View this email in your browser Legislative Snapshot United We Stand                                 July 20, 2024 BREAKING! To no one’s surprise, the International Court of “Justice” in The Hague (ICJ) ruled on Friday that Israel’s policies in our ancient homelands of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem are illegal and against international law. Furthermore, the ICJ said Israel is illegally exploiting the natural resources of the region. The ruling is non-binding. Israeli responses were immediate in denouncing the ruling. Netanyahu's response; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “The Jewish people are not conquerors in their own land - neither in our eternal capital Jerusalem nor in the land of our ancestors in Judea and Samaria. No false decision in The Hague will distort this historical truth and likewise the legality of Israeli settlement in all the territories of our homeland cannot be contested.” (Source: JNS.org) Read more here.

Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story  Major US carriers restore some flight operations amid global cyber outage  July 19 (Reuters) - Top U.S. carriers including Delta Air (DAL.N), opens new tab and United Airlines (AAL.O) , opens new tab are restoring some operations on Friday after a technical issue related to an IT vendor forced multiple carriers to ground flights.

We ask that You release Your wisdom to the tech specialists who are even now working to resolve this tangled issue. And we ask, too, for grace for those travelers who are literally "stuck" in place. May their needs be met, in Your Name, Abba. Amen. - "Ask and ye shall receive . . ." (Matthew 7:7)  Top Story #2 Congress denied access to crucial Trump protection plan  Congress was denied access to the integral Ops Report that details the protection plan for former President Trump's rally, according to a lawmaker who was at Wednesday's FBI briefing and spoke to Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity. Paul Mauro, an attorney and retired NYPD inspector, said the Ops Report "should detail who was supposed to cover the area of the roof that (Thomas Matthew) Crooks fired from." "If there was no Ops Plan done, or if it didn't cover that rooftop, whoever signed off on it failed badly," Mauro said.  The detailed, written plan was in the hands of the FBI as of Thursday afternoon, according to Mauro, who said the information came from a source "I absolutely, 100% trust." The FBI declined to comment. (Fox News) Read more here  - Father, we ask that all truth be revealed over this horrific situation. Let no stone be unturned, nor lies be hidden from view. We pray for full accountability to all who may have done something deliberate that placed President Trump in danger. - “For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.”  (Luke 8:17)  Top Story #3 Democrat godfathers make Biden offer they hope he can't refuse   Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic Party commission seem prepared to make Joe Biden an offer he can’t refuse: One way or another, he’s dropping out of this race, they say, either with his consent or with his legacy destroyed. Just when Biden thought his candidacy was safe, after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump quieted talk of a swap at the top of the ticket, they pulled him back in, and now the pundits tell us that his campaign won’t survive the weekend. We’ll see. For the bosses of the Democrat family, ending Biden’s political career is a three-step process. First they ask him to leave, then they tell him to leave, and finally they threaten to destroy him if he won't wise up. We are almost at step three. . . . Finally, there is the 25th amendment, the ultimate play, in which Democrats would remove Biden from office, his legacy in tatters. He would be the only president ever kicked out of office for losing his marbles. (Fox News) Read more here.  - Lord God, we pray much in the Spirit over this report, even as we give You thanks that our Founding Fathers saw fit to insert the 25th Amendment into the Constitution of the United States of America. - "For such a time as this . . ." (Esther 4:14)   Top Story #4 White House: Biden expecting to meet Netanyahu next week  WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden expects to be able to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week depending on his recovery from COVID-19, the White House said on Thursday. Netanyahu will be in Washington next week for a July 24 address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress. The two governments have tentatively scheduled a meeting between Biden and Netanyahu on Monday. Vice President Kamala Harris will also meet Netanyahu while he is in Washington, a White House official said. Biden, under pressure from some fellow Democratsto not seek reelection due to a disastrous debate performance against Republican Donald Trump on June 27, tested positive on Wednesday for COVID-19 and is recuperating at his beach house in Delaware. His current plan is to return to Washington on Sunday. (Read more here)  - Father God, we acknowledge that You are in control of the affairs of men. As the Prime Minister of Israel visits our nation's capital next week, we pray that only Your will shall be done. Thank You that P.M. Netanyahu will address the Joint Session of Congress. We trust You for only good outcomes to emerge from these talks -- ones that will bless Israel and strengthen her hand in the war she is fighting now. In Your Name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen. - "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."    (Matt. 6:10) Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests: M 7/15 (PDF) • Th 7/18 (PDF) Senate — News M 7/15/2024 — Record PDF • Summary Th 7/18/2024 — Record PDF • Summary House — Legislation: New: 57 (R, D) — News M 7/15/2024 — Record PDF, Extensions PDF • Activity Th 7/18/2024 — Record PDF, Extensions PDF • Activity Congress Last Week Military — Committees: Senate, House Joint Chiefs chairman says it would be 'great' if Trump ends Russia-Ukraine war quickly Fourth Amendment Cantwell says she’ll cut path for privacy bill despite opposition Executive — Committees: House, Senate Mike Johnson vows accountability for Trump assassination attempt • Johnson: The House Will Get to the Bottom of the Assassination Attempt • Secret Service and FBI finish briefing Congress, lay out timeline of assassination attempt: report Speaker Johnson: President Biden Must Fire Director Cheatle • says he's looking at options if Secret Service director doesn’t resign Senate Minority Leader McConnell calls for new Secret Service leadership Grassley launches probe into Secret Service policies after Trump assassination attempt WH: Letter to the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate on the Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations WH: Letter to the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate on the Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of United States Nationals Abroad Commerce Policy — Committees: Senate, House Senators left and right want to know why AT&T retained months of detailed records of customer communication Congress — Committees: House, Senate Texas Democratic Rep.
