President Donald Trump returns from Switzerland, having accomplished his chief goal. He succeeded in carving out a deal allowing use of Greenland as a forward base to protect North America from an Russian missile attacks. The United States also will receive some shared control over rare earth minerals that abound in Greenland.
An Air Force One scare occurred on the way to the World Economic Forum in Davos. A malfunctioning electrical system forced to plane back to Washington DC. Trump had to hitch a ride on another craft.
But he overcame the setback, just as he persevered to win a Greenland deal. No, it was not what he originally suggested, but Trump knew all along that he would have to make concessions and get a side deal. He simply wanted to make sure it was as sweet as possible. Here’s more from And We Know.
U.S. President Donald Trump goes right into the heart of the beast — the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland — to impress upon the Europeans that they must out a deal with the United States over Greenland. It doesn’t necessarily mean Greenland becomes a U.S. territory.
It could simply mean housing elements of the Golden Dome, the U.S. missile defense system that Trump plans to use to protect against any Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) fired from Russia against Washington D.C. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spells out varied options.
Trump highlighted all that the United States has done to protect Europe, ranging from stationing American troops in Germany to aiding the European Union’s campaign to safeguard the Ukraine. But he also rattled a stick, warning of tariffs and sterner measures if the security concerns of the United States go unaddressed.
Funny how now that the defense issue at hand involves North American, the Europeans aren’t so cooperative as they always expected from us. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
Mind you, not all of the Europeans are hardened globalists or absolute turncoats. There are leaders of individual nations taking a more open approach.
Here, commentator Steve Turley discusses the arguments of Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She said European and North American countries need to frame “a coordinated presence” in the Arctic region to prevent tensions and interference “from other actors.”
As the evening drew to a close, details leaked on a major new deal that will preserve Greenland’s independent status as well as its ties to Denmark and Europe, but there will apparently be provisions to allow the United States to proceed with the Golden Dome.
The United States will also employ its expertise with mining to help Greenland develop its rare earth minerals. This will provide for a new source of these minerals to be obtained without bending the knee to Communist China or Russia.
This looks like a classic example of The Art of the Deal. Trump wanted changes, but had no desire to invade Greenland or seize it as territory. He simply wanted this stretch of North America to reflect some North American sensibilities and needs. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.
Is there a connection between EMPs (electromagnetic pulses) and rare earth metals? How about Greenland and the Woolsey Fire outside Los Angeles?
How does Fort Huachuca in Arizona and the political assassination of Charlie Kirk fit into the picture? Or investigative journalists like Candace Owens?
Finally, is there a connection to Jeffrey Epstein? Or to the psyops Satanists like Paul Vallely who led propaganda campaigns within the U.S. military?
Lots to unpack here, in what seems like a simple AI jig generated by citizens’ journalist George Webb.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: You’ll have to watch on YouTube because the Google goons are trying to censor Webb, as usual! You can’t have an informed public. They have to be bathed in a web of secrets and lies!)
America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela.
Glenn Beck sits down with BlazeTV hosts Steve Deace (@deaceshow) and Liz Wheeler (@lizwheeler) along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025.
Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.
In a few years, America may not need to buy critical minerals from China anymore, says synthetic chemist and nanotechnologist James Tour. Why? Because of a method called flash Joule heating that he and his team have been studying at Rice University.
China currently has a near monopoly on global processing capacity of critical minerals, including rare earths. These are essential to much of our modern economy, from electronics to defense to medical devices. America has access to plenty of rare earth reserves, but very little capacity to process and refine them. Rebuilding these incredibly complex supply chains independent of China is a major uphill battle.
But Tour and his team have pioneered a process that allows quick extraction of rare earths from something we have abundantly available: electronic and industrial waste. “We realized that we could take certain materials, say industrial waste like fly ash … flash it, and get rare earth elements to come out,” Tour says.
The same method can be used to extract rare earths from mine tailings—the leftover, toxic material of old mines that used to be too expensive to process. “So there’s huge availability of this. And if you recycle it—metals are infinitely recyclable,” Tour says. Here’s more from The Epoch Times.
Trump BTFO’s (“:blows the f— out”) the Australian Ambassador (and it’s really funny) 🤣. Kevin Rudd just got Trumped — literally.
During Anthony Albanese’s big minerals-deal visit to the White House, Donald Trump publicly roasted Australia’s pompous US ambassador, Kevin Rudd, right to his smug little face. 😬 Here’s more from Bearing.
American president Donald Trump has negotiated a new trade deal with communist China that includes them lifting embargoes that forbade the sale of rare earth minerals to the United States. Trump’s Secretary for Commerce Howard Lutnick played a key role in negotiating the deal.
Here, Styxhexenhammer666 says the deal should pave the way for continued prosperity — and peace — between both the United States and China.
Styx says Trump needs to go to work now to reignite a warmer relationship with North Korea. After all, Trump already made overtures with North Korea his last term. That nation holds the world’s largest, known deposit of rare earth minerals.
Although China seems to support Vladimir Putin in the Russia-Ukraine war, Xi Jinping is secretly working behind the scenes to screw the Russians. And the Chinese economy is the ticket!
China Uncensored’s Chris Chappell digs into the alleged no-limits friendship that has plenty of limits.
More than 2.34 billion tons of rare earth minerals have been discovered in the vicinity of Halleck Creek, north of Laramie, in the state of Wyoming. The minerals include oxides of neodymium, praseodymium, samarium, dysprosium and terbium.
Previously, Communist China was thought to have a virtual monopoly on these rare earth compounds, but the U.S. mother lode is at least 20 times larger than what the Chinese can tap. These compounds are used in smartphones, electric vehicles, airplanes and for other industrial purposes.
The Edge of Wonder‘s Rob Counts touches upon the implications of the discovery here, while also delving into Chernobyl’s anticancer wolves. Also on tap: Katy Perry gets a miraculous or angelic sign from “the beyond” after her manager Martin Kirkup (who also managed Counting Crows, Tracy Chapman, the Go-Go’s, Adam Lambert, and more) passes away. There’s also another look at the 2024 Super Bowl and how it made some unexpected history.
Who’s really calling the shots in Joe Biden’s America? Here’s a rundown of how nearly all of Biden’s policies are designed to reduce America’s independence and influence, while increasing the stranglehold over our nation by the Communist Chinese. Energy independence is the key battleground, but also the food, clothing and households goods marketplaces, as well as esoteric markets like those for rare earth elements or the American power grid. Here, you will learn about each of these markets, as well as China’s brutal treatment of its minority populations including the Tibetans and Uyghur Muslims. A second part is promised soon.
