As Americans took to social media to post pictures of bare shelves, we learned that Transportation Secy Pete Buttigieg has been on tax paid paternity leave since August. He got the job as a reward for dropping out of the presidential race and throwing his support to Joe Biden — and because he likes trains, having gotten engaged at a train station.
When the country is having supply-chain problems, the transportation secretary’s skills and experience, let alone availability, become rather, uh, indispensable.
The public didn’t even learn about Buttigieg’s break at the start, but only after transportation-related problems exploded around us. Who’s running the shop? Anyone?
This is all in keeping with the way a distracted, carefree, ideological Biden administration has operated the whole time.
In September, the president took a weekend beach trip as the disaster on our southern border blew up and 14,000 Haitian migrants camped out under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas. As the US pullout from Afghanistan turned into an unmitigated disaster, the president disappeared — surfacing later to claim it was an enormous “success.”
Now, as Americans start to worry about stocking their cupboards and buying Christmas presents, Biden goes more than a week refusing to take any questions. Sorry, but this is unacceptable, no matter who’s president.
Maybe we should’ve known: After all, Biden hid in his basement for much of his presidential campaign, and his aides routinely called early “lids,” telling the press the candidate would be unavailable for the day.
According to economists, the lack of goods being able to arrive at port have been feeding inflation which is already very high.

Doesn’t matter....... Pete’s queer, that’s all
Buttigieg shows disturbing signs of being heterophobic.
As the supply chain port crisis festers, Buttigieg has been on tax-paid 12 week maternity leave, and had plenty of time to do interviews for People magazine about his homo life.......
Buttigieg’s self-serving decision to take paternity leave undermines hetero taxpayers interests.......the ones paying his salary.

Give the guy a break.
I hear Pete is suffering post partum depression and has been spotting.............is also learning how to breast feed.
Our DemonRat overlords don’t care about the chaos, just so long as they remain in power. Plus with their media propaganda machine not broadcasting how stupid and incompetent they are. The mass media sins of omission are very powerful.
Meanwhile, the CCP is on the ball with hypersonic missile launches, and screwing with Taiwan where the chip foundries are, such as world leading TSMC. In fact I am positive that CCP is intimidating Taiwan in order to get TSMC and other Taiwan chip makers to send their chip output where CCP wants them to.
Then you have Putin/Russia controlling natural gas flow and prices, the nat gas going into Germany and Europe
because he likes trains
No comment.
Pete Buttgig is as successful as a Secretary of Transportation as he is as a wet nurse.
I bet he likes trains.
......the CCP is on the ball with hypersonic missile launches.......
We may never know how much help they got from the money hungry Bidens WRT where to steal US Technology.
F-you Joe Biden.
As for queer Pete? a pathetic joke and i do not give a damn if he’s queer, he just is pathetic at his job.
America (indeed the world) is undergoing a crisis that has been building for over a hundred years.
The has slowly been infiltrating all aspects of our culture from politics, to entertainment, to news outlets, education, unions and the list goes on.
Individuals are attracted to the utopian goal of free everything without any consequences. Like a drug addict willing to sell their souls for that next fix.
Socialism is a drug. Individual are looking for the next thing that will make their life perfect as they destroy themselves taking everyone down with them.
It is not hopeless. They say some can not change until they hit rock bottom, perhaps that is true of societies as well. We (the entire world) is about to hit rock bottom.
The bottom line is socialism can not and never will work for the simple reason - human nature. It is not natural for one individual to work hard only to have the fruits of their labor taken away to be given to someone that refuses to work.
We are seeing the beginning of a revolution. Not with guns and violence (although it may reach that point) but in protest and individuals going Galt.
So the Secretary of Transportation is doing us all a favor by not showing up on his job. It just speeds up the fall to rock bottom.
Never ascribe to incompetence that which can be construed as malfeasance.
FTA-———This is all in keeping with the way a distracted, carefree, ideologically left Biden administration operates......
No, Biden did not win. It was a massive fraud. More like a coup d'etat than an actual election. The author should have put "won" in quotation marks.
THIS JUST IN-——Cabinet secretaries are not eligible for the same paid family leave benefits that federal workers are.
“Individuals in the executive branch who are appointed by the President to positions in the Executive Schedule are not covered by the leave system,” a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management said.
“They do not earn leave and serve at the pleasure of the President. The President can choose to allow him to take time off.”

Personally I think it’s better when they’re on vacation.
