On Wednesday, Penske Truck Rental tried to Bud Light itself by releasing a virtue-signaling statement criticizing the Department of Homeland Security for using one of its vehicles during an immigration enforcement operation. “Penske Truck Rental is aware of recent reports and videos regarding a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation in Los Angeles,” the statement said. “Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today’s operation and did not authorize this. Penske will reach out to DHS and reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles

Telling ICE to respect their safety policy is not a problem. Telling the world they're going to tell ICE to respect their safety policy is definitely virtue signaling wokie woke garbage. No one needed to hear that outside ICE headquarters.

Do they know if any of their trucks were used to bring illegals INTO this country? I bet no one reported on that!

They probably used a regular cargo truck and put a Penske "skin" on it to confuse the illegals...

Correct me if my memory is off, but I believe Penske electronically disabled one of their trucks that was en route to Canadian convoy protest.

Can you imagine being a Penske driver and having 100,000 fans yelling epithets at you when you think you're about to celebrate a victory? Anybody who doesn't think this can happen should remember Talladega 2021, where "Let's Go Brandon" was coined...

The prohibition of human transport in the cargo area of its trucks is likely due to insurance not covering any potential related liabilities. If the company allowed it, it would subject the company to liabilities of millions of dollars, similar to a passenger plane. The company should have delivered their message without any mention of ICE. Now the company has to figure out how to get out of another mess.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) tells 7News Reporter Nick Minock that they are launching an investigation into claims that school staff arranged abortions for students and didn’t tell their parents. This story has blown up on social media -- a report that says school officials at Fairfax County’s Centerville High School arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls without so much as a phone call to their parents back in 2021.

Islamic terrorism is sweeping the globe, yet mainstream media outlets seem reluctant to vet her foreign policy credentials.

The Trump administration advanced its goal to eliminate taxpayer-funded abortion this week when it proposed ditching a Biden administration-era rule that forced taxpayers to subsidize veterans’ abortions. One of President Donald Trump’s first actions in his second term was prohibiting Americans’ hard-earned dollars from going to organizations that lobby for, perform, or encourage abortions in other countries. The reinstatement of President Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City Policy brought the U.S. back up to speed with Americans’ majority opposition to taxpayer-funded abortions (snip)Now, the Department of Veteran Affairs proposed a rule to rescind a 2022 policy that lumped abortions and “abortion counseling” into veterans’ taxpayer-funded medical benefits package.

Last weekend, many major media outlets published images falsely purporting to be of starving Palestinian children. In reality, many suffered from other maladies.

"The Court finds that the plaintiffs have shown they are entitled to a classwide preliminary injunction.
