Looking forward to hearing more! I've seen some footage on X from the town hall meeting. To have your population increase by 1/3 over 3 years, would be difficult for any community. The Biden/Harris administration has not answered WHY they chose so many to be flown into that particular city. The Mayor should be asking. Put political party aside! Sabrinalabow.substack.com

Given that the fiscal strain of immigrants and the flooding of small towns with immigrants is old news, perhaps the sensationalized story about pets serves a purpose.

It is, after all, what everyone is talking about. Which means they are talking about immigration. Which means they are talking about these issues and it’s what is salient about the election.

I’ve seen trump do this many times. Say something he knows liberals will get outraged over to make them focus on losing issues. We are talking about immigration rather than abortion after the debate.

I don’t understand why they need to poach animals for food if they are getting food cards .. I would understand better if they had no help from the government..🤷‍♀️

Thank you for your work, Eduardo.

1) I am curious. Was it difficult for you and other journalists/reporters to find lodging in Springfield? Were you "price gouged" (you know, supply and demand normalities)?

2) I don't think the majority of the pet dissappearances and wild fowl hunting is for sacrificial/religious purpose, but rather cultural food supply, which you did not mention.

I thought so...over $200/night at a modest Marriott in a town like that seemed ridiculous to me.

On your second point, maybe so. But I just couldn't nail that aspect of the story down. Most reporters couldn't either.

Thank you for the reply! I'm looking forward to more of your investigations and journalism.

In Georgia along the Chattahoochee river hundreds of beheaded goats were found last year.

Just look it up. Even Google isn’t hiding it yet.

Oh, I *so* want to leave this alone, but I just can't. Sigh.

Are you a Capitalist, Mr. Narayan?
