No. We sold them until demand fell off. In other words, when we reached that point where every customer who wanted to convert a B into an R had done so. And after all, an R was a better truck than a BCR as they were available with Walter May's and Win Pelizzoni's game-changing Maxidyne powerplant.

Geez, you just can't make this stuff up................. TV station ABC7 Chicago is broadcasting to illegal aliens on how to avoid being taken into custody by ICE. Trump should have the FCC cancel their broadcasting license, and have management and that news anchor arrested for treason. The arrogance of illegal aliens in the US. is really something. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14317469/abc-chicago-illegal-migrants-ice-capture.html We need to come down hard so they realize the criminal immigration show has completely changed and they will face the harshest consequences. The US must now be known for "zero tolerance". Take this illegal rapist.....I would with him send the ultimate message. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14317437/illegal-migrant-sexually-abusing-girl-luis-lopez-martinez.html

Mack sold many BCR kits.

If they dislike our country's leadership so much, they are welcome to leave at any time. The door swings both ways.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta says “The President is attempting to intimidate and bully state and local law enforcement into carrying out his mass deportation agenda for him". Apparently, and surprisingly, he doesn't understand the concept of federal law.

In Germany, the Turkish immigrants are doing the many jobs that Germans no longer want to do.

The problem is, while the first generation arrivals were hard workers, until the recent arrival of the young gangs, their children don't want to do that work. So you get a single generation workforce. And again, there appear to be millions of younger Americans who refuse to enter the work force. They don't want to be a roofer, truck mechanic or warehouse worker. Rather than start their own lives, they remain at home. It a bit reminds me of what I said many years ago........."cultural decay, and declining standards of behavior".

The core of President Donald Trump’s agenda runs through 91-year-old Chuck Grassley, who has been in the chamber longer than his vice president has been alive................................................... https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/23/chuck-grassley-age-trump-agenda-005992

That's going to be a challenge. For decades, a large percentage of farm help were illegals. Many here know that. And the U.S. working age people who don't work, those who choose crime over employment, those homeless people who opt out of working............they're not going to hit the fields and pick. I expect it will be a challenge we'll have to work through. Perhaps a new temporary stay (seasonal farm worker) visa will be issued with new high levels of monitoring and conditions (limited freedom of movement within the US).

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamin Huffman has outlined plans to extend immigration enforcement powers to Justice Department agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Marshals Service. (The ATF and DEA traditionally only become involved in immigration cases when they involve gun and drug trafficking.) He noted that FBI agents have authority under Title 8 to arrest immigrants. Administration officials are asking the Department of Justice to cooperate by allowing their agents to get involved. A DHS memo dated Tuesday warns local governments that if they seek to shield illegal immigrants from detection or deportation by federal authorities, they now face criminal prosecution.

Why did the Biden administration orchestrate an unprecedented erosion of border security ? .

Why did the Biden admnistration intenionally create the illegal immigration crisis ? .

I hear you. Humbly speaking, given how far matters got bizarrely out of hand, I think a strong message (heavy hand) is necessary to "right the ship". After all, they did criminally enter the country. The burden of wrong falls on these illegal aliens, or their parents. The United States is purely the victim of their illegal entry. The world needs to be reminded that the US can and will enforce its borders as firmly as other prudent countries rightfully do. On birthright citizenship, my thought is the children born to illegal alien parents do not qualify for birthright citizenship, as all three obviously aren't supposed to be in the country to begin with.

On illegal alien influx, Biden told New York City Mayor Eric Adams "Be a good Democrat, Eric." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14310725/tucker-carlson-stunned-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-biden-warning.html

Just hours after President Trump was sworn back into office, Texas ramped up its border security efforts by adding floating barriers along the Rio Grande. I look forward to continuing to work closely with President Trump to secure the border. AMERICA IS BACK! Texas Governor Greg Abbott https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14312189/Texas-buoys-New-barriers-installed-Rio-Grande-Trump-ally-Governor-Abbott-hails-America-back.html

President Trump is dismantling his predecessor's dangerous policies prioritizing DEI hiring at the FAA. The DEI order prioritizes safety and efficiency within the FAA. No more sub-standard air traffic controllers. "We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based."

Nice video with good info on the Hall-Scott. .

From Jan 20, every exciting new day is full of surprises. Elon today chided President Trump's Wednesday announcement that several tech companies would invest $500 billion into data center infrastructure. Exactly, OpenAI, Oracle and MGX, plus Japans SoftBank. So today, Musk said "They don’t actually have the money. SoftBank has well under $10 billion secured. I have that on good authority." That may have gone over like a lead balloon, or perhaps the boss upon learning they didn't have their money lined up and not wanting embarrassment told Elon to jerk their chain.. (Musk's derision of OpenAI stems from his dispute over the OpenAI company's Sam Altman. Altman and Musk were once friends and business partners, creating OpenAI as a non-profit organization to develop AI. OpenAI carved out an entity within the non-profit allowing corporate investors to raise capital for the project known as ChatGPT which took an early lead in the AI race. Musk rightfully sued OpenAI and Atlman for violating their charter, after it was clear that they were able to get a head start in the competitive field. Musk has since launched his own AI company called xAI.)

Agreed ! I again say, I dislike parties and wish they were banned. Individuals are elected to go to DC and represent the desires/voice of their constituents. We constantly see a party's agenda taking precedent over the desires of the elected official's constituents.

Trump has now put that embarrassment to the Episcopal church in her place. It's shocking they allow nutjobs to give left-wing political lectures. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14311785/Trump-woke-bishop-sermon-prayer-truth-social-inauguration.html The so-called bishop who spoke at the national prayer service on Tuesday morning was a radical left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!

There's no question about that. And remember, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple's Tim Cook were also in the converted CEO group at the inauguration.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) memo: Federal employees who work for DEIA offices are to be put on paid leave immediately, with a deadline of 17:00 EST today, as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices and programs. All outward-facing websites and social media accounts are to be taken down and for DEIA-related training to be cancelled. By 12:00 EST on Thursday, a report should be filed to the OPM with a complete list of diversity and equity offices and employees who work in those offices By no later than 17:00 EST, a plan should be submitted to the OPM outlining reduction-in-force action. President Trump has ordered federal workers to return to the office 5 days a week, and weakened job protections for civil servants. Now, job security is based on work results and commitment..

As Scott Bessent pointed out in his confirmation hearing, Biden anointed two certifiable "oligarchs" with the Medal of Freedom including troublemaker George Soros. So if Trump now has Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg. I have zero problem with that.
