Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.
His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 
I sued them for wrongful termination and won.
So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Honestly, it was scary to think about being named.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7.
This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

I genuinely do now know who Hasan Piker is other than "some guy on the internet" and when Democrats are wasting their time addressing comments made by some guy on the internet they're losing.
He's not a candidate for anything. Who cares about him?

Hasan Piker is simply not famous enough to normies to warrant this level of attention! He does not demand these endless statements!
Nick Fuentes dined with the president and Republicans just played the “I don’t know her” game. No reason to play into this bad-faith shit.

Israel just killed a 4-year-old. It's targeting people flying kites. Israeli terrorists are besieging an Ohio man's home. And instead of doing anything about that, the machine is going full-court press on a guy who said it's dangerous to conflate Jewish people with this behavior.

I actually think there is a role for video recording glasses during open surgery to review video of a surgical case and improve quality. But absolutely requires patient consent and hipaa compliant storage of video data.
JFC ban these sex crime glasses in healthcare. If anyone you know buys them it is your duty to mock them until they stop wearing them.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.
BREAKING: ICE orders officers to stop pursuing people in vehicles after fatal shootings in Maine and Texas, according to a current senior DHS official and two former senior DHS officials.
ICE told to stop pursuing people in cars as pressure to arrest blamed for fatal shootings
The administration’s stepped up pressure to increase arrests has put officers under “too much stress,” sources told NBC News after two men who weren’t initial ICE targets were killed in less than a week.

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough. They need to be prosecuted.
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.
There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.
