We will refine rare earth here in the US and it will happen quickly.

Market goes up and down and today is Friday, both are facts.
 
This market ride is totally self inflicted. And, we aren't setup to refine rare earth minerals.

Ozturk, the Tufts student, has been ordered released by a federal judge.
 
Go back and re-read what I said, I called NO ONE a Nazi, not you, not trump, BUT given anough time there could be an offshoot of maga that could go in the direction of the Nazis...

The Nazis were just a part of that German movement that lead us to WWII and trump certainly is "leaning" that way with mass deportations without Due Process for starters and Musk throwing up Nazi salutes...

How can you watch Musk do that and think "Yeah, I'm on the right side of history"???
 
I I'm fairly certain that something like the Nazis could never be fully realized here in America due to the fact the large majority of Americans are like you and me, Gun Owners! and one of the first thing any Nazi movement in America would need to do is round up all the guns and throw anyone who puts up a fight in a prison...

That could never happen here, which helps me sleep at night...
 
I agree with most of what Republicans used to stand for and about half, if that, of what liberals stand for.

I guess, if I had to put a label on myself, I would probably say I'm a Progressive Republican who stands for FREEDOM FOR ALL, regardless of your race, creed, or religion, AND THE RULE OF LAW above all else!

maga is none of that, and I stand firmly against it!!! Jan 6th was nothing but a lawless free-for-all, and anybody who went into the Capitol that day should rot in PRISON!!!

I support Freedom of Speech for anyone with a student visa, as an official guest I feel they have the right to be here, unlike illegal invader fence jumpers who do NOT have Constitutional rights.

Illegal immigrants are NOT citizens and do not have Constitutional rights.

Obama deported 3 million illegals a year......

You didn't answer my question Mr. rule of law, did you support the violent BLM riots ? @Aorus Forever
 
"did you support the violent BLM riots?" NO, I DID NOT! Anyone who breaks the law should be prosecuted, plain and simple! And this comes from someone who has spent some time in a county jail. I didn't like it, and it was no fun, BUT it was fair, and I deserved what I got, and I never went back... ;)

When "hands up don't shoot" happened, or anytime something like that happens, I don't jump to judgment, and I wait for all the information to come out, which served me well during that. and it did the same for "I can't breathe" as well...:unsure:

In both of those, my first reaction was WRONG! But I didn't jump on social media and start pointing fingers and I waited until it became clear what had really happened, and really, I don't do social media anyway... ;)

Does that answer your question?

EDIT - And since, for whatever reason, you keep harping on immigrants while talking to me, I haven't formed a complete opinion on immigration yet, but I'm working on it... :unsure:

Wherever you are right now—in your homes, at your workplaces, commuting, or taking a quiet moment—I want you to pause and consider those three words. We the People. Three words so powerful that men would sacrifice everything for them. Three words that form the foundation of our nation, words that speak directly to you, to me, to all of us.

Think back to the moment our nation declared its identity—the moment the blueprint for our government was laid down. It didn’t begin with the pronouncement of a king, the decree of a ruling council, or the name of a singular leader. No. It started with a resounding declaration that embraced every single one of us: We the People!

But today, we must take those words even further: We Are the People. We are the inheritors of that bold declaration. We Are the People who must meet the responsibilities we inherited as caretakers of the Constitution.

The forefathers, in their unparalleled wisdom, understood the dangers of unchecked power, which is why they required every official to take an oath of office. This self-executing safeguard, embedded in the original Constitution through Article VI, Clause 3, ensures that power is never assumed without a sworn commitment to defend the founding principles. An oath is not merely ceremonial—it is a binding obligation, and violating it must carry consequences.

Throughout history, additional safeguards have reinforced this requirement, such as Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies any official who actively engages in rebellion. But make no mistake—the oath itself was the Founders’ first and strongest safeguard. The Supremacy Clause ensures unconstitutional actions lack legitimacy, and through Marbury v. Madison, courts reaffirmed that laws contrary to the Constitution carry no force.

Oaths taken by public officials are not symbolic gestures; they are binding contracts that hold the weight of law. Failure to uphold them should not depend on political convenience—it should be recognized as a disqualifying violation of our founding principles.

If those entrusted with leadership refuse to uphold their commitment, it falls to We the People—to Us—to act as the rightful caretakers of the Constitution. State-level legal challenges, whistleblower protections, and public resistance are not just options; they are our duty in preserving democracy.

We Are the People—not just the recipients of liberty, but its defenders. If we fail in this responsibility, then what was sacrificed before us was for nothing. The oath must stand, the Constitution must endure, and we must rise to meet our inherited obligation!
 
I support our Constitution 100%

That said when the US Constitution says " All persons have the right to due process " it didn't mean all persons standing on foreign soil, it meant people standing on US soil and it is CITIZENS who have the right to stand on US soil, illegal invaders do NOT have the right to stand on US soil, they are NOT CITIZENS and do NOT have Constitutional rights....... do illegal immigrants have the right to keep and bear arms ?? NOPE, yet the liberal democrats want to pick and choose which rights they want NON-CITIZENS to have.

Illegal invaders do NOT have Constitutional rights.
 
All right, since you keep harping on immigration, let's look at "All persons have the right to due process", where does it say "US soil" or "Citizens"??? And who are you to try to say what "All persons have the right to due process" really means beyond what it does say, that all persons have the right to due process???

I would take it to mean that while you are within the American borders, you have the right to due process, no more, no less...

It has no other qualifiers, like those you are trying to place upon it?

So " all persons " living in Russia have the US Constitutional right to vote in our elections ?

NOPE only US citizens.

Foreign invaders so NOT have the right to vote in our elections and they do NOT have the right to due process, they are criminal fence jumper INVADERS.

How about " the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed " But is is infringed.
Still " the people " so illegal immigrants have the right to buy and carry guns in America ???? NOPE !

Illegal invaders do NOT have Constitutional rights. Fuck we Citizens hardly have our fucking rights.

p.s. What I take the word " persons " to mean is human Citizens, not dogs or cats, cows or goats, human persons who quite obviously are CITIZENS, that's the part the founders would have thought went without saying, just like in the 2nd amendment where is says the right of the PEOPLE ..... that doesn't mean illegal invaders just because they are people, thus all persons doesn't mean illegal invaders just because they are persons, it's very simple logic, don't play stupid.

" people " can't mean only citizens in one amendment if " persons " means any non-citizen warm body in another amendment

Either illegal immigrants have the right to buy, own and carry guns and have the right to due process ... or they don't.

And, I have yet to see any liberal democrats argue that illegal immigrants have the right to keep and bear arms, so isn't that a bit of a strawman statement?

Try to stay on the one thing we are talking about, "All persons have the right to due process", now you're off on who can vote, and people in Russia, and the right to bear arms??? wtf?

Can we at least talk about one thing at a time? "All persons have the right to due process"...
