What happens if you subtract the fake economy which is paid for by our taxes. All the warmongering profits, the gas subsidies, farm subsidies and everything else paid by the government. Then the economy is in the toilet. All those profits are theft from the poor, to make the rich richer. Pretty disgusting way to make money, but that is what the rich have been doing forever.

yup. our economy is a shell game. the pea is not under the shells at all unless you are rich...then there are peas under all 3 shells.

Small Business in Transportation Coalition Warns Federal State & Local Government: "We are headed toward a Supply Chain Crisis that will entail significant hardships for the American People if we stay the current course."

Trucker Lives Matter!

"When it comes to Political WarGames like these, the only winning move is not to play." SBTC Executive Director James Lamb www.truckers.com
WASHINGTON (PRWEB) December 17, 2019
The Executive Director of the Small Business in Transportation Coalition (SBTC) operating as "Truckers.com" issued a warning today that various political actions at Federal and state levels may quickly escalate into a supply chain crisis for Americans.
"We are currently watching three issues that may result in a major national supply chain crisis for Americans," SBTC Executive Director James Lamb said today.
IMPEACHMENT
"As the House of Representatives is expected to vote to impeach the President tomorrow, this could very well set off a chain of events that could result in nationwide riots that will impede truckers' ability to make deliveries of products for Americans' consumption," Lamb said. "While there is sure to be a backlash by the President's supporters after the Democrat-controlled House presumably votes to impeach, we are more concerned about probable violent reactions of the Left when the Republican-controlled Senate expectedly votes to acquit," he added. "We should expect to hear chants of "No justice, No peace," and see pictures of overturned cars on fire," Lamb predicted.
GUNFIGHT AT THE CULPEPER CORRAL.
"We are very concerned that the current gun control versus gun rights controversy may quickly escalate into armed conflict reminiscent of the Civil War as the Democrat Governor threatens to send in the National Guard to enforce new Democrat-pushed gun laws and county governments are declaring their municipalities as 'Second Amendment Sanctuaries,'" Lamb stated. "Most concerning is the possible showdown in Culpeper, Virginia, in which the Sheriff is gearing up for armed conflict by preparing to 'deputize' residents to form a 'militia' to thwart the state's enforcement of new laws slated for January 2020," he added. Lamb says his trade group will be monitoring this situation and the result may be a warning for truckers to steer clear of the "war zone." If a large scale conflict ensues, Lamb says he is concerned about typical war time tactics of disrupting the other side's supply chain and his group will be warning through its 25,000 member "Trucker Lives Matter" Facebook group and other social media to avoid delivering to the state to protect truckers' lives.
Lamb fears the conflict in the one county in Virginia could escalate and spiral out of control.
ELECTRONIC LOGGING DEVICE CAPACITY CRISIS
Lamb says that while all eyes are focused on impeachment and the gun rights controversy in Virginia, most Americans are unaware that today marks the first day of nationwide enforcement of a new regulation that requires all truckers log their hours of service electronically through Electronic Logging Devices ("ELDs"). "Today is the implementation date for "phase two" of a two-phase process to move truckers from paper to electronic logs."
"While small motor carriers and independent truckers were required to make the switch two years ago, today 'hard enforcement' will commence on Drivers employed by larger carriers who were previously grandfathered if they were using a substandard version of electronic logs," Lamb said. Today drivers who have failed to switch from Automatic On-Board Recording Device ("AOBRDs") to ELDs will be placed out-of-service by law enforcement around the country. "This second wave of ELD enforcement will cause significant supply chain disruptions as we head into the Christmas holiday season and the dead of winter," Lamb said. "Americans should expect late holiday deliveries and prepare for disappointment on Christmas morning," he added. "And worse, we predict disruptions in home heating oil deliveries up North, which will cause significant hardships for the American people."
Lamb says his group has been warning Federal officials from the bureaucrats at the United States Department of Transportation ("USDOT") to Congressional committees to the President himself. "Washington is distracted at the moment and our calls for delays, suspension of the ELD rule, and a moratorium on enforcement-- at least until Summer, have fallen upon deaf ears," the frustrated group's Executive Director said. "It would appear they will have to learn this was a mistake the hard way."
Lamb further cites the latest USDOT large truck fatality rates that show rather than save 26 lives per year as USDOT had promised and make truck driving safer for truckers, ELDs have taken us "out of the frying pan and into the fire" with the highest death rate in 30 years. "USDOT does not seem to want to admit that their ELD rule has caused more deaths than it has saved," Lamb asserted. He points to the stats which show 2.4 occupants of large trucks are now getting killed on the road daily. "If only the US Government cared enough to proclaim with us: "TRUCKER LIVES MATTER," he added.
Lamb suggests the three issues, when intertwined, are destined to cause a "Super Supply Chain Crisis" all at about the same time if the players do not quickly stand down. When it comes to winning political war games such as the three currently in play, Lamb says he is reminded of the moral of the 1983 American Cold War science fiction film "WarGames: "The only winning move is not to play."

US Trucking Association Warns Of 'Super Supply Chain Crisis' And A 'War Zone' In America In 2020 With Violent Leftists Rioting In The Streets Over Failed Impeachment & Tyrannical Politics In Virginia

- SBTC Warns: Politicians Will Have To Learn Their Mistake The Hard Way

imageedit_3_6195175387.gif

This story may be one of the most important I've ever written here on ANP.

With things now heating up big time in the state of Virginia with 2nd Amendment sanctuaries dominating the state but the Virginia attorney general saying 2nd Amendment sanctuaries have no force and Guns In The News recently reporting of the possible deployment of UN troops against law-abiding American citizens another sign of the tyranny being unveiled by Democrats across America, a trucking industry trade group is now warning of supply chain disruptions ahead.

According to the Small Business in Transportation Coalition, they have recently issued the following warning to Federal, State & Local governments: "We are headed toward a Supply Chain Crisis that will entail significant hardships for the American People if we stay the current course."

Blaming forthcoming civil unrest from the left due to the failed impeachment coup, a potential 'gunfight at the Culpeper Corral' and the ungodly electronic logging devices that truckers are now mandated to use which Susan Duclos had reported on in this January 13th ANP story, this story over at PR Web which brought us this incredibly important announcement held back no punches.

The Executive Director of the Small Business in Transportation Coalition (SBTC) operating as "Truckers.com" issued a warning today that various political actions at Federal and state levels may quickly escalate into a supply chain crisis for Americans.

"We are currently watching three issues that may result in a major national supply chain crisis for Americans," SBTC Executive Director James Lamb said today.

"We should expect to hear chants of "No justice, No peace," and see pictures of overturned cars on fire," Lamb predicted.

GUNFIGHT AT THE CULPEPER CORRAL

"We are very concerned that the current gun control versus gun rights controversy may quickly escalate into armed conflict reminiscent of the Civil War as the Democrat Governor threatens to send in the National Guard to enforce new Democrat-pushed gun laws and county governments are declaring their municipalities as 'Second Amendment Sanctuaries,'" Lamb stated.

"Most concerning is the possible showdown in Culpeper, Virginia, in which the Sheriff is gearing up for armed conflict by preparing to 'deputize' residents to form a 'militia' to thwart the state's enforcement of new laws slated for January 2020," he added.

Lamb fears the conflict in the one county in Virginia could escalate and spiral out of control.

We'll take a look in the next section below at another huge reason why Lamb believes supply chain disruptions could be ahead with Lamb also warning that politicians in DC and across the nation aren't listening to them with Lamb warning politicians will have to learn they've made major mistakes the hard way.

With all of this happening now, please join us in a prayer for a return of sanity to America in 2020 with the leftists coup attempt and Pravda-style mainstream media driving nearly half the nation insane with widespread 'Trump derangement syndrome' possibly unleashing havoc across the nation when impeachment fails, Trump is re-elected in 2020 for 4 more years and now, the baby-butchering governor of Virginia Ralph Northam (who long ago proved he had no 'moral high ground' when he tried to legalize the barbaric murders of the most innocent Virginia citizens of all) preparing to terrorize law-abiding Virginia citizens to enforce his tyrannical, gun-grabbing agenda.





As Susan Duclos had reported on ANP back on January 13th in this ANP story titled "The Life Force Of America Could Grind To A Halt Within Days: 'Black Smoke Matters' Upcoming Trucker Strike Grows - Shortages Will Materialize Quickly And Could Lead To Civil Unrest", truckers across America were already being hurt terribly due to electronic logging devices being made mandatory and Lamb warns of those as another reason that America should prepare for supply chain disruptions ahead.

With most of the state of Virginia having now been declared a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary as seen in the map above while Virginia Attorney General claims that 2nd Amendment Sanctuary counties 'have no force' as the Washington Post reports in this new story (saved at archive), why does the left think it fine and dandy to declare most of their states/cities 'Sanctuary Cities' for illegal aliens, against federal law, while attempting to neuter and destroy the US Constitution by attempting to destroy the 2nd Amendment and militias?

And anyone who claims there is 'no force backing 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries' in Virginia obviously has no clue that the 2nd Amendment IS a 'force' in its own right, enshrined in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights as a final insurance against tyranny - as heard in the outstanding 3rd video at the bottom of this story.

That's because it is not clear that it was a lie. It could be that you are just using overly simplistic thinking. If you pay for a house, but the bank loaned you the money and you pay the bank back on that loan did you pay for it? Or did the bank? Both? Yes, both. Define 'pay.'

Well, as demonstrated by Steve Mnuchin, the bank payed for it. And, will take it back if/when they deem fit. No matter how many payments you've made, the bank will come in and take it from you if you fall behind. You've essentially paid the bank rent the whole time, because THEY owned it.

Trump Treasury pick made millions after his bank foreclosed on homeowners
Bank with Steven Mnuchin on the board filed to take a 90-year-old woman's house after a 27-cent payment error.


So, what was the point that you were trying to make?

Will the money be made up for with the new trade deal? That is the point. I don't know the answer. Do you?

The question should be, when do you expect to know?

We're paying for it right now. I know that. Can you admit that?

The question is will the money be made up for with the new trade deal. Yes, I can admit that we are paying up front. Although, maybe if the dems wouldn't have stalled on the USMCA, it would have already been paid for by the gains we could have made against mexico. Can you admit that?

That is the question. I agree. And, since we're wondering if the trade deal will pay for it, I'd like to know when you expect to have solid data proving that it has. Because it seems like an open ended promise so far. I'm wondering how many years that'll take. I've heard that it'll take easily, at least a year to begin implementation. It's still not close to ratification. Mexico isn't even on board anymore. So, 3 years? 5 years? After tRump has left office, basically?

I'll admit that anything could have happened and changed the current situation.

But, what does it matter when we are trillions in debt. At least people will be less likely to put themselves and the children they are with in so much danger to try and cross deserts and rivers to enter illegally. I mean, I thought it was a racist country. Why would they want to come? Why would the dems want them to come? Aren't they much better off with a legitimate asylum case in mexico?

Just want to point out that the people harmed by illegal immigration are the most vulnerable and marginalised people in our country and typically will be non-white. I might also be for open immigration if it were worldwide. I can't just move to any country I want and become a legal resident. Why should we have to have the only open border policy?
