If you only listened to the Democrats, Republicans are keeping the Department of Homeland Security shut down because they want to send death squads out to murder American citizens randomly.
Senator Blumenthal (D-CT) suggests that ICE will shoot up airports & brutalize families there. https://t.co/YJw4F98pcW

Democratic Party leaders insist that it is Republicans who are voting to keep the TSA shut down, and now that Trump is going to send ICE into the airports to supplement TSA, they are even predicting shootouts in the terminals.
Hakeem Jeffries claims ICE will kill people at airports…

Of course this insane statement goes unchecked and unquestioned on CNN

Democrats are able to lie so shamelessly for one major reason: Pravda. Without air cover from the media, people might notice that the Democrats are lying about everything all the time.
Republicans once again killed TSA paychecks. There is no spinning this by Republicans.

TSA Agents and the Coast Guard working without pay because Republicans keep killing all efforts to pay TSA Agents. https://t.co/mPIQTxEf6D
Even the Democrat "reason" for keeping Homeland Security defunded is bogus: ICE is already funded, and what they are pushing for is the abolishment of ICE itself.
...Walkinshaw told CNN: "I think the President is going to start to feel a lot of pressure as we head into that spring break travel season” and he hopes that will “create a breakthrough for a deal”...

The Democrats' strategy is simple: create as much chaos and pain as possible, and heap all the blame on President Trump and the Republicans. The longer the lines, the more economic damage done, the better. It is the exact same playbook as the shutdown last fall, which lasted just until the off-year elections.
This is the entire DEM plan - inflict as much pain and chaos on the American people and then look at you with a straight face and say “gee whiz we have no idea how things got this bad must be Republicans crazy huh” https://t.co/U2QW8bf2lo

As I am doomed by my job to follow all this more closely than most, I swim in a sea of Democrat lies, and in some ways even worse, the efforts of Pravda propagandists to make Democrats look good as they harm ordinary Americans.
They are doing all of this for one reason, and one reason only: to keep every single illegal alien who entered America inside our borders.
145 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit sex crimes.

186 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit welfare fraud.

186 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit welfare fraud.

Democrats have literally never met an illegal alien that they didn't want to protect.
The party of the working class and government workers, who are so determined to keep the pain level as high as possible, is now angry that Elon Musk has offered to pay TSA workers during the shutdown. While some Democrats are proud that they are using Americans' pain as leverage, their leaders insist that isn't so.
Elon's offer to pay TSA workers and the Democrats' rejection expose that as a lie.
🚨BREAKING: Chuck Schumer is LOSING HIS MIND because Elon Musk is stepping up to pay TSA agents during the disastrous Democrat shutdown!

Even John Fetterman is praising Elon's "generous" move while blasting his own party for forcing workers to use food pantries.

The two big issues in Washington right now, at the legislative level, are funding the Department of Homeland Security and the SAVE Act. On both, the Democrats have done nothing but lie.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says that Trump simply “could hire out more TSA agents” to replace the ones that aren't showing up for work because they're not getting paid.

Just stop and think about that for a second. pic.twitter.com/QEF4HtZ44N
Since Elon Musk can't fund the TSA, perhaps he should spend the money he was offering on something that might work to break the logjam: commercials exposing the Democrats' lies. What the Democrats are doing is a campaign ploy, so treat it like one.
Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
