Mexican Cross Border Truck Program turns 1 year old today

It occurred to me that a year ago today, the Mexican Cross Border Program began it’s successful run. None of the chaos and calamity that was foretold by the opposition occurred. There have been no deaths on the highways from these trucks and their drivers as many still say would and will happen. There has been no economic crisis to the American trucker by allowing these trucks into the country. There has been no flood of drugs and illegal aliens brought into the country as many suggested. All in all, it has been a success! But it still bothers some ….Read More

The massive fraud visited upon the American public by the Teamsters and OOIDA concerning the Mexican Cross Border Pilot Program continues to make the news as more mainstream newspapers see through the campaign of misinformation and xenophobic pablum these two organizations have put forth. Since they do not have facts to back their position, they have chosen to prey upon the ignorance and fears of Americans with stories of chaos and disaster waiting to hit America’s highways. Of course, as we have seen over the past year, it hasn’t happened, and in Mexico, highway safety concerning big rigs is much ….Read More

Google Chrome - Open Source Browser Debuts

Talk about being blindsided. There has been rumor about Google entering the browser market and now rumor is reality!

The U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted unanimously July 31 on a resolution that would end the test program on its one-year anniversary on Sept. 6. If the House and the Senate approve the resolution in one form or another, President Bush is expected to veto it unless it’s included in a larger measure. ….Read More

Hundreds of thousands of frustrated Mexicans, many carrying pictures of kidnapped loved ones, marched across the country Saturday to demand government action against a relentless tide of killings, abductions and shootouts.

Cries of “enough” and “long live Mexico” rose up from sea of white-clad demonstrators filling Mexico City’s enormous Zocalo square. The protesters held candles twinkling in the darkness as they sang the ….Read More
