The media is all done with the Ohio disaster, meanwhile, residents are being hospitalized for symptoms of chemical exposure and seeking treatment for strange rashes, respiratory problems and more.
Funny how the ‘eco party’ doesn’t give two cents when there is an actual environmental disaster.
Recently, Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance visited the site of a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio to push for the Biden administration to transport the toxic waste from the site to licensed facilities. For weeks, the toxic chemicals from the derailment have been contaminating the town, yet the Biden administration has failed to take any action.
Vance traveled to the site of the derailment and posted a video on Twitter of himself standing a safe distance from the mound of waste. In the video, he asked, “Why is this toxic mound of dirt still here in the first place? Thousands and thousands of pounds of it, the reason is because the Biden administration and the EPA is making it harder to get this stuff into licensed facilities where it can be properly disposed of.”
It’s an outright disgrace that the Biden administration has failed to take action to contain and remove the toxic waste from East Palestine. This situation is yet another example of the administration’s slow response to environmental issues. It’s also a reminder of how the media covers up for big money, as the toxic waste site in East Palestine has been largely ignored in the news.
Vance is standing up for East Palestine, and he’s not alone. There are many people who are doing their part to ensure the Biden administration properly addresses environmental issues in towns across the country. It’s time for the White House to show some leadership and take responsibility for the safety of our communities.
We must all work together to hold the Biden administration accountable and ensure the safety of our communities.

We need to make sure that the media is not covering up the full story and that the Biden administration is taking active steps to address environmental issues. It’s time for the Biden administration to step up and do their part in protecting our communities.
