BALTIMORE: The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge will cost us all some big bucks. At least 40 ships are now more or less trapped inside the port and the American Trucking Association estimates 4,900 trucks per day carrying an annual average of $28 billion worth of goods will have to travel by other, more expensive routes. Add in the loss in revenue from the port, which brings in $400 million taxes for Maryland annually, and you’ve got a massive economic problem.

In his announcement about the collapse, Dementia Joe said he had been over the bridge “many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car.” The bridge had only four lanes of traffic and no rail lines.

CLIMATE: On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, the Senate Committee on the Budget held a hearing entitled, “Recreation at Risk: The Nature of Climate Costs.” One of the “expert” witnesses was Gus Schumacher, “a world champion nordic skier” who testified that “climate change has dramatically altered the conditions for winter sports” which “not only affects recreational opportunities but also jeopardizes the economic viability of communities reliant on winter tourism.”

FLAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1772909507280003345 [:41] to hear Jill Biden give us stupid voters a history lesson. Harris Rigby at Not The Bee asks, “So let’s get this straight: If you support Florida’s ban on teaching 6-year-olds about sex, or oppose porn in schools, or support a SCOTUS decision upholding the Second Amendment or overturning Roe v Wade, then you too are a Nazi helping to overthrow America. Did I get that right?

PERVERT: Yet another prominent LGBTQ activist has been arrested on child p*rn charges. Roy “Trey” Farmer (53) was arrested at the condo he owns next to Princeton’s main entrance.

TRANS: Natalie Pershall (46), a man pretending to be a woman, has pleaded guilty to photographing females in the women’s bathroom at the JB Hunt Corporate Office. He has been sentenced to 87 days in jail, plus six years of state-supervised probation. In addition, he will have to register as a sex offender. 

GRAMMY NOTES: I don’t recall ever chucking a toy out the door, but I did threaten to return “The Titanic” to Blockbusters if the girls didn’t stop kicking each other. They didn’t stop, no doubt thinking I wanted to see the end as well. Turns out, I didn’t care about seeing the end as much as I did about being an Awesome Parent Who Was Willing To Make Any Sacrifice For Their Future Good. Also, I already knew how the movie ended. The boat sank.
