Just hours after being sworn in as the new FBI Director, sources say Kash Patel has been appointed as the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). This move comes as part of a broader reshuffling within federal law enforcement, with Patel expected to bring his strong background in counterterrorism and national security to his new role. With the ATF’s growing focus on combatting violent crime and illegal firearms trafficking, Patel’s leadership is anticipated to be pivotal in shaping the agency’s future direction.

According to several sources, President Donald Trump is expected to name Patel as the acting director of the ATF. He would replace Marvin Richardson, the agency’s current acting director.

On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi dismissed the ATF general counsel, Pamela Hicks. She had served as chief counsel since 2021 under the Biden administration and as deputy chief counsel for ATF during Trump’s first administration. Bondi accused the current leadership at the ATF of targeting law-abiding gun owners.

The ATF is responsible for regulating firearm sales and registrations among…

If Trump Can Rename the Gulf of America, Why Can’t a Trans Person Adopt a New Pronoun – Twitchy
February 23, 2025
As we’ve reported earlier, the Associated Press is butthurt that it’s been barred from Air Force One and the Oval Office for not changing its style guide to refer to the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico. It may seem petty, but look at all the examples in The Associated Press Stylebook over the pThe Associatedast few years telling its reporters what to say and what to avoid. A couple of years ago, for example, the AP updated its guidelines on the use of “pregnant people” to make it easier to write stories about “people who seek an abortion.” “Except in direct quotations, do not use the terms illegal alien, an illegal, illegals or undocumented,” the AP directed. The AP thinks it’s the only entity that can control thought by controlling the language, so it’s no surprise they’re butthurt of the Gulf of America executive order. Even Apple Maps and Google Maps have gotten with the program and updated their apps. Someone at the Sacramento Bee had a brilliant retort: If Trump can rename a body of water, why can’t a transgender person adopt a new name and pronoun? If Trump can rename the Gulf of Mexico, why can’t a trans person… Read the full article here […]
Trump Is Unlikely To Pull All US Troops Out Of Central Europe Or Abandon NATO’s Article 5
February 23, 2025
Authored by Andrew Korybko via substack, Germany’s Bild cited unnamed members of Western security services to sensationally report that Trump is allegedly planning to pull all US troops out of Central Europe in compliance with one of the security guarantee requests that Putin put forth in December 2021 as an attempt to avert the special operation. Friedrich Merz, the frontrunner to become Germany’s next Chancellor, shortly thereafter publicly declared that his country must prepare for the possibility that Trump abandons NATO’s Article 5. He’s unlikely to do either of these things, but American policy towards NATO will certainly change in the coming future, which will likely take the form of what was detailed in the policy brief that was published at the Trump-affiliated Center for Renewing America in February 2023. Titled “Pivoting the US Away from Europe to a Dormant NATO”, it describes how the US can get the EU to defend Europe while the US focuses on containing China in Asia and was analyzed here last July, which readers should review. This goal explains why Trump is demanding that all NATO allies spend 5% of GDP on defense and accounts for the nascent Read the full article here […]

St. John’s optimistic RJ Luis Jr. will play vs. rival UConn
February 23, 2025
RJ Luis Jr. is making progress with his pulled groin. St. John’s leading scorer practiced Saturday and there is optimism he will be available Sunday against Connecticut at the Garden, according to a source. Luis missed Wednesday’s blowout of DePaul with the injury. Coach Rick Pitino said Friday the decision would be up to Luis. The 6-foot-7 wing is a top contender for Big East Player of the Year, averaging 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals. He was instrumental in the 10th-ranked Johnnies’ previous win over Connecticut on Feb. 7 in Storrs, Conn., notching 21 points and seven rebounds. RJ Luis Jr. (right) and Jaiden Glover did not play in St. John’s win over DePaul. Matt Marton-Imagn Images “He’s an NBA player,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said. “When you put two 6-6 crazy physical two-way players and big-time rebounders with him and Kadary [Richmond] at the guard spots with [Deivon] Smith and Sim [Wilcher], or whoever else they put on the perimeter, it’s an intimidating tandem.” Later, Hurley added: “I’d imagine he’s not gonna wanna miss this one tomorrow.” In the first meeting… Read the full article here […]

February 23, 2025

Man served fresh warrant over murder, robbery in Osaka Prefecture
February 23, 2025
Osaka – Japanese police on Sunday served a fresh arrest warrant for a man for alleged murder and robbery in connection with a case in which the dismembered body of a man was found abandoned in Osaka Prefecture recently. The suspect, Hiroto Oki, 28, has remained silent over the murder and robbery allegations, according to the Osaka Prefectural Police Department. After his first arrest on Feb. 3 for allegedly abandoning the body of Takamichi Kamioka, however, Oki told the police that he choked Kamioka to death after the victim came out of his house, investigative sources said. The suspect also said that he had no money so he therefore had no choice but to kill Kamioka, an employee of the Land, Infrastructure Transport and Tourism Ministry, according to the sources.

Former US Police Officer Convicted Over Fatal Shooting of New Zealand Man
February 23, 2025
Former Colorado Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Buen could still serve no prison time for the killing of the 22-year-old New Zealander, who called 911 for help. Former Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Buen has been found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of New Zealand man Christian Glass almost three years ago. He had faced several other charges, including second-degree murder and criminally negligent homicide, but after almost a full day of deliberations, the jury returned a guilty verdict to only the lesser charge. The offence carries a penalty of up to three years in prison, but as Buen is eligible for parole, it’s possible he could serve no prison time. Had he been found guilty of second-degree murder, he could have served up to 48 years. The verdict means he will never again work in law enforcement. The charges arose from an incident in 2022, when a car being driven by 22-year-old Christian Glass, at that time living in Boulder, became stuck on the road. He called 911 for help, and Guen was one of the officers from multiple agencies who attended. When they arrived, they asked Glass to exit his car. He refused, and a 70-minute stand-off ensued. […]
Republican Pollster Tells Van Jones How to Save Dem Party, Thankfully He Doesn’t Listen – Twitchy
February 23, 2025
Republican pollster Frank Luntz keeps trying to explain to Democrats why they lost the 2024 presidential election to President Donald Trump but they simply will not listen. Luntz ran into another blue wall on CNN recently. We can only surmise that Van Jones wants to see his Democrat Party lose more elections. Here’s Luntz trying to get through to Jones. (WATCH) “You want to understand why Harris lost the election? The public didn’t want to wait anymore.” “The American people are fed up. They’re angry as hell. They want Washington to change. They want action.” Frank Luntz has never been more right in his entire career. pic.twitter.com/7rovLhKiT2 — Thomas Hern (@ThomasMHern) February 22, 2025 He gets it. He understands. If democrats don’t come to this same realization, they are going to be sitting on the sidelines for a long, long time. — Jerry (@WhiskeyBiscut) February 22, 2025 Luntz is often wrong but he’s dead right on this point. Commenters say a silent Scott Jennings proves it. Well. Frank is blowing with the wind now. But, yes, finally on the right side of history. He knows his bread needs to be buttered. And there will be no… Read the full article here […]
