In Jacksonville’s Military Town, a Patriot — Not a Politician — Had Their Backs

In more uncovered news, I had to stretch all the way to the Singaporean Straits Times for this story — and that should tell you something.

President Trump announced yesterday that a private donor — who wishes to remain anonymous — contributed $130 million to cover military salaries during the Democrat-led government shutdown.

“He called us the other day and said, ‘I’d like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown, because I love the military and I love the country,’” Trump explained at a press event.

You’d think this would be front-page news in every American outlet. But instead, our media once again got snow blindness — and it’s only October.

While the legality of using private money for government salaries sits in a gray area, few are complaining. Our men and women in uniform will get paid, and that’s what matters most.

The real question is: Who is this mystery patriot?
We don’t know, but let’s just say — his name might rhyme with Nylon Tusk. 🚀🇺🇸
