Tim Walz and the hidden story of Twin Metals

 

https://alphanews.org/tim-walz-and-the-hidden-story-of-twin-metals/

 

Walz’s aggressive, anti-development approach, especially on energy and the environment, mirrors that of failing socialist nations.

 

Get ready for a new, refined version of Walz, where he is cast as a moderate, pro-worker Midwesterner—meant to balance out Kamala’s left-wing liberalism. But Walz is not that and American steelworkers, their families and the communities surrounding the Twin Metals mine of Northeast Minnesota know this all too well.

 

Northeastern Minnesota is blessed with a plethora of critical and strategic metals that are key components to our modern life. There is an area referred to as the Duluth Complex that, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, is home to the largest undeveloped deposits of nickel, cobalt and platinum group minerals (PGM) in the world.

 

The Twin Metals mine in particular is positioned to be a state-of-the-art underground operation within the Duluth Complex using advanced and precise methods of extraction that could deliver these much-needed metals to growing markets.

 

Given that these metals are key components to cell phones and cars—both gas-powered and electric—as well as solar panels and windmills, the location of these minerals here in the United States should be good news. This should especially be true for an administration like Biden-Harris that is hell-bent on restructuring our entire utility and vehicle industries, so they are more “green.”

 

From a practical perspective, this type of restructuring will require an immense amount of the minerals that are located at, and very accessible in, the Twin Metals mine. Globally, one estimate suggests that to reach electrification goals the world will need to produce the same amount of copper in the next 25 years as humanity has produced in the last 5,000.

 

Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration not only cancelled two long-standing mineral leases at the Twin Metals mine, but they also imposed a 20-year moratorium on the surrounding area. This decision imperiled the 750 direct jobs and 1,500 spinoff jobs in the surrounding community that the mine would have supported.

 

Many of these jobs were for United Steelworkers who were set to buildout and operate the $1.7 billion mine. As often as the Biden-Harris administration talked about creating green energy jobs, they took numerous actions that cancelled the ones that actually did exist.

 

Walz oversaw the entire debacle. And when the Twin Metals mine and local jobs organizations asked for a lifeline in the aftermath of the Biden-Harris cancellation, he answered it with … more process! Specifically, Walz’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) allowed the mine to explore surrounding state and private lands for minerals but reiterated there would be no actual mining, and such a decision would likely be years into the future after “lengthy environmental review and permitting.”

 

In other, non-bureaucratic words: It’s paralysis by analysis for the project.

 

These cancelled mining projects and jobs would have been done consistent with U.S. safety and environmental standards. Instead, China will reap the benefits of the Biden-Harris cancellation and Walz’s complacency.

 

Beyond concern for negative environmental impacts, some reports have found that foreign sourced minerals are mined using child forced labor. From a national security purview, this anti-development approach is equally damaging as U.S. reliance on foreign-sourced minerals continues to grow. Specifically, for the minerals buried in abundance at the Twin Metals mine, the U.S. is over 50% import reliant for nickel, 79% reliant for platinum, 76% reliant for cobalt, and 37% reliant for copper.

 

Those who have seen Walz work up close, including Republican Rep. Pete Stauber, have sounded the alarm on the consequences of his anti-mining, anti-energy policies. Under his watch Minnesota electricity costs have skyrocketed for residents.

 

For businesses, it’s even worse. Minnesota now boasts the highest industrial electricity prices in the Midwest.

 

Walz’s folksy appearance aside, he has embraced California-style climate zealotry to the extreme. He signed his state up for “100 percent carbon free electricity by 2040” which is estimated to cost billions of dollars, double electricity prices by 2034, lead to blackouts and kill jobs.

 

He also wants to ban gas-powered vehicles in the process.

 

Walz’s aggressive, anti-development approach, especially on energy and the environment, mirrors that of failing socialist nations. It is no wonder Minnesota has experienced significant downfalls under his leadership.

 

Regardless of how the media portrays him, they cannot erase his record of selling out the workers of Twin Metals mine to the liberal Left.

Legend: Fox News Cuts Off Trump Phone Interview on Kamala Convention Speech for Gutfeld! Show–So Trump Calls Greg Gutfeld Live on Air (Video)

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/legend-fox-news-cuts-trump-phone-interview-kamala/

 

Fox News cut off President Trump during a live phone interview reacting to Kamala Harris’ presidential nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night to go to a live broadcast of the Gutfeld! show.

 

The scheduled post-address interview had been going on for about ten minutes when co-hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum abruptly ended the interview and tossed to Greg Gutfeld who opened the show by saying, “That wasn’t my fault, Donald Trump.”

 

Liberal reporter Justin Baragona posted the video clip of Trump being cut off, thinking this was a dunk on Trump.

 

This might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

Gutfeld reminded Trump he has his number and invited him to call, saying, “Hey Donald! You have my number. Call me. (Laughs) I hope he’s not mad at me.”

 

And Trump called into the show. Gutfeld hilariously then cut Trump off after a few seconds of friendly conversation, saying, “Mr. P., I gotta go! I’ll see you!”

 

Video clip posted by the Trump campaign’s Dan Scavino, Jr.:

 

Priceless! Moments ago, live on @GutfeldFox, @GregGutfeld says “Hey Donald, you have my number, call me…I hope he’s not mad at me.”

DNC Fail: Viewers Rage After False Reports of Beyoncé Performance — ‘F*cking Liars Lied to Get People to Watch’

 

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2024/08/22/dnc-fail-viewers-rage-after-false-reports-of-beyonce-performance-fcking-liars-lied-to-get-people-to-watch/

 

Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “Fucking liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”

 

“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.

 

Other news outlets followed suit, reporting of Beyoncé’s imminent DNC performance, with Huff Post telling viewers to look out for the “Bey Watch.”

 

”Hearing that @Beyonce has arrived at the United Center!” MSNBC’s Katie Phang exclaimed hours before the giant letdown.

 

DNC viewers and attendees, however, were dismayed upon discovering the “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” songstress would be a no show, despite conflicting reports.

 

“Hearing lots of ‘But where is Beyoncé ?!’ leaving the DNC,” conservative blogger and author Katie Pavlich disclosed.

 

“There’s another crowd protesting and chanting ‘where is Beyonce,'” another X user revealed.

 

“After watching the #DNC2024 #DNCConvention Thursday, and hearing Kamala Harris speak, my thoughts are… Where was Beyoncé?” another lamented. “Democrats said Beyoncé and/or Taylor Swift would be at the #DNC, disappointing conclusion after being teased with promises of quality entertainment. #Fail.”

 

“Not @Beyonce leaking that lie that she would be at the convention to make sure yall tuned in to one of the most important nights of the #DNC2024! Ha! Touché Queen… touché,” another surmised.

 

“Boy, that was fast. They went from joy to the world to lying about Beyoncé. But then again, lying is what they do,” another said.

 

“I WANNA FIGHT WHOEVER STARTED THAT BEYONCE RUMOR,” another exclaimed, adding, “Abolish TMZ.”

 

“You needed to lie about Beyoncé to get people to watch this crap,” another X user wrote in response to a left-wing podcaster who argued, “We didn’t need Beyonce. We had Kamala.”

 

“You are sick & costed me everything. After you said Beyonce would be performing, I trusted you & placed my bets. I put almost $575k on it & lost my life savings. My wife is screaming & my kids are crying. I’m done TMZ. You ended me. I’ll lose my home & family. I have nothing but contempt for you,” another proclaimed.

 

“Fucking liars,” another commented. “All over the news today they said there is going to be a special guest, Probably Beyonce or Taylor Swift….. They lied to get people to watch…. Just proves they lie about everything… scumbags.”

 

They even lied about Beyonce so people would not leave early lol,” another X user laughed.

 

“They lied about Beyoncé performing at the DNC tonight because they knew it was the only way to get anyone to show up. Pathetic,” another stated.

 

“The DNC deliberately put out the rumor that Beyonce was gonna perform at the #DNCConvention2024 so that people would tune in, knowing that she was never booked to perform,” film producer Tariq Nasheed asserted.

 

“I could see two scenarios,” another user wrote. “1. TMZ caught up trying to break news. 2. TMZ coordinating with certain parties to share this news in hopes to drive viewership. Both are problematic.”

>This needs decompression to be notablized.

You can put in the effort to whine but not do what needs doing?

 

  1. A nationwide abortion ban

  2. Trump would ban in vitro fertilization

  3. Project 2025

  4. Book banning

  5. Greedflation

 

Rather than just come with a problem, maybe "here was the problem, and here is how I fixed it".

Just "There's a problem" are the people that get fired or remain forever unpromoted
