Editorial: HD79 needs to elect Dan Hicks

Tulsa Beacon

State government in Oklahoma needs a big dose of common sense and leaders who understand solid business principles. For example, the reason why teachers have not gotten pay raises is because too much funding got stuck in administration instead of the classroom. More money for public education is ineffective unless there are reforms that utilize…

Editorial: Senate Democrats ignore civility

Tulsa Beacon

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee and their leftist minions want to stop acceptance of the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh through mob rule. It’s the same tactic that hired protestors use when a conservative speaker comes to campus. For the past 15 Senate confirmation hearings for the U.S. Supreme Court, there was marked disagreement…

Editorial: Disrespecting the American flag

Tulsa Beacon

Former NFL quarterback/activist Colin Kaepernick disrespects America and now Nike is endorsing his protest. In 2016, while a backup quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers, Kaepernick refused to stand for the playing of the National Anthem and disrespected the U.S. flag. A free agent, no NFL team has signed him to a contract since then. …

Editorial: God’s work at New Life Ranch

Tulsa Beacon

God transforms lives through the ministry of New Life Ranch and now through a remarkable set of circumstances, there is hope that the ministry will double in size. New Life Ranch, 80 miles east of Tulsa in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, was started in 1958 by the late Rev. Willard Heck and his…

Editorial: Homosexual judicial candidate

Tulsa Beacon

Christopher Uric Brecht-Smith, who is married to another man, wants to be the first homosexual district court judge in Tulsa County. He will be on the ballot November 6, running against Judge Linda Morrissey, an experienced, moral and fair judge. This is America and anyone can run for office. The real issue here is a…

Editorial: Health risks for marijuana use

Tulsa Beacon

Marijuana is just a plant and Oklahoma voters just approved its use as a medicine. Does that mean it is good for you? Not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. According to the latest recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are major concerns about marijuana’s effect on children’s short-term growth and long-term neurological…

Letter: America’s abortions are inhumane

Tulsa Beacon

The top U.S. Senate Democrat is afraid that President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court might be inclined to favor reversal of Roe v. Wade. He and some of his fellow colleagues, want to continue the killing of innocent unborn babies. Which is a terribly inhumane act that goes against God’s Laws. They speak of…

Letter: No corruption here

Tulsa Beacon

It’s tough sitting on the sidelines while someone demeans your record, office and leadership. Charlie Prater, (who lost a runoff for state auditor), has built his entire campaign on false accusations and baseless lies. Prater accused Deputy State Auditor Cindy Byrd of campaigning on state time and bilking taxpayers out of tens of thousands of…

Editorial: The desecration of Oklahoma!

Tulsa Beacon

The goal of the homosexual agenda is to whittle away at our culture and eventually force everyone to buy into that perverted lifestyle. Here’s another example. Oregon is a hotbed of homosexuality. It is one of the most beautiful yet liberal states. Now Oregon is a setting for a homosexual version of Oklahoma! – the…

Editorial: More taxes, bigger government?

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma is over taxed. Here’s proof. According to the state treasurer, state revenues grew by a very healthy 10 percent in July. The new taxes on cigarettes, gasoline and energy production started on July 1 but they will not impact the state reports until the August accounting. Some state agency heads, greedy for more money,…
