The Art of War is required reading in the U.S. Army war college and most officers have read it long before they get there. When warriors are permitted to fight the battles, winners and losers are quickly decided. When politicians get into the game, the wars go on and on.

If you are talking about a short-term emotional response, you are correct. Impeaching Trump will help the Democrats feel better, just like defeating Hillary is helping the Republicans feel good now. But longer term, and speaking about winning elections in 2018 and beyond, the Republicans would...

Reading a bit about this, here are some interesting quotes from various sources. 1. "We’re not likely to see an impeachment anytime soon, for the same reasons that the Republicans were unable to stop Trump from winning the nomination: Trump has consolidated the GOP base as his own personality...

I don't see the Republicans particularly concerned about healing the country. These are the people who impeached Clinton. These are the people who were willing to shut down the entire government over a budget item. They are not troubled by conflict and they are willing to go all-in to get their...

Those who live by the media die by the media.

How so? With Pence having few negatives and Trump having many, how would the Democrats be helped if the Republicans replace Trump with Pence?

That is exactly how I expect to see this play out. The day Trump outlives his usefulness to the Republicans he deeply offended is the day Pence becomes the answer and impeachment proceedings begin.

It's not about the Clintons any more. They are yesterday's news. Now it's about how long Trump can maintain the support of the Republicans that stand behind him for the moment. Many flip-flopped to get there. They can easily flip-flop back. Trump viciously attacked many of the Republican...

I would not say that. At FedEx Custom Critical it never paid off to be a team player. Dispatchers used that card when they wanted us to take an undesirable load and we quickly grew wise to that game. It paid to become well known among the dispatchers as a professional team and that's where the...

In 1992, when Ross Perot was a candidate for president, I jumped on board. When our state organization was asked by the State of Minnesota to name electors, I was one of ten so named. It later developed that Perot dropped out of the race and later returned. That turned me off to Perot and...

It is highly unlikely that the electors will vote against Trump in sufficient numbers to alter the expected outcome. And even if they did, there is no majority candidate likely to be elected. If enough electors defected, the vote would go to the House of Representatives where the Trump election...

This is not new news. It is a more complete report of FedEx's Fred Smith's comments on trade. Smith and Trump seem to have opposite views on trade and Smith is not shy about talking about it. FedEx Chief Fred Smith Blasts Trump's Trade Policies

Might it not be a black ball list but a white ball list? By that I mean, might brokers and shippers have their list of favorites who have served them very well in the past, and those are who they call first? If I had loads to book and the freedom to choose one carrier or truck over others, I'd...

As a business person, candidate and president-elect, Donald Trump has shown a penchant to fiercely attack those who attack him. These attacks are often made at the personal level where Trump tweets and makes statements elsewhere to undermine a critic's reputation and credibility. Where he has it...

TWLCL - Truck with Lotsa Chicken Lights

Learning how to sleep in a moving truck was a bit of a challenge for Diane and me when we first started, but no more so than it is for most drivers, I presume. We drove factory-sleeper trucks for three years and slept in factory sleeper beds. Some trucks rode better than others and we slept...

I was glad to see the article also explains what niacin is bad for under certain circumstances. Those include: Liver damage: This is one of the dangers of taking high doses of niacin over time to treat cholesterol. It’s more common with slow-release nicotinic acid, but it can also result from...

I shared this on my Facebook page and our gym page. I don't need to have my phone on while I drive.

The keep question is important, as is the management question. How do you manage the money you keep? As a group, truckers seem to be spendthrifts. If they make money, it does not stay in their bank accounts long. In that regard, truckers are little different than most other Americans who live...

Diane and I did great as a married-couple expedite team, but not simply because of team-miles and run pay reasons. Because we were together, the need to go home was reduced. We stayed out more and made more. Because we enjoyed each other's company, it was not as urgent to deadhead someplace...
