Editorial: Out-of-control border invasion

Tulsa Beacon

Joe Biden’s scheme to open America’s borders to illegal aliens in the hopes that the U.S. will eliminate voting ID requirements and the illegals will vote for Democrats is working as planned. In August, the DHS reported about 200,000 illegally crossed into the United States at the southern border. That is the second month in…

Editorial: Welcome new Big 12 members

Tulsa Beacon

The Big 12 Conference voted to accept Brigham Young, Cincinnati, Houston and Central Florida into their league in the wake of the eventual departure of Oklahoma and Texas into the Southeastern Conference. This is the Big 12 making the best out of a bad situation. Without any public debate or notice, OU and Texas secretly…

Editorial: Thanks to energy, revenues are up

Tulsa Beacon

State revenues are up, thanks to the expansion of exploration and production in Oklahoma’s energy industry. State tax revenues in August grew by almost 20 percent over the year, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel said. Total monthly receipts of $1.17 billion are higher than August of last year by $191.2 million, or 19.5 percent. Collections from…

Editorial: Unconstitutional vaccine mandate

Tulsa Beacon

President Joe Biden is dead set on making every American take the experimental vaccines for the Chinese coronavirus. Using unconstitutional mandates, Biden is trying to put pressure on federal employees, large companies and health care providers to either force their workers to get vaccinated or pay a terrible price. His plan would involve the coerced…

Editorial: Refugees and a measles outbreak

Tulsa Beacon

Flights to the United States with Afghan refugees recently were grounded for at least a week at the request of the Centers for Disease Control because of an outbreak of measles in previous arrivals to the United States. The refugees were admitted by the Biden Administration without the normal medical screening that accompanies refugees from…

Editorial: Supreme Court OKs Texas law

Tulsa Beacon

God bless the State of Texas! A Texas law against abortions will stand thanks to a vote by the United States Supreme Court. (This is another reason why elections matter – Trump judges voted to uphold the Texas law). President Joe Biden, a Catholic who is pro-abortion, said the Court’s decision will cause “unconstitutional chaos.”…

Editorial: Biden protects the wrong border

Tulsa Beacon

The Biden Administration is working feverishly and spending tens of millions of dollars to secure a national border. But that border is between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, not the southern border of the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe has started a project to construct new facilities for a Border Service detachment along the Tajik-Afghan-Uzbek…

Editorial: Backward steps in Afghanistan

Tulsa Beacon

The woke social experiment in Afghanistan has failed just days after President Joe Biden surrendered and carelessly withdrew our military. Liberal State Department officials and American progressives wanted to make the Muslim culture bend to the Marxist principles being pushed by Biden, Nancy Pelosi, most Democrat congressmen and some Republicans. A Taliban spokesman assured Western…

Editorial: Afghanistan mess responsibility

Tulsa Beacon

Who decided the details of our pullout of Afghanistan? President Joe Biden doesn’t look capable of making such a decision. And he certainly could not have drawn up an exit plan. Was this plan created by our military leaders? If so, they are so inept that they should be replaced. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was…

Editorial: Keeping capital punishment

Tulsa Beacon

The Oklahoma Catholic bishops issued a statement in protest of the decision by Oklahoma Attorney General John M. O’Conner to set execution dates for six convicted murderers on Death Row. The Most Rev. Paul S. Coakley, Archbishop of Oklahoma City,  and the Most Rev. David A. Konderla, Bishop of Tulsa, wrote: “We are disappointed and…
