Good Morning! On this day, President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution declaring war on Germany, ending U.S. neutrality and bringing the nation into World War I. See the resolution here.

An Applebee’s manager in Michigan sheltered 50 people in the kitchen during a tornado last month, and no one was hurt. Her story is below. Have you ever helped save a life? We’d love to hear your story. Vote in today’s poll, and if you have a moment, reply to this email and tell us about it.

Today’s edition is abbreviated as our staff took time to celebrate Easter with their families. We’ll be back with the full lineup tomorrow.

Today’s sponsor, Frontieras, is highlighting a fast-moving investment opportunity in innovative “clean coal” technology that could unlock massive new energy potential while transforming coal into high-value fuels and resources.

Missing F-15E Crew Member Rescued in Iran

U.S. forces rescued the second crew member from an F-15E shot down over Iran, pulling the seriously wounded colonel from a mountain crevice after 36 hours behind enemy lines.

The CIA ran a deception campaign inside Iran, spreading false reports that the airman had already been found while intelligence teams pinpointed his actual location.

Hundreds of special forces and dozens of aircraft carried out the extraction, striking Iranian forces who were closing in and destroying two transport planes that got stuck before evacuating. See the details of the mission.

President Trump then warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday or face strikes on power plants and bridges. (Warning: strong language in link.)

Artemis II Crew Reaches Moon Today

The Artemis II astronauts are set to fly around the far side of the moon today, becoming the first humans to travel beyond Earth orbit in more than 50 years.

The four crew members will break the Apollo 13 distance record at around 1:56 p.m. ET, reaching 252,757 miles from Earth, roughly 4,100 miles farther than any human has traveled.

At closest approach, they’ll pass within 4,066 miles of the lunar surface and photograph parts of the far side never seen by human eyes. A solar eclipse viewed from the capsule will cap the flyby. Watch a video here.

Commander Reid Wiseman called the mission a “magnificent accomplishment.” Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said the view leaves the photos in the dust: “It is another level of amazing up here.”

Applebee’s Manager Shelters 50 from Tornado

An Applebee’s manager in Three Rivers, Michigan, led 50 customers and staff to safety in the restaurant’s kitchen when an EF-2 tornado struck the area last month.

Aubrey McKenzie, who has been afraid of storms since childhood, got everyone into the kitchen in about 90 seconds as 130 mph winds shattered windows and sent debris flying from a nearby store.

No one sheltered in the kitchen was injured. The tornado tore an 11-mile path through the area, injuring 10 people and severely damaging a Menards two doors down.

McKenzie said she was surprised she kept it together. “Your ears were popping. It was loud. By the sound of it, you’d think these walls weren’t going to hold,” she recalled.

Trump’s ‘Beautiful Clean Coal’ Push Is Unlocking $2.1 Trillion in Energy Potential

John D. Rockefeller’s empire would be worth $435 billion in today’s dollars. But “oil money” is old news. Thanks to a push for “clean coal” by President Trump, something bigger is brewing today:

A $2.1 trillion opportunity to not burn coal.

One company has patented technology that can reform coal into hydrogen, jet fuel, diesel, a clean carbon replacement fuel, and valuable commodities (like Rockefeller did with oil) without burning it.

That company is Frontieras North America, and investors have just 3 days left to lock in the $7.77 share price as momentum builds.

That’s why the “smart money” is already moving. Frontieras has secured a $150M investment commitment from GEM and raised over $20 million from private investors.

They’ve also officially broken ground for their $850M flagship facility in West Virginia, earning praise from the state’s governor.

With so many milestones in so little time, plus the NASDAQ ticker FASF reserved, this could be investors’ last chance to get in at the current valuation.

You have until April 9 at 11:59 PM PT to invest in Frontieras at $7.77/share.

Unlocking $2.1 Trillion in Energy Potential

One company has developed a technology that extracts valuable resources from coal without burning it. From hydrogen to diesel, fertilizer, and more, Frontieras North America has the potential to address $2.1T worth of markets.

It’s similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology. If Frontieras captures just 2% of the global coal market, they have a roadmap to achieve a $1 Trillion valuation.

They just broke ground for their $850M flagship facility. Now that their NASDAQ ticker (FASF) is reserved and the White House is favoring domestic energy, this company is positioned for potential valuation impact. Lock in the current $7.77 share price before April 9 at 11:59 PM PT.
