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

Tulsa Beacon

Congratulations to the football teams from The University of Tulsa and The University of Oklahoma. 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: 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…

Letter: Stolen election

Tulsa Beacon

There is no question that the Democratic Party and others, did everything they could to steal the 2020 Presidential Election.  And that it was obviously pre-planned for years. A large group of individuals  and organizations worked hard, and put out large amounts of money to carry out such a disgraceful and un-American travesty against one…

Editorial: Higher taxes are coming in 2021

Tulsa Beacon

If Joe Biden becomes the president, taxes will go through the roof. Personal income taxes will rise. Investments in the Stock Market – including retirement 401Ks – will drop because of higher taxes on corporations. The price of gasoline will skyrocket. Biden wants Janet Yellen as his Secretary of the Treasury. That’s a huge mistake…

Editorial: The coronavirus ravages Europe

Tulsa Beacon

Europe is suffering under the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. France instituted its second lockdown in November. People could go to work, buy essential goods, go to the doctor and exercise (for one hour a day). Anyone who ventured out of doors had to carry a written statement as the to justification of leaving their home. Non-essential…
