HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.

The amount of utter rubbish propaganda on this platform is staggering. Those aren’t Israeli police. That’s not their uniform. No Hebrew appears on either the uniforms or the police car. The badges and insignia are not Israeli in any way.
But they are the uniforms and police cars of the Palestinian civil police force. Those uniforms and cars have the word “Police” in both English and Arabic as seen in this video.
This incident had absolutely nothing to do with Israel or the Israeli police force.

@Hillarymhagen went on a rant today; and it's worth reading....
I sat down to write a recruiting ad and instead wrote a rant. I deleted it, rewrote it, deleted it again, and here we are. Apparently I've got something to say.
STOP BLAMING DRIVERS FOR LEAVING JOBS THAT NEVER EXISTED.
Trucking loves to complain about drivers jumping from company to company. Heck, I used to see it as a red flag on applications. But over the years I've realized job jumping is the SYMPTOM.
Here's my hot take:
TRUCKING DOESN'T HAVE A DRIVER LOYALTY PROBLEM. IT HAS A BROKEN PROMISE PROBLEM.
Drivers aren't changing companies because they love orientation videos and drug tests. They're leaving because what they were sold and what they got were two different things. Then they're blamed for walking away.
Companies keep peddling recruiting fairy tales, leaving drivers to figure out which promises are worth believing.
At Hell Bent Xpress, I believe loyalty starts before the first load. It starts with telling the truth.
NO BAIT. NO SWITCH. NO RECRUITING FAIRY TALES.
Trucking isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Freight changes. Some weeks are better than others. Plans go sideways. Experienced drivers know that.
We're not perfect, and we won't tell you whatever you want to hear just to get your ass in a truck. We'll tell you what you can realistically expect and let YOU decide if we're right for you.
KEEPING DRIVERS SHOULDN'T START WITH BIGGER PROMISES. IT SHOULD START WITH KEEPING THE ONES YOU MAKE.
And drivers? You deserve honest answers, but you've got to ask tough questions, too. Ask about the bad weeks. Ask what happens when plans fall apart. Don't let anyone sell you a dream without asking what happens when reality shows up.
If you're considering Hell Bent Xpress, ask us those same questions.
I'D RATHER HAVE AN EMPTY SEAT THAN FILL IT WITH A BROKEN PROMISE.
Ready for a different recruiting conversation? Call me directly at 605-982-0284.
End rant.

Hillary Clinton wants to lecture America about dignity.
On Oct. 9 she called the public execution of Nidal Hasan, the jihadist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood while yelling "Allahu Akbar," a "barbaric idea, beneath our dignity as a country."
Then she turned off her replies. Of course.
Smart move, because the receipts are long:
🧾 Gaddafi. When Gaddafi was dragged from a drain pipe and killed by a mob in 2011, she laughed on camera: "We came, we saw, he died."
🧾 Benghazi. Four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Requests for more security went to her State Department and were turned down. Her answer to Congress: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
🧾 The server. She ran official business on a private email server in her basement. About 33,000 emails were deleted, the server was scrubbed with BleachBit, and the FBI says some devices were smashed with a hammer. The FBI director called her "extremely careless." Asked if she wiped the server: "What, like with a cloth?"
🧾 Uranium One. Her State Department was one of the agencies that signed off on Russia's state nuclear company taking control of about 20% of America's uranium production capacity. Meanwhile, millions flowed to the Clinton Foundation from people tied to the deal, and Bill got $500,000 for one speech in Moscow.
🧾 Haiti. After the 2010 earthquake, Bill co-chaired the recovery commission and billions were pledged. The promised jobs and homes largely never came. Haitians protested outside the Clinton Foundation. And her brother Tony Rodham somehow landed a rare gold mining permit in Haiti.
🧾 The Foundation. Foreign governments gave millions to the Clinton Foundation while she was Secretary of State.
🧾 The plea deal. In 1975 she defended a man accused of the SA of a 12-year-old girl. She challenged the child's credibility in court filings, got him a plea deal, and was later recorded laughing about the case.
🧾 Bill's accusers. When women came forward about Bill, she stood at the center of the effort to discredit them. Her own friend's private papers quote her calling Monica Lewinsky a "narcissistic loony toon."
🧾 Steel dossier. Her campaign and the DNC paid for the Steele dossier through their law firm, then got fined by the FEC for hiding it in their reports.
🧾 Deplorables. She called half of Trump's voters a "basket of deplorables."
🧾 Trading. And way back when, she turned $1,000 into nearly $100,000 trading cattle futures in under a year. Must be nice.
That's the moral authority telling you a firing squad for a mass-murdering terrorist is beneath us.
No, Killary. You don't get to talk about dignity.

NEW BORN INFANTS CAN BE TERMINATED (INFANTICIDE) AFTER A LIVE BIRTH IN MINNESOTA
MN Governor Tim Walz signing to REPEAL the Minnesota “Born Alive Infants Protection Act.”
Now a botched abortion (an infant born alive after a botched abortion) or a healthy new born infant, Can Now Be LEGALLY TERMINATED after a live birth. This is defined as INFANTICIDE. Keeping the new born drugged until it's death is been labled as " COMFORT CARE"
Look how elated the women around Waltz are behaving…

For those that still don’t understand what Benghazi was all about:
🚨So here's the REAL story:
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.
It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!
THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.
Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.
Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.

Cassandra Gaines, transportation attorney and Founder & CEO of Carrier Assure, delivers a sharp critique of C.H. Robinson's legal defense strategy following a fatal multi-vehicle crash. Gaines addresses Robinson's public statement claiming that safety is core to its operations because it records 'only one serious accident claim per 500 million miles.'
Pointing to severe cases—such as fatal crashes involving impaired drivers—Gaines argues that relying on statistical averages and surface-level FMCSA ratings fails to defend a broker when evidence reveals a systemic breakdown in carrier-vetting protocols.
