Wagoner County Sheriff Chris Elliot Under STP Investigation for Corruption and Abuse of Power Part 1


The Corrupt Sheriff of Wagoner County
  Sheriff Chris Elliot of Wagoner County first came on our radar as an associate of Brownie McDugle, AKA Rep. Kevin McDugle, renowned for sexual perversion and abandoning his wife and adopted kids. Elliot had fired a deputy, the spokesperson for his department actually, after the deputy had filed to run against McDugle in the 2018 House primary race.
  Despite discussing the election with Deputy Mahoney prior to filing for office and okaying the run, Elliot fired Mahoney about six weeks before the primary election. In order to obtain a job to feed his family in a Muskogee area police department Mahoney had to suspend his campaign, leaving no one to campaign on his behalf and with the discussion of the suspended campaign on local talk radio the bulk of the voters believed that a vote for Mahoney was a wasted vote.
  Even worse, after the initial vote was within a few votes of a tie the money was raised for a recount, the petition filed, only to see local county officials suspend Mahoney's wife from her low level job at the Election Board in Wagoner County. That caused the recount to be dropped despite fifty or sixty suspicious votes that had already been found and documented.

The Trump Index is Coming


TheTrump Index Is Coming
Exactly What Does Trump Stand For?

Few conservatives will argue that Donald Trump has been the best president in a hundred years, one of the rare ones that ever actually delivered on his campaign promises. Renaming our annual voting index for the State House and Senate to the Trump Index will make the scores butt clear to everyone and have a much greater impact on the voters.
First before choosing the bills to be scored we have to determine what Trump stands for and what he stands against. To do that we researched his speeches and quotes and came up with the following list.

Abortion:
Trump is solidly pro life but a sensible person and in no way an abolitionist. He was once pro choice but is now working hard to deny Planned Parenthood funding, supports parental consent for abortion for minors, and puts originalistic judges on the bench.

What the Weed Industry Isn't Telling Us




Marijuana and Mental Illness
What the Weed Industry Isn't Telling us
 
A week or so back a post on Facebook linked to a story on the Unity Bill, the legislation passed in this legislative session designed to fix many of the problems with SQ 788. The story discussed the August 28th implementation of the law and what employers needed to know. STP looked into the issue, found it was indeed a good thing that employers were soon to get some relief to prevent worker injuries and law claims by being able to fire or simply not hire those with medical marijuana cards or those who couldn't pass a drug test. A story was written covering the benefits to employers and that set off many in the marijuana industry and the attacks on Facebook exploded.

Dear STP: Keep Investigating Kannady


A Letter to the Editor

Dear Sooner Tea Party
  Please continue the pursuit of truth regarding Kannady. Even if these women do not come forth Kannady was directly responsible for the loss of several conservative voices, calling them a cancer. This statement was made in a NYT article. Coincidentally the targeted conservatives were also targeted by the OEA. In this pat session Kannady held up a bill for strictly personal reasons. HE DID NOT LIKE THE AUTHOR! What is just as, if not more disgusting, is the continued place by GOP leadership is that Kannady remains in a leadership position. This fiasco brings into question the relevancy of the OKGOP. This is an example of the Pollard legacy.

SQ788 May Cost You Your Job



Careful What You Wish For as You Just Might Get What You Deserve
  People think that there have been only two world wide wars, WWI and WWII. They are wrong, the American Revolution set lose a world wide war that led Britain to face France, Holland, and Spain at sea, the nascent U.S. Government, revolts in India by the Muslims and Hindus, as well as a long siege of Gibraltar by the Spanish. Of all the combatants only the U.S. came out ahead. Holland lost colonies, the subcontinent of India remained under British rule for another 140 years, the Spanish and French lost massive amounts of ships, and France of course went through the French Revolution. England herself was badly battered and had to fight hard to hang onto her world wide colonies. And all because the English crown wanted to tax without representation.

Senatorial Privileges Denied

June 9th 2019 Newsletter
Sadly this is what we have come to expect from Oklahoma State Senators and their families. Pamela Yen was featured in our newsletter in October of 2017 after being arrested for assault and battery after she was caught trying to steal items from a Del City estate sale. But the story had legs, after her arrest she filed a lawsuit against the estate sale owner and lost her suit and lost a counter suit filed by the owner of the estate sale.
Mrs. Yen had found a painting in a storage area, sent there after it had been sold to another customer, took it to a register and tried to purchase it. She threw a fit allegedly after finding out someone had already purchased the painting, leading to what was described as a thirty minute rant and rave episode.

Bullying Doesn't Work, Freda Deskin

Bullying Doesn't Work Freda Deskin
On May fifth we ran a story by guest writer Lorraine Grula, a former employee of Aztec Charter Schools. Grula's allegations were no surprise to the readers of our newsletter after the 2014 exposure of both Deskin and her long time boyfriend Leo Espinoza, including criminal complaints against Espinoza. 
  The Democrat donor class had supported Deskin for State Superintendent in the 2014 primary but John Cox supporters gave the Sooner Tea Party enough information on Deskin and Espinoza that we were able to torpedo Deskin's run for office.

Soft Bigotry In the Tulsa GOP?


Republican National Committee
 & Tulsa County GOP
Says to Young Minorities:
Go to the Back of the Bus Please”
  A few months back the RNC and Oklahoma GOP started asking people to nominate people for a training event to be held at the Oklahoma GOP. Called Campaign Management College the idea was to bring in Oklahoma's best young candidates along with those in nearby states and do a hands on campaign boot camp. Sounds good, eh?
  Then politics took control up in Tulsa Oklahoma. Tulsa County GOP Chairman Bob Jack decided on his own that the field for Senate race 37, Dan Newberry's old seat. Anesthesiologist Chris Emerson has Bob Jack's support, and Jack is running interference for Emerson including refusing to host any debates. In fact, Chairman Bob Jack has declared that anyone using the term “RINO” would be driven out of the Party.

Two of the Victims of Rep. Chris Kannady

Last week's newsletter got a reaction from House leadership, legislators, and the lobbyists and made many more than a little nervous. Some forget that they are always in the public's eye and that they “own” their office for two years or four years with no guarantees on the next election.   However, there were signs this week that restored faith in elements of leadership so we are more confident that the problems we saw will be addressed. Enough so that we are going to hold off and see what happens.
Leadership and those that prop them up asked for time and understanding to look into this matter. We understand alright, if leadership comes out swinging against fellow members, Kannady, McDugle, Wallace, and Fetgatter, that they've gotta have some damn good claims and evidence. We also understand you have to actually investigate the claims before you can pass judgment. The allegations are serious! And how one, let alone multiple lawmakers get in a disgusting position is disappointing, and that's being too damn kind. Play the game if you dare but don't put yourself in situations that are illegal or unseemly so no one has dirt on you to begin with.
