On Monday night, Scott Jennings asked a simple question to a CNN panel, and it got me thinking. And what I thought about was quite disturbing.
The Department of Homeland Security has been shut down since Presidents' Day weekend. Democrats triggered it, and they've kept it going as a pressure campaign against the Trump administration's deportation agenda, specifically to hamstring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and use that as a cudgel to force policy changes in enforcement, most of which are absurd.
The Senate voted three separate times on DHS funding bills, and each time, Democrats blocked them — every single one, with the lone exception of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).
And now, we're at war with Iran. That hasn’t changed the Democrats’ calculus one bit, and when you look at the full picture of what’s going on, some uncomfortable questions come to mind.
"But does anyone here believe that we should keep the Department of Homeland Security — that's the name of it — indefinitely shut down to try to force ICE policy changes on an agency that's already funded until 2029,” Jennings asked.
He didn't stop there.
"When you acknowledge there are sleeper cells, when we all see radical Islamic terrorists throwing IEDs in New York City, when we saw a radical Muslim terrorist shoot up a bar in Austin, when we had tornadoes in Oklahoma and Michigan this weekend, when we have TSA lines of five hours in airports, we have all these things going on. Is it even remotely reasonable to keep it closed?”
No. Obviously not. But the more important question isn't whether it's reasonable. The question is why Democrats are doing it anyway, and whether it’s intentional.

That's where it gets uncomfortable. If this shutdown can't actually stop ICE, and Democrats know it, then what's the real play here?
The answer that keeps surfacing is a dark one. Democrats may be keeping DHS dark precisely because they see political opportunity in the chaos that may follow. Are Democrats counting on sleeper cells to activate and carry out attacks? Are Democrats counting on natural disasters to happen without the government being able to adequately respond?
After 9/11, the country unified behind President George W. Bush virtually overnight. You know as well as I do that won’t happen again if there’s another large-scale attack. Democrats know this, and appear to be acting accordingly. Not funding DHS won’t stop ICE, but it could make it harder to stop another large-scale attack. If that happens, Democrats won't rally around the flag. They'll point fingers at Trump.
The question is whether that’s the entire purpose behind the refusal to fund DHS.
Cry treason.
Democrats are despicable and full of hate.
The democrats are on the side of Iranian mullahs. They want the sleeper cells to wreck havoc on America.
It’s so typical of a filthy scumbag democrat.

Dems will do anything to regain power. I’m quite sure they await the inevitable terrorist attack with bated breath. It would be seen by them as an opportunity.
They want an incident to blame on Trump.
Absolutely. The left mines for chaos because it allows them to advance their political agenda while redistributing any funding to their own pockets.
The whole Democrat point is “NO DEFENCE”. Let the crooks come in and ransack us.
Democrats would rather rule over ashes than govern a functioning Republic
Filibuster.
End it now!
just like their god Satan.
Seems like this would be the perfect opportunity for Trump to call out the National Guard.

Would they really sink that low? Sadly, I think they would.
Hmmm, maybe like Cloward-Piven x 10?
Well, couldn't it become unlikely to succeed because (my guess) DJT and the GOPers can get out in front of it, and expose/allege the horrible strategy before it gets too awful?
“After 9/11, the country unified behind President George W. Bush virtually overnight. You know as well as I do that won’t happen again if there’s another large-scale attack.”
.
If there’s another large-scale attack the progs are probably in on it, fed the attackers intel and notified CNN so they can “document Republican treason” or some such BS.
.
You can bet they have signs and talking points ready to go on a moments notice.
For anyone here who listens to shortwave, a Persian language numbers station has popped up on 7910. You have to wonder, are they messaging sleeper cells, Democrats, or both.
The Secret Service is also part of DHS. Who does the Secret Service protect? They want Donald Trump to be assassinated? Who sent te golf course guy? Who sent the Butler stooge?
Because these shutdowns negatively affect the economy in a big way, it slows the great progress President Trump has made. With mediocre progress in affordability, the DemonKKKrats have a chance to gain the majority in the midterms. And that is the fact no one is talking about!
