On Tuesday, The Daily Wire<\/a> reported that Arizona Democrat Representative Ruben Gallego has called for seizing the trucks of protesters headed to Washington, D.C., and then giving the property to businesses looking to grow. Glad to see we have elected representatives who took their oath to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution seriously. Seizing property and giving it to others is generally called robbery. It is also one of the principles of socialism.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cPerfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,\u201d Gallego tweeted in response to the following news headline: \u201cTrucker convoy could shut down DC Beltway tomorrow.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Hot Air<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

American truckers and their supporters are organizing and heading to Washington, D.C. to protest COVID-19 mandates. The People\u2019s Convoy is patterned after Canada\u2019s Freedom Convoy. Truckers will leave California tomorrow and arrive in Washington on Saturday, March 5. D.C. law enforcement is preparing for their arrival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Convoy announced plans to launch a \u201cpeaceful and unified transcontinental movement\u201d in Southern California. Organizers say their intention is to have a \u201claw-abiding convoy\u201d with truckers, blue-collar workers and supporters participating in it. According to the news release, they expect supporters from all walks of life. Their news release<\/a> named some conservative-leaning journalists who will join the convoy to cover the event, providing daily updates as they travel across the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…D.C. law enforcement agencies are preparing and a request for assistance from the National Guard has been made. U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) released a statement that they are aware of the convoy\u2019s plans and are on alert. The D.C. National Guard, if activated, will test its new activation process<\/a> put in place after the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suppose we should be grateful that the National Guard will be called out to make sure the protest remains peaceful. I suspect the protest will be infiltrated by a few ‘bad apples’ to try to tarnish the cause. The question is whether or not those ‘bad apples’ will be government agents.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, not all of the news about the Canadian truckers is bad.<\/p>\n

On Monday, The Patriot Journal<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

As it stands, the Freedom Convoy has been painted into a corner and now they\u2019re facing stiff penalties. Though they have plenty of public and financial support, the government\u2019s power is clear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response, Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NV) has introduced a new piece of legislation specifically designed to aid these truckers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s successful, it would give the protesters a safe port in the storm, so-to-speak. And it would show them that certain politicians in America absolutely support their right to protest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s going to be an interesting week.<\/p>\n
