Tulsa Beacon

Commonsense has prevailed and the Wanenmacher Tulsa Arms Show will be open April 10-11 in the Expo Square. It is the largest gun show of its kind and a boon to Tulsa. Last year, the show was canceled as America and Oklahoma tried to figure out how to stop or slow down the Chinese coronavirus…

Editorial: More danger from marijuana

One Democrat in the House voted against it. “This bill has bipartisan support across the…

Tulsa Beacon

People are out to destroy Kansas football coach Les Miles. Last week, Kansas placed Miles on administrative leave while it investigates charges of inappropriate conduct while he was coach at LSU in 2013. Then he quit. An LSU report based on 2013 accused Miles of “inappropriate behavior” toward female students. They claim he contacted some…
