In the days following the train derailment and the environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, many were wondering why the Biden administration virtually ignored the incident and sent no relief or support. Not even the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was sent to East Palestine.
Well, it looks like FEMA is finally getting involved.
“FEMA and the State of Ohio have been in constant contact regarding emergency operations in East Palestine. U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA have been working together since day one,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and FEMA regional administrator Thomas Sivak said in a joint statement on Friday. “Tomorrow, FEMA will supplement federal efforts by deploying a Senior Response Official along with a Regional Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) to support ongoing operations, including incident coordination and ongoing assessments of potential long-term recovery needs.”
Support from FEMA had been refused just a day earlier. “The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however, FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time,” DeWine’s office said in a statement Thursday.
So, what happened on Friday that changed everything? Oh, I dunno, but I can’t help but wonder if it had something to do with the fact that on Friday, it was announced that Donald Trump would be traveling to East Palestine next week to meet with members of the community.
In fact, it was about two hours after Fox News first reported that Trump was going to visit the impacted town that FEMA announced it was going to start sending help.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has been caught on camera waving a Chinese flag and marching next to a Chinese Communist Party official.
If this had happened 10 years ago, we could have dismissed it as typical leftist idiocy, like wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt or hanging a picture of Karl Marx in her office.
But this happened on Feb. 12, 2023 — just a week after the U.S. shot down a Chinese spy balloon.
Hochul was joined on stage by Chinese consul general Huang Ping, a CCP hard-liner who has strongly defended the Chinese government’s mass atrocities against Uyghurs and support for China’s claims to sovereignty over Taiwan.
Yet none of this has made Huang a persona non grata in Albany or Manhattan. Huang and Hochul have met repeatedly, stretching back to 2019, during Hochul’s tenure as lieutenant governor of New York. In 2021, Huang called Hochul his “old friend” in a Facebook post.
In addition to her long-standing collaboration with Huang, Hochul has also engaged with the China General Chamber of Commerce, which reportedly has ties to the United Front Work Department, a sprawling party apparatus that engages in political influence and interference work in China and overseas.Among the individuals on the association’s board of directors is an executive with Hikvision — a Chinese surveillance firm sanctioned by the U.S. over its key role in the Xinjiang atrocities and in China’s military buildup.
Also joining Hochul in palling it up with Huang was radical Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Sen. Chuck Schumer, and Mayor Eric Adams. None of the speakers bothered to mention the uncomfortable reality of the spy balloon being shot down, the genocide of the Uyghurs, or that the Chinese government opened a police station smack in the middle of New York City’s historic Chinatown that the FBI raided and closed in 2022.
But Hochul thinks the U.S. and China are great friends.

Hochul referred to the U.S. and China’s “beautiful relationship” during a speech for the China General Chamber of Commerce in 2022. And while there is certainly some latitude given to politicians catering to an important constituency like New York Chinese, the effusiveness of Hochul and other New York Democrats in their praise and toleration of the Chinese Communist government borders on sycophancy.
They never quite seem to “speak truth to power” to their friends, do they?
