Not just proof there was fraud... but evidence that it was known, and allowed, by law enforcement and others.
Then Job answered the Lord:
“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.
I spoke once, but I have no answer—
twice, but I will say no more.”
After Job's tirade against God, and His rebuke, Job finally realizes that he needs to shut up and learn.
It is my hope, that every day, I remember that I need to stop and listen to my Near, Loving, Heavenly Father, when all I have is a rant for the Distant, Apathetic, Master of the Universe.
Listen to Him: He knows your troubles better than anyone, and knows what your need, better than yourself. Listen to Him, and follow His words. You can hear Him, if you quiet your rage, anger and frustration. He wants good things for you, and will guide you to them. Just as with any child, you can hear your Father's calming voice, and wisdom, once you get past your childish tantrums.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Gisele Fetterman, the wife of Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman, claimed on a podcast episode that "swimming in America is very racist."
On Thursday, Gisele mentioned on the iGen Politics podcast that her husband's Pennsylvania lieutenant governor's mansion came with a pool. The pair used the pool to teach minority children how to swim, said Gisele.
"And while we did not want the mansion, the mansion came with a pool," she said. "And the pool I wanted. And the dream was to open this pool and make it a public pool. Turn it into the people's pool. And ensure that young people across Pennsylvania could learn how to swim and learn water safety, and kind of work to right some of the wrongs."
I just read an article from BusinessWeek, about some IT guys hijacking a zoom call to ask what was called "Tough Questions". While this was a large company, it was not a tech company. Which is why a good CTO should have been able to answer these questions easily.
Question: Are there going to be more layoffs?
Answer: Perhaps... but understand this. You do not produce the product that this company sells. you're job, in IT, is to SUPPORT the people that produce the product that this company sells. The software development floor is not a profit center, it is a cost center. And that is why when costs need to be cut, then here is where that happens. It would be suicidal to lay off a factory worker who produces the product we sell, in order to keep you, who support him.
Question: Will we be able to continue to work remotely?
Answer: If you're not holding a screwdriver in your hand, I don't want to see you. I need the space you take up here available to dedicate to someone who needs it to be productive. So... Go home, work from home, but expect to have to work up to the same standards that you did while here.
Question: When will our pay be raised to the level of major tech companies?
Answer: Understand this: At Alphabet, Meta, and such, the IT department makes the product that the company sells. There, Top performers get top pay, and the competition is fierce. If you want to take the big risks, and work in that pressure cooker, Go Right Ahead. I'll be glad to write your recomendations. Good Luck, and God have mercy on your soul. Here, on the other hand, the factory workers make the product that the company sells. They are who the company lives and dies with. You're just a little more important than the janitorial staff and the mail room. In fact, you guys are largely the digital mail room. Our job in IT is to make sure that the people that make what this company sells can do so optimally... We Support them... This whole department is a support role. Never lose sight of that.
Sometimes us IT types get a little too self-important. A reality check is required.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Romans, Chapter 8. All of it.
11:If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.
So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption.
When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
...
26: Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
...
34: Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35, 38-39
