The viral video from November 13, 2025, shows an ICE agent in Salem, Oregon, taking a U.S. citizen's wallet and keys during an immigration operation, then driving off and abandoning her car. Local police later received the items from agents and returned them. Community groups expressed outrage, calling for accountability, but no charges or lawsuits against the agent have been reported as of January 2026.

It bothers me to my core that lawmakers, elected leaders, and those who serve the public rushed to condemn law enforcement officers—without proof—the tragic death of Renee Nicole Good. Tragic, yes. But tragic for only one reason. She—and she alone—had dozens of chances to avoid her demise. As the newly released video footage now makes unmistakably clear—shown from multiple side angles and, tragically, from the body camera of the officer she struck—Renee Nicole Good put her vehicle in reverse, aimed it toward a uniformed officer, and stepped on the gas. That was her decision. No one forced it. No one...

Gold and silver prices are strongly up and both hit new record highs in early U.S. trading Monday. Risk aversion is significantly elevated in the marketplace to start the trading week, amid tumult in the Federal Reserve and civil unrest in Iran that are driving safe-haven demand to the precious metals markets. February gold was last up $98.30 at $4,599.30. March silver prices were up $4.849 at $84.205.

Iranian women have been defiantly lighting cigarettes with burning images of supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Smoking in women is seriously frowned upon in the Middle Eastern nation, while setting pictures of the country's leader on fire is against the law - making the move a bold act of protest. Videos and pictures showing women lighting their cigarettes with burning images of Khamenei have been trending on social media, with viewers hailing their resistance to state authority and social controls. In several images, the female protesters are also shown not wearing a hijab despite it being a mandatory requirement in Iran...

Places run by these kinds of Muslims are dark, backward places. Don't let it happen here. Palmer’s, a bar on Minneapolis’ West Bank, has been a fixture of the community it has served for 119 years. Locals even called it “the heart of the city” because it brought people together. It has now been permanently closed. It is to become a mosque. Islamist ideology bans alcohol, music, and dancing. Pork and dogs are considered dirty and are frowned upon at best. It is no wonder that most countries that are in the thrall of Islamism, and are populated by these...

Democrats mourn ‘insurrection’ on January 6, engage in insurrection on January 7. The ability of the Democrat Machine to rewrite its code at a moment’s notice is terrifying. What it supported yesterday, it will denounce tomorrow when politically expedient. Right now we’re seeing a perfect example in the way prominent Democrats are reacting to federal agents enforcing immigration law. On January 6, congressional Democrats choreographed an almost religious ritual (including a candlelit ceremony) during which they framed the D.C. protest of election fraud five years ago as an “insurrection” that resulted in the “murder” of police officers (reminder: only Trump...

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters." Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability." "From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote. He continued, "Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after...

KENOSHA, Wis. — A dog was fatally shot after it attacked multiple people Saturday night, the Kenosha Police Department reported on Tuesday. The police and fire departments responded to the 6100 block of 18th Avenue at around 9 p.m. and learned about a dog biting a 36-year-old woman. While family members, officers, and fire personnel were gathered outside the home, the dog escaped and attacked multiple individuals, including members of the Kenosha Fire Department. A police officer, who has four years of law enforcement experience, discharged his firearm, fatally wounding the animal. The dog was actively and aggressively attacking and...

A federal judge blocked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's effort to intervene in the sale of thousands of rent-stabilized rental properties on Thursday. Mamdani's administration had sought to slow the sale of the properties after tenants complained that the seller, Pinnacle Group, had poorly maintained the properties and were concerned that the prospective buyer, Summit Properties USA, would have similar issues. Mamdani's administration attempted to intervene on the basis of being a creditor to Pinnacle. The company owes the city over $12 million in unpaid fines, according to Gothamist. Bankruptcy Judge David Jones rejected Mamdani's effort, however, setting back...

There seems to be a bit of confusion in our society of late about what "civil disobedience" is and what it isn’t. Last week, this very confusion got 37-year-old Renee Good killed. Political protest in the form of civil disobedience has a long and very proud tradition, from Mahatma Gandhi nonviolently defying the British in India, to our own Martin Luther King Jr. penning his eloquence from a Birmingham jail cell. There is a stoic dignity to this practice, which in and of itself grants the words of its practitioners a gravity and profound humility. What we are seeing across...

Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn noted that Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings was well, triggered by the ICE-agent shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis. "The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028," Jennings wrote. For someone who claims to believe in democracy, calling the currently elected administration a "regime" is an interesting choice of words.

After denouncing un-PC comics like Ricky Gervais, Rosie Jones has presented her advice on ‘how to joke responsibly’. Pay attention, bigots --------- Rosie Jones spoke about her concerns regarding jokes made about transgender people by some well-known comedians. She said she was frustrated by what she described as “privileged cis white straight men” making jokes about “the trans community”, and named Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr in particular. Jones said: “It’s your Ricky Gervaises and Jimmy Carrs… To those boys, I’d say, with respect, shut the f— up.” She argued that comedians who do not share the experiences of the...

Nick Sortor in his truck with Cam Higby got into it with protestors in Minneapolis. Mercado media was there allegedly threatning Nick. There was also some physical altercations.

There’s something in the water in Minnesota & ICE Agents have had enough. Leftist Activists were harassing ICE and interfering with Federal business. The agents told them to get out of their cars because they were under arrest. They refused. The agents then smashed the windows, pulled them out of their cars, and arrested them. What are these people thinking? Also, an immigrant man who was in ICE custody twice (once for 2 weeks and once for 7 months) tells about his experience being held by ICE, why these protests are pointless, and what people in ICE custody actually need....

U.S. — According to sources, an exhausted nation was wishing Minnesota would just be normal for, like, five minutes. Insiders revealed that every sane person in America had grown tired of Minnesota being unable to go more than a few seconds without some type of bizarre scandal or horrific incident. "Please," said one American citizen. "We're tired. Please just be normal, Minnesota. Please, we beg you." Experts were reportedly stumped as to what Minnesota's major problem is or how it got so bad. "Yeah, it beats me," said Dr. Harold Beeker, an expert on states. "Minnesota is kinda insane right...

“Let’s get down to business: We’ll start the bidding for Warner Bros at $5.
