Whether we realize it or not, we all have a tendency to assume that “nothing ever happens.” That’s the zoomer way of referring to a well-known phenomenon called “normalcy bias.” Essentially, most people generally believe that life, as we know it, will continue, in more or less the same way, for the rest of our lives. We’ll learn about major, civilization-defining events in world history — like World War I, or the Revolutionary War — and we’ll assume that, well, history is history. Those kinds of events simply don’t happen anymore. “Nothing ever happens,” as the saying goes. The idea of a new civil war, or a new world war, seems too distant and implausible to consider very seriously. We’re simply too advanced for that kind of thing.
But the funny thing about World War I and the Revolutionary War — and most other conflicts throughout history — is that, at one point, they also seemed unthinkable. In fact, in 1909, someone named Norman Angell wrote a book called “The Great Illusion.” The premise of the book — which became an international best-seller, and gained a massive following on college campuses — was that war was a thing of the past. Countries that were economically connected, he argued, would never fight major conflicts with one another, because they had too much to lose. At the time, everyone thought that the book made a really compelling point. No one took issue with it. War had been solved! And then, five years later, World War I began. Tens of millions of people died.
I begin with this context because we are now trending, very clearly, towards a particularly brutal war that seemed unthinkable until recently. It’s increasingly evident that millions of people living in this country are so committed to an explicitly anti-American, post-national ideology that they cannot be reasoned with. Video evidence means nothing to them. They’re not interested in logic, laws, or decency. In some cases, they don’t even care about self-preservation. Their primary belief system revolves around a mixture of nihilism, irony, ghoulishness and intense jealousy and insecurity. And these millions of people are well-represented in government. They’re represented by politicians who are now openly threatening that they will start a new Civil War over the fact that the Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws that were passed in a free and open democratic fashion. Those politicians include Tim Walz, who’s obviously eager to distract from his involvement in a generational scheme to defraud taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
In a moment, we’ll get into the specifics of the shooting involving the ICE officer and the professional agitator who tried to run him over. We will demonstrate, beyond any doubt whatsoever, that the ICE officer was fully justified in shooting and killing the woman. But it’s important, at the outset, to reject the framing that the Left, and much of the corporate press, is attempting to establish here. So let me say it outright: Even if all of their lies were true — even if an ICE officer had somehow decided one day, for no reason, to brutally murder an innocent American citizen on camera, there would still be no justifiable reason, whatsoever, for politicians to talk the way they’re talking now in the Democrat Party, from Minnesota to Washington. There would be no justifiable reason to foment an insurrection against the United States of America. There would be no reason for a politician like Tim Walz to imply that his state is now “at war” with the federal government, and to suggest — as he did yesterday — that the National Guard might be ordered to defy, or even attack, officers of the federal government.
Watch:
Yesterday, Tim Walz declared Minnesota is at “war against the federal government.”
Again today, he called it “war with our federal government.”

What does it take for the DOJ to haul him away in handcuffs at this point? Fresh off scamming the taxpayer, he’s declaring war against the United States government. Tim Walz should not be a free man at this point. He should be looking at charges for insurrection and treason. There’s no need to read between the lines here. The implication is obvious: Tim Walz is deliberately laying the groundwork for a scenario in which the Minnesota National Guard will fire upon ICE officers, or vice versa. Will he give the order himself? Probably not. But Tim Walz understands that, in general, when you put the National Guard on the street, and order them to undermine ICE — in defiance of the Constitution — then the likelihood of a catastrophic incident — a modern “Boston Massacre” situation — becomes very, very high.
The strategy Walz is using is very familiar to Left-wing terrorists. The entire reason that this lesbian poet was stalking ICE agents yesterday — and blocking their vehicles by stopping in the middle of the road — was that she wanted a confrontation. She wanted her “partner” or whatever to film everything. She was desperately trying to get a reaction out of ICE, so that she could present them as fascists and upload the footage all over the Internet. That’s been their strategy for months now. Usually, they stand in front of ICE vehicles and try to block their access to detention facilities.
Tim Walz is applying this strategy on a much broader scale. He’s being transparently phony about his motivations. When he praises the National Guard in that clip, he doesn’t mean a word of what he’s saying. As Mike Cernovich pointed out, during the BLM riots — which Democrats of course encouraged and endorsed — Walz openly mocked the Minnesota National Guard, saying they’re poorly trained and useless.
Watch:
During the 2020 riots, Tim Walz refused to deploy the Minnesota National Guard, whom he dismissed as “19 year old cooks.”

Walz’s views of the Minnesota National Guard haven’t changed. What’s changed is that, in 2026, he’s hoping that one of these National Guardsmen will take a shot at an ICE agent, or try to run one over, or something along those lines. That would enable Democrats to launch a domestic color revolution on an even greater scale than what we saw in 2020.
Make no mistake: If an ICE officer had been murdered yesterday, every single one of these people would be celebrating right now, just as they celebrated the assassination of that healthcare CEO, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the multiple assassination attempts on Trump. They’re not remotely upset that this person died. They’re thrilled about it. They think they can use her death for their own political gain. And they’re not going to stop with this one lesbian agitator — who they’re now calling a “legal observer,” to make her sound like a UN monitor in some third-world warzone. But she wasn’t a “legal observer,” whatever that is. She was intentionally obstructing ICE, according to an eyewitness.

She was trying to stage an illegal blockade of the road to interfere with ICE agents and then rammed her car into one of them when they attempted to apprehend her. By now, you’ve probably seen many different angles of the shooting on Wednesday. We’ll start with the first clip that everyone saw, which isn’t really remarkable because of the shooting — but because of how utterly and completely annoying all of the bystanders are. Reddit must have been having some kind of convention on the sidewalk during this shooting.
That’s the only way to explain this.
Watch and listen, if you can take it.

They’re hounding the ICE agents the whole time. They’re spitting on them. And then, after the woman is shot while driving directly at an ICE officer, some guy shouts, “Dude, you did a murder, for what?” Yes, “dude, you did a murder.” Yes, that’s how these imbeciles speak. They’re not even capable of sounding like a normal person. They’ve spent so much time online, racking up tons of Reddit points, that they might as well be speaking a different language. And they’re doing all of this, supposedly, to protect foreigners who are breaking our laws and, in many cases, stealing our money.
In any event, very quickly, more videos came out, which made it even more clear that this was self-defense. This one, shot by someone on the scene and put in slow-mo by Colin Wright, is one of the best ways to visualize what happened.
I’ll point out one thing. At the 4–5 second mark, the car is in drive and the woman steps on the gas while the wheels are turned to the LEFT. Because the ground is frozen, the tires have no traction and spin in place. Had there been no ice, the car very likely would have head-on… pic.twitter.com/uwjBMj0PA2

As Colin points out, “the car is in drive and the woman steps on the gas while the wheels are turned to the LEFT. Because the ground is frozen, the tires have no traction and spin in place. Had there been no ice, the car very likely would have head-on struck the officer standing in front of the vehicle.” If, unlike this lesbian’s sad poetry career, those tires had actually gained any traction, the ICE agent might very well have died.
And indeed, from another angle, you can clearly see that the car did in fact strike the officer in a glancing blow that physically moves his body.
Here is that angle:
Pretty clear from this slo-mo.
The suspect actually struck the ICE agent with the vehicle.

Keep in mind, as you watch this footage, that we’re only seeing it because of X. If it weren’t for X, this would be another Michael Brown, “hands up don’t shoot” situation. It would be another George Floyd. It would be yet another case where a mob forms around the body, concocts a false narrative, and burns down entire cities. To the extent that we may pull back from the brink here, it’s because the public — if they know where to look — has access to this footage. And they can share it, without getting banned for spreading “Russian disinformation” or whatever.
To be clear, under the law as well as common sense, law enforcement officers have every right to shoot and kill you if you ignore their orders to stop and drive a two-ton automobile towards them. When officers don’t react with lethal force in this scenario, they often end up like this.

In just the past year, there have been more than 100 incidents where criminals in vehicles have targeted ICE and Border Patrol agents. A few months ago in Chicago, an ICE officer was dragged under a vehicle. In December, two ICE agents were hit by a car. It’s becoming a major problem for law enforcement. This is why, if you drive a car towards a police officer, you get shot. It’s why, in general, it’s a bad idea to disobey law enforcement officers. When you disregard the law, and behave as if the rules don’t apply to you, then you run a very significant risk that one day, you will pay a very severe punishment for doing so.
You get the sense that, for many of these Left-wing terrorists, they’ve never suffered real consequences for their crimes. And as a result, they’re emboldened. They think that, because they’ve run 20 red lights with no issue, therefore there’s no harm in running one more red light. Eventually, though, they inevitably learn the hard way that, indeed, there’s a very good reason to stop at red lights. If anything, that’s an argument for dramatically scaling-up the punishments that these agitators face. Don’t let them block another ICE vehicle, or spit on another ICE officer, without going to federal prison. These people can’t be coddled anymore.
And to emphasize that point, a demented woman posted this video to social media after the shooting, in which she laments the fact that she may not be able to terrorize ICE agents any more.
Watch:

As difficult as it may be to watch this woman humiliate herself, there’s an important lesson here. Terrorists on the Left — particularly the women — are not going to stop committing acts of terrorism unless they know they will face serious consequences if they do so. I can sit here, at a rational level, and explain to this woman that she does not actually have the right to drive around her city with the intention of disrupting ICE operations and harassing ICE officers. But she wouldn’t understand it. What she does understand is that she doesn’t want to get arrested, or shot in the face, or punished in a meaningful and long-lasting way. Sometimes that’s the only message that works.
The same is true for Democrat politicians, who have avoided any kind of consequences for their criminal behavior for far too long. Jacob Frey — the mayor of Minneapolis who speaks Somali, and cries like a girl when he’s reminded of all the bad checks that George Floyd used to pass while he was high on fentanyl — did everything he could to stoke the riots that burned his city in 2020.
Now he’s doing it all over again. Watch:

This guy is just a vile parasite, one of the most evil and incompetent officials in American history. And the Trump Administration should finally just cuff him and throw him in prison for inciting insurrection, which is what he’s been doing for five years now. Put him in a cell with Walz. As a mayor, you don’t get to tell federal agents what to do. You don’t get to declare your independence from the United States government, which is what Jacob Frey is now doing. And if you’re going to continue to do so — if you’re going to encourage acts of rebellion and terrorism — then you should be treated like an enemy combatant.
Until a crackdown takes place along these lines, we’re going to continue seeing anti-American terrorists in Minnesota — and all over the country — torching our flag, calling for the murder of ICE agents, and advocating for secession from the United States.

On Wednesday, at the direction of Tim Walz and the rest of the Democratic establishment, rioters gathered from New York to Seattle to do exactly that. They did not engage in “peaceful protest,” or lawful First Amendment speech. They called for mass murder. They threatened law enforcement officials. They defied the rule of law. And they’re not doing so because the lesbian poet was shot to death in Minnesota. They’re doing it precisely because it’s rare to see ICE respond with lawful and appropriate force when they’re threatened. That’s the lesson the Trump administration should draw from the Left’s response to yesterday’s shooting. These terrorists are panicking and writhing because they never expected — and aren’t equipped to handle — serious consequences for their actions. The lesbian poets never expected to face the music. And if we want to keep our country intact — which isn’t remotely guaranteed at this point — then many more terrorists — to include Tim Walz and Jacob Frey — must face just and legal consequences for their actions.
