Editorial: Councilors support homosexuality

Tulsa Beacon

At least five city councilors – Lori Decter Wright, Kara Joy McKee, Crista Patrick, Ben Kimbro and Cass Fahler – fully support the Homosexual Agenda. They are so supportive of homosexuality that they marched in the recent “Gay Pride Parade” in Downtown Tulsa. Councilor Jeannie Cue didn’t march but sent a representative. Mayor G.T. Bynum…

Editorial: Democrats may wind up in prison

Tulsa Beacon

In a private meeting of Congressional Democrat, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the reason she does not want to impeach President Trump is because she wants him to go to jail instead. What? “I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” the House Speaker said, according to Politico. The…

Editorial: OETA pushes homosexuality

Tulsa Beacon

Here’s just one more reason why public funding should not go to the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA). OETA, which probably would go under without huge state subsidies, is running a series of homosexual friendly films in June to “celebrate Pride Month.” What? On June 11, OETA aired a documentary about the Stonewall Inn riots…

Editorial: Questioning the flooding policies

Tulsa Beacon

Tulsa area residents who got flooded in the recent storms are questioning the policies of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concerning the timing and the rates of release of water from the Keystone Dam. Why, they ask, didn’t the Corps order more water released when heavy rains were forecast? If Keystone Lake had been…

Editorial: Mexican tariffs are the right move

Tulsa Beacon

President Andres Manuel López Obrador was mad that President Trump was threatening to impose a set of tariffs on Mexican goods because of that country’s lack of cooperation in stopping the illegal immigration crisis at our southern border. The threat worked. President Trump’s decisiveness caused that leftist leader to finally do something to end this…

Editorial: Weekend gun violence in Chicago

Tulsa Beacon

Why would anyone want to live in Chicago? Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and yet the first weekend in June was a bloody testimony to the fact that when guns are outlawed, only criminals will have guns. Shortly after Chicago officials bragged about an ever-so-slight decrease in violent crime,…

Letter: ‘If My people…’ still applies

Tulsa Beacon

Remember: “If My people…”? This is from memory, not from research. In the 1970’s, intercession for America started a campaign of “If My people” based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. We would acknowledge our need for God to save us from problems plaguing our country. Many churches strongly supported the effort. Some Christian organizations also joined…

Editorial: Don’t build on the Arkansas River

Tulsa Beacon

There’s a lesson to be learned from the historic rain and flooding in Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma. Don’t build too close to a river. The sod farms in Bixby are a good example of what should be next to a major river. When (not if) the Arkansas River floods, if river water covers a sod…

Editorial: Democrats block infrastructure

Tulsa Beacon

President Donald Trump is a builder. That is what he has done during his whole professional career. During his campaign, he promised to go to work on America’s infrastructure – roads, highways, bridges, etc. That is not going to happen because of Nancy Pelosi and the do-nothing Democrats in the House of Representatives. Trump stands…

Editorial: Abortion unchanged in Oklahoma

Tulsa Beacon

There was some good accomplished in the 2019 session of the Oklahoma Legislature. Teachers got a raise. Gov. Kevin Stitt put aside an extra $200 million for a rainy day (we’ve had a bunch of rainy days). Reforms were passed that transferred power from agency heads to the governor’s office. And there were no tax…
