Syndication Results in 2 Permalinks

I’ve spent all day on this, and I just can’t figure it out. I’ll try my hardest to explain my conundrum, but it’s pretty complicated.

A website I’m developing uses takes the feeds of a few different blogs, and syndicates them into new posts. I can verify that new posts are created, based on the archives on my site… However, on my post list on my homepage, I can’t get the syndicated blogs to link to the NEW created posts… They just forward to the old posts on their original site. Meanwhile, the new posts just look so much better and cleaner. The goal: Get the title links on the homepage to link to the new posts instead of the old ones.

Here’s the homepage url:

https://www.badkarmaproductions.com/bk08/

Click on some of the titles of the posts in the lower left “blog” section, to see what I mean (ignore the top 2 “wedded” ones, they aren’t syndicated so they do not display the problem. Start with the ones below that, such as “Adaptation”).

Now… Check out those very same posts in the archives:

https://www.badkarmaproductions.com/bk08/?page_id=104

For example, “Adaptation” takes you to the original post, on blogger, when you click on it from the homepage. Meanwhile, the link for “Adaptation” under “by post” on the archives page keeps you on the site, with the newly created post.

How can I get the ones on the front to link to the new ones instead of the old?

Here is the code on the mainpage in question:

"<b><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>" - <?php the_date();?></a></b> <br /><a href="<?php the_author_url() ?>">Posted by <?php the_author() ?> at <?php the_time() ;?></a>

As you see, it’s using permalinks…. Is there something else I should be referencing?
