Earlier this week, President Joe Biden welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House, where he expressed his appreciation and support for the foreign leader. The two also spoke at the United Nations. Both leaders made remarks before AND After extended bilateral meeting and people notice the care and concern Biden showed for Zelensky in every place in the United States, from East Palestine to Maui, has been forgotten in the wake of the tragedies that have struck these communities.
“Together with our partners in Ukraine, we have provided humanitarian assistance and tens of millions of people with food, clean water and much more,” Biden told Zelensky, adding that “we have begun the process of formalizing our long-term long-term commitment to Ukraine’s security with the G7 and other partners “.

Americans are suffering in Lahaina, East Palestine, and now Eagle Pass has issued an emergency declaration as thousands of migrants from around the world have invaded their border town.
We are $33 trillion in debt.
The only thing American leaders should be talking to Zelensky about…— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) September 21, 2023
Although Biden did eventually visit Maui, he did so nearly two weeks after wild fires raged there last month. He was on vacation at the time and replied: “no comment” when asked about it by the press. Even as he lay on the ground, his presence wasn’t entirely helpful as he was greeted with incensed signs from the residents, which ended with him mispronouncing people’s names in an attempt to make contact while telling a wildly embellished story about how his house experienced a fire several dozen years ago and even seemed to fall asleep.
There was so much unknown and secret information, including how many children died in the fires.
East Palestine, however, has been treated even worse, given that Biden still has not visited Palestine in the nearly eight months since the train derailment. It’s a visit he keeps putting off, and even he admits he’s been putting it off.
Assessing the devastation in Florida caused by Hurricane Idalia earlier this month, Biden said there was “a lot going on here and I just can’t get over it.”
That’s how long it took Biden to appoint a federal response coordinator, which is what he did on Wednesday in an executive order titled “Executive Order to Ensure the Protection of the People of East Palestine Now and in the Future”, something he could and should have delivered months ago.
People are afraid to return to their homes, especially to take their children with them, because of the toxic water and cases of illness among people who are too close to the area. The Biden administration’s sluggish action by the EPA has prevented residents from returning home safely.
Among those leading the fight to speak out on behalf of the people of East Palestine, as well as asking essential questions about aid to Ukraine, was Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). The freshman senator rose to the present by co-sponsoring bipartisan legislation shortly after the derailment, Railway Safety Act. Last month, Vance also called the administration’s response “inexcusable.” in an article for Sending Columbus. Throughout it all, the senator continued to assure residents that he supported them.
“As long as necessary” is not the real answer.
Biden is really trying to drag us into an indefinite war. It’s time for Republicans to unite and say no. https://t.co/6WmNdZ5rSk

Yesterday, at a secret briefing on Ukraine, it became clear that America was being asked to finance an unlimited conflict for an indefinite period of time.
Enough. To these and future requests, my colleagues and I say: NO. pic.twitter.com/mCMh604UGp

Zelensky also visited D.C. to meet with members of Congress and the White House in the midst of spending disputes as the government may be heading toward a shutdown. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) announced the date of Zelensky’s visit.
He not only explained that “there is no money in the chamber,” but also indicated that “honestly, it’s not a good time for him to be here.” He also explained that “what happened with Ukraine is, frankly, the fault of Joe Biden’s leadership, let’s be clear about that and let’s not put it on the backs of the American people.”
“If we had a Commander-in-Chief who knew how to lead and not slumber, we would be in a much better position when it comes to Ukraine,” Donalds added.
As it turns out, even if there was a suspension of government activity, Ukrainian aid would be provided will be firedas our sister site Twitchy reported, highlighting some of the righteous indignation.
