President Donald Trump will deliver a speech during his visit to the Mack Trucks manufacturing plant in Lower Macungie Township. The event is scheduled for 2:00pm ET with livestream links below.

BREAKING: Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson just BLOCKED the Trump admin from restricting SNAP benefits use for soda and candy

How about she get force fed a few liters of Pepsi, some skittles, and Doritos? Every day. 3 times a day. For 15 years?
I support this
<U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson just BLOCKED the Trump admin
from restricting SNAP benefits use for soda…>
She just did it for sprite 🙂
Ignore her and mock her.
Circus clown 🤡
She must be high on Coke……..
stellar
Dentists love this…
According to the health industry, the big medical industrial complex, ‘teeth are a luxury’.
Guess what! A “US District Judge” has no power to dictate what foods the US Government does, or does not, subsidize.
They don’t care what the laws are or what their job description is.
Why aren’t they removed, never to have that position again???
Remember Alcee Hastings? He was impeached/removed from a Federal Judgeship, then elected to Congress from Florida. Democrats/liberals/commies have more than nine lives.
Hope this is correct….any citations? If so, then what in the world made her think she could rule on this?
So an activist judge runs SNAP now.
pretty much like everything else…
Travel safe, Sundance.
Help great things to happen.
Praying for safe travels Sundance.
We’ll be watching our brave President.🙏❤️🦅🇺🇸
Well, I prefer a Kenworth (hauling logs)…but if Mack it is…
I prefer a Mack haulin’ hogs…..
Congress-swines, that is….
Smokey and the Bandit….Snowman even drove a Kenworth…ok,
will see myself out…we go 10-7
On TCM soon…one of my favorites…
Mack owned by Volvo should bring back more work from Mexico – jobs went there from the other plant near Allentown and some went to NC plant , but ultimately Mexico
Maybe usmca ending will be the change announcement
Kenworth is an over-the-road long-haul truck.
Macks are built for heavy on-site construction service. You’ll rarely see one running a long haul.

My grandfather drove a Mack. 🙂
I believe that UPS trucks are all Mack, copywrited to UPS right down to the brown paint.
Grew Up dodging MACK B67T Dumps and Tractor / Gravel Mules in the 60’s the Regional Dominate Hauler Drove those out of St Joe MI
The Concrete Haulers were ALL OSHKOSH W-series with Conventional Noses and AWD
AH, the DAYS of BIG IRON and BIG MUSCLE CARS
Allentown, Pa
USA
Born and raised in the city, my parents met while both were working at Western Electric in the early 1960s. Maternal grandfather was a machinist at Bethlehem Steel. I stayed in the Lehigh Valley but I haven’t resided in Allentown proper in 35 years.
Not meaning to be rude, please don’t take it that way…my mention of the movie trucks and the ones below, are the extent of my knowledge…
Back in my east coast horsey days…we used International Harvester and a Jimmie…
Cornbinders
Well, it used to be that, if you had anything negative to say about “American manufacturing,” we’d just manufacture (from scratch …) another heavy bomber every hour and then … well, you know what happens next. 🤡
Mack trucks use to be an amazing semi for decades until Volvo took it over and now they are disposable garbage.
Remember the long life fire apparatus lines. Many are still running today
Trump takes questions from reporters in PA ahead of Mack Truck economy remarks
(6:57 mins)
the White House’s youtube channel just came online for the upcoming live event:
Safe travels Sundance be well
Does the general public understand the strength, energy, and dedication required of President Trump to deliver his frequent and powerful messages at so many significant events? We had the embarrassment of Sleepy Joe for a term, and the lack of dedication and knowledge from barack hussein. We are fortunate to have President Trump back in the White House, and we need him for another term starting in 2028.
“Does the general public understand the strength, energy, and dedication required of President Trump to deliver his frequent and powerful messages at so many significant events? ”
Amazing, and just a ‘portion’ of the many works he accomplishes in 24 hr. days.
Please tell me there’ll be awesome pics of him behind the wheel of a Mack truck! … a la the garbage truck pix!
NRA Pres there and POTUS does audience poll on reciprocity. Didn’t the senate have ability to pass national reciprocity in Trump’s 1st term but they didn’t?
LOL President Trump’s talking about reducing drug prices and he said, “who’s taking the fat drug”😂😂😂
praising Clean, Beautiful, Coal

Holy crap!
That’s a stone’s throw away from me!
I live in Upper Macungie.
Robin, your area has the most beautiful old stone barns and houses. Love them
The UAE is fast-tracking a new 1.8 million bpd West-East crude pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, with operations slated to begin in 2027.
Directed by Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the project aims to double the nation’s export capacity along the Gulf of Oman.
Key Project Details Operator: Abu Dhabi National Oil Co
.
Route: Extends from Habshan in the UAE’s interior to the strategic port of Fujairah.
Capacity: Once completed, the new pipeline is expected to double the existing 1.8 million barrel-per-day capacity, raising the total strait-free export capability.
Project Status: The initiative is roughly 50% complete and is being heavily expedited as regional conflict constricts Hormuz shipping.
Strategic Significance Export Security: The expansion allows the UAE to maintain and scale its crude exports even if the Strait of Hormuz remains restricted or closed. Multi-Fuel Capability: Alongside crude oil, the UAE is developing parallel multi-fuel infrastructure capable of pumping refined products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Here’s the current status of shipping through the strait. Red arrows are oil carriers. Some have a draught/draft of 21 meters! That’s a bunch of oil.
Current status..

Looks like about 65 miles or less. Then to build port facilities, that will take some time. Put a TrumpCo in charge of construction along with the local government….and watch it be built quickly.
I was wrong…..cut that estimate in at least half, down to 28 miles if the shortest route through some hills is considered. 24″ line, several of them in parallel for crude and refined products simultaneously. Sixty welds per mile…. and using a positioner for most of them, easy stuff. The end pieces are the hard stuff, and the dockage considerations and room for the tugs and pumps.
The port facilities are already in Fujairah and servicing one existing oil pipeline carrying 1.8 million bpd. 😎
Folks here might find this interesting. My grandfather was retired from Mack trucks as a mechanic. His first task when he started as the new guy was to get the snakes out the engines for the seasoned mechanics. I remember a lot of bulldog ashtrays around the house.
Those were cool. I knew someone who had one. Bulldog ashtray
Thank you for your opinion. Cut it off boys. lol
President Trump doesn’t stop. And he is in such a happy mood loaded in energy. Amazing!
TLDR Warning
I am a Retired Broken Down Old Used Truck Salesman, me, not the trucks.
Freightliners were the most common, followed by International, then Peterbilt and Kenworth tied for third, Macks were rare.
Forget the engine, trans., and rears, those are mostly bulletproof.
Freighter always had busted pieces of plastic and trim, whereas the others were not real bad about that sort of stuff.
Engines, back when I started, were Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel (Caterpillar pulled out of the American market because of the utter Stupidity of the EPA). At 100k miles, I mostly sold 1/4 million to 1/2 million or so miles, those three engines always needed to have a mechanic; Run the Rack (adjust the valves) and that would snap the horsepower and torque back up where they would run much better. (Horsepower will get you there, Torque will keep you there)
However, a Mack engine only needed the Rack Run at about 3/4 million miles, and even then most people would not notice the difference.
One more thing about Mack trucks; almost every Mack on the road has a Silver Dog on the hood. In all those years, and all of those trucks that I sold, I only sold one (1) Gold Dog Mack.
A Silver Dog can have a Cat, Cummins, Detroit, or a Mack engine, an Eaton , Rockwell, or Mack transmission, a set of Eaton rear ends or Mack rears, and an Eaton air ride, Rayco, or Hendrickson suspension.
Only a Gold Dog Mack has a Mack engine, a Mack Transmission, Mack rear ends, and either Rayco spring suspension or a Hendrickson Walking Bean spring suspension.
I loved helping business people with their transportation needs. I have met some of the most fascinating men and a few women.
Macungie! Love that area
My skungie! That is in my neck of the woods.
