MAGA fans are rejoicing on social media in favor of President Donald Trump’s plan to sign an executive order requiring commercial truck drivers to speak English.

Breitbart News reported that Trump would sign the order Monday evening because “President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.” Last month, Trump designated English as “the official language of the United States.”

“This is such a big deal! So grateful for this, the roads will be much safer. Like many, I have seen many accidents or near accidents from unqualified drivers,” posted @coffeegirlvegas.

    okay, you’ve got to check out RobWords and Words Unraveled. i’m not usually one to plug youtube channels, but i think you’d really like them. i suggest you check out words unraveled first - just because it’s a lot of fun and jess (his co-host) adds a lot and makes him blush.

      You are a monster … I spend hours watching furniture and small engine restoration videos … documentaries and history … now you’ve given me a new branch of content to watch.

      I can both simultaneously thank you and curse for this information. Regardless, I’m happy to have met you.

        wo wo wo…

        maybe we should exchange some favourite content! youtube tends to smallen worlds…

        for one, i’m a big fan of “history for GRANITE”, who provides some really interesting interpretations with regard to the actual physical building of the pyramids. hard to find good thinkers in a commercial sea of schemes.

          I try to be careful and selective of the channels I watch … especially when it comes to research, history and documentaries … I prefer actual presenters or at least their voice overs and a description of who they are, what they’ve done and a bit of info of who they are (so that I can go on to research and verify for myself who they are) … if I can’t place a name or identity to them or their background, then I usually don’t watch them.

          I’ve gone away from most modern Egyptology channels because they so very often drift into either the super natural, the unbelievable or just outright conspiracy theory territories.

          I like watching nonsense stuff like restoration videos … they’re not hard to watch … but I do watch out for the new generation of content creators like the Asian ones who dump a sewing machine in the mud for a month and miraculously find it in a swamp and bring it back to new

          For the past few months I’ve been slowly going through ‘Fall of Civilizations’ … a well researched channel with a presenter I trust and the content is well versed and full of details I’ve never heard or read before … it feels like an academic lecture with the most inspiring, entertaining and concise speaker you can find. I find this type of channel very relaxing.

            thanks a ton - i’m definitely going to check out “fall of civilizations” - it sounds like it’s completely right in my alley. i’ll reiterate that you could also check out “history for GRANITE”. he’s exactly the opposite of what you describe in your paragraph about modern Egyptology channels. i promise.
