Why is Hitler’s yacht off the coast of this Florida beach? Here’s the answer
SUMMARY: Nearly five miles off Miami Beach lies the sunken yacht Ostwind, once owned by Adolf Hitler. Commissioned in 1938 as an Olympic racing yacht, it never competed. Hitler planned to use it to accept Winston Churchill’s surrender after a German victory, but history intervened. After WWII, the U.S. Navy used the vessel for training before it was sold in the 1970s to a Nazi memorabilia collector. Eventually abandoned, the yacht was acquired by a marina owner who sank it off Miami in 1989 as an artificial reef. Other objects sunk nearby include tanks, airplanes, and oil rig structures, creating underwater habitats.

Rumors swirl of Elon Musk’s Boring Co. eyeing Orlando tunnel along I-Drive
SUMMARY: Rumors suggest Elon Musk’s Boring Company may develop an underground tunnel along Orlando’s International Drive (I-Drive), similar to the Las Vegas Loop that opened in 2021. The proposed tunnel would connect Universal Studios with key I-Drive destinations like the convention center and potentially a future Brightline station. Local leaders and business executives, including I-Drive Business executive Joshua Wallach, are excited by the idea, seeing it as innovative and fitting for the tech-savvy tourist district. While nothing is confirmed, Orange County officials are monitoring developments, awaiting responses from Universal and The Boring Company. The project promises advanced, sustainable transportation with a “pizzazz.”
Buzz is building along Orlando’s International Drive over speculation that billionaire Elon Musk’s Boring Company could bring a Las Vegas-style underground transportation system to the heart of the city’s tourist district.

Fallout over Epstein files cascades, roiling relations between AG Pam Bondi and FBI’s Dan Bongino
SUMMARY: The Justice Department and FBI are struggling to manage far-right conservatives’ backlash after deciding not to release more Jeffrey Epstein investigation records. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino clashed at the White House over withheld documents, including the denial of a “client list” Epstein supposedly had. Despite prior promises, the agencies concluded further disclosure was unwarranted, frustrating Trump supporters who expected evidence of a cover-up. The release of a jail suicide video with a missing minute fueled conspiracy theories. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche refuted claims of internal discord, while Bongino’s future remains uncertain amid ongoing tensions.
