Trucking in America could make a legitimate comeback if we clear the roads of all the people who shouldn't be driving on them. The entire industry is overwhelmed by fake driving schools giving out fake certificates to people who can't even read the road signs!

And often these people owe money to the "wolves" that brought them over, essentially making them slaves who have to keep driving to "earn" their freedom.

Just a mess all around.

CeeMcG's avatar

A hazardous mess at that! Get them off our roads and out of our country!

Terrifying to think you could be doing everything right and then just get pancaked by an idiot texting while driving his multi-ton death machine down the freeway.

Don't forget the waves of pot smoke I encounter every day, even just while driving around the neighborhood. The highways are orders of magnitude worse. Then there are the people who think stop signs and double yellow lines are just suggestions. There's a lot of people who need to not be on the roads.

CeeMcG's avatar

California legalizing pot was one of the worst things that could happen on our already hazardous roads. Stoners out there everyday, stopping for green lights, merging on a freeway at 20 mph… 😡😡

I had one of these monsters ride my bumper, laughing, going 75+ mph. As soon as I could, I just got out or the lane and far away. Not funny.

GregWA's avatar

didn't see your texting comment before I wrote mine--hat tip!

GregWA's avatar

Has anyone else noticed that trucks veer out of their lanes a lot more than they used to? I chalk it up to texting. But it should be a Felony. And any citizen who catches a truck doing it, say on their dash cam, should get a reward for reporting it.

Flock 'em!

Karmy's avatar

I also noticed that a lot of 18 wheelers seem to ride in the high speed lane when there’s nobody else on the road. I thought it was illegal for them to ride in that lane unless they were just passing. Am I wrong about that?

GregWA's avatar

I think you're right...and now that you mention it, I've noticed it too.

I wonder if we petitioned our State Patrol to ramp up enforcement would they listen? I suppose they take their orders from the Governor. But get this: truckers policed by Blue States also have to drive in Red States! You don't need all the States to step up...just enough!

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

In Florida DeSantis put through a law that all cruising in the fast lanes is illegal.

You mean even the people who are the Most Important People On the Road would have to stoop to moving over when someone faster comes along? Even someone Beneath Them? Oh the humanity!

I wish there were more lanes dedicated to cars only like those on the NJ Turnpike !

David Nelson's avatar

I wish there was a lane for special people. And I wish it was in New Jersey.

Anne Emerson Hall's avatar

I was under the impression that truck use of the left lane varied by state or locality. There are signs posted here in Atlanta prohibiting truck traffic on the far left; I don’t recall seeing them when living in California. Of course, that might reveal that even a competent English speaker can ignore road signs, and I thank the good Lord that I did not thus imperil anyone.

Elizabeth Pierce's avatar

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

Yes indeed. Coming home from NC 10 days ago, noticed this. And wondered. Didn't connect the dots, though I was well aware of the CDL scandal. And from passenger seat for a few years have often craned my neck to give a hard and dirty look at the black-haired black bearded (ooh! that's Rayciss!) driver--because that's as far as I will go to express anger at the driver's behavior.

In New York, DMV workers were helping illegals cheat the test!

https://ig.ny.gov/news/ny-post-inside-crafty-dmv-scam-rigged-long-island-truck-driving-licenses-cheaters-never-win

A Long Island DMV supervisor scammed the system by having her sister don disguises to take commercial license exams for unqualified wanna-be truck drivers, prosecutors said Thursday.

Department of Motor Vehicles supervisor Kanaisha Middleton, 33, oversaw the cash-for-license scheme for more than six months, employing her older sister, 35-year-old Jaime Middleton, to wear disguises and even fake mustaches to take commercial driving exams for others, the Nassau DA’s office said.

Now, could President Trump somehow make Ivermectin OTC? And then ask US drug makers to manufacture it? I got a recent order from India, but I would feel better getting it from Made In America sources.

From the above linked article:

"In other words, HCQ against Covid belongs to the select group of the most thoroughly proven drugs in existence...The Oxford study found a 57% reduction in symptomatic Covid-19 cases. Before I continue with the article, let me shock people a little with a statement: if this had been used, the world would not have needed to shut down, and Covid would have been contained as early as 2020. The pandemic would have been a “non-event,” instead of being the greatest trauma the world has experienced since World War II, in addition to the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in human history. Well, but hydroxychloroquine is cheap, off-patent. On the other hand, no one would have made billions in profits."...

"Today, August 2026, there are 106 studies with clinical results on ivermectin in Covid. And among pre-exposure, when you take it to prevent contagion, or post-exposure, when you take it after having contact with an infected person to try to avoid the disease, there are 18 studies. And absolutely all of the prophylaxis studies are positive. Every single one."...

"During the pandemic, when anyone tried to draw attention to the emerging evidence on ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, a huge portion of the population felt morally authorized to laugh at whoever touched on the subject, interrupt people’s speech, insult them, or treat them as crazy."...

"What happens to a society when no one can admit they were wrong anymore?"

Nancy Benedict's avatar

I can still vividly picture the press conference in May of ‘20 when President Trump talked about the Ivermectin/Azithromycin combo from Dr. Zelenko. The HCQ stops viral replication and inflammation and the AZM prevents pneumonia. I’m not over it. I’m still angry.

"Zn2+ Inhibits Coronavirus and Arterivirus RNA Polymerase Activity In Vitro and Zinc Ionophores Block the Replication of These Viruses in Cell Culture"

Published in PLoS Pathogens on November 4, 2010

From an AI response on the Brave browser:

"Ralph Baric co-authored a landmark 2010 study demonstrating that zinc ions inhibit coronavirus RNA polymerase activity and that zinc ionophores block viral replication in cell culture. The research, published in PLOS Pathogens, established that while zinc effectively stops the virus, it requires an ionophore to transport it across the cell membrane to reach the viral replication machinery.

Key Ionophores and Mechanisms: The study specifically identified pyrithione (an extract of Persian shallots) as an effective ionophore for delivering zinc into cells to inhibit SARS-CoV and equine arterivirus. Subsequent discussions and analyses of Baric's work have highlighted other potential ionophores, including hydroxychloroquine, EGCG (from green tea), and quercetin, as compounds capable of facilitating zinc's antiviral effects against RNA viruses"

I remember watching an interview with Dr. Zelenko, sometime in early 2020, where he talked about coming across that Ralph Baric published paper during his research for possible treatments...

Nancy Benedict's avatar

Yes! I take Quercitin with zinc daily. I had forgotten that HCQ was a zinc ionophore, hence its antiviral benefit. That’s why it was also on the FLCCC protocol. But it’s also taken for lupus, for inflammation.

Kelly Reardon's avatar

So starting early in 2020, my husband and I added extra zinc and quercetin to our vitamin/mineral supplement regimen...

We also added NAC and upped our Vit C, Vit D3, magnesium, & selenium...

Neither one of us has had so much as a single sniffle since well before 2020...

And my former "hay fever allergy" has finally been neutralized...

But those of us who do our own research are clearly just selfish and crazy conspiracy theorists!

Also since 2021, after doing some more of our own research, my husband and I both started using Lugol's Iodine (2%)...

I split my dose and take some in water (in the AM) and in milk or yogurt (in the PM)...In the morning, with the dose in water, I swish it around my mouth and gargle it before I drink it down...my husband just drinks his dose down...

Beside the immunological benefits, my husband takes the Lugol's Iodine for his prostrate.

I take a high dose of Lugol's Iodine for my thyroid (or rather for what's left of my thyroid after having had a partial thyroidectomy 24 years ago--I don't need any thyroid hormone replacement meds anymore!!!)...and also for breast and ovary health...

I know someone who had covid in March 2020. He was actually lucky to be hospitalized early in the pandemic because the hospital gave him 12 doses of HCQ. If it was later in the pandemic, those deadly hospital protocols using Remdesivir would've been used.

JG Smoot's avatar

What you are missing is that it was NOT a pandemic. It was an intentional act coordinated between public health agencies and the biodefense industry/agencies.

The intent was to test the acceptance of the public to an emergency "vaccine" and to gauge how far they could go with public controls, lockdowns and suspension of your civil liberties.

Whether or not there was intentional poisoning and killing by the "vaccines" might still be open for debate although the evidence is mounting that this was a program to lower population numbers worldwide.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

The answer has to do with something called EUA early use authorization. No drug can be legal unless it goes through time consuming trials. If a drug can help a serious illness it can get an EUA if it can show that no other approved drug exists for the condition. Covid vaccine was never put through any trials but it was granted an EUA. In order to do this they had squash ivermectin and hydrochloride . That’s why those two were subjected to constant disparaging so that the claim could be made that no other drug exists to treat COVID. Follow the money. This is a disgusting story and a whole host of prone should go to jail for perjury at least. If not for murder

Makis announced, I believe it was yesterday, that he is partnering with Allfamilypharmacy in the distribution of at least ivermectin and Fenbendazole. HCQ might also be available. Telehealth consult is a prerequisite. I think their products are made in USA, but not positive.

GregWA's avatar

I can get Ivermectin, too. But the cost is about 20-40 times what it costs in India. That's my beef. Give us "Most Favored Nation" pricing on Ivermectin. Even if our cost was twice MFN, it would be like $0.10 a dose rather than $2.00

Nancy Benedict's avatar

It’s very expensive though from Allfamily. It needs to be more affordable. It’s cheap from India. We can do that as well.

With notable exceptions, most of the prescription drugs are completely unnecessary, and are merely propping up people who will not make the necessary lifestyle modifications to resolve their health issues.

A significant malignancy is Statins. Nobody needs them. There is no benefit. They exist because the industry managed to find a targetable metric they can change with drugs. I have news for you - people who take statins still have heart attacks. Just ask my brother in law. He and his wife are obese, yet the standard of care is to give them blood pressure and cholesterol meds. He just suffered his first heart attack (which he thankfully survived).

Both of them have metabolic syndrome. But there's no drug for that, so it is not highlighted in their annual physicals. How do I know? It's easy. Go to MyChart (or whatever your provider uses) and look at your lipid panels. Then divide your Triglycerides by your HDL. If the ratio is above 2.0 (for men) or 1.6 (for women), you have a problem.

You might say "my blood sugar is under control". All this means is your pancreas can still produce enough insulin to cram the sugar into your cells. Eventually, however, your body will become insulin resistant and the blood sugar will spike. Glory hallelujah, you now have another condition that is targetable by drugs.

Or, you can determine your ratio and take control of the situation. Cut out the sugar and grain and the situation will resolve. You will probably lose weight, and you will almost certainly need to stop your blood pressure meds. While you're at it, stop taking the statins, too.

Stop feeding the Pharma beast. Take control of your health and learn self control. It's one of the fruits of the spirit, after all.

Christine's avatar

I couldn't agree more! Who cares how cheap the drugs get. Quit taking the damn drugs! They do not produce anything approximating health. They produce life long complications, chronic diseases, untold side effects, and millions of shady dollars to pharma execs. No thank you. Let food be thy medicine.

John Galt?'s avatar

Exactly. They allow you to exist in a perpetual state of ill health. You don't have a shortage of statins and need to supplement.

And why am I so confident about this? Look up Dr. Anthony Jay or Dr. Ben Bikman on Youtube. Both are real, credentialed scientists. Both homeschoolers.

Notwithstanding Johnson’s inert bill, there is something that needs to be said about Congress, and now is the time to say it.

Eighteen months ago, there was optimism that a Republican-led Congress, supporting the Republican administration, would get some things done. After all, when the Democrats had remotely similar circumstances, they succeeded in ramming through all manner of insane shit, such as taxpayer funded gender transitions of children, Obamacare, and giving more benefits to illegals than citizens.

After a year or so of inaction, there was hope that Congress would codify some of the actions the President had taken. Doing so in advance of the mid-terms would have been excellent strategy.

Instead, it appears most Republicans want to follow the democrats, and run out the clock on the President.

Then, things will go back to normal: open border, rampant fraud and congressional grifting, Green New Deal, restoration of USAID, the SPLC, and BLM to their rightful pinnacles of glory, increased crime, and NGOs and non-profits swimming in taxpayer funds... damn, makes one long for the old days...

Don't worry. That "utopia" is again coming into view.

I forget who originally deployed this line… it sounds like Ann Coulter, but is actually attributed to Kimmel, paraphrasing, "The failure of the Republicans to get anything done in this two-year window of opportunity is as far-fetched as Tom Jones not getting laid after a concert."

SimulationCommander's avatar

Republicans are just the Washington Generals to the Democrats Harlem Globetrotters. It looks like they're on opposite sides, but they're really part of the show.

Many members of the GOP would rather be the minority party, because talking shit about the party in power is WAY easier than BEING the party in power -- who is expected to actually do stuff.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

The silence is propped up by Trump still thinking Warp Speed was a great idea.

And he has never even acknowledged the people who were injured or died from the covid DeathVax.

The covid jabs are still available.

And there is some sort of "mind control" going on with the medical community. When I try to talk to my VA providers about the harms from the jabs, the whole atmosphere changes. Their eyes seem to glaze over and they turn their heads, which is an indication they either don't want to talk, or maybe told not to talk. Either scenario is unacceptable.

How can I ever trust them again when they tell me what is wrong with my health?

PonyBoy's avatar

Kathleen, President Trump neither named "Operation Warp Speed" or created the jab. That was all the creation of Anthony Fauci and the bureaucrats running the Public Health Group.

I'm sorry you believe different.

Facts matter.

Best advise I can offer is, stay as far away from doctors and hospitals that you can.

They are all part of the corporate business world and only want your money.

Your health is their 2nd concern.

Anything on the new mRNA Covid vaccines approved by the cdc/fda Kennedy/trump?

Kelly Reardon's avatar

https://interestofjustice.substack.com/p/new-covid-19-mrna-shots-approved

From the above linked article:

"FDA defines gene therapy by mechanism. A gene therapy is a product that seeks to “modify or manipulate the expression of a gene or to alter the biological properties of living cells.” mRNA is a gene therapy...An mRNA product is built to get into your cells and instruct them to make a protein your body wasn’t making, which modifies gene expression and alters the biological properties of living cells...

Moderna told its own investors the same thing in SEC filings, where lying carries criminal exposure, stating that mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA.

The mechanism test is met, and everybody working on this knows it’s met...

FDA has never argued about mechanism, because it can’t...

Call it gene therapy and FDA’s long-term follow-up guidance applies. That guidance exists because FDA understands that products altering how your cells behave can cause delayed adverse events, meaning harm that doesn’t surface for years, so it builds a framework for assessing that risk and recommends following recipients for as long as FIFTEEN YEARS.

Call it a vaccine and you get a strain change supplement under 21 C.F.R. § 601.2, the rule that lets a manufacturer swap a piece of an already-licensed product and lean on the old clinical file instead of running a new human trial. It was written for flu, a platform researchers have watched in human beings since the 1940s."...
