From your own article:
A Kroger spokesperson previously told Bloomberg that Groff's comment was "cherry-picked" and "does not reflect Kroger's decades long business model to lower prices for customers by reducing its margins."
Wait so a spokesperson whose job is to make the company look better did exactly that and tried to soften the news?! No way!

I'm glad they raised prices when they could and you being pissy about it is the height of being a weakling.

If I'm a shareholder and I hear otherwise, that CEO is getting fired ASAP.

Also, while I'm at it -- anyone who attends any "stakeholder" meeting is part of the problem.
 
You know why it's hard for a woman to get elected President? Because I believe that in order for them to reach the level in American politics, where they're finally considered, they think they have to become so over-bearingly obnoxious/tough, that most folks end up despising them.

They all come across as having "little man's syndrome" It's nothing but their interpretation of what they think "toughness" looks like.

Genuine toughness manifests itself differently in women than it does in men. When women try and do "masculine tough" it just comes across as annoying and shrill. There is nothing genuine about it.

It's not misogyny.
That’s why Tulsi Gabbard personifies a strong woman. She doesn’t pretend to be some overly masculine version of herself. She uses her intelligence and common sense to win people over.

What’s her role going to be by the way? Secretary of State maybe?

Your spin notwithstanding, there seems to be a bit more to this story, and your all-or-nothing stance is based on some flimsy assertions, including your erroneous declaration that the CEO said that.

Regardless, your entire premise is ironically hilarious, that you would somehow suddenly give a hot shit about the price of eggs and milk, given the fact that Biden's reign has completely OBLITERATED the buying power of the poor and middle class. But you are too stupid to look in the mirror and even consider that maybe it's YOUR people and THEIR policies who effed this country up.

This worship of an essential leftist has to stop. Gabbard is a gun grabbing abortionist who is simply sickened by the totality of the insanity of her party. She belongs nowhere near a Trump administration and she definitely will NOT be SecState. You're looking at somebody like Eric Schmidt.

You can’t bitch about the costs of things (like the cult did this election cycle saying it’s the most important issue) and simultaneously say that you’re glad companies jacked up prices beyond inflation (price gouging). But hey good luck with that.

Biden doesn’t control the price of eggs and milk. There was inflation (caused by trump and Biden’s terms and handing out money) and that inevitably raised prices some. But then there was price gouging which you can’t possibly support but hell maybe you do. Tariffs are going to jump prices even higher. But hey I’m sure the companies will only raise prices enough to cover the costs of tariffs and we can trust them not to gouge us more right? Right?

Or, he might be one the smartest, most reasonable guys on the planet, wants peace, and knows both parties, to help facilitate a negotiation?

Get used to it, commie boy.

Cry for four years, (maybe 12+) we don't care. Cope.
The fact Trump is assembling a team of people he can trust and is actually involving them and listening to them is a huge 180 from his first term. I hate what happened the last 4 years, lots of people suffered, but I’m almost half grateful now because it helped wake people up to the realities of what was happening. I feel had Trump won in 2020, we would be in a worse position. Trump may have been actually assassinated. We would have been dealing with Pence, and there’s no telling who the left would have propped up. Now they are left in limbo to figure out who carries their torch next and we have a formidable lineup to choose from. Losing 2020 might have been a blessing.
 
Baris understands election demographic dynamics more than anyone else in the business. Fortunately for Trump, he's also a Conservative, and helped the Trump campaign put their resources where they would make a huge difference, and thus, win. His help, more than anything else, helped flip that state. All of those gains in registration, and vote mining in Allegheney? The majority of that came from him (through intermediaries)

Every Karl Rove, Carville, etc. WISHES they had the mind for this that Baris does. He's peerless right now.
"Mark Mitchell, the self-taught pollster for Rasmussen Reports, has a little but revealing secret to tell about his mysterious business.
“It’s not rocket science,” said the Wharton School graduate and retired nuclear Navy officer who just completed his first presidential cycle with the best Election Day record in the industry."

"Only two polls called the popular vote nearly exactly: Rasmussen Reports and the Wall Street Journal. Both had the final vote as 49% for President-elect Donald Trump and 46% for Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump won 50%-47%."

Another one for white liberals to watch.

Bill Maher still put out that Trump is Hitler like. Although he is one of the more reasonable left loons out there, he still has to take a stab to ensure his base remains tuned in. But if he actually believes Hitler like then he is not as intelligent as he projects himself to be.
 
There's some .308 Garands out there is why I asked. Regardless, I'd kill for one of those.
I think the ones they had were pretty much all .30-06. They did have some modded ones that used 7.62. They also had a few other types of rifles. I think they had some M1903's as well. They get some 1911 handguns on occasion.

If anyone is interested in getting an M1 or to see what else they have just do a search for CMP Store (stands for Civilian Marksmanship Program). They get all of these old weapons and resell them for reasonable prices compared to what it would cost you from a collector or gun store. A lot of the ones they have had came from places like Turkey and the Philippines. They were returned after all these years of leasing them.

They come in different quality levels. Cheapest ones are called rack grade and start at like $700. Then they have I believe field and service grade. Mine is expert grade. I drove down there so I could see them instead of just getting whatever they sent. There's a bit of paperwork to deal with if you order through the mail. Less paperwork in person. I had to show birth certificate, DD Form 214. license, and a membership to a CMP affiliated club (you can join one for like $35 to take care of that).

There's a store up in Ohio near Lake Erie, the one in Anniston, AL that I went to, and another one down the road a little near Talladega where they have shooting competitions. Louisville is about in the middle of all of them. Went to the Alabama one since there's 2 stores.
 


FEMA employee removed from role after telling relief team to skip houses with Trump signs after Florida hurricane​


(CNN)-A Federal Emergency Management Agency employee has been removed from her role after she advised her disaster relief team to avoid homes with signs supporting President Donald Trump while canvassing in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, the agency said Friday.
Hopefully fired.

So, DNC...

If you could go back in time, to January 2021, would you do anything differently? You think maybe you'd just let Trump go on back to Florida to play golf, and leave him alone? Considering that almost 4 years later, you've literally been beaten into submission? You think you might want to reconsider picking that fight? LOL
 
I agree. But we've not had a Tulsi win a major party nomination for POTUS.
Well she had the DNC to deal with. It wasn’t her turn in their pecking order. Now that she’s on the other side, she’s gaining momentum and will make a nice potential VP candidate next go around.

Then why did Biden brag about Thanksgiving food prices going down $0.13? Remember him spiking the football over that nonsense? I bet you applauded it too. You're a complete ignoramus. You really should learn about inflation and what government regulation and spending does to the price of goods and services. This is high school level stuff, bruh. Just answer this question. Does a higher price of gasoline affect food prices, yes or no?

I've already addressed tariffs. They ran this country before the advent of the income tax in 1913 and people were prosperous. How did we function as a country without income taxes? Hmmm....

Tariffs increase WAGES, dummy. Couple that with eliminating the income tax and higher prices don't mean shit. The government effs up EVERYTHING.

One thing we CANNOT tolerate, is the constant gouging from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I'd much rather trust corporations to keep their prices in line than the government to run things. All the government does is break things and eff things up. Corporations have to deal with competition. Governments don't.

One thing I'll never forgive Clinton for. He ordered over a million Garands destroyed. Because of that, the prices of CMPs went up.

When Gutfeld said "legacy media is dead." do you think fox corporate execs started planning his exit?

(or does having the number one late night talkshow in the country, by a lightyear, give him enough muscle to get away with it?_
FWIW, I don't think Fox sees themselves as legacy media.

I most certainly can and will. There is a distinct difference between government policy that fueled inflation (COVID LOCKDOWNS AND FREE GOVERNMENT CHEESE) and intelligent private actors responding to market factors (which I hope includes me).

I want my government doing literally the littlest amount possible. Good luck with making me give a shit otherwise.

Didn’t help with Tucker. If Gut gets canned he’ll just go on to do his own thing like Tucker and Megyn. Fox can shoot themselves in the foot all they want.

I was in Turkey for parts of three years. The M1 was my daily carry weapon. They were saving the M-16's for Viet Nam.
 
That 6 minute speech is beautiful. Gives me so much hope for our country. Can’t wait till January 20th. Thinking about traveling to DC for the inauguration.
Great stuff. Only concern is saying these platforms need to have "fairness" & "neutrality" (~3:15). Who decides that? Sounds like broadcasting "Fairness Doctrine".

I certainly understand and appreciate the sentiment about limited government, but I particularly struggle with applying it to anti-trust, work-place and environmental legislation. There are some lines there, it seems to me, but I'm definitely not sure where to draw them. Always a good discussion with friends over beer or coffee, but we can never reach consensus or conclusions.

Please show us where she still pushes that agenda?

That sucks to see a big part of history destroyed when they could have been saved. I heard some people saying they got the M1's in the past for less than half the price as now. We're just lucky to have gotten a chance to save the ones that we did.

Thankfully there were a bunch brought back from overseas in recent years. No telling how many were in to poor of shape to salvage. They sold some stocks cheap that were in very poor shape at a tent sale they were having while I was there. I guess some people buy them and try to restore them.
 
I hope the my pronoun movement dies a slow, painful death.

With that said, almost without exception, everyone that announced their pronouns was a young liberal female or a young, probably homosexual male.

They kept pressuring us at work to put our pronouns in our email. Probably over 70% refused.
That’s all UK is. You should see all of their email signatures. All trans/gay flags and “she/her.”

I first started seeing the pronoun thing in 2021. It’s overwhelmingly women as is everything that’s brainwashed leftist crap.

It has always been dumb as hell virtue signaling. It’s a mask. It’s a black square, an “I am vaccinated “ Facebook profile filter.

But it is beyond stupid for an actual female to have “she/her” in a bio. Everyone knows who actual women are. It does not need to be stated. If you’re a freak show male in a dress pretending to be a woman then you’re the one who can put pronouns in your sig so everyone knows “Oh okay this guy is insane so we gotta play along”).

The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany’s most loyal followers had to be women. Had to be.
