You want to know why we are having all this trouble with the TSA?<\/span><\/p>\n

One word: Democrats.<\/span><\/p>\n

The standoff over the funding of the Department of Homeland Security, including TSA, continues. People are waiting for hours at airports because of it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>NPR<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Transportation Security Administration is experiencing the longest wait times ever in its 24-year history because of the ongoing partial shutdown, the agency\u2019s deputy administrator, Ha Nguyen McNeill, told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Wait times at some major airports have exceeded four hours, and employees at those airports are calling out of work at rates of 40% to 50%, McNeill told members of the committee. If this partial government shutdown continues into Friday, TSA will have missed almost $1 billion in paychecks since it began, McNeill said. \u2026<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

McNeill thanked Trump for sending ICE agents to some major airports, \u201cenabling TSA officers to focus on carrying out critical security screening duties during this challenging time for our agency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

TSA may have to close smaller airports due to understaffing, she said, and she worried the agency will continue to lose officers to more steady jobs and fail to attract new talent.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is crazy town. It\u2019s insanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DailyWire+\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s happening because Democrats have decided that posturing over ICE is more important than basic safety standards and citizen protections all over the United States.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Senate majority leader John Thune is not wrong when he says that Democrats seem to believe that the current shutdown is good for their left-wing base. For them, it\u2019s all about politics, and it always has been.<\/span><\/p>\n

In last fall\u2019s shutdown by the Democrats, the whole government was shut down for 46 days. Remember Chuck Schumer saying, \u201cEvery day gets better for us\u201d? <\/span>Now you have Hawaii senator Brian Schatz, a member of the Democrat leadership in this shutdown, saying. \u201cWe are very serene.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all playing politics and has been from the beginning. They think this is really good with their base. Their left-wing base won\u2019t take yes for an answer, and so the Democrats won\u2019t either. <\/span>But they\u2019re going to have to, because at some point, people will realize that it is the Democrats who are blockading and have been blockading funding to the Department of Homeland Security.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is very simple. The Democrats are shutting down the Department of Homeland Security. Everyone knows this. All they have to do is pass a clean funding bill for DHS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, Democrats seem to think they can insult their way to political victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel randomly insulted the new DHS secretary, Markwayne Mullin, for the great crime of being a plumber, which is a weird take from Jimmy Kimmel, who was a shock-jock radio sports guy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was informed that it\u2019s good that AOC was a bartender, but it\u2019s bad that a senator who is now running DHS was a plumber?<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Democrats are going even harder than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Johnson, the ridiculous mayor of Chicago, debuted his own snowplow truck festooned with a banner stating \u201cAbolish ICE,\u201d because he\u2019s abolishing genuine ice, but he also wants to abolish ICE.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Genius-level politicking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rep. Thomas Suozzi is arguing for full-scale legalization of illegal immigrants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Democrats seem to believe that illegal immigrants roaming free is more important than you being able to get to your plane on time.<\/span><\/p>\n

How pathetic is the Left on these issues?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Loyola University of Chicago student newspaper \u2014the campus newspaper of murdered student Sheridan Gorman \u2014 issued a formal apology for calling her murderer an illegal immigrant.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not kidding. She was murdered, and the student newspaper stated, \u201cIn the body of the original post, we describe the man who was charged as an illegal immigrant using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That language does not align with the Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper. No human\u2019s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that. We acknowledge the harm such language can cause, and the power and importance of the words we choose to use.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ridiculous.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one says that a human\u2019s existence is illegal. But the term is not illegal <\/span>human.<\/span><\/i> The term is <\/span>illegal immigrant<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are more concerned about the terminology used to address illegal immigration than they are about the fact that an illegal immigrant allegedly murdered one of their students.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Democrats aren\u2019t just defending illegal immigration. They\u2019re defending crime wholesale.<\/span><\/p>\n

A couple of years ago, we visited the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, which was basically an open-air fentanyl market, one of the most horrifying things I\u2019ve ever seen in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner is threatening to prosecute IRS agents.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how crazy Democrats are. They believe that ICE agents ought to be prosecuted, but illegal immigrants ought not, and you should wait in line at the airport because of this.<\/span><\/p>\n

The open lawbreaking in Philadelphia and the open anti-Americanism are astonishing. Pro-Iran, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist protesters in Philadelphia even openly celebrated the killing of American troops.<\/span><\/p>\n

For many of these folks, the lawbreaking is the point. The anti-Americanism is the point.<\/span><\/p>\n

It makes you wonder on a broader level: Why do so many people in the Democratic Party seem so sanguine about a wide-open border, about importing people that we can\u2019t vet, about allowing the taxpayer to pay for all these bills?<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is that a lot of the people in the Democratic Party are <\/span>totally fine<\/span><\/i> with anti-Americanism. They like anti-Americanism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ilhan Omar, another immigrant we never should have admitted to the United States, showed her wild hatred for America and our allies, ranting:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ve lived through war. I know it is not a game. It is never a one-time cost. It cannot be reduced to a soundbite by politicians who have no regard for the cost of human life when it comes to warfare. War is not paid for a dollar alone. It is paid in the lives of young Americans who we sent to fight this war.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her pretending that she gives a damn about American soldiers is really galling. This is a woman who wrote a letter of support to a judge for a person who tried to join ISIS. This is a woman who said \u201csomething happened to some people\u201d regarding 9\/11.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ilhan Omar has yet to find a terrorist group she cannot find some sort of excuse for.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of this, of course, is part and parcel of a third-world strategy to undermine the United States. It suggests that people suffering in the Third World are the fault of the United States, and thus the United States must pay.<\/span><\/p>\n

And all of this falls under the rubric of the Democratic Party not giving a damn about Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
