You're not providing us any information on where to read about this further.
Are any journalists working on this angle?
It depends. Do you want to build anything with raw earth elements in it _before_ the refineries are built, which is going to take about a half decade? Then you're going to need to do business with China in spite of their being a national security threat.
This includes modern electric motors, modern power supplies (like get used in said electric motors and electric cars, electric drones, etc), modern radio frequency transceiver modules (like in a modern radar), among other things.
Putting a tax on them is making the best of a bad situation.
Besides, it's going to the Treasury. Not Trump himself.
I ran into this post last week about how to manipulate Grok (and presumably other LLM's) for propagandic purposes [0]:
"But speech recognition remains a difficult and error-prone task, even for ChatGPT and Grok. So they implement a rather clever optimization: if there’s a reputable site with the video and a purported transcript, just report that result. And if there are a couple of sites that have similar transcripts, assign that a very high confidence rating. Normally, that will get a best-quality result with the least computation. But—
—but that optimization is vulnerable to maliciously false information.
The people behind this exploit posted the video and a completely fake transcript to a couple of sites which Grok trusts (including supposedly Reddit’s /r/Yiddish board, though I have not found that post). Once they confirmed that Grok was trusting their fake translation, they posted the seemingly-innocent question, and then pretended to be shocked and horrified at the response.."

I would expected CDE as a first class citizen and maybe OpenLook.
And it says that it it maily for 32bit SPARC and 32bit X86 and later that "Important: 32-bit hardware support now completely removed.".
I've been looking for a linux distribution that has olwm available but have had little luck. The closest I can find is a theme for icewm.

That is quite the claim !
Claim? It's a matter of history. Her name is Valentina Tereshkova, and she's still alive. [0]

Ah we have a Linda Moulton Howe fan here I see =)
Hey, I'm collecting money for my expedition to see what's beyond the ice wall. I hope this will be more successful than the last expedition I sent, this time I'm sending them with a starlink terminal.
OK, I looked at their web site and couldn't find how they were supposed to be reaching fusion. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?
I'm guessing that like everything south of a certain point in Louisiana, it'll start out as a larger landscape feature and then gets filled in by sediment.
Oh, and before I forget: the kudzu will probably eat what's left of the crater.
It has increased greatly over the last decade and is much greater than their solar and hydro production, and is roughly 60% of their output.
