I always try to keep up with the news. These days they’re many different, seemingly unrelated, stories that should be on the front pages of our news media, but are not. Most of us with a functioning brain understand that our liberal media does not like to draw attention to news stories that might put Joe Biden in a bad light.
Ergo, Biden’s floundering economy and Biden’s inflation are not front page stories, despite the fact that these are the major everyday issues for the vast majority of us. Burying these issues on page seven does not make the struggling economy and inflation any less important, just less visible to the suffering common man who just doesn’t understand the reason why gas is now costing him way over five dollars a gallon here in California.
In August while the unemployment rate unexpectedly jumped, a sign the labor market is finally cooling in the face of rising interest rates and chronic inflation.
Speaking of other things which are now costing more, is there anyone who doesn’t understand that organized retail crime (ORC) is effecting the profits of a multitude of companies, including Target, Dollar Tree, Foot Locker, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Nordstrom, and others. This is obviously a major news story, as is Biden’s porous border, but until today, I did not connect these two issues.
From I&I:
“Turns out that, by throwing open the southern border, President Joe Biden has created a booming business for Mexican cartels ripping off U.S. retailers – although you’d never know it based on the media blackout of this trend.
Just last week, 50 criminals swarmed a Los Angeles mall and made off with $300,000 worth of stolen goods. A news report suggests that they were following orders from organized crime or gang members.
Why the sudden explosion in organized retail crime? When it covers this issue at all, the mainstream press usually just throws up its hands, or says retailers are exaggerating the problem.
But could it have anything to do with the fact that Biden opened the border and let millions of illegal immigrants flood into the country?
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sees a connection. In a statement released last June, it said: ‘Recent investigations have also identified organized retail crime schemes exploiting undocumented migrants forced to steal goods to pay back ‘coyotes’ who smuggle them across international borders.’”
So, even though I cannot recall the last time I shopped at Nordstrom’s, when our local Nordstrom’s is forced to close because of ORC, I will think of that empty building as a testimonial to the policies of Joe Biden!
