Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley and his administration and Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy and his administrators desperately want to have a fall season.

Editorial: Biden: Raise middle class taxes

Tulsa Beacon

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee for president, said “it’s time for Corporate America to pay their ‘fair share’ of taxes.” That policy caused Sen. Bernie Sanders, a devout socialist, to say it would “make Biden the most progressive president since FDR.” Biden wants to reverse all of President Trump’s tax cuts….

Editorial: Anti-Christian bias from CNN

Tulsa Beacon

Why would any God-fearing Christian pay attention to CNN – especially Don Lemon? Besides being an ultra-liberal socialist, Lemon wants to tear down the reputations of the Founding Fathers of the United States. And he attacked Jesus Christ as being “fallible.” On July 6, Lemon said that American history is “propaganda” and needs to be…

Editorial: Recall petition for Norman mayor

Tulsa Beacon

Conservatives in Norman, Oklahoma, are fed up with their liberal mayor and the progressive city councilors. The Council and Mayor voted to cut $865,000 from the already tight Norman Police budget. As a result, concerned citizens have filed a recall petition. Already in July, petitioners have more than 10,000 of the 22,000 signatures required for…

Editorial: Great economic news in June

In an ongoing effort to damage the U.S. economy and President Trump’s re-election bid, the liberal news media is downplaying the June employment report.

Editorial: California forbids church singing

Tulsa Beacon

The U.S. Constitution holds little sway with the state government in California or Gov. Gavin Newsome, an ultra-liberal Democrat. Earlier this month, the California Department of Health issued a “guideline” stating that while churches could still hold services, singing would not be allowed. What? That’s correct. Churches in California must “discontinue singing and chanting activities”…

Editorial: Crime on the rise in big cities

Tulsa Beacon

You are risking your life if you live in Chicago. Over the July 4th weekend, 79 people were shot in Chicago. Fifteen died. Seven-year-old Natalie Wallace was killed. It was the third straight weekend that a child has been shot and killed in Chicago. In New York City, during the first week of July, shootings…

Editorial: The coronavirus in Oklahoma

Tulsa Beacon

Here are some realities of dealing with the coronavirus in Oklahoma: It is most dangerous to people over 50 and especially deadly to those over 75. Children seem to be the least affected. When testing goes up, confirmed cases go up but deaths and hospitalizations don’t rise proportionately. Gatherings at funerals and weddings in particular…

Editorial: Joe Biden – a terrible Democrat

Tulsa Beacon

Until 2020, Hillary Clinton was absolutely the worst presidential candidate ever nominated by the Democrat Party. Now that honor goes to Joe Biden. While griping about a “lack of leadership,” Biden’s personal response to the coronavirus is to hide in his basement. This is a parallel to former President Jimmy Carter who hid in the…
