@1Nicdar stupid, it's Iran asset Obama return to Iran as the consequences of JCPOA torn by Trump. Iran do best for the people of Iran compared with the homeless peoples in USA which never funded, while USA fund mega billon dollar for weapon
English

Saudi Prince MbS reveals that President Obama gave Iran $150B, and the IRGC didn’t even build a single street with that money.
Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones. And on top of that, they also used the funds Obama provided them to finance and arm terrorists like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons who was indoctrinated into jihadism.
Obama is by far the worst man to ever set foot in the Oval Office. The neoliberals like Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, etc. who ran his administration did so deliberately in order to keep the region destabilized and to use Iran as a buffer to prevent the Gulf states and Israel from amassing too much prosperity.

Every problem in the Middle East and every war we’ve fought in the past 60 years are all about one thing - the occupation. It’s the cancer that’s causing all these problems.
People are never going to accept the Israelis brutally occupying the Palestinians forever. And the Israelis are never going to let them go because they’re vicious.
They don’t want peace, they want more land. And they’re dragging the world through the mud to get what they want.
And mainstream media is their evil henchmen who never talk about the occupation and hide all of Israel’s crimes - and aggressively bully anyone who dares to point them out. The propaganda they’ve done is historic. Israel couldn’t have done all of these war crimes and continued the occupation without their partners in crime - American media.

I started my academic career at Columbia in 1993. I wonder if Columbia would hire me again to co-teach with Professor Khan? I believe that we wouldn't agree on much. Her famous Amazon paper amuses me. The course could be called; Kahn versus Khan.

Gavin Newsom’s wife on how she raises her kids:
“I've given our boys dolls…if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the 'he' to a 'she.'” x.com/mazemoore/stat…

@MichaelGeo2213 @TerryMoran And yet, his military has the highest moral and is the most lethal of my lifetime.
English

@TerryMoran We are all watching this disaster unfold in real time and there's absolutely zero adults in the room. Trump is deteriorating before our eyes while his Sec of Propaganda Pete Hegseth is dismantling military leadership because he's a joke. Unbelievable times

@marcthiessen @dpletka It’s simple really. The only way to get the European nations to pay their fair share, is to threaten to leave them on their own.
Looked at clearly, the USA has been funding Europe‘s massive entitlement systems.
English

Great piece by @dpletka: "Tell me, as a supporter of NATO; as a stalwart of the transatlantic alliance; as someone outraged by Donald Trump’s earlier threats to withdraw from the alliance; what am I to say? How am I to defend the indefensible? In short, I cannot."

@libsoftiktok Don’t accidentally take your young child into a “Toy Store”
English

@libsoftiktok It’s a gay resort, has been for decades. It’s actually a lovely, pleasant and wealthy crowd, although the cops do bust kid’s lemonade stands. The marina is pretty expensive.
I’ve never visited by land, just by sailboat. A very well protected harbor, great restaurants.

@ICannot_Enough @NeilBoltonRSPL Yes, they were doing final adjustments. I remember quite distinctly. It was at the Shepard Company in downtown Providence.
English

You mean the guy who announced, “Fourth floor, gentlemen’s neckties!”?
… but they weren’t actually controlling how many millimeters up or down the elevator cab moved inside the elevator shaft using a manual relay switch, though, right? They were just choosing which button to press for the automated elevator system to take you to the correct floor for what you said you were shopping for, right?
English

Nobody is skeptical of autonomous elevators because nobody alive today was even around to see a human elevator operator in real life before the last one got laid off. Automation is far safer.

@ICannot_Enough I’m 71 and well remember elevator operators. My mother is 97 and remembers the Hindenburg going over her Cranston, RI home on its way to Lakewood.

@GrumpyGrizz65 @Thevictoria76 Idiot. The marines don’t want this scum.

@Thevictoria76 Give him to the marines let them teach him how to be an adult.

@libsoftiktok Shut off all federal spending in Minnesota. They can pay their own Medicare.

@IllNino1776 @DesireeAmerica4 Oooh, Big, Manly You!!!
Chick-Fil-A is one of the most successful businesses in America.
You’re as tough as Joe Biden.
English

@DesireeAmerica4 That is just sad, I lift and carry 100+ pound shit all the time at work, way more than that at the gym.
English

A Chick-fil-A employee using a mechanical lift to throw away a single trash bag just sparked a massive culture war.
Blue-collar workers filmed it from above, laughing and saying modern men have gotten completely soft. Half the internet agrees, bragging about slinging 50lb boxes into trailers by hand all day.
The other half says Chick-fil-A is brilliant. Fast-food trash is incredibly heavy, and this machine saves employees' backs while preventing massive workers' comp lawsuits.
Are we becoming a weak society, or is this just smart corporate safety?
