Stories of the Week

Story 1

CNN Reports Amy Coney Barrett Attended Bizarre Ceremony Where She Ate Flesh, Drank Blood Of Jewish Guy

Summary: In a disturbing new report, CNN has revealed the bizarre practices of the strange cult Amy Coney Berrett belongs to. Known to some as "Christendom," it features many ancient rituals that were recorded by undercover CNN journalists at a strange stone building on Sunday where the ceremonies were held. Secret cameras showed Amy Coney Barrett kneeling before a priest-type figure as he recited some kind of incantation in a dead tongue. The priest then held up a round wafer and a goblet of red liquid which he announced to be the true body and blood of a Jewish rabbi who died 2000 years ago.They then brought a newborn baby to a basin of water and attempted to drown it.

• Both Are In The Same Church, But Media Love Joe Biden's Faith And Hate Amy Coney Barrett's
• She has 7 children, 2 adopted Haitan children. Some people call that potentially problematic like Director Of Antiracist Research @ Boston University Ibram X. Kendi (TIME lists him in the top 100 most influential ppl…) saying White colonizers 'adopted' blacks and 'civilized' them to use as props..
• She belongs to a charismatic Catholic church called "People of Praise"
• Newsweek published and then "corrected" a headline stating that her church inspired The Handmaid's Tale
• What options do Dems have? They don't have the votes and there might be backlash if they are seen as attacking successful bright mother of 7

Summary: Trump is polling high among an unexpected group: libertarians, who were energized and drawn to Trump's cause after the New York Times revealed that he paid as little as $750 in federal taxes some years.

• It is illegal for the IRS to leak the personal tax returns of any individual. The Times is guarding its sources closely.
