Crime in America is up. The following was taken from @amuse, and we added links. It’s a very good and thorough report. During the Tuesday night debate about crime going down, Kamala Harris lied by omission. We only have to look around to know that is true. In New York City, they often don’t bother […] The post Kamala Harris Lied About Crime Data appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO—Residents gathered this week at a city commission meeting to speak out against the massive surge of Haitian migrants, which they say has harmed public safety and taken jobs away from American citizens. The meeting came after as many as 20,000 Haitian migrants were resettled in the midwestern town of about 60,000, propelling Springfield into the center of America’s debate about immigration. “I am a disabled, elderly woman, who has such high anxiety leaving my house that I rarely do. And when I do I’m armed and I have my 120-pound pitbull with me. I’ve been followed, I’ve been groped,” one Springfield community member said at the city commission meeting. “The influx has come in so fast and they haven’t been educated on our ways, on our laws, they need to know these things.” A disabled, elderly woman in Springfield, Ohio explains how the influx of Haitian migrants has put women like her in danger: “I’ve been followed. I’ve been groped.” I’m on the ground for @realDailyWire. pic.twitter.com/9RwEajplOs — Spencer Lindquist ?? (@SpencerLndqst) September 11, 2024 It isn’t violent crime, however, that worries many Springfield residents. Many say that the Haitian migrants often do not obey traffic laws or are unable to safely drive altogether. Last August, a Haitian migrant ran into a school bus, killing 11-year-old Aiden Clark and injuring many other children. The road safety concerns led to an effort to ramp up law enforcement, but one resident, Mary Adkins, called it “a Band Aid on a hemorrhaging artery.” “They’re trying to do a surge with the sheriff, police, state highway patrol, for the accidents on that but you know, our insurance rates are going through the roof because they’re saying Springfield is a high risk area,” another resident explained. Springfield community members also told The Daily Wire that companies are hiring Haitian workers, often at the expense of American citizens who have found themselves out of a job in a town where cost-of-living is top of mind. “I have a grandson who worked for Dole. He was out there a week,” Springfield community member Jack Oliver told The Daily Wire. “He was hired, went to work one day, suited up and everything else. A guy comes out and he says we don’t need you anymore, Haitians took over the job.” Another resident claimed that Amazon is laying off American workers and replacing them with Haitian migrant workers at a nearby fulfillment center just outside of town. “They’ve recently started laying off all the Americans and bringing in Haitian help that’s cheap, like two or three hundred,” Terry Adkins told The Daily Wire as the commission meeting came to a close.  Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tasked with stemming the flow of migrants to our southern border, boasted that the Biden-Harris administration extended temporary protected status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants, saying that they “need support” and “protection.” ADD MORE CONTEXT TO THIS

President Joe Biden got caught donning a Trump hat during a Wednesday visit with Pennsylvania firefighters, and video of the moment it happened quickly went viral. People scrambled for an explanation — Was he tricked? Was it an endorsement? — but then a longer video of the exchange made the rounds. WATCH: This is by far the greatest moment of Joe Biden's 51-year career. Not even close. pic.twitter.com/wsfe6WpG5T — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) September 12, 2024 Biden was visiting with firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, for the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks at the time, and there was a discussion with one man regarding whether or not Biden would sign a hat. The president obliged, signing a navy blue cap with what appeared to be the presidential seal on it, but as he handed it over, he told the man, “I need that hat.” The man offered Biden his hat — a red baseball cap with an American flag on the bill and “Trump” in bold lettering — and asked, “Do you want my autograph?” ”Hell no,” Biden replied, prompting laughs. “I ain’t going that far.” Biden put the Trump cap on over the hat he was already wearing, and the firefighters cheered.

The White House responded to the viral video with a statement from spokesman Andrew Bates, who said that Biden had taken the hat as a gesture to the unity that Americans had felt in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. “At the Shanksville Fire Station, @POTUS spoke about the country’s bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that,” Bates wrote. “As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit POTUS should put on his Trump cap. He briefly wore it.” At the Shanksville Fire Station, @POTUS spoke about the country's bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that.

A White House official was asked about a group of veterans who were critical of the Biden administration’s mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and said there was no point in responding to a “handful of vets.” White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby accidentally hit reply all to a Fox News inquiry when he apparently meant to reply to White House staffers. In his response, Kirby diminished the concerns of veterans on the anniversary of 9/11. “Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” Kirby said in his response. Fox News said it had reached out to the White House on Wednesday afternoon with comments from four veterans, including Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), who were unhappy with Kirby’s press conference on Monday. Fox included quotes from four veterans who said Kirby was “deflecting” from the Biden administration’s bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. “The bottom line is that the Biden-Harris administration chose politics over strategy, and Kirby, who I wouldn’t trust to guard my grocery list, is now trying to cover for them,” Mills said in one of the quotes. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. The situation began when the House Foreign Affairs Committee, chaired by Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX), released a report that disputed the Biden administration’s long-held claim that the withdrawal was former President Donald Trump’s fault and that President Joe Biden was bound by an agreement Trump made with Afghanistan. Trump’s agreement established a deadline in 2021 but included conditions for withdrawal. The report from McCaul found that State Department officials had no plan to help Americans and Afghan allies get out of the country while American troops were still there to protect them, Fox News reported. The report also determined that the Biden administration didn’t adequately respond to terror threats ahead of the withdrawal, leading to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and more than 150 Afghan civilians. The botched withdrawal also left the Taliban with upwards of $7 billion in abandoned U.S. weapons and equipment and $57 million that had been given to the Afghan government before the Taliban took over. In April 2021, Biden announced that he would fully withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan before September 11, which precluded him from determining if conditions on the ground warranted the withdrawal. After McCaul had released his report, Kirby attended a White House briefing to dismiss its findings and defend Biden by blaming Trump for the disaster that had happened under Biden’s watch. “President Biden, for his part, faced a stark choice when he came to office: Abide by the flawed agreement and end America’s longest war, or blow up the deal, extend the war, and see a much smaller contingent of American troops back in combat with the Taliban,” Kirby said at the press briefing. “He chose the former and was able to buy additional time to prepare for that withdrawal all the way into summer, and we, as a nation, are safer for it.”
