Hobby Lobby, Nordstrom, Bed Bath & Beyond Have Chosen to Stay Closed on Thanksgiving

These past few several years there has been a trend for some major stores like Macy’s, Target and Walmart to work on Thanksgiving Day so they can compete with the changing retail landscape for Christmas sales.

Happenings like “Cyber Monday,” the first Monday after Thanksgiving when people have returned back to work and are maybe more motivated to spend their time shopping online, purchasing things before the Christmas shopping season, have ruined the Black Friday turnout.

However, many retailers this year have decided to stay closed on Thanksgiving Day.

Among the many retailers who are keeping their doors closed are Christian-owned arts and crafts store Hobby Lobby, Bed Bath & Beyond, Nordstrom, and Barnes & Noble.

Hobby Lobby is well-known for its traditional values, this is one of the few huge retailers who willingly chooses to be closed every Sunday.

The company issued a statement on its website:

“We have chosen to close on the day most widely recognized as a day of rest, in order to allow our employees and customers more time for worship and family. This has not been an easy decision for Hobby Lobby because we realize that this decision may cost us financially. Yet we also realize that there are things more important than profits. This is a matter of principle for our company owner and officers.”

When asked about why they’ve decided to remain closed until Black Friday Bob Miller, the company communications coordinator, said:

“It has always been the practice of the Hobby Lobby to remain closed on Thanksgiving to allow employees to spend time with their families and to enjoy the day together. The owners of Hobby Lobby believe strongly in the importance of family.

“For that reason, we do not anticipate this policy ever changing,” he continued.

Upscale department store Nordstrom had similar views, Senior Fashion PR Specialist Anya Pavlovic stated:

“Our stores have always been closed on Thanksgiving so that our employees can spend time with family and friends. Customers who want to shop with us on Thanksgiving can visit Nordstrom.com, NordstromRack.com and HauteLook.com.”

Even though, or maybe because of the decision to stay closed on Thanksgiving, Nordstrom’s profits for 2016 “exceeded expectations.” The similar happened to Hobby Lobby.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
