Times Set To Uncover Trump's Elementary School Records

9/30/2016

Donald Trump, 9

As the 2016 presidential campaign goes into the home stretch, media outlets are scurrying to find every detail of the past history of the Republican nominee.

The biggest surprise finding appears to be a complaint of unsatisfactory manners, alleged by the mother of Doris Jendro. It was for an incident when the young Donald Trump, a 2nd grade student at Kew Forest School in Queens, NY failed to hold a door open for a female classmate.

Doris Jendro, a former classmate, is set to reveal her story of deep distress, abuse, and social rejection when she was Trump's 2nd grade classmate. She says she was late in coming in from the playground, but forgot her jacket so she ran back to get it. Trump had been holding the school door open for others who were coming in, but she claims he didn't keep waiting. He left her abandoned when he feared he would also be counted tardy from class if he stayed behind..

Jendro claims; "the Olson brothers and the Schmidt boy were not treated so poorly by Trump". She says the trauma she suffered that still haunts her to this day. She adds; "The abandonment and rejection is gut wrenching!"

Doris Jendro says she's convinced that Trump hates Slavic people and especially girls, and she believes her story needs to be told.

MSNBC and Huffington Post are said to be sending news crews to the Jendro family home. We expect a tell-all special in-depth interview to be in the works. Andrea Mitchell is said to be conducting the one-hour NBC special.

Disclaimer: if you can't figure out that this is sarcastic fiction, intended to use the absurd to illustrate the ridiculous; then you should stay home from the polls on election day.

Families Of Mentally Ill Get New Legal Options

9/30/2016

The Mark Costello Act For Assisted Outpatient Treatment.

Cathy Costello and four of her children were on hand for the governor's signing of the Mark Costello Act.

Legislation to help families get assisted outpatient treatment for adult relatives with mental illness before a situation reaches a crisis has been signed into law, this Summer. House Bill 1697, by Sen. AJ Griffin and Rep. Lee Denney, was formally signed by the governor, with the Costello family and many state leaders on hand for the event. The legislation is named the Labor Commissioner Mark Costello Act. Costello’s adult son, Christian, who struggled with mental illness for years, is charged in his father’s 2015 death.

Griffin said only a few decades ago, many with mental illness in this country were institutionalized, often against their will. With the move toward deinstitutionalization and community based treatment, laws were passed to ensure patients with mental illness could only be forced into treatment if they were an eminent threat to themselves or others.

HB 1697 outlines circumstances which would allow judges to order individuals to participate in an assisted outpatient treatment program:

if petitioned by immediate family members or guardians or those directly involved with the individual’s treatment.
The individual must be 18 years or older,
under the care of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, and
unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision.

2020 Election Campaign Starts Now.

9/29/2016

It's not uncommon to read of failed candidates in the presidential race and hear folks talk about their prospects in the next election cycle. But it's a rare sighting when a defeated candidate in an Oklahoma legislative race, begin public campaign activities for the 2020 election cycle.
Steve Day was defeated in his bid for House District 58 (Western Oklahoma, including Woodward). Carl Newton will represent the district, because no Democrat filed for the office. Speaker, Jeff Hickman is leaving the office this fall, having served his 12 year limit.
But tonight Steve formally changed his Facebook campaign page to:

Steve Day
Senate District 27

Is Lechery Subverting Conservatism In the Media?

9/29/2016

Gretchen Carlson - Roger Ailes

Roger Ailes has a legacy of political brilliance. Nothing will erase that. But since leaving electoral management Ailes has built some strong solid media machines. He transformed CNBC into an evening talk success. Remember when he managed Rush Limbaugh's 4 years of syndicated TV?
The Rupert Murdoch asked Ailes to take the helm of the new Fox News Channel. Since 1996, Ailes has been putting together a global news machine.
But the deep dark secrets of Roger Ailes' personal life are now becoming racey rumors and most recently, a financial drain on the news corporation he resigned from, this Summer.

Gretchen Carlson opened the first big flood of taudry rumors when she resigned and filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News, naming Ailes as a primary harasser.
But then came Andrea Tantaros' claims. Rudi Bakhtiar and Laurie Luhn added perhaps the most blatantly damaging claims against the men at Fox News.
Sadly, the network that good conservatives in the nation have seen as a hero of carrying a political message; now brings disrepute to that cause.
Other women have left under the guise of various public 'reasons'. We will see if their stories become nuanced as a result of the recent revelations.

Who Will Stand In the Way Of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority?

9/27/2016

The Oklahoma Authority is perpetually building and expanding it's network of "for pay" roads. The Authority is technically not a part of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, instead, it's a pseudo business run by a para-government monopoly.

  This year the OTA announced some bold new projects and some fee increases on all current roads in their network. Read more at the Oklahoman.

  Does the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ever step in and regulate this growing monster?

There are so many rumors and narratives of why we have a perpetual turnpike. But one truth is consistent;
"Temporary taxes are almost never ended."

Gov. Fallin enthusiatically announces Turnpike expansions and the seizure of private lands for this business venture of the OTA.

Remember, There's An Internet 'Kill Switch'

9/27/2016

At any moment, given a determination of national security advisers; perhaps all telecommunications currently routed over the internet may be shut down. Not by a catastrophe, but by a fearful or maniacal few.

Most Television networks being delivered by Cable TV companies will be likewise affected.
Cell phones will lose at least their mobile data,
Any info you store on the cloud may be inaccessible.

As we learned on Sept 11th, 2001; when a relatively small percent of us were traveling via commercial and charter aircraft, these disruptions have a much greater impact than we have the mental creativity to fathom.
Just as the Y2K preppers once planned for a date-certain, a growing group of global citizens are now planning backups.

Installing a TV antenna.
Buying a handheld 2-way radio.
Keeping a portable generator in the garage.

Let's face it. We are now greatly dependent on the internet. If it gets shut off even for a day or two, panic will set in, and we won't even have the ability to call the cops if we need them.

From the Publisher: Thank You, Citizen Journalists & Readers!

A Breakdown Of Oklahoma's Manslaughter Charge

9/22/2016

Manslaughter in the First Degree
First degree manslaughter is defined in 21 O.S. § 711, and it occurs when a death results from one of three specific criteria:

When perpetrated without a design to effect death by a person while engaged in the commission of a misdemeanor.
When perpetrated without a design to effect death, and in a heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual manner, or by means of a dangerous weapon; unless it is committed under such circumstances as constitute excusable or justifiable homicide.
When perpetrated unnecessarily either while resisting an attempt by the person killed to commit a crime, or after such attempt shall have failed.

Manslaughter charges are charged instead of murder charges when specific actions committed “without a design to effect death” claim the life of another person.

These words separate manslaughter from the “malice aforethought” or “imminently dangerous” actions “evincing a depraved mind” stipulated in first and second degree murder charges.

Betty Shelby is charged with 1st Degree Manslaughter in the death of Terence Crutcher.

Conservatives Divided On Ballot Questions

9/22/2016

3 Topics Are Especially Challenging -

Of the several questions put before the voters, this November, conservatives are finding themselves torn on a few issues.

They mostly agree on amending the state constitution so we are no longer more restrictive than the US constitution.
They really don't care for added repressive sales taxes when the legislature has plenty of ways to fund education.
They believe the death penalty is just, even if they see a need for fixing the process of sentencing or changing the mode of execution.

The 3 most controversial topics dividing conservatives are about:

farming rights
criminal sentencing
liquor laws

www.SoonerPolitics.org is devoting front page coverage to the 3 topics getting the most attention and debate. We are posting the media links to the grassroots organizations on both sides of these 3 state questions.

Find out the latest on the state questions, on the front page of the SoonerPolitics.org website.

Manslaughter Questions: The Terence Crutcher Death

9/20/2016

A stranded motorist was shot & killed Friday evening in Tulsa. The Tulsa Police Department helicopter transcriptions of the night Terence Crutcher, 40, was fatally shot by a police office were released Monday.

TPD officer Betty Shelby was identified as the person who fatally shot Crutcher. Officer Tyler Turnbough was also identified as the one who first used a Taser gun on Crutcher.

It clearly appears that the motorist was trying to discuss his predicament with arriving officers, but instead was confronted with several orders and drawn weapons.

Minnesot-istan: 11th Somali immigrant in Minneapolis charged with aiding ISIS

9/18/2016

The national media is rather inept in covering the wide scale activities of middle eastern refugees in the terror war going on worldwide.
Minnesotans are infuriated by their own liberal governor, who told St. Cloud citizens to "go find some other state to live in", if they don't like the flood of Somalis.

Mohamed Amiin Ali Roble, a Somali immigrant, became the 11th Minneapolis man to be charged with giving material support to the Islamic State.

Roble is thought to be in Syria fighting with ISIS. His uncle, who was tried in abstentia and convicted, was also thought to be in Syria but is rumored to have been killed. Nine other Somalis have been sentenced to jail terms of varying lengths.

From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Mohamed Amiin Ali Roble, the young I-35 bridge collapse survivor thought to have used thousands of dollars in settlement money to travel to Syria and join ISIL, has become the 11th Twin Cities man charged with providing support to the terror group.

Roble was 10 years old when he became one of 145 people injured in the August 2007 bridge collapse. He collected $91,654 in settlement money on his 18th birthday. According to federal charges filed Wednesday, those funds financed his 2014 travel to join the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and helped pay for cars and weddings for fellow jihadists in Syria.

9/18/2016

Tactical Advantage is a new training center and gun range, near the Crossroads mall, in St. Cloud, MN

Suspected knife terrorist

Jason Falconer is a former police chief in the small central Minnesota town of Albany. Two years ago he stepped down from that post to open a gun range & training center, so he could focus on equipping good citizens to protect themselves.
  Falconer opened Tactical Advantage in the county seat of St. Cloud, MN. He kept in law enforcement by signing on as a part time peace officer in the little outlying suburb of Avon, MN.
  On Saturday night he was doing some personal shopping at Crossroads Center mall and was in civilian clothing, but carrying his service pistol.
  One terrorist entered the mall disguised as a security officer and began a bloody rampage of knife assaults on several men, and 2 women. the youngest was a 15 year old girl.
The assailant was heard evoking the term Allah and even asking if the target was a Muslim, before viciously attempting murder.
  Jason Falconer confronted the crime in progress. Dahir Adan is rumored to be the lone attacker. He is identified as a Somali native and recent refugee.

Central Minnesota Mall Attack: Death, Gun Shots, Stabbings. Gunman Diseased

9/17/2016

Local reports say a gunman is still on the loose. Four are believed dead and several more wounded.

Saint Cloud Times is reporting:

A major police presence is responding to the Crossroads Center mall tonight after an incident that was reported about 8:30 p.m. Given the previous attack around the nation, today; some are raising the concern of a coordinated terror effort. Saint Cloud is not known to be a particularly violent town. The college town is home to an increasingly diverse ethnicity, due to an aggressive state policy of welcoming refugee populations.

Officers from St. Cloud, Waite Park, Cold Spring and the Minnesota State Patrol, as well as Gold Cross ambulance and St. Cloud Fire Department crews are on the scene.

International Group Ranks 'Most Libertarian Nations On Earth'

9/17/2016

As we get a closer look at what a Libertarian Party claims to stand for, we see that there are as many definitions of the term 'libertarian' as there are of the word; 'conservative'.
In 2012, Ron Paul defined himself as a 'constitutional conservative. Most voters identified him as a Libertarian. In 2015, just about every Republican presidential hopeful claimed the descriptive title for himself.
In the primary season, we also saw vast distinctions between the Libertarian candidates for president.
the UK Telegraph gives us a peak at how some of the rest of the world defines 'libertarian', in a study by Transparency International...

- spoiler alert- The US does not top on any of these lists.

Every society has it's own collective definitions of 'success'. But a libertarian society lets individuals define success in their terms. But the individual also has to live with his own consequences.

A guide to the world's most libertarian countries.
