Editorial: The right decision on pay raises

Tulsa Beacon

The Legislative Compensation Board has voted to raise the salary for state representatives and senators to $47,500 a year. This is a proper decision. Lawmakers have no say in these pay decisions. In fact, in 2017 the board arbitrarily cut the pay by 8.8%. Board Chairman Wes Milbourn at that time said the move was…

Letter: SCOTUS should not grant special rights to homosexuals

Tulsa Beacon

There was a time in America when employers hired people strictly on the basis of who they thought could best do the job.  Of course, there were some who deviated from that plan, and hired friends and relatives who were not always the best people for that job.  That’s to be expected in any human…

Letter: America: a nation without God

Tulsa Beacon

A big portion of America lost its way without God.  Evidence of this is everywhere!    From the halls of Congress, where defaming the president, and those who come before them, is a regular thing, to wicked judges who trash God and our Constitution, and many television news companies that daily attack and defame a Constitutionally-elected…

Letter: Leftist fiasco is ruining California

Tulsa Beacon

Fifty-three percent of Californians, per a survey report in February, were considering leaving, which was up from 49% a year earlier, per a CNBC news article, so who could even imagine what the percentage might now be, with their ever growing number of homeless people, and the increased tax burden the problem is going to…

Editorial: NBA leaders bow to the Chinese

Tulsa Beacon

NBA officials and players got a taste of Chinese communism recently after Chinese officials reacted to a tweet by Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. Morey had the audacity to tweet in support of the protesters in Hong Kong who are battling the oppression of the Chinese communist leaders. Free speech is not allowed in…

Editorial: The horrors of an abortionist

Tulsa Beacon

Dr. Ulrich Klopfer is surely in Hell. Officials have discovered the remains of 2,411 unborn babies in properties owned by Klopfer, an abortionist who died September 3. Two weeks ago, officials found 165 sets of baby remains in a car owned by Klopfer that was parked at a storage unit near Chicago. The bodies of…

Editorial: O’Rouke: use the IRS as weapon

Tulsa Beacon

If a Christian college or a church doesn’t embrace the Homosexual Agenda to the same degree as Beto O’Rouke, he wants that college or congregation to lose their tax-exempt status. This policy should come as no surprise to those who have followed O’Rouke’s failing presidential campaign. O’Rouke wants billions paid to black people for reparations…

Editorial: Make City Hall accountable

Tulsa Beacon

If citizens keep passing tax increases, they lose all chance for reform. That’s what happened when the Oklahoma Legislature voted in a teacher pay hike in 2018. Teachers rightly got more money but out-of-control administrators were not constrained one bit by new legislation. That’s exactly what will happen if Tulsa voters approve a new $639,000,000.00…

Editorial: Give women and babies a choice

Tulsa Beacon

An unexpected pregnancy can be an emotional rollercoaster for some women. In a vulnerable moment, pregnant women can be coerced into going to an abortion clinic to destroy their unborn child. Boyfriends, parents, employers and even husbands force them to make a decision that will take a life and damage their life forever. More and…

Editorial: Democrat’s smear campaign

Tulsa Beacon

President Trump has done nothing to justify impeachment. He is guilty of no “high crimes or misdemeanors.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has succumbed to the Trump haters and opened an “impeachment inquiry.” Her purpose of launching an “inquiry” rather than an impeachment is twofold. First, Pelosi is trying to protect Democrats in the House from…
