While Leftists were protesting President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance rallied with Marines at Camp Pendleton in California on Saturday.
The youngest vice president grew up in Appalachia before he joined the Marines, got a college degree, and graduated from Yale Law School, where he met his wife. Then, Vance ran and won a seat in Congress.
Chuck Schumer and the Democrats may have shut down the government but President Trump is going above and beyond to ensure our brave Marines get the paychecks they deserve.

At the "No Kings" rally across the nation, protestors gathered to send threatening messages to Trump.

In some locations, protesters carried signs reading "Kings Get Guillotines" and other signs, hoping for the death or assassination of the president. One Connecticut lawmaker, Saud Anwar, held a sign, saying, "Cholesterol, do your job!"
Connecticut deserves leaders who put people first—not those who promote dangerous rhetoric. Yet today, Democrat Senator Saud Anwar chose to perpetuate a harmful narrative instead of condemning it. This is absolutely disgusting behavior—especially from someone who’s a doctor and… pic.twitter.com/fRi03dcpoA

Batya Ungar-Sargon called out the Left on her show on NewsNation.
The "No Kings" rally isn’t protesting Trump but rather the agenda the majority of America voted for. The Left isn't protesting a king but their fellow Americans. They aren’t standing up for democracy — they are protesting against it.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom shut down the I-5 freeway during the training exercise. Newsom claimed that the training posed a danger to the public, but others disagreed.
The I-5 freeway will be shut down between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. today after a sudden CHP announcement.

The Marines at Camp Pendleton have been firing live rounds and training beneath I-5 for over 50 years — without closing the freeway. There is zero reason for this sudden shutdown.…
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
