Take a look at the video from nearby New Mexico, which is seeing a surge of illegal alien evaders [&#8230;] You&#8217;ll see illegal immigrants dressed in dark clothing, sometimes camouflage, trying to sneak into the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#39;s see how Fox News is covering today&#39;s eclipse.<\/p>\n<p>Dana Perino: &quot;Fox News alert! A rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border is directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5bDhjEQNqY\">pic.twitter.com\/5bDhjEQNqY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinbaragona\/status\/1777337618490933584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right! The eclipse is really a clandestine operation by liberals &#8211; probably run by the evil mastermind, President Biden, and financed by George Soros &#8211; aimed at smuggling terrorist migrants into America to vote for Biden and other Democrats. Who knew? And who but Fox News would expose this nefarious plot?<\/p>\n<p>The America-haters responsible for devising this plan to create a deluge of foreign <em>&#8220;invaders&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; in a four minute cloak of darkness &#8211; have thought of everything. Including dark and camouflage clothing to keep them from being spotted in the unprecedented absence of daylight. Naturally, Fox News ignores that there are about twelve hours of darkness every day when the earth itself blots out the sun. Is Biden responsible for that too?<\/p>\n<p>This kind of reporting is somehow accepted by the MAGA cult that watches Fox News. They are the same people who are asserting that the eclipse is a warning from god to repent. Which raises some interesting questions. For instance, if it is a warning from god, then why is it being thrust upon the people of Texas and other Southern states first? Wouldn&#8217;t that imply that they are the sinners?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent.<\/p>\n<p>Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come.<\/p>\n<p>I pray that our country listens. ?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Marjorie Taylor Greene ??

That, at least, would be consistent with the bible&#8217;s advocacy of welcoming and caring for refugees.<\/p>\n<p>This is where it is important to stress that searching for logic in the ravings of Fox News reporters and Republicans is likely to cause a traumatic brain injury. So remember on this day not to stare into the sun or try to decipher the irrational ravings of MAGA cult conspiracy theorists.
