NEW: Florida troopers pull truckers off the road after they can’t read basic signs or speak English during safety crackdown Florida Highway Patrol conducted enforcement operations in North Florida, testing commercial truck drivers on federal English proficiency requirements. In one stop, a driver responded only in Spanish and said “No” when asked if he spoke any English. In another, a trucker could not explain what a road sign meant or what action to take. Up to half of drivers at some weigh stations failed the checks. Multiple truckers were immediately taken out of service for safety violations.

Robotic fingers have “surpassed human hands in speed and precision.” How soon until they are available for the public?

🚨 THEY’RE QUIETLY ERASING YOUR INTERNET OPTIONS — AND REPLACING THEM WITH “APPROVED” HARDWARE The U.S. is blocking new foreign-made routers while everything already on shelves stays approved, which means nothing disappears overnight… it just slowly stops getting replaced. And it’s not small brands either, it’s the exact companies people actually use: • TP-Link • ASUS • Netgear All suddenly labeled a “national security risk.” Routers aren’t just another gadget, they’re the entry point to everything in your house, every login, every message, every device runs through them, so if that layer gets narrowed down to a handful of “approved” options, that’s not a product shift… that’s control over the entire system. And they’re not banning it all at once, they’re phasing it out quietly, the same way they’ve done with other tech, where the old stays, but the future gets cut off. So if they control the hardware that controls your internet… what exactly do you think they’ll do with it next?

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles city council voted unanimously to move forward with a pilot program that aims to improve traffic safety by installing speed cameras on city streets. ktla.com/news/local-new…

Shannon Joy reports that the International Atomic Energy Agency has published “lockdowns 2.0” in response to a looming energy crisis. The plan would restrict driving, ground flights, force remote work, and ban gas cooking. It would also impose highway speed limits and use license plates to determine which days people are allowed to drive. Under the plan, the government would decide what is considered essential and what is not. 🎥 @ShannonJoyRadio

NEW: The LAPD is setting up drivers by having someone walk across the street in an "unmarked crosswalk" so they can then give tickets to people who don't stop. "Recently, LAPD Van Nuys division conducted a Pedestrian Enforcement Taskforce," they shared online. The LAPD says the trap was made to "promote education" after they've "had a string of accidents that have resulted in fatal or severe injuries related to pedestrians."

The chance of you smashing into a truck on a scooter, flipping into the luggage rack and landing on the floor with your pants around your ankles, is very low... it's so low a comet will hit you first... but never quite zero.
