CVS Stores in DC Resort to Framed Portraits of Toilet Paper, Other Products to Counter Rampant Theft
One CVS drug store in Washington, D.C. has taken much of its stock off the shelves and is using the space to display photos of what customers used to be able to grab for themselves.
Conservative commentator Joey Mannarino posted to X photos he claimed were from a CVS store on H Street in Washington, D.C.
“This is from the CVS on H Street in Washington DC. Due to the out-of-control theft, they have now put away almost all their items and just have photographs of what is in stock. You press the button and the sales associate gets you what you need,” he posted.
“I was in Barcelona, Spain a few months ago and saw Mac laptops sitting out in the middle of the store. This is how we have to live in America now? This is the third world!” he wrote.
The shelves are similar to the look at a CVS on 14th Street in Washington’s Columbia Heights neighborhood, which was recently targeted by a gang of about 50 teenage looters, according to the Daily Mail.
“You’d think the store is closing because there’s barely anything on the shelves,” WTTG-TV reporter Sierra Fox said.
“They stole the whole store. There’s nothing in the store. You can’t even get a water. I’ve never seen nothing like that in my life,” would-be customer Mark Ward said, according to WDMV-TV.

Bury the kid and lock up the mother, the father too if the mother knows who it is.
They call this unfortunate, but was it.?
This child pretended to have a gun. How long was it going to be before he did have a gun, and started using it..
This person who shot this kid prevented how many future crimes that this child was bound to commit in the future.
What ever happened to reform schools.. maybe not the best solution, but at least some form of solution instead of the Judges turning them loose without punishment.

My uncle Michael did 6 months in a reform school, which had its own farm that the juvie d's worked.
He never got in trouble again. He had broke another kid's leg with a baseball bat, out of pure spite.

In a real police department it would seem a priority to find out where this young thug got his gun. It is apparent to me that he didn't get it from a gun store where he had to apply and get a background check. His bail should have been held up until he squealed on the person who supplied the gun. Did he steal it himself? If so that is another charge. It is also apparent that the usual suspect doing the video taping was a co-conspirator in this crime and should be held just as guilty as the perpetrator. Where is his ankle bracelet and bail? And of course there is the Judge.
San Francisco McDonald’s Shuts Down After 30 Years amid City’s Decline
The fast-food location’s ownership, Scott Rodrick of Rodrick Management Group, had a negative view when speaking of the issue, Fox Business reported Saturday:
The location has been in business for 30 years, but employees have had to find work at other McDonald’s restaurants in the area.
Rodrick said his other locations are doing well after the coronavirus pandemic, but shuttering the downtown location was like “a gut punch.”
In May, San Francisco launched its first video advertising campaign in an effort to bring tourists back to the area after a long history of reports revealing its issues with crime, homelessness, and urban decay, Breitbart News reported.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that two alleged robbers entered the pizzeria around 8 p.m. “wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks.”
One of the alleged robbers was armed with a handgun and fired a round while trying to get behind the counter. One of the pizzeria employees then opened fire on the suspect, shooting the alleged robber multiple times.
The alleged robber was pronounced dead approximately 30 minutes after entering the pizzeria.
6 ABC noted that “the second suspect fled from the pizza shop on foot.”
Bill Hackett, who lives in the neighborhood where George’s Famous Pizzeria is located, was at the scene and told 6 ABC, “What I saw was a guy lying down on the ground. Blood. The owner’s son said he had to shoot him because the guy was shooting at him. Said he had to shoot back in self-defense.”

Alleged Robber Dead After Shootout with Pizza Store Employee
An alleged robber was shot and killed during an exchange of gunfire Saturday night with an employee at a Philadelphia pizzeria.
The UK Daily Mail ran an update story Monday about the mass Antifa indictments in Atlanta, headlined “Transgender Antifa 'rioter' Jamie Marsicano whose dad's a tycoon DANCES into Atlanta court as she and 61 others are arraigned for 'terrorizing' proposed police training facility. ‘Jamie’ is this totally-sane person:
One of the Mail’s sub-headlines pointed out Mr. Marsicano’s fashion choices: "Transgender Marsicano pranced around in a black skirt, cardigan, and red scarf as she (he) arrived at Fulton County Courthouse this morning.” It didn’t say whether Marsicano shopped at Target.
James 'Jamie' Marsicano, 29 — a dancing advertisement for the nation’s mental health crisis — was charged along with 21 others in court yesterday for domestic terrorism, after he and other rioters burned construction vehicles and launched commercial-grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails at police at the site of the future Atlanta Police Safety Training Center on March 5th. James was also charged with racketeering along with 60 other bizarre lunatics.
James is not exactly underprivileged. He is currently attending his first year at law school, which is not a good sign for the future, and his multi-millionaire father runs a $4B foundation. Journalist Andy Ngo reported that, when it was James’s turn to appear, he informed the judge he prefers to be called by "they/them" pronouns. The judge apologized; “I won’t remember that, I’m sorry.”
Andy also tweeted mug shots of many of macabre individuals who were charged, and if I told you the collection looks a lot like a circus freak show, then I would be forced by common decency to apologize to all the specially-abled performers in circuses around the country.
I’ll just say this: These people are not well.
Finally, I’ll note without further comment that these hundreds of actual domestic terrorists are being prosecuted under Georgia state law. In other words, the feds have shown no interest in them whatsoever. You’d think they would have gotten pretty excited about finding some proper domestic terrorists to prosecute.
I just don’t know what to think about the FBI’s wholesale disinterest in these real-live terrorists. I mean, the FBI didn’t even have to organize and fund these terrorists themselves. What do you suppose it all means?

“As part of my continuing commitment to transparency in this matter, I am sharing with the community that a suspect has been taken into custody for the murder of Samantha Woll,” said Detroit Police Chief James White in an update posted to X on Wednesday.
“While this is an encouraging development in our desire to bring closure for Ms. Woll’s family, it does not represent the conclusion of our work in this case,” White said, adding that the “details of the investigation will remain confidential at this time to ensure the integrity of the important steps that remain.”
He concluded by saying that investigators “will be continuing their work with the Wayne County Prosecutors Office until the conclusion of this investigation.”
Woll was killed at a time of increased concerns for the safety of Jewish people in the United States and abroad as Israel went to war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the group launched terrorist attacks on Israeli soil on October 7 that killed an estimated 1,400-plus people.
A shooting at a Texas flea market killed a child and wounded 4 other people, police say
- A shooting at a flea market in a Houston suburb resulted in the death of a juvenile and injuries to four others. The incident occurred after an argument between two individuals, who exchanged gunfire inside the market. Police are still working to identify the responsible parties and have not provided further information about the victims.
- The shooting at the flea market in Pearland was not a targeted attack on the market but rather a disturbance between two people. Police are conducting interviews with witnesses to determine the number of shooters and rounds fired. The market is a popular weekend destination, typically attracting thousands of visitors.
- In a separate incident, a Texas police officer was killed and another officer wounded after responding to a stabbing. The officers were met with gunfire from the suspect, resulting in the suspect's death and the hospitalization of the second officer. Two victims were found inside the residence with fatal injuries.
NEWS FROM THE COUNTER-REVOLUTION. Oregon Public Broadcasting ran a heartening story last week headlined, “Oregon cities join police, prosecutors in push to recriminalize drug possession.” Imagine that.https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch...df68-ea0c-4af1-9c3d-9b19c10e06bd_1560x434.png
You’re probably already thinking that the headline merely shows a crumb of common sense, more useless than the finely shredded fibers left over on the inside of an empty weed baggie. But that’s as harsh as a year-old joint found down in the bottom of the crack of the couch.
Portlanders’ common sense must be graded on a curve.
Back in 2020, in a massive wave of psilocybin-fueled virtue signaling, Oregonians resoundingly passed the now infamous Ballot Measure 110, widely lauded as the state’s “pioneering” drug decriminalization law. The new law decriminalized possession of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin, meth, and fentanyl. Instead, Oregon police are now only allowed to hand out $100 civil citations. And the $100 fines are waived when druggies call a toll-free substance-abuse help line that offers free out- or in-patient treatment.
Predictably, it utterly failed. The druggies don’t even bother calling the help line. Out of 6,200 issued fines, only 50 called the toll-free number. Police officers tell stories of things like druggies immediately and non-virtuously littering by throwing the citations away right in front of cops. One officer said he watched a druggie use the citation paper to wrap and smoke a joint.
After two years of monitoring civilization’s meltdown, many Oregonians are finally sobering up to the problem, and they now want to re-criminalize drug possession after all. Local KOIN-6 reported that, since BM110’s passage, “the drug crisis has grown exponentially.” The station even made a helpful flow chart showing how poorly-flowing is the current, constipated BM110 system:
So Oregonians are now having some hard conversations about how to fix their free-wheeling, reality-defying, not-so-Brave New World. Options include flat-out re-criminalization, involuntary drug treatment that is like jail, but with mental-health services, or a wide variety of hybrid approaches.
But nobody (except the ACLU, and who cares?) seems to think the current system is working.
Maybe the liberal paradise of Oregon is finally feeling the cold water of reality splashed into its sleepy face. Or … maybe … the conservative counter-revolution is even sweeping into distant liberal lands like Portland.

New film gives reel truth in the face of George Floyd lies
A brilliant new crowdfunded documentary, “The Fall of Minneapolis,” aims to remedy our collective amnesia about the events of May 25, 2020 — a time when the country was already half-mad from the ravages of COVID-19 and forced lockdowns, and when Democratic Party operatives, including candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, seized on the “Defund the police” movement, in order to bring down President Donald Trump.
So many lies have been told since, and so much truth buried by the Big Tech censors that control reality, that the documentary arrives like a slap in the face.
“The Fall of Minneapolis” reveals a shocking tale of injustice and perfidy, and a ruthless political operation that contained the seeds of the January 6 Capitol riot eight months later and the consequent hyperbolic crackdown on Trump supporters.
The film was produced by Liz Collin, a former anchor at a CBS affiliate in the Twin Cities who was taken off air during the riots and demoted because her husband, Bob Kroll, was the Minneapolis police union chief at the time.
Their house was besieged by angry mobs yelling abuse over megaphones and beating piñata effigies of the couple throughout the trial of police officer Derek Chauvin.
Deep-Blue Santa Ana, California, May Give Voting Rights to Illegal Aliens
Next year, during the November 5 election, voters in Santa Ana will be asked whether or not they want to approve giving the right to vote in municipal elections to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, which would then go into effect by 2028.
According to the latest estimates, foreign nationals are nearly 25 percent of the resident population in Santa Ana. Potentially 60,000 illegal aliens reside in the city, parts of which voted 81 percent for President Joe Biden against former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
The measure is significant because local elections are often decided by very small margins where a few hundred votes can make or break a candidate. If voters approve the measure, Santa Ana would become yet another deep blue locality to afford local voting rights to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens.
Most recently, as Breitbart News reported, Democrats on the Boston, Massachusetts, city council introduced a plan that would extend local voting rights to foreign nationals living in the city who arrived on visas, green cards, and other forms of legal status.
