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?

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
