Editorial: Homosexual ‘hate crime’ law

Tulsa Beacon

Mayor G.T. Bynum and all nine city councilors think that practicing homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle. Some of the councilors go to church but apparently they don’t read the Bible or they just pick and choose the parts they like. Several of the councilors marched in the “gay pride parade” and most showed up when…

Editorial: Don’t retain Judge Jane Wiseman

Tulsa Beacon

Judge Jane Wiseman, who is on the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals, will be on the November 3 ballot for a retention vote. In Oklahoma, voters can retain or dismiss judges on the Oklahoma Supreme Court of Criminal Appeals and the Court of Civil Appeals. Those are the three appellate courts in the state. (District…

Editorial: Vote no on SQ805, yes on SQ814

Tulsa Beacon

On November 3, Oklahomans need to vote no on State Question 805 and yes on State Question 814. State Question No. 805, if passed would prevent a judge from using a person’s past non-violent felony convictions to hand down a stiffer sentence. It would open doors for prisoners who think their sentences were too harsh…

Editorial: A clear choice in District 79

Tulsa Beacon

State Rep. Melissa Provenzano, D-Tulsa, is a certified liberal. In the annual report on the Conservative Index by the Oklahoma Constitution newspaper, Provenzano got one conservative vote right and nine conservative votes wrong. She voted correctly on Senate Bill 1714 which would allow home-based bakeries to continue working without forcing them to rent or buy…

Editorial: Environmentalism and wildfires

Tulsa Beacon

Thoughts and prayers go out to the people of California, Oregon and Washington who have been ravaged by a heat wave and subsequent forest fires. Dozens of lives have been lost and a multitude of homes and businesses burned to the ground. The loss of wildlife is incalculable. Thanks to the brave firefighters who are…

Editorial: Democrats encourage the rioting

Tulsa Beacon

Some prominent Democrats, still stinging from Hillary Clinton’s loss to President Donald Trump in 2016, are already planning to contest the 2020 presidential outcome. Unless, of course, if Democrat Joe Biden wins. Clinton got more of the popular vote in 2020 but our system relies on the Electoral College, which Trump won decisively. The Atlantic,…

Letter: Chaos in American cities does not really benefit those rioting

Tulsa Beacon

What are the chaotic blue cities thinking as the odd social experiment has justifiably failed. Why attempt to dismantle the historical monuments when hiding from history in no way solves anything? Remember in the 60’s when Dr. King taught America to reach for harmony through peace here when cowardly futile racism was finally ended as…

Letter: Don’t be fooled by all these liars

Tulsa Beacon

The world today is full of liars.  People have become so self-centered and so prideful of themselves, they will say or do whatever it takes to get ahead.  If that means going on TV or social media and telling boldfaced lies, or writing a tell-all book, they will do it. What is wrong with these…

Editorial: Assaults on Tulsa police officers

Tulsa Beacon

The lack of respect for law enforcement from groups like antifa and Black Lives Matter is having a negative impact on the culture all over America. Tulsa saw some of that when President Trump held a rally here earlier this year. Police in New York City, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Austin, Dallas, Kansas…

Editorial: Unemployment dips under 8.5%

Tulsa Beacon

Why is it that good news for America is bad news for Democrat Joe Biden? For the fourth consecutive month, the American economy has added a large number of jobs in one of the greatest periods of job growth in history. The 1.4 million jobs added in August are 2.5 times the number of jobs…
