Vanessa Tyson Releases Statement Accusing Justin Fairfax of Sexual Assault
Stanford fellow Vanessa Tyson came forward with a statement Wednesday accusing Virginia Democrat lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax of sexual assault at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, while Fairfax was working as John Edwards’ “body man” on the John Kerry campaign.
The Washington Post knew about the allegation but previously spiked the story. Tyson’s allegation came to light after Big League Politics published a private Facebook post which Tyson gave her friend in Richmond, Virginia permission to share around.
Tyson is represented by Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford’s legal team. (READ: Fairfax Attacks Accuser, Points To Fact That He’s Not Mentioned in Her Video Describing Incest Survival).

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.
