This just shows yet another reason democrats are useless. They simply cannot do anything in the real world worthwhile. All they're OK at (not good, just OK), is lying, cheating and stealing . . .

Thanks to Sean Duffy, the Hurricane Damaged I-40 in North Carolina is Already Open Again – Pete Buttigieg Claimed it Would Take ‘Months or Even Years’

The I-40 in North Carolina was heavily damaged during Hurricane Helene, which was a huge problem as it’s a major road.

The Biden administration ignored many of the problems in North Carolina after the storm, leaving people sleeping in tents in winter. Who can ever forget FEMA under Biden, avoiding homes that had Trump signs in front of them?

When it came to the I-40, Biden’s transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg said it would take months, maybe even years to fix it.

Sean Duffy was sworn in as Trump’s transportation secretary just a few weeks ago and the I-40 is already open again. The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced the reopening of Interstate 40 on Saturday morning.

I-40 was destroyed by Hurricane Helene five months ago. Flash flooding along the Pigeon River damaged large sections of the eastbound lanes near the Tennessee line.

“This marks a significant step toward reconnecting North Carolina with Tennessee, and it comes as a relief to travelers and businesses alike", the NCDOT said.

It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you have competent people doing the job and a commitment to getting the work done.

After a phone call between Trump and Trudeau on Wednesday, Trump accused Trudeau of exploiting the tariff war to remain in power. The U.S. president repeated the claim Thursday morning, saying Trudeau would run to be prime minister again.
“Believe it or not, despite the terrible job he’s done for Canada, I think that Justin Trudeau is using the tariff problem, which he largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister,” Trump said on Truth Social. “So much fun to watch!”

Freedom Convoy protester Pat King has been sentenced to a three-month conditional sentence of house arrest with no jail time in Ottawa’s Provincial courthouse. Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland delivered his decision at the Ottawa Courthouse on Friday morning. Hackland said there was “no precedent” for this case or trial but said a “deterrent sentence was needed” in his summation prior to delivering his sentence. The judge noted that there is “no shortage of people who think their cause is correct” to the point of breaking the law. “Allowing citizens to break the law as they see fit is antithetical to a safe and just society.”
