-It is a fact that Wal Mart moved into Bixby.
-It is a fact that shortly there after, a large number of the small
privately owned retailers (Mom and Pop shops if you will) located in
and near the town closed up shop and ceased to operate as a business
entity.
-It is a fact, that less than 5 years after opening, Wal Mart pulled
up stakes and left.

Those are the facts.

No, those are your _claims_. Substantiate them, and I'll agree they're facts.

Here is the meaning of fact should you choose to read it...

Don't lecture me on the meaning of the word "fact" when you yourself
are clearly unable to distinguish it from the word "claim".
