A train just derailed in my city.

I took these pics from one of the local crime groups on Facebook. The guy who posted it said they’re leaking chemicals, but I’ve seen no confirmation of this. pic.twitter.com/Xyxmv04q4q

The train derailment in Springfield comes one month after East Palestine, which is on the other side of the state, experienced a catastrophic train derailment that was caused by an overheated wheel bearing on the 23rd of 149 rail cars. Local officials subsequently evacuated all residents within one mile of the accident and started a controlled burn of the vinyl chloride that the train was transporting in an effort to prevent a massive explosion from occurring.

Vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen used to manufacture PVC, was emitted from five train cars in the form of massive plumes of black smoke visible throughout eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

Researchers from Texas A&M and Carnegie Mellon said on Friday that nine of the approximately 50 chemicals that the EPA said were present on the derailed train have higher concentrations than normal in East Palestine. They were especially concerned with above-normal levels of acrolein, a substance with a pungent odor that is “highly toxic” when inhaled, according to a report from the CDC.

Other chemicals charted at abnormally high levels included benzene, naphthalene, and vinyl chloride. “If these levels continue, they may be of health concern,” the analysis said.

Michael Knowles Reveals What Conservatives Must Do To Defeat Radical Gender Theory During CPAC Speech

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles spoke Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland and detailed how conservatives can defeat radical gender theory, saying that conservatives should not compromise and meet the Left halfway.

Knowles began his speech by saying that President Joe Biden has “failed on every point” before moving on to discuss the issue of transgenderism.

“There can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. It is all or nothing. If transgenderism is true, if men really can become women, then it’s true for everybody of all ages. If transgenderism is false, as it is, if men really can’t become women, as they cannot, then it’s false for everybody, too,” Knowles said.

Knowles went on to say that the whole ideology of transgenderism should be “eradicated” from society, especially for the benefit of those people who have been harmed by it. He said that the problem with transgenderism was not just that it was “inappropriate” for children, but that it “wasn’t true.”

“The problem with transgenderism is that it puts forward a delusional vision of human nature that denies the reality and importance of sexual difference and complementarity. The problem with transgenderism is that its acceptance of any level necessarily entails the complete destruction of women’s bathrooms, women’s sports, all of the specific rights and spaces that women currently enjoy.”

Knowles also said that the issue of transgenderism was a relatively recent political phenomenon, noting how much society has shifted in the last several years in large part due to a small number of Left-wing activists.

“There is no meeting halfway between truth and falsehood, between reality and delusion. There’s no neutrality. We are either gaining ground or we are losing ground,” Knowles said. “Meeting the liberals halfway will always take us all the way down their road to perdition in the long run.”

He then said that conservatives had frequently “caved” on issues like feminism and marriage, paving the way for the transgender movement. Knowles contrasted that with the issue of abortion, where conservatives have seen success recently, especially with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Knowles concluded by saying that with moral courage, conservatives could fight back no matter the consequences or “passing fashions of the day.”
