Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 09, 2026

The killing of Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three and widow of a military veteran, tests that assumption. ICE, said Ellison, is all but telling people, "You want to defend your neighbors, you're going to do it at the risk of your own life.' I think that's the unmistakable message. Just looking at the tape, they could have said, You get out of here,' right? And then she gets out of there. They didn't want her to get out of there. They wanted to either drag her out of that car or do what they did. And it was all about teaching lessons."

That's what the MAGA elites are saying.

Time for the MAGA peons to fall in line.

How does that square with being an American? It doesn't.

New MAGA slogan "Be nice or get Iced."

Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it. We are very far up sheetz creek without a paddle:

Homeland Security's social media feed is an unending stream of demented propaganda and bellicose Christian nationalism. An image posted on New Year's Eve shows a classic car on an idyllic beach with the slogan, "America after 100 million deportations." Homeland Security has added the words, "The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world." One hundred million, it's important to note, is almost twice America's entire immigrant population. They are telegraphing the creation of a far-reaching police state.

In such a system, the relationship between every citizen and their government is transformed by the constant demand for submission. Since Good's death, Republicans have been lining up to threaten those who don't immediately comply with ICE's orders. "The bottom line is this: When a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep your life," Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas said on Newsmax.

And by 'federal officer' he now means Jackbooted Nazi Thug for Trump.

Please never get me wrong. I well understand that you are a block of fascist lead and are immune to both facts and morality.

I just feel the need to oppose you for as long as I have the legal right to do so freely. It seems important.

This isn't about law enforcement it's about Domination.

Ice is the SA. We are at the 1934 level of Nazism.

Normalizing Police Violence against Any Displays of Resistance to "State" policy, however small or isolated.

Making Spontanous Protests into a "Liberal plot" and Equating rational,peaceful, dissent with "Terrorism ".

All to forward the agenda of a Clich of Criminal Usurpers of the people's Perogatives.

This won't end peacefully. Trump and ICE are guaranteeing Violence.

Possibly at the State level as Trump is Targeting whole regions and State's for Oppressive and Discriminatory policies of Punishment and deprivation.

My honest opinion is we will have open Violence between the State's before this ends in Trump's Death.

He8 gonna a take a lot of people with him.

Our Entire system of Government is already in a Terminal Crisis.

The next three years are going to determine our future in Existential Terms as a,"Free" People.

If we Fail, like Germany in 1945, only Crushing Military Defeat from Outside will stop them.

War is what they want and War is what they'll get.

Who are the Allies going to be to Defeat MAGA?

Uh, she was a 37 year old white mother of three who just dropped off her six year old at daycare.

Renee Good's presence in that neighborhood is understandable.

ICE's presence is insertion and chaos.

The ICE simultaneous raid on Roosevelt High School three miles away is merely ramping it up.

"This is so upsetting," Carol said Thursday as she tearfully recounted what she had witnessed. "All these men, who were fully armed, suddenly jumped out of the SUVs and started running towards the school."

School was being dismissed at the time, and hundreds of students were walking out of the building, she said.

"Some of the teachers and school workers were trying to keep the Border Patrol away from the students, telling them to stay off school property," she said. "They just pushed [the teachers] away. I saw one teacher get tackled."

While that was going on, Carol said, dozens of neighborhood residents spilled out of their homes.

Thanks for the heads-up, here's what I've found POV BODYCAM footage from ICE Agent who shot US CITIZEN 159 views 6 minutes ago

She sounds soooo dangerous: "That's fine dude. I'm not mad, boy. Show your face."

"It's okay." the other person states.

"I'm not mad at you," says Renee calmly.

The other person "We don't change our plates every morning. Just so you know, it'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. That's fine. US citizen, former (I can't make out what division she may have claimed). You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say 'go get yourself some lunch,' big boy. Go ahead."

"Get out of the car." agent Ross instructs. You can see the beatiful dog in the back of the SUV. The other person tries to enter the passenger door.

"Get out of the ---- car!" Ross can see that the driver is turning her wheel.

Ross is a murderer. He wanted to kill these women and so executing one while aiming for both.

I'm uncertain if the dog is left alive.

Many of whom probably have, unironically, Gadsden flags or "don't tread on me" or "III percenter" type stuff on their vehicles, clothes ect.

Because in the end, they really didn't want lack of government intrusion into people's lives, they wanted lack of intrusion into their lives so they could act with impunity for their own self-interests.

I don't believe that. You are worth at least this reply:

Is her wheel being turned visible or not?

Before that, could you answer the question is the wheel is visibly being turned on the body cam?

Be honest

The sun would sooner set in the east than anyone supporting the execution of Reene Good being honest about anything.
