I like the "work" that a lot of the Hollyweird libtards do in terms of entertainment, but they can keep their Socialist/Marxist/Communist views to themselves. All that they accomplish by being loud mouths is to lose fans and cost production companies money because people won;t watch them.

On the Christian scene, over the past many years, it has been preached, why would anyone get marital advise from Hollywood with one of the worse Marital records of most industries. Before anyone says it, yes there are some actors with long term marriages, but only a few and most of them are not in the spotlight (opinionated) like the others.

uncertain about when this video was taken, but it does not bode well...

Looting on the Rise, San Francisco Walgreens Forced To Close As Daily Raids of Thieves Strip Shelves

After months of seeing its shelves repeatedly cleaned out by brazen shoplifters, the Walgreens at Van Ness and Eddy in San Francisco is getting ready to close.

“The last day is Nov. 11,” Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso said.

The drugstore, which serves many older people who live in the Opera Plaza area, is the seventh Walgreens to close in the city since 2019.

“All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters, ” said longtime customer Sebastian Luke, who lives a block away and is a frequent customer who has been posting photos of the thefts for months. The other day, Luke photographed a man casually clearing a couple of shelves and placing the goods into a backpack.

“I feel sorry for the clerks, they are regularly being verbally assaulted,” Luke said. “The clerks say there is nothing they can do. They say Walgreens’ policy is to not get involved. They don’t want anyone getting injured or getting sued, so the guys just keep coming in and taking whatever they want.”

For security reasons, Walgreens declined to provide details on their security policies, but Caruso did say that “the safety of our team members and customers is our top concern.”

A recent trip to the store revealed aisle after aisle of empty or near-empty shelves. Beauty supplies appear to be a favored target.

Most of the remaining products were locked behind plastic theft guards, which have become increasingly common at drugstores in recent years.

But at Van Ness Avenue and Eddy Street, even the jugs of clothing detergent on display were looped with locked anti-theft cables.

When a clerk was asked where all the goods had gone, he said, “Go ask the people in the alleys, they have it all.”

Homeless encampments are common in the neighborhood, including two just across Eddy Street.

No sooner had the clerk spoken than a man wearing a virus mask walked in, emptied two shelves of snacks into a bag, then headed back for the door.

As he walked past the checkout line, a customer called out, “Sure you don’t want a drink with that?”

Just across busy Van Ness and down a block, a competing CVS pharmacy was fully stocked.

The difference? The CVS had a security guard at the door.


“Up there, they are closer to the Tenderloin. It’s the Wild West,” said a CVS clerk who was standing with the security guard.

The democrats claim that President Trump and the rest of the domestic terrorists known as republicans are divisive. Hmmm.

Calling the republicans in the senate and by extension all republicans domestic terrorists
Nancy Pelosi ripping up her copy of the President’s speech about the state of the nation
Democrats walking out tonight after casting a no vote for now Justice Barrett

I could go on...

Just wait and see what happens when Trump wins his second term...This is exactly what Trump has been saying about DemoCrack ran states/cities...If I were a business owner in one of those cities/states I would make sure my Business Insurance is up to date.

How many here have spouses who are having almost mini meltdowns over this election?

My wife, who has never been really political, is really stressing over this election, to the point that I find myself bolstering her spirits if our party doesn’t win. Nearly every day I tell her no matter what, we will survive.

She wants us to buy property and build a house off grid and plant a fairly large garden. I’m all for this but not because if Biden Harris wins.

So my wife is one of those very calm, no worries, very little stress, trust in the Lord type, of who I wish I was more like. Since I have been on this Thread and sharing some with her, I have to say, she is still the calm, no worry, trust in the Lord type. :) Hahaha HOW DOES SHE DO IT??? I guess trust in the Lord is the key...Duh, so hard at times for me to give up my keys :), we can only do our part and let God do the rest.
