Chicago Mayor Johnson is an advocate of looting. Mass looting. He defends and excuses criminal organized theft as “an outbreak of incredible frustration and anguish” caused by “a failed racist system.” In short, tantrums in the form of mob violence and theft are to be expected. As one overloaded looter shouted to a news crew, "This is reparations!"
Highly organized gangs apparently think it's morally virtuous to steal from large retailers. They are developing extremely sophisticated plans for how to rapidly pillage and plunder major retailers. The best of these plans clean out a retailer in just minutes from invasion to retreat. The stolen goods are then resold online or in the streets, and the total losses are huge and growing, largely because the thieves are praised by virtue-signalers, and ignored by police and judges. Losses to honest businesses? Staggering...and growing.
TARGET reported $763 million in theft loss last fiscal year. They estimate this year's loss to be $1.2 billion. That's only one chain.
Walmart decided to shut 17 of its stores across nine states after CEO Doug McMillon warned in December that theft was the highest it’s ever been around the country and if it did not slow down, stores would have to close.
So far, more than 2,600 businesses have left downtown Portland. An 83-year-old Vietnam veteran felt safer walking the streets of pagan Saigon than he does walking the streets of Christian Portland.
Or maybe Portland is no longer Christian, because Portland no longer hears ethical truth from Christian churches, like, "thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not kill."
“No man in battle is really sane. The mindset of the soldier on the battlefield is a highly disturbed mind, and this is an epidemic of insanity which affects everybody there—and those not afflicted by it die very quickly.”

Lesson: Avoid kinetic warfare.

A college professor grades 95 student essays. Then writes this:
"Miraculously, in the last year, mistakes of spelling and grammar have mostly disappeared—poof!—revealing sparkling error-free prose, even from students who speak English as a second or third language. The writing is getting better.
"The ideas are getting worse.
"There’s a new genre of essay that other academics reading this will instantly recognize, a clumsy collaboration between students and Silicon Valley. I call it glittering sludge.
"At the same time, in a totally unrelated development, some students have adopted a bold academic strategy: citing books and articles that do not exist.
"(In one particularly amusing example, a student cited me in an essay, drawing from my book, Fluke. The only problem: the alleged author of the cited text in the bibliography was not listed as Brian Klaas, but one “Benjamin Fluke.” Right title, wrong author, wrong publisher, wrong year. Well played, ChatGPT).
"The death ...
Whoa, I can’t believe I didn’t see this before. Secretary Kennedy can singlehandedly remove liability protection for vaccines. Here’s how:
If Secretary Kennedy declares that there's no PREP Act public health emergency (there obviously isn’t) then Covid shots would no longer have liability protection. If he gets rid of the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule, then no childhood shots have liability protection under the 1986 Act.
It's literally just two signatures, that are within his power as HHS Secretary, and this entire national nightmare goes away. He doesn't even have to ban any shots — just let the class action lawsuits do their work. It’s a two-foot putt. THAT'S why Pharma is freaking out.
