@RealTmDaddy My grandfather landed with the 90th ID. Fought with them all the way to Bras (near Bastogne) before he was wounded.

@ReitmeierRobin I’m on it!

[Darin Mjoen @Siouxper7]

This is great and worth the read.

Looks more like a pre-race ceremony or procession - like the @WoOLateModels four-wide salute BEFORE the race.

[Darin Mjoen @Siouxper7]

Somehow, @NASCAR has managed to ruin the #Daytona500. This isn’t ‘racing’.

[Darin Mjoen @Siouxper7]

@PeteHegseth good morning, Sir. We conduct an annual hockey tournament here in Minnesota in which many of your fellow Red Bulls participate. Would you be available and willing to do a puck drop on championship Sunday? Tournament is March 20-22. Thanks for your consideration,

[Darin Mjoen @Siouxper7]

@RiverCitiesFan @RestrictedDaily Oh my! Those were the days!

Hockey Day Minnesota 2026. Military USA vs Canada. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

We are honored to support Team USA on Military Night and to stand behind those who have served. Watching veterans come together on the ice was a powerful reminder of the impact the game of hockey carries far beyond the rink.

Thank you to Shane Hudella (@HudellaDTBL) and the United Heroes League (@United_HL) for the opportunity and coordination to make this special event possible.

How in the f is someone not locked in from a huge soup run? @cbnationals you need to use a 13th row add for biggest soup runners. Every other big series uses provisionals... this could be yours. Reward those who actually deserve it. Retweet if you agree!!! @FloRacing @clintonboyles98

And now you know the rest of the story.

THE PENTAGON JUST ADMITTED THE QUIET PART

A "sole-source" contract. $245 million. One company.

That's it. That's the entire North American antimony smelting industry.

Why it matters: Antimony trisulfide ignites when firing pins strike primers. Without it, bullets don't fire. Artillery doesn't detonate.

Over 300 types of U.S. munitions require this metalloid.

China banned exports to America in December 2024.

The National Defense Stockpile? 42 days. Not months. Days.

Congress sold off $6 billion in strategic reserves since 1992 because "global markets will always provide."

The price response:
• January 2024: $11,300/ton
• April 2025: $57,778/ton

That's 400% in 18 months. The sharpest rally Fastmarkets has recorded since the 1980s.

Beijing didn't need missiles. It needed patience and paperwork.

November 2025 "suspension"? Commercial only. Military end-use: still banned.

The window closes November 2026. Right before midterms.

Here's what nobody's connecting:

Solar panels need antimony for glass clarity. Defense needs it for ammunition. Both compete for the same constrained non-Chinese supply.

One policy framework must yield.

The winners already know: UAMY $245M DLA contract. Perpetua $80M+ DoD grants. Nova $43M defense funding.

The losers: Everyone without locked-in supply watching input costs triple.

This isn't a commodity cycle.

This is proof-of-concept for mineral warfare.

The question isn't whether Beijing uses this playbook again.

The question is: which metal is next?

@DustinJarrett ask Billy if remembers racing the NASCAR simulator at the Mall of America in Minnesota a number of years ago. He was in the area racing at Cedar Lake at the time. I was in the same heat as he was and if I remember correctly, Billy never made it out of pit lane. Good times. Love Mr. Smooth.

@ZachHalverson Based on that picture I struggle to understand how they couldn’t build it to the proper ice dimensions.

Wait...there's more!

[7SEES @7SEES_]

Paul Bremer, under the direction of Donald Rumsfeld, awarded Blackwater contracts to Erik Prince in Iraq and tried to help cover up the Nissour Square Massacre.
https://t.co/cQMUnFyd68

Bremer was at Marsh & McLennan Companies, which had offices on 8 floors of the North Tower of the WTC.
https://t.co/FyQb9LMiFf

Bremer was conveniently absent the day of the attacks.
https://t.co/lqxSYgoZLv

Erik Prince was backed by Alvin Krongard, who was appointed Director of the CIA by George Tenet.
https://t.co/qT6TKp6U62

Alvin Krongard ran Alex, Brown, & Sons, which served as a front for CIA investing prior to Krongard creating In-Q-Tel.
https://t.co/AN34mLHnmi

They seed funded companies like Microsoft (Mossad/DARPA), Qualcomm (Israel), Broadcom (Israel), SUN Microsystems (Mossad/DARPA), and Oracle (Mossad/CIA).

https://t.co/OYVbmBArDf

https://t.co/N2Sy42i9dg

Alex Brown & Sons was eventually merged with Bankers Trust (where Jeff Bezos [DARPA] and Jerome Powell [Fed Chair, Carlyle Group] worked), before being acquired by Deutsche Bank, where Alvin Krongard was also Vice Chairman. Deutsche Bank then sold it to State Street.
https://t.co/O51VvbZi5n

Bankers Trust executives were involved in the founding of the Federal Reserve, specifically Benjamin Strong Jr.
https://t.co/DyK94VmxC2

Krongards wife, Cheryl Gordon, was Director of US Airways, and served as a Senior Executive of Apollo Global when the war in Iraq began.
https://t.co/7HaQ9lscm3

Apollo Global is a restructured Drexel Burnham Lambert, with Leon Black of Apollo having ties to Epstein, and Drexel Burnham Lambert having employed Nigel Farage, and Michael Milken, who Trump pardoned in his first term.

https://t.co/MbEnam7rnZ

Michael Milken has hosted Brock Pierce at the Milken Institute as a guest speaker.

Erik Princes Blackwater became XeServices, then Academi, then Constellis, which is owned by Apollo Global Management.

Also owned by Apollo is Strategic Social, which owns the Lincoln Group which Lara Logans husband used to do anti-Islamic propaganda on behalf of the military.

Krongard was the Director of DLA Piper, where Kamala's husband Doug Emhoff worked up until Harris became VP.

Prince helped James O'Keefe set up Project Veritas with Cleta Mitchell.

UJA-Federation of New York has Larry Silverstein (9/11 Insurance Scam), Robert Steven Kapito (Blackrock, Blackstone), and partners with the JCRC of New York, where one of the architects of Blackrocks Aladdin, Dr. Bennet Golub was a member.

Golub came from SUN Microsystems (DARPA/Mossad), which was funded by Krongard via AB&S, and was eventually acquired by Oracle (Mossad/CIA), which was also funded by In-Q-Tel, and Larry Ellison is one of the largest donors to the IDF in history.

Interesting

[7SEES @7SEES_]

Eugene Kleiner of Kleiner-Perkins was involved in what was essentially the "founding" of Silicon Valley alongside William Shockley to create the "Shockley Semiconductor Lab" in Maintain View, California.
https://t.co/Tqe9d4zbNX

Shockley Lab was funded by a company called "Beckman Instruments", which claims to have helped develop the Apollo Guidance System for NASA.
https://t.co/dSPiqLfa4m

Thomas Perkins, of Kleiner-Perkins, was a director at Applied Materials, Compaq, Corning Glass, Genentech, Hewlett-Packard, and Philips Electronics. He was chairman of Tandem Computers, from its founding in 1974 until its 1997 merger with Compaq. Perkins was also chairman of Genentech from 1976 until 1990, when it merged with Roche Holding Ltd.
https://t.co/8SVA8ZWmrX

Perkins was mentored by Georges Doriot (founder of INSEAD), a member of the US Army's Military Planning Division and also the "American Research and Development Corporation".
https://t.co/JzMVX7juN6

Doriot worked at ARDC with:

Karl Taylor Compton, who was associated with the Ford Foundation, Sloan Foundation, and Rockefeller Foundation, as well. He was involved in the Office of Scientific Research and Development, the S-1 Executive Committee (the precursor to the Manhattan Project).
https://t.co/CUgqAVkBbI

Ralph Flanders, who was involved with the "National Recovery Administration" after the Great Depression, and the Committee for Economic Development under FDR, (a spin off of the Business Advisor Council) where he claimed to help shape the CED's recommendations to Congress on roles for the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
https://t.co/2NBi359cpv

(FDR's Uncle Frederic Adrian Delano was also the first Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve, after his cousin Teddy Roosevelt helped split the 1912 Election, giving Woodrow Wilson the win, ultimately leading to the Federal Reserve being established under Wilson the next year.)
https://t.co/LPfMZ1rmaf

And Vannevar Bush, a particularly influential figure in transitioning Military Spending from strictly defense, to Scientific R&D. Part of the Carnegie Institution for Science (Carnegie funded some of Teddy Roosevelt's "Expeditions"), the National Research Council, the National Science Foundation, the National Defense Research Committee (alongside Kompton [the NDRC would also include Frank B. Jewett , President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, original President of Bell Labs from 1925-1940, and Chairman of the Board for Bell Labs from 1940-1944]), the Office of Scientific Research and Development (again, alongside Kompton), was connected to the Ames Research Center and NACA (NASA's Precursor), as well as Raytheon and General Electric.
https://t.co/ubY694BTl5

Kleiner-Perkins would invest heavily in "SUN Microsystems" (Stanford University Network) which was partly founded by Vinod Khosla (Khosla would join Kleiner-Perkins in 1986, and eventually found Khosla Ventures), and over 900 ventures,including America Online, Amazon, Tandem Computers, Compaq, Electronic Arts, JD, Square, Genentech, Google, Netscape, Nest, Palo Alto Networks, Synack, Snap, AppDynamics, and Twitter.
https://t.co/2qCUpxdloa

https://t.co/29BZVEW49v

SUN Microsystems would eventually be owned by Larry Ellison's Oracle, which Raymond J. Lane was part of driving business for in the 90's, before departing to join...

Kleiner-Perkins.

@RussoHockey Wild gave up too much. I blame you @RussoHockey. You brought this up with @DanBarreiroKFAN the other day. 😀

@PaulCharchian what do you think - I’ve got Hurts but can get Baker off the wire. With Evans back what’s the better play?

@Eschierhorn37 is really good on @GopherHockey broadcasts. Great addition.
