Abortion activists ‘Hail Satan’

By David Arnett

Abortion activists in Texas chanted ‘Hail Satan’ as pro-life residents were singing ‘Amazing Grace’ outside the state capitol building last week. Frankly, when first reports of the incident began to surface, Tulsa Today didn’t believe it. Could even some few be that evil?

The incident occurred as battle rages over a late-term abortion bill being considered in the Texas Senate. Blogger Adam Cahm captured the chanting on video, and a number of pro-life residents present posted about the matter on Twitter and Facebook.

DOJ goes after coal-fired power

By Staff Report

OKEnergyToday.com has the latest on the story on the battle between the U.S. Department of Justice and Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E):

The U.S. Justice Department filed enforcement actions against two coal-fired power plants operated by Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E) arguing that OG&E increased the output of coal-fired boilers at the plants without installing modern pollution protections. The Department of Justice filed the cases against OG&E on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the New Source Review, or NSR, provisions of the Clean Air Act for modifying and operating the Sooner Power Plant and the Muskogee Power Plant without first installing modern pollution control technology like scrubbers and catalysts.

Scrubbers and catalysts are required to greatly reduce emissions and clean up the air in the region.

Bridenstine did not support the reelection of House Speaker John Boehner. He sleeps in his office during the work week and returns to Oklahoma often to be with his young family and his constituents.

While there has been a great deal written about President Obama’s Chicago “push or pay” way of intimidating or buying political support by hook or crook; Bridenstine delivers what some call “Okie Attitude” to counter the “Chicago Way.”

Luis Lucio Rosales Astorga, the police chief in the city of Hostotipaquillo, was shot to death Jan. 29 when gunmen intercepted his patrol car and opened fire. Also killed was one of his bodyguards. His wife and a second bodyguard were wounded.
