A viral video of a semi-truck barreling the wrong way down a Missouri highway has ignited fresh outrage over whether blue-state licensing practices are putting ordinary families in the crosshairs. What the Video Shows—and What’s Confirmed So Far Posts spreading on February 25–26, 2026, describe dashcam-style footage showing a semi-truck traveling for miles in the wrong direction on a Missouri highway, reportedly above 40 mph. The video’s core takeaway is straightforward: an oncoming tractor-trailer creates a split-second life-or-death hazard for anyone driving legally in their lane. The available research reports no injuries, but official incident details are not provided. The same coverage says the truck is owned by a Minnesota man identified as Abdiwali Ahmed, and that a Minnesota-issued Commercial Driver’s License is part of the online discussion. A key limitation remains unresolved in the material provided: ownership does not prove who was behind the wheel in Missouri. Without an official statement or police report included in the research, that distinction matters for accuracy and accountability. How Social Media Turned a Highway Scare Into a Licensing Fight Conservative influencers and commenters rapidly framed the wrong-way semi as evidence of systemic failure, focusing on Minnesota’s licensing and enforcement culture under Democratic leadership. Several posts cited in the research specifically blame Minnesota officials and claim the driver could not read basic road signs. Those claims are politically potent, but the underlying research does not provide primary documentation—such as a test record, citation, or agency confirmation—to substantiate them. This is where readers should separate two issues. First, wrong-way driving by a commercial vehicle is inherently dangerous, regardless of the driver’s background, and it demands a serious law-enforcement response. Second, allegations about language proficiency and testing standards may be legitimate policy questions, but the available material leans heavily on social-media assertions rather than verifiable records. That gap is exactly why Americans are skeptical after years of narrative-driven “fact patterns.” The Policy Problem: Interstate Risk From State-Level Decisions Even without proving the most inflammatory claims, the incident highlights a basic reality: a CDL issued in one state can put an 80,000-pound vehicle on roads across the entire country. That interstate reach is why conservatives argue that licensing cannot be treated like a local political experiment. When a state’s standards, oversight, or enforcement are questioned, the consequences don’t stop at the state line—especially on heavily traveled corridors where families, commuters, and truckers share the same lanes. The research also notes that Minnesota has a large Somali immigrant community and that trucking is a common occupation, in part because it offers accessible employment. That broader context matters because it can easily become fuel for blanket stigma. Still, the public-safety question remains fair: are regulators consistently ensuring that every commercial driver can follow signage, understand enforcement instructions, and safely operate under pressure? The provided reporting does not include official answers. What’s Missing: Official Confirmation, Charges, and Basic Case Details As of the information summarized in the research, there is no confirmed public record of an arrest, a filed charge, or a detailed statement from Missouri authorities. The story’s momentum largely comes from reposts and commentary, with some references to “USDOT” records not shown directly in the citation provided. That means readers should treat certain elements—especially claims about failed language testing or an inability to read signs—as unverified until documentation is produced. BREAKING: The truck seen going high speeds the WRONG WAY down a Missouri highway is owned by a SOMALI IN MINNESOTA named Abdiwali Ahmed SHOCKER! Tim Walz's Minnesota granted the driver a license, and he can't even read ROAD SIGNS. It's time to TOTALLY DEFUND Minnesota.… pic.twitter.com/eqEbpDtMn4 — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) February 26, 2026 For conservatives who watched the previous administration downplay border chaos, brush off crime concerns, and treat accountability as optional, the frustration is understandable. But the strongest argument for reform is the one built on hard facts: verified incident reports, confirmed driver identity, and transparent testing and enforcement data. If those documents ultimately show negligence or loopholes, the case for tightening CDL oversight—state and federal—will be far harder for bureaucrats to dodge.

REUTERS—Global airlines suspended flights across the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, plunging the region into a renewed military confrontation. Flight maps showed the airspace over Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel and Bahrain virtually empty as Israel said it struck Iran and the U.S. military initiated a series of strikes against targets in the country. Iran retaliated with a salvo of missiles. Airlines have cancelled almost 40% of flights to Israel and 6.7% of flights to the broader region on Saturday, according to preliminary Cirium data. Witnesses told Reuters about explosions across the Gulf, including in Qatar’s Doha, which hosts the biggest U.S. military base in the Middle East, as well as Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The escalation dimmed hopes for a diplomatic solution to Tehran’s nuclear dispute with the West and reignited conflict after weeks of U.S. military buildup in the region. Busiest in the World It marks the latest upheaval for air travel in the usually busy region amid escalating tensions. Airports in the Middle East are some of the busiest in the world, covering an area stretching from Iran and Iraq to the Mediterranean and serving as a connecting hub for flights between Europe and Asia. The region has also taken on a more important role since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has forced airlines to avoid airspace over both countries. Conflict zones are an increasing operational burden on airlines as aerial attacks raise worries about accidental or deliberate shoot-downs of commercial air traffic. Longer flight times also require more fuel, adding to their costs. Israel, Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan closed their airspace following the attacks and a map of the region on Flightradar24 showed planes avoiding these areas.  British Airways, Lufthansa, Wizz Air Suspend Flights The European Union’s aviation regulator EASA on Saturday recommended its airlines stay out of the airspace affected by the ongoing military intervention. British Airways, owned by IAG, said it was monitoring the situation and had cancelled flights to Tel Aviv and Bahrain until March 3, as well as Saturday’s flights to Amman. The Russian Ministry of Transport said on Saturday that Russian air carriers had suspended flights to Iran and Israel. Germany’s Lufthansa said it was suspending flights to and from Dubai on Saturday and Sunday and halting temporarily the Tel Aviv, Beirut and Oman routes until March 7. Air France cancelled flights to and from Tel Aviv and Beirut. Iberia also cancelled flights to Tel Aviv, while Wizz Air suspended flights to and from Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Amman with immediate effect until the same date, it said. Passengers and airlines can expect airspace to be shut for some time in the region. It’s also important to look at the tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan as that will limit airspace even further, said Eric Schouten, head of aviation security advisory Dyami.  “With hostilities now underway, the impact on regional aviation is immediate and highly fluid,” he said. “We also anticipate precautionary evacuations or temporary shutdowns at select Gulf airports if the threat envelope expands, which would immediately disrupt key transit hubs,” he noted. Various Indian airlines, including Air India, also suspended flights to the Middle East.  Regional Carriers Affected Regional airspace closures have disrupted several Emirates flights, the Dubai-based carrier said, while its sister airline flydubai said it had temporarily suspended operations on Saturday “due to the ongoing developments in the region.” Qatar Airways and Kuwait Airways temporarily suspended flights, while Turkish Airlines also cancelled flights to several Middle Eastern destinations. Kuwait’s aviation authority said it was halting all flights to Iran until further notice, according to the state news agency, while Oman Air said it had suspended all flights to Baghdad due to the regional developments. KLM, the Dutch arm of Air France-KLM, has brought forward the suspension of its Amsterdam–Tel Aviv service, cancelling the flight scheduled for Saturday after strikes in Iran, a spokesperson said. The airline had announced on Wednesday that flights would be halted from Sunday, March 1. Only one flight to Tel Aviv had been scheduled for Saturday. Virgin Atlantic said it had decided to temporarily avoid Iraqi airspace, resulting in some re-routing of its flights.

REUTERS—Israel banned public gatherings, shut schools and workplaces and moved hospital patients to underground facilities on Saturday as Tehran launched missiles toward Israel in retaliation for a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. Defence Minister Israel Katz declared a state of emergency across the country, warning the public of Iranian missile and drone attacks. The military ordered the public to follow emergency guidance as it announced tens of thousands of reservists were being called up for service, including to reinforce its land borders. The police urged against non-essential travel so as to allow security and emergency vehicles to move freely. Protected by a sophisticated air defence system, some Israelis went to the beach in Tel Aviv on Saturday ahead of the initial Iranian response, saying they felt safe and voicing support for an operation against Iran. ‘It’s About Time’ “It’s about time,” said Shira Dorany as she took a walk along Tel Aviv’s Mediterranean-front promenade. “I don’t want to wait anymore for what’s coming. Now, it’s coming. Let’s finish it.” There were few reports of damage or injuries from Iran’s initial missile barrages. Israelis generally have access to bomb shelters and are warned to rush to them by a nationwide alert system. Israel and Iran last year faced off in an aerial war, after Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran in June that the United States later joined. The war lasted 12 days, killing over 30 people in Israel and more than 900 in Iran. Tel Aviv, where several military sites are located, suffered multiple strikes during last year’s war, as did parts of southern Israel where there are some military bases. Israel on Saturday closed its airspace to civilian flights though land borders with Egypt and Jordan remained open, according to a spokesperson from the airport authority. Shelter in Place The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem said government personnel had been advised to shelter in place, after on Friday warning staff they should leave the country if they wished to. In Jerusalem, people were seen rushing to buy food and withdraw money as explosions from missile interceptions echoed across the city. At the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, medical workers were moving entire hospital wards underground. “(Sheba) switched to advanced preparedness mode in preparation for the strike in Iran. We are in the process of moving all our departments and services into protected areas,” said Itai Pessach, the medical center’s director general. At the beach in Tel Aviv, Maayan Eliasi, 43, said Israeli strikes on Iran were necessary “to establish that we are strong.” “We are not scared, and we are here to protect our land.” Reporting by Rami Amichay, Alexander Cornwell and Pesha Magid; Editing by Rami Ayyub and Janet Lawrence.

Earlier this month, the Cato Institute — perhaps the most effective think tank advocating open borders — published a study claiming that since 1994, immigration has generated a whopping $14.5 trillion surplus in tax revenues over expenditures.Critics quickly noted that Cato’s study uses a strange standard for judging immigration policy. For example, the study admits that immigration drives up housing prices by increasing demand, yet it still treats the resulting rise in property-tax payments from homeowners — citizens and noncitizens alike — as a benefit.Who the ‘American people’ were in 1776 or 1787, or are in 2026, is a much-disputed question, but that does not exempt us from trying to answer it.But perhaps more fundamental is the study’s idea of what should count as an expenditure on immigrants. It treats the educational and medical expenses of immigrants’ American-born children — all of whom Cato claims are “birthright citizens” — as expenditures on citizens rather than on immigrants. This is the same kind of sleight of hand we saw during COVID, when the rise in illness experienced after the first of two shots was counted as cases among the unvaccinated rather than the half-vaccinated.Statistical games aside, such studies raise a far deeper question: To whose well-being, security, and liberty is the government of the United States directed? That is answered for us in the preamble to our fundamental law, the Constitution of 1787:We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.When I cited the preamble recently, the libertarian economist Glen Whitman replied that it is not binding law. Perhaps, but it is something more fundamental than law — it tells us what our laws should be trying to achieve.Who the “American people” were in 1776 or 1787, or are in 2026, is a much-disputed question, but that does not exempt us from trying to answer it.When John Rawls — the late political philosopher and the most influential liberal theorist of my generation — tried to explain how rational people should design society’s basic institutions, he did not treat civilization as nothing more than a collection of isolated individuals. In his famous “original position,” he argued that we should imagine ourselves not only as individuals but also as representatives of “continuing persons” — family heads, or stewards of enduring family lines.This concept of continuing persons was Rawls’ clunky but effective mid-20th-century version of Gouverneur Morris’ more eloquent “ourselves and our posterity.” It does not seem crazy or racist — Rawls would have said it was reasonable — to think that immigration policy should be assessed from the perspective of current citizens and their descendants. In fact, that was how the historical Rawls claimed we should think about immigration, much to the surprise and dismay of his students and epigones.On social media, we find the repeated cry that the so-called great replacement — the notion that elites are exchanging native populations for more tractable revenue producers — is a demagogic lie. After all, the open-borders pundits argue, more immigration doesn’t mean anybody is forced to leave.RELATED: America has immigration laws — just not in these courtrooms Cemile Bingol / Getty ImagesBut we are all forced to leave. Someday, each of us will be reunited with his or her fathers and mothers. Our descendants — the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren we leave behind in the country we made for them — are our posterity.Another problem is that mass immigration not only increases the demand for housing, but it also suppresses the wage expectations of the native-born, particularly native-born men who are low-income workers. By increasing housing prices and reducing lifetime wages, mass immigration erodes the economic foundation required for family life, making fewer native-born men marriageable. This decreases the fertility of the native-born. While an increasing share of children are born to unwed mothers, unwed parenting is sufficiently difficult that few such mothers have more than one child, and very few have more than two. Governments then trumpet studies like Cato’s to justify bringing in immigrants to support the aging natives who do not have enough of their own posterity to meet the fiscal need.To paraphrase Charles de Gaulle, the graveyards are full of irreplaceable men. But if we want our graves to be tended and our memories to be revered by our posterity, we need to work now to ensure that immigration policy serves the welfare, security, and liberty of that posterity. Those who continue the work of George Washington and the other founders by maintaining and passing on the union they built — stronger, more united, and free — may not be their blood relatives, but they can justly claim to be their spiritual progeny.A version of this article appeared originally at the American Mind.

The U.S. military struck Iran along with Israeli forces on Saturday morning and Iran lashed out with attacks on Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait.President Donald Trump issued a national statement about the military operation dubbed "Operation Epic Fury" late Friday evening.'The Israeli Air Force is operating to intercept and strike threats where necessary to remove the threat.'"The United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests," Trump said. "We're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally, again, obliterated."Sirens in Israel indicated that Iran launched a wave of missiles against the country but some reports said the effort was muted."A short while ago, sirens were sounded in several areas across the country following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel," read a statement from Israel. "At this time, the Israeli Air Force is operating to intercept and strike threats where necessary to remove the threat."The Ministry of the Interior in Bahrain ordered evacuations of some parts of the country, including Juffair.The United Arab Emirates said that the strike from Iran violated their sovereignty and they reserved their right to respond.Iran also launched missiles at the Al Udeid Air Base in Doha, Qatar, leading the country to condemn the attacks. Loud explosions and warning sirens were reported in Kuwait near the U.S. Army base. Several heavy explosions were also heard in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. Fox News reported that the strikes targeted the Iranian Parliament, the National Supreme Council, the Ministry of Intelligence, as well as the Iranian Atomic Agency.Russia also called for an immediate halt to the strikes on Iran and ordered all Russian citizens to leave Israel.RELATED: Iran strike looms as Trump hosts Board of Peace "To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police," Trump said in his speech. "I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative, face certain death."The regime in Iran has been facing political demonstrations from dissidents opposed to their totalitarian rule and some reports claim that tens of thousands have perished from the violent response. Trump had warned Iran that if they killed protesters, the U.S. would "come to their rescue."It appears that he fulfilled that promise. Like Blaze News?
