USA Rare Earth Just Broke Ground on a $1.2 Billion Magnet Complex. Here’s Why It Matters.


Key Points

  • USA Rare Earth recently started construction on its mineral processing plant in South Carolina.

  • The move represents a meaningful step toward achieving the company’s goal of being a vertically integrated provider of rare-earth metals and magnets.

  • This could help the company win more government contracts.

Last month, USA Rare Earth (NASDAQ: USAR) announced that it had started construction on its new rare-earth metal and manufacturing facility in Blacksburg, South Carolina. The $1.2 billion plant is expected to span roughly 800,000 square feet and represents a major step toward the company becoming a vertically integrated producer of rare-earth minerals and magnets.

Thanks to the company’s Texas mining location and acquisition of Brazil-based miner Serra Verde, USA Rare Earth’s mineral extraction capabilities are rapidly expanding. With the ground now broken on the company’s new refining facility, the company is taking big steps toward being a full-stack rare-earth minerals provider.

Making vertically integrated rare-earth sourcing a reality

Building the capacity to source rare-earth minerals and magnets domestically is becoming increasingly important for the U.S., and USA Rare Earth is positioned to play an important role in the project. Rare-earth minerals and magnets are essential materials for missile defense systems, sensors, electric vehicles, and other technologies that are important for military applications and the broader economy.

China currently dominates the markets for both rare-earth mining and processing, and this gives it a powerful bargaining chip and leverage against competitors and adversaries. While the ban on the export of rare-earth materials to the U.S. that China introduced last year has been temporarily suspended as part of trade negotiations between the two countries, there’s a good chance that relations between the competing world powers will become increasingly adversarial over the next decade and beyond. China’s dominance in rare-earth materials presents a substantial national security and economic risk, and USA Rare Earth is aiming to address this critical supply chain weakness.

USA Rare Earth is currently set up to have the U.S. government as its core customer, and offering comprehensive sourcing should make the company more appealing for contracts because it reduces supply chain complexity and reduces the number of vendors that government agencies have to deal with and depend on. Being a vertically integrated provider will increase the company’s revenue and earnings potential.

If the company’s refining plants are run reasonably efficiently, USA Rare Earth will be able to sell usable rare-earth materials and magnets at superior margins compared to what it would get if it outsourced processing to a third party. Pairing extraction and processing capabilities should make the company more attractive as a government partner, give the company greater control of its scaling timelines, and improve its long-term earnings opportunities.

Poland Coup D’état!


Poland is currently witnessing a calculated power grab as the globalist, pro-EU government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk attempts to dismantle the Constitutional Tribunal, a primary institution that has stood in the way of his administration’s agenda.

The situation has escalated into what the opposition rightly identifies as a coup d'état.

 On Friday, Tusk's administration suspended the Constitutional Tribunal’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, under the guise of restoring the "rule of law." 

This is the standard language used by liberal regimes to justify purging political opponents and consolidating control over the levers of the state.

The conflict centers on the following dynamics:Institutional Capture:
 The Tusk government, backed by the European Commission, is determined to force out judges and leadership appointed during the Law and Justice (PiS) era. 

They want to ensure the courts are staffed by officials who will defer to Brussels rather than uphold the Polish Constitution or defend national sovereignty.

Nationalist Resistance: 
Supporters of PiS and the nationalist opposition have gathered in massive protests outside the Tribunal. 

These citizens understand that when a government forcibly removes the leadership of a constitutional body, the goal is not "democracy," but the elimination of checks on executive power.

The EU Connection: 

Tusk’s primary allegiance is to the bureaucrats in Brussels.
 The EU has spent years weaponizing the "rule of law" narrative to punish Poland for its refusal to bow to their social and legal diktats.

 By neutralizing the Constitutional Tribunal, Tusk is fulfilling his promise to bring Poland back into total alignment with the European liberal consensus.

The President’s Stance:
 President Karol Nawrocki, a right-wing independent, has been forced to cut short foreign travel to address what he accurately described as a threat to internal security.

 He is attempting to broker talks, but Tusk’s faction is boycotting these efforts, signaling they have no interest in constitutional process or compromise.

Tusk is attempting to frame this move as necessary for "democracy," but the reality is that his government is shredding the legal order to silence dissent. 

This is the playbook of a regime that fears its own people: use the machinery of the state to crush nationalist institutions, label all opposition as enemies of democracy, and rely on the support of supranational powers like the EU to validate the destruction of national self-determination. 

The Polish people who are protesting in the streets are defending the last barriers against a regime that wants to turn Poland into just another vassal state of the Globalist European project.

Mexico Rejects Texas Claim to 9 Cartel-Controlled Islands in Rio Grande Border Dispute

Mexico’s government issued a statement condemning the claim by the State of Texas of nine islands in the waters of the Rio Grande with a long history of use by drug cartels to get drugs and migrants into the country.

In a statement from Mexico’s Foreign Relations Ministry, the country’s government said Texas lacks the authority to set borders with Mexico.

According to the document, a binational treaty from 1970 sets the border between the two nations. Only the federal governments of both countries can set the borders. In its statement, Mexico’s government said it would pursue the matter and ensure the treaties are respected.

Mexico’s response came soon after Texas General Land Office (GLO) Commissioner Dawn Buckingham announced Texas is claiming nine islands along the Rio Grande so U.S. and Texas law enforcement authorities could patrol and guard them to stop cartel activity in the region.

“Texas land will never become a safe haven for cartels, human traffickers, smugglers, or other criminal organizations,” Buckingham said in a prepared statement announcing the move.

The GLO’s determination encompasses nine islands, primarily in the Starr County area, totaling about 66 acres. As Breitbart Texas reported, those islands have been used by the Gulf Cartel and the Cartel Del Noreste faction to move shipments of drugs north.

In 2025, Los Zetas gunmen used one of those islands near Fronton, Texas, to hide while they fired at U.S. law enforcement, Breitbart Texas reported.  Due to a poor response from Mexican authorities, the gunmen were able to escape south. The following day, authorities stormed the island and found a narco-camp that had been used by the gunmen to hide while they provided security for their smuggling operations.

Leftist Candidate Accidentally Emails Own Notes to Reporters, Admits She's Terrified for Own Safety from Islamists in Party

She’s worried about putting her family in danger — but has no problem with putting her people at risk if it’s the means to power.

That’s the unintended message from a leftist candidate for mayor of Germany’s capital who inadvertently emailed notes meant for internal use to a reporter for one of the country’s best-known publications.

And she never wanted the public to know it.
As Politico Europe reported Thursday, Elif Eralp, the Left Party’s candidate for mayor of Berlin, returned a transcript of her interview with a journalist for Der Spiegel that included notes she had written for her staff.

In the interview, according to Politico Europe, Eralp was asked about anti-Semitism among elements in her party. She acknowledged that “boundaries had been crossed at some campaign events,” as the publication put it.

When the journalist asked specifically if she was referring to a German pro-Palestinian activist identified as Ibrahim Ibrhrahim, Eralp answered “yes.”

She then tried to have the question removed from the interview, explaining in a note to her staff — which was included in the version of the interview returned to the reporter — that she had previously been advised by German authorities not to use the specific names of individuals who might be linked to criminal activity.

“Back then, it was about organized crime. Now it’s about people with connections to Hamas,” she wrote.

Then she put in the important part: “I cannot put myself and my family in danger for SPIEGEL. What do we do now? Cancel the entire interview?”

In another note about using the name, Eralp wrote that a third party, possibly a Left Party official, “does not want to name specific individuals, neither does my husband, nor do I. He is afraid of these people, and so am I.”


So, getting crosswise with what news reports refer to as a “pro-Palestinian activist” has a candidate for mayor terrified that she’s putting herself and her family in serious danger?

Politics might be a rough-and-tumble business, but worries about physical threats are not exactly the norm among healthy democracies.

The fact that a leftist politician — a movement that has courted Islamist support on a global basis — is privately admitting fears about a “pro-Palestinian activist” tells a lot.

The fact that this same politician, according to Politico Europe, wants to reduce the number of police officers in Berlin (what is it with leftists and the “defund the police” fetish?) tells even more about her concern for her personal security versus the safety of her people.

If she is victorious, Eralp would be Berlin’s first mayor of Turkish descent, according to al-Jazeera.

She also identifies as Muslim, according to the Turkish outlet Yeni Safak. In fact, she’s referred to in some quarters as “Berlin’s Mamdani,” after New York’s first (and already disastrous) Muslim mayor.

But she’s not in charge yet. Berlin is not only a city and the country’s capital, it is also one of the 16 states that make up the Federal Republic of Germany and is governed by a state parliament.

Eralp’s Left Party came in first in Berlin’s Sept. 20 election, Politico Europe reported, but her party needs the support of fellow leftists in the Social Democrat and Green parties to form a coalition government.

Stefan Evers, the mayoral candidate of the Christian Democratic Union, the party that came in second in the Sept. 20 race, blasted Eralp in a statement to Politico Europe and said the revelation should give pause to other parties that might join her government.

“If the woman who is supposed to govern Berlin in the future is so afraid for herself and her family that she hesitates to publicly name terrorist sympathizers, while parts of her own party are working hand in hand with those very circles, then reasonable voices within the Greens and [Social Democrats] must finally pull the emergency brake,” Evers told Politico.
Germany might be an ocean away from the United States, but the growing influence of the combined leftist-Islamist politics concerns the entire West, from burning cities in France to the migrant-swamped U.K. to our own Minneapolis and Michigan.

Leftist violence has become part of the backdrop of American politics, along with a healthy dose of leftist anti-Semitism pushed by incessant leftist demonstrations by “pro-Palestinian activists” of the Ibrahim Ibrahim stripe.

How many American politicians have the same unease about Islamist violence that they’re not sharing publicly with the American people? Keeping silent, like Churchill’s appeasers, who feed the crocodile hoping to be eaten last?

The answer to that question is unknown, but it’s certainly not zero.

And it will probably take an accident for the truth to come out.

Muslim Debater Begs Security to Remove Christian Apologist After He Tells the Truth About Islam


GodLogic, Cab Malone, and other Christians recently hosted a debate with Muslim apologist and ex-musician Jvnior, but 30 minutes into the exchange, Jvnior begged security to remove GodLogic after being confronted with facts.

The debate, hosted on the “Digital Social Hour Podcast” by Sean Kelly, covered topics such as Muhammad’s child bride, the apostleship of Paul, and the preservation of Scripture.

When GodLogic — whose real name is Avery Austin — sat across from Jvnior for the first time, the two debaters zeroed in on Jesus.

The Muslim falsely claimed that “Jesus is a Muslim,” to which GodLogic responded: “I think that this claim is one of the silliest claims historically, theologically…”

Before he could finish his thought, Jvnior jumped in, arguing that all 2.4 billion Muslims believe that Jesus is a Muslim — as if this would demonstrate the claim to be true.

GodLogic pushed back, promising to explain why he thinks the claim is baseless.



As he began to set up his argument, Jvnior interrupted again. And again. And again.

The moderator tried to restrain Jvnior, but as soon as GodLogic started explaining his point, the Muslim apologist interjected with another comment or question.

As this pattern continued, GodLogic started referring to Allah as “demonic” and to Muhammad as a “dog” — an unclean animal in the Muslim paradigm.

Eventually, Jvnior threatened GodLogic: “Bro, do you want me to kick you out?”

“Kick me out… Security, come move me out of here,” GodLogic mockingly responded.

As Jvnior frantically looked for a security guard, however, GodLogic walked back his invitation of security intervention, saying “we’re staying right here.”

“Get him out of the room, bro,” Jvnior said, as GodLogic claimed that this response was only coming about because he was “humiliating” the Muslim god and prophet.

Jvnior’s next attack became strangely personal as he threatened to humiliate GodLogic’s wife, Christina. Referencing her career as a model before coming to Christ, Jvnior threatened to pull up the photos on his phone — presumably photos of her scantily clad.

Instead of being angered, as any husband would have the right to be, GodLogic laughed it off and tried to return to the topic.

He had a mission — demonstrating the falsehood of Islam — and he wasn’t going to let this tactic distract him.

At that point, Jvnior had had enough.

“Get him out, bro,” he said, turning to someone behind the camera. “Bro, are you a security guard or are you just watching the debate?”

Security never got involved, but this ploy is quite telling.

In a debate, the person who won’t let his opponent finish a sentence is usually the one who fears how it ends.

Calling for someone’s removal is not a rebuttal. It’s a concession.

Furthermore, dragging a woman who wasn’t even at the table into the debate is what you do when you’re all out of arguments. An argument that needs intimidation to survive has already lost on the merits.

Ultimately, Islam can’t spread by debate. It never has. Islam’s expansion owes far more to conquest and political power than to open persuasion.

This is why, with no army and no state behind him, Jvnior had to ask someone else to remove the opposition.

Polish president turns plane around after 'coup' at nation’s top court

Protesters gathered outside Poland’s top court as tensions between President Karol Nawrocki and Donald Tusk’s government deepened


While en route to Senegal, Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki turned his plane around and returned home after police entered Poland's top court, the Constitutional Tribunal, and the tribunal’s president was suspended.

"At such a moment, the President must be in Poland," Nawrocki posted on X. "I'm interrupting my flight to Senegal. I'm returning."

Police say they secured the Tribunal after dozens of protesters gathered to demonstrate against what they called the wrongful suspension of the top court’s president by the current pro-European government. 

Police said there were also dangerous objects thrown at officers outside the building.

Poland court protest

Protesters gather outside the headquarters of Poland's Constitutional Court in Warsaw after police blocked access to the court building on Oct. 30, 2026  

Some protesters outside the court were seen praying, while others held posters reading "Tusk — a symbol of anti-Polish sentiment," "Down with the commies and Tusk’s regime," and "Stop destroying the state."

Poland’s top judicial bodies, including the Constitutional Tribunal, have been a major bone of contention between the current pro-European government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and the main opposition party, national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), which ruled the country from 2015 to 2023. 

Critics accuse the PiS of imposing political control over key judicial institutions, with some reforms having led the EU to impose fines on Poland.

Nawrocki, an ally of the PiS ​party, refused to swear in three of six judges nominated by parliament earlier this year. 

Constitutional Tribunal president Bogdan Święczkowski, ⁠who was appointed by the PiS government after also serving as a deputy justice minister, declined to allow judges elected by the current parliamentary majority to assume their duties. According to the tribunal’s website, Święczkowski was suspended Friday.

"Restoring the rule of law is our duty," said Tusk, who returned to power in 2023 with a promise to restore the judiciary’s independence. He posted to X, "After years of PiS-led lawlessness, this is a difficult process, sometimes painful, and it requires decisive action. There is no other way." 

Since taking power, Tusk’s pro-European government’s efforts have been vetoed by two successive presidents aligned with PiS, including Nawrocki.

HUNGARY AND POLAND DEFEND TOUGH MIGRATION POLICIES AS FRANCE REELS FROM VIOLENT UNREST

Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a former PiS member whose Rozwój Plus coalition is positioning itself as an alternative to Tusk's government ahead of next November’s parliamentary elections, also took to X to denounce "the forceful takeover of the Constitutional Tribunal."

"Justice cannot be achieved through violence," Morawiecki said, adding that "Tusk will stop at nothing to cling to power… We do not consent to Belarusian methods in Poland!" 

"It’s true: a coup d’état is underway," former PiS Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro wrote on X. "If someone were to forcibly break into the Prime Minister’s Office and take it over, we would all know what to call it… This is a blatant, criminal attack on the constitutional order… That is why I call for resistance that will be loud, firm, solidary and fearless."

"A judge whose oath was never accepted by the President Nawrocki has declared herself head of the Constitutional Tribunal and suspended its leadership, while police secured the building," added Morawiecki. "This is not how the rule of law is restored. The tribunal's crisis is real, but replacing one disputed set of rules with a more radical one only invites the next government to do the same.

U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose posted a statement on social media that read in part: "The events unfolding tonight at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal are very serious indeed. We appear to be witnessing an unprecedented confrontation over the government’s use of state power and the independence and authority of a constitutional institution. Both sides offer sharply different accounts of what happened and why. Whatever the facts ultimately establish, thousands gathering outside the Tribunal make an already dangerous situation more combustible. The last thing Poland needs is a confrontation that spirals into something far worse. America is on Poland’s side. It is not our place to judge or interfere in its internal affairs. Our concern is for the stability, security, and democratic future of a country we are proud to call our friend and ally."
