DIGITAL CURRENCY: In yet another step toward fulfilling St. John’s prophetic messages, four major Australian banks are forbidding customers from taking cash out of their accounts. On July 24, Sky News Australia reported that “more than one billion dollars worth of notes have disappeared from circulation in the past 12 months.”

FIRST AMENDMENT: Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Liam Morrison, a Massachusetts boy who was told he could not wear his t-shirts to his middle school. When the one that said, “There are only two genders” was banned, he got one that said, “There are [censored] genders.” Despite the fact that the school allows other students to wear t-shirts promoting virtually anything, the U.S. District Court for Eastern Massachusetts upheld the school’s decision. ADF immediately filed an appeal to take the case to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

IOWA: The state’s new school choice program allows parents to put up to $7,600 of their education tax dollars into paying for alternatives to the public schools. The state projected there would be about 14,000 approved applicants for this first year of the program. So far, there are 18,600.
MASSACHUSETTS: In March 2022, 25 families per day were seeking shelter; in March 2023, it was 68 and by July it had gone to more than 100. Their shelters are full, so the state taxpayers are currently financing 1,800 families to live in hotels or motels. Poor, poor blue state having to finally cope with the mess Biden made.

OHIO: Sadly, Issue #1 failed, likely due to million$ that pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU poured into campaigning against it. If it had passed, it would have raised the states voting threshold for constitutional amendments from 50/50 to 60/40. In November, Ohioans are due to vote on an amendment to make abortion in the state a “constitutional right.”
In another loss for traditional values in Ohio, a federal judge has upheld a policy in an Ohio school district that allows students to use bathrooms based on their self-identified gender, rather than biological sex.

TEXAS: Gov. Abbott has signed new legislation will requiring public institutions of higher education to limit participation in athletic events to members of the same biological sex.
VERMONT: In February, a woman who had been a victim of sex trafficking for nearly 30 years testified before a State Senate committee about how a pro-life Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC) saved her life and the life of her son. Legislators didn’t care. In May, Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott signed a bill into law branding PRCs “limited-services pregnancy centers” because they do not offer abortion and loads penalties on them for “false and misleading advertising about services.”
