Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on the DC narrative shaping program hosted by swamp gatekeeper Chris Wallace.  Within the interview Buttigieg was questioned about why West Coast port backups are worse now than before the White House announced their solution to operate ports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Buttigieg proclaimed the ports are being impacted by the pandemic, and ships stuck in China are the reason why ships are sitting off the coast of California.   Yeah, try to square that circular logic.  LOL.  The scale of incompetence, even in common sense politispeak, is off the charts.  The illogical statements by this guy are legendary; however, he outdid himself today.

Eventually Pete weaves his way through fourteen nonsensical catch phrases to get to a point where he proclaims nothing in the supply chain will start being more efficient until everyone is vaccinated.  And yes, it appears that he is so stuck in pretzel-speak, Buttigieg actually believes that.

All of that said, I wouldn’t post this for review if it wasn’t for the ‘hard-hitting‘ segment from Wallace that comes right after.  You just gotta watch (prompted):

.

The southern border is in crisis, food inflation is skyrocketing, transportation and logistical supply chains are a mess because of emissions and regulation, store shelves are empty, gasoline is ridiculously expensive, the blue-collar working class is getting crushed, the vaccination mandate is wreaking havoc on jobs, airlines and employment for first responders, overall national anxiety is at a high point, the economy is in a free-fall and two-thirds of all Americans now say the administration is incompetent.  Along comes Chris Wallace with the hard-hitting question about what Pete and his husband are doing with their twins for Halloween.

Lets Go Brandon !

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).

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe appeared on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd {full video here} to express his frustration that “everything was fine” in Virginia until parents started snooping around, looking into what goes on in public schools.

Despite Chuck Todd trying to support McAuliffe’s collapsing campaign and overall favorability, the Democrat candidate just can’t stop showcasing his totalitarian viewpoint.  As noted in the interview, McAuliffe blames the parents for finding out what was happening inside the education system and then complaining about it.  It was only after parents started doing research when things started falling apart for the teacher’s unions, school boards and the candidacy of McAuliffe himself.

.

The full video is also below.

Beyond the horrible policies he supports, as a general disposition candidate Terry McAuliffe is not a likeable person.  He’s a male version of Hillary Clinton with about the same level of blame-casting and desperation.  You can tell in the interview that Chuck Todd knows the persona of McAuliffe is part of his problem.

Watch the very beginning as Chuck Todd introduces McAuliffe and notes that an upside down favorability for Joe Biden is likely hurting other Democrats. As a result, the race in Virginia has gone from an easy win to a toss up.

Specifically, look at the face of McAuliffe (00:16 seconds), as the introduction was not what he expected from his friend, his ally and fellow traveler.  The flex and squint in the eyes of McAuliffe tells you he was taken aback by the intro.  He was personally hurt, stunned and then worried by the introduction.  It took McAuliffe almost a full 2 seconds to recompose his brain.  It’s interesting….

The bad news is this is an NBC poll conducted by Mark Murray and Hart Research and Associates.  They are notorious for manipulative media polling [Use Site Search Function for More].  The good news is this is an NBC/Mark Murray poll, meaning if this is the best Murray and Hart Research can come up with, the reality of the situation is exponentially worse.  [Polling pdf Here]

The data within the poll, which is skewed to try and assist the left, shows the nation overall has abandoned Joe Biden and the Democrat Party in a big way.

71 percent of Americans now say they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, up 8 points since August. That includes 93 percent of Republicans, 70 of independents and even 48 percent of Democrats.  Beyond his catastrophic approval numbers, 50% of Americans polled say Joe Biden is incompetent / 37% view him as competent.

Chuck Todd sounds the alarm.  WATCH:

Additionally, not highlighted by any media review, the polling shows a collapse for the COVID fear and vaccination narrative.   The majority of the country now says they do not support mandatory vaccinations. [Page 17].   50% oppose mandates / 47% support mandates.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attend Game 4 of the World Series tonight in Atlanta, Georgia, between the Braves and Houston Astros.  President Trump was joined by Herschel Walker and other dignitaries in a private suite at the ballpark to watch the game.

Our president and first lady joined in supporting the home team doing the Tomahawk chop and the woke crowd is going bananas across all social media.  Everyone looks like they are having a great time and the political left cannot stand it.  Too funny.  The woke crowd are having spontaneous ‘splodey heads.  WATCH:

(New York Post) – Former President Donald Trump did the tomahawk chop with Braves fans at the World Series Saturday night, months after calling for a baseball boycott amid MLB’s politically-motivated move to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta.

Trump and wife Melania watched Game 4 between Atlanta and Houston from a private suite.

As the impacts of the various vaccination mandates take shape, it is worth a review of the current status as it impacts you and your family on a local basis.

As noted by a reader in Washington state, the cleaving of society on vaccinated status is having an unusual impact on many regions even within individual states.

As one anecdotal report is told, the eastern side of Washington state is essentially functioning as before the vaccination mandate; while the western side is seeing a substantial breakdown in local civic society.

Mandates by local officials are creating issues for local services.  Local police, fire and first responders are leaving their jobs, creating issues for those in the leftist side of Washington state. Meanwhile the eastern, or more conservative side of the state, is relatively not impacted.

In another cleaving anecdote one business owner in southern California has told a rebel alliance member to discontinue the use of services from a vendor who does not share the leftist political perspectives of the owner; while other right-minded business owners (in the same industry) are looking specifically to gain advantage by seeking out vendors who are skilled, stable and independent.
