Buttigieg Mess: Transportation Dept Will
Not Say How Many National Defense Ships
Stuck in Harbor

Original Article

After an initial strong public response from President Biden vowing the federal government would do whatever it took to fix the situation, his administration is showing early signs it is bungling the response to the collapsed bridge in Baltimore. Questions abound — such as exactly how many ships are stuck in the harbor, but the administration has been unable to provide fast or forthcoming answers.Breitbart News has asked the Department of Transportation for answers regarding the country’s National Defense Reserve Fleet — a fleet of ships that could be used to support the military during war or emergencies, but the agency has been unable to respond.

Maybe we should ask his husband, Chasten James Glezman Buttigieg, for a straight answer. Who knows, maybe the twins know!

If Breitbart really wanted to know the answer, they could look on any shipfinder app or drive to Baltimore and count the haze-gray ships in the harbor with the blue and gold (Military Sealift Command) or red, white, and blue (Maritime Administration) bands around the stacks. As to the former mayor, as head of the DOT his first call should have been to the MARAD Administrator with the same question.

No active duty ships at all. These are reserve fleet, basically just mothballed and available for reactivation in a few months. Frankly, the harbor will be clear before the ships would be ready to sail if they were ordered into reactivation tomorrow.

Not that he would know but from a quick check of Google maps I can help him out . I see (2) 50 year old Algol class cargo ships , a Coast Guard Cutter and a couple of dry docked supply ship - so maybe 5-7 vessels.

The Baltimore bridge disaster is of course magnitudes larger than potholes in South Bend, but keep in mind, please, that the Buttster could not even fix them when he was the mayor.

To anyone with a brain, the first priority should be removing all parts of the destroyed bridge structure out of the shipping channel and then go from there.

The bad news just keeps piling up for those involved with President Biden's reelection campaign. In the latest blow, Gallop has released polling results on issues Americans name as most important, and it's something of an understatement to note that these are issues that aren't exactly Joe Biden's strong points.Amid the heightened numbers of migrants entering the United States at the Southern border and discord in the Middle East, Americans have grown more anxious about immigration and terrorism over the past year. At the same time, with the inflation rate down from 2023, public concern about that issue has eased. Nevertheless,

Adeel Abdullah Mangi is a Biden administration judicial nominee to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. They have been trying to push him through the senate confirmation process for months, but Republicans have blocked the nominee because he has ties to people who were in the domestic terror group the Weather Underground and other radicals, including cop killers. Now even senate Democrats are objecting to Mangi’s nomination, meaning that the Biden administration should probably stop wasting everyone’s time with this.

Fact Check: Jon Stewart Falsely Claims
Loans to Trump Meant Fewer Loans To Other People

Claim: Comedian Jon Stewart said this week that the loans at the center of the civil real-estate case against Donald Trump meant there were fewer loans available to other borrowers. “Money isn’t infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn’t go to someone who’s giving a more honest evaluation. So the system becomes incentivized for corruption,” Stewart said. Verdict: False. The amount of money available for loans from banks is not diminished when banks make loans to other customers, except in the rare case of a distressed bank that is capital-constrained. A loan to one customer does not subtract from a fixed pool of loans

Now, a new report has revealed the effort to finish off the gas-powered car is well-underway in eight states. As The Daily Mail reported Tuesday, the rules being adopted in these states specify that only zero-emission vehicles, which include electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids, can be sold beginning with the 2035 model year. This is known as the Advanced Clean Cars II rule.

The most controversial photograph shows the body of 23-year-old Shani Louk, a German-Israeli dual citizen who was kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, on the back of a truck. Video would later show Palestinians abusing her corpse.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), radio host Andrew Wilkow, and Trump attorney Alina Habba are among those calling for “Tish” to show that no one is above the law.

A California Democrat wants to tax sales of gold, cotton, tobacco and other goods linked to slavery — and to divert the money to black residents, in the latest bid to turn reparations into reality. The bill by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer is one of more than a dozen bills backed by the California Legislative Black Caucus seeking reparations for black Californians, especially the descendants of slaves. They stem from a July 2023 report from the state Reparations Task Force, where Jones-Sawyer served as a member, and underscores efforts to turn controversial policies into a legally-binding compensation scheme.
