Editorial: Bob Jack for County Commissioner

Tulsa Beacon

The Republicans in Tulsa County Commission District 3 have to make a decision on June 28. The best choice is Tulsa businessman Bob Jack. For 50 years, Jack has played important roles in some of the most important construction projects in Tulsa. He was senior vice president for Manhattan Construction’s Tulsa division for four years….

Editorial: Paul Hassink for District 79

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma House District 79 is a mostly conservative district in South Tulsa that is represented by perhaps the most liberal lawmaker in Oklahoma, Rep. Melissa Provenzano. That needs to change. And she needs to be replaced by a genuine conservative – not a Democrat who filed as a Republican to win a seat. The best…

Editorial: Democrats want to kill babies

Tulsa Beacon

It’s official. Democrats in Congress want to legalize abortion up unto to point of birth. Their bill last month would have taken America closer to codifying infanticide than ever before. Forty-nine Democrats voted for the “Women’s Health Protection Act” – which have been named the “Death to unborn babies bill – this month and thank…

Editorial: Vote for Senator Nathan Dahm

Tulsa Beacon

The U.S. Constitution is under assault. Our southern border is being overrun. Civil liberty is being quashed in the name of health care. America is poised to go to war with Russia. Inflation is outpacing economic growth. The national debt is over $30,000,000,000. Gas costs more than $4 a gallon and mothers are running out…

Editorial: Threatening SCOTUS justices

Tulsa Beacon

When the pro-abortion crowd doesn’t get their way, they react violently in trying to intimidate anyone who disagrees with them. When pro-life groups show up, they are orderly and they respect their opposition. When someone illegally leaked a U.S. Supreme Court memo indicating the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade, violent protesters attacked churches, non-profits…

Editorial: New laws to slow down marijuana

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahomans thought they were voting limit access to marijuana when they approved a constitutional amendment – State Question 788 – to legalize medical marijuana. That’s not what happened. Thousands of voters were fooled. The net effect of that cleverly written petition was the de facto legalization of recreational marijuana in the state. Marijuana permits are…

Editorial: Vote for OK AG John O’Connor

Tulsa Beacon

Character matters when it comes to the people we elect to office but it is particularly important in the office of Oklahoma Attorney General. An AG must be an expert on the law, have years of experience dealing with political issues and have the trust of the people. If you don’t think a dishonest attorney…

Editorial: Christians persecuted worldwide

Tulsa Beacon

The mainstream media and progressive politicians don’t like to talk about the persecution of Christians around the world. But it’s there and it’s increasing in scope and intensity, as reported by the U.S.-based Voice of the Martyrs. In India, for example, informants for the Hindu nationalist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are in almost every…

Editorial: More money, less buying power

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma State revenues in April surged to a record high propelled by income tax payments and that points toward a growing upward trend. State Treasurer Randy McDaniel cautioned that this apparent windfall may not last. In April, most categories of state revenues rose except medical marijuana taxes, which generated $62.6 million, down by $2.2 million,…

Editorial: SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade

Tulsa Beacon

Some people – including pro-lifers – thought this could never happen. And it still might not. But the U.S. Supreme Court, using key votes by justices appointed by former President Donald Trump, may overturn Roe v. Wade, the unconstitutional decision in 1973 that struck down state laws banning abortion. Now maybe states – including Oklahoma…
