Son of New Jersey Federal Judge Overseeing Epstein Litigation Killed in Home Invasion, Husband Shot
A significant manhunt is on for a suspect in the shooting of two men related to a New Jersey federal judge, one of whom died on Sunday night.
Daniel Anderl, 20, the son of US District Court of New Jersey Esther Salas, died on Monday after being shot. Mark Anderl, the judge’s husband, was also shot and seriously injured in what appears to be a sort of home invasion or possible assassination attempt.
Preliminary reports suggest that a man dressed in FedEx clothing arrived at the Salas home in Newark, New Jersey, possibly hoping to trick the inhabitants to greet him. The suspect shot Daniel Anderl as he opened the door, later shooting Mark Anderl when he rushed to confront the sudden commotion before fleeing the scene.
A massive manhunt for the suspect, who remains at large, is underway, involving the FBI as well as the New Jersey State Police.
Judge Salas had only two days ago been assigned a federal lawsuit between Germany’s Deutsch Bank and its shareholders, with litigants accusing the European bank of improperly accounting for the holdings of certain clients such as Jeffrey Epstein. Deutsch Bank has already been compelled to pay a fine of $150 million for compliance failures related to its dealings with Epstein.

Southern Baptist Convention Reverses Course on Name Change After BLP Reporting
They say they’re not changing their name.
The Southern Baptist Convention has sought to dispel reporting from Big League Politics on the organization’s planned name change, arguing that the institution isn’t formally changing its name.
To correct multiple inaccurate reports, “We Are Great Commission Baptists” is the 2021 Annual Meeting THEME.
The GCB descriptor was approved in 2012 for churches to use if it would be helpful in their local context.
The Southern Baptist Convention remains our official name.
— SBC Executive Committee (@SBCExecComm) September 17, 2020
But a close look at the American Christian church’s plans relating to its name reveal that it’s played with the idea far more seriously than they’re making it seem.
Reports of a name change first emerged in a Washington Post article published on Tuesday. SBC President JD Greear told the Post that “hundreds of churches” affiliated with the denomination had “committed” to using the phrase “Great Commission Baptist” as an alternative to the denomination’s longtime moniker. The change would come as Greear touts his support of the Black Lives Matter, although he’s been careful in pointing out he doesn’t support any formal organization related to the movement. Greear also is renaming the church he personally pastors with the term.
The SBC’s 2021 convention will also organize under the motto of “We Are Great Commission Baptists.” Sounds a lot like a name change, even if the SBC’s leadership is steadfastly maintaining it isn’t.
The name ‘Great Commission Baptist’ is theologically sound in the Christian religion, but it’s somewhat questionable that the organization’s leader appears to be emphasizing it at a moment in which political correctness is making its entryism into many Christian churches and organizations.
It seems as if the organization’s figurehead is keen to present himself as a liberal-style suburban Evangelical to the Washington Post, but he changed his tune quite quickly when the rank and file membership of Southern Baptist churches learned that he was promoting the idea of a name change.
