Could Zohran Mamdani’s City-Owned Grocery Stores Survive New York City’s Shoplifting Plague?   An annual survey of chain stores in New York has documented the closing of hundreds of locations since 2020. Every one of the 13 largest chains in the city has fewer outlets today than it did in 2019. Collectively, these operators have shuttered a shocking 797 stores in New York. Essential retailers like drug stores and supermarkets have been disappearing. Rite Aid, whose top retailing executive told analysts in 2022 that it was almost impossible to stop retail theft in New York City, has closed 73 stores. Walgreens and Duane Reade have shuttered another 128 locations. Executives blamed not only losses from theft but also sharply declining sales, thanks to security efforts like removing all merchandise from shelves and locking it in cases. Key Food, a small supermarket chain, has closed 18 stores. The city also has 45 fewer 7-Eleven outlets. Discount chains Family Dollar and Dollar General have shut 20 stores.

Those 'Hard-Working, Law-Abiding' Illegals Who Steal Identities of Americans and Ruin Their Lives  The narrative being pushed by the left about illegal aliens is that they're just "hard-working, law-abiding" people with families to support who only want what American citizens want.

   The reality is far different. Most illegal aliens are able to get jobs in the United States using stolen identification. 

   This is not a "victimless crime." People's lives are turned upside down and sometimes permanently ruined by having their Social Security numbers stolen.

‘Research’ On Abortion, Birth Control, And Breast Cancer Is Just As Corrupt As Trans Treatments  The fact remains that millions of American women take some form or birth control, and over one million abortions are performed per year, according to 2023 data from the Guttmacher Institute — the research wing of abortion giant Planned Parenthood — 63 percent of which were obtained through the abortion pill.

    All of them are more susceptible to breast cancer than they normally would be.

   Just like HHS did with the transgender lies, it is time for them to take to task the cover-up behind breast cancer risk and its connection to abortion and contraception. Image
