It’s Not Ronald Reagan’s Party Anymore

It’s Not Ronald Reagan’s Party AnymoreFor those of us who very much want to see Donald Trump defeated in November by the widest possible margin, the news on Friday afternoon that former Vice President Mike Pence would not be endorsing his former boss seemed encouraging. Not that Pence commands a large faction of voters. Given that he dropped out of the Republican presidential-primary race late last year after failing to rise above the lower single digits, there’s no reason to assume that he does. Still, every prominent, normie Republican who rejects Trump moves us further down the road.But toward what?A lot of my Never Trump allies on the center-right feel sure that Pence’s refusal to endorse the man he served for four years points the way (or “creates a permission structure,” as the fashionable parlance has it) for Republican voters to abandon the former president. By joining Nikki Haley, Mitt…

Upcoming solar eclipse may lead to an increase in traffic accidents

Upcoming solar eclipse may lead to an increase in traffic accidentsResearch found the event was associated with more fatal accidents in 2017 By Kristen Dalli of ConsumerAffairs March 27, 2024 The upcoming total solar eclipse is set to take place on Monday, April 8, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and while many Americans are eager to get a pair of safety glasses to witness the event, researchers are calling attention to an interesting phenomenon that occurs around eclipse time. Researchers looked into the 2017 solar eclipse, which was visible within driving distance for one-third of the U.S. population. Ultimately, they learned that the event was associated with an increase in fatal traffic accidents. During the 2017 total solar eclipse, the path of totality was narrow (about 70 miles wide) and the eclipse lasted less than three minutes in any one place (maximum duration of 160 seconds in Carbondale,…

Trucking’s Ethical Roadmap: Prioritizing Safety and Accountability

Trucking’s Ethical Roadmap: Prioritizing Safety and Accountability  In the context of the recent CERAWeek discussion and amidst the evolving landscape of transportation safety, the trucking industry stands at a critical juncture. While the sector navigates the energy transition and technological advancements, its fundamental commitment to safety and public duty demands urgent attention. The stark contrast between the safety records of the trucking and airline industries underscores a significant gap that needs bridging. With 46,682 lives lost in large truck crashes since 2010 and an additional 1.3 million people injured, the industry’s safety measures are evidently falling short of its duty to protect the public. First Duty: Aiming for Zero Fatalities The trucking industry’s first and foremost duty is to safeguard all road users, encompassing truck drivers, motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Achieving zero traffic deaths might seem ambitious, yet it is an attainable goal with the adoption of higher safety…

Motor School with Quinn Redeker: Which Way Do You Lean?

Motor School with Quinn Redeker: Which Way Do You Lean?In this installment of “Motor School,” Quinn Redeker discusses cornering techniques. For tight, slow-speed turns, counterbalancing enables a more controlled drop, with a much tighter turning radius to boot. Photos by Kevin Wing. I think it’s fair to say there are a few subjects we should all steer clear of if we want to foster a harmonious relationship with other humans. Politics and religion are obvious land mines. And my wife knows that recommending a culling of the herd in the garage isn’t a party‑starter. But it appears I’ve discovered a ripe one you might also have some feelings about. And knowing how domineering and strong‑willed you are, when the dust settles, I really hope we can still be friends. Okay, here goes nothing. There exists a feverish debate amongst motorcyclists regarding two uniquely different approaches to riding. Of course, there…
