Statements on Today's Supreme Court Ruling on Religious Schools
1. Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding Today's Supreme Court Ruling on Religious Schools
We celebrate today's Supreme Court decision on religious schools, which removes one of the biggest obstacles to better educational opportunities for all children. States may no longer hide behind rules motivated by insidious bias against Catholics, known as Blaine Amendments, to exclude religious schools from public benefits. Laws that condition public benefits, like need-based academic scholarships, on religious status demonstrate state-sanctioned hostility to religion, pressure people and institutions to censor their religious views, and stigmatize disfavored religions. The Trump Administration believes that school choice is a civil rights issue, and that no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school. President Donald J. Trump will fight for school choice, and he will always defend our first freedom: the free exercise of religion. (Read more here)
2. Attorney General William P. Barr's Statement on the Supreme Court's Ruling in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue - Department of Justice
Attorney General William P. Barr has released the following statement: "We are pleased with the Supreme Court's decision today in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue. Montana's Blaine Amendment excluded religious schools from state scholarship programs that are open to other educational institutions. It thus prevented parents who send their children to religious schools from receiving scholarship funds that are available to the rest of the community. The Supreme Court concluded today that Montana's Blaine Amendment violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. The Court recognized that the Free Exercise Clause "condemns discrimination against religious schools and the families whose children attend them." As a result of the Court's decision, a state may no longer disqualify religious schools from scholarships or other programs "solely because they are religious."
The Court's decision represents an important victory for religious liberty and religious equality in the United States. As the Court explained, religious people are "members of the community too," and their exclusion from public programs because of their religion is "odious to our Constitution" and "cannot stand." We were pleased to see the Court agree with the Trump Administration that such blatant discrimination against religion has no place in our constitutional system." (Read more)
Focus on Israel
1. Health Ministry to Urge COVID-19 Lockdown in Dozens of Israeli Cities - Jewish Press
Israel's Health Ministry is compiling a list of dozens of cities, towns and villages in which it is intending to urge the government to impose a lockdown due to the exponential rise in cases of COVID-19, according to a report broadcast Tuesday evening by Channel 12 News.
At present, "red zones" still allow residents to leave their homes and when necessary, to enter or leave the restricted areas when need be for specific purposes.
However, the new upcoming lockdowns expected to be recommended by the Health Ministry are expected to be much tougher and tighter, although they will also be far narrower than were those during the first wave of the virus - focusing in on small neighborhoods or several streets, most likely.
Some of the areas under consideration according to the report include sections of Ashdod, Dimona, Kiryat Gat and Ramle.
2. PA Shuts Down Bethlem as COVID-19 Spreads - JOL
Bethlehem Governor Kamil Hmeid anounced a 48-hour closure in Bethlehem today in an effort to curb COVID-19. According to the Palestinian authorities, coronavirus restrictions are also being tightened in Hebron, which was closed last week for five days amid a sharp rise in new COVID-19 cases. Mass gatherings, including weddings, are being prohibited in Bethlehem and Hebron.
A sharp rise in coronavirus has been reported in the West Bank. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 67 new COVID-19 cases were reported on Saturday, 33 of them in the Bethlehem district. Overall, more than 1,860 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Palestine. At the start of June, the Palestinian authorities decided to reopen mosques to worshipers who are nonetheless required to follow some precautionary measures, such as wearing face masks and bringing extra prayer rugs. Public events and celebrations in mosques are still banned and children are not allowed.
3. Netanyahu to evangelicals: We have no greater friends - Israel Hayom
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Christian supporters of Israel in the US on Sunday in a video message during an annual conference of Christians United for Israel, an evangelical organization with millions of members in the United States.
"When I say we have no greater friends than Christian supporters of Israel, I know you've always stood with us," Netanyahu told the participants in the conference. "You stand with us because you stand with yourselves because we represent that common heritage of freedom that goes back thousands of years," he continued. "America has no better friend than Israel and Israel has no better friend than America, and Israel has no better friend in America than you."
Netanyahu repeated his call to the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table based on the Trump administration's peace plan, noting that "Israel is prepared for such negotiations." The prime minister said President Donald Trump's plan should be implemented, vowing to move forward with the parts that allow Israel to extend its sovereignty to certain Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, mentioning some of the areas that would fall see the move applied to them.
"In the president's plan, Israel will have sovereignty over Beit El, where Jacob dreamed of the ladder going to the heavens; Israel will have sovereignty over Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant that housed the Ten Commandments stood for centuries.
"These places are an integral part of the historic Jewish homeland . . . but also an integral part of Christian identity. There are part of your heritage. Part of our common civilization and under Israel sovereignty our common heritage will be forever protected."
4. Israeli UN Envoy Urges Security Council to Extend Iran Arms Embargo - The Algemeiner
Israel's UN envoy urged the Security Council on Sunday to extend it arms embargo on Iran. Ambassador Danny Danon warned that Iranian weaponry, "freely transported throughout the Middle East and used by armed militias and terrorist groups, poses a strategic threat not only to Israel, but to the entire region."
At the moment, the embargo - codified in Security Council Resolution 2231 - is set to expire on October 18.
Danon highlighted Iranian violations of the embargo, noting that Hezbollah - the Tehran regime's Shi'a terror proxy in Lebanon - possessed "more than 150,000 missiles and rockets that have the ability to attack the entire State of Israel."
5. Netanyahu delays sovereignty deadline after discussion with US - World Israel News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that discussions with the U.S. on his plan to extend sovereignty over Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria would continue "in the coming days," indicating he would miss a July 1 target date for beginning the process.
Netanyahu made the comments shortly after wrapping up talks with White House envoy Avi Berkowitz and the U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. The sides have been holding talks for several months on finalizing a map spelling out which areas of Judea and Samaria Israel will extend sovereignty over.
"I spoke about the question of sovereignty, which we are working on these days and we will continue to work on in the coming days," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu has been eager to begin the sovereignty process.
The Daily Brief
1. Fox Channel 'Glorifies' Notorious Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan - United With Israel
The Fox Corporation recently launched a new streaming channel called "Fox Soul TV," which announced it will feature notorious hate-preacher Louis Farrakhan in a July 4 address entitled "Message to America."
Farrakhan is a well-known anti-Semite who leads a group called the National of Islam, which has "maintained a consistent record of anti-Semitism and racism since its founding in the 1930s," according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
In one of Farrakhan's most recent anti-Semitic controversies, he referred to Jews as "termites." His comments earned him a ban from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
In response to the news that Fox will feature Farrakhan, Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Anti-Semitism, commented, "I can't imagine this isn't a terrible mistake by someone at Fox, because the mainstreaming of an unabashed racist and anti-Semite, the hate-filled Hitler of our time, does not ordinarily meet their standard of integrity." (Read more)
- Dear Lord, we come against this politically correct thinking in the name of Jesus. We come against this attack on the Jewish people. We pray that this new streaming channel will wither and die if it does not air programs of a nature more pleasing to God. We pray that the executives will rethink their plans and fill the new channel with choices that do not promote hatred and division. Lord, thank You for moving on this situation, and may no one else follow in their footsteps.
- "Those who hate you shall be clothed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing." (Job 8:22)
"For we know Him who said, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:30-31)
2. Israel orders evangelical Christian media network God TV to take channel off air - NBC News
Israel's regulator has ordered an evangelical Christian broadcaster's new channel off the air, saying it applied to serve a Christian audience but instead has sought to persuade Jews with the gospel of Jesus.
In a statement, the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council said its chairman, Asher Biton, told the Israeli cable provider Hot on Thursday that evangelical broadcaster God TV's channel Shelanu - which means "ours" in Hebrew - must come off the air in seven days.
"An examination of the council's supervision wing shows that the channel does not appeal to the Christian population in Israel, but rather to the Jews," the council said in a written statement. "Therefore, the characterization of the channel submitted for approval does not reflect its broadcasts."
The spokesman for Shelanu, Ron Cantor, Israel regional director for God TV, said it was false that the broadcaster had broken its agreement. (Read more)
- Father God, we appeal to You to intervene in this controversy and bring favor for this evangelical channel that wants to bring Your life to all people in Israel. We pray that this channel will be viewed as yet another friend and supporter of Israeli communities in a world where Israel has so many enemies. Thank You for making a way where they does not seem to be a way.
- "You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways." (Job 22:28)
3. Arizona orders bars and gyms to close for at least 30 days - The Hill
Arizona bars and gyms will be closed again for at least 30 days amid a spike in coronavirus cases in the state, Gov. Doug Ducey (R) announced Monday. Ducey ordered the monthlong pause, which also affects movie theaters, waterparks and tubing rentals, to go into effect at 8 p.m. on Monday.
The governor is also prohibiting gatherings of more than 50 people, effectively halting large events ahead of July 4. The first day of school for in-person learning will also be delayed until Aug. 17, according to the governor's announcement. (Read more)
- We continue to war against this virus of destruction. We ask you Jesus to cause it to self-destruct and have no effect against the human race, in Jesus name! We will not permit this thing to wreak havoc in our land and lives. We bind and rebuke it and command it to return to its pit and we release health, strength, and victory in the lives of every single person affected by this foul thing. We also pray comfort for those who have lost loved ones. Jesus, our very present help in time of need, touch hearts, please.
- "Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke." (Psalm 144:5)
4. White House threatens veto on Democrats' $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan - The Hill
President Trump threatened to veto House Democrats' $1.5 trillion green infrastructure plan on Monday, arguing it should eliminate or reduce environmental reviews and doesn't route enough money to rural America.
The bill contains billions to repair the nation's crumbling roads and bridges while setting aside funds for broadband, schools and hospitals. It would also require states to commit to reducing greenhouse gases and other climate measures in order to receive funding. But Republicans have branded it as an iteration of the Green New Deal crafted without their input. "This bill is problematic for several reasons. It is heavily biased against rural America. It also appears to be entirely debt-financed. And it fails to tackle the issue of unnecessary permitting delays, which are one of the most significant impediments to improving our infrastructure," the White House wrote in a statement of administrative policy, saying the bill "is full of wasteful 'Green New Deal' initiatives." (Read more)
- Father, we ask you to embolden our President and Republican Congress to stand for all that is right, just and in alignment with our Constitution. May every new deal that comes forth with socialist ideology attached to it, fall utterly to the ground in defeat. Let this nation take a strong stand for everything that is honorable in providing for all of our citizens and culture.
- ". . . Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:13b-14)
5. Judge Sets Trial Date for Four Officers Charged in George Floyd Killing - DML News
A Hennepin County judge on Monday set a tentative trial date of March 8 for the four former police officers charged in the killing of George Floyd, and warned that any continued statements by public officials on the matter could force a change of venue.
Separately, one of the four officers, J. Alexander Kueng, filed a document stating he intends to plead not guilty, claiming self-defense and saying that his use of force was both reasonable and authorized. None of the other officers have entered a plea.
A hearing has been set for Sept. 11 to hear motions for matters such as change of venue or number of trials: one or four. The judge said that March 8 would either be 'the start of a joint trial or the first of four separate trials," WSJ reports. (Read more)
- Father please expose any false narratives in the Floyd death. Let there be no further violence from this event and let there be no loopholes to release any guilty part. May truth come to light and biblical justice come forth.
- "Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you." (Deut. 16:20)
6. Centrist Amy McGrath keeps liberal challenger Charles Booker at bay in Democratic Kentucky Senate primary - Washington Examiner
Democrat Amy McGrath will take on Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his Kentucky Senate seat in November after Charles Booker waged a closer-than-expected primary challenge from the Left.
Booker's 39,407-vote lead on McGrath in Kentucky's urban centers of Louisville and Lexington were not enough to overcome the centrist former Marine fighter pilot's rural advantage. The Associated Press called the race Tuesday nearly a week after polls closed in Kentucky.
McGrath, 45, was the early favorite in the race to represent Kentucky in the Senate, earning establishment support from the likes of the Senate Democrats' campaign arm and raising $41 million over the course of her bid. (Read more)
- We ask that the body of Christ will rise up and vote. We will no longer be silent or deceived. Let the righteous be obedient and vote according to Your direction. Lord, reverse and expose all the schemes of the enemy.
- "Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power . . ." (Psalm 110:3 NASB)
7. Anthony Fauci Warns: Pig-Bound Virus in China Could Cause Another Pandemic - Brietbart
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified Tuesday that an emerging virus found in pigs in China shares traits with the 2009 Swine Flu and 1918 Pandemic Flu, and U.S. public health officials are monitoring the disease.
Fauci, a White House coronavirus task force member, explained before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee that the virus - known as "G4 EA H1N1," - doesn't appear to infect humans, however, it has shown "reassortment capabilities."
"In other words, when you get a brand new virus that turns out to be a pandemic virus it's either due to mutations and/or the reassortment or exchanges of genes," he stated. "And they're seeing virus in swine, in pigs now, that have characteristics of the 2009 H1N1, of the original 1918, which many of our flu viruses have remnants of that in it, as well as segments from other hosts like swine." (Read more)
- Father, we declare that no further virus will be released and we stand against all negative statements made regarding an additional virus. We speak faith and not fear.
- "No evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague shall come near your dwelling."(Psalm 91:10 )
8. Ocasio-Cortez: $1B Cut to NYPD Isn't Enough, 'Disingenuous Illusion' - Brietbart
Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday slammed an agreement to slash $1 billion from the budget of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), declaring the decision is "not a victory" and that "the fight to defund policing continues."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and the City Council struck a tentative deal to cut $1 billion from the NYPD's budget by moving school safety services to the city's Department of Education, according to the Gotham Gazette.
On Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez slammed the tentative deal in a pointed statement: "Defunding the police means defunding the police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education budget so that the exact same police remain in schools." (Read more)
- May AOC's constituents (and voters across the U.S.) wake up and smell the malodorous mess before criminal behavior, with no police remedy, comes knocking at their doors. Lord remove blinders from the voters' eyes that prevent them from seeing that Alexandria does not have their best interests at heart. Have mercy, Lord; please replace evil leaders with those who have a heart to serve You and the people.
- "I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, Because they do not keep Your word."(Psalm 119:158)
9. Jim Banks: 'Certainly Possible' Intelligence Swamp Leaked Russian Bounty Story to Keep U.S. in Afghanistan - Brietbart
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) told Breitbart News Tonight the New York Times story alleging a Russian military spy unit paying Taliban-linked militants to kill Americans is the swamp's way of fighting back against President Donald Trump's America First agenda, including putting an end to America's longest war.
The New York Times reported on Friday a Russian military spy unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militias for killing U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Banks, a veteran who served in Afghanistan and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said that he had received a briefing from the White House on the Times' story. He said that we might never know the truth about the New York Times story because the paper damaged national security officials' ability to investigate the claim. (Read more)
- Father, we may not know the truth in this situation, but You certainly do! We ask for Your wisdom for President Trump and his staff, regarding our presence in Afghanistan; and reveal the source(s) of the duplicity within the intel agencies. Guard and guide our personnel in Afghanistan, and we look forward to that time when You will bring our brave soldiers home to us.
- In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds. (Psalm 45:4)
10. L.A. Lakers star LeBron James has launched a new media empire with $100 million in investor backing, that is "designed to move the culture." - Bloomberg
James and long-time business partner Maverick Carter quietly launched SpringHill Co. in March, but more details about the effort are now being reported. Bloomberg, for instance, noted the $100 million in funding last week.
James told Bloomberg that SpringHill will be unapologetically political in its aims and will be "a maker and distributor of all kinds of content that will give a voice to creators and consumers who've been pandered to, ignored, or underserved." (Read more)
- Lord God, we pray for Lebron James and other celebrities using their platform to promote social justice and transformation that you would remove from them their heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. Encourage them through your spirit to repent and use their platform to spread truthful and unifying messages instead of decisive ones. We also pray for our young impressionable youth that they would not be swayed by the divisive messages coming from celebrities and athletes alike. In Jesus name amen.
- Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. (Ephesians 5:6)

Supreme Court unlikely to end abortion
This is not what you want to hear: The Supreme Court is unlikely to overturn Roe vs Wade. America has lost more than a generation of preborn citizens since the decision to legalize abortion in 1973. The precedent of previous courts all the way back to 1973 is going to be a huge factor, as indicated by Chief Justice John Roberts' words in the very latest case. In joining the pro-abortion liberal judges, Roberts wrote that the decision to strike down a Louisiana law requiring abortion performing doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals was "controlled by our decision four years ago invalidating a nearly identical Texas law." Essentially, Roberts telegraphed that reversing Roe vs Wade is unlikely.
While not joining the SCOTUS liberals in their majority opinion, Roberts was the swing vote siding with those who wish to keep infanticide legal. In his concurrence with the decision, Roberts wrote: "The legal doctrine of stare decisis requires us, absent special circumstances, to treat like cases alike. The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons. Therefore, Louisiana's law cannot stand under our precedents." Stare decisis is the legal doctrine of adhering to principles established by decisions in earlier cases. This means that once a determination on a law is established, it would take extraordinary circumstances to overturn it.
When Roberts was asked during his confirmation hearings in 2005 whether he would follow the doctrine of stare decisis, he answered in the affirmative. In responding to a question from Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA), he replied, "there is nothing in my personal view based on faith or other sources that would prevent me from applying the precedents of the court faithfully in accord with the principles of stare decisis." Later, Roberts reiterated: "My faith and my religious beliefs do not play a role in my judging. I look to the law. I do not look to the Bible or other religious books." I remember discussing this with several prominent religious and political leaders at the time. They said Roberts was just playing to the liberal Democrats to get confirmed. Not so. At the time, many of us believed that Roberts meant what he said. And it is showing now.
States should continue passing laws that restrict abortions. The result of the law in Louisiana was mentioned by Justice Stephen Breyer in his majority opinion: "Approximately 10,000 women obtain abortions in Louisiana each year. At the outset of this litigation, those women were served by six doctors at five abortion clinics. By the time the [district] court rendered its decision, two of those clinics had closed, and one of the doctors had retired." States need to continue their creative approach toward ending abortion because the Supreme Court will not likely do it. Meantime, the church must continue to find loving and nonjudgmental ways to educate about and provide alternatives to abortion. Changing hearts is important. As in Galatians 6:9, "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."

THE RAPID BRIGHTENING OF COMET NEOWISE
Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) is passing by the sun this week-and it's looking good. The comet just experienced a sharp increase in brightness recorded by coronagraphs onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). Click to play a 4-day movie of the surge.
"During the transit, Comet NEOWISE increased in brightness from magnitude +4 to +1.8-an almost 8-fold jump," says planetary scientist Qicheng Zhang of Caltech, who analyzed the images. "If the comet maintains this brightness, it will be visible to the naked eye when it emerges from the sun's glare in July."
Zhang is a bit concerned, however, that the rapid brightening might be too much of a good thing. "When a comet brightens this quickly (2.2 magnitudes in only ~4 days) it could be a sign that the nucleus is unstable. Comet NEOWISE might yet disintegrate," he cautions.
It wouldn't be the first time. Earlier this year two comets, ATLAS (C/2019 Y4) and SWAN (C/2020 F8), approached the sun with much fanfare, then disintegrated before they could become naked-eye objects.
Will Comet NEOWISE end the same way?
"I don't think so," says Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab in Washington DC. "Comet NEOWISE looks healthy to me. Throughout its passage across the coronagraph, the comet showed a smooth-and-steady brightness increase, perhaps a little steeper than we might like, but nothing that makes me enormously concerned for its health, as long as it has a reasonably large nucleus."
We'll soon find out. "Later this week, around perihelion (closest approach to the sun) the comet may be observable by skilled astronomers low in the morning twilight," says Zhang. "If it maintains anything close to its brightness as it left SOHO's field of view, it will most likely be recovered from the ground by then."
Any sightings this week could be very good news, indeed. As July unfolds, the comet will swing around the sun and pop up in the evening sky-perfectly placed for casual sky watchers if anything remains to be seen. Stay tuned for updates. (Spaceweather.com) Read more.

7,000 Christians Cried Out to God in the Streets of San Diego For America
It's supposed to be one country under God and we need to start living that out and learn how to serve one another and love each other instead of everyone fighting for their way, and I pray that this will be the start of that." - Pastor Miles McPherson
7,000 Christians filled the streets of San Diego praying for their nation, America. While 8,500 people tuned in the online broadcast services amounting to more than 15,000 crying out to God. Pastor Miles McPherson took prayers as his weapon in battling against chaos and political confusion in the country. The senior pastor of Rock Church based in San Diego gathered his members and partnered with other 135 churches and 148 pastors leading to start a movement called "We Pray San Diego".
In the streets of San Diego
On June 20, the gathering flooded 11 locations in the city, including San Diego, Oceanside, San Marcos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Chula Vista, Spring Valley, San Carlos and Santee. Prostrating, lifting their hands and kneeling down before God, it literally pictures a city on its knees.
For one hour, they sang praises and laid hands for prayer to strangers. Together, they all cried out for healing, peace, joy and unity to pour out in the community.
