You might remember on October 13, 2021, Joe Biden delivered widely carried remarks about specific actions his administration was taking to increase operations at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB).
Here we take a closer look at the claims since the original announcement, and then highlight the actual results from the ports. The port operations are actually doing worse today than they were in October. They are less efficient, less productive and have offloaded less freight in November than they did in October. The factual results are exactly the opposite of the administration claims.
The October 13, 2021, White House fact sheet is HERE, “announcing a series of public and private commitments to move more goods faster, and strengthen the resiliency of our supply chains, by moving towards 24/7 operations at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.” On November 17, 2021, the White House gave an update, “Recent Progress at Our Ports: Moving Cargo and Filling Shelves” and claiming the increased hours of operations were delivering on the White House expectations of increased productivity and offloading capacity.
Throughout these past 11 weeks, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg have been claiming their supply chain task force has been successful in generating exceptional results and removing the backlog at the ports, specifically the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. However, if we look at the actual records from both ports, we find exactly the opposite:
Ports record their data in 20-foot equivalent units, or TEU’s. The Port of Los Angeles data shows they handled 468,713 import containers in October, and 405,309 in November. That’s a decrease of 63,404 import containers from the prior month. [DATA LINK]
The Port of Los Angeles is the largest port of the two. The POLA also showed a decrease in Total TEU’s handled (import and export). As you can see above, the total TEU’s handled in October was 902,643. The total TEU’s handled in November was 811,459.
That’s a decrease of 91,184 total containers handled. This is the exact opposite of what Biden, Harris and Buttigieg are claiming.
♦ Next, we look at the Port of Long Beach (POLB). [DATA HERE]
Again, we note the Total Loaded containers (carrying cargo) in October 2021, the month of the White House announcement, was 507, 214. In the full month of November 2021, the total of loaded containers handled was 472,215. That’s a decrease of 34,999 containers.
.
There is a disconnect between what the White House, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg are saying, and the actual results of what is taking place at the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles. They claim hours of operation have expanded to increase capacity, yet fewer containers are being handled?
Perhaps the administration did not expect anyone to check when they claimed on November 29th:
“The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach—which handle 40 percent of the country’s containerized imports—continue to show improvement in moving containers out of the docks and into warehouses.” [White House link]
Despite what the White House Supply Chain Disruption Taskforce is claiming, the actual records from the ports do not concur. Someone is clearly lying, and/or not expecting anyone to check.
There’s a strong possibility they did not expect anyone to notice, because part of their logistical scheme involved telling the ship operators to wait further offshore so that it would give the illusion of less congestion near port:
CALIFORNIA – […] “Starting Nov. 16, ships waiting to anchor at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will have to wait for a green light about 150 miles from the coast, the Pacific Merchant Shipping Assn., the Pacific Maritime Assn. and the Marine Exchange of Southern California said in a statement Thursday. That compares with 20 nautical miles (23 miles) now. North- and southbound vessels must remain more than 50 miles from the state’s coastline.” (read more)
Apparently, what the White House taskforce did was to move the line of awaiting cargo ships further offshore to make them less visible. Then, it appears, the White House just started making up talking points about productivity at the ports increasing and capacities expanding; neither claim is based on facts that surface in the actual operations of the ports.
The outcomes speak for themselves. Both the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach handled less cargo and fewer containers in the first full month of the “new expanded operations” than they did in the previous month when the expanded operations were announced.
In order to remind ourselves how big an issue this was for the White House, watch the Biden announcement from October 13, 2021, again.

It looks like the media need to start asking questions….
Oh wait, never mind.
I shall print that on a tee shirt tomorrow!
Thanks!!!
I’m looking for great t-shirt ideas to make up. Front and back. Ideas appreciated.
This will $ell
Haha ! The only thing missing is an icypole stick.
(Lasts longer)
Well, these would be the people wearing masks so maybe we won’t notice.
i saw a tshirt with one word on the front and i want one – VARIANT
Unvaxxed sperm is the new Bitcoin
FRONT: Unvaccinated
BACK: Smarter Than You
Front: Zero
Back: Fu*ks Given
I’m an older female and I recently bought a simple pink “Let’s Go Brandon” shirt on Etsy. It has a smaller FJB in the design’s lower part. I figure if shirts become commonplace the mask people will notice how many of us there are. If I may say, keep contrasting colors in mind if you want the logo to show or not. I think my blue t-shirt with red writing saying “Communism Sucks” is not quite bold enough to get the point across!
Front: Pureblood
Back: FJB LGB
It’s easier to survive Covid then it is to survive the communists.
Do you have an on-line store?
I use Rush Order Tees. Not endorsing, I just chose one to go with.
After my omicron winter of death one, My next one will be something about me being “non-gmo”
Let’s make 2022 the year of truth..
My chuckle for the day.
I don’t think they know what that is!
Trump has already with “Truth Social”.
Jan Psaki has not spoken a single true word since Biden was installed.
Peesaki has not spoken a true word since she was hatched. A pure bred communist she is.
Smirking and sneering is hard work. She’s too focused on that to think about truth. That is if she even knows what that is, which I doubt she does.
Psaki looks like a clone of Zuckerberg who is himself an organic robotoid

Too bad we can’t vote the so-called media out of a job.
CNN ratings prove they are funded propagandists. Their viewer ad rates are worse than cartoon network!
You can’t even vote politicians out of a job!!! 🤣😂
Vote with your eyeballs & ears. Stop watching & listening to deceivers.
Good advice!
Give up Cable. That defunds CNN and whatever crap is on there. Not watching is not good enough.
I did. I cut the cord in 2005. Have not viewed one sec6of them spew5lies and hatred. Read only! No patience for videos either. Happy New years.
MUY FELIZ AÑO NUEVO A TODOS! 2022.
To ” seize the means of production ” is a major communist / globalist plank in their agendas.
It seems to me that creating , then exploiting shortages , is a real possibility towards that end.
See Executive Order 11490 for perfect example.
Yep, that’s the objective, gotta remember though now they are going after baseline farming food production.
The average cost of running a farm has increased by 30% in eight months in Australia.
Good.morning and a Happy New Year to you, M. LBT😊
Farmland is included in the means of production.
The subhuman Gates and his cronies of like mind are buying farmland from farmers whose ability to grow our nation’s food has been intentionally stymied by the Communist government we now live under and then are made bankrupt.
Food shortages are being engineered and there is no question about that. Think Holodomor. Communists have a playbook. And this is on page one in each edition.
Food shortage is further exasperated by Libtards, both democrats and Rino republicans, who want to eliminate chemical weed control, pesticides and fertilizers. There would be a World famine which would put Sally Struthers flies around their eyes sitting on desert sand Ethiopians to shame.
While I earnestly pray not, I am expecting it. Prepping is essential. So start stocking your bug inventory, which these amoral and evil people are planning for us all to eat.
Oh, and I saw an article with the actual headline that if we don’t want to eat them, that’s racist, brought to you by the WEF from which that headline emanated.
That’s what the communists are doing in destroyed SA and did already in Rhodesia, attacking the famers and their families in racist terror attacks, and destroying the farms destroying production. Rhodesia was before the west & its communist terrorist puppets destroyed it, the bread basket of Africa which was feeding blacks and whites. It’s also to push Africans to Europe to assist their Camp of the Saints armedgeddon scenario
Attacking and grotesquely murdering, Colkitto, as you know. We used to read about the horrific brutality when we were in the UK. Both countries got exactly what they said they wanted.
The UK, much to its eternal shame, wouldn’t grant visas for those farmers who were the prey of the newly ensconced governments. Just like those from Hong Kong to whom they promised the same but never followed through. Britain’s honour is dirty, besmirched, no more.That they are keenly welcoming invaders now is instructive.
Chemical weed control, pesticides and fertilizers are the reason the world can be fed. I will say it again, we can no more feed the population of the world with organic farming than we can provide the energy needs with solar and wind. There is simply not enough suitable land.
I looked into conversion of my 60 acres (currently GMO corn) to organic hay. There is a demand for it locally from people producing organic beef and dairy. I could plant the entire 60 acres in organically grown alfalfa or lespedeza. I had to grow organically for three years but could not certify as organic until the 4th. By then I would probably be bankrupt. The equipment is the same cost, about $100,000 for OK used stuff. After three years I could produce organic hay and get double the price of conventional hay but could only expect 1/2 the yield. The risk of total loss from infestation is higher and weed control is nearly impossible without non-organic chemicals. I decided that GMO corn was just fine.
One more thing. Almost sterile chemical fertilizers are bad. Manure is good for organics but it is disease filled and nasty. Go figure.
Most urban people do not have one clue what they are talking about when it comes to farming and what is necessary chemical or otherwise. This is a conservatives website can you imagine what a Libtard website would sound like?
The misinformation made by posters staggers a mule. People who post on these websites would be most apt to buy steers to stock their dairy and buy geldings to raise horses for their horse ranch.
Ever heard of Biochar?
You would be shocked the number of acres of “suitable” land if water projects were allowed to be developed by the tree hugging environmental wacko Libtards.
I mean we are talking about millions and millions of acres just sitting there waiting for water projects to be developed. Don’t fall for the libtard lies when it comes to, “We are out of ‘suitable’ land”.
I have known a lot of farmers who tried organic farming and everyone of them went broke. To have a chance you need to diversify with part of your farm organic an part inorganic, but even then it doesn’t make economic sense in the long run.
Dairymen who try organic have two dairies and rotate the sick organic cows with the inorganic cows where they can be treated.
The organic thingy is just a marketing tool to be used on the naïve Libtards and that suits me fine. In fact I have done it myself with self-satisfaction. My way of sticking it to a dumb and stupid Libtard.
If this is coming from the illegitimate administration or the lame stream media, it is without a doubt, a LIE!
What else is Mr. Winter of Death lying about?
The Winter of Death, for one thing.

Calling the things he calls vaccines vaccines.
Claiming the things he calls vaccines are highly safe and effective.
Vax is FDA approved lol, how did you guys forget that?
Pretty much everything that comes out of the Biden clown show is a lie.
The issue is he has a willing audience of dumb and stupid sheep standing at the foot of his slaughter house chute.
It’s even odder that the approved vax isn’t even in circulation in the market.
Find me a vial, I know people that will pay big money for it!!
If the “vaccine” is FDA approved, the fact that they still refuse to produce the FDA approved vaccine, and point out its the same as the EAU version, is very, very curious.
Except to the media.
What is this thing you call vax !
My interplanetary dictionary has no meaning!
Please explain !
😁
Quick question? What is it like smoking weed out of a billabong?
conimity is approved by the FDA…..GOOD luck finding that available anywhere
Don’t want to look…not interested in finding it.
True bert, it is NOT FDA approved when even the Pfizer site says it’s only authorized
for emergency use… millions are believing this lie.
Praying for all those who believe the lies, Father God…open their eyes, thanking you in advance..
Amen and Praise the Lord.
Kids in school are trapped by Libtard communist who run schools “forcing” the dangerous “Jab” by one form or another.
Their big trick PR was using the word “vaccine” which has a great reputation to most people. The Muslim/Albanians used their human Drug trafficking money to purchase a PR firm, than buy certain members of congress who were on the foreign relations & Armed Services committees. Than they purchased advertising, and their psy-op was launched. it didn’t hurt either that Clinton Admin criminals were going to make money repairing infrastructure that the US/NATO illegally bombed.
Yes.
The flu injection is marketed to the public as a “shot.” Yet despite the fact that the covid injections were supposed to do about the same thing as the flu “shot”, they were branded as “vaccines.”
When that proved to be “problematic,” the CDC rewrote the definition of “vaccine.”
The communists stretch all of their lies as far as they need to convince THEMSELVES it is the truth.
A LIE IS A LIE, IS A LIE, IS A LIE; NEVER GRAY — ALWAYS BLACK!
Easy to tell those who believe the lies. They are the ones wearing masks, stand in line for a booster and have that “dumb and stupid” look about them.
Masked Covidians
Spot on! They are half dead but just do not know it
As I remember under Obama, he enacted an EO that made it legal to push “propoganda.” Now they use the non-truth every day. Most of America doesn’t pay attention. Their source of info is the MSM.
Correct Thinker
Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012
From the first paragraph:
Amends the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 to authorize the Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to provide for the preparation and dissemination of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, including about its people, its history, and the federal government’s policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers and instructors. (Under current law such authority is restricted to information disseminated abroad, with a limited domestic exception.)
Thus PDJT’s excellent “Fake News” retort
May swim in the lake of fire!
Ah, but your selling them short, sometimes they say things that are true!
Bragging about having the largest voter fraud operation, and you know, the THING he “agreed to” the other day,…
Sounds about right for the current regime!
Before the change, the definition for “vaccination” read, “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” Now, the word “immunity” has been switched to “protection.”
In changing the definition to suit their purposes, they have inadvertently made it possible to redefine supplements. So the various supplements which we’ve all started taking to protect us from their bioweapon can now be described as “vaccines”.
Too clever by half, I’d say.
Steven Crowder always makes it a point to define the terms in an argument before debating their clueless LoFo soldiers…..that is a common tactic of Dimm/commies to change the meaning of words so what they are saying verbally does not match a normal person’s understanding of the argument
True…they’ve really been caught in a trap of their own making.
“Newspeak”
And an end of Democracy
The truth is evident.
Everything the White House says is to hide that.
When caught, well everyone knows Biden is an idiot.
Soon enough their followers will experience the shortages planned and then they will be even more pissed than we are. They will feel betrayed for their allegiance and hopefully want to join us in voting out every one of them – if we are allowed to actually have an election.
No, they will blame “Trump”, those darn “insurrectionists, white supremacists Trumpers”, for ALL their problems,…
But, the # of his “supporters” buying his crap IS getting smaller, every day.
BOTH the 1/6/2021 communist insurrection BIG lie, and the 2021 pandemic “jabs” BIG lie are I.Q. tests.
The insurrection mob was run from their HDQ in the U.S. congress.
I wish, but there are none so blind as those who will not see! They refuse to listen to actual facts, and only listen to the party line of lies.
Yes, only personal pain will wake the gullible, dumb and stupid masses. I used to think they were the innocents, but ever get in a conversation with one of those brain washed Libtard “educated” idiots?
What can I say? This is kabuki theater—costumed actors representing symbolic images that are supposed to represent “a” specific reality. Only, they don’t. They instead are intended to disguise what is really happening. We’re encouraged to look at the stylized movements and not look at the actual actions such movemets are supposed to represent. This is, of course, stylized propaganda. Look past it . . . and you’ll find the truth.
Of course we’re being lied to by our own bureaucracy. They are admittedly lying to us about actual covid cases versus “maybe” covid cases. Now that we know that they think it’s ok to bend the truth . . . Who do we trust, now?
Believe our lying eyes, ears, and critical reasoning. DOES IT MAKE SENSE.?
Filter the narrative, the propaganda.
Real Eyes. Realize. Real lies
Lied about winning an election…why truth about ships awaiting a berth. I’m waiting for THEY to tell me the sky is falling.
Would love to see that redheaded liar Psnazi blindsided by these numbers during her daily commie vomit briefing.
Kamala is the one that went to the ports. Confront her. She does not handle failure well at all. Especially when she is the one in charge of the failure.
If they do ask Paski, they need to state that it was Kamala that went to the ports.
Kamala hates getting tagged and does not handle it well.
“Psychologist Tom Stafford wrote a piece for the BBC in which he talked about the “illusion of truth,” one method by which propagandists can get people to believe in lies. Stafford explains a “typical experiment” that tests this theory. It involves telling participants true and untrue things in one session and repeating it an hour or weeks later. Participants are more likely to believe what they’ve been told the second time.
Why is that? Repetition is but a shortcut people use in order to quickly process information and evaluate it. However, if someone has absolute knowledge that something is a fact of fiction, repetition will not necessarily work to make that person believe the falsehood.
There are other parts to it, too. In what we might call “gaslighting,” the person reinforcing the lies has to do it forcefully.”

In a world of lies, the truth is a radical idea.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels
The “Stanford prison experiment” is also a good one to look into, an easy explanation of how to program wimps to be brownshirts, a true experiment yes, the ramifications though are easy to see.
Watching the NYPD become the Sturmabteilung as your police are, Mungrel…stopping and “requesting” papers, per the now dearly departed Deblasio’s dictatorial edicts.. has killed the idea that our police are honourable servants of the public, and not whoever pays them, and is proof positive of where we are. Same with the military.
For those who believe(d) when push came to shove, they would stand with honour against the tyranny which has now washed over our shores, looking at last week’s shameful police capitulation to despotic powers should disabuse us all of their true allegiances.
Mungrel: very enlightening … thank you for suggesting.

As I have posted before, the Biden Administration has a single objective:
Declare victory, take no questions and run away from the media.
We won in Afghanistan. We beat Covid. We beat inflation. We cleared the container backlog. We handled the shortage of oil and gas. We have a perfect record of accomplishment. No questions as we are on a tight schedule. We are off to Wilmington, Delaware.
The latest “Hide the Ships” plan of the Biden administration.
Problem: Not enough airline employees due to vax policy, resulting in canceled flights.
Solution: Require proof of vax to fly, lowering passenger demand to alleviate cancelled flights.
When playing musical cheeses, there will always be a chair for your cheese by eliminating the number of cheeses to match the chairs.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week.”
A friend has a 3rd generation well established manufacturing business, with a backlog of orders but cannot get the raw materials. They are doing what they can with what’s available but could be going much better.
He said not getting materials is frustrating but, the cost at the port per container went from $3,000 to $18,000.
That really hurts, no way to absorb the whole hit.
Everything ButtEdgeEdge touches turns to garbage.
Might be a pattern?
Garbage is highly contagious.
The surprise would be if the data showed an IMPROVEMENT, after Harris and Buttgieg got involved.
WHY those two at the “announcement”; cause she represents “women” AND “poc” and HE(?) represents gays, so BOTH insulate the whole operation from ANY criticism
After all, thats why Obummer was BLACK; he was just a figurehead, but because he was Black , “his” administration was insulated because ANY criticism was “Rasciiist”.
And this from the people who say their approach is “data driven”, sheesh.
You makecan ASSUMPTION , Sundance, that they are LIEING, but there IS another possibility; that NO ONECon this “task force” ever LOOKED at ANY data.
They told the ships to move further out, and figured “problem solved”, patted each othervon the back, er fistbumped, and went out for cosmopolitans.
Then,,they “crafted the remarks” for Biden, Harris and Buttgieg.
Remember, these are the same idiots who came up with,..
“I GOT it,…we’ll say it was because of an internet VIDEO!”
There whole WORLD is focused not on what IS, but on what they can SPIN it as being.
No, they really don’t know, that WE know, that they know that we know they are lieing.
They actually BELIEVE that if they have Joe tell us the moon is made of green cheese, that we will BELIEVE them.
And so, again their whole world is not about reality, its about maintaining (they think) the illusion (to us) when actually, maintaining the illusion to themselves, that they are succeeding in getting us to swallow their b.s. all there is, for them.
hahaha clueless Brandon

I don’t know what is in those cargo ships….and blah, blah, blah because…
I was at the grocery store today and…
the fresh vegetable produce section was practically bare. What was there was old and mushy except for broccoli . For some reason they had bins and bins of fresh broccoli and nothing else.
I think I got the last three fresh tomatoes too.
The fruit was rotten at Sprouts. Even the Oranges were void of flavor. Its like we are living next to Mordor. Shelves at the pet store were noticeably empty. I bet the fake news junkies working there were told to blame Trump for it.
I can’t find a green or half green banana in my store for months now. Only fully ripened ones.
Same, went to grocery store yesterday, was in a hurry but noticed previously full shelves were sparse and some empty. All Campbell soups were gone, even the store brand, no pasta whatsoever except the $3.50 to $7.99 bags, minimal pasta sauce, none of our brand of dog food, Fritos gone and filled in with other brands (Frito distributer told me a month ago, it was because lack of corn used for manufacturing), no raspberries or black berries (too many stuck in the Baja or warehouse rotting) per the produce employee. No topo chico. These were groceries on my list. No idea regarding other empty areas of shelves. On the bright side, end caps full of blackeye peas, are we going to need them next year!!
Help me out here. I help with out grocery shopping here in tornado ravaged south central Kentucky. We are not seeing these things. Prices remain only slightly higher, except for beef and even then I was able to buy corned beef brisket for $3.50/ pound on sale. Shelves are stocked. Produce is good quality. It is like we live in different countries. I shop three different local smaller grocers and two huge supermarkets about 40 miles away for specialty items. I have run into almost none of this except a rare low stock that was corrected in a few days.
Is this a north-south or an urban-rural or a blue state- red state thing?
Transitory Port management. What is permanent is that they lie about everything so why bother listening to them.
Here’s the sad part… Because the logistical issues run so deep and so many different people control whats wrong on so many different levels… I’m not so sure we can recover from this.
Like inflation and the economy… Some of these things have been brewing for decades.
“Despite what the White House Supply Chain Disruption Taskforce is claiming, the actual records from the ports do not concur. Someone is clearly lying, and/or not expecting anyone to check.”
——
Beijing Biden was installed fair & square to be the nation’s Chief
ExecutiveDisruption Officer.Remember the corporate media would constantly remind its viewers how many times Trump lied. So far not a murmur about JoeBama telling a lie. Propagandists supporting an illegitimate regime.
PDJT is an embellisher but many of his statements have proven TRUE over time…..still waiting for the retractions from MSM however
The media was the biggest factor in installing XIden. They covered up his criminal dealings with Hunter and his lies about his many accomplishments to get him elected, so I wouldn’t expect them to expose his lies now.
Only conspiracy theorists check the actual data points at least until they have a chance to cancel and censor you.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING this cabal does is a brazen lie, cover up or misdirection, boldly done because they CAN.
There is no press to challenge them; only the occasional tough question from the same reporter who is then summarily ostracized by the red headed weasel and isolated by all the propagandists in the same room. The business press treads lightly as well. Very little hard hitting articles that hold this socialist slop bucket accountable for their actions. MarketWatch is very pro puppet and the trillions propping up the stock market.
At some point in time a mass of people in this nation became so greedy they willingly surrendered their souls for their personal sugar rush. All that matters is getting theirs…and that we follow the leftist dogma they’ve been fed by the schools and universities….nation be damned.
The numbers say fewer ships are being dealt with, coming and going. Starting with their ‘solution’
Are backlogs of ships increasing? Even if it is further away? Is it no longer our problem if the ships are waiting approval to sail in someone else’s port instead of waiting for an opening to be unloaded at our port here?
Do they really think they can solve a supply chain issue by choking off supplies even further?
Is their skullduggery even reducing the pile of full containers waiting in those ports?
Is this ‘solution’ still messing up the world’s shipping by keeping ships tied up with shipping our goods? Or are they gainfully using those ships elsewhere, and just shipping less to America.
How typical for JoeBama to come up with ‘solutions’ that make America decline. Some how they manage to do that every chance they get.
The new rules are they get in line when they leave their last port. So, they can leave port and anchor in Asia rather than LA or steam at a snail’s pace. Hiding the ships does not offload more containers.
This is how unions reveal themselves as Communist co conspirators. The Feds are lobbing in a slow pitch excuse to go full double time, and yet they sit on their hands with lips silent.
Apparently, Math is not only racist, it is also ageist, misogynist and homophobic.
When those whose careers were based upon “plausible deniability” making false statements is the approach most often used.
Zero accountability as we have a true “empty suit” as our leader.
Democrats couldn’t get elected to a single office in the land if all voters were informed. They lie because it works.
There is another ominous message in that data. Look at the ratio between loaded TEUs for export vs loaded TEUs for import. It’s about 4:1 against us.
it has been that way forever….before PRC found that waste products were profitable for recycling with a low-cost labor force they were filled with them for the return journey….in the last year PRC has found that the toxic remnants and increased medical cost of the workers were causing a drain on their economy so they stopped importing recyclables
At least this logjam hasn’t slowed down fentanyl shipments./S
The payoffs are getting through, too.
Ahead of time and under-budget!
Why am I not surprised….
PedoJoe46 claims he did something good for Americans….
Next thing you know we find out PedoJoe46 has lied and gotten caught again….
PedoJoe46 is a serial bad liar….he’s easily caught.
Nothing but massive Pinnochio’s
The lies flow out of these folks more than breathing.
Good article, but it needs to go farther.
1) The drop in “long dwelling” containers is largely illusory. Why? Many containers that stayed beyond 8 days at official storage sites were shuttled short distances to new storage sites set up in Nov.. The new sites do NOT report to the LA nor LB port authorities.
2) Ship wait times more than doubled between mid-Oct. & early December, from about 11 days towards 24 days. This a simple average for the 2 ports.
3) The number of ships waiting to berth increased from 55-60 in mid Oct. to 100+ in early Dec..
4) The ports’ new ship scheduling system will slash the # of waiting ships by sleight of hand. In very simple terms, LA & LB recently began telling ships their berth dates around the time they are in a port (loading or unloading cargo) elsewhere in the world. Ships can then decide to loiter / anchor outside the 150 mile zone in which LA & LB count waiting ships.
Navies blew smoke to hide from enemy ships. The Biden Admin & California bureaucrats now use data collection procedures to do so;-{
What actually happened was they threatened the terminals with fines for dwell times. After so many days the fine was $100 for the first day increasing $100 per day. So, on the 5th day a container sat, the fine would be $500 for that container.
The problem with doing this is the cost of the fine eventually works its way into shipping cost increasing what you pay on the shelf.
At the moment it looks like the fine is only going to be on empty containers starting January 30th in the Port of Los Angeles.
True. There are ships that may linger just outside their ORIGIN port, then time the 8-9-day sail to arrive at their assigned berth time. They can wait literally anywhere in the world.
In San Francisco, Daly City and San Bruno (cities south of San Francisco), the Frozen food sections are barely half filled. Same with Fruit Juices. This has been the norm now for quite some time due to the incompetence of a certain Resident in the White House. I have NOT SEEN ANY IMPROVEMENT!
To put this in perspective, the look is similar to the height of the fear at the beginning of the Pandemic, where fear cause massive hording.

Liberals always project. Because they choose not to know things, they actually believe that all of us will choose not to know things. Therefore, facts no longer matter. Sadly, many Americans will go right along with their plans.
Stop losses go into effect on everything tomorrow. Time to ride out the storm. Told old man the chances of us making 20% by ends of March are not as good as us losing 50%+. We both lost our asses on DWAC but I don’t care. It’s time to roll.
Unless I may have missed it, what is not stated in this article is whether or not there is still a (validated) backlog of container ships loitering off-shore waiting to be unloaded.
There was talk that some ships were considering re- routing to other US ports.
Well, maybe it’s because we’re not buying as much Chai-knees junk as we have been. Isn’t that a good thing?
This admin is lying? Why i never would have believed that. What was funny sad was the demonrats threw the lying claim at DJT all the time without any proof. In this case the proof is clearly visible that this admin is incompetent and finally people are beginning to see it. My staunchest demonrat acquaintances start whistling and looking down at their shoes around me because they are afraid I ‘ll bring up the disaster America is facing because of the clown show
You have D-rat friends?
F them!
Shove their noses deep into their pile of steaming crap and hit them with a rolled up newspaper for being ‘bad’ (preferably the NYT’s)!
Most of the people I know are brain dead democrats
They are one of 2 kinds
Very well off and not much effects them
To not having a pot to piss in.
The not having a pot to piss in crowd
Acts like they knew it all along
The well off crowd changes the subject
And won’t say much but they are mad because
They know they have been lied to
Either side STILL supports the crooks
I think the well off are starting to get scared a bit.
But I dont hear them leaving the plantation yet.
A few will flip because of the mandates
But still Most are a lost cause
““The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach—which handle 40 percent of the country’s containerized imports—continue to show improvement ….”
“On the day we said that, it was absolutely true. Prove me wrong.” – – Jen Psaki
“Look, there is no federal solution. This gets solved at a state level.”
“by moving towards 24/7 operations”
Since that’s NOT the primary problem, that obviously won’t fix it.
Wrt these bogus reports of alleged improvements this administration and its leader routinely lie and lie about lying.
They are entitled to no grace whatsoever on the publication of these stats.
There was significant improvement in the early months of 2021.
The year-to-date number was specifically chosen to hide the clear failure of the Oct/Nov/Dec supposed 24/7 claim.
These people are despicable.
Repeat a lie long enough and eventually it becomes accepted as fact. Another case in point, the wuflu and the jab, “we’re only trying to keep you’ll safe”.
Will be waiting to hear them explain that October has more days (31) than November (30) and that is the reason for the drop. Well, computing a daily average (yes, FJB and FKH both said working 24/7 no holidays or weekends) the total input daily average for October is 15,120 while November is 13,510 which is a 10.6% (N=1,610) reduction. For TEUs, the October number is 29,118 and November is 27,049 or a reduction of 2,069 (7.1%). The same holds true for the POLB which saw a 3.7% reduction (16,361 to 15,740). The dishonesty in this group is astounding but unsurprising.
Happy New Year.
Gee wait till aircraft,drones and satellites are invented. Those 3 Communist Demons wont be able to hide cargo ships over the horizon and the jig will be up.
Brandon does just like ozero. He lies until the media moves on and you see what the truth is after it is too late to do anything about it.
Let’s get to the facts, the REAL reason that there is a problem with the Ports of LA/LB is that that damn climate change/global warming issue at hand. Commi Gov Newsom and the libtards of California have put THEIR policies in place that restrict trucks hauling cargo from the ports that are older than three years. And no “owner operator” trucks are allowed in the ports. They also have a plan in the works to eliminate ALL fossil fuel trucks by 2030 and have all electric vehicles operating in the ports. Biden and the libtards are hiding the real reason there is a slowdown in the ports. I wonder why there are no issues with the ports on the east coast or gulf coast.
Who controls California and the west coast? You guessed it Joe Biden and his libtard cronies along with Nancy Pelosi and Gov Newsom. They have changed the west coast to the left coast and don’t forget to include Oregon and Washington into this mess thanks to Washington Gov Jay Inslee, Oregon Gov Kate Brown and the idiot puppet master Tom Steyer . Remember the old saying” as California goes” so does the rest of the Country.
Oh yeah did I forget something? Yes Commie Diane Feinstein is a part of the destruction of California too. Take that to the bank you liberal commie bastards! NUFF SAID
How did the commies in Washington impose a 7% capital gains tax on real estate without a vote of the people?
This is what I did 15 years ago with my 3 kids. I had a bumper sticker on our Suburban that read “Kill your TV”. We skied, hiked, surfed, traveled raised chickens, 4 wheelers, we never let moss grow. I saw the cable bill, it was 100$ summer vacation was starting. I made the offer to pay each 33$ a month to turn off cable which meant no TV. There was no reception where we lived. Catch… needed a unanimous vote to implement. Unanimous vote tendered kids were paid beginning of each month. Fall cable was turned back on. Fast forward 3 years of on off program. Fall of third year I did not turn on cable TV. Not till Christmas was it noticed by my daughters boyfriend that we had no TV. Such a howling of I owed money, the deal was… it’s not fair, blah blah blah. My response. To keep the deal you must be vigilant of the deal you made. If you want cable you three must pay for the cable in your name. That stopped the process cold, no credit report, you will need a 400$ security deposit to the cable company. We have not had TV for going on 18 years . One daughter with two kids, no TV, other daughter with 3 kids 1 1/2 hour a day. Son has TV but not to watch propaganda on TV….many have cut the cord, I applaud you.
I grew up on a sailboat. We had no TV. Our library came to us from other sailors rowing over with bins of book to trade. TV has never been an important thing in my life. When you don’t have a TV, people actually feel sorry for you and will give you a TV!
What a jolly good life!! In Wales, there are canals and more canals. And plenty of utterly wonderful house boats where people live their best “tiny house” lives. I’ve always envied them. Travel, dock, winter in, walk in the small towns to get the provisions one needs…no telly, as it’s called there. I’m sure there were inconveniences, but many of the canals ran by various old world pubs, where one could dock literally outside their front doors and go in for a quiet pint and a bar meal. What’s not to love?
My stepdad was half Cherokee Indian and had an alcohol problem. The plan to defeat alcoholism was to go where there was no alcohol. One day it was announced that we were going to sail around the world. We never made it around the world, but it was the experience of a lifetime.
The adventure came to an end when we spent 5 days in a hurricane between NZ and Tahiti. That was it for my mom and I cannot blame her having to worry about her 2 boys on deck doing men’s work. I never figured out it was my dad’s AA program until way later in life.
It’s often not until we age ourselves that we begin to understand our parents, and perhaps begin to forgive a lot as well.
Similar to your dad, my father never ever discussed his time in Korea as an in front of the front lines Army surgeon putting badly injured men back together…succeeding with many but not all. He was an unemotional man and not outwardly affectionate. It was only decades later I understood as best as I could by studying the history of that war and the terrible casualties. It all made sense. I’m glad you expanded on your sailboat reminiscences. God obviously had plans for your life, bertdilbert. Happy New Year.
My dad was a total unemotional stone as well. Never showed affection. Rarely smiled. Did a few years of military school before the war. That helped him rank wise when the war started. I don’t know if it was being sent off to military school that turned him stone cold or what it was.
When you watch the Trump inaugural parade, you will notice Trump winces with pain as the NY Military Acadamy passes by. Trump still lives with being sent to military school.
I’m sure their regimens was pretty, well, regimented. As in the “we’re going to toughen you up and make men out of you” type. Not all who went to such academies would have been suited for that. And I’m sure some establishments were harsher than others.
I had not noticed that about Mr Trump’s inaugural parade. What sharp eyes you have.
A tv anchor asked some Amish if they were afraid of covid. They said, no. We have no tv, lol.
I stopped watching TV when I was 19 in 1970. This year I will turn 71 and it’s my 52nd anniversary of no TV. Never missed it for a moment EXCEPT in 2015 when I had to go to debate parties to watch Trump!
Happy to read your comment. In 1973 when our tv malfunctioned,I tossed it and never replaced it. The children were “deprived”. However, books, games, instruments, going outside, replaced passive watching. For me it is only 48 years. Oh well.
Wish I caught on sooner
My TV has been off for 3 years
And people I know look at me as a source of information lol
I have explained alot of things to people
Who are confused and have no clue of what is happening
They know something is wrong
When i was first married, living in a tiny townhouse, we lived next door to a man in his seventies.
We had screen doors so in spring, summer and fall he would sit on his step and we could see the tv on through the screen door.
He was the nicest, most Christ-like man I have met in my life. He would give all his change in his pockets to the kids playing outside and he would always greet my husband and me with the most heartfelt and warm words. He had lost his wife years earlier, he loved his tv shows. And he had found peace that passeth all understanding .
Stop railing against tv.
haha
I understand that, Flova. For many hearing other voices, even if they are not actually listening to what is being said, is the difference between being alone and being lonely. A lifesaver for some. Your remembrances break my heart. What a good man who no doubt mourned his wife every single day. How fortunate he had you near, and I think I can add as you were fortunate knowing him
The Cold Anger is boiling and wonder when it boils over…….?
The problem is that every time the “lid” starts to rattle, someone pours in a cup of cold water.
“OH, look, Squirrel.
Simmer…
Slow boil…
Full boil…
Rattle, Rattle…
“Squirrel”
Simmer…
Etc
Worse, the people pouring cold water are often the GOP establishment (aka, the Washington Generals).
It will burn, that’s what. And it will happen suddenly with no warning. Who knows when that point will be reached, but I think it’s getting closer.
The first quarter of 2022 you will start seeing the boil over.
