On Wednesday, Renee Nicole Good died in Minneapolis after being shot in a defensive shooting by an ICE agent who had previously been hit by a car in a similar situation. Almost everyone is focused on the specific events of that day rather than what is clearly an escalatory spiral with no endpoint in sight.
Andrea Widburg wrote an excellent post the other day that correctly redirected us to the growing schism between leftists’ grasp on reality and their actions. Not highlighted in this article are the special circumstances that the left has cultivated over the last generation, which have set the country up for an eventual reckoning that increasingly looks like a war between the states.
The Founders always understood that regional differences in taste, culture, society, economics, and more would continue under the framework of a united country. That is one of the principal reasons we have independent states, governed by a system of governors and individual legislatures, rather than an all-powerful federal system. It was believed that common interests would ensure harmonious relations between the states, as their basic proclivities would always align. The Founders never foresaw that artificial constructs would change that commonality of interests. But it has happened!
Democrats can be very crafty. The history of sanctuary cities shows that, while they began in the 80s, it was only in this century that the movement grew and became radicalized, eventually thwarting federal laws and enforcement efforts.
Americans, even law-and-order Americans, don’t like heavy-handed enforcement against citizens. Additionally, America has a history of diverse political thought, giving rise to the current schism between the left and the right.
While the right has generally been more law-abiding, especially in the last fifty years, the left has become more activist. Bolstered by left-leaning politicians, attorneys general and district

I don’t think that the festering sores of blue cities and blue states will cause a civil war. We can just withhold bailouts and watch them collapse. It is socialist presidents like Joe Biden that could cause a civil war.
After Charlie Kirk it became obvious that a couple of million of them need to be taken out.
” It is socialist presidents like Joe Biden that could cause a civil war.”
The American people, collectively, aren’t very well informed. The public is most likely going to give the House to the Dems. After 2 years of impeachments and failed attempts to get anything done, don’t be shocked if we get a Dem president.
When you can talk a retarded “slob warrior” into committing suicide by ICE you know communism is strong. The stupid far-left maggots are celebrating this moron for sacrificing her big dumb ass. What a jerk. Get out there and ram ICE, you’re going to feel what the Titanic felt. Morons.
Democrats created sanctuary cities to impose one party rule by harboring illegal aliens. Nullification has been allowed to metastasize. Now panicked Putz is threatening to use the MN National Guard to eject ICE. CA, WA and OR might join him. The cold civil war could turn hot quick.
I urge the National Guard to ignore illegal orders.
Don’t think the guard would follow those orders and if Trump responded with the military they would stand down or help them lest get outclassed. Trump should just take over the guard or seize all their hardware.
Seek personal stability and emotional stability. Be determined. Get/stay physically fit. Go to the range regularly. Be aware of various possibilities and potential responses. Consider your survival options under any circumstances.
Luckily Trump is suited to be a wartime POTUS. He will not bow to the forces of chaos & anarchy.
“”Renee Nicole Good died in Minneapolis after being shot in a defensive shooting by an ICE agent who had previously been hit by a car in a similar situation.””
PREVIOUSLY? SIMILAR? How on earth are we supposed to read/concentrate on the story when the first sentence in an article doesn’t make any sense? Is there another event we weren’t made privy to?
Saw are report that Chicago has a budget shortfall of close to one billion dollars going into 2026, and by law they can not go bankrupt. Socialism always runs out of other people’s money. Do you think President Trump is in the mode to bail them out?
If it’s gonna go down, I wish they’d stop pussyfooting around it. I’m getting old, and I want to be of some use when this thing goes down.
Heavy handedness against citizens is definitely not a good thing, but criminals who use their cars as weapons against law enforcement and illegal immigrants? Pedal to the metal
I’m thinking, How would Lincoln have reacted to the Insurrection in Minnesota? New York? California? Illinois?
I expect it. Considering the chaos when Trump tries to enforce the law with criminal aliens, and the absent, mostly silent GOP...
Re previous event:
That same ICE agent was struck and injured in ANOTHER event a few weeks prior to this event.
They have been firing these shots for decades now. The shots only stop when they get back in power, but as soon as they lose power the shots begin firing yet again.
