Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
I need to give you credit for something and I'm being serious. You're much more honest than SSG. You don't really lie about anything, rather, you just refuse to answer before it gets to that point. SSG will lie straight to your face. That's for your honesty on this subject.
I'm curious, what made America a terrorist nation and what changed to make you change your mind?Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Biden administration announces plans to strengthen critical supply chains
The Biden administration announced on a series of steps designed to strengthen critical U.S. supply chains, building up domestic manufacturing capabilities for key products and addressing existing vulnerabilities.
President Joe Biden in February ordered a 100-day interagency review of domestic supply chains.
The outcome of this review and the resulting policy recommendations make up a new report totaling several hundred pages, due to be released on Tuesday.
The report’s initial recommendations focus on four products critical to the U.S. economy: large capacity lithium batteries, rare earth minerals, semiconductors and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
- Large capacity lithium batteries: The Department of Energy is aiming to release a 10-year plan to develop a domestic lithium battery supply chain capable of producing the batteries that power electric vehicles. The agency’s Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program will distribute $17 billion in an effort to support new research and manufacturing efforts in the United States.
- Rare earth minerals: The Department of Interior will lead a task force to identify sites where critical minerals could be produced and processed in the United States.” The report said the U.S. will develop the capacity for “sustainable production, refining, and recycling” of the 17 rare earth metals used in cellphones, cars and magnets, while meeting high environmental standards.
- Semiconductors: As the nation grapples with a chip shortage that has idled major auto manufacturing plants, the White House said it will work with the private sector to increase supply-chain transparency.
- Advanced pharmaceutical ingredients: The Department of Health and Human Services will use authority granted under the Defense Production Act to commit approximately $60 million to “develop novel platform technologies to increase domestic manufacturing capacity for API.”
In addition to these steps, designed to boost supplies of specific products, the administration also announced several broader initiatives.
To help train the workers that will be needed to staff these new projects, the White House will announce $100 million in additional grants to support state-led apprenticeship expansion efforts. The grants will be administered by the Department of Labor.
The Department of Energy will announce a new policy that requires awardees of DOE research and development grants to “substantially manufacture those products in the United States.”
Along with these efforts to bolster domestic supply chains, the Biden administration will also announce new steps to combat “unfair foreign trade practices,” which it says have contributed to the erosion of supply chains around the world.
One of these will be the creation of a “trade strike force” led by the U.S. Trade Representative’s office. The strike force will aim to identify “unilateral and multilateral” enforcement actions the United States can take to punish countries that it believes are engaging in unfair trade practices. According to a senior administration official, the strike force will focus on developing U.S.-China trade policies.Comment

Guatemalans Tell Kamala Harris to 'Go Home': 'Trump Won'
root causesU.S. State Departmentbeing sold as humanitarian aid, it seems that many Guatemalans just want equality of opportunity, individual freedom and to be left alone by DemocratsLGBT agendareligious freedom based on this anti-scientific nonsense.
If the Biden administrationwants leftism to stayleftism does need to be confined to the United States, where it should be defeated.
This all leaves a final question: Why is the vice president of the United States in Guatemala instead of at the U.S. southern border, where the crisis is occurring and Americans are hurting because of it?
The answer is that the Biden administration has painted itself into a corner.
