Biden's Terrorist-Aid Pier Is Now Sinking

The Bee:

gazapierbreakoffbee.jpg


Deliveries to Hamas terrorists have been suspended after a piece of Biden's Friendship Dock broke off. Biden's Folly is now sinking.

The U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said bad weather was believed to be the reason that the part had broken off. They did not say how big the part was or speculate on how long it would take for the pier to resume operations.

The pier was announced by President Joe Biden in March and involved the military assembling the floating structure off the coast. Estimated to cost $320 million for the first 90 days and involve about 1,000 U.S. service members, it went into operation two weeks ago.

The pier's closure came the week after three U.S. service members were injured, one critically, in a forklift accident related to the pier.


You Youngs may not remember Jimmy Carter's ill-fated attempt to rescue his failing 1980 political campaign. At a late hour, he finally gave the greenlight for a special forces operation to rescue the hostages from Iranian Muslim fanatics. But the helicopters crashed in a dust-storm.

It became emblematic of Carter's ineffectual, feckless presidency.


Now Biden's got his own sandstorm.

An American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships into the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, leading it to get stuck on the coast of Ashdod, eyewitnesses say.

Another ship was then sent to try and extract the stuck vessel, but also got beached.

Update on the Biden admin's Gaza pier to nowhere: Parts of it have broken free and washed up in Israel. And virtually all of the aid that was delivered was stolen by Hamas. A $320M fleecing of the US taxpayer. There should be hearings.

Meanwhile: Biden's trying to excite black voters by trotting out his favorite lies about his ever-changing backstory.

And he repeats the lie again.

Message: I care (about black people). Paragraph. Pause for applause.


Does that look like a big crowd? It's a deliberate camera trick. This photograph shows that the entire "crowd" is just densely packed into about one-quarter of the available space.

More pics expose the hoax.

17 JUST IN: NBC reports that Trump's defense team is "newly animated" and have "cracked" a smile while the District Attorney's team looks "tense and apprehensive" in New York.

The moment came as the jury submitted a second note to Judge Merchan, asking him to give the instructions again.

"The District Attorney’s team looks tense and apprehensive. Todd Blanche, on Trump’s defense team, just cracked a tight smile. Trump, Blanche and Emil Bove, another one of Trump's attorneys, are whispering amongst themselves and look newly animated," NBC reported.

Jurors were then dismissed for the day after a few hours of deliberations.

"You must not google or otherwise search for information about the case," Merchan said.

Deliberations will continue tomorrow at 9:30.

It did, but in the interests of fairness, I do have to give credit to Carter on one thing: when it was time for his failed and humiliating election year stunt, he at least picked one that had direct American interest rather than openly backing the mullahs.

1,000+ Active Duty US service members and two or three forward deployed auxiliary ships plus assembling the pier has cost more than $320 million.

45 Do Lefties ever feel bad about telling straight up lies to support their guy?

I am thinking back when all the women of the Clinton administration abased themselves to declare that they ALL believed Bill Clinton when he said he did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

Later, when it turned out - LIKE WE ALL KNEW - that he had indeed had sex with that woman, not a single woman in the Clinton Administration walked back their support or apologized for lying in support of him.

So. no, I don't believe the Lefties are ever going to feel bad about telling us how not only is Biden a spry octogenarian, but he is more powerful than a locomotive. And the smartest man, ever.

"Stolen." Sure.

If I have a deadbeat brother who never pays back money I lend him, I cannot really complain when he promises to pay me back this time but then doesn't. I know the score. I know there is no such thing as a "loan" to him. I know he is going to take the money and never pay me back. It's the nature of things, and I can't claim he stole from me when he did nothing but continue a long, rich history of perfectly consistent behavior.

Hamas took it all? Shocking. Nobody could have seen it coming.

Enjoy your hearings. Maybe you'll get some nice sound bites out of the exercise before they press another big, sweaty wad of American money extracted from it's people into Hamas' hands.

Even if the Junta wasn't incompetent, even if Hamas wasn't stealing the aid, the intent of war is to inflict enough pain on your enemies to make them accept your terms.

Giving them aid while engaged in a war is inherently counterproductive.

Make Hamas choose prosecuting the war or watching THEIR civilian population suffer.

I'd bet my life that they have nukes already. See also Japan and South Korea. They'd be crazy to rely on the US, because you never know when we'll elect a Democrat administration that will double-cross them. The way Ukraine got double-crossed by Clinton, who convinced them to divest themselves of the Soviet nukes with a promise to defend them, and then Obama, who looked the other way when the Russians grabbed Crimea, and then Biden, who told the Russians the US wouldn't mind a "small incursion" into Ukraine.

Story was floated around the time of South Africa testing a nuke that S.A., Taiwan, and Israel were collaborating on research. Taiwan most certainly has plans ready to go and with its nuclear power plants, like Japan, could go nuke probably within a few weeks.

347 Biden's May 24th statement on George Floyd in part:

George Floyd should be alive today. His murder shook the conscience of our nation and reminded us that our country has never fully lived up to its highest ideal of fair and impartial justice for all under the law. What we witnessed as a result was one of the largest modern civil rights movements in our Nation’s history, with people from every background marching together against racism and systemic injustice.

Fair and impartial justice? LOL. Ask Trump, J6 defendants, pro-life activists, etc. how that is going. Soros DAs letting violent criminals back on the streets is justice?

Civil rights movement? You mean BLM bilking $$$ off of his drug induced death and how the actual autopsy results were obscured to blame cops? Rioting, burning, looting that resulted in deaths, injuries, and businesses destroyed?

And the lists go on and on.

No.

The British Mulberry B at Gold Beach remained in operation until March 1945.

Mulberry A was destroyed on June 19, 1945.

The US Army's reinforcement and logistics plan for Normandy was saved when the Army and Navy made a virtue of necessity. They quickly figured out how to transfer men and stuff directly across the beach by beaching LSTs, Rhino Ferries, and smaller amphib craft at high tide, off-loading while the tide went out and came in, re-floating the vessels to go out and load-up again at cargo ships waiting in deep water.

So there could be a supermajority agreement, 8/12, for Trump on each of the secondary charges necessary to make this a felony. But if the 4 voting for conviction on each charge are not the same, then they can be totaled up to get to 12. Again, even though a majority or supermajority was against conviction on each individual secondary charge. Insanity.

Posted by: Cheri at May 29, 2024 05:18 PM (oiNtH)

from James Kunstler: https://tinyurl.com/32ubmuvd

Surely it was the right thing to do for President “Joe Biden” to remind the nation of the tragic loss of George Floyd four years ago this Memorial Day weekend. At the time, the man known as “the Black Thomas Edison” was rumored to be this close to achieving an economically viable system for producing electricity via atomic fusion using the fentanyl molecule (C22H28N2O) combined with the nuclei of alcohol (C2H6O), releasing enough energy from one gram to power a city the size of Minneapolis for a day. [ . . . ] Alas, Dr. Floyd had apparently ingested a small amount of these experimental substances accidently before leaving his lab May 25, 2020, when he encountered the white supremacist police officer Derek Chauvin outside a Cup Foods convenience store in Minneapolis’s “Powderhorn” neighborhood. For reasons never understood, despite manifold judicial inquiries, the officer dragged the Great Man out of his car [ . . . ] (long article)
