Here’s a solid reference point for just one of the multitude of aspects related to the mandatory COVID vaccine and overall COVID mitigation rules that will come together to present an unavoidable outcome within the supply chain.
As CEO Eric Lawrence notes, even without the vaccine mandate, the testing mandate itself becomes an issue. How and where exactly are truckers supposed to get these weekly, and depending on state, perhaps daily, Covid-19 tests. How are they expected to modify their cross country routes, to avoid running afoul of the law, without having any idea where this testing is supposed to take place?
Follow the implementation of all these mandate tentacles across multiple industries & sectors, and what you end up with is a merging of unworkable nonsense into a logistical and supply chain mess. For the U.S. economy, a SNAFU of that significance only ends with one result.
Of all the people to mandate vaxxes on, truckers has to take the cake.
Sitting alone in a truck hours upon hours……Really?!???
Don’t count on Cone head Barry or the weeping kavanaugh to get us out of this mess being created. Their club doesn’t include truckers or you.
“Their club doesn’t include truckers or you.”
Fact check: true.
Somewhere George Carlin approves your comment.
I used to drive a big rig. Come on, man!
You can’t pull your rig into a Walgreen’s parking lot? Come on, man!
But, but, but….they travel sooo many miles, and, and come into contact with sooo many truck stop employees……… why, they’re the original Super Spreader!!! /s
My Grandson is an over the road truck driver and barely leaves his truck. They don’t even get out of their trucks while loading and unloading. He works for a very large trucking company and the majority of their employees said they will quit if they make it mandatory. Think your grocery shelves are bare now?
And i support that action 100%
The whole concept of ‘super spreader’ seems ridiculous to me. If it were true, then the whole country would have already succumbed. 111,000 at the Michigan / Ohio St Football game. Nobody checking vax status. Very few masks. Repeat that with 70, 80, 90,000 at football stadiums (college and pro) all across the country, all fall, every weekend.
If it was as bad as they say it is and everyone needs to be jabbed or their will be a zombie apocalypse, they wouldn’t have to coerce people so bad to get jabbed.
There would be people lined-up for miles and miles.
I still see some full on Liberal Project Monarch idiots driving alone in a car with a mask on.
Come to CT. Some will turn to a lot.
The fools here, which I now know are a lot, mask up for everything. Go get tested at the slightest sniffle.
Mass Psychosis Event.
Same here – BC, Canada
In nearby RI, advertisements paid with our money on TV including conservative news shows, feature a man of color explaining to the viewers how he keeps us all safe by testing his children for the least little “symptom”. RI opened a testing site in Central Falls because it is predominately minority and low income.
(healthcare disparity) These examples are 2 reasons why we have a testing shortage in our country. I wonder if our governor knows about these mandates from the fed? He could have been more proactive and opened the test site at the major (ONLY) truck stop in RI. “If he only had a brain.”
How can there be a record number of cases if there is a testing shortage?
Great question. Guessing they just “extrapolate” from the bogus testing using the same modeling that warned of 2.2 million dead in the US in first year.
The Almighty Algorithm
You spelled Sotomayor wrong.
Even Oklahoma is bad right now (for Oklahoma). 50/50 masked, and mile long lines at testing centers (which I suspect is really about a free 2 week vacation)
You must’ve seen my brother.
You can always know if a liberal is driving in front of you, just look at the car, it has “virtual signals “.
There is a lot of that where I live. I guess their cars tested positive for the Rona.
Not to mention that without truckers, we get no food, no gas, no lumber, no toys, no clothing, no computers, etc.
Amazon hardest hit……
Amazon is making its own containers and bypassing supply chain chaos with chartered ships and long-haul planes https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/amazon-is-making-its-own-containers-and-bypassing-supply-chain-chaos-with-chartered-ships-and-long-haul-planes/ar-AARsDhm
And no medicines
Plus they already cannot eat in a roadside restaurant anymore either – in Canada at least.
Because science shows covid spreads best in close proximity to a ham sandwich apparently. /s
Interested Patriot: Stay away from the ham sandwiches, ‘fer sure. They’ll infect you in a heartbeat.
The truckers I know are fiercely independent deplorables.
They will just park their rigs before they will take the jab.
Fact check: true, or at least enough of them.
They are also it seems the last of an American breed…can do, will do gritty Americans who get their jobs done without whining, excuse making, or attention seeking. To call them our backbone sounds cliche. But it is not, as we are about to find out.
On the Open Thread here we have our own resident trucker who at length details his runs. Where he goes, where he stops, the issues he faces (most unexpected), all in great detail. He is an extremely knowledgeable man about all things other than his job. He usually posts about his week on a Saturday so I will check to see if he is present today. Not one to hold back, he’ll no doubt have some pretty trenchant views about this shambolic, intentional threat.
I wouldn’t dare…you are correct. But since those in charge of these unworkable malevolent pipe dreams (for them) have no idea where food comes from, and the rest, I suspect they’d have a go at your challenge. Idiots all.
Unfortunately, the Totalitarians know how important these two are and that is why oil and trucking are prime targets in their quest to bring down America.
Much like the people who built this country.

Hey according to the Great Reset folks, you’ll own nothing and like it, you’ll rent whatever you need and it will be delivered to you BY DRONE.
They don’t need no stinking truckers!
I live in a town of about 50.000. No rail service. Every bit of food to feed 50,000 people every day– home and eating out, comes by 18 wheeler. If truckers shut down, it will be a major calamity. Imagine the panic if truckers shut down and no food comes to town for a week– then two weeks. I fear people-even good people, will resort to desperate measures to put food on the table to feed their families. Now that I think about it, I wish the truckers would have a revolt against the mandate and let the nation see what bad leadership looks like.
Just keep the trucks rolling to the red areas. Watch the maskers start running to our areas. If they are not known to anyone locally, they are not admitted.
Watch how the Diversity is our strength cultural marxist slogan becomes your biggest liability & danger if food shortage/disaster comes. The snowflake brainwashed liberals will be facing reality asap, similar to what the productive White Farmers face in western installed democracy of SA & the former Rhodesia. These are 2 liberal racist cesspools. Went from first world to Fourth world in the blink of a communist eye
“A College Football Rivalry Helped Walmart Show Off Its Drone Delivery Service
The first-ever campaign allowed customers to see drones in action”
-snip-
“The 2021 matchup was notable not only because the Razorbacks emerged victorious for the first time since 2015, but because Walmart—whose Bentonville, Ark. headquarters is 30 miles from the University of Arkansas and just 10 miles from the Missouri border—opted to use the Nov. 26 game for its first-ever drone delivery marketing push.
During the game, Walmart and drone-delivery company DroneUp “made surprise drone delivery drops of Razorback merch in response to certain events, such as touchdowns, turnovers and field goals” to customers who opted in, a spokesperson told Adweek. That merchandise included jerseys, socks and apple turnovers. (Get it?) Consumers also received promo codes for future drone deliveries.
The campaign targeted shoppers within a 1-mile delivery radius in nearby Farmington.”
Walmart Uses Football for New Marketing Push With Drones (adweek.com)
I guess we’ll have to buy from Walmart or Amazon or won’t be able to get anything.
Walmart rolled out their first drone delivery trials on November 29, 2021:

There’s no way this is not a purposeful bankrupting of our entire economy. There’s just no other explanation. Enemies foreign and domestic colluding.
The real insurrection.
Now you can see why the Left wants total control. We on the Right are the many, where those on the Left are few. Does voting fraud make sense now???
Of course it is, we are in The Great Reset. They are pushing us towards a Global government with full digital control of our lives.
Well, it ends up like all commie plans. A total failure that the commie planners will blame on the peasants.
The complete failed USA economy is the goal and success for the Communist/Fascist/Totalitarians now in power. Yes, a fail for the People, but a success for the “Bad Guys”. They can now have complete control over the People and build it the way they want it built.
That’s what “build back better” has meant from the get-go.
Correct, BBB is total Left control. The Left can not win another election without total control. The Left are the few and the Right are the many, see why BBB has to be implemented?
Build Bunches of Billionaires
They call it “OUR democracy “.
Wrong on both counts.
Their democracy is not your democratically elected form of republican Constitutional Government.
They have been propagandizing for decades calling us a democracy when technically we are not that form of government.
Now they have pulled the switch-a-roo. Their communistic plans are being called “our democracy.”
They are installing their democracy as they overlay our Constitutional Republic.
More words to say, but perhaps its time I refrain from using the phrase our democracy and say “our constitutional republic.”
Thank you! I keep trying to score this point: our Founding Fathers consciously chose to emulate republican Rome, not democratic Athens. Democracy is simply anarchy by another name.
Yes. Their fungible word games. The appropriation of the word “democracy” is particularly odious. Republic we are and always have been. Whether there is a “Banana” in front of it is another matter, but I do believe we could say there is.
When they use “democracy” now, I think what they really mean is “a tyranny of the minority”. That is in fact the way we are being ruled…not governed.
Demos kratia was a short-lived political experiment in classical Greece that we typically associate with the Athens of Socrates, Plato and the tragedians. It was at its height in the age of Pericles. The defining feature was individual rule– that is, each citizen was expected personally to participate in day to day governance. The demos, which in blunt terms was really an uneducated mob, was easily manipulated by would-be tyrants. Our word “hyperbole” is borrowed from the name of one such, the Athenian Hyperbolus.
Democracy invited the rise of demagogues such as the notorious Alcibiades, and this in turn led to tyranny… with depressing regularity. Wiser heads found an alternative in the form of representative government. Our Founding Fathers drew heavily upon the architecture of the 4th century Achaean League, which was brought into existence to combat the structural failings of demos kratia.
The Cultural Marxist teleprompter Mullah-in Chief Obozo did say America had to be remade. Before you remake something you have to destroy it. Consider this the treasonous/criminal destruction phase
Drone: “This is unworkable and will crash the economy.”
Zero: “Perfect.”
Exactly
Butt Edge Edge: “Leave me alone. I’m lactating.”
Purposefully selected for his position because he worse than useless. The bureaucrats in that department can get on destroying the infrastructure unimpeded.
But of COURSE, said the complicit Rs…let’s confirm him. He’s all we could wish for in a Transportation Secretary.
Intentional and coordinated destruction of our economy.
You have to be kidding. This clown show needs to stop. They expect truckers to stop daily to be tested???
I hadn’t thought what a total scrambled-brain idea this is. Will testing depend on the state mandate of the states they ride through or their state of origin or the state where they take a stop to get fuel or breakfast or the state in which they deliver or all of the above? Will they have to “follow the science” in each of the different states or route through other states? Maybe Pilot and Luv’s will set up testing centers, but then who has any spare testing kits? Utterly insane!!!
Just talked to a buddy in Alaska (a former truck driver) and they are really starting to feel the negative affects curtailed Truck transportation is having on grocery supplies. He shopped Costco this morning and seen empty shelves for some items.
Harvest Of Despair II. Done by the same mass murdering ideology
Fandog your buddy is not lying i am up hear with him and we are really starting to see the affects of being a state isolated from the lower 48 supply chain it will affect us sooner than most .this week the barge that delivers food from Seattle once a week was 2 days late do to wether stores had very little left . and that was just a 2 day delay what happens if the barge does not come ? i have ben prepping and live very much off our fish and game and a large productive garden .thanks to Sundance i have good understanding of what to prepare for be well stay strong R.D.
I went to the original old Red Dog saloon back in the day and have the hat. Quite a number of stories about that ‘ole place
Port of Tacoma shipping giants Matson & TOTE ship approximately 80% of the containerized goods that appear on the shelves in Alaska. Since container movement is so intricately linked with rail & truck transportation, any hiccup in the ground flow will result in massive hits for ocean-going/Inside Passage movements. It’s not a surprise to me to see the first effects being felt in Alaska.
Dementia Joe doesn’t know. And the dims/Left’s great ideas always have unintended (in this case, well intended) consequences. Whatever they come up with, they never look beyond next week. Totally incompetent.
…and what better administration than the Biden administration for having the necessary “incompetency’ for accomplishing their ultimate goal.
As soon as Joe is riddled with all the bullets he’s there to take for the real masterminds, he’ll be tossed aside. The next VP they install to manage President Harris will be the tell on who the mastermind is
Why would anyone go to the extremes of riddling Joe without his Bama, the administration, and all non-elected government “employee’ and deep state traitors?
That’s like hitting the paper boy because you didn’t like the news article. Heck, at least cancer your subscription and remove your support from the producers of the writers they have posting the propaganda that you didn’t like in the first place.
Libby,
Every time I get tempted to be angry at Biden because of Government policy, I have to remind myself that the senile old man really doesn’t know if he’s afoot or horseback. I am sure the Rats would love to have someone on the right take a shot at him. It would save them the trouble of removing him themselves.
The only solace is that Biden is the tip of their spear. He is a very visible reminder to the idiots who voted for him and the idiots who committed voter fraud for him. Only until the idiots feel the pain and understand the source of pain do we have chance of getting out of this.
IMO, Harris after a cackle or two will be outed practically the same day.
Hmmm… So, you think it’s possible the 25th Amendment will be invoked twice in the same day?
But then another brainless puppet will have to be installed. In order to stay behind the curtains, the Powers That Be will have to keep replacing their Presidential Puppets.
As the country is being ruined, at least we’ll have cheap, free entertainment guessing who will be the pResident of the week.
“So, you think it’s possible the 25th Amendment will be invoked twice in the same day?”
That leaves Nancy.
They’ll turn on her like a pack of wild dogs. She’s not one of the Powers That Be.
In what world is she not one of the powers that be? You jest! She is as deep into the swamp muck as she can be.
Maybe if we see the real Oval Office instead of set, we will see real “President” too.
Does anybody believe that a man who will absolutely refuse The Jab. Will allow themselves to be tested daily? I can tell you. Testing requirements will be another Hell No! Take your jab job and shove it!
What do you expect when you have a Transportation Fairy instead of a Transportation Secretary?
Exactly the fail it is and the fail objective of their goal.
AGREE!!!!
Sure, hauling explosives, radioactive hazmat, and volatile gases, its always wise to first make sure the driver has cardio damage.
Cardio damage so that it’s no longer possible to pass the required DOT physical? Then what. Can’t sue the drug maker for damages, they’re exempt. Which government institution will be held liable for the loss of job, career, income, life ?
How about all those that have pushed for and those that have refused to fight against mandates and legislation and their personal accounts and holdings.
Why is it the people that are going to be robbed harder and expected to pay for even more serial bad decision making people who were compliant and attempting to force me and others with penalty of suffering, pain, and death?
Case in point: (or maybe not, not being a trucker) A 14 year old boy received his second shot and within a week died of a heart attack. (GP) A lot of that going around.
Sarah Jessica Blattner, a 14-year-old Israeli American girl with an underlying health condition, died in her sleep on October 12th reportedly from a heart attack after receiving one dose of the Pfizer vaccine five months earlier.

Sickening. Pfizer and Moderna are corporate murderers and they have co-opted unwitting accomplices with parents filling that role. How much longer before other parents finally see the light? I’m afraid there is going to be a lot more wailing and rending of garments before that happens.
Cancer survivor killed by a “vaccine” she never should have been forced to take.
One hard part FTA, she told her mom she was having a pounding heartbeat and mom thought it was anxiety related. That mom will always wonder if she could have saved her if she’d taken that seriously.
It will take a 5-year plan to get us out of this mess.
It has already taken 5-years for the plan and the plan is still on going. People first “Heard it”, then this past year “Seen it” and now is the final “Feel it”. All three phases need implication in order for People to finally correct it. Thank God the People have someone as Donald Trump to lead it.
No, it will just take a return to normalcy and the punishment of all the guilty involved. With proper handling it can be accomplished in less than a month from the facts to hangings.
I agree.
Time to go Ceausescu.
Just like all other times communists unleashed communism.
Things are doing great, then they steal power and start persecuting political opposition, using LEOs and the power of the state to round up non compliant people, establish control of society, economy and wipe out people’s human rights.
Here we are…Communism is here with empty shelves and all the classic signs.
supply chain already broken here. WalMart had NO butter except one 8oz Irish on top shelf also NO regular gallons of milk. vast shelf areas with nothing
guess I better get a goat
Not a bad idea ! I think I’ll raise rabbits for meat!
Rabbits don’t follow goats but sheep do. Give me a goat any day… you can keep your rabbits.
A pair rabbits breading every 5-6 weeks supply meat and pelts. Add in hens for eggs and you have the best cold fertilizer and composters ever created by God for crops and gardening.
Not a fan of goat milk, but my neighbors have cattle and cows. Also have them visiting often enough to graze my lands with my blessings as they do no harm.
Rabbits don’t have enough fat to sustain you. Supplement, yes.
Having farms near you is a blessing
Merrie – The fresh vegetable section in my local grocery store was empty as well. Never seen that before and I have been shopping there for thirty years. Daughter in another town said their store was out of milk as well. Not good.
Just came from one located in the heart of a deep blue area. Only obvious gaps in the shelves was in the candy isle where the Valentine’s Day assortments had been thoroughly picked over.
Walmart has regularly had “outs” of one product or another, but in a week or two they get more in – so far. But, this outage causes a chain reaction. People who can’t find butter at Walmart go to Piggly Wiggly or Food Lion and buy 3 pounds of butter because they are afraid of running out. Those stores which don’t have the resources of Walmart run out more quickly and have a harder time competing for what sources they have. It happened here at different times with cleaning products, peanut butter, frozen pie crust, Rotel tomatoes, cream cheese. The stores finally got in Rotel tomatoes and now every store has too many cans of Rotel tomatoes which nobody now needs, but now people want butter. Keeping the store shelves stocked is becoming more and more of a problem partly due to people’s increasing fears about stores running out of something they want.
A store manager told me if everyone kept their same buying habits everything would be fine. It is the “fear psychosis” which creates sudden supply shortages.
That is about to become a lie! You cannot buy what a truck doesn’t deliver!
Bread with no butter, what to do when there is no bread?
If we had some eggs, we could have ham and eggs, if we had some ham.
Bust out another tub o your put back wheat berries or oat groats and kneed up a loaf or two,,,, then click the lid back on that 5 gallon pail to save the rest for the other 80 loaves you can make with it.
So much for the “just in time” strategy of keeping shelves stocked (so as to lower inventory costs).
Goats are ideal for leading sheep. Make sure and keep the goat, but slaughter the sheep. You will need the goat to keep bringing you lamb chops.
I have gained a decidedly bad taste in my mouth for sheep
I keep saying this. We should not be at all surprised by these policy moves. They are intended to wreck both our society and economy. This is straight Frankfurt School Critical Theory dogma. You first have to destroy a society before you can “build it better”. Do you think good ole’ boy Mitch will stop this from happening? Think again.
As I, and many others have repeatedly asked: If you set out to deliberately destroy a thriving Constitutional Republic, what would you do differently?
Now we understand the meaning of Joe’s chosen slogan “build back better”.
I don’t think people are so much surprised as it is they may be now facing the consequences of previous denial…..ostriches with their heads stuck in the sand.

”Those Who Resist the New World Order Will Have the Help and Protection of God” – Italian Archbishop Vigano

After reading his writings since before the coup, I have come to believe that God speaks through His good servant Vigano. He is in hiding now, with cause. May God Himself protect him from the dual evils of the Deep State and the Deep Church.
I believe you are correct. Malachi Martin warned about this in the 1990s
Good afternoon, Colkitto. It’s just a deep feeling that makes me believe it. His face is one that never alters, in that unperturbed calm way. As if God knows him and he knows God in the most intimate sense.

And when the whole country shuts down, how many people get to die for this inept boob’s experiment?
This is no accident. Yeah many are going to die. Sounds grim but I can’t think of any other possible scenario. Rank and file stupidity doesn’t cut it.
That appears to be a feature not a bug. It can only be intentional.
The more the better, says this reprehensible collection of cells.
If there’s a potential bright spot in the commies attempting to explode the US economy by shutting off supply chains, it’s that the bluest of the commie blue states will get hit the hardest the fastest with their bull shit clot shot mandates for truckers. Perfect, choke off the libby commie run states 1st
It’s almost fun to watch this insane administration play the absolute worst game of Civilization imaginable.
They know they can’t win and they are so nervous.
Truckers need to use the power they have, and just not deliver to those jurisdictions demanding this nonsense.
They used their power against the state of CO when they vastly over sentenced the driver whose brakes failed and crashed in Denver. His sentence was changed from 110 years to 10 years. I don’t know exactly what got Polis’ attention, whether it was the petition, or truckers saying they would refuse to deliver to the state, but it was changed quickly.
The fed supposedly can regulate interstate commerce. Watch how silent they become when every leftist in every town across the nation implements their own policies.
Shut it down.
I am an OTR trucker. Got told about a month ago I could not go to Canada unless vaxxed. I no longer go to Canada. If there ends up being a vax mandate on truckers it will be a bigger problem than they realize. The folks like me who won’t take the shot will quit and go elsewhere. But, there are also drivers who will use the vaccine mandate as an excuse to get out of the company they are with because they are not happy there and/ or just want to take a couple months off. A vaccine mandate would provide the perfect excuse for them and wouldn’t show up on their DAC report.
( DAC stands for Drive A Check ) all truckers have one and it provides prospective employers info on your driving record, work habits, any incidents you may have had with your previous trucking companies ( ie got in argument with dispatcher, late deliveries on loads etc ). Having a clean DAC report is very important to a trucker. All trucking companies have new drivers ALL the time that have been with them a year or less. That doesn’t mean the driver has only one years experience in trucking, they may have 20 years but only been with a new company a year. Even if the new hire isn’t happy at their new company they are reluctant to quit and go elsewhere right away as it will show up as a black mark against them. Lets Go Brandon!
Hey big mother trucker, we are with you and prepared to wait out the storm. Our best hope is people like you make a statement en masse. We must be prepared to bring the economy to a halt. They are to blame not us.
The US is the last hold out of Western Countries. There’s multiple reasons for it. Do what you must and do it in great numbers. God Bless!!!
Amen, Luke.
Thank you for all you do. We stand behind you and appreciate all that you go through to deliver the goods.
In effect, Md, all of you hold the whip hand in this unholy script. You might just have to use it eventually. God speed and keep you, you brothers, and all your families in the palm of His hand.🙏
boycot dc. nothing in or out for weeks.
All the lawyers in the World won’t save them from a single trucker who shuts down with a full load of bacon.
This accident was horrible and affected many lives. He killed four (originally reported 5, not sure what happened) people were burned alive in their vehicles, others burned and injured for life. People who were not hurt and able to get out of their cars were trying to rescue others by determining where the screaming was coming from because the smoke was so thick. He missed a runaway truck ramp, was running people off the road while swerving going down a steep grade on I-70 and crashed into stand still traffic at 85 mph and involved 28 vehicles. He was driving a defective semi owned by a Houston company with numerous citations for various problems, (who opened a new business the day after the crash) and was a Honduran national (not mentioned since crash) . Had to use an interpreter in the trial. This video is pre-trial couldn’t find Dec 22, 2021 video after trial.
In Britain where I lived for many years, we had what were referred to as cowboy drivers…foreign truck drivers from Europe who had to remember that we drove on the “other side of the road”. Depending on how stringent the laws were in Europe for licensing and regulation for their long haul drivers, and keeping in mind Britain’s were uber strict, many a foreign trucker came unstuck with often fatal consequences ensuing. Speed was often an issue, especially in Wales where I lived because of the myriad curvy and sometimes steep roads. I doubt credentials were checked at Dover where they crossed. But they should have been.
So much wrong with this whole situation, regarding law and/or lack of it, public perception and changing narrative, smh. Familiar with this stretch and followed it on twitter in real time. Also, had a relative jack knife his trailer, killing himself rather than hit a car pulling out of a country road. Saved a family and for that there is no greater love.
Your relative was a good man. His unselfish action tells me all I ever need to know about him to make such a statement. I’m sure you miss him very much and grieve for him still. I am so so sorry, donefixin. What a terrible loss. Requiescat in pace, sir.
NAFTA was allowing less qualified drivers on US roads
I’m as sure of that, C, as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow.
My mistake. Now says Cuban immigrant.
Why does any State sentence people for bad brakes, when they allow illegals to drive without insurance !? Especially truckers that get cut off all day long by almost all the stupid car and suv drivers. Yeah, no wonder their truck brakes fail, there’s NO time to stop!
I wish the truckers would have insisted on a not guilty verdict for the trucker.
Requiring every one to be covod tested every 2 weeks to participate in living a life under the jack booted Nazis is absolutely brilliant.
It is even better than requiring the jab every 6 months. The anti-vaxers are silenced, there is no liability for any one re. a vaccine, and it can apply to all ages. Want to work, show us your papers, a negative covid test. Wanna shop, show us your papers. Wanna leave your residence, show us your papers, and those papers have to be current. And current is no older than 14 days ago.
Absolutely brilliant.
And what if they put a dab of “vaccine” or the actual virus itself on each swab used for testing?
Well then we’re all f***** but until that time we must do what we can.
With the Gates/Soros consortium’s new testing acquisition, I’m suspecting this could be the case, except for the fact that any mRNA poison incorporated in the tests would have to be stored at extreme subzero temperatures. I can’t see how that would be doable.
But then I don’t have that sort of rancid, amoral mind of a Gates or a Soros.
Now, could they incorporate an even deadlier substance in their testing products? That’s a question for another thread.
They’ve already discovered graphene and nanotubes in test kits as well as masks back in 2020 and 2021.
My thinking exactly. And as the FDA is a corrupt partner with Big Pharma, as evidenced by their trying to hide what they all know is in these poisons by asking the courts to allow them to keep it secret for 75 years…mercifully shut down by a federal judge who gives them 8 months to make it public…we’d never find out what new and improved poison was embedded in them.
So evil and unhinged are the players in this genocide that I’d bet money this will be the case. And I’m no gambler.

The fake administration is willing to destroy the economy bit by bit over an experimental injection, for a manufactured virus crisis. On top of that you have a group of incompetent, unqualified fake experts, making decisions, that are the reason for the economy being in shambles. The most robust economy in the history of the world, is a myth. The trucking industry is vastly more important and valuable to the country, than the make believe administration.
It does put lawyers and truckers in a different perspective of importance.
frontlinedoctors.com for all the smart answers to this myth.
I’m confident that Pete Buttplug will come up with satisfactory solutions to any and all transportation related difficulties.
Paternity Leave Part Deux. Planning a little family getaway to a warm location. Florida seems to be a popular destination these days.
In Buttygig’s case it’s maternity (not paternity) leave. Chastain is the “husband.”
The Transportation Fairy is working on the problem, when he is not detoured with Pee-Wee Playhouse Playtime
This is where I post that picture, from a decade ago, showing a long line of Russian soldiers, each of whom with a melon under each arm, walking single file, in from a farm field, demonstrating, according to the caption, that the Russian government, in food distress at that time, doing everything possible to remedy the situation.
I recall the wags among us asking, ‘What? No carts? Why 50 men when 2, plus a cart, woulda gathered 100 melons for half the nourishment?
Remember the Holodomor, Dan.
“For the U.S. economy, a SNAFU of that significance only ends with one result.”
The desired and designed one. Crash the economy.
“Now, we take Georgia. Then we change America!”
Do you think it will finally get so bad around the country that we’ll finally get up off the sofa and storm DC, pull them out of congress and beat the crap out of them??
No
Nope.
Hell no lol 😆
hope so waiting for the SPARK and it has to start in the USA we are the only ones with the second amendment and a majority .WE ARE MANY THEYE ARE FEW . blessings to all treepers R.D.
I transplant Pelosi’s face over Gaddafi’s every night in my dreams.
Doesn’t make sense? Of course it doesn’t, nothing does.
The Supreme Court will be destroyed if they uphold the mandates. The Justices can’t go on Fox News or MSNBC and argue their decisions like the dirty, lying, stinking politicians can. They are ‘helpless’ in the face of public opinion.
Some brave republican leader should fire a shot across the USSC’s bow with a strong insurrection warning.
The next step would be extreme Federalism. So extreme that blue states will poop their pants. The states should enact legislation criminalizing covid policy enforcement.
I’m hoping for extreme federalism. Seems like red state governments could be doing more. Florida is showing the way.
When you have globalist like gregg abbott running red states you do not get extreme federalism.
SCOTUS already lost all credibility when they refused to address the stolen election.
Yes…a fatal blow to their credibility as the final arbiter of the now tattered and dirtied Constitution as written.
The one section I haven’t read anything about is what will be the impact on traveling sales Reps.
When I worked in manufacturing we had a Salesforce that traveled for weeks at a time to locations allover the world.
I also constantly had sales Reps from allover the country in my office to sale/show their products that we used to make our products.
Many decades ago I was told something I’ll never forget, “Nothing happens until someone sales something.”
Is there a sales Reps that can chime in? I’d really like to hear from you.
I cover Maine/NH for a construction products firm. My management had to switch a sales meeting out of Boston to Manchester NH due to new city vax requirements. They are against all this nonsense. If we can’t move product to our lumberyards, residential construction will stop. We’re currently shipping 2-4 days behind for the first time due to people calling in sick at the warehouses. IMO many people are taking advantage of the situation and staying home. They simply don’t care anymore.
Thank you Kurt.
Take heed fellow Patriots, in Australia they introduced this same testing bullshit two weeks ago. The results are pure chaos, firstly there’s next to no tests available, secondly, your supposed to test yourself everyday coming it going to work or enertering public buildings or shops/ pubic places.
There is so much confussion when mixed with the mandate bullshit, social distancing and mask fantasies that the whole thing is simply so unitellegenable that it is completely unworkable.
But the upside is this latest piece of idiocy has cemented the outlook of fence sitters in Patriots favour, not only that but the backtracking the Government has been forced to do is hilarious.
They are falling apart with the narrative big-time which is most definitely to our advantage for the time being.
People have had a gutfull and are now openly in defiance .
Silver lining here , but I do stress at the moment.
Appreciate the “heads-up”. Doesn’t mean anyone learns by it, but does preview the inevitable expectation.
Thank you, Mungrel. You all are the proverbial canary in a very poisonous coal mine. Take heed we on this site do, and with your information we also take hope. There will be one push too far but at what point that will be is unknowable. Take care, my good friend. You are always in my prayers. LBT.
Scenario:
Since most trucks are privately owned, the feds can’t simply replace truck drivers with National guards, can they?
And the army doesn’t have enough trucks to deliver what our private truckers do per day., do they?
So, will Joe ”ration” our supplies to blue states only?
And let red state people starve?
I don’t think Joe knows a “red” State from a “blue” State. To Joe it is all just a blur.
He’s already doing that with federal (our) money. Taking from us for his favoured states and groups. Doing it with food and other essentials is no doubt on the list. Our truckers will at some point not allow themselves to be used in such a manner I suspect. Mass refusal. I pray that will be the case.
Already doing that with covid treatments.
His problem is most goods (especially food) are produced in red states with the exception of california.
I hadn’t thought about it until after I read this article. But I read it again, thought about it some more, and then, I read every single comment.
HERE IT IS:
Let’s say a trucker has to take a COVID test 1/2 way across the country from home base.
If the test is positive, WHAT is the trucker supposed to do? They can’t quarantine in their cabs, they can’t unhook their trailers and leave their loads. They can’t isolate, because they have to get fuel, food, and use the restroom. Even if they went to a motel, they couldn’t leave their trucks, trailers, and loads there indefinitely. Refrigerated loads require attention and a source of cooling power. If another driver was dispatched, it looks like the truck cab would have to be sanitized. And how would the original driver, possibly sick, make it all the way home without contact?
IMPOSSIBLE!
I don’t see any way this could be managed at all.
It is an example of how Libtards do everything about everything. Libtards lack; rationale, judgment, commonsense. If Libtards had; rationale, judgment, commonsense it would be impossible to be a Libtard.
Winner!!!
Such good points. Definitely time to start treating this like the familiar respiratory virus it is. Effective early antiviral treatment should be available from every doctor, urgent care, and pharmacy. State governments should just go ahead and lift the unconscionable and unprecedented restrictions on doctors. Plus, Omicron for most people is just a cold. Testing has become pointless. Don’t know that it ever made much sense, since we learned that there is no asymptomatic transmission.
TR, all the scenarios obviously planned in the minds of people who have never produced one thing, who have never had to actually work for a paycheck and therefore have absolutely no idea how the real world operates never plan for when those plans go wrong. To them, if their fairy tale musings work on paper they will certainly work in practice because no one is smarter than they are. You know, I know, everybody here knows that life is never like that, never follows a script.
Arrogance, hubris, nemesis…that’s the eternal script which I hope plays out for these monsters.
Here is a little dose of trucker reality. My wife and I went into a Walmart today in western Washington state. At the moment all passes over the Cascade Mountains are closed due to dangerous avalanche conditions.
Walmart had no eggs, no butter and many empty shelves. This was from just a couple of days without regular truck deliveries.
One week without truck deliveries will create a panic. Two weeks of that will produce total anarchy.
The average person has no idea how precarious our ROLLING grocery supply chain remains at all times.
Maybe it is a perfect time for the “average person” to find out. Especially, Western Washington’s “average person”….couldn’t happen to “better” people.
Life is the best education. I have a business degree from a very good university which I count as wasted time and money compared to the true education I was fortunate enough to receive many years later. And believe me, there is no price I can put on that.
I look back, college was an experience and place at a time I was of little use anywhere else. My biggest challenge was to not allow the professors influence me to the point I could not earn some money someday.
Amen.

I am in western Washington as well.
Went into a Freddy’s and the produce was very slim pickings. Also there were no, of all things, raisins.
There isn’t a major urban area in the country that would be standing 96 hours after a wholesale disruption of the food chain. This is the doorway that leads to declarations of martial law and putting armed troops in the streets.
The end game for them? Probably. But as they are busy purging their good patriotic military and poisoning the rest, I doubt in the end they’ll have the numbers they need to accomplish this. And nothing will ensure that those remaining troops en masse would follow orders like that. Only the attempt to enforce martial law will tell us if that last sentence is true. The traitorous brass can try it I suppose, but somehow I believe it wouldn’t work out in the simple way they think it would.
My wife and I went shopping at Publix, the largest grocery chain in Florida. They are the go to food shopping center for most Floridians. We live in St. Petersburg, FL. No snow, no avalanches; hasn’t even rained in 5 days!
We shopped at 11 am and they were out of real milk, half and half and EGGS! 12 feet of cooler space absolutely EMPTY! 2 of the “must have” food groups, especially for families with kids, and the cooler was empty. And it’s pretty hard to stock up on eggs and milk, so it’s not from hording.
And you have the price of gas stuck at $3.35 a gallon and driving up the cost of pretty much everything. It’s time we all stop being nice to our Biden neighbors and hit them in the face with the reality of their voting. Later I was in Walmart and the older lady in front of me complained to the check-out lady about the cost of shopping and said something to the effect … **cking Biden! The check-out lady said “It’s not his fault” and that’s when I gave her my 30 second economy class about cancelling pipelines and Executive Orders. Then I told her to take her **it and shove it! All I heard from the people in line behind me was … “Yes” … “Your Right” … “That’s Right”.
It’s time to call a spade a spade and do it right to their face in public. Embarrass them with facts in front of their neighbors! If we don’t take this on now, the next step will be very mad people getting physical and instead of a bruised egos, there will be broken bones!
Bravo, good sir!! Someone has to educate them. I’m from the South and as such having good manners is just a part of that upbringing.
But even I am a hair’s breadth from setting them aside for just a moment when I hear people like that checkout person. No functioning brain cell, or she would be asking why it is her paycheck is shrinking. Which it is but she has no clue apparently.
Keep up the good work. Oh, and I think that older lady with the vocabulary of a well educated sailor and I could be besties.
It is like a bunch of narcissist monkeys have taken over the country.
Taken over the world….and oh yeah….these monkeys have stolen our credit cards.
All by design. Chaos in the supply chain is a feature, not a flaw. They are doing this to the American people ON PURPOSE.
Oh this is an easy one. I have an oil tester mounted on my dash and can test oil samples at the press of a button. This helps avoid costly breakdowns and in fact I just did a top end over the Holidays because of the oil sampling. Its money well invested. Going a step futher- using A.I. in cab sampling of your saliva or whatever bodily fluid could be done whenever the D.O.T sends a message to the truck or your phone that a covid test is required. Not only that, weigh stations can send a bypass or pull in signal to your trucks transponder for further testing and inspection. You get to pay for all this of course. States will need to hire more people- meet your new inspector Mohammed El Mohammad . Think Im nuts? Yeah about as nuts as whole countries being locked down because of the China Pox.
My thought as well, Mike.
They will use AI, Prepass, 4G in-cab connections and the “Chicken coups” for Compliance.
“Covid” is an airborne spreader. Next will be air samplers everywhere. Real time monitoring.
The irony is that there is a segment of society that is going to be hit particularly hard. All of us here have a pretty good idea as to who they are, those who don’t have a clue as to what is coming.
I shan’t try to list them all but the less obvious its seems to me, are the rich and politicians many of whom can no more avoid the forthcoming problems than the rest of the population.
I would imagine that DC and NY are going to be especially badly hit, which may give many of you particular pleasure.
Politicians won’t be hit. They have bunkers and massive food supplies
Most of them don’t. Your average Westchester or Fairfax County Coucilman are no more prepared for this than the average citizen, probably less.
Most Capitol Hill staffers live in a brownstone or somewhere in the near suburbs, in a small space with absolutely zero thought given to weathering a food crisis. The people who keep the congressional show running aren’t wealthy enough to have bunkers, but they are comfortable enough that the idea of needing one will never cross their minds.
Only the very top of the pyramid gets the goodies.
The truckers hold the key to stopping this entire thing. Park ’em boys and let ’em sit. Those of us with skills and knowledge will be just fine. We can wait it out.
So, let’s follow a logic trail…
They have PROVEN that they can’t see three steps ahead in the sequence, although they can plan evil ten steps in advance!
1 Cor 4:4 – “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” and all other things that God has provided in wisdom to us.
Good wisdom. Thank you.
Their whole “plan” is to billy us into submission. They thought they’d be there by now. All we have to do is not give in.
Build Back Bolshevik in action.
Hoping that the justices are seeing these reports and getting deluged with TRUTH & FACTS from many people/associations/attorneys etc. Praying that God sears their consciences and causes them to rule in favor of our Constitutional Republic and it’s free citizens!🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
the lib justices stated not one accurate fact about COVID19, the vaccines or masking. They brought up no legal issues just spewed hyperbolic crap demanding everyone must be vaxed, masked and the federal government had whatever powers it needed because COVID is the deadliest pandemic EVER in our history and everyone is dying. The feds must protect everyone against this grave and great danger.
SCOTUS will twist theirselves into multipretzels trying not to rule on anything of significance.
Maybe Roberts will ride to the rescue again. The “vaccine” is not a “vaccine” but a tax. Spit.
Covid-19 test kits contain lethal chemicals.
The swab contains ethylene oxide. The test kit reagent contains sodium azide.
The reagent sodium azide is used to react with the swab to indicate if the covid-19 virus is present.
You are directly contaminated with the swab that contains ethylene oxide.
The swab is then used with a reagent, sodium azide, in the test kit.
The covid-19 test kits have NOT been FDA cleared or approved for use to test for covid-19.
The more you use the test kit the more you become contaminated with ethylene oxide contained in the swab.
The dropper bottles contain the reagent sodium azide which is very toxic and if it comes into contact with you skin can kill you.
Also if it is ingested it will kill you.

Thank you cole for providing this.
Yes!!!!! Thank you, Cole! I became aware of all of this a while back. Other sites which are very good at highlighting information one will not find anywhere else.
Mike Adams’s NATURAL HEALTH NEWS

HEALTH IMPACT NEWS
All of the above are indispensable sites for those interested.
Greg Gutfeild has said it best. This pandemic will not end with the implants in government it will end with the people. We still have the second amendment. They want an insurrection lets show them the definition they obviously don’t understand!
If you know anyone pregnant and they won’t be breastfeeding, tell them to get powder baby milk!
Most truckers already have an unhealthy lifestyle given the hours of sitting, sleeping in the truck, little physical exertion not to mention the stresses they experience on an hourly basis! Truckers rank right up there with our military and law enforcement.
Wouldn’t it be marvelous if they all said “no”?
I think it was 2010 when Mark Steyn wrote AFTER AMERICA GET READY FOR ARMAGEDDON. Sad, but really funny. I highly suggest the audio book of Mark narrating. His sarcasm is Olympic Level. (That means he’s funny) (small joke there)
Excellent recommendation! And his first AMERICA ALONE. Both superb and (made up word) unputdownable.
Everything he has predicted based on history and his keen observation has come true. That he can deliver the bad news with wit is a bonus.
Going to be very interesting to watch what transpires in the big cities when its people can’t get food or gas. It will be like WATTS but 10X bigger.
Get out of cities.
Which is exactly why Obama wanted to do away with the suburbs and despised the rural areas.
Cities full of people are much easier to force into compliance.
Look at a map of the US Folks. ALL major forms of transportation and communications run through MAJOR CITY HUBS OWNED BY DEMOCRATS…in ALL colors of governed states. If the Supreme Court sides with mandates, these areas are free to impose OSHA rules no matter what state governments may say, protected by the ALL Federal Executive Branch Agencies, DoJ and Federal Courts.
God bless beltways.
I’m sure somewhere in the Marxist’s Psyop-Central their rubbing their hands at the imminent collapse and opportunities to rebuild their ‘perfect society’ and usher in an age of techno-feudalism, but they might be be actually fashioning the instrument of their demise. Food shortages and the attendant hunger are good ways to control populations, but only those who have had historically low expectations of their government and often a history of brutal state intervention. America has not had those and their experiment could just as well end up uniting people against a common enemy as achieving victory. The very fact they might even be considering this suggests they are really have their backs against the walls and little room for manoeuvre, or have fatally misunderstood the country they live in.
Take your pick, desperation or ignorance, they both lead to uncharted waters fot the left, a position they hate being in as it historically exposes their inadequacies and leads to their ultimate demise.
“Join smaller firms”. Thus life still will be mostly the same?
You’re forgetting that none of the items that they use daily is transported by truck.
Samantha just wiggles her nose and it magically appears.

As AOC once famously referenced, why do we need to depend on farmers for food, we can just go to the grocery store and get what we need?!?!? This coming from one who allegedly has a degree in economics!
She is a total fraud…probably wasn’t much of a bartender either. She auditioned for her part, got the job, and was paid to run for office. It’s what the elitist powers do when they control everything.
I’m guessing dishwasher.
International Relations with a minor in Economics.
where did she say this. I’d like to see the website, or interview or wherever it was that she said this ignorant statement.
I think that was originally tied to Stacy Abrams and Justin Trudeau, it was false both times as well. It’s one of those memes that isn’t true, but people like it because it does seem to fit just how dense they are.
She is also a bartender that thinks Republicans want to boink her.
