Mexican journalists and the ‘Day of the dead’ - American Thinker https://t.co/KefwMNJtW8

Up here, we celebrate Halloween. Down south of the border, they celebrate “Day of the dead” today and tomorrow. I have no idea if there is a connection between the two celebrations but there are lots of costumes. There are also floats and musical groups.
This year, the day comes with more bad news about journalists killed. It’s the first under “La Presidenta” and sadly won’t be the last. Let’s check the story from Melissa Castro:
Mexico holds the dubious distinction of being the most dangerous country in the Americas for journalists. Unfortunately, that doesn’t look like it’s a honorific that will be changing anytime soon.
On Tuesday, Oct. 29, Mauricio Solís Cruz, publisher of media Minuto x Minuto Michoacán, and host of Uruapan local radio program La Jirbilla Night Show, was shot dead by as-of-yet unidentified armed assailants.
Solis Cruz’s murder is the first killing of a journalist under the new government of President Claudia Sheinbaum, albeit not the first attack on the media since she took office on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
According to Reporters Without Borders more than 150 media members have been killed in Mexico in the last 30 years.
It’s more violence in a country where the leadership wants to tackle the bad guys with hugs rather than bullets. The government wants to hug but the bad guys use bullets. Are you surprised that Mexicans are questioning the policy? The good guys are getting killed and nothing is done to protect them.
We don’t know why Mauricio Solís Cruz was killed. As they say, let’s wait for the investigation. Nevertheless, we do know that he was reporting something that some people did not want to see reported. They kill you for doing that in Mexico.
Rest in peace Mauricio. Let’s continue to support the journalists in Mexico who are actually doing journalism and risking their lives on a daily basis.

"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor -- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."Amazing proclamation!
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be -- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks -- for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation -- for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the tranquility [sic], union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed -- for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted -- for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions -- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually -- to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed -- to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn [sic] kindness onto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord -- To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease [sic] of science among them and us -- and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
George Washington"
