Yes, the smart phones track you 100%. They know exactly where you are at..... When the cell phone is on. Mine is only on when I need to use it. I still have a land line phone.

As more electric cars come into use all newer cars will have a chip that records the mileage you travel and report it to the Government so they can tax you because they are not getting a gas tax from you.

Probably a GPS that tracks your speed and knows if you are breaking the speed limit. They will send you a ticket and be able to disable you vehicle if you don;t pay. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yes, indeed, and I love it. Why?
During one 3am drive eastward on Rt78, from Pennsylvania into NJ, I got jammed into 3 lanes of slow, stop-n-go almost entirely truck traffic on the 6-lane Interstate. I tapped (inadvertently, actually) the GPS button for "Embrace" in my Benz, and not only could they see me exactly where I was, they suggested that if I could get the truckers to let me move-over from the "fast" lane, far left, to the shoulder lane, by the next exit, which was only yards away, they could get me from there onto Rt. 80E, which was quite a bit away from where I was at that moment, via roads I had not been familiar with at all. (They could "see" me that clearly!!!!) It worked! I waved my hand thru the opened moonroof, at the close-by truckers, and each one of them let me move over to the exit. Wow! I followed the directions of the GPS guy and sure enough, he had me on my way along Rt80E, across Del. H2O Gap and homeward. Wow. And Wow, again. I loved it!

On another occasion, on a trip into Kansas, westward, the Embrace GPS guy was able to tell me precisely when I would be out of a very torrential (I could barely see the hood ornament) rainstorm, and that it had no tornadoes. He was exactly right. In 55min I was out of the storm!

Had you been on Rt. 81, the trucks would have just run you off the road.

She just had him impeached. I don't think they're friends. :lol:

And since the senate just acquitted Trump Pelosi and the democrats will start the 2nd impeachment tomorrow. This is not over with. The democrats will keep this up all year.

I hope your wrong, but that question was asked of Schiff on PBS tonight. So, in the future, we can just expect parties to interfere with the administration in power to the point of distraction? Congress has always been self-serving and lame, but this will be an all time low.

Looking at the sotu last night, it looks the Dems side of the aisle is made up of mostly women.

The best and the brightest the democrats have to offer..

Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead House impeachment manager, warned on Monday that if President Trump's dealings with Ukraine are not impeachable offenses, then nothing would stand in his way from attempting bolder power grabs -- going so far to claim Trump could use Alaska as a bargaining chip with "the Russians" for support in 2020.

"If abuse of power is not impeachable ... Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war," Schiff said.

Schiff is a pathological liar. He just can't quit, and he does it deliberately in hopes of swaying as many sheep (crazies) as he can.

Schiff is a pathologic liar? He's no competition for our Rapist in Chief :). Thousands of astonishingly ignorant or bald-faced lies in 3 years. Must be a presidential record. He is the best at something, for sure.

Best? Without doubt. He actually exceeded the prior 4 year record in the space of 1 year and is heading to set a record for all time - a dubious distinction at best.
