“In November, SWF Constructors of Omaha, Nebraska, won a contract for $18 million to replace wall in Calexico. The administration waived environmental reviews in September.”
This is from an article dated the 21st
of February 2018. part of a local infrastructure improvement project.
It isn’t the beginning of the
construction of Trumps border wall.
The pic in question shows similar
stacked materials, terrain, and fence
type shown in the Feb article.
Rush nailed it yesterday. He explained everything along with the reason why the obamama/jarrett regime never once opted for a budget but settled for a CR or spending bill after bill so they could have exactly the flexibility that is contained within the omnibus not the hard and fast rules of a budget.
Add in a few EO's at the right time and place and the obama/jarrett regime could pretty much get whatever they wanted. They did it at midnight much of the time so even when it was discovered there was little anyone could do.Slick very slick.
Problem is trump is even slicker and they(Chuck U and insane Nancy) are just learning what it is like to be "Trumped"!!
Doesn’t look like a picket fence to me,LOL!!Bottom line for the left:don’t mess with Trump.You will always lose.
Sorry Mr. know-it-all you let me know when that money is spent and how much of the "suggested" amounts are spent!!
Great post we are lucky to have “The Donald” on our side.
I would give Rush a break until you try what he does. It’s a lot harder than it looks.
I think it all depends on what is going on in the background. If there really are 1,800 indictments that are going on, expansion of Gitmo and lots of well knows showing up there, ankle bracelets on all the right people and all that starts being known, so well that even the DBM can’t cover it up say from august til Nov.There is no way we will lose congress.
See post # 42 in this thread:
Trump, the Omnibus, and the Art of the Real

The Presidential declaration of emergency on the drug epidemic gives him discretion on how to spend the appropriations from a bill which is not a “budget” according to the Congressional rules of order. An omnibus bill is not a budgetary based appropriations bill.
We will soon know if this has legs. The lefts caterwauling would be so loud even more heads will explode.Can you imagine all of that Schumer New York/New Jersey tunnel money going to build the wall? Buahahahahahaha!
People have posted photos of the wall now actually being built.
Building walls in the right places 1.6 billion can go a long way....
Point taken.
But Limbaugh has always had a hesitation about Trump that he never expressed with his nostalgia over Reagan.
Limbaugh did not cut his teeth in radio until Reagan had already won hearts and minds of Americans. Reagan’s greatness was on full display in 1988 when Limbaugh was learning how to handle a microphone.
What Limbaugh doesn’t get is that in 1981-1982-1983 Reagan was hated and maligned, derided by the GOP establishment and nearly within a hair assassinated by someone close to the rotten Bush family.
There have been assassination attempts on Donald Trump. Still, Donald has shown more courage than most Americans by wearing a bullet-proof vest into rallies of tens of thousands of screaming Americans. This from a man who could easily spend the rest of his days in comfort on the golf course living a life of splendor. For that alone, Donald deserves the highest praise and respect from patriotic Americans, yet Limbaugh hesitates.
The difference in Limbaugh on Reagan and Limbaugh on Trump is that Limbaugh came AFTER Reagan had ascended to greatness from miscast ignominy whereas Limbaugh is experiencing the miscast ignominy of Trump as he ascends to greatness. Limbaugh never experienced the dark days of Reagan, only the glow of Reagan’s success when Reagan had become a beloved President. With Trump, he’s reacting to the dark forces that surround Trump and he is hesitant to jump into Trump’s camp with both feet, why?
I guarantee that had Limbaugh been covering Reagan in 1983, he would be just as hesitant with Reagan as he is now with Trump.
Limbaugh thinks Trump is unpredictable, so was Reagan.
Limbaugh thinks Trump’s poll numbers support his hesitancy. Reagan’s poll numbers in 1983 were worse than Trump’s numbers are now.
So why is it that Limbaugh is one of the first to jump in and declare that Trump is ‘going back up the elevator’?
It’s because Limbaugh wasn’t there to cover the dark days of Reagan’s presidency.
Limbaugh and his microphone cane AFTER Reagan had won the heart of America. Limbaugh came on the scene when Reagan’s poll numbers were in the high 70s. Hell, even Pappy Bush had poll numbers in 1990 at 90+%. NINETY FRICKIN PERCENT! And Bush didn’t deserve those numbers. He got them only because he was viewed as Reagan Part II, Reagan the Sequel until the public became aware he was a big Reagan nothing.
So why is Limbaugh not understanding history and making himself jump on the Trump Train?
Because he’s hedging his bets. He’s a little cowardly.
Ok, so he’s not as great as he thinks he is.
I’ll give him one thing, he’s built an audience, a large one, and he has a lot of good people feed him good information which he has the ability to understand is good information. For example, he read yesterday from information that was handed him, ostensibly by someone he respects, that the Rules Committee overrode restrictions put into the Omnibus against using military funding to build the Trump Wall.
The backstory of the Rules Committee was a useful piece of information that helps clear up the confusion surrounding the Omnibus and the interpretations that people were arguing about. So Trump is right, the Wall may be built using military funding or ‘M’, M meaning either military or Mexico, Trump stoking the media. My take is Trump starts the Wall and gives Congress one more shot to get it right else he moves military funding into the Wall construction and/or he tears Mexico a new one with a renegotiated NAFTA and from that comes Wall funding. Either way, just as President Trump said Friday, more funding for the Wall will ‘follow’.
But what I noticed about Limbaugh when he was announcing the information about what the Rules Committee had done to afford Trump multiple options on many things, was that Limbaugh while reading couched his comments with distanced conditionals such as “people are trying” to find a silver lining in Trump’s Omnibus signing. In other words, the Rules Committee actions were brought by people “trying to find”, “trying to spin”, etc. That means Limbaugh is still not on the Trump Train. He’s in the Michael Reagan, Mark Levin tent. And that’s why I call Limbaugh ‘Lamebutt’.
This is typical Rush Limbaugh, who never predicts anything that is straight up. That way, he can claim he came down on the right side of any issue regardless of how it turns out. This isn’t going to happen, as much as we would like to see it happen.
Agreed, and while Reagan was opposed by many (even in the GOP), the level of hatred from politicians, the media and entertainment is orders of magnitude more severe against Trump. And that doesn't even factor all those actively working to subvert his presidency with police state tactics and more.
Even though we all want more to be done, and done quicker...it's astonishing what he was accomplished so far while going up against those kinds of odds.
That is the specified allocation of the money - along with no increase in border agents and a decrease in detainment areas. Don’t know if the photo is legit.
Ugh, how about you let me know the money wasn’t spent. And, let me know when the military dollars are being spent on the wall.
Yeah, believe you or my lying eyes.
Be sarcastic if you want... but from bots to Photoshop I tend to disbelieve most of what I read and see on the net. When the dems file in court to stop Trump from truly building the wall, then I will know he actually started.
Sure thing Thomas. Lotta wall will be built before then. Remain in your negative juice, but why spread it?
Well it’s a start.
It needs razor wire on top, plus with a rope and grappling hook they cab still flow past the border.
IMO the best design is one of the concrete prototypes with the rounded top area.
Which of course the open borders congress would not approve.
But Trump does not need their approval, the bill is not a budget so the uses for the money allocated are just suggestions pretty much.
