Trump Abruptly Cancels Meeting With Top
Democrats Citing Their ‘Unserious And
Ridiculous’ Demands

President Donald Trump canceled a meeting with top Democrats on Tuesday, arguing that Republicans could not agree to their “unserious and ridiculous demands” to fund the government eight days away from a likely partial shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent a joint letter to Trump on Saturday requesting a meeting to discuss funding the government ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline. Trump cast doubt on whether he would be able to agree to Democrats’ demands for policy concessions in exchange for their votes on funding the government, but indicated that a meeting with party leaders could still happen.

Comments:

The reptilian Upchuck and his comrade were going to try and the POTUS into a trap, no doubt. It’s worked perfectly well in the past, with the MSM's help of course I say shut the government dow. “Schumer shutdown” has a nice, alliterative ring to it.

It appears to me there is actually only one democrat seated in Congress. John Fetterman. I am not sure what you call the others. Democratic socialist wanna be communists? Trump is right. It would be a waste of time.

Good for him. They had arrogantly "demanded" this meetijng. Their outrageous padding of the bill to keep the government running already showed their "unserious" attitude.

Shut it down. I dont care who they blame it on, just do it. Then maybe the public will see just how little they are really doing since it wont effect most people at all. Besides, I was in the military and worked for a federal agency after that. Except for a few secretaries and grounds care people, everyone is mission essential and stays on. Those who do get furloughed get paid later anyway. They are saber rattling with rubber swords.

It was a ploy to blame Trump for any shutdown. If he met with Schumer and Jeffries and didn't agree to their terms, they would then be able to blame Trump for a shutdown. The Republicans have come to an agreement. As it now stands, the shutdown will be the fault of the Democrats for making such ridiculous demands that the Republicans had better sense than to go along with.

Lure Trump into a meeting. Make impossible demands. Then turn around and blame him when the government shuts down. The MSM is always there to back them up. Unfortunately for them PDT wasn’t born yesterday!

I'm sure Trump has a recording of what Chuckie Schumer and HakeeSack Jefferies said. WHAT they said is they were attempting to get Trump to perpetrate a FRAUD on the Taxpayers. That alone should throw both Chuckie and HakeeSack in PRISON!

Chuck Schumer threatens a government shutdown when the Dems are in the minority, but abhors it when they are in the majority. Trump is right to ignore them both.

Pre-Trump Republicans would have been wringing their hands, crying in the closet and wondering how far they would be forced to go to please the almighty democrat leadership to avoid a shutdown. The thought of closing down the national parks, idling hundreds of "government workers" and closing down local department of agriculture offices terrified them.

It’s not just ideas that have consequences. Words have consequences, too. Henry II is said to have made the famous remark above in 1170, which prompted four knights to travel to Canterbury and slay Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Many centuries later, Mark Twain remarked, “The past does not repeat itself, but it rhymes”—a bit of an allegorical mystery, at which Twain was a master. So we look for a pattern. It is worth examining a plethora of quotes from today’s politicians that echo Henry the Second’s remark, and hardly allegorically. Today, Charlie Kirk is just as dead as Thomas Becket.

Barack Obama is such a soulless fraud. He’s spent the last week trying to downplay the significance of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. First, he pretended that the motive behind Charlie’s murder was impossible to ascertain. Then he blamed President Trump for welcoming “extremism” into the White House. Finally, he insinuated that Charlie was a racist and at least partially responsible for his own death. As always, America’s foremost “divider in chief” excels at rubbing salt in gaping wounds. The Soros network of NGOs must have recently sent out marching orders instructing Democrats to speak favorably of Obama’s presidency because every prominent Donkey Party politician has tried to rewrite Obama’s divisive reign

Earlier this month a British academic named Michael Rainsborough wrote an insightful essay on the United Kingdom’s descent towards civil war. Once the head of the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, Rainsborough was dismissed from his post for committing a series of “thought crimes.” His final offense came in the form of a co-authored essay entitled, “The British Road to Dirty War,” in which he and former colleague David Betz diagramed “the hollowing out of British democratic institutions” and the dangerous rule of a permanent governing class filled with authoritarian elites. Now working in Australia, Rainsborough returns to the subject with additional wisdom

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced Friday morning during a joint press conference with the FBI that law enforcement had taken Tyler Robinson into custody in connection with the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The arrest comes 33 hours after the deadly shooting at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot during a public appearance. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him,” Cox told reporters in a solemn briefing. He explained that the breakthrough came after a family member of Robinson reached out to authorities on the evening of Sept. 11.

The suspect alleged to have assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been identified and is in custody, according to the FBI. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox participated in a press briefing with FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” Cox declared. The governor explained that “a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washignton County Sheriff’s office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.” Cox further explained that Robinson arrived on the Utah Valley University campus, where the shooting occurred at about 8:29 a.m., in a grey Dodge Challenger.

Somehow a Glock and Code Pink were allowed within close proximity of the President. It’s astonishing to me that these kinds of failures have happened given POTUS’s well-known brushes with death. Somebody -- multiple somebodies -- need to be fired and fired stat. First, the Glock. It happened at Trump’s Virginia golf course where a “Trump National club member was able to carry [it] into the club in Sterling, Va. while Trump was golfing there last week even though a USSS Uniformed Division officer had screened the bag by hand and wanded the man carrying it.” How, how is that possible?

Charlie Kirk is no longer with us. The conservative activist, host, and founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, today. He was 31. He leaves behind his wife, Erika, and two children. A shooter took a single shot, striking Kirk in the neck. The footage is ghastly. He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive. As condolences and thoughts and prayers pour in, you can leave it to MSNBC to peddle gun control and other personal attacks on Kirk, who promoted freedom

Under Joe Biden, or whoever was running the country between 2021 and 2024, over 470,000 unaccompanied migrant children waltzed into the country. Many of these kids promptly vanished into a bureaucratic black hole. Since then, in a move both heroic and horrifyingly necessary, the Trump administration has located over 22,000 of these kids, arrested 400 traffickers, and uncovered the grim reality that 27 children met tragic ends through murder, overdose, or suicide. Yes, Epstein’s operation was a master class in depravity, but Biden’s border policies might just take the cake, and it’s a moldy, taxpayer-funded one at that.

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether or not President Trump’s tariffs will stand. On September 3, Trump’s Solicitor General asked the court to expedite its review of the case “to the maximum extent feasible” because the case’s presence on its docket was interfering with international negotiations. In a Labor Day news conference, President Trump’s top trade and manufacturing policy advisor Peter Navarro discussed the upcoming case. The key issue will be whether Trump’s tariffs qualify under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Navarro argued that Trump has been using tariffs to address not just one, but three different emergencies:

In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity.

The automaker has doubled down on gas models and, according to the governor, lobbied state officials to roll back California’s landmark clean car law.

Concerned with the exodus of oil and gas companies, refinery closures and the expensive price of gasoline in the state, California Gov.

Roy Cooper, the leading Democrat for North Carolina's open Senate seat in 2026, says one of his major "accomplishments" as the state's governor was the creation of a "racial equity" task force that pushed to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes. That policy led to the release of career criminal Decarlos Brown not long before he senselessly murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway train. A Cooper campaign website highlights his creation of the Governor's Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice in June 2020 as one of his major "accomplishments" during his service as North Carolina's governor from 2017 to 2025.
