Oklahoma raised private money to put a huge monument to the 10 Commandments on public government ground.  In response, a New York based Satanists group plans to put a Satan statue there, too.  The state has resisted the 2nd move, wrongfully calling the state a Christian entity.  Despite the rejection, a Hindu group has piled on, requesting to put a statue up of their deity.  Videos of Gretchen Carlson’s Fox News show that pitted Bill Donahue and Rabbi Schmuley against the Pres of an Atheists group.  A cake maker in Colorado is up on discrimination charges for rejecting a gay couple’s wedding cake.  Cenk sympathizes with the cake maker, and votes not guilty in the TYT Supreme Court.
