CherylKActon, a public figure known for her commentary on policy issues, recently posted a series of tweets discussing the importance of problem-solving in government and highlighting examples of solutions in action.

On December 10, 2025, Acton commented on remarks by Speaker Johnson, stating, “Speaker Johnson makes a lot of good points in this short clip. It’s worth watching. We need both sides to be serious about solving problems, which begins with acknowledging that problems exist. Solutions exist also, if we will only focus on those.”

The following day, December 11, 2025, she shared another post: “A very good clarification: https://t.co/4RsMbs5ECJ”

On December 12, 2025, Acton connected a recent news story to her broader views on finding solutions. She wrote, “This story fits into my Rubik’s cube theory, which is that solutions exist – we just need to put all the pieces in place to find them. We needed a solution to address our dependence on China for rare earth minerals, and the minerals were found in Lehi/American Fork.” Her comments reflect ongoing national concerns regarding reliance on foreign sources for critical materials such as rare earth minerals.

Rare earth minerals are essential components in many high-tech products and renewable energy technologies. The United States has sought ways to reduce its dependence on imports from countries like China by developing domestic sources of these minerals.
