The Biden Gaza Strip Pier Debacle

Former President Joseph Biden was warned that building a "humanitarian pier" in the Gaza Strip would be torn apart by an angry sea and other issues. True to form, Biden saw it as a political showcase for his fake humanitarianism so he ignored the warnings. 

A recent Inspector General report confirms Biden's knowledge of what eventually became yet another clusterfrack (sic) handed down by this garbage administration, and it cost the taxpayers $230,000,000.

The IG report states:

"Discussions about establishing a pier to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza took place before President Biden’s announcement at the State of the Union on March 7. According to a senior BHA [Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance] official, interagency discussions had considered options for commercial and DoD-supported piers to establish a maritime corridor into Gaza. At the time, BHA advocated for transporting aid through land routes and did not pursue planning a maritime route because of the logistical and technical challenges it would present." 

So his expensive virtue-signaling was as effective as the Covid vaccines as it turned out.

Ironically, the Gazans weren't all that hungry for the pier and warned the administration about this before the pier was built. In spite of that, Biden wanted to move forward with the pier.

The report continues:

"Security concerns also significantly impacted the distribution of humanitarian assistance delivered through JLOTS [Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore]. Before its launch, WFP [World Food Program] highlighted in its USAID [United States Agency for International Development] award documentation that lack of community buy-in among Palestinians for the maritime corridor could result in significant safety and security risks and compromise its operations." 

The pier did as piers do in raging seas--it came apart like the lies the media told about Hunter Biden's laptop being Russian disinformation. Worse yet, the Hamassholes and other Islamic scumwafers stole what little aid came to the ramshackle disaster.

The report concluded: 

"Due to structural damage caused by rough weather and high seas, the pier operated for only 20 days and was decommissioned on July 17. Additionally, security and access challenges plagued aid distributions once on shore. As a result, USAID fell short of its goal of supplying aid to 500,000 or more Palestinians each month for 3 months and instead delivered enough aid to feed 450,000 for 1 month." 

Some members of Congress are finally demanding information as to why the building of the pier was pushed through when it was known that it would likely fail to do what it was intended for.

"Biden and Harris CHOSE to put our troops in direct danger and waste millions of YOUR taxpayer dollars on the Gaza Pier stunt," Republican Congressman Michael Waltz posted on X. "All just to try to appease the progressive Left and score a talking point for a State of the Union address."

If the good intentions of the Left were fertilizer, it would be enough to cover the entire planet. As it is, their intentions are mostly for show and tell.
