OMG guys, I'VE MISSED YOU ALL !!!

I have been so busy with work, I've been running a dedicated run from Grand Rapids, MI down to Nashville then up to Cincinnati and back up to Grand Rapids, MI. Fckn nonstop

Finally finished my last run for this customer tonight, I'm on their property in Cincinnati waiting to unload here in the morning then over to Fort Wayne, Indiana for a pick up and back home to GR. Going to go back to local runs and be home every night again for awhile. I can't explain how happy I am right now lol

Really happy to know that I'll have time again and be able to visit more frequently, I missed you guys.

Clarence Thomas says federal laws against marijuana may no longer be necessary (nbcnews.com)

Clarence Thomas says federal laws against marijuana may no longer be necessary
"The federal government's current approach is a half-in, half-out regime that simultaneously tolerates and forbids local use of marijuana,” the conservative Supreme Court justice wrote.

Clarence Thomas, one of the Supreme Court's most conservative justices, said Monday that because of the hodgepodge of federal policies on marijuana, federal laws against its sale or cultivation may no longer make sense.

"A prohibition on interstate use or cultivation of marijuana may no longer be necessary or proper to support the federal government's piecemeal approach," he wrote.

His views came as the court declined to hear the appeal of a Colorado medical marijuana dispensary that was denied federal tax breaks that other businesses are allowed.

Thomas said the Supreme Court's ruling in 2005 upholding federal laws making marijuana possession illegal may now be out of date.

"Federal policies of the past 16 years have greatly undermined its reasoning," he said. "The federal government's current approach is a half-in, half-out regime that simultaneously tolerates and forbids local use of marijuana.”

Thirty-six states now allow medical marijuana, and 18 also allow recreational use. But federal tax law does not allow marijuana businesses to deduct their business expenses.

"Under this rule, a business that is still in the red after it pays its workers and keeps the lights on might nonetheless owe substantial federal income tax," Thomas said.

The Department of Justice has instructed the nation's federal prosecutors not to pursue cases against marijuana businesses that follow state law. And since 2015, Congress has prohibited the Justice Department from spending federal money to prevent states from carrying out their own laws.

But the IRS continues to enforce its own rules against growers and dealers.

The federal government's "willingness to look the other way on marijuana is more episodic that coherent," Thomas said.

I hope all you been staying safe and healthy
And so it begins - welcome back! I lost weight in your absence, due to lack of your temptation station posts that were pure munchie inducing. Even taco Tuesdays turned into a meatless endeavor with lentils and walnuts as a substitute - on a bed of homegrown lettuce, topped with salsa.
If I gain that weight back, I'll be tempted to use my virgin ignore button. JK :grin:

The state of the country's pot laws is a good indicator of the state of the nation, this is another thing that has super majority support nationally. It is but one example of government disfunction caused by the GOP, that something so simple to resolve, is left in such a chaotic state. The issue is a bit of a canary in the coal mine, in that it is indictive of deeper divisions and problems, these laws were mostly created to "get" blacks and Mexicans.

The Devastating Reality of the Arizona Forensic Audit
Democrats and the mainstream media have been aggressively denouncing the Maricopa County, Arizona election audit from the beginning.

At, first I didn’t understand why.

The Arizona audit is being run impeccably, utilizing security and surveillance procedures with a longstanding track record of effectiveness.

To say that I was impressed after viewing the audit process for myself would be a massive understatement. I’ve spent decades working in security and law enforcement at the highest levels, and this is exactly the level of conscientiousness and attention to detail that I would demand for a sensitive or high-profile investigation....

...
If every state performed an audit like this one after every election, public faith in our democracy would be absolute and unshakable.

The audit process being used in Arizona has accuracy, integrity, and accountability, and there’s no way to cheat because everything is captured on film.

Now that I’ve seen the process for myself, I finally understand why it has the Democrats so hot and bothered.

They know that if anything improper happened in the 2020 election, this audit will catch it – and they also know that they have no hope of refuting any improprieties this audit reveals.

They’re not trying to reinvent the wheel; they’re using the same methods casinos have used for decades to catch cheaters.
Bernard B. Kerik was the 40th Police Commissioner of the New York City Police Department and is a New York Times bestselling author.

"Bernard Bailey Kerik is an American consultant and former police officer who served as the 40th Commissioner of the New York Police Department from 2000 to 2001. A former convicted felon, he obtained a presidential pardon for his numerous ethics violations in 2020."

"On February 18, 2020, President Donald Trump granted Kerik a full pardon"

In Baghdad 2003 that jack ass was there as a civilian adviser. All he said when he talked to us was tell everyone how awesome rudy was.

At the time a couple of us were discussing how it sounded as if he was campaigning for rudy.

Few years later back home and sure as shit, rudy was running for president.
