Lithium. It’s Not The End Of The World As We Know It
Oil was a critical resource we were running out of, until we were not running out. Same with Lithium.

Oil was a critical resource we were running out of, until we were not running out. Same with Lithium.
If Part I was about how we got here, Part II is about the uncomfortable truth most Americans are living with now: the system hasn’t collapsed—but it no longer works the way it used to. We are in the uncanny valley between order and chaos, where institutions still function, shelves are stocked, paychecks clear, and elections are held—but trust is gone, legitimacy is fractured, and nothing feels durable.
Epstein sits before the camera not as a man crushed by exposure, but as one still convinced the rules apply differently to him. He speaks in abstractions. He talks about systems, reputation, philanthropy, misunderstanding. The victims are nowhere to be found—not as people, not as faces, not as lives interrupted. They exist only as legal problems, public-relations complications, inconvenient footnotes to an otherwise impressive résumé. This is not the language of remorse. It is the language of a man who believes morality is negotiable if one is clever enough.
Americans didn’t wake up one morning and decide they wanted to live under surveillance, financial precarity, endless war, and algorithmic babysitting. This wasn’t a vote. It wasn’t even a debate. It was a process—slow, technical, wrapped in flags and fear, and sold as “temporary” at every stage.
Modern political Christianity has a dangerous habit of confusing compassion with chaos. Somewhere between yard signs and virtue-signaling sermons, the Church was told that borders are immoral, laws are unloving, and governments exist primarily to replace God as the ultimate provider. None of that is biblical. In fact, Scripture teaches almost the opposite.
What is the main opposition to requiring or teaching Western Civilization survey courses? Why is teaching the considerable and important political and social contributions Western civilization has made to the world a bad thing?
For decades, political science was the academic punchline—the major you picked when calculus broke you, engineering filtered you out, and chemistry made you cry. Everyone knew the line: If you can’t do anything else, go poli-sci. Parents nodded approvingly because “college is good for you,” administrators cashed tuition checks, and students emerged four years later fluent in theory, jargon, and grievance—but functionally incapable of building, fixing, or running anything in the real world. What no one admitted at the time was that political science didn’t just produce underemployed graduates; it quietly trained a generation in how to dismantle systems they never understood and could never rebuild.
In 2019, Bernie Sanders said, “Billionaires should not exist.” Last year, he said, “We have a government of billionaires, by billionaires, and for billionaires.”
President Obama’s “leadership” and actions that fateful day of 9 December 2016 was the stuff of legends, near unprecedented in the annals of American political history. From the standpoint of precedent, it likely ranks in the top five or so of the scummiest, most criminal (conspiracy theory) dirty trick political actions in albeit somewhat short American history.
Obamagate: The Criminal Conspiracy Of Barrack Hussein Obama Previous articles have plainly laid out the nefarious plot and plans-the lengths-that President Obama was willing to go to in his quest to undermine Trump. Obamagate pretty much took up where the infamous Spygate somewhat left off as Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) wandered off in bafflement, muttering …
The facts were never complicated: an armed civilian inserted himself into a volatile confrontation with federal agents during an active operation. That’s not a courtroom debate. That’s a high-adrenaline environment where every decision carries lethal stakes. Rights don’t suspend physics. They don’t freeze human reaction time. They don’t override use-of-force laws that have existed for decades. You can be legally armed and still behave recklessly enough to trigger a fatal chain of events.
If you hate your political opponents so much that you bring in foreigners to stay in power, you’ve set the stage for a civil war. A civil war unbound by the Geneva Convention
“Starting February 1st, we’re not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities, because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens and it breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come,” Trump said.
All that changed on 9 December 2016 when Obama grasped the ring and undertook-took ownership-of the Russia Russia Russia Pee Pee Hoax-and the Russian election interference smear scheme-and put it on steroids to go after a duly elected American President.
There’s a pattern to what’s happening, and pretending it’s spontaneous civic outrage is like pretending a tornado just happens to assemble itself politely out of spare clouds.
A color revolution isn’t primarily about violence. Violence is sloppy. It scares donors and ruins the optics. The real weapon is narrative. The objective is to convince enough people that the existing authority has morally expired. Once that belief spreads, the government doesn’t collapse from force — it collapses from ridicule and doubt.
Everything Obama pursued in his hubris to follow his aberrant agenda in seeming defiance to public opinion and common sense, pales in comparison to the illegal, unethical and immoral actions he pursued to undermine-in turn-candidate Trump, President Elect Trump, and President Trump.
US Senator John Thune, Senate Majority Leader, was quoted in the latest episode of The Dakota Scout’s weekly Scouting Lounge podcast as saying “the dark side of the story is that ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is real,” as was written in their follow-on commentary on 4 January. In the podcast, Sen. Thune named names of some …
Alan, a Baby Boomer and a veteran, watched in disgust as tasks were transferred to white men (without raises or promotions) because the DEI hires, who could not be demoted or fired, were not capable of handling them. AND the rules! Only straight able-bodied white men had to follow HR’s rules.
There’s a legitimate reason or two why many of us are…underwhelmed by the Donald Trump Administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga. We see the Epstein List (to use the prevailing euphemism) as a key plug in the retaining wall maintaining the fetid and festering cess pool that is DC.
