Some people rise to the occasion, and some rise to their level of incompetence. For Pete Buttigieg, it’s less about rising and more about stalling — like one of his beloved electric vehicles running out of juice on a lonely stretch of Indiana highway. The transportation secretary has achieved what few in Washington could: becoming a punchline in record time.
Remember when Democrats touted him as a “rising star”? That’s not a political designation anymore; it’s a celestial warning. If Pete is your star, then your party is lost in space.
A $75-Billion Failure
Let’s start with Buttigieg’s electric vehicle debacle, a fiasco so monumental that it could be used as a case study in bureaucratic ineptitude. According to CBS’s Margaret Brennan, $75 billion in taxpayer money has produced a whopping eight — yes, eight — E.V. charging stations. Brennan asked Buttigieg: “How is this possible?” His response was a textbook exercise in government gobbledygook: blame the states, point to “early challenges,” and hope no one notices that the emperor is wearing no clothes — or in this case, no charging cords.
Numbers don’t lie, but Buttigieg does his best to spin them like a used car salesman hawking a lemon. The New York Post labeled him “The Little Cabinet Secretary Who Couldn’t.”

Mayor of Mediocrity
Buttigieg’s disastrous tenure should surprise no one who watched him stumble as mayor of South Bend, Indiana — a reality the media largely ignored. His administration was marked by controversies like the firing of the city’s first black police chief, which alienated portions of the community and raised serious questions about his leadership under pressure.

What’s Next?
As Buttigieg’s tenure at the Department of Transportation sputters to its merciful conclusion, one might hope he’d fade into obscurity. But don’t count on it. The diversity-obsessed denizens of Democrat politics are likely already polishing their talking points, positioning him as a “visionary” for 2028. Never mind his dismal record; for them, style trumps substance every time.
Rather than learning from his failures, Democrats seem eager to reward them. If the past is any indication, Buttigieg will be sold as a polished product of the technocratic elite — a man who can speak at length about problems he never solves. Because with Pete, it’s always the same: a lot of talk, a lot of spin, and very little delivered.

Commentary:
Buttplug Pete, "Admiral" Levine, Sam Brinton, they're all the faces of DEI and the Neo-Marxist Democrat party, whom millions supposedly voted or "voted" into power in the '20 Big Steal with an assist from RINOs, GOPers and cowards in black robes who ruled "no standing."
Buttigieg’s main Qualification for his appointment was being Gay. That should tell us all we need to know. Same with the Admiral and Nuclear waste expert. My only question is why did the Biden Admin pick these incompetents, I am sure there are many competent LGBTQ personal since LGBTQ appears to have been one of the qualifications.
He certainly proved his incompetence through a series of Supply Chain shortage screw-ups, handling of train accidents (East Palestine, OH) and air traffic insufficiencies.
The Baltimore bridge collapse happened under Pete's reign of terror. It probably wasn't his fault but the aftermath is.
The reason the bridge collapsed is because the cofferdams supporting the bridge columns were too small. They are designed to prevent maritime traffic from hitting the bridge columns, and they were sized for ships built 50 years ago. The overhang of the bow of modern container ships is far greater than ships of the 1970's. The ship is supposed to hit the cofferdam before the bridge columns. If there had been competent oversight at either the Port of Baltimore or the Transportation Department those cofferdams would have been enlarged as was necessary.
I'm sure Pete isn't applying this lesson to the other bridges in the US.
All in all, Peter Buttigieg has risen to the height of his incompetence and from here on it's a short fall to irrelevance and obscurity.

He's a useless piece of shyte.
Best part....

MARGARET BRENNAN: Let me ask you about a portion of this that I think does fall under your portfolio, and that's the charging stations you mentioned. The Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging stations have been produced with a $7.5 billion investment that taxpayers made back in 2021.

Why isn't that happening more quickly?

SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG: So, the president's goal is to have half a million chargers up by the end of this decade. Now, in order to do a charger, it's more than just plunking a small device into the ground. There's utility work and this is also really a new category of federal investment. But we've been working with each of the 50 states. Every one of them is getting formula dollars to do this work, engaging them in the first handful -
