They got their martyr. Yesterday afternoon a woman, 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good, was trying to block ICE agents in Minneapolis with her SUV and was told to get out of her car for arrest. Instead, she accelerated away, attempting to evade arrest, striking two ICE agents with the car. One of the agents fired three shots, one through the open drivers window, and the other through the windshield, killing the woman. At Reason, ICE Shoots and Kills Woman in Minneapolis.

@amuse @amuse, "INSURRECTION? Gov Walz revealed that 7,800 National Guard troops are in training for a possible deployment and has sent out a warning notice preparing troops that may be deployed against federal immigration agents. A governor preparing state troops against federal law enforcement is a red line. Walz made sure to make it clear he hasn't made a final decision on deploying troops too the streets of Minneapolis. Walz has accused the ICE agent who was attacked by a Democrat activist of murder." Ace, Tim Walz Activates National Guard -- Hinting He'll Use It to Fight FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. At Althouse, "Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said the National Guard is ready to deploy if riots break out, something he was too slow to do after George Floyd’s murder in 2020." "But he pleaded with protesters to remain peaceful. 'They want a show,' he said. 'We can’t give it to them.' Walz is right that Trump could use unrest to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy U.S. troops to Minnesota. (A recent defeat at the Supreme Court otherwise limited his authority to commandeer the National Guard.) The president posted on social media: 'We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!'... Before the shooting, Walz described the federal enforcement surge as 'a war that’s being waged against Minnesota.' After the incident, MAGA allies quickly sought to blame Walz’s rhetoric, including his previous comparison of ICE to the Gestapo, for raising tensions...." Writes the Editorial Board of The Washington Post, in "The woman fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis did not deserve to die Rioting in response to fatal shooting plays into Trump’s hands.""

At Althouse, "In a wide-ranging conversation with four Times reporters, President Trump talked about the Minneapolis ICE shooting, immigration, Venezuela and even his plans for further White House renovations." "I see "Trump Sits Down With Times Reporters for Two-Hour Interview," the headline in the NYT. . . . The first bit is: "We Pressed Trump on His Conclusion About the ICE Shooting. Here’s What He Said. The exchange was a glimpse into the president’s reflexive defense of his federal crackdown on immigration." It could have been a much more reflexive defense of the ICE agents. His first take was balanced: "I want to see nobody get shot. I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either." And later, he says: "She behaved horribly. And then she ran him over. She didn’t try to run him over" — I would say that's a reflexive defense of the woman. How does he know she didn't try to run the agent over? Also, the NYT writes "When we pressed Mr. Trump on his conclusion that the victim, Renee Nicole Good, tried to run over the agent," but technically, the first quote is not a statement that she tried to run anyone over. It's a distanced, abstract statement: "I want to see nobody get shot. I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either." I'm not seeing the follow-up question quoted, but I think it shouldn't have been "Why are you concluding that Good tried to run over the agent?" but "Are you saying you've determined that Good tried to run over the agent?" [Or better, to avoid ambiguity: "Are you saying you've determined that Good intended to run over the agent?"]"

Driscoll at Insty says HMMM: Trump’s capture of Russian oil tanker sets a perilous precedent. "The dramatic seizure of two Russian-linked oil tankers by American forces throws up complicated legal questions as well as the risk of reprisals, experts have warned. The US Coast Guard on Wednesday swooped on two vessels it had been pursuing for weeks over alleged breaches of the naval blockade imposed on Venezuela." Intelschizo @Schizointel, "Really good point. The United Kingdom had withdrawn some intelligence sharing due to legal concerns of US operations in the Caribbean. The fact that they changed their policy here does indicate that something important is on this vessel and the intelligence that the United Kingdom has is high enough confidence for them to act and that they have justifications to defend their assistance. This is in conjunction with the Russian Navy attempting to protect it by sending an attack submarine and a surface combatant to protect the vessel. Whatever or whomever is on that ship. The Iranians didn't want us to know the Russians don't want us to find out and it was damning enough that the United Kingdom changed its policy position." Ace, Two Venezuela-Linked "Dark Fleet" Ships Change Their Registrations Mid-Cruise to Russian In the Belief That This Will Protect Them from Trump; But Trump Gives No Effs and Seizes Them "Russia actually sent an attack sub to protect one of the terrorist oil smuggling ships. Plus it suddenly hoisted a Russian flag and declared itself a Russian ship. Russia was part of this, because they approved the re-flagging of the ship without any of the normal steps required. They thought Trump would be a-scared to seize a Russian-flagged terror ship. WRONG! Oh, and then they seized another one."
Nicole Russell at USA Today, So now Democrats are mad that Trump ousted a dictator? Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes, "HOLY CR*P Heritage Foundation exposes Hugo Chavez was working with Nicolas Maduro to fund political decent in America, and provided the money TO START BLACK LIVES MATTER Hugo Chavez gave one of the founders of Black Lives Matter a million dollars FOR STREET PROTESTS IN AMERICA After receiving the money, just months later BLM was founded and started creating unrest in America BLM directly works with Democrats, even using their ActBlue That means the regimes in Cuba and Venezuela worked with Democrat operatives and organizations to fund chaos and protests in America. INSANE. The Democrat Party is literally working to bring down America." ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena, "This is correct. There is a very big difference between the "very online right" and the people who decide elections. It is something I have been shouting in the wind on X for over a decade about the very online left when they dominated this site." Quote Brad Todd @BradOnMessage "The Kabul debacle started the death spiral in Biden’s approval ratings. The smashing success in Caracas can be the springboard for President Trump’s numbers. He should ignore the ambivalent noise from the online right & push ahead to new elections & a new ally in Venezuela."

While many worthy nonprofits did receive grants that were used to support victims, this report provides lessons for the disbursement of any remaining FireAid funds and future charitable disaster-relief efforts."

Driscoll at Insty cites BYRON YORK: Jack Smith reveals Jan. 6 committee charade. RealRobert @Real_RobN. "Here it is: Ten years in the making! The United States Press Secretary, Karoline Claire Leavitt: “Now, nearly ten years later, thanks to the declassification of documents by the Director of National Intelligence, @DNIGabbard, the truth has finally come to light—and it vindicates President Trump and his family. Barack Hussein Obama attempted to overthrow the United States government in 2016, the sitting president in 2017 as part of a ‘seditious conspiracy,’ overthrew it in 2020 to cover it up—and now he’s been caught.” @PressSec: “While pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, in private Barack Hussein Obama went to great and nefarious lengths to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump. The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence confirms that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence, which was later used as justification for baseless smears against President Trump—an effort to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office. The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and the Russia-collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetrated on the American people from the very beginning. The worst part is that Obama knew the truth, as did all the other corrupt officials involved in the scam, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others.”"
