Editorial: America’s challenges in 2020

Tulsa Beacon

As America enters the year 2020, we are sharply divided. The Democrat leaders in the U.S. Congress want to nullify the 2016 presidential election and remove President Trump from office. In Oklahoma, the tribes and the news media want to continue 15 years of massive gambling operations while Gov. Kevin Stitt wants to renegotiate. In…

Editorial: Congrats to OU, OSU and Tulsa

Tulsa Beacon

Congratulations to Coach Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma football team for winning the Big 12 Championship and advancing to the College Football Playoff to play LSU on December 28. It is a credit to the university and an honor for the state to have such an excellent sports program. OU lost to LSU in 2003…

Letter: Dems’ vote was a vote against the people

Tulsa Beacon

The December 18th impeachment vote by the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, was a vote against the 63 million American citizens who elected Donald Trump in 2016.  The Democrat Party and Washington-Insiders (the swamp), all believe they are smarter than you.  You were supposed to elect Hillary Clinton in 2016, so she could continue the…

Letter: Do as Texas Does

Tulsa Beacon

I’m a football fan, especially of college and high; school teams. On the weekend of December 20-21, several Texas high school championships games (for different sized schools) were on TV (Cox, Channel 1027). I always look forward to this extravaganza! Over the years I’ve seen Adrian Peterson, Vince Yong, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murry and many…

Editorial: Why is TPS closing some schools?

Tulsa Beacon

In January, the Tulsa Public School Board will likely vote on a recommendation by Superintendent Deborah Gist to close or merge four schools due to a $20,000,000.00 budget shortfall. Gist wants to close Jones, Wright and Grimes elementaries in 2020 and possibly merge Mark Twain Elementary into the Wayman Tisdale Fine Arts Academy. Another part…

Editorial: Pelosi really does hate Trump

Tulsa Beacon

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she doesn’t “hate” President Donald Trump. She said she doesn’t “hate” anyone. Yet, Pelosi has been relentless in not only her pursuit to drive Trump from office but also to kill any legislation that might be seen as a victory for Trump’s conservative policies. Pelosi is the poster child for an…

Letter: No Democrat presidential hopeful can match Trump’s success

Tulsa Beacon

As in all former presidential elections, the left still has no credible scandal-free frontrunner again this time. Not one such candidate yet stands up to Trump’s pristine honesty and proven progress now strategically unmatchable. Honestly, today’s best left frontrunner actually thought she was an Indian for 30 years until recently disproven. The laughable debates though…

According to Meals on Wheels America, one in four U.S. seniors live alone. Isolation can cause detrimental health issues, including heightened risk of heart disease, dementia and premature death. The holidays…
