Three years ago, the small town of East Palestine, Ohio became ground zero for one of the most devastating environmental disasters in recent memory—and a perfect example of how the Biden regime abandoned everyday Americans when they needed help most.
While President Biden was nowhere to be found after the toxic Norfolk Southern train derailment in February 2023, Donald Trump showed up with thousands of water bottles and a clear message: these hardworking Americans deserved better than the pathetic federal response they were getting.
"In too many cases, your goodness and perseverance have been met with indifference and even disdain from the ruling class in Washington," Trump told the anxious citizens who had been left to fend for themselves as toxic chemicals poisoned their air and water.
Now, as Trump begins his second term, the fight for meaningful railway safety legislation continues to chug along at a snail's pace. Rep. Emilia Sykes recently introduced new railway safety legislation, but patriots are rightfully asking: where was this urgency when families were actually suffering?
"Rep. Emilia Sykes introduces new railway safety bill 3 years after East Palestine derailment," reported @wosunews on social media, highlighting how politicians love to grandstand after the damage is done.
The corporate-government revolving door that has plagued railway regulation for decades remains intact. As one social media user noted, "Faced with a standoff due to the government's involvement, the corporate executives in the Association of Railway Executives finally agreed in 1926 to accept legislation creating a government mediation board." Nearly 100 years later, we're still fighting the same battles against corporate cronies and their government enablers.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump showed up when it mattered, bringing real help and promising real solutions. Biden? He was too busy pushing his radical climate agenda to care about actual environmental disasters happening in his own backyard.
As the Trump-Vance administration takes charge, will we finally see the railway safety reforms that East Palestine families have been demanding? Or will the swamp creatures continue protecting their corporate buddies while Americans pay the price?
