US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shared an epic clip announcing the rollout of a new registration system to root out fraud in the federal trucking registration system.

The video features scenes from classic movies, including Superbad, White Chicks, and The Benchwarmers, trolling the ridiculous past standards that have allowed illegal aliens and fraudsters to hide their identities and apply for a federal trucking registration number.

“FRAUDSTERS CAN RUN, BUT THEY CAN’T DRIVE,” Duffy wrote in a social media post. “Illegal truckers and shady carriers are getting caught in REAL-TIME.”

“Nice try, McTRUCKIN,” he added.

WATCH:

The Department of Transportation estimated that there are “several thousand suspicious registration numbers tied to fraudulent carriers.” The new system employs biometrics and modern data analytics to verify the identity of registrants and that their businesses are legitimate, legal entities.

This is the latest move in the Trump Administration’s war on fraud and illegal aliens with commercial driver’s licenses.

Blue states are known for giving driver’s licenses and commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens to wreak havoc across the nation in defiance of the federal government.

US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced last month that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is withholding $73,502,543 in federal highway funds from New York State over its refusal to revoke thousands of illegally issued CDLs from illegal aliens.

According to a press release on the new systems, “This state-of-the-art tool — called Motus: the U.S. DOT Registration System — replaces a decades-old network of loosely connected applications rife with fraud, waste, and abuse.”

“Previously, bad actors applying for a federal trucking registration number could easily hide their identity, game the system, and endanger American families on the road. It’s estimated that there are several thousand suspicious registration numbers tied to fraudulent carriers,” the release continues.

“Dangerous foreign drivers and the shell companies who employ them have been taking advantage of this lax, decrepit federal registration system for years. The lack of accountability is disturbing, and it’s killed American families on our roads,” Duffy said in a statement.

“Thanks to President Trump, we are delivering a new registration system that will stop fraud dead in its tracks and strengthen oversight on shady carriers. And for good, honest drivers who follow the rules  — our new system will improve customer service, enhance reliability, and cut down on red tape. Today marks another important milestone in our crusade to make America’s roads safer, and it reflects the Trump Administration’s commitment to cracking down on fraud wherever it hides.”

“FMCSA’s registration modernization effort represents a major advancement in how the agency oversees and supports the commercial motor vehicle industry,” Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator (FMCSA) Derek D. Barrs said.

“This system improves efficiency for legitimate carriers while strengthening FMCSA’s ability to detect fraud, improve data quality, and identify unsafe operators.”

Why the Current Registration System Is Failing

For decades, commercial trucking in America has been overseen by a fractured, legacy IT system. This outdated registration system operates on a low-barrier, minimal-validation framework – making it alarmingly simple for fraudsters to register as motor carriers. All they needed was an email, name, and physical address.

This vulnerability is compounded by the fact that trucking registration and compliance data are scattered across five or six disconnected applications. This patchwork has created rampant data sprawl, critical information silos, and systemic blind spots. It’s the perfect storm that lets bad drivers and fraudulent companies easily shed their negative safety records, spin up new corporate identities, and evade federal oversight.

The result? These high-risk “chameleon” and reincarnated carriers are unleashing unsafe trucks onto American roadways and exposing the public to preventable, catastrophic risks.

How Motus Will Stop Fraud

Motus is designed to definitively end decades of technological fragmentation by introducing the first unified registration platform in the agency’s history. This modernized platform collapses the agency’s fragmented legacy infrastructure into a single, secure digital dashboard, permanently eliminating the data silos that illicit operators once exploited.

For bad actors – the days of cycling registration numbers are over. By integrating mandatory identity verification protocols (utilizing government-issued IDs and digital facial scans) alongside robust third-party business validation, Motus effectively suffocates fraud at the point of registration.

For legitimate fleets, freight brokers, and forwarders, Motus eliminates administrative friction by streamlining the entire registration lifecycle, from initial filing to biennial updates, into a mobile-friendly, cohesive user experience.

This shift makes regulatory compliance intuitive for honest motor carriers, while permanently shutting down the loopholes that allowed chameleon and reincarnated carriers to compromise public safety.

Additional Information on Motus:

Motus includes several major enhancements designed to improve service, strengthen oversight, and support industry compliance:

• Enhanced Fraud Prevention and Identity Verification – Improved validation and verification tools help prevent bad actors from exploiting the registration process or evading enforcement.

• Streamlined User Experience – Applicants and registrants can complete registration activities through a simplified online process designed to reduce confusion, improve transparency, and shorten processing times.

• Improved Data Quality and System Reliability – Modernized infrastructure improves the accuracy, consistency, and accessibility of registration data for FMCSA, state partners, and law enforcement.

• Better Support for Enforcement and Safety Oversight – Enhanced data tools help FMCSA identify unsafe operators and strengthen oversight of high-risk carriers.

• Scalable, Modern Technology – The updated system positions FMCSA to adapt more effectively to future operational, enforcement, and customer service needs.

“Today, we pause to remember the Americans who laid down their lives in service to our nation,” Kamala Harris said in a caption with a photo of Arlington National Cemetery.

“May we always honor their legacy and support the loved ones they left behind,” Harris said.

Kamala Harris got roasted for her post.

I know you think the “long weekend” is a chance to post a pic of yourself and get some mimosas as you plan to rip our country apart but it’s actually a time to appreciate the brave soldiers who died for our country & to reflect on the LIFETIME their families spend without them.

The latest Iranian Ayatollah is in hiding with little access to the outside world. He is in hiding since he was reportedly injured in US and Israeli bombing campaigns.

The prolonged absence of Mojtaba leaves room for different rumors.

Ever since the start of the military confrontation between the US and Israel against Iran, a mystery surrounds the situation regarding the new Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

In his absence, a flurry of rumors and reports is going around saying that he is dead, or else very gravely wounded; he is also said to be gay and disowned by his late father.

Today, a new report arises that Mojtaba is ‘recovering from severe facial and leg injuries’ that he suffered in the airstrike that killed his father, sources in his inner circle told Reuters.

This weekend CBS is reporting that the ayatollah is in hiding since he was nearly blown apart at the start of the US-Iran War.

U.S. intelligence shows that Iran’s supreme leader is effectively holed up in an undisclosed location with little access to the outside world and is only reached by a labyrinth of couriers, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

The Iranian officials authorized to work with the Trump administration have been having a difficult time communicating inside of their own government system — and it’s a central reason why the details of a potential deal with Iran and past agreements have been slow to emerge.

President Trump woke up this Memorial Day in a fighting mood and had a message for his Democrat enemies after releasing a touching statement earlier this morning.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, Trump released a very moving Memorial Day statement this year, honoring the extraordinary service of selfless men and women who safeguard our liberty and preserve our way of life.

“The greatest fighting force the world has ever known is built upon the extraordinary service of selfless men and women who safeguard our liberty and preserve our way of life,” the statement reads in part, “Since the birth of our Nation nearly 250 years ago, countless souls have lost their lives in this noble and righteous pursuit. On Memorial Day, we honor these American heroes.”

“America endures in strength, power, and prosperity because of the awe-inspiring selflessness and valor of those in uniform willing to lay down their lives in its defense, “the statement continues. “From the frozen fields of Valley Forge and the beaches of Normandy to the jungles of Vietnam and the mountains of Afghanistan, the sacrifice across our Armed Forces is the foundation upon which our Republic stands.”

“Today, we especially remember the 13 members of the Joint Force who have fallen in support of Operation Epic Fury to defend our national security and preserve the blessings of liberty for future generations. These warfighters lost their lives for freedom’s cause, and we will never forget the cost.”

Over on Truth Social, however, Trump had a caustic message that will not make Democrats very happy because of how honest it is.

Notice how he uses a new nickname for the party as well: ‘Dumocrats.’

“Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year,” Trump wrote.

“God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Trump’s post reportedly refers to criticism over a possible peace deal to end the Iran War, which Democrats and RINOS have blasted.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Trump has said there is a “largely negotiated” peace deal with Iran that awaits final approval from all parties. Axios claims it includes a 60-day ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and continued negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program, according to US officials familiar with the discussions.

Trump, though, does not want to rush into the deal and suggested that the reporting is off.

“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon,” he wrote on Truth Social.

“Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet. So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about.”

Germany’s self-imposed economic decline is no longer a warning—it is now visible in hard data, as foreign investment collapses to its lowest level since the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

According to a new analysis by EY, reported on by various German media outlets, foreign direct investment projects fell for the eighth consecutive year in 2025, dropping to just 548. The figure marks a 17-year low and underscores a steady erosion of confidence in Europe’s largest economy.

The numbers represent a 10 percent decline from the previous year. But more importantly, they reflect a structural downward trend that has now persisted for nearly a decade.

Henrik Ahlers, head of EY Germany, issued a stark warning. “Germany is falling behind, and other European locations are developing significantly better,” he said.

The roots of the problem, for many analysts, stretch back years and years. Economic policy under Angela Merkel is increasingly being scrutinized for failing to modernize Germany’s economic model.

During her tenure, critics argue, Germany relied too heavily on legacy strengths. Structural reforms were delayed, while bureaucratic expansion continued largely unchecked.

The so-called “traffic light” coalition that followed has also come under fire, with critics suggesting its left-liberal, anti-nuclear energy policies compounded existing weaknesses rather than addressing them.

Energy policy has been a particular point of contention. Rising energy costs have significantly increased the burden on German industry.

At the same time, regulatory complexity has continued to grow. Businesses frequently cite bureaucracy as one of the main obstacles to investment.

“In Germany, high taxes, high labor costs, expensive energy, and paralyzing bureaucracy are stifling investment,” Ahlers said.

Despite repeated calls for reform, progress has been limited. Analysts note that many of the same issues have been discussed for years without meaningful resolution.

Now, the current government under Friedrich Merz faces mounting criticism. Expectations of a decisive shift in economic policy have yet to materialize.

The comparison with other European economies is increasingly unfavorable. France and the United Kingdom continue to attract more investment projects.

France led with 852 projects, followed by the UK with 730. Germany, once the dominant force, now lags behind.

This shift, unfortunately for Germany, reflects more than short-term fluctuations. It points to a broader loss of competitiveness within Europe.

Investors, as they always do, are vote with their capital. Many are choosing jurisdictions with simpler tax systems, lower costs, and more predictable regulation.

Germany’s industrial base is also under pressure—and has been for quite some time now. Since 2019, more than 245,000 industrial jobs have been lost.

The decline is particularly concerning given Germany’s historical reliance on manufacturing. Industrial strength has long been the backbone of the economy.

Corporate bankruptcies are also rising sharply. The Halle Institute reports the highest levels since 2005.

In the first quarter alone, 4,573 corporate insolvencies were recorded. That exceeds levels seen during the 2009 financial crisis.

The trend accelerated in March. Bankruptcies were 71 percent above the average seen in previous years.

These developments, for most people looking at the situation, are without a doubt interconnected. Weak investment, high costs, and declining competitiveness are reinforcing each other.

Germany’s global reputation is also suffering. Ahlers warned that the country’s image as an “economic rock” has been significantly damaged.

“Germany’s inability to reform has now become known worldwide,” he said. The statement reflects growing frustration among international investors.

The broader European context highlights the contrast. Other countries have moved more aggressively to modernize their economies.

Digitalization, tax reform, and streamlined administration have been priorities elsewhere. Germany, critics say, has lagged behind on all three fronts.

The consequences are becoming increasingly clear. Investment is declining, growth is slowing, and confidence is weakening.

The data tells a stark story. Germany’s economic model is under strain—and the cost of inaction is becoming increasingly visible.
