CRINGEWORTHY: Whoopi Goldberg of ‘The View’ Wonders Why NATO Hasn’t Rescued America From Trump (VIDEO)
Screencap of Twitter/X video.
On ‘The View’ today, host Whoopi Goldberg wondered why NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has not intervened to save America from Trump, the duly elected President of the United States.
Does she actually think foreign militaries are going to land on our shores and remove Trump the way we just took out Maduro? Is that what she wants?
Who watches this show and takes it seriously? Who thinks this is an intelligent take and not painfully, embarrassingly stupid?
NewsBusters reported:
On Wednesday’s edition of The View, their inciting rhetoric reached a new dangerous level when moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemingly called on NATO to save America from President Trump and “GET HIM OUT!” She claimed America no longer had a government and demanded to know “where is everybody,” particularly NATO since they’ve helped us out before after 9/11. She also claimed Trump’s new foreign policy goal was “global domination.”…
Of course, they failed to mention it was part of the Russian ghost fleet and that it has sapped through multiple flags.
Later in the same segment, Whoopi shouted and demanded to know “Where is everybody?!” and recalled how NATO once came to our aid in a time of need, as if were in such a time again:
GOLDBERG: Let me just say this, here’s my question! Where is everybody?! Where is everybody else?! We come to everybody’s aid.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah.
GOLDBERG: We help everybody. NATO, they came and helped us after 9/11. Where is everybody? Because we’re all —
SARA HAINES: They’re worrying about Greenland right now!
Goldberg seemed to go completely insane, screaming about America supposedly not having a government: “Where is the government?! Do you realize we don’t have a government?!” Adding: “And this is a huge and should be our biggest bitch right now.”

At what point does Trump’s FCC intervene and do something about this show? It is constant misinformation, fearmongering, and demonization of Trump and Republicans.

Straight Talk From Florida Sheriff Grady Judd: ‘If You Violently Assault Police With a Two-Ton Weapon, Expect to be Shot’ (VIDEO)
Screencap of Twitter/X video.
As the left struggles to justify the actions of ICE protester Renee Nicole Good, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd has offered some straight talk to the general public. If you aim your car at a law enforcement officer in order to use it as a weapon, you should expect to be shot.
You would think that most people would know this, but as we have seen this week, there are people in the country who have never heard this seemingly basic lesson before now.
Sheriff Judd also blasted the leadership of Minneapolis and Minnesota, singling out Mayor Frey for his insulting response.
Florida’s Voice reports:
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd blasts Minneapolis mayor over ‘filthy’ rhetoric following ICE shooting
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd issued a stern rebuke of Minnesota officials Thursday, defending a federal agent’s decision to open fire on a suspect who allegedly used a vehicle as a “two-ton deadly weapon.”
The comments follow an incident in Minneapolis during which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agent discharged a firearm at the driver of an SUV. Video of the encounter shows the vehicle backing up before accelerating toward an agent who was attempting to remove the occupant.
“What did the occupant expect? They should have expected to be shot when you commit a deadly assault on a law enforcement officer,” Judd said in a recorded statement.
Judd directed much of his frustration at Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, labeling the mayor’s public reaction to the shooting as “filthy, uninformed talk.” The sheriff criticized the lack of professionalism from local leaders and suggested their rhetoric undermines law enforcement.
“Shame on you,” Judd said, addressing the mayor. “You have to be accountable for your conduct, and that starts with the mayor.”

In a fight with a car, the human body will always lose. Law enforcement officers know this but apparently there are people on the left who don’t for some reason.

BUSTED: Ilhan Omar Caught Trying to Funnel $1M to a “Substance Abuse Clinic” Operating Out of a Restaurant Run by Three People at the Same Address — GOP TORPEDOES the Earmark
Sen. Joni Ernst appears on Fox Business with host Stuart Varney, where she revealed Republicans stripped a $1 million earmark tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar
Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.
However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.
During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.
“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.
“I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.”WATCH:

As scrutiny intensified over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s role in directing taxpayer funds to questionable Minnesota entities, attention also focused on her family’s abrupt and dramatic rise in wealth.
According to a bombshell report from the New York Post, Rose Lake Capital, founded by Mynett in 2022, scrubbed the details of nine key figures between September and October 2025.
The list included high-profile Democrats like former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli, ex-Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus, DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman, former DNC treasurer William Derrough, and Keith Mestrich, the ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank, which he once called “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party.”
None of these individuals has been charged with any fraud. However, the timing coincides with federal prosecutors announcing charges against eight more suspects in the massive Minnesota welfare scam, six of whom are of Somali descent.
Omar, a prominent member of the far-left “Squad,” entered Congress in 2019 with a net worth between negative $25,000 and negative $65,000, burdened by student loans and car debt with no assets to her name.
Fast-forward to 2024, and her financial disclosures show assets ballooning to between $6 million and $30 million.
This latest scandal carries a sickening sense of déjà vu for Minnesotans.
The state is still reeling from the Feeding Our Future scandal—the largest pandemic-related fraud scheme in the nation—where $250 million intended to feed hungry children was instead laundered to buy luxury cars and international real estate.

Far-Left DA Mary Moriarty Threatens to Prosecute ICE Agent Who Fired in Self-Defense Against Violent Agitator
Mary Moriarty
The far-left Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is now claiming it has the “authority” to bring criminal charges against a federal ICE agent who was forced to use his weapon in self-defense on Wednesday.
The incident occurred during a targeted enforcement operation in South Minneapolis as part of a broader Trump administration crackdown on illegal immigration.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was acting as a “violent rioter” when she allegedly weaponized her SUV, attempting to ram and kill federal officers.
The agent, already doxxed by the legacy media, was identified as a 10-year veteran who discharged his weapon after Good allegedly accelerated her vehicle toward him.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem praised the officer’s split-second decision-making, stating he “used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues.”
Ross is no stranger to the dangers of the Twin Cities; records show he was seriously injured last year after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle during a similar operation.
VP JD Vance mentioned that the officer involved had been “dragged by a car six months ago” and required 33 stitches in his legs, a fact conveniently omitted by the fake news media.
Despite the federal nature of the incident, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, a prosecutor notorious for her “soft-on-crime” approach, is vowing to use “every available lever to ensure a local, transparent investigation takes place.”
“We have jurisdiction to bring charges, as do the feds,” Daniel Borgertpoepping, a spokesperson for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office told ABC News.
“It’s a little bit of a complicated interplay but the bottom line is yes, we have jurisdiction to bring criminal charges.”
In an interview with MS NOW, Minnesota’s far-left Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan doubled down on the rhetoric.
While federal officials maintain that ICE agents were performing their lawful duties to remove illegal aliens and maintain public safety, Flanagan and other state Democrats are framing the presence of federal law enforcement as “unconstitutional.”
Flanagan framed federal agents as the primary source of danger in Minnesota.
“These ICE agents, right, who are here under the guise somehow of safety have done nothing but make us less safe,” Flanagan claimed.
She went on to accuse the agents of “detaining American citizens,” “throwing people into the backs of vans,” arresting legal observers and innocent bystanders,” and even “deploying chemical agents around children.”
The Lieutenant Governor repeatedly called for a “full and fair, transparent investigation,” stating that “Renee Goode deserves justice.”
However, she expressed deep frustration that the FBI has rescinded its cooperation with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).
“The FBI has stopped working with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. And, you know, I don’t—what are they afraid of? I guess is my question,” Flanagan said.
She admitted that pursuing state-level charges against federal agents would be “really, really difficult” without FBI cooperation but insisted that state officials and Minnesotans would continue to “demand” the truth.
Rather than calling for calm or supporting the rule of law, the Lieutenant Governor appeared to validate the anger of the mobs, stating, “We are going to show up… we are going to express our deep sadness and lament and our anger.”

“Tim Walz is a Joke… He Should Resign”: VP JD Vance RIPS Tim Walz to Shreds for Inflammatory Anti-ICE Rhetoric
VP JD Vance absolutely BODIED Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, calling him a “joke” and demanding his immediate resignation following Walz’s latest round of inflammatory rhetoric regarding an ICE-involved shooting.
Speaking to reporters, Vance didn’t mince words when asked about Walz’s recent comments and the unrest in Minneapolis, fueled by the radical Governor and Mayor Jacob Frey.
VP Vance: “Well, it’s very tough rhetoric from a guy who just quit because his fraudulent activities have been uncovered. Look, Tim Walsh is a joke. His entire administration has been a joke. The idea that he’s some freedom fighter—he’s not. He’s a guy who has enabled fraud and maybe, in fact, has participated in fraud.
That’s what this new Assistant Attorney General position is going to find out. I don’t care what Tim Walsh says. I care about getting to the bottom of this fraud for the American people and enforcing the nation’s immigration laws.

— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) January 8, 2026Vance also highlighted the absurdity of the “Feeding Our Future” and daycare fraud scandals that have rocked Minnesota, calling it the “lowest IQ possible fraud” where bad actors set up “quality learing centers” because they couldn’t even spell ‘learning’ to steal millions in taxpayer funds.
The Vice President then escalated his criticism, flatly stating that Walz should resign.
VP Vance: “I think Tim Walz should resign because it’s very clear either that he knew about the fraud in Minneapolis, he knew about the welfare fraud, or, at the very least, he looked the other way. I mean, this is not like Lex Luthor, right? This is not movie-villain fraud.
This is the lowest-IQ possible fraud. This is: we’re going to take kids—or, sorry—we’re going to take the absence of kids and set up a daycare center where there are no children, and we’re going to call our early childhood education center the “Quality Learing Center.”
By the way, if you can’t spell “learning,” maybe you shouldn’t be in early childhood education. But people got rich off of this. We know that there were schools that either had no enrollment or, at least, overstated their enrollment.
Tim Walz—either it was unbelievable incompetence, or he was in on the fraud. That’s one of the things we’re going to get to the bottom of.”

Nick Reiner’s Heavyweight Lawyer Quits – Experts Say Likely Reason Is That Suspect of Killing His Parents Didn’t Have the Money for Steep Legal Bills
Nick Reiner is facing a potential life in prison sentence or even capital punishment.
The buck stops there.
When big-league lawyer Alan Jackson quit defending Nick Reiner’s in his murder case in which he is charged with the murder of his parents, many were left wondering why.
But the fact that he was substituted with a public defender was a clear sign, and now reports arise where experts reinforce the impression: Jackson quit because the defendant doesn’t have the money to foot the hefty bills.
The New York Post reported:
“The 32-year-old son of beloved movie director Rob Reiner was in court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, when Jackson announced he and his firm would be withdrawing as Nick Reiner’s defense lawyer after just three weeks on the case.”
Jackson said he couldn’t disclose the reason, but it’s most likely a financial decision.
“’Alan Jackson is one of the best’, former prosecutor Neama Rahmani said. ‘But for a case like this, he’s going to charge at least a seven-figure retainer. Nick Reiner doesn’t have the money, if he did, he wouldn’t be living in his parents’ guesthouse. And under the California Slayer Statute, you kill your parents — you’re disinherited’, Rahmani said.”
CCTV footage showing Nick Reiner loading up on alcohol shortly before he was arrested on suspicion of murdering his parents.
Experts agree that Jackson most likely withdrew for financial reasons, since a public defender was appointed in his place, rather than another private attorney.
Reiner is facing two counts of first-degree murder.
“’A representation like this could cost an extraordinary sum of money’, [defense attorney Mark] Bederow added. ‘Probably the money is not there. I don’t know who is controlling the family assets but I would imagine that whatever hope there had been from the client or the family, that it’s just not there and the defense costs [are] so much’.
[…] Because Nick Reiner is accused of killing more than one person, he could face life in prison, or the death penalty, if convicted. But District Attorney Nathan Hochman has not said if he plans to pursue capital punishment against him.”

WHO IS RENEE NICOLE GOOD? “She/Her” Recently Moved Back From Canada Where She Was Trying To Escape Trump—She Was “Trained against these ICE agents” and Won Prize For Grotesque Poem “On Learning To Dissect Fetal Pigs” [VIDEO]
Yesterday, several videos went viral of Renee Nicole Macklin Good blocking ICE from driving down a neighborhood street in Minneapolis with a vehicle during an ICE raid.
In one of the videos, several ICE agents are seen approaching the vehicle where Good was sitting in the driver’s seat. Her Honda SUV was parked perpendicular to traffic.
Two ICE agents approach the window of the vehicle and demand that she move. She backs up, repositions her tires so she is aiming directly at the ICE agent standing to her right, and points her vehicle at the ICE agent in front of her.
In the video, she appears to accelerate, and her vehicle appears to be moving toward the ICE agent. The ICE agent in front of her vehicle then opens fire at Ms. Good.
The 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good was killed by the gunshots fired by the ICE agent who appeared to be in her path.
Tim Pool does a brilliant job of breaking down what happened here:Tim Pool presents slowed-down footage “proving” the 37-year-old woman shot by ICE intended to “kill that ICE agent.”

Together, the pair owned a handyman business. According to the Daily Mail, the couple hated President Trump so much that they actually moved to Canada for 8 months.

— Wayne R. Walker (@GrandpaForTrump) January 8, 2026We know that Renee Nicole Macklin Good was married three times (the first two times to men and most recently to a woman) and has 3 children, and her living ex-husband said she had primarily been a stay-at-home mother in recent years, but had previously worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union. Aside from these broad details, there isn’t much else we know about her at this time.
Good’s (private) Instagram profile read: “Wife and mom and s***** guitar strummer from Colorado; experiencing Minneapolis.” Her profile also featured a pride flag and “she/her” pronouns.One thing we did find that could shed some light on her social views was a gruesome poem, “On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs,” she wrote while attending college in Virginia, that appears to mock the Bible (religion) and, later in the poem, conception.
Here is a portion of Ms. Good’s “award-winning” poem, allegedly written while she was attending Old Dominion University in Virginia, where she studied Creative Writing.
On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs
by Renée Nicole Macklin
i want back my rocking chairs,
solipsist sunsets,
& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches.
i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores
(mashed them in plastic trash bags with an acidic himalayan salt lamp—
the post-baptism bibles, the ones plucked from street corners from the meaty hands of zealots, the dumbed-down, easy-to-read, parasitic kind):
remember more the slick rubber smell of high gloss biology textbook pictures; they burned the hairs inside my nostrils,
& salt & ink that rubbed off on my palms.

A woman who lives on the street where the shooting incident happened explains how Good was parking her Honda SUV across the road, saying that she believes Good was blocking traffic, calling her “the main car leading the protest,” adding that “She was very successful at blocking the traffic, she was doing what she set out to do.” The witness said she was “definitely” impeding traffic to block ICE.According to witnesses, Renee Nicole Good was shot for attempting to run over an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
