Haitians Eating Cats
Nowhere is the “Haitian Immigrant Eating Cats” debate more front and center than Sylacauga Alabama thanks to 1819 News and similar news outlets who tow the party line on whatever narrative their party demands. Yes not since a preacher being gay… or dressing in women’s clothes ….or whatever….. has this storied news outlet covered a situation so completely and in an irresponsible and shallow manner. There are immigrants in Alabama and they are a strain on services.

Mr. French revealed to the attendees that Mayor Robert Bob Wills lied when he said that he spoke for the family and further stated that they were “ok with the outcome” of the investigation and that this would no longer be at topic of conversation at the request of the family, which is apparently untrue.

He has denied the allegations but the Ripp Report is awash with anonymous sources who seem to know a lot about the details of this and other instances of cover given to people in the “Sheriff’s Circle of Protection”.
What the

The Mugshot
Former President Donald Trump was defiant in his first interview after being booked into an Atlanta Jail this week under a RICO prosecution scheme that has almost 20 co-conspirators, complete with what will become an iconic mugshot. There was a Republican Presidential Debate and taking the lead from the Mee-Maw and Coach Tubbs playbook, Trump did not participate. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has let off a salvo of allegations at the Biden Administration regarding the announcement that Space Command will not be located in Huntsville Alabama but instead to Colorado.
