Condolences ✝️ 🙏 "Church horror as priest is crushed to death by giant altar cross during livestreamed mass"

Fr. Patricio Sanchez had just adjusted his glasses when he was smashed onto the altar table in front of him.

Churchgoers rushed to help the priest who became pinned under the cross but he was killed instantly by the impact."

This is how ridiculous it gets in the UK now. If she was standing there and thinking about her lunch, no problem. If she was standing there praying for the protection of The Unborn, she deserves to be arrested. 

"

She was searched, arrested, and then interrogated. Police showed her pictures of herself standing near the clinic and asked her if she was praying. Vaughan-Spruce said she “might” have been praying but could not recall if she was praying at these specific moments, or whether she was thinking about something else, such as her lunch..."

"'Thou shalt not kill': 'Talafreako' claims Bible is 'silent' on abortion, gets demolished by facts "

"'The Bible is silent,' he says. Yeah, that's not how this works. The Bible is explicit. God didn't stutter when He commanded us not to kill innocent humans. Scripture makes it completely clear how He feels about preborn babies, explicitly stating that He knit us together in the womb and knew us before we were even born."

There was no business need for the fridge controllers to be accessible on the public internet,” he said. “What I do recommend is that the boards of businesses ask probing questions of their suppliers. Who outsourced the management of these fridges and who had contractual oversight for their security? It doesn’t take much for one blind spot in a business to lead to tonnes of trashed food.”

"Judicial Watch Goes to Court to Force Detroit to Release Animal Kill Numbers from Abdul El-Sayed’s ‘Slaughterhouse’ Years -

Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the City of Detroit to compel the release of animal euthanasia records from the period when Abdul El-Sayed served as the city's health director. 

As part of the public discussion surrounding the lawsuit, critics have noted that Abdul El-Sayed is Muslim, raising arguments regarding Islamic traditions and dogs. 

In Islamic jurisprudence, opinions on dogs vary, though a dominant view across several major schools of thought considers a dog's saliva to be ritually impure, which affects the cleanliness required for daily prayers. 

Consequently, many traditional Muslims avoid keeping dogs inside their homes as pets.
