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 big winner? Zohran Mamdani. LOL.

batya-us.com - One party is purging antisemites

One Party Is Purging Antisemites. The Other Party Is Electing Them
The GOP continues to shed the people who hate Zionists and think Jews have too much power—while the Democratic Party continues to elect them.


The Tucker Carlson thread was amusing. He left the GOP because he's being paid by Qatar and is now letting his antisemitic freak flag fly. But anyway:

The Democratic Socialists of America had a sweep last night. Three candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, two of whom were expected to lose and two of whom were incumbents, won their primaries in New York City.

All three focused their campaigns on the hatred of Israel and the Jews who support it which they share with New York’s mayor, so much so that revelers chanted “Free, free Palestine” at victory parties.

Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Chevalier all won with the highly-educated white progressives that make up Mamdani’s base, the kind of people for whom Palestine has become the latest virtue signal. Chevalier, who won a district that includes the Bronx, actually lost the Bronx part of the district by 30 points.


Awesome. The true colors, they be shining through.

At a campaign rally, Mamdani called AIPAC—an organization that helps American citizens find pro-Israel candidates—a “monster” that “moves dark money”—a dark force “turning us against one another.”

“Swap ‘AIPAC’ for ‘Jews’ and it’s the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theory in the books,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer. “That’s not criticizing a lobby. That’s laundering antisemitism from your podium as Mayor of a city with more than a million Jews. This bullshit is dangerous.”


Saw this point and really agree with it:

It won't be long before AOC is attacked from her left flank as not being progressive enough. The democrat party is about to have a civil war on its hands. I'm here for it!
