Time to leave Ukraine

In 2017, journalist Bari Weiss of The New York Times reported on dissent within the organization over the pro-Trump orientation it adopted following the 2016 elections, which included at least two employees leaving.[87]

I think part of the answer to your question is that we think of the Israelis as being "European" rather than Middle Eastern. For better or worse, we expect better behavior from them.

But most adult Israelis were born in Israel now. So those expectations may not be fair or relevant.

Exactly, if Israeli's would spend more time getting back to their Irish roots and the old daze of
A Rules based order - always time for redemption;

The **Gentuk/Gentung Browns Lake Tungsten Project in Beaverhead County, Montana** is **very close to production**, with all credible sources converging on the same timeline: **late 2026**.

### 🟦 Current Production Timeline
The project is **targeting production readiness in the second half of 2026**, with multiple independent reports confirming this schedule.
- Almonty Industries states the project is **“positioned for near-term production as early as the second half of 2026.”** [almonty.com](https://almonty.com/project/gentung/)
- The acquisition announcement reiterates that the site is **“able to move into production quickly”** and is similarly **targeting H2 2026**. [Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251028115678/en/Almonty-to-Acquire-Strategic-U.S.-Tungsten-Project-in-Beaverhead-County-Montana)
- A later update confirms the project **“could reach production by late 2026.”** [KECI](https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/almonty-completes-purchase-of-montana-tungsten-mine)
- Another industry analysis notes that **first output in late 2026** is expected if permitting stays on schedule. [quatrostrategies.ca](https://www.quatrostrategies.ca/almonty-revives-a-montana-mine-aiming-for-2026-output-and-a-u-s-supply-foothold/)

### 🟦 Why It’s Close to Production
- **Existing infrastructure** (road access, power, water rights, historic mill site) reduces development time. [almonty.com](https://almonty.com/project/gentung/)
- **Significant prior work** by previous owners accelerates readiness. [Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251028115678/en/Almonty-to-Acquire-Strategic-U.S.-Tungsten-Project-in-Beaverhead-County-Montana)
- **Almonty’s acquisition is complete**, giving them full control and rights to develop and mine. [StockTitan.net](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/ALM/almonty-advances-intent-to-become-the-leading-u-s-integrated-5l4cr4lcqyem.html)
- **Metallurgical testing** already demonstrates >90% tungsten recovery, supporting rapid commissioning. [almonty.com](https://almonty.com/project/gentung/)

### 🟦 Expected Production Scale
- Designed for **~140,000 MTUs of tungsten per year** once operational. [StockTitan.net](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/ALM/almonty-advances-intent-to-become-the-leading-u-s-integrated-5l4cr4lcqyem.html)





### 🟦 Bottom Line
The Gentung/Gentung Browns Lake project is **in the final pre-production phase**, with all authoritative sources pointing to **late 2026** as the realistic start of production—**about 1.5 years from now**.

If you want, I can dig deeper into permitting status, Almonty’s development plan, or expected economic impact.

ALM .. A Few Details from the 6-K Worth Noting
Most of the convertible note headlines have been covered, but there are a few details buried in the formal SEC filing (6-K, filed June 12) that didn’t make it into the press releases. I read through it and here are the highlights as I have my Saturday morning coffee;

1. Overallotment exercised in one day. The initial purchasers had a 13-day window to exercise their option for an additional US$100M in notes. They exercised it on June 5 — the day after pricing. Full exercise, next day. That’s a strong signal the deal was significantly oversubscribed at the institutional level.

2. Bank of America and Goldman Sachs are the capped call counterparties. LB said in the X interview there were two tier-1 institutions, these are them. The filing names them explicitly. Both banks will be delta-hedging their exposure, which means mechanical buying pressure in ALM shares as the stock moves toward the US$27.40 conversion price. That dynamic reverses near the US$41.36 cap, but between here and there, the hedging flow works in shareholders’ favour.

BofA and Goldman don’t do capped call transactions with just anyone. They ran their own credit and counterparty risk analysis on Almonty before agreeing to be on the other side of an US$83M options trade. Their willingness to take that position is an implicit institutional endorsement — these aren’t banks that get surprised by what’s in a mining company’s due diligence file. So any fake issues with paste fill or otherwise are garbage.

As bookrunners, both banks were distributing US$800M in notes to their institutional client bases — pension funds, hedge funds, asset managers — all of whom now have a vested interest in ALM performing.

Between now and the Russell inclusion on June 29, you have two overlapping mechanical buying forces — index funds forced to buy, and two major banks hedging their capped call exposure. Those aren’t the same investors, and they’re not coordinating — they’re just both pointing in the same direction.

3. Acquisition language in the use of proceeds. The press release said “working capital and general corporate purposes.” The actual indenture filing says proceeds may be used for “acquisitions of assets or businesses.” That’s a meaningful addition — it’s the clearest official language yet that management is signalling M&A optionality with this war chest.

None of this changes the thesis, but it adds some texture that the press release glossed over. Thought it was worth sharing for those digging into the filing.

Lol,.. I thought it might be provocative or a trigger for some BUT - not you Mr Fua! hee he..

Luckily, I was ready with an antidote for anyone going off the deep end

Scientists now feel the huge asteroid that slammed into our planet before the God Concept

Was like a mini sun or one of those heat pads you put in your glove or boots

Sitting on the bottom of the ocean or in the crust with endless fuel like a Coleman Stove https://www.coleman.com/grills-stoves/camping-stoves/

And, created the necessary conditions for life

Yup, life needed a reason to go on just like the song in the Titanic

So, procreation which is like being prosex was a huge thing

Then, after some time peeps thought this is so great I wish I could do it forever

So, made that shit up to replace the reality of plummeting ahead on a trajectory to oblivion like the carousel in Logan's Run

Aliens just a new face on an old dilemma - everything Rump touches dies. The Web of Life.

Looks like it could be a similar business is all. CTO lift is getting much closer. As Ezz would say - LFG!..
$FOBIF

It was a new word for me and it's usage fits like an iron ball glove 😀

You know why they have a 7th inning stretch for the players and fans in baseball and not hockey right?
Man, the hockey fans almost get as much a workout as the players 😃

Hoisted by their own petard

The tightest, most accurate phrase for the situation you’re describing is **“meta-irony”** — the irony created when an action comments on or contradicts itself at a higher level. In this case, using AI to smack down an AI critic is an act that *embodies* the very thing the critic opposes, creating a layered, self-referential twist.

A few other strong contenders, each with a slightly different flavor:

- **Reflexive irony** — irony that loops back onto the actor or system performing it; the act exposes its own contradiction.
- **Self-referential irony** — when the method used is itself part of the subject being critiqued.
- **Poetic justice** — if the “beatdown” feels like a fitting reversal or comeuppance.
- **Hoisted by their own petard** — more humorous/archaic, but captures the sense of being undone by the very thing one opposes.
- **Technological irony** — a broader phrase used in discussions of AI and automation when the tool becomes the punchline.

**Most precise match:** **meta-irony** — because the irony exists *about* the irony of AI itself.

Lol Zab,.. could be worse - like watching paint dry watching baseball
As they say in the Penny Stocks: SO Exciting!

Jun 8, 2026 | Press Releases

WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, the Developing Overseas Mineral Investments and New Allied Networks for Critical Energies (DOMINANCE) Act, legislation introduced by House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on East Asia and the Pacific Chair Young Kim (CA-40) and Ranking Member Ami Bera (CA-06), passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

Energy and critical minerals underpin U.S. national security, advanced manufacturing, and economic competitiveness. Yet today, the PRC controls roughly 70 percent of global rare earth mining and 90 percent of processing, while strategic energy and mineral supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption and coercion. The DOMINANCE Act confronts this challenge head-on by aligning U.S. diplomatic, development, and financing tools to secure stronger, more resilient energy and critical mineral supply chains outside of the PRC’s influence.

Chairwoman Kim spoke in support of H.R. 7037 on the House Floor. Watch her remarks HERE.

“The United States needs a durable plan to strengthen critical mineral supply chains and reduce strategic dependencies that threaten our economic and national security. The PRC has spent decades expanding its influence across global critical minerals supply chains. America must meet this moment with allies and partners and ensure the materials that power our modern economy are not controlled by a strategic competitor. Our DOMINANCE Act creates the long-term partnerships, institutions, and strategy needed to compete with China and secure reliable access to critical minerals for decades to come. We are proud to see our legislation pass the House with overwhelming bipartisan support and look forward to working with our Senate colleagues to advance it into law,” said Representative Kim.

Organizations supporting the DOMINANCE Act include: American Academy of Diplomacy, American Conservation Coalition Action (ACC Action), American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF), American Critical Minerals Association (ACMA), American Energy Leadership Institute (AELI), American Petroleum Institute (API), Bipartisan Policy Center Action (BPC Action), ClearPath Action, Climate Leadership Council, DZYNE Technologies, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Action, the Foundation for American Innovation, Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), KoBold Metals, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), Newmont Corporation, Progressive Policy Institute, SAFE’s Center for Critical Minerals Strategy, Third Way, US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC), USLNG Association (LNG Allies). Read their quotes of support HERE.
