Welcome back to New World next week. I'm James Corbett of Corbett Report.com.

And I am James Evan Polato of Mediamonarchy.com, taking the necessary measures to guarantee the

interests of our clients, employees, and shareholders. We have got that story. Plus, combat drone

didn't read, American airports are chaos. Senate Democrats have rejected

the latest offer from President Donald Trump and Republicans to fund most of the Department

of Homeland Security and end a lengthy shutdown that snarled airport security checkpoints and

threatened to ripple through an economy already roiled by the Iran War.

The Republican plan does not include any of the policy proposals Democrats have insisted on

in the fight to overhaul immigration and customs enforcement tactics following the

killing of two protesters in Minneapolis by agents earlier this year.

Senate Democratic leader and noted joke thief Amy's second cousin,

Chuckie Schumer, told reporters that party would send off a counteroffer to Republicans,

which would include changes to immigration enforcement. Negotiations continue on DHS funding,

he said. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Republican offer would fund 94% of the

department, but leaves out $5.5 billion for ice enforcement activities. He said the bill

includes modest ice changes agreed too long before the standoff like money for body cameras. But

none of the additional changes Democrats have demanded since the DHS shutdown began on Valentine's Day.

Travel chaos worsens.
