Walgreens says locking up products to prevent shoplifting hurts salesWalgreens says locking up products to prevent shoplifting hurts sales

Locking up store merchandise can deter shoplifters and paying customers alike, according to Walgreens.

The pharmacy chain’s CEO Tim Wentworth said in Walgreens Boots Alliance’s first-quarter earnings call Tuesday that “When you lock things up … you don’t sell as many of them. We’ve kind of proven that pretty conclusively.”

Keeping retail products under lock and key is a maneuver designed to thwart rising retail theft. But it also irks — and turns away — would-be paying customers who don’t have the patience to wait for a retail clerk to retrieve goods they wish to buy.

In Her Last Official Act, Yellen Warns US Will Hit Debt Ceiling One Day After Trump Inauguration

Back in the last week of December, when the stock market was desperately trying to reverse the slump of the Santa rally which prevented stocks from closing 2024 at an all time high, we warned that a bigger threat than a modest 1% market drawdown was looming: the countdown to the next debt ceiling crisis. We quoted Democratic operative – and the only US government official who has personally overseen total debt increase by a staggering $15 trillion under her watch at both the Fed and Treasury – Janet Yellen…

11 Things to Do on Inauguration Day That Are Great for Your Mental Health

On Monday, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. For some, it’s a highly anticipated day of celebration. Others have been dreading it—and would happily finagle a deal with the universe to skip to some other day four years down the road instead.

Why so much distress after months of processing the outcome of this divisive election? Many people are probably catastrophizing, experts say, a cognitive distortion that involves fixating on the worst possible outcome and believing it’s bound to happen. The thinking goes like this: “‘Oh my God, if everything is going to have to be that way, and follow that thread, then we’re all going to die,’” says Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director at the University of California at Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.

Dem Massachusetts governor now wants to limit illegals in crime-ridden migrant shelters

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is hardening her approach to the state’s migrant crisis in the face of mounting safety concerns and just days before President-elect Trump is sworn into office.

Healey, a Democrat, is proposing drastic changes to how the state houses migrants by proposing that all families staying in emergency shelters be in the country legally, with rare exceptions. The move would effectively prevent new migrants from staying in state shelters. 

The change, which comes after a review of the state’s right-to-shelter law, would see all shelter applicants be required to show that they are either a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident or are here “under the color of law.” Exceptions are made for households that include children who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

US debt ‘swells’ as deficit hits $1.9T this year, Congress’ budget office predicts

The federal government will spill $1.9 trillion in red ink this year as U.S. spending continues to eclipse cash flowing in from taxes, Capitol Hill’s nonpartisan budget scorekeeper predicted Friday.

Over the next decade, the U.S. national debt — already more than $36 trillion — will break multiple records as it “swells” to 118 percent of the nation’s economic output by 2035, the Congressional Budget Office estimated in its yearly “baseline” projections. Lawmakers use this information as a measure to craft the bills they aim to pass.

Report: Mortgage Rates Surpass 7% For First Time Since May

According to a new report, mortgage rates increased this week, going above 7% ━ adding more pressure to the housing market.

Freddie Mac’s latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released on Thursday, showed that the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage jumped to 7.04%, which is up from last week’s 6.93%. The average rate on a 30-year loan was 6.60% a year ago. 

The latest jump comes after 10-year Treasury yields, which mirror mortgage rates, rose faster. New economic data released this week pointed to an increase in inflation and more job openings, which complicates the Fed’s rate-cutting path.

Dozens kicked out of WNC hotels despite FEMA Jan. 25 extension

Less than a day after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) promised Hurricane Helene victims that they could stay in hotels until Jan. 25, troubling reports came from North Carolina Republican US Sens. Ted Budd and Thom Tillis on X stating that people were being kicked out of their hotel rooms on Tuesday.

“My office is hearing from dozens in WNC who have been kicked out of their hotels tonight, despite FEMA’s announcement yesterday that they were extending Transitional Sheltering Assistance through January 25,” Budd’s post read. “This is unacceptable. This needs to be fixed TONIGHT.”

Chinese Drone Firm DJI Eliminates Automatic No-Fly Zones One Week Before Trump's Inauguration

DJI, the world's largest civilian drone manufacturer and a Chinese-owned company, has reportedly announced it will replace its geofencing system with official Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data for all flight operations in the US. The changes, which took effect on Monday, come just one week before President Trump's inauguration in Washington, D.C, as well as concerns about drones across US cities and hovering near US military installations.

“Pastor Stanley checks in with some humor. The US Treasury can purchase Bitcoin with either dollars or alleged gold held in Ft. Knox, West Point etc. The problem here is that no audit has been performed since the 1950’s. Now I ask you this; if the government has lied to all of us, all of the time and about EVERYTHING, why would gold holdings be the ONLY thing they tell the truth about?

  Which leaves us with the Bitcoin being purchased in “dollars,” either printed or created by credit. Either way it does not matter. Neither has any real value whatsoever. Paying for something real with “nothing” is a cool deal but here it is an even swap, nothing for nothing. The song should have been “currency for nothing,” but that doesn’t sound as cool…”

They Really Do Want To Reduce The Population – 47 Shocking Population Control Quotes From The Global Elite That Will Make You Want To Lose Your Lunch

There is a clear consensus among the global elite that overpopulation is the primary cause of the most important problems that our world is facing today.  Many of them are completely convinced that humans are literally a “plague” upon the Earth and that extreme measures are required to prevent us from destroying the entire planet.  To the elite, everything from global warming to our growing economic problems can be directly traced back to a lack of population control.  They warn that if nothing is done about our exploding population, humanity will be facing a future full of poverty, war and suffering on a filthy, desolate planet.  They complain that it “costs too much” to keep elderly patients that are terminally ill alive, and they eagerly promote “family planning” in developing nations as a way to combat population growth.  Of course just about anything that reduces the human population in any way is a positive thing for those that believe in this philosophy.  This very twisted philosophy is being promoted in our movies, in our television shows, in our music, in countless books, on many of our most prominent websites, and it is being taught at top colleges and universities all over the world.  The people that are promoting this philosophy have very, very deep pockets, and they are actually convinced that they are helping to “save the world” by controlling the growth of the human population.  In fact, many of them truly believe that they are engaged in a “life or death” struggle for the fate of the planet.

EU Has Just Lost Donbass Lithium Mine Meant to Power Bloc’s ‘Green’ Ambitions

The Shevchenko Lithium Ore Field is laden with an estimated 13.8 million tons of lithium ores with a pure lithium oxide content of up to 207,000 tons, according to a 2018 Ukrainian State Geology and Subsoil Service study.

Peanut the Squirrel Meme Coin Surges 20% After Coinbase Listing, Reaches $1.34 Billion Market Cap

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), a meme coin based on the viral squirrel mascot, has gained significant attention after Coinbase announced it would add the token to its listing roadmap. Following this announcement, PNUT’s price surged by 20%, pushing its market cap to $1.34 billion. Within 24 hours, its trading volume reached $1.5 billion, and the price rose to $1.35. This surge was particularly notable because the coin had been struggling to maintain momentum since its peak in November 2023, when it hit an all-time high of $2.44.

“I often post on “The Great Taking” because it is very real and not a speculation at all. The laws are already in place to take your assets from you. They began implementing these laws worldwide back in 2014. When the credit bubble bursts, “everyone will lose everything” is not an outlandish statement.”

How To Survive “The Great Taking” In 2025

David Webb, a former hedge fund manager, and Wall Street insider, has blown the lid off a diabolical plan more than 50 years in the making in a shocking new book.

He calls it The Great Taking.

I consider it an urgent must-read (available for free here).

Here’s the synopsis (emphasis mine):

It is about the taking of collateral (all of it), the end game of the current globally synchronous debt accumulation super cycle.

This scheme is being executed by long-planned, intelligent design, the audacity and scope of which is difficult for the mind to encompass.

DOJ: 200 Jan. 6 cases pending as Trump prepares to retake office

Federal prosecutors are weighing charging as many as 200 more people for their involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — including 60 suspected of assaulting or impeding police officers during the riot that nearly derailed the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

The new figures, released by the Justice Department Monday, reveal for the first time how many cases prosecutors believe are pending as Trump prepares to take office and threatens to unravel the massive four-year probe. About 1,583 people have faced federal charges for their role in the attack — including more than 600 facing felony charges for assaulting or resisting police during the chaos.

In a Six-Week Span, this Dark Pool with a Curious Past Traded 3.7 Billion Shares

There is a precise date as to when the American public became overtly aware that the stock market structure had become outrageously rigged. That date is March 30, 2014 when famed author and former Wall Street veteran, Michael Lewis, went on 60 Minutes to proclaim: “The United States stock market, the most iconic market in global capitalism, is rigged.”

When asked to explain just who it is that’s rigging the stock market, Lewis explained that it’s a “combination of these stock exchanges, the big Wall Street banks and high-frequency traders.”

Soaring gold prices are a bad omen for the dollar

After the global instability which characterised 2024, there is widespread hope that this coming year will provide some much-needed respite from chaos. Investors seem to disagree, though, at least if we look at the asset everyone is talking about this January: gold. The consensus seems to be that gold will be a strong performer in 2025 just as it was in 2024 — which, implicitly, means investors are betting that many more global changes are afoot.

Gold started 2024 at $2046 per ounce. On 1 January this year, it was priced at $2622 — an increase of just over 28%. For context, in that same period the S&P500 index only saw total returns of around 25%. Even in a good year for the stock market, those who parked their money in gold found themselves laughing all the way to the bank.

  • Apple accounts for the majority of foreign mobile phone shipments in China, with major competitors like Samsung forming just a tiny part of the market.
  • The figures highlight the mounting pressure Apple is under in the world’s largest smartphone market as a result of rising competition from domestic brands.

Sales of foreign phone brands in China plunged in November, according to official data released Friday, underscoring further pressure on Apple, the biggest international handset vendor in the country.

40 Percent of Murders in USA Take Place In Soros-Backed Districts

According to a report from the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), 40% of homicides in the US take place in districts with a Soros-funded prosector.

As Pamela Geller states, Biden should have given him jail time instead of giving George Soros the Medal of Freedom.

Geller cites an article by Paul Schnee, in which he states, “What’s next? Is Biden going to posthumously award the Medal of Freedom to Benedict Arnold?”

“The amount of serious damage Soros has done to America is incalculable. His lifetime of public mischief has been spent wearing the mask of compassion to undo our civilized order by subverting all of our institutions particularly academia and undermining law & order by financing D.A.s whose main interest is in protecting criminals at the expense of justice for their victims. The man is a traitor, but BLM and Antifa love him.”
