Kash Patel's country singer girlfriend fends off ‘disheartening' conspiracy theories she's honeypotting the FBI boss
The 26-year-old country artist said the skeptics are contorting her backstory, even as she acknowledged she can 'understand' it.
'I think people see certain pieces and I get it,' Wilkins told the 'Megyn Kelly Show' on Wednesday.

'They want to connect things, they want to justify, some of the pain that they've been through watching the last four years, and there's pieces of this that, you know, I can understand,' she continued.
'I think that they've taken just these pieces of evidence that you laid out and tie them together in all of the wrong ways.'

Conspiracy theories about Wilkins exploded on the internet after the Justice Department and FBI's July 6 memo about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which concluded that the evidence suggests Epstein killed himself in prison and did not keep an 'incriminating client list.'
Some of the trolls speculated that the Arkansas-raised singer was a Mossad agent intended to compromise Patel, 45, and at least one of them misidentified her as Jewish.

One thread used to make that conspiratorial leap is Wilkins' work for PragerU, a conservative nonprofit that seeks to educate the public on key political issues.
The CEO of PragerU, Marissa Streit, previously served in the Israeli army.
Wilkins is Armenian and Christian and does not appear to have any known ties to Israel.

When Kelly asked point-blank whether she was a spy for any foreign government, Wilkins replied, 'Definitely not, that is a firm no on that front.'
Earlier this month, the country singer ripped into the online conspiracy theorists, raging that they are 'farming' for attention 'because their engagement dried up after Trump's win.'
'It's disappointing to see people with no real contribution to political discourse spin ridiculous conspiracy theories out of thin air,' Wilkins bemoaned in an X post. 'These accusations are obviously insanely ridiculous.'
Patel and Wilkins met at a friend's event in Nashville in 2022 and began dating several months later in early 2023.
'We just happened to meet,' Wilkins recounted, noting that the 19-year age gap she has with him always felt irrelevant.
'I have always liked [him], when I met him, I just liked that he was so, so honest,' Wilkins gushed. 'He's exactly who he is all the time. His character is incredible. His values are incredible.
'We both are very patriotic. So obviously there are things there that we definitely agree on, but he's just the most honest, you know, most integrity I've really experienced in a person, he's fantastic.'

The country singer, who hosts a Rumble show, acknowledged there's 'not enough information out there about me to glean a real conclusion on all of this kind of vigilante research.'
She mused that those gaps have given room for internet trolls to fill with conspiracy theories, which she lamented as 'incredibly disheartening.'
Patel has been 'very frustrated' and 'unhappy' with the hate and suspicion directed her way over the Epstein drama, Wilkins said.

She also underscored that Patel's work on the Epstein drama is 'limited to the government side' and that she has 'no awareness besides what everyone else is seeing.'
'If people stop calling me a spy, absolutely,' she replied when asked if she wants to see more Epstein files released.

Michigan man sentenced for traveling with explosive devices to Massachusetts
A 31-year-old man has been sentenced for traveling with several explosive devices from Michigan to Massachusetts, federal officials said on Friday. A judge sentenced Luke Isaac Terpstra to three years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Michigan. He pleaded guilty to possession of an unregistered destructive device in April. Between late summer and early fall of 2023, Terpestra built several improvised explosive devices, also known as IEDs, the attorney's office said. In September of that same year, he traveled from Grant, Michigan, to Salem, Massachusetts, with the devices, multiple firearms and ammunition. One IED had coins attached to its side, while another had rifle ammunition attached. Both devices had a piece of cannon fuse on them, according to the attorney's office. Terpstra said he built the IEDs because he wanted to destroy a Satanic Temple by setting it on fire, officials said. The Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with the Grant Police Department, Kent County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police on the case. "The sentence in this case is significant and it reinforces that individuals who build bombs with the intent to injure innocent civilians and destroy property will be held accountable," U.S. Attorney Timothy VerHey said in a news release on Friday.

Woman, Who Just Turned 107, Reveals Her Simple Secret to a Long and Happy Life
Mildred Baron, who was born in 1918, credits her positive mindset for seeing her through the Great Depression, World War II and the COVID-19 pandemicNEED TO KNOW New Jersey resident Mildred Baron, who turned 107 in June, is sharing her simple secret to a long and happy life She said it's all about having a positive mindset 'Be very calm, be peaceful and adopt my saying: 'This too shall pass,' ' she explainedFor centenarian Mildred Baron, life is all about having a positive mindset. The Freehold, N.J., resident, who celebrated her 107th birthday in June, is sharing her simple secret to enjoying a long and happy life. "Be very calm, be peaceful and adopt my saying: 'This too shall pass,' ' she told local outlet Asbury Park Press (APP). Baron said that spirit has carried her through many ups and downs across the decades. Born in 1918 to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, N.Y., she was a toddler when the Prohibition era began in the U.S. She then experienced the World War II, the Great Depression and the COVID-19 pandemic. She recalled watching all of the men she knew get drafted into the war in '40s. 'But as I said, that too, passed,' she noted. Baron also remembered standing in breadlines during the Great Depression and her mother feeding her family of five with a single sack of potatoes. During WWII, Baron found a job in accounting and continued the occupation for 42 years until her retirement. These days, she enjoys a full life that includes eating spicy foods, creating 3D art and attending afternoon cocktail parties with friends. After joking to APP that beer is her drink of choice, Baron quickly changed her answer to ginger ale. "Can't go wrong with that,' she said. Baron also relishes time with family, including her 80-year-old daughter, Bonnie Greenstein, two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Greenstein described her mother to APP as "intelligent" and "a talented artist [who] knows what's going on in the world." "She just gets it," Greenstein told the outlet. Shortly before her 100th birthday in 2018, Baron moved into the Applewood Village senior living community, where she is "always the life of the party," according to the residence's executive director, Keith Grady. "She's always been a concerned resident for others, just a real great neighbor to have," he said.

Baron is one of 2,367 residents in New Jersey who are 100 years old or older as of 2025, according to World Population Review. She is five years younger than the oldest verified living person in the state, 112-year-old Launa Mitchell of Lakewood, according to LongeviQuest.
