Yes I am wearing blue jeans. Yes I gotta watch her like a hawk. Yeah I'm a little nervous. Still don't know what the infection is... but you know, as I said before, she's a sweetheart.
And who among us hasn't needed a second chance?
The right thing to do is never the easy thing and rarely do folks tell you its the smart thing.
Maybe that's how you know...

Of course there isn't a human rights organ in your body just like there isn't a spot in your foot that keeps us from kicking this little prick's ass next time we see him walking down the street.
Human rights have been fought for since time began, one way or the other, and of course, sycophants to the powerful elites like Yuval Harari have always pushed back saying our rights aren't granted by God or aren't legitimate concerns listed in the constitution or some such other nonsense.
So here he goes again saying the same shit.
Notice he also says national borders don't really exist and gives the US and Israel as examples.
Is he saying Israel is a made up thing and has no right to exist? Of course not. He's saying Israel's borders aren't defined like they actually have been since 1949 via the Green Line so Glorious Israel is justified in stealing everyone else's land.
He mentions the US borders because he believes in open borders like all other neoliberals who want cheap labor to drive down wages in the endless race to the bottom... the bottom in this case would be slavery... which owning slaves is only really taboo if you believe in things like...
... human rights.
See how that works?

An Israeli airstrike killed the son of Hamas’ chief negotiator in U.S.-mediated talks on Gaza’s future, a senior Hamas official said Thursday, as the group’s leaders met in Cairo to shore up a fragile truce with Israel.
Azzam al-Hayya, son of Khalil al-Hayya, succumbed to his injuries Thursday after being struck in an Israeli attack Wednesday night, said senior Hamas official Basim Naim. He is the fourth son of Hamas' exiled Gaza chief to have been killed in Israeli attacks.
The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment.
Al-Hayya, who has seven children, has survived multiple Israeli attempts to kill him. An Israeli strike in Doha last year targeting Hamas leadership killed his son, though al-Hayya survived. Two other sons were killed in past Israeli attempts on his life, in Gaza strikes in 2008 and 2014.
Speaking to Al Jazeera after the attack Wednesday night, before his son's death was announced, Hayya accused Israel of trying to undermine mediators' efforts to push ahead with U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan, overseen by his so-called "Board of Peace."...

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced that transit through the Strait of Hormuz will gradually become safe and stable as the security situation in the Persian Gulf improves "with the aggressor's threats neutralized."
The IRGC Navy said in a post on its X account on Wednesday that it had seen a good level of compliance with its regulations from shipping companies and staff seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
It said that Iran would allow a resumption of transit in the key waterway, which is responsible for a fifth of global oil demand, now that threats from the US and the Israeli regime against Iran are subsiding.
“We thank captains & shipowners in the Persian Gulf & Gulf of Oman for complying with Iran’s Strait of Hormuz regulations & contributing to regional maritime security. With the aggressor’s threats neutralized & new protocols in place, safe, stable passage through SOH will be ensured,” said the post...

US President Donald Trump’s decision to pause a US operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz came as a result of pressure from Saudi Arabia, according to an NBC News report citing two US officials.
According to the officials, the US’s allies among the Gulf states were surprised by Trump’s Sunday announcement of Project Freedom, which was launched on Monday.
Saudi Arabian leadership informed the US that it would not allow US military aircraft to fly from the Saudi Prince Sultan Airbase or through Saudi airspace to carry out the effort to escort stranded vessels out of the strait, the report continued.
Trump attempted to resolve the issue with a call to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to no avail, the officials stated. Trump was then forced to halt the effort in order to regain US military access to the strategically critical airspace.
During the US’s Operation Epic Fury against Iran and before the ongoing temporary US-Iran ceasefire, Saudi Arabia allowed the US to fly aircraft from the Prince Sultan Airbase, at which the US military maintains fighter aircraft and air defenses...

President Donald Trump dramatically backtracked on Project Freedom after just two days because its Gulf ally Saudi Arabia blocked access to its military bases and airspace, according to reports.
Just 48 hours after announcing the operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the US leader paused the initiative to enable negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Iran had attacked ships across the Gulf and struck a port in the UAE, on Tuesday.
It has now emerged that Trump’s decision to pause the operation was driven by complaints by Saudi Arabia, two US officials told NBC News.
Saudi Arabia’s leaders had been angered by the announcement and the government told the US it would not allow American military forces to fly aircraft through Prince Sultan Airbase, located southeast of its capital Riyadh.
Officials said the Kingdom denied access for any US aircraft to fly through Saudi airspace as part of Project Freedom...

O'Leary is dismissing critics of the multibillion-dollar project as "professional protesters" and suggesting some of the opposition is being amplified by artificial intelligence.
In a post on X and an accompanying video, O'Leary, also known as Mr. Wonderful, said concerns about the project — including its impact on air, water use, heat, and noise — are well understood by his team.
"I'm actually the only developer of data centers on earth that graduated from environmental studies, so I'm pretty aware of what these concerns are," he said in the clip, posted Tuesday.
The Box Elder County data center is facing pushback from those worried about environmental strain and resource use, a common flash point as energy-hungry data centers fueling the growth of AI expand across the US...

(You pay for their football stadiums. You pay for their hockey arenas. You pay for their tax breaks. And if you are in the military, sometimes you pay for their expansionist imperial ambitions with your lives. So today the masters of the universe can't figure out why you balk at paying for their water and electric bill when they want to make a shit-ton of money commodifying your personal data and spying on you. Don't you know your place in the brave new techno-feudal state they are building for us? Luddite.)

County commissioners in Box Elder County, Utah, were deluged with chants of “Shame! Shame! Shame!” from a crowd of hundreds on Monday night as they voted unanimously to move forward with a sprawling “hyperscale” artificial intelligence data center project that many residents fear will cause energy prices to soar and imperil water access.
The project, known by state officials as “Stratos,” was proposed by the celebrity venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary and has been rushed along by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority, which recently approved a gigantic energy tax break for the program to help “lure” the billionaire “Shark Tank” investor.
The development, dubbed “Wonder Valley” after O’Leary’s “Mr. Wonderful” TV persona, would span more than 40,000 acres of northern Utah—more than two and a half times the size of Manhattan—and would consume more than twice the electricity currently used by the entire state if approved, according to Axios.
