\nQuote – In the ABC News report, it wasn\u2019t until the ninth paragraph that that network spelled out, \u201cnowhere in Durham’s filing does he state that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a tech company to “infiltrate” servers belonging to Trump Tower and later the White House.\u201d That crucial debunking should have been found in the first paragraph, if not the headline.

\nQuote – Critics and liberal legal organizations say Alliance\u2019s approach \u2014 and burst of enormous success over the past decade \u2014 is changing the landscape of case law in this area. They worry they are turning the First Amendment\u2019s guarantee for religious freedom into a justification to discriminate. [Scott] Levin[, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League], worries … that the shield of religious freedom has been turned on its head, and is now used \u201cas a sword to try to influence, to make sure that I conform to the beliefs of ADF.\u201d
\nClick through.<\/a> I still maintain that it is time – long past time – for authentic Christians to start “witnessing” (I hate the term, but these people – you have to use their anguage if you want to get through to them) Acts 10 to fundamentalists. God may be “the same yesterday, today, and forever” – but humans are not. Humans are capable of learning. Just because a truth is new to one person or one group, does not mean it hasn’t always been true.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – The three men who chased, cornered, and gunned down Ahmaud Arbery were convicted of a federal hate crime today. Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William \u201cRoddie\u201d Bryan had already been convicted in Georgia on state-level charges of murder, but today\u2019s decision establishes for the legal record that they killed Arbery because he was Black and ensures that the defendants would still have to serve significant amounts of prison time if their murder convictions were overturned on appeal.
