Superhighways for supertrucks!

"I use 35 up here in MN everyday.

I'd appreciate a few more lanes.

Lets roll!!!!!!!!"


Unfortunately, for you, you won't be able to use them. This highway will be only used my Mexican trucks carrying containers from, oh say China, and obeying Mexican laws.

No, (or few) Americans need apply.

[Erik Latranyi]

This highway will be only used my Mexican trucks.....

That is the only thing that might kill this (if it is true).

Oh, I'm aware that she has delusions of grandeur. She must lobby satan in her sleep to be higher up the food chain.

And, the puppet masters would be a little bit dumber than they are to actually put her in power. But, they are dumb in some serious areas. They are dumb enough to think of themselves as the smartest creatures around.

She could still end up in power. Stranger things have happened. We need to pray and work against it.

If you look at the map, freight can be offloaded in Texas.

The ports are in Mexico for several reasons: 1)Texas does not border the Pacific. 2) It is a lot more easy to build in Mexico than Texas. 3) It bypasses the unions. 4) It provides jobs for Mexicans. 5)It probably takes less time to ship from China to Mexico by ship, offload to trucks or trains, and ship to Texas, than go through the Panama Canal and offload in Texas.

I am quite sure God Almighty will protect the lands given to the Israelites per His promise. Without anyone's help. It may not always seem like a 'win' at the moment, but God's ways are not our ways. Wouldn't you agree

True. But God seems to have a hobby, passion, habit for cliffhangers and for making things exceedingly beyond impossible before He steps in and shows His grandeur and power.

So, many twists and turns can occur before the blood is as high as a horse's bridal.

And woe to anyone foolish enough to be complicit against God's Blood children of His promise to His buddies Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Supposedly there are maglev tube trains already running for the elite deep underground . . . at least between many US centers of power but some claim even globally.

hahahah...please...please, you need to work in the government, even just for a few months. I guarantee you you'll toss aside your conspiracy theories once you see them in action. The government is not capable of faking moon landings, and certainly not establishing super-secret underground maglev trains haha.

[AmishDude]

"Power"? You think that those petty little bureaucratic offices are power? You're funny.

[rahbert]

Leif Ericson Park?

[NathanR]

Remember how NAFTA was supposed to provide jobs for Mexican truckers driving in the US? Remember the stink over this? This is making an end-run so Mexicans won't share the road with us citizens.

[rahbert]

Thats what I35 Denton - Ft Worth is right now...

[wallcrawlr]

Will they be the only ones paying for it?
:)

if so then they better keep the ditches cut and properly weeded too...that shouldnt be a problem

[devane617]

The TTC is a big topic here in Texas. I hear the arguments from the WallMartians that WalMart is good for the economy because they sell cheap goods. So, I would assume that the WalMartians would equally support this road because it will further help WMT sell cheap goods.

[catholicfreeper]

I have kept myself informed. This debate is very much a replay of all the NAFTA discussions.

If you look at the map, freight can be offloaded in Texas.

It'a all just more duplicatation of government boondoggles. Have one "smart port" at the first entry into the USA and the you don't need the rest of them, do you?

[Ben Ficklin]

In case you didn't comprehend it the first time, I'll say it again: The pacific ports can't handle the future traffic.

As for the Texas republican party, they can pay for their ride and I can pay for mine. If they don't want to pay the toll, they can stay off the road.

[MineralMan]

"Leif Ericson Park?"

Yah, sure, you betcha!

[MineralMan]

"And if the Texans heard you make your silly argument, I suspect you would be making your points swinging from the tight end of a good sturdy Texas rope."

Poppycock! They'd just talk about it endlessly.

[NathanR]

Don't know. I do know that it will be MEXICAN customs, that will be looking at them in Kansas City.
