Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/14/2023 3:23:52 PM

Local leaders in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, located in the south side, held a press conference to demand the area's Walmart to not close down, going as far as to blame the company leaving the area is the reason they not are economically thriving. "We have healthcare deserts. We have food deserts. And we wonder why! Our communities look like they look! That we have violence every single day! It is not just on us, it is on the corporate citizens that come into our community and ravage our community. And Walmart, you should absolutely be ashamed of yourselves. You are the reasons that our communities lack the investment that they have,"

Comments:

"We demand Walmart leaves this store open so we can continue our undocumented shopping!!" Nervy little buggers, ain't they???

Sorry folks, you'll have to drive further to rip off another Wal Mart. Eventually, those stores will close too, then you may have to drive to Indiana or Iowa to get your freebies.

No surprise here. Gimmedats always blame anybody but themselves for their own behavior. It's how they "make" their living.

Look at Chicago's last mayor, look at who Chicago just elected. That is why you are not thriving. Elections have consequences.

Welp, it didn't take them long to start complaining about the 'deserts' they themselves created. Thankfully a business stood up and said no more. I hope there are more businesses doing that.

Just imagine, Walmart hires some woke Ivy League wacko who comes up with the idea to continue the looting, only more organized. Walmart will load up grocery carts full of items from each department. The looters will just wait in line for their cart. No money involved, just bring back the cart. Once this innovative program gets rolling, there will be many nonprofits who will complain about the 'equity' of each cart. Legislation will be passed, and mandatory Cart Looting Equity Managers will be hired nationwide to 'spread the wealth.'

Good lord. According to the residents it’s those evil WalMart executives that come into their neighborhoods and commit acts of violence. Until and unless the people recognize that civilized behavior begins in the home they are doomed. No business is going to stay around if they are being robbed every day.

Wal-Mart owes two groups something. 1) It owes its shoppers a safe shopping environment, and 2) It owes it stockholders to earn as high of a return on their investment (in the form of profits) as possible!!! It owes nothing to cities that allow its lowest feral citizens to rob them blind to be "woke"!!!

Woman Who Says Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted

Joe Biden has a well-documented history of inappropriate behavior with young women — and even little girls. But one of the most serious accusations came from Tara Reade in 2019, when she revealed publicly that Joe Biden touched her inappropriately while she worked as a staffer in his Senate office in 1993. According to Reade, Biden would place his hand on her shoulder and run his finger up her neck, causing her to freeze until he stopped. Later on, in March 2020, Reade expanded on her accusations, claiming that Biden sexually assaulted her by pinning her against a wall, kissing her, and touching her under her shirt and skirt.

The first thing on most people’s minds after Joe Biden officially announced his intent to run for president again was, “Seriously? He’s 80 years old and clearly experiencing cognitive decline. What’s he thinking?” Naturally, the obvious concerns about his advanced age and diminished mental acuity has led to speculation that Biden’s seeking reelection in order to hand off the presidency to Kamala Harris, who would otherwise be unelectable. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was given the opportunity to dispute this theory during Tuesday’s White House press briefing… and didn’t. “Does the president plan to serve all eight years?” a reporter asked.

New Yorkers are speaking out on President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign slogan “Finish The Job,” questioning what job he has even started. During a recent segment from Newsmax, random individuals shared their skepticism about Biden’s ability to lead the country while poking fun at the president’s slogan. “You gotta start a job before you finish it,” said one New Yorker interviewed. “I don’t really know what job he started. I don’t think he knows what he’s saying half the time.” Another went as far as suggesting a new campaign slogan for Biden: “I quit.”

Gropey Joe Biden seems to be waging a war on children, and half the nation seems to be ok with that. FACT-O-RAMA! Many liberals will agree with any/every decree from their commie masters so they can virtue-signal their morality cowardice to the world, even when they are told it’s ok to mutilate an eight-year-old child who is hungry for social acceptance and “likes” on TikTok. President Biden seems to have many ways to harm kids — or at least keep them from procreating. Let’s look at two of them.

Oh Brother: Warner Bros. to Mark Its 100th

The famed Hollywood studio Warner Bros. is celebrating its hundredth anniversary this year, and it certainly has a rich history to showcase. The studio could have coasted through its anniversary year by rolling out some of its classic films, which range from the very beginnings of cinema to today, to new audiences. But some daring young innovative thinker at Warner Bros. decided to do something at once more audacious, more risky, and much more certain to produce ghastly results: Warner is going to mark its hundredth birthday with “a short film series that reimagines the Studio’s iconic films through a diverse and inclusive lens.” Hey, it could be worse.

Democrats constantly talk about how much they want to protect “democracy.” It’s become parodic at this point, with every single thing the left doesn’t like being described as a threat to democratic governance. When you take a step back, though, it becomes obvious who the real threat is. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez illustrated that perfectly in an interview that aired Sunday. While on MSNBC, the New York congresswoman spoke to Jen Psaki, which just rounds out the absurdity of the entire scene. The former press secretary for Joe Biden, one of the biggest political hacks in existence, is now cosplaying as an unbiased journalist, but I digress.

A coroner has determined that a 32-year-old “healthy” British doctor died from a cerebral blood clot caused by a reaction to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Stephen Wright passed away in January 2021 — just ten days after receiving his first dose of the vaccine. His wife, Charlotte Wright, is trying to get the cause of death changed from “natural causes” on his death certificate. She has also filed a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company and dozens of people. Senior Coroner Andrew Harris explained in a court hearing that Wright’s death was caused by a brainstem infarction, bleed on the brain, and “vaccine-induced thrombosis.”

Tucker Carlson’s firing from Fox News came after he used vulgar language to describe a network executive, the Wall Street Journal reported. Carlson described a senior Fox News executive as a C-word in a text message obtained by lawyers as part of a defamation lawsuit between the network and Dominion Voting Systems, according to the Journal, which like Fox is part of the Murdoch media empire. In a case settled last week for $787.5m, Fox lawyers reportedly convinced the Delaware judge to redact the message from public filings. Carlson, however, was still reportedly furious the network was not doing enough to protect him.

When she stepped forward with her allegations in 2019, Trump "lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m trying to get my life back," Carroll said during her testimony at the civil trial in federal court in Lower Manhattan. Carroll, 79, said she first met Trump — who has said he doesn't know who she is and had never met her — in 1987 at a "Saturday Night Live" party, where she was a writer at the time.

Mr. Carlson is paid about $20 million a year, one of the people said."
