Why did the ‘red wave’ fall flat on its face?

Published

on

The red wave that so many were expecting has seemingly fallen flat on its face, and one can expect the Democrats are breathing a cautious sigh of relief today

We’re standing by to take you live to the White House as President Biden delivers his first remarks since the polls closed on Tuesday.

As it stands, the Republican party will likely regain control of the House, but the Senate still hangs in the balance.

All eyes are now on Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

In Georgia, the contest between Republican Herschel Walker and Democrat Raphael Warnock is just too close to call.

It’s likely this will be the seat which ultimately decides what party controls the Senate, but we won’t know the result until December 6 when there is an election runoff.

In the key state of Pennsylvania, Democrat John Fetterman, the man who suffered a stroke in May, has defeated his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz.

Regardless, if the Democrats do lose control of either chamber, the GOP will be able to block President Joe Biden’s agenda.

Meanwhile, in Florida, governor Ron DeSantis is staring down the barrel of a 2024 presidential bid after a convincing win in his state.

Is the U.S. debt deal bad fiscal policy?

Published

on

While President Joe Biden and Republican leadership came to an agreement on the debt limit—some lawmakers say the fiscal policy is a bad deal and does not rein in spending.

 
The executive branch and Congress tried to strike a deal about the debt limit as the country marched closer to defaulting.

The Treasury has been warning that the government could run out of money sometime in the beginning of June and would likely default on some bills if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling.

Democrats have insisted on raising the debt limit without preconditions.

But, Republicans say President Joe Biden and the Democrats are playing Russian roulette with America’s economy after a two-year spending binge that brought 40-year high inflation and pushed the nation’s debt to over $31-trillion.

While President Biden and Republican leadership came to an agreement on the debt limit—many lawmakers say the fiscal policy is a bad deal and does not rein in spending.

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.
