I asked
@NikkiHaley
if she would support Donald Trump if he runs again in 2024.
“Yes,” she told me.
“I would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it,” she added. “That’s something that we will have a conversation about, at some point.”
Story upcoming
In case you ever trusted a word out of Nikki Haley's mouth.

Biden must give Ukraine what they're asking for: planes.

Never Nikki! Ever.
I doubt any sauce will be posted. Still waiting to see a reply for the planes for the Ukraine Nikki Haley wanted.
1% lol. She is going claim discrimination!
Q.
Why are there so few women of your generation in high level politics?
A.
It’s not because the challenge is too hard. It’s simply because women don’t run. The reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton. Everybody was telling me why I shouldn’t run: I was too young, I had small children, I should start at the school board level. I went to Birmingham University, and Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker on a leadership institute, and she said that when it comes to women running for office, there will be everybody that tells you why you shouldn’t but that’s all the reasons why we need you to do it, and I walked out of there thinking “That’s it. I’m running for office.”

Summary of Incident
On the morning of January 2, 2005, a report to the National Response Center indicated an explosion and fire has occurred at the Teris LLC facility in El Dorado, Arkansas. The initial explosion occurred at approximately 0800 hours.
The facility reported initially that an employee attempted to extinguish a small fire within a warehouse storing various waste containers, but that the fire soon grew out of control.
The cause of the accident is not addressed within this report.
Response organizations (El Dorado Fire and Police Departments, as well as the Union County Sheriff Department) quickly responded and established a unified command with the Teris personnel to establish a strategy and response procedures for dealing with the emergency.
Local responders closed nearby streets, as well as evacuating approximately 200 residents downwind from the facility.
EPA Region 6 dispatched its Airborne Spectral and Photographic Environmental Technology (ASPECT) plan to monitor the plume. Preliminary review of the data collected by ASPECT showed low concentrations of trimethylamine in the immediate downwind plume. No other significant compounds or concentrations were detected.
Fire fighting was conducted by Teris personnel on-site, with off-site assistance from the local response organizations.
Due to the reactive wastes involved in the fire, water was not used as an extinguishing agent. Efforts focused on cooling areas not involved in the fire, as well as movement of materials not involved.
By 1900 hours on January 2, local officials lifted part of the evacuation area. By 1600 hours on January 3, all evacuations and road closures were lifted.
On-going monitoring of the ambient air was conducted by the Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health (CTEH), who was contracted by Teris. Additionally, EPA START contractors monitoring throughout the community.
No significant concentrations of contaminants were detected during the air monitoring efforts. CTEH did detect elevated levels of particulate matter immediately adjacent to the scene.
Sampling was conducted by Teris, with EPA and Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) coordination, from fire suppression runoff. These samples were to be analyzed to determine proper disposal of this water runoff.
Additionally, wipe samples were collected by Teris (CTEH), in coordination with EPA, ADEQ, and Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) at 10 locations within the community.
Teris contracted with a remediation company (HEPACO) to relocate drums not involved in the fire, as well as remediation of the warehouse after the fire is extinguished.
EPA discontinued air monitoring and demobilized from the scene on January 6. Teris continued to work with local response officials, as well as ADEQ and ADH, on remediation efforts.
A review of the response was scheduled on conducted by EPA with State and local officials on
All attendees at the review agreed that the response was handled professionally and to the best of the capabilities of the local response officials.

Officials Say Arkansas Hazardous-Waste Fire Probably Started From Spontaneous Ignition Of Chemical
Jan. 19, 2005
A Jan. 2 explosion and fire at a hazardous-waste storage site was probably a result of spontaneous ignition of a barrel of sodium chlorate.
EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) – A Jan. 2 explosion and fire at a hazardous-waste storage site was probably a result of spontaneous ignition of a barrel of sodium chlorate that may have contained other materials that reacted with the chemical, according to a preliminary report.
The report released Tuesday was submitted earlier in the week to the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.
The fire prompted authorities to evacuate 2,500 people from the area around the Teris LLC hazardous-waste storage warehouse. No injuries were reported, however, and the evacuees were allowed to return to their homes and businesses a day later.
The report says waste materials shipped to Teris LLC in December from a New York rail yard contained more than just the soil and sodium chlorate _ a common herbicide and oxidizer _ that workers expected. The waste may have contained enough wood, creosote and fuel residue to react with the sodium chlorate to produce heat.
"From the initial investigation, it appears there was some foreign material in there that caused the reaction,'' Teris vice president Doug Riley said.
Barrels of the same material caught fire Jan. 12 after they were removed from the smoldering warehouse and stored temporarily in a trailer on the Teris grounds.
The Jan. 2 fire smoldered for days after firefighters chose not to fight it for fear that water would react dangerously with some of the stored chemicals.
The Teris facility, formerly operated by Ensco, disposes of hazardous wastes from industries and government operations. The plant receives spent solvents, waste oils, chlorinated hydrocarbons, herbicides and insecticides, as well as dirt, residues and contaminated water from cleanup activities from other sites.
