Don't be fooled again (Jan 6).

As many as 1,000 truckers are expected to gather in California on Wednesday to embark on an 11-day trek to Washington DC in an effort to protest what they claim are unconstitutional COVID-19 mandates.

It has called on the federal government to end the National Emergency enacted at the start of the pandemic, arguing that the threat posed by the virus has now receded.
***
People's Convoy organizers claim they do not intend to disrupt roads or bridges, like the Canadian protest did.

However, some semi-truck drivers are already calling for widespread blockades, including Bob Bolos who on Monday vowed the Beltway and other roads in and out of DC will be shut down.
The convoy is expected to arrive in DC in early March which some experts allege could disrupt traffic around the Capitol ahead of President Joe Biden's State of the Union address. Others have expressed concern that the convoy could result in a recreation of the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
The Pentagon is expected to approve the deployment of 700 to 800 unarmed National Guard troops to the nation's capital, a U.S. official said Tuesday, in face of trucker convoys.
The Metropolitan Police Department of DC has added 500 officers to its deployment each day in early March and the fencing that surrounded the Capitol complex for much of 2021 will be reinstalled next week. *** As a preemptive measure, Capitol Police has scheduled officers on 12-hour shifts, with plans to reinstall the fencing that surrounded the Capitol complex last year. Democrats, mainly Pelosi, insisted the fencing was a needed precaution following the January 6 riot.
The Pentagon is reportedly considering sending the National Guard to the capital ***

When you think you are a knight but are actually just a pawn…
Agreed. Everyone should stay away and disclaim.
Civil forfeiture.
Cash cow for the Feds. Used truck market is hot, hot, hot…
Still think you can control them? (Tomorrow Belongs to Me…)
TSA/DHS/DOT may intercede and do random stops and “safety checks” long before they get close. Sorry Mr/Ms Trucker. Safety issue. You will need to park you truck until it’s fixed and we can get back around to re-inspect.
Better be careful. Nancy is “worried” and “watching”.
Don't be fooled again (Jan 6).

Used truck market made even hotter by the announcement the other day from Little Red Lying Hood, programs to get more women into trucking. That will take care of any future convoys.
I would guess our truckers will be armed.
Let them truckers roll
10/4
So what do you propose?
You say no one should ever protest because the fbi will infiltrate?..so we have not right because we can not use our right because if we do we get framed? Right
I’m so confused on the purpose here. The strategy is baffling. Not only is this group telling everyone when and where they will be, they are saying they will limit disruption. And then, that this thing will only last for two days in D.C.
Ok, so when the feds definitely do not give in to the truckers demands after two days, what was accomplished? You guys are telling your enemy your entire battle plan, and with a time limit?
Your going to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel, and the media will put nazi flags on the TV. They’ll probably CGI nazi flags on your trucks for the viewers at home! A strike is a better plan, and it doesn’t need to be presented to the government, it just happens and then the feds actually have to deal with it, and yes the general population will feel the pain. This actually pressures the government.
New CDLs require certification from Drivers Training schools who just raised their tuition.
Unless you’re self insured you can’t use a driver under 23 with a cdl.
Exactly, Travis. This will be great theater for the Democrats and the media. January 6th, redux.
Except I don’t see any great outcry against the extension of a National Emergency, which basically messes with insurance enrollment dates and allows the feds to spend more money ? Who is going to support a massive blockade or shutdown of roads to
die on that hill ?
Sure everyone just stay away, don’t get involved, wait for the mid-terms, the truckers will be infiltrated by the FBI, the REPUBLICANS will save us.
*wait for the midterms, so they can fix the results again
*don’t get involved, you could lose your FREEDOM
*the truckers will be infiltrated, so you can go to jail with the J6 patriots
*the REPUBLICANS will save us, HAHAHAHAHA
*instead of a truck take the Feds cattle cars, that will be safer
I would certainly say, don’t waste your time with this “protest” crap. If you’re upset, take action. Quit. Strike. Be prepared for it all to come apart, because it is. In fact, make it happen. Right now you’re just feeding the people who are happy when your children are raped in their so-called “schools”.
This “protest” garbage is worthless without a “Press” who will carry your message. Burning, looting black racists - AOK to the “press”. People who don’t want forced injections - Nazis.
Find a better way to accomplish something that admits the reality of America’s political “press”.
i hope they limit disruption- i live around here and have to take my husband to the doctor all week. I don’t need to sit in traffic for 2 hours, thanks.
CA to DC is not trivial expensewise. Any guesses as to fuel costs for a rig?
I’m surprised there are no sanctuary cities from vaxxed.
Isn’t that how dim/RINOs openly got around the FEDERAL LAW?
Yeah, I’m questioning the wisdom of this US convoy.
The pendulum is already swinging against mandates.
The “National Emergency” is more about funding and preparedness for coming variants than mandates. So I’m not sure what cancelling the National emergency buys us if anything.
And Biden may well use this as an opportunity to crack down and test out police state powers.
Instead of a convoy, we need to be reviewing the emergency powers in our own laws, and making sure that Biden can use them the way Trudeau has.
