Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is under investigation for his constant use of private jets.
Pete Buttigieg has taken at least 18 flights on private jets all paid for by US taxpayers, according to previous report published by Fox News.
Buttigieg flies on private jets while lecturing Americans on the virtues of making sacrifices in the name of climate change.
Buttigieg flies private while Americans deal with delayed flights and flight cancelations because of his incompetence and corruption.
“Everyday Americans face flight [cancellations] and long wait times because Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has completely mismanaged air travel,” APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital. “Yet, he gets to avoid all that by taking taxpayer-funded private jets to destinations with readily available commercial airline options.”
“And for someone so holier-than-thou on reducing emissions, Buttigieg sure doesn’t seem to mind the pollution caused by his literal jet-setting,” she continued. “This is hypocrisy at its finest, and these troubling expenses to taxpayers must come under immediate scrutiny.”
The Department of Transportation’s internal watchdog is now investigating Buttigieg for his constant private jet travel.
Fox News reported:
The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) internal watchdog is opening an audit into Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over his extensive use of private jets, the agency confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday.
The DOT Inspector General investigation comes roughly two months folowing a Fox News Digital report that showed Buttigieg, who has repeatedly argued in favor of aggressive action to combat climate change, has taken at least 18 flights using taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office in early 2021. Flight records reviewed by Fox News Digital aligned with Buttigieg’s internal calendar obtained at the time by government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT).
“After Americans for Public Trust helped determine Secretary Buttigieg’s excessive use of taxpayer-funded government jets, we are pleased to see that his air travel is now under investigation,” APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital on Monday.
“Everyday Americans have faced unprecedented flight cancelations and disruptions, but Buttigieg has continued to fly private, even on a Coast Guard plane and even when commercial options were readily available.”

On February 4, 1864, Republican President Abraham Lincoln invited two black Americans to the White House. It was the first time blacks were invited to the White House as guests.
Grand Old Partisan reported:
Alexander Augusta and Anderson Abbott, regimental doctors with the 7th U.S. Colored Troops, were introduced by the Commissioner of Public Buildings. The President “kindly received” them and shook their hands.
Of course, Democrat newspapers at the time criticized Lincoln for it.
Grand Old Partisan posts daily updates on the Republican Party’s 160 years of fighting for civil rights.
Some things never change. Today Democrats are still destroying black lives.

A Christian girl’s basketball team in Vermont recently withdrew from Vermont’s division IV basketball tournament due to a transgender (biological male) being on the opposing team.
Mid Vermont Christian School forfeited their upcoming Division IV state tournament game due to the opposing team having a biological male on the girl’s team.
MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg told Valley News “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.”
Fogg would go on to share “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

Per ABC 13 News:
The Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) girls basketball team was supposed to play a first-round game against Long Trail School last Tuesday night. But because of its unwillingness to suit up against a team with a biologically male player, the school forfeited, and thus had to withdrawal from the year-end tournament.
There is no law in Vermont prohibiting transgender female students from playing on girls sports teams.
The Vermont Principal’s Association which serves as the governing body for athletics in the state of Vermont has previously ruled students can play on any team that “matches their gender identity used at school.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported a high school girls volleyball team was banned from their own locker room after they refused to share it with a biological male.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday wouldn’t say if the Biden Regime will release an “unclassified version” of the Chinese lab leak assessment.
Joe Biden is once again protecting China.
The US Energy Department came out and claimed that Covid was released from a lab.
But no American entity has yet to claim that the release was intentional.
NSC spox John Kirby earlier Monday refused to confirm the DOE’s lab leak report.
“There is not a consensus right now in the US government about exactly how COVID started,” Kirby said.
“What caused the DOE assessment and was the President himself briefed on that?” AP reporter Chris Megerian asked Kirby.
“Again, I’m not going to confirm the press reporting,” Kirby said adding that Biden has been ‘informed’ along the way.
Karine Jean-Pierre played the same games with reporters and refused to confirm the DOE’s report.
“Are there any plans for the administration to release an unclassified of the Energy Department’s Covid origin report, and if not, why is the administration choosing to keep that assessment classified?” a reporter asked KJP.
KJP refused to give a straight answer.

NSC spox John Kirby on Monday fielded questions from reporters in the White House press briefing room.
A Fox News reporter asked Kirby about the Wall Street Journal’s latest report on the origins of Covid-19.
The US Energy Department came out and claimed that Covid was released from a lab.
But no American entity has yet to claim that the release was intentional.
“The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided.” – the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend.
John Kirby was asked about the lab leak and refused to confirm the reporting.
“On the Department of Energy’s findings the lab leak mostly likely caused the pandemic, how should Americans understand China’s response…swatting down this information?” Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Kirby.
“There is not a consensus right now in the US government about exactly how COVID started,” Kirby said.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson is HANDS DOWN the finest reporter in the state of Arizona!
That’s why Maricopa County wanted to block him from the press rooms.
And that is why The Gateway Pundit brought Maricopa County to court!
On Thursday, the questionably elected Arizona Attorney General – who operates like she is in slow motion or half asleep? – held a press conference on the massive fentanyl and narcotic seizure from the Sinaloa Cartel.
During the press gaggle, Mayes completely dodged the only real questions about the southern border from The Gateway Pundit reporter Jordan Conradson.
Mayes’ election is questionable because she won by just 280 votes after a shady vote recount discovered hundreds of ballots for Abe Hamadeh in rural Pinal County. Additionally, multiple election anomalies in Maricopa County put a large number of ballots in question. The number of ballots in question far outnumbers the margin of victory.
Kris Hayes repeatedly dodged Jordan Conradson’s questions about border security and her her plans to protect the citizens from Arizona with the historic flood of illegals crossing over into Arizona every day.
Hayes would not answer Jordan’s questions.
ULTRA MAGA PARTY put Jordan’s reporting into its own video – BRILLIANT!

New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones is the creator behind the “1619 Project. In a Twitter exchange, Hannah-Jones has the audacity to lecture  Xi Van Fleet on oppression.  Van Fleet, an opponent of CRT,  is a survivor of Mao’s brutal and deadly Cultural Revolution.
The fictitious 1619 Project is a long-form journalism project with writers from The New York Times, and The New York Times Magazine attempting to “reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of the United States’ national narrative.”
The Gateway Pundit has reported on Hannah-Jones labeling whites “barbaric devils” and “bloodsuckers” and comparing Christopher Columbus to Hitler.
Hannah-Jones and Van Fleet exchanged tweets on the issue.
Hannah-Jones:
Someone asked me why is Black history, specifically, being targeted. I said it’s because our history has always been political *by definition*: Our very presence on these lands is the greatest rebuke to the narrative of American exceptionalism. We give lie to the lie.
Van Fleet:
Yourself and I, an immigrant from China with 200 borrowed dollars in my pocket when I arrived more than 30 yrs ago, are the proof of American Exceptionalism.
Hannah-Jones:
How so. Be specific.
Van Fleet:
Natural rights is unique to American founding. Bc of it we were able to abolish slavery, Jim Crow, anti-Chinese laws … to allow individuals to succeed. What is not unique to America is slavery, which still exists today. Ppl fighting for human rights in China are jailed by CCP.
Hannah-Jones:
Ma’am, the idea of natural rights may have been unique, but 1/5th of the population was enslaved at our founding and had no “natural rights.” Further, you do not think protesters in the US face state violence and arrest? You think the US has no political prisoners?
Please watch episode five of the #1619hulu series called FEAR. I’m afraid your vision of America does not match the reality.
Van Fleet:
Mine is not a “vision”. Mine is “lived experience” under the enslavement of Communism, freedom in America, and the current Woke Revolution aiming to undo America. Black Americans are enslaved no more thanks to the persevering principles and humanity of this country.
In the views of many critics, it is an attempt at revisionist historical work.

This isn’t the first time Hannah-Jones has gone after an Asian women.  The Gateway Pundit reported that she sent a  Twitter mob to attack an Asian woman who complained about the surging violence in the New York City subway system.
A tweet pinned to Van Fleet’s Twitter says, “I am deeply thankful. Today 35 yr ago, my dream came true. I was granted a student visa to come to USA. I no longer feel this is the America that I arrived in. She has been under attack by Marxism/Communism that I thought I had escaped from. That’s why I am fighting to save her!”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Monday escalated his investigation into the Biden Crime Family.
“I am calling on US Treasury to testify at a hearing on March 10,” Comer said on Monday.
“The American people deserve transparency. Treasury’s failure to produce requested information related to the Biden family’s influence peddling schemes is unacceptable.” Rep Comer said.
Hunter Biden and his Uncle James have at least 150 suspicious activity reports on their accounts.
According to Rep. Comer, the Bush administration created banking suspicious activity reports. It was a way for banks to help the administration track foreign money laundering and dangerous terrorist activities.
Congress was always able to access the government reports from the Treasury Department.
But then Joe Biden immediately changed the law when he entered the White House. Now, Congress cannot access the Biden family’s suspicious activity reports.
And Treasury Secretary Janet Yellin is covering for the Biden Crime Family.
The government is withholding this information from Congress.
Rep. Comer asked the US Treasury to testify on March 5.

The Treasury Department is obstructing our investigation into the Biden family’s business schemes.
We are done with the excuses. @RepJamesComer is calling on @USTreasury to testify on March 10 about the department’s failure to produce documents. pic.twitter.com/H7TQ1Hole4

Environmental activist and legal expert Erin Brockovich has been a household name since Julia Roberts played her in the 2000 biopic that bears her name.
On Friday, she used her star power to illuminate the ongoing ecological disaster in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
She challenged people at the highest levels of government, who have left residents of the area affected by a toxic train derailment feeling lied to, to stop being dishonest with them — and to her.
Three decades ago, Brockovich was a single mother who successfully lobbied an attorney to give her a job. She later discovered the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) had been lying to residents of a town in California and worked tirelessly on their behalf.
People who were made sick by toxins were recognized and compensated, and the rest is history.
Fast-forward to this past week, and the now-62-year-old is standing up for the people of East Palestine, Ohio — whose lives were upended on Feb. 3 when a Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in their community.
Environmental groups have largely avoided acknowledging the incident, which occurred under a White House administration that claims to care about everyday Americans, their health and their air and water.
The hesitancy of all parties to openly discuss the environmental catastrophe has been concerning.
Much of the green lobby is of course aligned ideologically with the Democratic Party, and the party is led by people’s ambitions to eliminate fossil fuels and force the globe to rely on unproven green energy.
The same people who protested the Dakota Access Pipeline six years ago have been notably absent throughout the past four weeks.
The derailment of a train that was carrying chemicals that are now poisoning people and animals is nothing, if not inconvenient to people whose motives are political.
Simply put, it would be politically advantageous for a government that cannot manage crises if the people of East Palestine accepted what they’ve been told and stopped bringing attention to their collective plight.
That won’t happen if Brockovich has anything to do with it.
She visited the area and relayed to Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Friday that people have been given mixed messages about their drinking water.

She said schools in the area have had their drinking fountains locked up and was confident officials in charge are lying.
This has all happened since residents of the area were told their water was safe.
“Look, you don’t have to go any further, in my opinion, than a hundred-year study that we all know the miners did for us,” Brockovich said. “It’s called the canary in the mine shaft. Send the canary down there, it dies, might not be good for humans.”
She noted people in the community had witnessed dead fish and dead animals with their own eyes. She cited that as a pretty strong signal that areas inhabited by struggling wildlife “might not be good for humans.”
Brockovich challenged those in power when she stated any attempt to spin the situation on the ground would be met with resistance.
“And you can explain away all day long to me that nothing’s wrong,” she said. “But I see what’s going on here.”
Brockovich concluded, “You’re not going to gaslight me.”
The Environmental Protection Agency has been on the ground in East Palestine since the train derailed.
But Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took weeks to visit the community while Biden said he has no plans to visit the area.
But the people of East Palestine do have people advocating on their behalf.
Former President Donald Trump’s visit to the area generated the kind of buzz they needed. Brockovich, who has been on the ground and has spoken to those devastated by the incident, is now in their corner.
Given her success in fighting powerful entities with interests that do not necessarily align with what is best for the public, Brockovich could be a powerful ally.
