Walmart has announced it is permanently closing all of its locations in Portland months after its CEO warned of a historic rise in theft at its stores. The locations, located at the Delta Park and Eastport Plaza shopping centers in North and Southeast Portland, will shutter Friday, March 24, the retail colossus revealed in a statement this week. Walmart says they are closing the stores - which serve as a haven for low-income shoppers across the city - because they were not meeting financial expectations. That said, the closures serve as the latest instance of businesses relocating or closing shop altogether amid a pronounced rise in crime and homelessness.

This is how you get "retail deserts." You allow conditions which are hostile to commerce, and then holler when they pack up and leave.

I don't blame them for getting the hell out, just surprised it took so long. They're not in business to give their merchandise away for free to the scum of the planet. Many shoppers of those Wal-marts voted for these leftwing idiot politicians that are perfectly fine with criminals running the state. Now they can shop at.....who cares?

Wokeism considers shoplifting to be JUSTICE when done by Blacks. What closing stores that are going broke from stealing means to these people is a company trying to KILL the Black Man. About as moronic as saying that even one person silently praying near an abortion clinic is intimidation. But those views are part of the same general pathology of the "Progressives".

The Democrats have assumed quite a few different kinds of attitudes over the course of the last year and all surrounding one topic; the events of January 6. First, they were horrified and scared of being harmed, then they were righteously furious, then they were stoically pursuing justice. Their noble quest to bring the guilty to justice over an attempted “insurrection” was one of epic proportions and they would stop at nothing to right the wrongs and protect the country from the murderous and treasonous machinations of Trump and those who consider themselves MAGA fanatics. But then midterms happened. The Democrats lost their majority in the House

Kevin McCarthy said that he doesn't regret giving Tucker Carlson footage from the January 6 Capitol attack as he repeatedly dodged questions about what the Fox News host decided to air. The House Speaker insisted while speaking with reports outside his office on Tuesday that he had not yet seen what Carlson put on his show Monday night and therefore would not comment. He also tore into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for criticizing Fox for airing the footage, claiming that he should also then denounce CNN for revealing the secure locations of lawmakers the day of the Capitol riot.

Congressional Republicans’ “Commitment to America” isn’t just a legislative agenda, it’s part of the broader effort to restore the voice of the people to Capitol Hill, and that involves advancements in how they communicate with their constituents. Predating the Founding Fathers, “franking” has existed as a means to facilitate communicating matters of official government business with the public. Though reliable, direct mail simply can’t beat modern forms of communication for expedience, range, and cost-effectiveness.To that end, members of the House Republican Conference will be rolling out a truly modern update to directly reach the people of their districts wherever they are through text messaging.

Over the course of two years, hundreds of witness interviews, and 10 highly choreographed public hearings, Democrats in Congress sought to create a carefully constructed story of the January 6th Capitol Hill riots. How fitting that such an extravagant outlay of government resources would be thrown on the trash heap by a single cable news segment. On Monday night, Fox News' Tucker Carlson played never-before-seen footage of the Capitol riot. The closed-circuit security tape appears to show the notorious, so-called QAnon Shaman (a.k.a. Jacob Chansley) being led through the halls of Congress by police. The video has no audio, so we can't hear what the police told Chansley. But we can see

In addition, Carlson allegedly debunked the January 6 Committee’s claim that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) had run away from the Capitol in fear. It also showed police escorting Shaman Jacob Chansley inside the Capitol.

Tucker Carlson released never-before-seen footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at Capitol Hill that appear to dispel several narratives pushed by the Democrat-controlled House Select Committee and the legacy media. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted "Tucker Carlson Tonight" an exclusive first look to over 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol Building that were hidden from the public for over two years. On Monday, Carlson offered the first glimpses of footage involving key figures from that day. Carlson concluded the footage proves that lawmakers and the media were "lying" about the events that took place on Jan. 6.

Adams said the move would help cops “use the technology we have available to identify those shoplifters and those who are committing serious crimes.”
