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…

Letter: Are we in the last of the last days?

Tulsa Beacon

Most church people will tell you we are living in the last of the last days. Therefore it’s normal to wonder what the future holds. In the 24th chapter of Matthew, Jesus said the last days would be shortened to keep the Elect from being deceived . However , Jesus didn ‘t say how those…

Editorial: SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade

Tulsa Beacon

Some people – including pro-lifers – thought this could never happen. And it still might not. But the U.S. Supreme Court, using key votes by justices appointed by former President Donald Trump, may overturn Roe v. Wade, the unconstitutional decision in 1973 that struck down state laws banning abortion. Now maybe states – including Oklahoma…

Editorial: True democracy in school votes

Tulsa Beacon

There are efforts underway in the Legislature to make school board elections more democratic. Democrats who are constantly harping “preserving our democracy” are the one who are threatening democracy in their stubborn support of the timing of school board elections. (By the way, America is a republic, not a “democracy.”) Most public school districts schedule…
