McDonald’s MCD -0.58% shuttered 350 poorly performing stores in Japan, the United States, and China the first three months of 2015 as part of its plan to boost its sagging profits.

Those previously unannounced closings, disclosed on a conference call with Wall Street analysts on Wednesday, are on top of the 350 shutterings the world’s largest restaurant chain had already targeted for the year. While those 700 store closings this year represent a fraction of the 32,500 or so restaurants worldwide, they show how aggressive McDonald’s is getting in pruning poorly attended locations that are dragging down its results.   Continue reading “McDonald’s is closing hundreds of stores this year”

Commentary – A joke by Lindsey Graham to the extent that he expects so much Jewish money due to his shameless shilling for Israel that he will have to appoint an “all-Jewish cabinet” says so much about the state of politics in America. Some Jewish journalists in fact have voiced their discomfort with Graham’s jokes because it could open people’s eyes to the link between Jewish money, the appointment of Jewish officials, and pro-Israel policies, as the first article below indicates.   Continue reading “Jewish money flooding Presidential campaign. Lindsey Graham jokes he will have “all-Jewish Cabinet.””

Now, photographs taken in Corona, California are adding to that speculation with a MRAP full of what looks to be U.S. Marines driving down the 1-15 freeway. At a different time the photos may be nothing more than mildly startling but with the run up to Jade Helm they may provide more evidence of coming civil unrest.   Continue reading “Military MRAP photographed on California highway as Jade Helm buildup continues”
