Florida police have discovered how migrants who cannot speak English have been getting licenses to drive 18-wheelers on the nation’s highways. With news breaking all across the country of major highway accidents that have killed Americans perpetrated by non-English speaking migrants behind the wheels of massive semi trucks, many have wondered how they could be getting their licenses. Investigators in Florida have discovered that one way is by using hidden cameras and ear pieces when they enter a drive’s license facility to take their commercial truck driving license (CDL) test, WTLV-TV reported.

FTA: ...Florida officials announced that under a new immigration enforcement program, truck weigh stations in the state will be used as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) checkpoints.' I am wondering: what will be done when semis---driven by illegals driving them illegally---simply bypass the weigh stations? How about: impound the vehicle, auction it to fund more interdictions. The truck's owners are welcome to get it back...provided they are the high bidder. This would go a LONG way to keeping these reckless criminals off our highways and streets.

How about all the other illegal aliens who no doubt have been utilizing the same or other fraudulent means to pass all sorts of other required regulatory examinations, like say nursing and the like? The leftist Democrats are now hinting that illegal aliens who do not have known criminal records should no longer be deemed subject to arrest and deportation under the US Immigration laws. But common sense will tell you that if that were to happen unlimited numbers of mostly Third World origin aliens, maybe up to the hundreds of millions, maybe more, without limits, who have no known foreign criminal record, and who are poor and uneducated would be encouraged, and obviously invited, to unlawfully gain entry to the USA knowing that they would be allowed to stay in the USA as long as they did not accumulate a serious criminal record. Clearly if that happened the USA would no longer be able to effectively administer or enforce the borders or any sort of meaningful immigration laws. No doubt the Democrats would then push for all such aliens to be put on a comprehensive “path to citizenship” with as many of those “New Americans” as possible being transitioned into future Democrat supporters and voters on into the future. In accordance with Democrat “identity politics” the Democrats would also move to organize their “New Americans” into becoming members of “victimized” minority groups with massive numbers of such minority groups of both domestic and foreign origin coalescing together politically to permanently change the future ethnic, political, and voter population demographics past the point to where the USA would become a minority-majority populated country in permanent support of the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat political agenda aiming at transforming the USA into a future socialist utopia of some sort.

Well what a pleasant thing to think about while you are cruising along on the Interstate. I agree with No. 2. $10,000 or more fine for every day an illegal is found driving one of their trucks. No excuses. No "but I didn't know that they were illegal". It's up to them to vet their employees and you can bet that the trucking companies will stop trying to pad their bottom line by hiring these dangerous drivers if they cut corners like this.

Re #5, nope - not today. A tiny, TINY bluetooth or wifi linked camera (did I mention it was TINY?) costs maybe $15 or so. The assistant can be nearby with a phone linked to the camera. put the camera in a ball cap. Easy peasy.

I used to work with an Asian woman who could barely speak English, and when she did, no one could understand her. Somehow, she managed to pass the CPA exam. My division director (who inherited her from his predecessor) regularly used to ask me, "how did she pass the exam? She doesn't understand English!!!" After a while, we assumed she'd paid someone to take it for her. Luckily, we caught her destroying official records, and she quickly resigned before she could be fired. No one missed her.

This week, the dominoes began to fall at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Back in September 2023, the floundering Biden administration tapped Daskalakis—a self-proclaimed “trusted voice for the LGBTQ community”—to lead the White House’s national monkeypox response as Deputy Coordinator. Fast-forward to Wednesday, and Daskalakis bolted from his role as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC. His exit came mere hours after CDC Director Susan Monarez was unceremoniously ousted, and on the very day RFK Jr. announced sweeping reforms to dismantle the vaccine mandates that crippled our economy and freedoms.
Google’s $1.375B Slap: Why Conservatives

Americans rightfully have significant expectations when it comes to privacy. We have constitutional protections against government overreach but we're more exposed to Big Tech companies like Google. Texas’ $1.375 billion settlement against Google for harvesting location, biometric, and search data without consent has achieved a victory for Texans and further exposed Google’s surveillance empire, but Americans at large are still at risk. Conservatives must demand better data privacy reforms from state and federal governments to stop Google as it continues to undermine data privacy through ad tech tracking, AI data grabs, and lobbying efforts against privacy laws.

The Islamic Republic is facing collapse, indicates the report, issued by UK-based Henry Jackson Society this week, as the UN accuses Tehran of executing nearly 900 people already this year “as a tool of intimidation.” If the Islamic Republic falls, “there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war,” according to the findings. “This is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs for the Iranian people, and every step must therefore be made to ensure that any transition is quick and painless,” it added.

You won’t hear it from the corporate media, but former Vice President Kamala Harris has already had a longer Secret Service detail than other former vice presidents. President Donald Trump ended that on Friday before she could leech more American taxpayer dollars on a multi-city book tour to talk about her failed presidential campaign. Former vice presidents are entitled to six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office. For Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, that ended July 21 just like hers was supposed to. But former President Joe Biden (or an autopen) quietly signed an order extending Harris’ detail to 18 months, for reasons unknown.

Behind this narrative lies a calculated strategy: the weaponization of humanitarian suffering, orchestrated by Hamas — the entity that controls Gaza and its distribution of aid — and amplified by willing accomplices in the United Nations system and global media. The goal is not to report the truth but to smear Israel, rally international condemnation, and shield Hamas from accountability. In May 2024, Israeli government data directly contradicted the IPC's claims. In June and July 2024, media reports continued to cite a "high risk of famine," but none could point to actual data proving that famine had occurred. The famine never arrived, but the headlines kept coming.

And much like the condition of the national media industry, there is no desire exhibited by them to change what is not working. And this week it became even worse.

As these cases reach the Supreme Court, they are being overturned, but not without a cost to the president’s agenda or to the respect to which we’d normally accord the judiciary. The notion of a judicial coup is not far off, and people like Elon Musk suggest it’s time for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against the worst offenders.
