These are the headlines for today – Wednesday, the 26th of June, 2024

A boy used AI tech to generate nude deep fake photos of a fellow female student that he posted on Snapchat. Snapchat refused to remove the images so the student and her family contacted Senator Ted Cruz who was able to get Snapchat to remove them. Now Senator Cruz has proposed legislation, the ‘Take It Down Act’, to increase penalties for perpetrators and to obligate social media platforms to remove such content rapidly.

The Supreme Court earlier this week rejected COVID-19 vaccine appeals from Children’s Health Defense. The organization had challenged emergency authorization of vaccines for minors and the student vaccination mandate. The high court upheld lower court rulings that the organization did not have legal standing to sue.

In the center of a Medicare fraud case in Texas, there’s an unsettling connection between medical professionals, specifically Dr. Richard Ogden Roberts, and far-left activists. A whistleblower alleges Roberts’ unlawfully billed Medicaid for trans medical interventions. In question also is Roberts’ connection with pro-transgender organizations that receive funding from the pharmaceutical industry.

Finally, pro-transgender vandals recently targeted a “Take Back Title IX” tour bus with the slogan on it “Save Women’s Sports.” The bus, belonging to the Our Bodies, Our Sports coalition, was discovered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with slurs, crosses, and profane graffiti. Brianna Howard, the tour bus manager, said It’s crazy. We’re very disheartened by this happening, but it’s not going to discourage us. We’re going to keep pushing forward and spreading the message.

Let’s pray. Heavenly Father, we pray for justice for victims of deepfakes, for everyone who was harmed by the covid vaccine and mandates, for whistleblowers exposing medical mistreatment of children, and for the pro-women tour. We pray that citizens and leaders would recognize the truth about the cultural issues that are corrupting our nation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Very few news outlets have reported on China’s actions against the Philippines. The Chinese coast guard seized two Filipino boats. China claims much of the South China Sea as its territory. Rising tensions spotlight geopolitical concerns in the Pacific region. Experts wonder if China is testing what the U.S. will do in defense of allies like the Philippines. IFA has numerous special report prayer guides on the dangers China poses.

There are also concerns about Vladimir Putin’s recent trip to North Korea. The two nations signed a mutual security pact. Russia helps North Korea with weapons, oil, and money laundering. In return, Pyongyang helps Russia evade sanctions and provides cheap labor. This trip and Putin’s visit with Vietnam suggest efforts reminiscent of the Soviet era.

In national news, did you know that according to conservative activist Scott Presler, if every Christian in the U.S. voted, presidential elections might have different outcomes. According to Presler, 30% of evangelicals are not even registered to vote. This is why IFA launched Pray the Vote 2024, where you can pray for Christians who haven’t voted in the last few elections to get out and vote biblical values.

Finally, former President Trump has suggested automatic green cards for international graduates of U.S. colleges. Some say this diverges from his prior views. Polls consistently show that immigration is a primary concern of voters.

Let’s pray. Heavenly Father, we pray about the recent actions of China, Russia, and North Korea. We pray that these nations would be used for your purposes and that you would give American leaders great wisdom in protecting U.S. interests. We pray that Christians would vote biblical values in record-breaking numbers and that our nation’s leaders would have divine wisdom to address immigration. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Louisiana has become the first state to mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms. The bill, which became law on June 18, requires Louisiana schools receiving state funds to feature the Commandments in each building. The law describes the Ten Commandments as “foundational documents of our state and national government.”

We’ve been praying about the impact of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio in 2023, which affected the atmosphere across 16 states. A new study shows that toxic emissions from the incident were carried by precipitation to areas from Canada to North Carolina.

Missouri’s lawsuit against Planned Parenthood is moving forward, according to Judge Brouck Jacobs. The lawsuit involves Planned Parenthood transporting minors across state lines for abortions. This case stems from a video captured by Project Veritas, showing allegedly illegal advice from clinic staff.

U.S. Representative Chip Roy wants Congress to address the increasing evidence of non-citizens participating in elections. He says the proposed Save Act will correct this issue and require voter proof of citizenship. This Act is presented as a bipartisan solution to safeguard voter eligibility.

Let’s pray about these issues. Lord, we are grateful that Louisiana wants all schoolchildren to know about the Ten Commandments. We pray this will lead them to know Jesus. We pray that you would expose all of the harm from the East Palestine disaster and that you would protect people from further harm. We pray that Planned Parenthood will be thwarted in their efforts to promote abortion. And we ask You to safeguard the privileges of U.S. citizenship, including the right to vote. In Jesus’ name, amen.
