FAKE  NEWS  
ALTERNATIVE FACTS 


17,345,067  Catholics, 18,987,583 Baptists, 1,783,756 Jews, 1,563,592 Presbyterians, 4,567,342 Lutherans, 789,987 Muslims, 456,734 Buddhists, 978,000 Anglicans, 3,458,087 Methodists - and many more folks  from all sorts of religious groups and communities, headed for these holding cages along our southern borders.

Then non-church going folks joined the march south. This group was estimated to be well over 28,000,000 million people.

In all the different group there were young people. Parents wanted to show their children what was morally wrong - and what one needs to do when one sees sin on the borders and heartlands of our world.

In those groups there also  were ministers, bishops, cardinals, nuns, priests, rabbis, imams, and various other religious leaders.

In those groups there were mayors, psychologists, social workers and lawyers.  There were small business owners who were feeling the pinch and the loss of so many hard working people who were grabbed by immigration officials.

They went by car, train, plane, bus, motor cycles, bikes, wheel chairs and on foot.

They marched right at these detention centers - in tsunami sized waves of people - a gigantic wall of people - and the guards and police - just stepped back - opened all the doors - in fact - most joined them - and they rescued all the children.

Morality was in the air.  The Spirit of God blew through our land.

They embraced the children - held them - raised them on high -  brought them to the nearest McDonald's, Wendy’s, Burger King, ice cream stands, any and every food place in the area.

Doctors and nurses joined in to make sure each kid was okay - and which ones needed to get to a hospital.

Then the crowds, smiling, laughing, toasting each other, started to chant:

“Let’s make America great
once again, once again.
Let’s make America great,
once again, once again.”

Others chanted in response, “Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can.”

Then the people said, “Let’s find their parents and aunts and uncles, grandparents, relatives. Let’s set these people free.”

Accountants, organizers,  people with computers and laptops, set up lines and translators to figure out who these kids were - where their parents were - and how we can connect each other with each other once again.

Something happened to America once again.

You won’t believe this. It’s incredible. The Lady in the Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, smiled and started to dance, and her torch became brighter than 10,000 suns - and her light could be seen in Canada, Mexico, El Salvador, both Koreas, China as well as Russia - and all over our world.

Andy Costello,
