Why do they not already have cranes on barges to clear the passage for the ships to get thru. Someone is dragging their feet already on this. The equipment should already in place even if they have not been cleared to do the job.
The U.S. Coast Guard said on Wednesday night that huge barges carrying cranes were heading to the Baltimore area to start clearing the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge from the Patapsco River.
When the 1.6-mile-long bridge — which saw around 30,000 vehicles cross it daily — collapsed on Tuesday, it sent steel wreckage down into the river below. That wreckage created an obstacle for divers searching for victims.
The wreckage also blocks cargo and other ships from accessing the Port of Baltimore, which is closed to vessel traffic "until further notice."
Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of Maryland State Police, said during a news conference on Wednesday: “We’re now moving from a recovery mode to a salvage operation. Because of the superstructure surrounding what we believe are the vehicles and the amount of concrete and debris, divers are no longer able to safely navigate or operate around that.”

Technically none of these were the governments fault... but I thought it was funny.

Just curious, How many are jumping on the DJT IPO? ... Like most IPO's it is off to a bang up start.. The main problem I see is that Truth Social only has about 600,000 monthly users... Compared to other Social Media platforms that is really weak.

Trump is selling 'God Bless the USA' Bibles for $59.99 as he faces mounting legal bills (yahoo.com)

This is a LONG and articulate read - written from a veteran,
It took me awhile to get through it - but some of the info is eye opening.
That was a very long rambling read.. As a USMC Veteran, I do not agree with a bunch of what he says... but that is me...
When he says our founders wrote that in the Constitution and the UCMJ in 1787 is just bunk... as the UCMJ was written by congress in 1950.
I also do not believe we have been under military occupancy since 2016... I do not believe that WWI and WWII were corporate wars, Korea, Vietnam, Middle East... quite possibly.
I agree, I am also tired of thank you for your service, and a couple of other things that are done now. I know it is smart ass to say, but my response is always.. thank you, but they paid me to do it.
Most veterans I know talk about deployments with other veterans, I seldom hear anyone talking about what they did or saw outside of that.. Just a few talking points... I could critique the whole thing, but then I would be rambling....
As I have said many times, we all have opinions.. so..

This is from 10 years ago... 2014.. I was not a fan of this guy, and I know almost all here will probably not even listen to him... But I do miss an intelligent speech without all the garbage we get from both sides nowadays...
