Perhaps it’s only a lie if he believes it. However, what Joe Biden said in front of an assembled group of G20 leaders was not only a lie, it was so transparently false that world leaders knew Biden was just making stuff up. Truly this is such a false statement you have to wonder if the script writer was intentionally setting up Joe Biden for ridicule.
Unfortunately, none of the media fact-checkers are likely to call him out for this; but, believe me, those world leaders sitting around the table know this level of propaganda is beyond anything even Baghdad Bob would attempt. And yes, it’s also in the transcript.
Given all of the economic impacts crushing the United States working class, Joe Biden’s team thought it would be a good idea politically for his administration to select “Supply Chain Resilience” as the U.S. selected discussion topic for the G20 group. During his introductory propaganda remarks (obviously he did not write), Joe Biden said the following [video at 02:34]:
TRANSCRIPT – […] “Just a few weeks ago, we were able to facilitate an agreement with key unions, retailers, and freight movers to begin operating two of the largest ports in the United States that account for 40 percent of the imports on the West Coast: the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, California. So, we got them to move from 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, to 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.” (read more)
The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and Port of Long Beach (POLB) have never worked 8hr/days Monday through Friday. That is complete, abject and utter nonsense. That statement is so far away from the truth, the light from where truth begins could not catch that statement in a year. Even the ASL interpreter seemed to notice (see below).
Have you ever read a more bureaucratic batch of gibberish that amounts to absolutely nothing? All of the correct corporate linguistics and G20 political catch phrases are in there though. Look:.
…”So, I’m directing my Secretary of State — Secretaries of State and Commerce to chair a multi-stakeholder forum in the beginning of next year to bring all these key parties together with relevant officials from all of our governments to chart a path forward. I look forward to hearing from each of you and finding ways we can work together to increase our resilience and enhance our shared prosperity.”

From a facebook poster I like, his caption was
“The main gate to the Savannah Port Don’t let the media tell you the driver shortage is the problem”
That is Savanna Georgia. The ports in California are the problem. It seems Newsom and company put new EPA regulations on diesel trucks in California that only allow half of the trucks in the nation to enter the state.
yes, I understand that part of the story
but I don’t think that’s the entirety of the story because truckers arriving at California ports experience similar long waits
there’s got to be something going on internal to the California ports as well
there’s a claimed shortage of truck beds on which to place the containers
and fingers pointed at crane operators

“A report from conservative political publication The Washington Examiner described the crane operators at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as “lazy, prone to long lunches and quick to retaliate against complaints,” detailing conversations with six anonymous truck drivers near the Long Beach entry route who were unhappy with the slow pace of the teams working there.”
Possible factors INTERNAL to the port operations, regardless of their clean-energy policies’ effects on independent truckers
LA Port Blasts ‘Lazy’ Crane Operator Report as ‘Inaccurate Characterization’

https://medium.com/@ryan79z28/im-a-twenty-year-truck-driver-i-will-tell-you-why-america-s-shipping-crisis-will-not-end-bbe0ebac6a91
Thanks Chris – I encourage EVERYONE to read that, it’s by far the most insightful and thorough analysis I’ve seen so far
soup to nuts
Not only plausable, Chris, it is the unvanished truth.
From the “Twic” card requirement; hours available to drivers; drivers effectively (when all is said and done) working for minimum wage; freight in the containers being loaded on the floor (no pallets); the time it takes to unload/palletize said freight (per customer specifications); the problem of insufficient “Wheels” for the loaded containers (not so much for the EMPTY containers); the problem of California Air & Resource Board (C.A.R.B.) regulations on emissions; “Stack” trains sitting on the tracks waiting to unload; those very Same idle containers also unable to be reloaded with exports…
All true
Imho, this is not a “Shipping Crisis”, this amounts to an “Economic Embargo”.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/embargo.asp
“An embargo is a government order that restricts commerce with a specified country or the exchange of specific goods.
An embargo is usually created as a result of unfavorable political or economic circumstances between nations. It is designed to isolate a country and create difficulties for its governing body, forcing it to act on the issue that led to the embargo.”
The present “government” of the United “STATES” has embargoed it’s own Nation under the guise of “Covid” and expects the Citizens of this Nation to come to IT to reach a solution.
There is only one solution offered…
That solution, imho, is
“Get Vaccinated”.
As with everything else this “government” has inflicted on it’s citizens, the final solution has
ALWAYS BEEN
VACCINATION!!
It occurred to me after the first paragraph that we simply need more cranes and ports because obviously demand has outstripped supply. Now, where do we park those ships so we can unload them? Ports haven’t gotten any bigger since they were founded of course. We could try to better design traffic flow through that limited space of water to try to get more ships through in the same or less time with more efficient crane placement, usage, etc etc which has probably been done to death. It also occurs to me that Eisenhower faced the same problem trying to unload men, tanks, and equipment onto beaches in Normandy France were there was no port at all or a single crane and yet he did it. Perhaps an actual useful infrastructure item that could probably be paid for out of less than we are going to flush down the toilet every year with the bill they are trying to pass, is to build a completely artificial port off the coast of CA with a dedicated interstate standard highway access that could actually increase berthing space for loading and unloading which from ship to shore would be mostly automated.
better assure those cranes are operating efficiently and at max capacity before demanding taxpayer outlays for more of them

Lazy crane operators making $250,000 a year exacerbating port crisis, truckers say
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/lazy-crane-operators-making-250-000-a-year-exacerbating-port-crisis-truckers-say
Read the article:
Sounds like a lot of idiots have been running things….
But, we know that already.
The article does provide some great insights.
Chris, post by trucker is on zerohedge.com
Isn’t this infrastructure? And isn’t there a bill in Congress by that name? This is the sort of thing they should be addressing. But instead it’s all useless waste. If we had a working government, maybe we could address and solve this problem. Instead we have one bent on destruction, so this problem is probably a feature.
And maybe someone should send this article to fjb since he thinks he knows what’s going on at the ports.
How many of our ports are the Chinese involved with or own outright? They were making deals and buying into our ports/supply chain for the last decade (at least). Nuthin, I repeat nuthin good comes to us when there is Chinese CP involvement.
dunno, but I read one article saying that PresTrump had put a stop to one, maybe Port Everglades
couple years ago I read of a Hillary-backed group trying to take over Port Canaveral but I think that was stopped
I haven’t really researched that topic specifically

Why is anyone shocked? Joe Biden is a Known and Proven Liar, a Plagiarist. I could go on but what is the point.
If we are shocked over the obvious, it’s not worth mentioning.
I won’t even touch on what we already know about the VP.
Or the First Lady.
I just love all the shocking evidence coming out now.
Indeed. He has made up ridiculous boasts for 50 years. The media use to uproariously laugh at him. Now they solemnly nod at these marvelous tails and wise words.?
The Demented Fraud is a national disgrace. Places like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea etc, who’s national defense depends on the US have to be scared to death. Three of the most visible DOD figures, Milley, Austin and that overweight man that dresses like women from the Navy certainly don’t instill a lot of confidence in the US military
Some good things will come out of our fall. Some nations will have to come to their own defense. Better yet, maybe they can ally together and come to our defense in our time of need. We are under siege from a fascist-communist force that threatens to overwhelm us. Help!
(Transportation Secretary) Mayor Pete Buttigieg Campaigns at Pee Wee’s Playhouse
I had to re read that. For a minute, I thought you said Pee Wee’s Butt House.
LOL, it works for Petey parsel tongue, the Howdy doodey look alike who speaks so eloquently, with words that mean nothing. He has it down to an art form. Rush Limbaugh warned about him when he first came onto the scene
I’d trust Pee Wee in his position more than I trust Butty Gig
I really like the next to last line, Jim Crow Joe is lightyears from the Truth, Always!!
The difficult question here is does Biden believe everything he’s being told?
Can he separate truth from false statements?
These questions should be answered.
I think that’s immaterial
He’s not really running anything
but I get your point
29:12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
what’s he doing to their wicks?
you thinking about Butty-Gig?
I feel most people now view the economy as a far greater problem to be addressed than Covid. Politicians who have their agenda on the vaccine and blah blah blah are infuriating working class voters who realize that the Covid train has long shipped out.
Biden has no finger on the pulse. And neither do our Canadian politicians, although some I think are starting to see that their policies of Covid insanity is bringing the country to ruin.
While they were playing up to their globalists overlords, the country decayed beyond repair. Now many will be the victims of elections this spring.
I have no sympathy for them as they try to find answers for an economy that is collapsing. And I don’t feel bad for businesses that signed on to the mandates either because they hoped it would prevent more lockdowns. They all got played.
DD
I’d say, he’s about as qualified for the position, as Trump hating Rino Christine Whitman at the EPA, whose calls for First responders & volunteers trying to assist with the aftermath of the 9/11 Intelligence treason/terror that they did not have to wear breathing protection, resulting in thousands of our fellow Americans deaths and illnesses.
The biggest supply chain issue is blood.
Biden isn’t getting enough oxygen carrying blood to his brain.
ShipwreckedCrew says Biden is governing with Obama’s C Team, like Blinken.
Jack Posobiec (sp?) says there are 2 White House teams, Biden looking to oust Harris for incompetence, and Harris saying Biden is the Titanic.
Funny! Both teams are right! ?!!!
“It’s not a lie if he believes it.”
/s
People in the US care more about their kids’ schools, $5.00 gas, empty supermarket shelves, and the invasion of 2 million illegal border crossers (who were not tested for Covid before being invited in and flown to cities where mayors weren’t informed of their impending arrivals, while we citizens were locked in our homes unable to send our kids to school, attend religious services or to go to the gym to burn off our frustrations.) Eleven months in, Biden doesn’t have a single victory he can point to, and the Dems don’t seem to get that, with the exception of a small miority of left wing loudmouths, Americans are not buying his Agenda.
A single victory? Come on, man!
More people have died from Covid under Biden than under Trump. He’s number one! He’s number one!
Of course, the networks have turned off their covid death watches.
You f*cker. Just let everyone pass the cargo through. One would think that was something a free-trader would want to happen??

WORD SALAD
… the only thing left out is that they’ll BUILD BACK BETTER
Agreed. I also see it as running the clock out. By the time the “multi-stakeholder forum” (if one ever forms) completes its work, the economy will be toast.
The problem has to be solved now, and nobody in the
biden0bama administration has any intention of doing that.And why wait till January?
This problem has to be solved yesterday.
I drifted off after “stake“.
Started thinking: Vlad the Impaler…
I wish some enterprising person or persons would sue him for defamation.
With the severity of the supply chain issues, I can see people being threatened and harassed.
Let’s get Merrick Garland on this lickety split.
Or… Garland lick this spit.
Now Adam Housely is reporting train deliveries are being pilfered in Central Los Angeles. Bedlam.
A 50 cal would stop that pretty quickly.
This might be an excellent use of the national guard. The supply chain situation is awful.
Think of the businesses and consumers that just got rooked out of their property. Then the reimbursement fees, insurances fees and so on.
It’s madness.
when the NG is mentioned, I wonder if he thinks all NG personnel have CDL licenses?
Shades of the wild west. People riding shotgun on the stage coach. Any volunteers?
Ma Deuce works wonders……….
Looks like they need sniper security on those trains.
A few more days worth of that mess piling up and those tracks will be buried in litter.
They could hire military snipers who were not exempted and discharged for not taking the jab.
No wonder I didn’t get my mail order.
I will bet Customs has less time to inspect these containers for meth and fentanyl in LA.

But they have his “word on it – as a Biden.”
Not a joke.
C’mon man.
What blows my mind is how liberals latch on to the “my word as a Biden” as if it means something.
It’s a fabricated sense of honor.
It’s political theater.
It’s comical.
You have my word as a Greg1 that Biden’s word as a Biden is worthless.
“my word as a Biden”
?
As President Trump used to say about Biden, “He’s shot; he’s gone.”
Do I feel sorry for him?
Absolutely not. This not very bright, not very capable person has spent a half century in politics as a snarky, bumbling,lying bully who has insulted countless people who questioned his decisions, statements or actions. He deserves everything bad that has come and is coming his way.

Here is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s simple solution to this trifling problem: /s
“What I can tell you is that we are doing everything for the short term and the long term and we will work through the factors that present themselves as challenges in the terms that we encounter on everything. … The significant problems are not problem of insignificance because they are not important problems, they are significant challenges because of the importance of their significance and we are addressing them in both long and short term solutions. … This is important, not just morally but also economically, because the challenges are what we need to recognize as important maintenance issue challenges.”

If Biden can lie about being a (good) Catholic, he can lie about anything.
Well, like Gruber said “Dem Voters are stupid and will believe any lie you tell them”, so there are probably still some out there who will hear the “8 hours”. and not go “Say WHAT? That doesn’t sound right!”
But for many (soon -to -be – former?) Dem Voters, the 8 hour thang is gonna be yet another Wake Up Call.
Indeed. Just tell them what to believe, and they will.
Must be really hard for the Obama crew. They love the fact that the US is mocked abroad by it’s interests being represented by an imbecilic, incontinent puppet, but they fear the reaction it is creating at home.

Thanks for posting both of the port schedules.
that’s just what I was able to do quickly, and the results of one aren’t in a format that’s easily posted
but it’s apparent they have multiple shifts, not just 8 hrs a day
even before Biden’s “24 hour” edict
The former mayor from a crummy town in Indiana is an “expert” on transportation issues for the United States. Good news is he could have become President but didn’t. The bad news is we got someone corrupt and senile instead.
It would appear incompetence runs deep over there. (The left side,)
Don’t forget. He was a crummy mayor too.
Liars lie. Resident Biden is a liar. Ergo, Biden lies. The supply chain problems are purposeful. At first I thought the supply chain sabotage was “plan B” to leverage more compliance to the jab if it looked like the “scamdemic” and jab mandates looked to be failing to deliver the tyrannical control the Cabal desires, but now I think it’s that + just an “in your face” power play to show us who is in control. They know we know they caused it, and they are just going to lie about it, even though they know we know they’re lying. They always tell us, if we’re listening, what they really intend to do. So the leverage play is “empty shelves until everyone gets jabbed. We made them empty and we’ll keep them empty until everyone is jabbed and there is nothing you can do about it.” This is all a practice run for gun control… they’ll use the same playbook, but probably with fuel/power. “No electricity for your neighborhood until everyone in your neighborhood turns in their guns.” There is no remorse or level of evil leading to death and destruction that they won’t employ.
Biden is our Konstantin Chernenko.
Maybe Vlad Putin was gracious enough to change Quid Pro Joe’s Depends in the little boy’ room. I’m sure he needed assistance.
Wait, so what are the ports normal hours of operation?
Never mind, I saw they usually operate 16 hours a day.
yeah, I clicked a couple links and got a similar impression – multiple shifts
FJB!
But, Mayor Pete said that the problem for the supply was the demand.
And then we were told to “lower our expectations”.
I’m confused ?

All our close friend is a driver at the ports here in So. Cal (he has been working there more than 15 years). According to him the main issues are lack of container storage space, but more important there is a very severe shortage of truck chassis.
There is a large lot on Vermont Ave. just south of Sepulveda Blvd. in West Carson filled with containers, each one on a chassis – row after row. I don’t think they could squeeze another one in. I drove past it last Tues. on my way to my medical center in Harbor City and again on Fri. No change, same containers- everything looked exactly the same. This is just north of the LA port.
Precisely. The foreign leaders don’t follow CNN for their intel updates. They know its a joke. All Bi-Shit did was announce the US gov’s intent to do nothing to address the shortages.
No one doubts PDJT would never have allowed this to happen, and if given the chance, would fix it in a month.
“Completed Early and Under Budget” was the worst we got from that lion.
Those who remember Chatty Kathy—the talking doll-will recognize the wind-up toy Joe Biden, who struggles to pronounce the bullet point phrases he has been given to regurgitate:
“coordination”
“stakeholder synergy”“sustainable competitive advantage”
Okay, I made up the last two but this is more evidence that his speechwriter spoon feeds the President* easy to say sound bites.
Nearly as big a lie as, “I got 81m votes!”
PERSONNEL NOTE: President Biden, (Little Joe, which title do you like best, Mr. President or Godfather?). You may not remember (it was during your first term in the Senate), but one of our investigators sent you a note after we found out that you asked the folks at one of Jimmy Carter’s bible study sessions to pray for you when you found out you were on our subjects list during that investigation regarding the international drug trade and money laundering. The investigator thanked you for giving our work a spiritual aspect, at least for a short period of time. I also sent you a note when you boldly bragged about getting that prosecutor fired in the Ukraine for daring investigate Hunter’s employer. In that note I also praised you for being one of my favorite suspects over the years in that you not only readily admitted your criminal activities after the fact, but so many times over the years you have let us know in advance you were going to trample all over the laws and regulations. I personalty think you deserve the title, Godfather!
