Internet can't believe Kash Patel is 5'9'': 'His cute little legs are dangling'
FBI director Kash Patel sat with Fox News' Bret Baier in a one-on-one interview where the Indian-origin top cop laid down the future works of the agency and addressed the criticisms his agency is facing on some specific issues like delaying the release of Epstein's Files, etc.

But what intrigued social media was the high chair on which Kash Patel was made to sit from where his legs were dangling and he looked like a tiny figure.
Bret was also sitting on a similar chair but he is definitely taller than Patel, and the Internet was in disbelief that Kash Patel is 5 feet 9 inches tall, as publicly recorded, because he looked nothing like that.
'Serious issues discussed during this segment so I'm sorry, there's nothing funny about FBI Director Kash Patel sitting atop a high chair like a big boy, kicking his feet lackadaisical," Washington Post tech reporter Drew Harwell wrote on BlueSky.
"Look at this DEI 👀 Republicans said they only wanted cops that could carry a grown man over their shoulder. Our top cop, Kash Patel, weighs like 80 lbs," one wrote on X.
"Kash Patel seriously took one look at this chair and said "Let's do this"?? 😂 His cute little legs are dangling! Respect though, he needs crazy upper body strength to boost himself way up there," another wrote on X.
Grok replied to curious X users that Kash Patel's height is reported as 5'9'' based on information available on social media and Bret Baier's height is 5 feet 11 inches.
"Fox News .... Why did you put Kash Patel in such a high chair? He looks tiny!" one wrote while another conjectured that this can;t be unintentional.
Reddit erupted over theories on why Kash Patel was made to sit in that high chair. Some thought it was to make him look taller while others pointed out that it was because of the height of the chair that he looked so tiny.

Crackdown against illegal immigrants has to follow due process
In the wake of the brutal terrorist attack on Pahalgam, the government has done the right thing by heightening security across the country. It has intensified operations against terrorists and given greater urgency to increasing surveillance along the borders. Last month, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs issued an order asking states and Union Territories to detect and deport foreigners, especially people from Bangladesh and Myanmar, living illicitly in the country. The Centre's instructions have prompted several states to intensify their ongoing operations against suspected illegal immigrants. From the West Bengal government's allegation, earlier this year, of BSF's laxity against Bangladeshi 'infiltrators' to Delhi's erstwhile AAP government's drive against 'illegal Bangladeshi' students to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's frequent diatribes against immigrants from India's eastern neighbour, the issue of illegal immigration has raised its head time and again in the heat and dust of Indian politics. The Centre and state governments must understand that the current moment has a far more compelling imperative than polarising politics — the two should be kept scrupulously apart. However, reports in this newspaper shine a light on the disquieting tendency among authorities to ignore court proceedings — and take the short cut bypassing due process. Among the people caught in the no man's land between India and Bangladesh is an Assam school teacher whose citizenship case is being heard by the Supreme Court. And, days ago, a 50-year-old woman was pushed into Bangladesh and then brought back after her lawyer flagged that she was legally in the clear. In Assam and several other regions of the Northeast, the movement of people across the mostly porous border across Bangladesh is an immensely sensitive and fraught issue. On the one hand, the movement of people across regions has a long history that predates Partition. On the other hand, the anti-outsider sentiment was the major trigger for the Assam agitation and has often led to violence in the state. In recent years, the state's BJP government has stoked anxieties around identity and demography by framing the narrative in communal terms. The state government's aggressive use of the Foreigner's Tribunal – it sets March 25, 1971, as the cut-off date for citizenship in Assam – has left thousands with an uncertain future. The onus is almost always on the accused to prove their citizenship. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has cited a Supreme Court directive of February in support of the latest anti-immigration drive. However, Sarma's past pronouncements — especially his use of dog whistles, 'land jihad' and 'flood jihad,' to refer to the migrant problem — do not inspire confidence. The Assam CM has said that the recent drive does not target people who have appealed to the courts after the revocation of their nationality by a tribunal. Last week, however, the Gauhati High Court had to intercede on behalf of two such people, whose families fear that they may have been 'pushed out' to Bangladesh. That Myanmar and Bangladesh are in political turmoil today doesn't make the task any easier. That should not, however, be the rationale for rounding off suspected illegal migrants and pushing them across borders. On immigration crackdown, the short-cut will always be more expedient — most of the victims are vulnerable and without adequate representation — but due process, even if it is a long haul, needs to be followed and seen to be followed. Only then will it engender a security that endures.

Boulder attack: Targeted terror attack unleashed on peaceful Colorado vigil as suspect sets multiple victims on fire
A man allegedly attacked participants by setting multiple people on fire at the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Run for their lives The vigil, held by a local Jewish community group called 'Run for Their Lives,' was focused on calling for the release of Israeli hostages currently held in Gaza. The event attracts a group of people who meet weekly to walk or run in solidarity with the hostages, many wearing matching shirts and carrying flags representing the hostages' countries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kulkas yang belum Terjual dengan Harga Termurah (Lihat harga) Cari Sekarang Undo Police response At around 1:26 pm, Boulder Police received urgent calls reporting a man with a weapon setting victims on fire. Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said officers responded immediately to find several people with serious burns and other injuries. The victims were transported to local hospitals, while the suspect, who sustained minor injuries, was taken into custody. 'This is a targeted terror attack ,' FBI Director Kash Patel said on social media , confirming that FBI agents are investigating alongside local law enforcement. Live Events Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser called the attack a 'hate crime given the group that was targeted' and condemned the violent act. 'Hate has no place in Colorado,' he said. 'We all have the right to peaceably assemble and speak our views, but these violent acts must stop.' A series of antisemitic attacks The attack occurred on Shavuot, a significant Jewish holiday, compounding the pain felt by the community. It also comes weeks after two Israeli embassy staff were fatally shot outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, in an antisemitic attack. In addition to the violence in Boulder, anti-Israel graffiti was discovered on 18 to 20 buildings at the nearby University of Denver earlier that weekend. Adam Rovner, director of the university's Center for Judaic Studies, described the vandalism as a painful sign of growing hatred and intolerance. Reaction from the Jewish community The Boulder Jewish Community Center released a statement expressing heartbreak over the attack. 'We are saddened to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers during a peaceful vigil,' the center said, emphasizing safety as their highest priority. Videos reviewed by the Anti-Defamation League showed the suspect shouting phrases like, 'How many children have you killed?' and calling for an end to Zionists, indicating the attack was fueled by deep ideological hatred. Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the attack as a 'heinous act of terror' and reassured the public that state and federal agencies are supporting the investigation. This attack adds to a troubling wave of antisemitic violence across the US, which has intensified since Hamas' deadly attack on Israel in October 2023 and Israel's subsequent military campaign in Gaza.

India-Pakistan News Live updates: MP Ravi Shankar Prasad-led delegation meets Priti Patel, highlights Operation Sindoor in UK
India launched a significant diplomatic offensive through its seven multi-party parliamentary delegations visiting over 30 countries, as part of Operation Sindoor—a post-Pahalgam terror attack outreach aimed at isolating Pakistan diplomatically and strengthening global counterterrorism cooperation. Delegation visits to the UK, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria have focused on conveying India's unwavering stand against terrorism and building consensus for collective action. In London, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad stressed Mahatma Gandhi's enduring relevance in countering Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Tributes to Gandhi and Ambedkar set a unifying tone, as MPs spoke before cheering diaspora audiences. The delegation condemned Pakistan's attempts to destabilise the region, drawing praise from British-Indian leaders and diplomats. In Spain, DMK MP Kanimozhi led dialogues with Indian communities and met a survivor of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. She called the diaspora's commitment to fighting terrorism 'heartwarming.' SP MP Rajeev Rai called Pakistan a 'puppet state,' urging stronger future responses to terror. Meanwhile, BJP's Baijayant Panda led another group to Saudi Arabia and Algeria, where cooperation on counterterrorism was a central theme. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey underscored India's historical ties with Algeria, and both countries reaffirmed strong bilateral trust. These visits not only counter Pakistan's narratives but also reinforce India's image as a responsible power combating terrorism. From engaging global policymakers to connecting with overseas Indians, the delegations are rallying international consensus for decisive action against terror networks and state sponsors.
