At a conference this morning, Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg, aka Pothole Pete, failed to mention the 50-car train derailment in Ohio. It led to a controlled burn sending some poisonous gases into the air in East Palestine, Ohio, and in the direction of Pennsylvania and New York City. Some people complained of fish and livestock dying after the plumes permeated the air.
Buttigieg did, however, say too many white people work construction. He’s still on the racist jobs, racist roads, racist everything. His solution is to hire people by race.
He should really address this with the unions. Apparently, he thinks blue-collar jobs are too privileged.
Mr. Buttigieg, the son of a famous Marxist professor, seems to have strange priorities. Forget derailments, but look for ways to have fewer whites in blue-collar jobs?
USA Today reports: on the derailment Days after crews released and burned toxic chemicals carried by a train that wrecked in Ohio, residents were concerned about toxic substances that could be lingering in their evacuated neighborhoods.
About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash Friday in East Palestine, according to rail operator Norfolk Southern and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Vinyl chloride was released into the air Monday from five of those cars before crews ignited it to get rid of the highly flammable toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke.
The chemicals are still lingering, people are finding dead fish and animals, and it’s heading for New York City. We can’t speak to the other chemicals.
The derailment should have been mentioned:

Guy is such a silly freak it’s comical.
What a piece of work, this queer.
He has to show he is willing to take on completely unsupportable assertions to obtain the street cred. It's hilarious.
Project Veritas, if they caught Chasten in a surprise interview, and got him to disparage Butt and being a fake "Dad" -- which he surely would -- Butt would be forced to resign.
"One of the best 2020 campaign self-pwns was Charlotte Alter's longform piece on Buttf@g that managed to include every single qweenie slay f@ggotry that his queer 'roommate' verbally diarrhea'd.It was f'ing hilarious -- not just the verbatim quotes, but that Alter had genuinely not meant it as a hit piece on Butt.
But as soon as it came out, Butt's handlers Lis Smith and Mike Schmuhl were forced put a tight lid on this prancing, mincing Chasteen fool so as not to wreck Iowa -- of course Butt lost the rest of the primaries.
Note that Chasten has never been allowed to solo with any journolist lest he pin the tail on the donkey Butt.
But read this excerpt from Alter. It's a goldmine!
"On a Sunny Monday morning, Buttigieg is musing about redeeming American credibility abroad, sipping from his coffee mug emblazoned with JFK’s face, when his husband plops onto the living-room couch, picks up the blanket next to him and throws it on the floor in mock disgust. “Do we have to have this hideous blanket?” he said. The blanket is full of dog hair. “Can we put our nice blanket there?”"Buttigieg met Chasten Glezman, then a Chicago grad student, on the dating app Hinge in 2015. They talked over FaceTime for a few weeks before Chasten drove to South Bend for their first real date, at an Irish bar famous for its Scotch eggs.
"Pete hates the way Chasten folds T-shirts. Chasten gets grumpy when they go too long without food, and Pete doesn’t get it. “You’re like, ‘Oh, here, I packed a bag of almonds and a thing of beef jerky,’” Chasten says. “I hate nuts, and he eats nuts all the time.” “High in protein, good for you,” Pete counters. “See!” Chasten says. “I want a meal, and he’s like, ‘We’ll just have a handful of nuts.’” Also, he tells his husband, “You do chew really loudly.”
Too many whites in construction? I remember when they were building the new arena in Orlando the mayor gave a speech and bragged, yes bragged about how many businesses owned by blacks and women were given set-aside contracts and not required to bid. I think it was around 30% of the total.
All public contracts that use even a tiny bit of federal money have to have set-asides for DBE and WBE subcontractors. Typically the set-asides are expressed as a minimum % participation. The bigger the project, the higher the set-aside %.
I would say that there’s a ton of hispanics as well.
The Mohawk still exist and still help build skyscrapers and bridges all over the US. No safety belt. My Dad worked with some, and watched one guy fall off the scaffold under the highest point of the bridge they were sandblasting and painting far above the bay. My Dad instinctively reached for him but fortunately my Dad had his safety belt on.
There are too many fags in America. So what’s your point?
Whatever happened to that recording of him when he was the Mayor? That ever leak out?
I guess they’re guarding that like they did when Soetero spoke at that dinner with the Muslims.
He hasn’t been down south.. ever... has he.
Do you want it fast, cheap. Or good??
You only get to pick 2
“Not to mention, most construction crews I see in my area are run by Latinos.”
That is my observation as well, and a darn good job they do also. I suppose they must be too white. Duh....
Whyte and Hispanic MEN are well represented in the construction trades.
It’s pretty hard work unless you work for State DOT.
I think there’s too many gays in Bidens ADMINISTRATION.

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”

“You are a slow learner, Winston.”
“How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”
“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”
