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.

On day 1 of his regime Biden handed over millions of dollars to Hamas despite warnings that they'd use it for terrorism.

And now they have. Congrats, libs. We went from the Abraham Accords to civilians being kidnapped and butchered in the streets:

Videos on social media appeared to show armed troops from the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' militant arm, moving through built-up areas firing weapons as Israeli residents were evacuated from their homes following air strikes.

In a statement posted on Telegram, Hamas called on 'the resistance fighters in the West Bank' as well as 'our Arab and Islamic nations' to join the battle.

In remarks reported by CNN, militant commander Deif said: 'If you have a gun, get it out. This is the time to use it ' get out with trucks, cars, axes. Today the best and most honorable history starts.'


The Biden regime issued the usual milqtoast nonsense response to this

X (Twitter): Omri Ceren on X: "Team Biden made a Day 1 decision to pour millions of dollars into Hamas areas. Internal emails show them saying it would boost Hamas terrorism

'but it's since been deleted.
All the money that Biden sent the Palestinians no doubt paid for this. What money, you ask?

President Biden will also announce new contributions totaling $316 million to support the Palestinian people. This is on top of the more than half a billion dollars the United States has provided to the Palestinian people since the Biden Administration restored much needed funding to the Palestinians.

The White House knew that any aid they provided would go to terrorism but they went ahead anyway:

The Biden administration pressed forward with plans to allocate hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to the Palestinians despite concerns within the administration that those funds could end up supporting the Iran-backed terror group Hamas.

According to internal documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, U.S. State Department officials expressed those concerns privately, asking the Treasury Department to exempt them from laws barring the United States from sending funds into areas run by Palestinian terror groups.


Let's go, Brandon! Heckuva job.
