America is in decline, particularly in democrat-run cities. As a result, our nation is facing the folowing:
- Increased inflation and interest rates
- Increased debt (both for the nation and many individual households)
- Disasterous “Defund the Police” policies
- Increased crime with soft-on-punishment policies
- Open borders with thousands of illegal aliens arriving daily as well as drugs (particularly fentanyl) pouring into our cities
The disasterous policies of this administration and democrats (I’d also include The Swamp in the blame game) have led to this:
CVS says it will close NINE HUNDRED stores by the end of 2024 – 10% of all its shops – as it moves to online strategy amid rampant increase in shoplifting
From the Daily Mail:
“CVS is set to close hundreds of stores across the country as it undergoes a complete retail overhaul – as more outlets move towards online sellers amid rampant increases in crime.
The major drugstore chain is coming to the end of a policy launched in 2021 which will see 300 stores closed each year – meaning 900 will have shuttered by 2024.
In the announcement, which has hit headlines again recently amid rampant shoplifting at the chain, bosses they said that they were undergoing a new ‘retail footprint strategy.’
CVS and other retailers across the US continue to adjust to post-pandemic footfall, with COVID helping turbocharge the popularity of online shopping. More shoppers are turning to buying online in the wake of the pandemic, as well as rocketing levels of shoplifting affecting sales in stores.
CVS claims that ‘local market dynamics, population shifts, and a community’s store density’ are some of the aspects it has looked into when deciding which stores to shutter.”

Locked up goods: What many Americans now see when shopping at their local stores.
Things are so bad in democrat-run Oakland, California that over 200 businesses are staging a strike today to protest over crime that has “gotten out of hand” and are demanding better public safety.
San Francisco’s retail area is turning into a ghost town due to crime and homelessness. Stores are closing in Seattle due to crime. Philadelphia convenience stores are closing due to brazen thefts. This is pattern in many other democrat-run cities such as Baltimore, Chicago, Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles.
Local and national elections matter. The health and prosperity of our American cities matter. Remember folks:
