President Trump will participate in a bilateral meeting with the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain amid a new multi-billion dollar economic agreement for Bahraini investment in the U.S.

The meeting was scheduled for 11:15 am ET, but it will begin slightly behind schedule.

Per Reuters:

Bahraini and U.S. companies signed a series of agreements worth approximately $17 billion, aimed at strengthening economic ties and advancing cooperation across key sectors, Bahrain’s state news agency BNA reported on Wednesday.

The deals span sectors such as aviation, technology, industry, and investment.

Among the agreements, Cisco Systems (CSCO.O), opens new tab will provide digital solutions for Bahrain’s government information and telecommunications infrastructure.

Bahraini financial institutions and private-sector firms also announced plans to invest $10.7 billion in the United States, while sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat signed deals with several U.S. companies to invest $2 billion in downstream aluminium projects, with a focus on job creation.

As reported earlier, Israel fired several missiles into Damascus, Syria on Wednesday.

Israel fired rockets at the Syrian Defense Ministry’s headquarters in Damascus, Syria, as it reportedly prepares for a multi-day campaign against the Syrian regime. 

“As of Wednesday afternoon, the IDF had undertaken 160 aerial attacks on Syrian regime forces in and around the vicinity of Sweida in southern Syria,” the Jerusalem Post reports.

Video from the scene shows at least one of Israel’s strikes on a building in Syria.

This comes after President Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities and negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Per Fox:

Israel announced on Wednesday that its forces struck near the entrance of the Syrian Defense Ministry’s headquarters in Damascus.

“The IDF continues to monitor developments and the regime’s actions against Druze civilians in southern Syria. In accordance with directives from the political echelon, the IDF is striking in the area and remains prepared for various scenarios,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote on X.

An Israeli military official said on Wednesday that while the Syrian regime has claimed it is acting to restore order, what is happening on the ground tells a “very different story.” The official added that the more the regime intervenes “the worse it gets.”

The southern Syrian city of Sweida has become a flashpoint in recent days as the country’s leaders clash with armed Druze groups. Syria’s Defense Ministry claimed its forces acted after militias in Sweida violated a ceasefire agreement reached on Tuesday.

Netanyahu said in a statement translated by Google,

My fellow Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in Sweida, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious.

The IDF is working, the Air Force is working, other forces are working. We are working to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime’s gangs.

And now I have one request from you: You are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border.

You are risking your lives; you could be murdered, you could be kidnapped, and you are harming the efforts of the IDF. Therefore, I ask you – return to your homes, let the IDF act.

אחיי אזרחי ישראל הדרוזים, המצב בסווידא, המצב בדרום-מערב סוריה, הוא חמור מאוד.

צה”ל פועל, חיל האוויר פועל, כוחות אחרים פועלים. אנחנו פועלים כדי להציל את אחינו הדרוזים וכדי לחסל את כנופיות המשטר.

ועכשיו יש לי בקשה אחת מכם: אתם אזרחי ישראל. אל תעברו את הגבול.
אתם מסכנים את חייכם;… pic.twitter.com/3C6mAJSB4V

The subscription-based platform OnlyFans continues to expand rapidly, posting impressive gains in earnings and audience size. With upwards of 4 million content providers offering photos, clips, and custom interactions to over 300 million paying followers, the service has become a dominant force in adult entertainment.

OnlyFans retains a 20 percent share of subscriber fees, generating $1.3 billion in revenue last year alone. This model has proven highly profitable in capitalizing on digital adult content, yet the company recently encountered a significant regulatory challenge in an unexpected location.

Sweden, a nation that pioneered the legalization of pornography in 1971 as the world’s second country to do so, has maintained a firm stance against prostitution. Since 1999, Swedish law has penalized those who buy sexual services while shielding sellers, aiming to safeguard at-risk individuals from harsh penalties.

This framework now extends to online spaces. Effective July 1, purchasing tailored virtual sexual experiences, such as explicit messaging or custom videos, can result in up to one year behind bars for Swedes.

The legislation also outlaws facilitating or gaining financially from others providing on-demand sexual performances, prompting OnlyFans to cease operations in the country.

Even in a society often viewed as progressive on personal freedoms, the measure garnered widespread backing across political lines. “The goal is to treat buyers of remote sexual services the same as those engaging in physical encounters,” explained Gunnar Strommer, Sweden’s Minister of Justice from the center-right Moderate Party.

In contrast, the United States enforces tougher restrictions on traditional prostitution, making both buying and selling illegal nationwide except in select Nevada counties.

Nonetheless, OnlyFans operates legally in every state. This has enabled its parent company, Fenix International Limited, headquartered in London, to reap substantial profits from countless explicit communications and live sessions.

Bipartisan voices in Congress are increasingly highlighting the platform’s potential links to online exploitation. Some have singled out OnlyFans directly. “Exploitation of Americans is rampant on OnlyFans,” declared Rep. Ann Wagner, a Republican from Missouri. “It’s time for Congress and federal authorities to step up.”

Wagner authored the 2018 FOSTA-SESTA legislation, enacted under President Donald Trump, which empowered prosecutors to pursue websites enabling sex sales and held platforms accountable for user-posted promotions of such activities.

Adopting a Sweden-style policy could devastate OnlyFans’ finances, given that about one-fourth of its creators are U.S. women and nearly two-thirds of its income stems from American users.

Swedish lawmaker Sanna Backeskog, a key supporter of the new rules, emphasized, “We’re addressing digitized prostitution, where lines between adult entertainment and exploitation fade.”

Demand for virtual intimate content shows no signs of waning, with OnlyFans reportedly valued at $8 billion in a potential acquisition

On Tuesday night’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, Laura revealed that she had exclusively obtained a criminal referral for none other than Democrat Senator Adam Schiff — and the allegations are explosive.

The criminal referral, reportedly submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice by Housing Director Bill Pulte, accuses Schiff of falsifying bank documents and property records over a period of 16 years in order to score more favorable mortgage terms.

The fraudulent activity allegedly spanned from 2003 to 2019, and centers on a lavish Potomac, Maryland home — while Schiff simultaneously maintained a questionable condo in Burbank, California.

“The referral, submitted to the DOJ by Housing Director Bill Pulte, alleges that Schiff has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms—impacting payments from 2003 to 2019 for a Potomac, Maryland-based property. Schiff owns a home in California and another in Maryland,” said Ingraham.

“Well, perhaps—perhaps—when the Democrats decided to have Mr. High and Mighty Adam Schiff head an impeachment witch hunt against Trump, they should have done their due diligence—not just on their absurd allegations, but on their own chairman.”

Former federal prosecutor Jonathan Fahey joined Laura Ingraham to analyze the criminal referral.

Laura Ingraham:
onathan, look, the mortgage fraud issue might seem technical, or like it’s just a small, minor thing—but what can you tell us?

Jonathan Fahey (00:01:12.16)
Well, when Trump does it, they make it seem like the biggest deal ever—like they alleged in the New York case. That’s a fun irony here.

But basically, it’s lying on a mortgage application to get more favorable loan terms. When you say it’s your primary residence, you get a more favorable loan term than if it’s a rental residence or something else.

What’s really interesting about this—Adam—this was not just coming from President Trump. In 2023, CNN reported on this issue.
He’s, on one hand, saying he’s a resident of California to run for office—to run for the House, and then for the Senate—and also taking a deduction in California based on claiming residency in California.

For the IRS, also, you can’t claim residency in both California and Maryland. He’s got a lot of issues, because it seems like, however this breaks down, it looks like he’s saying one thing here, one thing there. He can’t be a resident in both places.

So it’s either: was he lying in California, or lying in Maryland to get more favorable loan terms?

But the irony is so rich here—with all of the Adam Schiff stuff: Russiagate, the first impeachment, and now this.

It’s pretty funny.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that President Trump announced on Tuesday that loathsome Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been caught allegedly committing mortgage fraud by Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud.”

“Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA,” Trump added.” I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.”

“Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

In 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that Schiff has claimed his primary residence as Maryland.

In April 2023, a concerned citizen from the state of California uncovered what is believed to be crimes committed by Schiff.

Schiff was elected to Congress in 2000. In 2003, he reportedly purchased a home in Maryland with his wife, stating they would occupy this home for 12 consecutive months as their “primary residence.” Despite this claim, Schiff continued to vote in California.

Schiff’s primary residence is a large 3,420-square-foot home in tony Montgomery County. He reportedly maintains a little condo in Burbank, California, as another “primary” residence likely to reduce his tax bill.

It’s questionable whether he even goes there.

Schiff refinanced his Maryland home in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013. In 2009, a House Ethics investigation claimed that Schiff did this, and Schiff argued it was an error, and he repaid the exempt taxes to the state of Maryland.
