    There’s history in USA between Irish cops and Italian immigrants which cause the formation of the “mafia” or organized crime families.

    It’s long history water under the bridge none the less it did happen and there’s no denying it.

    No denying that is true but to hold onto that perspective based on heritage is weak sauce. I grew up in semi rural MN when I was young there was polak and nword jokes told on a regular basis and culture evolves and perspective. When I was 16 or 17 I was out on a Friday night with my best friend and his family friend. I told a joke that insulted the fact that he was Native American. As I matured it bothered me I was a young ignorant fool with no perspective, it bothered me when I remembered that evening. I was able to see the man I insulted 30 some years later and had the opportunity to apologize. My point is perspectives change and culture or heritage is no excuse.

    Like I said , water under the bridge. I myself don’t recall any issues. Father and grandparents yes. I have no hard feelings whatsoever. But I also know there’s history there is all.

    The one over Utah ? Don’t think it’s a foreign one ?

    Question is ? How the F does it get picked up over Utah ? That’s interior enough to be able to be picked up beforehand ?

    Or just got a good one to stir the pot. lol maybe those 25,000 Chinese nationals that Biden admin let in thru the southern border are launching balloons from our interior ?

    We are being invaded from the inside !!! Haha

    So politically the left is in an uproar over that Alabama ruling trying to tie Trump to it.

    I mean Trump is running for POTUS or is he running for Alabama Governor?

    What a state rules has zero bearing on what a POTUS does without E.O.

    The reach by left media is so wild and people without knowing any better assume the worse to advertise lefty talking points

    I can’t square this one up yet today.

    Not for a whole lot of Irish yet, believe me. I had a non funny "Archie Bunker" father growing up. First generation Irish.
    My sex talk as a teen girl was this, don't you dare get pregnant. If you do by a black I'll kill him and disown you. If you do by a "W" (I'm sure you get that Mike), I'll kill both of you. Tough times my best friends were blk, first room mate after college my blk best friend. I arrived at my Irish families graduation for myself and cousin on the back of a harley with my good italian boy freind...

    My high school had an annualy basketball game between teachers it was Italians verses Irish it was a week of Kaos every year...though in good fun with an underlying message.

    makes sense - Bidens told he's going for a trip on Air Force One so he takes it literally
