Editorial: Don’t borrow $414,000,000.00

Tulsa Beacon

Tulsa Public Schools wants Tulsa property owners to approve $414,000,000.00 in new taxes for a bond issue on June 8. This is an enormous amount of money – coming close to half billion dollars. When the Legislature decided that schools could borrow money through bonds, the idea was to use those funds for long-term projects,…

Editorial: More disinformation on firearms

Tulsa Beacon

Joe Biden said you don’t need a background check to buy a gun at a gun show.  He is either lying, ignorant or he simply forgot the facts. You cannot buy a firearm in the United States from a licensed gun dealer without a federal background check. If you answer any of the questions incorrectly,…

Letter: Tell Rep. Tom Cole to withdraw support for HR1814

Tulsa Beacon

Even though I do not live within the Fourth Congressional District of Oklahoma, I have received fund raising literature from several of Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation.  A few  weeks ago, I received such a request from Representative Tom Cole. One of the headlines contained in Rep. Cole’s support request states, “Urgent Reply to Rep. Tom Cole,…

Letter: Thanks for picking up trash

Tulsa Beacon

I have been very distraught about the trash in our city, and especially in the park across from our house. My husband and I try to keep it picked up, but every day there is more. We had noticed the last few days that someone was picking it up. We had no idea who it…

Letter: We must stand with Israel

Tulsa Beacon

The Jewish people are God’s chosen people – and God will rule and reign from Jerusalem when He returns. It is not for us to ponder why God made that choice.  God is God, and there is no other.  God created the universe and every living thing therein – God is in control of all…

Editorial: Joe Biden promotes sex changes

Tulsa Beacon

President Joe Biden thinks it’s possible for people to change their sex and he has issued the first presidential proclamation recognizing “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Biden wants to celebrate men who take hormones and get surgery to look like women and women who want to become men. Biden and his fellow Democrats (and some Republicans)…

Editorial: California worships Aztec gods

Tulsa Beacon

Secularists for at least six decades have been trying to erase all evidence of Biblical Christianity from public education under the false principle of “separation of church and state.” This prohibition doesn’t seem to apply to any other religion. In California (where else?), the state is urging teachers to lead chants to Aztec gods of…

Editorial: Ignore Major League Baseball

Tulsa Beacon

Major League Baseball has decided to punish the State of Georgia because of new laws they put in place to make sure that only legal voters can vote. MLB will not hold its All Star Game in Georgia and will relocate the draft, which was supposed to be in Georgia. The powers behind MLB apparently…

Letter: Biden wants end of energy independence

Tulsa Beacon

Since the November 2020 election, gas prices have spiked up 77 cents with the highest price in the San Francisco Bay area at $3.94 per gallon and diesel fuel pushing $4 per gallon in Tulsa. I can remember way back when we paid 11 cents a gallon for diesel  and the in the gas wars…

Letter: Biden wants global tax

Tulsa Beacon

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is now proposing that all nations get together and implement a Global Tax on all multinational corporations.  Yellen says, “This will create a more level playing field and will spur innovation, growth and prosperity.” Note: Government taxes do not create prosperity – they do just the opposite – they take…
