Host: Kash Patel brought at least one case of his personalized bourbon to the FBI's training facility for a seminar with UFC athletes. At least 1 bottle went missing, which caused the FBI Director to "lose his mind." Patel began threatening to polygraph and prosecute his staff over the missing bottle.

💢BREAKING: Iranian State Media Reports Commercial Pier Struck Near Bandar Abbas
Iranian IRGC-affiliated outlet Fars News Agency reported Thursday that parts of the Bahman Qeshm pier, a commercial and passenger port on the eastern side of Qeshm Island at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, were struck during what it described as exchanges of fire between Iranian forces and “the enemy.”
IRIB also reported sounds of explosions in the area. Further details were not immediately available.
Since seizing control of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has mandated that vessels transit through a specific corridor located between Qeshm Island and Larak Island.

🇦🇪🇮🇷 UAE is ATTACKING IRAN with U.S. Help
Iran's Fars News claims UAE JETS are attacking Iran's Qeshm Island Ports in the Gulf of Persia. This is also being reported by Israeli Media. Pending FULL Confirmation.
Attacks are still ongoing.
If this is the UAE, this is them attacking for their master Israel, to ruin any peace talks and restart the war for Netanyahu.
🇮🇷🇦🇪 Several EXPLOSIONS Across Iran's Island and the South, NAVAL Confrontation
Israel media says Israel has not attacked Iran. So this is either UAE, or the U.S. No confirmation yet.
Iran's state broadcaster IRIB has CONFIRM an explosion at Bahman port on Qeshm Island. Two columns of smoke are seen rising from the port. Fars News reports that the commercial parts were targeted in this exchange. No confirmation on WHO it was yet.
Iran's Mehr confirms several explosions in Sirik County, southern Iran. The exact nature of these explosions is not yet clear, but it seems the sounds are related to clashes in the waters of Sirik County.
Tasnim News also CONFIRMS multiple blasts near Bandar Abbas, with some sources linking the sounds to IRGC Navy operations warning ships against unauthorized passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Simultaneously, five U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft took off from the UAE. KC-135s extend the range and loiter time of strike aircraft.

Trump and his family have now made $4 BILLION off the presidency, including more than $3 billion from crypto alone.
Here’s a radical idea. What about having a president who wants to improve the financial well-being of ALL Americans, not just his own family and fellow oligarchs.

NEW: Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have restored U.S. military access to their bases and airspace after briefly restricting support for Washington’s Strait of Hormuz mission, easing tensions with the Trump administration.
The move clears the way for the U.S. to restart “Project Freedom.”

Trump's DOJ has opened an investigation into multiple trades, seemingly with insider information, that occurred before announcements from Trump on his war in Iran.
The mysterious oil market trades netted a total of $2,600,000,000.
30% of the world are under US sanctions. The world should continue building a financial system where the US dollar can't be weaponized.

Thomas Massie: “The Epstein class is above party.”
“They don’t associate as Republicans or Democrats.”
“They’re above judges.”
“They’ve got visa waivers.”
“They fly private planes.”
“They don’t mingle with the public.”
“John Paulson, one of the three billionaires who’ve [funded my opponent], was in Epstein’s phone book.”
“He also was implicated in these files as … reaching out to Jeffrey Epstein to get money from him to honor Howard Lutnick.”
“It’s a really small world when you get into the billionaires.”
“And they’re not partisans.”
“My hat’s off to Marjorie Taylor Greene for taking on those threats.”
“Lauren Boebert … they took her into the situation room and tried to whip her into taking her name off of the discharge petition.”
“And then the President vetoed a bill that would’ve brought water to a large portion of Colorado over Epstein.”
“It’s not just about Lauren Boebert.”
“Why are people in Colorado deprived of water because their representative wants to expose a sex trafficking ring?”
Tucker Carlson: “Why do you think Epstein, of all issues, is the one that Donald Trump was willing to destroy his presidency over?”
Massie: “The people who are funding the ballroom, the people who are funding the arch, the people who are funding the rebranding of the Kennedy Center, these are the people who are also funding my opponent.”
“These are the people who have the ear of the President.”
“These are the people who are dominating our foreign policy decisions.”
“And these are also the same people who are in the Epstein files, by large part, or their friends are.”
This is the issue that pushed Trump and the Epstein class to spend $10 million desperately trying to defeat Massie.
And the race is closer than you think.
His campaign needs all of our help right now to survive.

When Donald Trump decided to go to war with Iran, I’m sure he thought one good punch would bring the government down. As we close on 3 months of war, we’re discovering that the regime was a lot more resilient than we thought, and our capabilities are less robust than we thought. Since plan A failed, it seems we’ve decided on a strategy to starve Iran into submission. Regardless of what you thought going into the conflict, I don’t see how anyone who claims Christ as savior can justify this strategy. These people aren’t NPCs in a video game, they’re real people like us. There are no objectives that justify the moral stain.

🚨 BREAKING: Porn site Motherless, hosting tens of thousands of suspected abuse videos, has been running on Dutch company Nforce's servers since at least 2024.
Nforce topped TU Delft's 2020 ranking of Dutch hosting providers with the most CSAM detected. Elimeleh denies responsibility, stating Nforce only provides infrastructure and has no access to client systems.
A joint NOS / Nieuwsuur investigation confirms the site is hosted by Nforce, based in Steenbergen, NL.
Nforce director Simon Shlomi Elimeleh has been servicing Motherless for over a decade.
The site pulls roughly 62 million monthly visitors and brands itself as a "moral free file host where anything legal is hosted forever."
Findings:
- Offlimits received 142 reports covering 12,000 videos in 2026 alone. 25 cases involved child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- NOS analyzed 20,000 videos posted between May 1 and 7, 2026. "Incest" was the third most popular tag after "teen" and "amateur," totaling roughly 60 million views in one week.
- The single most-viewed clip of the past week (4.2M views) was tagged with disturbing words.
- CNN previously documented 20,000 "sleep" / "eyecheck" videos showing men lifting women's eyelids to confirm they were drugged or unconscious.
Dutch regulator ACM calls the situation "concerning" but admits it cannot pull content offline itself. The Dutch Public Prosecutor refused to confirm or deny any active investigation. Motherless' parent company Kick Online Entertainment S.A. (Luxembourg) was already fined by UK regulator Ofcom in February 2026 for missing age-verification controls.
The site is still online.

An NRC investigation says a controversial porn platform featuring videos of sex with seemingly unconscious women is hosted through a Dutch company owned by Israeli businessman Simon Shlomi Elimeleh.
The report says Elimeleh had been connected to the platform for years through his own Israeli company before acquiring the Dutch hosting provider in 2018 via a Bulgarian firm.
Despite repeated complaints about illegal content — including suspected child abuse material and rape-themed videos — his companies allegedly continued providing hosting and technical services.
