Secretary Mayor Pete Is a Disaster
Townhall.com ^ | Octpber 19, 2021 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 10/19/2021 3:44:28 AM PDT by Kaslin

You know you’re landing serious punches on a liberal when they wrap themselves in their identity in the hope of deflecting criticism. “I expect this kind of attack as a (insert whatever here),” is a favorite of the left, from college campuses to the halls of power in Washington. It’s pathetic, and no self-respecting adult would engage in it, but we aren’t dealing with self-respecting adults, we’re dealing with Democrats, so…

That brings us to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who is not only wrapping himself in his being gay to protect against justifiable criticism, but also hiding behind his two adopted newborns for good measure too. Not exactly father of the year.

Not only would Secretary Mayor Pete not be father of the year, he really has no business being Secretary of Transportation. I’ll just say it – were he not gay, there is no way this former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, would have been considered for the job. He checked boxes, the right boxes with the left, and that was enough.

His only experience related to transportation issues is his fumbled management of the installation of bike paths in South Bend. He literally brings nothing to the table, and for the last two months he’s been away from the table on secret, unannounced paternity leave because he and his husband adopted a set of twins.

Congratulations to them, but honestly, I don’t give a damn and neither should you. Being a Cabinet Secretary is an important job, if you can’t do it, for whatever reason, resign. Moreover, our country is in the midst of a supply chain crisis involving ports and trucking, all of which falls directly into the portfolio of the Transportation Department. If the guy running that department isn’t showing up for work, for whatever reason, he has to go.

Pete should have the integrity to leave the post, but he won’t because he wasn’t hired for his ability or knowledge of the subject at hand, he was hired because he’s gay. In that regard, he’s still fulfilling what he was hired to do.

When it was finally discovered that he’d been off the job for 2 months, Pete didn’t shamefully admit that he is a worthless figurehead no one missed. Fully two of the nine months he’s been “on the job” were spent with him not on the job and no one noticed. The President and Democrats in Congress are fighting to push through a couple of “infrastructure” bills, and infrastructure is his responsibility, and he hasn’t been around for 60 days…and it wasn’t noticed until last week? There is no better argument for eliminating the whole damned department.

Since that won’t happen, it should at least be headed by someone who knows what they’re doing and is willing to show up to do it, especially when there is a crisis. That person is not Pete Buttigieg.

To cover for his failures and indifference, Pete and his allies in the media have accused his critics of homophobia, naturally, and hating children. Meanwhile, vital supplies sit on ships off the west coast because there aren’t enough truck drivers to deliver the goods that have already been unloaded and are sitting on those docks.

You’d think a Secretary of Transportation would be all over this problem, lecturing California for their dumb and damaging AB 5 law, which essentially outlawed independent contracting. A large percentage of the trucking industry operates on independent contracting, which made a lot of employers drop drivers. Add to that the inflated price of gas out there and you’re successfully destroying most of the profit margin for trucking. That leads to fewer truckers, which backs up everything and damages the country. Pete Buttigieg hasn’t done anything about it.

Worse, Pete doesn’t appear to have briefed the President about the reality of the situation either. Joe Biden announced his “game changing” idea was to have the ports in California stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The only problem is, there’s no point to having more hours to unload ships when you don’t have anywhere to put it or anyone to take it away. Maybe Pete was warming some baby formula at the time, just too busy to get that info to the White House?

The fact is Pete Buttigieg was always going to be a joke as Secretary of Transportation, he just has the misfortune of being in that job at one of the rare times that job matters. Simply put, he’s not up to the task. He can hide behind his kids and sexual orientation all he wants, but nothing he can do will change reality. From the border to the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Biden administration isn’t known for holding incompetence accountable. There’s no reason to think they’ll start now. Hope you’re stocked up on what you need for Christmas.

Today’s quiz question: “Who, among Biden’s appointees, is NOT a disaster?” Don’t answer all at once.

Many liberals want to have a job but can’t do the job. Unfortunately, political appointments are not usually merit based. Affirmative action appointments are as flawed as nepotism based appointments, maybe worse.

Nearly the entire Executive Branch is AWOL and nowhere to be seen.

Harris is doing her own thing, which is nothing
Blinken and Austin screwed up Afghanistan and is now in hiding
Yellen is nowhere on inflation

Only Garland is out there attacking political opponents with the FBI and courts

Secretary Mayor Pete Is a Disaster

And his lifestyle is a soul-killer.


 

A BIBLICAL Message about homosexuality



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

================================================

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.

They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
