In a video that has gained steam on social media, a woman was seen at a San Antonio Walmart with a squirrel crawling out of the back of her blouse and nestling on her shoulder as she operated the self-checkout. You heard that right. A squirrel. The clip from Barstool UTSA was apparently filmed at the Walmart on De Zavala Road near the University of Texas at San Antonio campus. Another woman, in the background of the video, can be overheard saying slowly, “Oh, my God.” “Never going to the Walmart off UTSA Blvd again,” Barstool UTSA wrote on X,...

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that House Republicans who wanted to move forward with the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden were acting prematurely. Hutchinson said, “I think it’s premature. I know that Speaker mccarthy is in a difficult position, and i support him as speaker. i want him to navigate through this. I know he’s trying to do his best there. There has to be an investigation. Whenever you have the questions about the president’s own financing, whether he had a benefit from his son’s dealings, that is something...

A Walmart in Atlanta that was shuttered after it was set on fire by suspected arsonists is installing a police “workspace” inside the store — the latest dire measure aimed at curtailing the shoplifting epidemic that has hit big box chains, groceries, pharmacies, and other retailers. The Walmart grocery store and pharmacy in Vine City, a low-income neighborhood on Atlanta’s west side, will feature a work area for cops when it reopens in May, the retailer said. Police officers will be able to fill out paperwork and hold meetings in the space in addition to charging their phones and body...

Walmart is paying some new store workers less than it would have three months ago, a sign that employers are seeking to cut labor costs as the once-hot market for hourly staff cools. The country’s largest private employer changed its wage structure for hourly workers in mid-July. [Snip] The wage-structure change comes after Walmart and other large employers have for years steadily raised wages and added benefits to attract workers in a tight labor market. The retailer’s latest move suggests that the stresses companies are facing in trying to find employees are easing and that they need to find ways...

Someone summoned the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department to the Somers Walmart early Thursday morning, August 10th. The person saw a male white, fully naked, standing next to a black truck and appeared to be masturbating. According to Kenosha County Sheriff spokesman Lt.

Florida first lady Casey DeSantis snapped back Thursday at left-wing critics who have dubbed her “America’s Karen,” “Walmart Melania” and other disparaging monikers. “One thing that the corporate media did get right about me, I do shop at Walmart,” Casey joked alongside her husband, Gov. Ron DeSantis, during an interview on “Fox & Friends.” “When they come after you and they’re just calling you names — that means they don’t want to litigate the merits of their case,” she added. “They don’t want to have that conversation. They want to call you names.”

Eco-vandals targeted Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie's £241million superyacht in Ibiza today, using fire extinguishers to coat it in red and black paint. Vegan activists from Futuro Vegetal (Vegetable Future) sprayed the 360ft vessel before holding up a 'You Consume Others Suffer' sign in their latest climate protest stunt. The Spanish group has claimed responsibility in a statement on social media, which states that 'the only reason we continue to maintain an economic system that leads us to eco-social collapse is to sustain the privileges of this small privileged class.' The superyacht belongs to US supermarket heiress Nancy Walton Laurie,...

Crusius pleaded guilty in February after federal prosecutors took the death penalty off the table. But Texas prosecutors have said they will try to put Crusius on death row when he stands trial in state court. That trial date has not yet been set. Joe Spencer, Crusius’ attorney, told the judge before the sentencing that his client has a “broken brain.” “Patrick’s thinking is at odds with reality … resulting in delusional thinking,” Spencer said.

A week ago, I published an article about how Walmart’s Walton family has sold off more than 71 million shares of stock this year alone. This is the most they have ever sold and the largest amount they have ever sold as far back as 2016. At least, that is what I have seen in my research. From March 2023 to June 2023, they have offloaded that huge amount. This action has raised a lot of questions about WHY they would be offloading this much stock in such a short amount of time. In looking at what would cause them...

A Walmart customer has furiously slammed the retail giant for placing a range of bras and panties that were seemingly being marketed at young girls next to the men's clothing section in her local store. Sasha Piton of Idaho Falls, Idaho, took to TikTok to rant about the awkward positioning of two clothing sections, further noting that these 'bras and panties' were also easily visible from the megastore's grocery department. After stating she'd come to Walmart to look for a bralette she'd seen on a different visit, Sasha, who goes by @thesashapiton on the platform, couldn't help but notice the...
