Springfield Police Chief Slammed For Refusing To Answer Reporter’s Questions

The police chief of Springfield, Ohio, has come under fire for refusing to answer reporter questions in relation to reported threats of violence in the town.

Springfield was thrust into the national spotlight at the start of September amid allegations that Haitian migrants were eating pets. Since then, the town has become a metaphor for the country’s growing problems related to as crime and immigration.

A series of violent threats have since plagued the residents. A shooting was threatened at Clark State College on Saturday, Sept. 14 – one day before a bomb threat was sent to the same school – forcing the campus to close for virtual learning this week instead.

Springfield Police Chief Allison Elliott held a press conference on Sunday, Sept. 15 regarding the threats. However, she provided little information beyond what local law enforcement had already confirmed, and refused to take any questions on the threats. When one reporter asked whether the threats were related to each other or the heightened attention on the town, Elliott responded, “Again, we are not taking questions at this time.”

Protests from reporters were met with the city manager’s media office offering to respond via email.

It later turned out that the bomb threats and shooting threats were all hoaxes.

At a press conference, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said that all 33 bomb threats against schools in Springfield were hoaxes from overseas. “There have been bomb threats, each one of which has been responded to, and each one of which has been found as a hoax. So 33 threats, I will make that very, very clear, none of these had any validity at all,” DeWine said. 

Many on social media were equally critical over the lack of transparency from Chief Allison Elliot.

The issue of immigration was also a popular talking point.

Springfield Residents “Displaced” As Landlords Triple Rent Prices To Accommodate Haitian Migrants

A resident of Springfield, OH, has told a city commission meeting that locals are being displaced from their homes to make way for Haitian migrants.

The man, who has not been named, said the federal government was paying “triple the rent” for Haitians arriving in the town, thus incentivizing landlords to prioritize immigrants over existing residents.

Addressing the city commission, the resident – who said he’d worked with the homeless community for more than 25 years – said he didn’t know of “a single homeless Haitian in this town because they all got vouchers” from the federal government.

“I personally know, and I’ll testify under oath [with] my hand to God, somebody that their house – they were there seven years,” he told the meeting. “Somebody that lost their house, they were there seven years. The landlord said, ‘Hey, I need you to move out. Find a temporary place. I’m gonna remodel it and then you can come back.’”

“They moved him out [and] tripled the rent,” he added before being cut off by the commission.

Watch:

Many on social media felt sympathy for those who had been displaced.

Blame was also laid on landlords and the federal government.

Video Shows Moment Sylacauga City Council Meeting Ends In Chaos As Furious Residents Demand Answers To Influx Of Haitian Migrants

A city council meeting ended in chaos after members of the public demanded answers to a recent influx of Haitian migrants.

Residents of Sylacauga, AL, have reportedly witnessed more than 50 migrants being bussed into the city in recent weeks. However, efforts to get to the bottom of the issue have been difficult with the governor’s office claiming it has not received any information from the federal government.

On Thursday, September 5, concerned residents asked questions of the five councilmembers on Sylacauga City Council. Initial concerns were brushed aside by council president Tiffany Nix who said, “I’m going to welcome anybody to Sylacauga that wants to come to Sylacauga.”

A second resident, David Phillips, then approached the podium and called the attitude of the council “entirely unacceptable”.

“Do we know where the individuals we’re discussing are coming from?” he asked. “Where’s their point of origin? Because you’re treating them like lawful U.S. citizens, which they are not.”

“OK, so I’m going to cut it off,” Nix responded. “Because we’ve had three people come up. I’m going to cut it off because we have no reason to launch an investigation or to treat people differently because of how they look. There is no reason for it.”

As the meeting was adjourned, furious residents lambasted the council, many of whom yelled, “This is our city!” after they were denied the right to speak.

Many on social media were critical of the council’s response to public concerns.

There was also an influx of memes in response to the meeting.

Key Moments Of Donald Trump’s Interview With Dr. Phil Summarized

Former president Donald Trump sat down with renowned TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw for another interview on Monday that aired on his Merit Street Network.

The interview (which he can viewed in full below) went on for an hour, and was Trump’s second interview with Dr. Phil this year, the prior being before he was shot.

The two began the interview by discussing the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, PA. Trump once again praised divine intervention with regards to the last-minute head turn which saved his life.

Shortly after the assassination attempt, Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party’s de facto presidential nominee. Trump noted how attitudes had shifted towards what was once America’s least popular Vice President.

“She was known as a terrible vice president, laughed at, scoffed at. They wanted [Biden out], but they didn’t want her. They would have done anything to get anybody on the list. You know, they had a list of ten people, and they put her on the list, and she came in 11th,” Trump said.

The Republican also noted the increased pressure on President Joe Biden to step aside, and gave some behind-the-scenes details of him being forced out.

Attention then turned to the Democratic National Convention. Speakers, many of whom were unable to highlight existing problems within the country since Harris is a central part of the current administration, and instead just bashed Trump wherever possible.

Trump concluded the interview by praising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who in the past week suspended his campaign and endorsed the former president. Trump described the ex-Democrat as a “great asset” and “a fantastic and influential person in terms of getting this country back on track.”

Disney Axes Woke Series “The Acolyte,” Upsets Extremist Woke Fans

Disney’s latest Star Wars venture, “The Acolyte,” has been abruptly canceled after just one season.

Controversial ‘Woke’ Series Axed

Disney+ pulled the plug on “The Acolyte,” a Star Wars series overseen by director Leslye Headland, following its single, contentious season. The decision blindsided viewers, especially following actor Manny Jacinto’s enthusiastic promotion at the recent D23 Expo. Lucasfilm ultimately decided against continuing the show, leaving its fanbase with a season-finale cliffhanger and no resolution in sight.

This unpredictable termination has stirred debate about the impact of ‘wokeness’ on modern entertainment.

Despite its promotional hype, “The Acolyte” struggled to establish a strong foothold among audiences, leading to this drastic decision from Disney and Lucasfilm.

Divisive Reception and Unresolved Storylines

The show’s debut season faced relentless rumors and encountered a profoundly divided reception. Despite a potent season finale, Disney and Lucasfilm opted not to greenlight a second season. Considering the limited array of upcoming live-action Star Wars series, this cancellation came as a genuine surprise to Woke fans.

Critically, “The Acolyte” earned a 78% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience score plummeted to a dismal 18%. Criticisms ranged from sluggish pacing to subpar tension, leading many to question if the high production costs were ever justified.

“The Acolyte is no more. The Star Wars series will not return for a second season, EW has learned,” EW reported. 

The series had a strong launch, amassing 4.8 million views on its first day and 11.1 million views globally within five days. It even appeared on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart, debuting at No. 7 in its first week and climbing to No. 6 subsequently. Yet, by Week 3, it fell out of the Top 10, only climbing back to No. 10 after the finale aired, which, with 335 million minutes viewed, became the lowest-rated Star Wars series finale.

Corporate Silence and Future Prospects

Disney and Lucasfilm have not provided an official reason for canceling “The Acolyte.” The divisions among fans, due to its female-centric plot and diverse casting, certainly played a role. This echoes previous controversies within the Star Wars community, notably after the release of “The Last Jedi.”

With Disney shifting its focus back to cinema, there are already four new Star Wars movies in development. Furthermore, upcoming television content includes “Skeleton Crew,” “Andor” season 2, and “Ahsoka” season 2. Although this pattern of limited series and abrupt cancellations mirrors the MCU’s trajectory on Disney+, the direction remains uncertain.

The Road Ahead for Star Wars

This decision adds fuel to the fire of an already contentious Star Wars fanbase. Leslye Headland had pitched ideas for a second season and expressed her aspirations for renewal. However, in the current climate, it appears Disney and Lucasfilm are moving towards projects with broader appeal, shying away from controversial ‘woke’ storylines that divide the audience.

“‘The Acolyte’ had a bumpy journey through marketing and release on the small screen, to say the least,” Fran Ruiz said for Space.com.  

As Disney pivots back to cinema, the future of Star Wars on Disney+ remains precarious. With both divisive content and high production costs, the shift towards fewer, more impactful series could see a more strategic and profitable model for the franchise moving forward.

Kamala Harris Doesn’t Bother Editing Her Speeches In “This State”

In a bid to demonstrate that she doesn’t just rely on a script, Kamala Harris has been repeating speeches at different rallies in different swing states.

Two separate rallies – both held on the same day in Wisconsin and Michigan – featured identical lines and mannerisms as she spoke to the paying audience.

Stood behind the Vice Presidential podium as if to remind people that she is partly responsible for the state of the country today, Harris delivered her speeches largely focused on beating Donald Trump and the importance of “this state.”

Among other parts of the speech that were identical, she notably told both states that they’re going to be the one to decide the election; “I am clear, the path to the White House runs right through this state,” she said (twice) on Wednesday.

Harris also repeated phrases such as “I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” as well as references to her summer job in McDonalds. Furthermore, the clip contains a bizarre side-by-side segment of Harris saying, “and when we fight, we win” with identical lack of enthusiasm at both rallies.

Many on social media had their own theories as to the reasoning for Harris’ repetitive rallies.

What’s your view as to why Vice President Harris is so repetitive? Let us know in the comments below.

J.D Vance Checks Out Air Force Two As Harris Holds Rival Campaign Event In Swing State

Much like its predecessors, the 2024 presidential election will be decided by swing states.

If either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris want to take the White House in November, they need to win a majority of six crucial states which will likely decide the election; namely Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, as well as Wisconsin where both the Republican’s running mate and the Vice President both campaigned on Wednesday, August 7.

The Badger State has typically voted blue throughout modern history; however, its rare switch to the GOP paved the way for Trump in his 2016 electoral win.

Coincidentally, both Harris and Trump’s VP pick J.D. Vance were in Eau Clare on the same day, forcing both to share the tarmac. As reporters gathered outside Air Force Two, Vance jokingly told reporters he was “check[ing] out his future plane” on Wednesday as he walked to the Vice President’s plane.

“I also thought you guys might get lonely because the vice president doesn’t answer questions from reporters, and hasn’t in seventeen days, Vance said. “Have you guys been given an explanation for why she won’t take questions from reporters?” he asked. Much like Harris when facing any actual questioning, the reporters didn’t have a response.

“I hope that she changes her mind, as it would be good for the American people and I think it’d be good for you all if she actually ran a real campaign instead of one from a basement with the teleprompter,” Vance added.

Many on social media had praised for the Ohio Sen., who has previously (correctly) accused Harris of hiding from reporters.

Others noted a familiar face among the Secret Service detail behind Vance.

Nobody Likes Working for Kamala Harris

Minimum wage jobs have lower rates of turnover than Kamala Harris’ office, according to a new report.

According to Fox News: “OpenTheBooks.com, which describes itself as a ‘government watchdog organization,’ reported last week that Harris is experiencing a 91.5% staff turnover rate within the Office of the Vice President. The organization, citing payroll records, says as of March 31, 2024, only four of the initial 47 staffers employed during Harris’ first year as vice president in 2021 are still working for her without interruption.”

Those four who stayed were low ranking employees, meaning all high ranking employees jumped ship.

By comparison, since 2021, 127 of Biden’s initial 560 White House staff remain employed today.

During his administration, Donald Trump’s turnover was reported sensationally in the liberal media to paint a picture of a White House in disarray, leading many to snarkily compare to the situation to something out of The Apprentice, given’s Trump’s signature “You’re Fired” line from the show.

Yet by the same logic, the Biden/Harris team is in greater disarray – because Harris’ staff turnover rate of nearly 92% far surpasses President Biden’s rate of 77% and former President Trump’s rate of 72% during the first to fourth years of their terms.

Overwhelmingly Pro-Biden District Rallies Against Migrant Crime

Residents in Clinton Hill, NY, rallied after a surge in violence in the district linked to migrant crime.

The rally took place close to a major migrant center in Brooklyn, with one protester saying the area “was not available to the community anymore” since the trouble started:

“We have been witnessing the escalation in violence for months now,” one resident said.

“We’ve been pleading with the mayor as we’ve seen increased violence that this was going to be inevitable,” another said.

With President Joe Biden coming under heavy fire for his open door border policy, many wondered who the residents of Clinton Hill voted for in the last election.

It wasn’t long before the answer was discovered…. and it’s above 90%. For comparison, Trump got a greater share of the vote in San Francisco.

The district – perhaps unsurprising given its name – is one of the strongest Democrat-leaning areas of the country, and sympathy was suspended among users on social media, who recognized that these people are complaining about the results of their own actions.

One can reasonably imagine that every single one of them was against Trump’s wall and other border policies.

However, another user warned that the recent unrest was unlikely to result in a switch to the right.

After all, liberals have been voting for their own destruction for a century and don’t seem to have put 2 and 2 together.
