The logjam at California's ports for ships to wait is now as long as 17 days - a new record amid the continuing supply chain crisis just weeks before Black Friday and the holidays usually turn spending into overdrive..
There were as many as 83 ships at anchor and in a holding pattern outside ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach as of Friday night, officials said.
The nearly 17-day wait is double the wait time from just two months ago.

Watchdog raises concern about Canadian pension investments in China
Ordered some chicom cheese. Time to worry?
Images of all of those big vessels in the harbor there bring to mind the historic images of the D-Day landings in 1944, and it goes to show that JoeBiden is no Dwight D. Eisenhower.
You mean to say that pResident Chauncey Biden’s threats of fines hasn’t speeded up the process?
Love it
Another manufactured crisis and all part of the left’s risky scheme to fundamentally change America in a clone of communist China. Democrats won’t be happy until you are completely under their heel and have no rights at all. I read an article over at PJmedia about a new method, “Biden’s Banking Chief Nominee Wants to Eliminate Your Private Bank Account”, so give that a look. She actually wants ‘The Fed’ (which is a private bank and NOT a part of the Federal Government, just as Federal Express isn’t) holding your money and doling it out as they see fit. Leftists stole their way into power, and illegally mandate us. The next steps are starving us and taking away our ability to defend ourselves from them.
The alt-far-left don’t do things by accident and they are not stupid. They are insidious and are out to destroy America from within.
It is all being done intentionally. The virus led to lockdowns, then masks, then riots where you couldn’t identify anyone, to more lockdowns and job loss, to a stole election and on from there. They have a plan and they are following it. Communists play a great long game.
Yes, it is. And, for good reason.
From E.O. 13848, now in effect:
"Sec. 2. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security..."
IMO the biggest issue with the movement of shipping containers is California’s ridiculous law that permits only newer trucks to haul in the state. There are not enough of them to do the job. Also is CA’s stupid law against independent contracters many of whom are truck drivers. Finally there is Xiden’s covid payments which has allowed millions of USA citizens to simply not seek work. Many of these unemployed are also truck drivers.
As a believer in strict states rights I don’t see how the Feds are going to solve this situation at least the part that California plays. The only immediate solution is to route container ships to non-California ports. The ports in Oregon and Washington state combined do not have the capacity of CA but they also do not have the shipping restrictions.
I am sure that shipping companies are now configuring container ship loads with CA only loads and non-CA loads. The first group can dock in CA, the others elsewhere. But if that is happening and we see the crisis easing, watch for Obama (the shadow pResident) to instigate legal machinations that will hinder these actions.
Make it all here instead of importing. Problem solved FOREVER and PERMANENTLY.
Quite so. Government is the problem, not the solution.
The truckers want to work, but Gavin Newsom’s Admin passed that insane law that only allows trucks 3 years old & newer into the ports facilities
result - half the trucks aren’t allowed in
next result - container ship backlog
a five-year-old could have figured this out!!
Obviously, California’s ruling Democrats don’t have the intelligence of a five-year-old
