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.

Here's a convo a reporter had with an illegal from Turkey on the border:

X (Twitter): Bill Melugin on X: "NEW: A Turkish man who crossed into Jacumba, CA illegally w/ a group of other Turkish men told me he paid $10k to a cartel, & expressed

MELUGIN: Did you have to pay a cartel?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes

MELUGIN: How much?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: $10,000

MELUGIN: $10,000?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes...In fact, the American people is right, completely true. Who comes into this country? They don't know. Okay, I'm good, but how if they're not good? How if they're killers, psychopath, else? No guarantee of that. Like, no security, no security check, no background check

MELUGIN: No security, no background, you're worried about who's crossing the border?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes, yes. Of course, because (unintelligible) people are not like normal.

There's only 1 way to stop the insanity, and that's to throw out as many democrats as possible in November.
