Kristi L. Noem is joining NovaRed Mining - as a strategic adviser, and OMG, this is a major headline for the critical-minerals space. Her resume is stacked: farmer, rancher, business owner, South Dakota state lawmaker, U.S. Congresswoman, 33rd Governor of South Dakota, 8th U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, and now U.S. Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. That means decades of experience across agriculture, energy, infrastructure, economic development, public policy, emergency management, transportation security, and national security. Why is this powerful for NRED? Because NovaRed is focused on copper-gold exploration in British Columbia, and copper is becoming a strategic material for the U.S., Canada, and allied nations. Copper powers electric grids, AI data centers, defense systems, transportation, advanced manufacturing, and the infrastructure behind modern economies. In a world where secure supply chains matter more than ever, NovaRed’s copper story connects directly to national security, energy security, and North American resource independence. NovaRed Mining: exploration, AI-enhanced technology, copper, and critical-minerals security. Not investment advice. Personal advisory capacity only. No government endorsement.

Trump: "Qatar is the closest to Iran, physically. With other countries, I noticed they had to travel about 45 minutes to get there. With you, you could walk right across the border." There's no land border between Iran and Qatar. They're separated by the Persian Gulf.

Rule changes for the SpaceX $SPCX IPO: Index providers waived the profitability requirement and cut the seasoning window from 90 days to 5. This forces over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement money to buy SpaceX at IPO valuations. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates S&P 500 funds must absorb 19% of SpaceX's float within 6 months. Russell 1000 and Nasdaq 100 funds will absorb 24%. The rules built to protect passive investors: 1. S&P 500 has required 12 months of trading and 4 quarters of GAAP profitability since 2002. Both waived. 2. Nasdaq cut its inclusion window from 90 trading days to 15. 3. FTSE Russell cut its to 5. All three benchmarks are now structured to buy SpaceX at IPO pricing.

Trump: “I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!”
