"Good News Budget Cuts" for Jihadists

His finger tells it all

When Islamic terrorists attack America, liberals attack America's ability to protect themselves.

In the infinite wisdom of the left, fully $90 million is going to be cut from the anti-terrorism budget of New York City as part of the $270 million cut from the Urban Area Security budget to fund systems to protect us from jihadist attacks.

Even leftists like New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio and Senator Chuck Schumer think it's a bad idea. 

Gee, what was their first clue? September 11, 2001? San Bernadino? The slashing attacks at the Nazareth Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio? Fort Hood? The Boston Marathon bombing? And the etceteras go on and on.

But liberals who can be directly effected (read: "killed") by an Islamic terrorist attack are at odds with our Muslim-sympathetic president.


DeBlasio plans to personally beg Obama to reconsider the cuts.

"I'm certainly going to let the president know that we care deeply in New York and we need this money to be restored," the anti-cop mayor said at a One Police Plaza press conference. "The common sense thing to do here is to recognize that we are the number one terror target and we need this support."

You may remember him singing a different tune when it was about Black Lives Matter and how he worries about his son, who is black, being killed by a police officer.

But that was then, this is now. ISIS is making him aware of how the police and first responders are the heroes, not the villains.

Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer, uncle of failed comedienne Amy Schumer, pointed out that the Obama administration has no acceptable reason for the cuts. 

Referring to Obama's terror efforts, Chuck said that "They've been very good, but not here. Not here. This is a huge mistake, and I am here to pledge to the mayor and even more importantly to our men and women who are in the police, fire and other departments, and to the citizens of New York, these cuts will not stand."

Schumer was joined by NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, Fire Commissioner Dan Nigro, and Emergency Management Commissioner Joe Esposito. They all agree that Obama's cuts will make New Yorkers less safe at a time when IS inspired attacks are happening as often as cow flatulence.

"It seems to me that it's indefensible for the federal government at this time to be  proposing not only cuts but extraordinary cuts in monies allocated for homeland security, home town security," Bratton said. "A $90 million cut is unconscionable."

Last year's budget was $180 million and this is to be cut in half.

But is it really surprising to see a president whose kneejerk reaction to Islamic violence to call for stricter gun laws?

Dan Nigro spoke from a more emotional position. "Fifteen years ago, just a few mimutes away from where we are right now, more than 400 first responders died defending our country. The loss of this funding would be quite crippling to all first responders, to all New Yorkers and to all Americans. It's not just important. It's a necessity."

The president is unlikely to change his mind. He tends to react in counterpoint to American logic.

The operant word here is "American."
