Trump administration looks to strip Catholic-owned lands along border

Trump administration looks to strip Catholic-owned lands along border

Mount Cristo Rey is a mountain along the southern border with Mexico. It has served as a pilgrimage site topped by a 29-foot-tall limestone statue of Jesus Christ since 1940. Each year, thousands of people from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border make a pilgrimage up the mountain to the cross.

The diocese has raised concerns about the government's action, stating that religious freedom will be violated if the wall is constructed.

"The erection of a border wall through or along this holy site could irreparably damage its religious and cultural sanctity, obstruct pilgrimage routes, and transfer sacred space into a symbol of division," the Diocese of Las Cruces said in the legal documents. "Any federal action to seize this land, construct physical barriers, or impede access to Mount Cristo Rey would constitute a significant infringement on religious freedom and the rights of worship."

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth

At the morgue, the babies were brought in with their diapers and blankets and with their hospital ID bracelets still wrapped around their tiny ankles. The pathologists’ findings were like those you would typically see in ailing adults, not newborns — the kind of bleeding seen during strokes or brain tissue loss similar to what happens when radiation is administered to treat cancer.

Their autopsies, which took place over the last several years, all came to the same conclusion: The deaths were caused, in whole or in part, by a rare but potentially fatal condition known as vitamin K deficiency bleeding.

In almost every case, the babies’ deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin K shot. But across the country, families — first in smatterings, now in droves — are declining the single, inexpensive injection given at birth to newborns to help their blood clot.

It seems everyone is scrambling to find the one person responsible for the end of the podcast.

Who can we blame for this painful loss? Dan? Jordan? The Onion? Sneaky Snake Joe Rogan???

I would like to make the case for Alex Jones.

This podcast began with the boys digging 20 years into the past, finding fascinating information about Secret Mars Bases, Tunnels under the Vatican, and the Architect of 9/11: Angela Merkel. They watched a documentary about A Big Scary Road.

Alex Jones billed himself as a countercultural figure. Neither right nor left, Just Asking Questions in the worst way. The Health Ranger cured Ebola, Stevie P. killed a guy, and Leo Zagami was on the turntables.

The show morphed when Jones went on trial, and Deposition became the new word of the day. But the podcast and the trial laid bare the fraud that is Alex Jones.

That man grew old, weak, and worst of all, into a partisan hack. For the last year InfoWars has been nothing but a sad old man reading White Nationalist Twitter live on air.

Tim Poole's show revealed he is no longer an interesting subject, just a pathetic old drunk.

Jones himself is no longer worthy.

Thank you Dan. Thank you Jordan. And of course,

Go fuck yourself Alex Jones.

“When you look at it, one thing after another, you can really realize how overwhelming it has been for those of us who are in the autism trenches trying to combat this misinformation and stigmatizing language and these bad decisions, as well as how dedicated this government is to spreading misinformation and to pursuing policies that damage public health,”
