kamala is too stupid to distinguish between a mineral, an animal, and a vegetable!

Why not expand the concept, to commodities like toilet paper and cooking oil?

Maybe we should have a national oil reserve, too. Oh, wait, we do. You guys depleted it.

Typical American marxist BS. The USA has plenty of critical minerals, in the ground - how about actually permitting mines and mining them?

One Example: The Resolution Copper Mine in Arizona could supply 25% of all the copper used in the USA. It has been working on getting a permit to produce for nearly 25 years - without success, due to an endless stream of leftist environmental lawsuits and Fed.gov incompetence.

In May 2023, Biden’s Dept Interior put a hold on latest permit application for the mine.

Sounds like they want to be able to control and manipulate these essential resources to their own benefit.

Gee, you’d think they don’t have the best interests of the country in mind...

The Feds dumping strategic stockpiles or killing domestic mining for critical minerals thus putting the whole country at risk to disruptions from antagonistic suppliers has been going on for a LONG time.

Consider this thread on FR from 23 years ago.

She’s lying.

Harris doesn’t want a reserve to secure the county - she wants a reserve so she can deplete it - use it as a political slush fund - LIKE BIDEN USED THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.

Harris wants a slush fund... commieLa...

“...LITHIUM.......huh, why was that mentioned today when hundreds of people living on land with lithium have just been displaced due to flooding. Just weird....”

Well, how about a little conspiracy theory just to take the “weirdness: out of it.
Say the corrupt POSs knew it was there for awhile now. Say the corrupt POSs can control the weather. Their plan might be to destroy and displace any of the “unwashed masses” that might live and own that land. Grab the land from em, kinda like what went on with the Indians, and keep ALL mineral rights for their own wealth-building. They can NEVER let anyone of the great “unwashed masses” to accumulate any large amount of wealth...it’s just not...well...it just too unfair for the stupid to become wealthy; it’d be too much like old-time America, and besides, they become uncontrollable. The world doesn’t need another Trump or Musk running around loose.

No, we need Zinc, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and a wee bit of Selenium among others. Lithium, not so much. For our cell phones, maybe. But we can always just go back to Copper.

We should stockpile vitamins too. And protein.

She’s lying.

Harris doesn’t want a reserve to secure the county - she wants a reserve so she can deplete it - use it as a weapon or political slush fund - LIKE BIDEN USED THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE. She would give control of the reserve to her goons and thugs to use as a weapons against half the American people. CommieLa knows who she hates.

Commie La wants control.

Probably Emhoff has investments in minerals.

The minerals are safe and cozy right where they are. The gubmint cannot steal and sell them without some effort

Kamala Harris gets another cue card from the cuckoo nest staff.
