Musician and close ally of President Trump, Robert Ritchie, known more commonly as Kid Rock, flew to Fort Belvoir in Virginia this morning on his private jet from his home in Nashville, Tennessee. There, Rock met with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, for a “joy ride” on a pair of AH-64E Apache Guardians with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, which are normally stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, multiple Army sources have told Drop Site News.

Just last month, AH-64 Apaches with the 101st Airborne Division were filmed hovering outside of Rock’s multi-million dollar home in Nashville during a “training exercise,” leading to the announced suspension of the pilots and an investigation by the U.S. Army, an investigation which was quickly closed and the pilots reinstated by Defense Secretary Hegseth. A Spokesperson for Fort Belvoir referred all questions about today’s event to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced additional sanctions against Iranian banking networks that fund the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Per the release, sanctions targeted private companies known as “Rahbars” that help blacklisted banks employ shadow banking networks to help fund the regime, Iran’s Armed Forces General Staff (AFGS), Iran’s National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), and the IRGC.
