Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Fifty-one present and former intelligence officials have signed a report that stories of disturbing behavior by illegal aliens in Springfield, OH and Aurora, CO are consistent with Russian disinformation. Bill Kristol has suggested that these towns may not even exist.
The Aurora, Colorado story of local officials surrendering buildings to Venezuelan gangs has been given professional MSM treatment--mandatory silence until it goes away. However, the story of Haitians eating cats has been much harder to suppress from social media and has sparked enormous pushback from the Harris-Walz campaign and its media surrogates. I suspect this is because their internal polling has confirmed Sen. Vance’s observation that their core constituency really is the single cat lady demographic. Additionally, liberals actually care about whales, cats and puppies rather than the poor and minorities they only pretend to like.
PBS reported that the influx of Haitians in Ohio has been a blessing and any negative perceptions are wrong. The New York Times echoed that with the identical spin that the GOP has unfairly pounced. We are told the matter is settled because the local police have no reports of missing pets. (In my hometown, the police don’t handle missing pets—you call animal control, post signs, or use social media. Haitians could be eating dozens of local cats and the local county and city police blotters would have no record unless the pets were grabbed out of the owner’s arms or somebody set up a cat barbecue in a highway median strip.)
The larger controlling official lie is that we can no longer hope to deport the huge mass of illegals, so we are forced to accept it and just sit back and wait for a federal judge or a Democratic Congress & President to require they be registered to vote. The feds will continue to deposit them wherever they choose, especially in red states. The beatdowns will continue until morale improves.
The invaluable Babylon Bee has characteristically dug deeper into the economic effects of the issue than did the MSM:

Somewhere, two Harris campaign interns are talking and saying how icky it is that people keep finding out about these bad things, and wonder if the internet can't be turned off so they won't. They don't, of course, realize the weight of their words and maybe never will.

Would that it were just those two interns and not higher-ups in media, Google, Facebook, et al. I am continually surprised by what my lefty friends and acquaintances have not heard.

FYI, in my hometown, Animal Control is part of the police department, and is considered by the police guy on duty at the emergency room to be "us." I learned this back in 2017 when a dog bit me while I was bicycling. It may work differently in other jurisdictions.

It's like the window-lickers staffing PBS and the New York Times have never been to this country. Or dealt with a police department. That could be a fun project for them. Phone their local police and inquire as to the procedure for reporting a missing pet. Be sure to have a staff member who is not easily triggered make the call.
Note to the Chicago Tribune – you'd better not.

Harris is promising to put actual voodoo into her economic plan.
