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.

Cat Stevens has cancelled his North American tour. Seems his US visa is being slow walked...very slow walked. Recall how the Bush junta deemed him undesireable and banned him from the US, while the plane he was on was over the middle of the Atlantic.

Cat Stevens postpones North American tour and cites visa issues

Stevens is the latest in a string of international musicians and athletes impacted by visa issues, as fees have increased in the past year and processing times have slowed.

Stevens wrote that his team waited months for visa approvals, but “at this point, the production logistics necessary for my show cannot be arranged in time.”

Meanwhile, NBC news found a local pol, currently running for office, who had knocked on the Grand Banc perp's door some days ago. He said the perp first asked him about his stance on gun control, then the conversation moved to Mormons, with the perp quoted as saying "Mormons are the anti-Christ".

Lord Trump was so hot to leverage this attack to advance his narrative about white, Christian, victimhood, and turns out the perp is a white, Christian, Trumper, who hates Mormons. Bet his nibs never tries to walk this back. I suspect he will try to ignore questions about it, and leave it up to Karoline Leavitt to try to explain away Trump's attempt at scapegoating his enemies for this atrocity.
