AI Overview The complaint about chemical releases in Port Arthur, Texas, is most notably associated with Hilton Kelley, a prominent local environmental activist and a recipient of the Goldman Environmental Prize. Hilton Kelley, who returned to his hometown of Port Arthur in 2000, became a leader in the movement to address severe industrial pollution. His anti-pollution campaigns focused on documenting high levels of air contaminants and elevated rates of medical problems, such as asthma and cancer, among local residents living near facilities like the Motiva and Valero refineries and the Oxbow calcining plant. Key aspects of the complaints and related events involving "Kelly" or "Kelley" include: Citizen Air Monitoring: Hilton Kelley established the Community In-power and Development Association (CIDA) and trained residents to monitor air quality and log symptoms related to odors. He noted the irony of citizen monitors having equipment while Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) officials investigating complaints were empty-handed. Specific Incidents and Chemicals:Kelley has complained about specific releases, such as the Motiva refinery upset in 2003 which released tons of contaminants including hexane and butane. He also noted "six or seven flares going at one time" during pollution events in February 2021, emphasizing that "there is no safe amount of benzene for human exposure". Legal and Regulatory Action:Complaints led by community groups, including some possibly involving an attorney named Kelly Haragan, resulted in the EPA agreeing to investigate the Texas air regulator for alleged racial bias in its rulings related to the Oxbow plant. Health Impacts: Jenny Kelly, an administrative director at a local hospital, commented in 2024 on the respiratory issues and anxiety experienced by patients following a separate air release incident in nearby West Orange.

You said the EPA was a joke now your feelings are hurt.

He is not defending he is releasing drug cartels.

Your president would have you to believe it is Tylenol. 😂

This is what EPA says about the community you live in. Yes, chemical plants in Southeast Texas pose significant health hazards, with residents facing elevated risks from carcinogens like benzene and 1,3-butadiene due to frequent toxic releases, despite EPA regulations and state oversight; recent events and studies confirm ongoing issues with pollution, lack of enforcement, and disproportionate impacts on nearby communities, leading to calls for stronger action to protect public health. Key Health Concerns & Pollutants: • Carcinogens: Benzene, 1,3-butadiene, and ethylene oxide are common emissions, linked to leukemia, respiratory illnesses, and reproductive issues. • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) ([Hidden Content], toluene, and others cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation. • Particulate Matter & Ozone Toxic smog from industrial activity leads to lung damage, aggravated asthma, and pneumonia. Regulatory & Enforcement Issues: • State vs. Federal: While the EPA sets standards, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has faced criticism for being less stringent, with some Texas standards allowing higher emissions. • Frequent Violations: Reports show daily unauthorized air pollution events in Texas, though penalties are infrequent. • Industry Influence: Critics point to industry influence over regulatory bodies, hindering effective oversight and enforcement. Impact on Communities: • Environmental Justice: Latinx communities, especially in areas like Houston's east side (Pasadena, Deer Park, Channelview), bear a disproportionate burden of toxic releases and related health problems. • Daily Exposure: Residents report constant chemical odors, affecting daily life and increasing illness. EPA is not a joke. Just ask your surrounding neighbors. I know it does not support the MAGA narrative.

While Donald Trump's policies aimed to boost coal, critics argue his administration hurt coal towns by cutting economic development programs, reducing health/safety enforcement for miners (increasing black lung risk), and failing to diversify economies away from a declining industry, leaving communities vulnerable despite rhetoric promising revival. His focus on propping up coal led to environmental rollback battles, but couldn't stop market decline, ultimately hurting long-term community stability. Arguments that Trump Hurt Coal Towns: • Budget Cuts: Proposed eliminating key federal programs supporting coal community economic and workforce development, harming areas already struggling. • Health & Safety Rollbacks: Reduced funding and paused rules (like silica dust) for agencies protecting miners, leading to concerns about rising black lung disease and miner safety. • Economic Vulnerability: His focus on coal failed to address long-term economic diversification, leaving towns dependent on a shrinking industry despite market realities. • Broken Promises: Despite promises to bring back coal jobs, the industry continued its decline, and miners faced increased health risks without adequate support, notes CNN ([Hidden Content]). Keystone had Environmental groups vehemently opposing Keystone XL due to risks of oil spills, potential contamination of water sources like the Ogallala Aquifer, and increased greenhouse gas emissions from extracting tar sands oil. Keystone pipeline was not safe for the environment and the original investors lost interest. The economy was heathy and thriving and groceries were affordable before MAGA.

All this fluff. Trump has the power to release the files. He owns Bondi, Patel pfeiffer and the Supreme Court. Trumps name all over the estate documents that allege he knew all along about what was going on. He allegedly spent a hour with a minor. Maybe they talked about Christmas. Are we relay protecting pedophiles that have hurt kids. Is this the same party who claims to protect unborn babies? What is Hollywood? Dems, MAGA, Hollywood, the deep state all need to be shown the door. Why is this about who looses big? We have a convicted felon in the White House so it’s not about who looses big. Like I said MAGA is not worried about kids only the vote. Thanks for finally admitting. Lets not forget Steve Bannon was Epsteins personal advisor allegedly.

Why is MAGA so blind and hateful? [Hidden Content]

Where’s the drugs? Simple question?

Where are the drugs? Example: December 6,2025 [Hidden Content]

It makes a lot of sense to just release drug traffickers because the DOJ was too harsh and trafficker were not being treated fair. Every CON man he has pardon wasn’t treated fair. Doesn’t matter that individuals were tried, found guilty and sentenced. He has released more CON men than any sitting president. Two men dangle from a boat then attempt to complete there mission because the drugs were safely on board even after being overturned during the initial strike. The initial strike split the boat in half and capsized the remains. For 41 minutes, the two individuals were seen struggling to stay afloat and waving as a U.S. aircraft flew overhead. How were they trying to complete their alleged drug mission into the U.S.?
