Tulsa Beacon

Minority populations in America are being infected disproportionately by the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Editorial: China lied about the numbers

Tulsa Beacon

The Chinese communist government has been lying. That should be no surprise to Americans with common sense but it may be a shock to the liberal news media and would-be socialists in America.

Editorial: Sanders’ out; Biden’s problems

Tulsa Beacon

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders announced that he was dropping out of the race for the Democrat nomination for president.
