The Pentagon has money if they really want to do it. I am not buying this story, and think it is the Pentagon disobeying a direct order.

Trump needs to fire some generals. That’s what zero did when he didn’t like Generals.

“...it is the Pentagon disobeying a direct order.”

It sure does seem that way, doesn’t it? Can you imagine making that determination by yourself and taking it public after all the summer fuss about using DOD funds to get the wall built?

Why does the CiC (Trump) put up with this crap? Hell, he should divert a few billion from the CIA secret stash.

The anti-American left finds it so easy to divide and conquer from without and within, no matter how frequently the tactic is used. They watch with glee, as the right devours itself in front of their eyes. Meanwhile, the lawyers continue getting richer.

Do your part to elect conservatives into the House next time. Cut federal pork to the states. Much of it is used to keep families broken and drugs flowing anyway. The Clintons signed much of it into law (e.g., the VAWA). Use the money for defense including border projects, the way that it should be used.

This article is munged up beyond comprehension. The funds for the 20 miles of wall were not $2.5 billion, and were not previously allocated for those segments.

Contracts for about 100 miles of wall were expected to come in under cost, so DHS and the Corps planned on building an additional 20 miles. For whatever reason, they can’t complete the additional work with the left over funds, so they decided not to pursue that work now.
