A lot of people just assume that higher speed limits will make roadways more dangerous, because drivers will exceed whatever ceiling is in place. By the sane token, people think lower speed limits will promote safety by tamping down velocity. But in reality (confirmed by study after study- PDF)...

The process has definitely started. It started informally years ago when the House voted 7 times over the years to repeal at least certain parts of it (knowing full well they didn't have the votes to actually repeal it). Each time (plus about 30 other times) they've had piecemeal replacement...

Not when it's a dishonest press that gets attacked. The press in this country (and older countries before us) have a long history of propaganda and dishonesty, and the only way for We the People to win is by attacking the dishonesty. Buzzfeed's CEO flatly stated that in order to be transparent...

As a side note, in addition to getting skewered on Twitter, someone hacked Jim Acosta's Facebook page to show that he died on Jan 11, 2017. That's funny.

Another smackdown was on Big Pharma and biotech. When Trump won the election, those stocks soared, because "Controlling drug prices won't be a priority for Trump. So his election is a positive for pharma stocks and biotechs. He's more likely to look to make changes to Obamacare," said Amy Kong...

Trump really did a WWE smackdown on BuzzFeed and CNN in today's press conference. Called BuzzFeed "garbage" (which they are, especially after inventing a smear story about a couple who has a show on HGTV) and told CNN, while refusing to let CNN's Jim Acosta ask a question, "No. You don't get a...

LTL type loads aren't heavier or lighter, they're simply less-than-truckload. I've hauled in my Sprinter many LTL loads picked up right at an LTL terminal. Didn't need a tag axle for any of them. ;) In an expedited straight truck you'll certainly have plenty of opportunities to haul LTL type...

You never really start making any money in trucking until the truck is paid off. The sooner you pay it off the better. Sure, you can amortize the truck and write off the interest payments, but the amount of taxes saved will come nowhere near the amount saved if you weren't making that bank...

The perpetrator turned himself into police, after confessing to the deed in an interview with Vice magazine. Here's the story on it from the LA Times. Here he is posing with his police citation on Instagram Monday night. "2017 is coming in HOT!!!"

Progressive liberal identity politics, and victimhood. This big-deal Women's March on Washington that's to take place on Jan 21 as supposed to be about protesting that nasty, nasty sexist misogynist Trump and his treatment of women (you know, because he called all women nasty and all women fat...

Happy Happy Happy!

Yeah, well, dismissive witty repartee notwithstanding, this serves as an official notice to stop insulting other members by calling them names, otherwise you're gonna be what one duck does to another duck. Learn the difference between "You're a racist" and "I think you're a racist." One is an...

You Leftie, you. (Trying my best to offend you)

Beer is liquid bread, so both bread and beer is redundant.

You really want to be careful about insulting other members. Especially when it's an opinion backed up by exactly zero facts. I don't. It's a classic tactic of "If you won't think like me, you're the enemy, therefore I must demonize you as much as possible to make me feel better about myself so...

Another term that is gaining wide acceptance, especially by the Left and by immigration activists is that of "illegalized immigrant" as it draws attention away from the individual and focus on the actions of the State, the evil, oppressive bully which actively denies people legal status. "Hey...

It's already happening. We're in the early stages where "undocumented immigrant" is being replaced with "undocumented person" because the use of "immigrant" is exclusionary and demeaning. And, the question is already being asked with the fervor of an adolescent, "How can you call them...

Within the next 15-20 years, electric vehicles alone will reduce the demand for oil by a good 10% (a couple million barrels a day). On top of that, wind and solar power, battery storage technology, “smart” buildings, cheap hydrogen, CNG and LNG will result in lower gas and diesel prices and will...

Well. being a Bengals fan, I'm pulling for the Dolphins. :D

Fortunately, there really aren't very many bans and suspensions. The ones that just keep after it in PMs can be pretty entertaining, though. Those are usually detailed (or at least overviewed with the salient particulars) in the Moderator forum, so that all the Mods know what's going on, and, in...
