In December 2024, 14-year-old Emmarae Gervasi disappeared from her Long Island home barefoot and without a jacket.
For 26 days, her father, Frank, barely stopped searching.
He offered a $15,000 reward, flooded social media with pleas for information and followed every lead he could find.
Then, on January 3, 2025, he received a tip.
Emmarae was supposedly being held on a boat docked in Islip.
Frank drove there himself.
Before police even arrived, he forced his way onto the vessel and found his daughter alive inside.
“I did find her myself before the police got there,” he later said.
“It was 26 days of hell.”
Police soon arrested Francis Buckheit.
Prosecutors later alleged Emmarae had been held on his 56-foot boat for weeks and s**ually ab*sed there.
Then the case widened.
Other suspects were arrested on allegations that Emmarae had been se*ually exploited for drugs and money while she was missing.
By August 2026, authorities had arrested 13 people connected to the case, and at least one defendant had pleaded guilty to sex trafficking.
After nearly a month missing, Emmarae’s father was the person who finally opened the door and brought her home.
The amount of Patriot interceptor missiles the US are using to counter Iranian attacks is mind-boggling. Between 60 and 100 missiles, possibly even more, fired in a matter of minutes, the majority being PAC-3 MSE interceptors.
It is obvious that Iran is deliberately exhausting US stockpiles using rather cheap missiles. The political backlash in the US is already huge, and any further uncoordinated escalation is primarily hurting the US and the West altogether.
The Iranian regime has also nothing seriously to fear from the Trump administration, because of the wasted time in the beginning of the year. Only a full-scale invasion would change their calculus, but of course, there is virtually a zero chance that this is going to happen. Hence, they are feeling emboldened.
The White House is even not capable to grasp or admit that Tehran is clearly coordinating with Russia. The coordination is certainly going beyond providing target coordinates of US troops. Not to mention the surging oil price which helps them both.
The only good news is that Ukraine is depleting Russia, and by extension Iran. But Washington is clearly squandering that momentum.
Without any serious grand strategy by the US administration, which would also consider the inclusion of allies and partners, this whole war is a blunder of epic proportions. It is only the latest example how important a clear strategy, solid alliances and trust are.
Reuters reports that China’s state-owned shipping giant COSCO has used concealed equipment aboard its vessels for decades to collect signals intelligence for Beijing, according to two senior Trump administration officials. The officials say the systems can collect communications from military aircraft and vessels across North America, Europe and Asia, as well as information on military communications technology, encryption and key maritime routes.
The War Zone adds that China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law requires Chinese organizations and citizens to support state intelligence work when required, while a 2025 U.S. Naval War College study found that China’s civilian maritime sector can support intelligence collection. The Pentagon also placed COSCO on its list of companies linked to China’s military in January 2025, although the designation is not a formal sanction.
The specific equipment and ships involved have not been publicly identified, and China’s embassy in Washington called the allegations “totally baseless.” COSCO did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment.

Are you kidding me? This was filmed August 25, 2024 in the nightlife scene in Bab Touma. Yes, over 2 years ago. Do you even understand what you are posting? Now ALL nightlife venues in Bab Touma and Bab Sharqi were converted into dry cafes. Go and enjoy it, haha. Regurgitating terrorist propaganda helps no one.
The Pinellas Park Police Department says a narcotics investigation ended with the arrest of a convenience store owner and his employee who are accused of selling illegal THC products and other controlled substances near an elementary school. https://t.co/QX4XIbYkVV
We also lost 13 at Abbey Gate and I’ve seen you put in NO requests to bring the two masterminds, Sanaullah Ghaffari and Sirajuddin Haqqani to justice. Also, zero from you on the fact that Osama bin Laden’s own son, Abdullah, was also involved in plotting Abbey Gate. Politicking off the deaths of those who serve is cringe, at best.
@SteveL_99 Save the Iranian football's women team. They didn't chant the Islamic regime anthem and now their lives are in serious danger. It's really ridiculous that it's right happening on March 8 the national women's day. Be their voices.

@RepAOC No body cares about your statement. Your opinion means nothing. Be happy for the Iranian people. You can’t because it doesn’t help you cause does it?
