The director of Israel’s Mossad spy agency visited Washington this week seeking U.S. help in convincing countries to take hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, two sources with knowledge of issue tell Axios.

The spy chief, David Barnea, told White House envoy Steve Witkoff that Israel has been speaking in particular with Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya.

The Israeli government’s goal of removing much of Gaza’s population is hugely controversial. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government claims such a “relocation” would be “voluntary,” U.S. and Israeli legal experts have labeled it a war crime.

They abruptly parted, looked for space to duck and then tried to hide their faces. The woman beside them was seen grinning, with her hand on her face. Cabot turned her face away to stay out of sight. The Story

This is a story that doesn't get much coverage but remains a huge mystery. Kash is a good "friend" with Michael Muldoon, and as the article points out, is a Republican Party megadonor who runs shady time-share companies. Kash lives part time in Muldoon's mega-mansion while his very young wife lives in another state. He conducts FBI business out of this Las Vegas mansion. He has been seen on trips with his "buddy." He is essentially living with another man part time.

Lots of questions the MSM refuses to ask. Is Kash leading a secret homosexual life, and/or is Muldoon secretly involved in FBI business? According to the law, anyone he lives with for more than two weeks, he has to report to the FBI (background checks,) so has Muldoon been reported? Why run the FBI part time out of Las Vegas?

Shady.

The public doesn’t need to know whether Patel is gay, straight, or somewhere in between. What it deserves is transparency — particularly when a senior federal official shares both financial entanglements and a private residence with someone facing credible allegations of business misconduct. Of course, two men sharing a residence is not inherently unusual. But when that living arrangement includes shared legal services, political donations, coordinated business activity, and golf vacations abroad, the distinction between “roommates” and something more becomes, at minimum, a question about which people will speculate.

Miyares, in a letter to The Inquirer, disputed some of Fetterman’s account.

“He knew my race. The gun was aimed at my chest while he loaded five red shells into the tube of the 12-gauge TAC shotgun,” Miyares wrote in February 2021. “Once he finished, he aimed it at my face out of the Ford F-150 Truck.”

Fetterman, trying to hide his racism, a fake working class "hero" who seems to align with the right, more than the left as of late. Actions matter.

Google is quietly rolling out its Gemini AI tool as the default assistant on Android, even on devices where users never explicitly enabled it. In many cases, Gemini replaces Google Assistant by default, making it increasingly challenging to disable fully.

This deep integration means Gemini can still be active in the background, accessing your apps, system features, and personal info.

Here's what Gemini can access:

Gmail 
Google Calendar 
Google Drive & Docs 
Maps, Keep, Tasks
Messages, Phone, and even WhatsApp

Even more concerning:

Your data is used to train Google’s AI.
Human reviewers may see your chats.
Data can be shared with 3rd parties.
As of July 2025, Gemini stays connected to apps even when activity tracking is turned off.

🛑 You can’t fully disable Gemini, but you can limit it:

How to limit Gemini on Android:

Turn off activity tracking
Revoke permissions
Uninstall it (if possible)

Further options, if you’re privacy-conscious:

Reduce your reliance on Google services or fully de-Google
Consider a privacy-first OS like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS

⚠️ Google is making Gemini the default assistant for all Android devices by the end of 2025.

Choose privacy over AI surveillance.

If you want tools that respect your data, ensure you use encrypted email, a private calendar, and a secure cloud, with no AI training or human review.
