When it comes to striking a deal to pay the people who keep us safe, Congressional Democrats<\/a> just won’t take yes for an answer.<\/p>\n

Just a month ago, they were demanding that ICE pull out of Minnesota and that Department of Homeland Security<\/a> Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a>Kristi Noem be fired<\/a> before they could vote to fund the agency. Now, with Noem gone and ICE pulling back from Minneapolis, Democrats would seem to have gotten what they wanted. So why are Senate Minority Chuck Schumer<\/a> and his House counterpart Hakeem Jeffries continuing to punish their constituents through this lingering partial government shutdown?<\/p>\n

In particular, how can refusing to pay the people who keep our airports safe be justified when we are at war with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorim in the world?<\/p>\n

Sadly, though not surprisingly, the answer is pure politics.<\/p>\n

DHS SHUTDOWN MAY DELAY US TERROR RESPONSE AMID IRAN CONFLICT, EXPERT WARNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Make no mistake, the removal of Noem was a serious concession from President Donald Trump<\/a>. This is, after all, the woman who spearheaded the almost total shutdown of the southern border, arguably, the president\u2019s top achievement.<\/p>\n

As to the aggressive ICE tactics used in Minneapolis, while they were generally unpopular, a strong number of voters in the MAGA base didn\u2019t think they went far enough. So yes, Noem\u2019s scalp was, in some ways, a peace offering.<\/p>\n

You would think that Democratic leadership<\/a> would be doing a choreographed end zone dance on the National Mall over this victory, but instead, they are still telling TSA agents, “Sorry, you can\u2019t get paid yet, we like how things are trending.”<\/p>\n

TWO SHOOTINGS INTENSIFY DHS STANDOFF AS GOP WARNS OF RISING TERROR THREATS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The only relatively serious demand that Democrats have left, and I\u2019m stretching the term to its limit here, is to have agents unmasked. This can\u2019t happen because of documented incidents of doxxing, but offers have been made to use ID numbers.<\/p>\n

In short, the only real obstacle that the Democrats can point to on the way to restoring funding<\/a> is themselves.<\/p>\n

As to why the Democrats are so intransigent in the face of growing calls to open up the government and more security lines at our airports, I regret to inform you that the answer is nothing but craven politics.<\/p>\n

STEVE SCALISE RIPS DEMOCRATS FOR ‘PLAYING POLITICAL GAMES’ WITH DHS SHUTDOWN AMID IRAN THREAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A year ago, Schumer made clear that his goal was to get Trump\u2019s approval under 42% by the midterms. It’s almost there, and the reason why remains the shutdown of last year that was a major success for Democrats.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 1, when the shutdown started Trump\u2019s approval was at 46%. By the end of the shutdown, it was down to 43%, and he had gone from a net of -6 to -12. With a few chutes and ladders along the way, that number has never recovered.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Democrats netted governorships in New Jersey<\/a> and Virginia, while installing a communist as mayor of New York City. So yes, Democrats and the far Left won the last shutdown, decisively.<\/p>\n

TSA WORKERS BRACE FOR MISSED PAYCHECKS AS DEMOCRATS HOLD FIRM ON DHS FUNDING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The difference today, obviously, is that we are now at war, and have, in just the past week, seen no less than four suspected radical Muslim terror attacks in our nation, at least since the last time I checked.<\/p>\n

Let’s go back to some basics for a moment. The agency whose funding is being held up here is quite literally called the “Department of Homeland Security.” It’s right there in the name. Not paying them is like playing in the Super Bowl and not funding your offensive line.<\/p>\n

It seems pretty clear that Congressional Democrats don\u2019t care if a few Americans wind up dying in preventable terror attacks. After all, they know that most of the media will just blame Trump, anyway.<\/p>\n

COAST GUARD CAUGHT AS \u2018COLLATERAL DAMAGE\u2019 IN DEMOCRATS’ DHS SHUTDOWN AS CHINA, RUSSIA PRESS US WATERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Democrats’ obstinance here should also be considered in regard to the other great debate in Congress, whether to break the Senate filibuster to pass the Save America Act, as Trump is demanding.<\/p>\n

If Democrats won\u2019t take the win on DHS, if they are willing to punish TSA agents and put the nation at risk to score political points there, then how can they be trusted partners in a filibuster process<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The filibuster assumes, and only works if, senators are acting in good faith. But Schumer and his radicals are not doing that. They are using it like sand thrown in the gears of government to sabotage any and all progress.<\/p>\n

For Trump\u2019s part, what the White House<\/a> needs to continue to point out is that Democrats got what they wanted and are still willing to harm the country in the hopes of a demoralized American electorate handing them power in November.<\/p>\n

What Democrats are doing is despicable, dishonest and dishonorable. What’s even worse is that it just might be working.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
