Perhaps the mainstream media is starting to wake up. NBC is now reporting that cross-border auto parts and food shipments may start being disrupted as the trucker vaccine mandate begins. Approximately 60 to 75% of all U.S. truckers are not vaccinated. The cross-border vaccine mandate for American truckers begins January 22nd as part of the Dept of Homeland Security protocol.
In October DHS announced:
…”beginning in early January 2022, DHS will require that all inbound foreign national travelers crossing U.S. land or ferry POEs – whether for essential or non-essential reasons – be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination. This approach will provide ample time for essential travelers such as truckers, students, and healthcare workers to get vaccinated.” (link)
The Canadian trucker vaccine mandate began January 15th, the U.S. mandate begins this weekend, January 22nd. Given the scale of out of season fresh fruit and vegetable shipments from South and Central America, as well as Mexico, we can anticipate serious issues in the food supply chain. The NBC article highlights trade with Canada, but that’s miniscule when compared to the trade we get from Mexico.
(Via NBC) – […] The U.S. mandate, announced in October, requires all essential foreign travelers, including truck drivers, who cross U.S. land borders to be fully vaccinated. Essential nonresident travelers had been able to enter the U.S. during the pandemic regardless of their vaccination status, in part so as not to disrupt trade and to give them more time to get vaccinated.
The forthcoming mandate follows one that went into effect in Canada last week that prohibits unvaccinated truckers from crossing into Canada from the U.S.
[…] The border restriction will make the automotive supply chain issue worse, said Doug Betts, president of the global automotive division at J.D. Power, a data and analytics company focused on the auto industry. He noted that auto parts come from all over the world and one obstruction in the chain can significantly slow or stop production.
“By the time you map out the supply chain, it’s just a spider web going everywhere,” he said.
“I would be surprised if there are any (U.S.) cars that don’t have at least one Canadian-based part. Canada is a pretty important part of auto manufacturing,” Betts said. “Any part that doesn’t arrive or if there’s something wrong with it, you can’t build it. There’s more points of failure.”
[…] In Michigan, Brian Hitchcock, owner of MBH Trucking LLC, said he expects his freight transportation company to lose 40 percent in revenue because only five of his 30 drivers are vaccinated, leaving the others ineligible to haul diesel exhaust fuel back and forth from Ontario, Canada, to Michigan.
“And it’s all because we can’t cross the border,” he said. “It’s affecting every sector of what we use in this country.”
Hitchcock, also the interim executive director of the Michigan Trucking Association, said he’s spoken with 15 other trucking companies who have about 400 drivers, 75 percent of whom are unvaccinated. (read more)
One example below.

80 million hundred weight (CWT) is essentially 8 million tons. Article on excess potatoes without shipment HERE.
Good luck moving 8 million tons of potatoes without truck drivers.
It seems to me Mexican Truckers will either get vaccinated or pay the customary bribe to get a fake certificate. In Mexico a bribe gets you a document. On top of this up until fairly recently Mexican Truckers were not even permitted to transport inside of the USA
Can’t they just hide their cargo behind a fake layer of illegal aliens? Then they would just get waived through, right?
Now THATS funny!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂🤣😂
Thanks for the LOL.
🇨🇱
Just hire illegal border crossers to drive the trucks accross and then Biden will put them up in luxury hotels, and illegals need no vaccinations or passports or ID’s or Drivers license!
Bullsh 1t The Mexican truckers can go where they want….laws are for gringo s only
Don’t be surprised if Latin American truckers get an “exemption” because NAFTA! or something. Biden hasn’t received much pushback on illegal immigration in Congress, I doubt he’d get much pushback on exempting Latin American truck drivers either. Especially if he declares “Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!”
Like Xi and communist China, you’ve got to believe AMLO has a direct line to Biden’s “economic advisers” to stop any foolishness that limits Mexico’s trade with the US. Foolishness like vaccine mandates for Mexican truck drivers.
Mexico doesn’t fear Biden or anyone in his administration.
The world don’t fear biden.
Not true. Mexican trucks have been transporting vegetables and other goods for over 10 years. And they are 100% Legal. I have many Mexican friends that are long haul truckers.
I read somewhere else that truckers are only 40-50% unvaccinated. That was such a vague figure as to make me suspect nobody knows and they were making up numbers. Now I’m sure they were making up numbers.
I read that up to 75 percent of truckers remain fully human.
Has anybody explained this to the Idiot In Chief?
The Idiot is not in the need to know loop. Never has been.
I read somewhere his response was “What me worry?”
Nah, that was Barbara Bush’s line. “Why should I waste my beautiful mind on that?”
When asked about the casualties in the Middle East…
Never could stand her…
Department of Homeland Terrorism protocol says the suffering and starvation must be exponential until ALL comply.
They might be able to make some of the cities comply, but, a country boy can survive and so can the country girls, and old ladies too.
Great song reference!
This is a war… if our non-compliance is necessary for us to win, then I’m ready to make whatever sacrifice.
There is an alternative on the southern border: just have the caravans haul the produce in. If they got creative enough, an illegal could drive the truck through the border checkpoint, while the driver joins the caravan. When they make commerce idiot proof, someone has to invent a better idiot.
Thousands crossing our border illegally are not tested or vaccinated, but hundreds of drivers must be? An engineered crisis that can only succeed because of the stupidity of the average citizen.
I thought Canada drop their mandate earlier in the week ?
They rescinded it two days later. It was posted on this site
Thanks, it’s hard to keep on top of everything . I read so many articles in a day and week. I’ve been that way for
Over 2 years now 🙄
No, it’s not you. These idiots deliberately mandate something, then deliberately reverse it days later, then reinstate it. It’s psyop conditioning of the masses.
They did, then they didn’t, then they kinda sorta did.

Head FAKE news, just to jerk everyone it will impact who is watching this garbage get intentionally mishandled on an hourly basis.
Wife no longer asks why we buy extra of everything we use on a regular basis on EVERY store visit. She now understands that on the next trip to the store, what you need will probably be priced higher or no longer be on any shelf in any store.
I stocked up not too long ago. Could always have more . It’s funny because you ask yourself , could I be crazy .
I know people were think I was crazy 1 1/2 years ago saying what was coming . Yet most came true , so now I don’t look to crazy 🤔🤷♂️
When Democrats of mediocre economics understanding see +signs, that’s all good. – – AOC ✔️VERIFIED
Burn baby, burn.
Maybe the reason the MSM is now reporting the reality of the situation is they have pivoted to “you’re all going to starve if everyone doesn’t get the jab” as their new fear porn.
Could be. I wonder how many – or how few – would fall for that?
If the elites back-down, they will have to do it in a way that saves face. I would expect something along the lines of “It’s all clear, we’re home free. Danger ended.”
Pretty much what Boris Johnson did today.
Declared victory, heading home. Nothing to see here for damages. “Most open economy during the pandemic in all of Europe,” blah, blah, blah.
No mention of the pensioners intentionally murdered in their care home beds using a drug that suppresses respiration.
That’s interesting. The elderly in USA often die of aspiration pneumonia. This doesn’t seem too concerning in the USA.
They often have zero dietary restrictions, such as thickened liquids and puréed food, even when they are admitted with aspiration pneumonia.
And if you can, by some miracle, persuade caregivers to adhere to a soft diet, some nurse will slip them a giant pill, and choke them to death anyway.
It happened to both our dads. This can’t all be chalked up to incompetence, although there is plenty of that going around, as well.
Private jet part shortage will rattle their cage. Really, the private jets ARE their weakness. If push came, that is the infrastructure that needs special attention. They must meet in person, or diabolical plans get eavesdropped upon on phone and internet, and they get outed. They definitely wont fly commercial. Military transport is the other option. In the end, restriction of elite freedom of movement is key to spreading the pain upward. Imagine all attendees at Davis flying commercial.
Do you think any of the global elite still reside in the USA? Sure, they’ll leave a few of their useful idiots behind to take the brunt of the backlash.
Genocide and mass starvation can get pretty dicey.
But I don’t believe the big players are present. They may be long gone. I think we are fighting with their holograms at this point.
Our Government is divisive and relying solely on fear at this point. I strongly believe with more and more evidence coming out about unnatural and sudden deaths and heart issues, the unvaccinated aren’t going to be scared into a jab where they want to seal the results of the trials for 75 years. I for one am no lab rat, nor do I intend to be an experiment for Fauci and Gates pleasure. Et tu Brutus?
I want to warn everyone FedEx Ground has become a completely UNRELIABLE shipper. Do not ship FedEx Ground. They absolutely do not have enough drivers to complete shipment deliveries.
I ordered a $200 item from a Billings, Montana, sporting goods store on January 12th. They originally predicted delivery by Friday, January 14th. FedEx Ground got the package to Troutdale, Oregon, where it sat for several days. The package is now in Burlington, Washington. This location is 25 minutes from where I live. It has been there for a couple of days.
I was told there are multiple large tractor trailers full of packages in their yard there that cannot be delivered for an unknown amount of time. My package is on one of the trailers but is not even among the first two trailers to be unloaded.
At least it’s not on a northbound railroad car out of LA….
Actually, I ordered something from Los Angeles CA on the same day as this shipment was ordered. It came UPS and was delivered yesterday.
Why would UPS have enough drivers but FedEx does not?
Maybe they pay them better wages?
UPS is teamsters,
My UPS driver explained that UPS drivers are employed by UPS and are incentivized to do a good job. Fed Ex, in contrast, hires people to deliver packages on a contract basis. If the contract driver decides that his day is done, he drives your package home and delivers it when he decides to deliver it. Sometimes you get a message that says the driver tried to deliver but no one was at home. I’ve had two instances when a time/temperature item was not delivered as I sat at home waiting for the scheduled delivery. One item had to be returned. Fed Ex was not helpful. Anything that Fed Ex delivers with postal connections could be delivered faster by pony express.
NPR, of all places, did an interview with a WSJ reporter who just published a book on the supply chain, including about truckers. That book actually answered this question.
UPS treats its drivers well. They know their customers, a lot of them have had the same routes for years on years, and a few other things.
My cousin is a career UPS driver. They have to pack their own trucks, they work physically hard hauling out stuff, and do long hours. They are constantly monitored on quantity of packages delivered, safety, routes picked, & time on the road. In return, they are compensated well via their Union.
The only time I hear there are problems is the seasonal push, when corporate brings on ride-along temps, many of whom drop out in a day or two due to workload. The temps don’t have the same dedication, but that’s because they aren’t compensated well. It ends up dumping the extra workload on the full timers, but that’s life.
Had that experience this week. UPS left a “Signature Required” sticker on my mailbox AND called my cell to leave a voice mail. I called him the next morning and he told me his estimated delivery at my home would be. He has done “cooperative delivering” at our home, leaving packages where we ask him to and communicating with his cell phone. We’re on a first name basis. After this week’s performance, I’m seriously considering giving him a $100 bill next time he delivers and tell him how much we appreciate what he does.
UPS-union
FedEx-non-union and vast majority are actually contractors, not employees
Same here. Had a truck broke down in Northwest; parts were guaranteed two day delivery on FedEx Freight, they arrived in 12 days. Total CF.
I’ve had multiple businesses(musical instrument dealers, aftermarket auto parts vendors, veterinarian suppliers, tire resellers, direct food suppliers) ALL tell me they no longer use FedEx as UPS appears to be the only reliable one left standing at this point in time.
That is really hard to believe.if Fed Ex was that bad you would have heard it from everybody during the XMAS rush. If you were that hard up to get the package, I would think you would drive the 25 miles to get it. If their delivery system sucks as bad as you say, their stock price would be plummeting. Do you work for UPS? Or maybe the USPS?
Since you are calling me a liar, I will respond.
Why would I make this up?
The FedEx Ground terminal at Burlington, Washington, has no public access for customers. How would I go fetch my package? Should I climb a fence and start breaking into the trailers looking for my package?
When somebody pays $200 for an item ordered online, why would he be content to not know when it would be delivered?
The entire package shipping industry adopted “tracking” because customers are not content to wonder when something they bought online will be delivered.
I do not work for UPS or the Postal Service and you insult me by accusing me of false information and working for competitors of FedEx Ground.
You should be banned from this site for posting this personal attack against me..
I ordered bare root fruit trees from Georgia. FedEx never sent the usual email notification that my package had shipped.
I was about to leave my house but first needed to go to the back of my vehicle for something. When I raised the garage door and walked to the back of my vehicle, there was a long box with a crushed area and a “This end up” sticker lying on its side. If I had not seen the box, I would have run over it while backing out. When I checked the FedEx website, there was a driver notation “left at front door”. No, it was left at the center of the closed garage door around the corner from the front of my house.
Idiot.
I have spent a lot of time in the Northern portion of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, where much of the produce that the Western US enjoys is grown, including strawberries, tomatoes, green onions, and avocados. I don’t imagine that either Costco, or their customers, are going to be very happy about NOT being able to get all of the foods that we have come to expect. Going to be quite a wake-up call for a lot of folks!
It’s already started. We are in construction. Wood flooring materials that come out of Canada to the US are back-ordered by MONTHS. No one knows when deliveries will come in…..and that is from a major US supplier of flooring products.
Wait till the full import of what these cheeseheads have done becomes a reality.
IMO, it’s the non food items that are a much bigger problem to the average American.
Don’t expect any free china n-95 or china test kits promised by FJB, for someone who doesn’t believe in walls he sure is putting up the wall all over.
Eat your Jim Crow and own nothing, be happy or get cancelled!!!
I may have missed it, but does this include regular citizens too? If someone needs to drive through Canada or take the Ferry from WA to AK? AK citizen here, so I’m not looking forward to the extra hassle this is going to cause AK residents.
Wait until the jelly spined independents and the crowd that only knows who got a rose on the bachelor find out they can’t get a satchel of murder burgers at White Castle.
That’s when the misanthropes running the Great Reset party find out they’ve actually set off the Great Awakening.
The ‘crowd who only knows who got a rose on the bachelor’ will revolt if you remove their Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks coffee.
But they are also the ones who started their own block chains to disengage from the Federal Reserve and IMF. And remember the day they shorted the stock market and made out like bandits?
I wouldn’t be too hard on them. They were hit by this plandemic in the prime of their lives, and they weren’t quite prepared to be genocided.
So they have their distractions, AS WE DO OURS. How about that Super Bowl, huh?
They may watch The Bachelor.. but is FAUX news really any better? I don’t see a difference, to be honest.
Distraction is distraction and denial is denial.
Wait until the jelly spined independents and the crowd that only knows who got a rose on the bachelor find out they can’t get a satchel of burgers at White Castle.

I like the way you think Michael!
Reopen Keystone Pipeline and make it a pneumatic tube to blow all those potatoes into the U.S. The friction will cause them to arrive pre-cooked. Make MacDonald’s Great Again!
I have five months supply of food.
I hope everyone here can say the same.
I learned after not having toilet paper at the beginning of this covid nonsense a few years ago.
So, I got supplies of everything months and months ago. It was prudent, and I’m very glad I did.
I bought 16 pounds of hamburger today. I’m pretty well stocked, but I was running low on hamburger. And then a local chain had it on sale this week. Gonna can it tomorrow.
You’re going to can hamburger?
How? Will you cook it first?
You can can most meats in a pressure cooker. Some turn out better than others. (I wasn’t crazy about the ham I canned, but it was fine for casseroles.) For hamburger, I buy a low fat burger and brown it in a skillet. That gets out more fat (some claim that fat can affect the canning negatively) and it makes it easy to use afterward. Put it in jars and pure water over it, then can in a pressure cooker. Some things, like chicken, are even easier to can because you don’t have to brown them first. (Browning roasts/stew meat chunks is optional. I tend to brown them first because then I can can it in teriyake sauce or French dip sauce. Raw meat is canned dry.) A pint jar holds about 1 pound of hamburger, so it’s easy to calculate how many jars a recipe requires.
Canned meat is a lot of work to prepare but it has two big advantages: no refrigeration required to keep it and most of the work is done up front. If I’m in a hurry some evening, I’ll just open a jar, drain the water off, and dump it in a pan with a jar of spaghetti sauce or taco seasonings. Oh, and if you’ve ever pressure cooked meat, you know that makes it tender too.
That’s good.I cannot say I am that well supplied, (5 months) but I am stocked up.
I’m gonna make another run tomorrow or Friday – with a list this time.
That’s what I should have done earlier – made a thorough list.
Many of you fellow treepers have very much helped in making that list – mentioning stocking up on items that I hadn’t thought about.
Flavorings are big. You can make anything taste better with a little seasoning, condiments, sauces or sweeteners.
And freeze dried veggies can be added to recipes or soups. If it’s about survival, beggars can’t be choosers. Think about the blandest foods like rice and how you can make them taste better.
I have used ice trays to freeze chicken, beef or vegetable stock from cooking. I then seal these cubes in freezer bags to add to my recipes, as well.
What percentage of goods are moved by rail? Is there an impact in that sector ?
Ground report from the hardware stores:
They are raising prices now about twice a week. One item was on sale for a little over $100, to reorder it is now $200. If you are going to need something, grab it now.
People are clearing out the MREs and the kerosene and propane heaters.
Ace Hardware/True Value has Buddy heaters that can run off propane, but both the heaters and the tanks are going fast.
Word is out, among the common people. People are really ramping up their preps.
Much discussion of Revelation.
People need to be sure they have
heated shelter,
potable water, and
food that can be eaten without a lot of preparation,
pretty much in that order.
The Colonial pipeline attack should be borne in mind. Word to the wise.
Keeping a full tank of gas at all times now seems sensible, not crazy.
Tucker Carlson is about to talk about the trucking crisis after the current ads, if anyone wants to watch.
It appears their plan is to starve people into submission and blame it on the dirty, sub-human unvaxed.
Evil and beyond.
Calling tomorrow to get my brakes ordered and on the books. I took the advice of a Treeper and bought some extra oil and a filter. I got the last jug at Wal-Mart and had to pay more at the auto-store for the filter.
Maybe a miracle will happen, keep praying.
I know a miracle will happen in the second coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s what happens inbetween that I’m praying about.
If God’s children are not vigilant they are in for a very rude awakening. Pray, and pray unceasingly.
I am in the trucking industry; own the company. Trucking has been chaotic for a year-and-a-half, rates are super high and very unstable. Our customers actually beg us now to pick up their freight, which sounds great, until it isn’t. Our decline rate is somewhere in the range of 60-70 percent, meaning we accept a mere 30-40 percent of the offers. One customer has six loads from Midwest to the west coast, hasn’t booked a truck on any one of the six loads, twelve days and counting. They send personal emails saying “name your price”, but you can’t because of the lack of drivers. It feels ready to just collapse.
I have a patient who owns four trucks…he had a blown engine in North Carolina last week, $33,000…till he found a friend who could do it for 22,000…the tow truck from North Carolina to Georgia was gonna be over $3000…he found a friend who would do it for 2000…yesterday he came in trying to sell me a truck… I said why, I can’t find any drivers if I did…. he’s like “no, no problem finding drivers”…hmmmmmmmm, wonder why he’s wanting to sell a truck?
They want the crisis. Mandates help them get there.
It’s all part of their plan.
Maybe they want to make the trucking industry turned into another USPS?
Testing helps, too. Testing has to stop.
This sudden push for home Covid test kits is rather puzzling. How can the Powers that Be count (or more accurately miscount) the number of “cases, ” to keep the fear going, when people test anonymously at home and keep the results private?
I’m thinking there is something we don’t want in our noses inside those ‘test’ kits. For Pete’s sake, sheeple, substitute your own test swabs! Don’t put anything they provide you up your nose!
You should use your *own* q-tip and dip it into their solution after you swab. Easy peasy.
Or better yet, toss the whole mess.
Maybe they can run some extra trains and/or train cars. Trains need less drivers than trucks for the same amount of product. Add some cargo ships on the East coast as well.
A hundredweight is a touch over 45 kg’s so I make it just under 4 million metric tonnes
Trucking company employees are no longer mandated per SCOTUS. Last time I checked, truck drivers are not health care workers.
SCOTUS only dealt with OSHA and private sector. Not DHS and federal border security rules.
This mandate stands. It’s a matter of fighting enforcement now.
What about federal buildings, or an airport under federal jurisdiction, that happens to be located in a free state, like Florida?
Which rule would apply? Do state rules take precedence over Federal jurisdiction? If not, do state legislatures, as opposed to a Governor’s Executive Order, make any difference?
I realize that states have power, but I’m not sure where the limits of a state’s power are delineated.
Lack of auto parts is GOOD BUSINESS for the climate change agenda……..
*Forcing* us into mass transportation? Yes, indeed! Why do you think they came up with all these brand-new rail projects?
And all those high-density, UN Agenda 21 ‘workforce’ housing units are ideally located near mass transit hubs.
Yet the southern border is letting in thousands of unvaccinated illegals into this country daily.. Make it make sense!
The illegal slave laborers are our cheaper, more obedient replacements. They want US dead, not them.
Does that make sense?
At the Biddeford,ME Market Basket there was no dog food at all and several aisles of empty shelves. Worst I’ve ever seen.
I sell to lumberyards and they’re all busier than ever but can’t get product. Millwork is many months out. Engineered lumber is weeks out which stops construction. Really bad. I work for Simpson Strong Tie and we have plenty of product and steel but moving it is the problem. Nobody wants to work anymore!
I support the #Truckers! #choice … seems I have heard that word for decades about abortion … Better stock up … if anything is left at your local grocery store … This is the epitome of “insanity” and “control” that will blow up in the DemocRATS … Yep …
NBC sycophants telling the truth? Will wonders never cease! It must be Trump’s fault somehow. (sarc)
All part of Obama’s plan to destroy capitalism and replace it with something “better.”
I am searching for a method to notify these truckers how much the people support them and are grateful for their taking a stand for the nation. Such an empowering idea that the forgotten nobodies who do not even register on the minds of the globalist masters are actually the ones with the power to expose and destroy the evil cabals based on printed money. To destroy the Illusion of the Progressive beast all that is needed is to break the spell they have conjured through their conquer-by-crisis fireworks.
Guess what folks, all of these crises are fake, and could be resolved in a fortnight by honesty and good faith. There is no climate crisis despite this ridiculous lie being promulgated for decades. The “crisis”is the mass formation psychosis they retail incessantly.
We, the people, can change the world, if only we are united in our efforts. This is why the Globalists must squash Christianity next.
Because Christianity/ religion promotes unity and strengthens families, the Globalists have planned to destroy organized religion. The fake pope and assorted clergy members are assisting Globalists in this effort.
optics are important. a potential strategic response/protest would be for manufacturers and truckers on both sides (CANUS/MEXUS) to ignore the mandates and *try* to keep essential goods flowing. let govt resort to threats and violence against them.
don’t give media the optics ammunition that it’s truckers refusing to cooperate (capitulate, comply). “looks, it’s these unvaxxed truckers hurting your children!”
flood social media with videos of willing truckers with truckloads of vital goods going to waste or otherwise stuck at the boarder, unable to cross not because of a virus but because of a mostly-incompetent govt lead by mostly-tyrannical leaders.
80-million CWT equal 4-million tons by every conversion I can find. Not that it makes much difference when you can’t move them.
A complete picture of how you destroy Capitalism and the Countries that have it as their system…..Absolute Communist indoctrination has been the culprit of this….
Remember this is highly intentional… And you don’t hear either party warning about what’s to come.
US trade with Canada is described as ” miniscule compared to what we get from Mexico”. This sentence ignores the importance of exporting goods. The post also lacks the crux of the matter; monetary data to illustrate the magnitude of cross-border trade and bolster the above assertion. Allow me.
As per ustr.gov in 2019,
-US exports to Mexico = 256.6 billion. imports = 358.0 billion.
-US exports to Canada = 360.4 billion. imports = 358.0 billion.
I have had my 2018 Armada in the shop for two weeks. While driving down the road, an ice chunk hit the front of it, and it damaged the radiator. Two weeks, and STILL no new radiator. Part is back ordered while stuck in shipment. Could be mid-February before I can get a radiator for a common four year old vehicle. Thanks alot, Secretary Buttigieg… the worst transportation secretary in U.S. history.
It’s a good thing the illegal human traffic doesn’t have to get vaccinated.
Not sure how this will affect shipping crossing our borders. A lot of what comes across the border in the USA is staged in lots in the USA just inside our border. (This was before Mexican drivers were permitted deeper access inside our borders.) This places most of the burden of imported goods traffic on those from outside our borders bringing freight into these staging areas.
Since 9/11 and probably much worse since COVID border crossings could be very problematic due to customs and security issues. The carrier I drove for had special drivers that handled most border crossing freight in and out of Canada to the staging yards. I’m sure most freight inside the borders of the USA would not we affected by these new restrictions.
This does not mean that additional irrational rules may be forthcoming that could cripple commerce inside the borders of the US. Sanity and reason are under direct attack at multiple levels inside our nation. Those running our government today are either clueless or malicious. Even if you hated Trump, his governance was in every way on every level far superior to what the citizens of our nation are being subjected to today. Only fools have confidence in Biden and that is reality.
After a full year of not being concerned about what comes across the border, now Brandon is stopping semi drivers crossing borders to contain the spread of Omicron. Omicron is already worldwide including Antarctic so this isn’t even a good excuse.
