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.

“George Blakemore condemned Biden's unwillingness to secure the border, urging former President Trump to "come in here and clean up this mess" as some of the poorest neighborhoods suffer from a lack of funding and city services due to the migrant crisis.”

“Who made these rules? Who voted for these rules? When did people have time to participate in making these rules? And one of y'all came over to me and said, 'Well, Mr. Blakemore, we've got children.' Well, what about the Black children in the ghetto? I'm strictly advocating for Black people. Call ICE on them! Trump, come in here, clean this mess up! The most corrupt city in the United States is the City of Chicago! I am an anti-illegal immigrant. Send them all back across the Rio Grande. We are the only people in America who were enslaved. We didn't come over waiting and looking for something. When we came, we built this country on free labor.”

“His remarks come after the city announced plans to spend $300 million to deal with the more than 24,000 illegal migrants who have arrived in Chicago after crossing the southern border since August of last year.”

Next up will be the usual far left liberals here condemning these folks as liars, only just a few people, so who cares, the website is antiAmerican spreading more lies. 🙄
