Letter: The cure for Oklahoma education

February 7, 2019 Byron Schlomach

Governor Kevin Stitt has made it his goal to move Oklahoma toward Top 10 status among the states. Exactly how he would measure this is unclear, but education is obviously targeted, given its prominence in his inaugural speech. This much is clear, though; Oklahoma will not become a top-ten state in education just by spending…

Letter: No trick is too low for these Democrats

January 31, 2019 Jim Solomon

The most vicious weapon the Democrats have to attack their opponents is character assassination. Pelosi said, as recorded by C-span, that internally they call it a “wrap up smear.” They compose a huge lie about a rival, enlist the mainstream media to tell the same lie and they both tell it over and over. Eventually…

Letter: Wrongheaded policies

January 31, 2019 Duane Collins

The Democrat Party is going overboard in their search for a strong woman to be our next commander-in-chief. But that search for strong women is not just confined to the political arena. It’s extended to every position of authority in our society — particularly those positions which were once thought to be only available to…

Letter: The leading cause of death in the United States is abortion

January 17, 2019 Duane Collins

In December on Fox News, Bret Baier did a short segment on “The Changing Demographics and The Declining Birth Rate in the United States.” There were 3.9 million new births in the United States last year – the lowest number since 1987. The federal government’s Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports the current birth rate…

Letter: Only prayer can change Pelosi

January 17, 2019 Manuel Ybarra, Jr.

Only intervention from God can stop the moral decline of America. The hoopla about the historical significance of the election of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House will pass, but there will be consequences, unless there is a change of heart. Nancy Pelosi, “America’s most powerful woman” is accountable to God, like everybody else. …

Letter: Mitt Romney is double-minded

January 17, 2019 Duane Collins

Mitt Romney was sworn into the Senate in January . . . but before he could even be seated . . . he began his attacks on President Trump. Romney wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post saying, “Trump has not risen to the mantle of the presidency.” Then, in an interview with CNN, Romney…

Letter: Prayer and fasting for America

January 10, 2019 The Rev. George Campbell, Jr.

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV Version) This verse is an If/Then contract. If the conditions that…

Letter: Americans want to build a wall

January 10, 2019 Duane Collins

The Associated Press announced that the U.S. State Department has pledged $10.6 billion in aid for Central America and southern Mexico. This announcement came at about the same time President Trump was hearing that Congress was not going to provide the $5 billion he requested for the Border Wall. Donald Trump was elected president because…

Letter: America needs to ‘build a wall’

January 3, 2019 Duane Collins

Pope Francis says, “Don’t build the wall – build a bridge.” Nancy Pelosi says, “Building a wall is immoral.” And yet both of these individuals live on property that is fully secured and protected from intrusion. Intrusion is defined as: “the act of wrongfully entering upon, seizing, or taking possession of the property of another.”…

Letter: Abortion and sex changes linked

January 3, 2019 Michael Rachiele

Not many people comprehend the destruction that abortion has caused our nation. We tend to forget that it involves the killing of innocent children and have reduced it to an ideology, no thanks to the efforts of liberal activists. Why are there so many people on anti-depressants and abusing other drugs today? Kevin Burke, a…
