Top Democrats Are Agitating For Insurrection And Political Vigilantism

/1 Comment/in , /by

Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left.

In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to mobilize to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.”

When asked if the National Guard would be deployed against federal agents, or if anything like that has ever happened before, Walz said, “We’ve never been at war with our federal government,” and at one point told Minnesotans, “do not allow them to deploy federal troops here.”

It’s an almost unbelievable series of statements from a sitting governor. If taken at face value, it amounts to a threat to use the Minnesota National Guard for an anti-federal insurrection — something that has never quite happened in American history (the late 1850s armed conflict between the Mormons and the U.S. Army comes to mind, but Utah was a territory at the time, not a state). If Walz actually follows through with that threat, it will be an open act of sedition.

In that case, the moderate response would be to immediately arrest Walz, federalize the Minnesota National Guard, and declare martial law. Is Walz radical and clueless enough to actually do this? He was willing to let Minneapolis burn in the 2020 BLM riots before he activated the National Guard to restore order, so who knows.

Democrats: No One Would Get Shot If We Just Let Them Attack Law Enforcement

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’re back to pretending there’s a debate to be had over whether someone recklessly disobeying law enforcement was justified in getting whacked. Per usual, Democrats and the dying news media are insisting it’s a civil right on par with free speech to not only interfere with arrests but to endanger the lives of government officials and innocent pedestrians in the process.

Minneapolis this week saw the deadly shooting of a 37-year-old woman who used her two-ton SUV to block a street patrolled by police and immigration enforcement agents. Several videos from different angles all show the same thing.

While officials are posted up in their vehicles, pedestrians are blowing whistles and yelling in protest. Renee Nicole Good, the now-deceased woman, has her Honda Pilot parked longways in the center of the street, obstructing traffic. When three officers approach Good and command her to exit the vehicle, she puts her car into reverse before shifting forward and flooring the gas pedal, apparently striking one of the agents on his left side. That officer had his weapon drawn for her to see, and when she failed to brake, he fired multiple rounds. The SUV then slams high-speed into another parked car on the road’s left shoulder.

An investigation is pending, and in the meantime, Democrat leaders and their supporters in the dying media are faulting law enforcement. “This was clearly not with any sort of intention to run somebody over but to get out of there,” Democrat Minneapolis Mayor and Somali whisperer Jacob Frey said Wednesday on CNN. “And you don’t need a legal degree to know that that does not authorize the use of deadly force.”

The Washington Post on Thursday ran headlines like “ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows”; “Minneapolis protests remain peaceful after ICE officer fatally shoots woman”; and “Woman killed was a mother of 3 and a poet.” (She may have also been a fan of sunny days and warm blankets, there’s no telling.)

Renee Nicole Good Was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘Warrior’ Who Trained to Resist Feds Before Shooting

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

“I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right.”

Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.

House Passes Obamacare Subsidies, Defying GOP Leaders and Putting Pressure on Senate

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday extending Obamacare subsidies for three years, upping the pressure on Senate Republicans to reconsider the legislation just months after Democrats forced a government shutdown over the issue.

The House voted 230-196 to approve tens of billions of dollars in Affordable Care Act tax credits, with more than a dozen Republicans crossing party lines to join every Democrat.

The credits expired on Dec. 31, 2025, after having been previously enhanced through legislation passed under former President Joe Biden and a Democratic-controlled Congress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Roughly 22 million Americans are expected to have higher health care premiums this year as a result.

At least nine House Republicans had crossed party lines to advance the bill Wednesday — and at least 17 GOP lawmakers voted for its final passage. (Read more from “House Passes Obamacare Subsidies, Defying GOP Leaders and Putting Pressure on Senate” HERE)

Trump Wants to Ban Institutional Investors From Purchasing Single-Family Homes

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump said in a statement on social media that he is moving to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes and that he wants Congress to “codify” the ban into law.

The president has made easing the housing crisis a goal of his second term, and many have pointed to institutional investors as a large source of the problem.

In a post on Truth Social Wednesday, Trump mentioned banning institutional housing purchases and hinted at other solutions to ease the housing crisis.

“For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans,” he wrote.

“It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it,” the president added. “People live in homes, not corporations.”

Trump did not provide details about these “steps” in the post. (Read more from “Trump Wants to Ban Institutional Investors From Purchasing Single-Family Homes” HERE)

Trump Greenlights Tough Russia Sanctions Bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham Announces

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has “greenlit” a bipartisan bill to impose tough sanctions on Russia and countries that support it, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced Wednesday.

“After a very productive meeting today with President Trump on a variety of issues, he greenlit the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that I have been working on for months with Senator Blumenthal and many others,” Graham wrote on X.

“This will be well-timed, as Ukraine is making concessions for peace and Putin is all talk, continuing to kill the innocent,” the South Carolina Republican continued.

Graham said the legislation will allow Trump to “punish those countries who buy cheap Russian oil fueling Putin’s war machine.”

It will also provide the president with “tremendous leverage against countries like China, India and Brazil to incentivize them to stop buying the cheap Russian oil that provides the financing for Putin’s bloodbath against Ukraine,” according to the senator.

US Will Control Venezuelan Oil Sales ‘Indefinitely,’ Energy Secretary Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration said Wednesday it will control Venezuela’s oil sales “indefinitely” in the wake of deposed strongman ruler Nicolás Maduro’s capture.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright asserted the US will market and sell Venezuelan crude, with proceeds held in US-controlled accounts that he said “can flow back” to Venezuela, a day after President Trump said Venezuela would turn tens of millions of barrels of oil over to the US.

“Instead of the oil being blockaded, as it is right now, we’re gonna let the oil flow … to United States refineries and around the world to bring better oil supplies, but have those sales done by the US government,” Wright said at Goldman Sachs’ Energy, CleanTech & Utilities Conference in Aventura, Fla., on Wednesday.

The US will first move to sell millions of barrels of Venezuelan crude currently stuck in storage because of US sanctions and a blockade, and then take over the sale of ongoing production for the foreseeable future, according to the energy secretary.

“We’re going to market the crude coming out of Venezuela, first this backed-up stored oil, and then indefinitely, going forward, we will sell the production that comes out of Venezuela into the marketplace,” Wright said.

Media Don’t Want You To Know Anti-ICE Driver In Minneapolis Rammed Agents With Her Car

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It didn’t take long, but America’s propaganda media have (unsurprisingly) already begun to whitewash the anti-ICE violence at the heart of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials.

On Wednesday, a U.S. immigration official reportedly fired upon and killed a woman who was allegedly antagonizing agents during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The most pertinent detail about this story, however, is that video of the incident appears to show the suspect in question attempting to run down an agent with her vehicle.

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin provided further information about the incident, writing on X, “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.”

“This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement. These men and women who are simply enforcing the law on the books are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,” McLaughlin wrote.

Having spent the past year vilifying the Trump administration’s deportations and immigration enforcement operations, it came as no surprise when legacy media leapt into action to obscure the car-ramming in its immediate coverage of the incident.

Sanctioned Oil Tankers Try Mass Run At US Blockade Of Venezuela

/0 Comments/in , /by

At least 15 U.S. sanctioned oil tankers have reportedly broken the complete blockade of Venezuelan oil exports since the Saturday capture of ousted socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, using so-called “dark mode” tactics to evade capture.

The now-departed ships had been docked in Venezuelan ports for weeks, the New York Times (NYT) reported Monday. Tankers in the group used techniques employed by the modern “ghost fleet” of sanction skirting ships, including painting names of decommissioned vessels on ships’ hulls, misrepresenting their positions, and leaving in coordinated fashion to escape the blockade.

Four tankers, now some 30-miles off port, were tracked by satellite sailing east, according to the NYT. These tankers did not secure authorization from the new interim government led by Maduro’s former vice president, the NYT reported citing internal communications and two anonymous sources in the Venezuelan oil industry. The remaining ships have not been located and are not broadcasting any signals.

“The embargo on all Venezuelan oil remains in full effect,” President Donald Trump said on Saturday during a press conference detailing Maduro’s capture. “The American armada remains poised in position, and the United States retains all military options until United States demands have been fully met and fully satisfied.”

All fifteen of the identified tankers are under U.S. sanctions Trump imposed on Dec. 16 against Maduro, according to a Reuters report Monday. (Read more from “Sanctioned Oil Tankers Try Mass Run At US Blockade Of Venezuela” HERE)

Shocking Video Captures Fatal ICE Shooting During Minneapolis Protests

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fired multiple shots at a driver while standing in front of her car during protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday, video footage shows.

At least three federal agents were seen approaching the now-deceased driver’s SUV and ordering her to step out just before the altercation occurred in a video posted on X by Minnesota Reformer journalist Max Nesterak and by Insider Wire. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) blamed the driver for the incident in a statement, claiming she attempted to run an officer over just before he fired.

“Get out of the car. Get out of the f**king car,” one agent was heard saying in the video as the group approached the vehicle on a snowy road in a suburban neighborhood. The agent then grabbed the car’s door handle, and a bystander is heard yelling “No!” as the driver begins to move the car backward.

Another agent was seen circling the car just as it was moving, eventually standing in front of it just before it lunged forward. He fired at least two shots at the driver as the car came towards him before moving out of the way as it continued moving forward, the footage shows. The car then veered off the side of the road and crashed into another vehicle. (Read more from “Shocking Video Captures Fatal ICE Shooting During Minneapolis Protests” HERE)
