Here's the info for those not wanting to dig.... The seven rare earth materials mentioned in the X post and related sources that China has restricted for export are: Samarium Gadolinium Terbium Dysprosium Lutetium Scandium Yttrium

Slavery was probably 100x sicker than what we think it was. I really see why older black folks don't rock with white people at all. They've seen some real atrocities in their life.

Liberal tourist says it’s “really sad” seeing the reflecting pool cleaned, sealed, and being refilled.

One of the more tedious processes in counting California's vote is that every mailed-in and dropped off ballot has to go through a signature verification process. An LA County elections worker today tells me California confirms your ballot signature by checking it against all of the signatures CA has on file including your registration signature, previous ballots or DMV. Kinda makes you wonder why not just ask for an ID up front and potentially eliminate all the backlog from the post election signature checks.

Taiwan’s democracy at work. Every vote is held up so that it is visible to the public. The result is shouted out, repeated, then tallied on a visible sheet of paper. Anyone can watch, take pictures, or film. When the ballot box is empty, staff show the public that it really is.

How tf does it actually looks good

The US government has documented UAP encounters consistently since 1947. Not fringe sightings — signed military affidavits, classified astronaut debriefs, routine Air Force mission reports, FBI witness interviews. The phenomenon is real, physical, and has been officially known for 80 years. The craft share consistent characteristics across all eras: no wings, no exhaust, no radar return, no IFF signal, demonstrating instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic speed without thermal signature, and transmedium travel between air, space and water. Nothing in human engineering explains this. The cover-up wasn't conspiracy theory - it was policy. Roswell witnesses describe a deliberate switch from "flying saucer" to "weather balloon" within hours. The 2024 UAP Disclosure Act explicitly states that FOIA failed, classification was abused, and elected officials were denied oversight of their own government's knowledge. That same legislation defines "non-human intelligence" and "biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence" as operative legal categories, and authorizes the federal government to seize privately held recovered materials via eminent domain. Governments don't write law around things they believe don't exist. The disclosure is happening now for specific reasons: living witnesses are dying, private contractors may hold recovered materials the government can no longer control, commercial sensors have made continued denial operationally impossible, and military encounters appear to have increased significantly in active operational theaters. The deepest implication isn't the craft or the technology — it's that if even a fraction of the documented record is accurate, one of the most significant events in human history occurred, was witnessed by credible military personnel, and was deliberately hidden while civilization was told a different story for 80 years. We are not at the beginning of this story. We are at the point where a government that has managed this secret for eight decades has concluded the truth is coming regardless, and is now trying to control the pace and framing of what we learn. That calculation itself tells you everything about the weight of what's still being held back.

The 4-3 majority opinion is a 20-page rambling discourse on semantics drawing on Ralph Waldo Emerson and Samuel Johnson. The dissent by the Chief Justice concisely shreds it by quoting the law and VA Constitution. Four people overturned 3 million votes, and it’s 1000% political.
