Earlier this week, Kevin Downey Jr. wrote about what he calls "affluent white liberal women," or AWFLs, pegging them as the biggest internal threat to America. Not foreign enemies. Not terror cells. Just well-off women with pronouns in their bios and too much time on their hands. He described them as attention-seeking harpies who push extreme gender ideology, drag their kids to medicalized gender clinics, and parade them at sexualized drag shows labeled as "family-friendly." These are the same people, he argued, who want to defund the police, defend criminals no matter how violent or foreign, and censor anyone who...

Social media is crawling with self-proclaimed forensic analysts poring over footage of Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis and insisting it shows the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good lacked justification. Some of the takes are downright embarrassing, with left-wing influencers confidently analyzing the wrong ICE agent altogether, pointing to the one at the side of the vehicle instead of the agent positioned in front of it. Some simply post the same footage we’ve all seen and merely declare the video proves the agent is a murderer. I’ve seen it all, and let me tell you, of all the analyses out...

Multiple videos captured the deadly encounter between a federal agent and Renee Good, raising questions about whether it was an authorized use of force. Rob Doar, a defense attorney and head of the Gun Owners Law Center, reviewed the videos with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. He emphasized that the use of force should be a last resort, used only in self-defense after all other options are exhausted. “The first shot seems to be while the vehicle is advancing towards him,” said Doar. “The second and third shot that we see in the video comes from the side driver’s window. That becomes...

The same party that brought you the “Maryland Dad” narrative for Kilmar Abrego Garcia now wants to sell you the narrative of the innocent “Minnesota Mom" for Renee Nicole Good. Good is not a MS-13 gang member or a human trafficker like Abrego Garcia, but she’s not the scared and confused mom who just happened to find herself caught up in an ICE operation that she didn't understand and panicked. According to a new report, she 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.”(snip)...

All lies! Starts at the 10 minute mark.

Renee Nicole Good’s wife was antagonizing ICE agents and even urged her to “drive baby, drive” just moments before the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, according to shocking new video taken on the agent’s own cell phone. The video — filmed by agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday and obtained by Alpha News — shows the heated interaction between the Goods in the lead-up to the shooting. Renee can be seen behind the driver’s seat of the plum-colored Honda Pilot, while her wife, Rebecca, stands in the street next to the car. A dog is also sitting in the back seat, peering...

The ICE agent involved in the deadly Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good has been identified as Jonathan Ross. Ross was an 'experienced' officer, sources told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Thursday. Good, 37, was shot and killed on Wednesday afternoon while she was driving her SUV down a street where ICE agents were on duty. Multiple videos show the agent, identified as Ross, opening fire on Good and hitting her in the face while she was behind the wheel. The Trump administration says Good was a 'professional agitator' who had been stalking federal agents. But Democratic officials in Minneapolis...

The woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had just moved to the city. She was a prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist, who was there as a legal observer of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, city leaders have said. But the Trump administration has called her a "domestic terrorist". Good's death has sparked protests across the country, with many people holding signs that read "Justice for Renee". ... A fundraiser for Good's family, which was set up with a target of $50,000...

Many are rushing to judgement. Some falsely concluded after watching the video, perhaps due to the smoke signature that the agent at the window fired the shot, but that's not the case. There was another agent not as clearly seen who was directly in the path of the vehicle. This pic shows one agent at the window who did not fire. The arrow points to the lesser seen agent in the path of the vehicle who did fire. This cap shows the agent who fired beginning to draw - the front wheels of the vehicle clearly pointed in his direction....

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who shot and killed a Minneapolis woman was hit by her car in the episode. “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him,” Noem said. “He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he’s going to spend some time with his family.” She said there would be no pause in the Trump administration’s immigration actions in the city. Earlier in the day, outgoing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) railed against the Trump administration after an Immigration and...

1. The left is positively turgid about this INCIDENT. They wanted a shooting and did everything they could to set the conditions that made it inevitable, from the rhetoric of the Democrat politicians to the provocations on the street. One leftist white lady dead is a small price to pay for the martyr they wanted. 2. Note that yesterday (1/6/26), the Democrats changed from “The feds are the Gestapo” to “A zillion federal officers died defending Our Democracy, and we support these heroes- here’s a plaque!” back to “The feds are the Gestapo” the very next day. 3. The law...

...and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE....

Venture aloud that the new mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, might just have a touch of the communist about him, and you will run immediately into a wall of indignant pedantry. “He’s not a communist,” his apologists will insist. He’s a “communitarian.” Other preferred substitutions include “collectivist,” “Fabian,” “democratic socialist,” and, in the less intellectually inclined depths of the well, “just, like, someone who cares about other people.” Whatever. A commie by any other name still smells as foul. Besides, far more important than whether Mamdani wishes to be more closely associated with the Judean People’s Front or...

A federal judge gave a green light Tuesday to New York's so-called Green Light Law, rejecting the Trump administration's bid to stop the state from giving people driver's licenses without having them prove they are in the country legally. U.S. District Judge Anne M. Nardacci in Albany ruled that the Republican administration — which challenged the law under President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration — had failed to support its claims that the state law usurps federal law or that it unlawfully regulates or unlawfully discriminates against the federal government. The Justice Department sued the state over the law...

Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former senator and attorney general Robert F. Kennedy, vowed Friday she will “grab a pickax” and remove President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts the day he leaves office. “Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters of that building,” she posted on X and on her Instagram account.” She added, “But I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Apply for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job‼” […] Others besides Kerry Kennedy, including some...

Seventy-two-year-old Target employee Jeanie Beeman took to the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmFest in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday to thunderous applause. She even had a hug and a special moment with Erika Kirk, the widow of TPUSA’s slain co-founder Charlie Kirk. RedState brought you the story of out of Chico, California, where Jeanie was verbally harassed by — in the inestimable words of our Rusty Weiss — a “leftist shrew” who swore at her Wednesday, accusing her of being "f**king stupid" and supporting “a racist.” All of this because Jeanie had the temerity to wear a shirt honoring Charlie,...

The big lies of modern feminism have taken a huge toll on women, causing them confusion and frustration. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert recently reported that 75 percent of his patients cannot function because they are so triggered by President Donald Trump’s existence. Alpert didn’t specify what percentage of his patients are women, but numerous reports show that leftist women today are especially afflicted with mental illness, misery, and loneliness. Alpert explained that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” matches the clinical symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).[video at link] They can’t sleep. They can’t enjoy life. And yet some psychotherapists actually advise them to isolate...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., former chair of the Democratic National Committee, suggested Friday that President Donald Trump is to blame for the death of a member of the National Guard. Multiple left-wing commentators argued that the ambush-style shooting of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe Wednesday only happened because of Trump’s orders to station the National Guard in US cities. On Friday, as the nation was still reeling from the shooting, CNN host Sara Sidner spoke to Schultz about the tragic incident. The shooting, Schultz said, “begs the question, would an individual have flown across the...

In the grand theater of American decline, there are few characters so destructive as the Affluent White Female Liberal (AWFL), a suburban archetype with a Prius, a “Coexist” bumper sticker, and an unquenchable thirst for moral superiority. From the San Francisco Bay Area to the halls of Democrat power, these women, often secular, privileged, are kicking out the pillars upholding our society. Their hyper-liberal zeal promotes family breakdown, political alienation, cultural Marxism, and racial division, all while patting themselves on the back for “saving” the world. It would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous — the irony that the...
