Pier is Sinking

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 5/28/2024 4:40:53 PM

After spending nearly $400 million to construct a "humanitarian pier" in the Gaza Strip, which President Joe Biden announced during his State of the Union address in March, the formerly floating nightmare is sinking into the sea and operations have been suspended. (X) Last week the pier broke apart and washed up on the beach in Israel. Republican Congressman Michael Waltz called it "FUBAR." (Snip) Shortly after the pier broke apart the Pentagon admitted all of the aid distributed from the floating location, which has repeatedly come under attack by Hamas, was stolen by the terrorist organization. The White House has not officially weighed in on the disaster.

Comments:

A piece of the pier broke off. Aw, pshaw!

Haul it away, salvage what is salvagable and just stop wasting money and time to FUND TERRORISTS. Every penny that goes into Gaza funds terrorists. Just stop it. Any non-terrorists will MOVE if we stop paying and feeding them. Like feeding feral cats, stop feeding them and they'll just go away after whining a while.

Here's hoping FJB campaigns on another success in his quiver. $ millions for the bridge, $ millions for the aid. Shot to hell. It really wasn't a disaster. The pier did get built and Hamas was able to replenish their supplies so someone actually did get something out of this whole fiasco. Looking good Joe. Idiot. And lucky us, the taxpayer, we get to pay for it.

FTA: The 12-day life of Biden’s $320 million pier: May 17: “Aid flows into Gaza over massive U.S. pier” May 21: “None of the aid from U.S. pier has been delivered” May 25: Pier damaged but “still functional” TODAY: “Pier operations suspended after piece breaks off" Isn't it just like the reverse Midas O'Biden administration to make such a comprehensive mess out of everything it touches?

From an embedded link in the article: CNN reported previously that JLOTS can only be operated safely in a maximum of 3-foot waves and winds less than approximately 15 miles per hour. There is no coastline on earth - including anywhere in the Mediterranean Sea - that doesn't see conditions much, much worse than that. Who approved the procurement of this thing in the first place? And now two of our landing craft are beached and Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh says, “I believe most of our soldiers were able to remain on the vessels and still are currently on them." In other words, boots are on the ground in Gaza.

Re #8, my bet is that they were intended for use in crossing rivers, not for this application, which you rightfully point out is a serious mismatch in capability. My bet is that Joe said "Can't you guys build a pier or something?" The General: "Well, sir, we can build a floating pier, but our floating pier systems aren't intended for those sorts of conditions, and ......" Joe, "Hell, I don't give one G-- damn what conditions they are intended for, DO IT, or you are going to be looking for a new job tomorrow, general!" The General: "Yes, sir!" And all the Colonels, LtCols, Majors and Captains down the chain of command said...."Hell, any fool knows that this isn't going to work. What idiot came up with THIS idea? .......Oh, THAT idiot. I guess we're doing it."

It's a good thing the winds blew from Swest to Neast...and the parts, pieces, and boats floated ashore in Israel, not Gaza, Not Egypt,certainly not Lebanon or Syria. It's perhaps interesting to note that the last time this pier was used was in Haiti...look how well it solved THAT Nations problems.

I have to wonder if our boots on the beach in Gaza built it so that it would do exactly that. Maybe just a little revenge for what Pedo Joe is doing to our military. Or maybe a campaign donation for Trump.

Pretty sure Biden aides working on a plan to divert government funds designated for Americans (maybe senior medical care $ or maybe education $ for low-income kids) to keep the Hamas terrorists alive, fat and happy, so they can defeat Israel and then start planning our demise.

This mess is a perfect metaphor for Biden, Inc. He and his minions are a non stop, incompetent, disaster. They spend massive amounts of money trying to do stupid things and everything crashes and burns. BO's comment that “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” is a testament to the reality of Biden World.

Charges against Scottie Scheffler in PGA
Championship arrest dismissed

The charges against 10-time PGA Tour winner Scottie Scheffler were dismissed on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after he was arrested just before the second round of the PGA Championship in Kentucky. Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell addressed the court and filed a motion to have all charges against the two-time major winner dismissed after finding in the prosecutor’s investigation that the evidence corroborated his claim that it was all a "misunderstanding." Scheffler, 27, was facing four charges including felony assault over injuries a Louisville Metro Police Department officer sustained during the encounter on May 17.

California could be a much nicer place to live if some of the progressives who run the place would stop trying their best to make everything more expensive. California has had blackouts and despite this came close to shutting down its last nuclear reactor. In 2022, Gov. Newsom finally had second thoughts on that after the Biden administration offered a boatload of money to reverse course and keep the last reactor running. But despite moments of lucidity, the state and the governor seem determined to set the state's next energy crisis in motion. Last year the state passed a bill called SBX1-2 which was brandished by

Lola is the title of a song released by The Kinks in 1970. The song chronicles the romantic misadventures between a young man and a transgendered woman named Lola who, "walked like a woman but talked like a man.” Lola may provide a surprise in the bedroom or in a London nightclub, inspiration for the song, but such surprises are most unwelcome, and unfair, on the athletic field. Such sports stories have become all too common, representative of the new normal of our gender-confused culture where athletic organizations, high schools, and colleges don’t seem able to distinguish between boys and girls or men and women.

Donald Trump’s resilience in the polls as he endures the bogus trial in Manhattan has befuddled the political left. "Why isn't Trump's trial hurting him?” leftists ask. They can’t understand it because they’re so blinded by their hatred for Trump that they can’t see that his legal troubles don't stem from a fair justice system but a biased system motivated by politics. The polls prove it as they show that the public believes the criminal charges are politically motivated. The Biden campaign is panicking about the situation and decided to revise its strategy of largely ignoring the trial to sending actor Robert DeNiro to the Manhattan courthouse to troll Trump.

The same day the Biden administration and European Union offered their condolences over the death of Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi, the "Butcher of Tehran," the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, sought the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli war council members over imaginary war crimes. The first question we need to ask is: Karim Khan and what army? It's not worth taking a deep dive into the intricacies of law and war, because Hamas does not recognize any moral or legal restrictions on warfare and the ICC has no real jurisdiction over anyone, anyway. Khan says, "Nobody is above the law."

The phrase “virtue signaling” had not come into full vogue at that time, but that's exactly what it was. What do we mean by virtue signaling? It is when individuals or groups conspicuously exhibit their point of view on social issues. To be frank, virtue signaling is a non-taxing exercise

In a memo published on May 8th, Xavier Becerra, Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced a new plan to address “racial inequities” in the organ transplant industry. The plan, which covers 90 of the 257 transplant hospitals in the U.S., proposes a points system to grade the included hospitals. Under this points system, a hospital earns a point for any successful kidney transplant, but 1.2 points for a kidney transplant with a low-income recipient as part of a “health equity performance adjustment.” While the system is ostensibly colorblind, the Biden administration’s announcement gives race as a motivating factor: Becerra stated that the policy represents the Biden administration

They think a Hamas ammunition storage facility may be to blame: The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that a hidden store of weapons may have been the actual cause of a deadly blaze in southern Gaza’s Rafah, and that an airstrike that targeted an adjacent area had used small munitions that would not ignite such a fire on their own.

There are two times people make really bad mistakes: When they’re over-confident and when they’re desperate. The Biden administration is not over-confident. Desperation is why it dragged out an over-the-hill, minimally coherent, not-very-bright actor to be its spokesman regarding the show trial that Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan have staged in Manhattan to try to sideline Trump’s increasingly successful candidacy. The big headline was that Robert De Niro spoke outside the courthouse where the Trump trial was being held.
