Donald Trump has yet another legal issue to deal with. A Haitian nonprofit organization has filed a lawsuit against him for his false pet eating claims.
As reported by News 5 Cleveland, the Haitian Bridge Alliance has a submitted a claim against the former President and his running mate JD Vance. Their executive director Guerline Jozef expressed their reasoning in a formal statement. “Over the last two weeks, both Trump and Vance led an effort to vilify and threaten the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio,” Jozef wrote. “Together, they spread and amplified the debunked claim that Haitians immigrants in Springfield are eating cats, dogs, and wildlife.”
The organization’s attorney Subodh Chandra detailed how Trump and Vance’s claims have forever negatively impacted the Haitian community in Springfield. “If anyone else had disrupted public service, made false alarms, and engaged in telecommunications harassment in the manner Trump and Vance did with their relentless and persistent lies—even after the governor and mayor said what they were saying was false, they would’ve been arrested by now,” he said in a written statement. “They must be held accountable to the rule of law in the same way any of the rest of us would be.”
During the recent presidential debate Donald Trump made some baseless claims that immigrants were stealing pets and cooking them. “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” Trump when asked a question about immigration. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.” JD Vance also promoted the false narrative and would later admit that on CNN that he is not above spreading falsehoods in order to sell in his agenda.
Neither politician has yet to formally respond to the matter. According to the Haitian Bridge Alliance’s website they advocate “for fair and humane immigration policies and provides migrants and immigrants with humanitarian, legal, and social services.” You can read more about their organization here.

Republicans have been screaming for Democrats to “lower the temperature” after two “assassination” attempts on former disgraced president Donald Trump. Still, someone must tell them to keep the same energy for their followers.
Spotted on Raw Story via the New York Post, windows at an Arizona campaign office for our current Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris were shot out.
According to the website, no one was at the office when the alleged incident occurred.
Per Raw Story:
“Damage from gunfire, fired sometime after midnight on Monday, was discovered at the Democratic National Committee campaign office near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive in Tempe,” reported Patrick Reilly, noting that staffers discovered the windows shot out when they arrived at work on Tuesday.
According to Sgt. Ryan Cook of the Tempe Police, “No one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby.”
The report also notes, “Detectives are currently analyzing evidence collected at the scene, and additional measures have been taken to beef up security for staff and others in the area.”
The Political Violence Is Out of Control
As we barrel towards election day, things have been quite testy on the campaign trail for both candidates. The first attempt on Donald Trump’s life left several people injured at his rally and the orange menace with a bloody ear.
The most recent attempt that saw a man trying to shoot Trump while he was on his Mar-A-Lago golf course was thwarted by Secret Service agents, preventing the bootleg assassin from getting a shot off.
Secret Service has been under fire since the two attempts on Trump’s life, and now we are sure they are ratcheting up the protection for both VP Harris and Donald Trump.

Republican nominee Donald Trump went after Haitian migrants again at a campaign rally with more outright lies.
False claims about Haitian migrants in the town of Springfield, Ohio have been advanced by former President Donald Trump once again, this time with more sinister overtones. The Republican presidential nominee held a campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday (September 24) at the Johnny Mercer Theatre. In what’s been increasingly a feature at these rallies, Trump talked about the crowd size being 5,000 to 6,000 people – in truth, it was 2,500 in attendance. He also spoke about the migrants again in a disparaging rant.
“With left-wing nonprofits to inundate Pennsylvania communities, changing the character of small towns and villages all over our country, and changing them forever,” Trump said. “They will never be the same. They will never be. Do you think Springfield will ever be the same? I don’t think so. The fact is — and I’ll say it now — you have to get them the hell out. You have to get them out. I’m sorry,” he continued, adding: “You have to get them out. Can’t have it. Can’t have it. They’ve destroyed it. It’s terrible.” The audience cheered during the speech, which also saw Trump talking about his administration bringing a “manufacturing renaissance” and bringing back millions of jobs to the U.S. “Did you ever hear that expression before? Have you ever heard that we’re going to take other countries’ jobs? It’s never been stated before,” he said.
Trump has leaned heavily on the false claims about Haitians who’ve settled in Springfield, Ohio, expressing it in his debate against Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris – a claim first advanced by his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance. These claims of Haitians eating the dogs and cats of fellow town members sparked a wave of outrage since the disastrous debate, with many Haitian-Americans holding protest rallies across the country. It has also led to the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA) advocacy group filing a criminal complaint against Trump and Vance, alleging that their amplifying the false claims led to heightened danger against the Haitian community in Springfield resulting in at least 33 bomb threats being called in against schools and other city structures. “Trump and Vance’s lies have harmed the Springfield community, and their lies have violated criminal law,” said the statement filed with the complaint. The Trump campaign team has not commented to the press.

Donald Trump’s claims that the COVID-19 pandemic began with “dust” blown over to the country “from China” has left many on social media again questioning his intelligence.
Former President Donald Trump is receiving new blowback due to his comments concerning the rise of COVID-19 in the United States. He sat down for a one-on-one interview with Sheryl Attkisson of the “Full Measure” show on Sunday (September 22) at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The conversation turned to the pandemic, and Attkisson asked Trump how he felt he handled the situation. “In terms of overall, I think I did an amazing job with COVID,” Trump insisted. “I never got the credit for it. Remember that more people died under Biden-Harris than died under Trump.”
“I never got great credit on the fighting of the China virus, which is COVID, but we call it the China virus because we like to be accurate,” the former president continued. “But if you think of what I’ve done, I took a disaster that came into our shores, that dust flew in from China, and we started making things like the ventilators.” He added that he would “not be given credit” for the “fantastic job” done, remarking to the Heritage Foundation-sponsored host, “Nobody knew what it was. Nobody knew where it came from.” The claim was part of an almost 20-minute interview, where he also declared that if he loses in the November presidential election, he won’t run again in 2028.
The interview is not the first time that Trump has uttered the false claim. He made it as part of a rambling sentence, saying We had that damn dust coming in from China, the China virus…” during his campaign rally held in Wildwood, New Jersey back in May. But his insistence on repeating it brought him ridicule from those who got wind of the statement, with many bemoaning his lack of intelligence.

Hayley Williams didn’t hold back her feelings about Donald Trump at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
On Friday (Sept. 20), the Paramore singer took a moment during the rock band’s performance of “Big Man, Little Integrity” as Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena to make it crystal clear how she feels about the Republican presidential nominee, who is running against Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
“Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community,” Williams said while looking into a camera that was livestreaming the event on Hulu. “It is time for all Americans to band together and finally defeat the Trump agenda. And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls. Do you want to live in the dictatorship? Well, show up and vote.”

This isn’t the first time Williams has spoken out against Republican politicians over anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Last year, the “Ain’t It Fun” singer lashed out against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during a performance at the Adjacent Music Festival in Atlantic City, N.J.
Trending on Billboard
“If you vote for Ron DeSantis, you’re f—ing dead to me. Is that comfortable enough for anyone?” she told the crowd.
Earlier this year, Paramore also declined a Tennessee resolution honoring the group for its Grammy win after the state’s lawmakers blocked a similar resolution honoring Allison Russell.
“This week, Rep. Justin Jones put forth resolutions to honor my band, Paramore and another local-to-Nashville artist, Allison Russell, on our recent Grammy wins (as far as I can tell these resolutions have no legal weight to them. They’re like a big high five or when the whole restaurant joins in to sing you “Happy Birthday”),” Williams told The Tennesseean. “House Republicans only let the measure that acknowledged Paramore’s win pass. They blocked Allison’s.”
The Paramore singer added, “The blatant racism of our state leadership is embarrassing and cruel. Myself, as well as Paramore, will continue to encourage young people to show up to vote with equality in mind.”

Mark Robinson, a Trump acolyte and candidate running for Governor of North Carolina, is having a bad day. A CNN investigation found that the conservative Republican nominee made dozens of egregious comments on the message boards of the “Nude Africa” pornography website over 10 years ago—including referring to himself as a “black NAZI.”
Of course, Robinson is saying that he is a victim of artificial intelligence and that this is a digital lynching. Also, he needs more people, respectfully.
As for the CNN KFile investigation that had the GOP scrambling to maybe find another candidate and Robinson dropping a message to say don’t believe what we’re about to hear, the receipts are salacious.
Reports CNN:
Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”
The comments, which Robinson denies making, predate his entry into politics and current stint as North Carolina’s lieutenant governor. They were made under a username that CNN was able to identify as Robinson by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.
Many of Robinson’s comments were gratuitously sexual and lewd in nature. They were made between 2008 and 2012 on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic website that includes a message board. The comments were made under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.
CNN didn’t post all the comments since they were so salacious, but they did share a graphic that points to the comments coming from Robinson

Among his commentary was his relaying an affinity to transgender porn. This stands in contract to his anti-LBTQ rhetoric that he is known for remains steadfast in broadcasting. “I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson wrote, per CNN. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”
Despite the evidence that it was indeed him typing the words, Robinson is in full denial. “This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson told CNN, after being presented with the evidence. He added, “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”
Robinson is currently the lieutenant governor of North Carolina, and a Trump homie. He is also getting absolutely cooked on social media. Peep the best of the slander in the gallery. A bunch of GOP legislators are sprinting to delete their photos with Robinson, but we got those saved, too.

Clearly Donald Trump isn’t tapped into Reggaeton culture. During a rally he referred to Nicky Jam as a “hot” woman.
As spotted on Raw Story, the presidential nominee is trying his best to gather support from the Latino community. On Friday, Sept. 13, he hosted a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the World Market Center. The politician announced that the “Baby” singer would be endorsing him but made it clear he had no idea who he was. “Do you know Nicky?” he asked rhetorically. “She’s hot,” he added asking “Where’s Nicky?” as he looked for the star to join him at the podium. Upon walking up Donald Trump realized he is not a she and said, “Oh, look, I’m glad he came up.”
The moment was super awkward, but Nicky Jam still tried to make the best out of the situation. “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky,” he said. “We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.” As expected the clip soon went viral, and Nicky Jam was faced with incessant ridicule online. “Trump thought you were a girl! He didn’t even take the time to look you up, and you’re here kissing his toes,” one user wrote.
He tried to make fun of the moment with an Instagram post where he referred to himself as a “hot” woman and several laughing emojis in the caption. It seems the joke was no longer funny to him as Nicky has since deleted this post and his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. You can view the rally footage below.

You can always count on Donald Trump and his family to find a new way to scam.
Fresh off the latest alleged “assassination attempt” on his life, which he wasted no time fundraising on, the disgraced former president hit an X Space for a 40-minute interview where he rehashed his greatest hits on the latest attempt on his life, the border, the evil forces conspiring against him and his granddaughter’s ability to speak foreign languages.
He touched on all of that in an X Space where he was supposed to speak about his latest scam; oops, we mean business venture, a new “crypto platform.”
When he finally got to the point, he touched on World Liberty Financial, which, according to a statement shared on his X account per The Verge’s reporting, “Trump’s new decentralized finance project is to drive “the mass adoption of stablecoins and decentralized finance.”
Even The People Involved Can’t Explain This Mess
According to the website, Trump or any of the other people involved in the Space on X on Monday night did a sh*tty job of explaining what World Liberty Financial is.
Helping to try to explain what the hell the platform is, Corey Caplan, founder of some sh*t called Dolomite, another “decentralized lending platform,” is also working as an adviser on Trump’s latest attempt to scam people out of money and fatten his wallet.
In his explanation, Caplan said World Liberty Financial would “sell and otherwise distribute governance tokens called WLFI.” He notes that sales of the token will be limited to “certain persons who would be eligible to participate in transactions that are exempt from registration under US federal securities law.”
What made the whole thing even funnier was Barron Trump, the family’s expert on Crypto, not being present when it was his turn to speak.
Per The Daily Beast:
Trump’s youngest son Barron, 18, was nowhere to be found when it came time for him to speak, some two hours into the meandering promotional for World Liberty Financial, which even Trump’s crypto sector allies reportedly think is a stupid idea.
“He’s not here anymore,” said Farokh Sarmad, the crypto entrepreneur who hosted the livestream on X. “We took too long. We’re gonna try and get him back.” It would have marked Barron’s first major speaking role in public.
“Damned teenagers,” joked Trump’s eldest child, 46-year-old Donald Jr., who sat in on the livestream along with his 40-year-old brother, Eric.
The gallery below shows more reactions to Donald Trump and his son’s latest scam.

Taylor Swift officially has broken Donald Trump.
The Orange Menace, Donald Trump, is not handling the fact that Taylor Swift and her Swifties endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to succeed President Joe Biden very well.
Trump wrote on his bootleg social media platform, Truth Social, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on Sunday morning, leaving many baffled but not shocked at his unhinged all-caps post.
The former disgraced President’s bizarre post garnered numerous responses, like this one from big-time Trump hater Liz Cheney, who wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Says the smallest man who ever lived.” For those who follow Swift’s music, that was a clever callback to Swift’s latest project, The Tortured Poets Department.
The View co-host, former Republican and proud Donald Trump critic Ana Navarro wrote on X, “Donald Trump has lost what little sanity he had left. Taylor Swift broke him.”
Trump’s swift meltdown came after the pop star announced she was Team Harris/Walz immediately following the VP’s dragging of the convicted felon during last week’s presidential debate.
She shared the post on her Instagram Stories along with a link to Vote.org, which led to “more than 400,000 visitors to the voter-information site in a 24-hour period,” Variety reports.
Taylor Swift Lives Rent-Free In Donald Trump’s Small Mind
Before declaring his hate for Swift on Truth Social, Trump declared his love for Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, who wasn’t shy about revealing her love for Orange Mussolini by liking Trump-related posts during a Fox & Friends interview.
“Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better. If you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” Trump said.
Users on X clowned Brittany Mahomes for getting love from Trump after her “bestie” endorsed Kamala Harris.
Patrick Mahomes didn’t help beat any allegations that he is in the Trump boat by refusing to endorse any candidate. Instead, he dropped some lame reasoning for not having a political backbone.
In a recent turn of events, Brittany Mahomes is now questioning her support for Trump after his Truth social comments, which, according to The Daily Mail, left her “shaken to the core.”
Social media also clowned Trump for letting the world know that Taylor Swift lives rent-free in his mind.
You can see those reactions in the gallery below.
