Kash Patel is being driven around in specially armored BMWs that the FBI purchased at his request, according to a new report from MS NOW shared over the past hour. MS NOW stated Patel had pressed the FBI earlier this year for a new, more modern jet for his use, but the proposal was abandoned over cost estimates. The report was posted on X by Kyle Griffin during the reporting window. Vice President J.D. Vance posted on X over the past hour paraphrasing rapper Nicki Minaj's Amfest comments: 'just because I want little black girls to think they're beautiful doesn't mean I need to put down little girls with blonde hair and blue eyes.' Vance wrote that elites have pitted groups against each other in zero-sum thinking, stating Minaj rejects it and all should. Vance's post follows his recent statement, shared by Rep. Ro Khanna on X, accusing Khanna, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Sen. Chris Murphy of denying jobs to his children over skin color. Separately, silver prices reached $69 per ounce, up from $29 one year ago, per Spectator Index.
