‘It’s an Election Year’: East Palestine Resident Scorches Biden for Planned Visit to Toxic Train Derailment Site
An East Palestine, Ohio resident lambasted Joe Biden over news he was planning to finally visit a year after a toxic train derailment devastated the city.
DJ Yokley warned that Americans see “right through” Biden’s political motivations to visit the town given the presidential election is only nine months away.
“I don’t know if he’s going to be any more confused than we are of why he’s showing up a year later. We see everything he’s doing across different countries, but as American citizens, we understand that there’s nothing he’s done for us, nothing that his administration has done for us other than say ‘we’ll be coming, we’ll be coming,’” Yokley told Fox News on Wednesday.
“The American people have awakened to realize that the leader of our country did not show up to the greatest catastrophe of 2023.”
Watch the latest video at foxnews.com“Now he’s going to show up because it is an election year, and obviously, the polls show that President Trump came and supported us when he didn’t have to, and I think we saw right through it from the beginning,” he noted.
“I will support any president that serves our country because otherwise it’s like…rooting against your favorite team’s quarterback just to see the backup,” Yokley continued. “It’s a scenario where we know what he’s doing. The American people see it, and now it’s, hey, we have to go visit Palestine because we haven’t done that yet, and…check it off the books.”
A White House official announced Wednesday that Biden will finally visit East Palestine in February to commemorate the anniversary of the derailment disaster.
“In February, President Biden will travel to East Palestine, Ohio, to meet with residents impacted by the Norfolk Southern train derailment and assess the progress that his Administration has helped deliver in coordination with state and local leaders to protect the community and hold Norfolk Southern accountable,” the official said in a statement.
Biden received widespread criticism for ignoring East Palestine and failing to prioritize evacuations and public health measures as residents were reporting major health issues.

From CNN:
The incident caused a massive fire and prompted officials to evacuate hundreds of people who lived near the site because of fears that a hazardous, highly flammable material might ignite. To prevent a potentially deadly explosion, toxic vinyl chloride gas was vented and burned, releasing a plume of black smoke over the town for days.
Other chemicals of concern at the site include phosgene and hydrogen chloride, which are released when vinyl chloride breaks down; butyl acrylate; ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate; and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. All these chemicals can change when they break down or react with other things in the environment, creating a stew of potential toxins.
As Yokley mentioned, former President Donald Trump visited East Palestine just days after the toxic train derailment, even before Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg arrived.
“You are not forgotten,” Trump told the residents. “We stand with you, we pray for you, and we will stay with you in your fight for the accountability that you deserve.”
President Trump visits the people of East Palestine, Ohio and brings them water & supplies while Joe Biden only cares about pushing more war and US money in Ukraine.

Prepare for typical gaslighting by the Biden regime when he insists he did everything he can to help the small town during his visit next month and didn’t in fact ignore the crisis for an entire year.
Watch: Rep. Thomas Massie Confirms Person Who Found Pipe Bomb at DNC on Jan. 6th is CURRENT U.S. Capitol Officer
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) confirmed the person who discovered a pipe bomb at the DNC on January 6th is a current U.S. Capitol police officer, raising questions as to why police didn’t immediately respond to his report.
Rep. Massie made the revelation during an appearance on Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) Firebrand podcast Tuesday, saying he’d made the discovery earlier in the day.
“I learned that ‘backpack guy,’ January 6th backpack guy – not to be confused with January 5th backpack person – backpack guy was a non-uniformed, plain clothes police officer in… the employ of the Capitol Hill Police.”
Massie highlighted the absurdity that, even though the US Secret Service and DC Metro Police were alerted to the device by a fellow officer, they still waited up to four minutes before beginning their investigation of the device.

This revelation was confirmed to Rep. Massie today by Capitol Police.

“I’m trying to give [them] the benefit of the doubt when they took four minutes, you know, they finished their lunch before they went and dealt with this pipe bomb,” Massie said. “I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and think that, well, if it’s just some random passerby and he said, ‘Hey, there’s something shiny over there. Could be a lawn sprinkler, you know, not sure maybe want to check it out,’ but that’s not what it was. It was a person who was, they say – again when I relate this to you, I’m relating what the Capitol Police have told me – they say it was a Capitol police officer who found this bomb, and that he told them it was a bomb. And he radioed it in, said, we’ve got the device, we found another device.”
Footage released earlier this month by Rep. Massie showed police behaved bizarrely and appeared to lack urgency once informed of the bomb.

In my view this will end up demolishing the Regime’s J6 narrative and with it a major pillar of Dem’s 2024 strategy.

Massie’s revelations come as news broke Tuesday that the FBI blocked one of their surveillance teams investigating the pipe bomb incident from interviewing the suspect tied to the case, according to a former FBI agent.
Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin told the Daily Wire that his surveillance team used the security footage to track the suspect’s movements shortly after he placed the bombs.
Seraphin said he requested from FBI leadership permission to interview the suspect but was denied, and told to go after other J6 participants instead.
The pipe bomb narrative is one of the feds’ weakest links in the Jan. 6 situation and has the potential to expose criminal elements inside the Deep State that aimed to foment chaos that day, possibly in efforts to lay blame on a MAGA supporter.

FDA Inserts Don’t Lie: Colorado Ebola Psyop Exposed
The psyop to throw the public off the trail of the next engineered pandemic is very real.
A new bat lab is constructed in Ft. Collins, Colorado while Denver doctors are inoculated with a live Ebola vaccine.
The FDA inserts tell the real story in black and white that shedding occurred in one trial 31% of the time. Additionally, there is no data concerning how this would affect the immune-compromised. All of this as an unknown number of secret biolabs within the United States have failed numerous safety tests.
Man Who Destroyed Satanic Shrine In Iowa Capitol Charged With ‘Hate Crime’
A Christian veteran who decapitated a Satanic idol displayed in the Iowa State Capitol building has been charged with a “hate crime.”
Yes, really.
Michael Cassidy in December beheaded the Baphomet figure and destroyed the altar it rested upon after it had been installed by the Satanic Temple with the support of Democrat and Republican lawmakers.

“I saw this blasphemous statue and was outraged,” Cassidy told The Sentinel. “My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”

Rather than charge Cassidy with vandalism or damage to property, Polk County prosecutors charged the veteran with felony third-degree criminal mischief, arguing that the act was “in violation of individual rights” under Iowa’s hate crime statute.
“Evidence shows the defendant made statements to law enforcement and the public indicating he destroyed the property because of the victim’s religion,” triggering the violation of individual rights enhancement, said Lynn Hicks, a spokesman for the Polk County Attorney’s Office.
Hicks also said that based on information from the Satanic Temple, the cost to replace or repair the statue would be between $750 and $1,500, making its destruction an aggravated misdemeanor, but the hate crime statute elevated the crime to a felony.
Cassidy had argued that Satanic idols aren’t protected by the First Amendment because they’re not symbols of religions, but mockeries of religion.
“The world may tell Christians to submissively accept the legitimization of Satan, but none of the founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars inside Capitol buildings as protected by the First Amendment,” Cassidy had said. “Anti-Christian values have steadily been mainstreamed more and more in recent decades, and Christians have largely acted like the proverbial frog in the boiling pot of water.”
The Sentinel created a GiveSendGo for Cassidy to fund his legal bills, with over $100,000 of the $20,000 goal already reached as of this writing.
Notably, violent far-left activists who tore down numerous statues of American heroes like Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and others were never charged or held accountable for their crimes.
Violent activists tore down dozens of statues including Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. None were held accountable or charged with a hate crime.

This is the two-tiered justice system in action in Joe Biden’s America.
Tear down a Satanic shrine, get charged with a hate crime.
But viciously assault police officers in Times Square, get off scot-free.
