Hey gang, how are you doing? I was in Tacoma on Saturday and I went to an anti ICE rally there. Man, there were a lot of cops there. Like, bike cops and cops just standing there. Feels very oppressive compared to Seattle and Suburbia where the police have kept their distance, at protests I’ve been to. Maybe that’s the point but it really is a noticeable contrast.

    ⚠️ WARNING: This post contains descriptions of child abuse and infant injury.

    Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman, 27, a former neonatal intensive care nurse in Virginia, has pleaded no contest to nine counts of felony child abuse. The plea deal follows a lengthy investigation into unexplained fractures suffered by newborns at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital. Under the terms of the agreement, Strotman faces a maximum of three years in prison, with several malicious wounding charges being dropped.

    The investigation began in 2023 after multiple infants were found with broken bones. Evidence presented in court included video footage of Strotman appearing to lean her full body weight onto a crying infant. Other reports alleged she lifted newborns by their heads and used excessive force during routine care. While her defense argued the actions were “perceived as rough” but lacked intent to harm, investigators noted that unexplained injuries ceased during a year-long period when Strotman was placed on administrative leave.

    As part of the resolution, Strotman is permanently barred from practicing nursing or working with minors and vulnerable adults. The hospital also faced scrutiny for failing to report the suspected abuse in a timely manner and for lacking proper documentation of staff interactions in the NICU. Families of the affected children, some of whom suffered the highest level of physical abuse recognized in Virginia, are expected to provide impact statements at the sentencing hearing scheduled for June 5.

  3. ICE has $75 billion banked, enough to sustain operations for years.

    Yet somehow Chuck Schumer thinks another federal government shutdown will affect ICE funding.

    GLWT

  4. Tom Homan is on his way to Minneapolis.

    For those who wonder how Tom Homan became a household name, look no further than the award bestowed upon him by the Obama administration:

    For Immediate Release
    DHS Press Office
    Contact: 202-282-8010

    WASHINGTON – Today, the White House Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management announced the 2015 Presidential Rank Award recipients, recognizing and celebrating some of the federal government’s top career executives and senior professionals for consistently demonstrating strength, integrity, and commitment to public service. The Presidential Rank Award is bestowed each year by the President upon a small group of career employees and is the nation’s highest civil service award.

    “I am very proud of these outstanding men and women and am grateful for their dedication to the DHS mission,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh C. Johnson. “These demonstrated leaders inspire their colleagues and bring great passion and innovation to public service in support of homeland security.”

    This prestigious honor is divided into two categories: Distinguished rank for leaders who achieve sustained extraordinary results, and Meritorious rank for leaders with sustained accomplishments. Nine outstanding employees from across the Department were among this year’s recipients. They include:

    Distinguished Rank Award:

    Thomas D. Homan, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    So thank you, Barack & Co., for identifying and rewarding leadership and integrity by elevating Tom Homan’s status in such a public manner.

  5. There are two House-passed appropriations bills to be considered by the Senate. One of them contains all of the goodies liberals need. The other contains DHS funding.

    Any reason Senate Majority Leader Thune should pass the bill with the goodies before passing the bill with the DHS funding?

    Didn’t think so.

    GLWT shutdown, Chuck.

  6. Too bad for libbies, but the economy is not tanking:

    Orders for long-lasting items such as appliances, aircraft and computers rose more than expected in November, the Commerce Department reported Monday.

    Durable goods demand jumped 5.3% for the month, according to Census Bureau data delayed by the government shutdown. The total reversed a 2.1% decline in October and was better than the 4.5% Dow Jones consensus estimate.

    Excluding defense orders, the number was even better with a 6./6% rise. Excluding transportation, which saw a 14.7% surge, orders still rose 0.5%.

    Didn’t libbies say all the new tariffs would tank the economy?

  7. Distinguished rank for leaders who achieve sustained extraordinary results,

    with ONLY 50k of FBI sting munee! Isn’t that special.

  8. ICE has $75 billion banked, enough to sustain operations for years.

    Well, I gotta admit this is a tough one.

    Either the lying idiot troll is lying.
    Or the lying idiot troll is an idiot.

    That’s one helluva Gordian Knot.

    I’m stumped. 🙄

  9. Strotman is permanently barred from practicing nursing or working with minors and vulnerable adults.

    Reminds one of a greedee radiologist irradiating hypochondriacs and taking their munee ka ching ka ching turning them into cancer patients.

    Hey, they’re addicted to whining about being sick! I give the people what they want and I make bank!

  10. Any reason Senate Majority Leader Thune should pass the bill with the goodies before passing the bill with the DHS funding?

    Only one I can think of.

    That was Thune’s and Johnson’s commitment to Democratic Leaders ahead of these votes.

    Keeping their word they gave in order to secure the previously agreed upon support of Democratic leaders probably doesn’t mean much to Thune and Johnson. But it will mean a lot to the members whose support those Democratic leaders depend on for their leadership positions.

  12. Erin Elizabeth Ann Strotman

    Minnesota? Virginia? Let’s make some more shit up!

    btw, kreepfuck’s ex was a nicu nurse.. perhaps this nurse’s “roughness” brought back memories of kreepfuck’s bottoming behind closed doors.

    lmao..

  18. Most liberals reach a state of advanced dementia far earlier in life than Eleanor Holmes Norton.

  19. The New York Times goes somewhere with Eleanor Holmes Norton that it was too afraid to go with Joe Biden:

    It was not clear whether Washington’s 88-year-old veteran delegate, who has been in declining health but has insisted she would seek re-election, was aware of the filing.”

  20. ABC: Noem said Pretti committed an act of domestic terrorism. Stephen Miller labeled him a domestic terrorist. Does the president agree?

    LEAVITT: I have not heard the president characterize Mr Pretti in that way

    He’s got the saw out.
    And he’s going to work on that limb.

    According to a doctor who says they treated Pretti at the scene, Pretti had at least three bullet wounds in his back.

    BREAKING: A DHS spokesperson confirms to
    @FoxNews that several federal agents had their body cameras on during the interaction that led to the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota, and footage from “multiple angles” is currently being reviewed by investigators.

    9:36 AM · Jan 26, 2026

    Better hurry up and beatify the dude, libbies.
    ·

  26. It appears that Pretti was carrying a Sig P320 AXG “Combat” pistol equipped with a red dot sight, and as you’re probably already aware, Sig has been the subject of multiple lawsuits claiming that the P320 can unintentionally discharge without the trigger being pulled.

    Some of the videos that show Pretti’s shooting do suggest that it was Pretti’s gun that fired seconds before Border Patrol agents shot him, but by that time the gun was in the hand of an agent who was walking away from the scrum of agents and Pretti.

    No safety on this weapon.

    Would we have heard by now if it had discharged?

  27. 26,
    Look at the lying troll attempt to grovel and crawl his way back from the end of that limb.

    Sure, bigot. Fuck off.

  28. That “fleeing felon”

    Describe the felony committed by Alex Pretti.

    Or… liar.

  29. @ 27

    Sure, bigot. Fuck off.

    I see that someone is very distraught to learn of the existence of body camera footage.

    There was a bullet wound in the FAFOd domestic terrorist’s chest and another in his neck. Say, YLB, any chance the wound in his chest was a ricochet frag from Charlie Kirk’s chest plate?

  30. I can wait.

    But the lying troll didn’t wait.

    The lying troll went to work immediately within hours of the public execution of Alex Pretti describing him, describing his actions, and describing the actions of DHS agents in completely false terms.

    So obviously he can’t wait. At least not at first.
    Now that the vast majority of Americans have watched the hideous public execution of good man at the hands of Fat Hitler’s hooded and masked MAGASTAPO murderers, suddenly the lying troll wants to turn back the clock and pretend that he’s a patient and methodical observer.

    Instead of a liar. Which is what he is. He’s even lying when he claims he can wait.

  31. 29,
    Fuck off again, bigot.

    Nobody here is going to accept your lying invitation to attempt to reinterpret events and engage in a complex debate about balistics and bullet trajectories when every single person in America has now seen that the victim was disarmed when his executioners opened fire on him.

    Alex Pretti was filming when he was first attacked with pepper spray.
    Then he went to the aid of an injured bystander.
    Then he was attacked a second time by a team of what would be his executioners.
    Then he was very quickly subdued.
    Then he was disarmed.
    Then he was executed.

    In that order.

    The precise manner of his execution does not alter the fact that he was executed.

  32. There was a bullet wound in the FAFOd domestic terrorist’s chest

    Present any reliable evidence that Alex Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” at any time.

    Either that or… liar.

    Fuck off, liar.

  33. It appears…

    From “Mike Brown was no angel” to “that gun was no angel” in record time, I’d say.

  34. @ 32

    Present any reliable evidence …

    Goalposts moved, by the guy who has called everyone he does not like a Nazi, a pedophile, and/or a traitor for years.

    Suddenly, we are treated to a plea for blog moderation by Elijah, the second-most blatant hustler of propaganda on HA, trailing only the failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool.

  35. Quick Update:

    I welcome the dispatch of Tom Homan to Minneapolis, because he looks a lot like me he has ordered the redeployment of all CBP personnel including Greg Bovino and he is ending the armed occupation.

    Looks like I win.

  36. Suddenly, we are treated to a plea for blog moderation

    Merely a plea that the lying troll find a way to control himself and stop lying.

    Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. It is a lie to call him one. The way we know it is that the lying troll declined to provide any evidence at all to support his false claim. Instead he complained about the form of the question and invited another irrelevant debate instead.

    Fuck off, liar.

  37. @ 35

    … he has ordered the redeployment of all CBP personnel …

    CBP is not ICE, “winner”.

    USA Rare Earth shares rally as Commerce Department takes equity stake

    “This is a watershed moment in our work to secure and grow a resilient and independent rare earth value chain based in this country,” Humpton told analysts on a call Monday.

    “We have long said that meeting the urgent call to reassure the rare earth and critical minerals industry will require a multiplayer solution, and this establishes our company as one of the leaders,” she said.

    USA Rare Earth is the latest in a series of mining companies that the Trump administration has taken equity stakes in as it builds a Western rare earth and critical minerals supply chain to reduce dependence on China.

  41. @ 36

    Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. … declined to provide any evidence at all to support his false claim.

    He carried a firearm, with an installed laser sight, and extra ammo, to a location, as ordered by his Signal overlords.

    J6 protesters who were armed were similarly labeled. By you, Elijah.

  42. It looks like Senate Republican leaders were hearing from enough of their members that they would not move forward on the final appropriation bills unless the DHS leadership was given a shakeup and unless Operation Metro Surge was terminated. So Fat Hitler TACOed again.

    No idea at this moment if Noem survives. But this should produce enough votes from moderate Dems in the Senate.

    Unfortunately. Because there is really no guarantee that Fat Hitler won’t repeat this shit show.

  43. J6 protesters who were armed were similarly labeled. By you, Elijah.

    FFS, they filmed themelves committing acts that fall within the statutory framework.

    Carrying a registered and permitted firearm has never been an act of domestic terrorism.

    So yup. Fuck off, liar.

  45. @ 39

    … nothing at all to say today about Enten?

    ICE is minus 27, according to Enten/CNN.

    In November a YouGov/Economist poll had Chuck Schumer at minus 34. He’s recovered more than half of that deficit.

    So will ICE.

  46. People like Fat Hitler, Stephen Miller, and the lying troll convinced themselves that cameras wouldn’t matter and that once they executed a couple of “pink haired libs” the reisistance would fold and disappear.

    That was a terrible miscalculation.

    But at least Fat Hitler has the awareness to see how badly he looked on television this weekend and to call it all off to stop the real as well as political carnage. Can’t say the same for people like Stephen Miller or the lying troll. They’re just dumb meat puppets. And when Fat Hitler tells them they won a great victory in Minneapolis they’ll believe it.

    There are three things that can happen when you bring a firearm to a “peaceful” protest…

    DHS investigating whether Alex Pretti’s gun accidentally fired — and sparked deadly Minneapolis shooting: sources

    The Department of Homeland Security is investigating whether an errant shot from Alex Pretti’s handgun — after it was taken off of him — caused Border Patrol agents to think they were being fired on, The Post has learned.

    As a result of the accidental discharge, which happened while the gun was in a Border agent’s hand, other officers may have believed their lives were in danger — resulting in the split-second decision to open fire on Pretti, killing him, multiple sources familiar with the investigation said.

    The Sig doesn’t have a safety.

  48. The Spokane bus accident is looking to be like the driver followed the GPS/Internal Nav system and it malfunctioned. Don’t know how much training the driver had for routes 6/66, but some common sense, if your driving an Enviro 500 in Spokane, if your off the route, watch for the railway viaduct. The two routes are run via Lincoln and Jefferson for a reason, and it’s not for the fun of it. Checking a few map apps, the bus turned onto Cedar from 3rd Ave W, two blocks west of Jefferson where it was supposed to, had one block to notice they were off course. It may be time to enforce no talking to the driver, at least while underway. Also, not sure, but the driver might have access to internal cameras to check in on the upper deck.

  49. Gonna be a lotta new lawsuits against Sig Sauer now. I had heard of this inadvertent discharge issue months ago.

    Glenn Reynolds is a firearms enthusiast and this article was linked to on his site, in August:

    It Probably Doesn’t Matter Any More If the SIG P320 Is Safe or Not

    In the mean time, there was a constant, low background hum of questions in the firearms community over the safety of the P320 per se, what happens when it’s carried in certain holsters, when it has a weapon-mounted light, yadda, yadda, yadda. And then the airman was killed in Wyoming.

    That set off the current firestorm in which SIG finds itself today. In addition to names like Gunsite, A Girl & A Gun, IDPA, the GlockStore and many others deciding to ban all P320 variants, a gaggle of traffic-hungry YouTubers have gone to work trying to unwrap this Gordian knot themselves. We’ve seen attempts on both sides that purport to show the P320 is either incredibly dangerous or it’s every bit as safe as any other striker-fired pistol on the market.

    The reality is…we don’t know which is true. Also, neither do you. And in the end, it probably doesn’t matter any more.

    The only lingering question seems to be whether Sig Sauer will issue a recall or whether the ATF will do it for them.

  50. It is becoming clear that the FAFOd alleged domestic terrorist caused his own death by continuing to employ a weapon he knew or @ 49 should have known is defective.

    After all, if a non-owner of a P320 like me knows about the trigger problem, why didn’t the FAFO dude?

    Good shoot.

  52. There are three things that can happen when you bring a firearm to a “peaceful” protest…

    Obviously untrue. Referencing a game with a ball and a hero figure quotation doesn’t make it any more true.

    An infinite number of “things” can happen. Obviously.

    And one of those “things” is that the people we, as a free society, train and employ to provide public safety in all its various and nuanced forms, and thereby equip and empower with the discretion to take our lives, will abide by sound training and sound policy in using that discretion. And within the expectation of that “thing” is the expectation both implicit and in manifest in law that they won’t use that grant of discretion to commit public atrocities for sport.

    Another “thing” that can happen is that when poorly vetted and recruited, untrained, and badly supervised blood hungry “street warriors” lose their shit and execute an entirely innocent citizen for no good reason, they will face legal consequences for that.

    Another “thing” that can happen is that when the people chosen and extremely well paid to provide that supervision, abrogate their responsibility and sworn oaths by ignoring that duty to supervise, they too face consequences.

    An infinity of “things” can happen always. It’s literally built into the nature of reality.

    If merely carrying a licensed handgun automatically produces big net changes in the probability of public carnage and death, regardless of responsibility (and apparently disregarding responsibility is pretty key to the lying troll’s argument here), then handguns should be illegal.

    For if, in the alternative, the lying POS troll insists that handguns are safe and need to be legal, then by direct consequence of that insistence we are obligated to look for responsibility.

    And in this case the responsibility for the death and carnage is 100% squarely on the untrained, inexperienced, poorly supervised DHS Death Squad goons who opened fire on an unarmed citizen cowering on his hands and knees before them.

  53. So a guy smart enough to install a laser site on his weapon, who has a concealed carry permit for it, should be smart enough to be aware of current events pertaining to his weapon, right?

    After all, his parents told him not to do anything stupid, like carry a weapon while going jaw to jaw with LEO in the middle of an icy street while dozens of his fellow domestic terrorists-in-training are blowing whistles and throwing shit at LEO.

    Carrying a weapon he knew or @ 49 should have known is defective in that scenario would qualify as stupid if he was a conservative, after all.

  54. …alleged…

    Bells like that don’t un-ring.

    The troll is a liar. That’s his track record here. That and crude comments about other men’s genitals and rectums.

  55. @ 52

    An infinite number of “things” can happen.

    No. Only three:

    • The weapon is not discharged. Incomplete pass.
    • The weapon is intentionally discharged. Completed pass.
    • The weapon is unintentionally discharged. Interception.

    No QB intentionally throws interceptions.

  56. I think the lying troll had sure as fuck better hope the balistics for that gun come back proving it was fired “accidentally” after the CBP Death Squad member disarmed him.

    That won’t of course change the basic legal reality that Alex Pretti never fired his gun and was disarmed before he was executed.
    But at least today’s “that gun was no angel” meander into irrelevancy won’t be a complete joke.

  57. 1. The FAFOd alleged domestic terrorist resists arrest.

    2. In the scrum he has caused, his weapon is spotted and someone yells, “He’s got a gun!”

    3. His weapon is removed from him by force.

    4. Barely more than a second after LEO are told that he has a weapon, that weapon discharges, apparently inadvertently.

    5. To protect himself, his colleagues, and those on the street around them, LEO upon hearing said discharge immediately returns fire, killing the negligent alleged domestic terrorist.

    Good shoot.

    Elijah’s crest has fallen.

  58. 55,
    The lying troll deftly closes his own circle and traps himself in the conclusion that handguns are not safe and must be restricted.

    Brilliant.

    We don’t need convincing.
    But his pal Sam very definitely does.

  61. @ 58

    … the conclusion that handguns are not safe and must be restricted.

    A conclusion every bit as solid as the conclusion that because Audrey Hale did what she did, trannies are not safe and must be institutionalized.

    Coming from you this was a surprise, LinusElijah. It’s typically the failed former attorney who serves up the hanging curves in these parts.

  62. Fixed

    BREAKING: A DHS spokesperson confirms to
    @FoxNews that several federal agents had their body cameras on during the interaction that led to the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota, and footage from “multiple angles” is currently being reviewed deleted by investigators.

    He never learns we’re Nearly through day three and if there was video of the murder victim, holding a gun and pointing it or even so much as reaching for it while two officers need on his arms, it would be out already.

    It’s the kind of video that saves an officer from state felony charges.

  63. @ 56

    … the balistics [sic] for that gun come back proving it was fired “accidentally” …

    How are the rifling marks on two bullets fired from the same handgun different from each other if the trigger pull was intentional for one, and inadvertent for the other, Elijah?

  64. You don’t show up with a defective gun and then start a gunfight.

    He FA. He FO.

    He did not listen to his parents.

  65. @ 62

    … it would be out already.

    I dunno. It’s been 48 hours since we’ve seen the reverse angle video for the first time and people are only now getting around to the realization that the alleged domestic terrorist caused his own death by forcing well-intended LEO to fire defensively when his defective firearm – the one his parents explicitly told him not to purchase and then to leave at home before going out to riot against LE – inadvertently discharged when in the hands of another well-intended LEO.

    He FA. He FO.

  66. The FAFOd alleged domestic terrorist did not die in vain. Defective SIG firearms will disappear from use as quickly as Harris/Walz bumper stickers.

  67. 1. The criminal charge of “resisting arrest” literally requires the predicate existence of probable cause for a lawful arrest. Mr. Pretti was engaged in fiming in public, which the Supreme Court has affirmed may not be illegal.

    2. Cool. Whatever. Even Death Squad goons have First Amendment rights. They can yell whatever the fuck stupid shit they like. If, however, what they yell produces a state of girlishly abject panic in themselves and in their fellow officers, then they alone bear the legal responsibility for the panic that ensues and whatever comes from it.

    3. Under the law, as a person licensed to carry, the legality of disarming him rests solely on his having become subject to a lawful arrest. See #1.

    4. According to the lying troll’s theory, (and it is only that since nobody, least of all the liar, has established that Mr. Pretti’s gun was discharged) when this theoretical “inadvertent” discharge took place it was in the possession of one of his executioners from the DHS Death Squad. Do we really need to explain then where the legal responsibility for that discharge lies at this point?

    5. Herein the lying troll presents the entirely unexamined implicit declaration that “upon hearing” the discharge of any weapon in their vicinity, a reasonable, properly trained law enforcement officer is instructed to clip dump into the nearest civilian.

    Sure, bigot. Now fuck off.

    P.S. Every so often some fuck-wit opposing counsel is dumb enough to use this profoundly stupid numbering scheme in a closing argument. It’s dumb for a few reasons. But the main one is the implication that bY nUmBeRiNg EaCh Of ThE cLaImS the claims themselves somehow gain additional credibility or improved logic. And that’s why the most effective response is to always use the same dumb numbering in the rebuttal. It’s also the most fun.

  68. A real shame.

    Ooooh. The Dumbfuck seal of approval for only the finest AI generated infant pornography.

    Hard pass.

  72. The clowning continues.

    Some of the videos that show Pretti’s shooting do suggest that it was Pretti’s gun that fired seconds before Border Patrol agents shot him, but by that time the gun was in the hand of an agent who was walking away from the scrum of agents and Pretti.

    Gunshots are loud the first one in all of the recordings ‘appears’ is fired by the murderer

    Good try

  73. And speaking @ 68 of missing fingers:

    Officer ‘will lose finger’ after Minnesota rioter allegedly bites it off: DHS

    “In Minneapolis, these rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer’s finger,” McLaughlin wrote on X. “He will lose his finger.”

    Photos of two people in custody were shared, though it was unclear which person allegedly severed his finger.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said the suspect who allegedly bit the finger off of the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent had been arrested and was in custody.

    Digits can be lost in many ways. Too much blockade construction material, opportunity for doors to be shut on frozen fingers, etc. for me to believe it without some question. So I didn’t post it when I saw it over the weekend.

    Hey, it was a combat injury. All is fair in the ring.

    Good try

    Most ICE agents still use the SIG P320, as the decision to switch to the Glock 9 mm wasn’t made until late 2025. Why you think the FAFOd dude’s P320 would sound different from the ICE agent’s P320 is a good question, wouldn’t you agree?

  79. 77,
    He very routinely posts links to a site that sells AI generated pornography featuring babies.

    I don’t think he has any problem with child abuse. Quite the opposite.

  80. @14 From the linked Guardian article:

    Donald Trump, like Madel, is a Republican. Madel expressed support for federal immigration agents’ purported original aim of deporting undocumented immigrants involved in major criminal activity.

    Well, who doesn’t support deporting illegals involved in major criminal activity? That’s not a Republican or Democratic thing. Everyone supports that. The problem is Trump and his henchpeople have twisted that mission beyond all recognition. They’re even arresting citizens based on their physical appearance alone. And they’re shooting citizens and lying about it, too.

  81. 78,
    Inviting a debate about angels dancing on the head of a pin might be a very excellent way to distract from a) the public execution of an unarmed citizen; b) the complete loss of public credibility for all Fat Hitler immigration enforcement; c) the sudden and stunning retreat of immigration enforcement from Minneapolis; d) the very sudden rise of voices within Congress calling for DHS Sec. Noem’s resignation/impeachment; d) all of the above.

    Letters instead of numbers this time. No need to bounce the rubble.

  83. 80,
    What’s really great about that is it moves Mike Lindell into serious contention for the nomination now.

    If they were smart they’d do a pay-per-view special of a debate between Klobuchar and Lindell.
    I’d absolutely pay to watch that.

    …Maine.

    Sen. Susan Collins, who is running for re-election, is the RANKING member on Appropriations. She is apparently on the phone with Noem as I’m typing this. I wonder how that conversation is going.

  92. President Donald Trump softened his tone Monday on the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, touting productive conversations with the governor and Minneapolis mayor as he sent the border czar to take charge of much of the enforcement effort. Some federal agents were expected to leave as soon as Tuesday.

    Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he spoke by phone with Trump, who praised the discussion that declared that “lots of progress is being made.” Frey said he asked Trump in a phone call to end the immigration enforcement surge and that Trump agreed the present situation cannot continue.

    No doubt. But Elijah is mortified to be compared to you.

    There’s that hanging curve I’m used to seeing.

  103. @53 After all, his parents told him not to do anything stupid

    So, did your parents tell you not to do anything stupid, but you went out and voted for these murderous Nazis anyway, knowing they were threatening “cival war” and executing liberals? And now you’re lecturing us about stupid people who don’t listen to their parents, when you’re one of them?

  104. @57 What are you going to say if it turns out Pretti’s gun didn’t fire?

    If it turns out it did fire after the agent took it from him (he clearly did not fire it), those other agents are damned lucky they weren’t shot by one of their own. In any police agency but this one, that would result in “retraining.” And probably reassignment, too, to prevent a locker room beatdown.

  105. So, did your parents tell you not to do anything stupid

    The parents told it to vote for Carter – even after the REAL ACTUAL “miracle on ice”.

    By Nov 1984, it believed it had removed the stain that was first scrubbed like really fucking hard during hell week.

  106. Once it turns out the perp’s defective weapon inadvertently discharged

    Look, I don’t doubt that the DHS intends to adopt this passive voice description of what they did. I just don’t think it will be as effective as they think.

    The weapon did not inadvertently discharge. Any more than it woke up this morning and made coffee.

    If it should turn out that the weapon was discharged after it was removed from Mr. Pretti’s holster by one of his Death Squad executioners, then it will be the case that the weapon was inadvertently discharged by the Death Squad member.

    It may take a little work to push back against inaccurate framing. But the idea that hand guns are inanimate objects operated by people is a pretty well fixed idea in the imagination of the average person. And guns have never made compelling anthromorphic characters in animation of any kind. Even Disney knew better than that.

    So it’s a pretty natural thing to remind people that if the gun was discharged as the lying troll is now convinced, then it was discharged by one of his executioners. And he will be responsible for that discharge. And that’s how the public will understand it. Just as Renee Good was responsible for putting her car in drive and moving it forward around Jonathan Ross when he shot her to death.

    These are just desperately silly verbal tactics the lying troll is now resorting to.

  107. 91,

    I’m very delighted to be compared to Roger.

    He’s a mensch in the fullest sense of the word.

  108. The armchair gun expert should look into the SIG problems first.

    1. Discharge without full trigger pull.

    The fist lesson in gun safety is never have finger in trigger until you are prepared to fire. A trained agent SHOULD follow that protocol and if not, negligence.

    2. Drop discharge at precise angle

    Video. Not dropped and SIG offered free repairs once the military version of the P320 was tested and found to have a potential drop discharge.

    (Yeah I work with a 2a gun nut who has a P320. And a ton of rifles all with optics and suppressors. He’s pissed they killed a licensed carry guy..Trump voter.)

  113. @75 From any angle, and in multiple videos, he didn’t look “run over” to me. But if he was, by some miracle he managed to fire two more shots, including a point-blank-range headshot, after being “run over.” And then walked, not limped, from the scene where he was “run over.”

    “Lying troll” sounds about right.

  114. 109,

    The troll officially entered his “(w)as it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” phase before lunch today.

  117. We’re all victims of the Deep State-sponsored federal gun violence.

  119. With the very abrupt suspension of all of Greg Bovino’s official social media accounts by the DHS, I’m now wondering if he’s going to be facing a series of defamation claims from his many victims.

    He should have been more cowardly like the troll and hid behind an anonymous sock puppet when serving up public libels.

  123. Seems like a deliberate upload by this channel, he doesn’t upload frequently. A not talked about much piece of Tacoma let alone Washington History, probably not relevant today. Ungrateful Tacoma residents, the Chinese probably helped build some outfit in Tacoma called Northern Pacific, put the city on the Map. Although a key part of the original line that built Tacoma is gone.(After Great Northern entered Seattle, NP realized their transcontinental needed to reach Seattle directly, so they built the Palmer Cutoff as a shortcut to Auburn, which is still active today)

  125. Boob? Bambino?

    I’ve never heard of that guy, but my high school coach told me I was a better pitcher and a better hitter than a Yankee. They called the great Bambino.

  126. These ICE guys are pretty similar to the Black and Tans who operated in Ireland a century ago.

  128. They were getting away with murdering a pink-haired lesbian, but murdering a white male legal gun owner because he was legally carrying is a bridge too far for the gun-loving Base.

  129. 127,

    Although ByteDance itself is highly profitable, TikTok loses staggering sums every year. Ellison has fucked himself. And he can’t really afford it. He is massively upside-down in his deal to provide compute to OpenAI. OpenAI is incapable of producing the revenues to support the deal. They must either raise more investment or default. Ellison knows this. So whatever we see Ellison do to fuck with TikTok’s algo we should assume it’s to create more dumb money to dump into AI.

  130. Right now, tonight, somewhere in America a little girl is hiding in an attic writing about ICE.

  133. Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders.

    “The court’s patience is at an end.”

    George W Bush appointee. Scalia and O’Connor clerk. Agreed with lower court the ‘crimes’ Bondi tried to strong arm the courts into retuning charges against the Church protestors so as not embarrass herself with a grand jury amount to ‘raising voices.’

    Best breakdown of the shooting

    Latest, perhaps.

    The first shot is attributed to a LEO agent but the shot itself is not seen and the “recoil” of his arm purportedly due to the shot is not persuasive.

    If the FAFOd alleged domestic terrorist’s handgun had a full magazine there would be no reason for an investigation into an inadvertent discharge, would there? So a missing bullet from the magazine is still a strong possibility, and I’ll suggest that it’s the best explanation for the single gunshot, which was followed shortly afterward by three more, and then by a fusillade of bullets from what seems to be two LEO firing simultaneously.

    “He’s got a gun!” repeatedly shouted >>>>> LEO notices empty holster on the alleged domestic terrorist >>>>> single gunshot would seem to be plenty of reason for defensive firearm response by LEO. Remember, it does not have to be the LEO’s own personal safety at risk. The safety of his fellow officers and of the public also factors into the decision-making.

    It wouldn’t be the “best” breakdown of the shooting if it misattributed the first gunshot. Watch it again and ask yourself if there truly is recoil in the LEO’s arm at the time of the first gunshot.

    Unpersuasive.

  141. Speaking @ 140 of unpersuasive breakdowns:

    Landeur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
    @Landeur

    I’ve slowed this down.

    In the huddle, one or more ICE officers shout ‘GUN’. This caused another officer to draw his sidearm.

    Another officer removed the man’s sidearm, and then walked away, but it was discharged negligently (see for yourself).

    The Sig P320 is notorious for NDing, but typically only when dropped.

    That then triggered the other agents to think that the man on the ground, Alex Pretti, had begun shooting, so they neutralised the perceived threat.

    If this is what happened, it’s an incredibly unfortunate accident in Minneapolis.

    @ArthurMacwaters

    Let me get this straight:

    1. prior administrations deported millions of people, and riots were basically nonexistent

    2. the moment trump took office, a coordinated campaign by politicians/legacy media *directly called for resistance to ICE*

    3. once riots happen and people are die, the spotlight shifts to stopping deportations and defunding ICE

    If this was such a crime against humanity, why did no one riot in 2024?

    The intention behind the unrest is NOT empathy.

    Empathy is being manufactured on false grounds to achieve political aims. And people are getting hurt.

    An awful lotta ICE deportation flights during the Biden administration didn’t generate much protesting at all. It all started with the DJT47 administration’s inauguration.

    In December, 57.9 percent of Hispanic and Latino voters disapproved of Trump’s job performance, while just 28.2 percent gave him positive marks at the time.

    Up 15 points in one month after ridding the Hispanic community of thousands of violent criminal illegals.

    The posts have referred to neo-Nazi literature, ethnic cleansing and QAnon conspiracies, mused about deporting nearly a third of the U.S. population, and promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the far-right militants of the Proud Boys.

    Their authors are not on society’s fringe. They are in the offices of the White House and the departments of Homeland Security and Labor, using official government accounts.

  159. The safety of his fellow officers and of the public also factors into the decision-making.

    lmao… yeah the executioner was “concerned” all right.. the shooter is clearly seen pushing away the asshole who disarmed the victim before taking the first shot. Not too bright. The shooter and the asshole who took the gun.

    And then one of the murderers babbles, “where’s the fucking gun?”

    Damage is done. One ICU VA nurse dead, executed by a death squad and top asshole is sent back to Cali.

    Lies fly all around. All sicko-phants like our local “domestic embarrassment” are still lying. They babble “never take a gun to a protest”.. yawwn. See Jan 6.

    The victim never touched his gun, never reached for it.

  162. @133 The fascists’ attempt to enlist the courts in their campaign of legal terrorism against political opponents and protesters is failing spectacularly, and now courts are turning against legal terrorists.

    This was predictable. Even conservative judges are for rule of law. Strange how fascist legal terrorists didn’t foresee that.

  163. @140 You’re making a pretty good case that a CBP agent took the gun from the holster to fool his fellow agents into thinking the victim went for his gun in order to incite them into shooting the victim.

    As for whether a bullet went missing from the victim’s gun, only the CBP agent who had the gun could have fired it.

    Sounds like a better plan than whatever the fuck Noem and Bovino have been up to since December.

    Which raises a valid question: what the fuck were they up to?

    ‘bye, AlvinQ.

  193. Keep running on the strong economy. keep posting about low inflation. Keep talking about S&P.

    It’s a WINNER.

    Washington
    —
    America’s economic mood deteriorated in January to its lowest level in more than a decade as consumers fretted about geopolitical tensions, affordability and President Donald Trump’s unrelenting trade war.

    The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index for January, released Tuesday, declined 9.7 points to a reading of 84.5, the lowest since 2014, surpassing the lows of last year when Trump unveiled stiff tariffs and the depths of the pandemic recession in 2020.

    January’s reading came in much lower than the 91.1 reading economists projected

  194. @ 193

    … America’s economic mood …

    AKA feelz.

    We’ll keep earning above the rate of inflation and we’ll keep spending for the same consumer items we’ve always spent for.

    But we’re not going to act like we’re happy about it.

  195. A reminder that @ 185 was possible because Walz finally sent out the Minnesota State Patrol.

  196. A purported rib injury during a previous week’s FAFO interference with federal LEO doing their jobs wasn’t enough stupidity for the alleged domestic terrorist.

    But it caught him by surprise, so he was prepared on the 24th to FA once again. Because he was armed.

  198. @151 Maybe that’s the motive behind these DHS-sponsored shootings. After all, Kristi Dogkiller is a big fan of guns. Even brandishes them for photo-ops.

    Of course, there’s zero chance that would incite masked agents into thinking they can shoot protesters and keep their jobs, amirite?

  199. @161 Three airplanes and two dead American citizens later, she’s still “on the job.” To quote another president,

    You’re doing a heckuva job, Brownie!

  200. @174 Now defend the mass summary deportations of immigrants who are here legally if you can. Because this gang sure as hell isn’t stopping with illegals. They’re even imprisoning citizens whose only “crime” is having the same skin color as illegals.

  201. @179 87% want illegals with criminal records deported. Why don’t liberals agree?

    Don’t you realize that 87% would have to include a large number of liberals?

    The other question to ask is, What’s wrong with the other 13%? The only people I can think of who might want illegal criminals here is correctional officers unions angling for job security.

  202. @ 200

    Now defend the mass summary deportations of immigrants who are here legally if you can.

    You might be referring to those who had TPS conferred on them by the last president.

    I refer you to the word “Temporary”.

  203. At 8:47 CST user Alvin Q. Responds to Salacious B. Crumb that he “will update” on the location of a suspected ICE vehicle

    The whereabouts and activities of public employees conducting normal law enforcement in our communities is not and should never be a secret.

    This is the WE THE PEOPLE gun-humping, glibertardians of the far right like our lying troll advocating for a national secret police. And further advocating that any effort to identify such a secret police be met with instant summary public execution.

    They live on their knees.

  204. @184 a focus on tracking convicted criminals living in the U.S. illegally and individuals with final deportation orders

    That’s something I would enthusiastically support, and I’m not even a fascist fuckwad like the failed horsefucker.

  205. @195

    According to a Rando on Twatter not withstanding the actual agencies’ socials responding to various ICE and protest related incidents in the last month.

    Keep fucking that horse, genius.

  206. @190 Shorter version: Stop following us, or we’ll put 10 bullets in your back.

    And the dumbfuck doctor is cheering this shit because he loves death.

  207. @202

    Nah.

    Referring to the tens of thousands with active asylum cases now in a concentration camp like a dad and his five-year-old boy from Minnesota.

    What color of lipstick have you not tried on that pig?

  209. December of 2025: “Well, calling them Nazis is a bit inflamatory.”

    January of 2026: “Jesus, those Nazis just executed that poor man.”

  210. 197,
    Keep in mind that’s following three hours in makeup and a gram up his nose.

  211. Today, a heavily armed team of the ICE Fat Asses the idiot lying troll claims are engaged in normal, lawful immigration enforcement attempted a forcible entry with arms into the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis.

  212. For every new STEM PhD hired by the US Government in 2025, 11 quit/retired/fired. Eleven.

    Keep that in mind when the lying troll brings up STEM and “useless degrees”. Under Republican control the U.S. is purging PhDs from public service and replacing them with Execution Squads manned manned by goons who can’t read.

  213. The source of the lying troll’s intercepted Signal chats is going to turn out to be the DHS itself (which is against the law!!!😲):

    https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/us/alex-pretti-protesters-minneapolis-invs

    It is unclear how Pretti first came to the attention of federal authorities, but sources told CNN that about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals.

    “One thing I’m pushing for right now … we’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous,” Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, told Fox News earlier this month.

    Mission accomplished.

    And thus establishing criminal motive and premeditation.
    Brilliant.

  214. CBS’ New Ukraine Correspondent is a graduate of Yale with 7 months as a freelancer.

    White guy.

    ‘Merit based hiring really. We saw his reel on the YouTube and liked the cut of his jib. Always room for a Yalie.’

    Dude wasn’t even alive when the US agreed to defend Ukraine for all time in exchange for shipping the Nukes back to Russia.

  215. @202 “Temporary” rhymes with “legal,” dumbass.

    Oh, I get it now, if Biden gave them TPS they’re “illegal,” just like everything else Biden did, in the fever dreams of you and your Orange Leader.

  217. CNN appears to be the first mainstream outlet willing to ask the question in light of today’s revelation about the illegal gathering of American citizen information by DHS and the possibility that at least one agent on scene knew who Pretti was before they murdered him..

    Does kind of make you wonder what the chatter on their radio was about who might be Legally monitoring. them and if that is part of the sudden departure of Bobino

    Pretti’s name was known to federal agents, according to a source – though it’s unclear whether the new intake form was used to share his information.

    It’s also not clear whether the federal agents who encountered Pretti on Saturday recognized him before they confronted him – eventually wrestling him to the ground, taking a gun from his waistband and then fatally shooting him.
