Keep all of the Biden administration visits to the Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach and Port of Oakland in mind (aka the hide the ships program) as you review this pending issue with port labor unions. The labor union contracts expired at 5:00pm today. Massive wage increases, the result of inflation, are demanded by the unions and White House is likely to get involved (if they are not already).
In a very weird economic scenario, the Biden administration actually benefits from a port stoppage as imports are a deduction to GDP and the U.S. economy is presumably on the “zero” growth bubble. If the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) calculates a negative GDP in the second quarter (not likely for political reasons), the Biden administration would officially be responsible for a recession. [Any delay in import quantification helps shape the economic statistics; however, Q2 ended yesterday.]
Additionally, port infrastructure specialist, John D. Porcari, is part of the Biden administration economic team. Porcari shaped the response to the import and supply chain crisis in 2021 that formed the hilarious ‘hide the ships’ strategy. Porcari works to prop-up the insufferable Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg who has no idea what he’s doing.
CALIFORNIA – LOS ANGELES, July 1 (Reuters) – The contract covering more than 22,000 workers at 29 U.S. West Coast ports expires late on Friday, dialing up worries that labor disruption could roil the nation’s battered supply chains, stoke inflation and threaten a weakening economy.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) employer group, which declined comment for this report, said in a rare joint statement on June 14 that they were not planning any work stoppages or lockouts that would worsen supply chain logjams.
That matters because when the contract expires at 5 p.m. PDT(0000 GMT Saturday), so does its “no strike” clause, said Peter Tirschwell, vice president of maritime, trade & supply chain at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
History suggests a last-minute extension is not likely. The union in November rejected a one-year contract extension, saying its members had already granted a three-year extension to the current contract.
[…] Meanwhile, wary shippers are not taking any chances. They are routing cargo away from the West Coast to avoid potential labor-related slowdowns, particularly at the nation’s busiest seaport complex at Los Angeles/Long Beach that handle nearly $500 billion in cargo annually. That is driving up their costs and contributing to backups at ports in New York/New Jersey, Savannah and Houston.
The last West Coast port labor contract negotiation broke down in 2015 after nine months of talks. Dockworkers stopped work for eight days, a move that gummed up U.S. supply chains and siphoned an estimated $8 billion from the Southern California economy.
U.S. President Joe Biden met with the ILWU and the PMA in Los Angeles on June 10.
Any disruptions at Pacific Coast ports that handle almost 40% of imports to the United States could send transportation costs even higher, exacerbating pressure on a softening economy that is sinking Biden’s approval ratings.
“We’ve never had a White House that is all over these negotiations the way they are now,” Tirschwell said. (read more)
Hmmm…. Opportunity knocks?
A labor union stoppage would be bad for the economy although statistically good for Biden, and any extended work stoppage would be an excuse for empty shelves, shortages and increased ‘demand side’ inflation that might surface. Huh, funny that.
California’s 70,000 owner-operators have 7 days to cease operations. All those trucks gone!
“This is a world in which the trucking industry has never seen. The ABC test isn’t just something in the body of civil law. It is codified. I will say that over the years I’ve seen industry trade groups claim the apocalypse when new regulations are handed down. And the apocalypse doesn’t come. The B prong in the California trucking sector might test that theory.” — FreightWaves’ John Kingston
https://www.freightwaves.com/news/ab5-ruling-enters-trucking-into-the-inferno
So the CA independent owner-operator (OO) truckers will not be able to work for trucking companies as independent OOs, they will have to switch to freight hauling for companies that do not haul freight as their core business.
Sounds stupid, but the reason is probably because of the corporate practice of using 1099 “self-employed contractors” instead of W4 employees to increase profit and avoid liability, paying the 1099 contractor a rate far too low for the individual to cover their increased costs as a 1099, including workmans comp, insurance, taxes, and other added costs of being a 1099.
I encountered this some years ago, with a teenage relative working as an hourly W4 for a roofing company. The company had a bright idea to reduce their costs by changing W4 employees to 1099, pushing those extra costs on to the employees with no pay increase. After advising the employer of the IRS form available to request remedy for this, the employer reluctantly backed off and restored W4 status to employees.
CA may have a big problem with this, because of the illegal immigrants and “gig economy” exploiting naive people desperate for work at the bottom tiers of the economy.
All of these entanglements come down to sin:
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil…” (1 Tim 6:10)
Thank you for posting a properly translated 1 Tim 6:10. So many post “Money is the root of all evil” or some variation of that that either leaves out “love” or “kinds”, two words that make a huge difference.
of course there are a myriad of sins and evil that don’t include money.
You can thank fedex for that business model, I was unaware it had infected so many other labor markets.. these companies that practice the 1099 tax evasion scheme also have other tax loopholes to avoid the normal doing business cost.. it’s not really too late to start your garden and a little effort now will be helpful later
Sounds like a huge opportunity for Blackrock et al to buy out independents’ truck mortgages and make employees out of those individuals. Blackrock fits the definition of a company that does not haul freight as its core business. Selling America, piece by piece, to the likes of Blackrock is near the top of Brandon’s to-do list.
“… In a very weird economic scenario, the Biden administration actually benefits from a port stoppage as imports are a deduction to GDP and the U.S. economy is presumably on the “zero” growth bubble …”
RAT Translation:
Destruction is good.
Your BlackRock suspicion makes sense … and … Bill Gates is buying up American farm land.

Move to Texas
What for? I like FL just fine!
Me too! I love Florida and will never leave.
Same, from Cali even!
Us natives see this very differently. Blue locust are blue locust are blue locust.
Florida needs to reinstate a relocation tax.
Moved to FLA from verry blue state to get away from all the blueness. Would I have to pay?
Careful. Some of us grew up in Florida, graduated HS, went to University of California (thanks auntie) and worked there a number of years before returning to Florida in 1994. OTOH, I never went blue. But, my college roomie, for some reason, thought I had changed. Nah, my dearly departed sister was in ROTC, ROTC queen even. Boats and guns and gators and palmetto bugs and banana spiders were just part of life.
We have plenty of immigrants already, thank you.
Pick another State, please, UNLESS you can guarantee you will displace a Liberal in Austin when they move to wherever you came from.
As a native Austinite, I am hoping that the abortion crowd moves to a blue state in order to eradicate their progeny. Wouldn’t bother me a bit. I am totally against companies paying for “abortion vacations”.
Moving to Texas will not solve the stupidity of taking 70,000 truckers off the road that could be moving freight from the ports. What if that freight is being trucked to Texas? Other states?
It’s almost as if this possible “labor union stoppage” is cover for the stupidity of leftist California politicians.
Or vice versa…whichever excuse is needed at the moment for the lousy economy.
Creating a lousy economy is the whole idea. Kill the American economy by the many ways to skin this cat, and the country is transformed.
Do not worry. It takes more than a failing $ to transform American patriots. We are a tough, independent breed by birth or immigration or both. There is an army fighting in the courts, in elections, in school boards. We will win this on our knees, God willing.
This is all a part of the “Liberal World Order”.
Maybe now is the time to expand the port of Galveston. It was on track to become the major port city of Texas until the hurricane of 1900 changed everything. Texas doesn’t have those stupid laws about trucks. Let California pay extra for green shipping.
The east coast is taking a lot of the business from California.
Why.. we have nothing to offer ask any illegal alien standing on the corner
Well, if its “hilarious”, then I guess its all a comedy show and we shouldn’t care.
Can they go to Florida and Texas?
Hopefully, that’s what they’ll do.
Easy to say but if you have family (whether it’s elderly parents or children, especially from a previous relationship where you have only partial custody), a home, or other entanglements, it’s a lot harder to do.
Jacksonville
We bought on Amelia Island, FL in 2019, bought a 2nd house in Ocala FL last year..
The little town of Hilliard, north of Jacksonville.
Bypassing CA to go thru Panama to the Gulf of Mexico adds about 7 days to the route length. So figure that’s the fuel/labor/opportunity cost break-even point for going to the East Coast ports. If CA keeps making more expensive to do business, I would expect a transition.
That being said, East Coast ports would need to expand, which increases costs as well. It’s all a matter of how long this logistics crunch lasts. A short hiccup and next year it’s back to normal, well, there’s no point in investing capital on East Coast ports. If it’s going to be the next 5 years, then business behavior will change.
In a previous post Sundance talked about 90 days to 120 days on the water. How long do the ships sit off Long Beach? If East Coast adds 7 days but the goods get unloaded quickly, there might even by savings. Reducing days of inventory is a lot bigger number than the freight cost. A LOT BIGGER NUMBER
Great point!!!
unfortunately the majority of carriers hitting the west coast ports are too big for the Panama canal.
Ships have increased astronomically in size.
Since Panamax opened, I don’t think that is true any longer. It was designed to accommodate the giant container ships.
Construction of another set of larger locks led to the creation of the Neopanamax or New Panamax ship classification, based on the new locks’ dimensions of 427 m (1,401 ft) in length, 55 m (180 ft) in beam, and 18.3 m (60.0 ft) in depth.[2] Naval architects and civil engineers began taking into account these dimensions for container ships.[13] With the new locks, the Panama Canal is able to handle vessels with overall length of 366 m (1201 feet), 49 meters beam (increased by the Canal Authority effective 1 June 2018 to 51.25 meters, to accommodate ships with 20 rows of containers) and 15.2 meters draft,[2] and cargo capacity up to 14,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU);[14] previously, it could only handle vessels up to about 5,000 TEU.[15] The Neopanamax standard accommodates ships up to 120,000 DWT
Some businesses have already changed to East Coast ports and/or transit through the Panama canal. Notably, Target, Walmart and Amazon planned ahead for the West Coast hiccup. So, many goods were pre-positioned in East Coast ports for their benefit. Who told them what was going down?
Hope not we have enough problems with Californicating
They have indeed made significant inroads, but, they do not own us all yet. Pass the salt…thanks
Russia is over there beyond California so it’s their fault…….or sumpin’ like that.
Putin strikes again.
More food and product shortage because……Putin.
Actually, because…Obama.
Agree.
Spread the word on that one.
I think (hope?) that Biden has gotten such a well deserved reputation for wreaking just about everything he touches, that he will now be blamed even for things that aren’t his fault, few as those things may be.
Maybe you missed the part where the White House is ‘all over’ this and Biden just visited the labor union on June 10th. That’s pretty much a guarantee that it will be muffed up and it is partially his fault.
I’m so glad to hear that Xiden’s record of 100% failure is still unbeatable. It’s nice to know there’s something we can count on.
😆 😆 😆
Here’s a Lefty idiot who thinks this will *help* the Middle Class:
Maybe they think they can eat their contract or the paper the labor laws are printed on to keep from starving.
Idiots.
Do not discount the Unions.
The Unions are Organized and Operate like a major corporation. Their top leadership is now composed of Lawyers and Business Majors … not the knuckle draggers of years past.
Primary Operations:
International Money Laundering
Control of Labor Pools in very Strategic Industries on an International Scale
Unions, represent less than 10-15% of the American Work Force … But … those workers are in in highly strategic segments of both the Main Street and Wall Street Economies. They can bring either or both to their knees whenever they desire.
Primary Nationally Impacting Segments:
Communications
Transportation & Distribution
Government Services
“Big” Tech
Do not discount “sympathetic” actions by other Transport Hub Unions (i.e. Long Shore-men at other ports and Teamsters).
We are talking Union scum, who had no issues cooperating with the Corrupt democrat run Government of Puerto Rico to adversely impact aid efforts by President Trump’s administration, related to Hurricane Maria in 2017 by ordering labor actions by Port and Transport Unions.
So by eliminating contract (non-union) truck drivers in CA, are the unions salivating over forcing them to join and drive company rigs? Union dues go up and Dem coffers expand that way.
This would be a blessing in disguise,
Communications
Government Services
“Big” Tech
Everything in the Uncle Joe 2 regime seems to collapse like Afghanistan did and the little guy is left on the tarmac.
As in splat?
Brandon strikes again! Ms Pete has no idea what he’s doing! Unfortunately with the current regime, once again the blind are leading the blind, and shoving the blame onto any available target!
The Biden administration embraces “degrowth” environmentalism. None of this is accidental. This is all planned.
Not so fast, it’s not over yet!
That cartoon is brutal, hilarious, and honest all at the same time.
Meanwhile in the Ukraine…
Russian Troops Exit Snake Island, Allow Ukrainian Ports To Operate
https://www.oann.com/russian-troops-exit-snake-island-allow-ukrainian-ports-to-operate/
Either side told different stories about the exit Thursday with Ukraine suggesting they have forced the troops out after a massive artillery and missile assault overnight.
However, the Russian Defense Ministry said they left the strategic outpost voluntarily, adding Ukraine can no longer speculate on any impending food crisis or say it is impossible to export grain.
Looks like putin is playing the build back better/great reset/liberal world order/ WEF folks. What will puppet master klaus do?
And just last night I heard on radio news that Ukraine was asking Turkey to seize a Russian ship now off the coast of Turkey, that Ukraine says stole Ukrainian grain to export it. Bizarre!
Yep.. right.. are you sure the Ukraine exports any grain and if so to whom.. you can bet most news from that neck of the woods is fake
Genius move!
ORDER-OUT-OF-CHAOS is the New Liberal World Order motto.
When the shitbirds talk about a ” Rules Based System ” …… nobody asks – ‘ who’s rules ? ‘
( Once again , the ultimate goal is to cause people to question and REJECT capitalism and FREEDOM and demand a Global Government give them ” safety “. )
” Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. Troops entered Los Angeles ( to restore order post 1991 riots ) …Tomorrow — They Will Be Grateful .” — Henry Kissinger : Committee of 300 ‘consultant’
Even Kissinger the Kreep was recently begging for negotiations.
Methinks he knows the current trajectory is not in the WEF’s favor any more…
Right up there with purchasing carbon credits.. from who and what does this provide..? The license to pollute as you see fit..?
Just remember ….. if they can ‘break’ the systems enough , then they have an excuse to Nationalize every important sector of the economy.
( These sunglasses are amazing – They Live )
We no longer need the special sunglasses to see what’s happened to Pelousy’s face.
Only if you believe the lies they espouse of the powers of authority they do not legally have.
We have a sister company in California. They have already seen reduced deliveries due to truckers pulling out of California. For years now, some of our distributors won’t do business in California. I’ve received phone calls from businesses desperate for parts and we can’t help them. This is not going to help any of them. Which, apparently, is the point. As all of you know, look at California as the plan for the country.
Yes, BUT people only care who is in office when things suck and no leader emerges to solve the problem.
On all levels, they see Biden as one who SUCKS. It doesn’t matter whether they blame him for A, B, and C, or just A and B: everything is FUBAR and he’s in the OVAL not making anything any better.
Do you know how much longshoremen get paid? How hard it is to get into that job?
I’d shed nary a tear if that little slice of comfortable union sinecure got torn down to the foundations.
Don’t think I’ve forgotten what a longshoreman snit in the port of Tacoma did to hay farmers in WA state a few years back. If ever there was a union that deserved to be busted, it would be the longshoremen union.
I’m not seeing any local media covering Tacoma or Seattle; they may have to displace homeless camps if any more cargo containers cannot be loaded. Maybe they can convert the longshoreman jobs to electricians.
There hasn’t been any coverage on this up here, you are correct, and if shifty insley – yes, I deliberately misspelled his name – has any say on the closure of the ports, he will set up a lot of homeless camps, because he only cares about keeping people dependent on gov’t handouts, in whatever fashion that may be.
It looks like it’s time to go shopping and stock up some more, to prepare for shortages.
Lots of people will shop on Sunday, in preparation for Monday July 4. So I’m guessing the grocery stores will better stocked, and less crowded, on Saturday.
If you have a cat prepare for sticker shock.
I just picked up some at PetSmart which used to have the best price. I remember 46 cents a can not long ago, now it’s 85.
One of my cats is very picky and is rebelling about eating the many cans I stocked up on months ago, so I am supplementing with a few new ones here and there. Cat food doesn’t have expiration dates. I suspect it no longer tastes that great to her. Glad the other cat eats anything and everything.
And yes, I am well aware that the time may come where they can’t be fed at all, where we need to consider eating them instead, before they come back to eat our dead, burnt bodies. 🙄
Thankfully not quite there yet…
My cat eats what put out or doesn’t eat.. no longer putting up with his picky attitude.. he eat what I give him or catch his own..
That strategy works great with children, too.
Our two cats were strays. They’ll eat anything that doesn’t eat them first. I saw one of them last night snatching a fly out of mid air and eating it. Pest control!
We have multiple kitties and get litter at Tractor Supply. Box of litter went from $10.99 (sale $8.99) to $15.99.
Canned cat food has been scarce the last 18 months in NE NC.
The Q2 result will be slightly above zero, so they can say we technically avoided a recession. In Q3 they will revise Q2 back to a negative result, and admit we were technically 5 months into a recession today. The Q3 results will be a horror show, and the Q4 results will have us begging to get back up to Q3 levels.
Remember all the fiddling with the BLS employment figures under Obama… So bad that every month, they lied about the figures to make them look better, then would go back and revise in small type on the “back page”.
Lying and hiding.
Well then, won’t the outcry hit them like a Trump Train just in time for the election, instead of now?
That kick-the-can game isn’t as smart as they think it is.
The average person does not listen to the news to know why there’s nothing on the grocery shelf and gas is $10 a gallon. They just know they can’t feed their family and can’t afford gas to get to work. Whoever is president gets blamed. That’s fact. The rest is just noise.
I can recommend a book titled ‘The Box. How The Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and The World Economy Bigger,’ written by Marc Levinson and published by Princeton University Press in 2016 to wide acclaim.
It is the story of Malcolm McLean who invented the container.
This might seem like the most boring book you could ever buy, but it is a page-turner! Not least because of the intense anger of the longshoremen and their intense fight to stop the growing use of container ships.
Smoke and mirrors is what the JoBama administration is all about. What a farce! What a clown show.
If the American public does not see through this sham and the fake PINO (president in name only), then they are stupid and deserve what they get.
It occurs to me that their…the glo-bull-ist swine’s intention to destroy the supply lines will in time bring manufacturing back to the USA.
In their zeal to kill us off will be the very thing that restores our commonality as Americans and a roaring return to a true middle class.
I had a ringside seat to the destruction of American manufacturing. In the 80’s our little manufacturing company thrived with some pressure from Chinese manufacturers after NAFTA 1994 “that giant sucking sound” began and 9-11 was the death knell.
In the long run, this could be a good thing. “always look on the bright side of your life”
Anecdote: In the early 80’s we had a small booth at the New York Toy Show, my older brother was working the booth having an okay show when Sam Walton walked in and changed our lives. They began to carry our line in Wal-Mart and this opened up Target, K-Mart, et al. When Sam died in 1992 this all came to a screeching halt and the buy American policy was gone. To be fair Mr. Walton was already building manufacturing in China in the 80’s, but when his kids took over it was “Katy bar the door” and even the pretense of “buy American” became a punchline with the buyers with all the large chains.
“pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered” Maybe we are at the hogs part?
Always remember the Republicans were the prime drivers of all the so called “trade deals”.
These were not trade deals at all they were off shoring of capitol agreements that saw our industry literally cut up and move to China.
They sure fooled a lot of people. Rush Limbaugh was one of the main cheerleaders for NAFTA.
I used to argue with my friends about how destructive the “trade deals” would eventually. They thought I was crazy.
I would bet many who were around at that time can relate.
No question about it. But it was Clinton that signed it into law. It was all part of the uniparty NWO/CFR/WEF play act. The republican/democrat thing is part of the ruse
It is way past time for these counter productive unions to go away.
Again with the Biden lies and BS .
A strike nationwide is what’s needed .
Just to be clear the damage done to American labor over the last 50 years was caused by the Washington Parasites and their Wealthy Elitist Owners .
American industries and the working people that made up the economic tax base that built schools paid teachers , police , fire protection and all manor of government services were tossed under the buss and a mountain of debt took its place !
This had to be intentional !
To be honest about the inflationary practices of the DC Criminals one glaring fact now demand for raises in hourly pay are the end result of Washington’s Failures !
To have the same purchasing power we had in 2000 you need a $70 dollar per hour increase in 2022 added to your 2000 base rate .
Stick a fork in us we are done and the Biden woke Puppet Administration are just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic .
There are thousands of ways to make things worse and rest assured they will attempt them all !
Winston Churchill new the American policies all to well when he said “The Americans will always do the right thing after exhausting all other alternatives”!
Sorry Winston we have now crossed that point of no return !
Believe I shall enjoy a fine cigar and bourbon this Fourth of July while I still can !
I disagree with Sundance. None of the Biden cabinet secretaries are operating under their own reconnaissance. Every one of them possesses NO qualifications for the job. They take orders from whomever it is that now owns our government. The intent by the actors behind the curtain (not Buttigieg) is to create a path of destruction of the US.
It just looks like Buttigieg and the other cabinet secretaries don’t know what they are doing. Rather, it is a controlled demolition, although it looks like they don’t know what they are doing. The people in control do.
Who is on the ruling committee? My guess, Xi, Barry, Bezos, Gates and Klaus. Or it could be someone no one has heard of. All of the Biden admin reports to the committee.
I agree, at least about Buttigieg. He strikes me as a severely over educated nitwit who would have to watch a YouTube video to change a light bulb. Butt he went to Oxford I believe!
You begin to think California will be a worthless piece of land, not worth a plugged nickle.
Ports none functional Forest burned to the ground Water resources drained into the ocean Farmland that looks like the Mojave Desert Energy generation reduced to 1 watt of power per person per day living there and California’s crown jewel Hollywood dead on arrival for premier night!
California the land God cursed.
All the major ports will move to Mexico. The writing is on the wall. Ports are no longer wanted in the US:
Long Beach City Council passes Ship It Zero resolution
https://splash247.com/long-beach-city-council-passes-ship-it-zero-resolution/
Back in October, November 2021 the Governors of both Florida and Texas were inviting shipping companies to use their State’s ports.
Guess we’ll see how many shippers are taking them up on their offers.
That is driving up their costs and contributing to backups at ports in New York/New Jersey, Savannah and Houston.
What about Florida’s ports? Aren’t they open for business? Or are they just operating well and not experiencing any backups?
a reliable SCOTUS could prevent a “strike” that is important to National Security; economic security is national security.
Was it all an accident? 2015! Do a search of articles on the conservative treehouse.
The last West Coast port labor contract negotiation broke down in 2015 after nine months of talks. Dockworkers stopped work for eight days, a move that gummed up U.S. supply chains and siphoned an estimated $8 billion from the Southern California economy.
Was it all an accident?
Earlier this month, The Gateway Pundit published an article on a list of US-based food manufacturing plants that were destroyed, damaged or impacted by “accidental fires,” disease, or general causes from 2021 to 2022 under the Biden administration.

And, of critical importance for 2015
The Spike protein gave us COVID-19 in the North Carolina University (NCU) on November 24th of 2015 with Zheng-Li Shi working on the team.
The Biden admin. doesn’t care…The mid-terms and 2024 fix is in…Screw us….2020 revisited.
If elections are canceled, postponed or rigged, I’m outta here. I’ll sell my home and go to Costa Rica. If I gotta starve to death at least I’ll be warm while I do it.
And count on the media to hide all the relevant facts should that happen, and the useless Repub leaders in Congress say nary a word, and the RNC to not spend a dollar on advertising the truth either…..
Interesting how our world has collapsed in so many areas of the economy in the last 20 months. My , my my.
A family friend once told me she didn’t like Trump because he sent out mean ‘tweets’. I’m sure she voted for Biden.
What’s so sad is that this same person would never admit that their petty reasoning was wrong or even has anything to do with the current economic downturn. She’s not alone. Millions have the same petty way of thinking. Most people, Americans, are loathe to admit they were STUPID. Some don’t even know it. Actually, these same people have a daughter was was seriously injured by the Fauci ‘vaccine’. One wold think they would be livid. Not so. These dolts actually think that this is all for their own good! Something I find totally repulsive.
Until this mind set changes we will be constantly subject to criminal politicians who are supported by these American dolts. A severe economic downturn could be that catalyst. Unfortunately, many of these same dunces believe the lies and propaganda that Putin is the cause of all this turmoil. We have no one to blame but many of our fellow Americans for this entire mess. We need to call it like is is!
Women generally are the ones undermining our country, they continually want more and more, yet the country as a whole gets less and less because of their Socialist viewpoints/voting patterns.
I am sick to death of comments at the treehouse designed to pit men and women against each other. It’s childish and insulting.
If you have a gripe with approximately 50% of the people in the world, a gripe that is repeatedly spilled across the treehouse floor, get help. Please.
–Written on behalf of the many brave, conservative women who work tirelessly to correct the many wrongs perpetrated on our citizens, including our children.
See “Moms for Liberty” for one example.
Only stating the facts, that women can be manipulated a lot easier and are when it comes time to vote.
Look at the abortion issue, blm, etc. My eyes don’t do the lying… so keep being sick and tired of the facts! (I don’t like it either.)
Also, I’m not trying to divide man against woman, your comment is the one suggesting pitting one against the other. That was not the point, point is women overwhelmingly vote on “feel good feelings and lies”, which is what Democrats are always selling.
My 2019 Subaru, 25000 miles, engine just froze up!!!! It’s the 7th Subaru I’ve had..it’s now sitting at the dealer waiting for parts..my lease is up in 3 days and I was ready to buy it out for 16000..car is worth 25000..we are driving our 2006 Subaru..no one has ever heard of a Subaru engine freezing with that mileage..no warning..
Shut it down.. let the joebama supporters starve, they can eat the Canadian bugs being offered and we don’t need more made in China trash for the land fills.. Those that actually voted for this shit show need to stand proud, show their faces and support for the communist in control.. We need to be able identify these criminals and they need to be held accountable for their stupidity..
Agreed. I am absolutely convinced this E15 for everyone is to kill as many engines as possible.
