Joe Biden's administration has utterly failed East Palestine, OH

J.D. Vance isn't an absentee politician. He isn't shying away from providing leadership during a crisis. At a time when the Biden administration can't be found, except on Twitter, J.D. Vance is on the ground in East Palestine, OH and testing the water. (Apparently, that's something that the EPA isn't willing to do.)

In fact, J.D. Vance has issued a challenge to EPA Administrator Michael Regan to drink the water from the streams near the derailment site. That's a challenge Regan isn't likely to accept. Sen. Vance's challenge is serious. If the EPA has given the all-clear, which it did on their updates page, then EPA Administrator Regan should be willing to drink the water.

On their Palestine updates page, the EPA said "As of the evening of Feb. 15, EPA has completed screening 486 homes, with 14 scheduled for today. Test results from the village’s municipal well sampling showed no water quality concerns. Governor DeWine issued a press release stating the municipal water is safe to consume." Just watch the video short at the top of the page and tell me whether you think that water looks safe.

This sounds like good advice:

Check out Sen. Vance's 'investigation': This is what leadership looks like:
"My guidance to people is to continue to drink the bottled water. We don’t know," Vance said. "Look, people say that the air is clean. I would like to believe that that’s true. I also have been here for all of three hours, and it doesn’t smell great to me. Especially, when we first arrived. This morning I was immediately struck by the smell of the air. Thankfully, the air problem is a much shorter-term problem than the water problem."

"That is on the CDC. That is the government agency that really needs to focus on that," he added. "I talked to some folks in the state administration today who said they think the CDC is on top of this issue, but we need to stay on top of them because my office still hasn’t gotten a good answer on what thresholds are safe."

Ohio voters made the right choice this past November when they picked Vance over career politician Tim Ryan. Speaking of career politicians, Joe Biden has been thoroughly silent since the derailment. That happened on Feb. 3, 2023. Biden's State of the Union address was on Feb. 8, 2023. In that speech, Biden spoke about "the forgotten men." Not once did Biden mention the derailment or the shooting down of the China spy balloon.

How do you not talk about 2 catastrophic events like that in a speech seen by tens of millions of people? That's unforgivable. It's like the Biden administration is either hiding these incidents or they don't care about doing the right thing. What type of monster does that to hard-working people?

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
