    The truckers convoy is building up, and they are saying that some Canadian truckers might join in ! Tucker Carlson has just been speaking in Canada and talking about MAGA and American and Canadian liberty; so this has probably also been encouraging the Canadians to get involved with this.
    They probably do not get as many of the Hispanic illegals in canada, but they are probably getting the ones from Africa and some of the mid-eastern countries.

    Wow, that gave me chills of joy!! How I'd love to go with them, but at least I can watch the convoy, I'm sure they'll have some good video going on like in the last one. I'm glad the Canadian truckers are joining too because if Canadians are smart, they'll see that their country is in jeopardy as well from the invasion, and with the numbers, it could easily spread into Canada.

    I'm wondering the routes they'll be taking, I'm hoping to see some take our coastal route so we can be out there cheering them on!! On second thought, I kind of home they don't take the 101 near us because it's already caving in and too much construction. I'm sure they'll see that and go inland to I5 before they hit the bad areas.

    And Chinese. There are parts of Canada where the Chinese outnumber the non-Chinese.

    700,000? I'm having difficulty picturing that. Who is buying fuel for all those vehicles? And does a "convoy" ever actually accomplish anything?

    A conflict like this between federal and state powers sets up a constitutional crisis. Some liberal groups are calling for Biden to come down hard on Texas by federalizing the national guard and with air strikes. :oops: I would laugh at that if we had a president of sound mind.

    There’s an article about it here.

    Whether they accomplish their goals or not, they get me revved up and feeling 100% like I am getting to participate in a protest which makes me happy. I like supporting our truckers as much as I can because I grew up surrounded my truckers. A family who took care of my little brother and I often owned a small trucking company and where I lived the chip-truck drivers would drive by our house from the mill across the street and we loved waving at them and they would always wave and honk for us. Sort of TMI I guess but truckers bring back some happy memories for the little place I grew up in :)

    I wouldn't put anything past the Left Vada, and I mean anything. I think I'll be praying for them all and you know I haven't been praying.

    These types of protests don't do anything to bring about change on their own, but they call attention to the problem in a way that billboards and television advertising doesn't.

    That was an excellent read @Vada Bloom , and I didn't know that part of the bible but just goes to show, God is with the Right, or righteous.

    Yes, and I remember how it got people from everywhere out standing beside the highways and on the overpasses rooting them on :) Some folks are still stuck with only mainstream media, and that's sad, but like some friends of mine, they couldn't figure out a computer let alone a Smart-tv :(

    I wonder if the "regime" will try and stop us from donating like Trudeau did in Canada. I wouldn't doubt it, even if it's against our constitution or laws, but maybe there'll be a way ;)

    So, here is something pretty interesting that I am just now reading…..
    Governor Abbott is not even in Texas right now, he is in India , celebrating India as a constitutional republic, and the person who has been having all of the wire put up to stop the illegals invasion is actually the Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick.
    He is a person whom President Trump has praised before for his patriotism, and it is Patrick who is now on his way to confront the border situation in Texas.
    Have you been hearing much about this, @Beth Gallagher , since you live in Texas ?

    and we've all been led to believe Abbotts there running the show, not Patrick?? I really don't like that. When did he make the trip? If it was during all this, that sort of turns my stomach, wth??

    Well I'll remember the name Dan Patrick, hope he runs for something I can vote for!!

    Do you think that's all legit @Yvonne Smith ? It seems to be, but you never know seems like. Have you found out anything else yet?

    This is the first I've heard of Dan Patrick and here he is with Ingram talking about Trump calling on States (the 25) to send their National Guard units, I do love what Patrick has to say about that, handling it very well imo :)

    Yes, Abbott is currently in India. His policies are still in effect with Dan Patrick as Lt.Gov. Not sure I see what the issue is...? I have never been a big fan of Dan Patrick but he has been a public figure in Texas since he was a sportscaster on a local Houston TV station.
