I don't have any political hatred. I do however have a deep aversion, distrust, and yes perhaps even hatred for an ideology that continues to divide us through racism, bigotry, and hate.

I'm not interested in unity or peace until I first see an end to attacks on my liberties. We didn't stoke the fire of hate. That began largely with Obama, and has steadily increased every election cycle since. The seeds of hate were sewn in their ground.

Moving forward doesn't mean sitting down, shutting up, and just letting things happen for the sake of unity. I'll continue to speak up for the sake of my future generations.

I mean look at this conversation. We can't even engage in civil discourse without someone wanting to shut it down. Why, to avoid hard topics or hurt feelings? No, these are the exact discussions that must be had if we are to ever enjoy peace again.

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

I was always political. I was 5 yrs old when i watched jimmy carter & reagan debate. I was 15 when I went to work for the NJ Democrat Gov Florio. I earned a degree in History & Polticial Science. I changed parties when I saw the self segregation and hate promoted by the left.

Words like Dictator, Nazi, Fascist, Meglomaniac are used to invoke emotions and fear rather than reason and logic. Ironically, it is the exact tactic used by Hitler. The left wants larger, more power government which leads to totalitarian power making us all controlled slaves. All the while, Trump's SCOTUS has turned power over to the states by revoking Roe v Wade. This gives the people the right to vote on the topic. Chevron being overturned took power away from the Presidency (executive branch) and turned it back to Congress. So please explain how does one become a dictator after limiting power and giving it to the people?

Oh and the Immunity issue would have allowed Obama to be tried for killing Americans, including a teenager, without a trial on foreign soil. Bush could have been tried for Iraq. Biden could have been tried for a lot. That decision was about more than one person. Listen to the SCOTUS arguments.

I made sure I was home to vote. I am now done with the wokeness. Political correctness is gone. I refuse to recognize men as women, or accept them into women's spaces. Men should not be in womens sports, beating the hell out of them. Men do not have babies or get periods. Men should not be imprisoned with women, especially sex offenders. Female prisoners should not be rejected health care so that men can get "affirming care".

I refuse to support puberty blockers for children. 15 yr olds should not be having double mastectomies. Abortions until birth is just short of demonic. Anyone who disagrees should go watch one. I do not want my tax dollars supporting illegals, nor foreign countries. I want a POTUS that terrifies the hell out of world leaders while extending diplomacy before warfare. I want great school systems which teach civics and unity, not hate and division. I want oil production up to reduce diesel and watch the prices go down on goods.

If left policies are so awesome, why is every major city run by Democrats the last 50 years nearly bankrupt? Why are they crime and drug infested?

If this country is so racist and sexist, why is almost every major city in the US run by someone other than a white male? How are the race baiters like Van Jones & Joy Reid in high profile, good paying positions to cause animosity?

In short... i want our freaking country back from the Left wing Totalitarian, censoring lunatics.

My pronouns are now "Actual American Woman" and I don't care who I offend.

This is my personal opinion and does not reflect that of Trucking Truth nor the company for which I drive.

Besides, this topic has everything to do with the trucking industry! Look how bad freights gotten since Biden took over. Everything relates back to the money, and the effects of high inflation. How many trucking companies have closed up in the last 4 years?? Probably more than we can count.

88,000 trucking companies and 8,000 brokers closed in 2023 alone!

I love to hear conservatives speaking up and becoming emboldened again! Kersey and Turtle - that was amazing! Thank you for having the courage to stand up publicly and speak your mind honestly and genuinely. We need more people like you!

I've been speaking out loudly for years about what we need to do to protect our society from the establishment, and I'd love to see more people continue to share their opinions. I have to warn you, though - you'll lose friends and make enemies for a while. Most will never apologize or return, even when they realize you were right. But that's what leaders do. They take criticism from the fools but keep speaking the truth relentlessly.

Let's review some of the topics we've covered over the years, so you can see what I mean and be prepared for the firestorm ahead.

I spoke about the virus tyranny in 2020, which I said at the time had nothing to do with health but was a Marxist coup. Today that's obvious, but at the time it wasn't. Now we can see in the voting data that it worked! They really did seize power from numerous Western governments, including our own. People thought I was insane at the time and blasted me for it. But it was important to let people know what was really happening.

I spoke for years of the need for strong unions to return, which were desperately needed to fight the economic manipulation from the Fed, big corporations, and Wall Street. Now we're suffering from massive inflation and a weak economy because of their manipulation, and almost every union across the board has responded with huge victories over the past two or three years, the largest increases in their history in some cases. People also blasted me for that, but I wanted people to understand what was happening.

I've unmasked the hype behind driverless trucks on the highways which was scaring potential drivers away from trucking. I wrote an article in 2017 called, Self Driving Trucks Are Not Coming Anytime Soon.

Then, in January of 2020, I went to a business seminar where the speaker believed the hype about driverless trucks and said, "There will be no truck drivers in five years!" He loudly and proudly proclaimed that to a massive audience. I just laughed to myself and thought, "Wow, this guy really fell for the technology hype."

Here we are on the eve of his five-year declaration, almost eight years after I wrote my article, and there are more truck drivers today than there were back then. People thought I was clueless at the time. Now we can see it really was just hype.

I've been unmasking the fake nutritional science that's been poisoning people for decades like avoiding salt and red meat, eating vegetables, getting healthy natural sugars, and eating three or more meals per day. Myself and thousands more have experienced the astounding health benefits of eating properly, and I wanted people to know the truth about nutrition. I've been blasted for that as well.

The point is this - even if you're right, it's no fun being the guy willing to challenge deeply held beliefs or systems that people might not be ready or willing to abandon. You will face resistance or hostility due to cognitive dissonance, where people reject the new information to avoid discomfort, sometimes attacking the messenger to defend their current beliefs. They'll attack both your integrity and your opinions. When you defend yourself, everyone else will jump in and attack you for being so cruel as to defend yourself!

It's a thankless job.

We have people in the forum today who have stormed off in the past, furious with me for my take on these topics. When I turned out to be right, they quietly returned hoping they could blend back in and we could just forget that whole stink they made about it at the time.

No one has ever apologized to me for any of it, though. I've lost friends, family members, and long-time forum members over every one of those topics and it never mattered that I was right and I was revealing a truth that most people could not see.

I believe Gen X'rs are the group that needs to take charge now and fix this mess we're in. We're at the age when control of the government, major corporations, and technologies will fall into our hands and we were always the anti-establishment generation. We must do what we can to right the ship, and speaking out about it is something we all can do. It just takes a lot of courage and self-confidence, because speaking hard truths and pulling no punches will make you a lot of enemies, even amongst those you've helped the most.

As always, the most important things are the hardest things, and they require the strongest people and the best leaders to make them happen. I can see we have some of those types here in this forum, and that is super encouraging!

Keep speaking up! Shout it if you have to!

I've always been the type to, speak my mind, say what I think of something as I think it, bluntly, no filters not worrying about if I pizz em off or offend. Both, to strangers, or my family/friends....I've shocked a few in my day to see them with their mouths hanging wide open in shock hahaha

I bought the t-shirt saying "He is NOT my President" of JB. in July of 2021, for my best buds birthday, we went to Laughlin, Nev. to stay 3 days and gamble etc. On the 3rd day that t-shirt was all I had left clean to wear. So we meet up to go down to eat etc, his wife tells me "damn you might get some h3ll from people, wearing that!".....I said HA, I dare someone to gimme shyt bout it ! lol Well, was just the opposite, every one, even an old lady or 2 gave me thumbs up, and agreed. and a few fist bumps. Not like I was worried of the opposite effect.... I not in this world to please or be liked by strangers in the night.

I'd also had bought a black face mask when we had to wear em, say "F Biden".... I was at a delivery, and was told I needed a mask to be in line at the receiving window, ooops forgot in my truck, went to get it. Now the line of drivers, 6 or 8, was 2 black guys too, I chose the F Biden mask, as it was fastest to grab. I thought, "Just let someone, anyone, say shyt about it!! " Well, got a dirty look or 2, but no one said a damn thing hahaha.

Funny story, living in Arizona, in the '90's I had a gf and our 3 kids go to store buy food. As we walk thru veggie section, 3 older mexican guys are speaking in spanish, as my gf walks past em (ahead of me by 15+ feet) about her little butt in her tights. And I do speak & understand spanish.

I had a ponytail past my butt back then, as I came to them, I told em in spanish "ya like that huh, why don'tcha look at your own wives fat azzes over there!" With a shocked look on thier faces, looking at me mouths hanging open, they didn't expect a surfer type, longhair dude, to speak their lingo!! A Deer in Headlights moment! (My ex wife was hispanic and she spoke NO spanish)

I have a few friends and at least one relative that are disheartened by the election outcome. I hope they come to their senses and quit believing the talk of hate, lies, etc. It's somewhat disappointing that knowing my vote for U.S. offices didn't count for much since California is overwhelmingly liberal Democrats but we can't help if we don't try. Now I read that Newsome has called for a special session of congress to protect the state's liberal policies from Trump. They want to drive out their citizens that pay taxes for their crazy policies?

Yesterday I had a doctor appointment and saw a calendar at the checkout window that I had not noticed before. I just noticed at first a photo of Ronald Reagan and his horse and then saw it was a calendar from the Young Americans Foundation. I was pleased to know that my doctor was brave enough to have something from a conservative foundation for all the patients to see. For November, there was a Reagan quote that I hope is fitting today:

Ronald Reagan on CITIZENSHIP LEADERSHIP

"Good citizenship and defending democracy means living up to the ideals and values that make this country great."

"In just seven days I will lay down the mantle of this great office the American people have bestowed upon me...I won't leave the battle ...As long as there is breath in me, I will fight for the principles in which I believe."
