The growing use of Trump’s storm trooper ICE invaders will certainly be committing more murders will again be caused the overabundance of ICE officials in blue state capitals.
In Minneapolis, a statement right after the murder from director of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, adorned in her cowboy hat, claimed that the 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good a mother of a 6-year-old was a terrorist who had tried to run over agents.
Three clips showing the murder of Renee Nicole Good
Clip 1: You can see Renee Nicole Good wave three times to the ICE cars to go past. One of them did, the second one chose to stop
Clip 2: When the second ICE car stopped, Renee Nicole Good with her car window open shouts to… pic.twitter.com/G7rNsko75g

There was no shortage of training involved here, as good was shot by ICE agent Johnathan Ross, who has 10 years of experience with the agency!
Fortunately, a movie captured on a resident’s cell phone showed a directly opposite scenario from Bondi, but Trump and Vance quickly backed the obvious lie by Bondi that it was Good’s terrorism as she ran over the officer. The Bondi statement was released almost as soon as the woman was declared dead at a nearby hospital.
Massive protests have risen over the obvious murder of Good around the country.
The FBI took charge of the Good murder investigation, and any possible evidence at the site was quickly removed. No Minnesota authorities were allowed to participate in what will obviously be a completely bogus report of the actual murder!!!
This event took place near the site of George Floyd’s death in May 2020. His murderer, a Minneapolis police officer is now serving a long jail sentence.
Subsequently after the Floyd murder Minneapolis citizens have been alerted to take Cell Phone pictures of any probable Similar incidents, which is why the evidence of this latest shooting is so fortunately available.
The mayor of Minneapolis made a powerful statement, demanding that these ICE agents “get the f—K out of town” and urging his fellow citizens to engage in peaceful protest because violent protests is exactly what Trump is trying to incite!

Since Good’s January 9, a murder in Minneapolis citizens have been protesting peacefully for the most part while massive reactive demonstrations have occurred all around the country. Trump ordered another 1000 ICE troops making three thousand in Minneapolis.
Now, as we await the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein and files, we are confronted with another Trump initiative, which will bring a criminal charge against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, which would threaten the financial stability of America and much of the world. Three past Fed Chairpersons decried Trump’s action and Powell defended his role vigorously!
Trump has urged the Fed to quickly lower interest rates, which could lead to rapid inflation. Of Cour Powell’s term is up in May, but Congress will be very Leary of any new chairman who does not have proper experience and credentials that will keep him from being a Trump doxy.
Trump is clearly pursuing manically his attempt to create an authoritarian government which will ignore our laws and our constitution.
The cruelty and viciousness of his behavior, which he constantly covers with absurd, ranting, has not managed to incite public outrage from most of the elected GOP members of Congress.
So far no Trump criminality has proved disturbing enough for them to take meaningful actions to stop him.
He claims he is going to take over Greenland, which is a member of NATO where we have had free access to establish military bases, claiming that unless we do that Russia and China will come over and threaten our national security. Any takeover of a NATO country by the US would destroy 80 years of NATO maintained security and stability.
He also faces pressure to reinforce the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, which could give him the chance to take control of Cuba and perhaps even Colombia.
American citizens are obviously deeply concerned about his actions and yet keeping him in check until the November 2026 midterm elections seem highly unlikely and we can anticipate that much more damage will be done before then.
In Washington, Trump has already aborted the long-term operating contract to manage the three public golf courses so he can “improve them” and somehow make a profit and so doing for himself or his cronies.
Exclusive: The Trump administration terminated the lease agreement governing Washington’s three public golf courses, a move that clears a path for the president to put his imprint on one of the region’s most prominent public courses. https://t.co/BZxbl8Zezg

Despite the fact that ticket sales at the Kennedy Center have plummeted, he renamed the Kennedy Center the Trump and Kennedy Center for the Performing arts!
Then tearing down the East wing of the White House with none of the legally required planning reviews, so that he can entertain his rich friends in a new golden ballroom is simply another of his serial perfidies!
The seeming inability of our elected government officials to stop these inanities is frightening.
The prospect of stopping Trump’s actions at the midterms with a Democratic majority in the US Houe of Representatives is not certain nor can Trump’s bad actions be easily reversed.
That would require removing Trump from office before 2028. Even after a third impeachment by the US House, removing him from office still requires 67 Senate votes.
Although I’ve often speculated about how that could happen, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this is unlikely.
Notably, the number of foreign students studying at major U.S. universities remains steady despite Trump’s stance on immigration.
It is these a bright foreign graduate who frequently stay in the United States and provide their energy and accomplishments to our overall well-being, this cannot be sustained if Trump’s plans are continuing.
Trump has issued hundreds of illegal initiatives which have gone to date unpunished. Even his claim that he lost the 2020 election which included his attempt at a coup at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, or the US House special inquiry thereafter have not derailed him.
His unpopularity and his probable loss of the House of Representatives at the midterms will hardly be adequate to fix his trait of using his office as a personal profit machine, making billions for him, his family and his cronies.
Gallup just dropped a political earthquake. Trump now has the worst net approval of any second-term president in modern history except Nixon at this same point.
And here’s the kicker: no second-term president has ever improved their net approval by more than 5 points heading… pic.twitter.com/98gf80shgt

Oh, and now he talks of attacking Iran. Is that far away from happening? He loves starting violence!
Of course, we can’t end this listening of dreadful events without mentioning and Trump’s takeover of Venezuela Taking its President Maduro to stand trial in the US while his Vice President Delcy Rodriguez became acting Venezuelan President and likely ends Trump’s promise to run Venezuela without committing US troop boots on the ground.
He has been and will be unsuccessful in attracting U.S. oil companies such as Chevron or Exxon to invest there without certainty their employees will not be attacked. Its thick crude oil is hard to refine. With oil now under $60.00 a barrel this is an economically terrible investment which will not be made.
When will Trump’s madness end? My imagination is not that good.
