25 Years of Progression An  Overview and Review By Johnny White This year marks 25 years since Harley-Davidson first released a CVO, which stands for Custom Vehicle Operations. The Factory has always been known to chase the trends to ensure they are on the cutting edge as far as fit and functionality of the newest and latest customs. This usually translates to The Motor Company releasing a bike several years after it’s been offered to the public…but with a factory backing and warranty. One of the many things I’ve discovered over the years when customizing my bikes is that the cooler I make a bike look and the further I take it from stock form, the more of a headache the bike becomes. Honestly, I have ruined plenty of bikes to get the “look” I wanted only to regret the change and have to live with it. Since 2002 I have yet to own a stock Harley-Davidson and feel it was finished from the Factory…done.

Bob Andron walks his daughter down the aisle, even though he just met her. This heartwarming story of a father and a daughter meeting for the first time after 50 years began when Bob, who is a Vietnam veteran, had to leave Vietnam and his wife, Lin, in the early 1970s. Bob was a sergeant in the United States Air Force but was forced to leave the country without being able to stay in contact with her. Lin was pregnant with their daughter Linda Throng at the time. RELATED: Father and Daughter Dance at Wedding, Recreating a Heartfelt Moment from 30 Years Ago Bob Had to Leave Vietnam In today’s world, it is way too easy to find and talk to anyone. It was a different story 50 years ago. Over the years, Bob wondered what happened to Lin and the baby. He then received a call from a genealogist, Kristee Mays, who specializes in reuniting veterans with their lost biological family members. “Linda was born after I left Vietnam. I had been married to her mother,” Bob shares. “And her mother was six months pregnant when I was forced to leave and come to the United States. And she wondered all of her life where I was. As soon as the genealogist matched them as father and daughter, they arranged to meet right away. It Was a Beautiful Reunion When they finally meet, Linda approaches Bob as he walks out of his house, covering his eyes. “I can open ’em?” he asks, and then he does, with the biggest smile on his face. The two give each other the biggest hug. RELATED: They Said His Daughter Died In A Car Crash, But Father Prays And Discovers Police Were Wrong “When I see him for the first time. I was, I don’t have any, no other question. I knew right away. That’s my dad,” Linda says about meeting Bob. “It’s taken a long time, hasn’t it?” Bob tells her. “It was so special. It was amazing. She told me something that really tugged my heart, and that was that she just wanted to take care of me,” Bob shared. “And that’s an amazing thing to hear from someone that didn’t even know me.” Linda Told Bob She Would Call Him Every Day Linda told Bob that she would call him almost every day to make up for those 50 missing years. A few months after the meeting, Linda asked Bob if he would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. Although they did not have this particular tradition in Vietnam, where she grew up, she had seen it in movies and wanted to ask her dad to do so if she ever got married again and found him. On Linda’s wedding day, Bob got to walk his daughter down the aisle. “That brings tears to my eyes because it is so, so unbelievable. There’s no way to even describe it except to say it has made me so happy from the first moment that I found out about it,” Bob says.

President Trump warned John Deere Monday he would slap them with a 200% tariff if the company moves some of its manufacturing to Mexico. Trump made the comments while speaking to farmers at a policy roundtable in Smithton, Pennsylvania. “I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors, I know a lot about John Deere. I love the company, but as you know, they announced a few days ago that they’re gonna move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico,” Trump said. “I’m just notifying John Deere right now. If you do that, we’re putting a 200% tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States so that if I win, John Deere is going to be paying 200%,” he continued. “It’s hurting our farmers. It’s hurting our manufacturing,” he added. “If they want to build in the country and the United States, there’s no tariff,” he said.

The response was that, thanks to larger farms now operating, total production is actually up but “we are losing the small family farms.” “I know that, yes,” Trump responded somberly. Later, he said, “I am not too worried about the people around this table” supporting him on Election Day, while jokingly adding, “But you never know.” In response to another participant’s concerns about energy production, Trump said he didn’t know that farmers were so energy-dependent. Another farmer talked about Chinese-subsidized businesses, prompting Trump to respond, “That’s why we need tariffs.” After the same farmer finished her comments by praising him profusely, he intoned: “Amen. I agree.” BREAKING: Former President Trump warns John Deere that if the company moves manufacturing to Mexico, he will impose a 200% tariff on the products it imports into the United States. pic.twitter.com/WBkZgVt19Z — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) September 24, 2024 John Deere previously announced it would move the manufacturing of skid steer loaders and compact track loaders to Mexico by 2026.

The company is slashing around 280 workers from a plant in East Moline, Illinois, while another 230 employees are being let go at a factory in Davenport, Iowa. About 100 production employees at the company’s Dubuque, Iowa, plant will also be impacted. All layoffs are said to be effective from Aug. 30, the company tells FOX Business. The layoffs are being made due to reduced demand for John Deere’s products from those factories. The company says it generated $10.166 billion in profits last year. “We can confirm Deere leadership recently communicated that rising operational costs and declining market demand requires enterprise-wide changes in how work gets done to achieve our goals and best position the company for the future,” a statement from John Deere reads.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (SCAAP). “President Zelenskyy made a special trip to the Keystone State to visit the Pennsylvania workers who are playing a vital role in Ukraine’s defense. During the visit, President Zelenskyy spoke with workers at SCAAP – a U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC) facility that manufactures large-caliber metal projectiles and mortar projectiles for the U.S. Department of Defense – and thanked them for their efforts. SCAAP specifically builds 155-millimeter howitzer rounds, some of the most vital equipment for Ukraine’s defense against Russia,” the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development wrote in a press release. “We must all do our part in the fight for freedom — from the workers in Scranton who make Pennsylvania the arsenal of democracy to the brave Ukrainian soldiers protecting their country. We stand with Ukraine in their just defense of their homeland in the face of Russian aggression,” Shapiro wrote. The Democrat governor signed the artillery shells, placing his name on weapons of war.

Haley visited Israel where she met with survivors of the October 7, 2023, Hamas’ attack. She then traveled to the country’s northern border with a member of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, Danny Danon, who posted pictures on X which showed Haley signing her name with the message, “Finish Them! America [Heart drawing] Israel” on artillery shells. On Sunday’s ammunition factory visit, Zelensky thanked employees for helping to supply Ukraine with ammunition amid the war with Russia. Zelensky detailed the visit in a post on X, writing “Scranton, Pennsylvania. I visited a plant that manufactures 155 mm artillery shells. Now, for our warriors who are defending not only our country, not only Ukraine, the plant will be ramping up production. “I began my visit to the United States by expressing my gratitude to all the employees at the plant and by reaching agreements to expand cooperation between Pennsylvania and our Zaporizhzhia [region].”

Former President Donald Trump promised at a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday to cut energy and electricity prices in half in 12 months if elected president in November.  Trump made the comments during a rally in the town of Indiana where he focused on the economy, immigration, and energy, which polls show are his strongest issues. The event took place at the Ed Fry Arena at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex with a crowd of about 5,000 as hundreds waited outside.  “It’s great to be back in this beautiful commonwealth with thousands of proud, hard-working American patriots,” Trump said. “We’re here today because early voting begins in Pennsylvania over the next two weeks, and we need each and every one of you. Don’t take anything for granted. We have to win Pennsylvania.” During the speech, which came after several other campaign stops in Pennsylvania, Trump ripped into the Biden-Harris energy policies, including a liquid natural gas export ban. The ban is on hold after a coalition of Republican attorneys general sued to block it.  “I will terminate the natural gas export ban, which makes it impossible for you to sell your product to a lot of countries that want it desperately,” Trump said, promising to get Pennsylvania workers “pumping, fracking, drilling and producing like never before.” He also promised to lower energy prices, which have increased dramatically since President Joe Biden took office.  “If you vote for me, I will cut your energy and electricity prices in half within 12 months,” Trump said. “We have more liquid gold under our feet and we’re buying oil from Venezuela. We don’t need it at all. It’s crazy!” Trump also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her apparent flip-flop on fracking, which she previously promised to ban when running for president back in 2019.  “If anybody here believes that she will let your energy industry continue – like fracking – you should immediately go to a psychiatrist and have your head examined,” Trump said.  Am I Racist?

Trump also focused much of his speech on illegal immigration and the influx of migrants into small towns across the country, prompting some in the crowd to chant, “Send them back.”  Trump has a crowd chanting “send them back” about the Haitians in Springfield pic.twitter.com/dOqYwGWrKh — captive dreamer (@captivedreamer7) September 24, 2024 “It takes centuries to build the unique character of each state,” Trump said. “But reckless migration policy can change it very quickly and it can destroy everything in its way just like we’ve seen in London, and Paris, and Minneapolis.” “If Kamala Harris wins this election, she will flood Pennsylvania cities and towns with illegal migrants from all over the world—and Pennsylvania will never be the same,” he added. “When I’m president, all migrant flights to Pennsylvania will stop immediately.” Republican Senate candidate David McCormick also appeared at the rally, saying his campaign against Democratic Senator Bob Casey was a “battle between common sense” and “radical liberal policies.” Trump’s rally came after earlier stops on Monday at a grocery store in Kittanning and a South Huntingdon farm. Pennsylvania is one of the key battleground states expected to determine the outcome of the 2024 election. RELATED: Trump Buys Groceries For Pennsylvania Mom, Promises To Bring Prices Down
