So, let’s talk about President Joe Biden’s visit to East Palestine, Ohio. The old man finally decided to show his face a whole year after a train derailment caused a massive fire, leaving the small village in shambles. The guy took his sweet time, and the people are not too happy about it.
Biden’s visit comes after folks started questioning if the lights are even on in the White House. Yeah, there’s been talk about his mental sharpness, or lack thereof. But hey, better late than never, right?
If he honestly thinks he is going to get votes out of this political stunt he is sadly mistaken. He will be relentlessly mocked and booed.
Finally: Biden to Deliver on Long-Promised Visit to East Palestine https://t.co/zmKuCCth7C via @BreitbartNews

The Environmental Protection Agency is still cleaning up the train wreck mess, and guess who’s paying for it? Not Biden, that’s for sure. It’s Norfolk Southern, the train company. But that’s not the point. The point is, the folks in East Palestine feel neglected and dissed by the president. Can you blame ’em?
Now, on the same day Biden comes sauntering into town, former President Donald Trump is holding a rally nearby. And let’s just say, it’s not a pro-Biden get-together. In fact, it’s being described as “anti-Biden.” The people there are not too keen on Biden’s belated visit, especially when they remember how Trump swooped in right after the accident, bought food for the local heroes, and made sure to show his support.
The residents are asking, “Where were you a year ago, Biden?” They’re feeling like his visit is just a cheap stunt to win some votes. And you know what? They’re not wrong.
But hold on, it gets better. Before Biden’s visit, some activists sent him a letter demanding a major disaster declaration for East Palestine, along with long-term health care for the residents, more environmental testing, and money to help people move out if they want to leave. Talk about laying down the law.
The whole thing is a political circus, and the real victims are the folks in East Palestine who feel like they’ve been left in the dust. You hate to see it. But hey, if Biden wants to play the game, he better be ready for the backlash.
