When officers arrived, they learned an unidentified man driving a red Jeep SUV – possibly a Patriot or Commander – approached the teenager as she was walking to school on Clover Hill Road. The girl alleged that the suspect identified himself as a police officer and told her to get into the vehicle. He then allegedly exited the vehicle, grabbed the teenager’s arm, put her in the front passenger seat and drove away. Once the suspect reached Quarry Road, the girl was able to get out of the vehicle, she told police.

Macy’s intends to shutter 55 of its locations by the end of 2024. “The troubled retailer announced in February that it would shut 150 underperforming stores over the next three years – with 50 shuttering by the end of 2024,” Daily Mail noted. However, the department store chain has upped the number of locations it expects to close to save costs. Macy's Set To Close 55 Stores By The End Of 2024 https://t.co/9WeoFPFKG9 — zerohedge (@zerohedge) September 8, 2024 Per Daily Mail: Macy’s has yet to announce exactly which stores will be affected, but employees are speculating whether their location could be on the chopping block. Like many department stores, Macy’s has been suffering from dwindling sales amid the stratospheric rise of online rivals and the demise of America’s suburban malls. During Macy’s latest earnings call, chief financial officer Adrian Mitchell said that the company is ‘very pleased with the progress’ that it is making in selling off its bricks and mortar stores to landlords and developers. ‘We’re very pleased with the value we’re able to unlock in those deals and those transactions,’ he said. The company appointed a new CEO, Tony Spring, earlier this year, who announced a major turnaround effort. This includes closing more than a third of stores – leaving just 350 nationwide by 2026 – and focusing more on its luxury offerings Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury.

Which Wisconsin locations could be affected? https://t.co/OIFWJuY4qm — Journal Sentinel (@journalsentinel) September 6, 2024 Retail Wire reports: The locations of the shuttering stores have not yet been announced, but speculation is abounding that the stores will include a location in Newington, New Hampshire, one in Traverse City, Michigan, and one in WestShore Plaza mall in Tampa, Florida. These stores are reportedly set to close after the winter holidays. “The biggest things that have gone wrong at Macy’s are the quality of the stores and the product assortment,” GlobalData Retail analyst Neil Saunders said to the outlet. “And so over the years customers have deserted it, sales have tumbled and store productivity has gone down. All the metrics have gone in the wrong direction.” News of these closures comes shortly after Macy’s announced that it was diverting funds to its in-house brands in yet another effort to turn the proverbial ship around. According to TheStreet, the shop has resurrected or introduced a number of other brands, including On 34th and State of Day, as part of its rehabilitation drive. It plans to launch a men’s collection before the end of the year, and a new kids’ brand will follow next. But Macy’s significant rebrand goes beyond simply bringing back well-known brands. The mall mainstay is purportedly concentrating more on its well-known high-margin luxury products in an attempt to attract customers with a little more disposable income.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz doubled down on supporting failed policies in their newly released policy platform, which they unveiled just hours before this week’s presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. The roughly 4,500-word platform was heavy on platitudes, did not go deep on many policy issues, and gave few explanations about how she expected to implement her agenda other than repeatedly saying she would “fight” for it. She branded her agenda as a “New Way Forward” despite her already being at the helm for nearly four years in the Biden-Harris administration. Nowhere in her platform did she explain how her approach would differ from what she is currently doing. The platform repeatedly linked Trump to a think tank’s “Project 2025” agenda, even though Trump has no links to the project and has thoroughly disavowed it. Harris doubled down on her plan for how she will get people in homes with her “comprehensive plan to build three million more rental units and homes that are affordable to end the national housing supply crisis in her first term.” Nowhere does she explain who will build the units and she once again insisted on jacking up demand and housing costs by giving first-time buyers $25,000 in down payment assistance. She also declared that she will sign legislation to “outlaw new forms of price fixing by corporate landlords” without mentioning that it will first have to pass Congress. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Harris plans to magically create an “Opportunity Economy” in which people will submit 25 million new business applications by the end of her first term. She once again doubled down on Soviet-style price controls, which do not work, to bring down costs that have surged in recent years because of her role in triggering the inflation crisis. “She will go after bad actors who exploit an emergency to rip off consumers by calling for the first-ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries,” her platform states. “And she’ll keep fighting to bring down prescription drug costs by taking on pharmacy middlemen, who raise consumers’ prices for their own gain and squeeze independent pharmacies’ profits.” She doubled down on the socialist agenda of making health care “a right” and “not a privilege” — which is unconstitutional and incredibly stupid. Harris signaled that she will continue to fight against the oil and gas industry and try to expand green energy, which is one of the top reasons that energy costs have skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration. She will magically enact an agenda that “advances environmental justice, protects public lands and public health, increases resilience to climate disasters, lowers household energy costs, creates millions of new jobs, and continues to hold polluters accountable to secure clean air and water for all,” her platform stated. Harris will support abortion and her platform gave no indication that she supports any kind of limits on it, meaning that she will support abortion up until the moment of birth. Immediately after the section titled, “SAFEGUARD OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS,” Harris declared that she will go after Americans’ Second Amendment rights. She said that she will ban semi-automatic firearms, commonly used magazines, and that she will support laws that strip Americans of their due process rights by taking their firearms without going through the court system. Her campaign tried to paint her disastrous border record as strong despite overseeing the worst 4-year period of illegal immigration in recorded U.S. history in which more than 10 million illegal aliens have flooded into the U.S. Harris proposes in her platform rewarding the millions who broke federal law by illegally coming into the U.S., where they have wreaked havoc on communities across the country, by rewarding them with a “pathway to citizenship.”
