Truckers Replaced By Driverless Delivery
As Automation Revolution Begins
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 6/8/2026 10:26:50 PM
Dozens of driverless trucks are hitting the road as industries rush toward automation. PepsiCo is partnering with autonomous vehicle startup Gatik to rollout a fleet of 35 driverless trucks, Wall Street Journal reported Monday. It’s reportedly the first time a U.S. company disclosed using autonomous trucks on public highways. The 26,000-pound vehicle featured by WSJ is one of many driverless trucks designed by Gatik with embedded cameras, radar, and lidar technology. The startup secured $600 million in revenue through multiyear contacts with multiple companies, according to WSJ. “These operations that we’re running today are real,”

As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative.
The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.”
In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas.
A recent panel offered an unprecedented window into what the project looks like. Organizers from Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Tucson, Austin, and Portland compared notes.

Wyoming residents are in an uproar over plans to build a “man camp” to house thousands of out-of-state workers flocking to the region to build massive, power-hungry data centers — the latest instance of Americans revolting against such projects.
Local officials are weighing a pitch from project developer Iron Guard Housing for a “temporary workforce housing complex” for as many as 5,600 laborers and townspeople in the state capital, Cheyenne, according to the Wall Street Journal.
State data show the new complex would be a small city in itself, larger than 84 of Wyoming’s incorporated cities and towns — and those who remember previous
Amid widespread anxiety that AI could wipe out jobs, Meta has announced America’s Workforce Academy — a $115 million training program for electricians, welders, plumbers and fiber technicians that guarantees each trainee a job upon graduation.
“People want to be part of this economic transformation but they don’t have a pathway,” Dina Powell McCormick, President and Vice Chairman at Meta, told The Post. “The future is for technicians. The future is for electricians. The future is for welders. We really believe the future is for everyone.”
AWA is not only free, it covers training costs, transportation and certification fees in addition to paying attendees so they can focus on learning
Liberal boomers have too much free time, and they happen to be one of the most deranged groups in America. They’re the ones who spend time at these worthless ‘No Kings’ rallies while the rest of us have to work. With our 250th birthday nearing, President Trump is hosting a series of events, including a UFC fight on the White House grounds. Some loser in Northern Virginia is trying to stop it, filing a lawsuit over aesthetic grounds (via NYT):
What’s top of mind for our dear lawmakers in Washington, D.C.? An issue that concerns about 0.00343% of the American population: private jets.
As the proles worry and fret and budget for, among other things, high gas and grocery prices, Congress is quibbling over private jet taxes. A hotly debated provision — hidden, of course, in an “air-safety” bill — would reportedly make it easier for the ultra-wealthy to dodge paying taxes on their private jets. The legislation would block tax officials from accessing crucial flight data. This data would allow state and local tax collectors to better pinpoint jet owners avoiding taxes by registering their planes in states like
Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, are adding a new baby boy to their family this summer, but it sounds like they're also adding some other new family members, only these will have feathers. According to the Daily Wire, the Vance family is joining millions of people across the United States who are raising their own backyard flocks of chickens. More specifically, as of 2025, 11 million households in the US have their own chickens, and now, it sounds like we can add the VP's residence at the Naval Observatory to the list.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has infuriated organizers of one of the city’s most beloved Independence Day traditions by suggesting they move it off July 4 to save money.
The remark from the mayor’s office comes as organizers of the Sunland-Tujunga Fourth of July Parade battle a growing list of city fees that threaten the future of the annual celebration after more than 50 years.
The California Post first reported in late May that the parade faced cancellation after the city declined to cover $20,000 in traffic-control and street-closure costs for the first time in its more than 50-year history.
Vice President JD Vance referred Minnesota state officials, including Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, to the Justice Department for investigation and potential prosecution following the release of a blistering House Oversight Committee report examining benefit fraud in the state.
On Sunday, the Oversight panel had sent a letter to Vance, who helms the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, urging him to further probe Minnesota.
“I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation,” Vance posted on X Monday evening. “Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and [intimidated]
Data Centers Will Turn Red States Blue

It won’t happen overnight, and it won’t happen in Washington. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) won’t have anything to do with it. And neither will the DNC, at least directly. But it will happen. America’s most rural states have the smallest and easiest-to-change voter bases. In the end, it’s just a numbers game. All these states need is more leftists to move in, and the states will flip from red to blue. Up until now, though, the problem has been giving leftists a reason to want to live in a state like Wyoming, the Dakotas, or Idaho.
Enter data centers. The Wall Street Journal has reported on one such example where Wyoming

US Attorney for California Bill Essayli has attempted to undertake an investigation of California's allegedly fraudulent voting process, saying that "protecting the integrity of California's elections is a top priority for my office." However, he said that California is now blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls. This is a state that "allows first-time voters to register" to vote using gym membership cards, employer ID cards, credit or debit cards, prescription drug labels, and insurance cards in a state that allows illegal immigrants to get state-funded insurance. None of these identification methods shows a social security number or proof of US citizenship.
Former Border Patrol Commander at Large under Trump, Gregory Bovino, confirmed on Monday that he is exploring a presidential bid in 2028, running on a platform of deporting over 100 million illegal aliens from the interior of the country.
Bovino resigned as Border Patrol Chief in March after he was pulled out of Minneapolis, following the fatal officer-involved shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The Trump Administration further withdrew hundreds of agents from Minneapolis and dampened immigration operations amid public outcry and violent riots from a small minority of the country.
He has been a vocal critic of the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement tactics,

It’s not often life showcases a problem in real time. It is now in the form of California and the Senate.
It’s become clear that California voting is designed to give Democrats the ability to cheat. Aside from Ranked Choice Voting scam and a universal mail-out of ballots, the state allows 30 days for votes to be counted, a fraud facilitator if there ever were one.
We’re seeing it play itself out very much in real time. Last week in Los Angeles in the battle for Mayor, at one point after an update of 24,000 votes, Spencer Pratt, a guy with 30% support, did not gain a single vote.
During an appearance on the Unity Over Division podcast, U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D) suggested it was “common sense” to mandate how guns are stored in homes and to ban private sales.
Talarico said, “I am a believer in the Second Amendment. I don’t pick and choose between the Bill of Rights, I believe in the Second Amendment just as much as I believe in the first.”
He went on to state his conviction that you need to get a permit to exercise the First Amendment right to assemble, then outlined gun controls that he described as “common sense.”
Talarico said, “We’ve got to make sure

Iran had shot down a U.S. military helicopter while it was patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz, President Dondald Trump said on Tuesday, adding that the U.S. would “respond to this attack.” “The Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” he said in a Truth Social post, adding that he had been briefed by the military on the situation.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured,” he said. “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
Earlier Central Command said two crew members were rescued by an unmanned boat — a first for American forces —

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is reportedly being prepared to run for president in 2028 by former President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, who also worked with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra on their respective campaigns.
Sources familiar with the matter told Politico’s Playbook this week that Khanna has caught the attention of Ron Klain, an attorney who was an appointee of former President Barack Obama as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator.
Klain, who was named Biden’s chief of staff after working as a senior adviser on his 2020 campaign, is now a chief legal officer at Airbnb
Lawyers representing accused murderer Karmelo Anthony rested their case Monday, after their 19-year-old client declined to take the stand in his own defense. (snip) In one specific case, a witness called by the defense contradicted Anthony’s self-defense claim by saying, “I think Karmelo was in the wrong.”
Prosecutors then asked, “Did Karmelo Anthony provoke the confrontation?”
The defense witness responded, “Yes.” That’s just one example of a defense case that appears to have gone off the rails.
Karmelo Anthony sobbed Tuesday as he was swiftly convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow high-school jock Austin Metcalf at a track meet — and his furious supporters raged, “This whole thing’s been racist!”
The jury in Collin County deliberated about three hours before finding Anthony, 19, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old and must now decide whether to put him away for life — prompting the killer’s weeping mom to later take the witness stand and beg for mercy for her son, according to a report by NBC DFW.

A Sudanese migrant has been arrested after a barbaric video shows someone seemingly trying to behead another man in the middle of a UK street in scenes likened to “something out of a horror movie.”

The madman accused of slaughtering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina screamed at the judge on Tuesday as he was ruled not fit to stand trial for a second time.
Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, ranted about having “material in his body” and experiencing a “body emergency” during the brief hearing at the federal courthouse in Charlotte, Queen City News reported.
He also shouted about wanting to press charges against the FBI and asked the judge whether he had reviewed his evaluation and a letter from his mother, the outlet reported.
President Trump on Monday called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to “immediately fire” Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough to clear the way for Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot.
“Senate Majority Leader John Thune should immediately fire the parliamentarian, who treats Republicans and everything they stand for horribly!” Trump posted on Truth Social, arguing that she’s an obstacle to enacting the SAVE America Act.
FIFA has been left with egg on its face, with almost 180,000 tickets still available just days before the World Cup kicks off. The World Cup begins on Thursday amid a backdrop of sociopolitical issues. While there have been security concerns with several incidents, including a shooting near England’s training camp, top referee Omar Artan was denied a visa despite having valid documentation. Ticket pricing has also been a major talking point, with exceptionally high prices leaving fans on the outside looking in unless they pay an extortionate amount. Seats for the final were reportedly listed at close to $33,000

Construction signs and no-parking notices are at the ready around George Floyd Square. The $15 million reconstruction of the square starts Monday, shortly after the sixth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. The project will reopen streets, while keeping the memorial area closed to traffic. But some neighbors are feeling sticker shock. “ This tax assessment of $636,000 is going to harm our neighborhood and harm the local businesses,” resident Julia Johnson told a Minneapolis City Council committee this week. “It’s probably going to make my rent go up. It’s going to cause people to be displaced; to be disconnected from
