In a Monday night interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, the mayor of East Palestine, OH, expressed disappointment in President Biden after learning about Biden’s trip to Ukraine. The President has yet to visit the site of the recent train derailment and resulting environmental disaster in the town of East Palestine.
Trent Conway joined the Fox News program, “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Monday night alongside East Palestine resident Lenny Glavin. The two men told Watters they had met with Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw and found him to be sincere in his pledges to help the community. They both indicated Shaw
A slap in my face, too, and I don't live in Palestine OH. There's the drooler on TV in Poland telling Ukrainians that he (we) will send aid...military components, food, shelter, anything they need. And guess what? Nothing...nothing for the people in Palestine OH. No help. No legit investigation of air, water, illness. Nothing. FEMA declared no help for Palestine OH. FEMA better check on the requirements...includes help for "man made" destruction...like trains carrying chemicals that go off track and explode and burn up a town on the way through. Count on this shameful actions to continue for as long as he's president. The real taking down of the USA.

Biden's unelected infestation of the White House is a slap in the face to the Republic.

In my lifetime, I can recall trainwrecks. Some of the involving toxic spills. Some of them with fatalities. At no point do I recall a President visiting a trainwreck. Or anybody demanding that it was necessary for a President to do so.
In effect, we are criticizing Biden for not doing a photo-op. We are outraged that a President isn't doing a photo-op? A bit of political theater? Most of us consider him a bumbling cipher with some degree of senility. Why would I care if a man I consider barely competent visits a trainwreck?

I know a POTUS visit would make things even tougher for E Palestine authorities, but this is a federal disaster involving multiple states: OH, PA, WV and possibly others. That he has sent no one from the WH while they are off globe trotting to that sinkhole, non-NATO country is an affront to all of us.
I can only speculate that if the community had been 'Democrat Minorities', he'd be down there with bells on.

#4 Probably because it sends a very un-nuanced message to Putin, especially as it happened the day before Putin was scheduled to address Russia.
If Putin thinks he can just out last the free world and he'll eventually get his way, Biden's visit just signaled to Putin and everyone else that isn't going to happen.

Americans are used to being slapped around, and why wouldn't they be? Under Joe Biden, we don't even have control of our own borders. Young Americans die every day because with open borders come poisonous illegal drugs and cartels. We have illegal aliens throwing away food and trashing fancy hotels provided by middle class taxpayers, while those same Americans are forced to buy groceries on credit cards that charge over 20% interest. What kind of "leadership" is that?
The way to evaluate Biden's values is to look at his priorities. Does anyone believe Biden invited unvetted, impoverished, uneducated illegal aliens to enter the US illegally because he thinks Americans will benefit from his "guests" invading their land? Who believes Democrats set aside baby formula for the children of illegal aliens, leaving American babies to go without, because American babies deserve to be second in line behind illegal aliens?
An aggressive Biden warned American restaurant workers to keep track of their tips to make sure they pay every cent of tax owed, but in Ukraine Biden promises to pay PENSIONS for Ukrainian workers??? Another misplaced Biden priority that hurts Americans.
When Donald Trump was elected, his promise was America First, and he kept it. There was never any desire on the part of Americans to be relegated to second class citizens on their own soil. The downgrading came from individuals least fit for representative government somehow managing to "win" an election.

Agree with the Mayor of East Palestine, and after seeing Patrick Murphy - a PA Democrat on Fox News, Murphy again reminds me why I never, ever will vote for a liberal.

I am sorry for what has happened to Ohio citizens with a train that had to know that for 20 miles bearings were on fire before the derailment, idiotically blamed on President Trump policies over 2 1/2 years ago? But remember the fallout during the worst of the intentional emissions descended on northern Pennsylvania and western New York through Syracuse and Rochester, referred to as bastions of stupidity.

#3 What has happened to the people of East Palestine, Ohio is much more serious than a train wreck, and the President of our country and his disaster specialists should have been there immediately to survey the wreckage and inform the people what would be done, had to be done, or could be done to make their well-kept community livable again. These people are terrified about the fall-out from a disaster for which they are not responsible. The people are scared because they have no conception as to how this "trainwreck" will affect their lives and their children's lives for decades to come. They deserve the respect of a visit from our President to let them know that the work has begun to give them hope for their future.

Fortunately for you, Mr. Mayor, you aren’t blackmailing the Skin Suit and all his colleagues, and your city hasn’t been the site of political graft and corruption for decades. I’m happy that the real POTUS visited you and brought your citizens some help.

The real president went to E. Palestine. That's what matters. A sitting president brings more problems than he solves for the people he pretends to serve.

#3 As they say, showing up is the most important part of doing a job. The residents of E. Palestine, Ohio are worried about ground contamination from the many toxic chemicals the freight trains (yes, many (5) not one) were transporting. And they are concerned that the government will pat them on their heads, say everything is o.k. and then they are left to deal with decades of Chernobyl type of fallout. Biden by going there could calm and comfort the citizens, and tell them what is being done to reduce ground and air contamination, so don't say, it's an every day occurrence, it's not!!
This spill is on the scale of the previous mentioned catastrophe of what happened in Russia. It's not an everyday train wreck!
We're not even addressing the air pollution by whoever ordered burning the toxic chemicals in the air! Who knows what will happen to the residents of nearby states that breathe that air. And Biden is pretending he has more important issues to deal with and not go to Ohio and comfort people? Ohio residents want to know he cares and by showing up, that demonstrates that. By Biden's actions, he doesn't know Americans! Or cares about them. Are they the ones he talked about when he made that demonic speech last year calling half of the country fascists?

"Dozens of rail cars, including 11 carrying toxic chemicals, derailed as the train passed through the town on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border." The first report was that 5 rail cars were carrying toxic chemicals, now it's 11?
What is the truth?

Mr President, we checked the voting machines and in '22, you got more votes from Kiev than from E Palestine.
