Oklahoma Approves Donald J. Trump Highway
A very small stretch of one of America s most historically important roads is being dedicated as the Donald J. Trump Highway up in Oklahoma s panhandle. While the hot story surrounding it across the medias today is how it was snuck into a bill about bridge and road bill, it was literally a bill written to name several bridges and stretches of road across the state. No harm, no foul. The thing nobody is really talking about it is, this stretch of road travels through no-mans-land and the odds of you finding yourself on it are bleak.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. The space shuttle Columbia arrived at Tinker Air Force Base Monday riding piggyback on a Boeing 747 for the last leg of a journey that began April 12 and took it around the world 36 times.
Thousands of people had crowded onto the base prior to the space orbiter s arrival at 3:53 CDT and thousands more were waiting their chance to get a close-up look at the first re-usable spacecraft.

Tinker officials expected approximately 100,000 people to pass through the base to take pictures and just look at the spaceship from a public viewing area 1,000 feet away before the craft s departure for Cape Canaveral Tuesday morning.
