Has the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore been fixed yet? President Joe Biden has proven with his Gaza pier project that the administration can get something done if it really wants to. It was during his State of the Union address that Biden announced the U.S. military would be deployed to Gaza to build a pier so that relief ships could get aid to the Palestinian people faster. Technically, there would be no U.S. boots on the ground in Gaza … troops would build the entire thing offshore and then push it into place.
Two months and more than $320 million later, Gaza has a new pier for unloading badly needed humanitarian aid from ships. The Associated Press reported that the first line of trucks came across the pier Friday, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said “more than 300 pallets” of aid were in the initial delivery and handed over to the U.N., which was preparing it for distribution.
According to Reuters military and intelligence correspondent Phil Stewart, though, most of the aid was stolen as soon at it hit land.
Phil Stewart (@phildstewart) ~ Reuters is reporting that most of the aid coming into Gaza from the U.S. military's pier since Saturday was stolen by Palestinians as it made its journey to the UN's warehouse in nearby Deir El Balah.
* 11 trucks out of 16 trucks were cleaned out on Saturday
* No deliveries on Sunday or Monday

Brett Nemeth (@SoCalBrett) ~ This type of "aid" by the Biden administration is only extending the war because Hamas is taking all the aid and either using it for Hamas or selling it on the black market. The UN is a disgrace and the Biden policy is supporting terrorism.
Just like the BILLIONS of dollars that Obama and Biden have freely forked over to Iran in support of their terrorism.
Jay Lampert (@MortChristenson) ~ It's like we are governed by morons.
Massive amounts of aid go into Gaza through multiple crossings. Much of it is stolen by Hamas.
So what does the US do? Insist on another method to deliver to Gaza ... that Hamas now steals.
The problem was always after it enters Gaza, not delivering TO Gaza. Stop being morons. Stop blaming Israel. Blame Hamas for whatever issues there are.
The Biden administration is definitely chock full of morons.
Noah Friedland (@NoahFriedland) ~ The Biden Administration is virtue signaling to their two state solution of MN and MI. They don’t care about the Palestinians or whether supplies get to the people. They are perfectly happy to provide food and fuel to Hamas.
Yes ... well said. MN and MI ARE most certainly Biden's "Two State Solution."
Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak) ~ The U.S. taxpayer-provided $320m Gaza pier is an ongoing terror finance violation by the Biden administration and administered by CENTCOM. We ship aid to Hamas that it "steals" and sells in Gaza to finance its terror war. There should be hearings.
There should be public hangings.
The pier seemed like an idiotic idea at the time, but "Genocide Joe" was desperate to get aid to the poor Palestinians. Will this get him the votes he needs in Dearborn?
Too bad Brandon has no interest in retrieving the hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas.
