Lusk speaking about "the danger of Christians claiming privilege within the state and the persecution of Christians which that led to...
If you have a political system which gives privilege to Christians then that system have to define what a Christian is"
Paynter: "If Christians are pursuing political power, what ... they are essentially saying is that might makes right."
Lusk: 1/ "The basic problem w/a religious right is that it says that the state has been established by God to enforce law & all law has a religious basis."
Lusk: 2/ "And therefore whatever the state does must reflect a religious position. And therefore if there are diverse religious positions at work, then the inevitable result is that one will oppress the other."
Lusk: "To say we are post-Christian does not mean we are ex-Christian ... Although Christain belief is a small minority, certainly our culture, our values, our system- these are very much part of a Christian heritage and sensibility which is inherited."

A Christian who doesn't think the church should have a privileged voice in the public square? Isn't that like a turkey voting for Christmas? Listen to the new episode of our podcast #GunsandGod, with @HelenEPaynter & @matthew_feldman with guest Paul Lusk.https://t.co/O3t2C41gsM

Pashinyan spoke in the parliament amid opposition protest outside of the building. He answered the question of the deputies.
(Pashinyan's block holds the absolute majority in parliament)
Only the people can speak on behalf of the people, not separate groups - Pashinyan
Voices of individual groups cannot be considered the voice of the people - Pashinyan
It is not the media who decide who the prime minister is, people decide - Pashinyan
The question arises as to why the opposition does not demand early elections. Why do political forces have only one goal - to decide without the will of the people? Pashinyan

@franifio How did Putin get Trump nominated? Trump had to get nominated for Putin to get him elected. Your answer must include evidence, including documents, testimony, and other forms of evidence as defined in the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure, The Rules of Evidence.
I have the answer to how Trump got nominated, and the evidence, which is considerable. Putin had nothing to do with it.
Here we go---First, Hillary asked her friends in the media to "elevate" Trump as she wanted to run against
The media did exactly what they were asked to do by Hillary for America and DNC executives--They promoted

When you see something like this we need to investigate a little and join the dots.

This guy always pops up somewhere along the way, so what is the true agenda here? Who are the players?

And now we tie George Soros to Lord Malloch Brown and the Privy council. Soros has just made Malloch Brown head of his Open Society foundation.

A few noteworthy things came out of a legislative committee meeting today.
First, we learned Alberta’s chief electoral officer asked the gov’t for a four-month extension for a complex investigation during the pandemic. The government said no. #ableg
https://t.co/CJtx0vFGkG
Elections AB won’t say what the case is the timelines suggest it could be the investigation into the UCP leadership race. The office has handed out more than $200,000 in fines connected with election financing irregularities in the 2017 race.
Several people have appealed those fines and findings to the court.
You may also recall leaked documents suggested Jason Kenney and Jeff Callaway’s leadership campaigns shared strategy and information https://t.co/NX91cdQQsN
And the RCMP are investigating. #ableg
The NDP says the government needs to come clean about whether it turned down the chief electoral officer’s application to extend the time to investigate the governing party.
#ableg
Also at today’s committee meeting, seven independent officers of the legislature had their budgets up for approval. The committee approved six of them.
MLA Brad Rutherford then moved to delay a decision about the auditor general’s budget. He says he wants more information. #ableg

🚨GEORGIA UPDATE (Voting for 12/26, late night thread)🚨
Statewide: 2,097,269 (+26,075)
Fulton: 272,057 (+14,360)
Gwinnett: 182,924 (+9,753)
Columbia: 32,920 (+175)
Houston: 32,876 (+126)
Cherokee: 53,860 (+320)
Forsyth: 58,066 (+437)
Coweta: 26,575 (+203)
I'll post the rates tomorrow with the racial breakdown. For now, let's go with the raw totals.
What do we have from today? Well, Democrats probably added about 8K votes to their margin, per @joe__gantt's estimates. That's not as much as they'd have been hoping for, to be blunt.
But let's also remember that the second weekend in the general election was a pro-GOP day. So this is certainly not the worst-case scenario everyone worried about. All of that helps the Democrats. They'd have liked more, but...it's Boxing Day.
Tomorrow, it appears as if DeKalb, Columbia, Fulton, and Gwinnett are open. This will likely result in another pro-Democratic day, but almost certainly with more votes cast. How much? I got no idea, but probably around 30K-40K. So Democrats will look to add about 10K to the lead.
We'll enter the last 4 days of early voting with approximately a (roughly) 190K vote lead for Democrats, in all likelihood. That'll leave the GOP with some ground to make up.

In the general election, for example, our estimate was that Biden won the first two days of early voting, three of the four weekend days, and Trump won basically every other day of early voting pic.twitter.com/9JID24eq3I
