Trump: Could Face 40 Years Behind Bars.
Real Or Alleged Crimes.
Donald Trump seems to be revving his engine to have another run at the White House. He hopes and there does seem to be massive support out there for him, to serve another four years as the Nation's President. It seems the more Trump is hounded or more revelations come to the fore, good or bad, his supporters are standing with him.
What is it that Trump stands for that many Americans like? Probably, his don't care attitude about what he says and does. His anti-woke agenda attract people to his cause, however, rotten to the core, he might or not be. It seems his followers are prepared to overlook any misdemeanours this multi-millionaire/billionaire man has done.
Trump from the outset before and after entering politics, was a maverick. Like Marmite, his is a flavour you either love or hate. Trump boasted of a close relationship with Vlad 'The Invader. Mr. Trump boasted that if he were in power now, the Ukraine War would be over. He attacked and killed a top Iranian Commander allegedly linked to acts of terror. He had good relations with Kim Jong-un and there were talks between the two leaders that echoed those of the 80s with Reagan and Gorbachev.
Trump's supporters are not only European-Americans though they probably make up the biggest support base. Trump has Black, Hispanic, and some Native American support too. His supporters are mostly on the right and on the Evangelical Christian Israel-supporting lobby. Whatever you think of this 'Tango' faced man during his time in the White House the US or the world has never seen anything like him.
Trump's run to the White House and his nomination to be the Republican candidate seems assured. Unless someone like Florida Governor Ron De Santis trumps Trump (no pun intended) to be the Republican candidate to face Joe Biden.
The 40 or so charges Trump is facing plus others recently added might stop him in his tracks. Trump could face 40 years in prison in which case he would be long dead. With his business and political career being well and truly dead with him.
Donald Trump allegedly asked a member of his staff at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to destroy camera evidence. To thwart, it is alleged, a team of federal investigators looking into the misdemeanours of the former President. Obviously, Trump will be employing the best attornies money can buy. So one would expect, Trump, to be exonerated of all his alleged wrongdoing. Two of Trump's staff are also facing charges of conspiring with the ex-Presient.
Trump has called these allegations of the prosecutor "deranged". Trump always complains of a 'witch-hunt' against him. And some would say "Well he would say that wouldn't he"? Trump sets himself up as the Champion of the little person fighting their corner. He is currently setting himself to be a martyr to the system because he dared to challenge it. To Trump and his following these wrongdoings were allegedly imagined or real by his opponents to get him out of the way. That's why the ex-President is indeed a martyr to his 'MAGA' cause. It makes him attractive to those that see themselves as powerless in the face of big government. Whether Trump told people to stage the January insurrection will forever be debated.
Trump's supporters or even those of no support can see the hypocrisy of it all though. Biden is also accused of wrongdoing along with his Son Hunter. So it is reasonable to ask why is Trump (love him or hate him) is being investigated and not Biden. Politicians whether of the right or left are human beings. Prone to corruption and wrongdoing, however, well-meaning or not they might be. That, however, does not excuse their misdemeanours while in office. As so-called servants of the people, they should know better but they don't.

Blair: Future Generation Will Rejoin EU.
When the UK voted to leave the European Union, our history changed. Some saw it as a fresh start for Britain, others saw it as a disaster. 52% voted to leave in 2016 as opposed to 48% who wanted to stay. The Tory government pre-Boris Johnson seemed to procrastinate about leaving the EU. The public had spoken whether the government liked it or not. The general election of 2019 delivered a landslide for Boris Johnson. Johnson said he would honour the vote to leave referendum. And so he did, sort of. The UK left the European Union with a deal but not a perfect deal. It left Northern Ireland as part of the UK but still under the EU. Sunak put that right or did he?

Exclusive: Bipartisan Plan Aims to Create a U.S. Reserve for Critical Minerals
In a rare moment of bipartisan unity, U.S. lawmakers are advancing a proposal that could reshape America’s economic and national security strategy for decades to come. The plan, revealed through congressional discussions and policy drafts, aims to establish a strategic U.S. reserve for critical minerals — resources essential for modern technologies, clean energy systems, and defense manufacturing. As global competition intensifies and supply chains grow more fragile, Washington is increasingly aware that control over critical minerals may prove just as important as control over oil once was. Why Critical Minerals Matter More Than Ever Critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earth elements, and graphite form the backbone of today’s advanced economy. They are used in electric vehicle batteries, renewable energy infrastructure, smartphones, semiconductors, medical devices, and military hardware. Despite their importance, the United States relies heavily on foreign sources for many of these materials — often from geopolitically sensitive regions. China, in particular, dominates the global processing and refining of rare earth elements, raising concerns in Washington about strategic dependence. Lawmakers from both parties now agree on one point: the U.S. cannot afford to remain vulnerable when access to essential minerals could be weaponized in future geopolitical conflicts. What the Bipartisan Plan Proposes The proposed legislation would create a federally managed reserve of critical minerals, similar in concept to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Instead of crude oil, the stockpile would consist of carefully selected minerals deemed essential to economic stability, technological leadership, and national defense. Key elements of the plan include: Identifying minerals critical to U.S. industry and security Authorizing the federal government to purchase and store these minerals Supporting domestic mining, processing, and recycling Creating safeguards against sudden global supply disruptions The proposal has drawn support from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, signaling broad recognition that mineral security transcends party lines. National Security at the Center of the Debate One of the strongest arguments behind the initiative is national security. Defense systems — from fighter jets to missile guidance technologies — depend on materials that are often sourced from overseas. Any disruption, whether due to trade disputes, sanctions, or conflict, could leave the U.S. military exposed. Supporters of the bill argue that a strategic mineral reserve would act as a buffer, ensuring that essential industries and defense contractors can continue operating even during global supply shocks. This concern has grown sharper amid rising tensions with China and increasing awareness of how supply chains can be leveraged as political tools. Economic Stability and Clean Energy Goals Beyond security, the plan also ties directly into America’s economic future. The transition to clean energy — a priority for the Biden administration and many lawmakers — will dramatically increase demand for minerals like lithium and cobalt. Electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines all rely on materials that are currently in short supply or heavily imported. Without a stable and secure mineral supply, the U.S. risks slowing its clean energy transition, increasing costs for consumers, and falling behind global competitors. Proponents argue that a national reserve would help stabilize prices, reduce market volatility, and encourage long-term investment in U.S. manufacturing. Environmental and Community Concerns Not everyone is fully convinced. Environmental groups and local communities have raised concerns that expanding domestic mining could lead to environmental damage, water contamination, and disruption of Indigenous lands. Past mining projects in the U.S. have left lasting ecological scars, fueling skepticism about rapid expansion. To address these concerns, lawmakers behind the bipartisan plan emphasize that the reserve would not rely solely on new mining. Recycling, urban mining, and improved processing technologies are expected to play a major role. Supporters also stress the need for strong environmental safeguards and community consultation as part of any expansion. A Shift in U.S. Industrial Strategy The push for a critical minerals reserve reflects a broader shift in U.S. policy thinking. For decades, America relied on global markets to supply raw materials cheaply and efficiently. That assumption is now being challenged by trade wars, pandemics, climate disruptions, and geopolitical rivalry. The bipartisan proposal signals a return to strategic planning and industrial policy, areas once considered politically controversial but now increasingly mainstream. Similar strategies are already being pursued by the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, all of whom have recognized the risks of overdependence on limited suppliers. Challenges Ahead While momentum is building, the proposal still faces hurdles. Funding the reserve could require billions of dollars, and lawmakers will need to agree on which minerals qualify and how much should be stockpiled. Storage, market impact, and coordination with private industry also present logistical challenges. There is also the risk that government intervention could distort markets or discourage private investment if not carefully designed. Despite these concerns, bipartisan support suggests that lawmakers see inaction as a greater risk. Why Bipartisanship Matters In today’s polarized political climate, bipartisan cooperation is rare — and meaningful. The fact that lawmakers from both sides support the creation of a critical minerals reserve underscores how seriously the issue is being taken. It reflects a growing consensus that economic resilience and national security require long-term planning, not short-term political gains. If passed, the legislation could mark one of the most significant shifts in U.S. resource policy in generations. Final Thoughts The bipartisan plan to create a U.S. reserve for critical minerals highlights a changing world where raw materials are once again strategic assets. As competition for resources intensifies and clean energy demands soar, securing access to essential minerals is no longer optional — it is foundational. Whether this proposal becomes law will depend on negotiations in Congress, but its message is already clear: America is rethinking how it protects its economic future in an increasingly uncertain world.
