Finally, is your car watching you? Automobile expert Lauren Fix has joined in to break down the newest Orwellian development.
Striking members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) have agreed to return to work for the time being.
On Thursday, sources announced that the two sides had reached a tentative agreement on wages and that they had agreed to extend the master contract until January 15th.
Thousands of dockworkers abruptly walked off the job early on Tuesday morning.
ILA has around 50,000 members working at a number of ports. The ports stretch all the way from Maine to Texas.
The two-day walkout disrupted sales of American businesses overseas, as well as the majority flow of containerized imports and exports into the United States.
The last time East Coast and Gulf Coast workers went on strike was back in 1977. The strike lasted seven weeks.

BREAKING: Port strike suspended, ILA agrees to 62% wage hike
A union representing 45,000 striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports has reached a deal to suspend their strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract, a person briefed on the matter said. The union, the International Longshoremen's Association, is to resume working immediately, at least until January, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has yet to be signed. The agreement will allow the union and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents shippers and ports, time to negotiate a new six-year contract. The person also said both sides reached agreement on wage increases, but details weren't available. The union went on strike early Tuesday after its contract expired in a dispute over pay and the automation of tasks at ports from Maine to Texas. The strike came at the peak of the holiday shopping season at 36 ports that handle about half the cargo from ships coming in and out of the United States. The walkout raised the risk of shortages of goods on store shelves if it lasted more than a few weeks. But most retailers have stocked up or shipped items early in anticipation of a work stoppage. A joint statement released Thursday said both sides "reached a tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues." Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume."
Former President Donald Trump has announced that he plans on deporting a large concentration of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, if he wins re-election in November and defeats Kamala Harris.
During a NewsNation interview on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he would remove the migrants’ temporary protected status (TPS) and initiate the deportation process. He noted that he plans to keep his word on carrying out a “large deportation” campaign aimed at removing the millions of illegal immigrants who took advantage of Biden’s open border policies.
“It has nothing to do with Haiti or anything else. "You have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country,” Trump stated.
“Springfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen what happened to it? It’s been overrun. You can’t do that to people. I’d revoke [their protected status], and I’d bring [the migrants] back to their country,” he continued.
His attempts, however, were unsuccessful, as the United States District Court for the Northern District of California stepped in and blocked the federal government from changing the migrants’ protected status for five years.
Currently, the Haitian migrant community in Springfield is estimated to make up around 15,000 to 20,000 people, putting a strain on city resources to accommodate the rapid influx of migrants in an otherwise small, quiet town.
According to the Congressional Research Service, over 200,000 Haitian immigrants have applied for and been approved to receive TPS services.
The city of Springfield saw the national spotlight after unconfirmed reports surfaced claiming Haitian immigrants were killing and eating pets, as well as local geese and ducks, which Trump highlighted in the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’m sitting here, I’m riding on the trail, I’m going to my orientation for my job today, and I see a group of Haitian people, there were about four of them, they all had geese in their hand,” said a 9-1-1 caller in Springfield to a police dispatcher.
Many Springfield City Council attendees and TikTokers who live in the area also corroborated those claims.
Additionally, local residents have claimed that the Haitians do not understand American road or driving laws, and that many of them have been causing dangerous accidents.
“These Haitians are running into trash cans. They’re running into buildings. "They're flipping cars in the middle of the street, and I don’t know how like y’all can be comfortable with this,” said a local resident during a city council meeting on August 28th.
“The slave revolt that brought Haiti independence indeed relied on voodoo, the New World version of ancestral African faiths. To this day, by various scholarly estimates, 50 percent to 95 percent of Haitians practice at least elements of voodoo, often in conjunction with Catholicism,” The New York Times reported.
After the “unconfirmed pet-eating” reports surfaced, a member of GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) team reached out to Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck about the reports, to which Heck responded, stating, “I told him no." There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.”
Although the pet-eating claims are still unconfirmed, Vance said he intends to uplift the concerns of local residents in Springfield who miss how their city once was prior to the influx of third world foreigners.
“We don’t blame the Haitian migrants for coming to Springfield,” Vance stated. “We blame Kamala Harris for opening the American southern border and inviting 20,000 people to get dropped in a small Ohio town.”

America’s political and military enemies are using asymmetric warfare on us, and we don’t even know it. Their means of attack? Immigration. The progressive vision for this tactic is meant to overwhelm the system, collapse it, and then rebuild. But our global enemies — from Russia to Iran — are using it to destroy the system completely. Thanks to Biden-Harris's mass migration policy, Glenn argues we are at the precipice of another 9/11-style attack. He takes you inside secret meetings in South America that some of the world’s scariest terrorists are attending — like the supreme leader of Hamas and the chief of operations for Hezbollah. Their game plan starts with recruiting Venezuelan gang members, taking them to Iran for “training,” encouraging criminal activity south of the U.S.-Mexico border, and then facilitating the spread of that violence to our own streets in America (like we saw with Tren de Aragua gangs terrorizing citizens in Aurora, Colorado). Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportation of illegal aliens is not racist. It is not heartless. It is — as JD Vance said in the CBS VP debate — common sense. Mass deportation has a long history of working under presidents like Hoover, Eisenhower, Clinton, and Obama. So why the crocodile tears now? Where are the tears for victims of open-border policies in states like New York, Colorado, Florida, and Georgia? The border crisis is no longer some abstract, faraway issue for the U.S. Border Patrol to deal with. It’s a national threat for the entire country. And catastrophe is coming.
