    This will make your blood boil

    If this kid was normal, corporal punishment would probably work to correct his behavior. However, it's pretty obvious he has mental issues and has no business being placed in ANY daycare center, especially one with smaller children. Too bad someone couldn't have done some kind of interview with...

    Mass shooting in Colorado theater

    I know it's unrealistic, but it might be a move in the right direction if the news organizations chose NOT to publish the names and pictures of these nut cases when they commit these atrocities. In the final analysis they're probably looking to lash out at society for some percieved...

    Will the Boy Scouts be Obama's next target for destruction?

    It's nice in this day and age to be able to stand up and cheer an organization that fights for its core values and principles in spite of opposition from the usual PC crowd and the mainstream media. Having spent quite a few years in the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and a couple more in the Explorers...

    Barack hussein obama - new insight into his background

    Some interesting reading for those wondering why recent socialist-leaning statements from the most radical left-wing POTUS in our nation's history have been mostly ignored by the mainstream media, and why they refused to properly investigate his background during his candidacy: The Communist by...

    Ron Paul revolution dead

    The difference between this statement and one from BBob is that maybe at some moment in time there might have actually been a Ron Paul revolution or a movement among an insignificant group of supporters (+/- 10%) - but like a fart at the beach, his "movement" had no staying power and was hardly...

    Obama built your business, not you

    Take this film clip, combine it with "the private sector is doing fine" and the GOP will have one of the best campaign commercials ever made against an opponent. If the Romney camp won't do it maybe somebody will splice some of these extremely revealing statements together and put them on...

    London 2012: US Ralph Lauren uniform made in China

    Evidently somebody somewhere thinks it's important, because the US Olympic committee has announced the uniforms for the winter olympics in 2014 will be made in the good old USofA. I imagine the execs at Ralph Lauren went into crisis mode and were glad to make the change as well. Instead of all...

    Load 1!

    They sure have a lot of cheerleaders on this site. How many expedite trucks in their fleet now?

    Back soliciting

    One would think that Menlo would have some language in their contracts addressing this issue if they allow their loads to be brokered. Personally, I haven't seen a Menlo contract recently but it could easily be seen where nearly every carrier out there could be in violation of somebody else's...

    Back soliciting

    Taking this hypothetical case as an example: Panther takes Menlo shipment from XYZ Co. and offers it to Pilgrim Expedite - a small 15-truck local carrier that's doing pretty well for itself. A year later Pilgrim Exp has acquired another carrier and is now in position for Menlo approval, and...

    Obama's tax cut plans

    At the risk of sounding like "the sky is falling" it's not unrealistic to point out the signs that are everywhere within the country sending out warnings about excessive govt spending at all levels. Look at all the cities and towns across the US that are already in or heading towards bankruptcy...

    Back soliciting

    IMHO the short answer is no. 3PLs like Menlo are good sources of freight for small, growing carriers and you shouldn't limit yourself by staying away from them just because there might be some carrier overlap with one of their many clients. Granted, this is a convoluted situation but it results...

    No good

    It was just announced that Airbus is going to open a new plant in the U.S. that will create over 1000 new jobs - not in MI or OH, but in Mobile, AL, a right-to-work state. Keep in mind that Airbus is a European company and is heavily unionized in their plants over there. Notice the trend of all...

    Obama's tax cut plans

    And missed several others. First of all, it used to be common knowledge that it's asking for disaster for govt to raise taxes in a slow economy. Obama admitted this in 2009, and has implicitly admitted it again by agreeing to once again to continue lower tax rates. While we're at it, we ought...

    Why they need to go.

    The best we can do toward achieving that goal is to have a strong enough military to deter any country that would even think about challenging us - it's called peace through strength. The current occupant of the White House doesn't understand this concept.

    No charge for Texas dad who killed daughter's 'rapist'

    Amen to that. Has there been any mention of Flores' citizenship status?

    This really bodes ill for the future of America

    It's just an article by a liberal author, based on false premises and inaccurate assumptions. Give some of these members of the younger generation about 20 years to get married, raise a family and become familiar with shouldering financial and social responsibilities. The picture of the real...

    Supreme Court Upholds Individual Mandate

    Also an article that offers a viewpoint that makes the SCOTUS decision a lot more reasonable: "...Finally, he struck down as unconstitutional, the Obama-care idea that the federal government can bully states into complying by yanking their existing medicaid funding. Liberals, through...

    Supreme Court Upholds Individual Mandate

    I think we can all agree that once an entitlement is put in place by either party, it becomes entrenched and will be there forever or until it runs out of money. But anyone who thinks "they are all cut from the same cloth" isn't paying any attention to their records. Obama's record is far worse...
