Scheller had posted a video to his Facebook page on Thursday stating: "People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, 'we messed this up.'"

The Story About Biden Checking His Watch During Dignified Transfer Just Got a Lot Worse by Leah Barkoukis

The Story About Biden Checking His Watch During Dignified Transfer Just Got a Lot Worse by Leah Barkoukis

"President Biden came under fire on Sunday after he was caught checking his watch during the dignified transfer of fallen U.S. service members killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport last week.

..."I actually leaned into my son's mother's ear and said 'I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time...' I found it to be the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen,” said the father of slain Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz...Read all.

In the face of an enduring shortage of computer chips, Toyota this month announced that it would slash its global production of cars by 40%. 

Factories around the world are limiting operations — despite powerful demand for their wares — because they cannot buy metal parts, plastics and other raw materials. 

...In Britain, the National Health Service recently advised that it must delay some blood tests because of a shortage of needed gear. 

A recent survey by the Confederation of British Industry found the worst shortages of parts in the history of the index, which started in 1977.
