1. Israel's Biggest Security Threat: 80,000 Buildings in Danger of Collapsing - Jerusalem Online
There are 80,000 buildings in Israel that are in danger of collapsing in the face of a serious earthquake in Israel, Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction Jackie Levy told on Monday.
Levy issued a statement on the urgency of the issue, after northern Israel experienced dozens of earthquakes over the past few days.
Levy says he has been fighting for greater action on this issue for several years, and that while his ministry had budgeted NIS 60 million every year for the last three years to reinforce buildings, that is only "a drop in the ocean."

2. Netanyahu meets with Putin at Kremlin - Israel National News
Prime Minister Netanyahu today, Wednesday, met at the Kremlin in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin and made the following remarks at the start of the meeting:
"I would like to compliment you on the very successful World Cup that Russia is organizing. The entire world is watching with great interest, including us in Israel, and I must say I am as well. So thank you for the invitation to watch the game later this evening.
Of course you mentioned the moving parade in honor of the victory over the Nazis, which was a great event that made an impression in Israel and I think around the Jewish world.
Every visit such as this is an opportunity for us to work together to try to stabilize the situation in our region, increase security and increase stability.
It is clear that our focus is on Syria and Iran. Our view that Iran needs to leave Syria is well-known; it is not new to you.

3. IDF attacks Syrian military posts - Israel National News
The IDF targeted three military posts in Syria overnight Wednesday, in response to the infiltration of the Syrian UAV that was intercepted by the IDF earlier in the day.
"The IDF will continue to operate determinedly and decisively against any attempt to breach Israeli sovereignty and will act against any attempt to hurt its civilians," said the IDF Spokesperson's Unit in a statement.
"The IDF holds the Syrian regime accountable for the actions carried out in its territory and warns it from further action against Israeli forces."

4. IDF thwarts Palestinian attempt to breach Gaza naval blockade - World Israel News
On Tuesday, the IDF stopped a Palestinian boat that attempted to breach Israel's naval blockade, which creates a six nautical mile limit off the Gazan coast beyond which Palestinian boats are prohibited from sailing. Tuesday's attempt marks the second try in the past two months to break the blockade.
The army arrested 8 of the vessel's 10 passengers, which included individuals involved in the violent Hamas-led riots on the Gaza border organized under the "March of Return" banner.
The boat was purportedly heading for Cyprus, but it lacked necessary equipment to reach the destination, indicating that the mission's true aim may have been to draw media attention as part of the Palestinians' propaganda strategy.
"The vessel was seized without incident," announced the IDF in a subsequent statement.
According to the Israeli military, the naval blockade is "a necessary and legal security measure" to protect its Israeli citizens "in the face of terror and smuggling weapons."

5. Israeli spacecraft set for historic moon landing in coming months - World Israel News
The SpaceIL organization announced Tuesday that it will be sending a small, unmanned spacecraft to the moon in December, with an expected landing date of February 13, 2019.
It will be launched on a SpaceX missile from Cape Canaveral, Florida, which will release its history-making cargo 60,000 kilometers from the moon. The spaceship will go around the Earth in an ever-widening, elliptical orbit that will eventually enable it to cross paths with the moon.
At that point, it is supposed to fire its engines in order to slow down and get into a lunar orbit, eventually landing gently on the rocky surface.
"It's a small, smart spaceship," said SpaceIL CEO Dr. Ido Anteby. "It's a meter and a half by two meters, and will weigh 600 kg. at takeoff. Most of its weight is fuel, and when it lands it will [only] weigh 180 kg. It will be in contact with ground stations all over the world; we'll be in radio contact with it throughout its trip."
Its first task will be to plant an Israeli flag on the surface and then take still pictures and video. It is expected that the "mission" will wrap up in a mere two days.

1. Evangelical Group Seeks Clarification From Kavanaugh on Their Concerns, No Plans to Fight His Supreme Court Nomination - CBN News
"Judge Kavanaugh's reasoning on religious liberty, Obamacare, and issues concerning life have proven to be of major concern," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. Specifically, the AFA cites Kavanaugh's judicial opinion regarding the 2014 case involving the Christian group, Priests for Life, who argued that Obamacare's contraception mandate would violate the very reason for its existence.
"Although Judge Kavanaugh decided correctly in court case Priests for Life v. US Dep't of Health & Human Services, he wrote a moderate opinion disagreeing with the Priests on a foundational constitutional religious liberty principle," the AFA wrote in a statement on its website. "Judge Kavanaugh unnecessarily conceded in his opinion that the government has a compelling interest to force religious organizations to provide contraceptives and abortifacients for employees. Kavanaugh's concession created a dangerous precedent," the group warned.
However, on Tuesday, the group posted the following statement on their website: "AFA has opposed the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S Supreme Court for some very valid reasons. We are deeply concerned about how he might ultimately rule on issues related to abortion and religious liberty. For these reasons, we consider this nomination to represent a four-star appointment when it could have been five-star," the statement read. "However, after hearing the concerns of some of our supporters, and after hearing the passionate defense of Judge Kavanaugh by many we consider to be friends in the pro-life movement, we are willing to let this process play out. We eagerly await the confirmation hearings when we hope to get clarification from Judge Kavanaugh on aspects related to our concerns." (Read more)
- Father, we continue to lift up this Supreme Court vacancy and pray for the right person to be confirmed by the Senate.
- So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. (Luke 11:2)
2. Trump Is Cutting Off Big Labor From Skimming Americans' Medicaid Payments And Unions Are Furious - Daily Caller
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is blistering at a proposed regulation that would prevent the union from siphoning fees from American workers' Medicaid payments. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a proposed rule Tuesday that would require Medicaid payments to go directly to healthcare workers, ending a 2014 Obama-era rule that let third parties, such as unions and insurance companies, skim off a share of the paycheck before the worker saw any of it.
Though the Obama rule legalizing the practice went into effect in 2014, unions have been skimming money from Medicaid payments for nearly two decades, according to Freedom Foundation director for labor policy Maxford Nelson. The practice has netted unions billions of dollars from public-sector home healthcare workers forced to pay union dues or "agency fees" equivalent to 85 percent of a dues payment to cover the cost of representation for non-members.
"It is very heartening to see this administration taking the first practical steps to stop states and unions from deducting money from the Medicaid checks of home caregivers serving our society's disabled and elderly," Nelson told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. "This illegal and exploitive practice has victimized hundreds of thousands of caregivers. It has only been allowed to persist because it generated significant funds for a politically-connected special interest group." The Supreme Court ruled in June that "agency fees" violated public-sector employees' right to free speech for forcing them to subsidize government lobbying, in the form of union representatives negotiating with government officials, that they did not agree with. (Read more)
- Praise You, Lord, for continuing to set the oppressed free! We pray these homecare workers will receive full payment for their labor and not be pressured to join or support unions anymore.
- For Scripture says, "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages." (1 Timothy 5:18)
3. Senate steps forward on paid family leave after more than a year of work with Ivanka Trump - Washington Examiner
Senators are coming together to examine ideas on paid family leave Wednesday, encouraged along by the support of first daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump. A key Senate panel is holding a hearing to weigh some of the ideas currently on the table following 17 months of talks between Trump and lawmakers. While Democrats have long supported paid family leave, Republicans in recent months have shown growing interest, even though the parties still disagree on policy details.
The hearing, according to Trump, "represents an incredibly important opportunity for Congress to work across the aisle and advance a national paid family leave plan that supports American families and the American workforce."
"We are in a unique place right now in that Republicans are at the table and embracing this idea," a senior White House official said, adding later, "For something to pass it's going to have to be bipartisan legislation, so let's look at the various innovative approaches." The hearing, held by the Subcommittee on Social Security, Pensions, and Family Policy, part of the Senate Finance Committee, is the first time in almost four years that a Senate panel has raised the issue.
One of the soon-to-be-unveiled ideas comes from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and would allow parents to draw from their Social Security benefits early and then defer their retirement benefits. Thirty-two Senate Democrats support a different proposal offering paid family leave through payroll taxes paid for by employees, similar to laws on the books in California, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for a family leave plan that will truly support our families in their time of greatest need. Help the legislators also implement safeguards so this plan will not become another unfunded entitlement.
- But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. (1 Timothy 5:4)
4. 569 House-passed bills await action in the Senate - The Hill
The House has sent 768 bills to the Senate this Congress, and 569 of them have yet to pass the upper chamber. The numbers, compiled by Quorum, a Washington, D.C.-based legislative data analytics platform, have frustrated President Trump and House Republicans. In June of last year, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said, "If we accomplish our campaign promises, it'll be the most productive presidency and Congress in our lifetime."
While the GOP passed a sweeping tax-cut bill, it has fallen short on repealing ObamaCare, reducing the deficit and releasing an infrastructure package. House Republicans have repeatedly pointed out that they passed a health-care bill, but the effort failed in the Senate. They also note that there are many other House-passed measures that the Senate could clear. It's unlikely that many of the bills will clear the Senate this year. Any measure that doesn't become law in the coming months will die at the end of the Congress and have to be reintroduced in 2019.
Despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) decision to cancel some of the August recess, the upper chamber's focus is on approving Trump's nominations. Senate GOP sources note the upper chamber faces a different set of obstacles than the House, with the majority of bills requiring a 60-vote threshold to pass. There are 51 Republicans now serving in the Senate. (Read more)
- Father, we know our nation needs many of these bills to move through the Senate and be signed by the President. We pray the Republican leadership will prioritize the most important and schedule them for a vote.
- You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps. (Exodus 40:4)
5. The DOJ Has Lost All Credibility - Canada Free Press
In typical Washington fashion, when there is a major decision made that the "Deep State" wants to go away as quietly as possible, the details are released just before a major holiday. Such was the case with the unbelievable plea deal reached with Imran Awan, a Pakistani-American dual citizen who has been linked to a major spy ring on Capitol Hill.
According to an article in the Washington Post on 04 July, 2018, "it's part of an agreement with prosecutors, Imran Awan pleaded guilty to a relatively minor offense unrelated to his work on Capitol Hill, making a false statement on a loan application." It went on to state, "the government has uncovered no evidence," including stealing equipment or illegally accessing or transferring information, prosecutors wrote in an 11-page plea agreement signed on 3 July, 2018.
Therefore, everybody gets to "walk free" including the 44 Democratic Representatives who employed the Awan family, even including their main sponsor, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Clearly, the Awan family repeatedly accessed unauthorized classified data, but the DOJ prosecutors could find no such evidence. It defies logic and common sense. There has to be much more to this story. This is more than incompetence, it borders on criminal cover-up and must serve as a clear wake-up call for the President. The top management of the DOJ, including the FBI, must be replaced asap. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for the mighty wind of Your Holy Spirit to clean out our government agencies, removing every person and process that leads to miscarriages of justice.
-Whoever says to the guilty, "You are innocent," will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. (Proverbs 24:24)
6. Pompeo Accuses Iran of Using Embassies to Plot Europe Terror Attacks - Breitbart
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday Iran is using its embassies to plot terrorist attacks in Europe and warned Tehran that its actions will have consequences after it threatened to disrupt Mideast oil supplies. Mr. Pompeo spoke as he wound up a short trip to the United Arab Emirates, a staunch U.S. ally, and as senior U.S. officials were wrapping up three days of talks in neighboring Saudi Arabia centered on Iran. "The one that we are most focused on today is that we deny Iran the financial capacity to continue this bad behavior," Mr. Pompeo said. "So it's a broad range, a series of sanctions aimed not at the Iranian people, but rather aimed at the single mission of convincing the Iranian regime that its malign behavior is unacceptable and has a real high cost for them."
Mr. Pompeo pointed to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his recent threats over the Strait of Hormuz, through which a third of all oil traded by sea passes. While in Europe last week, Rouhani said any disruption to Iran's oil exports would result in the whole region's exports being disrupted. Iran "should know that America is committed to keeping sea lines open, keeping the transit of oil available for the entire world," Mr. Pompeo said. "That's the commitment we have had for decades. We continue under that commitment." (Read more)
- Father, we pray the European nations will heed this warning from Secretary Pompeo and remove these threats from their nations. We also pray European nations will come to see Israel as an ally in this war on civilization.
- All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. (Matthew 25:32)
7. Trump administration announces list of tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods - CNBC
The Trump administration on Tuesday released a list of 10 percent tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods, making good on the president's recent threats to escalate a broadening trade war with Beijing. The tariffs will not go into effect immediately but will undergo a two-month review process, with hearings Aug. 20-23. When compiling the list of goods, the U.S. Trade Representative took into account what could cause disruptions to China's economy. The official said the administration has been extremely clear to China in terms of its concerns about trade, but China has been unresponsive.
"For over a year, the Trump Administration has patiently urged China to stop its unfair practices, open its market, and engage in true market competition," U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement.
"Rather than address our legitimate concerns, China has begun to retaliate against U.S. products," he added. The list of new sanctions follows warnings by Trump that he may implement tariffs on at least $500 billion in Chinese goods should Beijing retaliate against the $34 billion in U.S. tariffs that kicked in Friday. (Read more)
- Father, we pray these tariffs will pressure China to change our trading relationship, making it more fair and reciprocal.
- If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever. (Proverbs 29:14)
8. Mexico's incoming president to meet with Trump son-in-law - Yahoo
Leftist President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is enjoying a bit of a honeymoon with U.S. President Donald Trump, and he was effusive Tuesday in praising the U.S. leader's restraint in not bringing up his proposed border wall. Instead of confrontational talk, Lopez Obrador will get a visit by Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, and U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo on Friday. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen also will be at the meeting at Lopez Obrador' campaign headquarters.
"I thank him a lot, I say so sincerely, for the respectful treatment we have received from President Trump and the U.S. government," Lopez Obrador said. "We are interested in having a good relationship with the people and government of the United States." Lopez Obrador, who is to take office Dec. 1, called Friday's meeting "very good news." He said immigration, development and the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement will be the principle topics.
Lopez Obrador said he wants the U.S. to join in an "alliance for progress" to bring development and jobs to Mexico and Central America, a call that hearkened back to President John F. Kennedy's program launched in 1961. "What we want, from Panama to the northern border of Mexico and the United States to the Rio Bravo is for the people to have opportunities for jobs," he said. "That's our central focus." The Trump administration may be more interested in getting Mexico to agreeing to be considered a "safe third country," meaning asylum seekers from Central America would have to apply for refuge in Mexico rather than at the U.S. border. (Read more)
- Father, we pray this meeting with AMLO will be very successful. We ask You to answer his desire - for the establishment of peace and prosperity throughout the Americas (North, Central and South).
- Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us. (Isaiah 26:12)
9. DHS Refuses to 'Reunite' Children with Adults Who Aren't Their Parents - Breitbart
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) held a joint call Tuesday to announce their efforts to comply with a June 26 federal court ruling mandating children under five years old in HHS custody be "reunited" with parents if they were separated at the border. U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw, in response to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawsuit, set a July 10 deadline to reunite the families and refused to provide additional time for the government to use DNA testing to determine if the people in question are even the 102 identified children's parents.
Nevertheless, the government, in its Tuesday "Joint Status Report" notes that in at least 14 of the 102 children's cases, they will not be "reuniting" them with parents because the adults in question are either not actually their parents, have been convicted of serious crimes, including rape and murder, or have been credibly accused of child abuse. The government will not place children with adults without completing these checks. "Let me be clear: HHS could have transferred every child out of our care to a parent who is currently in DHS custody today if we did not take into account child safety or whether the adult is actually the parent," HHS Chief of Staff Chris Meekins, told reporters. (Read more)
- Father, we pray our court system will not be used to enable wicked people to exploit children. We ask for good judges to protect the innocent and hold those who harm children accountable.
- We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers-and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine. (1 Timothy 1:8-10)

No time to sit back
As the mainstream media continues its quest to undermine the current President, and the deep-state and Democratic Party work overtime to tarnish all things that do not agree with their godless, globalist agenda, this is no time to sit back and breathe easy. Mid-term elections will be upon us sooner than you think. While the president's party traditionally loses Congressional seats during mid-term elections, this fall's elections are more important than ever. The opposition spews forth words like impeachment, and want to stall judicial appointments. This is no time to disengage. The last election demonstrated the power of the Christian vote. Christ is the answer to this dark and dying world, and you are his vessel.
You have a calling. And much bad doctrine has been taught about this. The Holy Scriptures say in Romans 8:28 "that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." It's not your purpose, but "HIS" purpose. Romans 11:29 says that "the gifts and calling of God are unchangeable." So when people are saying that you have to find your calling, it is really understanding that you are called "not according to our works, but according to his own purpose (2 Timothy 1:9)." Christ is our example. He is the way the truth and the life. He showed us how to engage according to his purpose. It takes courage to conduct Christ's purpose in this world, in this country today.
Psalm 31:24 says, "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD." As Christians, our hope is in the Lord. We are to be ever watching for his return. As Galatians 6:9 says, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." And Jesus promises in Matthew 10:22, "And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved." We, as Christians, are not to stand by and allow evil to advance just because we have read the end of the book and we win. We are to not be overcome with evil, but to overcome evil with good. The Lord says to be of good courage and that his gifts will never change--you are equipped.
2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." We are reminded that it isn't easy in 2 Corinthians 4:8,9: "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed..." Verse 6 tells us, "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." We should not fear man. Man cannot take our soul. So we need to take heart during these times. Have courage. Put on the full armor of God and speak boldly as we ought to speak. And having done all, stand.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

North Dakota Tornado Kills Newborn, Injures Dozens
A tornado packing winds up to 127 mph ripped through a North Dakota recreational vehicle park overnight Monday, destroying or damaging hundreds of structures, killing an newborn and injuring dozens, some critically.
The National Weather Service in Bismarck said the tornado was an EF2 after assessing damage at the Prairie View RV Park in Watford City, North Dakota. That damage included 122 structures "completely destroyed" and 199 others sustaining some form of damage, the McKenzie County Sheriff's Office said.
Officials said 28 people were injured after the tornado hit just after midnight. Nine of the 28 were said to be critically injured, with some flown as far away as Fargo to receive treatment, KFGO reports.
One of those injured was a 7-day-old infant boy, who later died from injuries sustained in the tornado after being transferred to a hospital with advanced life support services. The boy's family has not released his name at this time.
Residents of Prairie View described being sent airborne in their homes by the tornado.
"My dog was with me and the next thing you knew the storm picked up my camper and slammed it on the ground. It felt like we were weightless," resident Clifford Bowen said.
"We're going to die. That's what I thought. We're going to die," resident Krystal Lapp said. "[We felt the] house rock and shake, and felt the house go up and felt it slam and then we rolled about three times."
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Lieutenant Gov. Brent Sanford both toured the destruction Tuesday. Sanford, the former mayor of Watford City, called the damage "mind-boggling".
"The extent of the damage here is devastating and mindboggling, with RVs utterly flattened and destroyed," Sanford told KXMB. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those injured and displaced by this tornado." (The Weather Channel) Read more.
- Father, we agree with the prayers being uttered today by the Governor of the State of North Dakota for his people. May each one know the comfort of our Comfort, in their time of need, amen.
- "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." (John 14:16)
"I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke." (Acts 2:19)

"Jonah's Whale" Found? Bones Reveal Extinct Whales That Ventured Close to Shore in Mediterranean Sea
England)-[University of York] Two thousand years ago the Mediterranean Sea was a haven for two species of whale which have since virtually disappeared from the North Atlantic, a new study analyzing ancient bones suggests.
The discovery of the whale bones in the ruins of a Roman fish processing factory located at the strait of Gibraltar also hints at the possibility that the Romans may have hunted the whales.
Prior to the study, by an international team of ecologists, archaeologists and geneticists, it was assumed that the Mediterranean Sea was outside of the historical range of the right and gray whale.
Academics from the Archaeology Department at the University of York used ancient DNA analysis and collagen fingerprinting to identify the bones as belonging to the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) and the Atlantic gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus). After centuries of whaling, the right whale currently occurs as a very threatened population off eastern North America and the gray whale has completely disappeared from the North Atlantic and is now restricted to the North Pacific.

About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government.

Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God."
