Washington State Superior Court Judge Tanya Thorp has thrown out a lawsuit from City of Seattle employees who claimed they were fired for their religious beliefs. The dozen employees objected to the Covid-19 vaccine on religious grounds, but the judge ruled they weren’t religious enough.
The judge also claimed that the law does not require employers, not even government employers, to accommodate personal choices “merely because they are framed in religious terms.”

Judge Tanya L. Thorp claimed that prayer is not a reasonable manner for decision making.
King County Superior Court Judge Tanya L. Thorp has ruled in favor of the City of Seattle in a high-profile lawsuit brought by dozens of former city employees who were terminated after refusing to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Thorp ruled that none of them had sincerely held religious beliefs when they objected to the vaccine mandate. She said their beliefs are “secular cloaked in religious vernacular,” and that prayer is not a reasonable manner for decision making.
In her ruling, Thorp agreed with arguments presented by the city’s outside counsel, Seyfarth Shaw LLP, granting a motion for summary judgment on most of the plaintiffs’ claims. The employees from City Light (SCL), the Seattle Police Department (SPD), Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), and the city’s Finance/Admin department (FAS) had alleged violations of Washington’s Law Against Discrimination (WLAD), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, failure to accommodate religious beliefs and wrongful termination.

The state of Washington has announced it will no longer release data on its assisted suicides, sparking concerns over the resulting risk of abuses that would worsen what is already a gravely immoral practice.
The Washington State Department of Health website has posted a notice on its website stating that “due to funding cuts,” it has halted its so-called “Death with Dignity Program,” meaning that while eligible patients may still commit assisted suicide, reports documenting the practice will no longer be released.
The health agency said it has made the “difficult decision” to discontinue its assisted suicide report so that staff can focus on “prioritiz[ing] patient safety and other critical work,” according to The Telegraph.
“A 2024 annual statistical report will not be released. The most recent available data year is 2023,” states the Washington Health website.
Skydance Tells Trump They’ll Conduct ‘Comprehensive’ Editorial Bias Review’ at CBS and End DEI Initiatives at Paramount and Bolster News Integrity at CBS– gellerreport.com

Excerpt:
Skydance Media has made a series of new commitments to eliminate bias in news and entertainment programming at CBS and its parent company, Paramount, when its planned acquisition of the companies is complete. Skydance is also confirming the “elimination” of all “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” policies and initiatives at Paramount, which had been one of the most aggressive proponents of DEI in the entertainment business.
Should the Trump administration, as expected, approve the transaction, Skydance now says it will launch a “comprehensive review of CBS” focused on bias, as well as appoint an “ombudsman” to “evaluate complaints of bias or other concerns involving CBS,” and eliminate Paramount’s controversial Office of Global Inclusion.
“When it comes to the legacy national news media, change is long overdue,” Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr told the Washington Free Beacon.
Skydance laid out the moves in two letters it sent to Carr on Tuesday. The first letter addresses “concerns about media bias” at CBS and pledges to “ensure that CBS’s reporting is fair, unbiased, and fact-based.” The second outlines Skydance’s “commitments going forward” to “promote non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity.”
Horror in Syria: Christian Pastor, Entire Family Slaughtered Amid Chaos and Violence– www.cbn.com

Excerpt:
Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at Christian Solidarity International (CSI), told CBN News that Syrian government forces have gone after these groups, killing innocents in the process.
The most recent incursion unfolded last week and had deadly consequences.
“Syrian government forces have once again launched an attack on religious minority populations — this time against the Druze, a religious group which makes up about 3% of Syria’s population, and who are considered heretics by jihadist groups,” CSI wrote in a statement. “Between July 14 and July 18, Syria’s Islamist-controlled government sent troops to occupy Suwayda province, a mountainous region of southern Syria where the majority of the population is Druze. Upon entering population centers in the province, government troops carried out numerous atrocities.”
This violence might not have been limited only to the Druze population. While details are still unclear about motives and precise details, Khaled Mazhar, the pastor of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church in Suwayda city, was killed alongside 11 other family members.
“We’re still putting together the details on what exactly happened, but we know that Pastor Khaled Mazhar was attacked by armed fighters sometime last week in Soweda City,” Veldkamp said. “He, and his wife, and his children, and several other of his relatives — 12 people in all — were all killed. And there’s a 13th person who survived only because they thought that she was dead, basically.”

The decision of the Canadian government to abolish a government ministry for people with disabilities has been blasted as “a real slap in the face”, coming at the same time as the country’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme continues to expand.
When Prime Minister Mark Carney announced his new cabinet, it was noted that no minister with responsibility for people with disabilities had been appointed. The post, which had previously been held by Kamal Khera, was abolished, and people with disabilities have shared their dismay and disappointment about the decision, as plans to expand Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme continue.
Decision blasted as “a real slap in the face to eight million people with disabilities in Canada”
Disability rights professor David Lepofsky, who is blind, said “For the prime minister to do this is a real slap in the face to eight million people with disabilities in Canada”. Lepofsky also said the decision is a sign to people with disabilities that they are not a priority.

The House Judiciary Committee released a report July 22 revealing that the Biden-era FBI devoted far more federal law enforcement resources to surveilling Catholics than previously known, while failing to disclose the full extent of its operations to Congress.
Titled “Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists,” the report centers on newly released documents that contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony claiming the anti-Catholic 2023 Richard memo was an isolated incident. That memo, circulated by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, labeled “radical traditionalist Catholics” as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”
According to a July 22 press release from the committee, under the leadership of FBI Director Kash Patel, the FBI has turned over more than 1,300 pages of internal documents detailing the agency’s wide-ranging surveillance of Catholics under the Biden administration.

Columbia University’s famed pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil said it is “absurd” and “disingenuous” to ask him if he condemns the terrorist group Hamas.
Khalil repeatedly avoided answering the direct question during a recent interview on CNN. The Trump administration tried to deport Khalil and accused him of lying on his visa application after he omitted his work with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
The Trump administration is also seeking to deport Khalil, an Algerian national, on the grounds he is sympathetic to Hamas and is promoting antisemitism.
“Just to be clear here, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their action on Oct. 7?” CNN’s Pamela Brown asked Khalil on Tuesday.
“I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop,” Khalil said. Brown asked again, but Khalil kept talking.
“To me, it‘s always, as I said, disingenuous and absurd to ask such questions when literally 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel,” he said. “And that‘s why I wouldn‘t really engage much into such questions on condemnation or not. Because selective condemnation wouldn‘t get us anywhere. It’s just like [hypocritical] to be honest.”

“Jessica is a caring mom of five who is now free to adopt after Oregon officials excluded her because of her common-sense belief that a girl cannot become a boy or vice versa.”
A federal court of appeals has sided with an Oregon woman who sued the state over an adoption rule by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) that went against her Christian beliefs. The woman was seeking to adopt children and prevented from doing so by LGBTQ laws.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction barring the ODHS from applying Oregon Administrative Rule Section 413- 200-0308(2)(k) to Jessica Bates while the lawsuit plays out in lower courts.
The rule states that those seeking to foster or adopt children in the state must “Respect, accept and support the race, ethnicity, cultural identities, national origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disabilities, spiritual beliefs, and socioeconomic status, of a child or young adult in the care or custody of the Department, and provide opportunities to enhance the positive self-concept and understanding of the child or young adult’s heritage.”

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is closing more centers – with another 5 closing in northern California thanks to the defunding bill President trump signed that took $300 million in taxpayer dollars away from the abortion giant.
California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the state’s largest abortion company, have lost $300 million in federal funding following the new federal law that defunds America’s biggest abortion business.
The congressional reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced the closure of five health centers in Northern California and the Central Coast on Thursday, attributing the decision to federal funding cuts enacted through President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The closures, affecting abortion centers in South San Francisco, Gilroy, Seaside, Merced, and North Highlands, mark a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long sought to redirect taxpayer dollars away from abortion businesses.

On July 22, America’s largest transgender youth “clinic” shut its doors in response to an executive order banning the practice of chemical and surgical mutilation of children.
The Center for Transyouth Health and Development (CTH) at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has administered experimental transgender “treatments” for more than 30 years, providing puberty-blocking hormones and genitalia surgeries to thousands of children and young adults. Despite a complete lack of data to support the practice and mounting evidence of its harm, CTH clinicians had no intention of shutting down before Trump’s order forced the hospital’s hand.
Entitled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” the White House order states that U.S. policy will no longer “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another,” and will “rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
After a “thorough legal and financial assessment,” the hospital decided to cut its losses.

Planned Parenthood has just filed a lawsuit in Nevada that seeks to allow the organization to keep teenagers’ abortions hidden from their parents.
For decades, Nevada’s Republican-led legislature has fought to enforce a law requiring that parents be notified before an abortion is performed on a minor.
Now, just as the law is on the verge of enforcement, a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood Mar Monte aims to keep the law in legal limbo, claiming that it violates the state’s constitution.
The law, passed in 1985, was immediately met with resistance.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals placed it on permanent hold, blocking its enforcement for years.
However, the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned the nationwide right to abortion, revived the issue, paving the way for the law’s potential enforcement.

(LifeSiteNews) — Yet another front has opened in the cross-border abortion wars. Texas man Jerry Rodriguez has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against California doctor Remy Coeytaux, alleging that the physician sent abortion pills by mail to his girlfriend—and that the pills were used to kill his pre-born child.
With the fall of Roe v. Wade, vast underground networks of mail-order abortion pills have been established, with pills being sent from blue states where abortion is legal to red states where pre-born children have state protection. This has launched a flurry of litigation between states, with blue states such as New York vowing to protect abortionists who facilitate feticide across state lines, even when the mail-order pills result in harm to girls and women as well as the intended human target of the medication.
Two Americas are emerging in the post-Roe era. In one, pre-born children are recognized as human beings and entitled to at least some level of protection. In the other, pre-born children are treated as parasites or medical waste, and abortionists are protected by politicians from extradition as they market their wares by mail.
The latest lawsuit, filed on July 20, seeks civil damages against Remy Coeytaux, with Jerry Rodriguez alleging that the doctor violated both state and federal laws. Rodriguez claims that his girlfriend’s ex-husband paid for the pills, and Coeytaux mailed them from California to Texas. His girlfriend, says Rodriguez, took the pills on at least two occasions under pressure from her estranged ex-husband.

As Israel continues its assault on Gaza, enables settler violence in the West Bank, and launches strikes on Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, American conservatives are taking special note of one form of Israeli belligerence: attacks on Christians in the Holy Land.
An Israeli tank last week shelled the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing three and gravely wounding several. Over in the West Bank, settlers in recent weeks have intensified their attacks on Christian communities, including in the town of Taybeh, where they set cars aflame and erected a sign that read “there is no future for you here,” among other indignities.
Many American Christians, including high-profile MAGA influencers, have had enough—jeopardizing one of Israel’s most vital bases of Western support.

Aamir Masih, a retired government education worker and father of two, was taken into custody by South Cantonment police after Sanwar Ali, a Muslim shopkeeper in Nishat Colony, lodged a complaint accusing Masih of making derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The FIR was registered under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code, a section that carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment or death.
The complainant alleges that Masih made the remarks during a discussion in his shop about the country’s current political and economic challenges. According to the FIR, Masih fled the scene when confronted.
However, local residents and human rights defenders have strongly contested the allegations, saying the charge is being misused to settle a personal grudge related to a drainage dispute.

The new authorities in Damascus have largely been met with a cautious sigh of relief by the international community.
Al-Sharaa has met with leaders from Western powers, including the UK, the EU and the US. Donald Trump even called the new president “handsome”.
What followed was the lifting of many crippling sanctions that were imposed on the Assad regime for crimes against the Syrian people. Today, 90% of the population still lives below the poverty line, and the economy hangs by a thread.
Although many have lauded al-Sharaa for providing stability to a country ravaged by over a decade of war, Syria has endured multiple eruptions of interethnic violence, notably in early March when Alawite communities were massacred in coastal regions.
While al-Sharaa at the time called for calm and promised an independent investigation into claims that government-affiliated forces initiated what one commentator called the “orgy of violence,” many believe the president was complicit.
“They asked (the Alawites) to hand over weapons,” the Suwayda resident said during their interview. “When the weapons were handed over, and the Syrian coastal area became isolated … they attacked and committed terrible massacres against humanity.”
“The entire villages were killed and exterminated. Houses and houses were burned.”
Sheikh Hikmat agreed, adding, “They use a local group to stir up strife, and then they carry out mass killings against their opponents.”

An activist federal judge says Planned Parenthood may have a First Amendment right to challenge a law that deprives it of federal Medicaid dollars.
Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, ruled last night that Planned Parenthood can challenge a provision in the recently passed federal budget reconciliation bill which generally prohibits abortion vendors from receiving Medicaid dollars. The judge’s ruling extends a temporary injunction she offered soon after the passage of the bill; in fact, the temporary restraining order was unbelievably fast and unrealistic according to at least one legal scholar.
Much of the ruling reads like a Planned Parenthood news release, with the decision repeating the false claim that only 4% of what the abortion vendor does is abortion. (The corporation used to claim it was 3%).
However, the ruling does not completely stop the defunding of Planned Parenthood. It only applies to Planned Parenthood affiliates who will not be killing babies as of Oct. 1, 2025 and to those who received less than $800,000 in Medicaid payments in fiscal year 2023 (which is part of the law).
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government is once again in danger of collapsing after an ultra-Orthodox party made its intentions to leave the government public. The group is not large enough to immediately cause a collapse, but the concern from the Netanyahu camp is more defections will follow.
The faction left the government over a proposal to end military exemptions for religious students. The orthodox communities typically support conflict, in general, yet their children are largely exempt due to being “religious students.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government suffered a serious blow on Tuesday when an ultra-Orthodox party announced it was bolting the coalition.
While this doesn’t immediately threaten Netanyahu’s rule, it could set in motion his government’s demise, although that could still be months away. It also could complicate efforts to halt the conflict in Gaza.
United Torah Judaism’s two factions said they were leaving the government because of disagreements over a proposed law that would end broad exemptions for religious students from enlistment into the military.
Military service is compulsory for most Jewish Israelis, and the issue of exemptions has long divided the country. Those rifts have only widened since the start of the conflict in Gaza as demand for military manpower has grown and hundreds of soldiers have been killed.
The threat to the government “looks more serious than ever,” said Shuki Friedman, vice president of the Jewish People Policy Institute, a Jerusalem think tank.
Insurrectionist rogue U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, a Barack Obama appointee, took the law into her own hands in an effort to protect the child murder corporation, Planned Parenthood, from being defunded. The law in question comes from a congressionally passed and presidentially signed law that defunds Planned Parenthood, in essence.
The Judge blocked the provision for 14 days. No arrests have been made following this egregious, unconstitutional ruling. Judgefare continues to erode Americans’ sense of Rule of Law. Pam Bondi remains silent.

Federal Judge, in Planned Parenthood Dispute, Attempts To Override Congress, Trump on Abortion Funding The New York Sun
During the Covid-19 era, Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church stood tall and kept his church open, defying civil law in favor of God’s law. His pastorship goes back decades and his impact on American Christianity has been significant, with many top Pastors today citing MacArthur as one of their biggest influences.
While MacArthur planned on coming back after a recent bout with illnesses, that would prove not to be the case. The Pastor caught pneumonia and died at the age of 86. MacArthur’s central gospel message was one he spoke until the end. Speaking of the job of Pastor, MacArthur said, “Being a pastor means you’re a truth-teller. The whole purpose of the Christian message is to confront the sinner’s sin so you can call the sinner to repentance and forgiveness… The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.”

Los Angeles megachurches often resemble their Hollywood neighbors — grand stage sets with top-tier lighting and sound, carefully produced services complete with scripts, soundtracks, and a live audience. They usually plant themselves in the “nice parts of town” — Hollywood Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena. Perfect if you’re after a Sunday pep talk and a little feel-good music to carry you through the week.
But that was never Grace Community Church with John MacArthur at the pulpit.
MacArthur never chased applause or tailored sermons to flatter the mood of the age.
Unlike many pastors leading congregations of similar size, MacArthur, who died Monday at the age of 86, didn’t preach to people hoping to make them “feel better” about themselves. He preached to dying souls, convinced he held the only message that could save them: the gospel — the real, unvarnished gospel of Scripture.

In a closely watched case, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld West Virginia’s ban on the abortion drug mifepristone, marking a major legal win for the state’s pro-life stance and reinforcing state authority in the post-Dobbs era.
The July 15 ruling came in response to a challenge by GenBioPro, a Nevada-based manufacturer of mifepristone, which argued that the FDA’s approval of the drug should override the state ban. The court rejected that claim in a 2-1 decision, affirming West Virginia’s authority to regulate abortion within its borders.
“As Dobbs makes clear, that judgment belongs with the people and their elected representatives,” Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson wrote in the decision. “At a time when the rule of law is under blunt assault, disregarding the Supreme Court is not an option.”
West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey, who defended the law while serving as attorney general, celebrated the ruling on X.

According to Reuters, the decision marks the first time a federal appeals court has ruled that states may restrict access to the drug.

The ruling could have broader implications for state-level regulation of abortion drugs. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 28 states currently have some form of restriction on their use.
Mifepristone, now used in more than half of abortions nationwide, has faced renewed scrutiny after several of its longstanding safety restrictions were loosened under the Biden administration.
Earlier this month, CatholicVote and more than 100 other pro-life organizations sent a joint letter to FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., urging them to restore the previous safety requirements on mifepristone.
