We have very similar rules in my household.

A Patriot never uses ‘me’ and ‘I’.

An individual does. Individualism is a keystone of America. Let the man speak as he chooses. It's what a patriot would do.

I have been struck by the sheer number of social events, church events, reporting cf what every kid is doing in school, who has come to visit who, which businessman is staying at the local hotel, who won what at various fairs, birth and death celebrations.


The need to network is still strong. We here on FR are supposedly networked on one common thing. But unfortunately that “one common thing” still has a thousand different meanings, so we will never amount to much.

What has replaced the local mercantile? It is the local drug dealers, much like the godfather. You need a problem solved or some money, he is more than willing to help you not only with drugs. He likes the power and prestige in the community.

The Homersexual community is linked on one common thing too. It is a well structured network that we don’t even begin to understand.

But most of all, your comments are a reminder to repeat the successes of the past. Host a local block party and start networking.

I repeat, The one small thing we can do is start having some picnics and bonfires.

My farmer tenant just told me that he did this for all the new house owners in his area. The next year, someone else hosted it.

I agree, its a well funded Social Movement, and when we stop them they send their cannon fodder ( ANTIFA, Black lives Matter and others) into the streets.

It soon will bring civil war to sanctuary cities, where this civil war is already being fought by the federal government via ICE.

Thats right Kanawa, but he will need a case of tissues, he will really be cryin’ a lot. LOL.

Hope that you are surviving the winter, We have a lot of snow here in central NB. The snow pack is at 117%, so we are all praying for a slow thaw, or we will have severe flooding.

My step son is breeding British Bull Mastiffs, and I have fallen in love with them via dogsitting. Their male weighs in at 190 lbs.

Soon Walmart will be replaced by the internet

I don't think so. Walmart is investing heavily in becoming a legitimate competitor to Amazon. Not a fan of most Walmart offerings, but they have batteries and oil filters, and as a investor, appreciate that they've smelled the coffee and are aggressively going after e-commerce, but with the added value of having brick and mortar stores where people can still get groceries or try on a jacket that they remembered seeing on the interwebs while ordering underwear.

It's ALL part of the Cloward/Pivens plan to overwhelm America with problems, situations and people that keep a Conservative constantly swivelling his head to protect against another sucker punch.

Dear GOD, we need help !

The queers and the enemy are a strong force to resist against and it is ALL fomented by PUBLIC SCHOOLS ... that do not actually TEACH to retain, American history

America had better wake up !

Two less than educated, muzzie freshman representatives are already the camels' nose in.

as pointed out in THIS VIDEO , Almost Occasionally Conscious is very professionally scripted and she is really, really good at delivering her lines.

AND

, Cenk Uyger and Young Turks meltdown election night... and around the 6:30 mark he states .... WE'RE COMING AFTER YOU, DEMOCRATIC PARTY !

ALL of this adds up to a very well executed plot to take over the America every drop of blood shed in every war has ever paid for.

Aoc, tlaib and omar have bonded together to get Congress to drop the headgear ban JUST FOR THE TWO MUZZIE enemies the tratorous Americans actually voted in.

THIS SHIT IS DANGEROUS !

Violence at malls does not happen spontaneously. It is guided by social media. IOW we can know when it is going to happen but the government chooses not to know.
The same government that chooses to know what YOU are doing.

I go to walmart probably once a week or so. I observe what is happening. It is interesting to try to see how they to react to the changing market

Locally a project to allow customers to use an ap to pay for items as they scan them on their I phones was abandoned. It was replaced with more scanners at the self check out. I always self check out because it is easy and quick

Meanwhile, walmart has promoted ordering on line and picking up at the store.

I asked one of the walmart employees with the cart of plastic boxes collecting goods for orders how it was going. He told me they had a hard time keeping up. Women at work caan go to walmart on their phone and pick up stuff already paid for on their way home.

Walmart has identified and is serving a niche group of customers that live on their I phones. These women should be Amazon customers but have trouble accepting deliveries while not at home. This business is coming off Amazon’s hide

Although Walmart is very large, the company seems to be able to act
quickly on change.

It seems that the great mass of walmart customers don’t trade on line because they don’t have the ability or just insist on seeing and feeling the goods

Soon Walmart will be replaced by the internet and those small business owners will be selling to you via the web.Its already happening big time

"Soon" is a relative term...

The internet can't replace a 9:00 pm run to WM for milk and bread and what's on sale.

Face it women like to "shop" and find bargains,etc.

I can see retailers in the coming decades like WM scaling down their stores and leave specialty items to be shipped to your home.

WM and like retailers aren't being replaced by the internet...

Retailing is far more then profits on a certain items. Retailers like WM make billions charging manufacturers "placement fees" "stocking fees" " advertisement fees"

Physical retail locations aren't going away...
