Trump nominates conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court
Barrett was one of a select few women Trump mentioned as a potential nominee
By Brianna Kraemer
Even before President Trump selected Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by Justice Ruth Ginsburg, the federal appeals court judge already received attacks against her deeply-held Christian beliefs. However, these anti-Catholic attacks could backfire against Democrats with religious voters during the November election.
Barrett belongs to People of Praise, a South Bend, Ind.–based, nationwide charismatic Christian community of Christian churches from various denominations, though membership is predominately Catholic. Critics in the media are upset that women in the group referred to themselves as “handmaids,” a Biblical reference to Jesus’ mother Mary who called herself a “handmaid of the Lord.”
This sparked critics to say that Barrett endorses the dystopian HBO series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” where women are suppressed. After that series began airing in 2017, media reports People of Praise instead started using the phrase “women leaders” instead. Barrett has not publicly spoken about her affiliation with People of Praise.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Tuesday issued a statement against “outrageous smears, laundered through publications like Newsweek and Reuters.”
“People of Praise is basically a Bible study—and just like billions of Christians around the world, Judge Barrett reads the Bible, prays, and tries to serve her community,” Sasse said. “Senators should condemn this wacky McCarthyism.”
Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network and a devout Catholic, told Just the News that anti-Christian attacks against Barrett could hurt Democrats by galvanizing voters who believe in religious freedom.
“I don’t think religious bigotry, is something the American people want to see,” Severino said. “And I think that the Democrats would be wrong to go down that route, and I think the American people will reject that.”
She said that these latest anti-Catholic attacks are nothing new in American public life and that Barrett isn’t the only nominee that has suffered these attacks.
Severino noted an incident in 2018 when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) raised concerns about federal judicial nominee Brian Buescher’s membership in the Knights of Columbus.
“This flies right in the face of the Constitution’s demand that there not be religious tests for office. It’s outrageous, and I’m ashamed to say the party of JFK is going down this line,” she said.
Severino tweeted out several excerpts from a 1960 speech that then-candidate John F. Kennedy gave to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association:
“[C]ontrary to common newspaper usage, I am not the Catholic candidate for president. I am the Democratic Party’s candidate for president, who happens also to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me,” Kennedy was quoted in Severino’s tweet.
On 9/12/1960, JFK told the Greater Houston Ministerial Association: “I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish;…and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all….” (1/8) pic.twitter.com/RXr4orbEBd — Carrie Severino (@JCNSeverino) September 24, 2020
Prior to Barrett’s successful 2017 U.S. Senate 55-to-43 confirmation vote for a seat on the 7th District Court of Appeals, the former Notre Dame law professor was questioned by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) about whether Barrett would be objective in her rulings or if she was too heavily influenced by her faith.
“I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the Dogma lives loudly within you,” Feinstein said. “And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have thought fought for–for years–in this country.”
Severino said anti-Catholic bias is “the last remaining prejudice that is a socially acceptable.”
“They have said, time and again, literally, nothing’s off the table,” Severino said.
Severino also notes that the “particularly inappropriate when you consider Justice Ginsburg on very eloquent statements about her own faith and how her Jewish faith influenced her choice to go into the law and her pursuit of justice in her own life. This is something that is firmly entrenched as an American value, and I would have hoped would be one that the Democratic Party would endorse, as well. Again, this is the party of JFK, this is the party of RBG. It’s outrageous that they would be going down a line of attack of attacking a nominee, because of her deeply held religious faith.”
Severino called on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, both whom are Catholic, to condemn attacks on a nominee’s faith.
Just the News previously reported that Joe Biden’s Catholic faith continues to clash with his publicly stated position on abortion, a discordance that has put him at odds with some Church leadership even as it appears to matter relatively little to Catholic voters.
Father Frank Pavone, a Catholic priest and director of the pro-life advocacy group Priests For Life, said any religious attacks on someone seeking a public service role are unconstitutional.
“Remember, our Constitution prohibits a religious test for public office, whether it’s president, senator, judge, or anything.” Pavone told Just the News in an interview. “If to make your decision about someone to be in a particular public office or not, you’ll look at the job description of the office, you’ll look at that, not what that candidate believes in his religious life. You look at what that candidate is promising to do in his or her office, which he or she wants to assume. And then you look at a third question, what’s the evidence that this candidate will be able to carry out the responsibilities of the office to which they aspire?”

Commenting on the Political Scene, a Minefield of Emotionally Based Reactionism
Commentary by TLB Contributing Partner: Randy Maugans
I have to put this out there. I hate commenting on the political scene, as it is a minefield of emotionally based reactionism. And, I get it – that we all want a respite from the endless roiling storms of geopolitical gamesmanship that disrupt peaceful, productive lives.
I have watched now, for over four years, as the corrosive process of splintering the psyche of America, hence the world, has reached proportions not seen since the 1930s rise of the Third Reich. The lobotomy of the collective is in effect.
As the two sides of the political spectrum have become more stark in their oppositional shadows, each drawing into their gravity the respective mass of human passions; and amplified by events that uproot our fundamental “reality”; even some of the most grounded among us have shifted footing to embrace clinging to the splinters of a sinking ship of state once called “America”.
The “alt-media”, of which I am often mistakenly lumped into, and including some of my dear friends, (ex)colleagues, and respected voices; has, also been lured into the creeping desperation of “hope” that Donald J. Trump represents a sea of change in American direction.
No, I’m NOT arguing for the dreadful specter of an America run by leftist-posturing Biden and Harris. In fact, strategically, the Democratic ticket is a train wreck as acknowledged by that party’s own pundits. They simply represent how visionless and bereft of new vitality that once great party has become.
That the two parties (and that is ALL that there really are!) are now such fossilized and lunging monsters of a monolith called THE STATE is all one must observe in order to assess the futility of this GAME. It is the final crush of the Hegelian dialectic in play. The worst have become so bad that we will choose the lesser evil!
I have always allowed for a small margin of optimism regarding Trump. I deeply dislike him while, at times, admiring his ability to maneuver the landscape. Like Obama, I held out a small hope that he could, despite his flaws, display the integrity and resolution to at least stabilize the process and foster a better vision despite the corrupt system they inhabit.
But, mass human nature is still too unevolved to resist hero worship (and it it’s opposite, scapegoating), to pick up the mantle of INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, and not fall prey to again laying laurels at feet of clay. The mind control that has worked its lines of dissimulation via Antifa and BLM on the left, and MAGA/QANON on the right, continues its toll in the ranks of the so-called “woke”.
Even the appearance of extolling any more of the pretense that Trump is anything other than the next brand of pseudo-change, to assuage the public consciousness—-while cauterizing its remaining cognitive abilities is repugnant to me. The ruse of the < wink wink > crypto semantics of Q messages and veiled insider revelations are B movie plots without popcorn. Wake the hell up!
Or not.
We cannot know what truly lives in another’s heart. To the extent that any of these political actors may harbor some good will, I wish them well. Regardless,there WILL be an election. It WILL be razor thin. Regardless of the outcome (which I see as being for Trump, but highly contested), the polarization will only escalate.
Wisely, the scripture of the New Testament gave us an admonition: Be in the world, not OF it.
Politics and voting are silly, futile, wasteful exercises in GIVING UP YOUR (PSYCHIC) POWER. Expecting to solve the problems of a society corrupted by THE STATE via using their processes is Einsteinian idiocy and Stockholm Syndrome.
To whatever small degree I have influence to persuade, it IS to direct this energetic outpouring towards ADVANCING the human collective in harnessing their inherent INTENTIONALITY towards creations of new vision, inspiring the embrace of our profound SPIRITUAL POWER, and simply turning our backs on the SYSTEM OF THE STATE and our hearts toward each other. Let this system whither and die from neglect.
In lieu of VOTING, CAMPAIGNING, and political machinations, use this time and energy to PURPOSEFULLY engage in focused visioning, creative interactions, and community building. Leave the rancor and divisions of the political machine and it’s archontic lords to parasitically starve, as they have lived from our blood for too long.
I speak this in great LOVE and COMPASSION for ALL living Beings.

Biden continues to spout nonsense and forget things
By Andrea Widburg
There’s some debate going on in conservative circles about whether Biden will show up at the debate and, if he does, whether he’ll be an incoherent mess or unexpectedly competent. The debate will continue thanks to Biden’s Saturday performance. The news yielded two epic Slow Joe moments, a Hitler insult, and a lie. Joe, however, is assuring anyone who will listen that he’ll do fine at the debate because Trump is “not that smart.” Whatever they’re pumping into Joe, it must be good stuff.
No matter how carefully Biden’s handlers are keeping him cocooned, and how foreshortened his days (with Biden often signing off as early as 9 a.m.), Biden still has to make the occasional appearance. On Saturday, Joe presented Americans with two farcical moments, one typical lie, and a disgraceful statement about Trump.
On the farcical front, Joe seemed a little unclear about how old he is. We know that, if he were to win, he would be the oldest person ever to become president, but this is ridiculous:
Well, in all fairness of COURSE he’s exhausted. I mean, 180 years in the Senate. C’mon, man! That’s a lot of work. #TiredOldJoe pic.twitter.com/elrDp8Tp2p — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 26, 2020
I guess when you’re that old, you’re entitled to forget a few things. That’s what Biden did when talking to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, although she was very willing to help him out:
Awkward. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle just had to help Joe Biden remember what he’s talking about after he loses his train of thought pic.twitter.com/5u49j8P9zU — TV News HQ (@TVNewsHQ) September 26, 2020
News also emerged on Saturday that Biden, whose presidential aspirations were derailed in 1987 because of his compulsive lying, was caught in another lie:
Last year, Biden claimed on the campaign trail to have attended Delaware State University, one of the country’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). “I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State — now, I don’t want to hear anything negative about Delaware State,” Mr. Biden told the audience of a town hall event in South Carolina before the state’s Democratic primary. “They’re my folks.” On Friday, the school confirmed that Biden’s claim isn’t true. Biden was never a student there. “Vice President Biden did not attend DSU,” Carlos Holmes, director of news service for Delaware State, told the Washington Times. “However he was the Commencement keynote speaker in 2003 and [2016], and during the former he was awarded an honorary doctoral degree.”
Given Joe’s history of lying, you’d think he might have wanted to think twice – assuming he’s capable of thinking at all – before using the Ruhle interview to accuse Trump of engaging in Goebbel-style lies. But he didn’t think twice; he just went for it:
Joe Biden says Donald Trump is “sort of like” Nazi official Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels helped carry out the systematic murder of more than six million Jewish people. This is a disgusting thing for a politician to say. pic.twitter.com/xJQFGpQD2k — David Hookstead (@dhookstead) September 26, 2020
Joe is confused, forgetful, dishonest, and malevolent. But the important thing is that he feels good about himself. In that same Ruhle interview, Biden proudly announced that Trump is just too dumb to make a decent showing on the debate stage opposite Biden. (Stick around for the commentary afterward in the above video. It’s unintentionally funny.)
Much as I think Biden’s a moron, he’s also going to be super prepped, super rested, and perhaps super augmented with all sorts of interesting medicinals. We also know that he’s had a lot of debate practice during three Democrat primaries over the past three and half decades and that he can spout a line of meaningless B.S. with the best of them. And of course, he’s a bully, as we saw with his beat-down of Paul Ryan in 2012. Trump would be wise not to underestimate him.
Having said that, I’m reasonably confident that Biden is not Trump’s equal, and that Trump will display mastery of the facts and mastery over himself. The latter will enable Trump to poke Joe in ways that will make Joe, who’s always had limited self-control, reveal his most ugly qualities.

New CDC Estimates: Fatality Rate For C-19 Drops Again & May Surprise You
(ZeroHedge)
Submitted by Mark Glennon of Wirepoints
What are the real chances of dying if you are infected with COVID-19? You’ll probably be surprised how low they are according to new numbers from the Center for Disease Control. We’ll state those numbers simply for those of you who aren’t crazy about math.
The CDC’s new estimate, for the first time, is broken down by age groups. Here is what the CDC calls its “current best estimate” of chances of dying from the virus if you get infected:
1 out of 34,000 for ages 0 to 19;
1 out of 5,000 for ages 20 to 49;
1 out of 200 for ages 50 to 69; and
1 out of 20 for ages 70 and up.
Here’s another way to look at the same numbers. If you get infected, your chances of surviving are as follows:
Age Group Probability of Survival
0-19: 99.997%
20-49: 99.98%
50-69: 99.5%
70+: 94.6%
The CDC’s numbers are actually published as what’s called the “Infection Fatality Ratio” or IFR. The relevant portion of their chart is reproduced below. We’ve just stated their numbers a different way and rounded a bit. IFR includes, as those who were “infected,” those who got the virus but never got sick or displayed symptoms.
The CDC’s “best estimate” may be off and it offered other scenarios, also shown in the chart below. They are all very low, however, as you can see. For those age 20-49, for example, even under the worse case scenario, the IFR is only .0003. That means your chances of dying even if you got infected would be 1 out of 3,333.
Estimates of COVID’s lethality have been dropping regularly. In March, when most of the nation went into lockdown, Dr. Anthony Fauci (pitcured here) estimated the mortality rate at about 2% and the World Health Organization pegged it at about 3.4%. Both are far higher than the current CDC estimate.
Those earlier numbers, which were far more frightening, got extensive press coverage. Very little media attention, however, has gone toward the new numbers.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
