(DCNF)—Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov on Monday, accusing her of reaching conclusions about a law-enforcement incident before investigators established the facts.
A Border Patrol agent fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti during what the Department of Homeland Security described as a “targeted” enforcement operation at about 9:05 a.m. Saturday, an incident that later started riots and property destruction. During a discussion on “The Five,” McEnany repeatedly pressed Tarlov on whether she was calling for an investigation or had already decided who was at fault.
“Jessica, did you call for an investigation after Renee Good? You did. Are you calling for an investigation now? Are you just stating a conclusion? Because it seems like you’ve arrived at a conclusion before an investigation,” McEnany said.
Tarlov pushed back, saying the discussion itself was not divisive and rejecting the idea that criticizing rhetoric amounted to prejudging the case. McEnany disagreed and warned that language matters, especially when it implies criminal guilt.
“It is irresponsible to call someone a domestic terrorist before you have the facts,” McEnany said. “You are no different than Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem came out and said ‘domestic terrorists.’ You are coming out and saying murderer. When you say murder, you are calling those six agents murderers before you have the facts. The responsible way to handle this is to say one, it is a tragedy anytime a U.S. citizen dies.”
“It is a tragedy that Renee Good died. It is a tragedy that Alex Pretti died,” McEnany added. “We call for an investigation because we don’t arrive at conclusions. We don’t call people domestic terrorists who were killed before investigations disagree with the administration on that. So too does President Trump and on Renee Good.”
Democrats quickly condemned Pretti’s shooting, with Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar calling it an “execution,” while party leaders urged President Donald Trump to halt U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement operations.
Investigations into Minnesota welfare fraud revealed that stolen funds helped finance the Somalia-based terrorist group al-Shabaab, prompting Trump to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in the state on Nov. 22, as federal officials estimated the scheme cost at least $9 billion and described it as “industrial-scale” fraud.
ICE deployed a large contingent of agents into the Minneapolis region after early reports surfaced, focusing enforcement efforts on Somali nationals in the country unlawfully. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey later said in a Dec. 7 television interview that city police would refuse to assist federal immigration actions.

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.
