@Obizski@WallStreetApes Exactly. I live in Laredo and have friends in the trucking industry. The Mexicans come over and pick up loads for $1-2/mile. Work a couple of weeks while living in their truck and then go back for to Mexico and repeat. They live good in Mexico. American truckers cannot compete.
AUSTIN PSA - Sunday night, between 1–2 a.m., our widowed neighbor — an elderly cancer survivor — was robbed.
They kicked in her door, stole thousands, including handmade keepsakes from her late husband.
The next night she stayed up, lights on, no door, terrified.
We’re DONE. 🧵
On the most difficult day, I woke to the news that my only son was killed in Afghanistan. He was due home in just 2 weeks. I already had his birthday present, planned to go to a baseball game like old times, cook his favorite foods, joke and tease and make up for lost time, but in the blink of an eye, we lost him. The denial and shock were crippling.
My first rational thought was, “Who will remember him when I’m gone”? He was just 21 with no children, and the notion that he might be forgotten brought an anxiety that I can’t articulate. Our family was grief-stricken and we learned in one moment what Memorial Day is truly about.
Jake was a Christian, a comedian, an athlete, a huge dog lover, an artist and the best son and friend.
I genuinely hope you all enjoy your long weekend, and if you don’t have a hero to remember, please remember mine. This is all we can do for him now.
If prompted to do so, please share him with the world. It would be a gift.

He is forever loved and missed ♥️🇺🇸
@RealJasonNelson What a beautiful little blessing you have there.❤️

@RealJasonNelson Happy Birthday 🎉🎁. May God bless you with many more years of life. Keep going !! You’re changing the world by beginning at home. That’s what America needs. Have a blessed day.
@farmingandJesus@GuitarmanJoel @ReformedForrest You guys made me chuckle out loud. 😁You don’t need a monkey, Lizzie because God is going to give you the desires of your heart.
The people who just gave Donald Trump a sweeping mandate do not want Thune or Cornyn to lead the US Senate.
They want Rick Scott. It's very clear.
Share if you agree.
@Gods_WarriorUSA My son looked just like that when he had Mycoplasma Pneumonia and when exposed to the Mycoplasma virus again. It's a severe allergic reaction to a certain virus. Prednisone, Azithromycin & Ivermectin is what helped him get better but it took days.
@RealJasonNelson She's a little night owl. 🦉💕 I'm guessing you're watching her during the day so that Panda can get some sleep and rest before her night shift.😉
@Inv3ntive15@monicasmaid They will remember picking out ice cream and eating it on the porch with Dad. I'm 54 and I still remember going to get ice cream with Dad when he had extra money and getting to pick the flavor I wanted. I have no idea what brand it was. The memories are priceless. Good job!
@jeepgirl9272 @TJandCasper The USMCA opened it up for Mexico truck drivers to drive from MX thru the US to CA. Here on the border, they are picking up loads paying $1/mile & will work in the US for 2 wk then return to MX where they live and repeat. US truckers cannot compete with that and are hurting.
