The Pete Buttigieg 'Reclamation Project' is Off to a Rocky Start​



“He’s not ready for the responsibility he has. He was a fine mayor, from what I understand, but the position he’s got really would be better served by a person who’s managed a large enterprise, a state, or something of the scale he’s now dealing with,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah).

How has Pete Buttigieg fulfilled Romney’s characterization of him? Let us count the ways:

  1. A major-league clusterfark of the supply chain during the pandemic. While some disruptions were inevitable, many industry experts fault Buttigieg for not doing more to get workers back to the docks and back behind the wheel of trucks.
  2. In the midst of the supply chain crisis, Buttigieg took paternity leave. Since he and his partner/husband Chasten chose the time of their twin babies’ birth. Buttigieg proved to possess the worst sense of timing in government.
  3. A disastrous holiday travel season that resulted in thousands of people being stranded.
  4. And that same month, he was criticized over problems with the FAA, which had to ground flights for two hours for the first time in more than 20 years.
Buttigieg could continue to screw up, and Biden would never fire him. Pete Buttigieg is one of the most important icons in American history — if you believe it’s important that a gay man serves in the cabinet. The more accurate characterization is that Buttigieg is the first openly gay man to serve in the cabinet. It’s a good bet that there were closeted gays who served in the cabinet previously.

The Peter (Buttigieg) Principle​



Over the weekend, Buttigieg unburdened himself to CNN. He "admits he got it wrong on the Ohio train derailment response," CNN reported, and even concedes that his critics have a point. "But while the criticism is fair, he says, the critics are mostly not," the CNN article continued.

Buttigieg then launched into a tirade of anger, self-pity, and sheer non sequitur that one might not have expected from a Harvard-educated Rhodes scholar. But out it came. "It's really rich to see some of these folks — the former president, these Fox hosts — who are literally lifelong card-carrying members of the East Coast elite," Buttigieg told CNN, "whose top economic policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and who wouldn't know their way around a T.J. Maxx if their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country. You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl's?"

Huh? Faced with criticism of his botching the extraordinarily serious matter of the East Palestine derailment, after the Southwest debacle, after the supply-chain mess — after all that, Buttigieg's response is to ask: "You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl's?" It simply made no sense. You know that saying about living rent-free in someone's head? It appears some at Fox News have taken up residence inside the Buttigieg cranium.

His poor performance in office is especially damaging to Buttigieg because he wants to become president of the United States. Indeed, most people first heard of Buttigieg in 2020 when, as the 37-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, having served in no other public office, he ran for the Democratic nomination for president. He sort of won the Iowa caucuses ("sort of" because state Democrats made a hash of the vote counting) but later faltered before the rise of Joe Biden in the race for the Democratic nomination.

However, another blasted the Transportation secretary’s comments, writing, “If a former president can make it to a disaster zone caused by a derailment in Ohio before anyone in your administration, there might be a problem with your transportation secretary.”

In March, a Rasmussen Reports survey found a majority of likely voters want Buttigieg to resign due to his handling of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, Breitbart News reported.

He was slow to respond to the incident and chose to visit the area after former President Donald Trump made the effort. During his time there, Trump delivered truckloads of water and also bought lunch for first responders and other community members:

Roads Are 'Designed' to Kill Minorities, Says Transportation Secretary​



Buttigieg argued that the racial disparity is "related to discrimination" and "even the ways roads are designed and built" such that minorities don't have "access to a safe street design that's got crosswalks and good lighting."

"We've got to act," Buttigieg said, despite him not having such urgency to take action to address the broken supply chain, formula shortage, or toxic train derailments — just a few crises Buttigieg ignored or went MIA during.

What's more, Buttigieg should have thought about where his argument would lead before making his proclamation about racist roads. Because if, as Buttigieg claimed, roads were designed to be more deadly for minorities, who is to blame for building those roads?

In cities and states with crumbling infrastructure, members of Buttigieg's party are in charge of roads. Such as South Bend, Indiana, where then-Mayor Buttigieg was unable to address potholes? Was the danger posed by Mayor Pete's potholes a racist design in action?

A new Department of Transportation roadway safety data explorer shows clearly where America's most deadly roads are. The data viewed on a heat map lights up America's big, Democrat-run cities like fireworks. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New York, and Philadelphia are where these deadly — apparently designed to be so for minorities — exist.

So, did Buttigieg just admit that Democrats are making cities unsafe for minorities? Sure looks like it.

Pete Buttigieg says the more pain people feel at the pump, the more benefit there is to those with ‘access to’ electric cars​



Here’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg admitting out loud what the entire Biden administration has been suggesting from the start. We’re in a “transition” period from fossil fuels to renewables, and high gas prices are part of that transition. As with others in the administration, Buttigieg’s solution to those struggling to afford gas is to buy an electric vehicle. And now he’s admitted the equation is the more pain people feel at the pump, the more benefit there is to those “who can access electric vehicles.” Not buy, access.

You cant sell electric cars if gas is cheap!!!

This boy must be suffering a terrible white guilt.
To him everything is racist, He is just another example of the sickness in the Biden Administration.
They cannot sell me an electric car even if gas is more expensive, because it will still be cheaper to buy expensive gas than to pay $60 or 70 thousand dollars for a glorified golf cart and then pay for a battery charger and then have to pay the electric bill.

Buttegieg’s Looming Maritime Supply Chain Crisis​



The COVID pandemic exposed the weakness of America’s supply chain. Over-regulation, congested ports, and supplier shortages all combined to drive up the price and lead times of the products the United States imports from around the world. The supply chain has recovered, for the most part, as the global economy has slowed and shippers began utilizing ports on the East and Gulf Coasts, alleviating the congestion in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Today, however, the supply chain is once again teetering on the brink of a catastrophe, this time at the hands of labor unions and mother nature.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), which represents approximately 22,000 West Coast dock workers, reached a tentative agreement with an “association representing the U.S. West Coast employers of port laborers on some key issues,” in April 2023. These negotiations have been dragging on for nearly a year, and the contract between the “Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and the union expired on July 1, 2022.”

The deal has yet to be ratified, and there are still many open issues that remain to be resolved. Last week, members of the ILWU effectively “shut down operations at some marine terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Similar actions shut down or severely impacted terminal operations at the ports of Oakland, Tacoma, Seattle, and Hueneme.”

The COVID-driven congestion of West Coast ports, combined with the threat of labor actions by dock workers there, have driven many supply chain professionals to divert shipments to the Gulf and East Coasts of the United States. In fact, according to Bloomberg, “West Coast container volumes were down 10% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the same period in 2019. Gulf ports saw a 43% increase in goods over the same period.”

But ports in the Gulf and East Coasts may find themselves on the outside looking in. A significant drought is lowering the water level of Gutan Lake in Panama and the Panama Canal, resulting in both weight limits and rising surcharges for vessels traversing the canal.
