I-95 is going to take months to repair, sparking chaos on the major interstate that funnels 150,000 vehicles across the East Coast every day, officials have warned. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro last night said the highway was going to take 'some months' before it is running smoothly again following the overpass collapse. It comes as vehicles were already backed up on Monday morning as commuters faced long delays following the tanker explosion on Sunday morning.Meanwhile rescuers have been battling to reach a vehicle trapped in the rubble of the highway collapse, with officials saying the situation 'remains fluid'.

Notice the “supply chain” narrative that they have been beating for months. Lots of “random” accidents have been happening. Puppet strings.

Remember the 2021 1 Trillion $$$ infrastructure bill? Has any of that $$$ been spent on infrastructure? Where is Butt Pete? Has he noticed that part of his transportation infrastructure collapsed yesterday? Or is he still lactating?

“ The collapsed section of I-95 was part of a $212million reconstruction project that wrapped up four years ago.” A. Four years ago should mean that either the Feds or PA Transportation have details on what, if anything, was rebuilt/replaced/reinforced or most likely, neglected in the project. B. Doesn’t Fed Transportation have contingency plans for such collapses. With lists of materials and contractors required to rebuild quickly and an approximate price. C. Florida’s Governor DeSantis had the hurricane destroyed bridge to Sanibel and Captiva Islands replaced in less than a month. Have feeling that Biden and his clowns will take 3 to 4 months to fix bridge. With loyal Democrats rewarded with rich contracts.

I guess if you had to have a tanker full of gasoline crash, catch on fire and cause the collapse of a freeway overpass, Sunday morning at 6am is probably the best time.

The overpass would have been maintained by union labor in Philadelphia. I'm surprised that it even stood on its own this long. I have to admit this is a more spectacular accident than a burning chicken farm. Butt Judge will make a statement on the dangers of gasoline in a week or two when somebody writes it for him.

How convenient that a tanker full of fuel just happens to blow up under the major north south highway on the east coast. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Has anyone heard why the tanker had the accident right there? Did it run into the overpass? The road looks plenty wide enough. No sharp turns.

While tough for Philly commuters, most of the East Coast through-traffic goes through New Jersey. Remember, they built the Empire State Building in 15 months. This is a measly overpass on a closed road. It should be weeks and not months.

We'll see how well this crisis is handled by Federal officials in the Biden Administration, PA officials in Democrat Governor Shapiro's administration, and local Philadelphia officials, where the Democrats have ruled for decades. As poster #4 indicates, their response is not likely to compare well to Florida's recent response to hurricane damage. Actually, the Dems are at risk here IMO. A crisis like this that is not handled well can influence the political leanings of local residents. Imagine the Dems actually taking the blame for something important.

If they really want this road up and running in a hurry, they could almost certainly use standard, off the shelf steel wide flange beams to build a temporary replacement. Instead of the perhaps five special, custom steel beams that might be structurally and economically ideal, they could use 10 or 12 standard beams, depending on what they can find sitting in a steel supplier's stock now. It may not be as cost effective and good looking as a custom designed system, and may require temporary piers, or other "temp fixes", perhaps a temporary steel decking, which has cost and traction limits, but SOMETHING could be done in a hurry if anyone actually was willing, competent and interested in solving this problem quickly. Politicians, at least 80% of them....really don't give a damn about anything except about their graft.

No way this will get repaired quickly. They will have to be careful to contract the repairs to the "right" kind of people. You know, have to make sure there are sufficient numbers of minorities and trannies and various LGBTQLSMFTEIEIO types working on it rather than a bunch of old white guys.

I'm sure they'll figure out how to raise the state gas tax as excuse to pay for this event, and then craft a super deal that pays the contractor, who will be a good friend and contributor to the Democrats, an amazing bonus to complete the job in record time. It will result in lots of overtime for the union workers too.

The engineering was done for the build 4 years ago, the beams and other material should be on order today, rush priority. Get the material allocated, staged, so as soon as the sight is cleared and prepped, the rebuilding material is well on it's way, if not already there.

This is at least the third instance of different, shady business associates of Hunter Biden referring to the now-president as “the big guy.” In October 2020, onetime Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski released an email from 2017 referring to “the big guy,” meaning (Bobulinksi said) Joe Biden. One of the other Biden business partners Bobulinski mentioned was James Gilliar, who referred to Joe Biden as “the Big Guy” in a panicked message the very day news of Hunter Biden’s now-infamous laptop computer broke. Now we discover that Zlochevsky referred to “the big guy” independently, several years before Bobulinski said that was Joe Biden's moniker.

Former President Donald Trump handed himself over to authorities Tuesday at a Miami courthouse, pleading not guilty to 37 felony counts, but the indictment and even a potential conviction won’t disqualify Trump from running for another term in the White House. The 37 charges against Trump stem from his handling of sensitive documents. The former president stands accused of retaining national defense information, attempting to obstruct justice, and lying to investigators. The criminal trial, however, will not stop Trump from campaigning for the 2024 White House bid, and even if he is convicted, the Constitution doesn’t prohibit Trump from running for the presidency.

America’s All Volunteer Force turns 50 this year. Since 1973, the U.S. military has, with rare exceptions, met its annual recruitment goals and improved the quality of the force. Now, however, it is mired in its worst recruiting stretch in history. Last year, the Army missed its recruiting goal by 25% and already predicts it will miss again in 2023. Ditto the Air Force and Navy. Officials cite numerous reasons for the shortfall: low unemployment, a smaller pool of young people qualified to serve, declining public confidence in the military and more. Whatever the reasons, these recruiting failures portend trouble for military readiness.

All have since lost at least half their population, and those who remain have failed to regenerate the vibrancy, the energy of the early to mid-20th century.

According to an Open the Books report released last month, the IRS has spent more than $35 million since 2006 on firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear for its glorified and federally empowered accountant force, with some $10 million of that taxpayer-funded armament coming since just 2020.

The number of churches leaving the UMC has surged in recent years, with approximately 2,000 congregations being approved to disaffiliate in 2022 and more than 3,000 this year.
