DHS Is Defunded During a War, and Media Doesn't Care One Bit

Improvised terrorist attacks from Islamists are beginning to hit, as Iran supporters get frustrated by the success of Operation Epic Fury. 

So far, it seems that the attacks are coming from frustrated individuals, not terror cells, but even if the terror cells don't materialize, the danger from Islamists is acute.

So what do the Democrats do? They shut down the Department of Homeland Security because they are having a hissy fit over Trump's deporting pedophiles and rapists. 

Seriously. The Department of Homeland Security is currently operating without funding, and the strain is beginning to show. 

Two Islamists attack a demonstration in New York City, and instead of reporting this as an Islamist terrorist attack, Pravda is trying to turn it into an Islamophobic attack on Zohran Mamdani. 

You can't make this up. The Democrats and the media appear to be coordinating with each other to ensure that some terrorist or another will succeed in killing Americans, so they can blame it on Trump.

I know that sounds nuts, but how can you explain the fact that the Democrats are, in the midst of a war with a radical Islamic regime that has told everybody that they have terrorist cells planted throughout the West, hobbling the Department of Homeland Security? 

Today, travelers are facing TSA lines up to NEARLY 3 HOURS LONG at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel.

This chaos is a direct result of Democrats and their refusal to fund DHS. Their political stunt is forcing patriotic TSA officers to work without pay — leading to financial hardship, absences, and crippling staffing shortages.

Enough is enough: stop holding national security and everyday Americans hostage. Democrats must fund DHS NOW.

The media is letting them skate without criticism or holding their feet to the fire to answer why this isn't a danger to Americans, just as they are blaming the attack on pro-American activists on Islamophobia. 

Yep. Islamophobes are screaming "God is Great" in Arabic because they are Islamophobic. 

All it would take is seven Democrats to break the filibuster to get the DHS funded again, but we can't even find them because the party apparently wants to harm Americans so they can blame Trump. 

Republicans need to start running advertisements in selected states, blasting the Democrats for putting us all at risk. 

The media won't do its job. It's time for the Republicans to do theirs.

UPDATE: FBI cleared the threat at the Kansas City Airport

An update on the earlier threat at Kansas City International Airport:

@FBI and our law enforcement partners quickly responded to the scene and secured the area. The threat was reviewed and determined not to be credible. Terminal has been swept, cleared, and normal operations resumed. 

Thank you to our federal partners at @USDOT and @SecDuffy for the coordination and quick response. 

Threats like these are a federal crime. FBI and law enforcement partners will fully investigate and bring to justice anyone responsible.
