(The Economic Collapse Blog)—The left wants to get millions of activists into the streets during the months ahead, and just like last time around they are hoping that an incident in Minnesota will be the spark. Meanwhile, ICE has initiated a “wartime recruitment” strategy and is planning to meet any protests head on. Both sides absolutely hate one another, and we have already seen so many incidents of violence.
This is such a tragedy, because none of us should want to see Americans fighting against Americans. Unfortunately, I am convinced that the civil unrest that we are witnessing will greatly escalate as 2026 rolls along.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Rachel Maddow revealed what the left’s plan is…
Rachel Maddow Calls for More Protests Against President Trump
“Once you have 3.5% of a population protesting nonviolently against a dictator or an authoritarian, that is essentially an unstoppable force that they can’t oppose.”
If you do the math, that would be more than 10 million people in the United States.
They want to flood the streets with far left activists just like they did in 2020, and they fully understand that there will be widespread violence just like we saw back then.
And now the death of Renee Nicole Good has given them exactly what they needed.
The mainstream media is portraying her as an innocent victim, but the truth is that she had been recruited as an anti-ICE “warrior” and she was simply doing what she had been recruited to do…
Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.
She never should have been there. And we all knew that clashes between ICE and anti-ICE radicals would eventually produce this sort of an incident.
In the aftermath of Good’s death, protests immediately erupted nationwide…
Protests have erupted nationwide after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis Wednesday.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was killed during an immigration enforcement operation in a residential neighborhood south of downtown.
While heated protests were happening in Minnesota, demonstrations also took place or were expected to Thursday in New York City, Seattle, Detroit, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Antonio, New Orleans and Chicago. Protests were also scheduled in smaller cities later this week in Arizona, North Carolina, and New Hampshire.
Needless to say, these protests were very well funded.
In fact, we have learned that funding for the protest in New York City came from a very familiar source…
The protest tonight in New York City against ICE is being paid for and organized by ‘PSL New York City – Party for Socialism and Liberation’
They are funded by Neville Roy Singham who lives in China and works with the CCP
He donated over $20 million to entities like the Justice and Education Fund, which supports Party for Socialism & Liberation activities like protests
He also funds groups with heavy Party for Socialism & Liberation leadership overlap
In other words in a huge networks of organization of professional protesters working to take down America
If the left thinks that they can get the Trump administration to back down, they are wrong.
According to CBS News, approximately 2,000 federal agents have been deployed to Minneapolis for a 30 day “surge”…
The Trump administration has begun a massive deployment of hundreds of Department of Homeland Security agents to the Twin Cities area as it escalates its federal crackdown amid a widening fraud scandal in Minnesota, multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the plan told CBS News.
The crackdown could involve roughly 2,000 agents and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation branch and Homeland Security Investigations, the agency’s investigative arm tasked with fighting transnational crimes, the officials said. They requested anonymity to discuss operations that have not been publicly announced.
The plan is for the agents and officers to oversee a 30-day surge in operations in the Twin Cities area, making the region the first major target of the Trump administration’s expanded immigration crackdown in the new year, officials said.
We heard the word “surge” being used a lot during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Using military terminology is only going to increase tensions.
And the Washington Post is telling us that ICE has begun a $100 million “wartime recruitment” strategy…
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are planning to spend $100 million over a one-year period to recruit gun rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted advertising campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy it said was critical to hiring thousands of new deportation officers nationwide, according to an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post.
The spending would help President Donald Trump’s mass-deportation agenda dominate media networks and recruitment channels, including through ads targeting people who have attended UFC fights, listened to patriotic podcasts or shown an interest in guns and tactical gear, according to a 30-page document distributed among officials this summer detailing ICE’s “surge hiring marketing strategy.”
The Department of Homeland Security has spoken publicly about its fast-tracked effort to significantly increase ICE’s workforce by hiring more than 10,000 new employees, a surge promoted on social media with calls for recruits willing to perform their “sacred duty” and “defend the homeland” by repelling “foreign invaders.” The agency currently employs more than 20,000 people, according to ICE’s website.
If they are preparing for “war”, who do they intend to fight?
I am sure that many of you have seen those ads by now.
There are a lot of unemployed people out there these days, and so I am sure that they are getting a lot of applications.
Vice-President JD Vance says that as ICE hires more people, we will soon see members of ICE going “door-to-door”…
“I think if we’re to see those deportation numbers ramp up as we get more and more people online working for ICE going from door-to-door making sure if you’re an illegal alien you’re going to have to get out of this country and if you want to comeback apply through the proper channels.”
The Trump administration seems to believe that they will be able to get the left to back down.
But instead, the violence just continues to increase.
In 2025, there was a 1,300% increase in assaults against ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks against ICE officers…
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released new statistics Thursday indicating a sharp increase in assaults, vehicular attacks, and death threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcement officers over the past year. According to DHS, assaults against ICE officers rose more than 1,300 percent during the first year of the Trump administration. DHS reported 275 assaults between January 20 and December 31, 2025, compared to 19 assaults recorded during the same time period in 2024, which the department characterized as a 1,347 percent increase.
DHS also reported a significant rise in vehicular-related incidents involving ICE personnel. Between January 21, 2025, and January 7, 2026, ICE officers experienced 66 vehicular attacks, compared to two during the same time span the previous year, an increase DHS calculated as 3,200 percent. In addition, DHS said it has recorded an 8,000 percent increase in death threats directed at ICE law enforcement officers, though the department did not specify the underlying totals in the release.
It is going to get a lot worse.
ICE is ramping up their “wartime recruitment” strategy so that they can conduct more operations in 2026, and the left hopes to mobilize millions of people to oppose them.
An internal revolution is brewing.
So many of the things that I have been warning my readers about for so many years are now happening right in front of our eyes.
This is not going to end well.
But most of you already knew that.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
Rachel Maddow, asking for a friend
Why is it that the people “protesting nonviolently” are all in the worst crime ridden areas of the US
and not those where the police are doing their job?
Why are these people not protesting at every police station in the states with the worst crime?
Cuz the police want their benes. They fall in line as all have for thousands of years. When they have a moral compass, they leave and move to places like Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah so they can be legitimate LEOs. They are very much welcomed in those places.
One dead Racheal Maddow will shut everyone else up
Regime change is a weapon our enemies are using. It can be fast, such as an engineered military coup or slow, the takeover of a societies values. This is what is happening within the US aided and abetted by Islamic nations and radical groups, and our enemies such as China and Russia. It takes an army to defend a nation but parents and teachers (professors) to pass on the vital shared values of a civilization. There is a belief in certain circles that regime change does not work. It did in Cuba and Jimmy Carter allowed it to happen in Iran to the detriment of many both in the countries where it occurred in in neighboring nations. In the United States, the promulgation of us being a racist society, leftist and Islamic ideologies started in the entertainment industry, spread to the Mainstream (democrat activist) media, and overwhelmed the Universities, then high schools, and even middle schools. It is effective, with cities, then states, and the entire nation being suborned. Any effective conservative who fights against the trend is the object of hatred and now violence. The current administration is especially a target but so was Nixon and Reagan. Regime change should not be eliminated as a potential tool to make the world a better place. That is stupidity. However, it should be carefully evaluated in terms of how, why, and what means. Minnesota, used George Floyd as a cause a few years ago. Now it is repeating the process. Bottom line, the radical democrats will no longer accept the results of an election. They are hell bent on acquiring power and control. Thus our free nation is in great danger!
18 years ago we where in great danger…Now we are being ripped to shreds. Dominion machines win!!! They have successfully destroyed the USA from within.
There really is no place for normal people to go anymore. The left equates anything other than capitulation to their warped mindset as being their enemy. They have no intention of allowing what most rational people would call “normal America” to ever be re-established.
So you either capitulate or fight.
I’ll choose “fight” as the only sane option.
Lock and load.
We can flood the streets with 75 million if that’s what is required. Why is the Left allowed to make these threats without accountability? If a Conservative said the same thing there’d be hell to pay. All the Left has is hate and violence. They’ve got no agenda. No platform. No leader. Nothing except hate Trump and all who voted for him.
I was wrong. The Left also has assassination squads and Antifa, BLM, OfA, and other terrorist organizations under their banner.
It’s a hell of a thing, but I was thinking about the ‘troubles’ in Chile under Pincohet, also Brazil and Argentina, all decades ago. The horrors were real i.e. torture garages and airdropping captives over the sea, etc. But the terrorism of the left is also incredibly real. They are deliberately radical, collectively violent and feverish as hell about it. The saner liberals, which isn’t saying much, get dynamic and pursue law. All these problems begin and end with the corruption of the courts. Here in the United States, we have the infection form our lowext municipal courts to the Supreme Court of Morons, none of which I respect. RINO wafers inevitably veer toward the liberal trend, and how here we are: constant death threat against federal agents, paid oppostion wih pallets of bricks and preprinted signs delivered on site, hysteria over bs up the yin yang. I’m not going to fight in this war; much of this could have been prevented, but was not. It just crossed my mind, though, that those ‘troubles’ inevitably make a degree of sense. When you can’t prosecute or control the bomb-chuckers and thugs and incecssant crazies, there is still an awful lot of water and empty planes sitting around. Just a terrible thought. Kill or be killed, where we are heading. A lefitst just threw a bomb at the head of a right-leaning Honduran candidate . . . I wonder what they’ll do down there, assuming they are not destroyed before taking power? All very dangerous games. At the very least, I am uninterested in paying taxes to fund structured insanity, fraud, and corruption. America has been going to hell for many years now, and critical mass seems to be coming. Gool luck out there.
Jesus said, “Satan (the thief) comes but to steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10). He is moving his anti-ICE troops to protest ICE They have been taken captive to do his will, and don’t realize it (2 Tim. 2:26). These protesters need Jesus to set them free from their deeply seated TDS and satanically inspired behavior. Pray that God will bring this war to an end.
These domestic terrorist libs want to start another Civil War. They actually think that their second civil war will be like the last. Sorry to let you in on reality, but they will not be fighting local militias and untrained troops. This time the Marines will knock them down for good. Have fun idiots!
They are trying to foment a revolution. Newsom went on one of the late night shows with a map showing the Democrat Party’s plan for civil war, with the left coast and New England all shaded blue, along with places like Colorado, Minnesota, and Illinois, etc. He explained that they hoped to be able to subvert the loyalty of segments of the military to rise up against the lawful government. That’s what the Seditious Six did. Immigration laws were passed by duly elected representatives in Congress. The were signed into law by a President. That is how democracy works. Those protesting enforcement, are protesting against democracy. Nearly all of them are Democrats, of course. That is the party that does not practice democracy. This is a Bolshevik style revolution. And the government does nothing to stop it. We have laws against insurrection, and they are not being enforced.
Wrong, ICE doesn’t hate anyone, they’re just doing their Constitutional duty that they swore an oath to do.
The left should be warned to back off because they will lose badly. They don’t even know what a gun is. We don’t have to do nothing here on the right but watch the left blow their ownselves to pieces when they are seen looking down the barrel to aim.
One thing is for sure in the case of a possible Civil War 2…
It will be a very short war and there will be alot of dead domestic communists and socialists…
Nothing ever happens.
