Letter: Mitt Romney is double-minded

Tulsa Beacon

Mitt Romney was sworn into the Senate in January . . . but before he could even be seated . . . he began his attacks on President Trump. Romney wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post saying, “Trump has not risen to the mantle of the presidency.”  Then, in an interview with CNN, Romney…

Letter: Americans want to build a wall

Tulsa Beacon

The Associated Press announced that the U.S. State Department has pledged $10.6 billion in aid for Central America and southern Mexico.  This announcement came at about the same time President Trump was hearing that Congress was not going to provide the $5 billion he requested for the Border Wall.

Letter: America needs to ‘build a wall’

Pope Francis says, “Don’t build the wall – build a bridge.”  Nancy Pelosi says, “Building a wall is immoral.”  And yet both of these individuals live on property that is fully secured and protected from intrusion.  Intrusion is defined as: “the act of wrongfully entering upon, seizing, or taking possession of the property of another.”…

Letter: Uplifting Bush funeral

Tulsa Beacon

My wife and I watched every minute of the ceremonies commemorating the life and passing of our 41st President.  It was a beautiful tribute, and it gave the whole world a more personal and intimate view of the man himself.

Lee – and – even removing their names from public schools. In Tulsa, the city council is considering changing “Brady Street” to “Reconciliation Way”…

Letter: Vote yes on Judge Kavanaugh

Tulsa Beacon

We’ve all been witnessing the despicable bad-behavior of Democrats in their attacks on Judge Brett Kavanaugh – and this disgusting spectacle is not over. Surely any reasonable person can see – these personal attacks against Judge Kavanaugh and his family are being orchestrated by Satan himself – and Senate Democrats have become willing participants. The…

Letter: Reject Obama’s vision for the US

Tulsa Beacon

When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he publically announced his plans for “The Fundamental Transformation of the United States of America.” At that time, most people didn’t understand what Obama was saying.  But now, ten years later, most reasonable people recognize the devastating changes our nation underwent under Barack Obama. In less than two…
