“Of course today was dominated by many stories, one of which was the bipartisan budget bill for border security. And the big number is—that the president was not happy with—was $1.375 billion to build a border barrier. He could do whatever he wanted with it,” Kilmeade began. “The question was, ‘Would the president add something with that? Would he declare a national emergency?’ I just got off the phone with Mick Mulvaney, chief of staff, and the answer is a resounding ‘Yes.’ Now for the first time, you will hear how much it is and where the money is coming from.”
“It’s going to be about $8 billion. He had the $1.3 [billion], then $600 million will come from the Treasury, the Treasury forfeiture front. $2.5 billion out of [Department of Defense]. They consulted with Mick Mulvaney and the White House over the last few months on what they could actually do and they are going to use some money they feel they can spare on the drug interdiction account,” he continued. “Then they came across with $3.5 billion for the military, the military construction budget.”
Confirmed an hour ago by ABC White House reporter Jonathan Karl…

Ain’t nobodys gots time fo’ dat FlimFlam, OkieDokie, Bamboozle.
that’s clever - drug war money to build the wall to stop drugs. Let The Speaker argue that!
Just listened to Tammy Bruce on fox interview some republicans on the hill who were very very much against this bill.....they said this bill will hinder ICE and illegal families are off limits etc...I RATHER have the government shut down then RISK OUR LIVES!! SHUT IT DOWN AND F THOSE BASTARDS!!! Laura Ingram called in and said the WH is furious with this bill but their hands a tied...don’t want another shut down cause it hurts Americans...SHUT IT DOWN!!! OUR BORDERS ARE MORE IMPORTANT!!! SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!!
“cause it hurts Americans” seriously???
I guess some americans are more equal than others/s
God forbid some one misses a paycheck or has to find new job, while others are being stolen from, raped, killed or even just taxed to pay for illegals.
My only comfort is God will deal with nancy and all in agreement with this bill (leaders and US citizens) on the day He determines.
It is all theater mam. In the end the Deep State will win. “We the People” don’t count for much and haven’t for a number of years now.
True dat.
It seems to have gotten WAY worse since the 2018 House elections.
Yabut the Deep State and their supporters ( leftists ) are incredibly weak and overly sensitive types so they get really upset when you piss them off - - it’s really easy and kinda fun but you’re right - they always win in the end
He can take 3.5 billion from California for their failed bullet train. Newsome announced that they were only going to finish the section of the bullet train from Bakersfield to Merced, but cancel the rest of the sections like over the Grapevine and down to San Diego.
It was also stated that they were going to keep the money that the federal government gave them for the project. Sorry, Newsome if you don’t finish the project you don’t get to keep the money.
Well past time to rebalance the equation by repealing the 17th Amendment!!

A few million could be freed up by tossing Mueller and his gang behind bars.
So you assume 2016 was all that was needed to be done to turn this nation around? It was only the beginning. This is war. The UniParty - RATs and Bush-League Repubicans - fight dirty.
You can bitch and moan, or you can get behind the one man in Washington who is trying his damndest to win.
I'm in it for the long haul - how about you?
Where’s your post on that thread?
FR is NOT really Life...
Though it’s as close to Social Media as I get.
YMMV....
Have fun in your echo chamber...
I’m not hearing echos.
You?
In all due deference the Deep State has it’s fair share of so called “conservatives”!
