Is Pete Buttigieg doing anything other than running for office?

By Monica Showalter

A culprit is emerging from the supply chain crisis in the minds of voters and it's not good news for Democrats.

Here's what a new poll from I&I/TIPP, via Issues & Insights' Terry Jones, has found:

...the November I&I/TIPP Poll shows Americans overwhelmingly blame our Potomac-based political class for the current problems.

The poll asked: “In general, how responsible are politicians in Washington for recent increases in gasoline and food prices?” The answer suggests coal (or perhaps tiny solar panels?) in many politicians’ stockings this year: 69% of those responding said politicians were responsible, while just 21% said they weren’t.

Perhaps the most surprising result comes from looking at the political breakdown. There is little, if any, difference between Democrats (71%), Republicans (73%) and independents/others (68%). Finally, something on which all the major parties can agree.

Sure enough, the Biden administration has achieved 'unity' all right. Every party now agrees that the Biden administration is incompetent. Democrats, who have no understanding of inflation as a strictly monetary phenomenon (read this) are just astute enough to recognize that inflation has some kind of tie with supply chain failures, though, and those supply chain failures are things that people can see in front of them as factories shut down and workers get laid off for lack of spare parts. More specifically, they recognize that the supply chain mess is damaging their electoral prospects. They're actually getting scared (Hat tip: Instapundit). 

 

Which brings us to Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation. What's the man in charge of the supply chain in the administration with Biden's name on it doing? Well, aside from going on an extended paternity leave without telling anyone at the height of the crisis, and then using criticism of the matter as a bully pulpit in favor of it on the Sunday talk shows, he's been busy talking about racist highways, carrying on about the matter for about two weeks running ... as the supply chain issue continues to be a problem.

 

Meanwhile, his pals in Washington and at a friendly nearby ivy have put out tripe like this this past weekend:

 

 

Which is laughable. Both candidates are utterly unpopular and doing their "fair share" to drag the Democrats under. In addition to that, the pair hate each other, with Kamala's camp last seen accusing the Buttigieg camp of leaking mean stories about their candidate.

 

So now we have Buttigieg or someone aligned to him launchin weather balloons about his next job as if it's a campaign. Coming in the middle of a bona fide supply chain crisis, it seems that someone's got his priorities on backwards.

 

Buttigieg seems to be running for office rather than running the department of Transportation and focusing on the job around supply chain issues that the voters have paid him to do. Harris has always been accused by her many detractors of 'running for her next job.' It seems that Buttigieg, who's taken Harris's failed response to the border crisis as a how-to guide, has decided to follow in her footsteps. Yet it's strange to see that happening as the poll shows that voters are blaming Democrats for the supply chain crisis. Rather than solve anything, they just run for office some more.

 

It's time for Pete to put up or get out, He's got a job to do as the supply chain continues to fail and he's not doing it. Biden should get rid of him, to ensure that the entire Democrat party comes crashing and burning down now, come November 2022. They aren't fooling the voters anymore.

President Joe Biden has returned to the White House after his five-day Thanksgiving vacation with plans to address the country on critical issues.

The president returned Sunday evening after spending five days on Nantucket Island with his family, remaining mostly private.

He spoke briefly with reporters as he attended a Christmas tree lighting ceremony on the island and also went shopping.

Biden will address the nation on his administration’s efforts to combat the Omicron variant of the coronavirus on Monday, according to the White House, as well as supply chain difficulties during the Christmas season after meeting with retail CEOs.

First Lady Jill Biden is also expected to reveal the White House decorations for the holiday season on Monday afternoon. Her theme this year is “Gifts from the Heart.”

Later in the week, Biden will travel to Rosemount, Minnesota to promote his infrastructure and social entitlement spending bill.

He will also commemorate World Aids Day, celebrate Hanukkah, and again address the ongoing battle against coronavirus before lighting the National Christmas tree on Thursday.

On Friday, Biden will react to the November jobs report.

Biden’s schedule does not include visiting Waukesha, Wisconsin after the horrific Christmas Parade attack that killed six and wounded over 60. Seven children are still hospitalized from the attack.

The president also has no plans to address rising crime and reports of the growing looting of retail stores.

 

President Biden’s Average Approval Rating Sinks to 41.6 Percent

President Joe Biden’s approval rating is now underwater by double digits, over 10 months into his presidency, Friday’s RealClearPolitics’ average shows.

RCP’s average of polls, which includes Rasmussen Reports, Economist/YouGov, NPR/PBS/Marist, Reuters/Ipsos, Fox News, Politico/Morning Consult, Quinnipiac, ABC News/Washington Post, Gallup, Monmouth, Federalist/Susquehanna, USA Today/Suffolk, Emerson, and CNN, currently shows Biden’s approval rating sitting at 41.6 percent. A majority, 53.1 percent disapprove of Biden’s job performance, giving him a net negative of 11.5 percent. 

Every single poll listed showed Biden’s approval underwater, several by double digits. The USA Today/Suffolk survey, for instance, has Biden underwater by 21 percent, garnering an abysmal 38 percent approval rating. Similarly, Federalist/Susquehanna showed Biden -16, with 36 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving. 

The downward trend for Biden follows a string of issues concerning the American people, including the economy, as inflation hits hard and food and gas prices skyrocket this holiday season.

While Biden originally dismissed inflation as a temporary problem, he admitted this month that it is, indeed, “worrisome.” This week, Biden “ordered the release of tens of millions of barrels of oil from the strategic reserve in a move to bring down prices at the pump” — a move that many criticized, asserting that such measures should not be used to reverse bad policy.

Biden’s downward spiral in approval ratings also comes months after Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, where 13 U.S. servicemembers lost their lives and Americans were left behind, as Biden abided by the Taliban-approved timeline for withdrawal. 

Nevertheless, President Biden departed early for his Thanksgiving vacation in Nantucket this week as word of another coronavirus variant of concern began to emerge, prompting the United Kingdom to suspend flights from South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
