Buttigieg on supply chain gridlock: Biden's plan is working
afn ^ | 10/19/21 | Chris Woodward

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg doesn't appear to be concerned that U.S. supply chain issues likely will continue into 2022.

"That's the one thing he is correct about," says Peter St. Onge, research fellow for The Heritage Foundation, a center-right think headquartered in Washington, D.C. "This administration has no plan, boots on the grounds are saying it's getting worse, and Wall Street and companies are warning [the issue could persist into] 2022, possibly even 2023."

Buttigieg made his comments to Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" program, adding that part of what is happening isn't just the supply side:

"It's the demand side. Demand is off the charts. Retail sales are through the roof. And if you think about those images of ships, for example, waiting at anchor on the West Coast? Every one of those ships is full of record amounts of goods that Americans are buying – because demand is up, because income is up, [and] because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.

Pete and Chasten Buttigieg Reveal Their Twins’ Names with First Family Photo: ‘Beyond Thankful’

CREDIT: PETE BUTTIGIEG/TWITTER
Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten Buttigieg just added two new additions to their family.

After revealing their joyous fatherhood news last month, the U.S. secretary of transportation, 39, posted the first black-and-white family photo of himself and Chasten, 32, each holding one of their swaddled newborn twins. The couple welcomed a boy and a girl, revealing their names in the post.

“Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we’re becoming parents,” they wrote in a joint statement. “We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family.”

The growing family was immediately showered with congratulatory comments. “Congrats you two!! Beautiful!” wrote Sophia Bush. “Congrats you two!!!!!” Jesse Tyler Ferguson commented. “Congrats!!!!” added Charlie Carver and Bobby Berk. Emmy Rossum commented with a series of prayer hands and heart eye emojis.

Pete previously announced that he and Chasten were parents on Twitter last month. “For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family. We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve become parents!” he wrote.

“The process isn’t done yet and we’re thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us,” Pete added. “We can’t wait to share more soon.”

The former presidential candidate married Chasten, a middle school teacher, in June 2018, after they met on Hinge and began dating in 2015. They’ve since been open about their desire to start a family, telling PEOPLE they’re “excited” about becoming parents. “We’re just navigating those conversations,” Chasten said in September 2020.

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.”

Being retired, I'm in the grocery stores I frequent (Publix and Winn-Dixie) 2 or 3 times a week. I am not seeing more people in the stores than before. Actually, I see fewer!

We live in a large swath of land between two small cities to which no one delivers (can't even get pizza deliveries here!), so we have to go in to get supplies.

I agree.

“The Plan” is working perfectly.

Except it’s not Biden’s plan. He’s just a meat puppet.

“The Plan” is to bring the U.S. to its knees, because, as George Soros is so fond of saying, the U.S. is the biggest obstacle to global governance.

Clue: it’s not Jobama’s plan! It’s the NWO ruling elite’s plan designed in part to collapse the American economy. Jobama is just their criminal in the WH. FJB!
