As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, Kroger is closing a number of supermarkets in Washington state due to crime, mostly shoplifting.

It’s a well known fact that grocery stores operate on an extremely slim profit margin, so even a small amount of theft can have a devastating effect on a company’s bottom line.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington clearly does not understand this, or is simply trying to spin the issue for the benefit of her fans on the left, because instead of recognizing that her party’s lax approach to crime is responsible, she is blaming corporate greed.

This is right out of the Bernie Sanders playbook. See below:

This is yet another example of corporations putting their shareholders and profits ahead of their workers and customers.https://t.co/lieUJ8mXU4 pic.twitter.com/LeMqJIMTxh

Perhaps if the liberal leaders in Washington prosecuted thieves, these closures would not be happening. Also, Jayapal doesn’t seem to understand that Kroger has an obligation to its shareholders.

People responded to her on Twitter/X:

Democrats treat theft like a joke and Seattle has a minimum wage of over $20 per hour. Now, you’re acting like they’re wronging you by closing up stores your policies made unprofitable? Why don’t you liberals ever blame yourselves for the consequences of your policies?

Maybe if these cities would arrest and convict shoplifters, they wouldn’t close. Crime is bad for business

It’s never the problems caused by Democrats who are ruining the city though, is it? You are so completely out-of-touch with REALITY. Why do you hate Americans so much?

Putting their shareholders first is called “doing their fiduciary duty” and they are legally obligated to do it.

If you don’t want stores to close, stop creating an environment in which businesses cannot thrive. https://t.co/3CAdqbshcT

Crime ruins communities. What is it about the left that they cannot understand this basic concept?

Winsome Earle-Sears is the current Lt. Governor of Virginia and the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia in the upcoming election.

Sears opposes the idea of boys in girls’ locker rooms and all of the other gender related nonsense that has been embraced by the left in recent years.

During a political event this week, a liberal white woman held up a sign in protest of Sears that must be seen to be believed.

The sign reads:

Hey Winsome
If Trans Can’t Share
Your Bathroom
Then Blacks Can’t Share
My Water Fountain

Take a look:

Old white liberals in Virginia are holding up big signs in front of the black Lt. Governor saying she can’t “drink at their water fountain.”

Incredible how fast libs go back to their racist factory settings when pushed.

Vile. One of the reasons the Left is obsessed with race is their virulent racism. So much of what they say is pure projection. https://t.co/e7HWM8g1Mn

A white liberal woman just held up a sign saying “if trans can’t share your bathroom then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”

The sign is addressed to Winsome Sears, a black woman running for Virginia Governor who opposes letting boys in girls’ bathrooms.

The issue here is that leftwingers think it’s perfectly ok for them to say this stuff because they are liberal and they “care.”

But really, they’re just garbage people. And they can’t hide it anymore. https://t.co/NognXrKF86

Someone finally tipped her off that the sign has been noticed by A LOT of people. Watch:

Where are the Democrats to denounce this? Where is Sears’ Democrat opponent Abigail Spanberger? Does she condone this?

On Thursday evening, US District Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, barred the Trump Administration from bringing new illegal alien detainees to Alligator Alcatraz. She also ordered the facility to be dismantled within 60 days.

Alligator Alcatraz is a detention center for illegal aliens, many of whom are rapists, murderers, and designated foreign terrorists.

The facility, which opened last month at the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis, is surrounded by Florida’s natural defenses, including alligators, pythons, and dense swampland in the Florida Everglades.

Earlier this month Judge Williams cited environmental violations for her two-week pause on future construction.

“The facility can continue to operate and hold detainees for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but workers will be barred from adding any new filling, paving or infrastructure for the next 14 days. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams issued the ruling during a hearing and said she will issue a written order later Thursday,” The Associated Press reported.

On Thursday, Judge Williams issued a preliminary injunction barring the Trump Administration from bringing new illegal aliens to Alligator Alcatraz and ordered the facility to be dismantled.

“The Court ENTERS a Preliminary Injunction prohibiting the State and Federal Defendants and their officers, agents, employees, attorneys, and any person who is in active concert or participation with them from (1) installing any additional industrial-style lighting (described by witnesses as “Sunbelt” lighting); or doing any paving, filling, excavating, or fencing; or doing any other site expansion, including placing or erecting any additional buildings, tents, dormitories, or other residential or administrative facilities on the TNT site; and (2) bringing any additional persons onto the TNT site who were not already being detained at the site at the time of this Order going into effect,” the judge wrote in an 82-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

The Judge said the facility must be dismantled within 60 days.

“No later than sixty (60) days from the date of this order, and once the population attrition allows for safe implementation of this Order,40 the Defendants shall remove 1) the temporary fencing installed by Defendants to allow Tribe members access to the site consistent with the access they enjoyed before the erection of the detention camp; 2) the Sunbelt lighting fixtures and any additional lighting installed for the use of the property as a detention facility; and 3) all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this project,” the judge wrote.

Earlier this month Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to the Obama judge’s order.

“Operations at Alligator Alcatraz are ongoing and deportations are continuing,” DeSantis said.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a New York Appeals Court threw out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Trump on Thursday in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s case.

Trump: We’re having a lot of victories. I had a victory today, you know. They stole $550 million from me with a fake case, and it was overturned. They said this was a fake case. It’s a terrible thing, but that’s a nice victory, you know? I mean, it’s not bad, you know, we all have our limits, but this was a terrible thing they’ve done. It was a witch hunt. And I’ve had more witch hunts than any human being, I think, in history. And here we are, we’re the President of the United States. So, it didn’t work out too well for them, but maybe now it’s turned a little bit.

These are very dishonest people. We have to fight, and we have to win because we have to win. And you people are winners. And I just think it’s really it’s such an honor to be with you. And we’re going to make Washington DC great again. We’re making our country great again. The country is very close to being great. When they say it’s the hottest country in the world, they mean it, and this capital is right now, after four days, five days, it’s at a level that you haven’t seen in a long time, and it’s all because of you. So, I want to thank you all very much. It’s an honor to be with you, and we’ll always be with you. We’re going to be with you for as long as I’m around. You’re going to be treated like there’s nobody more important. And thank you all very much for being here.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Letitia James responded on Thursday by lashing out at Trump and saying she plans to appeal the decision.

Every employer that knowingly hires illegal aliens should be punished for their part in the destruction of our country.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

The Trump Administration has dropped the hammer on a reckless California trucking company that knowingly hired an illegal alien truck driver who went on to cause a deadly crash in Florida last week that claimed the lives of three innocent Americans.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that an illegal alien, who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California, killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway this week.

The driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, was arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after he made an insane U-turn directly in front of a car to his left on Florida’s Turnpike.

The illegal alien showed zero emotion after he exited the 18-wheeler and examined what was left of the vehicle, a pile of mangled metal and three dead bodies.

They take good paying jobs away from Americans and give them to illegals. More importantly, employers that enable dangerous illegal aliens to get behind the wheel of 18-wheelers weighing as much as 80,000lbs or more are endangering the lives of everyone on America’s roads.

Our friends and family members should not have their lives placed at risk every time they want to go visit a friend or pick up groceries.

In addition to the deportation of the illegals, there must be consequences for those who continue to enable them.
