Sounds as though this was intended to be a social-media stunt (bold type added]: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Video appears to show hysterical, blood-covered wife of Renee Nicole Good, woman killed by ICE, crying out 'it's my fault' A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partner's killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows. The woman was filmed distraught and sobbing just steps from Good's wrecked car in Minneapolis Wednesday morning, as a neighbor who heard the commotion asked her what happened. "I made her come down here, it's my fault," the woman said through sobs. "They just shot my wife." [...] The woman who stated she was Good's wife was seen in numerous other clips from before and after the deadly incident. Just before the gunshots rang out, she was seen closely following federal agents and filming them. [...] https://nypost.com/2026/01/07/us-news/video-appears-to-show-hysterical-blood-covered-wife-of-renee-nicole-good-woman-killed-by-ice-crying-out-its-my-fault/

Perhaps if the politicians and talking heads would stop promoting the antagonism of ICE, and the civil disobedience that goes along with it, people wouldn't put themselves in these situations. It was bound to happen at some point, and everyone knew it, especially those pushing for these antagonistic actions. Condolences to her family, but had she followed orders, this would not have happened. Like Boiler says, FAFO.

What do you think of these proposed solutions? Do you see any drawbacks? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ U.S. Has Many Options on Greenland--Now Is the Time To Act [...] Since the Maduro operation, speculation has abounded as to whether the president will pursue further action under the rubric of "hemispheric defense," the traditional American strategic concept of fortifying key defensive nodes across the hemisphere. Greenland, which the president has long expressed interest in bringing closer to the United States, represents the most important and strategically necessary step in furthering America's hemispheric defense umbrella. And while President Trump has greatly advanced the conversation on Greenland's criticality to U.S. national security, he is not the first commander in chief to actively seek to acquire Greenland: Presidents from Andrew Johnson to Woodrow Wilson to Franklin Roosevelt to Dwight Eisenhower have all pursued acquisition of the world's largest island.

The Venezuela Effect: America's enemies won't be sleeping well for quite some time I can't stop laughing at all the Democrats hyperventilating about President Trump's Venezuela operation. I wish I could be more nuanced about this (and perhaps describe the potential pitfalls that lie ahead now that we have taken some "ownership" over the future welfare of the Venezuelan people), but when Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries (the so-called Democrat "leaders" in Congress) are fuming mad that America's Delta Force dropped into the most heavily fortified compound in Venezuela like invisible ninjas and plucked murderous thug Nicolás Maduro from his slumberous solitude in a matter of minutes, I can barely resist the urge to stand on top of a chair positioned atop my desk and applaud all the remarkable warriors who accomplished this mission. Consider how many tens of thousands [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/01/the_venezuela_effect.html

A post has been edited to amend scatological terms.

Certainly interesting, even fascinating. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who really owns Greenland? With President Trump's renewed push to obtain Greenland from Denmark back in the news, it's worth looking into the history of the place to understand who really owns it, given the unusual move from Washington. I live in Denmark, and know the place, so consider this backstory: Prior to the year 985 A.D., the Inuit peoples inhabited the island of Greenland and had done so for about 2,500 years. Then, in 985, the famous Norse Viking Erik the Red [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/01/who_really_owns_greenland.html

Thoughts, both of our own and specifically on this editorial? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Former Uvalde Cop Being Tried for Failing to Act in Tragic Shooting I have no interest in dying, but I don't know if I could live with myself if I were one of the officers who first responded to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and I did absolutely nothing, despite not just knowing the protocol for active shooters, but having the training to handle it. As we saw in Nashville, a swift, violent response to a school shooting can save a whole lot of lives. But in Uvalde, we saw the opposite of that. Now, one of the first officers to respond is going to trial for his failure to act.

Geez! ~~~~~ Trump Sends a Powerful Message by Snatching Rogue Oil Tanker Under the Nose of the Russian Navy Early Wednesday, U.S. Special Operations Forces, probably Navy SEALs, boarded and took control of a Russian-flagged supertanker in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Ireland, bringing to an end a nearly three-week melodrama. On December 21, the U.S. Coast Guard operating in the Caribbean as part of Operation Southern Spear attempted to board a "dark fleet" supertanker, M/T Bella 1, heading toward Venezuela; see Report: Coast Guard Now Targeting Another Sanctioned Oil Ship Off Venezuela – RedState. The ship's registration had expired, making it stateless. That didn't stop the ship from claiming Guyanese registration. The U.S. Treasury Department had sanctioned the vessel [...] https://redstate.com/streiff/2026/01/07/trump-sends-a-powerful-message-by-snatching-rogue-oil-tanker-under-the-nose-of-the-russian-navy-n2197887

Be sure to click the White House link. But... but... whatever will the International Lead and Zinc Study Group do without U.S. support?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump, Rubio Yank Support From 66 International Organizations That 'No Longer Serve American Interests' One of the things we've learned in Donald Trump's second term is just how much money and support we're giving to a seemingly endless list of organizations, NGOs, foreign governments, and think tanks that often don't even support what's best for America. Think, USAID, for starters. On Wednesday, the president withdrew support from a whopping 66 of them, saying they didn't further the American cause: [...] https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/01/07/trump-yanks-support-from-66-international-organizations-that-no-longer-serve-american-interests-n2197889

Wonder how long before the bloom is off his rose, even considering that he's currently a god?

And, almost without doubt, an AWFL.

Indeed. What an idiot. Exactly.

Different circumstances for different folks. If asked, answer simply with brief reasoning.

Misspelling in thread title has been corrected. The ICE agent was struck by the vehicle (per reverse-angle video). Justified shooting.

What a stuffed-shirt, clueless clown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mamdani Forced to Make Humiliating Admission After Pressed on 'Briefing' Claim About Maduro Capture [...] "I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City," Mamdani bizarrely tweeted at the time. "Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law." Mamdani's remarks left many perplexed, and social media mockery soon ensued. Why on earth would the Trump administration, especially members of the national security team, "brief" Mamdani on anything of this nature, let alone a top secret foreign operation - and especially one that involved taking one of Mamdani's powerful socialist comrades into custody? It sounded like a lie told by someone with a highly inflated sense of self-importance, and as it turns out, that's exactly what it was, as Mamdani was forced to admit during a presser this week when asked about it by a reporter: [...] https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/01/07/humiliation-for-zohran-mamdani-over-claim-of-briefing-on-venezulea-operation-n2197860

There ya go. What, you waited till the very end of the process to lose your nerve? Violent physical exercise is a great tonic and attitude-resetter.

Look at each reference. Note the earliest and latest estimates. Be pleased if your own case is handled by or before the earliest. If your case drags beyond the latest, consider involving your U.S. Congressman's office.

Done!
