Congress Finds Border Wall Solution For Trump – Leaves Democrats In Shambles



[Republican Congressman Mark Meadows] suggest to use 10 USC 274/284, which would allow the construction of fencing without congressional approval.

“Democrats have made it extremely clear this shutdown is all about opposing Trump for them. It’s time to pursue other options. 10 USC 274/284 would allow for fence construction without national emergency. Protect our communities, build the wall, and forget unreasonable Democrats.

According to this law, the Secretary of Defense can provide DOD personnel for the “maintenance of equipment for Federal, State, and local civilian law enforcement officials.”

Meaning the Army and other military servicemen can build the wall.

This is likely closer to the truth of it all.

Ding ding ding!



Ding ding ding!
Ding ding ding!
And THERE it is.
There it is.
This is what it's all about. This, right here, is why Trump shut down the government. And this is why Mitch McConnell is helping him KEEP it shut down.
It's not about border security.
It's not about illegal immigration.
It's not about some wall.
No, it's about preventing the new House from getting to work.
That's exactly what this is about.
These sons of bitches are fascists. Totalitarians. They don't believe in democracy, they don't believe in the Republic, and they never have.

Well in response to your question the Dems simply stuck to their original position and waited until Trump folded like a cheap tent.

Biggest Fentanyl Bust in History: Border Patrol Seizes Enough Drugs "To Kill 57 Million People"

Just days after we reported that the Massachusetts Attorney General is suing the makers of OxyContin, the deadly nature of America's opioid crisis has again reared its ugly head: US border patrol agents just made the largest Fentanyl bust in the country’s history, confirming that this nationwide epidemic is worse than ever.

On his show this week, Tucker Carlson reported: "Well, the U.S. border patrol has made the biggest fentanyl bust in history. An enormous amount, enough fentanyl to kill—they estimate—57 million people. That’s more than the combined population of the states of Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. It’s a lot."

Reporter Hillary Vaughn on Fox News broke the story, stating: "We got our hands on an internal memo from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol that details this bust. The biggest fentanyl seizure in U.S. history. According to the memo, four days ago in Nogales, Arizona, at the port of entry, CBP officers stopped a tractor-trailer crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into the U.S. with enough fentanyl to kill 57 million people."

Not one dollar Nancy . Say it isn’t true .
Trump is spinning it like t he wall is being built........ but fact checks indicate he is lying. Heck....even fox news is appalled at the degree of lying coming from him.

He has NO cred at all ..whatever he says ........ either consider the opposit or take it with a serious grain of salt.

Only his die hard supports actually take what he says at face value. But that speaks to their "moral" and "ethical" compass. While critical thinking is an unknown entity.
