Walgreens decided to close three locations in Boston this week. Now the city is accusing the company of systemic racism and threatening consequences if the stores don't reopen: As often happens with large retail chains of any kind, Walgreens decided to close three Boston locations this week. The pharmacy chain's explanation for the closures implied that it did not make financial sense for the company to keep the locations open, blaming the "dynamics of the local market and changes in the buying habits of our patients." Now, however, the Boston city council has responded to complaints from local residents by attempting to bully Walgreens into keeping the three locations open, whether they are profitable or not. Two members of the Boston City Council have filed a resolution that would block Walgreens from opening any new locations in the city anywhere unless they halt the closure of these three stores. Showing no indication that the council understands that the purpose of a retail location is to make a profit, Worrell also suggested that Walgreens should operate to provide a public service whether it makes money or not. Beautiful Tiffany Trump Marries Michael Boulos At Mar-a-Lago: Tiffany Trump married Michael Boulos on Saturday at Mar-a-Lago at a lavish ceremony. Tiffany, 29, is the daughter of former President Donald Trump and actress Marla Maples, who were married from 1993 to 1999, and half-sister to Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, and Barron Trump. Marla Maples tells PEOPLE, adding that the family chose the venue because “this was Tiffany’s childhood home and where she was brought into the world.” “Tiffany has never been a people divider,” a social source adds, noting that all of the Trumps were in attendance. “This is a joyous family occasion.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/beautiful-tiffany-trump-marries-michael-boulos-mar-largo/ Twitter verifies account for Jesus Christ: A page for Jesus Christ has been verified (with the blue checkmark) by the social media site, that was recently purchased by billionaire Elon Musk, and features a profile picture of a Jesus statue pointing its right index finger and raising its left thumb with a smile and a wink. The page has no religious enlightenment and only features two posted photos. One a meme featuring painter Bob Ross, and the other of the character Black Jesus from the Fox TV series "Family Guy." https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/jesus-christ-twitter-17575113.php Europe is Already Rationing Gas: Across even the most developed and industrious European nations–across Germany and across France, including even Paris–the lights are going out and citizens are being instructed to take cold showers. In Spain, a law passed Monday means offices, stores and hospitality venues will no longer be allowed to set their thermostats below 27C (81F) even during the height of summer, nor raise them above 19C in the depths of winter. You would be forgiven for thinking the end times were approaching, or that WWIII had broken out; but no, this is an entirely self-inflicted blow, one rooted in the establishment’s transparent and absurd ruse to ‘save the planet.' How have we allowed this to happen? Why were European governments content to hand their energy security over to a foreign superpower? Who are the geniuses that thought passing their carbon emission ‘buck’ to Russia would ever reduce atmospheric levels of said trace gas? Who thought wind and solar were ready to replace coal and gas? There is ZERO accountability. The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING in line with historically low solar activity. . . . Why The First Biological Male Winning ‘Miss Greater Derry’ Insults Women Everywhere: Earlier this week, we saw the first trans winner of the Miss Greater Derry beauty pageant, a news story the woke liberal media celebrated as some “milestone” of inclusivity. Brían Nguyen became the first biological male to win a title under the Miss America Organization – The Miss Greater Derry Scholarship Program provides scholarships to “young women” between the ages of 17 and 24. I won the Miss Great Britain competition in 1998, and aside from all the glitz and glamour on the surface, it involved a lot of time and effort. Seeing the news that Brían Nguyen won the pageant made me think how I would feel if I was beaten by a large biological male after spending months training and preparing for the contest. Winning the competition opened up a world of opportunities to me, a result of being allowed to fairly compete in an era absent of woke ideology. Sadly these young women today are not being given the same chance. Allowing a transgender-identifying biological male to win a contest without merit hardly gives young women opportunities; if anything, it is indoctrinating them into a perverted idea of what female beauty is, blurring the lines of societal markers which sets precedents for decline rather than growth. Over the past two years, we’ve seen biological males compete against women in female sports tournaments, with the unfair advantage of, well, being a man. But what’s different with this beauty pageant is Brían Nguyen did not have any advantages; apart from being an overweight transgender-identifying individual, a far cry from what society would have once classed as a ‘natural beauty.’ Amazon to Fire 10,000 Employees as Early as This Week: The world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, will begin laying off 10,000 employees in corporate and technology roles beginning this week, according to a report from The New York Times. According to the report, the layoffs would be the largest in Amazon’s history and would have a massive effect on the company’s devices unit – including the voice-assistant Alexa, as well as the retail division, and human resources departments. Amazon’s planned retrenchment during the critical holiday shopping season — when the company typically has valued stability — shows how quickly the souring global economy has put pressure on it to trim businesses that have been overstaffed or underdelivering for years. Amazon would also become the latest technology company to lay off workers, which only recently it had been fighting to retain. Earlier this year, the e-commerce giant more than doubled the cap on cash compensation for its tech workers, citing “a particularly competitive labor market.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/bidenomics-amazon-fire-10000-employees-early-week/ WATCH – Priest Unharmed After SUV Flies over Car: ‘God’s Hand Was in It’: Father John Bok is still trying to understand how he narrowly escaped danger while on his way to Mass in Milford, Ohio. “It’s a miracle,” the priest told the Catholic News Agency (CNA) earlier this month. The incident happened October 2 as he was driving to Mass for the Feast of the Guardian Angels when a fellow driver experienced a seizure and blacked out. The SUV drove off the road, rammed into a few obstacles, then sailed over Bok’s white car without leaving a single scratch. Video footage showed the black SUV smack into a pole and go airborne as the other vehicle continued on down the road as if nothing happened. “I do believe it’s a miracle, that God’s hand was in it some way,” Bok told Inside Edition. “All of a sudden, I sense something go by me but I didn’t really see it.” The priest continued on his way and later delivered Mass at St. Andrews Catholic Church. He told CNA a police officer later found him at a local restaurant and showed him the clip that was recorded by a nearby funeral home. (Video at the link.) Bok, who is a former physics teacher, later wrote on the Franciscan Friars website, “Why was the pole standing in that exact spot attached to nothing? By what laws of physics did it lift the boy’s car almost 5 feet in the air and send it over my car? So many questions.” “I am certainly thankful to God. I will continue to wonder how much God and how much the laws of science played in the experience. And I continue to be amused by the fact that I was oblivious to what happened until I saw the video in the restaurant. As always, God is good,” he concluded.

UK Supermarkets Begin Rationing Eggs: Supermarkets in the UK have reportedly begun rationing eggs as the supply of the staple food is drastically impacted by both bird flu and the ongoing inflation crisis. The shortage could end up being a serious blow to many struggling households in the country that are already having to cut back on the likes of meat and fish in order to survive the ongoing cost of living crisis. North Korea's Kim reveals daughter at ballistic missile test: SEOUL, Nov 19 (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un revealed his daughter to the world for the first time on Saturday in striking photos showing the pair hand-in-hand inspecting the launch of the nuclear-armed country's largest ballistic missile the day before. North Korea test-fired a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Friday, state news agency KCNA reported on Saturday. The biggest surprise, however, was the presence of Kim's daughter, whose existence had never been publicly confirmed before. KCNA did not name the girl, who is seen in photographs in a white puffy coat holding hands with her father as they look at the massive missile. "This is the first observed occasion where we have seen Kim Jong Un's daughter at a public event" Michael Madden, a North Korea leadership expert at the U.S.-based Stimson Center. "It is highly significant and represents a certain degree of comfort on Kim Jong Un's part that he would bring her out in public in such fashion." Kim is believed to have as many as three children, two girls and a boy, experts said. In 2013 retired American basketball star Dennis Rodman said Kim had a "baby" daughter named Ju Ae. After a trip to North Korea that year, Rodman told The Guardian newspaper he had spent time with Kim and his family, and held the baby. Ju Ae is estimated to be about 12-13 years of age which means that in about four to five years she will be preparing to attend university, or go into military service, Madden said. Kim's wife, Ri Sol Ju, also made a rare appearance at Friday's launch, according to KCNA. "Whenever Ri Sol Ju appears, there is strategic messaging involved. Normally designed to tamp down tensions, counter other aggressive messaging (like tests), or show Kim family cohesion in times of internal troubles," said Ken Gause, a North Korea leadership expert with CNA, a U.S.-based non-profit research organization.
