Editorial: Attack on freedom of religion

Tulsa Beacon

The City of De Pere in Wisconsin wants to classify churches as “places of public accommodation” in order to compel them to adhere to non-discrimination mandates on gender identity and sexual orientation. Thank goodness, the Brown County Circuit Court issued a written decision which harshly criticizes a city’s action.    The City of De Pere ordinance…

Editorial: Fiscal sanity for Oklahoma U.

Tulsa Beacon

When Jim Gallogly became president of The University of Oklahoma, it didn’t take him long to find out that the school had more than a billion dollars in debt.

Editorial: Bribery on university campuses

Tulsa Beacon

Bribery is a way of life in most countries of the world. That’s a fact. It’s not supposed to be that way in America because of the rule of law, our Constitution and law enforcement. Yet it does. And it should be no surprise when it involves public institutions of higher education. Federal prosecutors charged…

Editorial: New media misfires – once again

Tulsa Beacon

The liberal media – in cohoots with Democrats in Congress – in America couldn’t move fast enough to label the primary suspect in the March 15 massacre in New Zealand as a “right-wing conservative extremist.” This labeling is automatic with outlets like CNN, NBC, MSNBC and others. But the truth is revealed in a 74-page…

Editorial: Pushing homosexual legislation

Rep. Jason Dunningham, D-Oklahoma City, wants to make it a crime for a licensed counselor to tell a client age 18 or younger that they don’t have to be a homosexual.

Letter: Demand a vote on abortion ban

Tulsa Beacon

In a recent poll reported by Family Research Prayer Team, 9 percent  of Americans who identified as pro-choice a month ago switched to pro-life after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo led the Legislature as they passed the most liberal abortion law in America. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared his support for a bill legalizing infanticide…

Letter: All nations need to have borders

Tulsa Beacon

It goes without saying that any home, business, church or airport needs clearly marked borders. For safety and a multitude of reasons, you cannot have people wandering onto your property. For my part, I have been in 11 different nations for business, the military and vacations. That includes a year and a half in the…

Editorial: Governor Stitt keeps his promise

Tulsa Beacon

It’s nice to finally have a governor who keeps his campaign promises and adheres to his party’s platform. Gov. Kevin Stitt, R-Tulsa, signed his first bill one hour after it had passed. The constitutional carry bill give open carry to law-abiding Oklahomans. It is an important step to clear up the state’s messy gun laws….
