Trump is doing a great job in appointing conservative judges

Tulsa Beacon

A pleasant surprise appeared in the Tulsa World, daily newspaper, on December 21.  Somewhat buried on page A-6 was an AP story credited to Matthew Daly headlined, “Senate approves 13 judge nominees.” Well it’s about time some recognition in reporting be given to the Senate Judiciary Committee for actually doing the assigned duties, which are…

Democrats’ flawed impeachment process

Tulsa Beacon

The last several weeks have been eventful in terms of one particular topic, and that is House Democrats and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unprecedented pursuit of impeachment. Especially on something as consequential as impeaching the President of the United States, it is a disservice to the American people for one political party to dictate the terms…

Democrats have a wide variety of religious backgrounds

Tulsa Beacon

What is the religious background of the Democrat candidates for president? The major candidates are Hindu, Presbyterian, Catholic, Quaker, Jewish, Baptist, Anglican, Episcopal, Methodist, Church of Christ and “Protestant.” Of the top 20 Democrats, seven are Catholic, two are Hindu and three have religious backgrounds but are not affiliated currently with any specific religion or…

The pardon of Lt. Behenna was a joyful surprise for Americans

Tulsa Beacon

It came as a really joyful surprise when the morning KFAQ talk show host Pat Campbell opened his show on May 6 with the announcement that PRESDT-45 had given a complete pardon to former Lt. Michael Behenna, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, from his questionable 2009 court marshall conviction for a reported “unpremeditated murder in a combat…

Editorial: Facts about the Russian probe

Tulsa Beacon

Here’s what we know as facts in the wake of the Russian collusion special counsel report. Did Donald Trump or anybody in his campaign conspire with the Russian government? No. Did President Trump obstruct justice? No. A president can fire a special counsel at any time but Trump didn’t do so. Trump didn’t exert executive…

Editorial: Trump vs. the chamber of commerce

Tulsa Beacon

The relationship between President Trump and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a train wreck. That was reinforced by an article by Brody Mullins and Alex Leary for the Wall Street Journal. The chamber is the biggest lobbying group in Washington, D.C., and a big part of the “swamp” that Trump is working to drain….

‘Anything Goes’ as progressives struggle to regain some power

Tulsa Beacon

It seems to me that those on the ‘left side of the aisles’ tend to become more and more vehement and uncivil when they feel that they are facing a losing battle in their efforts to secure absolute power over the rest of the population.  And that is true whether in the United States or…

Editorial: Democrat hopefuls’ proposals

Tulsa Beacon

Here are some of the plans of the mainstream candidates running for the Socialist Democrat nomination for president. Forgive all student debt. Make tuition free for all state-supported colleges and universities. Give poor people a monthly allowance. Place a 2 percent wealth tax on anyone worth more than $10 million. Let 16-year-olds vote. Impeach President…

Using the National Guard and Reservists at the border is good

Tulsa Beacon

It has long caused wonder in my mind when our Reserve and National Guard units are called to their annual active two-week (if memory serves correct) duty period that they could be sent to serve, learn and practice in actual operations rather than go through the motions in some existing fort or base.  It now…

Letter: Uplifting Bush funeral

Tulsa Beacon

My wife and I watched every minute of the ceremonies commemorating the life and passing of our 41st President.  It was a beautiful tribute, and it gave the whole world a more personal and intimate view of the man himself. It was an emotional, deeply moving experience, and one of enlightenment.  Looking back over the…
