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.
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.
As Joe told us he “doesn’t care if you think he is the Devil reincarnated”.
This is Joe Biden’s economic, financial, monetary and legislative policy.
And the GOP lets the WH get away with it.
Do all the illegals in the trailers have to get the jab as well?
Axn’ for a friend, right?
No —just the driver.
Do the postal service rig drivers cross into Canada? They’re exempt, remember?
Si, para mi amigo!
All of these unvaccinated and untested illegals send a very clear message that the vaccinations are unimportant since the dems aren’t running around hysterically trying to jab them.
Illegals aren’t vaccinated because big pharma gave orders not to vaccinate. The illegals’ home countries don’t have indemnification agreements with big pharma and could sue for any adverse reactions.
Our politicians know who sign their paychecks…
TPTB don’t want illegals vaccinated becaue they don’t want their ‘shock troops’ maimed before the ugly happens. ‘Tis that simple.
Nah. They’re good.
Yes, but their credentials can be scrawled with a pencil on the side of a paper bag…
Documentation is everything.
Not everything is documentation.
My thoughts exactly.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are based on the honor system and our elected leaders being honorable, moral and ethical….. Very few Politicians are honorable, moral or ethical….We are witnessing in real time the destruction of our Republic….
Don’t expect our Legal system(including SCOTUS) to save us….. Coincidently, almost half of Congress are Lawyers and look at our current disasterous situation…..The distruction of our Republic could be overwhelmingly attributed to one specific profession….Pathetic…..
And what is the penalty for breaching the Constitution? And who would enforce it anyway?
Der Fuehrer was elected, got the Reichstag to appoint him Dictator and ending future voting.
Please stop propagating the statement that our elected civil servants are our leaders. We the people are the leaders of the US Republic. Reassigning leadership to civil servants falsely inflates their importance; and denigrates the actual leaders of our country. Leadership is earned thru hard work; not assigned by elections to lawyers and politicians.
Nailed it.
Our Constitution was made for an honorable, moral, ethical CITIZENRY who was supposed to keep watch over dishonest, immoral and unethical politicians.
Too many punted on their watchdog duties. We have ourselves to blame mostly. Our leaders will not get better until we do….

Will the weird Khaki people be there?
Does anyone know if this will impact mail services? I am getting meds (blood thinners) from Canada. Cost is $50/month vs $500/month from US pharmacy.
Does your mail from Canada come in a truck that crosses the border?
Honestly am not sure. It may come in through air. I have not ordered it yet as my insurance just changed on January 1st, but previously I got insulin (Lantus) from them for my diabetic cat and customs was in CA somewhere. Never had any issue but that was about 3 years ago. I will call them and discuss.
What blood thinners are you ordering? And can you get them without a prescription? Can you send me the site that you use?
I am on Xarelto.
The pharmacy is Marks Marine (I know, strange name). They are a brick an mortar. You can call/email and get a real person. They are very helpful and knowledgeable on rx’s shipping into US.
Lantus was ~$100/vial vs $350 here in US (3 years ago). And yes, prescriptions are required but you can scan/photo and upload or email them.

Sorry.. flagged in ERROR. phone slipped
My guess is that it would be efficient to put them on a plane as air cargo. It is not likely they would travel as freight unless shipped across country in bulk. Your part – the cross border part – is not bulk transport.
If the bulk ingredients come from the U.S., then the mfr might get crunched, leading to you getting crunched.
Didn’t President Trump make that illegal? Meaning, we now have to get the cheapest global price, domestically, for any drug being sold by pharma?
No, it was only for certain meds. I know it didn’t affect seizure meds. Those actually went up when insulin and others went down
Xiden reversed it.
Pres Trump could not undo, rescind, override any of Obama Stampy Feet Executive Orders according to the Not So Supreme Court. But Xiden can undo all the Executive Orders of Pres. Trump
That never came to fruition, not with insulin anyway. I don’t know why, but I do know prices I pay barely budged off their highs. PDJT claimed they came down, but they did not in my area.
Same with “right to try”. Hospitalized, critical patients should be able to get ivermectin under that act, but they don’t.
In Washington state my brother in-laws takes insulin and his went down by $100 every week. Once Biden got in office the prices went back up.
Everything gets on a truck at one point or another so yes most likely. If you can, ask the pharmacy if you can purchase a bulk order. You may also try a Mexico pharmacy as they may be a little more open to a bulk order. Hope this helps and God bless.
Yeah, may have to make the drive to the valley (I am in Texas) but would rather not do that 8 hour, one way trip. I am waiting on my paper RX from my doc and once I have I will call and talk with the pharmacy in Canada.
USPS is already on a go slow. They have been holding packages for 3 days before delivering
I have a 3 month supply so I have plenty of time as long as it isn’t coming in via truck.
Got a penalty today for a “late pay” utility check I sent across town two weeks ago today. Other mail has just disappeared.
I guess this is one way for junk mail to disappear…..
Unless it was a package of mail-in ballots…
I would bet they’re flown in but you never know.
Anyone know how this will impact Alaska?
Simple!
Cloward-Piven.
Too true, and the reason they can pull this off is that too many of us have forgotten or rejected the First Commandment. As a country, we no longer know Who is in charge and Who can save us.
Exactly. Its history it has happened before.
Que Mala said that the Midterm elections are going to be unfair….so it’s coming
Is Atlas Shrugging?
Absolutely incredible how prescient was Ayn Rand.
Who is John Galt?
Atlas has left the building….
Ha, nice… maybe it is more apropos to say John Galt has left the building?
I would say yes. My bank branch was closed for 2 weeks – someone had a sick family member so the entire branch quarantined for 2 weeks. Friend in the printing industry says they haven’t been able to get many types of paper and envelopes for printing because the paper mills are too short handed to produce MANY items. Friend in the electronics industry says many parts still long, long wait times… some items out 12-18 months or more if order placed today. Friends’ daughter is a nurse – has been working insane hours to cover for lack of staff. Several small, family-owned restaurants struggling to keep doors open due to lack of staff. The list seems to go on and on.
I am disappointed in my fellow citizens that won’t work.
He shrugged. Now he is in Galt’s Gulch. Wish I was too……..
“Biden has no idea…”
What brain dead ‘puppet”or “power-hungry puppeteers” don’t realize that shutting down the truckers, arguably the most feisty of the feisty, will quickly shut everything down? Everything. And they think they will skate the consequences? Beware, unintended consequences!
I agree; they are not to be toyed with. And, as a correction above, “I am disappointed with my fellow citizens
who will not work.
Rah,,,, care to comment?
Someone who doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
The American Bolsheviks in full glory. The domestic enemy.
Where do DC rats get their food? Are they protected somehow?
Mostly from the taxpayer.
Probably fr/ a Storehouse, like the creeps in Puerto Rico.
Remember when they found all that bottled water, etc. tucked away months after that horrible ‘cane hit P.R.?
Nope. Not 99 percent of them.
The multi-millionaire senators can fly home to vacation homes, the billionaires can go into their bunkers, but your average GS 10 or GS 15 or lower level SES are as screwed as the rest of us. Probably more so, because they are the exact same people who think preparedness is just a nice motto for the Boy Scouts.
They learned exactly nothing from a week with a steady gasoline supply during the Colonial Pipeline hack. It’s going to take seeing their retirement savings vanish and their bank balances unable to procure a head of lettuce for reality to sink in.
Most of them never met a farmer outside buying some peaches at the summer farmer’s market in the local parking lot.
God is going to give them a bucket of cold water over the head in the suburbs, but downtown- downtown will burn if the shelves are empty for more than four days, along 16th Street and into Shaw and along New York Avenue and maybe out into Takoma Park and Silver Spring.
The local police won’t stop it either. Not the burning, not the looting. The local politicians will call it necessary, they’ll call it social justice.
Then the ones who can, they will head back to wherever they were born – Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, California, Pennsylvania – most everyone in that 40 mile radius is from somewhere else.
That will leave the Salvadorans, the Guatamalans, the Chinese, the European elites, the Nigerians, and the Indians, all with no place to go, stuck with a smattering of locals and a whole bunch of MS-13. More than a quarter of the area was not born in the US. They will be trapped.
People who have vacation homes in the mountains or at the beaches will head there in hopes of finding security and food. Those who don’t have that second home will try to do what they did in the early spring and summer of 2020 – rent in remote rural areas while desperately trying to stock up on non-perishable food along the way. They’ll clean out the small town grocery stores like locusts.
It’s going to get ugly quickly in DC if the trucks stop rolling.
Sorry, a week without a steady supply of gasoline.
We should get ground reports on stores there. I wouldn’t be surprised if big corp was diverting food to DC stores. Gotta keep the capitol fed while the districts suffer.
A new twist on the Hunger Games. Or not.
There isn’t much left for rent in rural areas, the rich have bought up all the houses. What is available for rent is off the charts expensive.
Just like everything They have their own private food suppliers all there needs are self contained.
Remember this is all a prepared pre planned strategy
Probably in underground bunkers somewhere, you can be assured they will have plenty of what they enjoy.
You can walk over from Mexico, just not drive a truck with food over. Brilliant.
Intel is building new multi-billion $ chip foundries in AZ,NM,OH and Germany (100 Billion $).
I’m guessing that those locations were chosen because they took a survey of the chip tech employees in Taiwan and asked them where they would relocate to if they had to flee the country.
Purely a guess.
Biden is doing everything possible to STARVE the American economy AND the American PEOPLE.
It’s NOT a matter of coincidence or incompetence… this is an intentional assault against America.
It. Is. Not. Biden. It is his puppet masters! Also known as WEF.
One being “The One”; BHO.
Exactly – this is WH mgmt team, cabinet and top-level advisers. MOST of whom worked under a previous administration – some names we know, some we don’t. But, we can clearly see the destruction they are causing.
Don’t give Biden a “pass” here.
The Buck Stops w/ Biden.
Obama is doing…
Thank for your concern, Comrade Vladimir Biden
I like a margarita on a hot day. She’s ruined it.
They are very, very afraid of us ; ) just keep tightening the rack and trying to pull us apart.
Is there any legal move against this that can be done under the USMCA agreement?
Collectivists are bastards.
They have sown lawlessness and intend to reap the anarchy for further ends.
God help us all.
A “Fact Checked” blast from the past.

Will Ghislaine Maxwell name Justin as a John Doe?
Reminds me of the story of a young recruit asking the old grizzled Navy vet, “What kind of ‘boats’ does the Navy have sir?” The reply, “We have submarines and targets.”
Seems like we have a game of chicken. “Elites” vs rube hick redneck truckers. I think I know who wins this one.
Wail just a minute….
“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.”
So this really has nothing to do with American truck drivers at all? Non-US individuals? WTF? Over
Look at the Canadian requirement for non- Canadian truckers entering their country.
It’s a matter of national security. Ergo, while defeat of the OSHA mandate in court last week was a victory, other government agencies can invoke a mandate.
Think about it: OSHA cannot impose a mandate. Dept of Homeland Security CAN impose a mandate, as can Dept of Health and Human Services on healthcare employees. Weird, huh?
SCOTUS didn’t do the right thing: mandates are unconstitutional. Period. Instead, they gave us this unworkable, illogical opinion. (SCOTUS issues opinions, not rulings, no matter what the headlines say. We must reclaim the language…)
I’ve been thinking along these lines as well. The Supreme Court reasoning went something like this:
OSHA was way out of its’ lane as Congress had not given OSHA this type of power as well as OSHA deals with workplace safety. Therefore, OSHA cannot put a rule in place that the employee is subject to whether at work or not.
In terms of the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid (CMS) mandate that the SC upheld, the reasoning was that CMS did have this existing authority to mandate since “Fed” dollars are involved.
But you are right – they did not answer the right question – mandates are unConstitutional.
And on that note, I think also though that it has to do with how these cases come before the SC – i.e., what are the arguments being presented? Are those doing the arguing before the SC flatly stating the mandates are Unconstitutional? In both cases I do not think that was the approach used but I could be mistaken.
In terms of this DHS mandate, and Canada’s reciprocal mandate, I’ve been wondering who exactly would have “standing” to sue?
Can US drivers sue Canada for not allowing them to enter without being vaccinated?
Can Canadian drivers sue the US for not allowing them to enter without being vaccinated?
Can Mexican drivers sue both the US and Canada for the same thing?
Maybe some of the trucking companies who own operations in both Canada and the US could bring suit?
Someone did ask the question as to whether the USMCA would be applicable somehow. I do not know the answer but it’s a good question.
I don’t know, but it seems to me it’s being deliberately done this way in order to make it very difficult to be challenged.
Unvaccinated Canadian and Mexican drivers will not be able to deliver goods into the US.
Unvaccinated American and Mexican drivers will not be able to deliver goods into Canada.
And it seems to me these rules should apply to illegals crossing at land borders – but we know that will not be the case.
Meanwhile, Biden denies his oath and the Regime openly pledges to violate federal law.
Biden’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: “Unlawful presence in the United States will alone not be a basis for an immigration enforcement action.”
Mayorkas is a disgusting POS.
Hang this debacle around Buttegeigs neck. Show the American people what a disaster the entire FJB administration is. FJB is toast hes not recovering at this point. Kammy is sinking fast. Time to do what they attempted with Trump…”its not enough to defeat him. He must he destroyed”
Nope. All going according to “The Plan”. OBAMA, he is ‘The One’.
Goes back further than barry, but yeah, he is up to his eyeballs in this.
Curious to see what gets prioritized. There’s a endless procession of wind generator blades coming out Canada in Pembina.
#FJB
Sooooo…..illegal immigrants will be turned away at the border if they can’t show proof of vaccination right?
Never happen.

Due to reading CTH, I noticed the sticky tabs on produce yesterday. I saw nothing that is not Product of Mexico, except a few Product of Peru and Product of Chile.
To make things more interesting, the east coast has a prediction of 100% chance of snow for tonight and tomorrow.
Canadian produce is imported in summer. I know I’ve bought packs of 3 bell peppers (orange, red and yellow) from there.
The destruction of America in the hope people will look up and beg for federal help. Make sure you look up and say FU
Hand the keys to a Coyote and put illegals on top of the trailers and watch them get waived right through!
Does this just apply to DOT regulated truckers?
I can see Texas entrepreneurs making a produce run to Mexico in their1/2 ton for their neighborhood.
What is the purpose of breaking America? The people who are doing are willingly doing it? What for?
New World Order managed by the UN
Destruction of the Western Middle Classes is priority one. Way back in the seventies … white papers of former iterations of the current globalist organizations (WEF/Davos etc…) show their believe the Middle Class life style is unsustainable for the planet. They were already plotting how to destroy the Western Middle Classes. NOT a single word, not one about the Upper Class life style, NOT ONE.
Could Satan be in charge of his evil followers?
They are clearly not worried about the midterms.
They won’t need to if they enact martial law
I am firmly convinced that ridding the states of their police forces so that they can install a federal
police force ala Brownshirts is one of the top items on the fascist agenda.
What a conundrum: on the one hand, I would not welcome Brownshirts. On the other, I would cheer if the “I was just following orders” police officers are kicked to the curb, sans pensions and paycheck like the rest of us.
I used to trust and defend LEOs. Now I am far more cautious. Too many will throw us, their oaths, and the Constitution under the bus to protect themselves.
No they aren’t. The only people that still believe we will stop this destruction through elections is us. This situation is far more serious than we are letting ourselves believe. The proof of that is that we are not doing a damn thing to change direction. We either flood our state capitals and D.C. with patriots demanding a stop to this craziness or we will be picked off one by one with no chance of organizing anything. Time is short.
They won’t cheat like they did 2020 they are more callous they intent to break the conservative resistance As someone has already commented here it’s gonna get downright ugly uglier than we ever thought.
They purposefully unleashed a vaccine followed up with boosters designed to kill off tens of thousands nothing is beyond them
The Dems plan to cheat again.
No they clearly are not concerned they have a plan nothings going deter them.
They are pushing to create justification for Marshall Law, perhaps a complete stock market crash etc regardless they will never give up the position of leverage they have acquired
…but it’s not Joe Biden. He has as little impact ot executive powers as Joe Isuzu. It’s 0bama, Rice, Emmanuel, Kerry, Axelrod, insert-name-of-any-0bama-affiliate-here doing this and not caring one whit what we think of *Joe Biden*. I think maybe making the specific caveat is necessary in pointing out a;l of this…crap, even most Dems know Joe is a decrepit dementia-impaired PINO (president in name only)…maybe, just maybe, calling out the real miscreants by name will start waking more up.
Do the vaxx requirements apply to people wasing into the US thru the Rio Grande River?
Maybe if it gets personal for a lot of people they may start to ask “why is it we don’t make anything in this country anymore?” and demand answers and action.
I hope that the push back from the people is so hard that positive change will take place and that we will not tolerate anything less than America First, America Foremost.
I can dream.
There are in fact very few things manufactured on this planet that cannot be sourced thru materials within our own borders, even more so if we include Mexico and Canada. Everything we globally trade is a gift to other economies.
I guess if the drivers, who perform important jobs requiring demonstrated competence and skill, would NOT have to respond to “ver are your papers?” if they simply said “yo, gringo, I’m an illegal alien; I don’t need no stinkin’ papers!”
We have exited the Twilight Zone and entered the Bizarro Biden Zone. Hope y’all have a nice stay.
Sounds like Mr. Mayorkas can’t get his story straight.
It’s all about safety don’tchaknow?

So, legitimate peeps need a chemical proof. The illegals can roam free. Love it. What a wonderful world.
Show me your papers please.
Now where have we heard this before..
I work in the food industry, our menus and prices constantly change. This is not a industry ‘norm’, this is because of product availability, and shortages meeting demand… everyone pays the higher price when you have a business.. or family to feed. The real price gouging I believe, is in the sales tax. When inflation drives prices higher… who benefits the most?? Uncle Sam.. and everything is taxed, and now costs more. Do you think The Fed or Biden mind this ‘happy side benefit?’…. nope they love getting our money because of ‘inflation ‘ it pays for all their social programs.
What an excellent, overlooked, aspect.
Adding salt to our wounds in “red” Idaho: the state has a couple billion dollar surplus, so once again, a bill has been introduced to a veto proof House to eliminate the food tax. It would make sense more than ever to eliminate this tax with food prices going up, no?
You would think our Republican Governor, our veto proof Republican House and Senate would be falling all over themselves to pass this bill, in an election year no less.
You would be wrong.
Our House Majority Schlub–who happens to be running for Lt. Gov has told a compliant Republican Chairman to not even schedule a hearing on the bill. All R’ s are on record supporting elimination of the food tax, but few will.
Where have wee seen such selling out of the base before? Ex: If elected, I’ll move the US Embassy to Jerusalem; we’ll repeal Obama care as first order of business;
We are deep in RINO “leadership” in too many red states
Tax revenue is up 31% already this quarter
….and the Border is wide open……
Or is their equivalent of keeping ships offshore out of sight. Try and get public to blame evil selfish truckers for not getting a simple shot……
Can we now start using the California approach to shopping….just walk in to stores, take what you want from the shelves, and simply walk out without paying? How far away are we from that, really?
I reckon its 5 days away. The cities will burn first.
Might be best to stick with the $900-something cut-off point, because that’s an established precedent. Go over the pre-approved limit and you’ll have “no standing” if arrested.
/sarc intended
And I guess when a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a dozen eggs cost $901, then we’re all out of luck….
Don’t think that with Trillion$$$ at stake, the DS is going to let a measly Mid-Term election stop them? Don’t think so. The alternative is _______ !!!!
So, an illegal alien can cross the border, but a truck drivers needs to have taken at least 3 jabs of the experimental vaccines.
Sounds about par for the course
But only a Mexican or Canadian driver. Us drivers exempted?
ALL truck drivers, including Americans.
Just finished final Defensive Shopping; from here on out it will be an experience in movements by the Grace of God until we come out onto the other side of this tunnel.
Thank you so very, very much for these heads-ups. Not easy on a set income but, where there’s a will, there does seem to be a way.
May each one here be blessed with the abundance of supply that is needed as needed.
Has anyone even died of Omicron yet? This is intentional destruction of economies. The “mask” is off. Biden & Trudeau should be arrested.
Biden just created another lucrative market for the Narco Cartel Drug Smuggling Families.
In other words 44+46=0 (plus the going rate of inflation).
Already lumber is climbing back up in my area (Northern Vt.)
