HR is run by people too stupid to understand the requirements of the jobs they're hiring for.
They don't know enough to understand when they're making mistakes.

I’m deeply disturbed by how many Christians like the horror genre and even show it to their children.
A procedural psychological thriller can be an interesting study of human nature.
However, horror movies like Saw, Hostel, or IT revel in evil.
You have to emotionally anesthetize yourself in order to watch them, and you leave the theater either completely disturbed or morally calloused.
Christians shouldn’t be a fan of horror.
You shouldn’t be reading books, or watching movies, or listening to true crime podcasts that make you scared.
How many times do we read throughout Scripture: “Do not fear.”
And yet, we purposefully consume content that makes us scared. This is a direct contradiction of Jesus’ commands to not be fearful or be anxious about anything.
Talarico doesn't look like a freak, true, but then he has to go and open his mouth.
Hume: The president has been out campaigning vigorously, but I'm not sure it's making any difference and what difference it would make I'm not sure is helping.
In Texas, he is calling James Talarico “Tala-freak-o.” He is not a freak. You see him. He seems mild mannered and pleasant and not an unattractive candidate.
This cuddling up to Vladimir Putin at this moment… I don’t think that plays well. The American public can’t stand Putin.
And this fiasco with the press secretary…

Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later.
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

You're onto something here, but you're misattributing the cause.
You think it's because you're brown, or from india, and that's why we don't like you.
Well, ok, for some, maybe. For the vast majority? No.
We hate your culture.
We hate your culture of scamming.
We hate your culture of treating people differently based on their caste.
We hate that you pollute our lakes and rivers by dumping milk and wooden statues into them. We don't even hate your Gods so much as what you do when worshipping them.
We hate the scams your fellow countrymen are pulling that take American jobs away from Americans.
Now i can't speak for everyone, but that is MY problem.
If you want to be in America, learn American culture and appropriate it. We'll welcome you then.

Ok I'm going to honestly answer this question, and then explain myself.
The quick answer is "no."
The vast majority of Indian temp workers hate America and Americans. You treat us like Dalits.
You treat Dalits like Dalits, and that right there is the problem. We don't do that caste shit here.
We don't favor our own socioeconomic group over others.
We don't scam people like it's a virtue.
We don't take advantage of people because we can.
We hate people that do these things. It seems like Indians do this far more often than others.
Now of course, there are edge cases and all that. I'm an edge case myself, and I understand how frustrating being an edge case is. It really does suck.
So here's the thing. If you want to be in America, and have more Americans stop hating you, i'd suggest studying our ways, and our culture, and adapting it.
Now, I'm not talking about you personally. I don't know you from Adam. I'm talking about "in general"
Learn how AMERICANS make deals. Learn about our sense of ethics, and practice it while you're here.
If you are unwilling or unable to do that, then don't bother. If you are? I'll welcome you with open arms.
I’ve seen so many comments saying Indians should leave your countries. So let me ask you something honestly: if every Indian left tomorrow and returned to India, would you finally stop hating us?
Would the insults, stereotypes, and racist comments stop too? Or would you still find another reason to target Indians, even when we’re no longer living in your country?
Because if Indians leaving isn’t enough to end the hatred, then maybe immigration was never the real problem. Maybe the problem is simply that you don’t want to accept us, no matter where we are.

You called for prosecution of people that work for republicans.
The shit your party has pulled would have gotten y'all a lot worse in any other country. All you have to worry about in America is a strongly worded letter. Republicans are too chickenshit to do anything to you.
This man, @mrddmia, who is suggesting I be shot, was in the mix to be President Trump's next Attorney General after he fired Pam Bondi for not prosecuting more of his political opponents. He is now at a MAGA dark money group, mobilizing death threats against me and my staff for sport.
This shouldn’t be controversial: if you aid in stealing taxpayer money or directing it to enrich President Trump or his family, then you should be held accountable for that crime. That’s what I said, and I stand by it.
And if you use the justice system for frivolous lawsuits used to intimidate and jail your political opponents, you should be held accountable for that via your bar status. No abuse of power and not violating the law? Then we have no problem.
We know most Republican politicians are desperate to change the topic from their failing agenda. That’s how this kind of coordinated right-wing media play works. The threats and intimidation — of me, my staff, and my family — *are the point* of this kind of play. This dude and so many others are just hoping that we'll shut up in response.
Not going to happen.

I wish voting early made all the goddamned text messages stop.
Going to go out and do that and then just get more imaging done.
I swear to God I will have enough high-res imagery of my insides for somebody to 3D print me soon.

Let me make this clear as a Christian.
When you proclaim you believe Jesus is the Messiah, you must also believe He is the ONLY way and NOBODY comes to the Father except through Him. If I tell you that you need Jesus it isn’t because I hate you, it’s because I believe Jesus is the way. I won’t try to hate you into loving him.
I will call out false divisive teachings that do not hold Jesus as the only way to God and I won’t allow people to lie about and bear false witness against me, my wife, my family or the churches of Christ. If engaged respectfully, I will answer Biblical questions and even engage in respectful debate but I won’t tolerate for a moment for my beliefs to be mischaracterized and slandered. I will call it out succinctly and Biblically.

This is incoherent: the concept of a nominating system necessarily implies that it takes place within a party. That is the only reason a nominating system exists.
You can run for President without being nominated by a party. Many have done it. 🤷♂️

I tried not to have this be a theological debate or cudgel. I wanted people to be able to unite in the cause, even if they had disparate beliefs - some not even Christian or Jewish. I had to respond to someone maligning my belief in the Bible:
I’m not sure why you choose to cast aspersions at me or my beliefs - especially as a supporter of the Jewish people, supporter of Israel and a Christian. My record is clear. I believe the Bible 100% - all of it. I believe the Word of God as told by the prophets, Jesus, Paul, the Apostles, and the practices of the first-century churches of Christ. If a label is required here (I don’t like labels other than Christian), you could say I am a partial preterist. Not a premillennial or postmillennial. Most of Revelation and the Olivet Discourse was fulfilled in the first century around AD 70, but the final return of Christ, the resurrection, and the new creation remain future.
Romans 9:6 is clear: not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel. There has always been a remnant according to the election of grace (Rom 11:5). Scripture itself shows that the real Israel has always been less than those who claim the national heritage, just as Jesus warned that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” or prophesies in His name is a true follower (Matt 7:21-23). “And so all Israel will be saved” (Rom 11:26) describes the manner: through the gospel process of Gentile inclusion and Jewish turning from unbelief, not a future national conversion of every ethnic Jew. The full remnant of true Israelites (physical Jews with the faith of Abraham expressed in Jesus) is saved. Any who do not continue in unbelief will be grafted back in (Rom 11:23) and received as life from the dead. God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable. He loves physical Jews on account of the patriarchs. The door remains open to them.
The returns from exile fulfilled the Deuteronomy and prophetic promises of return. The land promises find their yes in Christ (2 Cor 1:20). The church, Jew and Gentile in one body, is the fulfillment of the covenant people, rejoice in that. I love and respect the Jewish people, I pray as every Christian should that they come to know the Messiah, and I support Israel as a political ally a shield of Western values and the only nation in the ME to allow Christianity to be practiced as well as have Christian archeological sites protected. As I said before: Nobody calls me a Nazi for this religious stance. I am simply following the Scriptures. I am not your enemy and I see you making a grave mistake of making people who believe in the Bible out to be your enemy when they aren’t.

I don’t believe, as many do, that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. I believe the church of Christ is the fulfillment of the Covenant and we all, through Jesus, are His people. My stance towards Israel and Jewish people is no different had I believed the other way because I also believe the rest of the Bible. I believe in the Word of God as told by Jesus, Paul, the Apostles and the practices (failures and corrections) of the first century churches of Christ.
Israel is politically a fantastic ally to the US and a shield for our shared heritage and Western values against Islamification and the communist red green alliance. They are the ONLY nation in the Middle East that allows the free practice of Christianity as well as allows Christians to vote, run for office, serve in the military etc… They also allow Christians to spread the Good News of Jesus and they protect our Christian religious sites and history. For religious Jewish people, I pray that they come to know Christ and to know the blessing of the Messiah! So I love them and respect them and try to learn about my own faith and our Savior through them and their history and practices.
So while I disagree with someone like my good friend @tedcruz on the Biblical nature of the modern nation of Israel, our political posture towards Israel and or love the Jewish people in seeking their salvation is the same.
Nobody calls me a Nazi for this religious stance.

Football player for Jefferson High School (@PPSConnect) in Oregon AMBUSHED a player on the opposing team while he was carrying an American flag onto the field.
The team's IG account then CELEBRATED the attack.
This is ASSAULT. He should be expelled.

My cousin JD just got asked point-blank by a father whose little kids survived a terrorist attack at Temple Israel if he would confront the antisemitism coming from his own side specifically Tucker Carlson.
What did he do? He gave the smooth “I condemn antisemitism, I condemn Jew-hatred” answer and then stopped. He would not name the man.
He would not draw the line.
I will say” / “Here’s what I’ll say”
And here is what I say cousin:
I have spent 27 years lifting up the real history of Owsley and Breathitt of Kentucky so our people would not be called dumb trailer-trash hillbillies.
You took that same bloodline, put it in a book, let Hollywood mock it, and then walked away from the values our people actually stand on.
Gee thanks J.D. stereotyped the very people I have spent decades on accentuating the rich history of.
At heart you are just like Tucker Carlson. That is not leadership. That is not ready. And that is why I will never support you for higher office.
Family does not mean silence. Genesis 12:3 still stands. I will not apologize for standing with Israel or against the hate you refuse to name.
🇺🇸🇮🇱
