The White House has started to tell government agencies to begin preparing for a potential government shutdown on Sept. 30.
According to Fox News , the reminder is standard protocol seven days prior to the government’s funding running out.
Congress continues to debate and pose alternative measure to keep the federal government fully operational into October, but the process has been slowed by disagreements among Democrats and by Republican vowing the make the Democrat-controlled House and Senate pass the measure, along with extended the debt limit, on its own.
“We are taking every step we can to mitigate the impacts of a potential shutdown,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during a briefing Thursday. “We’re seven days out and we need to be prepared, of course, in any event of any contingency, so we see this as a routine step and one just to be prepared in any event of what could happen,” she continued.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
