In just 90 seconds, they’d made off with over $10,000 in cosmetics.
Groups known as “flash-mob robbers” storm a store, steal thousands in merchandise in minutes and bolt as quickly as they arrive. Among the most notorious are the Rainbow Girls — a group of female thieves, named for their brightly hued hair — who’ve hit dozens of stores in the Bay Area.

The mostly girl gang has also walked off with a combined more than $130,000 worth of luxury goods from Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton LVMUY, -2.57% Christian Dior and Sunglass Hut LUX, -0.37% , according to charges filed against a dozen members of the Rainbow Girls in the Bay Area in October.

This is the story of the $500,000 Green Card — a path to legal residency that begins with an offer by a wealthy foreign national to invest half-a-million dollars in an approved project that promises to create American jobs. Continue reading “The $500,000 Green Card – The EB-5 Visa Program”

“This idea that we’re now divided is being manufactured and spread by the media,” said Trump supporter Loy Brunson, 60, a musician in Provo, Utah. Continue reading “After Trump’s election: ‘There are two Americas now.’”
