Visit Our Website Media Calling Out Biden-Harris Administration for Manipulated Jobs Report In a desperate last-ditch effort to manipulate public perception of its failing economic record, the Biden-Harris Administration was caught red-handed cooking the books on job creation numbers in their latest reports. Last week, it was revealed that the Department of Labor (DOL) egregiously overestimated the number of new jobs created over the past year by a staggering 818,000 – the second-largest revision in DOL history.  Using taxpayer dollars to mislead the public in jobs reports for political gain is an outrageous betrayal of trust and one of the reasons Americans have lost all faith in this Administration. Manipulating the numbers to spin a false narrative while people are struggling to afford gas and groceries is not only dishonest—it's insulting.  The DOL needs to deliver a transparent explanation for its repeated revisions to jobs reports and ensure American citizens that it is not a corrupt tool for influencing the upcoming election. To get to the bottom of this, I led my colleagues in a letter this week demanding answers from the DOL on why it routinely comes nowhere close to getting the numbers right on job creation. Click HERE or on the image above to read more about Senator Marshall's leadership to hold the Department of Labor accountable for inaccurate job reports. Every American who has suffered under the weight of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' failed economic policies these past three years deserves better than this deceit. With the November election coming into focus and the economy being a major issue, American citizens deserve accurate information about the health of our economy. Senator Marshall Joins Newsmax to Discuss Manipulated Jobs Report I joined Newsmax to discuss our efforts to hold the Biden-Harris Administration accountable for manipulating job reports. High interest rates have made it impossible to buy a home, energy costs are through the roof, and Americans can't afford gas and groceries. The truth is our economy is much softer than Biden-Harris is letting on, and we aren't close to lowering interest rates if this administration continues playing politics with economic data. You may click HERE or on the image above to watch Senator Marshall's full interview. Remembering American Heroes lost in Afghanistan Withdrawal This week marks the 3rd anniversary of the Biden-Harris administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Notably absent from the memorial ceremony were President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, refusing to acknowledge the 13 service members killed by their incompetent foreign policy decisions that left American soldiers abandoned behind enemy lines. It is a disgrace that the President of the United States was vacationing instead of being with these Gold Star families who suffered immeasurable loss in one of the deadliest withdrawals in our nation's history. Kamala Harris, Democrat hopeful to take the throne in November, has repeatedly bragged about being one of the last people in the room when this deadly decision was made. I do not understand how this administration sleeps at night.  While Kamala and Joe refuse to acknowledge these American Heroes, we will continue their legacy and honor each Gold Star family. While Joe was out on vacation, President Trump attended the memorial at Arlington National Ceremony, standing with our Gold Star families - that's what a true leader looks like. My prayers are with our Gold Star families, and we will continue to honor these fallen soldiers and their families. We will never forget their sacrifice. Sustainable Aviation Fuel Plant Breaks Ground in Kansas Biofuels are an up-and-coming reliable energy source that is extremely versatile, including as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Our state is a leader in biofuel technology and production, and that reputation was further solidified this week with the groundbreaking ceremony for SAFFiRE Renewables' new pilot biofuel plant in Liberal, KS. I was honored to be on hand for this event where we discussed the benefits of sustainable aviation fuel and the obstacles preventing airlines from using this innovative energy source.  SAF is created by transforming corn stalks into ethanol, a cheaper and cleaner alternative to renewable fuel made specifically for aircraft. With corn plentiful in Kansas and across the Midwest, SAF has no better home than in Southwest Kansas. I am eager to see what SAF's continued development will do for the aviation industry, and look forward to the benefits SAF will have for our corn growers.   New York Post: GOP senators demand answers after grim revision says US added 818K fewer jobs: 'Betrayal of trust' Fox Business: This is a step toward a socialist economy: Sen.

This is the beginning of their new year. The Daughters will meet for planning and discussing their Chapter and the plans for the year.                   All women of Grace Cathedral are welcome to visit or join.

Adult Forum classes resume September 8 We invite you to join us in All Saints Hall Sundays at 9:30 a.m. for our Adult Forum classes, which will begin September 8 with "Walking the Episcopal Beat." Find out more about the church's official news agency, Episcopal News Service, from Cathedral member Melodie Woerman who is a freelance reporter for ENS. She also will share some of the stories she's written that are especially meaningful.       Other classes in September will include "Relationship with Church and State," with the Reverend George Wiley; and "Wine and Religion," with Dean Torey Lightcap. (Samples of both will be provided during the 8:30 and 10:30 services!) Senior Saints luncheon, Wednesday, September 11 Join us for social time at 11 a.m., followed by a catered lunch at 11:30 in All Saints Hall. The guest speaker will be Cathedral member Larry Wolgast on the topic, "Steamships, covered wagons and a Stone Fort. How German immigrants crossed the plains to settle in Kansas."       There's a sign-up sheet on the west side table in the Cathedral or you can RSVP by email. A $10 donation is appreciated for the lunch. The deadline to RSVP is August 11. Sharing Table donations All Sharing Table items have been given out and need to be restocked prior to the first Saturday of September.

Ride sharing We are currently exploring the level of need for helping get people to church who would otherwise be unable to attend in person. On the table by the west door in the Cathedral, you'll see separate forms for those who need rides and those who might be able to help. These can be filled out and placed in the nearby basket. We've also sent questionnaires to homebound parishioners by mail. Sacred Ground course this fall A Diocese of Kansas Sacred Ground circle is available on Zoom again this fall, with openings for 12 participants.       Sacred Ground is a step in "Becoming Beloved Community" — a long term commitment to racial justice, healing and reconciliation by the Episcopal Church. Sacred Ground is a series of 11 conversations around race, based on materials to be read and viewed in advance.       The readings and videos are accessed online; sessions meet weekly on Zoom.

You can use this QR code to access their registry.       There will be many Ukrainian folks attending, and this will be a wonderful opportunity to welcome and visit our new friends. Vote Faithfully Election Engagement Toolkit Getting souls to the polls isn't just about casting our own vote but helping everyone eligible vote faithfully. We can empower every voice in our congregations in this work. There are A LOT of resources, ideas, and ways to act captured on this page. Doing election engagement well does not mean taking on everything there is to do and being overwhelmed. Effective election engagement begins with looking at what your community's needs are, what resources, skills, and interests you and your church have, and then proceeding based on how that capacity can help meet those needs. For some, this may be offering your parish as a polling site, for others it may mean election worker recruitment. For many it's persistent messaging in newsletters and bulletin boards, for others it's organizing child care on voting days. Whatever your path, we hope you are inspired to do more as a faithful Episcopalian modeling healthy and constructive civic engagement. All election engagement work must be non-partisan, and please heed local laws, election details, and Episcopal safe church practices as you promote voting. Download the Vote Faithfully Election Engagement Toolkit from the Episcopal Church here.
