Kiev Regime’s rampant corruption is hitting the press.

Ever since July 2025, it is widely known that the apartment of Timur Mindich was wiretapped by Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies NABU and SAPO.

Mindich is a close friend of Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky, and they both co-own the Kvartal-95 studio.

Mindich is also a fugitive from Ukrainian justice, hiding out in Israel, accused by NABU and SAPO of masterminding a $100 million embezzlement and kickback scheme at the state nuclear energy company Energoatom.

Scandalous Ukrainian businessman, Timur Mindich, a key figure in the government’s corruption case, gave an interview from Israel:

Ukrainska Pravda reported:

“At that time, many were skeptical about this information. However, already in November, when anti-corruption activists published the first fragments of the ‘Mindich tapes’ as part of Operation Midas, it became clear not only that the wiretapping of the apartment at 9th Hrushevsky Street existed, but also that a number of top officials were caught on the tapes.”

And already in July 2025, it was widely reported that one of the people caught in the wiretap was ‘Vova’, as you can read in GOLDEN TOILET SECRETS: Ukrainian Sources Allege Anti-corruption Wiretaps Recorded Zelensky’s Shady Deals in His Friend and ‘Treasurer’ Mindich’s Gilded Bathroom.

The suspects in embezzlement include the former Minister of Energy and ex-Minister of Justice German Galushchenko, and the former all-powerful head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak.

Besides the investigators and prosecutors, these recordings have also been provided to defense attorneys, and 10 volumes of materials were sent to Israel as a request for the extradition of Timur Mindich.

“Therefore, the number of persons to whom the investigation materials got seems to have become so large that the other day individual fragments began to ‘leak’ into the network. Moreover, this ‘leak’ occurred in order to discredit NABU and SAPO, which documented these fragments as part of the largest anti-corruption operation in the history of the country.”

Hours after Zelensky’s spat with Israel, Ukrainian media leaks private talks between Zelensky’s bagman Mindich and top officials

‘I spoke with Vova before Shabbat… He says this is all a clusterf*ck,’ Mindich says in Russian, clearly referring to Zelensky

The Kyiv Independent reported:

“The released tapes allegedly feature Mindich and then-Defense Minister Umerov, now secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council and head of a Ukrainian delegation in the U.S.-Ukraine-Russia peace talks, discussing defense contracts, including drones and bulletproof vests, personnel changes, and the possible sale of the Fire Point defense company.”

Mindich is allegedly swaying the decisions of the then-defense minister.

The missile company (who made no missiles) Fire Point is the subject of a corruption probe, exploring its connections to Mindich.

“While Mindich had previously denied any involvement with the company, the now-revealed talks show him complaining to Umerov about Fire Point’s underfunding. The two were also reportedly discussing the sale of a 33% share in the company to foreign investors.

Umerov was allegedly asking Mindich on how to approach decisions tied to Fire Point, asking him whether ‘it will suit us?’ when discussing the sale.”

Mindich also mention ‘Vova’: ‘I spoke with Vova before Shabbat’.

New ‘Mindich’ tapes are set to be released soon. Stay tuned.

Violence against Christians in Nigeria has continued without pause through the first four months of 2026. According to Intersociety, 1,402 Christians were killed and 1,800 abducted across the country in the first 96 days of the year, from January 1 through Easter Monday, April 6.

The killing accelerated through the religious calendar: attacks struck Christian communities in Benue and Plateau states in the days around Christmas 2025 and continued into the new year without pause, with the pace intensifying sharply through Lent.

The Holy Week alone claimed 102 Christian lives between March 28 and April 4, and 34 more were killed on Easter Sunday alone. Open Doors, in its 2026 World Watch List, reported that of 4,849 Christians killed globally for their faith between October 2024 and September 2025, 3,490 (72 percent) were Nigerians, an increase from 3,100 the prior year.

Intersociety further estimates that one in ten abducted Christians does not return alive, meaning the 1,800 abductions recorded through early April represent an additional death toll still unfolding.

The final week of April brought a new wave of attacks across multiple states. In Adamawa State, ISWAP attacked the Christian community of Kubako village on April 21, killing 12 Christians and burning a church. An Islamic State social media account described the attackers as “soldiers of the Caliphate” who raided the village, targeting Christians who had refused to convert to Islam or accept dhimmi status as subjugated people under Islamic rule.

The following day, April 22, armed militants stormed the Mayo-Ladde community in Hong Local Government Area, arriving on motorcycles, opening fire on residents, and operating for hours with little resistance, killing nine people. Local vigilantes and hunters who served as first-line defense were overpowered.

On April 26, ISWAP carried out its deadliest attack of the week, striking Sangere Mapindi community in Gombi Local Government Area of Adamawa State. Militants raided a football gathering, opened fire on residents, then pursued those fleeing into the village, burning homes, motorcycles, and a church. Witnesses cited by Nigerian broadcaster TVC News reported that 28 men and one woman were killed. Eyewitness Philip Agabus said residents had gathered at a football pitch when insurgents entered and began shooting at random.

The attack lasted several hours. ISWAP claimed responsibility through the SITE Intelligence Group, stating it had killed at least 25 Christians and torched a church and nearly 100 motorcycles. Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri visited the site and confirmed at least 29 killed, describing the attack as “an affront to our humanity.” BBC Verify geolocated photos from Fintiri’s visit to Sangere Mapindi, approximately four kilometers southeast of Guyaku, where the attack was initially reported. Verified video footage showed burn damage inside the village church, including an overturned drum kit and abandoned keyboard, along with charred motorcycles outside the primary school.

The pastor of the targeted church appealed for security protection, and Fintiri’s spokesperson reported that many families had abandoned their homes out of fear of further attacks.

On the same day as the Guyaku attack, armed men raided an orphanage in north-central Nigeria and abducted 23 children. Authorities subsequently rescued 15, and the government said operations were ongoing to recover the remaining eight. No group claimed responsibility. The Nigerian government did not disclose the ages of the children, though the term used in the official statement, “pupils,” typically refers to primary school-age children up to age 12 in Nigerian usage.

Also on April 26, gunmen ambushed a vehicle carrying Christian schoolgirls traveling from Akwando village to Kachia town in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, according to International Christian Concern, citing field reporting by TruthNigeria. The attackers opened fire on the vehicle and abducted eight passengers, including six named students, Augustina Muntari, Happy Muntari, Favour Tanimu, Patience Joseph, Peace Irimiya, and Bishara Irimiya, along with the driver and one other passenger.

One student, Purity Babangida, was killed while attempting to escape. At least 15 other students fled into the bush and reached nearby communities after trekking for several hours. TruthNigeria documented at least seven separate attacks on the Akwando–Kachia road since January 2026, making the April 26 incident the first in that series to specifically target schoolchildren.

In Plateau State, coordinated overnight attacks across Bassa, Barkin Ladi, and Riyom local government areas on approximately April 19–20 killed at least eight Christians and injured ten others. In Kpasho, Kwall District, armed men ambushed four youth on a motorcycle, killing one at the scene and a second later in the hospital. Attackers then struck the Hurum Gashish NTV community in Barkin Ladi, killing four and wounding five. An International Community on Nigeria volunteer stated that security operatives present near the attack site “intentionally refused to intervene.”

Katsina State also saw multiple attacks during the same period. On April 26, bandits attacked Gurbi Village in Kankara Local Government Area, killing 11 people and injuring two before security forces arrived and the attackers fled. On April 28, heavily armed bandits invaded Unguwar Bido and Unguwar Kanawa villages in Dandume Local Government Area. Police engaged the attackers, repelled the assault, arrested one suspect, and two injured residents were taken to the hospital. Victims in the Katsina attacks have not been identified by religion in police statements.

In Zamfara State, residents of Bakkere village in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area repelled a bandit attack in the early hours of April 29 after community members detected suspicious movements and mobilized local youths and vigilante groups. Villagers from neighboring settlements moved to block escape routes, trapping the attackers and forcing their retreat through abandoned footpaths toward Jabanda village, an area locals identify as a transit route for criminal groups. No killings, abductions, or looting were recorded in Bakkere.

In a separate incident, the same day, suspected bandits raided Kucheri village in Tsafe Local Government Area, looting shops before security forces arrived and drove off the attackers. Mukhtar Yau Madobi, a research fellow at the Centre for Crisis Communication, described the Bakkere resistance as evidence that intelligence sharing, swift mobilization, and inter-community collaboration can complement formal security operations against armed groups.

The Nigerian government has disputed characterizations of the violence as a targeted campaign against Christians, citing data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), which recorded 1,923 attacks on civilians across Nigeria between January and November 2025, of which 50 were assessed as targeting victims specifically because of their Christian faith. However, ACLED’s methodology classifies an attack as religiously motivated only when perpetrators explicitly state a religious motive, in a claim of responsibility, a statement, or documented communications.

When ISWAP raiders burn a church, kill the congregation, and describe the victims as “Christian combatants” who refused to convert, that attack meets the threshold. But when Fulani militants attack a village that is entirely Christian, kill the residents, and burn the homes without issuing a statement, ACLED may record the event as banditry or communal violence rather than religious persecution.

Critics, including Intersociety, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and various church organizations in Nigeria, argue that this coding methodology systematically undercounts faith-based targeting in contexts where perpetrators do not publicly declare their motives. President Donald Trump and other critics have argued that Nigerian authorities have failed to protect Christians from what they describe as genocide.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has once again proven that he’s the ultimate multitasker in the Trump administration.

On Wednesday afternoon, Rubio made an unannounced appearance in the White House briefing room.

With Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt currently on maternity leave, Rubio stepped to the podium and quipped that he was there “to mess with someone and carry out a joke.”

The moment quickly went viral, as Rubio has become famous for stepping up and handling multiple high-level roles in the Trump White House at once.

It has become a long-running meme that whenever a position is vacant, Rubio will be the one to fill it.

Rubio has been memed as everyone from Rambo to the Easter Bunny.

Rubio is currently the Secretary of State and Acting National Security Advisor, but he previously also served as Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Acting Archivist of the United States.

Media outlets have nicknamed him the “Secretary of Everything” because of how many jobs he’s juggled at once.

Officials at the Food and Drug Administration were well aware of serious safety issues associated with COVID-19 shots in early 2021, yet they intentionally overlooked these concerns.

During a Senate hearing on April 29, at minute mark 17:14, a bombshell interim report was made public by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), who serves as the Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI). The 39-page document is titled “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Signals.”

In the hearing, Sen. Johnson challenged listeners to “determine for yourself how the title is as accurate as it is incriminating.” He said the report includes “evidence of how federal health officials avoided creating a paper trail to prevent transparency and public disclosure in discussing how they’ve been warned of a major limitation of the FDA’s data mining system.” Because of this hearing, indisputable evidence has now emerged that FDA officials were concealing what they already knew.

Thanks to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Sen. Johnson said, “a clear picture of an obvious cover-up by federal health officials.”

Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals, PSI Hearing 4.29.26 https://t.co/eKJf9LoPeQ

— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) April 29, 2026

The report indicates, “Documents produced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) show that beginning in early 2021, Dr. Ana Szarfman, who at the time was a senior medical officer and safety data mining developer at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), used an updated data analysis technique that identified dozens of statistically significant safety signals for adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines.”

She promptly communicated her findings to other FDA officials, including those tasked with monitoring COVID-19 shot safety, but her concerns were largely disregarded, and she was eventually—or conveniently—instructed to cease her data analyses.

Senior officials at the FDA were aware of statistically significant safety signals indicating an increased risk of adverse events. These included acute myocardial infarction associated with the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shots, non-site-specific embolism and thrombosis related to Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) and Pfizer shots, dementia associated with the Pfizer shot, as well as instances of “Death and sudden death” associated with the Moderna and Pfizer shots.

Instead of alerting the public or pausing the distribution of the shots for further scrutiny, it seems that Biden’s health officials overlooked the statistically significant safety signals revealed by the new methodology and focused more on Dr. Szarfman’s efforts than on her concerning findings.

By May 2021, senior officials at the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) instructed Dr. Szarfman to delay her data mining reports on COVID-19 shot safety due to concerns it could “create erroneous conflicts that feed into anti-vaccination rhetoric.”

Despite this directive, Dr. Szarfman persisted in advocating for her data mining method, claiming it was more effective at detecting safety signals—signals that should have been shared with the public.

For instance, even after there was an “unambiguous acknowledgment of the myopericarditis signal, Biden health officials continued to fail to immediately warn the public about the risks of cardiac events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines.” In another example, available resources clearly indicated “higher statistically significant safety signals for acute myocardial infarction.”

According to the report, “Records indicate that FDA did not make any adjustments to its data mining methodology as recommended by Dr. Szarfman.”

A United Airlines passenger jet traveling from San Francisco to San Diego reportedly struck what the pilot described as a “red” and “shiny” object while descending toward the airport Wednesday morning, with multiple reports indicating it may have been a drone flying thousands of feet above legal limits.

According to reports, United Flight 1980, a Boeing 737-800, was on final approach at roughly 3,000 feet when the pilot radioed air traffic control after the apparent impact.

When asked to identify the object, the pilot reportedly said:

“It was so small… It was red. It was shiny.”

The aircraft landed safely at San Diego International Airport around 8:28 a.m. with 48 passengers and six crew members onboard. No injuries were reported. United later stated its maintenance team inspected the plane and found no visible damage.

The Mirror US reported:

Audio of the incident was captured by the ATC App. “Ground 1980, you know off of runway 27 at Broadway Robin?” asks the dispatcher. “We hit a drone. At around probably at around 3000 ft, about.”

“Do you have like an approximate size or how many engines or style or anything like that?” the dispatcher asks. “It was so small,” answers the United Airlines pilot. “I couldn’t tell. It was red. It was shiny.” It comes after another pilot uttered four chilling words before a plane crash that killed 146 on board.

No damage to the plane or injuries from the incident have been reported.

Actual collisions between commercial planes and drones are exceedingly rare, with 7 confirmed cases of direct in-flight contact worldwide as of early 2018, but reported close encounters (“near misses”) are rising rapidly, according to the Civil Aviation Authority.

NEW: Drone strike reported in San Diego, California, on a Boeing 737 jumbo jet operated by United Airlines.

According to officials, the drone hit the plane at about 3000 feet as it was coming in for a landing from San Francisco.
