Longshoremen aren’t on strike.

My understanding is the trucks if older than 11 years don't meet the emission standards of the state of California. In other words they don't have enough trucks that meet the legal standards, so you have the backlog.

SOMEONE is in charge of inspecting the truck "at the gate" and determining THAT truck "is not allowed, and I'll guess that "gate keeper" is a member of the Longshoremen's union, thus ... the union is ultimately the perpetuater of commie newsome's illegal and inane truck regulations.

SOMEWHERE along the line, SOMEone is going to have to start our next civil war with a charge, a bullet and a stampede to "git 'er done"

I'm too old to even breathe correctly, but BY GOD, I'd start the damned thing !

This is God's America Satan is screwing up !

No, that's a story made up for political reasons.

"...residents of the Wilmington neighborhood just north of the ports have complained that trucks are backed up in the streets at all hours."

The air traffic controllers were Federal employees.
Longshoremen aren’t .

The port isn’t working 24/7.

Not all working cranes are in operation.

Empty trucks are being told to leave.

Its not just the BS emission standards.

Something else is going on.

Could it have anything to do with the Ports America sale...?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It's not just about trucks.

Canada's CPPIB to buy Ports America from Oaktree to further infrastructure push

Watchdog raises concern about Canadian pension investments in China

Guess who's running our major ports now?

No he wouldn't. They aren't federal employees.

>>In other words they don’t have enough trucks that meet the legal standards, so you have the backlog.<<

All in 10 months? Come on man! lol

It’s that, but many many other things enacted by these leftist that is dragging us to a halt.

How could we go from energy independence, jobs coming back to America, unemployment all time lows, lower taxes/regulation, tightened borders, economy cranking on all cylinders to cities burning, history being erased, racial division, social-economic division, Trans this, homosexual that, supply chain seizing up, hyperinflation, millions pouring across the Southern border, federal government agencies again being weaponized against law abiding Americans in just ten months?

LEFTIST! This is not Joe Biden. Biden is merely following a script. It is not socialism. This is pure naked communism.

We’ve law’d upon law’d upon law’d up to paralyze citizens into inaction. The federals are picking and choosing who faces the wrath of the law. Protestors and parents being made examples of while thugs, criminals, antifa/BLM types murder, loot, burn and destroy...even government assets with lil or no consequences.

Parents push back against communist indoctrination of their kids and they get the feds sicced on them.

The wokist left wants to destroy the US economy. Its purposeful.

How do we know?

Joe Biden,the Obama Sock Puppet, CNN Town Hall:

Q: Would you send in the national guard to help with the port of Los Angeles?

Biden: Indeed I would,,,its becoming necessary......

*******************************

Jen Pasaki 2 days later:

Peter Doucy of Fox News:" Will the president use the national guard to solve the propblem at the Port of Los Angeles?"

Jen Sucky Psaki: " No request for deployment of the National Guard is being considered at his time..such deployment would depend on the State of California ........blah, blah , blah."

Conclusion:

The Commie Unions rule in Port Los Angeles.

The Dems want to destroy one more aspect of the US economy, creating shortages of food stuffs and other necessities in the middle of a pandemic. They want a "Revlooshun!"Then they want to build back better? They want radical racial and ethnic minorities in charge.They want the Uited Socialist States of America. They want to destroy the Constitution.

They will fail if WE patriots ACT.

Buahahahahahaha!

I can see every gate way to Port LA on Google Maps. Note each guard shack, create a diversion inside the port with a group of strippers on a container top with music, and then blow up every gate and guard shack simultaneously along with the Union Buildings? Is that where we are at?

See this: The Union Hates America First

“VIII The basic aspiration and desires of the workers throughout the world are the same. Workers are workers the world over. International solidarity, particularly to maritime workers, is essential to their protection and a guarantee of reserve economic power in times of strife.”

https://www.ilwu.org/about/ten-guiding-principles/

I agree. The Union IS the problem.They are violating national security.

Reagan or Trump would have suspended the California emission standards for interstate trucks on “national security” grounds and IMHO it would be proper to do so. The “Biden” administration could do it today, but they won’t. The think this crisis works to their favor.

Longshoremen are not the issue. A backlog of empty containers and California’s restrictive laws on trucks is the issue.
