A New Perspective on Constantine

(Worthy News) – Legislators in California have discovered yet another way to make it clear that mainstream religions holding to the sexual teachings of their sacred texts have no business doing so in the Golden State. Why? Because these faiths, which billions of good people worldwide happily hold, do not embrace homosexuality. This includes the three largest: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

In a resolution that recently passed the state assembly, “the Legislature calls upon all Californians to embrace the individual and social benefits of family and community acceptance” of LGBT people. It singles out especially faith-motivated individuals and organizations. [ Source: Federalist (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – Montana Gov. Steve Bullock tried to pump the brakes Tuesday night after watching the more progressive Democrats stake out left-leaning territory on border crossings, health care for undocumented immigrants and “Medicare for All” over three debates.

“Look, I think this is part of the discussion that shows how often these debates are detached from people’s lives,” said Bullock, who has won three statewide elections in Donald Trump territory. “We got a hundred thousand people showing up at the border right now. If we decriminalize entry, if we give health care to everyone, we’ll have multiples of that.”

Worried that the other Democrats were over-promising or taking positions out of step with the majority of the country, Bullock, Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio and former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland banded together in an unofficial moderate alliance in Detroit, said that the blue-state progressives at center stage Tuesday night — Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — are making it tougher to beat President Trump in 2020, with his campaign already attacking Democrats over the issues. [ Source: Politico (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – A federal judge in New York on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) alleging that the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks and the Russian government had conspired to interfere in the 2016 election.

Judge John Koeltl, a Clinton appointee, wrote in his ruling that the Trump officials were shielded from the allegations under the First Amendment. And he said that Russia could not be sued in the courts for the election interference but had to face actions such as sanctions instead.

The ruling comes days after former special counsel Robert Mueller testified before a pair of House committees, detailing his report on Russian meddling in the 2016 race. [ Source: The Hill (Read More…) ]
