The Drudge Report blasted out its breaking news siren on Friday, reporting that an agreement has been reached to end the government shutdown.
Matt Drudge‘s high-trafficked news aggregator reported that according to a source, a shutdown agreement has been reached, and that an announcement is set for 1 p.m.
“SOURCE: SHUTDOWN AGREEMENT REACHED,” the Drudge headline blared. “ANNOUNCEMENT SET FOR 1 PM.”
“GOVT TO REOPEN ‘TEMPORARILY’,” it added.
The nearly six-week government shutdown appeared set to continue after two measures to reopen the government — one that would fund President Donald Trump’s border wall, and one did not — failed in the Senate on Friday.
CBS News reported shortly after that Trump is “expected to announce Friday he’ll back a move to reopen the government for a few weeks” at the White House.
CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett reported that Trump is expected to support a continuing resolution that would reopen the government “for a few weeks,” while the debate over a border wall continues.
This story is breaking…
No wall. Dems win. Sonovabitch...
The Republican Party does NOT want a wall..otherwise it would have been done in Trump’s first year in office..they want open borders..they proved that yesterday by some RINOS voting for the Democrat Bill..they want open borders for cheap labor..odds are we are not getting a wall, Trump tried, the swamp is TOO full and he had no idea how infested it really is
The goal is a border barrier to help us regain some order and rule of law in this country, not indulge our fantasies regarding the federal workforce.
Agreed. If Trump allows this, we're done and so is he.
2020 is fast approaching, No Wall, No Re-Election.
Your children and grandchildren are screwed as Congress puts the costs of illegal immigrants onto the debt which will have to be paid and serviced by generations to follow.
The only way a wall gets done is by executive powers. Period.
Maybe Trump sees the writing on the wall..look at what America has become..the left threatening to kill CHILDREN for wearing MAGA hats..this country is doomed, maybe he’s done even trying
To Hell with them!
Burn the Republican Party to the ground!!!

We’ll see in a few minutes. I do know Fox News Propaganda Network is complaining that Trump must “open the government” non-stop.
Big mistake unless there is money for the wall. You’re word has to mean something
Maybe he wants out after seeing the interworking’s of Gov and realizes it must be broken before it can be fixed..
Graham is getting his three weeks.
Let’s see if his claim is true that they will be all suddenly be able to negotiate in good faith now that the government is running again.
I don’t buy it for a second.
You don’t need the government to be running for politicians to get off their ass and do their jobs
Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Alexander..etc etc etc..if the GOP wanted the wall they had TWO years when they controlled EVERYTHING to get it..they could have done it with a 51 vote majority in the Senate, they did NOT do it because they want open borders for cheap labor
He never apologized for those Dems Lies .
Drudge is in the enemy camp .
In 2018 , he broadcast all the lies and phony polls from the Left wing media against Desantis .
I dont trust the South Beach Gay Never Trumper .
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
exactly.
it has never been necessary “to re-open” government in order to negotiate a settlement.
every branch of gummit required to work out a settlement has been open all along: house, senate, and POTUS office.
Listen here, petunia....you should be waking up each morning thanking God above that we don't have President Clinton.
President Trump is fighting as hard as he can - he is one person. He has already done amazing things for this country.
What have you done for our country lately?
Drudge is just copying CBS and CNN news. CNN had this as Breaking News yesterday. And it didn’t happen.
I pray that Trump DOES NOT cave in today. His best option is to declare a National Emergency and send in the Military.
Stand Firm!
Burn the Republican Party to the ground!!!

If I spit on them, I’d regret wasting the saliva.
They’re just as bad as the RAT left and their complete disinterest and inability to get the wall done is what’s brought us to this point.
