Those electric cars get a lot of electricity from Russian uranium

The United States is still reliant on Russia to get a quarter of its uranium necessities, even though the government talks tough about the Putin government. Throw in the fact that 83 percent of the US mines are owned by foreign countries and this makes the US not having control of a vital industry. At least, though, a US company owns the Uranium One mine from the Russians, which erases the Clinton/Obama deal for Russia to sign the Salt II Treaty.

Russia Uranium

Looking through the data can get confusing really fast, but the Visual Capitalist breaks down where the US buys uranium in a simple pie chart. The US buys 24 percent of their uranium needs from Russia, while only producing 27 percent of their own needs. What is even more hilarious is that the Biden administration waited until this year to start making it a priority to end this practice. Few people can truly say that we should rely on foreign sources, but we, as a nation, have been needing to provide power via a tyranny for far too long.

Mining Responsibility

Think about this, 83 percent of the uranium capability of the US is owned by foreign entities. The government is responsible for this, as they are the ones who decide who will open mines. Resources on US land are going to profit other nations, while this nation is in massive debt. FBI investigations keep finding nothing inappropriate, but then again, this is the same law enforcement agency that is known for keeping blackmail files on their own citizens. US citizens should wonder why we are allowing ourselves this exploitation.

Wasted Taxes

Instead of relying on the private market to make a difference, the Biden administration is throwing tax dollars at the issue. In February, the administration said they would spend $75 million to increase US uranium mining. There are US companies that know how to mine, so this is saying they would prefer the government to intercede in a free market solution. Perhaps people need to wonder why and who will benefit.

The United States relies on nuclear power, so it is disturbing that for decades we have allowed the industry to decline to these levels. The administrations that have been in power have done nothing except talk, while the US has allowed its own resources to become owned by other nations. We need to fix this before we keep becoming second class citizens in our own nation.

House GOP slashes millions in support of criminal aliens and abortions

The House GOP fought to remove questionable pet project funding from the federal budget, which included help for abortions and criminal aliens. This will save millions of taxpayers, which will also prevent voter backlash to members of the GOP who have done nothing when they have done nothing regarding their campaign promises. Some of the places that lost funding will cause an uproar within the LGBT community and their supporters, but it will also cut a bloated budget that is dragging us further into debt. Abortion Locations Congressman Robert Aderholt (Al-4) who is the Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, listed several of the projects that lost funding. Women and Infants Hospital in Rhode Island was to get $1.8 million and is known for late term abortions. Dartmouth Hitchcock, Nashua in New Hampshire was to receive $650,000 and is also known for late term abortions. These being removed cleared away a lot of the politica...

One of the ways modern healthcare is shaped by insurance

People need to be aware of the ways that insurance companies shape how doctors treat people, as it affects their personal care. There are multiple terms and groups that people have never heard of that become important to medical practices and getting paid. Some of the ways that insurance makes demands are common sense, which should make people wonder why doctors are doing certain things.
