We got mixed results from our 2020 backyard garden

Tulsa Beacon

I didn’t grow any pumpkins in my backyard garden this year. I didn’t have a good crop two years ago because of worms – I only got one usable pumpkin – and I didn’t feel up to it last year. Susan makes pumpkin pies and pumpkin bread from scratch, so we have to buy pumpkins….

The strangeness of Halloween will be stranger this year

Tulsa Beacon

Can children go trick-or-treating in Tulsa on Halloween? Only if they wear a mask. Halloween is always weird but the Chinese coronavirus is going to make it especially strange and awkward this year. Tulsa has a mask ordinance that requires everyone – age and 10 or older – to wear a mask in public, to…

Democrats, not Trump, colluded with the Russians in 2016

Tulsa Beacon

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and Barack Obama administration tried to engineer a coup and overturn the legitimate election of President Donald Trump. This should make every decent American angry. Obama used the FBI, under disgraced former FBI chief James Comey, to lie to federal courts to get several warrants to spy on the Trump…

Here are some of the lies Biden told during the debate

Tulsa Beacon

Joe Biden lied to America in first debate with a straight face. By at least one count, Biden told 33 outright lies. He exaggerated, misled the audience and was simply wrong more than a dozen times. Here are examples. Biden: “I’m not opposed to the Justice.” The Truth: Biden put out a statement in opposition…

Bill Biggs

My brother Bill left a true legacy of Christian love, service

Tulsa Beacon

You couldn’t have a better big brother than Bill Biggs.  Bill went to be with his Heavenly Father Sunday morning. He is now reunited with my parents, and my three brothers and sister who have gone before. A memorial service is being planned at New Life Ranch on April 1, 2021 (Bill’s birthday). I was…

We had some fun in the sun in Treasure Island, Florida

Tulsa Beacon

On July 10, Susan and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary. Sort of. We were both recovering from mild cases of the Chinese coronavirus. We had scheduled a long weekend trip to Florida to celebrate our anniversary but we had to cancel because of the pandemic. We then scheduled a short trip to Branson and…

Tulsa’s Christmas Parade changes due to the coronavirus

Tulsa Beacon

As of this month, the Tulsa Christmas Parade is supposed to be a normal, traditional parade. A backup plan is being formed in light of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Cases are decreasing but in case of a new outbreak or more government control, the parade could become a “drive through” parade.  The date is December…

I don’t want to get used to the ‘new normal’ in America

Tulsa Beacon

In 1970, three buses left the Skelly Building (now Boulder Towers) on an early Saturday morning filled with Skelly employees plus me and one of my brothers. For $25, we got a ride to and from The University of Oklahoma in Norman and a ticket to an OU football game including a sack lunch. I…

We can’t let the pandemic ruin every aspect of our lives

Tulsa Beacon

On August 15, the liberal Tulsa World published an editorial insisting that the NCAA cancel all college football games this fall. According to the editorial, “The COVID-19 pandemic makes college football too risky… “Cancel the 2020 college football season, or at least postpone it to spring if it can be done safely then.” This attitude…

Democrat-run cities want to eliminate police departments

Tulsa Beacon

Guess who is defunding their police department? The City of Austin, Capitol city of Texas. That is hard to believe. The Austin City Council, a hotbed of progressive, didn’t completely defund the police – they just cut $150,000,000.00 from the police budget out of a total budget of $4,200,000,000.00. The original budget called for about…
