Pete Buttigieg – American Conservative Movement https://americanconservativemovement.com American exceptionalism isn't dead. It just needs to be embraced.

He wasn’t speaking about the need for racial equity in America’s highways or woke activism in the FAA, but he attempted to persuade the internet that “crime is down.”

What a ‘weird’ topic for Buttigieg to discuss with X users, given his job is ensuring America’s trains, planes, and automobiles operate smoothly. This might signal the Biden-Harris administration’s frustration with their propaganda blitz to convince Americans that ‘cities are safe’ is not sticking. We all know this is bullshit, as the administration points to ‘FBI crime statistics,’ essentially telling folks ‘don’t believe what yous see.’

Americans are wise enough to detect White House propaganda in leftist corporate media. Hence, Buttigieg’s X post was ratioed.

Given all of this, the latest indication America is quickly sleepwalking into a major disaster – and we’re not talking about the conflicts in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or the potential war in the South China Sea – comes from Texas.

“Last week, DPS Special Agents assigned to the San Antonio TAG arrested not one, but two Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members during a traffic stop in San Antonio. The San Antonio Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) were also involved. The two men were detained at the request of HSI and eventually transported to a federal detention center,” the Texas Department of Public Safety wrote on X on Wednesday.

Texas DPS warned, “DPS is seeing TdA activity happening across the state. (The below shows just a small sampling of the activity that has been previously recorded.)” 

TdA gang activity has become such a concern in the state that borders Mexico that Texas DPS has offered monetary rewards for the arrest of illegal alien gang members.

The latest figures from the US Army in a leaked report show at least 5,000 TdA illegal aliens have invaded the nation in recent years during open border policies pushed by the Biden-Harris administration.

TdA is the same gang that poured into the northern Denver suburb of Aurora, gaining national attention in recent months after armed illegal aliens seized apartment buildings.

Back in Texas, the situation is so dire that oil/gas companies have warned illegal alien gangs are now jeopardizing critical energy infrastructure.

Given the US Army only provided an estimate of how many TdA members are in the US, the figure could be much higher since the Biden-Harris team rolled out the red carpet to ten-plus million illegal aliens.

At Trump’s rally on Monday, a Charleroi, PA. trucker named Ernie addressed thousands in the crowd, delivering a “dire warning to every American” that flooding the nation with unvetted illegal aliens is a “nation-killing practice.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been the living personification of a debacle, and that was BEFORE the U.S. infrastructure started falling apart under his watch.

Investigative reporter Jennie Taer from the Daily Caller News Foundation caught up with Buttigieg as he was on his way for a night out on the town. She asked basic questions about the Secretary’s response to the East Palestine ecological disaster, to which Buttigieg refused to respond. Instead, he asked to take the reporter’s picture, assumably to put her on a list of “undesirables” for the Deep State to monitor.

Watch:

While this guy’s out having fun, there are lives being destroyed across America in his wake. As bad as the Biden-Harris regime has been for this nation, Pete Buttigieg stands out as exceptionally destructive.

The Feb. 10 letter from the EPA to Norfolk Southern notes “multiple rail cars and tankers were observed derailed, breached, and/or on fire.”

Coverage of the incident has mainly stressed the presence of vinyl chloride, a chemical used to make PVC pipes and other products. The National Cancer Institute notes that vinyl chloride has been linked to cancers of the brain, lungs, blood, lymphatic system, and, in particular, the liver.

Yet, the EPA’s letter mentions other potentially hazardous chemicals in those derailed tankers.

Specifically, it notes the presence of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate, isobutylene, and butyl acrylate.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s online chemical database notes that the chemical solvent ethylene glycol monobutyl ether “can cause serious or permanent injury.”

“Ingestion or skin contact causes headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,” the website states regarding the chemical, which is found in many household products.

The same chemical database notes that 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, which is used to make paints and plastics for things like contact lenses, “can cause significant irritation” and may be explosive at high temperatures.

It states that isobutylene, a liquified gas used to make aviation fuel, can incapacitate and, in some circumstances, asphyxiate those exposed to it.

Butyl acrylate, meanwhile, is described in that database as potentially a source of serious or permanent injury and a relatively unstable substance. It is used in making things like paints, sealants, and adhesives.

The Epoch Times has asked the EPA for more detail on the potential environmental and human health risks posed by the chemicals involved in the derailment.

Norfolk Southern Responds

“Norfolk Southern received the EPA’s letter and we have confirmed to them that we have and will continue to perform or finance environmental monitoring and remediation. Our hazmat team was in East Palestine within an hour of the incident, and the response continues today in close coordination with the Ohio and U.S. EPA, NTSB [National Transportation and Safety Board], and other federal, state, and local agencies,” a spokesperson for Norfolk Southern told The Epoch Times in a Feb. 13 email.

The spokesperson directed The Epoch Times to the NTSB for any comments on the causes of the crash.

The latest details from that agency came Feb. 6, through an announcement that it had launched an investigation into the derailment.

“Additional information will be issued when available,” the NTSB told The Epoch Times in a Feb. 13 email.

While some online influencers have said Norfolk Southern paid only $25,000 to the town of East Palestine, the company’s spokesperson said that sum was just an initial donation to the Red Cross to establish a shelter at East Palestine High School.

“In total, more than $1 million has been distributed directly to families to cover costs related to the evacuation,” a Feb. 13 press release from the company states.

EPA’s letter describes Norfolk Southern as potentially liable under the federal government’s Superfund law.

It wouldn’t be the first Norfolk Southern derailment site to end up under that regime.

One derailment in Decatur, Alabama, involved the contaminant hydrofluoric acid, a chemical that can be deadly if inhaled in large quantities.

Local Waterways

The EPA’s letter states that “materials related to the incident” were seen flowing into storm drains.

Chemicals released during the event have also been detected in various local waterways, including the Ohio River, according to the letter.

The Ohio River watershed is home to 25 million people and spans parts of 14 states. The river ultimately empties into the Mississippi River.

West Virginia American Water has not detected any changes to water in portions of the Ohio River that it monitors, as reported by WCHS.

Buttigieg Under Fire

The derailment has provoked strong rhetoric from lawmakers, some of whom have blamed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, formerly a McKinsey consultant and mayor of a college town in Indiana.

“This is another transportation failure under Mayor Pete’s leadership. Where is he?” asked Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) in a Feb. 13 post on Twitter.

Buttigeg did not mention the incident while delivering remarks on Feb. 13 while speaking at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference.

He did, however, mention the threat from “balloons,” drawing laughter from his audience.

The Epoch Times has reached out to the EPA for additional comment.
