Editorial: Don’t carry a gun on a plane

Tulsa Beacon

If you are flying somewhere for Christmas, don’t try to carry on a loaded firearm on a plane. It’s illegal.

She was arrested and charged…

Letter: America and abortion

Tulsa Beacon

America, which once proposed to glorify God, and promote His Word around the world, is now descending to the depths of Hell.  One can see that every single day, including the recent Supreme Court arguments, questions, and answers concerning abortion. Unfortunately, I missed too much of what was said.  But God and His Laws probably…

Editorial: Lowering theatrical standards

Tulsa Beacon

When you talk about the impact of the progressive media, it’s not just newspapers and TV stations. The arts are having a chilling effect on the culture in Tulsa. Here’s an example. Celebrity Attractions, a Tulsa company, is bringing in a package of five Broadway musicals in 2021-22. The highlight would seem to be Oklahoma!…

Editorial: Biden is to blame for inflation

Tulsa Beacon

While American consumers struggle with product shortages and delays, the liberal media instructs shopped to lower expectations and be thankful for inflation. What? Although you can blame last year’s deflation partially on the Chinese coronavirus, the real reasons for the rapid rise of inflation are President Joe Biden’s failing policies. Biden’s unemployment insurance plan kept…

Editorial: Biden worried about the border?

Tulsa Beacon

President Biden said on November 12 that the situation on the border “is of great concern.” He wasn’t taking about the surrender of America’s sovereignty on our southern border but instead about the border between Belarus and Poland. What? “We’ve communicated our concern to Russia, we’ve communicated our concern to Belarus. We think it’s a…

Editorial: Christianity and homosexuality

Tulsa Beacon

Elements within mainstream Christian denominations are embracing homosexuality. That’s news to no one, especially some Presbyterians, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Methodists and others. But does it now include the Southern Baptists? The progressive ethics branch of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is headed by Russell Moore. While the Southern Baptist Convention…

Editorial: Deception about vaccinations

Tulsa Beacon

The death toll for American children from the Chinese coronavirus from birth to age 18 is about 700 nationwide. Only about 200 are under age 4. The death of any child, of course, is a tragedy. But the facts about the effort to vaccinate children age 5 and over are being exaggerated and manipulated. First,…

Editorial: Don’t make women register

Tulsa Beacon

Shame on America if Congress decides to make women register for the draft. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, a true conservative, filed an amendment to prevent the Democrats from making young women register for military draft. Hawley said the proposal is “out of step” with America and he’s absolutely right. Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed,…
