The convoy reached Ohio and was quickly greeted by a Sheriff's deputy ... who gave them a warning for going so damn slow.

OH has minimum speed laws.

Video of the Sheriff Deputy's interaction with Trucker G was immediately deleted from YT by Trucker G.

A friend of mine in a super-sekrit Twitter group followed the convoy and met some of the members.

She made sure she butted in to interrupt the convoy line. The convoy hates it when someone interrupts their chain. She pretended to be a RWNJ when she mingled. She was asked to join the convoy.

Tonight, the convoy is staying at Farm Boy Garage in Des Moines, IA. They are holding a rally. Farm Boy has 6 acres.

The neighbors are unhappy. Farm Boy is in a freaking residential area!! The property right across from Farm Boy is a trailer park ... lots of elderly residents.

The convoy asked The World's Largest Truck Stop if they could camp there and also have a rally.

The convoy didn't like the response they received.

The convoy is now super broke. They pay for member's fuel only. It appears that they are almost out of money for fuel.

The convoy now has a place to camp in DC.

It's even further away from DC than Hagerstown.

Oh, and the fastest route from camp to DC is ... expensive.

Imo, this trip will be about abortion. parental rights, "family court corruption", "child sbuse", and child sex trafficking. Maybe the covid vaccine.

TPC is going full Q.

1. Suspected secret missions (some won't be "officially sanctioned" missions)

*I know some members plan to go into pro-choice protests to fight with protesters. They won't go as counterprotesters. They're going to get into the pro-choice protest to fight protesters face to face. The convoy men are irrationally confrontational and hostile with those who are pro-choice, especially pro-choice women. I'd probably pepper-spray some of these men if they got into my face.

*More protests at politician's homes. The convoy got some of their most exciting (to them) press coverage from visits to politician's houses.

*Walk around nationally significant areas handing out pamphlets. (Yes, they would call this a mission.)

*Maybe a honk protest infront of a DC Metro Police station.


2. Planned activities known to date:

*On May 17, the convoy is joining up with the Justice for Kids Convoy (Facebook page). The 2 groups are holding a joint rally in OH on May 17th.

Events so far on Thur morning/afternoon.

*The convoy drove the wrong way this morning. My buddy in Des Moines says that the freeway system is super duper easy.

*The convoy is BEGGING for donations. They need $15,000. I've never seen the group beg for a specific amount of money. And I've never seen them fundraise specifically for fuel.

*The upcoming campsite "near DC" is requiring the convoy to prepay before allowing the convoy to set up camp.

*The convoy are talking about having 2 campsites in Virginia because "things might get rough" in DC. The convoy is staying 90 miles away from DC!

*A Pilot gas station just refused to serve the convoy. An employee with Pilot might have called the police about the convoy. I'll look for more solid evidence about the police call.

*Laverne needs $2400 in repairs on his truck. He is blaming "the libs". Why? Regulations.

*Mud Pig is struggling. His ac is out. It's 113 inside his truck.

*FIRETRUCK DOWN! FIRETRUCK DOWN!!

*10 people are greeting the convoy at tonight's camp. Alas, several are recognized as convoy members.

*Firetruck made it to tonight's campsite.

*Several vehicles are experiencing significant engine problems.



Not convoy trucks, but very relevant to the convoy.

Misc.

The convoy is now too small for the average person to know that the convoy is a convoy.

TPC is NOT joining the JFKC rally. I'm almost certain that the 2 groups are not traveling together to DC.

Perhaps the JFKC finally figured out that a number of the main members in TPC have a history of violent crimes?

"G" is Trucker G. He's a main leader for TPC.


A discussion between the 2 leaders, Trucker G and Proud Boy Santa. The convoy simply can't get enough Americans to join the convoy.

This wasn't meant to be public knowledge.

Alex, the let's paint dolls red for the CA abortion protest is leaving "for a few days". Convoy trackers know that he's out of money.

Trucker G has COPD and is in bad shape. He didn't bring a nebulizer with him for the trip.

The following are broken down or have serious engine issues:

Mechanic Eric
Oreo
X-Ray
Mud Pig
LaVerne
Unknown

The convoy isn't doing well today. Service refused at a gas station, police called, weather is hot, more vehicles are breaking down, accidentally livestreamed conversation between convoy leaders, and rally canceled.
