Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Now it makes perfect sense…

Major banks provide Jeffrey Epstein documents to House Oversight Committee.
Major banks provide Jeffrey Epstein documents to House Oversight Committee.
Democrats on the panel said they intend to release the records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank in the coming days. The House Oversight Committee has received new materials from major financial institutions as part of its investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The files from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank have not yet been publicly released, though Democrats on the panel say they expect to release them in the coming days after a review. These documents are separate from the federal law enforcement records Congress voted to make public last month; the Justice Department is required to make those materials public later this month. “[House Oversight Democrats] intend to release files to the public in the days ahead,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, in a post on X. A spokesperson for the committee’s Republican majority confirmed the receipt of the materials. The committee also received materials from the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned his infamous private compound. Democrats publicly posted videos and photos of the private island from this tranche Wednesday. Meanwhile, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers asked Wednesday for a meeting with Justice Department personnel to ascertain what information is in its possession and is subject to release. Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Kt.) and Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) told Attorney General Pam Bondi in a letter that that they are “particularly focused on understanding the contents of any new evidence, information or procedural hurdles that could interfere with the Department’s ability meet this statutory deadline.” The lawmakers, who were the lead sponsors of the Epstein files legislation, asked for a briefing no later than Friday and urged the DOJ to coordinate with the lawyers for Epstein’s accusers. The Justice Department did not immediately return a request for comment.
