Editorial: Biden protects the wrong border

Tulsa Beacon

The Biden Administration is working feverishly and spending tens of millions of dollars to secure a national border. But that border is between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, not the southern border of the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe has started a project to construct new facilities for a Border Service detachment along the Tajik-Afghan-Uzbek…

Editorial: Backward steps in Afghanistan

Tulsa Beacon

The woke social experiment in Afghanistan has failed just days after President Joe Biden surrendered and carelessly withdrew our military. Liberal State Department officials and American progressives wanted to make the Muslim culture bend to the Marxist principles being pushed by Biden, Nancy Pelosi, most Democrat congressmen and some Republicans. A Taliban spokesman assured Western…

Letter: Justifiably not guilty because of insanity

Tulsa Beacon

The amazing success of the Taliban, who without masks or vaccinations, captured American military weapons which had cost our taxpayers close to a trillion dollars (or one thousand million dollars). That could have turned one million of our welfare recipients into millionaires. That would have solved our reparations problem. Not counting our Black Hawk helicopters…

Editorial: Afghanistan mess responsibility

Tulsa Beacon

Who decided the details of our pullout of Afghanistan? President Joe Biden doesn’t look capable of making such a decision. And he certainly could not have drawn up an exit plan.

Tulsa Beacon

Much has been written about the histories, in the last century, of Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union.  We are all aware of the atrocities that took place under these regimes.  We have also heard of similar examples of inhuman behavior in other places, such as Communist China under Mao, and more regional, localized…

Editorial: Voluntary masks, vaccinations

Tulsa Beacon

Wearing a mask to try to prevent infection from the Chinese coronavirus should be voluntary and not mandated. Anyone who wants to voluntarily wear a mask should be able to freely. Any private business – particularly a restaurant – that wants to require that a mask for customers should be legally able to do that….

Editorial: Killing Afghanistan Christians

Tulsa Beacon

Persecution of Christians is ramping up in Afghanistan after the Taliban has toppled the government following Joe Biden’s removal of U.S. forces. According to a story in Breitbart, the Taliban is killing anyone in Afghanistan who has a copy of the Bible on their cellphones. According to SAT-7, a Christian broadcast group, the Taliban is…
