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.

Given that it now turns out that damage to the Ford was much more extensive than we were led to believe, and

Given that Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon has been virtually mum on reporting the extent of damage to US bases by Iran, and

Given that Iran claimed early to have hit US ships…..

Who shall we believe about the Ford?

For now, I’m believing the Pentagon that claims it was a fire started in the laundry room.

But I’m holding that explanation a lot less firmly than I was two months ago.

Even the right wing Zerohedge is beginning to question the official narrative:
