What's the REAL Reason Pete Buttigieg Just Moved to Michigan?
It appears someone at the DNC may have sat Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg down for a heart-to-heart. Despite the media fawning and attempting to bill Buttigieg as the next big thing, it just isn’t taking. Forget that he looks about 14 years old, rarely speaks in any language other than his native corporate consultant, and was absent on paternity leave during a supply-chain crisis. As the city’s mayor, he has only demonstrated that he couldn’t fix the potholes in South Bend, Indiana.
Despite the glaring lack of demonstrable skills or an actual resume, Buttigieg threw himself into the Democrat presidential primary. It turns out that was a good move on his part. As a far-left progressive, Buttigieg knew he could not win a statewide race in red Indiana. As a failed primary candidate, he got enough press, profile, and leverage to get himself a spot in the intersectional administration. It is unclear what he has done since then other than take two months off and call roads racist.
But the Democrats desperately need young intersectional faces on their bench. Where does a secretary of transportation go when the Biden administration ends? Someone more politically astute than Buttigieg must have told him. It is not the top of the national ticket in 2024. Despite having no intersectional cred, the party seems to be teeing up Kamala Harris’s old boss, Gavin Newsom, to displace both her and Joe Biden.
Nor is it the number two slot. If Newsome runs, the Democrats can’t have two white guys on the ticket, even if one of them is gay. The Democrat base won’t tolerate it. So Mayor Pete needs to have a shot at a job more significant than a mayor, but one much smaller than the president. Maybe while he does said job, Buttigieg could even accomplish something notable, though that is not required to rise through the ranks of the Democrat Party. Obviously, he cannot take the new family and go back to Indiana and make anything happen.
So, he and the crew landed in Michigan. Detroit News reports:
Really? The Buttigieges moved for babysitting? Theoretically, the Biden administration will end on January 20, 2025. While President Biden says he is running again, it is not clear anyone believes him. Certainly not after seeing Newsome jaunt into the West Wing like he owned as soon as Biden was airborne to Israel.

To be fair, his presidential campaign was doing better than Bidens before he was told to pull out.
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.
Hubby just bought a 2022 GMC diesel 4-dr, long bed pickup. He worked hard for that truck, after all the junk he's driven over the yrs. It is his pride and joy.
Drove it to see family in New England. They were appalled he would dare own such a environment-destroying hunk of metal.

Why is it so hard for these people to understand that the price of gas affect the price of everything.
EVERYTHING. It isn't just the price of gas fool.
They are pushing this electric BS and even the price of electricity will soon be restrictive.
Even now they are being told not to charge their electric cars because the power is not there for them, and still the stupid mother humpers cannot see the big picture. What would be happening if we all had electric cars.?

Buttigieg Whines About Americans Not Wanting Electric Cars
Meanwhile, electric vehicle owners are being warned not to charge their batteries during certain hours for fear of blackouts.
"Tesla is asking its customers in Texas to avoid charging their electric vehicles during peak times in order to prevent overtaxing the state’s power grid. The alerts come as Texas’ grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas or ERCOT, is calling on residents to conserve electricity during the recent heatwave, as the system is being pushed to near-emergency conditions," the Verge reports.
The vehicles being pushed by Buttigieg are not clean or green as the Biden Administration claims.
Speaking with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Buttigieg was asked to comment on Rubio reportedly calling same-sex marriage legislation a “stupid waste of time” as Americans face so many struggles.
“If he’s got time to fight against Disney, I don’t know why he wouldn’t have time to safeguard marriages like mine. This is really important to a lot of people. It’s important to me,” said Buttigieg.
“Our marriage deserves to be treated equally. I don’t know why this would be so hard for a senator or a congressman,” he continued. “I don’t understand how such a majority of the House Republicans voted no on our marriage as recently as Tuesday, hours after I was in a room with a lot of them, talking transportation policy, having what I thought were perfectly normal conversations — just for them to go around the corner and say my marriage doesn’t deserve to continue. If they don’t want to spend time on this, they can vote yes and move on. That would be really reassuring for a lot of families in America, including mine.”
Rubio later responded with a video posted on Twitter, defending Florida’s recent fight against Disney while vowing to fight for “real problems” currently facing Americans, such as high gas prices.
