Editorial: City of Tulsa budgetary crunch

Tulsa Beacon

Here’s a  rock and a hard place” situation for the City of Tulsa. The two weeks of below-freezing temperatures in February wrecked havoc with the city’s infrastructure, particularly waterlines and potholes in city streets. Add to that the overtime caused by the storms and the need to replace aging snow equipment and supplies of salt…

Editorial: Biden and the Middle East

Tulsa Beacon

Elections have consequences. President Joe Biden is reopening negotiations with Iran concerning its nuclear weapons program. This is bad for the Middle East and bad for America. “The Biden Administration’s decision to reopen nuclear talks with Iran while turning our back on traditional American allies in the Middle East like Israel and Saudi Arabia is…

Editorial: Biden bypasses Congress again

Tulsa Beacon

According to the U.S. Constitution, the Senate ratifies treaties with foreign governments. President Joe Biden doesn’t believe in the constraints of the Constitution, even though he swore to uphold it when he took office. Barack Obama holds the same view. Using the false premise of man-made global warming, Biden – without the consent of the…

Letter: Democrats recreate Biblical history

Tulsa Beacon

The morning after the Senate Impeachment Trial, my wife was led to this Scripture: “1-2 Justice?  You high and mighty politicians don’t even know the meaning of the word!  Fairness?  Which of you has any left? Not one!  All your dealings are crooked: you give “justice” in exchange for bribes.  3 These men are born sinners, lying…

Letter: Why is America being cursed?

Tulsa Beacon

God is looking down on Earth with an agape love, the God love. He is so moved with love for his created man and how He longs for man to come to this love He offers. Jesus, His only Son, come to reflect this God love to man – so much so that He gave…

Letter: Amazon bans factual book for ‘woke’ reasons

Tulsa Beacon

Today, I learned of Amazon’s decision to remove Ryan T. Anderson’s book When Harry Became Sally – Responding to the Transgender Moment from its marketplace.  Having read Anderson’s book, I found it to be an extremely well-researched analysis of the transgender issue. While the book covered many elements of the transgender movement and how our…

Letter: The GOP must change to win

Tulsa Beacon

A sure win for the Democrats in 2024 is our continued harangue regarding a stolen election. At least it was a nip-and-tuck election as the Georgia runoff election proved to be with our 8,000 workers just last month. Certainly, vote fraud might have determined the winner in a close election and it probably was a…

Editorial: Tulsa’s unsung heroes perform

Tulsa Beacon

There are unsung heroes among us. When a record-setting winter storm struck Tulsa, city workers were not only prepared to plow the snow, spread sand and rescue trapped motorists, they braved sub-zero temperatures to restore water breaks. City workers and nonprofit workers actively searched the streets of Tulsa to find homeless people and deliver them…

Editorial: So much for wind, solar power

Tulsa Beacon

The mid-February winter storm is a shining example of the folly of relying on wind and solar energy and getting rid of oil and natural gas. The sub-zero temperatures and ice and snow in Oklahoma and Texas caused an unexpected surge in electricity demand and resulted in rolling power blackouts. Guess what happens to wind…

Editorial: Dumping on the Crusades?

Tulsa Beacon

Valparaiso University is dropping its team name Crusaders because the term has been “embraced by ‘hate groups.’” What? Because the Ku Klux Klan uses the word “crusader,” the university’s faculty and student senate passed resolutions calling for a change of that team name and the symbolism of a mascot with a helmet and fake armor….
