Sen. Chuck Schumer warned that parts of Long Island’s prized beaches and nature reserves have been literally washing away and the Biden Administration has done nothing to replenish the beaches and stem the erosion.

Schumer, the Senate Democratic majority leader from New York, blasted the Army Corps of Engineers for their inaction in failing to restore large chunks of Fire Island’s pristine beaches, which were decimated by a slew of winter storms.

Fire Island helps shield Long Island from violent storms fueled by the Atlantic Ocean, while its status as a favorite summer getaway for city dwellers provides crucial jobs and tax revenue for the local governments in Suffolk County.

Back in the 1980s (or earlier) people worried about beach erosion.
Then people decided to worry that Climate Change was making the oceans rise and would destroy coastlines.
Now we’re back to beach erosion.

But it’s always and everywhere about money.

It is a sandbar. Washing away is natural and inevitable.

Let it wash away and let the queers move back to Manhattan.

Maybe he could get Bidenskyyyyyy to start an illegal alien CCC to “replenish the beaches” instead of wasting taxpayer money so the dead beats can sleep all day in swanky, air-conditioned hotels and party and rape all kinds of objects all night. Bidenskyyyyy’s illegals could use a little hard work in their sick, pitiful lives.

Schumer has been U.S. Senate Majority Leader for almost three years. Schumer has been the U.S. Senator from NY for 24 years. Before that, Schumer was a U.S. Congressman from NY for 18 years. It can’t possibly be Schumer’s inability to get things done. He’s such a boob.

Fire Island is one in a long chain of barrier beaches along the US East Coast, stretching from Maine to Florida.

These are zones of active transport. They are basically shifting sandbars.

We have the choice of letting nature take it’s course, or alternatively, literally shoveling sand against the tide.

If Sodom had beaches, it would resemble Fire Island.

No doubt that Schmucky is intimately aware of, and has first hand knowledge of, what is transpiring at Fire-pants Island beach.

His daughter, Alison, has a “wife” named Elizabeth.

So he is quite comfortable with the shenanigans at Fire-pants Island.
