That's what happens when you get the left in anything.

Trump shouldn't be so nice and try to cross isles.
Politics is a tricky thing when democracy (aka mob rule) and votes are part of it.

I was looking at the mayoral situation in NY. It strikes me again how we are in a time when way too much has become essentially normal after having been tolerated for too long a time. The ideology and mentality of the candidate would have been shut down and thrown out not too long ago as simply being unamerican. He'd likely have been run out of the country or dealt with legally in some way to make it clear that this foreign ideology is not wanted here.

IMO, unfortunately, this melting-pot ideology has now gone too far and foreign invasion not speaking so much re: numbers but in unamerican ideology is deeply rooted enough to keep spreading like the infection it is.

There's a Christian pastor who has done a lot of work on the US Constitution. With an open mind some of it is interesting to think about. Before taking it in I was asking myself why all the patriotism over the USC? If it is as good as many think, then why are we where we are? In the end it just seems another example of mankind being under law - written documents ultimately don't mean that much unless it's very clear and there is a sufficient body of men - neighbors - willing to hold everybody else to it. It has to be a part of us on our minds and in our hearts. I'm sure you grasp this language.

The melting pot ideology is not even called that anymore by the left. It's simply insanity. The criminals are victims, men are women, up is down.
It's people coming in, and thinking that anarchy is the best option.
Even Fareed Zachara who works for CNN and calls himself somewhat of a 'centrist' said "If you come to America, let go of your old country and melt a little".
It's about time this nation needs a little more adjustment towards foreigners that there are rules and there is culture here based on the history of this country not your country.

Hey bro I believe you said that your family migrated from Albania. Have you ever caught that comedian Leonarda Jonie I believe she had said her family was Albanian, she is definitely not for the easily offended with her free speech comedy act...LOL

I haven't heard of her no but i will check it out.
The way we talk in Albania is very direct which gives a typical liberal a heart attack.

Why do you never report large hiring? All you report are layoffs. And those you have been reporting for multiple years now. Somebody gotta be hiring somebody, or there wouldn't be anybody left to lay off. But all you ever report are the layoffs...

I saw this job posting today. I also believe that there are plenty of openings for either the Ukraine or Russian armies depending on whether you support Nazi's or Communists.

It used to be that layoffs took place in companies in a dying industry. But the tech industry is not dying, if anything this is a golden age for technology, that is what is different.

This guy is as shortsighted as all those pushing a High schoolers to go to college 4-8 years ago. Think about where AI was four years ago, or even 8 years ago (AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol in 2016). At that point the writing was on the wall.

Well it is the same thing today with the trades. Elon Musk who makes robots is predicting more humanoid robots than humans. Already we have robots that can do some jobs and that can be trained by watching Youtube videos. We have restaurants that are run 100% by robots and AI. In two years we will see what is happening to white collar jobs due to AI happening to blue collar jobs due to robots.

Elon Musk's robot will be priced at 25k a year for a lease. That robot can work 4 shifts a week. So it will be like getting a full time worker that does not need any benefits for 6k a year. You don't need to worry about them getting sick, or doing drugs, or stealing or making a viral video.

Amazon Tells Thousands of Employees to Relocate or ResignAmazon says the move to bring teams together will make them more "effective."
By Sherin Shibu Edited by Melissa Malamut Jun 20, 2025

Key Takeaways


  • Amazon is asking thousands of employees to relocate to its main hubs across the country — or resign.

  • One Amazon employee said they were given 30 days to decide, and that they would not receive severance pay if they resigned.
https://www.entrepreneur.com/busine...ees-to-relocate-to-main-hubs-or-resign/493594

Relocate? So they must sell their house in 30 days and their spouse has to leave their job as well and their kids have to leave their school. They have already advised these workers that they expect AI to reduce the workforce significantly over the next two years. So if you think your job might be taken by AI in the next two years would you move? It looks like a way to get a large number of workers to simply resign before they need to start laying them off.

"A bloodbath of layoffs and closures"


FedEx Fires 100,000 Employees in the U S Massive Delivery Losses Reported
My pastor was talking just last night about someone who might be related to you.

He works at a factory and on his first day there a guy sat down beside him at lunch and started talking about "You picked a bad time to start working here. This place won't be open much longer." And every day at lunch break he would say about the same thing.

After ten years my pastor got a ten year certificate. His friend said, "Well that'll be the last one you get. This place is shutting down."

Fifteen year certificate, twenty year certificate... "Savor the flavor dude. We won't be here much longer, I can tell."

"What are they doing with all that stuff we been making here?"

"I don't know. I think they're keeping it in all those trailers out in the lot to hide it, so we won't know they ain't selling it."

Finally my pastor said, "You been saying that same thing for twenty years. Now in seventy years or so you might be right, but at this moment we're still doing good."


So ZNP, this sound like your brother? I can't remember the name of my pastor's friend, but he's got to be at LEAST your second cousin.

Nope. As for saying the same thing for 20 years, that is ridiculous. You sound like a fool.

Why would you think this guy was related to me? I was sure you were going to mention my father, or mother or one of my cousins. But no, just some stupid story about a factory worker. Most of my relatives are lawyers, doctors, with graduate degrees. I have friends that work in factories, but don't know about any cousins that do.

I think we can conclude your Pastor is related to Alfred E. Neuman

I came to this forum in 2021, shortly after the January 6th event which was labelled an insurrection, though it there were no weapons other than the pipe bomb, of the people arrested and imprisoned it included a lot of people guilty of "trespassing" but they still have not arrested the guy with the pipe bomb. Some may try to say all is well, but for most of us we realized things are not right here.

That was also the year they mandated an experimental vaccine and people lost their jobs if they didn't get it. Many lies were spoken about that vaccine. For example we were told it was safe and effective without them providing any evidence or studies proving that this was true. We were told HCQ was bleach and Ivermectin was for horses when in fact both have been proven to be effective treatments against Covid and other viral infections. Some may try and say all is well, there were definitely pastors who went along with this despite members of their congregation being seriously harmed by these laws, but for most of us we realized something is not right here.

About nine months after joining this forum the war in Ukraine began. I remember a month before the war started Russia was massing on the border and foolish people wanted to pretend they were bluffing. That was the time to leave. Today they are rounded up off the streets, conscripted and used as cannon fodder. Yes, I was warning about that war before it started, perhaps to this foolish pastor he thinks all is well because he isn't in Ukraine and doesn't have to fight. But for anyone directly involved December of 2021 was the time to get away from the eastern border of Ukraine.

In 2023 we had an invasion of Israel from Hamas. This war escalated and was precisely described prophetically in Psalm 83. In that prophecy it describes a coalition of peoples involved in the war that were all involved and which had never all been involved in a war against Israel in the past. Not only so but according to Psalm 83 once this war takes place it will never take place again and Gaza will become chaff. In Zephaniah it says they will be "rooted out" which is a precise description of the IDF going through all these tunnels they used and destroying them. Imagine how big a fool a pastor has to be to ignore the fulfillment of Psalm 83 prophecy and Zephaniah 2:4 prophecy in their life. What a clown the guy must be. Not only so but who would listen to this clown?

In 2024 we had a bizarre destruction of a bridge when a container ship Dali struck it. Have we ever heard what happened or why? What made this even more bizzare was it coincided with the release of a movie that Barak Obama worked on which had a very similar scene indicating that AI was going rogue or had been hacked in a war. We also had several assassination attempts on a Presidential candidate and although a few people try to say it was simply mistakes were made those mistakes don't seem to make any sense to most of us. But for clowns like that pastor I suppose all is well since no one is shooting at him, at least not yet.

We also learned that Joe Biden was incompetent for some if not all of his presidency and that the bills he "signed" were actually signed using the autopen controlled by someone else. The legacy media went along with this fraud and now act all shocked and surprised. Like I said, only a clown like the pastor that Lynx listens to would think all is fine, nothing has happened.

Donald Trump was also reelected, in many ways this election is stunning. Have we ever elected a convicted felon before? Have we ever elected a man who was impeached twice before while president? For that matter, why would we impeach a man who had already left office as president?

During this year Putin and Biden both threatened nuclear war on each other, and since that time we have had India and Pakistan, two nuclear powers at war, Ukraine and Russia at war (one nuclear power) but NATO and the US are clearly involved (again a threat of two nuclear powers going to war) and we have had Israel, the US and Iran at war over their nuclear facilities. Never before have we bombed nuclear facilities that were operational and that might cause a nuclear catastrophe. But for clowns like the Pastor that Lynx looks to for spiritual advice, all is well, nothing to see here.

In 2025 we had a massive tariff placed on China which has caused an exodus of many multinational corporations and financial upheaval in China, with some calling it a crisis and even predicting a collapse. There are also hints of an insurrection among the CCP. For some having a nuclear power on the brink of bankruptcy is something that is quite serious, but not for Lynx's pastor. I wonder if this pastor is related to Alfred E. Neuman.

We have also seen massive layoffs in the tech industry spreading to other industries like FedEx and Amazon.com due to AI and robots. Most if not all experts in this field are predicting massive layoffs and unemployment due to this technology over the next four years. Apparently the pastor Lynx listens to doesn't care if members of his congregation lose their jobs or if they waste 200k on four years of college only to graduate in 2029 without any jobs. It seems to me if you are going to navigate through this radical change you should be aware of what is going on and what is coming.
