    Newbee with some Questions

    No. The load pays what the load pays. It'll pay the same to a driver in their first week or a driver that's been out here for 20 years.

    Solar Eclipse 2017....

    I'm all up in it. :D My house is literally 5 miles south of the total eclipse terminator line, so a drive half an hour north up to where KY Dam is gets me in the middle of it.

    Optional Bible class at Michigan elementary school canceled after complaints

    The concept of "released time" dates back to the very early 1900s. It has always focused on elementary school-aged children, because people have known for generations that it's right around the 4th grade age bracket or soon thereafter when social consciousness begins to emerge. It's that 9-11...

    Optional Bible class at Michigan elementary school canceled after complaints

    Won't be the first time. People have incorrectly confused me for all kinds of things. Just because I'm not pro religion doesn't mean I'm anti religion. It's a free country, you can believe what you want, particularly as an adult. I'm not nearly arrogant enough to proclaim there is no God, and...

    Optional Bible class at Michigan elementary school canceled after complaints

    That is what's happening, so there is that. But, also, "...children are released from school classes during school hours to attend religious instruction at a nearby location," a flyer for the class notes. That's state sponsored and state promoted. Thaaaaat's a no-no. Just because, as one...

    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Final Performance

    There are several smaller circuses that will still be around. And completely different circus models, like Cirque du Soleil, which came out of nowhere 30 years ago, and it was a different way of looking at circuses, a different way of touring it, because it wasn't on a train, it didn't have...

    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Final Performance

    It was an easy cheap shot. Couldn't let it pass. :p The show is definitely worth watching, though. It'll be on YouTube in-full. They just did some stuff on horseback that was insane. And watching those women ice skate, on stilts, was a holy crap moment.

    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Final Performance

    The final performance was (is at this moment) being streamed live on YouTube. It marks the end on an era. 146 years. After tonight, if we want to see a bunch of clowns, all we have left is CNN.

    Cargo Van CDL needed?

    A cargo van is not a vehicle which requires a CDL. Some carriers will nevertheless require it, while some do not. You will need a CDL to drive for those carriers that do require it, obviously.

    The Trump Card...

    Maybe in some jobs, but the FBI Director is not a position within the chain of advancement. It's (ostensibly) a 10-year appointed position, subject to the whims of the President (since Hoover, no one has served their full 10 years, with the sole exception of Robert Meuller who served 12 years...

    The Trump Card...

    I agree. While the FBI Director is, in the end, an executive administrative position, you can't just drop a decision-making, delegating executive in that position the way you can for many of the Cabinet positions. It needs to be someone who intimately understands the inner workings of the Bureau.

    The Fake News Depot

    The narrative the Left (and The Press in particular) really wants to keep putting out there is that manufacturing jobs really aren't being lost to Mexico, China or anywhere else, but instead are being lost to automation. One part of the Left and The Press do so as a means to push back against...

    They're not all that hard to find. :D

    The Trump Card...

    I think Joe Lieberman is a stupid choice, right up there with Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education. We don't need a politician running the FBI anymore than we need a Charter/Home School advocate running the Department of Education. Plus, it's a 10 year appointment and Lieberman is like 97...

    Oreilly Fired

    Mostly it's subtle jabs and pokes, that brand of racism where everyone knows you're racist but it's not blatantly overt, but he's said things that A) wouldn't even be said about white people (as a joke), and B) was so over the top that he had to apologize for. Setting the stage is the fact that...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump adds Barack Obama to the list of possible nominees for the Director of the FBI. Democrats vehemently object. They think a former president would give the current president a pass. OK, I made that up.
