Crystal-clear new footage shows the moments leading up to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, filmed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot her. Good, 37, could be seen smiling at Jonathan 'Jon' Ross while sitting in her Honda Pilot on Wednesday afternoon and saying, 'That's fine dude. I'm not mad,' in a video shot by the officer that was obtained by Minnesota outlet Alpha News. Her wife, Rebecca Good, 40, could be heard urging the agent to 'show his face' as she asks him, 'You want to come at us?' 'You want to come at us?...

911 heard MULTIPLE DEATH THREATS directed at me by a mob, MPD pretended for 20 MINUTES that they were responding Then they told me I was on my own, and HUNG UP This city needs to be taken under FEDERAL CONTROL After about two minutes on scene, my security began wanting to bring me out of there due to the immediate threats of violence. I tried to shorten this video as much as possible but it’s tough given all the BS that unfolded. As soon as I dialed 911, one of the leftist screamed “Minneapolis Police are on OUR side!”...

‘I truly believe humor is a tool. It’s a tool that helps people release emotional tension, a tool that helps people feel safe. Very often, when someone tells me a joke or makes me laugh, even about something very small, it feels like a gesture – like they’ve seen me and said, ‘I want to make you feel a little better,’” said Zohar Shahar, one of the co-directors of Bella, a very funny and audacious new Israeli comedy, with a touch of drama, that dares to find laughs in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It opened in theaters around the country on...

@amuse@amusePOLITICAL VIOLENCE: Trained ICE Watch activists in Portland were seen trapping ICE agents in their vehicles while calling for backup. Citizens cannot take the law into their own hands or obstruct federal officers.ransomnote: In the video, a woman manuevers her car to box in another vehicle driven by an I.C.E. agent. As she continues to manuever, and the I.C.E. vehicle also manuevers, she says, "We can play, my car is bigger than yours." After more manuevering, she opens her car door and yells, "I.C.E.! It's I.C.E.! Please help me record! Get behind them if you have a car! If you...

'I am filled with remorse and repentance, and I have nothing to stand on except God’s mercy and grace,' Philip Yancey notedChristian author Philip Yancey, who has been married for more than five decades, confessed to engaging in a multi-year affair, telling Christianity Today in a statement that he had "disqualified" himself from ministry. Yancey did not mince words or seek to defend the affair — he acknowledged the sinfulness of his behavior and the devastating consequences of his actions.

MAHA Action@MAHA_Action·Jan 8Dr. Marty Makary says the creators of the old food pyramid hid the truth about saturated fats.“The propagators of this dogma tried to prove their theory correct.”“In the 1960s, the colleagues of Ansel Keys tried to do the end-all study to prove saturated fat caused our health problems.”“The low-fat group had higher rates of coronary heart disease and heart attacks.”“The opposite of what they expected.”“They suppressed the data for 16 years.”“When you avoid fat, you end up with ultra-processed carbohydrates and sugar.”“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, burdened with ultra-processed foods.”“Those...

The riots that are likely to erupt in Minneapolis will have nothing to do with the death of a woman who was involved in an altercation with ICE officers. Her death will be the excuse that Marxists use to try and burn down the United States. We’ve been here before. After Martin Luther King was assassinated in April 1968, more than 1,200 buildings in Washington, D.C.were burned. The cost was almost $25 million. The mayhem was caused by Marxist radicals. Near the end of his book Ten Blocks From the White House, Washington Post reporter Ben Gilbert - a black...

Mister President,Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America.

May you accept these words of mine as the “voice of one crying out in the desert” (Jn 1:23).As I said when I wrote my letter to you in June, this...

(NewsNation) — Word in Los Angeles is that former VP Kamala Harris and her hubby, legal eagle Doug Emhoff, are done with Brentwood. A well-placed source in LA told me the two have dropped $10 million on a house in Malibu, near Zuma Beach. ”He bills $2,000 an hour (as a lawyer), and she has a best-selling book and is making a lot of money for speaking engagements,” my source said. “They can afford it.”

Journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher recounted Monday how Vice President Kamala Harris scolded her in front of an audience over a question about Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) RFK Jr. that she previously laughed about backstage when the journalist brought it up. "I just had an experience with Kamala Harris where we were joking about something backstage about Robert Kennedy Jr., circumcision and autism — the link he was making, a link which is not there. And it was so weird. It was like, ‘That’s so f------ strange.’ And then when I got on stage and mentioned it...

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)...

Dilbert creator Scott Adams warned that his Thursday podcast might be his last. Adams opened his podcast explaining how he’s now having difficulty staying awake, and that his exhaustion and slurred voice have nothing to do with any medication. “Today’s going to be a tough one,” he said. “Because I fell asleep about five times just getting ready” for the show. Adams announced his prostate cancer diagnosis last May, and that the cancer had already “spread to my bones.” At the time, he wasn’t certain he would last the summer. He did. But earlier this month, he announced his chances...

President Donald Trump ordered the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, toppling a brutal totalitarian regime. But he's only getting started. The Babylon Bee consulted with experts at the FBI, CIA, NSA, and DMV to compile the following list of who Trump is planning to arrest next: Tim Walz: He just declared war on the federal government, which is more than Maduro ever did. Kathleen Kennedy: It's time for her oppressive rule over Lucasfilm to end. Travis Kelce: It may be the only way to save him from Taylor Swift. Ariana Grande: At least as a prisoner, she'll be forced...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the agents involved were Border Patrol personnel conducting operations related to a Venezuelan national involved in a recent shooting in Portland. According to DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin, the driver of the car “weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over” the agents, prompting one of them to fire defensive shots out of fear for his life. When agents identified themselves to...

Machaela Cavanaugh was shown on Capitol security footage taking down portraits from an exhibit celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.
