Disney looks set to become the next major corporation to freeze hiring and cut job after a second straight quarter losing over $1billion. The news comes after a quarter where, despite the gains, the company continues to lose in the streaming market, nearly doubling year-over-year to $1.47 billion.

He wrote: 'While certain macroeconomic factors are out of our control, meeting these goals requires all of us to continue...

The Russian Orthodox Church supports the initiative to ban LGBT propaganda across the board, but not the idea of making homosexuality itself into a crime, says one of the Church’s top representatives. In 2013, Russia passed an amendment to the country's Child Protection Law against “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations to minors.” Fines range from $155 for an individual to up to $31,000 for a media outlet. But now Russia’s Parliament is moving towards a total ban on LGBT propaganda, for any audience. “We supported the bill in the current version during the public hearings in the State Duma, which...

The same crooks that gave Uranium One to Russia now apparently think they should review the Twitter sale to Elon Musk. The corrupt group that approved the sale of Uranium One and 20% of the US uranium reserves to Russia, now is getting involved in the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk. In October TGP reported that Biden is threatening to investigate Elon Musk for standing up for free speech and against censorship. Biden threatened to use the same entity that approved the sale of Uranium One to Russia. Yesterday it was reported that Biden is planning on using the...

Biden's 'whole-of-government' plan to enact an environmentalist agenda.. House Republicans produced a 1,000-page report on Nov. 4 detailing how the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have shifted their focus toward targeting conservative Americans who protest at abortion clinics and parents who protest at school board meetings. But the politicization of federal law enforcement is just the tip of the iceberg. Since Joe Biden assumed the presidency nearly two years ago, the Biden administration has been relentless in redirecting virtually every federal agency toward activism for “climate and social justice” and aligning the federal government in lockstep...

[audio] This is a 2-minute summary of Oakland’s Measure S on the November 8, 2022 ballot. If passed, Measure S would allow Oakland’s non-citizen parents and legal guardians the right to vote in school board elections. Measure S authors are council members Dan Kalb and Treva Reed.

In fact, about 60,000 people in Oakland are non-citizens. Over 13,000 of these parents send their kids to school in Oakland.

The chickens have come home to roost for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. After he stuck his nose in the state’s Republican primary process last May against the guidance of his most loyal advisers, many of his once-devoted followers say they are done with the former president. (snip) “If you’re a Republican in Pennsylvania and you look at Donald Trump’s bigfooting of the people in Pennsylvania and the implosion of his candidates in Pennsylvania, you’re pretty upset,” said Urban, a Washington-based strategist who grew up in Beaver County, Pa. Urban said his phone has been ringing all week with county chairs...

Ball of Confusion

The space agency is still targeting a two-hour launch window on Wednesday, November 16, that begins at 1:04 a.m. ET for liftoff of Artemis I. It will mark the inaugural flight of the new Space Launch System rocket and send an uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a test flight around the moon. The space agency had decided to roll out the SLS rocket to the launchpad November 4 while the storm was still an unnamed system brewing off the East Coast. Nicole left some substantial issues to be addressed, Free said. Some caulking came loose on the Orion spacecraft that ground...

Eric Swalwell says parental involvement in education is the equivalent of allowing medical patients to dictate their own surgeries, a biting remark in an ongoing political fight over what children learn in the classroom.Swalwell made the remarks on his Twitter feed Wednesday night, responding to a remark from South Carolina GOP Sen. Tim Scott that Republicans were planning to put "parents back in charge of their kids' education."Swalwell wrote: "Please tell me what I’m missing here. What are we doing next?

Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back. The 2022 midterm election results for Colorado say that the state as it was is no more. Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back. "The idea that somehow Colorado is still purplish or has a red streak to it, no, I don't see it at all," said Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute on IITV's Devil's Advocate show. "All of that was absolutely mind-boggling, but what really got me was in the state Legislature." Caldara interviewed Marianne Goodland, Colorado legislative reporter...

Former President Trump has filed a lawsuit to dismiss the subpoena issued by the House Jan. 6 Committee on Friday evening, which demands his appearance for a deposition on Monday, Politico reported. It can be recalled the January 6 Committee last October unanimously voted to subpoena Trump. Americans DO NOT care about the January 6 panel. The number one issue for Americans is crushing inflation caused by Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies. “We have left no doubt—none—that Donald Trump led an effort to upend American democracy that directly resulted in the violence of Jan. 6,” Chair Bennie Thompson said. “He is...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on CNN’s “At This Hour” that Republicans like Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA) were now disavowing Trump because several candidates he endorsed lost their midterm runs and not over Trump “spreading election lies.” On Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast,” Sears said, “I could not support him. I just couldn’t because we have seen, for example, in those states where he has endorsed the candidates. In fact, Republicans on the same ticket who he did not endorse overperformed, whereas his candidates totally underperformed by as much as ten points. We have a clear...

AKRON, Ohio — Bill Liming says he doesn't feel like he can remain silent any longer. His son, Ethan Liming, was a star athlete, an honor roll student and a rising senior. Summer vacation had just started when the 17-year-old was brutally beaten and killed. Now, months later, his father feels like he is being victimized by the justice system. “I naively believed that once the people who murdered my son were caught that the justice system would simply handle things. We’ve said all along we were confident when the facts of the case were presented that Ethan would receive...

Chuck Waite and Ragnar Crowson are hobbyist blacksmiths who typically create small items like decorative crosses or bottle openers, but they’re about to embark on a bigger task: transforming guns to garden tools. Hearing about the growing movement in other cities, forging guns to garden tools is something Tulsa Metropolitan Ministries has wanted to pursue for quite some time. They called on Tulsa City Councilor Crista Patrick to help, because Crowson is Patrick’s husband. They all agreed 2022 was the year to make it happen. “After this summer, some of the tragedies we’ve had in our city, we decided it...

DUBAI, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Iran has built a hypersonic ballistic missile, the semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace commander as saying, in remarks likely to heighten concerns about Iranian missile capabilities. "This missile has a high speed and can manoeuvre in and out of the atmosphere. It will target the enemy's advanced anti-missile systems and is a big generational leap in the field of missiles," commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying. Hypersonic missiles can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound and on a complex trajectory, which makes them difficult...
