The former mayor of Arcadia resigned after admitting to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China in a federal plea deal unsealed on Monday.
Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People's Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022. The city is within LA County.
Wang pled guilty to the federal charge at her arraignment in downtown Los Angeles on Monday afternoon. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.
LA's top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said this is not the first time China has been caught trying to exert its influence in the United States.
"Ms. Wang is just the latest to act as an agent for the PRC and it should terrify Americans that she was able to rise to the highest levels of local office in her city," Essayli said.
According to court documents, Wang worked with her then fiancé, Yaoning "Mike" Sun, on a web site called "U.S. News Center," which claimed to be news source for Chinese Americans.
But in reality the pair were carrying out Beijing's orders through the site, and sharing data on how many people had viewed the story with Chinese officials.
Wang and Sun "executed directives" from the Chinese government, posting propaganda designed to help China and reporting back to their masters with screenshots showing how many people viewed the stories, according to the plea agreement.
In one case, Wang's spymaster ordered her to post a PRC-authored essay denying the existence of genocide and forced labor in the Xinjiang region, according to the document.
"There is no genocide in Xinjiang; there is no such thing as 'forced labor' in any production activity, including cotton production. Spreading such rumor is to defame China, destroy Xinjiang's safety and stability," wrote Wang's master, according to the plea agreement.

BREAKING: Walgreens reveals the Chicago South Side store they are shuttering after 20 years, lost $1 million mainly due to theft last year, which is 4x the company average, while they spent $400k a year on security and employees still got assaulted.

Paul A. Szypula
@Bubblebathgirl
Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing outrage from Chicago residents over Walgreens store closures, particularly on the South Side.
Walgreens is closing its longtime Chatham store on June 4 after $1 million in losses in 2025 and high theft rates.
The store had been there more than 20 years. Walgreens said theft at that location was four times the company average.
Walgreens spent $400,000 a year on security officers in addition to other measures, but that wasn't enough.
Thieves would break through the defenses and rob the store anyway.
Johnson needs to seriously address the crime that's making businesses leave Chicago.

A local resident stands up and asks the obvious question: “How do you plan to meet the sexual needs of 600 men?”

Outstanding question that has no answer, except for the unacceptable answer: "We plan to just permit them to rape British girls as they please."

Which is how the woke DA in Minneapolis handles it:

In case you didn't read that right, because your brain made a correction to the words that couldn't possibly be accurate: Five years probation for raping a 15-year-old child, not five years in prison (which would also be a slap on the wrist).

I still see people claiming that Biden flew migrants into the United States. That did NOT happen. No such program existed.
The closest thing was the parole programs which allowed some Ukrainians, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to come here legally for two years.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
President Biden created the CHNV migrant flights mass parole program which allowed 30,000 migrants to fly into the U.S. every month (not on taxpayer dime) for 2 year humanitarian parole grants, totaling over 500,000 migrants. But they never left, and the DHS Inspector General found the Biden admin wasn't even tracking their parole expiration & certainly wasn't enforcing it. There was also no vetting of their sponsors and widespread fraud was found in the program, leading the Biden admin to temporarily pause it.
One Haitian man who flew into JFK airport as part of the program was supposed to be with his listed sponsor in New Jersey, but he ended up in a migrant hotel outside of Boston where he was convicted of raping a young girl in the hotel.
This program didn't exist before Biden, so yes, Biden quite literally allowed more than half a million migrants to circumvent the border and fly into the US outside of the normal visa or legal immigration process, and the large majority of them are still here well past the expiration of their 2 year parole grants.

Pratt's telling truths and exploding brains:

Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸
@Bubblebathgirl
Spencer Pratt on how he'll make LA more affordable:
"What people forget is they can't lower the cost of goods. The only thing you can do to make things more affordable as mayor, which I will be able to do, is put more money in people's pockets. We need to put more revenue in the city. We're over here they're always asking me, 'How are you going to balance this budget Spencer? There's going to be no money to do this.'
We should be the number one city in the world. We should have money shooting out of ATMs. We're Los Angeles. There'll be plenty of money when we let the systems work. When we let business work. How can you let business work if you have drug addicts going number two and number one in front of every café?
We lost over 100 restaurants in LA, not because they weren't good food, but cause you have drug addicts scaring people to go out."
Everything Pratt says here is right. He's sharp, smart and strong. He's just letting loose and it's glorious to see.
I wish I lived in LA just so I could vote for him.

This is so insane I wonder if it's a false flag hoax.

24 Retail theft is through the roof everywhere. In bad neighborhoods, the gangs bust in and steal the shit. In better neighborhoods, people driving nice SUVs pass stuff through the self-checkout without scanning it. That’s why big box stores have started reducing the number of self-check aisles and/or adding more employee supervision. We’ve basically normalized and legalized retail theft in the last 5 years.

"Scoop via @CBSNews: As Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park in its country, potentially shielding them from US airstrikes, sources told @JimLaPorta and me. Days after Trump announced the ceasefire in early April, Tehran sent multiple aircraft to Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan.
Among the military hardware was an Iranian Air Force RC-130, a reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering variant of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules tactical transport aircraft."

77 Crime has always been a part of Chicago. Not just petty crime but real mob crime. And a lot of that crime lives on the lake shore even now. South Chicago is one thing with the drugs and gangs. I don't think the police even try to clean it up anymore. But the lake shore is money and political power and you can bet much safer to live in.

The people in those counties elected them however so Dems get what they deserve. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who didn't vote for them who suffer as well.

88 "How do you plan to meet the sexual needs of 600 men?"

Wow I must be American, because my first reaction is "That's not the government's job"

If those men were normal men from civilized societies that question wouldn't need to be asked because the answer is "They have sufficient self-control to find licit outlets on their own."

I am really hoping that the intent of the questioner was a very politely and diplomatically-worded way of saying "How are you going to keep them from raping people?" because it could just as easily be understood to imply that the government is already responsible for assigning sexual partners to people and I'm not sure I would put it past the British government to try that and the British people to allow it.

The platform to the right of the scanner senses the added weight of each item. You physically have to put each item on it separately. Of course, in a line with a real human checkout person, you can do the triple scan maneuver.

129 Before the advent of the modern grocery store (IIRC Piggly Wiggly was one of the first) you went into the store, walked up to the counter, gave them your shopping list, the clerk went in the back, assembled your order, and brought it back to the counter where you paid for it, before being given your order. A high trust society made the modern day grocery store experience possible. The lack of high trust is bringing the old ways back.

I've gotten to the point where I see a "no littering" sign I say "print the sign in spanish if you want less litter"

The dirty secret the Dems hide is that their minority coalition are way more bigoted against each other than white folks are about any one of the groups. I know we people of pallor do have stereotypes and prejudices, but as a group we are more likely to judge on individual character instead of hating on everyone that is group XYZ.

People bitch about self checkout yet the lines are somehow still there. I like self checkout. I get in and get out much faster and don’t have to deal with other people. If I just need three or four items, instead of dealing with a grannie who insists on writing a check, or a customer arguing with a cashier…I just go do my own thing. Stores should pay me store credit for helping people get things off of high shelves but they won’t. Hence the “logic” of “they should pay me to bag and check out my own groceries” doesn’t fly with me either.

172 Before the advent of the modern grocery store (IIRC Piggly Wiggly was one of the first) you went into the store, walked up to the counter, gave them your shopping list, the clerk went in the back, assembled your order, and brought it back to the counter where you paid for it, before being given your order. A high trust society made the modern day grocery store experience possible. The lack of high trust is bringing the old ways back.

The dumbest thing you can do, as much as I like self-checkout, is to go to an all-self checkout model. I’ve seen Wally World try it in Lubbock and Amarillo and was not impressed. You need both options. Self checkout is good for 10 items or less. Cashiers are good for larger orders and the whiners and complainers who hate self checkout because they aren’t store employees (they wouldn’t survive three seconds in Germany: you bring your own bags and bag your own groceries; don’t like it? What’s German for “Tough shit”?). Just my 0.02.

I banned eating and drinking in my classroom because the kids were pigs without a trace of manners. Their response would be something you would say: “People are paid to clean up after us so we can and should be pigs.” If I am getting bread, milk and eggs and that’s it, why not scan my own groceries and bag my own groceries?

Meijers self checkout has an overhead video that busts you scanning the same item when you buy in quantity. Also stops at a liquor purchase, or so I've been told.

So, an employee is still involved in a purchase.

Wal-Mart does pretty much the same thing, as well as providing you a contact pot buzz and freak show.

let’s not pretend this is the same as a shoe store closing. Walgreens spent decades embedding itself as the neighborhood prescription hub, helped wipe out independent pharmacy options, and trained seniors and chronic-care patients to rely on them. Once you build that dependency, you don’t get to shrug and say “not profitable enough” like you were only selling chips and greeting cards.

What the heck are they stealing? Everything in my Walgreens is locked down like Fort Knox and I live on the North Side.

I've stopped shopping at walgreens all together because the prices are insane. The convenience is just not worth it

What convenience? You gotta wait for someone to get you the things you need that are locked up, then wait 20 min in line again.

Was about to buy sleeping pills from Walgreens out of convenience. Saw the price was $22 for the same bottle I pay $12 for at Walmart. So I just ordered from Walmart plus and got free delivery same day

I don't understand why anyone would shop at Walgreens. The markup is so high that it surpasses the 80% retail margin rule. They are robbing you.

Bring some amazon boxes too and lie down the bags in them as they fill up and start another layer. Build a mountain.

I assume that is intentional to keep the self service lanes flowing since the per item rate is likely slower.

You are working overtime to refuse to see it. I should check “graciousness” at the door because I am not on the store payroll, according to you. (And I bet you are one of the many assholes I have to pick up after because you decide you don’t want something so you will leave a package of, say, hamburger, in the cereal aisle, thinking “someone else will pick this up, it’s not my job”.)

You are a “it’s not my job, fuck everybody else” kind of person. Probably just leaves the cart wherever in the parking lot too.

Ontario no longer has those to save Gaia.
Or plastic straws. Assholes.

I no longer recycle anything so I'm ahead in terms of screw or saving Gaia.

313 >>Self checkouts only work in high trust systems.

They replaced Checkers with Assistants / Anti-Theft Personnel.

It was always a stupid plan.
Dumber still that they sought to replace a learned behaviour with inconvenience rather than savings as the motivation.

NASA and JPL have been playing with helicopters. For Mars. You may remember that little Ingenuity test helicopter they played around with. They're wanting to do more. Only problem is, Mars' atmosphere is so thin, the blades have to spin fast, and the speed of sound is a big problem. Well, they managed to get rotor blades over Mach 1 (under Martian atmosphere conditions):

332 I usually pay with a credit card when I do groceries. Sometimes I pay with cash. When I do, they always run a special pen over my bills to see if they are counterfeit. I always make a point of holding up the bills they give in change (anything over $1) to check the watermark.

Unless the reduction in wages and benefits for several fewer employees help keep the prices you pay at the checkout down.
But most people don't see that cost and consider it "non-existant"

When the cost of wages (or increased benefits and compliance costs) go up, there is something called "deadweight loss". This is a reaction by a customer service side of a business to reduce the costs to compensate for the increased cost of doing business. It is shown by reduced customer experience jobs and services.
This is why there are no long gas pump attendants, or box boys or clean bathrooms, aisles, and landscaping for places that used to be pretty nice and now tend to look grim.
The alternative is to raise prices on goods and services, and unfortunately most places the customers are very sensitive on pricing, and move to cheaper brands or cheaper stores.

Posted by: Kindltot at May 11, 2026 07:36 PM (rbvCR)

342 Self checkout and self-serve pumps are a victim of minimum wage, minimum benefit, and compliance costs above the price of goods. Most retail places operate on a razor thin margin with little tolerance for jacking prices up
