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.

'Want to know why Mayor Eric Adams is panicking? The numbers are ugly. New York City has no shortage of social problems, but Biden's open borders crisis is really taking a bite out of the Big Apple.


First of all, the news reports here in NYC don't show a panicked mayor. And the New York Post, a conservative newspaper, notes that he's creating an agency to handle the migrant crisis and is asking for help from other mayors. He is also reported to be planning to resettle many migrants across the country. I'm sure Adams isn't happy about the migrant burden here, but he is coping with it, not panicking.

Second of all, regarding FrontPageMag.com as a source for reliable information....especially when it comes to anything involving migrants/immigrants....is not a good idea. It's not a news source but a political publication published by the super conservative, anti-immigrant David Horowitz Freedom Center.

From Wikipedia: "FrontPage Magazine, also known as FrontPageMag.com, is an American political website edited by David Horowitz and published by the David Horowitz Freedom Center. It has been described by scholars and writers as right-wing, far-right, and Islamophobic."

Here's an article from a sociologist who has written about racism in our society. In this piece he spells out how Horowitz's pan of his most recent book is filled with lies, including a supposed quote from the book that was actually a fake created by Horowitz.

And another assessment of Horowitz's white nationalist goals:
