Free Republic

The devastation to our nation caused by election thief Biden may never be known.

The border jumper stats give us an inkling of the depths to which birdbrain Biden stooped to get
votes for wild-eyed desperate Democrats, now rated as one of Biden’s biggest flops, by all accounts.

Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road

On April 28, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order while still in office that directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) to enforce existing English-language proficiency requirements for Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders. In August 2025, the DOT announced it would withhold federal funding from states that fail to comply with the order.

Key points of Trump’s policy on CDL licenses include:
English proficiency enforcement: The order rescinded 2016 guidance that had relaxed the enforcement of English proficiency requirements for commercial vehicle drivers. New guidelines require drivers who fail to demonstrate sufficient English communication skills during a roadside inspection to be immediately placed “out-of-service”. This was put into effect on June 25, 2025.

Response to a fatal crash: This action followed a fatal accident in Florida, in which a trucker who allegedly could not speak English was involved.

Tighter scrutiny of licenses: The executive order also mandated a review of how states, particularly California, Washington, and New Mexico, issue non-domiciled and potentially fraudulent CDLs.

Impact on the trucking industry: This policy shift has forced trucking companies to adjust their hiring and training protocols, especially for non-native English-speaking drivers.

Pro-trucker initiatives: In June 2025, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced a broader “pro-trucker package” that, in addition to the enforcement measures, includes funding for expanding truck parking, reducing regulatory red tape, and launching pilot programs for flexible sleeper berth options.

Legal concerns: The order has prompted questions about its potential impact on existing employment laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), particularly concerning non-discrimination based on national origin.

FYI——Jon Ossoff ran twice for federal office before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2020: once for Congress in 2017 and again for Senate in 2020.

In 2017, Ossoff ran in a special election for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District to fill the seat vacated by Tom Price. Ossoff was ultimately defeated in the runoff election by Republican Karen Handel.

Ossoff’s second campaign was for the U.S. Senate in 2020. In the initial election in November, no candidate received a majority of the vote. This led to a runoff election in January 2021, where Ossoff defeated incumbent Republican David Perdue. This victory officially marked his first successful run for elected office........his election gave Democrats control of the Senate.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk———which investigators are probing as a politically motivated attack————dozens of House Republicans called for the formation of a select committee on “The money, influence, and power behind the radical Left’s assault on America and the rule of law.”

President Trump also announced he is designating Antifa a “major terrorist organization,”
calling the far-left group a “sick, dangerous, radical Left disaster”
and urging investigations into its financial backers.
