It will be interesting to see how the brainless among us who go the grocery store in a week or so and shelves in many areas are empty and the prices on many other things have gone up.

Biden/Harris stand in solidarity with the Unions.

The Tate Hartley Act should be invoked. Our economy is teetering on recession.Arms supply to our allies? Forgedabowdit!

Trump would never have let the issues get this far, the problem would have been solved early.Biden is on the beach.....playing pudding pud with Jill.Harris is too busy grooming her word salads. Such incompetence.

And you’re named after a Psalm lol?

Their eyes stand out with fatnass, they have more than they can wish..

Hey, like a person who is thrilled that they have plenty to eat while others are dying AND likely soon starving after a devastating hurricane and now the strike.

That Psalm is for you! :)

A bit self-righteous there, consider this verse
Genesis 41:35
Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and let them guard it.

There is nothing wrong with storing resources as a preparation against troubled times.

Being compassionate and giving to those in need does not mean one must do so such that you become dependent as well and can not provide for you and your family with the resources the Lord gives you.

Also consider Christ’s words here:
Matthew 15:4For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ 5But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’ 6he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.…

“Suspend ALL foreign aid RIGHT NOW”

Off the current strike topic - suspend ALL foreign aid period and permanently until we have a balanced budget.

The folks who own the ports and points of entry have endorsed Biden. The globalist puppet masters will not hurt them.
The union members are largely MAGA

Mebe Mayor Pete can get those illegals to don their backpacks and move goods over the border then around the Country.....

77% raise.. insane. To bad Reagan wasn’t still alive, they’d all be fired.

"Hey, like a person who is thrilled that they have plenty to eat while others are dying..."

Hey, I've got a family to provide for - I'm not a communist, this is MY responsibility.

And you have no idea how much time and treasure I pour in to those less fortunate than me.

Try pulling that plank ouit of YOUR eye, brother.

And bring all of our major ports under AMERICAN control.

Why is nobody looking at who runs our major ports.
