Leftist agitators and the corporate media wasted no time capitalizing on the death of a woman who was fatally shot by an ICE officer after she appeared to ram an agent who was positioned in front of her vehicle.

While those with common sense rightly point out that the shooting was justified by the circumstances and backed up by legal precedent, the left quickly capitalized on the woman’s death by further demonizing federal law enforcement and repeating their tired accusation that the Trump administration is little more than a fascist tyranny.

The shooting on Wednesday and the Somali fraud scandal that at least partially caused the ICE crackdown in Minneapolis call attention to the fact that the left will fanatically defend those whose crimes they themselves have facilitated.

This week, President Trump sent shockwaves through Wall Street when he announced via Truth Social his plan to ban large corporations and foreign entities from purchasing single-family homes. The proposal targets institutional investors like Blackstone and other real estate investment trusts that have been buying up American homes by the hundreds of thousands —  driving up prices and locking out first-time buyers.

Political support came swiftly from both sides of the aisle. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, announced that he would introduce legislation to codify the ban, saying, “Millions of young Americans have been locked out of the American Dream.” Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.V., called it “huge,” while Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Jim Banks, R-Ind., signaled support. Even Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said she’s been advocating for years to limit Wall Street from buying up America’s homes.

The market reaction was severe. Invitation Homes tumbled 6 percent. Blackstone fell 9 percent. American Homes 4 Rent dropped 6.3 percent. And Wall Street understood completely: Trump means business. But for Main Street families, this proposal offers real hope.

Thousands of anti-ICE demonstrators gathered around the scene of an ICE-involved shooting in South Minneapolis, which left a 37-year-old woman dead after she attempted to run down a federal agent with her vehicle on Wednesday morning.

Shortly after the incident took place at the corner of Portland and 34th Street, a sizable contingent of leftist rioters proceeded to pelt federal agents with projectiles and blunt objects as they attempted to evacuate the scene. Agents deployed less-than-lethal crowd control measures while exiting, leaving the scene in the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department.

Not long after 2 p.m. local time, police fled after they came under assault by rioters hurling snowballs and other projectiles. A mob then proceeded to advance up 34th Street, impeding traffic and harassing drivers.

A number of rioters also stormed the Diana E. Murphy United States Courthouse at 300 South Fourth Street, the main federal court facility in the city. Rioters smashed bulletproof glass out front of the building, while a woman who identified herself as a “lawyer” told the crowd to line up outside the doors in order to trap everyone inside.

The problem with the left is that they don’t actually stand for anything. This is why they would rather support a narco-terrorist dictator while protesting a fake dictator, a.k.a. the leader of the free world. They hate Trump so much that they would rather have Venezuelans continue to live in poverty and famine in an effort not give him a win. This is because, to them, this is a third-world problem—something their first-world brains could not even begin to understand if their lives depended on it. This is wrong, which is why one Venezuelan woman broke down in tears while speaking to KATV, calling out liberals for saying, “This is not a reason for celebration.”

The people who have a problem with what happened in Venezuela cannot even begin to understand anything this woman is saying. They don’t know what it’s like to not have a shower. In the U.S., something like Walmart is often frequented by lower-income individuals. But to this woman, she couldn’t even believe such a selection of food existed.

Many of her friends just disappeared. Many of her loved ones were forced to eat trash. The people were living in fear. This is not something the left can even begin to comprehend. They don’t even care, as they would rather these people suffer than give Trump a win.

Yeah, some woman got wrecked trying to murder federal agents and got a face-full of lead. Sorry, not sorry. We’re taking a victory lap here. We all saw how the Left reacted when Charlie Kirk got assassinated, so excuse me as I couldn’t give less of a #$%^ about your indignation right now, liberal America. These agents were doing their job: enforcing federal immigration laws. This leftist clown, Renee Nicole Good, 37, tried to run over an ICE agent and was shot and killed.

During a press conference this evening with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the officer was struck by Good’s vehicle and went to the hospital. ICE operations will not end. The deportations will continue. And the memes from this incident have been gold. A great way to not get shot by law enforcement is to not try and run them over.

Blurb:

Rioters smashed the doors of the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis while chanting “ICE OUT NOW!”—as leftist organizers mobilized thousands more protesters at the site of the ICE-involved shooting, screaming “RISE UP.” This chaos did not erupt spontaneously. It was fueled by deliberate incitement from Democrat officials and activists who know exactly what they are doing.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz openly urged Americans to take to the streets, telling crowds in Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and beyond to “stand with us” against federal enforcement. Instead of calling for calm or ordering an end to the obstruction and assault of federal officers, he encouraged mass protest against the Trump administration—while Minneapolis leaders told ICE to “get the f*ck out” and Democrat candidates urged people to put their “bodies on the line.” This is not de-escalation. It is mobilization.

What is unfolding is not protest—it is organized insurrection. Large networks of leftist extremists and self-described communists coordinated all-day harassment of ICE agents, following them, blockading roads, filming confrontations, and provoking encounters. Video shows agents being stalked for hours. One rioter blockaded the road while others filmed. Four vehicle-ramming incidents occurred in a single day.

Wednesday’s fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has brough even more national attention to arrest and deportation efforts and more national attention still to the state of Minnesota after seemingly countless fraud schemes in the Somali population were exposed.

On the former, media members and the public alike took to dissecting Wednesday’s footage of Good’s altercation with ICE as she tried to stop officers from doing their jobs, parking her car in the street and refusing to move it.

Good’s last moments as she tried to drive into an officer have been the subject of intense debate as to what her intentions actually were, but another telling moment from her partner reveals why she was trying to stop ICE in the first place.

According to the New York Post, Good’s partner, in the immediate aftermath, was heard saying, “I made her come down here, it’s my fault.”

“They just shot my wife,” she added.

On Wednesday, an anti-ICE protester thought it would be a good idea to attempt to run over ICE agents in Minneapolis. She learned the hard way that attacking a federal law enforcement officer is not a good idea, and officers wound up shooting and killing her.

Ever since, the left has been gaslighting the public, claiming that the ICE agent shot her without provocation, that he wasn’t in front of the car when she hit the gas, that she was just turning her vehicle when she was shot, and that she wasn’t even involved in the anti-ICE protests.

An eyewitness to the incident has completely blown apart the left’s false narratives and even directly contradicted claims from the victim’s own mother that she had nothing to do with the protest that turned violent.

The 26-year-old man who allegedly attacked the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance early Monday morning appears to be yet another radical transvestite.

Just hours after the vice president concluded his visit to the city and departed for the national capital, a suspect armed with a hammer was spotted by U.S. Secret Service agents running along the front fence, then breaching the perimeter of Vance’s Ohio house.

‘As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in.’

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cincinnati indicated in a release that the suspect, William DeFoor, was ordered to stop and drop the hammer after he allegedly attempted to break the window of a USSS vehicle blocking the driveway entrance. DeFoor allegedly refused to comply and proceeded to smash the front windows of Vance’s house — windows apparently equipped with “enhanced security assets.”

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—One of the largest hotel chains in the United States is purportedly refusing service to immigration agents amid a growing crackdown in the Minneapolis region.

A hotel associated with Hilton Hotels & Resorts is explicitly refusing service to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempting to book reservations in Minneapolis, according to a company email released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The apparent anti-ICE policy follows increased federal law enforcement activity in the city, which is reeling from immigrant-related fraud.

“We have noticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS, and we are not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property,” a Hilton email stated to an unidentified DHS employee. “If you are with DHS or immigration, let us know as we will have to cancel your reservation.”

Hilton allegedly followed up on this email with another message roughly two hours later:

Nick Shirley, a 23-year-old conservative YouTuber and independent journalist, gained national attention in late December 2025 after posting a viral 43-minute video titled, “I Investigated Minnesota’s Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal,” in which he visited several Minneapolis childcare centers — primarily Somali-run — and claimed they were empty or inactive despite receiving millions in federal and state government funding.

Shirley’s footage showed locked doors, blacked out windows, and no visible children during his visits despite public payment records, sparking national scrutiny, federal investigations by the FBI and DHS, a temporary freeze on childcare funding to Minnesota (and briefly nationwide), and political fallout — most notably Gov. Tim Walz (D) dropping his re-election bid.

On yesterday’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Shirley told Glenn that the Minnesota day-care fraud he exposed doesn’t even scratch the surface. If we want to see how deep the corruption really goes, there are several people who absolutely must be investigated.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) is running for re-election. A year after the horrific failures of the Palisades and Eaton Fires that raged while she partied in Ghana on the taxpayers’ dime, you would think she’d either slink under a rock or take some accountability.

Instead, she is making the rounds of D-List Democrat podcasts, like former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, to reinvent and manufacture a record that doesn’t exist. Bass’ latest revisionist take: The 2025 L.A. anti-ICE Riots were comparable to rowdy sports fans when the Lakers won the championship. Apparently, flaming Waymos and Mexican flags are now standard at championship parades.

Bass also ranted that the National Guard wasn’t needed to quell last summer’s unrest, and alleged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are just modern-day slave patrols.

Normal people are breathing a sigh of relief that narco-terrorist leader Nicolás Maduro is finally getting his just desserts for getting fat off of the torture of his citizens and funneling drugs into the U.S. for years. For MRC Business, it’s a moment worth recalling when the idiotas at The New York Times made their readers dumber by blaming anything but communism and socialism for Venezuela’s destruction.

The July 28, 2024, story that Times Venezuela reporter Anatoly Kurmanaev, international correspondent Frances Robles and Andes Bureau Chief Julie Turkewitz ran was so bad it was enough to make people lose IQ points:

[I]n recent years, the socialist model has given way to brutal capitalism, economists say, with a small state-connected minority controlling much of the nation’s wealth.

Yes, the journos actually attempted to make Maduro and Venezuela’s bread lines synonymous with — *checks notes* — “capitalism.”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is hitting Democrats for their stance against the Trump administration’s capture of former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, saying their responses are rooted in partisan politics.

Following the U.S. military’s seizure and arrest of Maduro this weekend, many Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump, coming out against the operation and arrest of the foreign leader as an overreach. Fetterman, known for his willingness to break ranks when he disagrees with his party, pointed to former President Joe Biden’s own move to increase the bounty on Maduro to $25 million.

“Democrats, we all agree he was a terrible person, and the kinds of chaos and misery he brought to Venezuela. And he’s gone. Why can’t we just say that’s a good thing?” Fetterman said, referring to Maduro in a radio interview with John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby of the Cats & Cosby Show.

Jasmine Crockett appeared on The View. Maybe she thought she would sound smart and win over Trump supporters in Texas. Maybe she didn’t. Nonetheless, she did none of that, and let’s just say she continues to decrease her chances of winning a seat in the Senate by the second.

According to Crockett, “everything that this administration does is illegal.” But if that were true, why is it not true? If she is going to talk about crimes, she should do her homework first.

What does she even mean when she claims Trump talked to “oil folks”? That makes zero sense, and the fact that she thinks he needs permission from people like her is deeply unserious.

She knows nothing about Venezuela.

Border czar Tom Homan questioned Sunday why Minnesota authorities should be involved in investigating an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s fatal shooting of a woman, arguing that they have thus far failed to cooperate with the Trump administration.

An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good while carrying out an enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, prompting emotional reactions from Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis. Homan told “Fox News Sunday” guest host Jacqui Heinrich that Walz and Frey’s “irritates” him after Heinrich mentioned Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s comments defending the agent’s actions.

“It is a federal crime to impede or interfere with an ICE officer. … we can see what’s happening throughout the country, I think it’s a funded, organized attack against ICE officers,” Homan said. “And what irritates me is, the left wants to play this game that ICE  they’re not law enforcement officers. They are federal law enforcement officers. Impeding them or interfering with them is a crime.”

Kaine is fresh off the victory of his war powers resolution passing in the Senate last week on Venezuela operations. However, Trump is now teasing an invasion of Greenland, suggesting he would take the Danish territory “the hard way” if necessary.

“We are going to do something in Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor,” Trump told reporters Friday at the White House.

In a Sunday appearance on CBS News’s Face the Nation, Kaine responded to what he referred to as the “disastrous” announcement with a threat of his own.

President Trump was briefed on new options for military strikes in Iran, a senior U.S. official confirmed Sunday.

Mr. Trump appeared to lay out his red line for action on Friday when he warned that if the Iranian government began “killing people like they have in the past, we would get involved.”

“We’ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts,” he said at the White House. “And that doesn’t mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts.”

On social media, Mr. Trump offered his support for the protesters, saying that “Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!”

Mr. Trump’s warnings come as nationwide unrest challenging Iran’s theocracy crossed the two-week mark. At least 538 people have died in violence surrounding the demonstrations, U.S.-based activists said, with fears the death toll is far higher. More than 10,600 people have been arrested, the Human Rights Activists News Agency said.

The situation on the ground in Venezuela is a mixed bag right now, which is to be expected. One doesn’t just pluck the lead narco-terrorist from a “government” that’s basically organized crime and expect sunshine and roses within a week. It’s going to take time for Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and the United States team to pull all the weeds, and I have no doubt that, if anyone can do it, those two men can.

It’s also changing so quickly that it’s hard to keep up with everything.

That said, I’m seeing a lot of misinformation, speculation, confusion, and biased reporting out there — surprise, surprise — and I want to set the record straight on what’s happening in Venezuela right this minute. Everything I’m going to say comes from our State Department, credible human rights groups, sources on the ground, and people with whom I’ve connected who are from that country.  None of them are anonymous.

The Department of Health and Human Services will be freezing funding for childcare services in five blue states, the Trump administration announced on Monday.

The New York Post reported that over $10 billion in childcare funding would be paused for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York after funds were being funneled to illegal immigrants. Further, all 50 states will be required to provide increased data before releasing funds for childcare.

HHS further announced that it would close a Biden-era loophole that allowed for payouts without verifying attendance. Under the new guidelines, states can require payouts to be granted by attendance rather than enrollment and upfront payouts are no longer required.

“Paying providers upfront based on paper enrollment instead of actual attendance invites abuse,” Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill said in a statement. “In Minnesota, we’ve seen credible and widespread allegations of fraudulent daycare providers who were not caring for children at all. The reforms we are enacting will make fraud harder to perpetrate.”

Explosive new details have emerged surrounding the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, revealing that anti-ICE activists were actively training locals on how to obstruct federal immigration agents just days before the confrontation turned deadly.

According to screenshots shared by journalist Julie Kelly, a Minnesota chapter of the activist network “ICE Watch” held a virtual training session on Monday.

The training session was only two days before Good was shot dead by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis.

Gun control activist David Hogg suggested during a Sunday morning MS NOW appearance that merely arguing Renee Good may have been in the wrong when she was allegedly fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent amounts to “dangerous” rhetoric.

The ousted Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair repeatedly used the word “dangerous” to refer to Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials making the case the ICE agent shot Good in self-defense Wednesday in Minneapolis. On the day of the shooting, Assistant Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Good was “attempting to run over our law enforcement officers” and the agent fired the fatal shot “fearing for his life.” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem likewise likened Good’s last actions to “domestic terrorism.”

“I just think about how incredibly dangerous this rhetoric is, regardless of what she wants to say about this person, they were calling her a domestic terrorist before her body was cold,” Hogg, 25, told “The Weekend” co-host Eugene Daniels on Sunday. “That is so dangerous for the government to be doing that. Across the board, we all should be agreeing that there needs to be an investigation here, before we have anybody in the Executive Branch coming and saying, ‘Well, this is exactly who she [Good] was.’”

A team of researchers in China has just pulled the curtain back on a new sodium-sulfur battery design that could fundamentally change the math on energy storage. By leaning into the very chemistry that has historically made sulfur a headache for engineers, they have managed to build a cell that is incredibly cheap to make but still packs a massive energy punch.

The design, which is currently being tested in the lab, uses dirt-cheap ingredients: sulfur, sodium, aluminum, and a chlorine-based electrolyte. In early trials, the battery hit energy densities over 2,000 watt-hours per kilogram – a figure that blows today’s sodium-ion batteries out of the water and even gives top-tier lithium cells a run for their money.

The City of San Antonio can no longer fund abortion-related services, including out-of-state travel, due to the passage of Senate Bill 33 in 2025 and enforcement actions by the Texas Attorney General’s Office, according to a new release issued earlier today. In 2025, the Texas Legislature passed (and Gov. Greg Abbott signed) Senate Bill 33, which prohibits governmental entities from using taxpayer funds to support abortion providers or “abortion assistance entities,” including logistical support such as travel to other states for abortions not permitted in Texas.

The City of San Antonio had previously established a $100,000 allocation within its Reproductive Justice Fund specifically to cover travel for out-of-state abortions. That program has now ended as a result of the new law and related legal action.

“We are grateful that one of our major pro-life goals from last year’s legislative session has now been fully realized,” said Dr. Joe Pojman, President of Texans for Life. “Thanks to Gov. Greg Abbott, the Legislature, and the Attorney General, taxpayers in San Antonio — and every other city in Texas — are protected from being forced to pay for abortion services, including travel to obtain abortions not legal in our state.”
