Christian Persecution Reaches Israel

Last updated on: August 8, 2025 at 9:42 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Friday: Christian Persecution The Council of Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Churches of the Holy Land called on Israeli authorities to hold extremist settlers accountable for escalating attacks against Christians. From OSV News: “The attacks by the settlers against our community, which is living in peace, must stop, both here in Taybeh and elsewhere throughout the West Bank. This is clearly part of the systematic attacks against Christians that we see unfolding throughout the region. The attacks against Christians... Read more

How Many People Do You Have to Kill … The Texas Flood

Last updated on: August 4, 2025 at 12:32 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Monday: How many people do you have to kill before you’re not pro life anymore? Two months ago today, these little girls were happy and alive. They were safe at church camp. Then, the flood came. If the directors of the camp had been warned, they could have closed the camp. That’s what people do here in tornado alley when storms are coming. We close things down. There is no school, businesses let out early, and we hunker down. If... Read more

Maxwell Moved to Cushy Prison. Will Trump Pardon Her?

Last updated on: August 2, 2025 at 11:24 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Inquiring minds want to know: Is Trump going to pardon Gislaine Maxwell? Will Maxwell testify on Trump’s behalf? Has the FBI scrubbed Trump’s name from the Epstein Files? Will Trump now release an edited version of the files that only mentions people he doesn’t like and hides the names of anyone he wants to shelter? While we don’t know for sure what is going to happen, there are what you might call hints. Maxwell has been transferred to a fed... Read more

ISIL Massacres 43 Catholics in Congolese Church

Last updated on: August 1, 2025 at 2:27 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Friday: Christian Persecution Forty-three Christians were massacred in a Congolese Catholic Church this week. Pope Francis called for all efforts to be made to prevent such tragedies. Then, at his Wednesday audience, he said “I renew my deep sorrow for the brutal terrorist attack that took place during the night of July 26 to 27 in Komanda, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where more than forty Christians were killed in church during a...

Pope Leo Releases His Prayer Intention for August

Last updated on: July 31, 2025 at 8:43 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Leo’s prayer intention for August is a prayer for an end to the splintering of humanity over ethnic, political, religious or ideological differences. This is a simple prayer for something that all people need desperately. Countless millions of people have suffered beyond imagining because of these things. Almost always, when these divisions become violent and deadly, there is a self-promoting leader at the helm who uses these differences as means of focusing the frustrations of of individual people and...

Stop the Cover-Up. Release the Files. Name Every Man.

Last updated on: July 31, 2025 at 5:11 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Today is the World Day Against Human Trafficking. It’s as ironic as irony can be that on this day America is embroiled in an argument over whether or not the full, unfiltered Jeffrey Epstein Files — without cleaning them up to hide people Trump wants hidden — should be made available to the public. Why are we protecting these men? Why did Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, pull 1,000 FBI agents off their other work to go through the files,... Read more

Largest Abortion Clinic in this Hemisphere Shuts Down

Last updated on: July 29, 2025 at 3:29 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Prevention Park Health Center, the largest abortion facility in the Western hemisphere, is closing its doors. At its busiest, the massive Planned Parenthood in Houston killed 10,000 babies per year, including babies that were up to 24 weeks in pregnancy. At least 2 dozen Planned Parenthood facilities around the country are also closing, including 3 others in the Houston area. This is a momentous moment. Reading the news stories about it, makes me feel a little bit like a worn... Read more

Vatican Envoy Visits Persecuted Christians in Modi’s India

Last updated on: July 25, 2025 at 4:46 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Friday. Christian Persecution Christians in India took advantage of a visit by the Vatican envoy, Archbishop Richard Gallagher, to implore the Vatican for help in ending the persecution they suffer because they are Christians. From what I’ve read, the Modi regime gets much of its electoral support because of its Hindu Nationalism. Since Modi took office, the persecution of India’s Christians, including violent persecution, has increased exponentially. There were 834 cases of violence and hostility against Christians reported in India... Read more

If you were Ghislaine Maxwell, what would you do?

Last updated on: July 26, 2025 at 10:53 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I don’t want to belabor the current Epstein situation. At the same time, I would feel remiss if I didn’t point out a few rather obvious things. 1. Trump was president when Epstein died. Trump had control of the Justice Department. Epstein was in a federal prison. It has been revealed that almost 3 minutes of the surveillance tape of Epstein’s cell have been removed. I’m not a detective, but it seems to me that the changes in that tape... Read more
