Four years of biden and his handlers, all wasted. So much damage to our country in 4 years. But I digress.

What Trump is doing with rare earth metals is exactly what our Fed should be doing. The left will try to block it because it is good for the country. They will file lawsuits protecting the rare prairie gopher or some other bullshit, and their state side representation will slow things down the same way they are blocking rebuilding in Pacific Palisades, but hopefully over the next 3 years while Trump is in office (if the left doesn't assassinate him first) we will make unprecedented progress to the point there is no going back.

We gave away our position as the rare metals king back in the 90's when America sold mineral rights to China and they essentially shut us down using massive production and state supported labor costs. A brilliant move that has cost us trillions.

If you don't know how we got to be China's bitch on rare earth minerals, the following article explains it.

Thank God for Trump.

At the edge of California’s Mojave Desert, the Mountain Pass mine looks like any other stretch of dust and rock. But for decades, this lonely pit supplied the world with the rare-earth elements that make modern technology — and modern warfare — possible.

In the 1980s, Mountain Pass was the beating heart of a quiet American advantage. The ore pulled from its depths yielded neodymium, lanthanum and cerium — metals that powered radar systems, early computer chips and the guidance of precision munitions. At its peak, the mine met nearly two-thirds of global demand.

Then, almost overnight, it went silent.
