There was always a strong suspicion the woke corporations were holding back negative employment intentions until after the midterm elections.
Well, as expected, the U.S. multinationals are starting to announce advanced downsizing.
(CNBC) – Tens of thousands of tech workers have been laid off within days, as tech giants including Meta, Twitter, Salesforce and others shed headcount going into the final stretch of the year. At least 20,300 U.S. tech workers were let go from their jobs in November, and more than 100,000 since the beginning of the year, according to Layoffs.fyi, which tracks layoffs in the field.
Tech workers reported huge drops in confidence in their job security through the summer, as news of layoffs, hiring freezes and rescinded offers put a damper on what’s so far been a worker-driven Covid pandemic recovery.
But the latest headlines are all converging at once as businesses course-correct on over-hiring and acknowledge how rising interest rates are thwarting their growth plans, says ZipRecruiter chief economist Julia Pollak. (more)
Nov 11 (Reuters) – Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) is planning to freeze hiring and cut some jobs as it strives to move the Disney+ streaming service to profitability against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Friday.
Chief Executive Bob Chapek sent the memo to Disney’s leaders, saying the company is instituting a targeted hiring freeze and anticipates “some small staff reductions” as it looks to manage costs. (read more)
As noted by Yahoo News, a “wave of layoffs” has begun that encompasses dozens of medium and large corporations [SEE HERE].
The layoffs, outlined in Yahoo, cover real estate, tech companies, banking, finance, automakers, EV startups, and brick and mortar stores like 7-11 and GAP. It should not come as a surprise, but it is sad to see, nonetheless.
Within the economy, a great pretending can only last so long… then reality hits.
The skilled trades should likely end up in the best employment situation, with the tech sector the worst. Service industries are also one of the first sectors hit when employment becomes an issue.
With rising interest rates, high inflation, excessive inventories, a shrinking production economy, extreme energy costs and diminished disposable income as a result of inflation and gas prices, there was going to come a time when it all starts to congregate. 2023 looks to be the year when economic pretenses collapse under the weight of having to admit a recession exists.
Fake Elections Great Again
Fake Elections Harm America
An open question to the subjects of this dictatorship: so how does it feel to be played the fool? Trump can’t help us now. There is no cavalry coming to the rescue. The lifeboat that – maybe, might be – Florida can’t hold all of us. It was theft. It stolen, again.
Disgusted.
Staying in my very red state in cold country. No interest in FL.
All the lifeboats on the SS USSA have been sabotaged below the waterline, well before Captain “Queeg” Biden took over the helm.
Betsy, what hope there may be is in the following–by order of preferred priority:
The Texas Governor’s election results suggest strong backing within border states for direct state action at the border.
If Kari Lake is elected, I expect an epic battle with the Feds.
Kari WAS elected just like PDJT, the question becomes the counting of the Ballots….they count fraudulent and true ballots the SAME
The DOJ will imprison her. Wanna bet?
They’re gonna indict Trump, so no, I wouldn’t take that bet with your money. But if it did happen, it would likely precipitate open season on the feds.
It would be a bridge too far for the regime.
Uh Oh Max my friend, you went there……Que the Apoplexia
I know there is a line that can’t be crossed, I just don’t know where it is and when–or if–the dark forces of the regime will cross it.
They keep getting closer don’t they.
Pandora’s box.
They may indict him, it does not make him ineligible to become POTUS for a third time.
Me too. And as the one below states, she IS governor and she is moving forward acting as governor of Arizona. The voting is done, the counting will catch up.
Look Maximus, I’m in the reddest of red States (Florida) right now in terms of governance. I’ve expressed on these pages before my curiosity as to how my Governor has been allowed to run rampant without interference from the GOP or the Federal government. And it looks like Sundance has provided the answer. We are so f*****.
Look at this article Betsy put on another article last night.
Once you understand who your governor is, you’ll see why he runs free.
Note too towards the bottom who Casey DeSantis works for and who the three top owners of the company are.
This is an excellent article.

I haven’t read it, I personally feel “snake”, my mind is un-changeable, undeniably, made up.
Look on the bright side star. Enjoy the advantages he is bringing to the state. You know where they are coming from so no naive surprises. Thrive as an example of how states can be. Do what you can to keep him there. You are more fortunate than not. Soviets went easy on Poland/Solidarity. Poles thanked them out of existence. Do the same for the Dem Coms.
Options 2 and 3.
There will only be one MAGA governor if Lake is allowed to prevail. Maybe two with Lombardo?
Or, we can demand an end to covid emergency health declarations for a pandemic that never was and end the excuse for mass mail-in ballot harvesting before all Uniparty Governors permanently make it the “New Normal and before the cabal manufactures the next pandemic.” Would do wonders in 2024
Lombardo was behind the Vegas massacre coverup..so no.
gosh darn!
I forgot, Sarah Huckabee makes a solid 2
Wow, really? First I heard that…not good
Ah yes….the Troubles. I was resident in the UK for much of them, funded in large part by Americans who had no idea what they were donating their money for…the human cost was terrible. But in the end, those who perpetrated bombings and the deaths of innocents got what they wanted. One of the Sinn Fein players, Martin McGuiness, murderer, eventually became Northern Ireland Education Minister.
One can only hope that your first option is the one which occurs. Which is as it constitutionally should be.
Almighty God help us all, Maximus, if it comes to your second scenario.
We desperately need everyone to realize that there is only one viable option and that is to hold accountable on a personal one-on-one level all those who are supporting this evil. Social, family, personal pressure on neighbors, family, and every other person we are in daily contact with is how this will change. That’s the only way this will really change.
If not that solution then what you describe is the path we are on. One evil will be exchanged for another.
I have given this so much thought, SK. It is becoming undeniable that the 2020 voter fraud has been perfected. They got away with it, and the courts even unto the Supreme Court REFUSED to hear any evidence. They refused to entertain any cases.
The Court of last resort turned their unworthy backs on this Republic.(with the honourable exceptions of Thomas and Alito). They might as well have stood up in their black robe and screamed with one voice, “LET IT BURN!”
And that was the message delivered to every democrat in every blue state. They understand now that anything goes,
whatever illegal, corrupt procedures they employ, they will never be challenged or charged, or held to account…our voting system is now designed so that a moral people will never see another honest election.
Having said that, I firmly believe it doesn’t matter what we do collectively or individually when it comes to elections which have national implications…i.e for Congress.It sickens me to say that. Nobody has our backs, though many strong and fearless people (Mike Lindell, Catherine Englebrecht are only two) have stood the gap and risked everything to cleanse the system legally, according to the Constitution.
If there is any chance to recover what has been stolen, the only way I see its happening is for this country to collapse. For the pain and devastation to be so severe and existential that those who vote for their own misery (and ours) and potential demise will join with the rest of us. What I haven’t worked out is join us in what?
And there I am stumped.
It’s all very well to project where this is going or where it will end up; and I pray it isn’t the worst place we could go.
At this point, I feel we simply can only take one day at a time, one step at a time, and pray to Almighty God that He will, in His mercy, shows us the way to resolve what seems to unresolvable.
Catherine Austin Fitts is correct. We have to start within our communities and hold those in office accountable if we are going to make any progress. Such progress will not be quick. But that is where we begin, as you said. Gotta start somewhere…at home. Almighty God be with us.
One more thing….
Each one of us must find our individual courage and learn to say “No” when we are ordered to comply. One word, that’s all. Each time we say it to some little jobsworth is one mighty step in the right direction.
I can’t wait to do it.
👍 👍
Yes to what you said, however,
The individual pushback has been absent. 100 million of us needed to say no to the muzzles when they were first introduced; had we done so we would not be at this point now. But we are here now, and we start each moment where we’ve arrived already. The answer remains the same, we need to push back at the individual level. Raging about the far-off rulers who are beyond our personal reach doesn’t change things, but refusing to associate with the petty tyrant next door will. Not only do we need to reject evil from our own lives, we need to demand the same of anyone who we will deem friend (or family).
I don’t see any other solution that won’t involve submission or violent rebellion. Neither of those is acceptable. and neither will change the root problem. If we overthrow every last ruling tyrant – from local health bully to His Fraudulent- we will have changed nothing if we still tolerate that same behavior in our personal relationships.
All of the other steps need to go on also, but they are all useless if we don’t change the mindset of those closest to us. People who are willing to be part of the evil, who are gleeful to “win” despite the certainty that the elections are rigged and that the messages from on high are all lies, offer no positive value in our lives. But rejecting those people is the step that most people are unwilling to take. The personal commitment and discomfort of telling family, friends, co-workers or anyone we know that they are no longer a welcome part of our life because they rejoice in evil is difficult, it’s personal, it requires communication fraught with angst.
We cannot change evil on a large scale until we confront it personally on an individual scale. How will crime (as one example) ever be rejected by society if it’s accepted by us individually? Using that example of crime, we will never see a reduction in stolen cars if we are not willing to personally confront the kid we know who shows up day after day with a stolen bicycle. Yes, it’s extremely intrusive and even frightening to become the mom for everyone else, the one person speaking from a position of moral authority. But it must happen or we will not see positive change. And if that confrontation means that our brother is not welcome ever again in our home until he stops his kid from stealing bicycles then that’s how morality works, how societal pressure works. It’s always hard on everyone when a few are unwilling to be civilized.
What we have is a nation, it seems an entire global society, of spoiled brats all demanding their way. We have been accommodating their temper tantrums for generations, and now they expect the toy and the candy every time they go into a store. Well the sad reality is that it won’t change until we’re all willing to stand up and say “Then nobody gets to go to the party because Tommy and Susie are being brats”. Anyone who has actually raised children knows that there is a time when it’s much easier to give in and let them have their way, but those who have raised decent human beings learned somewhere that it’s always worse if you do give in, that the bad behavior will repeat and worsen.
We can reject evil and those engaged in it on a personal level, with great personal discomfort but without need of violence (on our part), or we will surely be left with the binary choice to either submit or to violently rebel. And honestly, anyone who can’t face up to their own circle of associates to demand accountability is not going to miraculously someday find a spine to man the ramparts and rebel. Nobody who lacks the moral conviction and personal strength to reject evil in those they deal with daily is ever going to have our backs when things get harder.
Betsy I know you and I are on the same page here, we’ve discussed this before. But I need 100 million more who I can trust to have my back. I need to know that on every block, in every social setting, in every situation I will not be the only person willing to condemn evil. I’ve been working this task and it’s lonely out here. Yes, I get private encouragement from others who agree that “it needed to be said” or “good for you for standing up” but where are they when it’s time to stand up? Why is it such an impossible burden for them to just stand together and say “no more stolen bicycles”?
One final thought (sure, it’s never my final word) – As you know Betsy, once you take that step to say “no more stolen bicycles” you will find that it won’t kill you, your world won’t crumble, the lack of a thief at the holiday party won’t ruin your year and it’s easier to say it the next time and the next time. Once we confront evil on a personal level, meaning open rejection of those doing harm (whether stolen bicycles, stolen elections, censoring us, trying to jab us with poison, etc.) the next time it’s much easier to say no. That first time telling little Tommy that his tantrum means that not only doesn’t he get the candy but now nobody gets to be at the zoo today, that first time being the adult in the relationship is the hardest.
Boy….what an awesome third paragraph to a well written post, SK.
And I say this because I came so close to adding that after the first “No” it gets easier. That all important first one eases the way for more.
The other point you made about turning the “Karen”, the one who costs the rest of the group everything, into the pariah, with all the anger directed at the one who causes the loss of whatever, is something I’ve long subscribed to, especially, for example, in a classroom. It’s a brilliant use of psychology.
I am in complete agreement with you about the numbers we need to make despots understand no means no. And this is where I realize the seemingly impossibility of task ahead of us. I continue to be shocked at the level of apathy, born of complete ignorance, of people in this country. Chronological adults but in no other way.
If they shop or drive or use credit cards, surely they can see and feel (I say to myself) the impact of the intentional life destroying policies inflicted on everybody. But the inability to connect the blindingly clear dots, to think critically… or most likely to not think at all…is profoundly unfathomable to me.
So that’s why I say until our country gets to the state where they, too, are suffering, then all we can do (as you are doing) is tackle the person standing next to us. And yes, it is a daunting and discouraging task. Unfortunately as the rate our fall (not decline) is picking up speed, the time will come when no life will be untouched by the satanic evil of the monsters in positions of power. I think it will happen, perhaps suddenly.
What cataclysmic event may come to knock all of us off our feet, I can’t say and don’t want to imagine (though believe me my imagination has taken me to many dark places). God help us we don’t reach those depths.
We can’t force people to see what they don’t want to see, more’s the pity. So all that can be done, SK, is keep on keeping on, gently but relentlessly putting that seed of realization into them. It may take a while to germinate, but I honestly think the day will come when your efforts will bear fruit. That’s all you can do, frustrating as it is to see the reactions or nonreactions now.
Word salad over. Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet. We are of like mind absolutely. I hear every word you wrote. My philosophy is that every big change starts with a small one, the ones we are personally responsible for. Look how long it took for the “march through the institutions”, begun in the 60s, to culminate in everything that we endure today.
I expect the ship’s righting its course will take just as long. We simply do what we can where we are and trust that Someone always has our backs. Which He does.
Blessings always, my friend. Bet
Yes, the first no is the hardest. And the truth is that I do see progress on the personal front, not as fast or far as I want, but progress. I don’t yet see any repentance from those who should be turning from evil although I do see that they are uncomfortable, really uncomfortable as a direct result of having been called out for their evil deeds. Even one lone voice denying them the pretense of not knowing what they do is enough to make them squirm. Also I do see tired resignation in those who haven’t turned to evil, resignation that there can no longer be any common ground with the evil-doers. Unfortunately that resignation is still at a passive stage, the decent people still walk away from the conflict rather than confront it head-on. That’s changing though. Of course that’s part and parcel of the urgency by Satan and his minions to accelerate their agenda, they see the resistance rising. It’s a race, sometimes a sprint but mostly a long long race.
For me the undeniable sign that we were in serious end-times was the yellow stars. When the face diapers came out I knew without a doubt that we were not going to avoid this conflict. Up until that time I was like so many of us, just trying to get by, keep my focus on what I can do to make my corner of the world better and hope that eventually the world will come to it’s senses. The yellow stars (masks) and the glee with which most of the population embraced them was soul-shattering.
Since that awakening I’ve searched for the solution that doesn’t involve violent civil war. The only solution is what we are discussing, personal one-on-one social pressures. The US civil war should be fresh enough to teach us that much. The violent imposition of one will over another (whichever side you believe in) didn’t resolve the underlying discontinuity of moral beliefs. The Klan, Jim crow, and the rest stem directly from the failure to directly change the underlying moral code.
I think enough understand that what was tried with the plan to subjugate us all vis a vis the deadly and sterilizing poison they wanted in every arm has failed, as the effects of the horrific beastly jab become more apparent. That so many actually trusted agencies which told lie after hideous lie was a shock to me. The effort to shame those who knew better didn’t work either. I’m in the “sticks and stones” brigade.
The yellow stars, as you so brilliantly and accurately label those masks which themselves were laden with all sorts of infectious agents, were horrific..and I believe they intend to try again with that one. NY and California have already indicated they intend to once more. If it is tried here in Texas, my answer will be a definite “no”.
Just so you know, in case you haven’t seen all the particulars, RSV (i.e. the common cold which has been around forever) is being hawked as the new deadly threat to children. Story after story tells of how hospitals are “overrun” with desperately sick children. Same script as covid.
But miracle of miracles here comes a new MRNA vaxxxxxine by Pfizer to take care of that. They want it in pregnant women and children, God help us.
That is their target population now, and this time they’ve picked a virus everyone will have or has had, and they are ramping up the fear factor as fast as they can. Look for the murderous FDA and the CDC to put that on the list of required vaxxxxxes for children, and if you have young children, or know people who do, SK, please alert them that what didn’t kill them or the children the first time has mutated and is trying again.
Are we in end times? It certainly feels exactly like that. We have no way of knowing of course. God’s plan is guaranteed. Whether this is a wakeup call or whether we are there?
But I do believe we are headed down some very dark unavoidable roads. All we can do is our Paul Revere best where we are. Where we end up is a frightening thing to contemplate. Praying Almighty God will show us the way, and that He has not withdrawn his favour towards us, a nation which has become rudderless and depraved. 🙏
All blessings to you and all your family, SK. Keep the faith and do what you can, knowing you are in no way alone. Bet (to my friends here😉)
A sobering and truthful post. Thank you Betsy.
So welcome, my friend. I hope all is well with you.
Hear, hear. Nothing you’ve stated is untrue and you have obviously searched for a path to take towards a solution like many of us have also explored within our minds and hearts.
I think God will reveal His Plans in due time.
On His unknowable timetable, His Will be done!
Amen, GB. He will. As I read elsewhere…”God is not in a hurry. You are.”
…and then this…
“Unrush yourself.”
Exactly right, though very hard to do. We are exhorted to be patient,which I will admit is not my strong suit and never has been.
Patience and faith are inseparable. So whatever His plan is and knowing it will be accomplished, we wait, trusting that He has things in hand….on His timetable, as you rightly say. All blessings to you, GB.
Great response Maximus.
The Green New Deal sure behaves like a rogue Great White Whale
The insane fantasies of power mad, God denying lunatics. Human beings are just so much detritus to them.
Exactly. There will never be a cavalry coming. They’ve succeeded in controlling the voting outcome of the West Coast, most of the East Coast and several North States. Now they are working on closing the walls inward and fully corrupting the non coastal states. PA has fallen, OH, WI, AZ and GA are in the process of falling. Within 10 yrs TX and FL will have succumbed to the bs lawfare ballot harvest corruption w the assistance of the Rino DC wall street class. The entire system is corrupted for the world to see.
You are the cavalry.
Get in the fight.
There are millions of us who believe in winning and we’ll not let this deter us.
Stay positive or you’re just playing into the enemies hands.
We have God on our side and when there’s a Will there’s a way.
👍
With all due respect, Chooseamerica, what are the many millions of Patriots to DO, other than pray to that God on our side?
There are literally thousands of Patriots for one who can’t use to work with Mike Lindell and True the Vote in every state. They’re fighting against menacing forces with regards to the mules, drop boxes , voter registration., cleaning up voter rolls.
Others are working on a local, state level to get into local Republican organizations.
Some are working to clean up the school boards.
There are all kinds of different opportunities to get involved.
John, something else.
We all have different strengths and we need to fight using them because we’ll be more effective,
There are a lot of intelligent people on this site and some do great work researching the web to give us all more insight into different aspects of this whole corrupt phenomenon. It expands on Sundance’ phenomenal knowledge.
We’re better street fighters if we’re well informed.
Our job is to then become do’ers. That’s where the winning comes from.
Back around 2010-2014, there was a push to not aggressively treat patients who were dying in the ICU yet not a full DNR. Especially if the wallet biopsy was “negative” for quality insurance. I figured out what Obamacare was–‘medicare for all’.
Well, Aggiegirl subscribed to the Nightingale Pledge about 45 years ago when I got my “cap” and repeated it when I got my “pin”…and
my own personal pledge of “not on my watch”!
Street fighter? This gal has roots in Queens, NY (before moving boundaries), Texas, Charleston, Scots/Irish, Kiwi, and Central America….my children have roots to the Founding Fathers….Am an “American Mutt”…with multiple personalities!
Where do I sign up?
This.
Retired Magistrate here: No, Ohio is not in the process of falling. We cleaned up our voter records several years ago and the libs to Ohio to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ohio won. Other states would have followed suit due to the precedent set by Ohio but to my knowledge other states didn’t.
Are we fraud free; probably not. But don’t put Ohio in the same category as Georgia or Arizona. Our votes were tabulated and posted by 11:00 P.M. on election and Ohio just passed a constitutional amendment that you have to be a citizen to vote. So, Ohio is doing something to prevent us from turning into Pennsylvania, Georgia or Arizona.
Thanks Marcia, your comment is important. And true.
Up thread, it was mentioned that the coasts have been conquered and that TPTB are now basically focusing on flyover country.
What is disturbing to me….that a large segment of society, especially the indoctrinated younger voters, seem to have no problem with the lying, cheating and stealing that has been going on for a long, long time with in the politics of this once great nation.
Public schools and the colleges/universities are chock full of conmunists. So the indoctrination and dumbing down has been rampant.
Civics isn’t taught anymore as that would mean young folks would understand their duties as citizens of the Republic.
Florida is being rapidly overdeveloped as well as Texas. They to will fall victim to the cause. As a Floridian for over twenty years I’m overwhelmed by the uncontrolled growth. Four story apartments going up everywhere. Brings tears to my eyes.
I thank God every day that I am old and I pray that the free state of FL remains free until I’m gone.
Huge mega monster condo’s with sky high association fees driving people out. I had family in FL…they got out, except for two. One has an IQ of about 80 and has a mentally challenged child with a FL felon. The other is also welfare class.
I was in Boynton Beach two years ago…at my old favorite restaurant, called The Banana Boat. I was heartbroken at the over building and congestion, in that area….
On a side note…the number of Trump yachts cruising the Intracoastal, was awesome!
50 years ago, over development of Florida was a problem…and the high rises along the beach…residents were locked out of the beaches because they had in many instances, become private property.
Nope. Scratch Ohio off that list. It is a solid red after the last election due to grassroots working on the ground, a good legislature passing laws, Republican leaning courts and executive branch.
Ppl in that state worked hard for the last couple of years and, despite the re-election of DeWine, have done very well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Keep in mind – No state is ever more than one election or (best case) two elections away from being flipped. The totalitarian fraudsters are well-funded, resourceful and determined.
It requires constant vigilance on our part.
Exactly. No slacking off or resting on laurels. This work has been ongoing since before the 2016 cycle.
I agree, but as long as the current trend continues, we’re one election away and the cheating has continued unabated. The founders are rolling over in their graves as we let this happen. God bless America.
This is why it is all such a mess now. We were not paying attention.
The fraud is all over, including in my little red central state. Harder to catch the Republicans- but we have proof it’s been happening here for years. Difficult to catch because no media or politicians will touch it.
Never forget this goes on until you and me stop it, no other way too late for that now.
We went to Iceland last week. Once people figured out we were from the US, there were questions and much snickering about our affairs and the installed head of state. The world is laughing at us.
Of course, the world is laughing at us. Do you really think they do not realize that Joe has dementia and is most certainly not the acting POTUS? The UK, Australia and New Zealand speak English and the rest of the world has translators. His gaffes are both visible (shaking hands with ghosts) and audible – mixing up a city in Iraq for a place in Ukraine this week.
Quitters never win.
Winners always win.
Choose a different attitude; find the fight in you and join those of us on Trump’s team.

I remain on the Trump Train with WeThePeople … the RINORAT mail in ballots & computer vote theft will derail our train.

There are not millions of them.

This idea that Florida is the only red state in the nation is nonsense. South Carolina state offices are all red, my county is mostly red and the 6 of the 8 school board members elected for my district are anti-CRT. We appreciate all that Florida and other red states do to preserve this nation. It would just be nice to see an acknowledgement that Florida is not the only state fighting the good fight.
Tennessee is RED. My county, Hawkins, is redder than red. I love it here. We moved from Florida.
We live in the tiniest of towns and while it is a farming community we live in a small neighborhood where everyone has an acre plot. Neighbors are wonderful.
had a huge garden this year and a couple of chickens that lay beautiful eggs.
Went to the grocery store today,which is a 20 minute drive, and it was stocked full with beautiful produce.
Turkeys were $1.69lb.
Our electric is inexpensive because we are hydro and nuclear.
Florida is not the be all and end all state. There are more affordable places to live.
Turkey was .98 cents a pound in my burg in SD. Buying a quarter of beef from family. Garden stuff canned and frozen. Fruit picked and frozen or jams and jellies. Great neighbors. No thanks, FL.
I have a friend that took her RV down to Tennessee a couple years ago. They loved it there. She said the only thing that keeps her in Ohio is her kids and grandkids. I guess that’s true for lots of us. But she raved about your state and the people she met there.
South Dakota is red. WY is red. IA going even more red I think.
The RINORATS just gave America to the RATS … there will never be another fair election … 2024 will be 100% RAT.
Looks like the fraudulent narrative worked on somebody.
if any more people move to Florida, it will tip over.
More like “cave in”. Seriously, I hope these new arrivals did not skip on the sinkhole coverage in their homeowners insurance umbrella.
Or sink.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (my paraphrase)
If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.”
Our country is full of perversion and debauchery. God has taken His hand of protection off of the U.S.A. (Romans 1). I repeat 2 Chronicles 7:14 over and over again to Christians — those people spoken of in that Bible verse — and yet I wonder how many of them — how many of us — stop and humble ourselves before the only One who can truly “heal our land”?
How many Christians are praying, are fervently seeking God’s face for His discernment concerning their sins? How many of us are fervently looking for God to disclose to us the sins we clutch to our breasts and pretend we do not have?
When, if, we do that, God promises He will hear our cries for forgiveness, He will forgive His children, and then, He will heal our land.
Can we pray enough to overcome the outrage at Abortion, abortion up until birth?
IMHO, it all comes back to virtuous living taught by traditional family values based on the teachings of our Lord.
It is not about praying enough to overcome anything outside of us.
It is about praying enough to overcome the sin that lives inside us.
God does not say, ‘Keep praying until I hear your cries for the babies who are being murdered.’ God knows before they are conceived that they will be murdered. He knows the number of hairs of their heads and the number of days here on this earth, even if they never take their first breath.
God is telling us to pray for our sins, your sins, my sins. Not the sins of others. Not the sins of the perverts trying to change the “sex” of children. Not the sins of the ghouls killing babies. Not the sins of adulterers, fornicators, thieves, homosexuals, etc., but the sins of the people we see when we look in the mirror.
It definitely comes back to the teachings of our Lord and the words given to us in 1 Chronicles 7:14.
God says, ‘If My people‘
‘Called by My name‘
‘Will humble themselves and pray’
‘Will seek My face and turn from THEIR wicked ways’
then
‘I will hear from Heaven’
‘I will forgive THEIR sins’
‘and I will heal their land.’
It is not the vague “THEM” we need to stop. It is Christians who are blind to their every day practice of sinning that God is talking to.
If we are talking about how to Make America Great Again there is no better verse in the Bible that directly answers that question. Because if we follow God’s word, He will heal our land.
Typical , no surprise there ( remember Saudi oil news story ) But regardless. , it wouldn’t have made any difference if happened before – the ballots were already baked …Mixing metaphors ….
And… the Uniparty-D is going to be blaming the Uniparty-R for the economy, timed for the seating of the next Congress.
Meanwhile they will setup for the next cycle of abuse.
Yeah of course they’ll do that. Not a surprise.
So, let everybody in your acquaintance know this will happen.
Get ahead of Pravda Media. We have to be our own media.
I’ll pass the word through my contacts, to ones who’ll listen. Count on it.
It’s all Trumps fault

I always believed it was called “Election Day” for a reason…not Election Days or Election Weeks.
Now it’s selection season.
R F Burns: All by design. The process of elections has subsumed the purpose of elections.
It has the stench of lawfare about it.
I so dislike administrative law, typified by these bureaucracies for that reason.
The Fall is Harvest Time followed by Thanksgiving. Once the leftists learned how to harvest ballots … they’ve been giving Thanks to Satan who taught them to cheat.
And now we are watching the FALL of our nation …
The traitor at the gate, wears his badge openly….it is the traitor within we must fear and be wary of.
Sundance,
I keep seeing you point to Zelensky and DeSantis. I get that you are implying both are backed by global corporatist. But other than Pushaw, how did the team maneuver Zelenski like they are managing DeSantis?
I am trying to see the strings your pointing out. But, I feel I am missing something bigger. Can you be a tad bit clearer on the connections?
Thanks
I don’t know, but in my puny little brain it seems like the strings are being played the other way.
Zelensky is the bag man for the cabal, and it is a bag full of disgusting filth.
There is no ” war in Ukraine ”
Without a doubt … Zelensky has been delivering Oscar-worthy performances. Ukraine is mostly make believe … except the death is real … it’s not CGI
We are all expendable in this Great Reset to New World Order
Fake war in Ukraine will have innocent casualties just as the fake pandemic has. But the conflict itself is staged.
It is high time to cut off his ‘alimony’.
Well look here, Zelensky got THE award for his performance.
Can’t unsee.
fake pandemic = election fraud.
fake war in Ukraine = inflation.
Manufactured Crisis = Emergency Declarations and the removal of our liberty.
They are both bagging the bucks?
I’m not answering for Sundance, of course. But, I found this rather interesting. I just started searching for friends and people who have worked for DeSantis.
Gov. DeSantis’ Press Secretary previously worked for former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.
Christina Pushaw, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Press Secretary, registered as a foreign agent who worked on behalf of a Ukrainian politician.

Seems a bit odd but earlier today I saw a commercial for Disney World. They were advertising “We’re Hiring”. ??
They may indeed be looking for low wage theme park workers, but hiring freezes and layoffs also happening throughout the company.
Yep.
“Get Woke, Go Broke: Disney to Begin Mass Layoffs and Freeze Hiring as Part of a Massive Cost-Cutting Initiative”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/go-woke-go-broke-disney-begin-mass-layoffs-implements-hiring-freeze-part-massive-cost-cutting-initiative/
Now is the time to re-evaluate any ideas of a Disney vacation. Or Disney toys. Or Disney clothing.
We can help things along a bit, no?
I’ve been being inundated from ads professing to be from Disney offering “data entry jobs starting at [alternately] $28/32 an hour.” They’re scams designed to draw people in and access their bank accounts.
Advertising replays for contracts already paid. Doubt if they are new.
I could use the work but I wanna keep my balls.
Bienvenidos Venezuelan muchachos … now don’t touch the children there. Por favor

And once Biden depletes the strategic oil reserve, Sundance previously predicted $7.00/gallon gas on the horizon.
The only thing helping right now is China doing insane lockdown and self sabotaging their economy somewhat the last 6 months.
If their demand for oil increases, the price will quickly rise.
This just struck me, but what if China has been doing lockdowns to keep the demand for oil down to help The Big Guy? Now that the midterms are over, maybe they will stop the lockdowns and oil demand will grow exponentially, and ultimately the price of fossil fuels go through the roof thus achieving the demise of the West.
I could never understand why China has been doing these horrible lockdowns. Maybe this may be part of the reason.
China is doing lock downs to prevent their people from rioting. The failure of Evergrande is having an on-going domino impact across many industries and many people. It is the same impact that a major pension default would have here.
That’s $9-10/gal here in scal
Costco Fullerton $4.79
Always has a huge long line of cars, non-stop.
Gas prices already jumped after the phony election.
That would be great. All those single women who voted to kill babies and for the government to be their husband won’t be able to afford to shop or buy groceries.
Good, being human I dont hope for the worst, but tech sector layoffs dont bothet me very much. Learn to machine parts contributing to society rather than censoring truth to affect elections(“learning code”)
Being a retired coal miner and seeing the damage these Communist tech sector, climate change useful idiots did to the WV coalfield communities and economy, it doesn’t bother me at all either. Sorry, not sorry.
When technies were riding high on their Commie egos, coal miners getting laid off in droves with their communities being crushed, were essentially laughed at and smugly told to “learn to code”. Most used their useful skills to transform into new careers in construction trades, truck drivers, linemen/electricians, etc. It’s looking like “learn to code” wasn’t very good advice from these cynical, self important drones.
The regime eliminates jobs with a stroke of a pen, uprooting people’s lives and forcing them to move or retrain themselves to, yet again, supplicate to the regime and support it.
In reality, every last one of us who works supports and nourishes the regime. It’s one thing when government works for us. It’s quite another when they attack us and kill us.
Since my last post on this topic was deleted as too graphic, I’ll leave it at that.
Most, if not all, people who work in tech are young, stupid democrat worshippers. I am happy to see them lose their incomes. I hope more of these cutbacks are headed their way. I have reached the point to we need to add “burn their crops” as part of the strategy of defeating these demons.
Don’t forget to salt their fields.
We need to salt their ballot counting and falsification.
The predictable toll of deliberate policies to destroy the country that we supposedly like so much we voted for more.
One thing I haven’t seen reported on is the downsizing or elimination of beef herds. Recieved a text yesterday from a relative who delivers diesel to farms and ranches in Nebraska. Along with his texts was a picture of his truck loaded with processed beef. Every one of customers on his delivery route was severely downsizing or eliminating large herds of beef cattle. Without exception he said,
farmers and ranchers could no longer afford to produce beef due to the costs of fuel and feed. Guessing this is just the one of many industries crashing.
Nebraska had a terrible drought this summer.
That was easy to predict when America owes $30 trillion and unfunded liability is who knows how much. Your banks are not making money, home sales are down. And Congress continues to print money like it’s water. When they continue to raise interest rates, and on the other hand our debt is so great that we cannot afford to pay it so we’re caught in a vise.
China and Russia and other countries are backing their money with gold and the United States has a Fiat currency that’s worthless it doesn’t look good for America. That’s why I’m glad that I depend on Jesus Christ and I know it’s coming soon.
The Saudis made a deal with China and Russia that oil is going to be bought with another currency other than the dollar. So the United States is sunk there is no other way unless we return back to God and this is meant for the Christians only. Are you supposed to have roughly 70 or 80 christians and only about 35 or 40% voted so I’m blaming the fake Christians.
FedGov unfunded liabilities are between $200 to $300 trillion.
Q: How many of the 100K tech workers that were laid off are caste Indians & ChiComs that’ll be going home?
A: Likely number = 0.
Wonder if they’ll vote for Xiden & his demo-commie party again?
While all the focus is on the election, I found something really weird in my online research at Library of Congress. All the images are in Chinese on some pages and when I click to view the pages they are in Chinese. So, it appears Chicoms are already rewriting our history, check it yourself.
https://www.loc.gov/search/?q=1966
The Library of Congress is supposed to contain all documents, books, etc., produced in the country. I checked a few of the images and they are stamped with 1966 dates. I was a waitress in a Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh in the mid-70ies and the Chinese owner and waiters read Chinese language newspapers produced here every day. I think these are the documents you are seeing.
Bizarre.
What is this thing you call voting?
No such thing has existed for a while now.
We’re allowed to cast a vote however not allowed to question how or if they’re counted.
The “candidate quality” has left everything to be desired for the last 5+ decades.
Yep.
Socialism are did stolen election again,
wondering why America is falling,
How can people be dumb enough to fall for this crap. That’s the question.
Low information voters who want to believe whatever they hear from “authority figures” makes up 80-90% of the population.
They’ve been indoctrinated and brainwashed washed by academia and the media.
They (radical left) control the narrative. Along with elections that we will never win the inability of the conservative message will never reach the population. The cities have the most people. An easy ballot harvest,and tight control over the voters. All works to eliminate the republicans from ever gaining control again. Matters not if these lefties have a job or get laid off. The government cheese will be delivered.
Here we go again, the government needs to save us. Expect another cycle of helicopter money and FED printing presses blowing a gasket.
So, if they can just print money out of thin air, then why do they still need our tax dollars?
Good one.
The government sector will be doing just fine though.
Don’t know about that, actually. A lot of government workers, career bureaucrats, are going to age out and retire or die. Go in any municipal or state government office and take a look at the demographics behind the desk. Hint: it’s not the Millennials paper-pushing.
And those aging government workers will retire with big fixed pensions.
All those pensions are under funded.
The state and local are in most cases. The federal workers, well they work for the government that controls the printing machines. That why we have deficits.
I have to say our Dem Governor Lamont is working on that
he is funding the under funded pensions with surplus money and
has been for a couple years..
“2023 looks to be the year when economic pretenses collapse under the weight of having to admit a recession exists.”
I think we all agree that much more than economic pretenses will collapse soon. I pray for our country and the men and women who love and fought for her.
I pray too for those who will fight for her again.
and with all the layoffs come unemployment claims.so how are they gonna try to spin the increase??well at least there should be plenty of workers to run the cash registers at all the stores hiring extra holiday help!
No one is going to take those jobs, the government will save us, enhanced unemployment payments, extended benefit periods, rent moratoriums, food stamps, they’ll do the same stuff they did for covid. Another emergency that the government creates which enables them to create more dependency and control. It’s all in the plan.
They won’t need extra help… the buying pool has nosedived.
Store hiring was not reflected in the latest numbers. Don’t count on it happening especially with all the online ordering.
The stores aren’t hiring extra holiday help. Walmart and others have been quietly laying people off and have more layoffs planned before Christmas. Who ever heard of retailers laying people off before Christmas?
Retail will collapse with massive closures after Christmas devastating the economy.
If people are Christmas shopping this year, please think about local.
Wow! I thought only defense companies did that.
I have heard the same tired mantra for months now – online and in-person and over the telephone – “nobody wants to work.” Meanwhile I know people personally who are pulling 16-hour shifts or struggling to find work. It’s not “nobody wants to work.” It’s “no managers want to hire and then they tell their overworked wage slaves nobody wants to work.”
It is not that nobody wants to work. It is that not working has not yet become painful enough.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
I know what I am talking about. Do you? I work in manufacturing in the middle of the country and have several industrial clients. They are looking for real people to do real work. I help them look and even make a few referrals. They hire people that don’t stay because it is not hard to survive unemployed.
Yes, actually, I do. Maybe take a closer look at why people are leaving. Or ‘leaving,’ as the case may be. You know you can’t collect unemployment if your employer simply reverses your key code and then claims you didn’t show up to work? DEW doesn’t investigate. They simply take the manager’s word for it.
Again. You’re at the top of the chain. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’m at a loss to understand why anyone would want to work for corporations and support government that attack us. Look what fascist corporations did, doing the government’s bidding, during Covid. One tiny example. I mean, seriously, why kill oneself to enrich a few people and support a government that’s enslaving us? Not me brother.
After 45+ years in industry and watching fascists and government ship our jobs to China and India and Asia, over and done, goodnight.
I work for corporations because they write me checks that I can use to pay my bills. I am a contract employee. I’m like a mercenary. I go in and fix a mess they have made and clean up so that no one knows what happened. It pays good and I don’t care that much about what they do with their profits as long as my checks don’t bounce and I am not abetting a crime.
I want nothing more than to work an honest job making an humble living supporting my family. But the government gives our money to dishonest wars, they tax our wages so an honest living becomes humiliating at best and then, if my pains aren’t enough, they tell me I need to take a vax and go to diversity training because I’m racist.
Plenty of people want to work…we just don’t want to do it for bastard slave drivers.
When people say they don’t understand why people don’t take jobs at $15 to 20 an hour because they could make $600-800 an hour, that’s often not true because companies don’t want to hire many of them as full- time workers because then they need to pay for healthcare. In those cases, they usually get just 22-25 hours per week.
And not even set hours they move their days and shifts constantly making it impossible for them to get a second job, go to school, or take care of kids.
Also a lot of places demand overtime and get away with not paying it because people either don’t know/refuse to stand up for themselves. Or they do and get sacked. And God help you if you ask for time off.
Yup, college student granddaughter had a heck of a time finding a summer job. All those want ads were not hiring…just running ads.
I am 63 years old and in great health. I applied for 5 desk jobs which were exactly (my knowledge) what I had done for 35 years until vaccine hysteria forced me out of my old job. Not one of them interviewed me. So when they cry about how they cannot get any help I just shrug my shoulders.
Not just your age. Nobody is accepting anyone of any age. Except Chick fil a, and last I knew, they demanded you get jabbed.
Nobody wants to work for wages that do not reflect the 20% increase in inflation – the price of living.
How could this be happening in a booming Biden economy ? Perhaps the economic numbers are as cooked as the ballots were.
It’s reported that Gen Z “voted” at close to 70% for the Democrat party. Let them reap the consequences.
Let us reap the consequences. There I fixed it for you.
Thanks to academia and the media they have brainwashed these immature useful idiots. No doubt big colleges and universities are the epicenter of these idiots voting and encouraging them to save the planet. All by design. Our country was ripe to pick for the globalist adventure.
Makes me laugh. They aren’t going to get student loan forgiveness and they won’t be able to buy a house with interest rates. And they won’t even be allowed to have a car or travel once they fully institute their climate agenda.
And unlike the rest of us they are going to get what they so richly deserve.
The one thing that you are missing is that most of the 18 to 29 year old demographic is not interested in owning things, whether they be cars, homes, etc. They are fine with renting an apartment and getting to and fro with using Uber/Lyft and can have goods and meals delivered by Amazon and Grub Hub and such.
Reported by who? How do they know? Where’d they get this sample data?
I had posted this list from a Telegram channel that I am sure took it from another source. I spot checked the figures and it looks like it is close to accurate. From November 10.

Winning! Build Back Better!
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! – Gomer Pyle
I am sure JoeBama will implement a 7 point plan to unconstitutionally bail these laid off workers much like he tried with college loans.
So the strategy of voting for the monsters hoping that they would be eaten last didn’t work.
Voting for D-Rats didn’t get them student loan forgiveness.
More restrictions on fracking and pipelines in PA after voting for D-Rats means a long hard cold winter.
The rewards for being stupid are well deserved.
When the gop-e swamp rats licked their lips with the stolen 2020 election, and the few somewhat GOP pols didn’t fight for a fair election we knew it was over.
How many H1B visa holders are there in the tech industry? Will these visas be revoked? I doubt it. Remember that these visas were issued because the tech industry swore that they had a shortage of trained people who could fill the positions. 20,300 suddenly unemployed tech workers should go a long way toward eliminating that “shortage.”
Go and ask the newly – reelected Mike Lee, he is the senator from Mumbai.
Had a hunch this was coming. To all the former Twitter employees good luck lol.
Everyone that balloted this election for DemonRats, you will be sitting in your little hovel wondering what happened.
You balloted for your own destruction. Get ready for no electricity in the middle of winter. You have proven, you are nonessential.
Only after it gets worse will these stinking libruls finally react.
Watch for services to be prioritized in the Communist strongholds of the cities and mysteriously suffer ‘problems’ in the hinterlands.
Absent direct action on the infrastructure, that’s what I see going down. It’ll all be explained away.
Good! Tech workers need to learn a bit of reality. Suffering long and hard will be good for their soul.
Oh, and LEARN TO DIG COAL!
It won’t be just multinationals.
I’m seeing serious signs of late 2008-2009 on our doorsteps
Yes, the last crash X10. A magnitude worse. As I opined after the last crash, before PDJT was elected, the next one will make the last one appear as a sunny quiet Sunday afternoon. PDJT interrupted their track. They’re back on track now.
Very similar to the Biden student loan pay back being canceled. Rumor is that the judge’s opinion was one word. “SUCKERS!”
Serious market watchers knew that layoffs were coming. The ripple effects have narely started.
And it’s no coincidence that the emptying of the strategic petroleum reserves happened to run out just as the voting was wrapping up. And now we get the diesel shortage and spike in diesel prices.
This time next year will make today look like utopia.
I think you’re spot on. And what I experienced during Carter like heaven on earth.
Watch these companies ask for and get more bailouts because they provided cover for the dRATS for sinking the economy, causing inflation. Its all a scam.
In a just and fair world, every lost job should belong to a Leftist who voted for the Democrats in the last two elections cycles…sadly, though there will also be lots of conservatives caught up in the collapse as well, especially small business owners and employees.
The delay, till after the election of these job cuts is OBVIOUS election interference. What will be done about it? I know! I know! I know! … didddly squat
i design large electric signage and architectural canopies/walkways. this might give me some security as i also straddle the tech side, having multiple tech certifications and a lot of side-work
Side work can become full time in a pinch.
Maybe runoffs like Georgia senate race will benefit. But we are dealing with vacuous airheads so probably not.
I have a suggestion for those laid off tech workers. Look in the middle of the country and learn to program the things that move real things around and not just data. If you can write software, CNC, robotics and PLC’s should be a piece of cake. You will likely not be in a big city, you will need a car (and expensive gas), and the clothes you wear to work will be made by Dickies and Red Wing. Take heart, you can buy a house for 1/2 or less and groceries are cheaper. Even taxes are lower which is good since you won’t be making as much money. Just be sure to not be an a-hole to those “dumb yokels” that will now be signing your checks.
Oh, there is one more thing. There are literally millions of new people here over the last couple of years and many of them are fine with a little dirt under their fingernails. You better get move on, because they will be getting hungry too.
My son was just in Disneyland and said that the whole park felt tired and shabby. Many rides were randomly shut down for hours due to mechanical issues and he said it will probably be a long time, if ever, before he returns. We weren’t thrilled that he gave them any business at all but it held a lot of good childhood memories for him and he wanted to see the new Stars Wars Land….now he’s seen it and realized the old “magic” just isn’t there anymore. He also said that all of the “up-charges” for things like Fast Passes (now called Lighting Lanes) were ridiculous. I think the parks are probably the only profitable sector in the company and TPTB are attempting to leverage that to prop up their other failing ventures!
Disney started letting the parks go a couple of years ago to maximize profits. The parks subsidize their media side which isn’t doing as well as it used to since they went broke and destroyed Star Wars and Disney classics.
This is going to hit Millennials and Gen Z hard, especially those who don’t have useful skills and college debt.
Since this is also a group who favored Democrat candidates, I can’t feel too sorry that they failed to see the signs and to vote accordingly.
….oh that’s a shame. They need to learn to eat the bugs.
Learn to weld.
IME, due to the big bucks in the industry, many tech people actually have learned to weld for the myriad of hobbies their comfortable lives have afforded them. They often have really nice gear, better than I had in the industrial shop I owned.
However, they have no clue what it’s like to be under the hood for hours a day, in hot and cold, running wire or rod. The heat, the smell, the assaults on their senses, the effects on their health.
Never mind the wage. Welding was why I became a machinist many decades ago. I still have the machines in the garage to remind me of the special breed it takes to do that day in and day out. Respect.
So the Republicans would have been blamed if there was a red wave. What are the chances the Democrats will accept blame for a slack economy and layoffs?
First it was the vax, now this. They wouldn’t let me feel comfortable in my employment one way or the other. I pray I don’t get laid off.
America is all but lost with the ballot BS, more states will move to ballots, they print them like they print money as needed. There are no breaks on this downhill run.
Mitch, Kev and Ronna have a plan. Pick a fight with MAGA, split the GOP further and lose more elections.
It’s going to get worse in 2023 if the demo-fascist and globalists accomplish what they promised at COP27 in Egypt. Billions more of American money for turd world dictatorships. But with BRICS making headway what they have promised the tribal chiefs may only be good to line a bird cage with Americans suffering Weimer type inflation and devaluation. If the WEF slaves in DC accomplish what their masters in Switzerland want things will get ugly quick and as arrogant as they are they will not be immune. For they are the useful idiots for the WEF globalists.
