Letter: Grow food locally in Oklahoma

Tulsa Beacon

One of the great benefits of living in a rural community is our ability to enjoy food grown locally. Families appreciate easy access to high quality nutrition.

Letter: Improve racial relationships

Tulsa Beacon

Police brutality affects people living below the poverty line from all different races and creeds. It was disgusting and tragic what happened to George Floyd as well as all the other people in America who have fallen victim to the militarization of local police departments. But we also must realize that the elites in power…

Editorial: Little choice in the mayoral race

Tulsa Beacon

Conservative Christians don’t seem to have a great choice on the ballot for Mayor August 25. That is not to challenge the validity of anyone’s faith but finding a conservative Christian in government is a rare treat in Tulsa these days. Party registration is not reliable.

Editorial: Little hope in the council races

Tulsa Beacon

The Tulsa City Council is filled with liberals who lack any courage to stand up to the powerful business interests that dictate their policy decisions. The August 25 election won’t change that.

Editorial: No to all five city propositions

Tulsa Beacon

No, no, no, no and no. Tulsans will also vote on five propositions on August 25 that deal with political correctness; nonpartisan elections; control of authorities, boards and commissions; and the function of the city attorney. Proposition No. 1 deletes any references to partisan elections because Tulsa’s municipal elections are “nonpartisan.” Proposition No. 2 erases…

As of July 25, 2020, there were 146,418 deaths in the USA this year due to the China Virus, Covid-19.  During that same period, there were 498,171 deaths in the USA due to abortion. Think about that.  We are willingly and purposely killing our innocent babies at a rate 3 ½ times greater than the…

Letter: Take a look at Donald Trump

Tulsa Beacon

Let’s look at this man for one (expletive) second! A 74-year old man coming back home from work at 2 a.m. while most men his age are retired in their vacation homes. He comes back after a long day that probably started before the sun rose and gets back home exhausted with his tie open…

Editorial: No luck on finding mass graves

Tulsa Beacon

After spending a small fortune for a lot of workers to stand around and do little, the initial search for a mass grave connected to the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot came up empty. They uncovered no evidence of human remains. “At this point, we believe we have fully investigated this anomaly, and unfortunately we have…
