Video footage captured the moment the Bottega Veneta store on Chicago's Magnificent Mile being robbed for the second time in three weeks - after the city's AG stopped pursuing shoplifters who steal less than $1,000. One robber was seen letting his pal into the Italian designer store, scaring a terrified shop assistant in the process, before they began clearing its shelves of luxury leather goods, which retail for up to $6,200. The thieves had left the scene with luxury merchandise that cost tens of thousands of dollars, exactly 21 days after a prior robbery saw 35 bags lifted on September 20.

Their employees must be terrified.

Pretty soon Democrats, who want to buy a Nice Bag or piece of Jewelry, will have to travel to a Republican City to find a Store carrying expensive stuff! Funny thing that the Thugs running into stores and stealing everything they can carry, don't do it in a Republican City. Could it be that they know they will be Jailed and prosecuted if caught?

What is the valuer of Christianity? Here is an example from the most prominent Catholic theologian: "If you own something, it is yours. If it is stolen from you, it is still yours, if it is discovered some years in the future, it is still yours. The only way it cannot remain ours is for YOU to give up ownership voluntarily."

The robbers will include the retail value of the stolen items on their IRS 1040 tax return but they will also need to submit a schedule C for self-employment. Please note that this sort of activity DOES NOT happen in California since AB-5 made many independent contractors illegal.

If they aren't bothering to catch anyone how can they ever tell it was more than $1000? And if the clerk says it was more than $1000 it's too late the perp is gone.

FLINT, MI -- A British production company behind an Alec Baldwin-narrated documentary on the Flint water crisis is postponing a planned U.S. theatrical release after the actor shot and killed a cinematographer with a prop gun on the set of the film “Rust” last week. “FLINT: Who Can You Trust?” was scheduled to open in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 29, followed by screenings in additional selected cities, and finally a Flint debut at the Flint Institute of Arts in mid-November.

If the Babylon Bee had been asked to write a “National Gender Strategy” to be posted on the White House’s website, it wouldn’t look any different than the document the Biden administration actually released last Friday. The “fact sheet” contains every buzzword and policy that you would expect to hear from a progressive activist with a degree in gender studies. The four-page document begins by identifying “gender equity” as a “moral and strategic imperative.” Thanks to COVID-19, “we are at an inflection point,” the statement reads, as the pandemic has “magnified the challenges” that women and girls face — “especially

A leading US conservation group, the Audubon Naturalist Society (ANS), has announced it will change its name, due to the “pain” caused by the 19th-century ornithologist and slaveholder John James Audubon. The group, which holds wildlife sanctuaries across Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland, said that it had become clear its name did not connect to its diverse set of programmes and that some members and volunteers had objected. “The mission and vision of the organisation have not changed,” said Lisa Alexander, executive director of ANS. “The deliberate and thoughtful decision to change our name is part of our ongoing commitment

There can be few better examples of ideologically convinced politicians running head-on into reality than a new California law known in the Legislature as AB 1346. This bill, signed into law in September by Gov. Gavin Newsom, is the personification of today’s faddish hostility to everything fossil fuel by the Democrats who dominate California government. These ideologues want to ban natural gas appliances from new construction. They want new cars to be all-electric before 2040, even if few have the range to travel from one end of California to another without long stops for recharging. And they are getting their

A magnitude 3.6 earthquake rattled Southern California early Sunday, rousing some residents from their sleep but apparently triggering little if any damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck just after 7 a.m. local time, centered less than 2 miles west-southwest of East Los Angeles. The quake was initially reported as 3.9, but the USGS revised the magnitude a short time later. Some less-rollicking aftershocks followed. No damage was immediately reported, and Los Angeles County did not issue a shake alert on its earthquake app. "#Earthquake early warning alerts are sent for events that are measured M4.5," the county

A Northern California family and their dog who were mysteriously found dead in a remote hiking area most likely died from hyperthermia and probable dehydration, authorities said Thursday. The Mariposa County Sheriff's Office previously said the updates on the deaths of John Gerrish, wife Ellen Chung, their 1-year-old daughter Miju, and their dog Oski, an 8-year-old Aussie/akita mix, would be the final investigative update on the case.

NEW YORK — With computer-generated imagery, it seems the sky’s the limit in the magic Hollywood can produce: elaborate dystopian universes. Trips to outer space, for those neither astronauts nor billionaires. Immersive journeys to the future, or back to bygone eras. But as a shocked and saddened industry was reminded this week, many productions still use guns — real guns — when filming. And despite rules and regulations, people can get killed, as happened last week when Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after he was handed a weapon and told it was safe. The tragedy has led some

Which makes sense, since at least so far Biden really doesn’t seem very good at this whole being president thing despite dreaming of and preparing for it for decades. With his staff trying to hide him from the press, and his penchant for saying confusing things, Biden isn’t rhetorically equipped to talk himself out of this mess. He

The cycle worked as follows: The ‘brains’ in Washington contrived a scandal or outrage for that week, often related to the phony Russian Collusion narrative that loomed over Trump’s 4-year term. The figurative rifles were fired resting on the shoulders of shady lawyers, porn stars, dismissed or disgruntled personnel, anonymous ‘insiders’ and ‘leakers’.

Going back to the 2020 presidential campaign, right-leaning media has been well ahead of the curve in asking serious questions about President Joe Biden’s mental health. As his presidential term has aged, things have only gotten worse, with numerous scenes of confusion and anger taking place. Just days ago, the president appeared to forget where he was, having to be saved by his wife (see Jill Biden Steps in to Save a Confused, Meandering Joe Biden). Other examples include Biden seemingly unable to control his anger at times, including with the families of slain soldiers. Past that, odd word salads and bumbling speeches

To great public fanfare, Joe Biden has anointed Rachel Levine a “four-star admiral” in the Public Health Service (PHS). The public relations campaign in support of Levine has emphasized his status as the first transgender four-star “admiral” in the “eight U.S. uniformed services.” That PR campaign is misleading, and it is part of a dangerous effort to undermine the military.(snip) This roll-out and publicity barrage leave little doubt that Levine’s primary qualification for his instant promotion is his transgender status.

Welp, guess who’s in trouble with lawmakers, again? Make that still. Yup, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the emerging and infectious diseases “expert” has been implicated in a series of taxpayer-funded, animal-testing experiments. Beagle puppies, that is. This time, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is demanding answers. According to the White Coat Waste Project (a watch group committed to stopping taxpayer-funded experiments on dogs, monkeys, cats, and other animals), as reported by Daily Caller, 44 beagles were used in the experiments conducted in a Tunisia, North Africa, laboratory. Some of the dogs reportedly had their vocal cords removed, allegedly so scientists could work without incessant barking.

Evil is a very strong word, when used properly. Merriam-Webster defines it many ways, the most relevant to what I’m talking about being “morally reprehensible” and “arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct.” That is the modern left, the “progressive movement,” the “Democratic” Party. And to fight evil, to stop it, is the most important thing anyone can do.What justifies the use of “evil” as a descriptor? It’s a dangerous word to use, one that has been abused throughout history to demonize innocent people as well as condemn the guilty. But there is no other word for what these people are doing, both in tactic and objective.
