Editorial: BLM is not about civil rights

Tulsa Beacon

Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights group. It is a Marxist, communist and socialist organization posing as a force to make useful change. A major goal is to end capitalism and enact wealth redistribution. Certainly, black lives matter. All lives matter. That is one of the things that makes America unique – holding…

Editorial: Plan B for Democrat nominee?

Tulsa Beacon

Does the Democrat National Committee have a plan B for its nominee for president? Probably. If not, they should. It’s evident that presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden is medically unfit to perform as president of the United States. Even though he is being mostly shielded from the public as he hides in the basement of…

Editorial: Little choice in the mayoral race

Tulsa Beacon

Conservative Christians don’t seem to have a great choice on the ballot for Mayor August 25. That is not to challenge the validity of anyone’s faith but finding a conservative Christian in government is a rare treat in Tulsa these days. Party registration is not reliable. Governments is full of liberal Democrats who have reregistered…

Editorial: Little hope in the council races

Tulsa Beacon

The Tulsa City Council is filled with liberals who lack any courage to stand up to the powerful business interests that dictate their policy decisions. The August 25 election won’t change that.

Editorial: No to all five city propositions

Tulsa Beacon

No, no, no, no and no. Tulsans will also vote on five propositions on August 25 that deal with political correctness; nonpartisan elections; control of authorities, boards and commissions; and the function of the city attorney. Proposition No. 1 deletes any references to partisan elections because Tulsa’s municipal elections are “nonpartisan.” Proposition No. 2 erases…

Editorial: No luck on finding mass graves

Tulsa Beacon

After spending a small fortune for a lot of workers to stand around and do little, the initial search for a mass grave connected to the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot came up empty. They uncovered no evidence of human remains. “At this point, we believe we have fully investigated this anomaly, and unfortunately we have…

Editorial: It’s time to stop the crime wave

Tulsa Beacon

Crime is rampant in some major U.S. cities as Democrat mayors and governors cut police funding and shackle law enforcement. In Atlanta, during a two-week period, there were 17 murders – a 240% jump from the five committed last year. Atlanta already has 61 homicides this year. There were 66 shootings with 106 victims in…
