Fourteen people are dead and at least 78 people were injured in deadly terrorist bombings of two Christian churches in Pakistan. One of the Churches was Catholic the other protestant. Churches in Pakistan have been forced to post guards during Church services because of the threat of violence against Christians in that country. One of the guards, spotted the suicide bomber, trying to enter the Catholic Church and tried to stop him. This forced the terrorist to detonate the bomb before... Read more

Decades ago, not long after my conversion, I had a discussion with an atheist friend of mine. This friend was from the time when just about all of my friends — including me — evinced a militant disregard for things Christian. I didn’t know it at first, but that conversion to Christ was going to change everything in my life, including my relationship with people who had been as close to me as family. One by one and despite everything I... Read more

So What’s this “Agreement” with Iran that’s Got Everybody in an Uproar?

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:49 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

11 Comments

Plainly put, the “agreement” between Iran and President Obama (not, notice between Iran and the United States of America) is just that: It’s an agreement. But, it appears to have many of the qualities of a treaty. However, the Constitution plainly states that the United States Senate will ratify all treaties. If the Senate won’t ratify, the treaty is dead. But presidents — not just this president — have been entering into these “agreements” unilaterally for quite a while now. These “agreeements” do...

The R and the D: Destroying America to Win in ’16.

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 9:46 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a stirring speech to a joint session of Congress. Fifty Democratic members of Congress decided to boycott the speech because they didn’t want to involve the United States Congress in politics. That is a little like a doctor boycotting his patients because he doesn’t want his practice involved in medicine. After that, (and we’ll get to this in detail in the next post) 47 Republican Senators of equal concern for this country to the Ds who... Read more

47 Republican Senators’ Letter to Iran: Here It Is.

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 10:37 am By Rebecca Hamilton

4 Comments

The letter that 47 United States Senators sent to the government of Iran is below. This letter has set off something of a firestorm and a potential Constitutional crisis. A massive number of people have signed a petition demanding that the signatories be prosecuted for treason amid questions of whether or not the Senators broke the law. Meanwhile the senators who signed the letter and the president are standing firm. The news is that the letter will “not derail the agreement.”... Read more

Outrage Over Racist Video Rolls. Everybody Apologizes.

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 1:44 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

5 Comments

Outrage over the video of Oklahoma University fraternity partiers singing a racist video is rolling forward. The only people not apologizing are those voicing outrage and some people are apologizing and expressing outrage, both at once. African American students express hurt and betrayal. “These are the same people who are shaking my hand after I score a touchdown,” one football player said. An African American alumnus of this fraternity said that watching the video was “like getting punched.” The two... Read more

History of the Crusades: Richard the Lionheart, Genius and Virtue

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 12:44 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

I am aware that there are Islamic teachings which lead to a more peaceful application of that faith. I think that the interpretation referenced here is an accurate depiction of of the application of Islamic teachings of a thousand years ago. It also seems that it is still relevant to Islamic extremists today. I want to emphasize that this video discusses events which happened almost over a thousand years ago. The reason I am posting it here is to... Read more

The racist University of Oklahoma fraternity video that’s been in the news is below. The video was released by the campus group Unheard. Unheard is working to increase African American presence at OU. They sent a 12-page letter of grievances to OU’s President Boren earlier. President Boren said that he agreed with most of the grievances. He was already working with Unheard to implement many of their suggestions before the video surfaced. The University of Oklahoma has a long-standing divide between... Read more

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu gave a powerful and inspiring speech before a joint session of the United States Congress last week. The single most compelling thing about this speech was his commitment to Israel. I would give anything if American elected officials actually cared about America the way that he so obviously cares about Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu came before Congress to speak on behalf of Israeli interests. He told us that Israel would stand alone if it had to, but... Read more
