Kash Patel Gets to Work – Immediately Moves 1,500 Agents from Headquarters Building, 500 FBI Agents Moved to Alabama
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/kash-patel-gets-work-immediately-moves-1500-agents/
The current FBI has become the most corrupt and partisan law enforcement agency in American history.
A 2023 Rasmussen poll found that nearly two-thirds of Americans believed that the FBI has been weaponized by politics.
The poll found forty-five percent (45%) view the FBI unfavorably, or nearly half of all Americans.
Earlier this month, the FBI admitted that 5,000 agents were assigned to work January 6 cases and harass and threaten hundreds of patriotic Americans who attended the January 6, 2021, protests in Washington, DC.
We also know that FBI Deputy Director Abbate reportedly told agents to hide DOZENS of J6 informants from the American public before Trump’s team took over. Abbate knew it would be “too embarrassing” for the agency if the American public really discovered all of their planning, plotting, and actions on January 6, 2021.
On Friday MAGA favorite Kash Patel was sworn in this week and immediately ordered 1,000 agents into the field. He also transported another 500 employees from DC to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Continue…
MSNBC Settles Lawsuit With Doctor They Smeared as ‘Uterus Collector’ at ICE Detention Facility
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/msnbc-settles-lawsuit-doctor-they-smeared-as-uterus/
Things just keep getting worse for the left-wing mainstream media.
NBC Universal has settled a lawsuit on behalf of MSNBC with a doctor the network falsely accused of committing numerous hysterectomies on female detainees at an ICE facility in rural Georgia.
The stories aired on MSNBC shows back in September 2020 hosted by the likes of Nicolle Wallace, Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, as well as various NBC News reports.
Amin was even dubbed as the “uterus collector,” despite no evidence he ever engaged in such activities.
The obstetrician-gynecologist responded to the reports by filing a lawsuit against NBCUniversal, demanding $20 million in punitive damages and a further $10 million in compensatory damages.
His lawsuit accused the network of portraying him as “an abusive, unethical, and dishonest physician who treated and operated on immigrant women in an abusive fashion, without consent, and motivated by profit instead of quality healthcare.”
Last June, U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood ruled that “the undisputed evidence establishes that multiple NBC statements are false.” Continue…
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers Has Eliminated ‘Mother’ and Replaced It With ‘Inseminated Person’ in State Law
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/wisconsin-gov-tony-evers-has-eliminated-mother-replaced/
Democrats have learned nothing from their crushing defeat last November.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has eliminated the term “mother” and replace it with “inseminated person” in the latest budget bill.
In the legislation put forward by his office, Evers crossed out the words “man,” “father,” “mother,” and “wife” in statutory language.
Evers also changed the terms mother and father to simply “parent who gave birth.”
Words such as “husband” and “wife” are also being replaced with “person” and spouse.” Continue…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided Abby’s Bakery in South Texas, arresting eight illegal aliens and slapping the bakery’s owners with charges of harboring and abetting criminals.
The bakery owners, Leonardo Baez and Nora Alicia Avila-Guel, admitted to knowingly hiring and sheltering illegal aliens—an act that flouts federal law and contributes to the ongoing border crisis.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) confirmed that the pair was charged with bringing in and harboring aliens and aiding and abetting the harboring of aliens, offenses that carry serious penalties under U.S. law. Continue…

Just when you thought the world had learned its lesson from the COVID-19 catastrophe, Chinese scientists have been busy in their labs—again—studying yet another bat coronavirus capable of infecting humans.
And guess who’s leading the charge? None other than Shi Zhengli, the infamous “Batwoman” of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the same institution at the center of the lab-leak theory that global elites have tried to bury. Continue…
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Lawyer Withdraws From Defending Him in Sex-Trafficking Case: ‘Under No Circumstances Can I Continue’
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/sean-diddy-combs-lawyer-withdraws-defending-him-sex/
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s predicament is getting worse by the day.
A lawyer for the disgraced rap mogul, who is facing charges for sex trafficking, has said he can no longer continue as his legal representation.
Defense attorney Anthony Ricco has withdrawn as one of Diddy’s six defense attorneys, saying “under no circumstances” could he continue in the role.
“Although I have provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” Ricco said in a statement to the court.
“There are sufficient reasons (related to the protections afforded by the attorney/client privilege) for brevity in my application for withdrawal as counsel in this case,” he continued. Continue…

Three Buses Explode in Israel in Suspected Terror Attack Prompting “Intense” Military Operation in West Bank
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/three-buses-explode-israel-suspected-terror-attack-prompting/
Three buses exploded in central Israel on Thursday in what authorities are calling a “suspected terror attack.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded swiftly, ordering an “intense military operation” in the West Bank to root out terrorist networks responsible for the attack.
Israeli police confirmed that three explosive devices detonated, while two additional bombs failed to go off.
The buses, located in a parking lot in Bat Yam and Holon, south of Tel Aviv, were not in service at the time, miraculously preventing mass casualties, according to The Time.
However, intelligence suggests the terrorists had intended for the bombs to detonate on Friday when the buses would have been packed with passengers.
Each device was equipped with a timer, and one bore a message in both Hebrew and Arabic: “Revenge from Tulkarem,” a reference to a recent Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, according to the Times of Israel.
The news outlet reported: Continue…
Watch: SpaceX-Backed EVTOL Takes Flight, 'Jumps' SUV In City
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/watch-spacex-backed-flying-car-jumps-car-city
Alef Aeronautics, a San Mateo, California-based startup backed by SpaceX and specializing in flying cars, published a series of videos this week showcasing the "ultralight version" of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle flying in an urban environment.
"Alef released the video of the test, making it a first-ever video in history of a car driving and vertically taking off," the startup wrote in a press release, adding, "While previous videos exist of cars driving and using a runway to take off, videos of tethered flights, and eVTOL flying taxis taking off, this is the first publicly released video of a car driving and taking off vertically."
About a year ago, Alef received a Special Airworthiness Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration for its Model A, which allowed the startup to fly the eVTOL in limited locations for exhibition, research, and development, such as the latest demonstration. Continue…
Russia Says It's Retaken 64% Of Kursk Territory Lost After Ukraine Offensive
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-says-its-retaken-64-kursk-territory-lost-after-ukraine-offensive
Ukraine's Zelensky has previously signaled he hopes to get territory in the Donbass back from Russia by swapping it in return for Kursk. Ukraine's ambitious and high-risk Kursk offensive began in early August, and has resulted in dozens of towns and hundreds of square kilometers brought under Ukrainian military occupation.
But in a status update issued Friday, Russia's military declared that most of the territory has since been taken back, saying that nearly 65% of what was lost has been regained.
"More than 800 square kilometers [309 square miles] have been liberated, which amounts to about 64% of the territory initially occupied," Sergei Rudskoi, first deputy head of Russia's General Staff, told a military newspaper. Continue…
Arctic Defense: The Growing Geopolitical Battle For The North
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/arctic-defense-growing-geopolitical-battle-north
The Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line) runs north of the Arctic Circle from Alaska in the west to Baffin Island in the east, then continues across Greenland.
It was built by the United States, with the cooperation of Canada, at the height of the Cold War in the 1950s as a defence against the Soviet Union.
Most of the self-sufficient bases on this line had a paved runway, with equipment and personnel necessary to keep the runway cleared. The bases had to be operational for the dozens of fighter planes that were kept at the ready by U.S. Strategic Air Command, in case Soviet jets came over the North Pole.
Most of those sites fell into disuse, and the DEW Line became the North Warning System. Not much has happened since then.
Although the federal government has promised to address the deterioration of our defences, nothing of substance has been done by Ottawa to deal more effectively with the defence of our vast North. Similarly, although the government has promised to modernize its NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) commitments, it has been largely ignored.
The Trump administration has made it clear that it finds Canada’s defence readiness to be unacceptable. The complaint is legitimate. ontinue…
First In-Orbit Image Released From Classified X-37 Spaceplane
https://www.zerohedge.com/military/first-orbit-image-released-classified-x-37-spaceplane
On Thursday evening, the Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs published the first-ever in-orbit image captured by Boeing's X-37 spaceplane, which was shared on the DVIDS website.
USAF Public Affairs described the photo, taken by an onboard camera designed to monitor the X-37's "health and safety," as showing Earth in the distant background during a series of "experiments in a highly elliptical orbit in 2024."
"As part of the X-37 B's seventh mission, the vehicle executed a series of first-of-its-kind maneuvers, called aerobraking, to safely change its orbit using minimal fuel," the public affairs office said.
The top-secret spaceplane, built by Boeing and operated by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office and the Space Force, has spent years in space quietly conducting classified missions. Its real purpose has yet to be revealed.
With each successive top-secret mission, the X-37B spends long and longer time in orbit:
OTV-1: launched on Apr. 22, 2010 and landed on Dec. 3, 2010, spending over 224 days in orbit.
OTV-2: launched on Mar. 5, 2011 and landed on Jun. 16, 2012, spending over 468 days in orbit.
OTV-3: launched on Dec. 11, 2012 and landed on Oct. 17, 2014, spending over 674 days in orbit.
OTV-4: launched on May 20, 2015 and landed on May 7, 2015, spending nearly 718 days in orbit.
OTV-5: launched on Sept. 7, 2017 and landed on Oct. 27, 2019, spending nearly 780 days in orbit.
OTV-6: launched on May 17, 2020 and landed on Nov. 12, 2022, spending over 908 days in orbit.
OTV-7: launched on Dec. 29, 2023 … still ongoing…
In the age of DOGE, perhaps it's time for the Space Force to provide more color on the spaceplane's objectives to determine if the return on investment for taxpayers is truly justified.
These Are The Countries Who Depend On Remittances The Most
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/these-are-countries-who-depend-remittances-most
Remittance inflows to low- and middle-income countries rose to $685 billion in 2024, up from $647 billion the previous year, according to estimates from the World Bank.
Globally, remittances also grew, reaching $905 billion.
In absolute terms, India ($129 billion), Mexico ($68 billion), and China ($48 billion) remained the top recipients of remittances in 2024. However, it’s smaller and poorer economies that feel the impact the most, as these inflows make up a significant share of their economies. Tajikistan, where remittances accounted for 45.4 percent of GDP in 2024, is one such case. OECD analysts say this is partly driven by the higher demand in Russia for migrant workers.
As Statista's Anna Fleck shows in the following chart, three of the top four countries where remittances made up the largest share of GDP were classified as highly fragile by the OECD. Continue…
