How Trump  feels about Haitian immigrants now

Scott McLarty -  Trump at the Sept. 10 debate: "I have nothing to do with Project 2025." ....Trump in 2022 on the Heritage Foundation, source of Project 2025: "This is a great group, and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America. And that’s what’s coming." (Speech at Heritage's Annual Leadership Conference)

 

SteveRattner - Violent crime has declined by 26% since Trump’s last year in office — quite the opposite of “through the roof”

 

NBC News - The judge overseeing the election interference case against Donald Trump and several co-defendants in Georgia has thrown out three counts in the indictment — including two counts brought against the former president.The original 41-count indictment accused Trump and several of his allies of a broad scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, but the case has been stalled for months as an effort to disqualify the top prosecutor remains on appeal.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee upheld a challenge to the sweeping racketeering charge Thursday but wrote in his decision that certain counts involving allegations of filing false documents should no longer go forward because they belong in federal, not state, court. “Because Counts 14, 15, and 27 lie beyond this State’s jurisdiction and must be quashed, the Defendants’ motions to dismiss the indictment under the Supremacy Clause are granted in part,” McAfee wrote. 

Daily Beast - The social media user who posted what appears to be one of the first claims of Haitian migrants kidnapping and eating family pets in Springfield, Ohio was simply repeating a story she had heard from a neighbor—who’d heard it themselves from a friend, who’d heard it from someone else, according to a new report. Reporters from NewsGuard, a company that works to counter online misinformation, tracked down the poster, a Springfield woman named Erika Lee, 35, who admitted to being the source of the Facebook rumor that traveled from her keyboard to Donald Trump, who repeated the claims at Tuesday night’s presidential debate, in just a matter of days. But Lee said she had not actually witnessed the story—concerning a cat found hung from a tree for butchering.

Instead, she said a neighbor named Kimberly Newton told her about it. When contacted by NewsGuard, Newton said, “I’m not sure I’m the most credible source because I don’t actually know the person who lost the cat,” adding that the cat’s owner was the “acquaintance of a friend.” Newton added: “I don’t have any proof.”
