We have rare earths in the US but they won’t let them mine it. Because when you mine them you also get thorium which is slightly radioactive. We did at one time collect the stuff. there’s a big pit of it they buried, somewhere, in the desert. It’s not a huge problem but the regulatory state, or someone, is screwing us. We could just get them to gather it in barrels and every so often drag it off an bury it. Even better we could make reactors to use it and never, ever, ever worry about energy again but…they won’t let them do either.

…or they could print paper ballots and count them by hand, like we did for oveer two hundred years.

Funny, my local county polling stations were able to count all the votes and call them in, have the tables loaded up, and be rolling out within an hour after the polls closed. Yet it can take a week or more the the electronic voting machine results to be faked. Er, counted.

“Democrats believe that each alien should get a lengthy Federal trial before being sent back”

It’s time Congress takes a hold of the reins of these judges. The Constitution explicitly says that Congress can specify the bounds of what the judges can rule on that is not directly in the very tiny, small set of circumstances laid out in the Constitution. People keep saying that our Constitution is some old drafty document that is not up with the times but every thing we need to reform is right in it. Congress and has enough Republicans if they stick together and make a HUGE issue of it, to pass constraints n judges. A simple one. Judges will not take up any cases for anyone illegally in the country and anyone who is deemed, (fancy wording omitted), a problem or trouble can be immediately deported without a hearing. While their at it make asylum a case by case basis and be able to administratively deport those deemed not a good case.

Same with voting laws for all Federal elected officials. We see what can be done. Trump has not done anything but actually use the power he already has to forcefully do things in our interest. The Democrats have done that for decades for themselves. If we drastically tightened up the voting laws and also the Republicans did not totally run over the people with laws favoring corporations then they could clean up the whole country in a very rapid time. Think of all the decades of them saying they will do this or that or the other then doing nothing, but now we see things can get done immediately if you just start firing people left and right that do not do what they are told to do. Congress has hinted at using the “good behavior” clause in the Constitution to get rid of judges. They need to do 4 or 5 five of those right now and dump them. We need to get these aliens out our country they are a huge threat.

BTW I’m not sure Trump has the legal ability to regulate voting but COngress sure does. Maybe he could threaten to arrest people who use corrupt machines and by that means compel them to switch.

Regarding most Republicans in government: Kayfabe. When everyone can see what would solve the problems but no one makes an effort to do so, Kayfabe. When Liberty Score shows that a small percentage of Congressman (7%) vote as solid conservatives while 40% of voters describe themselves as such: Kayfabe. When much is made about building The Wall but construction stops after 24% is completed: Kayfabe. When Republicans offer brave bills to a Democrat-led Congress that are destined to go nowhere, but offer only crickets when they control Congress: Kayfabe. Who are the Faces? Who are the Heels? Does it really matter: Kayfabe.

The problem is, half of Congress enthusiastically supports what those judges are doing – enforcing Democratic Party policy.

The Anti-Federalists noted that the Judicial Branch lacked adequate accountability, but they weren’t able to make much headway there.

The Constitution was originally more of an instrument of tyranny than freedom; the various limits and controls are almost all the work of the Anti-Federalists, patched on against the bitter resistance of the Federalists.

Letting the Judicial Branch “interpret” the laws passed by the Legislative Branch sure didn’t help things any. The Supremes are a relatively static body, able to work with the long view. Congress might pass laws, but it’s a scrum of short-term politicians, seldom interested in what the Judicial Branch might do with those laws.

Two days ago user Farce had this reply to a poast I made about DJT and Nixon:

“Nixon opening China was a crime.
Trump befriending Russia is a saintly act.”

I wanted to think about that some before responding even though my fist thought was “yeah, that sounds about right”.

That’s still my feeling but, for good or bad, I just don’t think about things in those terms very often (at all really).

To me (and not being nearly as smart as Nixon or as informed) it was a reasonable decision that history had proven very wrong. It was a blunder and the Russians explained exactly why at the time and were begging to take China’s place. To the extent that they (Kruschev I think) told Nixon about the ensuing racial collapse that would happen. Amazing.

But here we are and must move forward.

It also got me thinking that the DJT Project/Operation/Program can probably be best understood as the third run at the crown by an indigenous US Faction.

The first was JFK. The Second was Nixon. And, the third is DJT. This Faction seems to have learned from their prior losses and navigated the pitfalls the first two failed at (assassination and impeachment).

I kinda wonder if Charles Lindbergh wasn’t an earlier failed attempt because of America First.

Funnily enough, what got me thinking about this was that I got dared to play the ancient Stalker Call of Pripyat on master (highest) level. I did it hahahh. But there were multiple points where I just got totally destroyed again and again and I had to make myself “stop fighting the game”. I had to stop doing it my way and do it the way the game wanted it done.

Idk, maybe the DJT Faction has to do it this way even though I very much do not want them to do it this way.

Note: spergy detail but I wanted to use 9×39 Eastern Bloc heavy subsonic ammo out of an integrated silencer rifle because that is kino af to me. The game wanted me to use the “gauss rifle” which I find goofy and cringe.

I went to the ER last year for what turned out to be a strangulated hernia. The admissions nurse and the ER doc both asked if I was “vaccinated.” When I said no they seemed relieved.

They transported me to a different hospital for surgery. The doc there asked if I was “vaccinated” and seemed delighted when I said no.

Last Friday I donated blood, which I do every couple of months. Whole blood, not just plasma. They run one of the COVID tests on a sample each time, and apparently the one they use can tell if you’ve been vaxxed, because they’ve commented on it before. This last time, they put a big cardboard tag on the blood bag noting it was unvaxxed.

I don’t have any idea what Don and RFK are up to, but my local medical industry seems to have quietly turned from Accepted Medical Standards and is no longer on board with the whole vaxx thing.

I think DJT can’t fire him. Or, not having him there or firing him is worse than the alternative.

Rubio and Bondi and DeSantis types are Bush Faction. As are Roberts and Barrett (ptob Kav) on SCOTUS. As are 99% of the faceless GOP bureaucrats in DC (Bush Faction appointed them all). As are the majority of ppl in the GOP party infrastructure.

The DEMs have done this for quite some time. The GOP hasn’t because the BUSH Faction had total dominance in the machinery. But, when Barry “won”, he had a few Clinton ppl in key posts and some CA Faction ppl too. They didn’t as obv eff Barry as the Bush Faction types are eff’ing DJT though. I think it was mostly information gathering and having their voices heard.

DJT looks to still need Bush Faction support and ppl like Rubio and Bondi and giving up Rubio’s old seat on the SSCI is the price.

Idk why DJT won’t just chimp and end the Bush Faction BS at SCOTUS. It’s ridiculous that Roberts and Barrett can just perpetuate unwarranted resistance.

All I can think is this level of betrayal is the price of admission.

The Bush Faction really had to be ended.

“DeSantis is Bush faction”

I hear this stupid shit a lot. Usually from sanctimonious assholes like Sundance. Don’t understand it. First off, I’m not from FLA, don’t really have a dog in this fight. I just see what my eyes show me. Here’s what they show me: 1) For the last 40 years, FL has been a knife edge 50/50 Rep/Dem state. Hanging chads and all that. In any statewide race, a few thousand votes one way or another was all it took to win. 2) So when the GOP (somehow) managed to fuck up a little less and (accidentally) win, they governed *exactly* like Bush squishes: soft, gentle, friendly, lots & lots of “outreach” to their democrat “friends”. utterly useless. Like Jeb Fucking Bush. 3) 6 years ago, the FL Gov race was between a wildly corrupt but totes yung an fly playya (former mayor?) from Tampa, and some guy I’d never heard of named RDS. 4) Somehow, a miracle occurred, and RDS was elected in this – once again – this knife edge 50/50 state where a few thousand votes either way made all the difference. 5) But then something weird happened: RDS wasn’t like Jeb! or all the other useless GOP squishes. RDS played to WIN, and he played damn well. 6) And within just 2 years, RDS had fundamentally destroyed the FLA dem party. To the point where in both 2020 and 2024, the national dems were canceling planned October {presidential} ad buys in freakin AUGUST because there was just no use: FLA was (somehow) ROCK SOLID REPUBLICAN NOW. 7) “somehow”

Again, I got no dog in this fight, but I ask you: does that kind of lethal effectiveness at both A) making the GOP do well and B) destroying democrats sound like a “Bush faction” thing to you? Because that’s the exact fucking opposite of CIA Poppy and Junior’s M.O. CIA Poppy & Junior were alllll about making America safe for their democrat friends. (see the well-known Bush-Obama & Bush-Clintons friendships)

That damn sure ain’t RDS, now is it. So what’s the problem?

Yes. It sounds precisely like the Bush Faction. Precisely.

The Bush Faction had and still has de facto control over the GOP party infrastructure. DJT has made some inroads at the higer levels but the grassroots is still pure Bush Faction.

The Bush Faction, always having this power, decided to make FLA the only state with un-eff’d elections. But only to the extent of a DJT presidency and a clean sweep of Bush Faction pols down ticket.

RDS got to appoint Rubio’s replacement to the SSCI. And they got Rubio a cherry gig in the admin.

Rubio is 100% Bush Faction.

They also got Bondi.

It’s just silly and embarrassing to argue that Rubio and RDS et al isn’t Bush Factio.

BTW, that book I’ve mentioned a couple of times, “Spooks” by Jim Hougan, mentioned a CIA operation in South America financed by USAID, circa 1963 or 1964.

Most of the stuff the book talks about is way before my time, but sometimes stuff jumps right out to attention, even if I’d never heard of USAID until a couple of months ago.

China isn’t the only source of those elements; it’s just the one that’s currently the cheapest.

Though the name “rare earths” suggests they’re rare; they’re really not; they’re found all over, just not often in easily accessible lodes. You generally don’t mine specifically for rare earths; they’re a bonus you get when you separate the impurities out when mining for something else.

Before China entered the market, rare earths came primarily from Sweden, South Africa, and Canada. And it looks like there may be commercially viable concentrations in… Greenland.
