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.

What is this, France or something?

aol.com - Muslim mayor says blocked white

"Muslim mayor says he was blocked from White House Eid al-Fitr event"

ANTI MUSLIM! TRUMP!!! TRUMP!! Or can we just say - it's an honest mistake. No, let's just stick with tradition. BIDEN! Democrats! Racist!

"Longtime Prospect Park, New Jersey, Mayor Mohamed Khairullah says he was blocked from attending a White House celebration to mark the end of Ramadan by the Secret Service.

Khairullah, a Muslim who was born in Syria, has been the Democratic mayor of the borough of 6,300 for 17 years.

The White House invited him to its Eid al-Fitr celebration Monday, and he was on his way when he was called and told that he was not cleared by the Secret Service, he said."

INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT. INVITE SOMEONE, BUT YOU CAN'T CLEAR HIM? GEEZ A KID WITH GOOGLE COULD PROBABLY DO THAT TASK.

"Khairullah said he believes that his name is mistakenly on an FBI list and that it has caused him travel problems in the past but that he thought it had been resolved. But agencies have never given him many details, and they have offered no way to remedy it."

TRUMP'S FAULT! BUSH'S FAULT! BUCK STOPS THERE! Ok, fine. Democrat's fault. (Still hoping for years, Liberals say that they had every right to criticize, but they went too far, often blaming Bush or Trump for stuff that had not a thing to do with them)

Or better yet, don't. That keeps your tribalism rising, and your "democracy!" in decline.

Mr Mayor be thankful. You could be in France where they'd subjugate you and target you all day long from the highest levels of government.
