Letter: Walmart goes to China?

Tulsa Beacon

Gordon Chang, a reliable expert on China, reported the following information on January 9: Gordon G. Chang (@GordonGChang) Tweeted: #Walmart, in anticipation of #Biden’s presidency, is cancelling orders it had placed with domestic suppliers and sending them to #Chinese factories. So Walmart flying the #American flag is cynical. It is really loyal to money and…

Letter: So-called ‘Fairness’ Act favors immigrants vs. our citizens

Tulsa Beacon

On December 2, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate passed S.386, Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019, by unanimous consent (avoiding a roll call vote). This law would be more accurately called “Screw American High-Skilled Workers Act of 2019.” This bill increased the number of H1-B Visa recipients who can apply for permanent resident status (green…

Letter: Sex trafficking

My name is Valerie Pfeifer, a Master of Social Work Student at OU-Tulsa, writing you to shed a light on the importance of being educated upon and knowledgeable of human sex trafficking in Tulsa and our state of Oklahoma. This issue is extremely prevalent in our city, as the National Human Trafficking Hotline reported approximately…

Letter: A Biden victory?

Tulsa Beacon

Does it seem reasonable that American citizens would vote in record-breaking numbers for the two candidates (Biden and Harris) who were the least-popular on the campaign trail leading up to the election? Does it seem reasonable that Joe Biden would receive 10.6 million more votes than Barack Obama did in 2008?  And in this age…

Letter: Buy a face shield

Tulsa Beacon

As the CDC has been telling us since last spring, cloth masks work primarily by reducing our risk of infecting others. Since mask mandates tend to get imposed only during surges in the virus, the evidence for face masks is not as strong as we would like but it sure does make sense that cloth…

Letter: Stolen election

Tulsa Beacon

There is no question that the Democratic Party and others, did everything they could to steal the 2020 Presidential Election.  And that it was obviously pre-planned for years. A large group of individuals  and organizations worked hard, and put out large amounts of money to carry out such a disgraceful and un-American travesty against one…

Letter: Our weather is the result of the Sun, not carbon dioxide

Tulsa Beacon

Our weather is the result of the Sun and its activity, the Earth and how they rotate, rotate around each other with the time involved and our immense oceanic system with its extremely complex current system (here we have to add in our Moon). Increases in carbon dioxide has always significantly lagged increases in warming….

Letter: Americans struggling with reality

Tulsa Beacon

Virtual Reality has sucked the American people into a non-existent parallel universe. Things that are not real, things that do not even exist, are now being presented in such a realistic way that we’ve become accustomed to accepting and believing.  For example: When you watch a sporting event on TV, the crowd noise is so…

Letter: Here’s what TSET is undertaking

Tulsa Beacon

This month marks the 20th anniversary of voters’ creation of Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), a grant-making state agency devoted to preventing cancer and cardiovascular disease, Oklahoma’s leading causes of death. Past accomplishments and new initiatives give Oklahomans reason to be proud of TSET. In 1998, 46 states including Oklahoma, reached the Master Settlement…

Letter: Speaker Pro Tem is grateful for the post

Tulsa Beacon

Recently the House Republican Caucus elected me to serve as the next Speaker Pro-Tempore in the House of Representatives. Like the Speaker of the House, the Speaker Pro-Tem is elected by the entire body of the House, so I am Speaker Pro-Tem-elect until the vote is made official by the full House on Organizational Day,…
