    After Sessions' press conference, Wolfe was so excited that he popped two rivets on his Levi's.

    The Trump Card...

    Here's an interesting piece from the NYT about how Trump's merit-based immigration might work. It's interesting because of the surprising numbers (although not that surprising), and because the author of the piece, Julie Hirschfeld Davis, hasn't quite yet figured out how to craft it so that it...

    The Trump Card...

    CNN picked up this story and ran with it, because, you know, ... Trump. The entire story consists of Juan Garcia Mosqueda's very one-sided (and factually-lite) account of the incident here he was detained and then deported back to his native Argentina. The poor, poor man, who owns an art...

    The Trump Card...

    And on that very note, Vox Media has a piece where they go on and on about the "well, yeah, duh!" reality of skilled, merit based immigration, and then falsely creates two different camps (that want the same thing for the same reasons), of one camp that encourages highly educated or skilled...

    The Trump Card...

    One small note, though... People who overstay their visas (people who were vetted and allowed in, but stayed here even after their visa expired) are the exception. They are nevertheless subject to deportation, but overstaying a visa is a civil infraction, not a criminal infraction.

    The Trump Card...

    Incidentally, another thought.... When someone tries to refute the deportation of illegal immigrants, saying immigrants commit fewer crimes than do Americans, so we shouldn't deport ALL illegal immigrants, just slap 'em. Seriously, Maybe it will knock some sense into them. It is true that...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump did say that he wanted to move towards a merit-based immigration. I agree. I think the question asked of prospective immigrants should be... Ask not what our country and do for you, but that can you do for our country! On a side note, the Republicans have had 7 years to come up with an...

    The Trump Card...

    Nancy and Chuck are both senile. I couldn't believe all the Democrats sat there pouting, with the classic, "Oh, yeah? I'll shoe YOU!" display. Children, every one of them. Most of the folks at CNN were realistic about the speech, except Christ Cuomo, who picked apart everything Trump said and...

    As to the content of the deleted message, she is mistaken. Utterly. No it wasn't quite an important meeting for the President, at all. The HBCU leaders were there for a quick listening season with the president, and then were to spend significant time with representatives of The Cabinet. The...

    Class of CDL required for a straight truck

    A straight truck is a single vehicle, not a combination vehicle (unless you tow another vehicle behind it).

    New Federal requirement for CDL drivers

    There are a few loads where the requirement up front is a CDL (sometimes with a HAZMAT endorsement even for a non-HAZMAT load), just as there are up-front requirements for no pets and other things. If you don't meet those requirements then you are unlikely to even be offered to load to begin...

    Van market now vs last year?

    Moot nailed it. Six months. In six months you can make some really good money, because the perception is the only real expenses are fuel and oil.

    It's not really even a blip, per se. The National Debt, and the Budget, are still on Obama's time clock. and will remain so until Congress authorizes any new appropriations. The government has a snotload of intragovernment holdings, which are Government Account Series (GAS) securities held by...

    New Federal requirement for CDL drivers

    Might be funny, but security personnel and shipping clerks have a very different opinion of drivers who do not have a CDL.

    The Fake News Depot

    I wanted to post about it because, well, it's very hard to locate a story about it that doesn't make the claim that Trump said the media itself is the enemy of the people, further cementing the whole dictator narrative. And then using that foundational context, literally a false premise...
