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…

Editorial: Biden’s illegal censorship board

Tulsa Beacon

Be careful – if you say or write something that the government doesn’t like, the Disinformation Governance Board, which is a part of the Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency can shut you down and even put you in jail. What? The Biden Administration wants to curtain free speech in…

Letter: $1 million for digging more graves?

Tulsa Beacon

(Concerning Mayor G.T. Bynum’s $1 million for grave excavation..) I could see this money being spent if black newspapers at the time of the race riot claimed thousands had died. In reality, we are hard pressed to prove 40 individuals died during the riots. The lie of 3,000 deaths has not a shred of reliable…

Letter: Constitutional anarchy surges 

Tulsa Beacon

The nightly TV news provides ongoing and certain evidence of our inability to live as a free and responsible people. We are confronted with story after story of lawless or reckless behavior with nary a solution ever proposed that has a reasonable chance of successful implementation. The government, conscious that some still believe it plays…

Letter: Constitution is under assault

Tulsa Beacon

Over the past century, it has been liberal fallacy of viewing our Constitution as a “living/breathing document” which permitted such abominations as abortion and homosexuality to be legalized. If a country’s constitution can simply be rewritten at any time against the desires of the voting public, then there is no point in even having such…
