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.

Below is a link to a Fox article that makes up a more comprehensive fairy tale maligning the benevolent Venezuelans. Irony warning, Fox video headline CO Task Force Targeting Venezuelan Gang Activity. The state is going after the same Gang Activity that the mayor of Denver claims is imaginary.

I always love these “How do you know it’s…” posts from the left: nothing says ‘I don’t know what I’m talking about on this subject’ any clearer than when they almost brag about not knowing something. They’re Venezuelan gangs. They know that because they know who they arrested, thr ‘Cookie Monster’ among them.

The reality is that our left wing friends just don’t want to know the effects of the policies they spout off about and the politicians they support. Because if they did want to know they’d a) have to admit they are wrong 99% of the time b) would have to admit the other side is right and c) would have to acknowledge they’ve been lied to for decades in some cases.

But all that requires a level of mental and emotional fortitude that’s just not happening.
