Target, Home Depot, and other retailers announced last week that they are taking big hits to their profits because of double-digit increases in theft nationwide. That’s after hiking prices on consumers. When the guy next to you loads a bag with whatever merchandise isn’t locked up and walks out without paying, keep in mind that you’re paying for his stolen stuff. Stores are fleeing San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Portland, cities that soft-on-crime mayors and district attorneys have made into shoplifter’s paradises. Downtown San Francisco is slated to lose Nordstrom and Saks OFF 5TH. Anthropologie and Whole Foods have already fled. That means lost jobs and sales tax revenue, empty storefronts, and decay. What’s a city without stores?

Alvin Lui: How Schools Are Weaponizing ‘Inclusion,’ Empathy, and ’Social Emotional Learning’ to Indoctrinate Children- Epoch Times
“My great grandfather ran from communism. The people that dragged him out of his little bakery shop and beat him weren’t soldiers. They were college kids—the Red Guard. And I see that that’s what they’re creating now with a lot of these kids.” After watching the destructive impact that progressive policies were having in California, Alvin Lui packed up and relocated to the Midwest. But in Indiana, he saw the same ideology taking hold. “So I realized that if I didn’t try to at least do something … that I can’t complain. And I have nothing to complain about because I grew up in the time where I might be able to do something about it, even if it’s just a couple of parents at a time,” says Lui. [This post contains the transcript to a 43-minute interview; and the link to that interview at Epoch Times TV]
California Mom Reclaims Young Daughter From Clutches of Trans Agenda in Middle School—Here’s How – Epoch Times
California mom Erin Friday, 56, …her then 11-year-old daughter. It started innocently enough: just a few boyish-sounding nicknames …But innocent it was not. A few girls, including Friday’s young one, were heard chattering in the front yard about some new things they learned at school…. “Five girls, each one of them picked a label that was on the alphabet, and they actually kind of giggled at me and said, ‘You’re cis, and you don’t understand,’” Friday told The Epoch Times. “I had never heard the term ‘cis’ before, and then they said, ‘Okay boomer.’” …Friday’s once-girly daughter—a huge “My Little Pony” fan—started draping herself in baggy sweatshirts…. But as the “My Little Pony” fan crossed into “soldier girl” territory, lacing up combat boots; as long-haired female friends started assuming guys’ names; as the purple and green hair dye broke out, mom’s worry worsened. So, this curious culture began bearing its strange and noxious fruit. It became cool to have a label. As one girl identified as pansexual, another called herself polyamorous (open to multiple partners), nonsensically. “Half her Girl Scout troupe came out as transgender,” Friday said. Out came the breast binders. Girly voices suspiciously dropped low overnight. “My daughter picked ‘pansexual,’ she was 11….

Coming to a Street Corner Near You: Youth Arrested for Handing Out Bibles – The New American
Within four minutes of participating in a rally in Calgary, Canada, supporting a student’s defiance of the woke agenda being promoted in his high school, Josh Alexander was arrested. His alleged crime? Handing out Bibles to the student participants. The real reason? Josh Alexander, for whom the rally was named (the “I Stand with Josh Alexander” International Walkout Protest), has a history of defying the authorities in the name of Jesus Christ. …Kicking Josh out of school for expressing his Christian beliefs regarding sexuality and gender is unlawful religious discrimination.
The application details the shockingly discriminatory conduct of teachers and students at St. Joseph’s, as well as Principal [Derek] Lennox’s retaliatory decisions to suspend and exclude Josh for expressing his beliefs and organizing a student walk-out to protest St. Joseph’s policy of permitting biological males to enter and use the girls’ washrooms.
Behind the Deep State | FBI Exposed as Deep State Tentacle: Will There be Justice? – Alex Newman
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been officially exposed as a dangerous tentacle of the Deep State to take down those who oppose the establishment and protect its criminal members such as the Biden family from prosecution and accountability, explains The New American magazine’s Alex Newman in this episode of Behind The Deep State. The House Oversight Committee revealed documents proving that members of the Biden family raked in millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and yet the FBI and DOJ have done nothing except protect them. Meanwhile, Special Counsel John Durham exposed flagrant criminal conspiracy in the FBI and intelligence agencies against the Trump administration and even the elected president of the United States, and yet no criminal charges were recommended. The truth about Deep State weaponization of federal law enforcement against America is now out… the question now is what, if anything, will be done about it?

The Unseen Crisis is a feature-length documentary that provides an intimate, uncensored look into the lives of those who live with the debilitating after-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. It examines the issue of COVID-19 vaccine injury claims in a fresh, honest, and comprehensive manner with expert interviews, whistleblowers’ statements, and government health statistics. This is a documentary about people, not politics. The patients in the documentary suffered severe reactions to the shot and their health spiraled out of control. When they reached out to the public health system and pharmaceutical companies for help and support, instead of being acknowledged, cared for, and studied; they were ignored, censored, and called “anti-vaxxers” despite having gotten the shot.
Babylon – What Most Christians Don’t Know
This post used an Answers in Genesis video: In discussing Babylon as it is revealed in scripture, he talked about the term Babylon also being a metaphor for the godless systems of mankind that reveal his pride and rebellion against God. These anti-God systems of power are shameless and corrupting; they applaud debauchery, mock virtue, cancel truth… and are obsessed with power. …As the following 10-minute excerpt begins, he is talking about mankind’s rebellion at Babel and showing parallels with the pride and rebellion of our own day….
