Killing Grandma to Kiss the Zeitgeist.

Poor Brittany Maynard. Brittany Maynard was a young woman who had terminal brain cancer. She opted to kill herself. She used assisted suicide as her method. She did this in a highly-publicized way that made her the poster girl for assisted suicide advocates, everywhere. As if that wasn’t bad enough, her actions have inspired a number of states and one municipality to jump on the assisted suicide bandwagon. Poor Brittany Maynard. She not only had to face God with her... Read more

HHS Mandate Loses Another Round with the Supremes

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 11:23 am By Rebecca Hamilton

13 Comments

The United States Supreme Court issued an order yesterday that will block the federal government from enforcing the HHS Mandate against a whole range of religious organizations. This follows similar injunctions granted to the Little Sister of the Poor, Hobby Lobby, Wheaton College and Notre Dame. It is important to remember that this is not a Supreme Court ruling. It is a court order. It requires the government to file a brief with the court defending its position that these... Read more

Planned Parenthood: Providing Forced Abortions to Sex Traffickers

Last updated on: April 18, 2015 at 10:29 am By Rebecca Hamilton

2 Comments

The subject was a bill stuck in the United States Senate that would help trafficking victims. The Ds are killing the bill because it contains a codicil that would stop monies in the legislation from being used for abortions. I won’t go in to the conversation that post generated. You can see it here. What I will do is raise a question. How can anyone who opposes sex trafficking support Planned Parenthood? I remarked to a pro choice person just recently that... Read more

Cyber War Can Be Real War.

Warfare can be as fluid and as targeted as human ingenuity. While we’re worrying — with justification — about the possibility of all-out nuclear war in an atomic Middle East, we also need to consider the possibilities inherent in a simple device that you are looking at right now. That device is your computer, and the means of delivery of untold mayhem is the internet. Revenge hacking is an old deal. I had a number of attempts to hack me personally... Read more

Rep David Dank was My Friend. His Funeral is Today.

Last updated on: April 16, 2015 at 9:44 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Oklahoma’s elderly lost a key supporter in the Oklahoma legislature last Friday. Representative David Dank died in his home of an apparent heart attack. His funeral is today. David and I were friends for 35 years. In all that time, he never told me a lie. He was always someone I could turn to for help. David was a principled legislator who saw corruption and tried to end it and who stood unfailingly for the needs of elderly people. A... Read more

McConnell Calls on Dems to End Abortion Filibuster Against Human Trafficking Bill

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 1:43 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

21 Comments

The boys and girls in the United States Senate are doing nothing again. However, it must be admitted that they are doing their nothing with real flair. The reason? It seems that most of the Ds are all in a snit over a proposed bill that would help agencies that oppose human trafficking. The bill contains a prohibition on any of the funds in the bill going to pay for abortions. Legislation has often contained this kind of rider since... Read more

Turkey Says Pope’s Remembrance of Armenian Genocide is Islamaphobia

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 9:16 am By Rebecca Hamilton

5 Comments

Murderers and rapists demand silence. They will use any means to coerce agreement that they did not do what they, in fact, did. This is part of getting away with it. It is an extension of the original crime. Every Turk who participated in the Armenian genocide is dead and gone. But by refusing to tell the truth of the thing, and by using the power of government to try to hide it and cover it up with lies, today’s... Read more

If you want to know who’s running for President, just get a phone book. Or, you can limit your list to candidates who are running under the banner of one of the two main political parties and who have a PAC. That’s still a long list.

Pope Francis Describes the Massacre of Armenians as ‘Genocide.’ Turkey Recalls Its Ambassador.

Last updated on: April 13, 2015 at 12:40 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

In his morning homily today, Pope Francis described the courage to proclaim the Gospel as grace born of the Holy Spirit. He exercised a bit of that grace in the mass described in the video below in which he called the massacre of Armenians early in the 20th century what it was: Genocide. Turkey responded by recalling its ambassador to the Holy See. There’s no surprise in this. No one likes to face the realization that there is a monster in... Read more
