This isn’t real right?

Bill Belichick, the 8-time Super Bowl-winning HC, is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, per @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

If Bill Belichick isn’t a 1st Ballot Hall of Famer then no coach is! I’ve seen some ridiculous arguments made for players and coaches to be Hall of Famers but this one should have been a no brainer. This level of pettiness and incompetence is extremely sad. No one reveres the…

I would like to know the names of the assholes who did not vote for him..they are too cowardly to identify themselves…

Absolutely Petty: Bill Polian was a huge influence in Bill Belichick not being a first ballot HOF’er, with an anonymous voter saying Polian told voters Belichick should have to wait a year as penance for Spygate and Deflate Gate. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

If rumors are true and Bill Polian led the charge of Belichick waiting because of Deflategate and Spygate does that mean that Tom Brady has to wait too? Because ain’t no fricking way Tom is waiting or should wait… and neither should Bill!

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

Oklahoma GOP Gov. KEVIN STITT to @DanaBashCNN: "Americans don't like what they're seeing right now. ... he's getting bad advice right now. The president needs to let the American people -- what is the solution? How do we bring this to conclusion? And I think only the president…

So the 2nd Amendment only applies to conservatives?

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

FYI folks Stephen is a committed second amendment supporter and easily one of the most respected journalists on the intersection of gun rights and politics. See: thereload.com

This is an insane claim. You're arguing merely being armed in public is justification for police killing you? That's well beyond even the dubious claims DHS is making.

it was an execution

🚨WATCH: ICE Agents DISARM the man BEFORE they began to shoot him.



Gary Koops reposted

Tapper plays Noem’s words over the video of the shooting and wow, is it damming.

Does the DHS description match the video?



Gary Koops reposted

Watch the slow-motion version here. Alex Pretti was disarmed—of his lawfully possessed, properly permitted, Second-Amendment protected, holstered firearm. They disarmed him. Then they killed him. Why? Are they untrained goons? Did they panic? Or are they drunk on impunity?

Does the DHS description match the video?

Even my most conservative friends are saying Kristi Noem is lying and ICE messed up. MAGA podcasters stopped defending the killing after the lady in pink video was released. And influencers deleted their posts en masse. This one is bad. It’s clear ICE murdered an American today.

In the press conference, Homan used the word "brandishing." That's a legal term. It means to display all or part of the firearm, or otherwise make the presence of the firearm known to another person, in order to intimidate that person, regardless of whether the firearm is…

This is disgraceful. Stop the cover-ups! Here’s the video. From a witness on the scene. He posed no threat to your officers. From @DropSiteNews



Gary Koops reposted

It's still early in the aftermath, and more video or audio might come to light that changes the analysis. The videos we do have look very bad, though, and appear to contradict DHS claims. Minneapolis police have also already said the man who was shot had a ccw permit.

They literally disarmed him first and then shot him

Okay so, 1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution 2) after coming to…

Noem 2/2 “…Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around, an agent fired defensive shots.” Is that what you see?


Gary Koops reposted

Videos analyzed by @nytimes appear to contradict DHS accounts that the man approached agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them. Footage shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground. nytimes.com/live/2026/us/m…
