“Within a week she seemed back to normal. What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain, poised to exact a terrible toll years later…. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more.
Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?
