Editorial: Environmentalism and wildfires

Tulsa Beacon

Thoughts and prayers go out to the people of California, Oregon and Washington who have been ravaged by a heat wave and subsequent forest fires. Dozens of lives have been lost and a multitude of homes and businesses burned to the ground. The loss of wildlife is incalculable. Thanks to the brave firefighters who are…

Editorial: Democrats encourage the rioting

Tulsa Beacon

Some prominent Democrats, still stinging from Hillary Clinton’s loss to President Donald Trump in 2016, are already planning to contest the 2020 presidential outcome. Unless, of course, if Democrat Joe Biden wins. Clinton got more of the popular vote in 2020 but our system relies on the Electoral College, which Trump won decisively. The Atlantic,…

Editorial: Assaults on Tulsa police officers

Tulsa Beacon

The lack of respect for law enforcement from groups like antifa and Black Lives Matter is having a negative impact on the culture all over America. Tulsa saw some of that when President Trump held a rally here earlier this year. Police in New York City, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Austin, Dallas, Kansas…

Editorial: Unemployment dips under 8.5%

Tulsa Beacon

Why is it that good news for America is bad news for Democrat Joe Biden? For the fourth consecutive month, the American economy has added a large number of jobs in one of the greatest periods of job growth in history. The 1.4 million jobs added in August are 2.5 times the number of jobs…

Editorial: Oklahoma needs Senator Inhofe

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma voters would make a tragic mistake if they don’t re-elect U.S. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, on November 3. The Republicans have a narrow margin of control in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to Inhofe and other Republicans, President Donald Trump has overcome the obstructionism of House Speaker Nancy (I need to get my hair dyed now)…

Editorial: Mandatory ‘diversity training’

Tulsa Beacon

Higher education has been racing toward indoctrination rather than education for decades under the leadership of liberal egomaniacs. The University of Oklahoma wants to guarantee that everyone on campus is lockstep with their progressive idealogy. Instead of encouraging independent thought or the study of America’s traditions and culture, OU is now mandating that all students,…

Editorial: RNC hope vs. DNC criticisms

Tulsa Beacon

The recent national party conventions painted a sharp contrast between the leaders of the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. Democrat nominee Joe Biden led a litany of speakers who harshly criticized the American people for living in a land of social injustice, economic despair and racism. America must be punished for its “sins” according…

Editorial: Who cares what the NBA thinks?

Tulsa Beacon

If LeBron James truly cares about human rights, he would speak out against the communist dictatorship in Red China. But James won’t because he stands to make a fortune in NBA marketing in China. Instead, James and other NBA players, coaches and owners are protesting against police any time a black person runs afoul of…

Editorial: Gun confiscation is the first step

Tulsa Beacon

Here’s an interesting historical fact. Adolph Hitler appointed Hermann Goring as Germany’s Minister of the Interior in 1933. Hitler’s first orders to Goring were to defund and eliminate Germany’s police departments so they would not get in the way of Hitler’s Brown Shirts. The Brown Shirts set about looting, rioting, burning buildings and killing innocent…

Editorial: Fake news and the AP Top 25

Tulsa Beacon

If you want proof of fake news in sports, just take a look at the Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll. The illustrious sports writers who participate in this poll voted for nine college teams who have canceled their fall season and may not play in the spring. What? How can a team compete for…
