Megan Rapinoe is a captain of the US women’s soccer team.
Rapinoe was outraged after the women’s league made players sit in the locker room during the anthem after her antics made headlines.
Rapinoe sat with Henry Bushnell for Yahoo Sports last month to trash the US and President Trump good and hard before leaving to France for the Women’s World Cup tournament.
Megan Rapinoe used to sing. With grace and gusto, on fields from Frankfurt to Florida to Montreal, eyelids occasionally fluttering. Her chest would rise and fall with the trumpets on the “Star Spangled Banner,” lyrics rolling off her tongue, patriotism oozing from her entire figure.
She was an American hero, and belted out a national anthem befitting of one. Whether she was preparing to win gold medals or World Cups, whether with dazzling foot skills or majestic crosses, she would cup her hand to a U.S. Soccer crest and join the chorus. And whether the year was 2011 or 2012 or 2015, she would pull at the heartstrings of millions. She’d ripple nets, then serenade viewers with “Born in the USA.” She was equal parts inspirational and flamboyant, her blonde hair jibing with an irresistible personality, her game exuding joy.
She was an American hero. And eight years after first earning the title, she very much still is. She even has a captain’s armband to prove it.
But nowadays, when the trumpets perk up, and when immense pride swells within the 10 women around her, Rapinoe doesn’t flinch. She stands and stares, lips pursed, cheekbones taut, hands clasped behind her back, face expressionless.
“I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart,” she says matter-of-factly. “I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.”…
…She is at ease, however, in her role as USWNT co-captain. She is “a walking protest when it comes to the Trump administration,” she says, because of “everything I stand for.”
“I feel like it’s kind of defiance in and of itself to just be who I am and wear the jersey, and represent it,” she continues. “Because I’m as talented as I am, I get to be here, you don’t get to tell me if I can be here or not. So it’s kind of a good ‘F you’ to any sort of inequality or bad sentiments that the [Trump] administration might have towards people who don’t look exactly like him. Which, God help us if we all looked like him. Scary. Really scary. Ahh, disturbing.”
She laughs.

A defense of public health, or an attack on religious freedom? New York legislators passed a law late yesterday ending the religious exemption on vaccination requirements, leaving in place only an exemption for medical necessity. Andrew Cuomo wasted no time signing the bill, which took effect immediately — but not without angry protests over the infringement on religious rights:
“We are facing an unprecedented public health crisis,” said Sen. Brad Hoylman, D-Manhattan and the sponsor of the legislation in the Senate. “The atrocious peddlers of junk science and fraudulent medicine who we know as anti-vaxxers have spent years sowing unwarranted doubt and fear, but it is time for legislators to confront them head on.”
Hundreds of parents of unvaccinated children gathered at New York’s Capitol before the vote to protest what several called an assault on religious freedom.
“People came to this country to get away from exactly this kind of stuff,” said Stan Yung, a Long Island attorney who has three children.
Yung, who is Russian Orthodox, said he has religious views and health concerns that will prevent him from vaccinating his three young children. His family, he said, may consider leaving the state if the bill is signed into law.
This wasn’t a slam dunk in the state legislature. The bill only passed by ten votes in the state senate, 36-26, and the gap wasn’t much wider in the assembly, 77-53. The controversy over religious freedom turned out to be a bigger hurdle than some might have thought, especially in deep-blue New York. Expect more political backlash as the law goes into effect over the next 30 days, as parents will face new demands to submit vaccination records.
Part of the problem is that the religious exemption had no real controls on it. Many people used it in connection to legitimate religious doctrine, but as one person notes in the PIX 11 news report, many others used it as a means for their personal opposition to vaccines regardless of religious issues. The combination of the two left a lot of children without immunity and susceptible to exposure through travel or immigration, from a disease that the CDC declared eliminated in the US less than twenty years ago.
Regardless of what Yung says, people don’t come to the US just to get away from required vaccinations. Schools have required vaccinations for more than a century, with the Supreme Court approving the authority for such requirements in a 1905 case. Plenty of people have emigrated to the US since that time, and almost all of them get vaccinated at some point. An argument might be made, in fact, that the generally excellent health of the US population might be a bigger draw than some largely mythical ability to avoid vaccinations.
Perhaps if a solid test for religious exemptions could be developed that locks out the anti-vaxx manipulations of such loopholes, then the state might be able to make such a thing work. The epidemics of measles in New York and other states make it pretty clear, however, that these policies present a public-health danger, especially when it becomes faddish to exploit that loophole. Parents are required to send their children to schools, usually public schools, where unvaccinated children could put their own children in danger, which means that the schools have a responsibility to minimize that danger as much as possible. Vaccinations have been proven effective and reliable in mitigating — and until recently, eliminating — that danger.
The free expression of religious doctrine should be a high priority in American life, and too often is encroached by the nanny state. That’s why we passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) at the federal level and in many states, and required strict scrutiny on laws and regulation that cross that First Amendment line. In this case, though, serious diseases threaten public health when required participation in education leaves children vulnerable, which crosses into a clear state interest that would easily survive strict scrutiny. New York made the right decision in this case.

Early Friday morning there was an explosion near the St. Afrem church in Swedish city Geneta. This is the second time the place has been bombed, the previous attack happened in September last year. No-one was arrested in connection with the previous attack.
The church is a Syrian Orthodox church. The building that was targeted is the party rooms owned by the church, and are located nearby the church itself.
“Because this is the second time it happens, it appears to be a motive against the church, but it is hard to know for sure” says Zakay Cicek, responsible for security at the church to Expressen.
“We are also glad that the explosion didn’t happen during worship” he adds.
The explosion caused material damage to the building, but thankfully no-one was injured in the attack.
There has been barely any reports of this bombing in international media, despite that this could potentially be a hate crime against Christians.
This is the sixth bombing in Sweden this week. Previously 25 people were injured after a massive bomb at apartments in Linköping. There has also been three bombings in Malmö, and one bombing in Gränby this week.

In an aggressive attempt to enforce immigration law, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law banning sanctuary cities in the state. The law requires state agencies and law enforcement entities to support federal law enforcement when addressing illegal immigration in the state.
Sanctuary cities restrict cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, meaning that they can serve as safe havens for illegal immigrants looking to avoid deportation. Over the course of his tenure, the Trump administration has targeted sanctuary cities with funding cuts for refusing to work with federal agencies such as Immigration Customs and Enforcement.
There are currently no sanctuary cities in Florida, meaning the law bans any future defiance of federal immigration law from Florida’s municipalities.
The law was one of the Republican governor’s major campaign promises, the Miami Herald reported. It will go into effect in October.
State Sen. David Simmons (R.), co-sponsor of the law, addressed concerns that the law would damage relations between illegal immigrants and law enforcement, according to Spectrum News 13. He stressed that the legislation only pertains to cooperation with the federal government after an individual has been arrested for a crime.
The law also provides for "an exception to reporting requirements for crime victims or witnesses," according to its text. If an illegal immigrant is a witness or a victim of a crime, he or she would not be deported for reporting it.
Activists slammed the law for threatening to hurt minority communities by discouraging crime reporting. Scott McCoy, senior policy counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Florida, said that it would make illegal immigrants less likely to report crimes, and accused state Republicans of trying to use racial tensions to divide the state’s population, the Miami Herald reported.
DeSantis said that the bill’s objective is straightforward: cooperation with the federal government, Florida Politics reported.

Texas senator Ted Cruz took to the Senate floor Thursday afternoon to denounce anti-Semitism moments before the Senate unanimously passed his bipartisan resolution condemning all forms of anti-Semitism.
"We’re living in an era where the need for a strong and clear condemnation of anti-Semitism has become acute," Cruz said.
Cruz then went on to discuss the uptick in anti-Semitic attacks and violence in the United States and abroad, highlighting such horrific incidents as the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh which killed eleven people.
"We have seen the growth on our college campuses of movements to aggressively boycott products made by Jews in Israel," he continued, highlighting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
During his speech, Cruz pointed to the House of Representatives’ failure to pass a resolution earlier this year specifically condemning anti-Semitism after Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) made numerous anti-Semitic remarks including insinuating American Jews have a dual loyalty to Israel.
"When the House tried to condemn anti-Semitism, sadly they were instead forced to water it down into a general resolution decrying bigotry of all sorts," Cruz said. "There’s of course nothing wrong with condemning bigotry and hatred in general."
"But anti-Semitism is a unique prejudice, with a unique history, that has led to unique horrors throughout history," Cruz added. He noted Jews are the most targeted religious group in America today according to data from the FBI.
Cruz noted that American Jews have been subject to discrimination throughout the history of the United States, including being barred from certain social clubs, academic institutions, neighborhoods, and hotels.
"This is a shameful legacy and it makes it all the more incumbent that we as a Senate speak in one voice and stand resolved that the United States condemns and commits to combating all forms of anti-Semitism," he said.
The resolution passed with unanimous consent and included fourteen Democratic cosponsors including Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I.,Vt.).

Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), the exclusive labor representative of approximately 16,000 Border Patrol agents. joined Lou Dobbs on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing border crisis.
This comes after Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) revealed today that the Mexican cartels are making $500 billion a year in sex trafficking and illegal drugs into the United States.
Half a TRILLION dollars. That’s how much Mexican drug cartels bring in every year. The cartel business in Mexico alone is bigger than Walmart.
— David Perdue (@sendavidperdue) June 12, 2019
Brandon Judd told Lou Dobbs, “You know what is amazing about it the President got Mexico to send more troops to their southern border with Guatemala than what Congress has approved for United States Border Patrol Agents to be on the southwest border with Mexico.”
Trump also got Mexico to crack down on the train travel in Mexico.
