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…

Letter: Donkey or ‘kangaroo’ party symbol?

Tulsa Beacon

A question – What ever happened to the Demo Donkey symbol for the Democrat Party? It looks like a kangaroo needs to be the new party symbol. That matches the “kangaroo court hearings” they held to impeach President Trump. Trump was looking into an agreement that Nancy Pelosi and her gang wanted in the Middle…

Editorial: Why are so many schools failing?

Tulsa Beacon

According to the latest education “report card,” academic achievement is stagnant. It’s actually worse than that. Children in public schools in Oklahoma – and more specifically in the Tulsa School District – are not learning as they should. Why? In the past two years, Oklahoma voters have elected so-called “pro-education” legislators who have pushed for…

Editorial: Keep the National Guard home

Tulsa Beacon

Until recently, the Oklahoma National Guard was not deployed overseas in combat zones. During the Vietnam War, the Guard was stationed only stateside. Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, has filed legislation to ensure men and women serving in the Oklahoma National Guard are only deployed as directed by the U.S. Constitution. Known as the “Defend…

Editorial: Free college tuition is a scheme

Tulsa Beacon

Democrats want free college tuition for everyone. Apart from this enormous cost, there is a sinister hidden agenda in these appeals to government funded higher education. Free speech is being denied at varying levels at most colleges and universities. Liberal professor foster progressive thought and discourage or even ban conservatism. Democrats want impressionable high school…

Letter: Island of Peace during the holidays

Tulsa Beacon

As it inevitably does year after year, the holiday season has rolled around to us again.  This year a good friend of mine is experiencing his first “empty” Christmas.  His children either live too far away or are too busy with their own plans and lives to offer him comfort.  He faces this emptiness alone….
