The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Iranians just need a sh1t ton of sodium perchlorate for all the thyroid problems they have. An epidemic, I tells ya.

Sarcasm appreciated. The thing is, as noted for weeks, we can't be sure who Baghdad Bob is. Both sides have a record of playing pretty loose with facts. Was that even what was on the ship? We really don't know. It's like the aluminum tubes, or maybe a complete fabrication, like the "yellowcake letter", or the "Prague meeting". Neo-cons have no respect for the truth. They proved that 20 years ago. The only objective, is advancing their agenda.

As for Trump the Conqueror trying to pick a fight with China, he's been doing that since his first term. Remember, in about August of 2019, he was telling companies to get their supply chains out of China? Do you really think any of the USian "L&Ses" give a hoot about a Muslim minority in China, when they paint every other Muslim in the world as the Islamic boogyman? Of course not. It's a nice sounding cover story. They realize China is funding it's challenge to USian hegemony with the money we give them for their manufactured goods.
