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’s Humiliating!’ Tucker Carlson Rages Over Netanyahu ‘Controlling’ US and Trump
Mediaite Wed, September 24, 2025 at 9:08 AM EDT

Bibi’s running around — this is a fact, I’m not guessing about this because I talked to people he said it to — is running around the Middle East, his region in his own country and telling people point blank, just stating it, “I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.” He’s saying that — and again I’m not guessing at all, that’s a fact. I dare them to say that’s not true because it is true. They know it’s true. I’m an American. How do you think it makes me feel even if I didn’t vote for Trump, which I did, I campaigned for Trump, but even if I even if was Joe Biden. I’m an American, you can’t treat — It’s too humiliating. I can’t handle that, and I shouldn’t have to put up with that.

He referred to Israel’s war as an “expansion” and accused critics of only responding to his critiques by getting personal and labeling him a “bigot.”

“They just scream at you and call you names, and I guess I’m just blessed because I don’t believe that about myself, so that doesn’t hurt me,” Carlson said. “You know, if they said, well you’ve gained 10 pounds, you might hurt my feelings. But calling me a bigot doesn’t because I know that I’m not.”

Israeli officers commandeered Pentagon meetings during June’s Israel-Iran war: Tucker Carlson
Thursday, 02 October 2025

Israeli officers stormed meetings at the Pentagon during June’s Israel-Iran war, issuing orders unchecked while Trump administration officials stood by doing nothing, says a former Fox News host, raising fresh questions about foreign influence on US military decisions.

Remember that ICC arrest warrant for "Bibi"? A candidate for mayor of NYC says that, if Netanyahu set foot in NYC, he would act on that warrant, and arrest him for war crimes. So, now, that candidate is being painted as "anti-Semitic". This is Kathryn Wylde, Partnership for New York City president and CEO, saying that the "anti-Semitic" narrative, is the biggest issue in the mayoral race. The relevant part starts around the 6:30 mark in the interview.

NYC has proven to be resilient enough to survive bad mayors and public policies, says Kathy Wylde

Make of all this, what you will.
