3 reasons Renee Good’s death won’t spark a civil war

On January 8, following the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE officer after she struck him with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) strongly hinted that civil war was in the cards.

“When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota’s 1st that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863, and I think now we may be in that moment, that the nation’s looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say, ‘We can look out for one another,’” he said during a press conference addressing Good’s death.

His statement came just one day after Walz announced that he’d placed the Minnesota National Guard on a “warning order” amid tensions over federal immigration enforcement, protests, and Good’s shooting.

Many conservative media figures and Republicans have denounced Walz’s rhetoric as dangerous and inflammatory, arguing that he is intentionally stoking insurrection in hopes that a civil war will ignite.

But BlazeTV host John Doyle says that’s “not going to be the case.” On this episode of “The John Doyle Show,” Doyle explains why Good’s death isn’t going to be the catalyst that sparks civil war.

Reason #1: Good is white.

“You’re not exactly going to get people to come out onto the streets to more or less protest the death of a white woman — whether that is because, you know, they do not align with her racially or because they are, like, white liberals who do not view that to be as much of a tragedy,” Doyle says.

Reason #2: Normal people will continue doing normal people things.

“Not only are we going to enforce the law, normal people are just going to kind of allow us to do it, and it’s going to be really cool,” Doyle says.

“I like going on social media and seeing, like, my normie friends going about their lives, posting their Instagram stories, and I like seeing that because I know for a fact that all, like, the theater kids, all the leftists are seeing the normal conduct of people, and they’re seething about it. They’re angry because normal people just aren’t freaking waking up. And that makes me quite happy.”

Reason #3: It’s all theater.

“You had CNN running segments on this supposed uprising with experts warning of widespread civil unrest. Politicians, of course, were getting in on this, like Tim Walz alluding again to using the Minnesota National Guard to #resist deportations. He’s since cucked on this because that’s all it is, right? It’s intoxicating rhetoric,” laughs Doyle.

“It is trying to give the appearance of doing something when they’re going to have to completely surrender to the Trump administration and to the federal government. … They are trying to give gibs to their activist base.”

“[Democrats] wanted it to sound like the prelude to something actually big, this like real event and this real energy that could be absorbed by some kind of political machine so that they could finally freaking stand up and resist and we could have our civil war. … Except that is simply not going to happen because all these people do is complain and cry and bark,” Doyle says.

“They rarely bite. When they bite, it’s because they have control of the federal government,” he continues. And right now, they don’t.

Stepfather accused of horrific sexual abuse of 12-year-old boy tries to commit suicide in jail, prosecutor says

The mother of a 12-year-old boy is accused of horrific acts of sexual abuse that included her husband, the stepfather of the boy, according to Oklahoma police.

The boy had gone missing from the Chickasha home for nine days before he was found by volunteers at the family farm in Caddo County on Sunday.

‘Some terrible world we live in. I think he went through a terrible ordeal, and I’m just thankful to God that he’s alive.’

Police arrested his stepfather, 43-year-old George Franklin Cole Jr., and his mother, 33-year-old Kimberly Cole, while the boy was missing.

After he was found, the boy told police that he was trying to escape after years of torture from his mother and stepfather. He was placed in state custody while police investigated the allegations.

The Coles are accused of abusing the boy and another victim from as far back as 2020.

The stepfather allegedly bound the boy with handcuffs and zip-ties, stabbed him, and tased him. He also beat him with a nightstick and used a cattle probe on him, according to court documents.

The boy’s mother was accused of similar crimes, as well as counts related to bestiality.

George Cole faces 14 felonies that include eight counts of child abuse, one count of child sexual abuse, three counts of child neglect, and conspiracy. Kimberly Cole faces 11 charges that include three counts of child abuse, three counts of child neglect, two counts of child sexual abuse, two counts of crimes against nature, and one count of conspiracy.

On Monday, George Cole appeared in court and received a $2.5 million bond. After returning to his cell, the man tried to killed himself by hanging, according to Caddo County district attorney Jason Hicks.

The boy’s biological father is trying to regain custody.

One of the relatives of the victim said that police returned him to the Coles after he ran away and sought help from his step-great-aunt. She also said she witnessed evidence of the abuse.

“It’s just terrible thing. Some terrible world we live in. I think he went through a terrible ordeal, and I’m just thankful to God that he’s alive,” neighbor Vaughan Craddock said.

George Cole was hospitalized after his suicide attempt.

Trump says he will cut federal funds to sanctuary cities and states — beginning in 3 weeks

President Donald Trump said that he would seek to end federal funds to sanctuary cities and those states that have sanctuary cities by the beginning of February.

Trump made the comments during an address at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also advocated cutting credit card interest rates to a maximum of 10%.

‘It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come, so we’re not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.’

“Starting February 1, we are not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens,” the president said.

“It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come, so we’re not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities,” he added.

When asked to elaborate on the decision, he offered no further details.

“You’ll see,” Trump said. “It’ll be significant.”

The Department of Justice had previously identified 11 states they considered to be sanctuary states that included California, New York, and Connecticut.

Trump has tried to cut federal funds twice before but was blocked by judges’ rulings in both instances. In early January, he tried to cut $10 billion from child-care services but was blocked by a New York judge. In October, he cut almost $8 billion of funding from states that voted for Kamala Harris, but that effort was blocked by a Washington, D.C., judge.

He also touted his record on the economy during the speech.

“Growth is exploding, productivity is soaring, investment is booming, incomes are rising. Inflation is defeated,” Trump said.

New York Immigration Coalition president Murad Awawdeh released a statement condemning the president’s decision against sanctuary cities.

“Punishing states and cities that refuse to participate in the federal government’s inhumane and cruel attacks on immigrants is simply a playground bullying tactic. New York’s hardworking families, children, and elderly will pay the price if Trump gets his way,” Awawdeh wrote.

“Federal funding belongs to us all, as part of our government’s responsibility to ensure needs like healthcare, education, infrastructure, and public safety are met,” he added. “We expect New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions to call this bully’s bluff by litigating this egregious violation of our City and State’s 10th Amendment rights and the federal government’s responsibility to provide essential services to all counties, cities and states.”
