Keeps getting better.

Typical Biden kangaroo court. Start your own thread for anti-Trump. This one is about Trump wins.

The drug trafficker was responsible for transporting 400 tons into the United States.  You can buy your freedom if the price is right.   Trump is acting like a mob boss.  

Do you have a poll verifying that?

Go back and look at the posts. One need only read what’s there. You were posting about the Honduran guy being a drug trafficker. LRF challenged you to produce a poll. You said the files hadn’t been released. I asked “files”? Now you answer with Epstein material. You really jump around a lot. Let us know when msm produces something “new”.

Don’t remember DCT complaining about the economy when biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and coal plants, or when he shut the border wall construction down and allowed anyone to come in.

He’s very transparent, it’s all about Trump.

Polls are only good for stirring and debating.

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 (https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/us/trump-coal-miners-inspections-safety-invs).

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.

Environmental groups were simply smoke and mirrors. Where were they when these were constructed? Seems to me Americans know what needs to be done. EPA is a joke. America built all of these pipelines. Next time you gas up, thank a pipeliner.

You believe everything you read as long as it’s anti Trump, lol.

Your article, like most of yours, is complete nonsense.

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) (https://www.google.com/search?q=Volatile+Organic+CompoundsBenzene, 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.

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

I was born and raised here. Like I need you to tell me about chemical plants. Some people….lmao. Do you drive an EV? Then don’t complain. The topic was pipelines and how the Keystone was shut down by Biden, supposedly because they damage the environment. If they’re so bad, why are there an infinite number of pipelines. It was all designed to drive up gas prices and the demand (threats) to push EVs. Your president couldn’t tell you anything because he didn’t know his own name and someone else was running the show. No complaints from you.

First of all, again, these are not your words.  You need to state the source and give them credit.  Second, this is no doubt a really bias hit piece.  You can tell because of "environmental justice" part.  What the heck does that mean anyway?  All these supposed things that are being released into the air, "Daily Exposure: Residents report constant chemical odors, affecting daily life and increasing illness" I think was stated here, drive around any refinery and let us know if you smell anything.  Also if you see any flares blowing?  You might see a little fire but that's normal with no smell.

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.

Another funny face. How cute. Have you become senile? Did you catch a sniff of chemicals all the way in S.C.?
