Longhorns Visit to Athens a First

No. 5 Georgia will face No. 10 Texas on Saturday night, with the Longhorns making their first-ever trip to Athens and Sanford Stadium.

The teams were supposed to play in Athens in 1957, but classes were out of session and the game was moved to Atlanta.

This weekend’s matchup carries major postseason implications. With a win, Georgia would stay alive for a spot in the SEC title game.

The Bulldogs are expected to get tight end Lawson Luckie and defensive back Demello Jones back from injuries. Texas comes in healthy and riding a five-game win streak.

Akon Busted Over Suspended License

Singer and songwriter Akon was arrested last week in Chamblee after a police camera flagged his Tesla Cybertruck at a local tint shop.

Police arrested him on a bench warrant tied to a September traffic stop in Roswell, where he was caught driving on an allegedly suspended license with no proof of insurance.

The 52-year-old artist was booked into the DeKalb County Jail and released six hours later. He’s currently touring India.

Georgia Tech Eyes Bounceback

No. 16 Georgia Tech heads to Boston College on Saturday, aiming to rebound from its lone loss of the season and stay in the College Football Playoff hunt.

The ACC-leading Yellow Jackets will lean on quarterback Haynes King—who set a school record with 511 yards in the loss at NC State—and an offensive line selected Tuesday as a Joe Moore Award semifinalist. Injured defenders Jy Gilmore and Ahmari Harvey could return.

Boston College has yet to win a conference game and enters with quarterback uncertainty.

This critical minerals stock is NYSE-ready

The US set aside billions to secure the minerals that power EVs, missile defense systems, and grid-scale battery storage.

But while most companies are years away from increasing supply, M2i Global ($MTWO) is already producing real results. They’re planning to bring mineral processing back to America with the federal government’s help. How?

By combining abandoned mine revitalization, recycled metals, and public-private partnerships. And that’s just the start.

They are also leading the charge to build a US Critical Minerals Reserve to be headquartered at the Hawthorne Army Depot.

Their mission aligns with sweeping 2025 federal policies aimed at restoring U.S. supply, including recent U.S. government investments in private sector critical mineral companies such as Trilogy and MP Materials.

They even just completed a reverse takeover that allows a planned New York Stock Exchange uplist.

Best of all? You can lock in the current valuation and earn up to 20% bonus stock if you invest by Nov. 19.

National security isn’t just about winning wars—it’s about minerals.

Currently, the U.S. is dangerously behind. Over 80% of our critical minerals are sourced or processed overseas, many in nations that don’t have our interests in mind.

Washington knows the risk. Earlier this year, the White House enacted aggressive measures under Section 232 to reassert control over American mineral production and processing.

But here’s the challenge: building new mines is slow, expensive, and politically charged.

That’s where M2i Global offers a breakthrough.

Their model focuses on strategic partnerships worldwide, including those with allied nations, to build a secure supply chain—unlocking new value through innovative technology, the smarter use of resources, and collaborations that meet today’s industrial and national security needs.

For investors, the entry point remains early—just $0.18/share, with the potential for up to a 20% bonus in equity, but only until Nov. 19.
