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.

Three of those jail terms are for mocking Levine. one was for showing that the Amazon warehouse hangman’s knot was not a hangman’s knot. I posted how to tie a proper knot and BAM! instant 30 days.
“I bet he likes trains.”
Especially the caboose.
“the transportation secretary’s skills and experience”
???
Incompetents, posers, phonies and just fundamentally nonserious people from the top down.
They said you was high class
Well that was just a lie
This story underscores the idea that the Democrat officials from Biden on down, are just like actors playing a role. They don’t do any real work except read what their staff writes for them.
I can totally see where a mayor of South Bend, IN has the knowledge and experience to lead a Federal organization that impacts lives and livelihoods of a millions of Americans. Good choice Brandon...
Xi told Biden it was OK.
