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.

LurkerMom: OldJoe is ruining America.

Umm, maybe it's not Biden. Maybe it's something that requires a functioning mirror:

-- The red state murder rate was 33% higher than the blue state murder rate in both 2021 and 2022.

--2022 was the 23rd consecutive year that murder plagued Trump-voting states at far higher levels than Biden-voting states.

-- 8 out of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2022 voted for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020.

-- From 2000 to 2022, the average red state murder rate was 24% higher than the average blue state murder rate.

-- Red states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama are America’s murder capitals and have had the highest three murder rates for 15 of the last 23 years.

-- And no, it's not because of blue cities in red states. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022.

Also, as we've discussed here repeatedly, immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born people. And studies at the state level show similar results: researchers at the CATO Institute, a libertarian think tank, looked into Texas in 2019. They found that undocumented immigrants were 37.1% less likely to be convicted of a crime.

And as we've also repeatedly shown, crime is down all across America under the Biden administration compared to the Trump years.

You and sheriff Jones are in a cult.
