So, I understand RINOsaur Rick‘s newfound best friends Sleepy Joe, and Obama were in Flint yesterday. Must be some damn short memories in Michigan regarding all the aforementioned names.
Can’t even make the joke about wondering if the mouth breathers within the Democrat party see nazis under their bed at night ’cause Tlaib’s peeps overseas really would love to nuke Israel if they could. Anyhoo, let’s cut straight to the chase on this demented shit-disturber.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib said Saturday night that when she sees the statistics on COVID-19 in minority communities, she sees systemic racism — and when she hears a common term for heavily affected areas, she hears evasion.
“They call it hot spots,” she said during an online forum whose panelists included author and Harvard professor Dr. Cornel West and U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley. “You mean the African American communities. I want them to call it that.”
….
“A lot of folks are acting so surprised” about the high death rates, West said, but “it’s true in Detroit, it’s true in Wisconsin, it’s true in Chicago, across the board.”
Washington — Michigan officials have provided congressional investigators with tens of thousands of documents related to the Flint water crisis since the start of the year.
The office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is continuing to work “cooperatively” with the House Oversight and Reform Committee to produce the documents that the panel requested, Nessel spokesman Dan Olsen said this week.
“Our office has already supplied the committee with tens of thousands of pages of documents, and we are diligently working to send the rest,” Olsen said.
Olsen added that, while some of the records provided to the committee have been submitted previously, “most of these pages of documents are new.”
The Attorney General’s Office is sending the documents in response to Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who in late December wrote to then-Gov. Rick Snyder asking he “fully comply” with the committee’s 2016 bipartisan request for documents related to the water crisis.
Well, there is a lesson to be learned in all this.
Governor Snyder Continues to Demonstrate The Finesse Which Made Gateway Great
Governor Snyder announced the remaining members of the Flint Water Interagency Coordinating Committee today. No chemists. Not one person with a chemistry degree. Undoubtedly, a fine collection of worthy government officials. Four ‘field experts’, none of whom are chemists. Medical doctors are not chemists. Public health administrators are not chemists. Civil engineers are not chemists. Materials scientists are not chemists. Chemists are chemists. Chemists know things:
The lead in Flint drinking water is, at its core, an issue of water chemistry. Water chemistry was allowed to go completely berserk at the Flint Water Treatment Plant for 18 months. Flint’s distribution system has been severely damaged. Fixing that damaged distribution piping is a venture into uncharted territory. Only an inorganic chemist with a command of thermodynamics, kinetics, pH, ICP-OES analysis, and the equilibrium of redox reactions will successfully navigate this uncharted territory. Not another lying MDEQ clown, either. They had their shot and blew it. Why the Flint Water Interagency Coordinating Committee is necessary in the first place.

No one will trust Flint water until its chemistry is brought under control and that will require adult supervision – a genuine chemist. Detroit Water & Sewerage water is not a magic bullet. Detroit’s water works in Detroit’s distribution system. Detroit’s distribution system has not been damaged by 18 months of reckless water chemistry.
