I went all winter and never got a cold. Now that the weather’s turning warm, it catches up with me. I’m taking a sick day today. I’m going to sleep, watch old movies on tv and get well. See you in a few. Rebecca Read more

The boys and girls in DC are doing their doo-dah, once again. It seems that Congress has labored and almost brought forth a bill. That in itself is newsworthy. Congress doesn’t make laws these days. It makes slander against anyone in the opposing political party that it can find to attack. By opposing party, I mean, of course, both of the political parties. Each political party is the opposing party to somebody. It seemed for a moment in political time that this... Read more
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 correct... Read more
“If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Harry Truman The New York Post has run a story using unnamed sources to identify President Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett as the source of the story about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of her home computer to conduct official business. The question has rapidly evolved into a “What was she hiding?” scenario that is the stuff media storms and political pilings on are made of. The resulting furor has... Read more

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
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...

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
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
