Did Not Hold Back

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/25/2026 2:19:44 PM

CNN on Wednesday interviewed a TSA union representative who blasted Congress for failing to reach a funding deal for the Department of Homeland Security, leaving TSA agents and other federal employees without pay for more than 40 days. The representative described how she and her colleagues are scraping by, skipping meals, stretching every dollar, and explained why many TSA agents are no longer showing up for work. [Tweet, video] "My in-laws also work for the agency. So even the people that we could have probably asked for some sort of money or some sort of help, they're also on the same position where they cannot help,"

Frankly, I'm surprised that Chicken Noodle News actually aired this!!

The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for this but they have so many other things to be ashamed of that this is small potato's for them. Still, It's a damned shameful situation. TDS has done this.

Complaining won't do any good. The democraps just don't care. It's all about power and stopping Trump. The taxpayers and people who work don't matter to them.

TSA rep., we feel your pain, ma'am. But hopefully you haven't been voting dim lately and aren't talking out of both sides of your mouth. Understand ma'am that the dims don't give a rats behind about you. The dims' only concern is collecting enough votes (legal and illegal) every two years to keep you in your proverbial cage. It's all about power, money, and corruption.

So this person had so little foresight and so little capacity to organize their finances that they couldn't last even 40 days without having to skip meals and whatnot? This is who we're hiring?

Remember this the next time you hear a Democrat talk about how Republicans don’t care about anyone but the rich. Bull feathers! There are a lot of millionaires in Congress (who are still being paid, BTW). Have you heard even one of them offering to help the TSA agents? The only thing the Democrats care about is POWER.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has largely been disgraced following major Medicare fraud uncovered in his state, is still trying to stay relevant as he blasted the president’s decision to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to assist TSA at airports. He went even further, spreading additional fear by speculating that the administration could deploy ICE agents to polling places during the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video] This is not normal.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents aren't just saving our departure times at United Stats airports. They're also saving our children — and probably our backs and legs from having to stand in hours' long lines, but I digress. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a father was standing in line at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Wednesday, holding his one-year-old baby, when the child suffered a medical emergency and stopped breathing and became unresponsive. DHS says that CCTV video shows the baby going limp in his father's arms, while the father panics and calls for help.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has revealed that a brother and sister from China are indicted in connection with an improvised explosive device (IED) placed at the base that serves as headquarters for U.S. Central Command, which is currently executing the Iran operation. FBI Director Kash Patel posted his announcement on X Thursday, March 26. “An IED was placed at MacDill Air Force Base - home to CENTCOM and U.S. Special Operations Command,” Patel explained. “A brother and sister have now been indicted.” One of the suspects is in a foreign and hostile country, however, so he cannot be arrested at present.

U.S. District Judge Rita Lin has stepped in again, blocking President Donald Trump from forcing the Pentagon and federal agencies to cut ties with Anthropic. The ruling halts a supply chain designation tied to national security concerns over AI in military use. The designation also said mean things about Anthropic, hurting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's feelings, so he took the Trump administration to court. Federal agencies must now continue working with a company the executive branch flagged as a potential risk. A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from designating Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security and cutting off all work with the AI company.

Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana serves as headquarters for the Air Force's Global Strike Command, in charge of our nuclear bomber fleet of B-2 Spirits and B-52 BUFFs. Barksdale doesn't make the news very often — thank goodness — but there were a few blink-and-you'll-miss-it reports last week about multiple drone infestations from parts unknown. Do not blink. Do not miss this one. It's important. “In the early hours of Operation Epic Fury last month, a deployed [flyaway kit of counter-UAS technologies] successfully detected and defeated sUAS [drones] operating over a strategic U.S. installation,” NORTHCOM chief Gen.

The “tolerant” left is at it again, and this time, it’s coming from the “Golden Years” crowd. Two elderly leftists in Arlington Heights, Illinois, have been arrested and charged after a months-long investigation into the disgusting vandalism of the Republicans of Wheeling Township headquarters. According to the Arlington Heights Police Department, 72-year-old Brock McNerney and 69-year-old Moisette McNerney were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the defacement of the headquarters last January. The pair now face misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property and criminal defacement of property under Illinois law.

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso delivered a blistering floor speech Tuesday, exposing the Democrat Party’s priorities during the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While roughly 50,000 TSA agents are required to work without pay, causing massive airport delays and forcing hundreds to quit, Democrats are laser-focused on protecting illegal aliens. Barrasso played a clip of Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy admitting on live television, “The people we care most about… are the undocumented.” He explained that the Democrat strategy for over 30 years has been to make undocumented immigrants citizens.

This story is wild. I’ll leave this here for y’all to comment below, but apparently, former National Counterterrorism Center head Joe Kent offered to testify in the trial of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, for the defense. Michael Shellenberger of Public wrote a post about these allegations, specifically that Kent felt the FBI didn’t properly investigate the crime, believed there was a “foreign nexus,” and yes, Israel was part of this crazy story, although Kent couldn’t provide anything conclusive. He also claimed he was blocked from investigating this matter further, which is reportedly bunk since his agency had no authority to analyze what had been collected

Woke lawmaker Pramila Jayapal called for illegal immigrants to receive reparations to make up for the 'trauma' of being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The progressive Washington Democrat blasted ICE activity in the latest of her 'shadow hearings' about immigration reform on Friday, which she titled 'Kidnapped and Disappeared.' Jayapal called for 'offensive action' against ICE activities, saying she hoped for 'prosecutions and real accountability' against immigration agents. At the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted,' she fumed.

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Golfing legend Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash on Jupiter Island just after 2 p.m. Friday, deputies said. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred near 281 Beach Road. A picture taken by WPTV at the scene showed a Range Rover on its side. The agency said they are currently investigating and will provide additional details as they become available. Sheriff John Budensiek was expected to speak at 5 p.m. at the Jupiter Island Town Hall. It's unclear if Woods was injured in the wreck. Woods was involved in a severe crash in California in 2021, where he suffered multiple leg injuries.

NASA’s chief on Tuesday said the US space agency will invest $20 billion to develop a base on the Moon, while suspending its plans to create the lunar orbital space station known as Gateway. The agency intends to pause Gateway in its current form and shift focus to infrastructure that enables sustained surface operations,” Jared Isaacman said in a statement given during a day-long event at NASA headquarters in Washington. Despite challenges with some existing hardware, the agency will repurpose applicable equipment and leverage international partner commitments to support these objectives,” he said. The European Space Agency among other international organizations were partners on the planned Gateway project.

Reuters describes the vessels as "sailboats" and says they left Isla Mujeres, in the Mexican Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, last week. They did not arrive in Havana as scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday. The journey is about 300 to 350 miles, depending on the route. Combined, the two boats had nine people on board, including eight adults and a four-year-old child. Reuters also reports that they were a part of the "Nuestra America Convoy."

March 20, 2026, marked a turning point in the 2026 Iran war, when Iran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the joint U.K.–U.S. military base on Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean. Although both missiles failed to reach their target—one malfunctioned in flight, while the other was successfully intercepted—the attack sent shockwaves through Western Europe. This missile proved that the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had lied for years about the true range of Iran’s missile arsenal. Khamenei claimed Iran’s missiles could not threaten beyond the Middle East and their range had been limited to 2,000 kilometers.

After two months of unyielding negotiations, both parties gave up early Friday on reaching a grand accord to reform and fund the Department of Homeland Security. Instead, Senate Republicans accepted what Democrats have been offering for weeks — cash for all of DHS except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection. The Senate approved the funding package by a voice vote and is now expected to begin a scheduled two-week recess. The House could vote as soon as Friday, before the shutdown would break the record Saturday night for the longest funding lapse of any federal agency in U.S. history. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the outcome “unfortunate” Friday.

A Canadian woman has spoken out about being held with her seven-year-old autistic daughter in ICE custody for the past 13 days. Tania Warner said in an interview with CTV News that she is the most stressed she's ever been in her life. Her daughter, Ayla, has also been complaining about a rash that has spread to much of the lower half of her body. Warner believes the rash was caused by stress and the commercial cleaners used to wash the ICE-issued clothing. After pushing multiple times, Warner was given hydrocortisone cream.
