Tulsa Beacon

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…

Tulsa Beacon

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…

Here are some challenges and goals for this new year

Tulsa Beacon

My view of the new year has adjusted this time and one reason is because I now have two grandchildren, a granddaughter, 20 months, and a grandson, 3 months. My hope for them is a real relationship to God through Jesus Christ and a life filled with purpose, peace and joy. I am concerned about…

Football plus some horrendous traffic in a trip Dallas

Tulsa Beacon

I went to the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington, Texas, to watch Oklahoma play Baylor on December 7. I had never been to the AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, so I was curious about what it was like. I had seen the stadium on television many times. Of course, I have been…

I’m going to get my grandchildren toys for Christmas

Tulsa Beacon

My daughter told me not to buy any more toys for my 18-month-old granddaughter for Christmas. Right. I have only been a grandparent for 18 months and that is not a whole lot of time to spoil a granddaughter. And now, I have twice as much spoiling to do thanks to the birth of my…

Dan Keating left his mark on America, Oklahoma, Tulsa

Tulsa Beacon

I first met Dan Keating in 2004 when he was instrumental in raising funds for the first Senate campaign for former Sen. Tom Coburn. We met but we didn’t speak a lot. Not too much later, Dan asked me to join him for lunch. I didn’t know what to expect. I thought he might be…
