When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn’t the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there’s plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.

Greenlanders are using Donald Trump’s threats to take the world’s biggest island by force to push for independence from Denmark.
The Arctic territory’s main opposition party has described the current situation a “window of opportunity”, claiming that Mr Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland could help accelerate a breakaway.
Juno Berthelsen, an MP and foreign policy spokesman for the leading opposition party Naleraq, said: “We’ve been seeking independence for many years now, and there’s a window of opportunity here for us, where we could actually go into a dialogue about concrete steps we can take to better Greenlandic people’s lives.”
Donald Trump is considering sending money directly to residents of Greenland as part of his plotted land grab of the Arctic island.
White House officials are discussing a range of options between $10,000 and $100,000 per person to bribe them to let the US take control, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The population of Greenland sits somewhere around 56,000 and it currently remains a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. This means that on the higher end the US could end up paying Greenland residents $5.6 billion should the bribes be massively accepted.
Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left.
In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to mobilize to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.”
U.S. President Donald Trump’s increasingly bellicose stance on taking over Greenland and the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro are combining to trigger questions and theories about what the White House may have in mind for Canada.
The Trump administration’s moves come on the heels of its vow to “reassert and enforce” American pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere, spelled out officially in a new national security strategy.
In justifying his desire to ‘take’ Greenland, Donald Trump effectively dismissed Europe’s militaristic capabilities, saying—in capitals, of course—“I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM.”
Washington insists it needs the island for security, an issue which it clearly doesn’t trust Europe to keep a handle on, and is currently not ruling out military intervention.
Europe’s continued release of statements in support of Denmark’s control of Greenland comes in spite of the fact leaders would rather the matter was settled by others, suggesting that they are well aware of their own weaknesses.
Here’s why Trump NEEDS Greenland:
He isn’t building an “empire.” He’s gathering a new Allied Powers against an Axis of China, Russia, Iran, and possibly – if they don’t CHANGE THEIR WAYS – a nuclear-armed Islamist caliphate called Europe.
NATO is already useless. If Denmark… pic.twitter.com/44wHmAjTNY

More … Greenland should hold talks with the US without Denmark, opposition leader says
COPENHAGEN, Jan 8 (Reuters) – Greenland should hold direct talks with the U.S. government without Denmark, a Greenlandic opposition leader told Reuters, as the Arctic island weighs how to respond to President Donald Trump’s renewed push to bring it under U.S. control.
Federal agents allegedly shot two people in Oregon Thursday afternoon – just one day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent gunned down anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota during a chaotic caught-on-camera operation, according to cops.
An unidentified man and woman were both found with gunshot wounds near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street in Portland around 2:20 p.m. local time, after the man called authorities for help, according to the Portland Police Department.

Details are a bit sketchy
In the middle of the night on Jan. 3, my WhatsApp lit up with hundreds of messages, videos and reports describing unfolding events in Caracas and other cities throughout Venezuela. Confusion gave way to elation when the news finally broke: Nicolás Maduro was in U.S. custody.
President Trump suggested Wednesday that the US will oversee Venezuela for at least a year following the Jan. 3 arrest of the South American country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, on federal drug and weapons charges.
“We will rebuild it in a very profitable way,” Trump told the New York Times in a lengthy interview. “We’re going to be using oil, and we’re going to be taking oil. We’re getting oil prices down, and we’re going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need.”
The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the UN’s population agency and the UN treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the U.S. further retreats from global co-operation.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending support for 66 organizations, agencies and commissions following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House statement on social media.
Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labour and other issues that the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives.
The CBC is shocked. I wish we had a party willing to take similar action.
“Thucydides warned that “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” Carney’s tragedy is that he quotes the rules‑based order while presiding over a country whose economic structure is colonial and whose security ultimately depends on the very power he is theatrically chastising. Posturing without power is not prudence. It is provocation without a plan. And yes it’s dangerous.”

Carney may not be working with Trump but he certainly isn’t working for us.
Canada never had an equivalent of Uncle Sam, sternly exhorting its citizens to sign up to fight for their country. That is changing. Jennie Carignan, Canada’s top soldier, is looking for Canadians—whether they are 16 or 65—who will come to their country’s aid in the event of a military attack or calamitous natural disaster. “We’re going to need heavy-equipment operators,” says General Carignan. “We’re going to need drone operators. We’re going to potentially need cyber operators as well.” Call her Aunt Jennie.
There is no direct line between her plan for a 400,000-strong civilian-defence force and Donald Trump plucking Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro, from his safe house in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, on January 3rd. But nor is the timing entirely coincidental. In the past year Mr Trump has repeatedly asserted that it would be in Canada’s interest to become America’s 51st state. No one in a position of responsibility really believes the United States would ever invade. Even Mr Trump himself, when asked whether he would use military force to annex Canada, has said “no”, or that it is “very unlikely”.
Danish soldiers will be required to shoot first and ask questions later if the United States invades Greenland, under the army’s rules of engagement.
On Wednesday, the Danish defence ministry confirmed the existence of a 1952 rule requiring soldiers to “immediately” counter-attack invading forces without awaiting orders.
The defence ministry also said that the rule “remains in force” when asked about its status by Berlingske, a centre-Right Danish newspaper.
The Minneapolis woman shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a deadly confrontation Wednesday likely committed a serious felony offense — even if she did not intend to ram the federal officer with her vehicle, according to a former federal prosecutor and legal scholar.
Andrew C. McCarthy, the former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York, noted that to him, video footage of the events leading up to the shooting does not appear to show Renee Nicole Good, 37, trying to intentionally run over the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots.

Ottawa, Washington, and the world are eagerly awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on some of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Tariffs have been among the key measures Trump has used to reshape U.S. international relations since his second election, often wielding them, or the threat of them, for trade leverage or broader geopolitical aims.
