Just a few days ago, anti-ICE protesters shut down a major highway in Los Angeles because they object to deportations.
The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech and protests, but not walking out onto highways and restricting the movement of other people. Sometime in recent years, the left decided that it liked this tactic and they use it all the time.
Now, Republican Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia is planning to reintroduce a bill that would make this a federal crime. This is long overdue.
I will soon reintroduce legislation to make blocking a highway intentionally a federal crime. First Hamas supporters, now illegals and their enablers, are stopping traffic. To make America safe again, we must have law and order. https://t.co/cAp8Z5nUbI

Collins first introduced this bill in February of last year. It had the backing of then-Senator Marco Rubio.

Collins to Introduce House Companion Bill to Criminalize Intentional Obstruction of Interstate Highways
Today, Representative Mike Collins (R-Ga.) announced that he will introduce the House Companion to S. 192, the Safe Passage on Interstates Act, legislation that would make the intentional obstruction of interstate highways illegal.
The bill was first introduced in the Senate by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) on January 31, 2023.
Rep. Mike Collins said, “This legislation is critical for the freedom of transportation and safety on our roads. Millions of Americans depend on interstate highways to conduct everyday activities. By blocking and impeding traffic, protestors risk not only their safety but the safety of others and impede first responders from reaching community emergencies. This bill gives law enforcement the tools necessary to deal with people who intentionally block highways like the pro-Hamas activists who caused mass traffic disruption across D.C. earlier this month.”
Sen. Marco Rubio said, “Pro-Hamas radicals and other protesters who block highways disrupt law-abiding Americans from driving to work, school buses from getting kids to school, and ambulances from getting to the hospital. Several states already prohibit this conduct; however, there is no federal law against this type of stunt. It’s time for Congress to do its part. We need to make sure people face criminal penalties for blocking interstate systems that we all rely on.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
