deadly Brooklyn Bridge mishap

He missed the boat on this one. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday bizarrely suggested that DOGE cuts to the US Coast Guard could have been partly to blame for a Mexican tall ship’s deadly collision with the Brooklyn Bridge. “We know there has been meddling by the Trump administration into USCG staffing, and we need to know how this might have impacted the events of last night — from a command, communication and local coordination level,” the embattled Dem said in a press release. “There are indications that this service [Vehicle Traffic System] may not be fully or adequately functional in light of a hiring freeze,” he said —

NIce try Chuckles. But the most bizarre conspiracy theory award still goes to then Speaker of the House Tom Foley (DeMS-13) for claiming he had information that then VP candidate Bush was secretly flown by the CIA/USAF to Europe to negotiate with Iran to hold the hostages until after the elections. Naturally nothing even hinted that such a thing occurred.

It’s very ironic that Senator Schumer is opining so vociferously about the Mexican Navy ship accident on the East River. The usually talkative Senator was strangely silent back in 2003 when a Staten Island ferry crashed into a dock after the pilot passed out, killing eleven passengers and injuring another seventy people onboard. Ordinarily, you’d expect to hear Senator Schumer, pontificating about the lack of safety standards on the ferry, but his silence was deafening. Maybe that’s because the senator’s wife, Iris Weinshall, was the NYC Commissioner of the Department of Transportation when this terrible accident occurred. And, we could hardly expect the normally voluble Chuck Schumer to hold his wife to be responsible as DOT commissioner for this transportation tragedy. The man is a despicable mealy-mouth.

This ranks right up there with representative Hank Johnson's observation that Guam might tip over and capsize because of too many Marines on the island. Just when you think you've heard or seen it all, along comes a complete fool like Schumer to compete with 'ol Hank for the honor of wearing the tallest dunce cap.

The US Coast Guard would have no responsibility at all when a foreign ship is handled incompetently along with an engine failure in a river causing it to instantly crash into a bridge. One would think that there would have been a New York harbor pilot aboard and enough powerful tug boats contracted for to ensure that the training ship safely transited up the river against the current to the refueling pier.

The Mexican sail training Tall ship is actually one of four all built to the same plan and in the same yard, at the same time.(copies of an older German ship) The others are the National Vessels of Ecuador, Columbia, and Venezuela. They claim it "Lost power" but it had serious way on, in reverse. They had fired nearly half of the professional crew to take on more "Cadets", of which most were teenage females. Have worked on and sailed Tall Ships, I am amazed the top masts didn't fall all of the way to the deck which would have killed a score or more.

It’s been a heckuva year for our lying mainstream press. Despite their best efforts to paint Donald Trump as Hitler, the American public tuned them out, and over 77 million voted him back into the Oval Office in November ’24. They depicted Joe Biden, a man who anyone with two eyes could see was fading fast, as “cogent” and “better than he’s ever been.” That narrative has been blown to smithereens by “Original Sin” and other books as well as multiple sources admitting that things were actually really, really bad in the White House.

It's an ambitious project with enormous implications, if it works. So, of course, China is already objecting to the project. China is concerned by President Donald Trump's proposal for a new U.S. missile defense system, called the Golden Dome, which is designed to protect against adversarial attacks on America. Golden Dome has a "strong offensive nature and violates the principle of peaceful use in the Outer Space Treaty," Chinese Foreign Minister Mao Ning said Wednesday.

He blasted the regime for orchestrated land seizures and escalating violence, calling the country “a bad place to be right now.” At the same time, he offered a fast track to U.S. citizenship for South African farmers and their families seeking safety from persecution. The black-led South African government has flatly denied any campaign of anti-white violence, brushing off the attacks as fiction and painting any criticism as offensive.

Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia has died at the age of 75 after a battle with esophageal cancer, his family said in a statement Wednesday. “It is with immense sadness that we share that our devoted and loving father, husband, brother, friend, and public servant, Congressman Gerald E. Connolly, passed away peacefully at his home this morning surrounded by family,” read a statement posted on Connolly’s X account. Connolly served as the top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform until late last month, when he said he would step down because his cancer had returned.
