Puerto Rico Teamsters Union Refuse to Deliver Supplies Use Hurricane Maria as Contract Leverage…
Conservative Tree House ^ | Sept 30, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 09/30/2017 3:10:33 PM PDT by HarleyLady27

Puerto Rican born and raised, Colonel Michael A. Valle (”Torch”), Commander, 101st Air and Space Operations Group, and Director of the Joint Air Component Coordination Element, 1st Air Force, responsible for Hurricane Maria relief efforts, has the following comment:

…They have the generators, water, food, medicine, and fuel on the ground, yet the supplies are not moving across the island as quickly as they’re needed.

“It’s a lack of drivers for the transport trucks, the 18 wheelers. Supplies we have. Trucks we have. There are ships full of supplies, backed up in the ports, waiting to have a vehicle to unload into. However, only 20% of the truck drivers show up to work. These are private citizens in Puerto Rico, paid by companies that are contracted by the government”.. (link)

Meanwhile, amid floods and lack of power the Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz, finds a way to get propaganda T-Shirts to politicize the tragedy on very fake news CNN.

Go figure.

Please. You basically regurgitate what a lot of never trumpers say. Plus your also new here. As if you all don’t also base your opinions on a predetermined bias assumption about anyone who actually supports Trump. One thing I love what Trump has done is rip the mask off all you so called conservative critics. Show them to be hypocrites.

...and they (leftards) will blame Trump. The left lives for this sh*t. They were sooo disappointed that the previous two Hurricanes did not get as political.

I knew even before the storm hit that the Left were getting their stories together to go after Trump.

Uh, first of all I have supported Trump since the first day he came down the escalator and announced his run. So your inaccurate assumption that I am a Never Trumper is wrong. Go back to CTH where any criticism is deemed anti trump. You have proved my point.

And two, I am not new here unless you consider about fifteen years new. Dont assume because the current profile looks new that it was the original date one started. Once again, critical thinking, it works.

I go anywhere I please thank you but especially where there is truth and analysis. Now go back to drudge and breitbart where you can be fed your daily dose of regurgitated flap from articles linked to mainstream media stories.
