Oklahoma Watch published a video of the event [below], which included over 100 participants and nearly 50 protesters, who held signs reading “Islam = Death” and “Every real Muslim is a jihadist.” The event was sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
A state trooper identified the woman as Christine Weick, an anti-Islam activist who has disrupted similar events at the National Cathedral and the Texas Capitol. Highway patrol officers escorted Weick from the building, but she was not arrested.
Oklahoma state Rep. Mike Shelton, D-Oklahoma City, encouraged CAIR and members of the Muslim community to become active in state and local government, according to Oklahoma Watch.
Not all Oklahoma lawmakers were supportive, however. State Rep. John Bennett, R-Sallisaw, released a statement on Jan. 8 criticizing CAIR.
The statement said, “If CAIR Oklahoma really condemns terrorism and believes in First Amendment protections for everyone, they need to prove it by condemning the verses in the Quran that call for these violent acts and Mohammed’s hadiths that call for and justify violent acts.”

It seemed like a typical congressional meeting for the Republic of Texas. Senators and the president gathered in the center of a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall, surrounded by public onlookers, to debate issues of the national currency, develop international relations and celebrate the birthday of one of their oldest members.
But this wasn’t 1836, and this would be no ordinary legislative conference. Minutes into the meeting a man among the onlookers stood and moved to open the hall door, letting in an armed and armored force of the Bryan Police Department, the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office, the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office, Agents of the Texas District Attorney, the Texas Rangers and the FBI.
In the end, at least 20 officers corralled, searched and fingerprinted all 60 meeting attendees, before seizing all cellphones and recording equipment in a Valentine’s Day 2015 raid on the Texas separatist group.
“We had no idea what was going on,” said John Jarnecke, president of the Republic of Texas. “We knew of nothing that would warrant such an action.”
The raid was a response to legal summons sent by Republic of Texas members to a Kerr County judge and bank employee, demanding they appear in the Republic’s court at the Veterans and Foreign Wars building in Bryan the day the officers stormed in. Jarnecke’s group, the subject of a half-hour YouTube documentary [see below], maintains a small working government, including official currency, congress and courts.

Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson CPAC speech was overtly Christian and politically incorrect. He hit his critics for saying he was “too religious.” He retorted by quoting the founders, including George Washington who said the young nation’s military men should not curse or be drunk.
Phil Robertson also reminded the audience that the founders were godly and relied on Providence for their miraculous victory against the British. They believed that happiness was contingent on being “godly” and “having Jesus.”
Phil said he was giving the “State of the Union” and noted that even John Adams said, you lose your religion, you lose your morality.
The Duck Dynasty star then hit American immorality hard, citing the 110 million Americans who have sexually transmitted diseases:
I don’t want you America to get sick. I don’t want you to get ill. I don’t want you to come down with a debilitating disease. I don’t want you to die early. If you’re disease free and she’s disease free, you’re married, you keep your sex right there, you won’t get sick from a sexually transmitted disease. Come on!
There is a penalty to be paid from what the beatniks and it morphed into the hippies. You say what do you call the 110 million people who have sexually transmitted illnesses? It’s the revenge of the hippies. Sex, drugs and rock and roll have come back to haunt us. In a bad way! I report, you decide.
He went on to observe,
You want a godly biblical medically safe option? One man, one woman married for life. And if you hate me because I told you that, I told you my love for you is not contingent on how you feel about me. I’ll love you anyway.
Phil then quoted from the father of the Constitution, James Madison:
‘This Constitution was written for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.’ You know what’s happened GOP? We have too many ‘any others’ in the White House. It wasn’t written for them.’
Robertson then encouraged conservatives to “hold on to their weapons,” the bible and the Constitution. He said, “that’s what brought us here.”

By Mike Allen. In a lengthy discussion ranging from his own exposure to the civil rights movement of the ’60s to today’s controversies surrounding the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, Holder also acknowledged that he felt some of his own struggles with Republicans in Congress during his six years in office were driven partly by race.
“There have been times when I thought that’s at least a piece of it,” Holder said, adding that “I think that the primary motivator has probably been political in nature … [but] you can’t let it deflect you from … your eyes on the prize.”
Holder told POLITICO that between now and his departure, probably in early March when the Senate is expected to confirm Loretta Lynch as his successor, he will call for a lower standard of proof for civil rights crimes. Such a change would make it easier for the federal government to bring charges in the case of a future Ferguson or Trayvon Martin.
“I think some serious consideration needs to be given to the standard of proof that has to be met before federal involvement is appropriate, and that’s something that I am going to be talking about before I leave office,” Holder, 64, said.
Pathetic: Obama Breaks Into Tears as He Says Goodbye to Holder
By Pam Key. Friday, President Barack Obama spoke at the portrait unveiling ceremony for outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, which led to the commander-in-chief breaking into tears that he wiped away as he finished his remarks.

Huffington Post Publishes 7-Step Guide to Finding an Extremist, Feminist University
This week, Huff Po gave its liberal readers a guide on finding a feminist college:
Do you have a tendency to drop F-bombs when you talk? No, not that F-bomb. We mean “feminism”! While the definition of feminism continues to evolve and grow, it’s basically a collection of movements and ideologies that support the idea that women should be allowed the same rights, power and opportunities as men. Feminism can also strive to end discrimination and oppression of people based on gender, sexual orientation, race and class.
Whether you’re a vocal feminist activist or just starting to learn the ins and outs of feminism, the college you attend this fall shouldn’t be afraid of confronting women’s and gender issues in mainstream campus culture and should offer a supportive space where you can explore your ideas and beliefs. Check out these seven ways to determine whether or not a college is a good match for your inner (or outer) feminist!

By Norvell Rose. He’s literally an overnight sensation — a Georgia middle school student named CJ Pearson who posted a YouTube video on Saturday in defense of Rudy Giuliani’s controversial contention that Barack Obama doesn’t love America.
As the former New York City mayor continues to find himself at the center of a swirling firestorm of liberal criticism mixed with utter derision and even death threats, here comes a homemade video from a remarkably well spoken 12-year-old who’s got Rudy’s back.
The video in which young Mr. Pearson “applauds” Giuliani as he calls out Obama for his “downright hate” of American values has logged more than 300,000 views as of this writing. A quick analysis shows the view count for the piece entitled “President Obama: Do you really love America?” is climbing by the hundreds every few minutes. (Read more about the rebuke of Obama HERE)
Rudy Giuliani Receiving Death Threats for Obama Comments
By Jim Acosta. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said his office has received death threats since his controversial comments accusing President Barack Obama of not loving America.
“My secretary has received some death threats,” Giuliani said in a brief interview by phone. But the former mayor emphasized the majority of the voice mails left at his office were supportive of his remarks. Giuliani did not say whether he alerted police to the threatening calls. CNN cannot confirm whether the threats were made.
As for his initial remarks that ignited the firestorm, spoken at a private dinner for Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker, a potential 2016 presidential contender, Giuliani offered no apologies.
“I don’t regret making the statement. I believe it,” Giuliani said. “I don’t know if he loves America,” he added. (Read more from this story HERE)

By Alexandra Jaffe. Ben Carson is expanding his fundraising operation, bringing on a senior adviser with ties to Newt Gingrich to run his small-dollar fundraising efforts if he runs for president.
Mike Murray, president and CEO of TMA Direct, a direct-mail firm that does work for conservative organizations and outlets ranging from the National Rifle Association to National Review, would oversee Carson’s grassroots fundraising, if the retired neurosurgeon makes a play for the White House.
He’s expressed interest in a run, and has begun testing the waters in early primary states and hiring staff. In January, he hired a former Michele Bachmann staffer to help him build his operation in Iowa. (Read more from this story about Ben Carson HERE)

Headlines and newscasts around the nation reported Alabama’s first legal same sex marriages as historic, but one Birmingham pastor this afternoon illustrated another view with his scathing public criticism.
Cedric Hatcher, an outspoken street evangelist and regular at Birmingham City Hall, took to the lectern during the public comment portion of today’s meeting to express his disapproval of the marriages that took place just across Linn Park and around the state Monday.
“To me yesterday was one of the most bizarre scenes I’ve ever seen in the city,” Hatcher said. “It was one of the most comedic scenes I’ve ever seen in public when I witnessed men with size 13 and 14 shoes out there kissing each other in the mouth in front of little kids. It was like a freak scene going on, that’s what I call it.”
Like his previous statements on social issues, Hatcher didn’t soften his approach when criticizing the legalization of same-sex marriage. He delivered an abrasive critique instead.
Hatcher cited several Bible passages and decried the presence of children in ceremonies he believed were abominable. (Read more from the speech about gay marriage HERE)

A pharmacist who fatally shot an armed robber in his drug store won’t face criminal charges, Kanawha County prosecutor Chuck Miller said Friday.
“The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department has interviewed witnesses and reviewed the video tapes of surveillance and provided those to the prosecuting attorney’s office,” Miller said during a news conference. “We have considered them and do not believe there are any criminal charges necessary to be filed against Mr. Don Radcliff.”
The suspect, Terry Gillenwater, entered the Good Family Pharmacy in Pinch on Wednesday morning wearing a mask. He pulled a gun and pointed it at the employees behind the counter. Radcliff was one of those employees, but was armed with a pistol and a conceal carry permit. He drew his .45 caliber pistol and shot Gillenwater three times.
After one shot struck Gillenwater’s shoulder, the assailant continued to point his gun. A second shot hit Gillenwater’s gun in the muzzle and disabled it. Gillenwater continued to point and try to shoot, but a third shot put him down. Radcliff and others immediately rendered first aid, before Gillenwater died at a Charleston hospital.
“Mr. Gillenwater had done some preliminary efforts to case the pharmacy,” said Miller. “He had done some search on his iPhone with respect to drugs in the pharmacy.” (Read more from “Pharmacist Killed Robber, Won’t be Charged” HERE)
Son Buys His Widowed Mother a Gun; 1 Week Later, She Needed It
By Laura Borchers. A man was shot while reportedly breaking into homes in a west Columbus neighborhood.
It happened Thursday around 5 a.m. on North Guilford Avenue.
Columbus Police at the scene tell 10TV a widow heard someone breaking in, grabbed her gun and shot the intruder.
“She was armed and apparently fired multiple shots at him,” said Sgt. Dave Sicilia.
The woman’s son says he bought the gun for her a week ago to keep her safe now that she is living alone, but he never thought she would actually have to use it. (Read more about the widowed mother using the gun HERE)
By KREM Staff. An escaped inmate from Shoshone County was taken to the Shoshone Medical Center after being hit by at least one bullet in the leg.
At approximately 5:38 p.m. on Thursday a homeowner on Placer Creek North of Wallace went to check on his barking dog. The homeowner, Brian Becker, confronted Roy Bieluch on his property and called 911 for deputies.
“I told him get your hands where I can see them. He said, ‘No.’ At one point he stepped forward and that’s when I shot him. He went down immediately,” said Becker.
Officials said the homeowner ordered him to stay where he was, but apparently Bieluch approached the homeowner who then fired multiple handgun rounds at him, striking him at least once in the leg. (Read more from this story HERE)
By Penny Starr. A Muslim prayer was recited at the start of the second day of the White House summit on “Countering Violent Extremism,” but no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press.
Imam Sheikh Sa’ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, Minn., recited a “verse from the Quran” following remarks by Obama administration officials and Democratic members of Congress.
“In translation those verses of the Quran mean ‘Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption in the land, it’s as if he has slain mankind entirely, and whoever saves one life, it’s as if he has saved mankind entirely,’” Adam said.
“Mosques serve as (sic) beacon of hope,” Adam said. “While imams’ provide moral compass for the Muslim community in navigating life.”
Adam said “religious leaders” want to have “dialogue” with the U.S. government about “issues of concern” and said that Muslim imams have spoken out against terrorism. (Read more about the prayer at the summit on violent extremism HERE)
Obama: ‘Islam Has Been Woven Into the Fabric of Our Country Since Its Founding’
By Susan Jones. We hear a lot about the United States’ Judeo-Christian heritage, but according to President Obama, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.”
That’s what the president told a White House conference on “countering violent extremism” on Wednesday.
Obama has said similar things in the past:
“I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story,” Obama said in a June 2009 speech in Cairo, Egypt. “Islam has always been part of America,” he said in a 2010 statement marking the start of Ramadan. And in a 2014 statement marking Eid, Obama said the holiday “also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.”
In his speech on Wednesday, Obama was making the point that Western nations must show that they “welcome people of all faiths,” at a time when “extremists” are saying that Western nations are “hostile to Muslims.” (Read more about the Muslim Prayer at Summit on Violent Extremism HERE)
