Much of this information is taken from HuffPost, my experiences traveling from Michigan to Upstate New York monthly, and crossing back and forth into and out of Canada at the Niagara Falls Bridge Crossing. It is hard to misbehave on the Rainbow Bridge crossing going from Niagara NY to Niagara Ontario or vice versa. There is usually traffic and it is closely monitored. What was an innocent trip changed after 911. Surveillance was stricter as were...

Arne in an earlier post this morning commented; “The ruling by Judge Wallace in Colorado that trump engaged in insurrection has not been discussed in another posting yet. If he is legally the instigator, is he guilty of manslaughter?” A Colorado judge on Friday (17 November) found that former President Donald Trump engaged in insurrection during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol but rejected an effort to keep him off the state’s...

Industry has been talking about AI (Artificial Intelligence) for a while now. And of course, industry has been looking to reduce the amount of labor input with AI. Having used computerized systems such as MRPII, ERP, etc., I have always followed the wisdom of people such as Oliver Wight and George Plossl. The system is as accurate as the input to it. Which means, you have to check your work. A system can also be used to intentionally mislead in its...

Our opposition seeds stories (CNBC) in the media pretty frequently like this. They try to make it seem like getting a discharge on student loans in bankruptcy is possible for most people. It is not. AB: Alan is voicing his displeasure with media claiming many people are getting student loan relief. They are not. In the end the battle for relief for another 40 million people needs to occur. “More student loan borrowers walk away from their debt in...

Infidel’s commentary covering the recent referendums in Ohio and elections in Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Rhode Island. All of which were ending in resulting in wins for people.

Successful Economy or failing economy, this person of no distinction should be denied the presidency. November 13, 2023, Letters from an American, Prof. Heather Cox Richardson In a speech Saturday in Claremont, New Hampshire, and then in his Veterans Day greeting yesterday on social media, former president Trump echoed German Nazis. “In honor of our great Veterans on Veteran’s Day [sic] we pledge to you that we will root out the...

As taken from Civil Discourse. The attack on Pelosi’s husband. This is not major news until you get to the third paragraph. You then read about how the fat xxx is making light of the attack on Paul Pelosi with hammer. I can tell you what treatment prisoners might receive in person from levels 1 to 4. I would love to see trump in a level 4. Won’t happen. Possibility of a Level 2 with exposure to other prisoners. Watch how you name quickly fades....

I agree with Lloyd’s dad Gabe and also Lloyd. Big trucks including construction vehicles exceed the speed limit. Their weight does not enable them to stop in short distances. The results of a collision with automobiles is catastrophic with people in cars being seriously injured or dying. The volumes being moved long distances are better served by rail to nearby land ports and off loaded to short haul trucks. This is what mostly occurs with loads...
Read More »Getting serious about illegal immigration
I see where the latest gambit by House Republicans is to tie Ukraine aid to immigration “reform.” Setting aside the fact that aid to Ukraine is, like most foreign aid, a subsidy for US business, the linkage to immigration is a red herring. All the current approaches are failing, are doomed, and are a waste of taxpayer money, something the GOP pretends to care about.I’ve long held that the solution to most undocumented immigration is to reduce...
