What Do Democrats And Nancy Guthrie’s Kidnappers Have In Common?

Why are these so-called "journalists" not disgusted with the bizarre collection of cartoon characters making up the Democrat Party? TD

Issues & Insights 

  "So, in short, Democrats are willing to hold the entire nation, not just one elderly woman, hostage, and put every U.S. citizen at risk. All to protect non-U.S. citizens who are in the country illegally!?!?!?"


"As the FBI scrambles to find Nancy Guthrie’s abductors, Democrats in Congress are preparing their own kind of kidnapping. Except, instead of one victim, they want to hold the entire country hostage.

"After shutting the government down for a record 43 days last fall in the vain hope of keeping “temporary” Obamacare subsidies in place, the once respectable political party has now decided on an even more bizarre and disturbing kidnapping scheme.

"It plans to hold funding for the Department of Homeland Security hostage if it can’t convince Republicans to agree to ICE “reforms.”

"Except that, while Immigration and Customs Enforcement is housed in the DHS, Republicans secured funding for ICE as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. So, the shutdown won’t have any effect on deportations.

"What it will have an effect on are things such as:

  • Protecting the American people from terrorist threats
  • Safeguarding cyberspace
  • Running airport security
  • Operating the Coast Guard
  • Handling responses to natural disasters

"Oh, and shutting down DHS will also harm the processing of applications for work permits, green cards, naturalization, and asylum for legal immigrants.

"Pressed on these points by the Daily Signal, Democrats brushed off the concerns.

When The Daily Signal asked about the impact a shutdown would have on FEMA and TSA specifically, Democrats did not seem concerned.

Rep. Shri Thandar, D-Mich., who serves on the committee alongside Guest and Pfluger, said he is actually willing to leverage FEMA funding for Republicans to meet their demands. ‘That’s the leverage that we have,’ he told the Daily Signal. 

‘I would like Democratic leaders to stay firm and get some concessions that are meaningful … We should use every leverage that we have,’ Thandar concluded.
