It's very telling what their attitude is when they keep parading around the idea that rare earths aren't so rare after all, it's a good goalpost shift to pretend that all is good and all they have to do is simply dig

I used to hate the "rare earths aren't rare" mantra, but I've now learned to love it. If people are so willing to dig their own graves, then more power to them!
I had heard this conspiracy last year that all those indian students brought here in recent years was to offer them PR if they enlist (or get deported).
Cheng Li-wun sworn in as new leader of Taiwan's largest opposition party
Does anyone know her?
It seems her biography is ideal for a Kuomintang leader – a former member of the pro-American Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its youth league. She left the party amidst a scandal.
She built her career as the girlfriend of the head of the DPP's municipal committee in Taiwan's capital. They had no children, spending most of their time attending late-night party meetings in karaoke bars. She knows who's who in the DPP – it's difficult to put someone like her in jail.

Malaysian rapper Namewee faces drug charges following Taiwanese influencer’s death
Malaysian police have charged controversial rapper and filmmaker Namewee with drug possession following media reports that he was found in a Kuala Lumpur hotel room where a Taiwanese influencer was later discovered dead.
The 42-year-old celebrity, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, was arrested on October 22, at a hotel in the city centre, police said in a statement released on Monday.
“During the search of the hotel room, police discovered nine blue pills suspected to be Ecstasy, weighing around 5.12 grams [0.18 ounce],” Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus said in the statement obtained by This Week in Asia. “A urine screening later tested positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, ketamine and THC,” he added, referring to the chemical compound in cannabis.
The rapper, who has denied taking or carrying drugs, was charged on October 24 under Malaysia’s Dangerous Drugs Act for possession and consumption of narcotics. He pleaded not guilty and was released on bail of 8,000 ringgit (US$1,907). Police have confirmed the next date for the case hearing is December 18.
The body of Iris Hsieh, the Taiwanese influencer, was reportedly found in the same unnamed hotel room in Kuala Lumpur.
In a social media post on Sunday, Namewee denied the drug-taking allegations and speculation linking him to the influencer’s death.
“I saw another piece of baseless, rumour-filled news … I didn’t take drugs, and I didn’t carry any drugs. At most, I’ve been drinking more [alcohol] lately,” he wrote in the Mandarin and Hokkien dialects of Chinese.
“Believe it if you want, don’t if you don’t. Anyway, when the police report comes out, everything will be clear … I didn’t respond earlier because the case is still under investigation, and we are not allowed to disclose the details.”
Hsieh, 31, a former nurse turned social media celebrity, was best known for her skincare tips and comedic short videos that earned her the nickname “Nursing Goddess”.
She also ran an OnlyFans account where she shared lifestyle and modelling content with subscribers.
According to local media reports, Hsieh arrived in Malaysia on October 20 to take part in a film collaboration with Namewee in the hotel room. She was found unconscious in a bathtub in the room on October 22.
Hsieh’s death and Namewee’s arrest have dominated headlines in Malaysia and Taiwan, sparking debate over celebrity culture and Malaysia’s strict drug laws.
Representatives of Namewee and Hsieh did not respond to requests for comment at the time of publication.
Namewee is one of Malaysia’s most controversial artists, known for his politically charged lyrics and criticism of social and religious taboos. He first gained notoriety in 2007 with his viral song “Negarakuku”, which mocked the country’s national institutions and drew public outrage.
Despite having faced multiple investigations by local authorities over the years, he continues to command a loyal fan base across Asia.
Yikes
They must not be aware of the history of supposed Indian martial prowess.
so basically the kamala Harris route for getting into power. Not the first time courtesans have become heads of state, but can she be a Theodora as opposed to any 9 tailed fox.
