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.

It plays out on social media, in newsrooms, in classrooms, in personal relationships and in the halls of political power.

One of the links I posted a few days ago, talked about Israeli lobbyists supporting two Senate candidates, Haley Stevens, a Democrat in Michigan, and Susan Collins, a Republican, in Maine, presumably because, even though they are members of different parties, they are both owned by the Israel lobby.

Today, from the Ellison pro-Israel propaganda network, formerly known as CBS News:

Platner's wife told campaign about sexually explicit texts he sent other women

The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.

Amy Gertner, whom Platner has been married to since November 2023, told the campaign about the texts during an internal vetting process last year at the beginning of his campaign. Gertner's disclosure of the texts were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

If you can't win on the facts, try character assassination. It's a surgical strategy. GOP voters would not be put off one bit by charges of infidelity, considering who they voted for in 24, but Dems may go to the bought by Israel RINO, instead of the Dem.
