Letter: Truman did what was right

Tulsa Beacon

President Harry Truman was not “voted out of office.” In 1952, he became so unpopular because  of The Korean War, called a Police Action, the Truman war. He knew he would never be re-elected. The Republicans chose the popular General Eisenhower (Ike)  who campaigned on the slogan “I will go to Korea” and he won…

Letter: Telling the complete truth

Tulsa Beacon

On October 28, John M. Grant was put to death after being on our state’s death row for more than 20 years. He was an inmate in the Hominy prison when he pulled a 58-year-old food service supervisor into a mop closet and stabbed her 16 times, including 5 times to her vital organs. As…

Letter: End of the American Dream

Tulsa Beacon

Many have expressed similar thoughts but none with the stature of the Reverend Franklin Graham earlier this year when he was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, when he said, “America will not come back.” He wrote: “The American dream has ended. The first term of Joe Biden has  been the final…

Letter: UFOs and prophecy

Tulsa Beacon

Recently on 60 Minutes there was a report on UFOs – which are not figments of our imagination but with reasonable proof. The Pentagon believes this is our greatest threat. Picture proof and adequate evidence that these sightings prove that they contain technology unknown to us – technology that defies gravity and can totally disappear….

Letter: Justifiably not guilty because of insanity

Tulsa Beacon

The amazing success of the Taliban, who without masks or vaccinations, captured American military weapons which had cost our taxpayers close to a trillion dollars (or one thousand million dollars). That could have turned one million of our welfare recipients into millionaires. That would have solved our reparations problem. Not counting our Black Hawk helicopters…

Letter: It will take years for us to recover

Tulsa Beacon

This huge spending bill that has just passed the first hurdle, with 19 Republicans jumping on board, was obviously not read (with more than 2,500 pages). Reading 10 pages a day of this camouflaged bill would take almost nine months – with necessary campaigning, who has time for that? Trillions of dollars – each trillion…

Letter: Bernie’s marching orders to President Joe Biden

Tulsa Beacon

Last year, in listening to the Democrat National Convention, I was initially shocked when Sen. Bernie Sanders threw in the towel early and gave his delegation to Joe Biden. The thought quickly came to me that his conventional thinking was that Biden – traditionally, racially, religiously, etc. – had the best shot at winning over…

Letter: Restore Tulsa

Tulsa Beacon

For years Tulsa was known as the “Oil Capital of the World.” Also it was known as the home of Oral Roberts and the “Buckle of the Bible Belt.” Today, that image has changed to a Tulsa Massacre, now published in dozens of magazines and even viewed on 60 Minutes. They claim many mass graves…

Letter: Thank God for resurrection

Tulsa Beacon

I just read of a lady passing at age 73 with celebration life services on June 12 in the sanctuary of Boston Avenue Methodist Church. She was inurned in the Columbarium at the church. A vault with niches for urns contains the ashes of cremated bodies. Many Methodist churches including Asbury Methodist are leaving the…

Letter: Where is Tulsa on the race issue?

Tulsa Beacon

In Tulsa, where do we stand today? Few seem to have a clue with our BLM organizations and our 100th year anniversary of the 1921 Race Riot that was started by a black guy and ended in less that 16 hours by Oklahoma’s then-white National Guard. The most classis story of slavery is the story…
