Boner Candidate #1: THEY’RE COMING TO GET YOU WITH SMALL POX.
As immigration opponents continue to froth over the caravan making its way from Central America toward the United States, some are floating the idea that asylum-seekers will bring disease with them—including one that was wiped out nearly 40 years ago.
The right-wing magazine The New American ran a story over the weekend headlined: “Will Migrant Caravan Kill Your Child—With Disease?”
“What about diseases?” Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Monday. Later, Fox News contributor Sidney Powell suggested that the current outbreak of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) affecting children was because of migrants—prompting host Lou Dobbs to correct her on air.
And former immigration agent David Ward, also appearing on Fox, cited a disease that doesn’t actually exist anymore.
Boner Candidate #2: WAY TO GO. WAY TO RUIN HALLOWEEN.
A family pumpkin patch was forced to close for the season after vandals destroyed its pumpkin crop and decorations.
Jasmin Rojas, co-owner of Rojas Farms near 3000 West and 7800 South in West Jordan, said when they closed Saturday, everything was fine. Then when they came to open on Sunday, they discovered that someone had vandalized their pumpkin patch. “Someone had just gone and basically destroyed everything. They destroyed our crops. They stole some of our mini wheelbarrows that we use for our kids to use,” Rojas said. “It was really a sad scene to just come to.” Photos posted to Facebook show broken and smashed pumpkins, scarecrow decorations snapped in half, a huge spider feature crumpled. Hundreds of pumpkins are destroyed by vandals at the pumpkin patch near 3000 W. and 7800 South in West Jordan over the weekend. On Monday, Oct. 29, 2018, the owners of Rojas Farms say they have to close for the season, much earlier than normal, due to the vandalization.
