Opinion

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…

Editorial: Oklahoma needs Senator Inhofe

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma voters would make a tragic mistake if they don’t re-elect U.S. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, on November 3. The Republicans have a narrow margin of control in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to Inhofe and other Republicans, President Donald Trump has overcome the obstructionism of House Speaker Nancy (I need to get my hair dyed now)…

Letter: The American people had better wake up

Tulsa Beacon

Common sense and reasonable thinking seems to be disappearing in today’s world.  Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) will not allow students to return to the school house; instead, they are required to do distant-learning through the Internet.  Meanwhile, the Mayor of Tulsa, who supports the TPS policy, has implemented a “new” plan of his own, whereby…

Letter: Christians must speak

Tulsa Beacon

The summer before the election, the Civil War was going badly for the Union. Lincoln was convinced he was going to lose the election. He wrote in a memorandum August 23, 1864, asking his Cabinet to accept the grim prospects for his re-election, thinking all was lost and he would lose. Clearly the Union was…
