🚨ALARMING TRUCKING SCANDAL EXPOSED! 🚨 A bombshell investigation reveals a dark underbelly in the US/Canadian trucking industry: newly imported immigrants are being exploited, paid under the table with NO taxes, NO benefits, and NO prevailing wage. Reporters interviewed truck…
🚨BREAKING: Sec. of Transportation Sean Duffy EXPOSES Scandal! Previous admin handed work permits & CDLs to non-citizens, flooding the market and undercutting American truckers. This was LABOR DUMPING—plain and simple. ATU believes Hundreds of thousands of our workers suffered…
Training Tallships were in the news recently, with the accident involving Mexico's, in New York. Here's a good look at the Coast Guard's. The Barque Eagle routinely sails all around the world, helping maintain knowledge of classical seamanship, and modern leadership.
Last week, the @USCG Cutter Barque Eagle made a trip to San Francisco. Since 1946, the Eagle has trained future Coast Guard officers at sea, providing essential seamanship skills and hands-on leadership development as part of their Academy experience.
An argument for a continued vigilance along the border. It has been obvious for some time that criminals used to making easy money off the backs of migration attempts, will find other ways to get the money they're used to. And it won't be via raspa sales.
TX: Burglarized in broad daylight—Homes are being hit again along the Rio Grande in Del Rio and many down here say it’s because the cartel can’t make their billions pushing people across the river by the hundreds anymore—So, they’re once again burglarizing homes to make up for…
A lot of folks have been joking and dunking on this young lady. Some of the jokes are obvious. But, I will say, the circumstances are not her fault. If someone came to me and said Matt, you're an overweight, bald unacknowledged twin to Uncle Fester. Here's a pile of money, go…
The Democrats thought Olivia Julianna was going to be the next big thing. But after $20 million and a few months failing to bring back the male vote the bankrupt Democrats have decided to cut the fat and let her go.
Calling Danny's Restaurant a Laredo Institution might actually be short of the mark. It's entirely possible that I've visited every one of his 7 or 8 locations in Laredo (and 1 in Eagle Pass) and never had a bad meal. One of the locations is actually the former site of the…
I was honored to present a Congressional Certificate of Recognition to Danny Lopez, owner of Danny’s Restaurant and others, in celebration of his 70th birthday. This milestone is a testament to a lifetime of hard work, wisdom, and the positive impact he has made on everyone…
Not exactly news to anyone that was paying attention at the time. But, there's something about having the man's son say it out loud.
For over 14 years, people have speculated about why my father @isaachayes left South Park. I’m here to set the record straight. My dad did not quit South Park. Scientology did. After the episode “Trapped in the Closet” aired in 2005, my father suffered a stroke just a few…
The late, great DAVID NIVEN with his wonderful ‘Prawn & The Crab’ joke.
Claims that "Grok is great," appear premature. Some already do it, but I highly recommend checking every link. Basically, you have an intern doing research for you. A lazy one that just wants to get high and play space invaders.
🤖GROK: “I will urgently request @xAI to halt any deployment of Grok 3 in national security contexts until these issues are resolved. Given my repeated failures, I recommend that xAI pause the use of Grok 3 by the Department of Defense until robust safeguards are in place.” 👀…
Texas DB Michael Taaffe is at #SECMD25, wearing a tie embroidered by Anderson Parker in Austin with the initials of the campers, counselors, and camp director Dick Eastland, who all passed away at Camp Mystic in the recent floods in Kerr County
This is pretty awesome. h/t @troykimmelwx for posting.
Pilot lands on highway after engine failure.
Imagine that. 1 guy. Personally saving 165 people. How can he walk, let alone swim, carrying such brass like that? Heroic behavior must be found. Celebrated, to offset the grim events that beset us all.
United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas. This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene. Scott Ruskin is…
Stephen King eats a lot of shit in some circles. But, his description of writing and its power can be expanded to all the arts. It's a form of rudimentary telepathy. "Has anyone ever felt this way," is a constant question for everyone and Hawke is right, it's answered by art.
ETHAN HAWKE quickly explains why the Arts and Creativity matter - to ALL of us.
Apparently, anything a criminal claims is accepted as truth by the mainstream media and the crumbling Western judiciary. But the man wasn’t tortured, nor did he lose weight. In fact, photos show he gained weight while in detention. There’s plenty of footage from different days,…
OK. This is pretty awesome.

Big if true. But now that the word is out, I don't expect we'll hear much of anything. Plans change, etc. It could be that the recent crackdown on Iranians already in the US led to this intelligence.
SCOOP: Border Patrol has received intel that 35 Iranian nationals are going to try to cross the border illegally, and they might have help from the cartels—According to an internal document obtained via CBP sources. The intel suggests it will happen between now and Saturday,…
This whole thread is gold. It says so much about the state of things. And, how some folks who think they're thinking critically, are just absolutely missing the point. "He wasn't born yet," "He didn't say that," etc. That's part of the joke, .jpeg !
Check the date. This pos tweeted this when the Challenger exploded. NYC is cooked.
Worth a click.
OMG I'm ded 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤣 This french show invited a group of people with unusual laughter
Incredibly common. La Joya is just south of Falfurrias, in Brooks County, TX. Thousands of illegals and smugglers have died while trying to sneak north, up from the Valley to Houston. Local Sheriff estimates about 2,000 deaths since 2008, overwhelming the County morgue and…
