On February 3, 2023, a large Norfolk Southern train loaded with toxic chemicals derailed near East Palestine, Ohio. The train carried vinyl chloride, a toxic chemical that was intentionally leaked into ditches and burned off. Vinyl chloride, and a byproduct, dioxin, are potent organ damaging and cancer causing substances. On February 17, a full two weeks later, the White House released the statement that “Since the derailment, HHS has been providing technical assistance to state and Federal partners on emergency response, emergency management, and scientific assessments of chemicals including risk communication. This has included participating in daily state-led emergency coordination calls to provide expert advice and analysis.”
The reality is that as of February 21, 2023 (18 days later), neither Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg nor President Biden have visited the crash site that resulted in the evacuation of a town of 5,000 and still has generated tremendous concerns for long term dangers to humans and animals due to vinyl chloride and more dangerous dioxin contamination of the area. The White House has refused to declare the site a disaster and release federal funding despite pleas from Ohio senators. Biden did, however, manage to visit Ukraine on February 20, a visit that mainstream media immediately hailed as heroic. During the visit he pledged $500M more in funding to Ukraine. As of February 21, 2023, the East Palestine mayor was pleading for a more appropriate federal response and for key federal leader visits. Was the overseas visit a diversion from his ongoing domestic failures in the US? Are funds and proper federal responses being denied because Ohio is a red state?
Buttigieg, ever the noble servant of the people that takes responsibility for his department’s policies, quickly blamed the crash on former President Trump, who had been out of office for over 2 years. Buttigieg claimed Trump’s Department of Transportation changed the rules for train brakes in 2018. If that were true and the crash occurred in the first week of Biden’s presidency, then perhaps that could be a topic worthy of discussion. But with Biden being President for over 2 years and having overturned so many of Trump’s actions in the first week for ‘environmental’ concerns, Buttigieg’s inaction on this concern he raises affirms either his incompetence and/or lack of concern for environmental threats and that he, like his President, use talk of protecting our environment merely for talking points and election votes. Recall in 2021 that Buttigieg was filmed getting his bike off of his security detail SUV to bike to a cabinet meeting. Whether or not it was staged, it highlights his half-hearted crusade for EVs. Why weren’t his security detail personnel driving EVs as well? Surely as Transportation Secretary he can order such ‘environmentally conscious’ vehicles to set a better example.
Recall President Biden’s swiftly prepared executive orders and memos signed on January 27, 2021 to highlight how quickly his administration must act to save the planet:
Tackling the Climate Crisis Home and Abroad Executive Order
Scientific Integrity Presidential Memorandum
Executive Order Establishing the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology
Recall that in August 2021, Biden signed the $1 Trillion infrastructure bill full of emergency clean energy spending. It was so important, that it took over 6 months to commit the first of the money to EV charging station funding.
Recall that as recently as 3Q 2022, Tesla accounted for 50% of the pure EV sales in the US, more than the next 15 brands combined. Tesla was not invited to the White House EV meetings until Biden had been in office for 15 months. Biden’s blatant failure to embrace the EV leviathan in US industry underscores his empty rhetoric about switching to EVs.
The cause that Biden and his party are wrecking the US economy for with reckless spending that has spawned crippling inflation is not one they believe in. The climate crisis is only present around voting time for trillion dollar spending bills. 18 days into a significant and medically worrisome chemical toxicity crisis in a small Ohio town in a Republican state, Biden’s environmental dream team has literally not even shown up.

Good honest reporting something which is greatly lacking in mam. Good on you, keep up the great work.
These people can no longer be called Human Beings. They have no soul and no conscience. These are all traits of a relationship with Satan. Satan is who they worship, and we just need to accept the truth. Going forward we will need to treat them as enemies of the State and act accordingly. There is none not even one that we can put our trust in until this war is over. Assume that every Representative and every Senator is dirty and can't be trusted. Given this, with everything that we do, it is with the utmost distrust, as we move to take legal action everyone involved must be vetted in the strongest way. I do trust JFK Jr. He's an honorable man. But whatever we do, it must be kept as quiet and low key as possible. There are those who are already, what I'm trying to say is that everything must be undercover. Don't do anything that would bring attention to yourself or put you in danger.
