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.

Virtually no fentanyl comes into the US from Canada. Just 43 pounds of fentanyl were intercepted coming from Canada into the U.S. last year, whereas Canadian authorities intercepted about 11 pounds going the opposite way during the same period.

“Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Just 2 milligrams of fentanyl, equal to 10 to15 grains of table salt, is considered a lethal dose.”

Just?? Sorry, 43 pounds of fentanyl is 43 pounds too many.
I read, “Canada unveiled a $1.3 billion plan to secure the border and appointed a fentanyl czar.” This came after President Trump’s get tough policies. Good on President Trump.

The same is true for undocumented immigrants: In FY 2024, Border Patrol apprehended 23,721 people who illegally crossed the northern border into the U.S. That’s about 1.5% of Border Patrol apprehensions nationwide.

SNIP
“The number of migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border rose in fiscal 2019 to its highest annual level in 12 years. The 851,508 apprehensions recorded last fiscal year (October 2018-September 2019) were more than double the number the year before (396,579) but still well short of the levels in the early 2000s, according to CBP, the agency tasked with enforcing immigration laws at the border”

you're in his cult

Yep, the cult is united making waves across America cutting waste and fraud in our government,
the Cult knows what the definition of a women is, The Cult does not want inferior males in women sports because they are not good enough to compete in sports with men, the Cult believes the life of the unborn child deserves to be born and live its life just as you do, the Cult identifies there are only two sexes, a man and a women, the Cult does not use pronouns to identify a man or women, the Cult does not believe in identity politics and DEI and the WOKE nonsense..the Cult list goes on.

Meanwhile the democrats and left are floundering aimlessly in the wilderness.
They have no leader, they have no message, they argue amongst themselves.
They use ping pong paddles for message communication, they stand on street corners singing songs they are not the downtrodden, they put out ridiculous videos on youtube of the dem females making fools of themselves, the democrat list of failure goes on and on.
