Editorial: Gambling with Eternal Destiny

Tulsa Beacon

It’s Puzzling that “Highly Educated” Leaders of Society, such as Government officials and School Administrators are capable of being so Foolish as to “Gamble with their Eternal Destiny”.  These same Individuals would not drive down the street in a Fancy Sports Car which was “Uninsured”, yet they casually dismiss the proof of God that is…

Letter: Progressives overstating their popularity

Tulsa Beacon

Editorial: Medical Marijuana reforms needed

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahomans oppose unfettered access to marijuana, which was made clear by the failure of SQ820. This is an opportunity for the Legislature to reexamine reforms of the medical marijuana industry to ensure the safe, legal free market that Oklahoma voters asked for when they approved State Question 788 in 2018. SQ788 language was vague and…
