Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene labels Democrats ‘pedophiles’ during 60 Minutes interview

Controversial Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has let loose during a 60 Minutes interview.

She even used the prime time CBS slot to defend her previous decision to call the Democrats pedophiles.

Greene says she’s been called names and insulted non-stop since being elected to office.

The outspoken Republican told host Leslie Stahl she’s been labeled a racist and anti-semitic.

Greene says this is all false and all she is guilty of is “telling the truth”.

Greene has recently been called out for comments such as saying any senator who voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was “pro-pedophile just like she is”.

Brown Jackson is the first black woman to sit on the high court.

Meanwhile, Greene has petitioned for a U.S. national divorce, peddled false claims about the 2020 presidential election, COVID-19 vaccines and immigrants arriving at the southern border.

She’s also taken aim at gender-affirming care for trans youth, introducing a bill that would outlaw more than a dozen medical interventions for trans youth if passed.

Is President Biden securing a ‘made in America’ supply chain for critical minerals?

Published

on

Rare earths elements are responsible for some of the most important materials involved in electric vehicle production, battery making, renewable energy systems and technology manufacturing.

 
Last year, President Joe Biden said he wanted to make rare earths an important domestic policy initiative and he signed an executive order to review gaps in the domestic supply chains for rare earths, medical devices, chips, and other key resources.

The Department of Energy announced a $30 million initiative to tap into researching and securing the U.S. domestic supply chain for rare earths and other important minerals in battery-making production.

But at the same time, President Biden also blocked the mining of rare earth minerals on more than 225,000 acres of federal land for more than 20 years.

Is it possible for the U.S. to change course and again have a seat at the table in producing rare earths elements?

To discuss further, Luisa Moreno the President of the Defense Metals Corp. joined us.

Is the West too reliant on Chinese rare earth exports?

Published

Rare earths elements are needed to make iPhones, advanced batteries, military night-vision goggles and MRI machines. According to the U.S. Genealogical Survey, China was responsible for 80% of rare earths imports in 2019.

 
Critical earth minerals are a necessity for humans around the world.

They are essential to our modern-day lifestyles and critical in the creation of things such as iPhones, electric vehicles, and advanced precision weapons.

While the United States is dependent on other countries for many minerals, there is no country that America is more dependent on than China. And all these minerals come at a price.

Rare earths elements are needed to make everything from the technology we use every day like smart refrigerators and advanced batteries to night-vision goggles used by the military to MRI machines which are crucial to the medical field.

Many in the government, business, and science sectors have long raised concerns about how to ensure the West’s continued supply of these critical earth minerals.

The United States was once a dominant player in the rare earths supply chain, but for decades, that global market has been dominated by China.

According to the U.S. Genealogical Survey, China was responsible for 80% of rare earths imports in 2019.

Last year, the Biden administration even touted a new plan for the United States to rival China and end their decades-long dominance of rare earth metals market.

So, how reliant is the West on Chinese rare earth exports?

As Ukraine braces a summer of violence, Kyiv is pleading for more air support from NATO

 
U.S. President Joe Biden recently granted his backing for Kyiv’s pilots to be trained on F-16 fighter jets.

These jets can be used in a variety of combat scenarios, including air-to-air or gound-attacks.

In fact, the U.S. Air Force has described these jets as a “relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system.

Thousands of F-16s have been sent around the world. However, Kyiv has been requesting for this support for months.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky believes there is “substantial progress” in convincing western allies to equip Kyiv with fighter jets.

Zelensky said the jets are a “key component” of gaining an advantage over Russian forces.
