Remember when Dick’s Sporting Goods was a significant retailer of firearms? Then they awoke, first prohibiting the sale of the most popular self-defense long guns, as well as the magazines that feed them. They even destroyed their goods rather than returning them to the distributors.
Unbelievable! Dick's Sporting Goods reported a 23% drop in profit despite sales increasing 3.6% in the Q2.
Why?
Retail theft. Criminals are just walking out of stores with merchandise with zero consequences.
Retailers across the board have seen a 26.5% increase in…

They began phasing out weapons entirely not long after, costing the corporation a quarter of a billion (with a ‘b’) dollars. Simultaneously, when they turned their backs on gun owners, they began supporting organizations such as Black Lives Matter and others that advocate for “defunding the police.”
With guns largely removed from their stores, they now face a new problem: theft. Dick’s “shrinkage” – a charming, politically acceptable term for retail crime and larceny – appears to be losing the corporation a lot of money. Indeed, it resulted in a more than 25% drop in the company’s stock price on Tuesday after the company warned of failed sales targets.
That’s not good.
It was the greatest drop in the super-woke retailer’s share price ever. Nobody is buying shares at the new (much) lower price:
ZeroHedge reports on this “terrible” news:
Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. shares plunged 24% at the cash session open — the most on record — because of “shrinkage.”
Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. shares crashed Tuesday in premarket trading in New York after the largest sporting goods retailer cut its full-year profit forecast due to rampant thefts at stores nationwide.
Dicks reported $2.82 per share in adjusted profit for the second quarter, which ended in July, on sales of $3.22 billion. Analysts tracked by Bloomberg estimated $3.81 per share on $3.24 billion – a sizable miss.
Dick’s blamed “elevated inventory shrinkage” for it missing its earnings guidance (from the ZeroHedge story):
…our Q2 profitability was short of our expectations due in large part to the impact of elevated inventory shrink, an increasingly serious issue impacting many retailers.
And the story closed with this.
There was also a report from Bloomberg that Dick’s plans to fire 250 corporate employees in a cost-savings move.
No doubt the company’s virtue-signaling corporate leadership who decided they’d rather side with Black Lives Matter and “defund the police” social justice warriors over America’s hard-working gun owners won’t be among those who are canned.
The soaring thefts at Dick’s stores seem less shocking when considering that The DICK’s Sporting Goods Foundation and its partner The Beyond Sport Foundation have “supported the protests to ensure that black lives matter.” Many of these social justice protests have championed the call to defund the police. Now, years into this grand experiment of progressive utopia, the blowback of these failed policies is wreaking havoc, with out-of-control thefts at retailers nationwide.
As the saying goes, “wake up or go broke.” Choose civilian disarmament over traditional Americans who support law and order and gun rights, and then scratch your head (and other places) as you try to explain what occurs when your business is hammered by criminals taking your products.
Dick’s shrinkage is never desirable. Hopefully, you haven’t invested your retirement assets in the company.

Who else is sick and tired of the woke agenda being shoved down our throats daily?
You know what makes it even worse is that we are funding it with our dollars.
Yep, and it stinks.
Every day we are fighting the culture war that is destroying our nation and when we go to the store we are funding it with our dollars.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way and I am so excited to find alternatives.
The only “catch”?
It’s Invite only.
Good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!).
Yep! I would not make a suggestion if I wasn’t going to hook you up.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here and tell them SASSY sent you:
It’s the real deal for sure, and since it is invite only and does not run like other corrupt conglomerates they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast.
We need to stop sending our dollars to the corporations that hate us and want to see us gone!
Remember the Georgia Guidestones?
They literally told us they wanted to reduce us from 8 billion people on Earth down to only 500 million.
No big deal, right?
Just an elimination of 94% of all people living right now.
And yet we continue to shop at their big stores and send them our money because until now we’ve had little choice.
Well, today that changes.
It’s time to “ditch and switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.
What if I told you instead of sending your money to Jeff Bezos and Costco and Walmart, you could shop at the LAST pro-America, freedom-loving, American designer, manufacturer, and shipper of all the stuff you buy each month?
Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER?
Yes, for real.
And what if I told you this is the best-kept secret you’ve never heard of before, but that this company has been doing this for the last 37 years?
And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America?
(a list I one day hope to make myself!)
All of that is real and I’m so excited to tell you about it and I hope you’ll join the MISSION with me.
Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered up with on this mission:
Sound good to anyone else?
Me too!
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years, and it works great.
Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the Big Corporations put in their products to weaken you?
To wear you down?
To make you — and your family — sick?
Because then when you get sick you’ll buy their drugs!
Sorry folks, I don’t play that game and neither does my family.
We’re talking about the LAST all-natural, grass-fed, no-hormal, massive beef cattle ranch in the United States….
Sound good?
We’re talking fluoride-free toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!
What novel concepts, right?
Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do NOT have your best interest at heart:
It’s an ILLUSION of choice.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
As I said, it’s Invite Only and the invite is entirely free!
In fact, I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in.
Folks, we don’t have many strongholds left.
This is one.
And I’m all in.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here:
Tell them Sassy sent you and I promise you will get a personal call or text. If you want an email make sure you use one where one of the team members can get in touch with you.
Don’t freak out when you do.
And make sure you tell them you are interested in the Black Angus beef!
I know I tend to get concerned when I get messages from numbers I don’t recognize, but if you request a Free Invite (Link here: you WILL have someone from my Inner Circle reach out to you….so be ready!
These are awesome people and I think you’ll love getting a chance to talk with them.
And they’ll help get you all set up.
Someone will personally call or text you from my team so please be polite.
They are patriots just like you!
