Letter: Wrongheaded policies

Tulsa Beacon

The Democrat Party is going overboard in their search for a strong woman to be our next commander-in-chief.  But that search for strong women is not just confined to the political arena.  It’s extended to every position of authority in our society — particularly those positions which were once thought to be only available to…

Editorial: Vote for Nicole Nixon for TPS

Tulsa Beacon

One of the reasons for the ongoing failure in Tulsa Public Schools is the political idealogy of the local school board. For years, the only openly conservative member of the Tulsa School Board was Dr. Lois Jacobs and she left after being harassed by the liberal news media, the teachers’ union and groups like the…

Editorial: Healthcare for illegal aliens?

Tulsa Beacon

Citizens of other countries are coming to Oklahoma illegally just to have babies and the federal government is forcing Oklahoma government to pay for their medical expenses. Sen. Paul Scott, R-Duncan, has filed a bill to stop the state from funding to provide healthcare to illegal aliens under the Soon-to-Be-Sooners Program. The STBS program is…

Editorial: Award shows losing audiences

Tulsa Beacon

Hollywood’s war on President Trump is having an impact – on Hollywood. As we enter the season of phony Hollywood award shows, progressive actors, directors, producers and writers seldom waste and an opportunity to blast Trump as a “racist,” “homophobe” or any other nasty tag that suits their fancy. America has had enough of listening…

Letter: The leading cause of death in the United States is abortion

Tulsa Beacon

In December on Fox News, Bret Baier did a short segment on “The Changing Demographics and The Declining Birth Rate in the United States.”  There were 3.9 million new births in the United States last year – the lowest number since 1987.  The federal government’s Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports the current birth rate…

Letter: Only prayer can change Pelosi

Tulsa Beacon

Only intervention from God can stop the moral decline of America.  The hoopla about the historical significance of the election of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House will pass, but there will be consequences, unless there is a change of heart. Nancy Pelosi, “America’s most powerful woman” is accountable to God, like everybody else. …

Letter: Mitt Romney is double-minded

Tulsa Beacon

Mitt Romney was sworn into the Senate in January . . . but before he could even be seated . . . he began his attacks on President Trump. Romney wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post saying, “Trump has not risen to the mantle of the presidency.”  Then, in an interview with CNN, Romney…

Editorial: Blame the Senate Democrats

Tulsa Beacon

The partial shutdown of the government that began in January should be blamed on Democrats in the U.S. Senate. President Trump, responding to the will of the people in the 2016 election, promised a secure border and part of that is a wall along our border with Mexico. The continuing resolution passed before Christmas included…

Editorial: Never enough cash for the OEA

Tulsa Beacon

The Oklahoma Education Association, a wing of the National Education Association, deserves credit for getting public education in such a mess in Oklahoma. Last year, the OEA promoted a walkout/strike to raise teacher salaries after the Republican-led Legislature voted in salary increases for public teachers. No amount of tax increases is enough in the eyes…

Editorial: Boy Scouts facing bankruptcy

Tulsa Beacon

The Boy Scouts of America are pondering bankruptcy because of legal problems but those are the surface causes. In the 1970s, the Boy Scouts had more than five million members and now they have more than two million. What happened to cause this organization, founded on honor and character, to teeter on collapse? Strike one…
