The left is taking it hard right now all around.

So the only thing floating in the water for the Democrats right now is the Jeffrey Goldberg story in The Atlantic that has official Washington abuzz. 

They are desperate to grab onto it — or anything else. In case you missed it, here is a recap to bring you up to speed.

If you aren’t acquainted with Goldberg, he is the editor of The Atlantic, a far-left publication that is infamous for its numerous embellishments over the years (as well as producing some of the most insane pro-Biden headlines ever published). As a “journalist,” he is perhaps most known during the Trump era for inventing the “suckers and losers” hoax. That should lead one to first question whether Goldberg is lying about this latest story. 

According to the White House, the chat, which was started to discuss then-incoming attacks on the Houthis in Yemen, did exist. Goldberg was inadvertently added to it by National Security Advisor Michael Waltz — or someone on his behalf. President Donald Trump has since given Waltz a vote of confidence, saying that he has “learned a lesson.” 

What’s not clear is whether any actual “war plans” or other classified information were disclosed, which is the heart of Goldberg’s contention. The White House is disputing his claim, and given his background, no one should be taking his word for it.

Jeffrey Goldberg is well-known for his sensationalist spin. Here are the facts about his latest story:

1. No “war plans” were discussed.

2. No classified material was sent to the thread.

3. The White House Counsel’s Office has provided guidance on a number of different…

So, of course, Democrats, particularly those who were in the failed Biden Administration, sense an opportunity to get on CNN and make a case that the Trump Administration is not as competent as the one that they served in. That’s where we pick up with Mayor Pete, the former Secretary of Transportation, who had this gem of a tweet.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of f***** imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Such language, Pete.

Surely, the pace of the construction of charging stations will pick up, but the slowness out of the gate is a symptom of the folly of attempting to force a radical change in vehicular transportation via government fiat.

Buttigieg insists that “the EV revolution will happen with or without us,” yet it’s off to a sputtering start. It’s less a revolution than a shift in consumer preferences at the margins, especially at the high end of the market among people who can afford to make their second or third car an electric vehicle.

Hello, Pete?

So while Pete is worried about the current group in the White House keeping America safe, we know what his track record and the Biden team’s track record were, not only with the Ohio incident but also with border security and the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

When he puts his mind to it, he can actually do the right thing.
