A U.S. military-built pier off Gaza’s coast is being temporarily removed after a part of the structure broke off, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, in the latest blow to efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
The pier was announced by U.S. President Joe Biden in March and involved the military assembling the floating structure off the coast. Estimated to cost $320 million for the first 90 days and involve about 1,000 U.S. service members, it went into operation two weeks ago.

Since the pier began operations, the United Nations has transported 137 trucks of aid from the pier – the equivalent of 900 metric tons – said a U.N. World Food Programme spokesperson
$320 million for 137 trucks. That’s over $233,000 per truck. Hope they are hauling something valuable

Add the 320 million on top of the $95 billion Afghanistan boondoggle and we’re starting to talk about real money.I’m starting to worry about American exceptionalism.

Ignorant infidels propping up a TOTALITARIAN IDEOLOGY with IRS confiscated taxpayer money. Any “representative” standing against this?

The Pier was to be eventually used to transport Palestinians and Hamas into America, make no mistake.
Hamas and the Palestinians aren’t allowed into any surrounding Islamic nations…no one will take them…..senile Joe insists we take many of them, one way or another.

On a happy note, while the acid reflux has me up at 2:33 A.M. on an IDF base in the Negev, Israel, there is the soothing sound of 250 lb. JDAMs in the distance pounding ham ass in Gaza.

Jeez, we need back some of the greatest generation who were able to pull off the D-Day invasion with operating piers established quickly while under fire.
Idiots are running things now. But of course back during WW2 they did not have to contend with all the leftist and Did-not-earn-it parasites weakening our forces.
