  2. Well I think that's the point..
    They say it's going to take 10 years to rebuild lol
    Yes if you hire all DEI people 🙉🙉🙉
    Isn't it weird how 2 minutes have been deleted whe it comes to the black box 🤔🤔

  3. Russia is attacking the US from the inside, never before has there been such a powerful influence. That is why for years the USA has not been so active in foreign policy, but today in helping Ukraine.

    This can have very serious consequences for the USA as the main power, losing control from the outside, it can also lose control from the inside – Russian agents are awake. The weakness of the USA is already very obvious, unfortunately.

  4. Rom 3:23
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Rom 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death;

    Psalms 9:17
    The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

    Acts 8:37
    And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

    Rom 10:9
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Corinthians 15:3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    Ephesians 2:8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

  6. Be very quiet….shhhhhh 🤫

    BREAKING: ABC democrat-funded propaganda distracting america 🇺🇸 from Hunter Biden in court today.

    ABC fake news been quiet about it all last week and this week because they silently trying to drop the tax fraud charges and grant immunity. Biden faces 17 years prison sentence if convicted.

    Democrats don’t want Left-wing media broadcasting because it may hurt the case by giving America 🇺🇸 focus on the case 🤣

    ABC fake news doesn’t report news, they hide it and coverup corruption of democrat party.

  7. Say:
    Jesus you are the Lord and I believe in my heart God raised you from the death on the Third day, Cleanse me with your shedding blood on the Cross and help me do your will in Jesus name amen.

  8. I think the Army Corps of Engineers. Will come up with a temporary, Floating Bridge Structure. That'll only take a couple of months to erect. Traffic will be, compartmentalized. Trucks on one section. Cars on the other. They will run it like a highway section. With traffic lights. That will allow a greater flow in one direction than the other. Depending upon daypart. And be controlled with AI. And autonomous drones. We got that.

    Waiting years is not going to cut it.. Not when the economy was based upon having that bridge present. That's why it was originally, erected. It helped to improve the economy. The economy has to get back up and running as quickly as possible. While construction of a new bridge commences. That will take years in the making. As cement pilings. Can only dry, so quickly. They need a while, to cure. And to make certain the new bridge does not fall over. Like this last one did. And how about we build this one right? Like to be heavy duty for decades to come? Instead of flimsy.

    I mean something has to change. Best we make them now. Before another collapse.

  9. I want y’all to think about this we’re talking about a captain of a ship not just your local truck driving forgot to measure his load for high clearance and from my understanding there’s more than two certified captains on these cargo ships.. you don’t accidentally run into a high volume bridge with a cargo ship. I’m not buying that.

  10. Why engineers 🧑‍💻 didn’t put/ sink concrete pillars 25-50ft parallel or around in front of bridges feet to stop a boat from hitting bridges feet like they do with cars..good job engineers..NOT..u sucks..

  11. 3-5 weeks to get the boat out min. 5 months till the harbor is open partially. 16 18 months min to get the bridge out. 3 plus years before ANY construction begins. lf they set records 4 more years to repair what was left undamaged. That l know of there are only 2 or 3 cranes on the east coast big enough to do the job. They are not even close to there.

  12. Forcing tax-paying Americans onto renewables while you ship coal abroad is obscene and the highest order of hypocrisy!!!! Outrage! Thoughts and prayers for the dead and their mourning families and friends.

  13. Jesus saves! According to God's word, you are on your way to an eternal, burning place called Hell because your sin has separated you from the Almighty, Holy, Creator God. (I am trying to warn you because I love you and want you to be saved!)

    God wants you to go to Heaven so he sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, to come down to Earth, live a perfect, sinless life, and die for the sins of all the world. On the third day, he rose from the dead under his own power to claim victory over death and prove his deity.

    If you receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, trusting solely in the blood that he shed for you on the cross of Calvary, then God will give you the very righteousness of Jesus Christ and eternal life with him in Heaven. All religions or lack of faith in God will end you up in Hell. Ye must be born again! Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ today and be saved!

    "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" – Hebrews 9:27 KJV

    "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." – Romans 3:23-26 KJV

    "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." – Romans 5:8-9 KJV

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16 KJV

  14. I would think that they can have the port reopened a whole lot faster than they can rebuild the bridge. I’m also thinking that it’s going to be a lot more difficult to rebuild the bridge if there’s an active port and they have to work around ship traffic.
