 | Saturday, January 18, 2025 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson requested $2,500 from Congress to fund the Lewis and Clark expedition. A vast area of the land the expedition surveyed and explored eventually became part of the Louisiana Purchase. With an Arctic air cold blast on its way, this is a reminder that freezing cold temperatures will sweep across much of the country into next week. If you're in its path, please stay safe and warm. We're sponsored this weekend by Frontieras, which is offering an investment opportunity in the energy sector. | | | |  Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Ban
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a law requiring TikTok to shut down by Sunday unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the app to an American entity. While the Court sided with the government that the law addressing national security concerns doesn't violate First Amendment rights, President Joe Biden announced he wouldn't enforce the ban, leaving the decision to incoming President Donald Trump. TikTok CEO Shou Chew responded with a video thanking Trump, who has generated 60 billion views on the platform. Meanwhile, "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary has put forward a $20 billion cash offer to buy the app while warning that service providers could face fines exceeding $1 billion daily after Sunday. Trump remains noncommittal, saying he needs "time to review the situation." | Trump Inauguration Moved Indoors President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony will be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to cold temperatures expected Monday in Washington, D.C., with highs in the low 20s and wind chills in the single digits. The temperatures make this the coldest inauguration since Reagan's 1985 ceremony, which was also forced indoors due to extreme weather. See a chart of inauguration temperatures here. In a Truth Social post announcing the change, Trump cited safety concerns for law enforcement, first responders, and supporters, noting that traditional outdoor events will be relocated to Capital One Arena. | Startup Freezes Patients Hoping for Later Revival Tomorrow.Bio, Europe's first cryonics lab, is offering to freeze patients after death for $200,000 with the hope of reviving them in the future when medical technology advances sufficiently to cure their cause of death. The Berlin-based startup has already preserved "three or four" people and five pets, with nearly 700 more signed up, and plans to expand across the U.S. in 2025. However, critics call the concept "preposterous," noting that no one has ever been successfully revived after cryopreservation and that there's no proof complex human brains can be restored. Still, the company's co-founder Emil Kendziorra remains optimistic, comparing initial skepticism of cryonics to early doubts about organ transplantation.

Time's Running Out to Lock in the Current Share Price After centuries of burning coal, most people still haven't caught onto its true market value. Frontieras North America did — their breakthrough patented technology unlocked at least 8 new and profitable ways to use coal, and they all combine for a $2.1T opportunity. Their technology is on the verge of unleashing a "Rockefeller moment" in the energy space... and you have just 2 days left to invest before their share price changes. It's similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology but for coal. If Frontieras captures just 2% of the global coal market, they have a clear roadmap to achieve a $1T valuation. Their tech is simple: rather than burning coal and wasting trillions of dollars in resources locked within it, their process extracts those resources for the global commodities markets: Their technology has already been validated by a successful operation in Texas, and they're getting ready to open a new plant in West Virginia. Don't miss your chance to capitalize on the major breakthrough that will trigger the next "Rockefeller Moment" in the global energy space. Lock in the current Frontieras share price before it changes on 1/20. | |  | | ➤ The NFL divisional playoff round starts today with the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Houston Texans and the Washington Commanders vs. the Detroit Lions.
