A woman got on a bus with her baby. The bus driver said, “Why, that’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen in my life. Ugh!” The stunned woman went to the rear of the bus and sat down, fuming.

She said to the man next to her, “I can’t believe it! That driver just insulted me!”

The man replied, “You go right up there and tell him off - go ahead, I’ll hold your dog for you.”

Tennessee Full Throttle Magazine

Truckers Against Predators Truckers Against Predators is a network of truck drivers, parents and concerned citizens who advocate for the safety of America’s children every day. They work tirelessly to expose these predators while collaborating with both law enforcement and legislators to influence law and crime standards for child predators.

The team monitors social media platforms, chat rooms, websites, games & forums. They are on the lookout for suspicious questions, conversations and connections.

These trained adult volunteers act as decoys connecting with suspected criminals, engaging with them in a detailed process and setting a meeting place and time.

The police are called on every case. TAP meets the alleged predator and confronts them live on video. The goal is that the exposure and evidence leads to an immediate arrest & public awareness.

Truckers Against Predators was founded by Anthony Greene in 2017. Anthony founded TAP because, as a child, he was a victim of child abuse. Anthony saw it as an opportunity to help make a difference in the world.

In fact, some states’ laws dictate that, unless caught in the act, these types of scenarios are deemed “victimless crimes.” Anthony certainly did not agree with that, and neither would most parents.

Knowing he could not keep quiet or stand by and do nothing, Anthony got to work and founded TAP. He began seeking out the predators, intercepting them at rendezvous points and exposing them on live video on social media. To date, Anthony is exposing predators almost every day of the week. The police are called ahead of time on every case. Transcripts and video footage are provided to them as evidence. Sometimes the predators are arrested, many times they aren’t. In Arizona, in particular, the city of Yuma Police Department works closely with Anthony and his team to bring justice. It is Anthony’s desire and goal to have great collaborations with every police department.

Over the course of the last few years, Anthony has built up a team who help identify and draw out these monsters and expose them for their planned crimes. All of this work is done on personal time and without any compensation. Days, even weeks are spent on just one case to ensure extra caution and proper protocols are in place. Live meetups often last all night once the police are involved.

As a father and truck driver, Anthony Greene drives thousands of miles every month. While on the road, he saw the work of adult predators in truck stops and parking lots in both big cities and small towns across Anthony is active on social media and uses his voice America. After calling the police on multiple occasions to educate parents, influence legislators, support police and receiving little support, Anthony was faced with departments and save children. a dilemma. Many states do not have laws in place that www.truckersagainstpredators.tv adequately protect children from these sick individuals.

sDespite Bruce McLaren’s death, the McLaren racing e t i r o av team continued to see success in the Cam-Am series, F s F1 and Indianapolis 500 wins in 1972, 1974 and 1976. ’ o Teddy Mayer took over the reigns when Bruce McLaren r B died and led the team to their first F1 constructors’ championship in 1974. McLaren also won the drivers’ championship in 1974 with Emerson Fittipaldi at the wheel. James Hunt repeated the driver’s championship win in 1976.

1980’s In 1981, the McLaren racing team merged with Ron Dennis’ Project 4 Racing team. McLaren became the first company to introduce a complete carbon fibre racing monocoque. This was completed with the help of designer John Barnard, who also introduced the first semi-automatic gearbox.

The merger also saw the beginning of McLaren’s most successful era in F1. Dennis took full control of the team and with Porsche and Honda engines, along with drivers Niki Lauda, Alain Prost and Aryton Senna, McLaren claimed seven drivers’ championships and six constructors’ championships. In 1988, Prost and Senna Both on and off the track, McLaren has become known won all but one race, but later Prost left McLaren for as one of the premier motoring companies.

As the McLaren Racing Team began to see success in Formula One, it also saw success in other motorsport categories. In 1967, McLaren Racing won five out of six races in the Can-Am series. 1968 saw them win four of six and then the following year the team won all of the 11 races of the season.

The McLaren F1 went on to claim the record for the world’s fastest production car in 1998, after reaching 240.1 mph. This was only surpassed by the Bugatti Veyron in 2005, when that car achieved a top speed of 253.81 mph.

With the help of former Williams designer Adrian Newey, a Mercedes-Benz engine package, a sponsorship from West and driver Mika Häkkinen, McLaren went on to win further championships in 1998 and 1999.

Hometown Heroes US Our Mission To honor those who served and to support those still serving.

Our Patch There is an old saying in the motorcycle community ... “If it’s not in your heart, don’t put it on your back.” This is why we designed every single detail of our back-patch with a specific meaning. Our organization’s colors are the same as those of our nation ... Red, White, and Blue. These colors represent the patriotism that each of us share, as evidenced by our chosen professions. The U.S. Flag is tattered, symbolizing the hardships endured while serving our communities, states, and nation ... as well as those endured by our families that stand with us. The background of the patch is white to remind us of the purity of our mission and that we represent something larger than ourselves. The patch is bordered in black. This is to honor those who are no longer with us; true heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice. The figures on the patch are silhouetted.

This is to represent all who serve, or have served, regardless of gender, age, race, religion, heritage, or social status. These silhouettes are positioned in front of the flag, standing tall. This is to inform all who see our patch that we stand for our flag, we stand by our oaths, and we stand together as family ... Military, Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMS, and other Emergency Response Personnel alike.

So yes, we agree ... If it’s not in your heart, don’t put it on your back.

Our Organization Hometown Heroes U.S. is a motorcycle based association of men and women who understand the true definition of service. Our members are current or former Military, Law Enforcement, Firefighters, Search and Rescue, Emergency Medical Services, 911 Dispatchers, and family members who share a certain “esprit de corps” along with a passion for riding motorcycles. We are law-abiding citizens who are united in supporting and serving our communities, states, and nation. Although Hometown Heroes is not a charity, many of our members are active in numerous charitable causes within their local areas, especially those that benefit children’s organizations, our Veterans, and the families of Fallen Police Officers and other First Responders. We take great pride in our commitment to our communities and helping those in need.

Tennessee Human Trafficking BE AWARE

Human Trafficking is modern-day slavery, plain and simple. It happens here. And it has to stop.

Williamson Counties. There are a few primary reasons for this:

Consider the facts:

The first reason is related to transportation and location. Nashville is one of only six U.S. cities where 3 major interstates converge. Additionally, you can reach 75% of the U.S. market within a 2-hour flight time from Nashville, making it a strategic point for movement around the country. Nashville is also in close proximity to Atlanta – a large metropolitan area known for high amounts of human trafficking – and this adds to the transportation of victims throughout the state.

In the United States, on average, every two minutes a child is bought or sold for sex.

The average age of a child sold for sex is 13 years old.

Human Trafficking is the second-fastest growing criminal industry, just behind Drug Trafficking.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has reported that human trafficking is the second-highest rising crime in the state. This type of exploitation can begin in childhood or adolescence. Despite common The second reason that Nashville is a popular spot for misconceptions, the Polaris Project’s statistics show that human trafficking is its large tourism and sporting the majority of trafficked individuals in the country are industries. Studies have shown that popular events U.S. citizens, not foreign nationals. It is a harsh reality that are characterized by large influxes of people that the young people in our lives may be the same (like the Super Bowl, for example) typically increase ones vulnerable to traffickers. Additionally, human the demand for sexual exploitation. The presence of trafficking often does not align with over-dramatized both the Nashville Predators and Tennessee Titans, as media portrayals. Manipulation is more common well as events such as CMA Fest, the NFL Draft, and than abduction, and most often, a trafficker is a family Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival can drive a demand member, friend or individual a victim already knows. for trafficked services and make it harder for traffickers to be identified and caught.

According to the TBI, human trafficking cases have been reported in every county in Tennessee.

BE WHAT YOU SEEK

Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people. (The Message Bible 2 Tim 3:1-5) Well, that sounds rather harsh, doesn’t it? The KJV version may sound a bit softer, but the meaning is the same. Self-absorbed and allergic to God, they make a show of the “God bless you’s,” but continue to be ruthless and profane. That’s sad because life has gotten pretty tough for most folks, and a leader who was honorable and walking close to God would definitely be comforting. So where does that leave the ones of us who truly wish to serve and reflect God?

When it seems the pain of loss is greater than the joy of blessings,

That hate has once again won out over love,

That the lie has more appeal than the truth…

That’s the time to remember that God knows exactly how you feel.

He has been treated the same way and He cries just like you.

No one ever said life was fair. What then is there for us in the light of this pain? I’ll tell you if you will listen…

Be the love that you desire.

Be the truth that you wish others would see.

Be the forgiveness you seek.

Be the one who, through your own tears, offers healing and hope to others.

Just as Christ has done for you.

Don’t become cynical and ruthless. Don’t be an unbending bloated windbag. Do not allow yourself to be victimized by those people. Chart your course after the mind of God. Think About This

GOD BLESS AMERICA
