Truckers could cut their fuel costs in half, and you could see cheaper groceries. Yet, why are so many fleets still saying no?buzzsprout.com/2602482/episo…

The election’s over, and suddenly gas is under four bucks a gallon. Coincidence? buzzsprout.com/2602482/episo…

The American Civil Liberties Union apparently reads America’s founding documents very differently than the rest of us.
koin.com/news/washington/acl…
We know from the Declaration that government “derives its just powers from the consent of the governed”.
Well, a week ago voters in Washington state sent a powerful message banning boys who think they’re girls…known by the woke folks as “trans”...from unfair competition against actual girls.
Voters approved that by a 12-percentage-point margin…56 to 44. 4 other American states also put up protection for girls.
Now, the ACLU plans a lawsuit joined by the state teachers’ union and Seattle school board to overturn the will of voters.
So we’re told the American Crooks and Lawyers Union is defending civil liberties by denying voters the right to make or change the laws of Washington, as the state Constitution guarantees?
And what about protecting the Civil Liberties of teenage girls to preserve their privacy in the locker room? I don’t think confronting them with the nude body of a gender confused boy is very civil at all.
The powers that be brag big time about the new leader they’ve hired for the multi-billion-dollar boondoggle Interstate Bridge replacement.
kxl.com/interstate-bridge-re…
That project has big problems already, having exploded in cost from about 5 billion to more than 15 billion. Oregon and Washington have not the first clue how to pay that bill, but they’re forging ahead anyway: damn the torpedoes.
They call Ron Paananen a “megaproject veteran,” and he starts the job in about 3 weeks.
Well, I suppose.
Paananen led the HWY 99 tunnel in Seattle. Remember that disaster
The Big Bertha digging machine got stuck and broken underground just ten percent of the way into the job. Work stalled for two years and there were hundreds of millions of dollars in overruns.
Ron Paananen was part of the leadership for the floating Bridge that ran 420 million dollars over due to design flaws and cracked pontoons
Portage Bay Bridge was another megaproject Paananen worked on…and it only doubled in cost.
Sounds like he makes a perfect fit for the IBR Boondoggle bridge that seems unlikely to ever get built and with a price tag that only grows.
Will the Senior U.S. Senator from NY talk about they money his son made from his association with Epstein?
My Epstein investigation revealed that Jeffrey Epstein used proceeds from so-called “tax planning” to fund his sex crimes.
That money flowed through Wall Street banks and despite numerous warning signs, bankers looked the other way.
As Chairman of the Finance Committee, I'll use every tool to get answers.

California voters said yes to the death penalty. Twice. Gavin Newsom just wiped it out for more than 500 killers anyway. Should one governor get to overrule the people? buzzsprout.com/2602482/episo…
Run from the cops, kill four people, and Florida’s minimum is three years. Is that still too little?

TriMet’s WES train costs taxpayers $95 per trip. Only 400 people ride it daily. Time to shut it down. larslarson.com/shut-down-thi…
I was thinking Johnston Atoll...but that shows what I know!
It’s Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
A stunning, horseshoe-shaped coral atoll in the remote central Indian Ocean. It’s a tropical paradise in the absolute middle of nowhere. 10,000 miles from the west coast.
For the military crews stationed there… both a secure operational outpost and a laid-back tropical life. For visiting crews (me), it was a party! Beach barbecues, fishing trips, snorkeling on the reefs, and casual hangouts at the marina unwinding with fresh-caught seafood, cold drinks, and war stories under the stars. Watch out for the sand crabs. They’ll eat you. 🤣
