In a chilling move, the UK government has rolled out a taxpayer-funded video game that paints every curious teenager as a far-right extremist. The "Pathways" game, backed by the Home Office's Prevent counter-terrorism program threatens young players with referrals to anti-terror experts simply for questioning unchecked mass migration or engaging with online debates about British identity. (snip) Players guide a character named "Charlie" -- using "they" pronouns" through everyday scenarios that quickly spiral into warnings of extremism.
Newly surfaced video appears to show Renee Nicole Good blocking ICE agents with her SUV for more than three minutes before she was fatally shot during a Minneapolis immigration operation.
The 3½-minute clip, posted on X Saturday, was shot from high up and shows Good’s vehicle stopped diagonally across the street, obstructing one lane of traffic.
Her horn blares continuously as she rocks side to side in the driver’s seat, behavior one X user described as “dancing.” [Tweet, video]
The video was filmed from across the street and captures the minutes before the fatal encounter, as federal agents slowly approach the SUV while bystanders yell and whistle nearby.

Minnesota’s tough-talking tag team was expected to be “livid” after riling up rioters justified in surging assets into the Twin Cities for the twofold task of immigration enforcement and investigating fraud.
Following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer’s use of deadly force in self-defense against an activist driving her vehicle at him, seething leftists had intensified their calls for federal officials to leave.
Now, despite Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) joining in the gnashing of teeth, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced additional forces amounting to a 50% increase in presence on the ground.
Immigration enforcement elsewhere in Minnesota was met with equally unhinged leftists, as one “Radical left extremist Karen” in particular recorded her own meltdown.
“They are taking these men unlawfully!”
A focal point for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity, even before an anti-ICE activist’s actions allegedly prompted an officer to shoot her in self-defense, prompting violent protests, fraud investigations have sent federal officers surging to Minnesota.
Amid the crackdown, one illegal alien-defending busybody found herself cracking up in a desperate attempt to intercede by flirting with interference in an active traffic stop.
“Another abduction. Don’t shoot us. Don’t murder us,” the woman could be heard shouting between blares of her car horn
Just as Nick Sandmann successfully sued multiple media outlets for falsely smearing him as a racist… Just as President Trump successfully sued several fake media outlets for defamation… The Minneapolis ICE agent forced to kill a woman in an obvious act of self-defense must file a defamation suit against every media outlet that allowed itself to be used as a platform to call him a murderer, as well as every Democrat and activist who defamed this man.
Multiple videos prove this ICE agent had no choice but to fire in self-defense at Renee Good, a crazed, left-wing, anti-ICE activist who aimed her SUV at him and hit the gas.
On the heels of one ICE protester claiming it is time to “show up with guns and end this,” a self-declared antifa activist says we have the Second Amendment to fight “occupation.”
In a video, posted by I Meme Therefore I am, “Kyle” says, “We are under occupation, and this what the Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment for.” [Tweet, video]
On January 9, 2026, Breitbart News reported on an ICE protester who was interviewed about Wednesday’s ICE-involved shooting and said, “We have to show up with guns and end this.”
The protester accused ICE of shooting people “with no cause”
New York City's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani ran on a platform of making things "free" and "affordable." That was a lie, of course. He has no authority to, for example, make the city's buses and subways "free" for commuters. In fact, a few days after he took office, the subway fare climbed to $3 per ride.
He also thinks he can make World Cup tickets "available to all New Yorkers," because — like all socialists — he has no idea how the real world actually work.
But his most nefarious plans come from housing. He and his housing/tenant advisor Cea Weaver, hate private property (yours, not theirs, of course)
An arrest has been made after a fire heavily damaged Mississippi’s largest synagogue in a pre-dawn blaze early Saturday morning.
Mississippi Today reports the historic Jewish place of worship in northeast Jackson is the same one the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights.
The outlet notes the Jackson Fire Department, the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested a suspect Saturday night in the latest blaze after the fire department ruled it arson, according to chief fire investigator Charles Felton.
The name of the suspect or the charges the person could face have not been released. No motive has been publicly notified.
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had been acting inhumanely and illegally.
Murphy said, “There have already been over a dozen shootings all across our country by ICE officers. The bottom line is that the way in which DHS is conducting itself today is making our communities less safe. It’s not adding to public safety.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “You posted online earlier this week, quote, Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency. You obviously know government funding runs out in less than three weeks.
The Trump administration’s decision to create a new Justice Department fraud division with a Senate-confirmed assistant attorney general has the right instinct and the right execution. Targeting fraud as a national priority is overdue. The structure of this new office will add clarity and independence to a section of crimes that often gets overlooked.
According to reports, the administration plans to install a new fraud chief with “nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud,” operated directly out of the White House. That is not a small detail. It will help the Justice Department,
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Story Is,” CNN Law Enforcement Contributor Steve Moore stated that the new video of the shooting by ICE in Minneapolis “leads me to believe that this was likely a legally justified shooting” and while he wasn’t ready to say whether or not the shooting was a justified shooting before the video, he now believes “a reasonable investigation will find that the officer was within the deadly force policy.”Moore said, “Up until this point, I wasn’t absolutely ready to come out and say that this, in my opinion, was probably a good shoot or not a good shoot.
A Bronx apartment building Mayor Mamdani showcased to highlight the talents of his new housing commissioner, Dina Levy, has racked up nearly 200 unresolved violations, The Post has learned.
The 102-unit building at 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in Morris Heights as of Saturday had a staggering 194 open housing-code violations dating back to 2016 — including 88 “Class C” violations considered “immediately hazardous.”
They included rat and roach infestation; broken doors and refrigerators; and mold, records show.
Mamdani visited the affordable-housing complex best known for being the birthplace of hip-hop on Jan. 4 to introduce Levy, 54,
A federal judge has ordered the empanelment of a new federal grand jury following a motion from the U.S. Attorney's Office, according to court records.
The grand jury is set to meet on Jan. 12 in Fort Pierce, Fla., following an order that Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued on Sept. 26, 2025.

President Trump has kept his promise to seal the border upon resuming office in January of 2025. Illegal crossings are down significantly.
Four years of open borders under Biden resulted in millions of illegals entering the United States with no vetting or accountability whatsoever.
The result is a continuous pursuit of illegal aliens by law enforcement agencies such as ICE. There are also state agencies, such as the Texas DPS, which have worked with the Border Patrol to protect Americans from illegal alien criminals.
When protesters flood Iran’s streets demanding freedom, who benefits from convincing the world they’re chanting for a new Shah? As a fourth major uprising erupts across the country, a familiar deception is underway—one where the clerical regime and its supposed nemesis, Reza Pahlavi, share a common interest: erasing the democratic alternative from the narrative.
Protests began last weekend when shopkeepers and bazaar merchants launched an impromptu strike against an economic crisis that pushed inflation above 42 percent. Within days, demonstrations spread to universities and dozens of cities, with protesters explicitly calling for regime change.
We’ve seen this before. Just over three years ago,
During the period of the Scottish Enlightenment, the study of government and constitutions was undertaken as a cultural phenomenon, even as the fascinating ruins and relics of ancient societies were being unearthed in Italy and Greece. One scholar, Alexander Fraser Tytler, devoted his life to the study of the life span of history’s democracies, forming a theory based on the evidence: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.”
In the United States, up until 1913, a federal budget was created by the representatives of the states in Congress,
The two key guidelines that have most impacted American food policy (and public health) for nearly 50 years were to limit total fat to no more than 30% and saturated fat to no more than 10% of calorie intake. These restrictions were set because it was thought that fat caused heart disease (in middle aged men). My PhD examined the evidence for those guidelines and the beliefs upon which they were based and found that they should not have been introduced – then or now. Other research teams have found the same.
There are three macronutrients: fat, protein and carbs.

Something being exposed with these stand-offs between federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and city law enforcement agencies is the incompetent activists who lead them. Look at Portland Police Bureau Chief Bob Day, who my colleague Rusty Weiss just revealed held back in disclosing the facts behind the Portland shooting of two Tren de Aragua connected illegals by Border Patrol, precipitating the dissemination of a fake narrative and escalating further chaos in his city. Then there is Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, who instructed his residents to call 911 on ICE agents.
While the news media is focused on the anti-ICE protests happening in Minnesota, there was another protest happening on the west coast that did not get nearly as much attention.
The people of the Pacific Palisades held a protest to speak out against the non-existent rebuilding in the area, a full year after wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.
The people there are demanding an end to red tape, fees, and other things standing in the way of recovery, as well as the leaders who are not doing their jobs.
The national media doesn’t want to cover this because the leaders in question are Democrats.

PBS confirmed the cancellation in a post on X, stating: “Due to federal budget cuts, PBS News had to make the difficult decision to rework our staffing and programming. This Sunday, our PBS News Weekend team will sign off the air.”
The announcement follows the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) voting to dissolve itself on January 5, 2026, completing a shutdown process that began after the rescission of federal funding triggered by a May 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump and a $9 billion rescissions package passed by Congress in mid-2025. CPB President Patricia Harrison said,
Border Czar Tom Homan sounded the alarm Friday after revealing that the ICE agent involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Good is now receiving death threats after being doxxed, with credible fears for the safety of both himself and his family.
Homan made the chilling disclosure during an interview on The Dr. Phil Podcast hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw, where he forcefully pushed back against Democrats and local officials who have rushed to brand the shooting a “murder” before any investigation has concluded.
The incident occurred during a chaotic, hostile protest in Minneapolis, when the ICE agent made a split-second decision
Paramount Skydance has now initiated what insiders are calling “Plan D” as they look to upend Netflix’s “winning” bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, The Post has learned.
It involves banging home to investors the immense amount of regulatory uncertainty involved in the Netflix deal and how that could spell trouble not just for the transaction but for Netflix itself, say sources close to the talks.
Plan A, of course, was trying to convince WBD CEO David Zaslav and his board led by Samuel DiPiazza that its $30-a-share, all-cash offer for the entire company was superior to Netflix’s $27.75 cash-and-stock deal for the Warner Bros. studio and HBO Max streaming service.
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing preliminary plans for an attack on Iran, including the option of large-scale airstrikes.
Officials are considering how to follow through on President Trump’s recent elevated threats against the Islamic Republic, including what sites might be targeted, insiders told the Wall Street Journal.
A massive aerial strike campaign on multiple Iranian military targets is one option being considered — although Washington has not reached consensus on a plan of action.No military equipment or personnel have been moved for a potential attack, the insiders said.

Fun fact: A little-known 300-acre island in the Delaware River with a grand vista of Philadelphia is currently controlled by Venezuela.
Petty’s Island has been owned by Citgo Petroleum Corp., an arm of Venezuela’s national oil company, for decades — but recent international events and a court ruling have paved the way for investor and conservative donor Paul Singer’s Elliott Investment Management to take it over, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
A federal judge in November approved Elliot affiliate Amber Energy’s $5.9 billion bid to buy Citgo’s Venezuelan parent company Petróleos de Venezuela, through a sale of shares to settle billions in debts.
