American Trucker – by Josh Fisher

SAN DIEGO — More than a quarter of Americans live in a jurisdiction that allows legal marijuana. Weed’s growing popularity in the U.S. is an increasing and complicated concern for the trucking industry.

American Trucking Associations is looking to take the lead in how U.S. businesses adapt to legal weed, noting that there is more to learn about its effects. The ATA Board of Directors created new policies this week that calls for a common-sense approach to liberalizing marijuana laws — in the name of safety. And since every state has different cannabis laws, ATA wants the federal government to change its approach.  Continue reading “Trucking wants to take marijuana head-on”

We’re now witnessing a perfect example of how globalism stifles free speech and freedom here in America, with the National Basketball Association caving to the totalitarian nation of China with the almighty dollar sign looming large in the NBA’s eyes and the Communist nation of China making the league well aware it doesn’t appreciate mere paying US customers having the right to voice their opinions over what’s now happening in Hong Kong.

There’s no two ways about it: The United States of America and its 50 state governments love putting people in prison.

The U.S. has both the highest number of prisoners and the highest per capita incarceration rate in the modern world at 655 adults per 100,000. (It’s worth noting that China’s incarceration statistics are dubious, and they execute far more people than the United States. Indeed, the so-called People’s Republic executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.)  Still, that’s more than 2.2 million Americans in state and federal prisons as well as county jails.  Continue reading “Locked Up: How the Modern Prison-Industrial Complex Puts So Many Americans in Jail”

Humphreys County, TN – Will Ferrell is a mentally challenged young man who was accused of touching a 7-year-old girl’s genitals while jumping on a trampoline.
