Letter: Pro-abortion advocates have no shame

Tulsa Beacon

It’s shocking and beyond comprehension how millions of Americans angrily took to the streets moments after the Supreme Court announced their reversal the age-old Roe v. Wade decision. Actually, the pro-choice Democrat Party plank will cost them in the November 8 election because most of their aborted babies that would be of voting age would…

Editorial: Recreational marijuana petition

Tulsa Beacon

The push to make medical marijuana legal in Oklahoma was not about helping people in pain as it was about making recreational marijuana 100% legal. The fact that more than 400,000 Oklahomans have medical marijuana licenses is proof of that. Now, since marijuana advocates were so successful in passing “medical” marijuana, they want to go…

Editorial: More and more dirty politics

Tulsa Beacon

There was a lot of dirty politics and dark money being spent before the June 28 primary election in Tulsa and throughout Oklahoma. Unscrupulous political consultants disguised their origins and sent out lies that in some cases were simply libelous. And when confronted, the actual candidate they supported said he or she had no knowledge…

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…
