๐ŸšจStatement Release from Austin Firefighters Association. ARE YOU ANGRY YET? ๐Ÿšจ

It brings the Austin Firefighters no pleasure to report to the community that the Austin Fire Chief DENIED the deployment of Austin firefighters to Kerrville until very late into the event (so today!), with the exception of only 3 AFD rescue swimmers who helped staff helo teams (which still were NOT deployed until the afternoon of the 4th).

The Austin Firefighter Special Operations teams are specially trained for Hill Country swift water rescue and are some of the best, if not the best, swift water boat teams in the State of Texas.

It is absolutely outrageous that the Austin Fire Chief, Joel G. Baker, would not allow highly trained firefighters from Austin to respond to Kerrville. Because of this egregious dereliction of duty, LIVES WERE VERY LIKELY LOST BECAUSE OF CHIEF BAKERโ€™S DECISION!

Deployment orders came down from the State of Texas on July 2. We would've been pre-deployed before the waters even began to rise!

It is unforgivable that a fire chief would NOT allow his firefighters to answer the call to save lives.
Why would Fire Chief Joel G. Baker do this, you may ask? It was a misguided attempt to save money. I say โ€œmisguidedโ€ because the fire department is fully reimbursed by the state to deploy. I explained the reimbursement process to Chief Baker last week, and he failed to understand this very simple concept.

We are disgusted with our fire chief. He needs to be held accountable and fired for his disgraceful dereliction of duty.
The Austin Firefighters are starting a vote of no confidence on Tuesday on the fire chief.

As disgusted as we are at our Austin Fire Department leadership, the Austin Firefighters Association made a decision to not air our dirty laundry while victims and bodies were still being recovered. But it's now July 7, and it's time that we hold accountable our disgraced fire chief, AND anybody else in his leadership circle who are responsible for this horrendous act.

The Austin Firefighters commit to being transparent to the community about this process to remove our fire chief and hold all of those accountable who were part of this atrocity.

The firefighters hope we have your support, because it's going to get ugly.

I can't possibly express to you how outraged and sickened the firefighters are that we were not allowed to do the jobโ€”the job that we have trained so hard and long to doโ€”during the historic floods that just occurred in Kerrville. We could've made a difference, and we were forced to stand down and lives were lost.

The community deserves a fire chief who cares about the community as much as our firefighters, and that is simply not the case. Joel G. Baker must go!

I am looking for an attorney. Defamation has consequences. And if I need to crowdsource for the funds, I will.

Charleston White posted this an hour ago. Itโ€™s at 100k views and counting.

The entire video spews lies about the Metcalf family and Austin. He mentioned my name at least 100 times. He fantasized about white people dylng, saying he wanted to watch white people get sh0t in real life. He called me a meth wh0re, told everyone I was on drugs, and said my information is coming from โ€œsomeone from the inside.โ€ I canโ€™t even repeat everything he said without going against TOS on this platform. Itโ€™s bad.

I want an attorney. And discovery will be revealing. He placed a target on me, my unborn child, and my family. Iโ€™m not going to stop reporting. But Iโ€™m also not going to sit here and continue to allow this libel to be spewed about me when viol*nt people are clearly involved.

If they canโ€™t silence me, they will use incitement to get what they want. They know what theyโ€™re doing. How much were you paid, Charleston?

Full link to his video is in comments. If an attorney that wants to help sees this and believes I have a case, please reach out.
Iโ€™m all over his social media. Image

FULL REPORT ON SEMI DRIVER WHO FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL IN KAUFMAN COUNTY, INCLUDING EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION โ€“ A THREAD*

27-year-old Alexis Gonzalez-Companioni was charged with five counts of manslaughter and one count of aggravated as*ault with a deadly weapon after a crash, caused by him falling asleep at the wheel, claimed five lives. Gonzalez-Companioni was in the United States seeking asylum from Cuba.

The victims k*lled were Billy McKellar, 79, of Tyler; Zabar McKellar, 52, of Fort Worth; Krishaun McKellar, 45, of Fort Worth; Kason McKellar, 16, of Fort Worth; and Nicole Gregory, 49, of Dallas.

One victim survived and was transported to the hospital, where she remains in critical condition.

According to my sources within immigration, Gonzalez-Companioni entered the country, like many Cubans, with his Spanish passport. It was a visa waiver passport, so he did not need a visa and entered under a Spanish vacation visa waiver. The limit for this visa is 90 days. However, Gonzalez-Companioni never left. That was in late November 2020.

He later applied for asylum as a Cuban and received work authorization. Residency was granted to him in 2022. As soon as he received residency due to asylum, he began traveling back and forth to Cuba.

According to my source, โ€œDC is aware of this. He was placed on a watchlist. The moment a conviction is received, he will lose any legal status in this country.โ€

My previous reporting on the Austin trucker (another tragedy caused by an immigrant seeking asylum) from Ethiopia received widespread attention, including a statement from Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, who said it was under investigation. Yet, the Austin trucker is free on $7,000 bail, and no further updates have been provided.

~Continue for more information regarding the LLC Gonzalez-Companioni worked for. All information and ties point overseas.Image
First, it is important to note that the research done on the LLC could not have been done without help from my team member, @FFAFamily. Please follow her.
It is also important to note the very concerning amount of weight that this driver clearly has. According to multiple sources that I have within the trucking industry, a neck size over 17" and/or a BMI over 28 can lead the medical examiner to send the driver for a sleep apnea test. There are certain numbers that make it mandatory.

โ€œI've seen a lot of drivers and question how they pass their physical every year. The DOT physician that signed his medical certification should be looked intoโ€Image

BREAKING: Karmelo Anthony submitted an Indigent Packet to the Collin County Court, requesting court-appointed legal representation as an indigent (financially destitute) defendant.

However, just 24 hours ago, the Anthony family updated their GiveSendGo campaign to reflect a need to raise an additional $1.4 million for โ€œa legal team.โ€

Karmelo Anthonyโ€™s mother, Kala Hayes, who manages the GiveSendGo, stated on April 17th (two months ago) that they had just gained access to the funds. At that time, they had already raised $350,000. The fundraiser has now reached $538,000.

According to a source, their current known attorney, Mike Howard, is more than likely charging a retainer fee of $10,000โ€“$30,000 and charges $400โ€“$500 per hour.

Where did the money go? Why do they need $1.4 million? Will they be granted indigence and an appointed attorney with a GiveSendGo of this magnitude? Is this considered fraud?Image
Kala Admitted on April 17th that they had access to funds. (Two months ago)
Clarification- The Anthony family updated their GiveSendGo campaign to reflect a need to raise an additional amount of funds, BRINGING THE GOAL to $1.4 million for โ€œa legal team.โ€

Faculty at Glendale Community College and other institutions have been advised by their respective administrations NOT TO interfere with DHS or ICE activities.

Julie Gamberg is a full-time English teacher at GCC, California. She is encouraging her students via email to attend a rally to โ€œdisrupt and slow ICEโ€.

She is described as โ€œliberal, shrill, unkempt and uncleanโ€.

Why is GCC allowing their teachers to directly organizing against ICE and interfere with authorities?Image

Her name is not Tiffney Billions; it is Tiffney McAdoo. Tiffney McAdoo currently owes over $70,000 in back taxes, as evidenced by a tax lien filed in 2025. She is also a convicted felon with a history of stealing from an elderly woman. When confronted with this information, her statement was, โ€œF*** the police.โ€

Tiffney made requests to FISD under the alias names Tiffney Billions and Susan McDowell. When I requested records under both names, I received the same records in two separate files from the school, confirming they were from the same person. Multiple emails show the school responding to โ€œSusan,โ€ but she replied as โ€œTiffney.โ€

She has relentlessly attacked Jeff and Meghan Metcalf, using her alleged โ€œknowledge of this videoโ€ as her premise. She claims to have obtained this information through open records requests. She also claims to be speaking with the Anthony family 3-4 times a week. Which is where she states her much of her information comes from.

It has become apparent to me that Tiffney, though she claims to be a โ€œlaw studentโ€ (she has changed her story on this several times), does not understand the public school system, its policies, FERPA laws, or who handles complaints regarding open records requests (ORRs) in Texas districts. Ms. McAdoo has made several unsubstantiated assertions, primarily based on her alleged access to video footage.

Letโ€™s address some of the basic lies she has told since claiming she โ€œsaw the incident on video.โ€

Continued in Thread ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

She claimed that Hunter is attending an alternative school. This is a lie. I confirmed with Jeff Metcalf that this is false.

She claims she saw enough of the video to determine that Hunter Metcalf is โ€œat fault for Austinโ€™s death.โ€ (Yes, the twin who held his brother in his final moments and is suffering severe trauma.) She is seeking to have him โ€œcriminally chargedโ€ and even started a petition that has collected hundreds of signatures. She also used photos of minor children in her petition. (The petition was finally taken down by the site yesterday)Image
Image
Image
She claims the video shows a fight and that Austin fell to the ground, not into Hunterโ€™s arms, contradicting Hunterโ€™s account. However, footage provided by Frisco Independent School District (FISD) depicts only an unidentifiable individual- running, tripping, and continuing, with no visible altercation. This footage lacks evidentiary value in court, which is why FISD has allowed the public to view it. If the video had value in court, it would have been submitted into evidence. Tiffney claims that she saw a fight in the video; she did not. It has no value to the court.

She claims she is filing criminal charges against me for reporting her Facebook account, which was suspended. Tiffney had over 17,000 followers on her Facebook account. Her account was not reported solely by me for harassment, bullying, and lying, but also for doxxing. Hundreds of people reported her for sharing addresses and phone numbers of individuals not even involved in the Metcalf case. I collected screenshots of this and reported her to the authorities, which is why her accounts were removed. She placed innocent individuals at risk, and authorities and Facebook responded appropriately. Her claim that she is filing criminal charges against me for โ€œcyber bullyingโ€ because I took this action is absurd. No one involved with law would take such a case.Image
