The preparation window has closed.
Given the destabilized and tenuous nature of the current supply chain, many people wondered if the Biden administration would actually be stupid enough to follow through with a truck driver vaccination mandate. The answer is yes. Please conduct yourselves accordingly.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) updated their guidance yesterday [LINK HERE] and put a hard date of tomorrow, January 22nd, for the trucker vaccine mandate at all border crossings and ferry terminals. Canada put the vaccine mandate into effect last week, January 15th.
[Dept. of Homeland Security] – [..] “Starting on January 22, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security will require that non-U.S. individuals entering the United States via land ports of entry or ferry terminals along our Northern and Southern borders be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and be prepared to show related proof of vaccination,” said Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “These updated travel requirements reflect the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to protecting public health while safely facilitating the cross-border trade and travel that is critical to our economy.”
These changes – which were first announced in October 2021 and made in consultation with the White House and several federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – will align public health measures that govern land travel with those that govern incoming international air travel.
Non-U.S. individuals traveling to the United States via land ports of entry or ferry terminals, whether for essential or non-essential reasons, must:
-
- verbally attest to their COVID-19 vaccination status;
- provide proof of a CDC-approved COVID-19 vaccination, as outlined on the CDC website;
- present a valid Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)-compliant document, such as a valid passport, Trusted Traveler Program card, or Enhanced Tribal Card; and,
- be prepared to present any other relevant documents requested by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer during a border inspection.
COVID-19 testing is not required for entry via a land port of entry or ferry terminal.
Although these new vaccination requirements do not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or U.S. nationals, all travelers are reminded to bring a WHTI-compliant document when re-entering the United States. (more)
Approximately 50% of U.S. Truck Drivers are unvaccinated, they can no longer enter Canada. Starting tomorrow, Canadian and Mexican truck drivers must be vaccinated, or they will not be able to enter the U.S.
Land shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables into Canada are immediately impacted. Land shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables into the U.S. from Mexico are impacted starting tomorrow. In addition to agriculture, lumber and auto-parts are likely to face significant impact.
CANADA – […] Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, at a news conference in Calgary, urged the government to extend an exemption that had been in place for truckers since the start of the pandemic.
Kenney made his request on the same day the United States confirmed its own vaccine border mandate for truckers would start on Saturday. Canada’s has been in place since Jan. 15.
“Common sense tells us that we are at the peak of supply chain constraints across North America, around the world, huge inflation,” Kenney said.
This is not the moment “to lose potentially thousands of truckers on our roads, bringing groceries up from the US and who knows maybe (COVID) rapid test kits as well,” he said.
As many as 32,000, or 20 per cent, of the 160,000 Canadian and American cross-border truck drivers may be taken off the roads by the mandate, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) estimates. The industry was short some 18,000 drivers even before the mandate, CTA said. (read more)
The bottom line is both shortages and higher prices. Canada will feel it the worst; however, U.S. stores will feel it also. The inflation this will drive will be on top of existing price pressure. We have been warning since October, prices will increase, and shortages will be impactful.
The retail food stores have been reflecting the majority of the price increase from government COVID policy. This vaccine mandate will make those price increases more as transportation costs will increase again. However, the second route for fresh food delivery, “food away from home“, will suffer the majority of this price increase. Restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, bars and institutional settings (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) will see significant increases in their food costs.
A perfect storm has been created by policy.
Energy policy has driven up oil, fuel, packaging and gas prices. Transportation costs have skyrocketed. Emission regulations have driven up port costs and delayed transportation fracturing the supply chain. Vaccine mandates have hit the manufacturing and processing sectors. Legislative policy and COVID spending have artificially inflated the economy. Monetary policy has devalued the dollar and driven even higher inflation.
A tenuous economy cannot take these self-inflicted wounds…. and it’s about to get worse.
Into this hurricane of stagflation, the fed is going to raise interest rates. The stock market could lose half its inflated value. The NASDAQ is already responding to the storm clouds. Employment is going to start getting really sketchy. Congress will eventually announce their remedy, which will be more spending – and the dollar gets worse.
All of this was avoidable.
None of this is caused by COVID-19.
All of this is caused by Joe Biden’s economic, financial, monetary and legislative policy.
The people behind Joe Biden are laughing….
…Biden has no idea.
But an unvaccinated truck driver who stops his truck at our Southern border and walks across asking for financial assistance and free stuff will be welcomed with open arms.
…and a pre-filled ballot to sign.
And $800 from the UN, or is it $485,000 from our government? Can’t keep up here, it changes so often.
Just like the CDC definition of “vaccinated.”
Most relevant, such a driver will face NO Covid requirements; no vax, let alone documentary PROOF of vax.
And, when this undocumented border crosser goes to VOTE, no documentation,….UNLESS they impose a requirement for proof of vax, in order to VOTE?
They won’t ask for ID but will ask for proof of vaccination which is an ID of sorts? I don’t think so.
What they will do is say it is too dangerous to vote in person and we must mail in our ballots – again.
Ah, yes. And don’t forget that an arrest warrant now constitutes proof of ID.
Can we get any more insane?
Don’t forget all the Afghanistan “refugees” also
Don’t forget the Haitian refuges that walked across our Southern border.
that live on an island, the Hatians that is. I was always curious how people of no means that lived in poverty could get themselves to Mexico and walk across the border. most Americans are geographically challenged and assumed Haiti is in Central America.
We should all gather across the border, jam over it & get in on this gravy train!
I keep having a pipedream that millions, maybe 50 million or so, Americans simply walk into Mexico and take over their country. Region by region take it over and then install a new government, a new constitution (with known flaws removed). Mexico has oil, ag lands, everything we need including a wonderful climate.
And thousands of heavily armed cartel
AND be given housing assistance, medical care, schooling, food stamp card, and probably an absentee voting ballot.
Our destruction is their goal, and they are moving at a rapid pace. God help us.
while we wait for God to get involved, we could always help ourselves…
More Bore: Exactly. Each and every one of us can be taking action, of some sort, and based on one’s personal circumstances, rather than waiting on the Almighty, or on politicians.

Thanks. While I believe in prayer I believe the enemy will split our sculls with a government hammer. Time is now. Pray while we’re taking back our country
That is what God said, “God helps those that help themselves”.
We must help ourselves. God expects those who are capable to help themselves.
Well thank God we helped the communists win WWII. It’s really paid off in dividends.
Patton was right.
I firmly believed Patton was murdered for being right.
An untimely, unfortunate vehicle accident? To the man who advocated marching to Berlin and then all the way to Moscow? Yeah. Right. Accident indeed…..
But the pedestrian crossings are exempted?
American truckers can reenter US and not required to show proof of vax?
All that fresh produce coming up from Mexico will start to dwindle. That will impact a lot of people. Which will be more expensive, broccoli or ribeye steak?
Broccoli is up $1.00 already. I can see it going over $5.00 easily.
Maybe that’s why Whole Foods had totally full shelves of produce this morning, including bags and bags of citrus fruit. Must have gotten the last of it. What was also odd — the prices – bargain basement.
Are they stupid enough?
The answer is always yes!
IMHO, they want it to look stupid. That is why we have Joe, so they can blame him. Joe is a distraction.
It is all planned.
FoBW: I agree. Not making any sense, and being demeaning to intelligence, is a key strategy for establishing and tightening control of the populace.
Having lunch with friends today and that is exactly what we were discussing.
biden is just the figurehead.
It’s the people behind him that are doing this.
Did you hear what Jen Psaki said on the View? She said she loves “working for President Obam…President Biden every single day.” Oops.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/01/jen-psakis-freudian-slip-brings-obamas-cryptic-third-term-comments-back-into-question-video/
They are not stupid at all. This is an intentional planned strategy. Don’t assume their idea of “better” is the same as that of those of us who love America. It is not. Build Back Better looks like a nightmare to us. You can’t build anything back better until you first destroy it. That is their goal.
Satan and its minions are fundamentally liars. Their words mean the opposite. War is peace. Slavery is freedom. Destroy is build. Horrible is better.
They aren’t stupid. The destruction is the intent. It’s supposed to get people angry enough to accept their “alternative”. They will call it a massive failure of the ecnomic status quo of the past and present their alternative.
All those unvaxed American drivers that hauled fruits and vegetables and other food stuffs into Canada can now be utilized to move cheapo ChiCom junk from Long Beach and LA to the interior.
NOT….the problem with communist CA is NOT a shortage of drivers but a shortage of TRUCKS compliant with their new regulations….they have to be 3 years or LESS in age with all the bells and whistles for emissions
That and intentional union slowdowns.
Only if their trucks can clear Kalifornica’s stringent laws for diesel truck engines. But even if they could, were I trucker right now, I’d tell Newsome and the ports to shove it.
But illegals don’t?
Just came back from shopping at a Publix store in St. Petersburg Fl and the price of fresh produce is out of control. I don’t know how people with a family can afford this much longer and this Mandate on truckers is going to make food prices skyrocket. I told the lady checking me out, that I am going to have to get a part time job just to cover the increase in food prices. By the way, the fresh meat section was just about empty.
Neither Publix or Walmart would let me shop Online yesterday, or today
What do you mean?
1) The site was down, or 2) there was a notice “No online orders today”?
Or something else?
All for Omicron.
Actually, for Klaus Schwab and his friends.
How soon until the chants shift to FBO?
When will US drivers have to be tested or have proof of vax in order to drive on US highways?
Don’t give them any ideas!
Blue Wildflower: As soon as they restore the recharging privileges on everyone’s Teslas.
Canadians will be flooding US pretty soon.
The Canadians who have second homes in my neighborhood arrived last night.
Not necessarily.. As useless as our clowns are Washington St. Michigan and New York State IMO are far worse, and certainly much, much more violent.
Other than fresh fruit, most foodstuffs we will get but just pay much more for.
Our beef, poultry, dairy and produce here in British Columbia is quite good.
We have thousands of acres of produce under greenhouses.
A local producer bought a massive legal pot grow operation for cents on the dollar, and now grows vegetables there.
We’re not making it to mid-terms.
Buckle up and hang on. We will make it but it’ll be bumpy.
Is Ron Klain employed by Bo or is he simply stupid?
He is evil and yes he does BO’s bidding.
Had enough yet !?!?!?
“…entering the United States via land ports of entry or ferry terminals along our Northern and Southern borders …”
Guessing that anyone who sneaks across the border at other than traditional checkpoints is officially in the clear.
This is by design. For whatever reason, the implementation of this mandate has a desired effect in the form of slowdowns and disruption of trade. Why? Well, one would have to be nuts to understand.
If you want to post music videos or movie clips, the OPEN thread is the place to do it.
So they’re committed to protecting the north border, but the south, not so much. That rascally virus is one smart virus.
Hourly unvaccinated illegal aliens enter America and are greeted by government officials.
Well I’m fully in support of the unjabbed truckers should they decide to block all entry points on the Southern Border. Just saying! 👍
Excellent idea!
This disaster in the making was part of the globalists reset plan all along. Hopefully, 20,000 or 30,000 trucks will circle DC and other lib dumps and totally starve them out 1st.
I recall in the 80’s the truckers were in a snit over something and blocked all the lanes going east/west on
Rt. 80 – Illinois to Iowa. I was coming back from a business trip in DesMoines and the trucks were going
no more than 30 miles an hour.
I wonder if Old Joe knows he is 0bama’s fall guy to destroy the American economy?
“I want to fundamentally change America.”
Barack Obama
All the Mexican truck drivers can just say they’re an illegal immigrant and then they’ll be allowed in, put on welfare, get free college, vote, commit crimes without punishment, etc…..
I think this is being directed by people who are looking to collapse the Biden administration and cannot believe the stupidity of the people in it. The country will suffer but not collapse, America’s still too resilient for that eventuality but this is a dead administration walking and it’s support will evaporate.
We are already seeing the signs of a reset, but not the one the globalists were looking for and one has to ask the question have they fallen into a massive trap. After decades of the globalists slowly inflitrating and subverting institutional watchdogs, regulatory processes, including electoral systems and foundational cores structures, all under the cloak of progressive politics, the process of rooting them out was always going to have to coincide with a series of seismic events to Could everything we’ve witnessed these two years be part of a process to create those necessary conditions? Or is this just a logical conclusion, progressives hitting the apex and starting the long slide down the other side? In essence is it nature or nurture we are witnessing, or a combination of both?
There are probably 4 or 5 things the Demented Fraud’s puppet masters have either put in place or allowed to develop that can totally end the US as we know it. Food shortages leading to massive civil uprising could lead to a total police state. The collapse of the dollar as the world currency could bring on the same events over night. A totally meaningless war in Ukraine could result in a homeland attack by any number of foreign powers. Any number of different attacks on our infrastructure could take us out for months. Total crash of the stock market along with massive inflation looks more than probable. Should I keep going on?
They can’t want to use this to oust Ole Joe then install Kamala who will do the same thing. Both are puppets of the globalist group. One world government; no sovereignty for any nation.
“stupid enough”? Until you understand this is all by design, you won’t understand the problem or the solution…
“Never underestimate Joe (Bidens) ability to f*ck things up!”
Barak Obummer, someone who should know.
“Whoever came up with the expression “Foolproof” grossly underestimated the creativity and ingenuity of FOOLS!”
Secretary Alenjandro N. Mayorkas fails to mention how he is going to enforce the illegals entering the U.S. vaccine stat.
Bad enough as it is, but now add new definition of vaccinated and what was out of control becomes worse.
I am sooooooooo SICK of these stupid Sons of Bitches
Hence the fence around the White House…
Mexican cartels are going to make a fortune forging vaccination documents.
I’m sure Mexican doctors will make some good money rubber stamping vaccination records as well.
Already available on the streets of Santa Ana in California.
The ruling by Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown in the Southern District of Texas enjoining the private business vaxx mandate should void the requirement to show vaccination status..
Flood your representatives and senators about the idiocy and destructive nature of these policies. Demand they these policies be rescinded. You can even use pictures of starving cats since cat food is gone in many places.
Make sure the narrative sticks to the policy and not the truckers. Make the legislative branch be part of the problem.
How soon will the shrill panicked cries from the MSM and NGOs come demanding the nationalization of the supply chain and food supply! Has the XO already been written?
SUNDANCE SAID:
“All of this was avoidable.
None of this is caused by COVID-19.
All of this is caused by Joe Biden economic, financial, monetary and legislative policy.
The people behind Joe Biden are laughing….
…Biden has no idea.”
👏👏👏👏
EXACTLY!
The “supply chain disruptions” are not a bug, they are a feature, part of the controlled demolition of the West as part of the WEF “Great Reset.”
I just don’t understand. This affects everyone including those in DC and democrat run cities. Who do they think they are going to get anyone to vote for them after they deliberately destroyed our economy? And even more frustrating is that the GOP RINO’s sit on their hands. Where are they going to get their food and supplies? Do they have stashed supplies?
I’m sure they do! They’re probably having all this fresh meat and produce – or anything else they want – privately flown in, on Taxpayer money and then have these private out-the-back-door establishments selling to the elites’ household employees. Elites’ aren’t stupid and JoeBama funnels it all to them to keep them in luxury.
AND….you forget….they don’t have to worry about the “American Voter” anymore – they’ve already got people filling out ballots for the next election.
Horrible picture but unfortunately true
Boost us, starve us. There will be payback.
“Keep on truckin’ ” …said no one in the Biden administration.
All of these decisions are made to destroy the U.S. This is Cloward Piven strategy. Overwhelm the system and cause an economic collapse so the Fascists can build back better! You’ll own nothing! And you’ll love it!
I thought Sundance said that US Truck drivers would need to have a Covid test or Vax paperwork to drive on US highways on a certain date. When is that date? I understand the Canada/Mexico border crossing issue and I am not asking about it.
Until the Democrat voters are impacted, this won’t matter. We need empty shelves not higher prices. The wealthy, EBT users, dead, and government workers won’t feel anything short of Zimbabwe like hyperinflation.
We need empty shelves and out of control in the affluent lefty enclaves.
The pain has to be greater than the benefit the Communists are expecting to achieve. Only solution.
do truckers hauling illegals get a pass?
I would bet a mexican trucker can get a Kovid vax pass for about $3 at any taco stand within 20 miles of the border.
I’d be willing to bet that Government Drivers and muslimes would be exempt for both countries…. because that is how their Defective brains work !
Sorry! My 6 months old twin nephews could do a better job than this!!!!!!!! Adjectives like “clown,” “insane,” “incompetent,” “stupid,” “idiotic,” “demented,” don’t come close! (Feel free to pile on!)
These EVIL PEOPLE love it when their plans come together. Elevate gas prices, add in a virus they were able to use to isolate and scare many and mandate compliance. Trust us it is for your protection.
Complete IDIOCY and complete betrayal of the United States…by it’s own “leadership”.
Storm the palace or we watch it continue to burn…not good choices.
Sundance, I had to stop reading to laugh: “… many people wondered if the Biden administration would actually be stupid enough to follow through with a truck driver vaccination …”
Is there anything the Biden Administration wouldn’t actually be “stupid enough to do?”
Evidently, not.
“Biden has no idea”
But Dr. Skank does, but was willing to let the demented fool be used.
Am I right in suspecting that a nationwide declaration of martial law is what they want, along with wage and price controls on everything?
Welcome to the U.S.S.A., Comrades!
So, when and where and who shoots first?
I think that is one possible outcome
They already Shot 1st.
They MURDERED OUR US Air Force Veteran Sister Ashli Babbitt !
Never forget, never forget, never, never, never forget!
