ICE Murders Another American. Trump & His Posse Lie as Usual

Last updated on: January 26, 2026 at 8:39 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

We the People can’t go one weekend without Trump and his regime dumping a new fresh hell on our heads. The week before last, Trump’s ICE thugs murdered Renee Good in cold blood. Then Trump, Vance, Noem, Bondi and Trump’s entire right wing media lying machine lied about it to justify the murder. Trump’s “justice” department refused to investigate Renee Good’s murder. Instead, they tried to investigate her family and friends, and to smear her. Her killer was hidden and... Read more

John Allen, Award Winning Vatican Reporter, Dies of Cancer

Last updated on: January 23, 2026 at 10:07 am By Rebecca Hamilton

John Allen, longtime Vatican correspondent and founder of CruxNow.com, died this week from stomach cancer. He was 61 years old. I followed his stories and bought his books. He was a trusted source of information. If John Allen reported it, you could be sure it was the truth. Pablo Kay, of Angelus News, said, For anyone with a remote interest in Catholic news — not to mention for readers of the news site he founded, CruxNow.com, and Angelus — the... Read more

Trump Says He Won’t Invade Greenland. Today.

Last updated on: January 26, 2026 at 8:47 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Evidently, Trump has decided that he’s going to take the use of military force off the table where Greenland is concerned … for today. Now, he says he wants to “negotiate” a settlement. If he’s talking about an agreement that Norway freely enters into for America to buy Greenland’s resources for a fair price, all I have to say is he could have done from day one. However, if he’s talking about one of his shows where he comes out... Read more

Archbishop: Morally acceptable to Disobey Immoral Orders

Last updated on: January 22, 2026 at 12:59 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, Archbishop of the Archdiocese for Military Services, says that it would be morally acceptable for American troops to disobey an order to invade Greenland. He said that he cannot see any circumstances in which an American military operation to take control of Greenland or another ally’s territory would fulfill the criteria for a just war. His comment was: “I am obviously worried, because they could be put in a situation where they’re being ordered to do something... Read more

People who Support Murder Don’t Belong at the Walk for Life

Last updated on: January 20, 2026 at 1:14 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

People who support the murder of Renee Good don’t have any business at the Walk for Life. Those who support Trump threatening a world war because the Nobel Committee didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize probably belong in a mental ward, but they ALSO don’t belong at the Walk for Life. People who think it’s A-OK for their Mad King to order America’s military to fire on shipwreck victims hanging off the side of a boat in the ocean... Read more

Catholic Cardinals Question Morality of Trump War Threats

Last updated on: January 19, 2026 at 11:09 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Three of America’s Catholic Cardinals have spoken out against Trump’s repeated threats of global war directed against — of all people — our stalwart allies Norway, England, France and the other NATO nations. Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington DC, and Joseph Tobin of New Jersey issued a joint statement based on Pope Leo’s recent address in which the Holy Father said that “war is back on vogue” and condemned “diplomacy based on force.” Their statement said...

Archbishop Coakley Meets Herod. Did He Speak for Christ?

Last updated on: January 22, 2026 at 12:58 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Archbishop Paul Coakley, the current president of the United States Coalition of Catholic Bishops, met with Donald Trump and JD Vance earlier this week. Archbishop Coakley is my archbishop. He’s an accessible, likable, gracious and very intelligent man. He’s also, at least in my estimation, a little bit naive about certain kinds of evil. The extreme right wing in this country has been working to co-opt the Catholic Church for a long time. They’ve already got the entire Evangelical arm... Read more

Is Murder Ok in America? The debate in song, sermon and News

Last updated on: January 14, 2026 at 11:52 am By Rebecca Hamilton

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. George Orwell, 1984 Sometimes you can say it best in a song. This video is from a retired Evangelical Pastor. He was active in the pro life movement, voted Republican and was every inch a conservative. But he was also a man of God with the eyes to see what Trump was from the start. He posts videos on YouTube, trying... Read more

You cannot follow both Jesus Christ and Donald Trump

Last updated on: January 15, 2026 at 5:14 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

The first murder I ever witnessed was when Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963. I was just a kid, old enough to know I had witnessed a murder, but young enough to be unable to really understand the full and final implications of that fact. My understanding that death was forever, that when someone died they were absolutely, permanently gone and wiped away from this earthly existence, was forming in my understanding, but it still wasn’t fully there....
