As part of its effort to distance itself from organizations it accuses of political bias, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States has announced that it will no longer cooperate with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
FBI Director Kash Patel declared on social media that “every kinship with the SPLC has formally been ended.”

According to Patel, “The Southern Poverty Law Center has long since abandoned its work on civil rights and evolved into a partisan smear machine.”
He criticized the interactive “hate map” at the center, which lists organizations linked to anti- and anti-government activities and lists their locations.
Their so-called “hate map” has been used to denigrate the majority of Americans and even sparks violence. They are unfit for any FBI partnership because of their scandalous track record, Patel claimed.
This week, the FBI has severed ties with a group that aims to track threats to civil rights, with Patel’s announcement.
The FBI also cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), accusing the anti-Semitism watchdog and Jewish advocacy group of spying on conservatives on Thursday.
At a time when Patel is reshaping the nation’s top federal law enforcement agency in a hurry, the announcements represent a radical rethink of long-standing FBI collaborations with prominent civil rights organizations.
Both organizations have provided research on domestic extremism, law enforcement training, and other services over the years. Some conservatives have also criticized them for what they claim is an unfair distortion of their beliefs.
Following Charlie Kirk’s murder, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was the target of that criticism. After Kirk’s shooting, there was a new focus on the SPLC’s portrayal of Turning Point USA, a group Kirk founded.
In a report titled “The Year in Hate and Extremism 2024,” the SPLC described the organization as a “case study in the hard right.”
Elon Musk, among others, expressed outrage at the SPLC this week over how Kirk and the organization were described.
Musk remarked, “It is unacceptable to encourage violence by evil propaganda organizations like SPLC.” Without going into further detail, he continued, “This is killing innocent people.”
In a statement released on Friday, Patel’s comments were not directly addressed by the SPLC, a legal and advocacy organization that was established in 1971.
The spokesperson added that the organization has been collecting information from the public for decades and that it is still “committed to uncovering hate and extremism as we work to educate communities and protect the rights and safety of marginalized people.”
Even before Patel’s announcement, the SPLC’s far-right critics have been active.
Republicans have long accused the SPLC of unfairly excluding conservatives. Senators James Lankford and Chuck Grassley pleaded with the FBI to end ties with the group in October 2023, calling it biased and unreliable. They also referred to faith-based and conservative organizations as “hate groups.”
As she stepped out to greet her adoring audience following the success of her Paris Fashion Week show, Victoria Beckham literally could not contain her sense of achievement. And so perhaps this is why, the former Spice Girl, 51, turned acclaimed fashion designer, decided to act out of character when walking down her runway.
The star and mum of four paused her lap of honour to passionately kiss husband David on the lips as he sat in the front row, beaming with pride. And next to him was their daughter Harper, who looked up at her mother adoringly.
Victoria leant down to kiss David’s lips while he was standing on her raised catwalk. Romeo and Cruz, both of her sons, were present, and the entire family poured their hearts out for Victoria. However, her eldest son Brooklyn was not far off, which was a noticeable absence.
The aspiring chef’s family members have been at odds with one another, which is a sign of the tension in the Beckham household.
In August, Brooklyn renewed his vows with wife Nicola Peltz but in a shock move, he snubbed his entire family as he refused to invite them. Instead, in attendance were Nicola’s family and their mutual friends.
Brooklyn purposefully dismissed his own family members in his speech regarding the Peltz family’s potential marriage renewal.
The YouTube chef didn’t wish his younger brother Romeo a Happy Birthday and also failed to attend his 23rd birthday bash, held in London.
Many people criticized Victoria for her efforts to be taken seriously in the fashion industry because of her reputation as a Spice Girl.
And in her Netflix documentary, she recalled her journey to become one of the most well known fashion designers. In the trailer that has just been released, she admitted: “I want my kids and David to be proud of me. It’s taken so long to get to this point. I’m not gonna let it slip through my fingers again.”
David and Victoria married in 1999 at a lavish ceremony in Ireland and share four children together. The documentary, which gives an insight into her life behind the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world, has been well received already.
She has actually accomplished a lot, according to a YouTuber. “Four kids, a former Spice Girl, now a fashion mogul,” they added. She could have worked as a housewife on his income without having to do it. I’m looking forward to the movie.
According to reports, David was responsible for Victoria’s decision to accept the Netflix deal. According to some, he believed that because Victoria is “the true star of the Beckham household,” the public needed to experience her true side.

Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, the chief of the naval staff, claimed that the Nigerian Navy had successfully fought off pirates and other maritime criminals, leading to a rise in oil production and increased security in the country’s waters.
The Naval Chief made the disclosure on Friday when he launched new projects at Zaria, Kaduna State’s prestigious Nigerian Military School.
Ogalla, a graduate of the Nigerian Military School Zaria, claimed that the Navy had “undeniable results” from its operations since he assumed command, noting that the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) had never experienced piracy since 2022.
“We made it clear from the beginning that we wanted to combat the criminal elements that were inseparably affecting our maritime environment.” And I’m proud to say that was accomplished. The improvements to oil production and the elimination of piracy in our waters are obvious, he said.

He added that pirates, crude oil theft, and illegal refining have long threatened Nigeria’s economic lifeline, dissuading investment in the maritime sector, and piracy. The Navy has since reversed the trend thanks to more effective operations.
He explained that Operation Delta Sanity was launched by the Navy to end criminal networks and protect critical oil infrastructure in parallel with joint operations with sister services and maritime stakeholders.
“These actions have restored confidence in the maritime environment.” Nigeria is now seen as a safer maritime hub, with increased revenues and improved oil production. That’s why the work we’re doing is crucial, Ogalla said.
He added that fighting maritime insecurity is a national duty as well, as the protection of Nigeria’s oil assets directly affects economic growth and development.
By virtue of its mandate, the Nigerian Navy protects our maritime environment. That means protecting the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty at sea. Because oil is still our primary source of income, we are directly strengthening Nigeria’s economy, the CNS noted.
Ogalla emphasized that the accomplishments were attributable to the hard work of naval personnel spread across formations, whose sacrifices at sea had restored Nigeria’s waters to sanity.
“I applaud the brave officers and ratings who put in the effort.” Without their support, we wouldn’t be celebrating these accomplishments. The stability we now enjoy in our maritime domain is the result of their sacrifices, he continued.
He urged vigilantness throughout, noting that security forces must stay ahead through intelligence-led operations and technological advancements. Criminal elements frequently adapt.
In order to promote academic excellence at the university, the Naval Chief ordered six contemporary classrooms, each outfitted with smart boards and learning aids, while he was a student there.
“This intervention reflects my belief that learning must change with the times,” I said. According to him, these resources will give the boys the tools to excel academically and get ready for the future.
He also announced the start of new initiatives and pledged to strengthen military education between NMS and the Nigerian Navy Military School in Ikot Ntuen, Akwa Ibom.
The Ex-Boys Association continued to support the tradition of giving back while the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General O. O. Oluyede, was commended for the improvement of the Boys’ Lines and other NMS facilities.
Brigadier General Owoicho Ejiga, the NMS commander, described Ogalla’s visit as “a historic milestone” and said it would inspire the students and strengthen the institution’s commitment to excellence since its founding in 1954.
