Howard Buffett, Warren’s oldest son, has become a crusader at the border, using his organizations and wealth to boost security efforts of local authorities and volunteer groups, according to a recent report.

While his interest in border security may seem odd, a closer look at the 64-year-old billionaire and philanthropist reveals he’s no stranger to the issue. Buffett owns a ranch in Cochise County, Arizona, that sits just 300 yards from the U.S.-Mexico border.

In addition, a report by The Phoenix New Times indicated a close relationship between Buffett and law enforcement, with the former reportedly gifting $30 million to date to the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and similar groups.

So, couldn't folks who have property on the border give the okee dokee to build a wall there? I mean once PDJT gets the money out of the congress. Any funding available could be used there as a start right? Of course the chuckalosi clown show wants to beef up security at the ports of entry where we all know all the illegals report to cross. Right?

Well, well. I am pleasantly surprised that Son of a Buffet is doing the right thing. I’m no fan of Warren (his investment acumen yes, his worldview, no), but he brought his son up right it seems. Kudos to Warren for that.

This reminds me of Gordon Gekko’s (kind of) famous ‘greed’ speech where he says in part: “...and greed, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation call the USA.”.
That’s the 1987 movie ‘Wall Street’.

His grandfather was Republican. Maybe it skips a generation.

I don’t know about that. It appears more like his son is refelcting his father’s investment acumen. He’s defending the value of his significant property interests.

Remember: It’s always about the money, especially when they say its not. ;)

Well its a good thing that the apple fell far from the tree for this one.

[rktman]

Not likely.

Warren Buffett’s son staying as Illinois sheriff stint ends

https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20181208/news/312089966

The younger Buffett was a longtime volunteer with the Macon County Sheriff’s Office before he was appointed in late 2017 to fill the previous sheriff’s remaining term.

Buffett’s term ended Nov. 30, but he tells the (Decatur) Herald and Review that he has no plans to leave the area and will continue advancing his Decatur-based foundation, which has donated about $100 million to local projects over the past two decades.

Greed may be Buffet Jr’s motive too. I know his ranch and the illegal hordes haveccrossed there for decades.

“Negotiating” to these people is accepting 100% of the Dem position and starting from that point to compromise somewhere to the Left of that.

Howard on the left, there.

Warren Buffett might not have good worldviews but I think Warren raised his kids correctly. Great job, Warren.

Here come the heavy hitters... :)

Partner, we still need a 30 Tall Wall on our Southern Border from San Diego to the Big Bend National Park in Texas and the other 30' Tall Wall from the Big Bend State Park to Brownsville, Texas, period.

Partner, you hit it on the nose with that statement about our CEO's in this country right now.

Hopefully, we have some good CEO's but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer each year.

The CEO's of big corporations have sold their souls to the ChiComs. The ChiComs are profiteering big time from the alignment that U.S. CEO's have taken. The Chicom government is so corrupt in nepotism, graft, and outright theft of American technogy and $$$ to top it off.

The CEO's of this great country have let "Supplier Partnerships" have all of this free technology and these companies set up the manufacturing for these CEO's at the expense of the American Worker. This needs to stop right now, since American manufacturers are the best in the world.

President Trump has brought back approximately 500,000 manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., which is outstanding to say the least but we need to get back some of the 6 Million manufacturing jobs that we have lost to the ChiComs.

Partner, we agree with ya that we need to stop malfunctioning in all of our Corporations in the U.S. In fact, every single CEO in a U.S. should ask themselves how many American Jobs are lost by taking this action. I know it seems like we are asking for the moon but we have lost so many American Jobs to the ChiComs all for the sake of profiteering every quarter.
