To secularists, it should be illegal to hold an opinion opposite of theirs. Academics that championed free speech 30 years ago are now trying to stifle dissenting views on campus. Since 2005, Professor Eric Thompson taught sociology at Moreno Valley College. Twice, he won the “faculty of the year” award as voted by students. He…
Another mass shooting, Why? We have now suffered more mass shootings. This time the shooting was in a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Texas (and in Dayton, Ohio.) Why are we witnessing mass shootings? I believe the root cause of the increase of mass shootings is not mysterious. In 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled…
The lunacy of the left was in full display once again July 31 and August 1 when all twenty of the Democratic presidential candidates participated in their second debate. Every Democrat presidential candidate told us “climate change” is the biggest threat to this nation. Some even claim this planet will be destroyed in ten to…
It’s nice to have a holiday in August. Oklahoma’s sales tax holiday is this weekend. In their collective wisdom, the Oklahoma Legislature passed Senate Bill 861 during the 2007 Legislative Session. Conservative lawmakers were tired of reports of Oklahoma shoppers driving to Dallas during the Texas sales tax holiday. Everyone is a winner with this…
In July, a handful of radical Democrat representatives tried to impeach President Trump. The vote failed, 95-332. It failed because most Democrats understand that Trump is innocent of any impeachable offenses. The calls for impeachment started the day Trump took office. Democrats are upset because Hillary Clinton – one of the worst presidential candidate in…
Doubling the minimum wage to $15 an hour sounds like a good idea but it’s not. In July, Democrats in the U.S. House voted that increase as a meaningless gesture to prove that they are trying to accomplish something. The action was part of their presidential strategy to make people hate the rich and give…
You are digging yourself a pit that could eventually cave in on you and the City of Tulsa. I am referring specifically to the police oversight board and the search for the alleged “mass graves” resulting from the 1921 Tulsa race riot. The Police Oversight Board The police oversight board will not result in a…
Perhaps Mayor G.T. Bynum knows little about the work for integration in the 1950s. The goal was to offer equal rights. You know, “separate but equal” didn’t work too well. To me, it is puzzling – or are there other motives at work here? Will we see groups formed and paid funds by Tulsa citizens?…
Homelessness is up in Tulsa by 10 percent this year. It went up 8 percent last year, according to the Rev. Steve Whitaker, senior pastor and CEO of John 3:16 Mission. Oklahoma has about 4,000 verifiable homeless people. And that number is growing. Why? Unemployment is down. The national economy is the best in decades….
Some Americans – mostly liberal Democrat leaders – are doing their best to rachet up racial tensions in our nation. Every policy decision made by President Donald Trump results in him being called a “racist” on CNN, MSNBC, in the New York Times, in the Washington Post and in the House of Representatives. Similarly, if…
