DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You for all those trying times You allowed, so we could learn to truly trust in You. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
BORDER: Old Orchard Beach Police Department in Maine hired Jon Luke Evans and swore him in as a law enforcement officer. Cumberland County Jail, also in Maine, hired Gratien Milandou Wamba to work as a corrections officer. Both men passed whatever background checks the LEOs of Maine felt were sufficient. Later, both men attempted to buy a firearm. Apparently, ATF does a better job with background checks, because neither man was here legally. ICE picked up Wamba in April; they arrested Evans this week.

KAMALA: “In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor,” Harris said. “I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election.”
PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH: Now six months into his second term, Trump has averaged one peace deal or ceasefire per month. Most recently, he brokered a Thailand-Cambodia agreement.
SPACE SHUTTLE: NASA operated the space shuttle program between 1981 and 2011. The shuttle crafts were designed for spaceflight, followed by a gliding landing. Because the shuttle program worked on a tight schedule, they were flown to where they were needed atop modified Boeing 747s.

Since the Space Shuttle’s retirement in 2011, NASA has relied on commercial providers (SpaceX, Boeing, Northrop Grumman) and international partners (Roscosmos, JAXA) to deliver supplies and crew to the International Space Station.

TIME TRAVEL: Out in the Bering Strait, between Russia and Alaska, lie two islands just 2.4 miles apart. In between them is the International Date Line. Big Diomede, owned by Russia, is known as “Tomorrow Island” because it’s nearly a full day ahead of the other, Little Diomede, owned by Alaska and, obviously nicknamed “Yesterday Island.” It’s one of the only places in the world where you can see the “future” or look into the “past.” Little Diomede is the spot Sarah Palin was referring to when she said you can see Russia from Alaska.
