Walmart's CEO has warned that the retail giant may have to hike prices and shutter some stores amid 'historically high' thefts. Speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box Tuesday, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon admitted that theft has become a major issue for the chain known for its low prices, saying woke district attorneys' lenient policies need to be 'corrected.' 'If that's not corrected over time, prices will be higher and our stores will close,' he told co-host Rebecca Quick. McMillon did not specify in the interview which locations have experienced this record-high level of shoplifting, but his announcement comes after Walmarts in Los Angeles resorted to locking up most of their inventory

The elite, $40,000-a-year Chicago school that was recently revealed to have students as young as 14 discussing sex toys also has 'affinity groups' that ban white children from attending.
Francis W. Parker School has come under fire after Dean Joseph Bruno, 41, told an undercover reporter from the conservative news website Project Veritas that the school aims to teach students at the Francis W. Parker School all about queer sexual intercourse.
There's more to the 'progressive' school's activities, including the affinity groups for children as young as four.
KILLEEN, Texas - A nine-year-old boy who went viral for his touching tribute to fallen soldiers on Memorial Day while dressed in a pint-sized Marine uniform is planning to don the uniform again Friday as he delivers toys he purchased for the annual US Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots, an effort to provide toys to those who cannot afford to buy them for Christmas.
The toy drive was founded by a Marine reservist in 1947.
Lain Salisbury, a fourth grader at Timber Ridge Elementary in Killeen ISD, is the son of Brad, a retired disabled Army vet who also retired from the US Marine Corps.

Athlete,’ Who ‘Represents the Best
of America’ 8 replies
President Joe Biden on Thursday celebrated the news that his administration had successfully secured the release of WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner, who was detained in Russia.
“Brittney is an incomparable athlete,” Biden said, noting she was a two-time Olympic Gold medalist for the United States.
Griner was arrested in February at a Moscow airport by Russian officials for possession of cannabis vape cartridges.
“She represents the best about America — just across the board, everything about her,” Biden said.(Photo) The Biden administration secured Griner’s release after they agreed to exchange her freedom for the release of Viktor Bout, a convicted international weapons dealer.
Former Putin aide Sergei Markov wrote a blistering series of Telegram messages on Thursday celebrating how Putin “outplayed” Biden in the prisoner swap that brought Brittney Griner back to the US in exchange for Viktor Bout, who government officials have called “one of the most dangerous men on the face of the earth”.
“Putin outplayed Biden,” Markov wrote on Telegram.
“We got back our spy, it seems, and gave away a normal girl,” he continued.
Markov continued his series of posts with a chilling message, saying that nobody should be “hopeful” that this is a step forward in relations between Russia and the US. He further claimed that a motivating factor
Elon Musk took his two-year-old son to Twitter headquarters and gifted him with his own access key on Thursday.
X AE A-Xii Musk, also referred to as X, is the latest guest to roam the San Francisco office since his billionaire father took over the social media giant in a $44 billion deal.
The adorable two-year-old smiled while in front of a classic heart shaped sculpture and later showed off his personal badge.
'Like father, like son,' one commenter wrote while pointing out the two-year-old's resemblance to Musk when he was the same age.
Twitter kept a 'secret blacklist' of topics and accounts to prevent them from trending, according to data obtained by journalist Bari Weiss - with up to 200 'cases' being dealt with a day by a special division within the company.
Conservative commentators such as Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk were deliberately put on a 'search blacklist' - in the case of Bongino - or tabbed 'do not amplify', in the case of Kirk.
Those who questioned the prevailing COVID orthodoxy of lockdowns and mask mandates, such as Stanford's Dr Jay Bhattacharya, who argued that lockdowns harmed children, were also placed on a 'search blacklist'.
A newly released investigation reveals the extent to which American taxpayer-funded non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are sending tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens to towns across all 50 states.
The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project obtained data showing about 30,000 unique mobile devices at 35 NGO centers and one Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility stationed along the United States-Mexico border.
Ultimately, the investigation “confirmed that a host of NGOs are actively facilitating” large scale illegal immigration into the U.S. interior as CBP transfers border crossers and illegal aliens en masse to NGOs, funded by taxpayers, which then provide transportation services so arrivals can be sent to all 50 states.
An FBI agent has provided sworn testimony that the bureau’s leadership was directly involved in colluding with Big Tech companies to censor certain political information during the 2020 presidential election.
As reported by Just The News, Elvis Chan, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Cyber Branch in San Francisco, provided the information to lawyers for the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana, as part of a lawsuit filed by those two states regarding government coordination with Big Tech to censor alleged COVID-19 “misinformation.” Chan testified that he was in charge of a “command post” in San Francisco that played a crucial role in a nationwide censorship operation.
Twitter boss Elon Musk could potentially move the company headquarters out of San Francisco after the city launched an investigation into reports that part of its corporate offices were converted into makeshift sleeping quarters for overworked employees.
Musk publicly chafed at the decision by San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection to probe complaints that Twitter could be violating zoning regulations.
He has also claimed the company’s location in the ultra-liberal bastion could pose an obstacle to his goal of restoring “free speech” to the platform.
“What is happening is an export of the moral framework of San Francisco to Earth,” Musk said during a Twitter Spaces conference
Former US Marine Paul Whelan has spoken out from Russian prison after four years behind bars, slamming the Biden administration for failing to secure his release in the prisoner swap that freed WNBA star Brittney Griner.
Whelan said he was being held as a 'hostage' of Russia and pleaded for the White House to 'do everything they could to get me home' as he faces another 12 years in a Russian penal colony.
Whelan was not part of Thursday's controversial prisoner swap, which saw Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman help broker Griner's release

Proving once again that he could care less about the will of the American people, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) admitted that he wants Democrats in Congress to use the lame-duck period between now and January, when Republicans regain control of the House, to pass an omnibus spending bill that will fund government spending for the entirety of next year, preventing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from “having any control” over the amount of taxpayer money that will be thrown at liberal causes, such as climate change and the war in Ukraine.

Nancy Pelosi is headed out the door as Speaker of the House after serving two four-year stints crushing American freedoms and prosperity.
Instead of treating her tenure like the disaster it was, though, the Capitol press corps is doing exactly what you’d expect. Namely, idolizing Pelosi and treating her like a celebrity. That led to a farewell picture that is causing a stir, and more importantly, leading to some hilarious memes.(Tweet/Photo) Notice anything? If you are politically astute and have paid attention to leftwing rhetoric over the last decade or so, what’s wrong with the picture will jump out immediately: Everyone is white.

Former WNBA star Brittney Griner was reportedly released by Russia in a prisoner swap for a notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, according to a US official.
In February, Griner, a two-time Olympic basketball champion, was arrested by Russia and pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis vape cartridges at an airport near Moscow.
Possessing seven grams or more carries criminal penalties in Russia. Those can include up to two years of “corrective labor.” Yet Griner was charged with smuggling cannabis into Russia, which holds a prison sentence of five to 10 years. Griner was sentenced to nine
Grocery bills are too expensive for the average American and customers are changing their shopping habits, according to a survey released Wednesday.
The True Cost of a Grocery Shop survey conducted by Swiftly, a retail technologies company, was given to a random pool of 1,500 participants. Results measured the habits of consumers and how they navigate inflation as it drives up grocery costs.
The survey found that more than two-thirds of consumers are struggling to afford groceries. About 83% of respondents said they rely on coupons or some form of customer rewards when they shop.
President Joe Biden spoke at the 10th Annual National Gun Control Vigil Wednesday night and assured attendees he is still pushing to “limit the number of bullets than can be in a cartridge.”
Biden said this after mentioning the gun control legislation he signed into law in mid-summer 2022. After Biden mentioned his gun control legislation, he quickly added, “It’s still not enough,” and vigil attendees broke into applause. He then said, “Our work continues to limit the number of bullets that can be in a cartridge, type of weapons that can be purchased and sold, attempt to ban ‘assault weapons,’ a whole range of things that are just commonsense.”
Tom Cotton Confronts Kroger CEO Over Employees

Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton confronted Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen on Nov. 29 after he suggested Republicans help save businesses while Democrats impose heavy regulations.
Cotton spoke during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the proposed merger between the Kroger and Albertsons grocery chains, and said companies shouldn’t inject themselves into cultural issues only to ask conservatives for help later on.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens ignited a social media firestorm when she asked men to weigh in on their opinion of women’s use of Botox and fillers to enhance their lips.
“Botox” made it to the Twitter trending list on Monday after Owens requested “male opinions only” on the topic of injections as part of her research for a project she is working on about “social media mutating people’s appetites.”
While several men weighed in on their preferences, Owens’ tweet appeared to hit a nerve with some women online.
Exclusive: President Biden intends to run for re-election in 2024, and a senior adviser told Fox News that another run is something the Biden family "fully" supports. The White House in recent months has emphasized Biden’s "intentions" to run for re-election, but has not committed either way. Biden, who turned 80 last month, is the oldest president in history.
"As the President has said, he intends to run for re-election," a senior advisor told Fox News. "That is something both Dr. Biden and the family fully support." Biden has faced questions about whether he will run in 2024 in part because of his age, as well as concerns from Democrats
The House of Representatives passed legislation with bipartisan support on Thursday that would codify same-sex marriage protections.
Lawmakers voted to enact the bill 258 to 169, with 39 Republicans breaking with their party to join 219 Democrats on the motion. Last month, the bill cleared the Senate, with moderate Republicans Senators Susan Collins, Rob Portman, and Thom Tillis reaching across the aisle to provide the necessary GOP votes. The measure now goes to President Biden’s desk for final approval.
Many Republicans objected to the Respect for Marriage Act on the grounds that it lacked sufficient provisions
President Joe Biden is set to announce a roughly $36 billion bailout for union pension plans Thursday after his calls for Congress to force rail unions to accept a new contract strained his relationship with labor groups.
The Central States Pension Fund (CSPF) primarily represents more than 350,000 workers in the Teamsters Union, and was set to become insolvent by 2026, according to CNBC. The bailout is funded through the March 2021 American Rescue Plan (ARP), Biden’s signature COVID-19 relief legislation, and is intended to keep the CSPF solvent through 2051 and prevent a 60% cut to members’ retirement benefits, Bloomberg reported.
In years past, when journalism was trusted by consumers much more than it is today, The New York Post might have been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop. New Twitter owner Elon Musk might have also won awards for his revelations of collusion between Twitter, intelligence officials who claimed the story was Russian disinformation and leading Democrats who were in touch with social-media owners to suppress stories that might have harmed Joe Biden’s election as president.
There is a snobbery among the journalistic elite, which distrusts information that doesn’t come from certain organs, like The New York Times, The Washington Post and major broadcast media.
Liberal and tolerant Public Health™ experts seem to have finally sussed out, based on hard clinical research, the true sources of LGBTQ+++™ youth suicidality. (Snip) What on Earth could drive 60% of non-binary children to want to kill themselves?
Probably bigotry!
Forbes continues:
Researchers said the resulting data shines a light on the mental health disparities, discrimination, housing instability, barriers to accessing mental health care, conversion therapy, and suicide plaguing LGBTQ youth.
It’s obviously just a major coincidence that suicidality increases when pop culture floods children’s corporate media programming to celebrate “Transgender Day of Visibility” and libbed-out parents encourage their four-year-old children to “explore their genders.” This is clearly not disorienting

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) predicted on Thursday that leftist President Joe Biden’s decision to trade imprisoned basketball player Brittney Griner for notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, known as the “merchant of death,” would result in people dying as rogue states interpreted the move as open season to arrest Americans.
Cotton’s remarks came in an appearance on the SiriusXM Patriot program Breitbart News Daily hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow. Biden announced and the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday that Griner and Bout were both free.
“As a result of the efforts made, we managed to agree with the American side to arrange an exchange of Viktor Bout
Monday, Service Employees Internation Union Local 87 in San Francisco went out on strike. Ordinarily, a janitor’s union local striking wouldn’t make national news, but this local provides cleaning services for Twitter headquarters.
It started last week when 20 cleaning crew members were told that Friday would be the last day they were needed at Twitter headquarters. Twitter headquarters is serviced by a company called Flagship Maintenance Solutions. As expected, this company devotes part of its website to its role in mitigating climate change (huh? w*f?) and its inclusion and equity program.
From the various accounts, it seems like Twitter had opted not to renew its contract with Flagship
