Editorial: Gigantic debt shadows America

Tulsa Beacon

Apart from the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the biggest threat facing Americans in 2021 will be financial and more directly, debt. Congress has approved another bipartisan stimulus package that is nearly a trillion dollars. Laid-off workers will get extended benefits. Small businesses will get forgivable loans through the Paycheck Protection Program. There is rental assistance and…

Editorial: Jesus Christ is the answer for the difficulties we all faced in 2020

Tulsa Beacon

The worship of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has changed during 2020. Due to the Chinese coronavirus, many people have stopped going to church in person. Some watch services online and others Zoom for Sunday School and other Bible studies. Easter was canceled at many Christian churches. Christmas programs have been curtailed. In California…

Editorial: After the dishonest presidential vote, Americans need answers

Tulsa Beacon

America is in trouble. There was strategic interference in the presidential election in favor of the Democrat ticket. There is hard evidence of criminal activity in at least four battleground states. The FBI won’t investigate these crimes. The U.S. Justice Department is unconcerned about this threat to our nation. The attorney general won’t take action….

Editorial: The end to $2 a gallon gasoline?

Tulsa Beacon

What’s the difference in a Democrat administration or a Republican administration? One telltale sign is gasoline prices. In the past four years, gasoline prices under Republican President Donald Trump, gas prices in Tulsa have been around $2 a gallon. That is significant for several reasons. First, it cuts the cost of commuting for most Americans….

Editorial: Congratulations to Tulsa, OU

The Golden Hurricane and the Sooners both made it to the conference championship of their respective conferences.

Editorial: Education thugs bully nominee

Tulsa Beacon

The liberal teacher’s union and their minions can’t abide a conservative Christian who believes parents should decide how their children are educated. This month, Gov. Kevin Stitt dumped Oklahoma Board of Education member Kurt Bollenback and appointed Melissa Crabtree as his replacement. That set off a firestorm of protest. Crabtree is a former public school…

Letter: So-called ‘Fairness’ Act favors immigrants vs. our citizens

Tulsa Beacon

On December 2, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate passed S.386, Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019, by unanimous consent (avoiding a roll call vote). This law would be more accurately called “Screw American High-Skilled Workers Act of 2019.” This bill increased the number of H1-B Visa recipients who can apply for permanent resident status (green…

Letter: Sex trafficking

Tulsa Beacon

My name is Valerie Pfeifer, a Master of Social Work Student at OU-Tulsa, writing you to shed a light on the importance of being educated upon and knowledgeable of human sex trafficking in Tulsa and our state of Oklahoma. This issue is extremely prevalent in our city, as the National Human Trafficking Hotline reported approximately…

Letter: A Biden victory?

Tulsa Beacon

Does it seem reasonable that American citizens would vote in record-breaking numbers for the two candidates (Biden and Harris) who were the least-popular on the campaign trail leading up to the election? Does it seem reasonable that Joe Biden would receive 10.6 million more votes than Barack Obama did in 2008?  And in this age…

Letter: Buy a face shield

Tulsa Beacon

As the CDC has been telling us since last spring, cloth masks work primarily by reducing our risk of infecting others. Since mask mandates tend to get imposed only during surges in the virus, the evidence for face masks is not as strong as we would like but it sure does make sense that cloth…
