Good Morning! On this day in 1880, the town of Frisco was officially incorporated. Originally founded in 1873 by Henry Recen during the Colorado Silver Boom, Frisco grew into a vital rest and transportation hub for travelers headed west and south.

It may only be Tuesday, but there's plenty to celebrate, as Denver has been ranked one of the most fun cities in the U.S. It's also home to a variety of festive holiday pop-up bars, perfect for kicking off the season in style.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and later today, we'll be sending you a message from World Concern about how your generosity can help provide emergency nutrition to children in Somalia.

Today's sponsor is Frontieras, offering an investment opportunity in new coal technology.

Polis Criticizes Biden's Decision to Pardon Son

Gov. Jared Polis criticized President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, calling it a "bad precedent."

Polis stated that while he understands Biden's role as a father, the president "put his family ahead of the country," adding that the move could tarnish Biden's reputation and set a concerning standard for future administrations.

Biden defended the pardon, claiming the charges against his son were politically motivated and argued that he kept his word not to interfere in the Justice Department's decision-making.

This marks a shift for Biden, who previously said he would not pardon his son. Hunter Biden had been scheduled for sentencing in a federal gun case this week.

AI Cameras to Penalize Express Lane Violations

Drivers weaving in and out of express lanes will now be monitored and penalized using roadside technology.

Warnings will be issued through December, but starting Jan. 1, violators will face fines starting at $75, rising to $150 for late payments.

The Colorado Department of Transportation will focus on drivers crossing double lines in key corridors like I-25, I-70, and US 36. Using AI-assisted cameras and sensors, the system is designed to enhance safety by identifying violators.

While some drivers support the initiative due to safety concerns caused by reckless lane changes, others worry that enforcement could prompt dangerous behavior as drivers try to evade detection.

Community Rallies to Rescue Trapped Horse

When an 18-year-old horse named Mr. Hank fell into a hole last week, the Grand Junction community united to rescue him.

The horse had been grazing peacefully at home the previous evening, but by morning, he was discovered trapped in a narrow cement culvert, his hindquarters stuck in thick mud.

Firefighters arrived to find Mr. Hank partially submerged, with only his head, neck, and front legs visible above ground. Covered in mud and visibly distressed, the situation called for careful planning to ensure his safe extraction.

The rescue became a community effort as neighbors and local organizations joined forces. Mr. Hank was eventually freed and is now expected to make a full recovery. Watch the video report here.

Make Coal Great Again

Coal has been burned for over a century, but its full potential hasn't been realized... until now. Frontieras' breakthrough tech turns coal into hydrogen, diesel, jet fuel, and other valuable byproducts ––creating a $2.1T market opportunity.

The best part? You still have the chance to become an early investor. That's a big deal because if this company 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 from hydrogen to jet fuel.

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 invest. Become a Frontieras shareholder and capitalize on the major breakthrough that will trigger the next "Rockefeller Moment" in global energy.

Coal's "Rockefeller Moment" is almost here.

Before John D. Rockefeller, oil was primarily used as fuel for lamps. But Rockefeller made his fortune by refining oil into more valuable products, like gasoline.

This same opportunity is unfolding for coal as we speak.

After centuries of burning coal, most people still haven't caught onto its true potential. Frontieras North America did... and their breakthrough patented technology unlocks at least 8 new and profitable ways to use coal, and a $2.1T opportunity.

See how you can share in this potential by investing in Frontieras stock here.
