WNU Editor: I only learned about this news story last night. You would think that a fire at a National Security Complex that processes nuclear materials would be front page news everywhere. But it was not.

Aweful lot of this stuff going on to be just a coincidence. Or, this is the result of hardcore diversity hiring.
Americans as well of the rest of the world are overwhelmed with news these days, and who even knows how much, or what to believe anymore...
Wait, what? a potential cloud of radiation contaminated smoke flowing over US soil is news. But there is a murder trial. We can't turn away. And besides, the current regime tells us what to report on and this story might be used to make them look bad. back to the trial.
A lot of critical US infrastructure seems to be becoming combustible all at the same time.
COINKYDINKS,
R,
I saw this news last week. Not MSM though
The MSM does not report on a lot of things.
Why Pill Biden is in Africa but not virile and health Joe Biden.
Is Joe Biden shot as in he has nothing left after being pumped full for drugs for his fabulous Poland & Ukraine trip?
Sure Joe was seen after the trip and he was asked about East Palestine. Unfortunately for the White house doctor and the chief of Staff it showed Joe was not all there. Drugs can keep you on your feet, but they cannot keep you sober.
So unsober Joe is recovering out of sight in the White House as Pill carries the flag to African shores.
