Why would Biden lock up land for mining?

🚨 MINERAL DOMINANCE: House Votes to Unleash Minnesota’s Resources 🚨

In a major legislative victory for the administration’s energy agenda, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 214–208 today, January 21, 2026, to overturn a Biden-era ban on mining in Northern Minnesota. The resolution, spearheaded by Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN), targets a 20-year moratorium that locked up over 225,000 acres of mineral-rich land in the Superior National Forest.

The vote paves the way to tap into one of the world’s largest undeveloped deposits of copper, nickel, and cobalt—critical minerals essential for national defense, AI technology, and domestic manufacturing.

The terror and fear is coming from the people storming churches, ramming their cars at ICE, shooting ICE etc.

But share a case where ICE force their way into people's homes.

A memo is one thing, so let's back that memo up with actuality
This one goes unreported. In 2019 Trump admin introduced rapid DNA testing of adults accompanying minors. To ensure that they are relatives.
Biden immediately dropped it.
During Biden term hundreds of thousands of children (400K plus ) were released to families in the interior and 300K sort of disappeared.
Trump admin has located 129,000 children ,many who have been sexually abused and others working as indentured slaves.

Biden deliberately enabled child trafficking.
Another reason I don't like Pam Bondi.

See what I am talking about..

Agency should be better led, resources should be better trained..

Acting like NURTW, because millions of immigrants poured into the US doesnt serve any better purpose but fear mongering. Citizens as well as legal immigrants are being arrested and detained in these ICE raids.

Previous presidents executed immigration laws without having to propagate fear and terror in the streets of america..
Obama never got any negative press.
He earned the title deporter in chief.

https://theconversation.com/immigrants-deported-under-obama-share-stories-of-terror-and-rights-violations-74212

Obama was probably worse than Trump.

He built the cages , democrats would later say Trump is the one. As usual democrats lying.
Obama heavily utilized the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996
to rapidly expedite the removal of illegal aliens before they appeared before an immigration judge.Today democrats demand every alien must appear before an immigration judge and be accorded due process.

Not a whimper from the media.

I remember one person here saying democrats aren't talking about the invitation by the House of rep declined by the Clinton's.

What next? Is it not for Pamela to release the rest of the Epstein's files now that DJT isnt going ahead with bombing Greenland ?

grin grin
Clinton is a very significant Epstein associate. He was chummy with Epstein, not that he has been mentioned. Epstein visited the Clinton WH at least 17 times. He had this hand drawn portrait of Bill in his living room. He flew over 27 times in his plane . Epstein also claimed to have been involved in establishing the Clinton Foundations. Ghislaine Maxwell attended the wedding of Chelsea Clinton.
Hillary's aide Huma Abedin was married to Antony Weiner,who was jailed for sexting with a minor. Huma is now married to George Soros son Alex who now runs the Open Society Foundation that is behind non profits screwing up America in every way

I think this madness became sudden in 2025 when oga told Texas to redraw there maps ahead of 2026.

When leadership is poor everybody does whatever they like.. and it is the result you are seeing.

Gerrymandering all together should be banned. Its manipulative..
So you can see the madness of gerrymandering. It becomes a new war,if you hold the state Senate and House ,eliminate the other party representation. Until when?

It didn't start with Texas, many blue and red states always redraw maps to favour them. Joe Biden by bringing in say 10 million plus immigrants ensures more democrat seats. The illegals were mostly resettled in sanctuary and democrat areas boosting their population.After the census democrats will get more seats.
Thats the reason why democrats have demonized ICE and CBP . The goal of immigration is to shift the demographic dynamics to favour them. They don't love immigrants at all.
A state like Texas decided to fight back.

Didn't Biden call parents protesting at school boards over lbgtqa material domestic terrorists? Didn't Biden call republican Whites as the greatest threats to security?

+Don Lemon and his gang fit the domestic terrorists tag,they chose a white church to go disrupt because the pastor is affiliated to ICE. Thats inflicting terror.

I could go on.Reene Good actions to murder an ICE agent is an act of terror,a warning to others that they can be killed.

Isn't that ratio impressive. Almost a 1-1 ratio.
Those arrested with criminal records also have families .Were they arrested without their families.
If ICE agents storm a criminals house won't they detain his wife and children ?

On ICE agents being racist. Breakdown of undocumented immigrants in terms of race.

Hispanic: This group constitutes the overwhelming majority of the unauthorized immigrant population, with individuals of Mexican origin accounting for around 40%, and Central/South Americans for another large portion (collectively about 80% to 84% of the total).
Asian: This is the second-largest group, making up approximately 6% of the unauthorized population as of 2023. The largest origin countries within this group include India, China, and the Philippines.
White: Individuals from Europe, Canada, and Oceania account for about 7% of the total unauthorized immigrant population.
Black/African: This group makes up about 3% to 4% of the total unauthorized immigrant population. Haitians, Jamaicans, and Nigerians are among the largest origin groups within this demographic.


Logically what race would ICE agents target the most .As far as I can tell they been going for specific people with criminal records so far,they have not yet conducted wholesale indiscriminate deportation if aliens. They are using Peter Thiel's Palantir Investigative Case Management system which aggregates every dataset possible to pinpoint real time actual geo-location of those on their warrants. iCE doesn't need a judge's warrant
Mist of the undocumented arrested have criminal records from murder,robbery,drug ,rape, etc
When democrats cry about racial profiling ,in the early stages they are really protecting vicious criminals.

There'd soon be a stand off between local police and ICE soon..

I think I have seen that happen in Nigeria, where the army and police do get into some brawl.

DOING THINGS BY DUE PROCESS WONT HARM OR WORRY ANYBODY. BUT AS IT IS , ANYTHING OR ANYBODY THAT WORKS FOR TRUMP THROWS DUE PROCESS AWAY AND RATHER PREFERS CHAOS..
So what's the big deal? They are citizens ,why should it be a problem. ICE are doing their job,which allows them to stop anyone and everyone and demand proof of residency. Do you think the Indian wife of JD Vance would throw a tantrum if she was stopped by ICE agents. iCE has arrested 10,000 in Minnesota , who if deported would see democrats lose a congressional district.
After the 2020 Census, Minnesota kept its eighth congressional seat by a mere 89 people. New York would have received the seat if Minnesota had counted 89 fewer residents. Wake up smell the coffee.

Last I checked you are yet to produce an American citizen who was deported.

This is what Howard Lutnick told the WEF globalists.

🌍 “GLOBALIZATION HAS FAILED”: Secretary Lutnick Takes the America First Message to Davos 🌍

The elites at the World Economic Forum got a reality check today, January 20, 2026, as U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick delivered a blunt assessment of the global order. Appearing on a high-stakes trade panel, Lutnick declared that the era of hollowing out the American industrial base is over.

Lutnick stated that the globalization model championed by the WEF—exporting, offshoring, and seeking the "cheapest labor in the world"—has left the American worker behind.

He warned that offshoring fundamental industries like medicine and semiconductors is a direct threat to national sovereignty.

Lutnick reminded the room that "sovereignty is your borders" and that no nation should be dependent on rivals for its survival.

"Well, I think you should start at a much higher level. We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum, and the Trump Administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point. Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America. It's a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export, offshore, far-shore, find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it. The fact is, it has left America behind. It has left the American workers behind. And what we are here to say is that America First is a different model—one that we encourage other countries to consider—which is that our workers come first. We can have policies that impact our workers. Sovereignty is your borders. You're entitled to have borders. You shouldn't offshore your medicine.

You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors. You shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you. You should not be dependent, for that which is fundamental to your sovereignty, on any other nation. And if you're going to be dependent on someone, it darn well better be your best allies. Okay? And so that is a different way of thinking. It is completely different than the WEF. I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle, but in fact they are the flag. Whichever way the wind blew, so it blew. You should have solar, you should have wind. Why are you going to do solar and wind? Why would Europe agree to be net-zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery?! They don't make a battery! So if they go 2030, they are deciding to be subservient to China who makes the batteries."


There could be something wrong with wanting manufacturing back to your country?
The same thing they told us about plenty of idle refining capacity overseas,so we don't need refineries because we can import the refined products extracted from Nigeria.

The guy who shone a laser at Marine One while Trump was onboard has been found not guilty by a jury after admitting shining the laser

🚨 “IRREVOCABLY BROKEN”: DC Jury Acquits Man in Presidential Helicopter Laser Case 🚨

A DC jury has sparked a fresh wave of outrage after acquitting Jacob Samuel Winkler, 33, of federal charges for aiming a laser pointer at Marine One while President Donald Trump was aboard. The jury reached the "not guilty" verdict in approximately 35 minutes on January 13, 2026, a remarkably swift decision that critics label a "citizens' revolt" against the Trump administration.

Federal prosecutors alleged that on September 20, 2025, Winkler shone a red laser at a Secret Service officer before directing the beam toward the presidential helicopter as it departed the White House.

Authorities argued the keychain-sized laser posed a "serious safety threat" of flash blindness and pilot disorientation during a critical phase of flight.

Winkler was charged with a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 39A(a), which carries a potential penalty of up to five years in prison.

Statements in Custody: Following his arrest, Winkler allegedly repeatedly said, "I should apologize to Donald Trump," and admitted to investigators that he frequently pointed the laser at various objects.

Winkler's public defenders characterized the case as a "disturbing reality" where the government spent scarce resources to prosecute a homeless man with a "cat toy".

The defense argued that the low-power device did not actually endanger the aircraft and that the prosecution failed to prove intent or actual risk beyond a reasonable doubt.

The "J6" Double Standard: Conservative journalist Julie Kelly slammed the acquittal, noting that 35 minutes is the same time it took DC juries to convict January 6 defendants of similar charges, such as interfering with federal officers.

A Pattern of Resistance: This acquittal follows several instances where DC grand juries have reportedly refused to indict residents—including a man who threw a salami sandwich at an officer—as a way of protesting the Trump administration's crackdown.


Democrats have screwed up the country.

nateevs:
European Government's are beginning to realise what I have been saying for 10 years. This guy is a lunatic fascist, unfortunately, now with the world's greatest power under his finger.

Bootlickers like Starmer fell in line to lick ass, agreeing stupid deals, just to be seen as politically compliant with the US.

Now all these nincompoops are faced with the unprecedented event of sending troops to defend Greenland against the US.

It's coming for all of us.
I know Starmer wants you people to use BBC it's more than enough Follow BBC and you'll never get into trouble of having independent thought.

Key Historical Instances
Andrew Johnson (1860s): Following the U.S. purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, Secretary of State William H. Seward commissioned a report on the feasibility of also acquiring Greenland and Iceland from Denmark. While the idea was seriously considered, no formal offer was ultimately made at the time, partly due to a lack of congressional support.
Harry S. Truman (1946): After World War II, during which the U.S. had taken over the defense of Greenland due to the German occupation of Denmark, President Truman made a formal, but secret, offer to purchase the island for $100 million in gold. Denmark rejected this offer, but the two nations later agreed to a defense pact that allowed the U.S. to establish military bases, including Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base).
Donald Trump (2019 and 2024-2026): During his first presidential term in 2019, President Trump discussed the idea of buying Greenland, describing it as a "large real estate deal". The Danish government and Greenlandic authorities swiftly and publicly dismissed the idea, stating the island was not for sale, which led to a diplomatic dispute. Trump revived his interest in the idea after winning the 2024 election and, in his second term, has framed the acquisition as a national security necessity, even raising the possibility of military action or imposing tariffs if a sale is not agreed upon.
The consistent interest in Greenland stems from its strategic geopolitical location in the Arctic and its potential vast natural resources, including rare earth minerals, oil, and gas. However, modern international law and Greenland's status as an autonomous territory of Denmark mean that the people of Greenland would have to consent to any change in sovereignty.


Take heart.Majority of the Republican are not interested in Greenland,there are more pressing issues
EU should take care of it's own security and Ukraine, if they are broke they can always sell Greenland and give the money to Zelensky.

Brussels Monstrosity .Deutche Exit if AfD takes power.

🚨 “MONSTROUS EU”: Alice Weidel Vows a Referendum to Dismantle the Bloc 🚨

Following the AfD’s historic surge to become the second-largest party in the German Bundestag, co-leader Alice Weidel is dropping a massive "truth nuke" on the Brussels establishment. Weidel has made it clear: if her party takes power, she will give German citizens a "Brexit-style" choice to leave the European Union—a move she calls "Dexit".

Alice Weidel: "Dear friends, I’ve just had another look at the last question directly from Berlin. It was about the demand for 'Dexit'—leaving the EU—and the claim that it would be terrible because it would also mean leaving the Single Market.

That is fundamentally wrong. My demand—which I’ve already written articles about in Die Welt as far back as 2016—is that every country within the EU should be free to leave the EU and automatically fall into the Single Market. Because the free Single Market is what guarantees the basic freedoms between European countries.

Therefore, I am clearly advocating for a European Economic Area, but not for this monstrous superstructure that is currently being practiced—with tens of thousands of civil servants that nobody needs, who are paid far too much, and who are overreaching.

Just look at them: the CDU, Ursula von der Leyen, the ban on combustion engines here and there, CO2 taxes, heating laws, building energy policies, and things like that. Throw all these people out; we don’t need them. We don’t need this overreaching EU apparatus.

What we need is a free Single Market for European countries and, above all, we need free nations with secure borders. And that is why this whole EU belongs abolished, these people kicked out—they should go and get proper jobs—and we should all have a free exchange of goods and services. Now, that would actually be progress.

."


Europe can always have free movement and common market without the EU bureaucracy.Without having their courts subjugated by the European Court of Human Rights.
This is what many don't see.

Putin joined the Council of Europe in 1996. They expelled Russia in 2022 ,whose relationship was strained by
_Its military actions in Chechnya, Georgia (2008), and the annexation of Crimea (2014).
_A consistently poor record of implementing judgments from the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).
_Amendments to its constitution that allowed Russian law to override international judgments.
_Withdrawing its army from Moldova.


The situation reached a breaking point with the unprovoked 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The EU bureaucracy is all about maintaining power and lording over EU subjects.

Both sides should allow voters make their decisions rather than influence outcomes via redistricting of maps.
The democrats demand census counts everyone including non citizens on US soil.They then use the census results to apportion congressional districts.
Effectively they are gaming the system when non citizens including illegal citizens are used to draw maps.
The democrat would never agree to end gerrymandering. Immigration is the chief method they use to turn a red state purple then blue.
( Plus also their commie policies drive away many from blue cities to red states who then turn those states blue).

Paulette Harlow: Participated in a physical blockade and "invasion" of a Washington, D.C. clinic, using force and obstruction to prevent access in 2020. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison.
Matthew Connolly: Barricaded himself in a Planned Parenthood bathroom for over three hours in Philadelphia, causing the clinic to evacuate and reschedule 44 appointments. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail in a separate Michigan case for trespassing and disorderly conduct related to a different clinic incident.
Adam Smith-Connor: Stood and prayed silently for his deceased son within a "buffer zone" around a UK abortion clinic in 2022. He was convicted, given a two-year conditional discharge, and ordered to pay £9,000 in court costs.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce: Was arrested twice for silent prayer inside a UK buffer zone. Her charges were dismissed in the first case due to lack of evidence, and she received compensation from the police for her unjust treatment. She currently faces new charges.
Lauren Handy: Was the primary leader of the 2020 D.C. clinic blockade in which Paulette Harlow was involved. She was sentenced to 57 months in prison, the longest sentence of her co-defendants.
