During his interview on ABC, Biden was asked by David Muir if he has spoken to the mayor of East Palestine, OH and Biden said he couldn’t ‘recall’ if he had spoken to him.

You would think that would be a pretty important phone call and that if Biden had spoken to the mayor over the last two weeks he would remember the conversation.

This is a perfect metaphor for the Biden administration’s response to the disaster.

Breitbart News reports:

Biden: ‘Can’t Recall’ if and ‘Don’t Think’ I’ve Talked to East Palestine Mayor, ‘I’ve Talked to Everyone There Is to Talk to’

During a portion of an interview aired on Friday’s edition of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” President Joe Biden stated that he “can’t recall” if he’s talked to the mayor of East Palestine, Ohio and doesn’t think he has, but he’s “talked to everyone there is to talk to,” and responded to questioning on whether he has any plans to visit by stating that he’s “made it clear that everything is available.”

Host David Muir asked, “It’s been three weeks now since the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, as you know. The mayor says he saw you in Ukraine and he says, it tells you he doesn’t care about us. They’re asking, is the President coming to Ohio? Do you have any plan to travel to Ohio, and have you talked with the mayor yet?”

Biden answered, “Let’s put this in perspective, within two hours of that derailment, the EPA was in there, within two hours. Every major agency in the United States government that’s had anything to do with rail and/or cleanup was there and is there.

In Biden’s defense, he probably doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast this morning.

One of the first things Sarah Huckabee Sanders is doing as governor of Arkansas is pushing through much needed education reforms for the state.

Democrats oppose the reforms because they don’t support school choice. They oppose her even though she is increasing teacher pay to make the state more competitive.

This is a huge accomplishment for any governor, but especially a new one.

ABC News reports:

Despite opposition, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders the latest Republican to push ‘school choice’

Like other Republican governors, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is making school choice a high-profile political issue, declaring education reform her “top priority” and first big legislative play since taking office in January.

It’s facing pushback from public school educators and some parents — but Sanders is relishing the fight.

Thirteen days after painting her plan with broad strokes in the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union, Sanders unveiled the text of her much-touted omnibus education reform bill this week. While supporters applaud Republican lawmakers for quickly taking it up, critics are concerned the bill — carrying massive implications on the state’s education system — is being “ramrodded” through the legislature, despite students’ best interests.

“This will be the biggest overhaul in education, I think, anywhere in the country — certainly in my home state of Arkansas — and we look forward to setting the standard on how this can be done right and being a blueprint for other states across the country to follow,” Sanders said in an interview Tuesday on Fox News, dismissing opposition as “the left mad that they’re losing control of the system.”

Sanders recently discussed the reforms on FOX News. Watch:

It is wrong to trap kids in failing schools and sentence them to a lifetime of poverty. 
 
We will educate, not indoctrinate our kids, empower parents to choose the school that’s best for their family, and put students on a path to prosperity, not government dependency. pic.twitter.com/Uk1LheYm4y

Sanders is going to be a very effective governor for Arkansas.
