Just bad luck, I guess. What else could explain it?

San Francisco hardware store owned by same family since 1955 has lost staggering $700,000 in a single year to ‘organized shoplifting.’

    • Dale Hardware’s owner Kyle Smith described the helpless situation in Fremont
    • Surveillance footage from various days last year show a number of people brazenly walking out of the store holding stolen tools
    • The thefts come as the Bay Area and rest of US deal with a spike in thefts – totaling nearly $100 billion in losses  

A comprehensive, multi-disciplinary national failure…

The National Scandal That Is Too Big To Break

“…there are three main entities involved in taking down a politician over a corruption scandal. First, there is the media, which broadcasts the details of the scandal, eroding public support. Second, there is law enforcement, which investigates and, if necessary, presses criminal charges. Third, there is the party establishment, which ultimately abandons the politician as a matter of self-preservation, signaling that it’s “game over.”

But what happens when a scandal is so big that the people responsible for breaking it are implicated in it as well?

That is the situation which now faces the mainstream media, the federal intelligence bureaucracy, and the Democrat Party. For years, they have all parroted Biden’s lies and created an echo chamber of denial about wrongdoing by the president and his family. Now, with it all beginning to crumple around them, they’re seeing that the downfall of the president spells the end of their own reputations and careers as well.

Motivated by self-preservation and in a desperate effort to sustain Biden politically, then, they are doubling down on their complicity in Biden’s wrongdoing by continuing to try to cover it up. As House Republicans investigating the matter have released one bombshell report after another, the liberal media have simply refused to report it, while top intelligence officials have denied any responsibility and Democrat leaders have claimed the whole thing is a farce.

But in recent weeks, new shocking allegations have made this strategy increasingly untenable…”

‘Total Clown Show’: CNN Buries Devon Archer, Hunter Biden Revelations

Garbage.

Garbage media self identifies as Democrat Party media…

Biden knows garbage media will cover for him. And he thinks you are stupid.

Biden Gaslights Americans With Fake ‘Manufacturing Boom’ As US Production Plunges

“…Biden appears to be basing his assertions on one stat in particular, factory construction. And yes, if you look at that stat alone then it might seem like domestic manufacturing is experiencing new life. But, where are these new factories coming from?

The majority are government subsidized green tech factories as part of Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act.” Meaning, they are jobs created using your tax dollars through socialist programs, not free market demand. Not only that, but a number of these factories are being built by foreign companies, not American companies. For example, JA Solar, a Chinese company, plans to build factories in Arizona while benefiting from Biden’s subsidies. Meyer Burger Technology, a company out of Switzerland, is also building solar factories in Arizona.

And what happens when the government props up an industry without equal market demand? What happens when a manufacturing “boom” siphons American cash to foreign interests? It ends up destroying wealth, not creating wealth. In other words, Biden is using billions in taxes to falsify economic numbers in the short term as a means to get re-elected…”

Get off the bridge…

The real danger for Mr. Biden in the 2024 debates is if the Republican candidate asks him the obvious: “Mr. President, we have learned since 2020 that almost everything you claimed about your son’s business overseas the last time you were on this debate stage was untrue. Why should the American people believe anything you say now?”

Devon Archer Throws a Curve

“…Joe Biden’s denials about Hunter and his laptop are now disproven. What will he say in the 2024 presidential debates?…”

The net result of cynical identity politics. Identities turn on each other in battle for primacy…

Democrats and garbage media twist into pretzels to find an explanation for Biden criminal activity. Illusion indeed…

Biden Spoke With Son’s Associates, but Not About Business, Former Partner Says

Hacks and Henchmen: ‘Disinformation’ Means You’re Over the Target

“…Judge Terry A. Doughty shocked Americans with his July 4th restraining order against Biden’s digital team which was supposed to be fighting “disinformation” but was in reality just banning views online it didn’t like.

Doughty’s opinion is a jaw dropping expose of how White House staff bullied Facebook, Twitter and other platforms to remove content about election fraud, COVID concerns and other matters of public interest in blatant violation of the First Amendment.  Governmental actors cannot demand that others do what they cannot under the Constitution, just as you can’t have proxies break the law for you. Yet that’s exactly what Biden officials did and that’s exactly what Judge Doughty stopped.

Curiously, Doughty’s order was stayed by the Fifth Circuit pending appeal. The case has been fast-tracked, however, given its serious nature, and an appellate decision is expected this fall.

Regardless of the outcome, White House staff either don’t know they are governed by the First Amendment (unlikely) or don’t care (likely). Their conduct also shows that COVID was almost certainly a fraud as were the measures imposed in its name, which were not only unwarranted but also anti-health and anti-medicine…”

Supreme Court Justice Jackson’s second error reveals another industry gone woke

“…The AAMC brief refers to four studies in support of this claim. Yet none of them examine whether Black doctors are better at treating the pain of Black patients. All four document Black patients’ problems with pain management, but crucially, not one examines the efficacy of doctors of different races. The AAMC either failed to read the research or deliberately created this claim out of whole cloth…”

Garbage and fakery in a Supreme Court analysis. Fifteen years ago I would not have believed it. Instead of choosing highly qualified exceptional judges, Democrats choose based on nonsense and the results are terrible.

Justice Jackson Accused of Second False Claim in Affirmative Action Dissent

“…In her prior error, Jackson claimed that affirmative action has been shown to “save lives” by allowing black doctors to give better care for black people than white doctors.

“It saves lives. For marginalized communities in North Carolina, it is critically important that UNC and other area institutions produce highly educated professionals of color. Research shows that Black physicians are more likely to accurately assess Black patients’ pain tolerance and treat them accordingly (including, for example, prescribing them appropriate amounts of pain medication). For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live, and not die.”

Experts immediately objected that the claim was wildly off base. AAMC later asked the Court to correct the claim, though many objected that it still did not fully address the scope of the false claim. Ted Frank who previously noted that the study itself was flawed in relying on a linear regression given the small group analysis. He responded to the correction on Twitter by noting:

“The particular specification the authors and AAMC highlight fails to account for the fact that black doctors are much less likely to be neonatologists, who get the higher risk cases. The number is much smaller when there’s a partial attempt to control for this. And, as the op-ed noted, the logit model hidden in the back of the appendix found that black doctors had a higher mortality rate overall. The study is not grounds for racial discrimination, and the paper doesn’t dare to claim that skin color saves lives.”

I will leave these details to those with a better statistical handle on these studies. However, even after AAMC corrected or “clarified” its error, the media is still citing the original claim…”

The logical end stage of Woke and CRT. Watch, it is happening now in South Africa.
