Prater: The Most Dangerous Man In Oklahoma


 
The Most Dangerous Man in Oklahoma

Oklahoma County David Prater is beginning to draw some national attention for his arresting people without a valid crime to justify the arrest much less justify a trial. The video at the link below weaves the connection between Prater and former prosecutor Bob Macy. The author of the video is Diana Davison, a prolific video blogger and journalist who does a lot of thought provoking articles on anti feminism. An activist that supports men that are being crushed and a collaborator with Michelle Malkin, she brings some fresh insight into the insanity of modern gender roles.

Her latest video discusses the connections between two Oklahoma cases, Richard Glossip and Daniel Holtzclaw, and in the process she was shocked at what Oklahoma County David Prater has been able to get away with over the years. She reached out to Sooner Tea Party after discovering the blackmail illegal prosecution and the articles that STP had been writing since 2011 warning of David Prater's crimes.

Hug-A-Thug Story of the Week


Hug a Thug Story of the Week

Woodrow Greenback led police on a high speec chase on May 1st. Running as fast as 100 mph the car he had stolen came into Newcastle after fleeing a traffic stop earlier in Blanchard. As the car fled at more than 120 miles per hour down the small urban state highway in Newcastle the Newcastle police backed off for public safety reasons and Greenback escaped.
But it is a small town and Greenback was captured at the local Tri City Walmart soon after. Greenback had 20 grams of meth on him and was arrested for the drugs and for fleeing a police officer. A second suspect that was in the car during the car chase was also given up by Greenback.

Why is this case important? Because Greenback was out on OR for medical reasons they say. First lets look at his life of crime. The dates are with the charges and Greenback has multiple aliases. CF and CM are criminal felonies and criminal misdemeanors:

Josh Cockcroft Stabs Democracy In the Back


  
Oklahoma's Own Bull Conner
Representative Josh Cockcroft Stabs Democracy in the Back


Many agree that the Saturday GOP State Convention was well run and efficient, something that probably contributed to Pam Pollard's success in retaining her job as Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman. Pollard had done a good job building connections with the county GOP groups and the last minute attack by the Airy campaign didn't help Robert Airy who suffered from the fact that he was supported by the State Chamber of Commerce and probably using Fount Holland or one of the other mega consultants for the dirty tricks.

However, the Convention Chairman of the event pulled one of the dirtiest and disgusting acts that I have ever seen at a political convention. Representative Josh Cockcroft (Yeah, I know the real spelling, my way is better, look up the word croft and focus on the "small" aspect or the small scale food production aspect, whatever floats your boat) railroaded the destruction of several major rule changes including one that strikes at the heart of the Republican Party and the key to not losing the coming mid term elections. His partner in crime was AJ Ferratti (AKA the rat) the Parliamentarian convention for the event.

Leslie Osborn's Tax Bill From Last Week

Leslie Osborn's Tax Bills From Last Week

Below is information on the bills that we warned you about in our special edition newsletter on Wednesday night. Together we are looking at 400 million dollars in tax increases and new taxes. Please use the information in that last newsletter to contact your state rep and senator. If you didn't keep a copy look at the top of this newsletter and find the archives section, it will be near the top.

HB2348 freezes the allowed state deductions by untying the state standard deduction limits from the limits established and adjusted annually by the IRS. For tax year 2017 and all future tax years, the following standard deduction amounts would apply:
  • $6,350 for single or married filing separately;
  • $12,700 for married filing jointly or qualifying widower with dependent child;
  • $9,350 for head of household.

This will cost Oklahomans around four to five million in additional taxes and about as much in increased fees to accounting or tax preparation firms. As inflation continues the impact will grow each year.

Call your representatives and senators to kill this bill on the next floor vote or in Conference Committee.

Billions n New Taxes To Be Voted On, Wednesday



i
 We Need YOU to Act Now!

 We seldom put out a special edition newsletter but this is one of those crucial moments in the legislative session and if you have ever emailed or called a legislator now is the time to do it again and if you haven't now is the time to do it for the first time.

Tomorrow House Leadership is going to try to ramm a couple of Rep. Leslie Osborn's bills through the House.  Both went through committee and both are scheduled to be heard tomorrow.  Both will ad billions of new taxes and increased taxes upon Oklahoma taxpayers.  Both need to be stopped.

The first bill freezes your standard deduction to current levels when you file your Oklahoma taxes.   Traditionally the state has used the Federal standard deduction.  If this bill passes the amount will NOT go up as the Federal standard deduction goes up, inflation be damned, the state wants more of your money.   You would have to fill out the LONG state tax form or pay an accountant to do that for you if you want to take full deductions.

The second bill is illegal and unconstitutional as hell, it is log rolling, the inclusion of multiple issues in one bill.   What the bastards are doing is coupling the killing of the old Gross Production tax rate deal that has set the rates at 2%, down from 7% in the past, while all the surrounding states still kept the 7 or 7/5% rate.  This was corporate welfare at its worst and killing this old tax credit/reduction is a good thing BUT House Leadership has bundled that billions of dollars in cigarette tax increase with a gas tax increase of 6 cents per gallon.   So they are killing a tax credit and increasing two taxes, pure log rolling at its worst.

Osborn Showing Massive Disrespect For McCall


 Driving Like Hell Once Again,
Rep. Leslie Osborn
Showing Massive Disrespect for Speaker McCall

You gotta say this about Leslie Osborn, she isn't an enigma.  Busted a few years ago for driving at over 100 miles per hour on a highway she pretty much does as she wishes and the last few months she seems to revel in tweaking Speaker Charles McCall's nose.    It is also no secret that Osborn is angling for the Insurance Commissioner race next year and she is using her position as House A&B Chairman to pave the way for special interest campaign donations.

The author of over a dozen new taxes, tax increases, or fee increases, Osborn is pushing for the cigarette tax increase and many, many other ways to raise taxes on Oklahomans.  She probably figures that is if she get a million dollars in campaign donations from the players and donor class she can lie her way into office in 2018.    Damn the truth when you have an ad budget and a gullible public.

Osborn has her A&B Chair position for one simple reason; she traded her chance to run for Speaker to McCall in return for the powerful position that sets the state budget and funding so the position gathers a LOT of campaign donations from the donor class. 

Dumb & Dumber:Game Wardens & OK2A


  
Dumb and Dumber

Men and women go up to the Capitol and lose their way, we have seen it time and time again and those people aren't always elected officials.  Activists sell out, group leaders sell out even more often, but the worst are those that generate a massive ego and think they can manipulate the legislators and eventually their own members and supporters.  In that process they quickly lose the respect of the legislators and the support of their own supporters as the dichotomy builds.

An excellent case of this reared its head this week over SB6, a senate bill that started out as a way to exempt elected officials from some of Oklahoma's gun laws and allow them to carry a concealed or open weapon when performing their official duties.  OK2A, one of the gun groups in the state had pushed for this, bragged about getting it filed actually, while a lot of conservatives looked askew at the idea of creating a special class of citizen that was allowed to have their Second Amendment rights while the rest of us remained unprotected.

Near mid week OK2A called for phone calls and emails, after earlier posting confusing messages about supporting or not supporting the legislation.   Finally OK2A made up their mind and asked members to support the legislation and then raised hell when the bill failed to pass.   Then they changed their mind once again and claimed:
