Don't you have an upcoming vacancy at the top? Sounds like this guy could be your man! Talk about mutually beneficial! 😂
However, before Canadians get too excited at the prospect of increasing the nation’s size, it’s worth noting that Grayson has a history of supporting lost causes. In 1982 he ran for a seat on the town council of Davie, Florida, on a platform advocating that the town’s horses be given the right to vote. He lost.
FEC data shows that Grayson has indeed filed to “Join Canada! Make NY-21 the 11th Province!” However, he has numerous other filings that include “New York’s Cutest Communist,” support from “The Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party,” and “Passive-aggressive ex-MSNBC viewers who now hate Morning Joe and do not know how to express their frustration except to write in Richard Grayson.”

Niobium’s role in meeting the global demand for energy
Feb 19, 2025 #steel #Niobium
The global demand for energy is projected to grow by 47% by 2050. While oil and gas will remain essential, renewable energy sources are expected to make up 27% of the energy mix by 2025. To meet this increasing demand, energy infrastructure must evolve, focusing on safety, security, efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.🌍
An important component of this transition is high-performance materials like Niobium. This video explores how Niobium-enhanced steels are playing an important role in transforming energy infrastructure in areas such as:
1.Pipeline transport: Niobium strengthens and toughens steels, allowing pipelines to carry more oil and gas. This enhancement enables pipelines to operate safely in challenging environments and extends their service life.🛢
2.Power generation: Niobium improves the efficiency of thermal power plants by enhancing steam turbine performance, reducing CO2 emissions, and increasing resistance to high temperatures and oxidation. 💨
3.Wind power: Niobium reinforces the structural steels used in wind turbine towers, facilitating the construction of higher structures that increase efficiency, lower material costs, and ensure a longer service life. 🏗
From power plants to pipelines, Niobium is essential for building a sustainable and resilient energy future. Discover the impact of Niobium in the energy sector and how this element is supporting the transition to cleaner energy.

Well if this isn’t the day of WTF.
I just saw Republican Don Bacon of Nebraska, who is on, the House Armed Services Committee, telling Trump to turn the ship around on Ukraine.
Do the right thing.
Putin Started the war, and is the Dictator etc
That’s all we need to stimulate EXIM
Strike while the iron is hot Mark Smith, get over to Ukraine and stake out a project, as a stop loss option.
LOL

On February 14, 2025, NioCorp Developments Ltd. (the “Company”) became aware of unauthorized third-party access to its information systems, including portions of its email systems, that resulted in misdirected vendor payments totaling approximately $0.5 million (the “cybersecurity incident”). The Company self-discovered the cybersecurity incident and promptly notified certain financial institutions and federal law enforcement in an effort to, among other matters, recover the misdirected vendor payments. In addition, upon discovery of the cybersecurity incident, the Company began taking steps to investigate, contain, assess and remediate the cybersecurity incident.
Although the Company believes that the cybersecurity incident is limited to the misdirected vendor payments, the Company’s investigation of the cybersecurity incident remains ongoing and the full scope, nature and impact of the cybersecurity incident are not yet known. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not yet determined whether the cybersecurity incident is reasonably likely to materially impact the Company’s overall financial condition or its results of operations, including whether the Company will ultimately be able to recover all or a portion of the misdirected vendor payments.

Trump Nominates Jovanovic as CEO of Export-Import Bank
Sunday, 16 February 2025
This is good news! Trump is keeping the EXIM ball moving. Biden didn't nominate Lewis until 9 months into his term! Trump appointed EXIM senior advisors on Day 2, and has already nominated the two people who will hold the ex officio board spots, the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative.
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114015154260594234
I am proud to nominate John Jovanovic to serve as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM). John will utilize his extensive experience in finance, investments, and business building across the Energy, Commodities, and Critical Infrastructure sectors to Make America Energy and Manufacturing DOMINANT Again.
John holds a Master of Business Administration in Finance and Management from my Alma Mater, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and an undergraduate degree in Politics from Princeton University. He will work tirelessly to protect all of the gains from our strong Tariff Policies, guarantee that our Exports receive fair treatment, and always put American companies, and our Energy exports, FIRST.
Congratulations John!

Meet the Players: The Three Key Nominations That Matter
John Jovanovic: The Man Tasked with Reviving U.S. Export Dominance
Trump has nominated John Jovanovic as the new Chairman and CEO of EXIM, positioning him as a strategic figure in U.S. trade policy. With an extensive background in finance, investment, and business development, Jovanovic’s appointment suggests a return to EXIM’s traditional role—supporting American manufacturing and energy projects.
Why EXIM’s Future Hinges on This Appointment
EXIM’s past leadership faced intense scrutiny, particularly over its financing of fossil fuel projects. Critics argue that previous policies prioritized corporate interests over sustainability, leading to environmental controversies and political friction. Proponents, however, credit the bank with ensuring U.S. exporters remain competitive against state-backed financing from China and the EU.
Jovanovic’s clean track record and expertise in structured finance signal a return to disciplined underwriting. The shift could mean a recalibration of EXIM’s priorities—potentially moving away from contentious fossil fuel deals toward more infrastructure and energy-based financing.

Gosh, I wonder if at some point Mark is going to announce that we are indeed going to be producing Rare Earths out of the Elk Creek Project, over 2 years now and they haven't been able to scrape up enough $$$ capital to stitch together a FS and get that on the books.... I sure HOPE that in the background they have most everything technically done and just waiting on the first traunch of financing to button up the FS..... we CAN NOT keep resetting the clock to 9-12 months..... another thing i have never understood is WHY in the hell we are not planning to go BIG and bring the other section(s) of the ORE BODY into the discussion, advertise that (from a high level, not yet 100% proven out ); maybe in parallell to building the mine (FINALLY), they can be doing parallel drilling samples on the rest of the adjacent ore bodies, and as desperate as the US is for large domestic quantities of CE/REE's wouldn't one think that there would be a path toward financing for that exploratory research in paralell with the main mine being constructed???
hmmmmm........ just wondering......
