The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is less than 10 days away from falling to its lowest level since August 1983- over 15,625 days ago- a level not seen since the SPR's initial fill-up that began in 1977.
Nobody has seen Tom Kean in months, yet he’s been insider trading, and he introduced a bill on Friday. What the fuck is going on in Congress? Set aside partisanship for a second—how the fuck is this acceptable?
The CCP’s leverage over rare earth processing is still a live Western vulnerability. The real risk isn’t one headline restriction; it’s discovering too late that defense, autos, power systems, and robotics all share the same bottleneck.
On this day in 1893 at the World's Columbia Exposition. Whitcomb Judson of Chicago patented the "hookless fastening," which we know today as the zipper. The Museum of Science of Industry at the World's Fair was known as the Palace of Fine Arts.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.
