Disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has sounded the alarm over growing panic inside the FBI, as President Donald Trump continues his brutal crackdown on deep-state corruption, targeting officials involved in the politically motivated January 6 cases. Recenlt, Trump fired David Sundberg, the top official at the FBI’s Washington Field Office, along with nearly 90 other high-ranking FBI officials last Friday.

Walgreens' CEO has admitted that locking up items to avoid shoplifting has not worked - and it will close stores instead. Not only has the practice not curbed theft, it has dramatically hit sales. Over the past few years, major retailers like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and Target have increasingly resorted to locking up everyday items such as toothbrushes, deodorant, laundry detergent, coffee, and even milk. The practice has sparked customer frustration, with many complaining about the inconvenience of waiting for an employee to unlock basic necessities. During an earnings call on Friday, Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth made a startling admission....

We’re all old enough to remember when Gavin Newsom and his band of progressive cronies basically legalized looting in California, right? Thanks to the soft-on-crime crowd, looting has turned into its own booming industry—and it’s now spreading like wildfire. Pun sadly intended. Who can forget the viral videos of typical thugs ransacking stores, casually sauntering out with up to $950 worth of stolen goods, knowing they’d face zero consequences? That’s the progressive brilliance of California’s Prop 47—a law so utterly absurd it pretty much gives criminals a free pass to loot, as long as they stay under the magic $950...

Two looters were arrested recently after they dressed as firefighters and entered local homes vacated in the Palisades Fire, according to information given by the Los Angeles Police Department to community members Saturday evening.

We are witnessing, in real time, an end to civilization. Chaos -this is what a world looks like with no law and order. This is the Democrat wet dream.

L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna announced several measures Thursday to ramp up security in areas that have been evacuated because of devastating fires in the area. More than 20 arrests have been made on suspicion of looting over the last few days. As part of that effort, National Guard troops were in place Friday in some burn zones to provide protection. “The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has officially requested the support of the California National Guard for both fires,” Luna said. “They will be assisting us with traffic control and critical infrastructure protection. “Having additional resources, having the National...

Title speaks for itself, just watch the video. Instead of shooting looters in this situation they should be tied up in the woods and burned at the stake.

'Cars pull up, doors open, and groups of men run up to the doors of evacuated houses. There were 100 people who came up on scooters and were trying to get into any and all houses.' VIDEO AT LINK..............

What if Chinese hackers successfully disrupted the entire SNAP network? FBI Director Christopher Wray recently warned America about a possible Chinese cyberattack on our electric grid, transportation centers, and energy facilities that would almost destroy our economy. The impact of such an attack is hardly hypothetical -- countless schools, hospitals and private firms have been hit with such attacks and millions in ransom has been paid to hackers. SNIP In 2020, 27% of SNAP recipients were Black. Like all government programs, it occasionally stumbles. For example, recipients in Georgia recently had their payments delayed due to administrative glitches. Severe weather...

Gov. Kathy Hochul will pledge to crack down on retail theft as part of her 2024 policy agenda, The Post has learned — as fed-up New York business owners continue to plead for help with the shoplifting scourge. Merchants are turning up the heat on Hochul and the Democratic-led state Legislature, calling for stiffer penalties against serial offenders wreaking havoc in their stores. “We’re going to continue living this nightmare if legislators don’t fix this mess,” said Nelson Eusabio of the National Supermarket Association and part of the coalition Collective Action to Protect Our Stores (CAP). Lawmakers representing 213 districts...
