Let’s be clear about one thing, if Thomas was not a Supreme Court justice this guy crow would not give him the time of day. If he hasn’t already gotten something from Thomas he will expect to get something in the future before Thomas retires.

There is always more to the story…. At the end of the video you see the skydiver he was talking to and he wasn’t just staring at nothing. ”The Murdoch outlets are so desperate to distract from @potus's record that they just lie. Here, they use an artificially narrow frame to hide from viewers that he just saw a skydiving demonstration. He's saying congratulations to one of the divers and giving a thumbs up.

If they had built the bridge right the first time it would have survived the ship hitting it. If you look at the Golden Gate Bridge the tower farthest from land has a cement wall surrounding that tower. That is called a buffer. The theory being if a ship hits that instead of the tower the bridge won’t be damaged. And it works, in 2013 a ship hit the buffer around one of the towers of the Bay Bridge. The bridge suffered no damage but the ship was damaged, caused an oil spill. From what I understand all the major bridges in SF Bay have these buffers. These buffers should be mandatory for any bridge that has any type of large ships going under it. ABC 7 News “As Baltimore shipping channel reopens, DOT estimates at least $1.7B to rebuild bridge abc7ne.ws/3VoFV8c” x.com/abc7newsbayarea/status/1800991495920459899?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwEven if the Baltimore bridge had been built with a fender, it might not have survived the crash. At the time the bridge was built almost 50 years ago, we didn't have the enormous container ships that we do today. Just physics alone - the size, weight and speed of the ship makes it challenging for a bridge structure to survive being hit in vulnerable places. Retrofitting bridges would probably be cost prohibitive and has not been done before. learningenglish.voanews.com/a/debate-over-whether-protections-could-have-saved-baltimore-bridge/7547518.htmlwww.transportation.gov/briefing-room/transcript-press-briefing-us-secretary-transportation-pete-buttigieg-press-secretarySECRETARY BUTTIGIEG: Some modern bridges around the world, especially after the 1980 Tampa incident, have been designed with different features to mitigate impacts and protect their piers. Right now, I think there’s a lot of debate taking place among the engineering community about whether any of those features could have had any role in — in a situation like this.
Again, it’s difficult to overstate the impact of this collision we’re talking about. It’s not just as big as a building. It’s really as big as a block — 100,000 tons all going into this pier all at once. |

More on the bridge. the port of Baltimore is open again, a major accomplishment major milestoneSecretary Pete Buttigieg @secretarypete
President Biden said his administration would do whatever it takes to help the people of Baltimore heal & rebuild in the wake of the Key Bridge tragedy.
We have a long way to go, but this is a major milestone as we mark the full reopening of the channel to the Port of Baltimore. |

The area around Phoenix Arizona is on fire, southern Florida is under water! No climate change... rolling eyes.. DeSantis at his best... Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency on Wednesday for five counties due to heavy flooding in southern Florida just the day after he cut $205 million in stormwater, wastewater, and sewer projects from the state's budget.Heavy rains caused by a disorganized tropical system have inundated southern and western Florida since Tuesday, bringing more than a foot of rain in places and disrupting road and air travel throughout the area. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC), part of the National Weather Service, put southern Florida under a rare 4 out of 4 high risk of flooding on Thursday as rains were expected to continue there, and warned that it could be "locally catastrophic." The rains "transformed roads into canals and caused water to seep into homes," CNNreported, while a tow truck driver in Fort Lauderdale told The Associated Press that abandoned cars everywhere reminded him of "zombie movie." The extreme weather prompted state Sen. Jason Pizzo (D-37) to criticize DeSantis' budget cut. "As I’m sitting here stuck on a Brightline train because of flooding in my district, all those stormwater projects he cut look pretty stupid right now,” Pizzo told the AP. DeSantis cut the $205 million from the budget amid other cuts that he made Tuesday in finalizing the state budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year that begins on July 1, Tampa Bay Timesreported. In May, DeSantis signed a bill that removes most references to climate change from state law and streamlines fossil fuel development projects—"Don't Say Climate Change," the bill's critics have called it, including a meteorologist who spoke up against it on air. On the day he signed the legislation, Key West was a record-setting 115°F. www.rawstory.com/florida-flooding/ |

The area around Phoenix Arizona is on fire, southern Florida is under water! No climate change... rolling eyes.. We will never know will we because they did absolutely nothing. They were lucky more people weren’t killed. To have nothing around those piers that could get hit by a ship is negligence on whoever maintains the bridge. This was a news report done by a local station after the bridge collapsed. It talks about how the Bay Bridge has been hit twice by cargo ships. The guy talks about asking for a grant to do work on the fenders. youtu.be/u9fVZ5cfElk?si=AoxnHMndUVnC_ozB |

heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-13-2024The Port of Baltimore reopened yesterday, fewer than 100 days after a container ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, collapsing it into the channel. The port is a major shipping hub, especially for imports and exports of cars and light trucks—about 750,000 vehicles went through it in 2022. It is also the nation’s second-biggest exporter of coal. In 2023 it moved a record-breaking $80 billion worth of foreign cargo. After the crash, the administration rushed support to the site, likely in part to emphasize that under Democrats, government really can get things done efficiently, as Democratic Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro demonstrated in June 2023 when he oversaw the reopening of a collapsed section of I-95 in just 12 days. Reopening the Port of Baltimore required salvage workers, divers, crane operators, and mariners to clear more than 50,000 tons of steel. Yesterday, at the reopening, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg noted the “whole of government” response. State leadership under Maryland governor Wes Moore worked with those brought together by the Unified Command set up under the National Response System to coordinate the responses of the local government, state government, federal government, and those responsible for the crisis to make them as effective and efficient as possible; the Coast Guard; the Army Corps of Engineers; the first responders; and the port workers. Buttigieg noted that the response team had engaged all the stakeholders in the process, including truck drivers and trucking companies, trade associations, and agricultural producers. He gave credit for that ability to the administration’s establishment of the White House Supply Chains Disruptions Task Force, which, he said, “put us in a strong place to mitigate the disruptions to our supply chain and economy.” Clearing the channel was possible thanks to an immediate down payment of $60 million from the Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. The department estimates that rebuilding the bridge will cost between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion. President Joe Biden has said he wants the federal government to fund that rebuilding as it quickly did in 2007, when a bridge across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis suddenly collapsed. Within a week of that collapse, Congress unanimously passed a measure to fund rebuilding the bridge, and President George W. Bush signed it into law. But now some Republicans are balking at Biden’s request, saying that lawmakers should simply take the money that has been appropriated for things like electric vehicles, or wait until insurance money comes in from the shipping companies.
