Leading from behind...

"The ports issue is crisis # 32 (give or take a few) under Joe Biden. Not bad, for less than a year in office."

Leading from behind. The barrack Obama mantra. Worked well for him, as after 8 years we were way behind in just about everything - especially in our competition with the Russians and Chinese. The funny thing about the word "lead". It can mean being out in front, leading others. Or the word spelled the same way, can mean something totally different. Like, the mineral lead. Lead, symbol Pb, with an atomic number of 82. Lead has been used for bullets, water pipes, and shielding from radiation. Or - anything which needs to be heavy and cumbersome.

Like his former boss (Obama), Biden also wants to "lead from behind". Only with Biden, it is "lead" as in the mineral. Why do I say that? After seeing his presser yesterday, everything that Biden has been doing, is a drag on this country. It is like Biden has shoes made of lead. Low and slow. For example, this thing with our sea ports is a whopper. How so?

Do you know, that most major sea ports in the world have been operating 24 X 7 for years? Why? Busy places. Lots of commerce. But wait a minute! We have lots of commerce here also, since most of what we use is imported from China. Then why in the world, have two of our major ports (Long Beach and Los Angeles), only been open for business M - F, with no third shift? If you guessed unions, you win the prize.

The Longshoreman's Union negotiates with the owners of the ports in southern California. The owners of these ports are the cities that house these ports. And the cities are run by Democrats. So Democrats negotiating with Democrats (unions). Sweetheart deals. It took a major emergency like what we are having right now, to get the unions to agree to work 24 X 7. Any premium dollars that it will take to staff that third shift during the work week, as well as weekends, will be rolled into the prices we will all pay for products. 

Sure glad we have Mayor Pete as our Secretary of Transportation. He has been all over this issue (NOT!). We also have a shortage of trailers servicing the twin ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. They get loaded up, leave, and some don't come back. Where then, are they? Unknown. But they are not where they are the most needed right now. 

The ports issue is crisis # 32 (give or take a few) under Joe Biden. Not bad, for less than a year in office. His "leading (Pb) from behind" is working well for him. If his plan was to "one up" Jimmy Carter, he did that months ago. Now he wants to also beat out Woodrow Wilson. How bad is Joe Biden? I can say this as Halloween is right around the corner. Biden is scary bad. And that is the nicest thing I can say on a family friendly blog article.
