CLIFF KINCAID — CNBC has been a good source for stock market updates and "Shark Tank" programs about new products. Its daytime schedule is best known for the antics of Jim Cramer, a booster of pot stocks who also provides analysis of financial markets. On Wednesday, however, former Fox News gay anchor Shepard Smith begins hosting his own Trump-bashing program on CNBC. This marks a definite turn to the left for the business channel.... (more)

BARBARA KRALIS — We live today in a most difficult time, perhaps the time foretold by the Holy prophets before us when Satanic evil will happen so quickly and so often that it will be impossible to keep up with it all. Two very conclusive important battles against America and the Christian Church are upon us, in the weeks to come, as a Senate Judiciary Committee meets to confirm a Catholic federal judge to the Supreme Court, and as the 2020 presidential election takes place beginning November 3rd....

PETER LEMISKA — Democrats have spent a lot of time in recent years trying to shake off the label of "socialist." Barack Obama used to brush it aside, scoff at it. When Joe Biden was asked about it recently, he answered more directly, boasting, "I beat the socialist... Do I look like a socialist?" Then, as if to erase any lingering doubts, he added emphatically, "I'm not a socialist."... (more)

SELWYN DUKE — Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is in the grip of "dogmas." So goes a criticism made, ironically, by the most dogmatic of people. In fact, the gripe reflects a certain dogma-born prejudice. Oh, I don't speak of the anti-Catholic, anti-"religious," anti-pro-life, and anti-conservative varieties, though they're also present. Nor do I refer to how a Muslim nominee would never be subjected to such scorn. Rather, the prejudice here is seldom recognized and something even good people may exhibit.... (more)

Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade interviews political debate coach Brett O'Donnell
FOX NEWS — Ahead of the first presidential debate scheduled for next week, Brett O'Donnell, a top GOP political debate coach, discussed the factors that could derail Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. "[Biden] has not done any tough interviews in this campaign so far, whether or not he can handle the toughest of interviews, a presidential debate, being attacked by the president and also tough questions from Chris Wallace in that first debate remains to be seen," O'Donnell told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday....

NATIONAL REVIEW — When Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett spoke in the White House Rose Garden following her formal nomination on Saturday evening, she was everything she's been made out to be: poised, smart, and kind-hearted. She began by honoring the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "The flag of the United States is still flying at half-staff, in memory of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to mark the end of a great American life," Barrett said. "Justice Ginsburg began her career at a time when women were not welcome in the legal profession. But she not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them.... (more)

CNN Editor-at-large Cillizza grudgingly concedes president's legacy (followed by attributing it to an act of God)
CNN — President Donald Trump has made no secret of his desire to write his name in history, to leave a presidential legacy that can't be erased no matter what happens on November 3. And now he has it. With his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court -- and her likely confirmation by the Senate by the end of next month -- Trump will have personally chosen one-third of the members of the nation's highest court and reshaped its ideology for decades to come....

FOX NEWS — President Trump's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett creates a real dilemma for the Democrats. Since President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Robert Bork to replace Justice Lewis Powell on the Supreme Court in 1987, the Democrats have followed a policy of harshness and ruthlessness in going after Republican Supreme Court nominees. The assault on Bork -- a scholarly and widely respected conservative member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit -- was so vicious and underhanded that the process of personal destruction came to be known as "borking." In fact, the savaging of Judge Bork was so infamous the Oxford English Dictionary added the verb "bork" as U.S. political slang: "[To] obstruct (someone, especially a candidate for public office) by systematically defaming or vilifying them."...

Phony ‘Steele dossier’ that was used to allow spying on Trump came from suspected Russian agent seen as ‘national security threat’; collusion story a product of Russian lies funded by Hillary
FOX NEWS — It was always a witch hunt designed to "get Trump." Collusion was an illusion invented by a suspected Russian spy but zealously embraced by malevolent actors at the FBI and later by scheming prosecutors on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of partisans. These are the stunning revelations contained in two sets of newly declassified documents that pull back the curtain on the Russia Hoax, the dirtiest political trick in American history.... (more)

Alex Berensen said masks have become a 'talisman,' an object believed to possess magic powers, while being mostly 'useless'
LIFE SITE NEWS — A former New York Times journalist who has become one of the nation's leading voices critical of heavy-handed tactics being exercised by the government during the pandemic explained that there is no scientific evidence to justify wearing masks in public spaces. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Alex Berenson, author of Unreported Truths about COVIS-19 and Lockdowns, Part 2, said masks "are at best marginally useful indoors in crowded settings. And the evidence that people have tried to drum up in the last six months to suggest otherwise is almost embarrassingly weak."... (more)

NATIONAL REVIEW — Senator Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) said on Tuesday that she wouldn't rule out voting to confirm President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court before election day. Murkowski initially opposed a vote before the elections, along with fellow moderate Senator Susan Collins (R., Maine). The GOP holds a 53-seat majority in the Senate, and with only Collins and Murkowski in opposition, Republicans were planning to confirm a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as fast as possible....

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Monday that Senate Republicans have the votes to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court nominee to fill the seat left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday night.
