The Left Wants to Defund DHS

As President Donald J. Trump strengthens his second term with tougher security policies and a clear agenda to protect the United States, the leftist media and their decaying elites continue to despise everything that represents order, law, and national sovereignty. The latest example is Bill Kristol, a former Republican advisor turned progressive mouthpiece, who recently made deeply troubling remarks during a liberal panel discussion, sparking outrage.

During the panel, Kristol mocked figures like Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, two influential voices within the Republican Party. Most alarmingly, he called for the complete defunding of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“Would this country be safer if DHS didn’t exist? Maybe TSA should exist. I don’t know…,” Kristol said dismissively, without acknowledging the sacrifices of thousands of agents who risk their lives daily.

More Than a “Comment”—A Sign of Something Deeper?
Kristol’s comments were not made on a whim. For months, he has promoted the idea of defunding ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), a position embraced by the radical left and increasingly gaining ground among elitist moderate progressives.

“I more or less came around to the idea of defunding ICE a month or two ago. But now I’m on board with defunding DHS,” he said bluntly.

These declarations are not innocent or anecdotal. They form part of a dangerously false narrative that seeks to delegitimize the very institutions that safeguard Americans, at a time when the nation faces internal and external threats, from foreign terrorist cells to transnational organized crime.

Who Protects the People If Not DHS?
The Department of Homeland Security, created after 9/11, consolidates vital functions such as border control, protection of critical infrastructure, prevention of cyberattacks, and disaster response.

ICE, meanwhile, is the last line of defense against foreign criminals, sexual predators, human traffickers, and terrorists illegally crossing our borders. Defunding these agencies is not progressivism; it’s national suicide.

To claim, as Kristol did, that the United States would be safer without DHS is a betrayal of the truth, the nation, and every family protected thanks to these institutions.

Elitist Disdain and Moral Arrogance
Beyond politics, Kristol’s mocking tone toward conservative figures like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi reveals the deep contempt the liberal elite holds for those who defend the Constitution, life, and family.

“They both strut,” he said sarcastically, referring to two Republican women who have dedicated their lives to public service and strengthening the civic and moral fabric of their communities.

In the left’s logic, defending sovereignty, security, the right to bear arms, and the rule of law is laughable. But for millions of Americans, those are the very reasons why life is still worth fighting for.

Trump Responds with Action, Not Sarcasm
Faced with this moral and verbal vacuum from the left, President Donald Trump has been crystal clear:
No national security agency will be dismantled while he is in charge.
On the contrary, his administration has proposed increasing funding for ICE and DHS, reinstating the Remain in Mexico program, strengthening border walls, and immediately deporting criminal foreigners.

“Our country does not give in to weak ideologies. We stand up with courage and restore order,” Trump said at a recent Houston speech.

Furthermore, the administration has stopped thousands of illegal border crossings, dismantled drug trafficking cells, and reinforced surveillance at critical points across the country. Real actions versus Kristol’s armchair rhetoric.

Conclusion: The Left’s Plan Is Clear, but the People Have Awakened
Bill Kristol is not alone. He represents a mindset that views the United States as the problem, that law enforcement is oppressive, and that the only solution is to dismantle everything that works. But what they fail to understand is that millions of citizens are no longer willing to tolerate it.

The real America—the one that works, respects the law, believes in God, loves family, and defends its flag—will not allow itself to be destroyed by arrogant elites or defeated ideologies.

Defunding DHS is not a political proposal:
It is a declaration of war on national security.
And as always, the American people will know how to choose between those who protect and those who mock.
