Shoppers struggling to find items that
aren’t locked up as shoplifting takes
a toll on more than just stores

The response from major retailers to pick up the slack in combatting shoplifting resulting from progressive politics left customers fed up and demanding things be returned to “the way it used to be.” “It’s a struggle. It makes your day longer.” Videos of shoplifters raiding stores and hauling off trash bags filled with merchandise have become increasingly more commonplace and even led to some companies shutting down business locations altogether. For those seeking to ride out the spiking crime rates in leftist havens, law-abiding customers have felt the brunt of policies meant to protect their bottom line.

The alternative is to close the store. Take your pick. Maybe reconsidering who (and what) you're voting for might make a difference.

At some point, won't be allowed in the store at all. Just place an order, pay for it, and the goods will be passed through a slot in the door.

Want to stop shoplifters? Make it a mandatory 10 years in jail if caught with no exceptions.

It's not up to the Retailer to change the way they do Business. It's up to the people who live in that City to quit electing Democrats. When will they figure that out? As long as they have a Democrat Administration who refuses to charge the Shoplifters, put them in Jail and keep them there for a long time, nothing will change. So, quit whining about wanting things "the way they used to be". YOU elected the very people who are now making your life miserable! DO something about it!

I have seen old photographs of New York that shows shopkeepers setting their products out in front of the store on nice days. The sidewalks were packed with well-dressed citizens going about their day. Today the streets are dirty, dangerous, and devoid of friendly interaction.

Easy fix. It is not the products on the store shelves that need to be locked up.

I feel the pain. We just elected our third-in-a-row Democrat mayor. Our council is mostly black. We had a great candidate, but he wasn't as sophisticated and cosmopolitan as the most recent Democrat. The really great candidate understood that you lock up criminals no matter what color they might be. Now...crime is up; shootings are up; and Louisville sinks lower. Amazon Prime grows larger. It's the new way.

Call and beach. I did that when Walmart locked up razor blades. I got a call apologizing for 'any inconvenience'. Ring them off the hook. Arrest shoplifters.

I remember going to the grocery store with my grandmother over 70 years ago. She would walk up to the counter, tell the person behind it what she wanted, that person would go get it. Are we going back to that?

Self service may have to go out of style, at least for awhile. As just about anything that's being kept on unlocked shelves is being depleted by indiscriminate shoplifters.

If the items were not locked up, they likely would not be there for anyone to purchase. But crime is not a problem. The liberals said so. If you disagree, you are a racist.

You’re going to LOVE your new equity-based community housing. Earlier today, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a new plan to house the millions of illegal aliens flooding into the country who are being sent to sanctuary city New York. Adams said regular New Yorkers should house the busloads of illegal aliens arriving in The City. Adams said he wants to house the illegals in private residences. Adams told New Yorkers, “It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence.” It’s the right thing to do.

Rochelle Walensky’s reign of terror is over at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but a new war is about to begin. First, congressional Republicans should do all they can to derail this nomination. Mandy Cohen is the person slated to replace Walensky and, given her background, could become a key piece in the Left’s crusade to erode Second Amendment rights. Cohen co-founded Doctors for Obama, which Chuck Ross of the Washington Free Beacon noted espoused anti-police and anti-Second Amendment policy positions.

This week, the Federal Aviation Administration signed off on plans to open an emergency relief shelter for illegal immigrants in an old postal warehouse at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. According to the New York Post, the FAA signed off on the Port Authority plans to open the shelter after local and state officials searched the city and surrounding areas for new places to house illegal immigrants coming from the southern border. According to the outlet, the area has seen more than 70,000 people arrive from South and Central America.

At some point in many people’s working lives, they hold jobs at which they must wear a uniform. I’ve had several such jobs over the years. Technically, I had a “uniform” as a fire warden. but that was nothing more than a dress shirt with some patches on the shoulder and a name badge. If I had to wear it for some reason, I usually paired it with my best pair of Nomex® pants that didn’t have any fire damage. But the kind of uniform I’m talking about is the shirt and pants someone must wear to work at a fast food chain, a copy shop, a delivery company, etc.

Ron DeSantis continues to trigger all the right people, and his latest conquest was Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL). While attending a Paramore concert in Washington, DC, Frost was called up on stage, at which point he launched into a profanity-filled tirade against the 2024 presidential candidate. In the video, shot by someone in the audience, slow ballad-style music plays as the band’s leader singer promotes Frost as “the first Gen Z congressman” before inviting him up. He then bounces around the stage, soaking up the spotlight for a minute before being asked if there’s anything he would like to say.

From the moment Joe Biden first stepped inside the Oval Office as president, the crises began: from the Biden Border Crisis, Biden Energy Crisis, Biden Inflation Crisis, Biden Economy Crisis, Biden’s Afghanistan Debacle, and even falling on stage, nothing is ever this president’s fault. Nothing. The question: Why? We’ll get there. Harry S Truman, America’s 33rd president, famously displayed a simple, four-word plaque on his desk: “The Buck Stops Here.” Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., our 46th president, might as well have a different plaque on his desk: “The Buck Stops Everywhere But Here.” Again, the question is why. Why is Joe Biden seemingly incapable of accepting responsibility for his own actions,

Dozens of transgender people who live in Florida have turned to crowdfunding appeals in an effort to move out of the state, ABC News reported Friday. Reportedly, the transgender people who are trying to leave the state of Florida are doing so because of a slew of “anti-LGBTQ+” laws that have been passed in recent years. Sage Chelf, a 30-year-old “trans woman,” told the outlet that the clinic that prescribed “her” hormone therapy was ending all treatments for patients who identify as transgender. “I don’t want to go back to the person that I was forced to be at the time,” Chelf told the outlet.

An Arkansas thug who tried to victimize an out-of-town family during their Memorial Day visit to Little Rock got more than he bargained for when an armed mom reacted to being attacked in a parking garage by fighting back, with the pregnant mom pulling a gun and shooting the attacker. The incident went down at a River Market public garage when the family was packing up after spending the day celebrating the birthday of a seven-year-old girl. They were confronted by the criminal who assaulted them, striking the father several times as he was loading a wagon onto the top of the vehicle.

Several thousand illegal migrants protested in Florida’s streets against Gov. Ron DeSantis’s state law that may shrink illegal immigration to the state. The strikers’ hope for a massive, economy-jarring, state-wide “walkout” failed because the hard-working, wage-cutting illegal aliens are not critical to any section of the U.S. economy, except the fruit-growing sector. Perhaps 10,000 illegal aliens — including many family members — turned out for the June 1 “Day Without Immigrants” protest. Most of the turnout took place in the Immokalee agriculture district where farmers prefer cheap and disposable workers over U.S-built, labor-saving harvesting machines. Many of the illegal migrants waived their home-country flags: [video] Some businesses supported the protest,

ANKENY, Iowa— Former Vice President Mike Pence opened his bid for the Republican nomination for president Wednesday with a firm denunciation of former President Donald Trump, accusing his two-time running mate of abandoning conservative principles and being guilty of dereliction of duty on Jan. 6, 2021. Pence, launching his campaign in a suburb of Des Moines, became the first vice president in modern history to challenge the president under whom he served. He said Trump had disqualified himself when he insisted that Pence had the power to keep him in office — even though he did not. Trump, he said, “endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol”

When Trump burst on the political scene, his smashmouth style was, shall we say, off-putting. Dan Bongino, also from Queens, told us this was just the normal style of speech in that area. And many of us voted for the Donald, knowing that the alternative was simply intolerable. We weren’t sure what he would do, but his opponent was guaranteed to do bad things. For four years, in the face of relentless false attacks, Donald Trump got things done. Lots of things. But he didn’t drain the swamp.
