Mike Steger frames the latest assassination attempt on Trump as political warfare inside a propaganda ocean, then walks through midterm fights — Russiagate prosecutions, ActBlue/NGO money flows, the Save America Act — Iran's fractured regime, and Trump's five DPA energy memos.
Susan Kokinda links Saturday's third Trump assassination attempt at the Washington Hilton to King Charles' Washington visit and a new House of Lords report — arguing the British imperial system fears Trump's American System revival the way it feared McKinley.
Brian Lantz takes you on the factory floor of the American economy: durable goods +8.2%, manufacturing construction +20.2%, machine tool orders +22.5%, the U.S. now the world's third-largest steel producer. It's being built, baby, built.
There's no resource crisis — only a technology crisis. The critical minerals challenge proves what counts as a "resource" is defined by our technology, not nature.
There's no such thing as a resource crisis — only a technology crisis. The U.S. critical minerals challenge proves it: what counts as a "resource" isn't fixed by nature. It's defined by what our technology can do.
As of 2014 the U.S. was 100% import-dependent for 15 minerals and over 50% dependent for 46. The Trump Administration has responded with the most aggressive minerals campaign in modern history — executive orders, Defense Production Act investments, a $12 billion strategic stockpile, and fast-tracked permitting for 37+ mining projects.
But the deeper story is what happens when technology advances. Uranium was worthless until nuclear fission made it invaluable. Taconite was waste until higher energy processing turned it into America's primary iron ore. Today, billions of tons of mining waste, coal ash, and industrial byproducts contain massive critical mineral deposits — waiting for the next technological leap to unlock them.
A 2025 Colorado School of Mines study found that recovering just 10% of byproducts from active U.S. mines could eliminate imports of 27 critical minerals. Companies like Phoenix Tailings and 6K are already proving it's possible.
Resources don't run out. They get created.

Nuclear power is the dividing line between mankind stuck on Earth and mankind colonizing the solar system. Trump's pushing through it. The British Empire says stay put.
Artemis II returned humans to the Moon for the first time since 1972. With nuclear power initiatives, a lunar landing targeted for 2028, and a revitalized space industrial base, America is entering a new golden age of space exploration and growth.
