We Made a Mistake. Tuesday’s Election Shows We Know It.

Last updated on: November 7, 2025 at 7:15 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. Hosea 8:7 Last Tuesday’s election was a big 180 on the part of the voters of this country. The message it sent in terms of the overall dissatisfaction people are feeling about the direction of this country was decisive. It turns out that I’m not the only one who loves America. I’m also not the only one who wants to live in a democracy instead of a military dictatorship. ... Read more

Trump Throws Himself a Little Party

Last updated on: November 4, 2025 at 4:25 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Our health care premiums are going through the roof. The same money that bought a week’s worth of groceries when Trump took office will now feed your family through Thursday. Food banks are begging for donations because they don’t have enough food for all the people who are showing up. Troops are in our cities. The wrecking crew tore down our White House. Bribes are flowing in. Billionaires are raiding the national treasury. Corruption is wide open. Lies flow like... Read more

Pope’s Nov Prayer Intention is a Call for Conversion

Last updated on: November 3, 2025 at 11:12 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Leo’s prayer intention for November is really a call for conversion to people of faith the world over. The Holy Father is asking us to pray for “collaboration” between and among the world’s religions that we may “work together for peace, justice and fraternity.” It is a sad fact that many faith leaders of the different religions waste their own lives and destroy the lives of others by working for the exact opposite of peace, justice and fraternity. There... Read more

Book Review: Blind Descent. Prayer. And the Mad King.

Last updated on: October 28, 2025 at 8:22 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Good morning my friends. I didn’t plan to do this, but I think I must. I’m going to take a day or two for prayer. Writing these posts requires me to read and research extensively, and that means I take repeated deep dives into the evil that is besetting us. My sister died last May, and I am still grieving. Reading and writing about the destruction of America on top of that can be hard. There are days when I... Read more

Rs Support Tearing Down White House and Lie to Excuse It.

Last updated on: October 25, 2025 at 8:13 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Trump didn’t want to move into the White House. He called it “a real dump.” We the People have been paying for his disrespect of our White House ever since he took the oath and was forced to move into what he considers inadequate digs for the king he thinks he is. I don’t have current figures, but when he was in office the first time, his golfing jaunts to Mar a Lago cost us $13.6 million for each trip... Read more

Trump Demolishes the White House. This is not a Joke.

I never forget that I live in a house that belongs to all the American people and I have been given their trust. Franklin Delano Roosevelt I don’t think I’ve ever had any public figure do anything that has made me as angry as the photos I saw yesterday of the White House being torn down. I’m too angry to talk about it. Here are a few points for us to consider, going forward. The White House — and America... Read more

Pope Leo says “The Church Cannot be Silent” about ICE

Last updated on: October 23, 2025 at 6:56 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Leo is urging America’s Catholic bishops to stop sitting on the sidelines in the fight against Trump’s abuses of human rights. I know some of America’s bishops have been trying to do something all along. The bishop of Miami prayed the Rosary outside Alligator Alcatraz. The bishop of West Virginia wrote a scalding letter in which he reminded ICE agents in blunt language that they would ultimately have to answer to God for what they are doing. The bishop...

Did you ever see a demon, walking in human flesh?

Last updated on: October 22, 2025 at 5:31 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Did you ever see a demon, walking in human flesh? Look at this photo. Now, watch this video. I’ve watched several interviews with this pastor. He is Rev David Black, pastor at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. Rev Black said he “felt called” to pray for the ICE agents who were there that day. That’s what he was doing at the beginning of this video. He was praying for the men who subsequently shot him. You can see it.... Read more

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . .
