The Feds Just Shut Down 110 Truck Driving Schools Overnight — One Taught Class Inside a School Bus Crammed in a Trailer
LinkOn Monday, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice announced a joint crackdown on truck driver training fraud. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration pulled more than 110 driving schools off its Training Provider Registry effective immediately, which means those schools can no longer teach a class, run a road test, or certify a single student.
Another 160-plus schools are now facing the same fate. DHS ran a synchronized sweep of over 200 more locations across 23 states. The Justice Department stood up a new standing task force, Joint Task Force Crossroads of America, just to keep doing this work going forward.
Lots of infuriating details in the article.

The Democrats are always rooting for the enemies of the United States ? Considering Democrats "the enemy" seems like not a great idea to me. I've never heard any Democrat praise the horribly despotic, murderous Iranian regime. Some Democrats have criticized the president for starting an unnecessary war. He said that Iran's nuclear program had been dismantled. He underestimated how difficult toppling the regime would be using only air power. The Ukrainians are fighting to achieve a free, democratic society. I see nothing wrong with supporting them.
AI Overview
"The United States has approximately 45.4 million registered Democrats, according to voter registration data from USAFacts.
Because party registration is not tracked or required in every state, pollsters also measure party support by how many Americans identify with or lean toward the party.
By Registration and PollingRegistered Voters: Around 45.4 million Americans are officially registered as Democrats in states that track party affiliation.
Public Opinion: According to data from the Pew Research Center, about 47% of American adults identify as Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party. This includes roughly 29% who strictly identify as Democrats and 19% who lean
democratic."
Yet, they (Obama) send them money and give only lip service to preventing them from developing a nuclear bomb.

The only thing that keeps me from despairing is that thinking Americans are turning out to vote. Hopefully the shameless Islamo-Communism brings out even more voters who actually give a damn.

Our lifestyle has certain very specific requirements. Canada is a flat no. Most of Europe including Balkan countries plus the usual Eastern retirement countries. South Africa anyone? We seriously looked into Namibia and they changed the rules. Show me a place to move to legally.

I definitely felt like a prisoner in my own country through Obama/Biden era. The stress of watching out country circle the drain and not being able to do anything about it was horrible. And yes, I believe the election was stolen. i.e. January 6th. But Trump came back bigger and better against all odds to stand against the literal invasion of our country by Biden's agenda. Whether by DEI, terrorist students or the UN's foreign onslaught which is still tormenting Europe (except for Poland which will shoot first and ask questions later) Trump still can't get the Democrats to vote for our country over illegals who might eventually vote over citizens.

Wait... so now immigrating legally is a thing? How dare other countries deport random squatters who invade!
That was sarcasm. I mention that because I find that I'm misreading it in others' posts myself.
Surely you know that South Africa has become a crumbling hellscape under black control? And there is nowhere in sub-Saharan Africa That isn't far worse than that? I doubt there is a single place there where people our ages can survive unless they're part of a kleptocratic family that currently holds power.
The real question might be Who would take you? Most of the world is not as tolerant as the US.

My question was “show me a place to move to legally”. The “who would take you” is not an issue. The where would we go is. The US is tolerant? Did you immigrate and thus are familiar with the actual process?

Ceuta is burning! Migrants pulled a young delphin out of the water and killed it. Small boats come in under the cover of darkness and smuggle migrants to the mainland. Stores are closed. Fishermen cannot go out to see. Women and families do not leave their homes. Major demonstrations against tourist and migrants in all larger cities. Was a amnesty and citizenship really such a great idea?

I still think this worldwide invasion/migration is a WEF/UN plot to destabalize the world.the No China, Japan and the surrounding countries won't play.
Of course it is. Just as COVID was. Fauci may have been one bad guy here in the states, but you didn't see any other nation resisting the Fascism.

There were many people complicit with Fauci in his misdeeds. Hopefully many of those will be exposed in the investigations of Fauci ...if they do happen.

US diesel prices are in large part due to exports trying to shore up the rest of the world.
Europe's stubborn proxy war against Russia has cut off its nose to spite its face. This is leading to severe energy shortages with food shortages to follow. Europe seems hell-bent on escalating to an all-out war footing and is converting what industrial capacity they have to arms and munitions. The coming Winter is looking grim. Those with money are already looking to flee to warmer climes in the South of Spain or Florida before the airlines curtail service.
This is really long at over 54 minutes, but may the 1st 8 and last 5 minutes might give most of it without the lengthy details. It sounds like even Norway's North Sea oil fields are giving out.

What is the argument here? If Ukrainian law states no elections under martial law, that's the answer. United States policies or history have zero bearing on the laws of Ukraine.
And this thread is for short political "blurbs," so if the Ukraine argument needs to continue, perhaps a separate thread would be more appropriate. Thanks.

When president Trump was shot before the 2024 election, CNN ran the headline that Trump was helped offstage at a rally because he fell, instead of saying that he had been shot and the Secret Service had to hide and protect him and get him safely off the stage before the shooter could shoot again and kill him. They didn’t even report that other people had been shot in an attack.
This is totally a terrible misrepresentation of the actual news of what happened.
There is no way we need a company that distorts the truth about anything the president says or does, and if they are not doing that, then they simply refuse to show it when he is speaking to the American people.
It is truly a sad thing that the president has to start his own news program in order for the American public, and the rest of the whole world, to hear what he says when he is speaking to people worldwide.

Good morning to all- Yes, it is a sad thing that the First Felon starts his own propaganda program to broadcast his lies and self-promotion to the whole world. Anyone who listens to the verbal garbage coming from the vile old man who is doing so much harm to our country and the world and believes that it is somehow the truth, is more than gullible and more than deluded.
The truth hurts sometimes, and when the truth is so painful that the First Felon must create his own lies-machine to try and get around the truth, the only ones who will be hurt from his lies will be the rest of the world.
you all be safe and keep well- and confusion to the republicans

Why the heavy brainwashing effort to convince us that Putin is the bad guy?
He kicked out the NGOs that are used by the CIA and other tentacles of the City of London.
1st 6 minutes, for the impatient:
