U.S. MILITARY ON PUERTO RICO: “THE PROBLEM IS DISTRIBUTION” AND HERE’S WHY
Huffington Post ^ | 9/29/17 | Penelope Jean Hayes

Posted on 09/30/2017 6:23:38 PM PDT by angelrod

Col. Valle is a firsthand witness of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) response supporting FEMA in Puerto Rico, and as a Puerto Rican himself with family members living in the devastation, his passion for the people is second to none. “It’s just not true,” Col. Valle says of the major disconnect today between the perception of a lack of response from Washington verses what is really going on on the ground. “I have family here. My parents’ home is here. My uncles, aunts, cousins, are all here. As a Puerto Rican, I can tell you that the problem has nothing to do with the U.S. military, FEMA, or the DoD.”

Just need a few tanks to flatten out or push aside anything in the roads. A D-10 or two would get the roads open pretty fast.

“Then the mayor needs to drive one of those supply trucks behind a bulldozer and get the supplies to her people before they all die.”

And she can also hand-deliver the PHONY “We’re All Gonna Die!” T-shirts that those PUKES from CNN gave her to wear on the their Enemy Media Anti-American news broadcast with Anderson Pooper!

*SPIT*

Scroll and read...some good pushback from locals. Our guys are busting their butts.

The mayor...interesting character. She’s a hard-core leftist.

It’s kind of like a John Wayne movie. At first the bad guys have him surrounded 10-1 and there’s no way out. Then ... John Wayne! lol

One other thing....we are winning! The left can’t get away with their lies because we have the truth on our side. I love how conservatives have become so social media savvy that we use their tools against the liberals. Also, as a someone who has both parents who were born in PR, i am proud of all the other conservative PR’s who don’t let the socialists get away with their crap anymore. All thxs to Trump! He’s empowered us!

Interesting. If that could be proven or at least verified or validated it would blow up. That’s an extraordinary story. I’m skeptical, though given the corruption evident in PR government, it’s possible.

call your teamsters union. Apparently they’re recruiting.

The PR port union drivers won’t move the cargo. The Teamsters Union here stateside is mobilizing boatloads of drivers to go down there and move it anyway. It promises to be an interesting situation of ‘the’ union versus a territory’s union. But probably not as dangerous as Iraq. ;)
