(DCNF)—A Daily Caller News Foundation reporter said Thursday that viral cat memes involving former President Donald Trump were forcing the media to cover the border crisis and Vice President Kamala Harris’ role in it.
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California had a meltdown Wednesday over a post by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee featuring an AI-created image of Trump embracing a kitten and a duck following reports of Haitian migrants killing waterfowl and pets in Springfield, Ohio. DCNF media reporter Nicole Silverio said that the posts, amplified by Trump during the debate, brought attention to the effects of the Biden administration’s border policies.
LISTEN:
“[Jordan] posted an AI photo of Trump embracing a duck and a kitten,” Silverio told WFEA host Jeff Chidester. “And that, of course, for those who don’t know, is in reference to these unconfirmed reports of migrants, of Haitian migrants in particular, killing and eating cats and ducks in Springfield, Ohio.”
Silverio noted that officials had not confirmed any incidents, but that the cat memes amplified other reports about the effects of the influx of as many as 20,000 Haitian migrants to Springfield, including the death of 11-year-old Aiden Clark in an August 2023 school bus accident.
“I think that the bigger picture here would be memes on the internet… they’re pretty hilarious if anyone wants to check those out, the bigger picture is just to bring attention to the Biden administration’s continued failure to handle this border crisis,” Silverio told Chidester. “I mean, we’ve known for the past four years that the migrant crisis has been a serious issue in this country that has not been handled. And so, I think that is the bigger picture of these memes.”

Silverio noted that the viral video of a woman who was arrested for killing and eating a cat and a second video of a resident complaining about ducks being beheaded and eaten were signs there could be incidents not being reported in Springfield.
“These memes and reports are making the media pay attention to this issue,” Silverio said, adding that Trump polls better than Harris on the issue of immigration.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
