Staff Reports
President Trump once again put the American military first while Democrats continue their reckless shutdown stunt. As the government grinds to a halt on Day Five, Trump is the only leader publicly promising to fight tooth and nail to make sure every single service member gets paid. No empty rhetoric here—he knows who carries the real burden of protecting this nation, and he refuses to let them suffer because the radical left won’t do their job.
Make no mistake: this shutdown is not some accidental hiccup. It’s a deliberate, Democrat-engineered crisis driven by their absurd priorities. While our troops report for duty day after day, the party of chaos pushes to hand out free health care to illegal aliens who flood across the border by the millions. Democrats want to reward lawbreakers with American resources, all while pretending they’re the champions of working families whose paychecks might get delayed if this shutdown drags on too long. The contrast couldn’t be starker: hardworking military families on the front lines, and illegal migrants getting government handouts.

The audacity of the left is breathtaking. While Trump calls for across-the-board pay raises for sailors, soldiers, and every servicemember, liberals double down on social programs for non-citizens. They deny it all, of course, spinning ridiculous lies about how no federal funds go to illegal immigrants—an outright insult to the intelligence of every patriotic American watching this meltdown. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats mock and dismiss legitimate concerns about their reckless policies, refusing to take responsibility for the chaos they’ve created at the border and beyond.
It’s clear who the real enemies of America are: those who exploit government shutdowns to force their dangerous agenda, who prioritize illegal aliens over our men and women in uniform, and who refuse to fund essential services just because they hate the Trump administration. Patriots see through this game. The military doesn’t get the luxury of refusing duty because Washington can’t get its act together. Trump is right to stand with the troops, making sure they are protected financially even as the Democrats hold the country hostage to their radical demands.
If Democrats truly cared about America’s future, they would stop punishing the very people who defend our freedom and start putting American citizens first. But as long as they’re more interested in rewarding lawlessness than securing our borders or paying our military, shutdowns like this will keep happening. So here’s the question every voter should be asking: why would anyone trust these left-wing extremists with the fate of our nation when they clearly despise the values that make America strong?
