China Is Halting Critical Mineral Exports to the US. An Idaho Mine Could Help—If It Ever Secures Federal Permits "Unfortunately, our current permitting process is onerous and has been weaponized by keep-it-in-the-ground activists who oppose mining on solely ideological grounds," Rep. Pete Stauber (R., Minn.), the chairman of the House Natural Resource Committee's energy and mineral subcommittee, told the Free Beacon.
   "This risks our economic and national security, which was further proven when China enacted an export ban of several rare earth minerals, including antimony," Stauber said. "If we don't control our critical mineral future, China will continue to have a stranglehold on the global supply of most of these materials, which is why I will be leading the charge on this issue next Congress."

----------------DEI=DIE---------------

The U.S. military’s growing DEI policies are creating a climate where fear of unfounded accusations erodes leadership and threatens combat readiness—leaving the nation's future at risk.

American Airlines to drop DEI policies and quotas for recruitment, hiring after lawsuit  American Airlines (AA) will no longer be recruiting and hiring based on the dictates of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. The company admitted that the policy is a violation of federal laws that protect equal access to employment, America First Legal announced Tuesday.

Pro-Hamas Professor Who Called October 7 'Awesome' To Teach Columbia Course on Zionism  The school’s defense of Massad and his continued employment at the university has already resulted in at least one resignation. International and public affairs adjunct professor Lawrence Rosenblatt quit earlier this week, writing in a letter to the school that allowing Massad to teach a class on Zionism is akin to letting a white supremacist teach a class on racial equality.

Medical School To Host Course With Activist Who Said ‘White People Are Psychopaths’  The far-left activist said that whites are psychopaths because of their biology and 'evolutionary history'

B is for boycott. Bud Light is now a verb. Conservatives have made Ford and other major corporations jettison DEI like the original tea party tossed crates into Boston Harbor.

Poland becomes first EU nation to implement firearms training in all primary and secondary schools  Primary school students will learn weapons safety and how to handle weapons while secondary school students will learn how to shoot and shooting safety. They will use ball guns, air guns, replicas of small arms, virtual and laser ranges. The weaponry classes are mandatory for all students, many of whom say it's a good idea. One high school student said "it feels good to hit the target" while another said "it's a good idea. Life is scary these days, so you have to be prepared for anything."

Madison School Shooter Manifesto Reveals Misanthropic Teen Girl Who Celebrated Killers  The alleged manifesto of the 15-year-old girl who shot and killed three people, including herself, at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, reveals she deeply hated people and celebrated killers. Natalie Rupnow, who was also known as Samatha, was identified as the main suspect in the shooting and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot at the scene of the killings by police.

As the New York Times reports, software being installed on high school students’ school-issued devices tracks every word they type. An algorithm then analyzes the language for evidence of teenagers wanting to harm themselves.
   Unsurprisingly, the software can get it wrong by woefully misinterpreting what the students are actually trying to say. A 17-year-old in Neosho, Missouri, for instance, was woken up by the police in the middle of the night.
   As it turns out, a poem she had written years ago triggered the alarms of a software called GoGuardian Beacon, which its maker describes as a way to “safeguard students from physical harm.”

Johnson also faced criticism over hiring too many staffers and paying them too much. Chicago reporter William Kelly told Fox News that Johnson has enlisted more than 100 staffers and each of them has a six-figure salary. He also argued many of the positions appear frivolous.

Horrific story about Venezuelan migrant gangbangers violently torturing people in Colorado doesn’t get picked up by the legacy media   When it was first reported in August that Venezuelan gang members were terrorizing and taking over apartment complexes in Aurora, the story was downplayed. It was basically called an exaggeration or a disproven conspiracy. After all, they were busy campaigning for Kamala, and the truth would have been harmful to her campaign. They didn’t really care about the dangers to society. All they cared about was defeating Trump, who had told the truth about dangerous criminals from other countries invading the U.S. for a long time.
   When someone kills a person with a gun, Biden is the first one to come out demanding more Second Amendment infringements.

Biden Cabinet Officials Asked If Biden Was Fit to Serve - Bizarro World Ensues Questions about Biden's mental acuity surfaced early on in his presidency. There were little things that the media dutifully ignored, like referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "President Harris," calling Harris the "president-elect," and not remembering Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's name, saying, “My . . . the guy who runs that outfit over there.” In March of 2021, Biden fell three times while going up the stairs of Air Force One. The serious questions came after the presidential debate in June between Donald Trump and Biden. Just 10 minutes in, Biden lost his train of thought, slurred his words, and his answers to questions trailed off. It was at that point that calls for Biden to drop out of the race began.

Kroger stores are reportedly trying to make baby murder as cheap and convenient as possible, with abortion pills for only $7. Our nation has become very sick, and the pro-life Founding Fathers would be horrified. Image

Moderna Halts mRNA RSV Vaccine Trial for Children After Five Infants were Hospitalized  During the study’s younger cohort phase (5 months to <8 months), severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) emerged in a disproportionate number of vaccinated participants compared to those who received a placebo.

If I am reading and interpreting the numbers correctly, this puts medically-assisted dying up there with influenza, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and cirrhosis of the liver as causes of death for Canadians. And, ironically enough, above suicide—though medically-assisted dying is essentially a form of suicide.

This is a scandal not unlike Biden’s inability to build the EV charging stations he promised. As of last month, after $7.5 billion was allocated in 2021 for that project, only eight charging stations, which have between them 214 charging ports, had been built. Biden bragged earlier this year that he’d build a half million of them.

German Archaeological Find Sheds Light on Christianity's Spread Into Europe  The amulet strongly suggests that the wearer was a devout Christian because it doesn’t include any references to Jewish theology or pagan practices. It’s also noteworthy that the inscription is in Latin because most similar inscriptions from this era were in Greek or Hebrew.
    The inscription also contains a direct reference to Philippians 2:9-11, which reads, “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
