Washington, DC…President Donald J. Trump announced one of the largest steel plants in American history: a $15 billion Mesabi Metallics mill in Iowa. The project will create 1,750 permanent Iowa jobs, support up to 6,000 construction jobs, and is projected to add $95 billion to the U.S. economy over the next decade.
The mill will produce 7.5 million tons of steel per year in its first phase, rising to about ten million tons, using iron ore from Mesabi Metallics’ newly opened Minnesota mine — the first new iron ore mine in the United States in 50 years.
This is the kind of project Democrats spent years making impossible. The Obama Administration blocked a proposed northern Minnesota copper-nickel mine by denying its federal lease renewals in 2016. The Biden Administration canceled those same leases in 2022, then banned mining for 20 years across 225,504 acres of the Superior National Forest. It revoked a key federal water permit for another long-stalled copper-nickel mine. It blocked a 211-mile road in Alaska that would’ve opened a major copper and cobalt district. In 2024, it piled new rules onto taconite iron-ore processing and coke ovens — the plants that feed American steel — while tariff loopholes kept foreign steel flowing in.
President Trump reversed those policies — and American mining is roaring ahead.
- In 2025, the U.S. surpassed Japan in crude steel production for the first time since 1999 and became the world’s third-largest steel producer. In fact, raw steel output is up 9% since President Trump returned to office.
- Nearly 6,000 steelworker jobs have been added after almost 10,000 were lost under the prior Administration.
- American mills now supply 84% of the U.S. finished steel market, up from 77% in 2024.
- Steel imports are falling as tariffs, permitting reforms, and energy dominance bring production home.
- New mill orders hit a record $17.3 billion in July 2026; domestic shipments hit a record $16.9 billion that same month.
- U.S. manufacturing has expanded for eight straight months.
Mined, Melted, and Poured in America: President Trump Reverses Years of Anti-Mining Policy added by admin on

Lets be real.
Somehow, someway, bags and bags of cash made it from this mining company’s coffers into Trumps pocket. Or soon will be making its way. That’s how it is today if you want to do business with the US government. This administration anyways.
That’s how he does business.
And now that he is facing “lame duck” status, he will do everything in his substantial power as POTUS to enrich himself, leaving the American people in his wake before he leaves office.
That’s just how it is folks. Most corrupt administration in American history. There isn’t even a close second. Its out in the open, Trump doesn’t even try to hide it, and he’s getting as much as he can while he’s in office.
And the MAGA faithful are too ignorant to see it, much less be offended by it.
They actually think its great, and have no problem filling up their diesels at 9 soon to be 10 bucks per gallon. They just keep gobbling his bs up. Unbelievable.
Copy & Paste you’re not smart enough to write this SHIT!
^^Need a period after “Paste”. Then a capital Y.
You sir are an ignorant right wing moron. You just don’t know any better do you?

Trump made $2.2 billion dollars last year, but please keep trying to explain how Biden was the corrupted one, lol
He is trying to buy the votes of the family’s. That worked for generations. In the mining industry. He only cares about himself. Period …

ration.Peter Thiel , the billionaire that paid for the maga education of JD Vance, the faux new Christian (Opus Dei) same as the GOP SCOTUS justices, is in the 3 million Epstein docs not released.
In the Epstein docs, are many foreign emails, and other emails which show Thiel was a frequent guest at Zorro Ranch in Nm
Epstein.s Zorro ranch has a long history of child sex trafficing , even the Mexican police knew about it.
The FBI quashed many investigations into the goings on at Zorro.
In one document, an ex NM trooper describes a building built with a cremating oven.
Zorro was accused by many police agencies of torture and near death of the girls taken there.
Thiel is but one of the many notables including a sheik with a penchant for “rough sex including torture”.
The Epstein cover -up is at the heart of the don’s extreme actions along with maga Mike the House speaker who repeatedly recesses the House to thwart any hearings about Epstein, or the illegal acts of the maga administration.
We must defend our election this November, as the Republicans are set to deny the voice of Americans at the polls,
The Republicans are all in with their mob boss don.
We must stop them.
Sounds like the Tards favorite word starts with”F”, someone touched a nerve, you can’t handle anything without exploding and using the”F” word, see you on the corner of 49 and 4, currently I’m transitioning. bet you like that theme!
Oh and fuck off !!
Oh Really!! Shut up loser . If you were ever in the military you were in the rear with the gear. Take it up with Sierra Hills Market!
That is a good question… why wasn’t big sleepy at donnie jr’s Russian – Putin Wedding … ???
Could it be a pee pee tape thing … seriously big d knows nasty … just saying
What exactly is going on with big don’s legs. All twisted and jack up. Like a stroke victim …
Hey Sgt Slaughter!!!
Looks like your opinion wasn’t too popular.(see above comments)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Better get ur flags ready for tomorrow night as the gay-bays invade us, working peoplein Calaveras County don’t support your Anti-American hate,so the horn honkers will be speeding through the light to their well deserved peace of quiet in the hills, bringing their dogs and cats, wondering or „demanding „, everything here that they want to change because the economy is so bad! Ever thought about $6.00 a gal. gas and paying that isn’t any problem for them, just for the suckers that have worked all week doing a trade job, which they would never touch! So get your friends and neighbors to join you at the light, never saw one of you there during Joies reign, allowing anyone and everyone to invade our country, so we can pay for their „FREE „ everything scheme so America will dismantle their war machine, their prisons, their police departments, free groceries, free tattoos, free everything! WHOOPIE, NARVANA!
Anyone who believes that this is actually going to come to fruition is still waiting for the $5000 check.
Health care cuts start to kick in. After the Midterms elections. As part of big sleepy’s big rip off project 2025 bill.
His mind is most definitely melted!
Been fishing all day, hey folks Sgt Slaughter here, how is it that so many haters have time during their work day to comment or start their conversation with the „F” word? My guess is that you, the haters don’t work, you couldn’t because your skill less, see you at 4×49 tomorrow night, make sure you wrap yourself in the flag that you never fought to defend, by the way if we take away our military, it will take about a week before all of you will be sporting an Iranian flag. Sounds good doesn’t it? I hear they like to lop off dissidents heads just for fun! Sleep tight you little warriors!
^^Re-up Sgt. Slaughter.
Request you old position as a clerk typist. Hunt and peck bitch, hunt and peck…………
P.S. Real vets don’t feel a need to brag about their service. They let their deeds in the military speak for themselves.
My experience is the guys that tout their time in the service, brag about how patriotic they were serving their country, were the ones who did the least.
You know, like work in the mess hall, type out daily reports, suck up to brass.
Is that you Sgt Slaughter? Think so…………………………………..
Keep on braggin though. You feel the need, don’t you little girl?
Sgt Slaughter here: just finished KP, still bragging about my service, that’s what real veterans do, love working around the grease trap, know 92% of you don’t what that means, hope all of you are having a great day, including the Tards, by the way the National Debt was 38.3 trillion, just over $ 40 trillion, get rid of prisons, cops, the military, we could take care of this debt, by the way the Middle East is hoping we do away with all of these, they are ready to take over, just think of us being Muslim, I’m in, how about you?
^^^I’m in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Your wife)
Melted mind for sure!
