Dockworkers on the East and Gulf coasts approved a six-year contract on TUESDAY.

The deal averted a potential strike.

8newsnow.com reported:

Dockworkers on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts overwhelmingly approved a six-year contract Tuesday, averting the threat of a strike that could have crippled the economy.

The yes vote was expected after the leadership of the International Longshoremen’s Association union reached a tentative contract agreement in January with the U.S. Maritime Alliance of ports and shipping companies.

The alliance approved the contract last month, and on Tuesday rank-and-file members voted for it with nearly 99 percent in favor, the union said in a statement.

The contract calls for a 62% pay hike over six years that would lift hourly wages at the top of the union pay scale from $39 an hour to $63 an hour.

…

The union and the alliance also reached a truce on the most contentious labor issue on America’s docks: automation. The union worries that machines — especially semi-automated cranes — will replace human workers. Port operators and shipping companies argue that U.S. ports are falling behind more automated ones such as those in Rotterdam, Dubai and Singapore.

Trump celebrated the deal and thanked them for their support.

Truth Social:

Congratulations to the U.S. Dockworkers on your great new deal. Also, thank you for your overwhelming support in the Presidential Election. Slowing down automation, just a little bit, is an OK thing to do!!! DJT

Donald Trump said that, at some point, he plans to sue “dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general” to find out if “anonymous” or “off the record” sources actually exist.

Trump also said, “Who knows, maybe we will create some NICE NEW LAW!!!”

Truth Social:

As a President who is being given credit for having the Best Opening Month of any President in history, quite naturally, here come the Fake books and stories with the so-called “anonymous,” or “off the record,” quotes. At some point I am going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general, to find out whether or not these “anonymous sources” even exist, which they largely do not. They are made up, defamatory fiction, and a big price should be paid for this blatant dishonesty. I’ll do it as a service to our Country. Who knows, maybe we will create some NICE NEW LAW!!!

Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!

Vivek launched his bid for Governor on Monday.

Epoch Times reported:

Vivek Ramaswamy, the Cincinnati-born biotech entrepreneur who ran for president last year before leaving the race and supporting President Donald Trump, has launched a bid for Ohio governor.

His announcement on Feb. 24 had been anticipated for several weeks since the 39-year-old Ramaswamy left his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on the first day of Trump’s new term.

The Ohio native, who now lives in suburban Columbus, kicked off his candidacy at CTL Aerospace amid a crowd holding “Vivek for Ohio” signs. Many attendees wore pro-Trump and pro-DOGE apparel.

Donald Trump called for the Keystone XL pipeline to start being built.

Trump said, “Easy approvals, almost immediate start! If not them, perhaps another Pipeline Company. We want the Keystone XL Pipeline built!”

Truth Social:

Our Country’s doing really well, and today, I was just thinking, that the company building the Keystone XL Pipeline that was viciously jettisoned by the incompetent Biden Administration should come back to America, and get it built — NOW! I know they were treated very badly by Sleepy Joe Biden, but the Trump Administration is very different — Easy approvals, almost immediate start! If not them, perhaps another Pipeline Company. We want the Keystone XL Pipeline built!

According to a report published by the Biden Administration’s Department of Energy, the pipeline would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs.

Fox News reported:

In December 2022, the Biden administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) published a report that said the Keystone XL project would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4 and $9.6 billion, citing various studies.

“Joe Biden’s action cost tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars and every American family is still paying more every day,” Daniel Turner, the founder and executive director of Power the Future, shared with Fox News Digital in a previous statement.

The system was designed to carry oil from Alberta to states like Illinois, Texas and Oklahoma.

In January, Danielle Smith, the premier of Alberta, Canada, said that she was interested in talking to the Trump administration about potentially reopening the pipeline project.

Self-defense isn’t the end of the fight… it’s the beginning.

The “justice” system is where the next fight begins.

If you are someone who carries a firearm for self-defense…

If you are someone who believes they have a right to protect themselves and their family…

If you are someone who wants to unlock the information that just might save your freedom…
