Editorial: Paul Hassink for District 79

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma House District 79 is a mostly conservative district in South Tulsa that is represented by perhaps the most liberal lawmaker in Oklahoma, Rep. Melissa Provenzano. That needs to change. And she needs to be replaced by a genuine conservative – not a Democrat who filed as a Republican to win a seat. The best…

Editorial: Democrats want to kill babies

Tulsa Beacon

It’s official. Democrats in Congress want to legalize abortion up unto to point of birth. Their bill last month would have taken America closer to codifying infanticide than ever before. Forty-nine Democrats voted for the “Women’s Health Protection Act” – which have been named the “Death to unborn babies bill – this month and thank…

Editorial: Vote for Senator Nathan Dahm

Tulsa Beacon

The U.S. Constitution is under assault. Our southern border is being overrun. Civil liberty is being quashed in the name of health care. America is poised to go to war with Russia. Inflation is outpacing economic growth. The national debt is over $30,000,000,000. Gas costs more than $4 a gallon and mothers are running out…

Editorial: Threatening SCOTUS justices

Tulsa Beacon

When the pro-abortion crowd doesn’t get their way, they react violently in trying to intimidate anyone who disagrees with them. When pro-life groups show up, they are orderly and they respect their opposition. When someone illegally leaked a U.S. Supreme Court memo indicating the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade, violent protesters attacked churches, non-profits…

Editorial: New laws to slow down marijuana

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahomans thought they were voting limit access to marijuana when they approved a constitutional amendment – State Question 788 – to legalize medical marijuana. That’s not what happened. Thousands of voters were fooled. The net effect of that cleverly written petition was the de facto legalization of recreational marijuana in the state. Marijuana permits are…

Editorial: Vote for OK AG John O’Connor

Tulsa Beacon

Character matters when it comes to the people we elect to office but it is particularly important in the office of Oklahoma Attorney General. An AG must be an expert on the law, have years of experience dealing with political issues and have the trust of the people. If you don’t think a dishonest attorney…

Editorial: Christians persecuted worldwide

Tulsa Beacon

The mainstream media and progressive politicians don’t like to talk about the persecution of Christians around the world. But it’s there and it’s increasing in scope and intensity, as reported by the U.S.-based Voice of the Martyrs. In India, for example, informants for the Hindu nationalist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are in almost every…

Editorial: More money, less buying power

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma State revenues in April surged to a record high propelled by income tax payments and that points toward a growing upward trend. State Treasurer Randy McDaniel cautioned that this apparent windfall may not last. In April, most categories of state revenues rose except medical marijuana taxes, which generated $62.6 million, down by $2.2 million,…

Letter: Sen. Nathan Dahm is the better choice

Tulsa Beacon

Last year we lost 100,00+ Americans to bad drugs coming across our southern border yet our congress spends peanuts on it and gives the Ukraine $40 billion of our tax dollars to protect their border.  Our country has many needs going begging that are totally ignored by our congress.  Kevin Hern is the only Oklahoman…

Letter: God’s Word could fill a library

Tulsa Beacon

(Editor note: While some translations have minor flaws, the original Hebrew and Greek texts are flawless.) The miracle of the Bible, the written Word of God, is not that it is without flaws which every translator will admit.  Trying to defend it on that basis will always fall short. God, who has always existed, is…
