Socialism would be disastrous for Oklahoma, America

Tulsa Beacon

Why would a sharp turn to socialism be bad for the United States? There are multiple reasons. Karl Marx, the founding father of Marxism, was wrong about everything he predicted. Marx was convinced that the idea of separate countries would eventually fade into a one-world government.  He believed that capitalism would fail as a result…

Big, progressive newspapers are paying a price for their bias

Tulsa Beacon

Big newspapers are having a tough time these days and in most cases, it’s their own fault. The Tulsa World recently got sold again. Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway sold the paper because it didn’t make as much money as they thought it would. That was indicated by the sales price. Buffett, a financial genius,…

Sometimes war movies can provide a good history lesson

Tulsa Beacon

For some reason, there has been a rash of war movies released in the past few months. I have always had a keen interest in the history of warfare, especially World War II, since my late father, Harley Biggs, served in the Army in the European theater. I have seen some of these recent movies…

Growing up was special around Marvin and Patty Harp

Tulsa Beacon

I grew up four blocks from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harp, who lived on 8th Street, just east of Sheridan Road. They were Marvin and Patty Harp and their son Ronnie was one of my best friends ever when I was growing up. We were pals with Tim Herron, another great guy we…

A coronavirus pandemic could affect your vacation plan

Tulsa Beacon

I was on a Carnival cruise ship headed to the Caribbean when I got up early to go get a cup of coffee in the main restaurant. As I walked down the stairs, I noticed a member of the crew who seemed to be polishing the banisters on the stairway. I was impressed. I thought…

Really? Another movie sequel column?

Tulsa Beacon

Is there anything better than a movie sequel? If a movie makes some money, you can bet that there will be a second movie. Maybe multiple sequels. Maybe never-ending sequels. The James Bond movies are a classic example. Sixty-six years ago author Ian Fleming created the British secret agent character and the first film was…

If you could get Sen. Bernie Sanders to tell the truth…

Tulsa Beacon

Here is what you would expect in an interview with Bernie Sanders, the senator running for president, if he were candid. Question: What is socialism? Bernie: That’s where you send all of your money into the government and they in turn take care of all your needs. Question: Has that ever worked anywhere? Bernie: Of…

Francene Biggs is not different than most ‘teenagers’

Tulsa Beacon

Francene Biggs is a teenager. Not really. Actually, Francene just turned two years old. And no one calls her “Francene.” Unless she’s in real trouble, everyone calls her “Frankie.” And Frankie is not a person but a pug puppy. She is 14 in “dog years.” In fact, Frankie and Fiona are the two puppies that…

Billionaire Bloomberg is a very dangerous Democrat

Tulsa Beacon

There are a plethora of reasons why no one should vote for Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor who is running for the Democrat nomination for president. Bill Donohue, on www.newsmax.com, chronicled a host of policy reasons and personal criteria that should disqualify Bloomberg from getting the nomination, much less the vote in general…

Expect more and more politics during the 2018 cycle

Tulsa Beacon

Politics will again take center stage in 2018. On the national front, President Trump will continue to push his agenda in the face of irrational opposition from the Democrats and moderate Republicans. And every move Trump makes will be criticized by the liberal media (and reinforced by the local liberal newspaper, TV stations and some…
