Editorial: Power plays in college sports

Tulsa Beacon

Depending on your perspective, the landscape of college sports got brighter or darker with the announcement that USC and UCLA are departing the Pac-12 Conference to join the Big Ten Conference. This follows on the heels of last year’s announcement that Oklahoma and Texas were leaving the Big 12 Conference to join the mighty Southeastern…

Editorial: January 6th versus June 24th

Tulsa Beacon

Democrats and other liberals condemned the peaceful protest on Jan. 6, 2022 (only one person was killed and that was an unarmed woman shot by an officer) and they screamed that “our democracy is at stake.” It wasn’t. In fact, it wasn’t an insurrection. Despite all the kangaroo court hearings in the House and the…

Editorial: Wind power is not the answer

Tulsa Beacon

Joe Biden embraces high gasoline prices because he wants to force Americans to rely on renewal sources, like wind power. The U.S. Dept. of the Interior is racing along to build two first-ever wind power grids near the coastal cities of Humboldt and Morro Bay in California. Will this work? Solar and wind farms need…

Editorial: Disease and homosexual problem

Tulsa Beacon

Bad decisions have consequences. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and  the Florida Department of Health are dealing with one of the worst outbreaks of meningococcal disease among homosexual and bisexual men in U.S. history. More than 24 cases and 7 deaths among homosexual and bisexual men have been reported this summer. This…

Letter: Buzz Lightyear is just like Joe Camel

Tulsa Beacon

You remember Joe Camel. That anthropomorphic camel featured in Camel cigarette ads in the 80’s. The self-described “smooth character” was featured in fun and fresh situations in various ad pieces that were criticized for targeting children. RJR voluntarily drop the ads under pressure from Congress and public interest groups. I can’t help but see similarities…

Letter: Crony capitalism

Tulsa Beacon

So, it looks like the crony capitalists over at Epic Charter Schools might be going down.  But not all of them.  They nabbed a couple of mob bosses.  So what.  What about their henchmen and apparatchiks in the administration – even today?  Even if they were not directly involved, they all knew what was going…

Letter: The wrong flags

Tulsa Beacon

News releases on things that matter: Arizona State University pulls down the American flags and replaces them with Juneteenth and “Pride” flags. The ASU downtown Tempe campus replaced the American flags lining the street with Junteenth and “Pride” flags, alternating colorful flags and a flag with a large star. At the start of June following…

Editorial: Overturning Wade is the 1st step

Tulsa Beacon

The overturning of the hideous Roe v. Wade decision was an answer to countless prayer and a clear demonstration of the hand of God. There is no other explanation. For almost 50 years, Americans murdered 65 million unborn babies in their mothers’ wombs. That should be the safest place on earth but it hasn’t been….

Editorial: Inflation continues to go higher

Tulsa Beacon

It will continue to cost more to live in the United States. Inflation is on the rise and could easily to 9% this summer. In a belated attempt to slow inflation, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 base points earlier this month. That’s the largest hike since 1994. It’s the third rate in…

Editorial: Joe Biden’s homosexual agenda

Tulsa Beacon

President Joe Biden is full steam ahead in his campaign to turn America into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. In a move that is clearly unconstitutional, Biden is attacking state laws that try to stymie the advancement of the Homosexual Agenda. Biden wants to outlaw “conversion therapy.” That’s is giving counsel to someone who…
