President Donald Trump could be seen on video flipping the bird and saying the phrase &#8220;f*ck you&#8221; in the direction of a heckler during his Tuesday visit to the Ford F-150 plant in Dearborn, Michigan.
The president, in town for a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, toured the F-150 plant as well — and responded in the moment as someone in the crowd shouted at him, apparently accusing the president of &#8220;protecting&#8221; the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Entertainment site TMZ first reported the news, sharing video of the brief exchange that quickly made its way across social media.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth fired back — rhetorically speaking — at Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over a lawsuit filed Monday, saying that the Arizona Democrat was only &#8220;worried and cranky&#8221; because he was facing consequences for his own actions.

Hegseth’s comment comes one day after Kelly announced his lawsuit — in which he also named Navy Secretary John Phelan, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of War as co-defendants — claiming that Hegseth had stepped outside his Constitutional authority in censuring him and launching a review of his behavior.
“Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable,” Kelly claimed. “His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.”
Hegseth, one week earlier, announced the censure and a full review of Kelly’s conduct over the Arizona senator’s role in creating a video that encouraged active duty service members to question the legality of their orders in real time.
Referring to Kelly and the other Democratic lawmakers involved as “The Seditious Six,” Hegseth noted that the retired Navy captain was the only one who was still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and announced a review of his conduct that could ultimately result in a reduction in rank and pay, or even see Kelly recalled to active duty to face a Court Martial.

Pete Hegseth Hits Back At ‘Captain’ Mark Kelly: He ‘Knows Exactly What He Did’

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said there was no hope for the city- and state-filed lawsuits against the federal government over the surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and resources to states like Minnesota and Illinois.
Honig said that he&#8217;d read the lawsuits coming out of both blue states, and that they read more like &#8220;political diatribes&#8221; than lawsuits that any shot at achieving the demands presented within.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve read both the Minnesota and Illinois lawsuits,&#8221; he began. &#8220;They’re really political diatribes masquerading as lawsuits.&#8221;
&#8220;If you look at what both states are asking the courts to do, it&#8217;s to kick ICE out of those states and cities and to bar ICE from carrying on federal law enforcement in Illinois and Minnesota,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That&#8217;s the top thing both states said to do, and they cite zero precedent for that. There is zero precedent for that. There is no way a judge can say, ‘You, federal law enforcement agency, you are not allowed to execute federal law in a certain state or city.'&#8221;
Honig went on to say that the best case scenario — for the states in question — was that the states might get the courts to call for hearings and put a spotlight on the manner in which ICE was executing that law.
&#8220;If they get sympathetic judges, [they might get] a judge who’s going to ask questions of ICE, who’s gonna hold hearings, who is to demand questions about how they’re training, how they are carrying out their policy,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;You also could have judges that issue sort of symbolic orders along the lines of, ICE, you are not to violate the law &#8212; but that’s already the case. It’s already not allowed for ICE to violate the law. So these lawsuits, which appear to be coordinated, they’re potentially powerful political statements, but I don’t give them much of a chance of achieving the legal thing that they’re asking for in the courts.&#8221;
Host Kate Bolduan noted that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) had referred to the surge of ICE agents in his state as an &#8220;invasion&#8221; and asked Honig to weigh in on that characterization as well.
&#8220;I mean, it’s a powerful sort of rhetorical term. You heard a lot of things about an invasion and how horrible this is,&#8221; he replied. &#8220;Even if every allegation made in both complaints is true, and we don’t know that, it doesn’t necessarily give them a constitutional legal remedy here.&#8221;
He concluded by outlining the constitutional problem underlying the lawsuits, noting that any judge ruling in favor of either state would be in violation of the supremacy clause, &#8220;which says the federal government gets to carry out federal priorities and the states cannot stop them.&#8221;

Even CNN Analyst Destroys State Legal Attacks On ICE: ‘Political Diatribes Masquerading As Lawsuits’

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld asked why there were no friends or family members willing to step in and advise liberal women against putting themselves in harm&#8217;s way by obstructing the actions of armed federal officers.
Gutfeld raised the question during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The Five,&#8221; arguing that liberals could not publicly advise anyone not to engage Immigration and Customs Enforcement and keep their claim to &#8220;virtue&#8221; intact.

&#8220;The argument over this shooting is irrelevant if you deny the premise for them being there,&#8221; Gutfeld began, referring to the deadly confrontation between anti-ICE activist Renee Good and an ICE agent several days earlier. &#8220;This is part of the strategic ignorance where the other side doesn&#8217;t understand things: Why is ICE here? Why is breaking the law wrong? Why do we need this kind of enforcement? What is wrong with an open border?&#8221;
Gutfeld went on to argue that the entire point of the feigned ignorance was to bog conservatives down in answering those questions, all the while knowing that the liberals asking them knew the answers.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t break into Disneyland, you pay,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;You don&#8217;t cut in line at the movies, you wait in line. You don&#8217;t interfere with the police, you know it&#8217;s wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;You are living a lie,&#8221; Gutfeld said, adding that when it came to the far-Left, their private behavior did not align with their public behavior.
&#8220;I want every liberal, because we have millions of liberals watching this show, to engage in a thought scenario,&#8221; Gutfeld continued. &#8220;You ask your sister this question: &#8216;So, what are your plans today, Deborah?&#8217; She goes, &#8216;Well, I plan on filming myself harassing and impeding armed law enforcement.&#8217; So, how would you respond to your sister?&#8221;
Gutfeld argued that most people, regardless of political affiliation, would advise against such actions.
&#8220;If you deny, to a family member or a best friend, that this is how you would react, you are lying to yourself to protect your public virtue,&#8221; Gutfeld declared. &#8220;Would you say, &#8216;You go, girl?&#8217; Of course not! You would say, &#8216;You need an intervention. I need to stop you because I care about you.'&#8221;
&#8220;That is the problem, Jessica,&#8221; he said then, turning to liberal cohost Jessica Tarlov. &#8220;Nobody cares about [Renee] Good. You don&#8217;t care about her, the Left never cared about her, the activist group that trained her didn&#8217;t care about it – who should be sued for wrongful death, who put her in this situation. She had no friends, she had no relatives to offer her advice when she was doing this stuff, when she was putting her life in jeopardy.&#8221;
Gutfeld went on to say that Good was not alone in that — and that many other women had appeared in similar videos harassing ICE agents, although usually with less tragic ends.
&#8220;Where are their friends? Where are their parents? Where are the kids that would say, &#8216;Mommy, what are you doing? Why aren&#8217;t you home?'&#8221; he asked.

Greg Gutfeld: Why Won’t Friends Tell Liberal Women It’s Unwise To Harass Armed Officers?

Whoopi Goldberg immediately backpedaled after claiming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were &#8220;violent criminals,&#8221; saying that she was using &#8220;nuance&#8221; when she made that particular statement.
Goldberg joined her cohosts on Monday&#8217;s broadcast of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; where they discussed the fatal confrontation between anti-ICE activist Renee Good and the ICE agent who shot and killed her when she accelerated toward him, striking him with her vehicle. Goldberg&#8217;s overall assessment of the situation was that ICE agents were more violent than the people they were apprehending in major cities like Minneapolis.

Goldberg began by complaining that the Department of Homeland Security had promised to pick up the worst of the worst and the most “violent criminals” — and reports detailing who ICE agents have arrested since the surge in Minneapolis began indicate they have followed through on that promise.
But Goldberg disagreed with DHS and said that, as far as she was concerned, it appeared that the “violent criminals” were inside ICE.
“This is the thing, you said you were going after the bad guys. That&#8217;s what you said, the violent criminals. And what does it turn out? The violent criminals seem to be in the agency,” she said.
The show cut to a commercial break then, and by the time they returned to air, she was already trying to un-ring the bell.
“Welcome back. Before we go on, I — before folks gather around and say, &#8216;oh, she&#8217;s accusing all of the folks at ICE of being criminals,’ that is not what I&#8217;m doing. And just so I&#8217;m clear, it feels sometimes that there is no one watching the henhouse. Okay? So before y&#8217;all start blowing it into all kinds of other stuff, just know that it&#8217;s nuance speaking,” she said.

Whoopi Claims ICE Agents Are Violent Criminals, Then Scrambles To Backpedal: ‘It’s Nuance Speaking’

A shooting involving an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and an anti-ICE activist Renee Good left the former injured and the latter dead. Despite evidence to the contrary provided in multiple videos — from several different angles — media outlets were quick to assist Democrats in their claims that the ICE agents were nothing more than aggressors, carrying out the whims of President Donald Trump.
For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
Even after videos emerged showing Good intentionally blocking federal agents with her car and taunting them — and then accelerating and striking the agent before he began firing his weapon — Democrats and the legacy media persisted in pushing several distinct narratives. While their coverage varied, the common thread was a simple one: the ICE agents had done something wrong.
ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz brought in Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) to discuss the situation, and Smith complained that the Department of Homeland Security had referred to Good&#8217;s behavior as &#8220;domestic terrorism&#8221; before details had been released. Of course, by the time Smith joined the broadcast, it had become apparent that Good was part of an anti-ICE activist group and had been trained to obstruct federal agents as they worked to enforce immigration law.

Smith claimed the ICE agents suddenly snapped after a friendly exchange with protesters, arguing that better training would have prevented the incident.
&#8220;No professional law enforcement would exchange words or banter with somebody who is engaged in their legal right to protest and then lose control, which looks to me like what happened here,&#8221; she said.

Raddatz also spoke with former acting ICE Director John Sandweg about the shooting, asking how the landscape had changed in recent years. Marching straight through the door Raddatz had opened for him, Sandweg said that ICE had adopted new &#8220;tactics&#8221; — and that those tactics were the real reason agents were facing dramatic increases in assaults against them as well as confrontations that ended in violence.
&#8220;This is a new environment for ICE and it’s not one that’s part of their core mission,&#8221; he said, suggesting with no pushback from Raddatz that the ICE agents stepping outside of their &#8220;core mission&#8221; was the root cause of the problem.

On CBS News, &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; anchor Margaret Brennan spoke with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) about the shooting — and she too made the claim that the ICE agent in question had not been properly trained.
&#8220;Renee Nicole Good, as you hear her say, she&#8217;s not mad, she&#8217;s sitting in her car, peacefully waving cars to get by,&#8221; Omar said, leaving out the fact that Good had positioned her vehicle so that it created a choke point that would only let one car, moving slowly, to get around her. She then immediately identified the ICE officer as the aggressor, describing his actions as wholly unnecessary and suggesting that Good was attempting to flee the scene because he&#8217;d scared her.
&#8220;And then you see the other officer, who can clearly see the car is moving, move toward the front of the car, which if they are saying that he has ten years on service and is trained, he should know that you shouldn&#8217;t be trying to get in front of a moving car,&#8221; Omar claimed, despite multiple video angles that show the officer standing in front of the vehicle prior to Good&#8217;s acceleration.

Although Brennan offered no challenge to Omar&#8217;s narrative — despite the video evidence that contradicted it — she did push back slightly when she asked whether it was reasonable to have citizens effectively stalking federal agents while they were attempting to do their jobs.
Omar insisted that it was &#8220;very important&#8221; for Americans to record ICE agents while they work &#8220;to create the level of accountability and transparency,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I think it is fair for citizens to document what law enforcement is doing in their communities.&#8221;

On CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; anchor Jake Tapper spoke with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), who claimed that the ICE presence in his city was not doing anything to help people.
&#8220;ICE and Kristi Noem and everything they&#8217;re doing is making [Minneapolis] far less safe,&#8221; he said, despite the growing list of violent offenders who have been apprehended in his city since the surge began.

Frey took things a bit further, also attempting to spin Renee Good&#8217;s clearly intentional blockage of traffic as her simply not being very good at turning around. &#8220;(Renee Good) was doing a three or a four or five-point turn&#8230; if doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist and my wife is a criminal every single day,&#8221; he said.

Mayor Frey doesn&#8217;t know what a three-point turn is.

As we take a closer look into the oppression of women in Iran, it makes me wonder where American protesters are for these women who are risking their lives for basic freedom. It raises a hard question about why so many voices that claim to fight for women’s rights are silent.
