I wouldn't trust this man to tell me what day it is. But if anyone needs urgent care & goes to hospital they should get that care as quickly as is humanly possible. If ERs had to check citizenship or residency status or insurance cover before providing care more people would die seeking urgent care.
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

He is also actively involved in the ongoing harassment of a family in North Belfast despite already being told by the DUP MLA to wise the fuck up and leave them alone
This is the guy from Belfast who's trying to get province-wide anti-immigrant protests going. Although he's trying to get cross-community support he's a loyalist who associates with ex UVF men. He's against the left, centrists, unions, republicans, LGBT, and has started vigilante night patrols.

Funny and true.
I suspect another reason companies are adding in AI is about capturing more personal data from you. Probably best to avoid using it logged into anything until there is more transparency on that.

For those who dk, ‘Messianic Jewish’ means he’s a Christian in the sense that he believes Jesus to be the Messiah.
So this is a Christian calling himself Jewish who pretended to be Muslim to entrap Muslims.
