The hyper-leftist DHS apparently wants to freak people out and make the freedom truckers out to be Bad People. They’d probably be surprised how many regular citizens would support the truckers here in the U.S.
Federal officials warned that a trucker convoy protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates — inspired by the ongoing demonstrations in Canada — could target the Super Bowl this weekend, but law enforcement doesn’t see it as a major threat.
The Super Bowl, which takes place Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in Los Angeles County, will feature the Los Angeles Rams against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Department of Homeland Security distributed a notice to public safety officials and law enforcement agencies this week saying “the convoy could severely disrupt transportation, federal government, and law enforcement operations through gridlock and potential counterprotests,” Yahoo News first reported Wednesday.
DHS said it “has received reports of a convoy of truckers planning to potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates for truck drivers.”
But, there’s one little problem
But law enforcement in Los Angeles said it is not aware of any credible or direct threats related to the game.
The LA County Sheriff’s Department told Insider it is ramping up security for the Super Bowl, but as a standard practice and not in response to the DHS warning. A public information officer said on Wednesday there was no “legitimacy” to the trucker convoy threat.
He also said, because of the way the area surrounding the stadium will be blocked off, if a trucker convoy did arrive in the city, it would not be able to get near the stadium without a game pass.
So, no real threat to all the celebs and politicians showing up and not wearing their masks.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also said at a press conference Tuesday there was no indication of a “specific credible threat against the Super Bowl,” ABC News reported.
The DHS warning about the potential trucker convoy said that, as of Tuesday, it appeared to be “purely aspirational because the event is only being discussed online” but noted that “this could change quickly,” Yahoo reported. Insider’s Jake Epstein and Kieran Press-Reynolds reported Wednesday dozens of right-wing groups were using Telegram to discuss organizing trucker convoys in the US.
So, DHS was just spitballing. Because some truckers were spitballing on social media and Telegram. The far left DHS, Biden, and other Democrats certainly do not want any of those icky blue collar folks interfering with their big day.
So Teach am I correct in assuming that while you are in favor the Canadian Reedumb Protest. You would not support the same tactics used at our Superbowl to address vaccines and mask mandates?
It’s between the Cincinnati Bungles and the Los Angeles Ewes, so who really cares?
I noticed that you spelled “freedom” as “reedumb,” which tells us just how much you value freedom and liberty, even though you are exercising your freedom of speech and of the press every day on this site.
And here I thought “climate change” was the only thing affecting the SuperBowl…..
Speaking of masks, since the new case rate of Covid is dropping precipitously (Thanks, President Biden!), local schools here are making mask-wearing voluntary. We guess all those radical leftist Superintendents gave up or their plan for “control”!
Speaking of masks,
Thanks, Brandon.

Bwaha! Lolgfy
Correct me if I’m wrong, drowningpuppies, but if Brandon were a Republican wouldn’t all the dOwds out there be calling him Hitler and a mass murderer?
Let’s go Brandon, you can still kill a couple hundred thousand kids who don’t need fake vax shots.
Are you implying Rimjob is a hypocrite?
BINGO!

Yes, we’ve noticed that elected Democrats are listening to the voices of the people, since there’s an election in just nine months.
In the Keystone State, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out Reichsstatthalter Tom Wolf’s (NSDAP-PA) school mask mandate, and local school boards are making masks optional now. All except Philadelphia, of course, which not only retained its mask mandate, but doubled down, requiring N95 or equivalent masks; the old ones just won’t do. Philadelphia Health Commissioner Cheryl Bettigole said, on February 2nd, that the city is probably “several months” away from dropping its indoor mask mandate.
And some Karens got a federal judge to enjoin Perkiomen Valley School District’s decision to make masks optional, when three families objected, claiming that their children were health compromised and needed the mask mandate for their health. If masks actually work, why wouldn’t their own kids’
masks protect them; why must hundreds of other people wear masks?
Dana: we’ve noticed that elected Democrats are listening to the voices of the people, since there’s an election in just nine months
Are you implying that GOPhers listen to the will of the people, LOL?
That’s possible although it’s more likely that as the cases drop 90% that the masks come off.
The desperate GOPhers see their chances dropping so they’re now backing and financing the “grassroots” trucker protests to further knot the supply chain!
Dana: If masks actually work, why wouldn’t their own kids’

You’re by far the brightest connie in these parts so you must understand that masks are not 100% effective, so if other kids’ coughs and exhalations are contained that lowers the likelihood that other children will become infected. As you learned the other day masks do work, just not against small molecule scents!
dOwd: “Are you implying that GOPhers listen to the will of the people, LOL?”
Yeah, that’s what he was implying. Dems are now at a favorable poll number slightly lower than gonorrhea. You are living in a psychotic bubble of lies and denial.
Here’s what you “party” has become:

Democrats doin’ what they can do to foster hate. “NYC Middle School Students Celebrate COVID Vaccines by Singing, Unvaxxed Kids ‘Ain’t No Friends of Mine’ ”
Can’t you just feel the love, compassion and care? The Democrats who continue to push this Covid farce are now complicit in the death of any kid who dies from fake vaccines.

Let’s go Brandon, you pervert.
would this not be classified as bullying and HATE SPEECH!!!!!!!
Nah, this would be classified as white supremacy, racism, misogynist and of course homophobic. Bullying and hate speech is what the leftists do to us when lock down our businesses or they call us deplorable etc.
“NYC Middle School Students Celebrate COVID Vaccines by Singing, Unvaxxed Kids ‘Ain’t No Friends of Mine’ ”

This is what I was referring to. Most certainly hate speech and Bullying. All of these children should be rounded up and imprisoned in reform school until they are 18.
Thanks, Brandon https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-administration-begins-grueling-months-long-process-of-abandoning-americans-in-ukraine
You gotta junderstand Jl, getting Americans killed in Ukraine is taking needed operatives away from masking and jabbing 2 year old kids and beating the crap out of anyone wanting to help truck drivers and getting those crack pipes out to “the marginalized” (I love that term “marginalized”. Makes it sound authentic).
Everything the left is doing is crumbling in their hands. How soon before some leftist mayor orders a cop to shoot a pissed off mom at a school board meeting like Nazi Pelousy did when she had Capitol Cop Byrd murder Babbitt and DC Metro Police cop Lila Morris beat to death Rosanne Boyland?
The left is freaking out because they see the handwriting on the wall. They are finished. And nothing’s quite so dangerous as a cornered mad animal.
Let’s go Brandon, kill some more Americans to prove how patriotic you are you commie dog. Maybe you could put your coke addicted sex pervert son to hand out those pipes?
Maybe you could put your coke addicted sex pervert son to hand out those pipes?
And pay him 100,000,000 dollars for his highly skilled endeavor since he will soon be losing his Ukraine Gig and the Big man won’t be getting his cut from there any longer.
The crack pipe part of the deal has been cancelled, because news of it got out, but the
BrandonBiden Administration is ‘reconsidering’ a Trump Administration policy which would have used the “crack house statute”, 21 US §856, to prohibit the establishment of ‘safe injection sites,’ in which junkies could bring in their illegal drugs and shoot up under the supervision of trained personnel, to save them if they overdose.Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) co-sponsored the crack house statute in 1986, which was then folded into Mr Biden’s more expansive Anti-Drug Abuse Act. Now that his son is an addict, well he’s more sympathetic toward junkies.
Junkies are more than just drug users, somehow not hurting anyone else. They are enabling the criminal drug dealers, creating a demand for drugs which has helped lead to the tremendous homicide rate in our cities, as the drug dealers fight it out, and most of them have to personally engage in petty, and not so petty, theft to pay for their next fixes. Junkies are leaving behind a trail of children for whom the state, or grandparents, have to care. They are the dregs of society.
If God came down from heaven, and said to me, “Dana, I am giving you my power to do one thing,” I would, without hesitation, change the human brain to make it immune to all intoxicants, drugs and alcohol. That would solve the vast majority of our societal ills.
The solution to the drug epidemic is clear. Legalize drugs and end the war on drugs.
Right now we have enough fentanyl coming into the USA to kill 200,000,000 Americans, led by China funding the drug cartels to destroy the USA.
IF we legalize drugs it will then create a whole new REGULATED industry run by the Whatever agency to ensure that drugs are made and are safe. As safe as possible. Once we stop killing people willy nilly with laced drugs from drug cartels we can then begin addressing the drug addictions in Safe houses and programs.
Legalizing drugs is no different than Boooze. You DUI, DWI’s. No showing up for work stoned and partially stoned. Personal responsibility just like your boss doesnt tolerate you falling down drunk at your current job would be the same requirement for Drug addicts. Impaired in public. Taken to jail. 3 strikes and its off to the funny farm.
Just stop the war on drugs, legalize them and it would end the cartels stranglehold on the USA.
It would end 1/2 of the illegals flooding this country overnight.
If drugs and alcohol only impacted those who use them, I wouldn’t care. But here in the Bluegrass State, we have the great ‘distinction’ of having the highest percentage of children being reared by their grandparents, almost entirely due to drugs and alcohol.
There are literally millions of people who can’t hold jobs due to drug or alcohol addiction; we are paying for these people with our welfare system.
The vast majority of adults wind up caring for children at some points in their lives; legalized drugs, and alcohol, means that a whole bunch of children would be, and are, being brought up by people who have f(ornicated) up their minds for a good part of the time. My wife, who is a pediatric nurse, has told me that she has never seen a case of child abuse — and they have to be hospitalization bad for her to have seen them — in which drugs and/or (usually and) were not involved.
Legalizing drugs does not mean that junkies wouldn’t have to steal to afford their fix; it just means that the government would get a cut.
Due to their different nature, we have a test for current intoxication with alcohol, but none for the recreational drugs. Marijuana? It can leave traceable waste metabolites in your body for up to 45 days, which means someone who has an accident at work who tests positive for pot may well not be intoxicated at work, and the legalities of dismissing such a person using that test, if marijuana is legalized, would be bad.
So, you’re telling me that you trust a government agency to do this?
Actually, “killing people willy nilly with laced drugs from drug cartels” doesn’t sound like a bad ‘solution’ to me; it gets bad people out of society much faster. Deliberately messing with your brain is always a bad idea.
Mr Dana, being the only intelligent libercontrarian here, sadly finds himself losing IQ points with every far-right myth he repeats. But the only objective of the nuCON/nuGOP movement is to own the libs. No wonder America is in trouble…
US overdose deaths shot up some 30% during 2020, likely related to the ongoing pandemic. Methamphetamine overdose deaths shot up 35%. The availability of the potent opioid, fentanyl, also contributed, accounting for over half of overdose deaths. The other night in the tony Central West End neighborhood, 7 St Louisans died from fentanyl overdoses. Two emergency meds were treated for fentanyl poisoning after treating the overdosed. Colin Dickey (DEA) says fentanyl is mass produced in Mexico from ingredients from China.
Substance addiction is a complicated issue. Mr Dana no doubt feels the solution is to let these “defective” daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and friends die as they made choices out of personal weakness. But then, conservatives have never been noted for their empathy. It is understood that most addictions stem from a combination of family history (genetics), physical and emotional pain, loneliness, physical and psychological trauma, stress, peer pressure. For example, in Appalachia, laborers are more likely to be hurt on the job (e.g., mining) than most so more likely to be prescribed pain-killers such as Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin, marketed in such a way to encourage addiction. Bank VPs are less likely to be injured on the job. The Sackler family (Purdue Pharma) was able to keep their billions made off hard-working Americans in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas et al… At least 36 states sued Purdue and have been awarded settlements. But nothing brings back dead sons and daughters.
Seems like a lot but the family has accumulated some $20 billion (and had hidden some overseas). But, yeah, crack pipes are the story.
