The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken the extraordinary step of restricting its citizens from studying at British universities, explicitly citing fears that UK campuses have become breeding grounds for Islamist radicalisation — particularly through [...] The post UAE Bans Its Citizens from Studying at UK Universities Over Fear of Islamic Radicalisation appeared first on The People's Voice.

Renee Good, the now-deceased 37-year-old woman who "weaponized her vehicle" by "intentionally using it as a deadly weapon" and attempting to ram into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during an operation, was an active participant in a local "ICE Watch" activist network in Minneapolis — a coalition of community members who monitor, document and resist federal ICE raids.

Reliving 'disconnect' in J6 coverage from liberal media: Greg Kelly

Carl Higbie: 'Trolls,' don't show up to federal agents' houses - for your own good

The following is an adapted transcript excerpt from The Michael Knowles Show. * * * When it comes to the unrest in Minneapolis, the more you allow people to get away with this kind of behavior — direct threats, incitement to violence, blocking traffic, blocking law enforcement, even driving their cars into law enforcement — the more of it you’re going to get. People will become accustomed to the behavior and to the idea that it is acceptable. Of course, now other bougie white ladies who have been doing the same thing are concluding from this incident that, well, maybe they shouldn’t. This Charlotte woman is now terrified to obstruct law enforcement: This woman says shes also been driving around looking to interfere with ICE operations in Charlotte and now shes horrified. Maybe she should stop, then. pic.twitter.com/I9Umys6VDZ — Cassandra MacDonald (@CassandraRules) January 7, 2026 Credit: @CassandraRules/X.com I am shocked because only a few weeks ago, I was driving around this town that I live in, in Charlotte, doing very similar things, looking for ICE agents, trying to prevent them from kidnapping people off the street. And there was a lot of other people out there doing that on a daily basis, as is our right to drive around the streets of our city. It’s frightening right now. The last part is really all that matters. “It’s frightening right now.” You can tell how confused this woman is. She might be sincere, but she’s so confused. She says the woman was trying to drive away. She wasn’t actually driving away. We now have all the video footage from all the angles. Even CNN is running it. The woman was clearly trying to obstruct federal law enforcement. And guess what? You don’t have a right to obstruct federal law enforcement, or local law enforcement, for that matter. You don’t have that right. You may think you have that right because Democrat politicians have lied to you and have encouraged this behavior and have allowed the anarchy to fester and are now largely responsible for that woman being killed.  So let’s correct the record right now: You don’t have that right. WATCH: The Michael Knowles Show Vice President JD Vance said all of this beautifully. He gave one of the best performances I’ve certainly ever seen from a vice president — one of the best performances in this administration. He came out with his typical lucidity and moral clarity. Here is his take on Minneapolis: JD VANCE: “There’s a part of me that feels very sad for this woman, not just because she lost her life, but because she’s a victim of left wing ideology. What young mother shows up and decides to throw their car in front of ICE officers who are enforcing legitimate law? You have… pic.twitter.com/XnRWWn1lfb — Autism Capital ? (@AutismCapital) January 8, 2026 Credit: @AustismCapital/X.com The one final point I’ll make about this is, look, there’s a part of me that feels very, very sad for this woman, not just because she lost her life, but because I think she is a victim of left wing ideology. What young mother shows up and decides they’re going to throw their car in front of Ice officers who are enforcing legitimate law. You’ve got to be a little brainwashed to get to that point… Spot on. This is exactly the right tone. We’re not saying, “That evil domestic terrorist woman, yeah we love that she’s dead!” We know, it’s sad. It’s sad that she was perhaps so brainwashed that she thought the ICE officers really were the Gestapo. Where did she get that from? She got it from cable news. She probably thought that illegal aliens have a right to be in this country. They don’t. But she has heard that from all the Democrat bullhorns. She’s heard that from anyone who says that illegal aliens are “undocumented Americans.” “Well, if they’re Americans, they have a right to be here.” They’re not Americans. That’s the point. She probably thought these people were totally innocent. They’re not.  She probably thought they’re not face-tattooed gangsters, they’re not defrauding the government. They’re all just little “abuelas” trying to peacefully make a pie in the kitchen when the Gestapo suddenly shows up. No — she was brainwashed. And she betrayed her family. She betrayed her daughter. She may not have meant to — I don’t doubt that — but she did. And why? To go out there, not just for a stupid cause, but for such an unjust cause? And leave your kid without a mother? I feel sorry for this woman that her mind would be so scrambled to get to that point. But it doesn’t change the fact that it was all wrong. In fact, that should impel you to want to set the record straight, which is what JD does when it comes to the news media. .@VP delivers a much needed torching the Fake News: “Everybody who has been repeating the LIE that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement shot at her — you should be ashamed of yourselves.” ? pic.twitter.com/rArUNnzPxi — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 8, 2026 Credit: @RapidResponse47/X.com The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. Everybody who’s been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her — you should be ashamed of yourself. And that is precisely the point. If you lie generally, you should be ashamed of yourself because you’re committing a mortal sin. If you lie about an event of public interest, you should especially be ashamed of yourself because it causes political scandal. But if you lie about this kind of issue, you should be ashamed of yourself because you are setting the stage for naive and ignorant people to put themselves in harm’s way for your lie. And that’s what happened. The liberal media — it is not hyperbole to say — bear a considerable amount of responsibility for that woman’s death.

With the southern border being effectively shut down under the Trump administration and likely to become a pivotal factor for the Republicans’ campaign messaging in 2026, Senate Majority Leader John Thune appeared on Friday alongside a handful of incumbent GOP leaders at the border wall in McAllen, Texas. “On the border today with colleagues, including [Cornyn] and future colleagues [Whatley] and [Rogers],” Thune posted to X. “Happy to report that thanks to new leadership in Washington and strong policies like the Working Families Tax Cuts, the southern border is safe and secure.” Immigration and the border were considered a top issue for voters in the 2024 election, according to a Navigator Research report, and will likely remain so in 2026. Thune brought along North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley, and Mike Rogers, who’s running in Michigan. Rogers and Whatley are both considered frontrunners for the Republican nomination in their states. Currently, the Cook Political Report rates both races a “toss-up.” “This is the front line for law enforcement right here in the country,” Rogers said Friday. “This is the group that will stop the one rapist who rape a young lady jogging on a trail and leaving her body in a cruel and inhumane way on the trail. That stops here, on this border.” Sen. John Cornyn was also in attendance as he faces a tight primary challenge against Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt. The upcoming Republican primaries could play a larger role in how the border clean-up is touted compared to the general elections. The Friday visit led to a scuffle between Cornyn’s campaign and Hunt on Friday on X. Hunt posted, “Word on the street is John Cornyn will be visiting the border on Friday for a photo-op. What’s he going to do, look at the wall he opposed?” The Texas senator’s campaign responded with a lengthy post saying that Cornyn “led the effort to secure $13B+ for federal reimbursement for state border efforts,” “voted for HUNDREDS of billions of dollars for the border wall over years” and “led many border delegations and been to the border dozens and dozens of times.” Whoever wins the primary will face off against either Rep. Jasmine Crockett or state Rep. James Talarico in the border state contest. As ICE continues its deportation efforts nationwide, apprehensions at the border have come to a near-total halt, with only 221 apprehensions on Thursday, according to data reported by Fox News. The numbers draw a sharp contrast from the height of the Biden-era border crisis, where there were sometimes daily apprehensions in the thousands. In Congress, there were major pieces of border and immigration-related legislation that ended up being signed by President Donald Trump last year, including the Laken Riley Act and the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The OBBA included billions in border security funding in addition to $13.5 billion for reimbursements to go toward states that had to pay for border crisis mitigation.
