What happened to no taxation without representation? The income tax began in 1913. Nevertheless, there were roads, mail, and national defense. The sick, elderly, and poor were taken care of far more by charity and churches than now. We're rocketing toward $40,000,000,000,000

We need to pass Dalilah's Law. Dalilah Coleman was five years old when a crash put her in a three week coma, followed by six months of hospitalization. Half her skull was missing for four months. She lost her ability to walk, talk, and eat and was not able to attend

At 19, I went to my first YAF conference. I met hundreds of kids who wanted a brighter future and were interested in politics. Over many conferences, I met dozens of writers, politicians, commentators, and thinkers who I looked up to. Ben Carson, Jonah Goldberg, Walter

We don't always have to agree. We can still be friends. Or, at least have constructive conversations. We are watching as groups break into smaller factions over one thing or another. The tribe gets smaller, and the opinions get more fervent. Tribalism is something baked into

There are a lot of differing opinions about how to fix freight. It's kind of like the Battle of the Five Armies in the Hobbit. After the dwarves reclaimed the kingdom under the mountain, an army of elves and an army of men camped about, looking for recompense for their help in

Is trucking a free market? A free market requires that the participants are playing by the same rules. In trucking, it is very obvious that there are two different types of actors. Those who play by the rules and those who do not. There are the fleets that are legal and

Broker transparency does not fix the fundamental problem that carriers need to know their costs and say NO to cheap freight. Too many carriers outsource too much of their agency to brokerages.

Spot market rates are like a bad drug. Right now, they seem good, so carriers get hooked. "I need to make back what I lost the last four years." But at some point, the market will swing again. And rates will not be as good. Chasing the high of the spot market is not

Leaked footage shows FMCSA administrator Derek Barrs may be going after predatory lease purchase programs after he tried one out and looked at his pay check. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
