FedEx Freight is becoming a standalone public company, with its parent planning to spend $600 million to enhance its IT systems and infrastructure ahead of the separation . Consolidated adjusted earnings for FedEx were strong for the fiscal first quarter, exceeding expectations even though FedEx Freight revenue saw a 3.1% year-over-year decline. Hear the latest on the ongoing labor negotiations as Canada Post prepares to present a new contract offer to unionized mail carriers in an effort to break the existing stalemate. However, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers declined to immediately drop their limited strike action—a ban on delivering marketing mail—and asked why negotiations need to be postponed for another week after two years without new collective agreements. The morning minute also features the opening of the Savage Tooele Railroad in the northwest corridor of Utah, marking the state's first new short line railroad in over a century. This 11-mile route restores a former Union Pacific branch and serves the Lakeview Business Park, a project Governor Spencer Cox hailed as a major step forward for Utah's economy .

I recorded this conversation in Alpbach, Austria, a village that looks like a postcard and hosts a very serious tech gathering. TechSummit25 is Barracuda's deeply technical event, and it shows. The rooms are packed with solution architects, product managers, and engineers comparing notes with customers who run these systems every day. It is the kind of environment where product direction and real-world pain points meet over a coffee, then head straight into a lab to test an idea. My guest today is Neal Bradbury, Chief Product Officer at Barracuda, who leads engineering, product management, and the operations teams that keep services running around the clock. Fresh from a session titled “Secured today, secured tomorrow,” Neal breaks down what that promise means in practice. We explore why Barracuda is doubling down on a platform approach with Barracuda One, how a single dashboard helps teams see posture and value in one place, and why consolidation matters when alerts and tools pile up faster than teams can respond. We also talk about the balance between immediate protection and longer-term planning. Neil explains how quarterly releases and shared services underpin the roadmap, how zero trust network access moves from theory to deployment as VPNs fade, and how managed vulnerability services help organizations find risks they did not know they had. He shares why service providers are shifting toward vCIO and vCISO models, how value reporting answers the board's simplest question about where the budget goes, and why response time is the measure that keeps coming up in every conversation. Secured today, secured tomorrow The headline theme is simple enough. Know where you stand right now, then set a clear plan for the next year. Barracuda One aims to cut noise and show whether tools are configured properly. The same view rolls up alerts across email, network, and application security, and for MSPs it stretches across all customers. That single source of truth is designed to reduce swivel-chair work and make decisions faster. We dig into the reality of tool sprawl and alert fatigue. A recent study Barracuda commissioned points to teams carrying too many point solutions, with slower responses and misconfigurations as the cost. Neal's answer is convergence without ignoring specialist depth. Product groups keep shipping, while shared AI and threat protection services raise the floor across the portfolio. That approach feeds directly into XDR, where integrations with tenants, firewalls, and endpoints help shrink the gap between detection and action. AI sits in the background of all of this. Neal describes it as a reckless intern that needs guardrails. In practice that means setup wizards that cut deployment time, incident response that can pull a bad message from twenty tenants in one sweep, and ML-driven triggers that fire automated remediation when patterns line up. The aim is clear. Let machines handle the routine work at machine speed, so people can focus on decisions and the weird edge cases attackers love to try. What listeners will take away If you run security day to day, you will hear practical direction rather than slogans. Consolidated dashboards exist to show posture, not just counts. Value reporting exists to explain outcomes to a board, not to pad a slide deck. Managed services rise in importance because many organizations need strategy as much as tools, and that includes smaller enterprises that outsource large parts of their stack. For leaders planning the next quarter, the emphasis on zero trust and managed vulnerability services will stand out. For operators, the XDR and SOAR focus is about shaving minutes into seconds, connecting identity with network and endpoint events, and giving analysts room to breathe. And for anyone curious about how product roadmaps form, conferences like this one offer a candid loop between feedback and action that you rarely see on a press release. By the time we wrap, Alpbach's quiet streets feel like an unlikely place to discuss ransomware, posture, and platform design. Yet that contrast makes the conversation land even harder. Secure today, plan for tomorrow, and give your team the visibility to do both.
Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA – OTCQX:LUCMF – FSE:TSGA), joins us to review their Q2 operations and key financial metrics, the further debt repayment, ongoing metallurgical work, 4 separate exploration programs, and provides insights on key upcoming catalysts across both of Luca's producing assets – the Tahuehueto and Campo Morado mines, located in the prolific Sierra Madre mineralized belt in Mexico. Second Quarter Highlights Gold equivalent production totaled 17,861 ounces in Q2 2025, up 28% compared to Q2 2024, and 39,154 ounces in H1 2025, supported by continued ramp-up at Tahuehueto, strong base metals output, and strong plant availability at Campo Morado. Tahuehueto advanced operationally, maintaining over 90% plant utilization in the quarter while increasing tonnes milled by 104% year over year to 72,396, underscoring continued ramp-up progress and plant reliability. Throughput momentum continued as well in the quarter, with a 65% increase in consolidated tonnes milled to 253,717; Campo Morado milled 181,320 tonnes (+54%), an average of 2,133 tonnes per day, while Tahuehueto more than doubled output, averaging 905 tonnes per day in the quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year. Gold production reached 6,622 ounces, up 55% from Q2 2024, supported by stable recoveries at Tahuehueto and steady plant operations despite lower mined grades. Campo Morado set a new benchmark with 98.7% grinding availability, its highest of the year, and delivered 11,106 gold-equivalent ounces—supported by stronger zinc and copper grades. Tahuehueto contributed 6,755 gold-equivalent ounces, a 44% increase year over year, and silver production rose 108% to 71,441 ounces, highlighting rising output from higher-grade zones. Zinc, copper, and lead production rose 74%, 66%, and 49%, respectively, on a consolidated basis, benefiting from improved head grades, higher throughput, and processing efficiency across both sites. Consolidated revenues more than doubled year-over-year to US$36.78 million driven by higher production volumes and improved realized prices across most metals, and delivered record revenue of US$75.4 million for the first half of the year.. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.61 million in Q2 2025, a substantial increase from $739,000 in Q2 2024, primarily driven by a 102% increase in revenues supported by higher gold-equivalent production (+28%) and improved realized prices. Strong throughput growth at both operations, particularly a 104% increase in tonnes milled at Tahuehueto and 98.7% grinding availability at Campo Morado, contributed to enhanced cash generation. Adjusted net earnings totaled $3.26 million in Q2 2025, a step in the right direction from a near break-even result in Q2 2024. The turnaround reflects improved operational profitability, stronger metal sales, and disciplined cost management, offsetting non-cash and non-recurring items that impacted the reported net loss. Positive adjusted EBITDA of US$5.8 million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024 – positive adjusted EBITDA of $4,166), with US$18.2 million generated in the first half of the year; supported by increased sales across gold, zinc, and copper, as well as improved operating margins. For the year ahead, the Company anticipates producing between 85,000 and 100,000 gold equivalent ounces with payable ounces ranging between 65,000 and 80,000. The Company expects to generate between US$30 million and US$40 million in free cash flow before working capital adjustments for the year, reflecting the strength of its core mining operations. Dan goes on to highlight both the underground drilling and surface drilling going on at Campo Morado and Tahuehueto, with essentially 4 exploration programs, and the first meaningful drilling in over a decade. In addition to targeting new high-grade gold and silver areas, there is a concerted effort to expand mineralization and extend the mine life for both projects. The company is also engaged in ongoing metallurgical testing to improve recovery rates for their 5 metals, and 3 concentrates.

Interview with Scott Emerson, President & CEO, and Kieran Downes, Director of Kingsmen ResourcesRecording date: 5th September 2025Kingsmen Resources presents a compelling investment opportunity in Mexico's precious metals sector through its systematic consolidation of historic mining districts and disciplined approach to exploration financing. The company has assembled two significant projects in Chihuahua's renowned Parral district, targeting areas with established production history and modern expansion potential.The flagship Las Coloradas project centers on a mine that operated from 1944 to 1952, producing high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization averaging 600-800 grams per tonne. Through methodical claim assembly, Kingsmen has consolidated what was previously 15 separate claim blocks into a cohesive nine-square-mile package. Modern exploration has extended the original 300-meter strike length to 1.4 and 1.7 kilometers respectively, suggesting significant expansion potential beyond historic workings.Current operations focus on a 3,000-meter drilling program targeting 11-12 holes with depths ranging from 250 to 500 meters. The program tests continuation of mineralization along strike and below the historic water table, with results expected by September 2025. Technical work has identified strong pathfinder elements including arsenic, antimony, beryllium, and bismuth, while induced polarization surveys reveal extensive sulfide development across multiple rock types.The Almoloya project represents the company's second major consolidation success. Almoloya has attracted previous attention from major mining companies including Hecla, Anglo American, and Kennecott, though these operators worked individual claim blocks rather than the consolidated package now controlled by Kingsmen. This previous work generated approximately $3 million worth of historical data that Kingsmen acquired without associated exploration costs.Management maintains exceptional capital discipline with only 25 million shares outstanding, having completed all acquisitions through cash payments rather than equity dilution. The Las Coloradas acquisition totals $2.1 million over seven years with no net smelter return, while Almoloya requires $8 million over eight years with a 2% NSR. Both payment schedules feature minimal upfront costs, allowing systematic exploration without financial strain.Strategic positioning creates multiple value realization pathways. GoGold operates processing facilities just 40 kilometers from Las Coloradas, currently trucking tailings 10 miles to their heap leach facility. This proximity suggests potential synergies for toll processing or outright acquisition if Kingsmen demonstrates sufficient scale and grade. The company also holds a purchasable royalty on GoGold's Los Ricos North project for $1 million, providing additional leverage to regional consolidation trends.Under President Scott Emerson's leadership, the company benefits from extensive mining experience including the Jolu mine discovery in northern Saskatchewan and 18 years developing projects in Argentina with Mitsubishi funding. Technical expertise comes from Director Kieran Downes, formerly with Cameco's uranium and gold divisions, while local representation through third-generation mining family member Carlos Garza provides social license and operational knowledge.Management targets resource potential exceeding 200 million ounces across both projects, based on geological similarities to regional deposits that have operated for centuries. The systematic approach to previously unexplored-by-juniors territory, combined with strong technical data and favorable operational conditions, positions Kingsmen for potential significant value creation through successful exploration results while preserving equity value through disciplined capital allocation.View Kingsmen Resources' company profle: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kingsmen-resources-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of profound transformation and controversy envelops me. This initiative, backed by influential conservative think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, is nothing short of a revolutionary blueprint aimed at reshaping the federal government of the United States. At its core, Project 2025 seeks to consolidate executive power in the White House, fundamentally altering the balance of American governance.The project's architects, including figures like Kiron Skinner, who briefly led the State Department's office of policy planning during the Trump administration, envision a government where the entire executive branch is under direct presidential control. This vision is rooted in the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that has been gaining traction since the Reagan era. Kevin Roberts, a key proponent, succinctly captures this ambition: "all federal employees should answer to the president."[4]One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to dismantle the independence of critical federal agencies. The Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission are all targeted for greater presidential oversight. This centralization of power is not merely a bureaucratic reshuffle; it represents a seismic shift in how the U.S. government operates. For instance, the project advocates for the dismissal of all Department of State employees in leadership roles before January 20, 2025, to be replaced by ideologically vetted appointees who do not require Senate confirmation. Skinner's perspective on this is telling: she believes most State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president[4].The 900-page policy proposal is replete with specific reforms and policy objectives that paint a picture of a significantly streamlined and ideologically aligned federal workforce. The elimination of entire agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Board and USAID, is a stark example of the project's scope. These actions are part of a broader effort to cut back on civil servants' powers and reduce what the project's backers see as inefficiencies across the federal government. As reported, the Trump administration, aided by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has already begun implementing these plans, albeit in a manner described as chaotic and legally questionable[5].The numbers are staggering: the Trump administration has either laid off or plans to lay off 280,253 federal workers and contractors, impacting 27 agencies. This purge is not just about reducing the federal workforce; it is about reshaping the government's ideological landscape. The project's proponents argue that this will lead to greater efficiency and alignment with conservative values, but critics see it as a dangerous erosion of institutional independence and a threat to public services.Experts and analysts are wary of the potential implications. The Center for Progressive Reform, for example, is tracking Project 2025's executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, warning that these actions will have "devastating consequences for workers, the environment, and public health"[3]. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also expresses deep concern, noting that the re-election of a president aligned with Project 2025's goals would have immense and far-reaching consequences for civil liberties and the rule of law[1].As I reflect on the latest developments, it becomes clear that Project 2025 is not just a policy initiative but a philosophical battle over the role of the executive branch in American democracy. The project's backers see it as a necessary correction to what they perceive as a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy, while critics view it as an authoritarian power grab.Looking ahead, the next few months will be crucial. As the project continues to unfold, key milestones will include the implementation of further agency eliminations and the replacement of federal employees with ideologically aligned appointees. The legal challenges to these actions will also come to a head, testing the limits of executive power and the resilience of the U.S. system of checks and balances.In the end, Project 2025 represents a crossroads in American governance, a moment where the very fabric of the federal government is being reimagined. Whether this transformation will lead to greater efficiency and alignment with conservative ideals or result in a dangerous concentration of power remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: the future of American democracy hangs in the balance, and the decisions made now will have lasting implications for generations to come.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Giarrusso v. East Bank Consolidated
By Robert Riggs The Godfather. Goodfellas. The Sopranos. Hollywood entertained us with polished fiction—honor among thieves, loyalty bound by blood, men of principle wrapped in tailored suits. But the real mob? It was darker. Colder. Predatory. The smile came first. The knife came after. This is the true story of how FBI Special Agent Mike Campi helped dismantle the Genovese crime family—the oldest, largest, and most insidious of New York's five Mafia Families. Founded by Charles “Lucky” Luciano in 1931. Consolidated under Vito Genovese in the late 1950s. The family once ruled Manhattan's west side piers and the Fulton Fish Market on the East River with quiet brutality. Everything moved through their hands—money, muscle, silence. Campi joined the FBI's Organized Crime Squad in 1985, stepping into the heart of a sweeping federal assault on the American Mafia. Over the next two decades, he led investigations that exposed the rot behind the façade. His new book, Mafia Takedown, pulls back the curtain on what really happened. Not the Hollywood version. The truth.

On the Wednesday April 9th edition of Georgia Today: State lawmakers renew a tax credit helping children who age out of foster care; The University System of Georgia combines two schools; And a health expert says the federal government's message about vaccines is confusing.
Dan Dickson, CEO and Director of Endeavour Silver (TSX:EDR – NYSE:EXK), joins us to review the Q4 and full year operational metrics at the producing Guanacevi and Bolañitos silver mines, a construction update at the key Terronera Project in Mexico, the announcement of an acquisition of the producing Minera Kolpa Mine in Peru, and updates on the Pitarilla and Parral development projects. Consolidated production last year from Guanacevi and Bolañitos met their updated 2024 guidance with 4,471,824 ounces (oz) of Silver (Ag) and 39,047 oz of gold (Au) for a total of 7.6 million silver equivalent oz. At Guanacevi in Q4 the operations team needed to replace and install a new ball mill trunnion, which was completed on November 30, 2024, and processing resumed in December to full capacity. At the flagship Terronera Project, surface construction is nearing 90% complete. Dry commissioning is advancing on the Upper Platform, and the focus continues on the Lower Platform construction and filter press area, for full wet commissioning to begin here in Q2 2025. Dan anticipates commercial construction will commence in Q3 of this year. The Terronera Mine has the potential to double the production output, adding in around 7 million AgEq per year, with a very low All-In Sustaining Costs, projected to be down around $13 per AgEq oz. Next we shifted over to the key news announced on April 1st, where that company announced a transaction to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Compañia Minera Kolpa S.A. (“ Minera Kolpa ”), and its main asset, the silver-focused polymetallic Huachocolpa Uno Mine (“ Kolpa ”); located in the districts of Huachocolpa and Santa Ana in the province and department of Huancavelica, approximately 490 km southeast of Lima, Peru. In 2024, the Kolpa mine produced approximately 2.0 million ounces of silver, 19,820 tonnes of lead, 12,554 tonnes of zinc and 518 tonnes of copper, for approximately 5.1 million silver equivalent ounces (“AgEq oz”). In 2024, the all-in sustaining costs of $22.80/oz Ag. The transaction is expected to close by June, and this will be a nice bolt-on producing mine for the company adding to the production profile in H2 and moving forward. We wrap up discussing the further growth potential from the Pitarrilla and Parral Projects in Mexico. Both are key advanced exploration and development projects in the portfolio that will have ongoing exploration and derisking work programs in the second half of this year. Dan mentions they have an eye to moving many of the development team members from Terronera over to Pitarilla, once Terronera is up and producing; working on further development next year as the next project to move down the pathway towards construction.
