The Tulsa Beacon

Using the National Guard and Reservists at the border is good

Tulsa Beacon

It has long caused wonder in my mind when our Reserve and National Guard units are called to their annual active two-week (if memory serves correct) duty period that they could be sent to serve, learn and practice in actual operations rather than go through the motions in some existing fort or base.  It now…

Being offended in America is becoming habit for some people

Tulsa Beacon

It seems to me that there is to be no end to the silly actions and demands of those of the “professional offendee” movement.  Just when it appears it has run its course, someone with nothing better to occupy their time and effort comes up with another (in my opinion) excuse to be offended and…

Assaults on French churches adds doubt to Notre Dame fire

Tulsa Beacon

The early morning talk show on April 16 and preceding news at 5 a.m. was full of stories about the sudden fire in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and how much damage had appeared to be done.  Early reports were that the French officials would not call it other than “perhaps an accident from…

Communists, socialists hold no concern for American borders

Tulsa Beacon

Frankly, it seems that those in the C/F/S (Communist/Fascist/Socialist) camp have zero concern for the future of the United States as a nation with its own property and integrity.  Every day Democrats, along with a few RINOs, in Congress strive to block all efforts by PRESDT-45 to have the government do what national governments of…

Efforts are underway to create a Gold Star Survivors’ memorial

Tulsa Beacon

Now for a relaxing change of pace from the evil and noisy proclamations we have been bombarded with for the last two and one-half years from the “goats” on the left.  It has recently, within the last year or so, come to my attention that someone has come forward with a plan to recognize those…

Hillary Clinton should have been investigated for Russian collusion

Tulsa Beacon

After more than two years of an inquisition-type “investigation,” the Mueller Special Counsel report has been delivered to the director of the Department of (in)Justice.  In my opinion, the term “injustice” fits since the terms of PRESJC-42 (Bill Clinton), who had the privilege of nominating candidates for Federal District and Appellate judges to positions created…

Gun control does not help if only criminals have the guns

Tulsa Beacon

One morning recently, the 5 a.m. radio news woke me up with the story that there had been a multiple shooting in two or three Islam Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.  First reports were that there were numerous victims killed and wounded in each – also that the perpetrator had used two military-grade rifles, and…

The current ‘revolution’ is a genuine threat to our republic

Tulsa Beacon

It appears to me that, like it or not, there is an incipient “revolution” now underway here in our republic established by ratification of the Constitution on September 13, 1788.  History has shown that nations operating as “democracies” – as opposed to tyrannies – have lasted no more that 200 years.  Unfortunately, the freedoms guaranteed…

Despite all the setbacks, there seems to be a glimmer of hope

Tulsa Beacon

It seems as though some things may be changing to offer some encouragement to those of us who revere the freedom we were born into and the Constitution that was written to guarantee those freedoms as coming from God.  As mentioned previously, some of us consider it that it was the doing of God that…

Our government is really a Republic, not a democracy

Tulsa Beacon

It has been a long and irritating experience for me to watch the way media personnel appear to knowingly twist and abuse our language (United States’ English).  And these abuses are not limited only to media individuals, but include elected officials, government employees and others who should know better but, in my opinion, deliberately misuse…
