by Doug “Uncola” Lynn:
As mentioned in an article last month, I have been helping out friends by driving a 10-speed triaxle dump truck (6AM to 6PM) 2 to 3 days a week this summer.
In some ways, excavating pavement is like a war: It is a daily grindfest whereby demolition is ongoing and progress takes time. Our crew consists of an onsite Colonel, so to speak, who operates the big machines and confers with the engineers and local employees, a Captain acting as the site supervisor, a Sergeant who musters the crew and drives a dump truck as needed, two grunts who can also operate skid-steers, end-loaders, backhoes, rollers, and graders, plus myself and another driver who are hauling and dumping non-stop all day.
Certainly, the guys in the crew work very hard. Harder than me.
And beyond the occasional “Fuck Biden” signage, people out here on the edge seem to be ignoring The Borg.
“For how long?” I wonder.
Recently, the panicked internet headlines were screaming over a pending diesel shortage. But later headlines have claimed diesel demand is set to drop.
Either way, it seems to make no difference out here on the fringe; at least for now. One morning, the “Captain” drove one of the trucks to the jobsite at 7 AM and left it running. When I drove by again at 2PM, the rig was still idling. This is much different than when I’ve helped out driving bus for my local school system. At the schools, the rule is to shut down the diesel engines if idling longer than 5 minutes. But the dump trucks we are driving this summer are older so no modern EPA-mandated DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) concerns. Most of the trucks and equipment run non-stop all day and the fuel tanks at the main shop have yet to run dry.
On another day off from driving, I read a blog post mentioning the Supreme Court ruling on abortion and typed the following comments, and question, in that thread:
We know SCOTUS, like the DoJ and FBI, has been mostly assimilated by The Borg.
We also know SCOTUS had five decades to overturn Roe v Wade.
So why now?
Of course, I had my own opinion on the matter, but wanted to see if anyone else shared my views. Bingo. The commenter “Herc” replied as follows:
After they lock us up in the fall, and the election results show a democratic sweep in the middle of night from all the mail in votes….they will say the abortion vote was what turned the tide
I have officially given up. The SITREP is hopeless.
I will fight from my foxhole to hold the tiny piece of America that I inhabit till I am overwhelmed.
500 yards in every direction will be a dead zone for any liberal, commie, blue-haired, dreadlocked, colored, or LGBTXYZ scum that enter.
THEY have drawn the battle lines, let the WAR commence.
Carry On,
Gunny
That was my thoughts also, I stated this in some earlier article, pain as day why they overturned at this time.
That is the most common sense (collective memory) explanation I’ve yet to hear. From the start of ‘We’re in for a red wave’, I perceive it as code for the Dem will take over Congress by minor percentages (so no audit can be called)
On a personal not, went to the monthly meeting of Vets at the Vietnam memorial, at the Capital grounds. NEVER seen so many snowflakes in the middle of summer. Seems biker Vets get butt hurt and triggered over Red, White and Blue flags they don’t approve of. (If it were a fairy flag I’d get it, yet they choose to blindly support international child sex trafficking)
Yea I know what you mean, where are all the nam vets, I joined in 1968 and most of the vets of that era have nothing better to do than whine. Where are they now, how about the bikers for tramp? Poor me syndrome, I have a friend spent almost 3yrs in nam, I never hear him whine. FO.
Tom, time is short and those of us that have been there, are gonna have to suck it up for all those that haven’t and all bloviating cowards. Days be coming, I suspect damned shortly now!
“I never hear him whine. FO.”
That’s the point, ppl who’ve ‘been there done that’, don’t brag about it. Those that have been shot at, complaining about a flag pattern of a WWII ally (That did all the heavy lifting, for what ever ‘victory’ may have been), is unbecoming of anyone staking claim as former military.
PS when someone is walking away, out of courtesy, don’t antagonize them. It’s so juvenile, and for a geriatric no less.
What a refreshing article by a gifted writer. Americana from the seat of a dump truck. Old school America as it was meant to be. Piss on the NWO and the Satanists behind it. Lock and load. Gonna be a bit messy. So be it.
Good article. Thank you for sharing.
Yesterday, got a memory pop of of this part
of this movie:
“You are a bad machine!” (“Midnight Express”, 1978)
About a 31/2 minutes video scene clip

Years ago, a friend left me his Caterpillar (610 from what
I remember) for a couple of weeks on some land I had, and in those two
weeks much was done with that front end loader clearing trees
and leveling out.
I’m not buying it. If there was a chance that the abortion ruling was going to be a game changer in the November mid-terms, why wasn’t that evidenced in the recent primaries? The ruling was known to be coming for a month or more, and then the ruling came down. Most of the post-decision protests have happened in Blue States. The right to abortion there is mostly unaffected, and their votes were already going to Democrats anyway. For the rest of the country, the overturning of Roe v. Wade has been mostly, “Meh.”
Pro-abortion rights voters are the most vocal critiques of the decision, yet they were never going to vote Republican anyway. Pre-decision polling showed abortion rights to be well down the list of important issues to voters. I will bet that any polls in the next couple of weeks will likely show abortion still well down the list of issues of importance to most voters.
Hispanics have abandoned Democrats in droves. Dementia Joe currently has about a 24% approval rate with them. Only hardcore Democrat apparatchiks, labor union officers, and blacks serve as the reliable groups still supporting Democrat candidates, and the black support is down from 90% to 70%. Blacks, of course, are the most likely group to use abortion clinics, and, as far as I have seen, they haven’t thought the issue is worth rioting or looting for in any serious way.
Just apply Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It will be difficult for most Democrats to gin up pro-abortion votes when voters can’t afford gas to get to work, or decent meals to serve their kids. (Although it is bad, we haven’t actually reached those points yet for most Americans.) Across the nation, most voters will be blaming Democrats.
The shortages of fuel and food are only going to get much worse in the fall, as will the prices for both. A massive storm is coming, one which most people living today have never experienced. The Normalcy Bias keeps them thinking that, while things are really bad, things can’t get that much worse. They are wrong.
Yet, what they’ve seen so far is mere prologue.
If anything. This reversal is giving aid in showing how sick many are.
The Epa, certain, second amendment right reversals, many arrows being fired.
My bet is yes to the red wave.
One must remember how militant the Republicans are. They moderated under Trump but without him, life won’t much matter under blue or red.
It’s not really a liberal world order. It’s 10,000 points of light.
(The above are observations not necessarily preferences.)
Of all the optimism and good news from court decisions, we can never take our eye of the Dems most cherished target—to disarm us. They HAVE to take our guns or else their plans cease to unfold. The 2A is their final hurdle and it’s a tall one. Roe V Wade overturned is welcome but we cannot take much comfort. The left hates women who abort and children who are aborted as well as their other sexual deviant crowd. They hate them all…or else they wouldn’t encourage them to remain in their sin. What they really care about in taking our guns. And that, God help us, will not go easy.
