On Saturday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article reporting that President Trump is attempting to make sure our military gets paid during the Sombrero Shutdown orchestrated by Senator Schumer.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump is taking steps to ensure that U.S. service members receive their paychecks next week despite the ongoing government shutdown, directing his administration to find and allocate available funds as congressional gridlock threatens military pay.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The government shutdown, now in<\/a>\u00a0its second week, began October 1 after Senate Democrats rejected multiple times a clean continuing resolution to maintain funding at prior levels. President Trump has consistently stated that essential national security personnel \u2014 including 1.3 million active-duty service members and hundreds of thousands of National Guard members \u2014 will remain on duty. However, congressional aides told Reuters that legislation must pass by Monday, October 13, for payroll to be processed in time for the standard mid-month pay date of October 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s post followed comments by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who told<\/a> Punchbowl News \u201cevery day gets better\u201d for Democrats during the shutdown. Trump responded, \u201cI DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of \u2018Leader\u2019 Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Despite these pressures, Senate Democrats have repeatedly voted to block a short-term funding bill that would reopen the government. Meanwhile, reports indicate<\/a> that several members of the Democratic caucus plan to attend a Napa Valley retreat hosted by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee set for Monday and Tuesday, October 13-14, prompting criticism from Republicans who contend the party is \u201cvacationing during a shutdown.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s latest action aims to bypass the impasse and ensure that military personnel are not left unpaid due to political disputes in Congress. \u201cThe Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT,\u201d he wrote, \u201cand then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A number of pundits have stated that they expect the shutdown to end after the No Kings protest on October 18. This is a left-wing paid protest with a goal of destabilizing America. The theory is that if the Democrats open the government before the protest, they will be among the people and things protested against. Please understand that the majority of the protesters are paid to protest. This i s not grass roots–it’s AstroTurf!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
