'OK, Take Us To A Different Leader,' Say Exasperated Aliens After Trying To Communicate With Joe Biden

'OK, Take Us To A Different Leader,' Say Exasperated Aliens After Trying To Communicate With Joe Biden

WASHINGTON, DC — An envoy of extraterrestrial beings stifled their frustration and asked to be taken to a different leader after their initial meeting with President Joe Biden left them confused and exasperated, sources say.
"I guess he's not the leader they were expecting," said an insider who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "It was the classic sci-fi movie scenario, with the aliens arriving and telling us, ‘Take us to your leader.' We quickly set up a meeting with President Biden, and things went downhill from there."
"The aliens were already asking why we kept shooting down their peace offering balloons containing Hickory Farms cheese and sausage gift baskets," disclosed another source present at the meeting. "But I guess it really started to get bad when the lead alien put out his hand to greet the President, and Joe bent down and bit the creature's finger."
Reports indicate that relations between the two sides only grew worse after the President began speaking. "The best we can tell, Joe had one of his typical verbal gaffes," the source said. "He said something that was totally unintelligible to us, but apparently, it sounded like some sort of horrible slur in the aliens' language. The aliens were offended, voices were raised, Joe may have messed his pants…it was a train wreck. Err, sorry, poor choice of words."
At publishing time, the aliens were reportedly already asking to be taken to a third leader after only spending 5 minutes trying to talk to Kamala Harris.

Another Clinton connection mysteriously 'killed'....Suicide, really?...

...

Arkansas cops rule suicide in death of Clinton aide linked to Jeffrey Epstein - who was found shot and tied to a tree with an electrical cord around his neck - despite no sign of weapon

Mystery surrounds death of Clinton aide linked to Epstein - where's the gun?
Bill Clinton's special advisor Mark Middleton, who signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven times, killed himself, according to a police report released nine months after his death. Middleton was found with a gunshot wound to his chest and an extension cord tied around his neck and attached to a tree. But the sheriff's report into Mark Middleton's death raises more questions than answers as it shows his death was ruled a suicide - but the weapon that killed him was nowhere to be found. His body and SUV were found at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas. Middleton, 59, a married father of daughters aged 18 and 20 was found dead on May 7 last year.

IRS 'is developing new Biden-backed algorithm that'll see more white and Asian people targeted for tax audits to boost racial "equity"'

The America First Legal Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to fight executive overreach, filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Tuesday claiming that an executive order President Biden signed last week encourages the IRS to alter its algorithms to audit more white and Asian taxpayers — and fewer black taxpayers.

Though the Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government does not specifically mention audits, it directs federal agencies — including the IRS — to find ways to make their practices more 'equitable' to underserved communities.

Specifically, the order directs agencies to 'prevent and remedy discrimination, including by protecting the public from algorithmic discrimination.'

America First Legal Foundation is now investigating how that could affect the IRS, seeking internal documents from the agency referring to its efforts to improve 'equity' amongst Americans.

Under federal law, the Treasury Department now has just 20 business days to respond to the request.

Estimated animal death toll from Ohio train derailment tops 43,700 as time frame for environmental recovery remains uncertain, officials say

Last week, officials said they believed that the Ohio train derailment had killed 3,500 aquatic animals. On Thursday, they provided a new estimate, pushing the total to more than 43,700 animals within a 5-mile area.

Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said on Thursday that the new estimate comes amid updated calculations.

When ODNR officials first responded to the Feb. 3 train derailment, she said they were informed by the Ohio EPA that it was "too dangerous to enter the water without specialized gear and the proper equipment." That led to them ultimately relying on an environmental consultant group, EnviroScience, that was on-site and had such tools to survey the waterways.

Over the course of two days, from Feb. 6-7, that group collected samples at four different sites. During that time, 2,938 dead aquatic animals were found, 2,200 of which were small minnows, with the remaining animals being fish, amphibians and invertebrates.

Based on that sample size, officials were able to calculate the total aquatic animal death toll within the 7.5-mile ara that was impacted by the train derailment. Those calculations show a significantly higher toll than what was originally sampled.

According to Mertz, the newest estimates show that roughly 38,222 small fish were potentially killed as a result of the derailment, as well as an additional 5,500 other species of fish, amphibians and other creatures. The areas included in those estimates include Sulphur Run, Leslie Run, Bull Creek and North Fork Little Beaver Creek. All of those animals are believed to have died "immediately after the derailment," Mertz said, and none are believed to be members of endangered or threatened species.

Michigan, Texas officials unaware Ohio contaminated soil, water, taken to their areas: 'We were sandbagged'

Officials from Texas and Michigan say they were unaware that soil and water from the site of the East Palestine, Ohio, freight train derailment was being taken to their areas.

A Norfolk Southern train with 50 rail cars, 10 of which were carrying vinyl chloride, derailed in East Palestine on Feb. 3. The derailment caused hazardous chemicals to spill onto the ground and sent a plume of smoke into the air.

Days after the derailment, officials conducted a controlled release of chemicals to avoid the risk of an explosion. Residents were evacuated before officials conducted the release, but have since been allowed back.

Wastewater and soil from the site of the derailment was taken to hazardous waste companies in both Texas and Michigan, and some officials claim that they didn't get any notice.

A spokesperson for the Environmental Protection agency told Fox News Digital that Norfolk Southern was in charge of the disposal of waste from the East Palestine derailment, adding that "The company supplied Ohio EPA with their list of selected and utilized disposal facilities on February 23."

The spokesperson said that waste shipments from the East Palestine derailment site is now on pause.

He's an idiot for running his mouth gratuitously but he may be referring to the blatant media double standard. All depends on who is running their mouth. If I got up in front of ANY group of black people and said 'I might be a white boy but I'm not stupid' how would that go over? Yeah, right.

The Left, exactly whoever the hell that is, weaponized everything they could possibly get their hands on to get rid of Trump. The **** is coming out in the wash about covid. I just read that all the ventilators and equipment in NYC that went unused got sold for pennies on the dollar and that the Cuomo admin made sure that the USS Comfort and the Javitz Center were underutilized. BLM, rioting in the streets, rampant crime, talk of reparations, all that chaos and Woke BS was to get rid of DT. I doubt MLK would look favorably at what's going on.

Point is, racism is all fine and well and accepted when directed at whites. It's blatant and much more up front than I remember. Which is what I think he was saying. Shot himself in the foot though.

'It's a hollowed out shell': Portland business owners say they're fleeing crime-ridden Dem-led city en masse after it turned from the 'crown jewel of the West Coast' into criminal-run city

Portland business owners say they're fleeing city en masse due to crime

Once hailed for its trendy art and food scenes, The City of Roses has been in peril since 2020, largely due to efforts to defund police and lax bail reform laws that leave little to no deterrent for increasingly brazen criminals. The city is also in the midst of a homeless crisis that has confounded local officials, with several stores forced to permanently shutter due to break-ins now common due to rampant crime, making the businesses no longer financially viable.

Local leaders are now sharing their strategies for solving the crime and livability issues, as they threaten to spill over into bordering Washington and Clackamas counties, where the court of public opinion is generally more conservative. That said, crime appears to be tapering off in those main counties, which along with Multnomah County, comprises the Portland Metro area. Crime in Multnomah County, a more populated, progressive region, increased 9 percent last year amid its county seat Portland's continued crime woes, causing public safety officials in different parts of Washington to decry the city's sad state.

Now CLEAN-UP workers at East Palestine toxic train derailment site are falling sick with 'migraines and nausea' - as scandal-hit boss of rail firm prepares for Senate face-off

The revelation came in the form of a letter from labor leaders to the White House and Ohio's governor on Wednesday that claimed workers may have been willingly exposed to the direction of Norfolk Southern, the company that owns the derailed freighter. Within hours, the letter led to a meeting between the presidents of the aforementioned union heads and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in Washington Wednesday to discuss the February 3 derailment - and its potential repercussions. Officials confirmed Thursday that the meeting centered around potential improvements to rail safety, as well as the 40 workers ordered to the clean-up site in East Palestine, Ohio, last month, and their aforementioned symptoms. Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw, inset, is set to face a Senate hearing next week.

Shelter in place order issued as ANOTHER Norfolk Southern trail derails with 'hazmat crew on scene' of pileup in Springfield, Ohio

A Norfolk Southern train was derailed in Ohio on Saturday, just two days after the scandal-hit firm's CEO failed to show up to a meeting to discuss another fiery crash last month.

More than 1,500 Clark County residents were left without power after the derailment and locals within 1,000-feet of the scene were told to shelter in place 'out of an abundance of caution,' officials said.

The freight railroad company claims there were no hazardous materials involved - but first responders and emergency officials remain on scene to 'confirm their report.'

Nobody is thought to have been injured and no evacuation orders have yet been made. Hazmat crews are said to be on the scene.

Ohio governor Mike DeWine told his Twitter followers on Saturday night that 'we don't believe hazardous materials were on-board.'
