Barbara Boyd rebuts Slotkin's claim that Trump needs China's help over Iran, exposes the Toronto huddle of Carney, Obama, and Alex Soros, tours the booming American economy under Hegseth and Greer, and frames Trump's China trip as the prelude to a US-China-Russia renaissance.
Mike Steger maps Iran tensions, Trump's Beijing trip and a "Core Five" sovereign-nation model against UK turmoil and California chaos — then turns to the philosophical foundations of the American system as the key to winning the midterms.
Putin's Victory Day remarks naming China, India, and the U.S. as Russia's "partners and friends" have rattled the Obama–Soros network — who convened in Mark Carney's Toronto to launch a "Principled Pragmatism" rebrand and declare Trump's presidency an "interregnum."
Promethean Science • Did Trump Just Revive Hamilton's Economic Playbook?
Trump is using Hamilton's playbook to fight China's minerals monopoly. DOD loans, price guarantees, equity stakes—the American System of public credit is back. Here's how it works.
China didn't just outcompete America on critical minerals—it used predatory pricing to deliberately bankrupt U.S. operations like Mountain Pass. Meanwhile, Bank of England-led climate finance restrictions choked off credit to energy-intensive industries. The result? The U.S. now depends on adversaries for the minerals that run its economy and military.
The Trump Administration is fighting back—and the playbook isn't new. It's the American System.
DOD loans to MP Materials ($150M) and Vulcan Elements ($620M). A $10B Export-Import Bank loan for "Project Vault." Price guarantees and allied coordination through FORGE. Equity stakes in MP Materials ($400M), Trilogy Metals (10%), and Lithium Americas (5%).
These aren't bailouts. They're public credit tools—affordable loans, guaranteed price floors, and government equity stakes—designed to expand U.S. mining, processing, and manufacturing capacity. It's the same approach Alexander Hamilton used to industrialize a fledgling nation and FDR used to mobilize the Arsenal of Democracy.
Credit isn't debt. It's investment in future productivity. And it's how America wins the minerals war.

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.
