Editorial: Kamala Harris and Chi-Coms

Tulsa Beacon

What does U.S Sen. Kamala Harris have in common with the leaders of Communist China? A lot, but specifically, Harris, the ultra-liberal Democrat from California who is running for president, doesn’t believe in freedom of speech even though it is imbedded in the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. During the October 15 Democrat…

Editorial: The right decision on pay raises

Tulsa Beacon

The Legislative Compensation Board has voted to raise the salary for state representatives and senators to $47,500 a year. This is a proper decision. Lawmakers have no say in these pay decisions. In fact, in 2017 the board arbitrarily cut the pay by 8.8%. Board Chairman Wes Milbourn at that time said the move was…

Editorial: NBA leaders bow to the Chinese

Tulsa Beacon

NBA officials and players got a taste of Chinese communism recently after Chinese officials reacted to a tweet by Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. Morey had the audacity to tweet in support of the protesters in Hong Kong who are battling the oppression of the Chinese communist leaders. Free speech is not allowed in…

Editorial: The horrors of an abortionist

Tulsa Beacon

Dr. Ulrich Klopfer is surely in Hell. Officials have discovered the remains of 2,411 unborn babies in properties owned by Klopfer, an abortionist who died September 3. Two weeks ago, officials found 165 sets of baby remains in a car owned by Klopfer that was parked at a storage unit near Chicago. The bodies of…

Editorial: O’Rouke: use the IRS as weapon

Tulsa Beacon

If a Christian college or a church doesn’t embrace the Homosexual Agenda to the same degree as Beto O’Rouke, he wants that college or congregation to lose their tax-exempt status. This policy should come as no surprise to those who have followed O’Rouke’s failing presidential campaign. O’Rouke wants billions paid to black people for reparations…

Editorial: Make City Hall accountable

Tulsa Beacon

If citizens keep passing tax increases, they lose all chance for reform. That’s what happened when the Oklahoma Legislature voted in a teacher pay hike in 2018. Teachers rightly got more money but out-of-control administrators were not constrained one bit by new legislation. That’s exactly what will happen if Tulsa voters approve a new $639,000,000.00…

Editorial: Give women and babies a choice

Tulsa Beacon

An unexpected pregnancy can be an emotional rollercoaster for some women. In a vulnerable moment, pregnant women can be coerced into going to an abortion clinic to destroy their unborn child. Boyfriends, parents, employers and even husbands force them to make a decision that will take a life and damage their life forever. More and…

Editorial: Democrat’s smear campaign

Tulsa Beacon

President Trump has done nothing to justify impeachment. He is guilty of no “high crimes or misdemeanors.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has succumbed to the Trump haters and opened an “impeachment inquiry.” Her purpose of launching an “inquiry” rather than an impeachment is twofold. First, Pelosi is trying to protect Democrats in the House from…

Editorial: Going topless in Tulsa?

Tulsa Beacon

Unelected judges are legislating from the bench and dropping the moral standards in America. The latest nonsensical action was for the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver that ruled that overturned a Fort Collins law that prohibited women age 10 and older from the public exposure of breasts. A judge ruled the law was…

Editorial: Government action and fat kids

Tulsa Beacon

The Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) Board of Directors is battling obesity in Oklahoma. What? TSET has hundreds of millions of dollars collected from tobacco companies in a settlement with the State of Oklahoma. That over-funded trust is supposed to discourage tobacco use and help victims with medical treatment. But the board passed a resolution…
