Why Pete B. Prefers Diapers

Pete Buttigieg may be politically driven, but in his new job as Secretary of Transportation he seems as effective as a speed bump on the road to relieving the supply chain hang-up at our Southern California ports. His clueless inaction suggests that he was tapped for that cabinet post because his seven-month tour of duty in Afghanistan included occasionally driving other personnel in a Toyota Land Cruiser outside “the wire” of his camp and along the clogged streets of Kabul.
Like other Joe Biden cabinet appointees, such as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Buttigieg appears to be struggling in his new role, though all three men boast impressive academic credentials.
While he was at Harvard and Oxford, Buttigieg vehemently opposed the war in Afghanistan, but later adopted a pro-war stance that at the time was embraced by most progressives. Following his conversion, he joined the U.S. Navy Reserve.
Two years into his first term as mayor of South Bend – and during the worst scandal of his administration -- Pete was called to active duty and deployed to Afghanistan, leaving the control of the city temporarily in other hands. Benefitting politically from his military service, he was elected to a second mayoral term.
Mayor Pete’s tenure was plagued by racially-related problems. And in terms of safety, one report in 2019 put South Bend in the 31st percentile, meaning that 69% of American cities were considered safer.
In his recent move up the career ladder, Buttigieg has already made history as the first openly gay cabinet member to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. At age 39, he is the youngest present cabinet member – and the youngest-ever Secretary of Transportation.
What clearly gave a boost to his political ambitions was the fact that immediately upon withdrawing from the Democrat primary in March of 2020, he threw his support, such as it was, behind Sleepy Joe.
