Did Obama Discriminate Against Christian Refugees?

Last updated on: November 18, 2024 at 8:44 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

I have no first-hand knowledge of this. However, I have read repeatedly in publications which seek to support Christians who are subjected to discrimination, that President Obama’s administration discriminated against Christians who were seeking asylum in this country. President Trump evidently repeated that charge in front of an Evangelical group. The BBC then shot back by saying that President Trump was wrong when he said that the Obama administration favored Muslim immigrants over Christians who were seeking asylum in this... Read more

Trump’s Nominee to the Supreme Court: Who is Neil Gorsuch?

Last updated on: November 18, 2024 at 8:50 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

President Trump has nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch, who is currently on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, for the Supreme Court. Judge Gorsuch, an Episcopalian, has written a book in opposition to assisted suicide entitled, The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia. In the book, he said “Human life is fundamentally and inherently valuable and the intentional taking of human life by private persons is always wrong.” Note the caveat he put in that statement, “by private persons.” I interpret that...

For what it’s worth, I support the idea of immigration reform, including limiting immigration from countries with which we are engaged in hostilities. Here are a few bits of reportage on the topic of the recent immigration executive order. I chose them based on the fact that they weresimply reporting the situation. I am putting them here in an effort to encourage you to think and let think. Every side has another side, and good laws are made by... Read more

Every year we march. Tens of thousands of us march for life in the cold and the mush, year after year. We march in Tulsa and San Francisco and Washington, DC. And every year the news folk ignore us. This unprofessional black out is a big part of why so many pro life people do not believe them when they try to tell truth about other things.
