  • DAVID MARCUS: Impeding federal law enforcement is not protest, it's just crime

    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...

    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...

    It has been a week since the Kansas City Chiefs played their final game of the NFL season, and we still do not know if legendary tight end Travis Kelce is calling it quits after 13 seasons. Following the game, Kelce opened up with raw honesty when asked if he was going to continue playing, saying it was different than last year's Super Bowl loss, where he knew immediately that he would be back. Instead, he answered that he didn't know what his future held, as Kelce mentioned that the decision could come quickly to him or take some time...

    In an undated post regarding admissions to graduate arts and sciences programs for the 2026–27 academic year, Boston University indicated that the history of art and architecture program was not admitting candidates, along with American studies, anthropology, religion, and romance studies programs. In November 2024, meanwhile, the school had already indicated that its department of the history of art and architecture would not accept Ph.D. students for the next academic year, according to a report from Inside Higher Education. In an email obtained by the publication, the heads of the College of Arts and Sciences, which includes the art history...

    A Ukrainian family in California says Child Welfare removed their teenage daughter from their home and placed them on the child abuse registry after they declined to “affirm” her transgender identity. Speaking to Reduxx under the condition of anonymity, the parents say the removal followed a report filed by their daughter’s psychiatrist without their knowledge. The mother, who will be referred to as Ellie, told Reduxx that a social worker from Shasta County Child Welfare Services arrived at the family’s home on June 3, 2024, without prior notice. According to Ellie, the worker accused the parents of emotional abuse and...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | January 11, 2026 | Cullen Linebarger
    A loony, anti-ICE protester was left with a nasty taste in her mouth last week after deciding to harass federal agents following last week’s ICE self-defense shooting in Minneapolis. As The Gateway Pundit reported, chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis. Video posted to X shows the moment an unhinged female was shot as she carried out her act of violence. Additional footage clearly shows that an ICE officer was in danger of being run over as Good accelerated. However, something humorous and satisfying has emerged from this unfortunate...

    Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman appears to have donated $10,000 to a fundraiser in support of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good. William Ackman is listed as the top donor to a GoFundMe for Ross, which has already raised more than $160,000. Ackman also reposted the fundraiser on X. Ross has been embroiled in controversy since he shot Good, 37, in the face three times at a Minneapolis protest on Wednesday after she refused demands to exit her vehicle. ICE claimed that trouble arose after the mother-of-three deliberately tried to run Ross over with her burgundy...

    The Illinois Republican Party has blasted as "divisive" the hiring language the Obama Foundation is using for the Obama Presidential Center, arguing it shows the privately run project is using public land to advance a political agenda. The Obama Foundation, which is developing the hotly debated center on Chicago’s South Side, recently advertised roughly 150 jobs at the facility, stating that successful applicants are expected to align with the foundation’s "anti-racism" goals. "It’s an Illinois Democrat tradition to insert divisive, far-left policies into the lives of everyday Americans and to balk at the rule of law," Illinois Republican Party Chair...
