Barking mad or brilliant? New York City lawmakers are proposing a bill to let Big Apple workers take time off to care for their sick furry family members. The proposal, sponsored by city council member Shaun Abreu, would amend and expand the Earned Safe and Sick Time Act — which requires companies to give employees paid sick leave to care for themselves or family members — to include pets and service animals. Abreu touted mental health as a reason to incentivize pet ownership with the amended bill, citing research that owning pets can reduce cortisol, a stress-related hormone, and force...

The following is a report from Gateway Hispanic. The Chilean Congress has passed a law to protect the rights of domestic animals. It criminalizes the slaughter, distribution, and commercialization of the meat of pets and companion animals. The Chilean congressman José Carlos Meza authored the bill. This measure arises from reports about the consumption of dog and cat meat in certain foreign communities within the country, particularly the Haitian community, according to Deputy José Carlos Meza, the bill’s author. In Chile, it is documented that foreign communities, particularly Haitians, consume the meat of domestic animals and pets, such as cats....

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio—"If we only had 5,000, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now," says Reverend Barron—real name Kenneth Selig—in what’s become a common refrain in the embattled city of Springfield, Ohio. Barron, a street preacher, food truck owner, and former warehouse manager, has emerged as a colorful champion for the small city as it struggles through an unprecedented transformation. As many as 20,000 Haitian immigrants, city officials say, have arrived in Springfield since the pandemic, swelling its population to almost 80,000. Times were already tough before the rumors started swirling about migrants eating cats, dogs, and geese. "Look man,...

Only Rayne Beau, a house cat from Salinas, California, knows how he survived 60 days on his own and traveled 800 miles from Yellowstone National Park to a shelter in Roseville, California, about 200 miles from home. Rayne Beau was traveling with his owners, Benny and Susanne Anguiano, camping in Yellowstone National Park in June. For reasons known only to himself, the cat got spooked, ran off into the wilderness at their campsite and disappeared. The Anguianos told KSBW TV news in Salinas this week that they spent several days trying to find Rayne Beau and lure him back, while...

Haitians don't stop being Haitians just because they've entered the American border. And hating #Trump like joyboy Buttigieg (aka Butt boy) does, just won't change the facts. They're eating the dogs and cats.

Former President Donald Trump said at a rally Wednesday that he would travel to Springfield, Ohio, the focal point of unsubstantiated claims targeting Haitian migrants, "in the next two weeks." "I’m going to go there in the next two weeks. I’m going to Springfield, and I’m going to Aurora" in Colorado, Trump said at a rally in Uniondale, New York. Trump has pushed baseless claims that Haitian migrants in the beleaguered Ohio city are eating pets, which have repeatedly been debunked. His running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, and the ticket's allies have also spread the lie.

My follow up of the issues about the Haitian community living in Springfield, Ohio my hometown. Once again not all FAKE NEWS.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is an immigration designation available to Haitians and foreign nationals from 15 other countries that allows them to live and work in the U.S. for up to 18 months, subject to extension or redesignation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Many Haitians in Springfield are eligible to apply for TPS status and once approved for TPS they can immediately apply for a work permit. Immigrants who have the TPS designation or are applying for it may also apply for asylum, but face long waits for consideration of their asylum claims. Congress created TPS in 1990,...

Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Springfield, OH officials say Haitian migrants have not been eating pets. DeWine said, “Look, there’s a lot of garbage on the Internet, and, you know, this is a piece of garbage that was simply not true. There’s no evidence of this at all.” He added, “There are hate groups coming into Springfield. We don’t need these hate groups. I saw a piece of literature yesterday that the mayor told me about from, purportedly, the KKK. Look. Springfield is a good city. They are good people. They are welcoming people....

Christopher Rufo was very frustrated with the 'immigrants eating cats' stories. Half of America is up in arms about it and the other half are calling those people liars and racists. It was out of control. Rufo decided to offer a reward for evidence it was happening. He stipulated it must have happened this past summer. The proof is in. EXCLUSIVE: We have discovered that migrants are, in fact, eating cats in Ohio. We have verified, with multiple witnesses and visual cross-references, that African migrants in Dayton, the next city over from Springfield, barbecued these cats last summer.https://t.co/8QveTJy4Vp pic.twitter.com/PxuJQ7fJc9 —...

When my family moved back to the United States from East Africa in the mid-1980s, one might have thought it was a peak time of compassion for people suffering in faraway places. A glittering group of music superstars had recorded “We Are the World,” a smash hit charity single to raise money and awareness for the victims of a brutal famine that had gripped my mother’s home country, Ethiopia.But when I told my new grade school classmates of my origins, I was met with cruel taunts. I was awfully fat for an Ethiopian, one said with a snigger. Must be...

A shocking Facebook post from a local Springfield community group has sparked alarm after a resident shared a disturbing exchange with her neighbor regarding the safety of pets and local wildlife. The post, shared by a concerned resident, began with a stark warning: “Warning to all about our beloved pets & those around us!!!”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Springfield, Ohio residents have alleged Haitians in their town are “grabbing up ducks by their necks, decapitating them, and walking off with them to eat.” Others revealed how the massive influx of immigrants, thanks to border czar Kamala Harris, has drained Springfield’s resources and turned a once-safe city into a crime-ridden hell.

VIDEOPut this at the top of the category of Memes Gone Wrong. Megaphonix took a clip of the left-wing nephew of the Young Turks Chunk Yogurt, Hasan Piker, reacting to Donald Trump at the debate and remixed it as a supposed anti-Trump meme. Unfortunately for Megaphonix that meme was fully embraced by MAGA to the extent that it was taken down. However, since so many MAGA folks copied that meme before the takedown it will live on forever as a MAGA meme much to the consternation of poor TDS Megaphonix.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, though in this instance, it’s not a statement regarding some appalling examples of liberal media bias. For the Ohio Haitians ‘eating the pets’ story, it’s pure entertainment, maybe a touch of schadenfreude: the liberal media is being tortured in their attempt to neutralize the story. Contrary to the establishment press, this story hasn’t been debunked. There’s no way within 48-72 hours that authorities can verify dogs and cats are not being eaten by the tens of thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.

A new remix song about one brief comment from former President Donald Trump during the debate against Kamala Harris has taken social media platforms by storm. On Tuesday night, Trump drew attention to problems in Springfield, Ohio, wrought by an influx of Haitian immigrants who have allegedly defied local laws and customs regarding animals. "In Springfield, they’re eating dogs," Trump said, referring to the Haitian immigrants. "They’re eating the cats. They’re eating ... the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame." At the time, Harris snickered with condescension...
