NYT Debunks Dem Claim: Trump’s Rollback
of a Rail Safety Rule Had ‘No Impact’
on Ohio Derailment

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 2/25/2023 9:36:12 AM

The New York Times acknowledged in a recent report that the Biden administration’s claims that former President Donald Trump’s administration was responsible for the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, due to it rolling back a rail safety rule was inaccurate. “The White House has pushed back on such criticism from Republicans, accusing both the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers of dismantling the Obama-era rail safety measures meant to prevent episodes like the East Palestine derailment,” the Times report said. “According to the website PolitiFact, a rail safety rule repealed as part of a broad regulatory rollback under the Trump administration would have had no impact

Trump's rail safety concerned only those rail cars carrying crude oil which had nothing to do with the derailment in Ohio. The derailment wasn't a brake issue, it was an issue with the wheel overheating and the operator of the train ignoring the warnings of the overheating.

It is not surprising that Butt Pete doesn't know the regulations he is quoting to blame 45 for the East Palestine derailment. After all, the Secretary of Transportation shouldn't know the regulations for transporting goods across America, right? Wrong. Butt Pete displayed his total ignorance and incompetence in East Palestine. Butt Pete is a walking Peter Principle. The only thing Butt Pete is capable of is fake lactation.

None of the actions taken by Donald Trump since he walked down that escalator so long ago has had a negative impact on the people of this country but the leftists keep lining them up and we keep knocking them down. When people say to me, "yeah, but the mean tweets..." I get the urge to start punching. The Demented Delaware Doofus does more damage in a week than Donald Trump ever did but most of the media still visualize clothes on the emperor.

If this totally incompetent, unqualified jerk had any shame at all he would stop his ‘blame Trump’ media tour immediately. He was no doubt fed this information by an equally unqualified political hack on his staff. He has no knowledge of his own to fall back on nor has he bothered to acquire any.

Since NYT has decided to debunk this claim I suppose this could possibly be reported in other newspapers around the country. My paper regards NYT as "gospel" ; most of what they choose to "report" comes from them. So there's a small hope in me that this info gets out to more people, especially to those who still regard NYT as "bastions of truth". Gullible as they are.

Did Mayor Buttegig look into the PVC pipe bomb found on railroad tracks in PA. Did mayor Buttigig check out the plane crash that killed 5 men in Arkansas at the Clinton airport. Four of the men were flying to Bedford Ohio to check out the reason for the explosion at the metals plant. Which has some connection to the Same train line that derailed in East Palestine. Oh that train just so happen to derail right over a drain that empty’s out into the Ohio river. Another minor detail. The pellets Shoujd have been drained from the cars instead of burned. The EPA decided to set the wrecked cars on fire. Oh. Those 4 men that were killed in the plane crash, were also suppose to travel to E Palenstien to check out chemicals in the environment there. All just coincidental.

Bottom line - PB and Joe have had over 2 years to fix a problem if it existed. Do not blame Trump for the big rail company's contributions to Joe's campaign that influenced Joe's decision on public safety vs his election desires. Big rail obviously does not care about public safety. Too many meetings behind closed doors between Joe and rail executives for it not to be suspicious. Was it not Jimmy Carter that de-regulated the rail system?

The electronically controlled braking rule was rescinded as a result of a review that began during the Obama administration. The review, a cost-benefit analysis, was mandated by law, and was only completed during the Trump administration. I haven't seen any allegation that the coast-benefit analysis was inaccurate. Even PB seems to acknowledge that revocation of the rule was driven by law, but he puts an anti-Trump spin on it by saying that Trump has failed to support changing the Obama-era law. Here's the story about the regulatory process: https://www.enotrans.org/article/dot-withdraws-ecp-brake-rule/

Now, this is how a nation takes care of a violent crime problem.

Ronna McDaniel’s pathetic bid to ‘unite’

Once again displaying her total obliviousness, Republican National Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced Sunday that 2024 presidential candidates will likely have to pledge to support the winner in the general election, or they’ll be kept out of the primary debates. Who cares? This is nothing but a lame attempt to paper over the party’s stark divisions over ex-President Donald Trump, one of three declared candidates so far. The simple fact is that many GOP voters won’t support him if he’s the nominee, and some of his voters likely won’t show for any other Republican.

Democrats in Minnesota have advanced a plan to give driver’s licenses to potentially 77,000 eligible illegal aliens. This week, the Democrat-controlled Minnesota state senate passed a bill in a 34-31 vote that will eliminate the legal residency requirement for obtaining a driver’s license in the state. Instead, illegal aliens would be able to secure licenses to legally drive vehicles. The bill will now head back to the Minnesota state house for approval. Gov. Tim Walz (D) has said he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The bill overturns a prior law signed by former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R). In California, one of the first states to pass such a law,

McDaniel said, “I will support the voters and who they choose as the nominee. As RNC chair, if I said I wouldn’t support the Republican nominee, I would be removed from office. I would be rightly removed. It would be part of our bylaws, and I would be checked out as RNC chair. Anyone getting on the Republican National Committee debate stage should be able to say, I will support the will of the voters and the eventually nominee of our party.”

Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill that would prevent drag shows from taking place on public property or in front of children. The bill classifies “male and female impersonators” as adult cabaret performers, while also banning “adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors.” The legislation, SB3, now makes its way to Republican Gov.

Chris Todd, R-Madison County, filed the bill, saying “this is a common sense child-safety bill.” The bill, which passed by a vote of 79 to 19, makes it illegal to host an “adult cabaret performance” in a location where children are present.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Energy Department has concluded that the COVID pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak. The conclusion is reportedly based on a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress. Many will be exploring why the scientific evidence of a lab leak was so slow to emerge from intelligence agencies. However, for my part, the most alarming aspect was the censorship, not the science. There will continue to be a debate over the origins of COVID-19, but now there will be a debate.

We know that the left is always looking for an opportunity to silence those who challenge their groupthink. Their target isn't only conservatives, but anybody who disagrees with their worldview even in the slightest possible way. They left lives in the hope that contrarians to their groupthink will either misspeak or express a nuanced and detailed idea that can be extracted, stripped of context, and made to appear bigoted. This gives them reason to mount a social media campaign and initiate cancelation.

The Covid-19 pandemic most likely originated from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report from the U.S. Energy Department. The report, which was included in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office, was recently provided to the White House and other lawmakers. Sources told the Wall Street Journal that the updated assessment from the Energy Department is the result of new intelligence. The Energy Department, which oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, made its judgment with “low confidence,” the Wall Street Journal reported. The assessment marks a change from 2021, when the department was undecided on how the virus originated.
