Busted: Records Confirm Pete Buttigieg
Was Absent During Supply-Chain Crisis

Original Article

Documents made public by the nonprofit government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) on Wednesday show Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was completely absent during the supply-chain crisis of 2021 contrary to claims otherwise. According to the ethics group, Buttigieg’s calendar showed no meetings from the time Buttigieg left for paternity leave in mid-August to Oct. 6, 2021. During that time, a “breathtaking backup of container ships” began to swell on the West Coast, and Americans faced empty shelves at grocery stores. Ninety percent of new fathers take paternity leave, but 70 percent of them take two weeks or less. Buttigieg, however, took a whopping eight-week absence

Comments:

He has a record of inompetence back in South Bend. He had no qualifications whatsoever for this job. He is a total fake and he knows it.

Mayor Pete is totally qualified. Several woke boxes checked. Lactating, too, remarkable because it is known in wives during childbearing years, but not in men identifying as wives. As I said, remarkable, no doubt worthy of months off work every year. Since the explosion of federal spending, two dollar bills are worth the same as 1950 quarters, or less. Three dollar bills won't even suffice. Lincoln ($5) is becoming politically incorrect, and Alexander Hamilton ($10) ... well. Not a snowflake's dream. It's all fiat currency. Paper. A long time ago (between 1854 and 1889) there were three dollar gold pieces. But they're all valuable now. Every one of them. We've eliminated most of the possible denominations from one to ten. But one exception should be made. Pete and his husband should be on the portrait of the 2024 nine dollar bill.

Democrats are incompetent by nature. When truth is subjective and feelings matter more than facts, hiring a democrat to be competent and productive is a losing proposition. Ever work with a liberal? They are lazy and spend more time trying to get out of work than they do actually doing their job. It seems they feel they are entitled to the job and their employer should be grateful they show up. They have zero work ethic and even less respect for the people who pay their salaries. Little Petey is a prime example. He believes because he has the title he can do the job. He is out of league as is most every other democrat in this vile administration. However, democrats do excel at corruption so there’s that.

President Joe Biden will name Jeff Zients, who oversaw the White House’s response to the Chinese coronavirus, to serve as his chief of staff, according to the Washington Post on Sunday. He will replace Ron Klain, who will reportedly depart the administration in the coming weeks. Notably, Biden, who has sought to expand “diversity” in his administration, is opting for Zients to be his chief of staff and overlooking the rest of his diverse team, such as Anita Dunn, a female senior adviser, and Susan Rice, a woman of color. During his time in the Biden administration, as Breitbart News previously reported, Zients was the voice behind every video call coronavirus briefing

Charles McGonigal, a retired counterintelligence investigator from the FBI’s New York Field Office, was just arrested because he allegedly took substantial sums of money from Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, to get the latter off a U.S. sanctions list. Where this goes beyond the ordinary corruption that periodically crops up among people with too much power, too few morals, and too little accountability is that McGonigal was one of the people investigating Trump over the Russia Hoax, while Deripaska employed Christopher Steele, whose false dossier seeded the Russia Hoax. Anyone who paid attention during the “hot” years of the Russia Hoax recognizes Deripaska’s name.

She said, “We were tragically reminded this weekend of the deadly nature of assault weapons when a shooter used one to kill 11 people and injure 9 more at a Lunar New Year celebration in California.” However, Feinstein’s proposed ban would not have prevented the suspected gunman from possessing the gun used in the attack.

Maricopa County is the most populated part of Arizona. When it comes to local government, it’s strongly conservative. However, abruptly and surprisingly, in both 2020 and 2022, Maricopa County suddenly started voting Democrat. The courts shut down 2020 election challenges, but gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is fighting the good fight for the 2022 election—and today she released bombshell information about voting machine problems and bizarre signature analyses. If a judge accepts this data, it shows an election-changing pattern of suppressing Republican votes and overcounting Democrat votes. Maricopa County had 4,420,568 residents according to the 2020 census,
