Remember earlier this year when a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio? Remember the chemical spill and the burning oil cars and all that?
Good.
Now pay attention to this little tweet by a certain member of Congress.
Ah, Marjorie Taylor Greene, stomping her cloven hoof once again to blame Joe Biden for everything. As usual. I’m trying to remember when Joe Biden became President of the Norfolk Southern Railway.
I say this because …
Yesterday, three individuals settled with the Ohio Attorney General and agreed to pay a $50,000 fine and restitution for their participation in a scheme to operate a phony charity to allegedly benefit victims of the East Palestine train derailment. The story in Cleveland.com reports that the two men must pay $22,000 each to a local food bank, and $3,000 each to the Attorney General in penalties and fees.
This article on RawStory.com also elaborates on the situation. One of the men involved in the fraud scheme was Isaiah Wartman. Prior to creating the bullshit charity, Wartman previously worked as a campaign advisor and senior political consultant for … Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Oh, it gets better. Another one of the scammers involved in the fake charity, a guy named Luke Mahoney, was a campaign worker for … Elise Stefanik. That was also in the RawStory article.
There you go. Grifters gonna grift, thieves gonna thieve.
And I’m not saying that Marjorie Taylor Greene had her poisoned fingers in the till here … I’m not saying that …
But I AM saying that she’s got some seriously suspicious taste in the people she associates with.
And you ain’t off the hook either, Elise Stefanik.
Ugh.
They say when you lie with dogs, you get fleas. Empty-G, we know, is a fleabag. Elise, a traitor to much of the 518? Advancing her career by siding with the wrong kind of people is not a good idea.

Though competition is fierce within the Biden administration, I believe history will show the undisputed king / queen of hired governmental screw-ups to be Sam Brinton.
That was Biden’s hand-picked ‘deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition’ at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy – a fitting title, it turns out.
Hired in January 2022, despite vehement in-house opposition, “they” excelled at dress-up, makeup, stealing other people’s luggage / clothing, and creating troubling tabloid headlines.
This bizarre behavior was simply ignored / accepted until “they” were finally cut loose in December, after nearly a year on the books.
And you paid for it.
