  1. So the reason TSA is shutdown is out of control ICE agents, so way to make this issue to go away is to deploy those same out of control ICE agents to airports?

    I’m glad this guy isn’t in charge of our foreign policy…

    1. Hey Matt, if the government doesn’t need young men to register for the draft any longer, if they know exactly who they are without any action on the men’s part … how exactly can that same government turn around and claim they must show a passport or birth certificate to vote?

      I’ll believe Indiana Republicans care about voter fraud just as soon they get rid of the Indiana Secretary of State who was caught committing voter fraud … as opposed to putting him in charge of elections for the entire state.

    2. Hope the mods do something about Matt, he’s using way too much CAPS lock. It’s also funny that he thinks the SAVE Act isn’t going to disenfranchise a huge portion of the MAGAt base that is so scared of other countries they haven’t bothered to get a passport and can’t find their birth certificate bc they haven’t cleaned out their trailer since the 90’s. The blue wave is inevitable

    3. Micheal N.
      The Save Act will not disenfranchise anyone from voting.
      It only requires a Passport or a birth certificate to register to vote.
      Then a piece ID to vote.

      The vast majority of Americans do support the Save Act.

      Dems are always on the wrong side on voting issues. A typical 80/20 with the Dems on the 20 side.

      Example : The Georgia voting law changes did not discriminate against anyone. In fact black voters voted in record numbers and percentages.
      Yet Dems were screaming Jim Crow 2.0. The Dems could not find one person that was disenfranchised from voting.

    4. Kansas passed a law in 2011 requiring proof of citizenship. Nearly 31,000 people were unable to vote, or about 12% of the population. The law was finally struck down by a judge in 2018.

      That sure sounds like somebody not being able to vote because they were unable to provide proof of citizenship.

      By the way, Indiana is one of 38 states that has not implemented the Real ID system in such a way that it counts as proof of citizenship, and only 37% of Hoosiers have a passport. It should be easy to see that the SAVE act is going to be a disaster for most Hoosier voters.

    5. Dan M.

      The Save Act only requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.
      In this day and age a passport or birth
      Certificate to register to vote is a 80/20 issue.

      Voter ID is required at polling stations is not unreasonable. An 85/15issue also.

      You need proof of ID for many things to function in our modern society.

      Last, You mentioned that a judge ruled against the Kansas voting law in 2011. I don’t know anything about the
      Kansas law, so I can not speak to that.

      I do NOT agree with nationalizing election rules and laws. That clearly should be left to the states.
      But remember, the Dems wanted nationalized election rules and laws before Trumps election.

      We had massive illegal imigration during the Biden Administration. In fact many Dems are pushing for migrants to vote. And in some jurisdictions migrants are voting in local elections.

    6. Oh wow I didn’t realize we only needed our passport or birth certificate to REGISTER to vote. Wow, that really fixes the issue. Hey Keith, it doesn’t matter at what point in the process those docs are needed. A huge segment of the population doesn’t have them and will be disenfranchised as a result. Confront reality.

  2. Hillary-ous. Lame stream media still carrying water for antifa/dems.

    This is a dem shutdown.

    Dems are making their tax-paying bosses less safe. Ridiculous!

    1. Pete… your dude has control of all 3 branches of government and can’t keep the lights on. Blame the Dems all day, it’s all you can do, but the Dems are too weak to do anything. This is self inflicted.

    2. There is a long history of deeply unserious people in these parts who take the names of Republican “leaders” out of some sort of tribute.

      I recall the one who claimed that Trump was a populist and cared about voters, not corporations. Doesn’t seem to post any longer, can’t figure out why.

    1. Brent B.
      FOX and NEWSMAX are very biased to the right. More so now than in the past.

      But make no mistake, the legacy broadcast National News media is equally biased for the left and the Dems. In fact they are not just liberal but many are leftist.

      The vast majority of the national print news media is also heavily biased to the left and the Dems.

      Think back to the whole George Floyd / BLM movement. The Legacy National News Media completely completely let the racial leftwing activist dictate the stories without doing any investigative journalism.
      * Something with the whole Russia Collusion.
      In fact many journalist were taking their talking points from the Dems.
      Other Journalist felt it was OK to abandon journalistic standards when it came to Trump in his first administration.

      The leftist have no right to cast stones. They live in a glass house.

    2. Lmao the cops were found guilty of murder and the Mueller files concluded that Russia did interfere in our elections and Trump welcomed it. Reporting facts is not partisan and only right wing media treats it that way.

    3. Micheal N.

      The Muller report proved nothing.
      The report that came out after was more accurate.
      There was NO EVIDENCE that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election. The accusation of Trump colluding with Russia was completely fabricated under the Obama administration in conjunction with members of our national security organizations.

      Yes, George Floyd was murdered.
      However, there was NO epidemic of Black men being hunted & murdered by the police. That was a lie! The leftist activists were making wild accusations that were false and the Dems and their allies in the National news media never pushed back.

      The facts were and still are that around 10 unarmed black men were killed by the police the year of George Floyd.
      Police shootings by race.
      Blacks – just under 25%
      Whites and Hispanics close to 75%

      Unarmed killed by the police were pretty much the same percentages.

      Remember, unarmed doesn’t mean the victims were not fighting or resisting the police. In the vast majority of cases had the victims cooperated with the police they would still be alive & well.

      But leftists national news media doesn’t want you to know that.

  3. Inferring from several the comments here, I’m not sure some people are aware why DHS is not being funded. The sticking point on the budget is that those “libs” want ICE to operate like normal law enforcement officers. They want them to operate with body cameras. They want them to follow constitutional rules when deciding who to arrest. These are simple rules like having constitutional probable cause and having a warrant from the judicial branch of government before you break down doors and snatch people. I think the biggest sticking point is that these officers shouldn’t be allowed to operate like secret police with cobbled together uniforms, no identifying markings, and not allowed to operate.

    I’m sorry, the irony of deploying Trump‘s private militia to replace TSA agents is hilarious. If anything, it will create more chaos in the airports, and I believe more Americans who understand the constitution will stand up and oppose this growing fascism.

    1. Dan M
      Many things that I disagree with Trump on.
      But dumping all over ICE is not appropriate either. People calling them facist and Nazi is completely inappropriate and over the top wrong. Over all these men and women are trying very hard to enforce our nations laws that they swore to protect.

      I hope you and others also have similar outrage with the antics of Antifa and all of the other Leftwing radicals agitating, insulting, spitting, and even attacking ICE agents.

      Does that mean that all ICE agents have acted within the law or their training?? NO!

      My biggest critique is with Steven Miller’s policies and him establishing quotas. FIRE Stephen Miller and stop the quotas.
      Primarily go after the violent crimes, and gang members.

    2. They’re fascists, Keith. There are a myriad of examples showing this. YOU just can’t accept reality bc it would mean admitting you supported the fascist.

    3. Like Trump literally just used the social media platform that he owns to call democrats the country’s greatest enemy now that Iran is “defeated” (they aren’t.) Like, have y’all looked up what a fascist is recently? It isn’t just a buzz word. It fits him and his administration to the letter.

    4. Micheal N.

      ICE are not the fascist. Are there ICE agents that have acted inappropriately?? YES!

      ICE wears masks for a very good reason. Tell the Antifa pukes to remove their masks, then you can demand ICE do the same.

      I’m sure ICE has no problem with wearing body cams. Why would they??
      LMAO!! “ The blame America First Crowd “ video every move every second. These people hate any kind of law enforcement and will everything humanly possible to get them fired. Ruin their careers.
      However, you don’t see the video of these people not peacefully protesting. I’ve seen tons of video of these leftists acting very aggressive towards ICE agents.
      These are NOT peaceful protestors!
      ** Ice agents overall have showed amazing self restraint.**

      The agitators are allowed to run amuck and riot.

      Micheal, if support Antifa, then you support fascism. OWN it!!

  4. The better solution would be for airports to make interest-free monthly loans to the TSA personnel, which would then be repaid to the airport when the workforce receives their back pay.

    1. That would be a possibility.
      The TSA agents will get receive full back pay once this is settled.
      Unfortunately many can not hold out that long without assistance.
