Riding the Super Bull Market: 7 Points

Last updated on: January 23, 2018 at 10:30 am By Rebecca Hamilton

The stock market has been going up like an express elevator, fueled by a mega transfer of wealth in the form of the recent tax cut. I watched one of the financial channels the day after the bill passed, and what I saw left me flummoxed. The talking heads were behaving like a bunch of drunks at a party. They were all over the tax cut, prognosticating about a market that was going to be hypered by the increase in... Read more

President Donald Trump made pro life history this week. He gave a speech addressing the annual March for Life from the Rose Garden, which was televised to the speech goers. This is the first time a President of the United States has addressed the March for Life. He also created a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division within the federal Health and Human Services Department. This division is tasked with dealing with complaints from health care workers who do not want to... Read more

Bishop Withdraws From March for Life Over AG’s Death Penalty Support

Last updated on: January 23, 2018 at 10:36 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Bishop Anthony Taylor of Little Rock Arkanas recently announced that he would not attend the annual March for Life in his Diocese. In his own words, “The reason is that Arkansas Right to Life has chosen as the keynote speaker for the rally a person who has good anti-abortion credentials but otherwise is decidedly not an appropriate pro-life speaker, namely Attorney General Leslie Rutledge who this last year worked tirelessly to secure the execution of four criminals who posed no...

Martin Luther King’s Unfinished Second Revolution

Last updated on: November 18, 2024 at 4:33 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Martin Luther King, Jr, was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. Every man, woman and child in this nation owes him a great debt of gratitude. He worked to end segregation, lynching and other crimes against humanity that were committed against black people. That took courage. He did this through a Christian, distinctly American paradigm. That took greatness. I’ve read that he modeled his non-violent approach on the revolutionary work of Mahatma Gandhi, who famously said, I admire... Read more

Blessed Stanley Rother, the Shepherd Who Did Not Run

Last updated on: December 13, 2017 at 9:21 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Blessed Stanley Rother’s life and death offer religious leaders who are honestly seeking to follow Christ a contemporary example of how to do it. After his beatification here in Oklahoma City, I wrote a post for the National Catholic Register. Here is part of what I said: I wonder what Father Stanley Rother thinks of all this. He’s now a blessed, beatified martyr of the Church. People say things like “Father Stanley, pray for us,” and they don’t mean it... Read more

Did the White House Get It Wrong, Or Did I Miss Something?

This seems so obvious that I can’t believe it’s the way it appears. There was an attempted terrorist attack in New York today. The terrorist who initiated the attack has evidently said that he “radicalized himself” and was doing it “for ISIS.” He also, according to all the news reports I’ve read, is originally from Bangladesh. I’ve also read that the White House press secretary has said that President Trump’s “travel ban” would “have prevented” this man from entering America.... Read more
