Letter: Only the American people can vote

Tulsa Beacon

On Saturday, November 7th, the news media anointed Joe Biden to be the 46th President of the United States, and social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) all dutifully followed suit.  Fortunately, the President is not chosen by the media, the Swamp, nor the Deep State.  Thanks to the U.S. Constitution, that precious “right” still belongs solely…

Letter: The media does not get to vote

Tulsa Beacon

Joe Biden has been declared POTUS by mainstream media, but not by voters.  The media and Democratic Party are aligned with the devil so it’s fitting they lie, cheat and steal, for they prefer darkness to light, just like Satan does! Trump had been warning us for months about voter fraud and how prophetic does…

Editorial: Oklahoma drivers’ license fiasco

Tulsa Beacon

Decades ago, Oklahomans all had to get their car tags renewed in the same month. It was a disaster, with long lines around the block and angry patrons who waited hours for a simple payment that should take about five minutes. That got fixed. Now the Department of Public Safety is dealing with a bigger…

Barrett is the third woman to be named to the court. That…

Letter: The people have the power

Tulsa Beacon

Twitter, Facebook, and Twitter only have power because ordinary people give them power. Stop using these platforms. Use PARLER instead of Twitter. Try DUCKDUCKGO instead of Google. Look for alternatives to Facebook. No customers: no power. You are the commodity being sold by these tech giants. Take their access to you away and their customers…

Editorial: Distance learning causes problems

Tulsa Beacon

Distance learning is not as effective as instruction in the classroom, especially for elementary students. Many public schools, including Tulsa Public Schools, have instituted distance learning rather than have students show up at school buildings. This has posed many problems. Students are not as accountable when they are someplace else. Low-income students don’t get the…

Editorial: Conservatism and universities

Tulsa Beacon

What would it be like if a conservative were president of a state college or university in Oklahoma? Burns Hargis is retiring as president of Oklahoma State University at the end of the spring semester. Hargis, a Republican, had some significant accomplishments at OSU, particularly with fundraising and new buildings. Hargis is kind of conservative…

Letter: Mayor Bynum doesn’t control the hospitals

Tulsa Beacon

(To Mayor G.T. Bynum) On October 19, you voiced your concern about the possibility of Covid-19 patients overcrowding Tulsa hospitals.  You said you were giving some thought to “action that you could take” to make sure Tulsans were taken care of. Mr. Mayor, I don’t believe you have the authority to tell Tulsa hospitals who…
