What the mainstream media won't show you: The Border Wall IS Being Built...
video at link
Looks like a construction project of a tall steel slatted fence in progress somewhere on the border.
Posted as a separate thread for Hoosiermama.
Jim!
Most excellent! We finally have a President who keeps his promises and has enough common sense to see the destructive impacts of unregulated and unlimited immigration on this nation!
A beautiful use for American Steel! Thanks for posting!
Lol!
I had shared them on occasion on Trump Train
Tonight I decided to send them to Jim and ask him to share with everyone. I’m on my cell phone so I can’t post a thread.
I think Kristinn is a sister.
Thanks good information
IIRC the replacement wall funding was taken from “repair” funds. There has been two amounts awarded to actually build wall in past two budgets.
One big push will get ER done. It’s 1/8 complete already (practice)
Ah... No wonder so few people saw them. Trump Train is a busy bunch, but limited in exposure to the whole board.
Good on you for sending them Jim's way.
Don’t tell HIM that ! May I suggest you Follow on Twitter
We cover lots of areas all hidden behind walls of recipes and ailments ! Intensional of course.
I am glad you did. I missed the Train on those posts.
Oh, he needs the drama. He just don't need the money. The plan all along was to use the military budget to build the wall. This $5 billion/shutdown drama was always kabuki to put the derps in a box. And in a box they are.
This President knows what he's doing, despite the caterwauling of certain somebodies on our side.

“I think Kristinn is a sister.”
He was a man when we protested (Freeped) then President Clinton.
Ha! Stealthy buggers!
There's another way to avoid fainting spells, Windy.
That’s Paloma for Trump. She has a FB Page and has been a huge advocate for the wall.
I was also hesitant to share knowing that OUR president had a plan and would mention the building being done when he was ready. Until the first of the year he had not mentioned it. Must admit he received numerous notes at WH site that lots was being accomplished.
Also saw a video a couple weeks ago on my new wifi TV showing the construction being done by men in military gear (complete with military vehicles) Never could find the same video at you tube— found many others But he’s getting it done as our commander in chief — very presidential.
And what would that be, Baggy?
That’s what I get for lurking too much.
“There has been two amounts awarded to actually build wall in past two budgets.”
Just for barrier, $400 million FY17 money, $1.3 billion in FY18 money.
Other amounts were also funded for other border security efforts (for more people and technology) so you can hear other (larger) numbers sometimes mentioned that include other things.
What we have seen building so far came from the smallest pot of money, just about $266 million out of FY17. The FY18 money has been almost completely awarded in just the last few months, so there will be a lot more new starts in the next weeks and months. The contracting folks are ready to commit a lot more.
If the President gets $5.7 billion in FY19 money just for barrier, you can see that would be a huge ramp up that would be (more than twenty times what we have seen so far). The 234 miles that would target are the most important, most difficult, and most expensive miles of the whole border - it will make a real difference. That is why the Dems fight it so hard - it is real game changing capability.
This is the main battle in the struggle to secure the border.
If the President can get a few billion now, he can make a big difference, because everything is ready - truly shovel ready.
Not very often. As I explained it was DJT choice when he wanted the accomplishment to be announced. He’s quite the player and I suspect the “Not one cent” democrats will rue the day they ever started their battle. He’s a winner. Rats not so much.
BTW expect Mitch to push through multiple judicial appointments when the Rats are looking at squirrels. The slingshot is loaded.
