U.S. discount retail chain Big Lots filed for bankruptcy Monday as Biden-Harris era inflation continues to weaken consumer spending and push retailers out of business.
The company filed for Chapter 11 protection after posting consecutive quarterly losses since 2022 and being forced to close numerous stores, operating roughly 1,300 stores in the U.S. as of May compared with 1,425 in early 2023, according to The Wall Street Journal. Big Lots also announced it had secured over $700 million in funding to guide the company through the bankruptcy process and ensuing sales process, with an affiliate of private equity firm Nexus Capital Management expected to acquire the company.

Shocker: Captured Hamas Document Shows Sinwar Playing the West Like a Fiddle Ed Morrissey
Shocking? Well, maybe. Could anyone feel shock at seeing the same Hamas playbook getting run for the nth time since 2006?
- The document, if authentic, lays out the full hostaging strategy Hamas planned to employ in this war.
- It will come as no surprise to anyone at this point -- outside the White House, anyway -- that Sinwar has no interest in cease-fires or a two-state solution.
- His real interests? Psychological torture and the annihilation of Israel, with his own survival somewhere in between...
Illegal alien votes in 'multiple' US elections after stealing identity of American citizen, DOJ alleges | Blaze Media
Illegal alien votes in 'multiple' US elections after stealing identity of American citizen, DOJ alleges | Blaze Media:
The bill passed the House in July, after 216 Republicans and five Democrats voted in favor of it, and it now moves on for consideration in the Senate, currently under Democrat control. To increase the chances that it will become law, congressional Republicans have pushed to tie the SAVE Act to a continuing budget resolution.
"If Senate leadership truly believes our democracy is sacred, and that the SAVE Act is redundant because it's already illegal for undocumented immigrants to cast a ballot in federal elections, then passing a CR with the SAVE Act included shouldn't be an issue. If it is a problem for Democrats, they should explain to the American people what the hang-up is," wrote Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) in a recent Newsweek op-ed.
Victor Davis Hanson: The Truth About World War II | The Free Press
Germany and its fascist allies started the war. They felt empowered to do so not because of supposed Allied aggression, but because of Western appeasement and isolationism. - By Victor Davis Hanson
- On the Treatment of Russian Prisoners - ...The virtual extinction of these POWs in the first six months of the war was a natural consequence of a series of infamous and so-called “criminal orders” issued by Hitler in spring 1941 to be immediately implemented in his planned “war of extermination” in the East...
- Who Was Responsible for Starting World War II? - As for Cooper’s claim that the Allies were to blame for starting a world war, nothing could be further from the truth. Hitler may have been frustrated that Britain and France declared war on him after his unprovoked invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. But he had been warned by some advisers that the two allies would be finally forced to war, given that he had broken almost all his prewar promises to them about ceasing his serial territorial acquisitions...
A Remembrance of September 11 Guest Post by Melanie Kornondy, Gulf Breeze News
“Two separate airplanes crashed into both Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, another crashed into the Pentagon, and the United States is under a terrorist attack.” - Adm JimThe following editorial about September 11 was published in the Gulf Breeze News and captures the essence of how we all feel about that day of indescribable pain and anguish and terror we all felt when first hearing the news of the attack on New York City, the Pentagon and the planned attack, foiled by the bravery of real Americans, on the Nation’s Capitol...
It was a normal Tuesday morning and I sat on the second row of my zoology class during my senior year at my Mississippi Gulf Coast high school. My teacher had already taken attendance and we were well into working on a group project.
The teacher, who sat on a pub-style stool behind a pedestal at the front of the class, opened an email from another teacher which said something along the lines of: “Two separate airplanes crashed into both Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, another crashed into the Pentagon, and the United States is under a terrorist attack.”...
The feds can use THIS shady new law to SEIZE private land | Blaze Media
The feds can use THIS shady new law to SEIZE private land | Blaze Media:
The SUSTAINS Act is a new law in the works that in classic tyrant fashion would drastically harm Americans’ ability to own land.
The law would give the USDA the power to monitor “natural processes” and decide who owns “environmental services.”
“The USDA now is monetizing natural processes under the SUSTAINS Act,” Glenn Beck says, disturbed. “It doesn’t look like it’s going to be stopped.”

Dems Tried to End Clarence Thomas Over This: Now Joe Biden Is Doing Much Worse
Dems Tried to End Clarence Thomas Over This: Now Joe Biden Is Doing Much Worse:
“Side question: Biden spent the week at the estate of billionaire mega donor Joe Kiani,” the post read.
“Didn’t Dems just [spend] a year+ arguing that Clarence Thomas going on vacations with and using the boat/lodging of a rich friend was indisputable evidence of corruption?”

Julie Su brought Calif. corruption to the White House — and Harris will keep her there - Will ...But her squeamishness left the system vulnerable: When COVID hit, Su lost some $32 billion to fraudsters who hacked the benefits program...
- Multiple sources now say most of the lost money, about $26 billion, was captured by international crime gangs operating on behalf of foreign adversaries — and that taxpayer cash stolen by China’s Advanced Persistent Threat 41 and others is already being deployed against Americans and American interests.
- “The staggering fraud committed against California’s EDD during the pandemic is alarming, but the real danger lies in what those stolen billions are now funding,” said Paul Eckloff, a retired US Secret Service special agent who now works to thwart fraud at LexisNexis Risk Solutions.
The delusions of the West’s politicians - Douglas Murray
From Kamala Harris to David Lammy, they speak like experts about things they know nothing about
- There are a number of joys in life that do not get enough attention.
- One is the sheer, unadulterated pleasure that can be gained from watching a politician speak about something they know nothing about.
- This season Kamala Harris is giving especially abundant material for connoisseurs.
Recognizing that there is plenty she doesn’t know about, her campaign team are hoping that she can glide into office without having to say anything about what she might do once there...
Does ANYONE cry for our children??!!-----Why Michigan Kids Can’t Read
Lockdowns and the repeal of the third-grade reading requirement have resulted in disaster - Kaylee McGhee White
- Elementary students who don’t know how to read by fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
- They have a significantly higher chance of going to jail, of living in poverty, and of never marrying.
Unfortunately, that’s the future 60% of Michigan’s fourth graders now face, thanks to state leaders who deprived them of classroom learning for nearly a year during the pandemic and then passed a law removing standards that required young students to be able to read proficiently before moving on to the next grade.
The results for this year’s Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (MSTEP) are the worst in the test’s history.
The results for this year’s Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (MSTEP) are the worst in the test’s history.
- Just 40% of third graders statewide passed the state’s English language arts (ELA) test last spring.
- The numbers are even worse for minority and low-income students: 86% of black fourth-grade students in the state don’t know how to read, according to a state Senate Education Committee hearing earlier this year...
Trump Reveals Exactly How He'll Fix Biden-Harris Econ Disaster: Will 'Rapidly' Defeat Bidenflation
Trump Reveals Exactly How He'll Fix Biden-Harris Econ Disaster: Will 'Rapidly' Defeat Bidenflation:
Saying white people shouldn’t reproduce is an acceptable message. In 2017, CUNY professor Jessie Daniels, a white woman, wrote a series of tweets in which she said “the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy” and families “reproducing white children” are “part of the problem.”
She received plenty of angry responses, of course, and five minutes in the media spotlight, but she didn’t lose her job. People like Jessie Daniels “educate” America’s children. There are thousands of people like Jessie Daniels in schools and universities across America.

- But that was in the 1970s.
- Today, most salmon make it past the dams without trouble.
- Fish-protecting innovations like fish ladders and spillways guide most of the salmon away from the turbines that generate electricity.

New California Law Will Require Cars to Beep When Traveling 10 Miles Over the Speed Limit - Rick Moran
For a state built on the selling point of unlimited freedom, California sure has a lot of authoritarians making laws.
- The state legislature passed a bill that requires all cars built after 2030 to give a beep when the driver exceeds the speed limit by 10 MPH. Violations of the law wouldn't carry just a fine.
- The state would consider speeding 10 MPH over the limit a crime.
California state Sen. Scott Wiener was surprised by the vicious pushback from citizens to the bill. However, the current language of the bill has been modified considerably from the original text...
