Buttigieg shows same expertise as he did as Mayor of South Bend: zilch

"What? Me worry?"

With the handling of Biden coronavirus pandemic, the nation's supply chain is in crisis mode due to many economic factors, such as vaccine mandates that are putting people out of work, flights being canceled, truckers not available to truck goods to stores, and the quitting of jobs is at an all time high. 

Thankfully, we have Pete Buttigieg, our illustrious, highly qualified Transportation Secretary who loves the smell of airports in the morning, and the bouncy sound of cars hitting potholes in South Bend, Indiana where he was their not so great mayor.

South Bend is a city of about 100 thousand people, maybe 60 or so buses, no big-time railways, and less than 100 full-time transit employees. [H/T Fox News]

But for a person with senile dementia and who was never very bright even before his brain became caramelized, a guy like Pete was a perfect fit for a guy like Joe Biden. Sure, 100 employees is not the same as the government's 58,000, but who's counting? Just because that number is over half the population of the entire town of South Bend doesn't mean Pete Buttigieg isn't on the job. 

I think it is Paw Patrol who says there's no job too big or too small for those pooches to handle. While Pete's budget skyrocket from $10 million to $85 Billion, he's got it handled. And if Joe Biden likes him for the job, why not boobie?

While hundreds, literally hundreds of ships sit dormant off our coasts, unable to deliver goods to the country since they cannot quickly unload their cargo, and when they finally reach port there is a shortage of dock workers to get the ships unloaded, Buttigieg is home with his husband since August basking in the glow of father and fatherhood of their new arrivals via an actual woman.

And until now, nobody knew that he has been on paternity leave since freaking August!

If nobody knew and nobody cared, how important is his job?

But if his job is important, why the hell is he shirking it?

The answer is obvious: the media is not going to call him to task. When they finally questioned him about the supply chain debacle, he went on the Communist News Network and plugged our House Plant in Chief's infrastructure socialist plan known laughingly as Build Back Better.

Don't you worry, however, our missing Transportation Secretary said he's talking about the problem to others at a round, not a square, table and they will come up with a plan, which hopefully works better than the South Bend pothole solution that never materialized when this idiot was the mayor. 

Words don't fix potholes or move cargo any better than they fix inflation, the crime surge, and the problems in Afghanistan, China, Russia and the Middle East.

Buttigieg's police may quit the South Bend force

"What, me worry?"

Indiana -- South Bend Mayor and 2020 Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg, who frequently uses the Lord's name in vain and is married to a dude, may have raised a lot of money for his campaign, but all that's being raised in his hometown is hell, and not in a fun way.

It's over an officer-involved shooting by a white cop, Ryan O'Neill, and a black victim, Eric Logan, and it doesn't look like it's going to soon be assuaged.

Buttigieg is being loudly criticized from both protestors and his police department. The police say his handling has crushed morale and risks a “mass exodus” from the force.

“Morale around here has been terrible. We do nothing,”  a 20-year veteran of the force, told Fox News. “We call ourselves firemen, we sit around in parking lots until we’re called and then we go to the call, because if you say or do something wrong, then you get hung.” Of course, they are police officers, not firemen.

“At an all-time low,” another officer said of morale. “It’s been really demoralizing and hard to come to work lately.”

Officers requested not to be identified for this story in fear of retaliation by the mayor's administration and possibly MSNBC. But they told Fox News that they know of multiple officers who are considering handing in their badges or taking retirement if eligible, in response to the mayor’s handling of the shooting.

They say that, but will they really do it?

“That's the big discussion ... is who's staying and who's going. I think you’re going to see a mass exodus, our administration is a joke,” one cop said, referring especially to Buttigieg, who looks remarkably like famed cartoon figure for Mad Magazine, Alfred E. Neuman [see photo above].

South Bend Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) President Harvey Mills told Fox News that he has spoken to five or six officers who are “seriously” considering retiring or resigning because of the administration’s handling of the shooting. One officer told Fox News that he believes as many as 10 people will quit in the next year, and said he has also considered stepping away.

“It’s very discouraging that something I’ve always wanted to do, that God called me to do, that I’m questioning that and wondering, thinking about not being a police officer strictly because of politics and things that are going on that are completely out of my control,” he said.

Buttigieg has long had a strained relationship with the officers in South Bend, but that relationship has deteriorated considerably since the shooting of Logan.

According to investigators, O’Neill was called to a report of someone breaking into cars and encountered Logan O’Neill, who was allegedly carrying a knife. According to authorities, O'Neill shot Logan after he approached him with the knife and ignored repeated demands to drop it, the South Bend Tribune reported.

But O’Neill’s body camera was not on to confirm his account, and skeptics of the department's account have blasted city officials, fueling a firestorm that repeatedly has pulled Buttigieg off the trail to deal with the crisis back home. The reason his body cam was off may have been due to the swiftness O'Neill had to use in thwarting a knife attack, but that has not been determined as yet.

O’Neill resigned last week, with the FOP saying in a statement that “job related stress, the lawsuit, national media attention, and hateful things said on social media have been difficult for O’Neill and his young family.”

Buttigieg has falsely claimed that he hasn't taken sides, but amid angry protests back home, he has not challenged the narrative that the shooting is connected to police racism because votes are more important to him than integrity.

At an NBC News presidential primary debate this month, Buttigieg described the shooting as “a black man ...killed by a white officer” and said he “could walk through all of the steps we took, from bias training to de-escalation, but it didn’t save the life of Eric Logan. And when I look into his mother’s eyes, I have to face that fact and nothing that I say will bring him back.”

“Until we move policing out from the shadow of systemic racism, whatever this particular incident teaches us, we will be left with the bigger problem of the fact that there is a wall of mistrust, put up one racist act at a time, not just what’s happened in the past, but from what’s happening around the country in the present,” he said, [my italics].

Buttigieg has also come under fire with naughty words and anger from black residents who think he has not done enough to reform the police department and was pelted with criticism from angry South Bend residents last month.

But it was the repeated inappropriate references to the "shadow" of racism in law enforcement (saying in June that "all police work and all of American life takes place in the shadow of racism") that particularly pissed off the cops.

To progressives, white bread or owning a dog is racist if you're white.

Pete Buttigieg lacks logic on abortion issue

Democratic 2020 hopeful Pete Buttigieg [pronounced "Butter Judge"] has made the cowardly and illogical statement that if you lack a uterus, you ought not to have an opinion on abortion. In his thinking and taking it to the next logical conclusion, if a mother wants to kill a man's son on his thirteenth birthday, it isn't up to the father to go against it because he didn't give birth to the child.

And here, all along, I thought Butter Judge was an intelligent guy. All he seems to be is a cowardly Democrat, but I repeat myself.

The South Bend, Indiana mayor spoke in Greenville, South Carolina, mentioning freedom in the context of killing babies under the clinical term known as abortion.

"You’re not free if your reproductive choices are being dictated by male politicians in Washington," he stated, substituting the term 'reproductive choices' for the murdering of a human life.

The young politician's remark comes with the territory of being a progressive. His immoral position on abortion is totally in line with the other Democrats running for the 2020 nomination.

Although Butter Judge hasn’t spoken in detail about his beliefs surrounding abortion, during a mid-February appearance on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" with host Joe Scarborough, the mayor replied to a question about abortion law with a remark that mirrored his South Carolina speech:

SCARBOROUGH: Do you support the late-term abortion legislation that was passed in the New York state legislature, as well as in Virginia?

BUTTIGIEG: I don’t think we need more restrictions right now. And, you know, what I’ve learned in Indiana, being in a place where a lot of my friends, a lot of my supporters even, come from a different place than I do, being pro-choice, I just believe that when a woman is in that situation, and when we’re talking about some of those situations covered by that law – extremely difficult, painful, often medically serious situations where life or health of the mother is at stake – the involvement of a male government official like me is not helpful.

[It's referred to as 'restrictions' when leftists want to condemn something, and 'a woman's right to choose' when they want to avoid anyone else having the right to choose for a baby that cannot defend its life.]

This is a garbage argument frequently made by pro-choice politicians and activists. In short – no uterus, no opinion. Unfortunately for Buttigieg, and other idiots who continue to use this argument, "no uterus, no opinion" is logically flawed, and it opens up a massive can of worms as it pertains to other laws.

A law cannot be experiential, written only by those who have or can experience the situations which the law is made to address. In addition, there are myriad laws written by men that deal primarily with women, like laws pertaining to rape and its punishment.

The idea of experiential law undermines all law. If one has not committed murder, been close to a victim of murder, or been involved in a murder case, how can one be suited to draft a law criminalizing murder? No murder experience, no opinion. 

If you don't have the capacity to become pregnant or have an abortion, you should not be allowed to create legislation dealing with abortion [unless you're talking about Roe v. Wade which expands abortion and was decided by nine Supreme Court justices, all of whom were men].

You don't have to have cancer in order to cure it and you don't have to have a uterus to have a sense of what is moral and correct in terms of the baby growing inside. But to make matters worse, Democrats are increasingly accepting the idea that a woman can decide to terminate her pregnancy after the baby is born. Of course, that isn't terminating the pregnancy, the pregnancy is complete. That is terminating an infant, plain and simple.

To suggest that men shouldn't have a say in abortion is ridiculous and stupid, but the ridiculously stupid progressives use that argument because it sounds compassionate while it's merely immoral.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
