Just hours before today's scheduled court proceedings against Gov. Stitt & the ABLE Commission, A District Court in OKC rescheduled the proceedings to January 8th.
  All Injunctions against enforcement are also extended. This pertains to the early closure orders for all dining and nightclubs, as well as taverns. The plaintiffs argue that state laws and constitutional order was grossly ignored by the state, and no authority to impose penalties is established. The ABLE Commission has declined so far, to defend the rationale of legal foundation for the citations they have issued to several struggling Oklahoma establishments.
  Another development which might be related, was the hint from Governor Stitt that a special session may be called as early as next week. It was a comment he made at a press conference about vaccine distributions at nursing homes. He said some legal remedy is needed to facilitate video conference meetings of state & municipal agencies.
  Governor Stitt could simply request another statutory Health Emergency and activate a special session within 48 hours.  The move could lead to a 30-day granting of special powers for the governor, but the legislature would have oversight and could revoke the emergency any time within those 30 days.
  Plaintiff's attorney, Frank Urbanic, leveraged the same Health Emergency declaration last April, when he published an expose' on the tactics of the governor's office, utilizing what appears to be some type of unofficial martial law powers, based on a finding that Oklahoma was in a state of widespread riot and/or insurrection, last March. 
  Within hours of  SoonerPolitics and others republishing Urbanic's discoveries, the governor called the health emergency request of the legislature.

  Civil Rights Attorney, Frank Urbanic, is our 2020 Citizen of the year for his efforts to hold state and local govt to respect and defend the federal & state Constitutions in their official duties.
  In a year like none other, 2020 is a memory we are all destined to never forget(sadly). But in times of trial, peril, and tyranny, those who remind us of our civilization's founding principles are especially to be valued. Those who rise up to champion the cause of individual liberty, societal virtue, and advancement of prosperity; they are to be esteemed.
  When we knew so little about a global virus from a Chinese laboratory, our nation had to revisit our founding principles and put them to the test. 
​When Governor Stitt first ordered a ban on large gatherings of people, Frank Urbanic researched official state documents and discovered some very troubling data. Urbanic published a blog post on his law firm's website, indicating that the governor seemed to have essentially declared that a state of widespread riot is endangering the state.  At least that is the implication of the Attorney general's legal notices.
  SoonerPolitics reposted the article on Thursday, April 2nd, and within hours the governor changed course and properly invoked a "Health Emergency Act" declaration,  & submitting a request of the legislature to grant him 30 days of special powers with legislative oversight.  As those 30 days came to an end, the governor was celebrated nationally as an example of how a state gets back up on it's feet and thriving.

 During a press conference at a vaccine location,  Gov. Kevin Stitt took one question regarding a special session to resolve meetings, voting, & public policy matters. He said he's been open to the idea of a special session 'if the pro temp and speaker want one'. 
  He did not specifically say that the special session would be precipitated by a Health Emergency Declaration, like the action he took in early April.  That statutory clause allows the proper implementation of emergency orders with a 30-day sunset and a legislative oversight committee.
  Recently, the governor appears to be making new laws on his own, by declaring either a state of civil unrest (riot & insurrection) or a natural or manmade disaster emergency. Neither of those last two categories are in any way applicable to the spread of a new virus strain, but the governor seems to prefer them as they allow him an open-ended sort of martial law powers.
   No previous governor has exercised so much emergency powers since Alfalfa Bill Murray declared martial law some 30 times in his tumultuous one term as governor in the early 1930s. Murray even led soldiers to war against Texas in a dispute over a border bridge near Durant.

The fiery floor debater of the Oklahoma House of representatives, John Bennett; is declaring his candidacy to lead the Oklahoma Republican Party in 2021. 
  Bennett has spent much of the past 30 years in national security and anti-terrorist efforts in military service. He has also spent years training civil law enforcement. As the first Republican ever elected in the 2nd House district (Sallisaw area), Bennett has been a unifying voice for common sense and bipartisan solutions which working  Democrats and Republicans largely support.  Bennett helped change Eastern and Southern Oklahoma into a solidly 'red' electoral region.
  Bennett was among the first elected officials in Oklahoma to support the Trump candidacy for president.   He's a husband and father & community leader. 
    Lawmakers of the past 10 years remember Bennett's back row fiery speeches advocating for fiscal responsibility and agency accountability, as well as parental rights and education reform.  Despite Bennet's advancement in House leadership, he always preferred the back row.
  Peace officers and other professionals in criminal justice have credited Bennett for bringing fundamental reforms and relief to our system of law enforcement and court adjudication.
  Bennett also serves as pastor of Lee Creek Assembly of God, near his Sallisaw home.
​  Bennett's press release is posted below.

  The Supreme Court's McGirt ruling of 2020 set up an unconstitutional 2-tier justice system in Eastern Oklahoma.  Our state legislature seems completely oblivious to the coming rage over the 'diplomatic immunity' that multiple thousands of our neighbors now claim.
  Some are hoping that the tribal courts will create commensurate laws so that every subject of this police state get the same harsh treatment. Many others are calling for Oklahoma to adjust our criminal code to reflect the federal statutes. For many crimes, especially white collar crimes; the stark contrast is an outrage to the 14th Amendment right of equal protections.
  Not one filed bill in the 2021 legislature addresses this inequity and denial of our 14th amendment rights of equal protection under the law.

  Frank Urbanic, an Oklahoma Civil Rights Attorney; just restored the rights of 6 Oklahoma taverns and restaurants, to remain fully open to the statutory 2am business hours.  A district court judge deemed that an injunction against governor Stitt and the ABLE Commission(the state agency enforcing statutory law and agency rules) were causing irreparable harm to several plaintiffs without first providing due process.
  Urbanic told Sooner Politics last week, that ABLE was beginning a practice of revoking liquor licenses if a tavern did not shut their doors at 11pm, daily. The problem with that is, The governor and state agencies were not establishing proper rulemaking procedures.
​  The Judge's act applies only to the 6 plaintiff restaurants & taverns,  because they were the only ones who fought back.  This ought to encourage more restaurants to defend their rights and claim their liberties; and hold the govt. to accountability.

  When an agency deems new rules are essential, they are required to publish such proposed rules and allow for a public comment period, to gauge the impact on the people. 

​The Oklahoma House of Representatives and Oklahoma Senate have planned a bipartisan, bicameral virtual demonstration of the redistricting software, Maptitude for Redistricting by Caliper, that both chambers will use to redraw new legislative and congressional district lines during the 2021 redistricting process.

As part of the Legislature’s transparency efforts surrounding redistricting, the public will be able to watch the virtual demonstration via livestream on the Oklahoma Senate website, https://oksenate.gov/live-chamber.

  Civil Rights Attorney, Frank Urbanic just sent Gov. Stitt a 'cease & desist' request pursuant to a false declaration of a statewide disaster, or a widespread state of riot.
  Urbanic is attempting to help several taverns and restaurants who are being intimidated, threatened and perhaps punished with loss of business licenses because they are following statutory law rather than made up and uncertified orders of some Liquor inspectors for the state of Oklahoma.
  So far, Urbanic says that Gov. Stitt is pretending not to have gotten any letters notifying him of unlawful actions of his liquor agency leadership and inspectors.
  Under proper & constitutional protocols, the agency would publish a set of proposed emergency rules and list the reasons and rationale for why the rules accomplish the end goals. 
  That would be followed by a public comment opportunity and a final draft of rules being formally approved, then sent to the governor, who is the only person able to enact such emergency  rules and their punishments for infractions.

  Yesterday, the state's public school employee union complained that they are supposed to be the top priority, far above the retail clerks and service industry workers. And to be more specific, teachers of the least endangered demographic (youth) are wanting the state health dept to provide the OEA(Oklahoma Education Association) members with full & immediate covid vaccines even if it results in delaying vaccinations for emergency first responders (paramedics, firefighters, peace officers, etc). 
​  In a report published by MSN, Alicia Priest, head of the top teachers union said caring for the children means the union educators are supposed to be closer to first in line..

  Early this morning my Roku TV posted a 'splash screen' overlay notice. The message said that Live streaming TV channels are being added to my broadcast TV channel guide. I decided to dig further. What I soon discovered is a whole new and simple TV viewing experience. It's called 'Live TV Channel Guide'.

  I cut the cord a few years ago, and have attached a reliable antenna to my TV. Having tested Roku 'set top boxes' since 2012, I now have a 'Roku TV' with the set top box built into the TV. I have several free streaming channels loaded, via my free Roku account. I pay nothing for any of these free channels. I get about 40 broadcast channels in the Tulsa metro area, and I probably have 120 various streaming & on-demand Roku apps installed into my TV.

 Cities with a mask mandate in effect, now are showing more illness per capita than cities not mandating mouth & nose coverings.
​ In page 12 of the State Health Dept's weekly Covid19 report (a 44 page file), the state's top public health authorities are now saying that the mask mandates are associated with a 4% higher illness outcome, in the most recent tabulations.
  The masks were never intended to be the 'front line' strategy for curtailing viral spread. It was a recommendation for "when socially distancing of 6 feet or more cannot be maintained in a continual presence.   The ever-evolving narrative of our science experts are creating a serious skepticism of anything coming from public health advisors.
  What many of us were concerned about is a false security in masks which have led many to become far less vigilant about keeping personal distance and other sanitation safeguards. 
  We know that distancing works. We know that the consumer masks don't filter out virus particles.  the mask is only a muffler to keep us from spewing our 'exhaust particles' across the room.  

  The testing statistics show a radically increasing 'doubling rate' of confirmed China Coronavirus cases in Oklahoma.  The summer spike receded from a 23-day doubling rate to a 59-day doubling of cases during the fall season.  But as November came, the rate has moved to a current 48-day doubling of total Oklahoma cases.
  We had about 110,000 confirmed cases on October 22nd. We now have 220,000 total cases. About 31,000 cases are deemed 'active.
  The active caseload is the area of public health concern to state officials. Quality care is important to keeping the fatality count low. Without access to proper medical resources, about 10% of those infected will face a compounded difficulty.  It's the one legitimate area of public health where moderating the spike is a rational argument for public cooperation.

 Late Monday night, Texas filed a federal lawsuit against Pennsylvania and 3 other states where election laws were improperly changed without legislative authorization in those states.
​ In the 4 states the election rules were diverse from county to county, without legislative approval; weakening the US 14th Amendment guarantees of 'equal protections under law'.
   Because the nature of the lawsuits is state vs state, the US Supreme Court is the immediate venue of deliberations.  It's a move which seeks to bar electors from being federally recognized in the weeks to come.
  The move is bold and hearkens to the legacy of Ted Cruz, who used to hold the role on behalf of Texas, for the State of Texas. It's a move which Oklahoma would do well to stand in solidarity with.  Gov. Kevin Stitt needs to decide if Oklahoma has the resolve to stand with the 'Lone State State'.
  Breitbart has a report on this move. We are providing a portion of that article, below.
