President Trump handed out a round of pardons on the Fourth of July that lands right at the kitchen table for truckers, farmers, and small-shop mechanics.
He wiped out the convictions of nine people the federal government went after under the Clean Air Act for tampering with diesel emissions-control systems.
Most of them were diesel mechanics and tuners. The cases centered on diesel emissions modifications the Biden Justice Department treated as Clean Air Act crimes.
One of the men Trump pardoned is a Wasilla, Alaska mechanic and Air National Guard veteran named MacKenzie “Mac” Spurloc
Fox News reported that Trump announced six of the pardons on Truth Social and described the men as people prosecuted for repairing vehicles under the previous administration.
Eight of the recipients were diesel mechanics or car tuners accused of selling or installing so-called defeat devices in trucks.
Fox explained why this became more than an abstract regulatory fight. The devices at issue reprogram trucks to bypass federally required emissions controls and suppress diagnostic warnings, while emissions-system failures can also force diesel trucks into limp mode even when the engine itself is still running.
The technical piece here matters to anyone who actually drives a diesel for a living. Fox noted that limp mode can cut a truck’s speed to as little as 5 mph until the system is restored.
On a highway, a farm, or a remote job site, that turns a mechanical fault into a roadside hazard.
The Spurlock case shows why these prosecutions rubbed so many people the wrong way.
Sen. Dan Sullivan welcomed the full presidential pardon for Spurlock, calling him a Wasilla diesel mechanic, small business owner, and Alaska Air National Guard veteran.
Sullivan said the Biden EPA raided Matanuska Diesel in June 2022 with dozens of armed agents plus personnel from other federal agencies flown in from California, Washington, and Oregon.
Dozens of armed agents. For emissions modifications on diesel trucks, in a case involving a small business owner who wanted to return to the Alaska Air National Guard.
Sullivan pointed to the cold-weather reality that Washington regulators rarely confront. Emissions systems can trigger shutdowns when a fault is detected, and cold weather can make DEF-related components struggle to reach or hold operating temperature.
He cited the Dalton Highway as an example of where those failures can turn genuinely dangerous. When your truck quits on a remote Alaska road in the cold, that is a survival problem, not a paperwork problem.
Sullivan also tied Spurlock’s pardon to the larger cold-weather fight he has been pressing in Congress. His office pointed to the Cold Weather Diesel Reliability Act, a bill meant to force EPA to account for how diesel engines and emissions systems actually behave in places like Alaska instead of treating every state like the same test lab.
The full scope of the clemency went a little further than the Clean Air Act cases.
CBS News reported that a White House official confirmed 11 pardons in all after the White House expanded the initial list beyond the six people first mentioned publicly.
The list included Ryan and Wade Lalone, Matt Geouge, Tim Clancy, Mac Spurlock, Joshua Davis, Barry Pierce, Aaron Rudolf, Adam Kidan, Jack Harvard, and Jonathan Achtemeier.
CBS also reported that the Justice Department earlier this year had already ordered prosecutors to drop pending prosecutions and investigations tied to aftermarket defeat devices.
That timeline matters. The pardons did not appear out of nowhere on a holiday weekend; they followed months of pressure from advocates, earlier clemency for Wyoming mechanic Troy Lake, and a broader Trump administration decision to back away from criminal enforcement in this lane.
So the clemency came on top of a wider pullback from the enforcement campaign that swept these men up in the first place.
Oh, so now I’m a bot?, how convenient for you, just when a thinking person exposes your idiocy and hypocrisy. You do realise that it was you, who came charging in against my comment? that it was you who stimulated my response to you? If not for your self-righteous interruption it would have been just another comment, albeit, written by someone who doesn’t parrot your group fantasies.
.
Unlike the usual Aussies I deal with, It is now clear that you are an exceptionally ignorant Australian. Your response to everything consists of immature outbreaks of irrational emotionality. This is a Third World mentality.
.
Like many of today’s feeble-minded white men, your words are now the lingua franca of your own capital deficient caste. As your own capital derives from your labour [the second of Marx’s three principles of Land, Labour and Capital], your capital helplessness can only exacerbate as the new economy replaces the old.
.
The exponential rate in which digital Capital can expand in cyberspace is infinite, so it is this capital that will finance the future humanity: a new humanity whose evolutionary intent is that of an interplanetary species. This demands a new currency and new economy.
.
Your finite Land and Labour simply cannot compete with the infinity of pure Capital. When this is fully released [the seed capital is already in issue], the capitalist owners of this Capital will be the people of the First World. Those whose income derives from Land and Labour will belong to the respective economic Second and Third Worlds. This is simply because their income can never outpace the infinite scale of pure twenty-first century digital Capital.
.
Because your income is most certainly derived from your labour, which can never be scaled up due to the physical limitations of a working day, you and your descendants will quickly be relegated to twenty-first century Third World economic status. This relegation process is already underway, which is why you must now purchase your goods from Second or Third World economies as you can no longer afford First World consumer goods. This is only the beginning.
.
This is why your words are the expressed helplessness of a person who knows its own words to be meaningless.
.
But not to worry, whilst we’re intent upon becoming an interplanetary species, your kind will still have your Disco-Dancing.

‘Your communist (social democrat) are not one and the same,’
.
Another neurotic emotional outburst. If the concept is currently understood as such, which it is, then the reference is understood as such.
.
‘Your Democrat party are the liberals of American politics.’
.
Please stop now, your just making yourself look even more ignorant. The Democrat Party is the name given to the Labour Party.
.
The basic premise stems from the two original English political parties, the Conservative (Republican) and Labour (Democrat) parties. When Marx came along he divided the economy into three segments, Land, Labour and Capital. Land was politically represented by the Conservative Party, Labour was politically represented by the Labour Party, whilst Capital operated in a new centrist capacity.
.
In the currently emerging technological age the new economy exists in cyberspace and its the biggest economy in human history, hence, there is no further need for Land or Labour. So what remains?, yes of course, – Capital.
.
The economy of the current technological Industrial Revolution will be built upon capital. It will be pure capitalism. As your income is generated via your labour, guess who’s going to get shafted? You will not like what’s coming your way.
.
You will soon have plenty more to cry about.
🇺🇸
Yes it’s probably best that you sign off now.
.
What you fail to realise is that you have to buy cheap from China because you are already poor within your own nation. You are a victim of wealth redistribution to China via inflation.
.
If you had maintained your self worth within your own national economy, you would not have to buy from a second world economy. All this shows is that your personal purchasing power declined long time. At the same time Chinese consumers are buying within your economy where you cannot afford to do so.
.
Boasting about being priced out of your own market and the manifest poverty associated with that is not a good sign, but at least you can still afford your disco-dancing.
.
Looks like the bromide won its stupid prize.

‘Equating a human persona with capitalism reveals a small minded ignorance of the highest order. But when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.’ — Yankee D.D.D.
Any visitor to Cairns News who has read my comments on other articles understands my thoughts on CAPITALISATION Yankee persona ficta/ae.
Autographing off.
Your communist (social democrat) are not one and the same, Yankee Doodle.
They are two seperate liberal ideologies.
Your Democrat party are the liberals of American politics.
Your war criminal leader was a member of the Democrat Party and a Democrat Party donor, a member of in your words, “western liberal elite and their faggy support base”.
It appears striking Iran this past week, was another attempt to divert media attention away from judgements made on the very faggy Epstein Files just hours prior.
Trump would be proud of you supporting the Epstein Class, his party party mates.
I guess what your trying articulate is that you’re somewhat retarded. Because that’s how it comes across. Its like whatever subject you tried talking about never seemed to be the subject you were actually discussing?
.
This was made abundantly clear when talking about the past (Detroit), whilst trying to pin it on the present administration? Are you really that detached from reality? I guess you must be or you wouldn’t have penned it.
.
Equating a human persona with capitalism reveals a small minded ignorance of the highest order. But when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
.
You do realise that buying cheap Chinese goods means that your Australian dollars are being offshored to China? You do realise that don’t you? And then what happens? Yes disco-dancing Aussie genius, China then uses your capital to buy up Australian land. And they done very well indeed. But they also buy Aussie bonds.
.
I guess like most people, you haven’t got a clue how the treasury markets actually work: they are admittedly complex. But I’d guess China was loading up on AU 10 Y’s a long time ago, – with your money. Thats just how it works.
.
A quick glance at your AU 10’s, shows that China bought at the right time in the bond cycle. So they’ve increased their capital handsomely at your expense. So well done idiot, – I guess that’s why you can’t stop dancing for joy?. You obviously don’t realise what the next stage of the bond cycle means do you?. Either way, whatever your bank decides to do, there’s only two options, your economy’s going to get slaughtered. You do realise that don’t you?
.
So after your initial post about political ideology, you now claim that ‘political ideology doesn’t concern me.’ So why did you comment on things which don’t concern you? The sum of irrationality is stunning.
.
So what we can conclude is that your comment was simply an outburst of runaway emotions. A neurotic release triggered by the mention of an American statesmen.
.
With that said, those governed by rational thought and unaffected by the neurosis of emotional outbursts know that money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. It will give you the means for the satisfaction of your desires, but it will not provide you with desires. Money is the scourge of men who attempt to reverse the law of causality – the men who seek to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind.
.
Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent. The man who attempts to purchase the brains of his superiors to serve him, with his money replacing judgement, ends up becoming the victim of his inferiors. The men of intelligence desert him, but the Socialist cheats and frauds come flocking to him, drawn by a law which he has not yet discovered: – that no man may be smaller than his money. Is this the reason why you call it evil?
.
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth – the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started. If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him: if not, it destroys him. But you look on and cry that money corrupted him. Did it? Or did he corrupt his money? So, do not envy a worthless heir: his wealth is not yours and you would have done no better with it.
.
Do not think that it should have been distributed among you: loading the world with a hundred parasites instead of one, would not bring back the dead virtue which was the fortune.
.
Money is your means of survival. So, the verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence.
Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men’s stupidity? By catering to fools in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a penny’s worth of joy. Because all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reminder of shame. Then you’ll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money? of capital?, and its social expression as capitalism?
.
The problem with you Socialists is that your existence, your whole unconscious being, revolves around your ignorance of the hidden law, – that no man may be smaller than his money.
.
But not to worry Aussie, we’ve got a few Capitalists at the helm now. A few days ago one wrote on his Truth Social page (6/25/2026): – [quote]. ‘The Communists are finally making their move. I’ve been waiting and preparing for this for a long time. Its easy to be a Communist [politician] – All you have to do is say, – ”I’ll give you everything,’ – but that means your taking it away from others that have earned it. Over thousands of years, that ideology has not worked. The game is on. Enjoy watching! Presdent Donald J. Trump.’ [unquote].

Political ideology and religious beliefs don’t concern me Yank.
.
A man or woman’s actions in how they treat others does; it defines their character and political standing.
.
It reflects badly on a propagandised nation of indoctrinates, when their leaders blow the arms and legs off babies, tap a school of children, then tap their parents and siblings who arrive later to pick up the pieces, continually break contract, destroy civil water supplies in an inhumane attempt to break the population to force regime change that profits the one percent of which they are part.
.
125 sovereign nations have ratified the Rome Statute and there is growing condemnation in many more of Trump and Netanyahu acting like undomesticated animals.
.
When they play dress-ups by placing a suit on a head lopping terrorist then install him as leader of a country less the oil fields, you know you’ve got a problem Houston.
Oh, so you don’t want to redistribute your wealth? – how did I guess?. Your just like the other hypocrites who live off of the products of capitalism whilst denouncing it. Ten year old little girls with a homemade lemonade stand are operating within the capitalist system. I guess you want to deny her the right to self-determination and economic freedom?
.
So I guess you think money is the root of all evil? But have you ever asked yourselves what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which cannot exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value.
.
Money is not the tool of the [Socialist] moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the [Socialist] looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. So, is this what you consider evil?
.
When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the [Socialist] moochers and looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper, which should have been gold, or a token of honour – your claim upon the energy of men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money. Is this what you consider evil?
.
Have you ever looked for the root of production? Take a look at an electric generator and dare tell yourself that it was created by the muscular effort of unthinking brutes. Try to grow a seed of wheat without the knowledge left to you by men who had to discover it for the first time. Try to obtain your food by means of nothing but physical motions – and you’ll learn that man’s mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that has ever existed on earth.
.
But you [Socialists] say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the the weak? But what strength do you mean? It is not the strength of guns or muscles. Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think.
.
Then is money made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy? Money is ‘made’ – before it can be mooched or looted – and its made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he cannot consume more than he has produced.
.
To trade by means of money is the code of the men of good will. Money tests upon the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort. Money allows no power to prescribe the value of your effort except the voluntary choice of the man who is willing to trade you his effort in return. Money permits you to obtain for your goods and your labour that which they are worth to men who buy them, – but no more.
.
Money demands of you the recognition that men must work for their own benefit, not for their own injury, for their own gain, not their loss, – the recognition that they are not beasts of burden, born to carry the weights of your misery, – and that you must offer them values, not wounds, that the common bond among men is not the exchange of suffering, but the exchange of goods. Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men’s stupidity, but your talent to their reason; it demands that you buy not the shoddiest they offer, but the best that your money can find. And when men live by trade, – with reason, not by force, as their final arbiter, – it is the best product that wins.

Yankee Doodle Do or Die
Communism (social democracy)
I was noting there is a difference between communism and social democracy.
Capitalism the corporatisation of society is another form of slavery.
As long they are in control of power and resource reserves, the one percent don’t care what political system their plebeian assets are ruled under.
Plebs are expendable, we see that in Ukraine, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran, they are getting in the way of realestate development and oil the life blood of industry.
Trump a few days back in a presser with Erdogan said Hormuz being closed doesn’t affect the U.S. or their dwindling reserves as they have Venezuela’s.
Exceptionalism is blind and fatal to friendly relations.
I guess you would call it that, but they call it something else in Cuba. Do forgive my ignorance, but I fail to understand why your still living in Australia when you can live out your wealth redistribution Socialist dream in Cuba?
.
Don’t tell me you prefer living off of the products and proceeds of capitalism?

Yankee DDD
If Trump said that then his brain must be fried, as communists and social democrats love their country and want a more even distribution of wealth.
Communist ideology advocates the dismantling and redistribution of capital in nations, by inciting violent revolution to bring about regime change, favourable to the inciters motives. — control of resources and land, with the illusionary carrot dangled in front of the plebs of equality, rule by the people for the people, with state regulation of the economy by members of a single party for the greater good.
It’s in the words, social democracy, Fabianism, advocates the gradual dismantling and redistribution of capital in a nation using democratic means over years, decades, favourable to the orchestrators motives. — control of resources and land, with the illusionary carrot dangled in front of the plebs of equality, rule by the people for the people, with state regulation of the economy by members of multiple parties for the greater good.
Both can be applied gloBAALy by an alliance of sovereign nation states or by one world government.
Capitalism coexists in both communist and social democratic states, but greed is controlled.
Capitalism is not about patriotism it’s about control of resources and land by a minority, the plebs and their oldies are seen as useless eaters.
Trump is a capitalist, was a Democrat is now a Republican.
