    The Trump Card...

    On a side note, I think it's hilarious how the media and the left are portraying as vicious, vile, subhuman and evil, Trump's comments where he attacked, attacked I tell you, the parents of a Muslim US soldier killed in the line of duty in Iraq, right after the father of the solder...

    The Trump Card...

    And he didn't even say the quote in that meme. The quote is fabricated and falsely attributed to Obama. The first half of the quote, the phrase "she will say anything and change nothing," was part of a voiceover narration used in a radio spot. While Obama "approved this message," he did not...

    The DNC: Wickiwacked

    The President does not have a security clearance, and thus there is no clearance to be pulled. The entire system of classified National Security Information in the US, the entire concept of a security clearance, exists purely by executive order. By default the President has access to any and all...

    The DNC: Wickiwacked

    In baseball, a runner on second base is stealing the signs from the catcher and relaying them to the batter. The batter knows what's coming, and proceeds to rip a double to the gap or hit a home run. The pitcher, catcher and everyone else on the team is thoroughly embarrassed by this, and...

    Trade agreements (NAFTA, TPP)

    Sure they could move to Mexico. And, tariffs would certainly discourage it. But it's not as simple as wages and tariffs, as there is also the tax code which literally encourages businesses to relocate overseas (foreign profits are not taxed, generally). It's complicated, but still, with free...

    Cargo Van check engine light/ Transit

    That's exactly what medium duty cargo vans are designed for - long miles, heavy loads (within the vehicle's weight rating), miles of mountains and towing capability. The only expediting-specific adaptations required are creature comforts like a bunk and other amenities. They are designed right...

    Does low paying loads affect you're attitude/work ethic?.

    Do low paying loads affect my attitude? Yes. Do low paying loads affect my work ethic? No. Regardless of the rate, if I accept the load my work ethic tells me to do the job I was contracted to do, and I will. Like Xiggi said, if you accept the load you run it like any other load. However, my...

    Trade agreements (NAFTA, TPP)

    Generally, free trade is good for business, bad for workers (in the US). Free trade is international trade left to its natural course without tariffs, quotas, or other restrictions. If there is, say, an import duty of 10% on goods made in Mexico, that would add to the purchase price of goods...

    So... What is the Story on Laredo...?

    Don't get out and wander around on the grass beside or behind the truck stops. then. They're not like, _every_where_, and it's mostly dogs and other pets that get bitten, but people do get snakebit, too. The veterinary clinics in Laredo average about 3 snake-bitten pets per week per clinic...

    The Trump Card...

    Rather than take anything they say at face value, and then later on either be disappointed at reality or worse, refuse to believe reality because it doesn't mesh with what I want it to be, I view everything either side says as completely and utter BS, and then see how it fleshes out from there...

    The Trump Card...

    People will believe anything as long as it massages their own beliefs and agendas, especially if it massages them in the same way that a narcotic quick fix does. This is particularly true of both politics and religion, two subjects which should be closely scrutinized with skepticism, but rarely are.
