Trump officials mull plan to divert billions more to border wall: report

Trump administration officials are reportedly contemplating a plan to again redirect billions more in military funding to pay for wall construction at the U.S.-Mexico border next year, three administration officials told The Washington Post.

The officials reportedly said that senior officials talked about a plan to pressure lawmakers to reimburse $3.6 billion in Defense Department funds at a meeting last week led by presidential adviser Jared Kushner.

The Post reported, citing officials, that the White House has requested $5 billion more for wall funding in 2020 from the Department of Homeland Security, but if that doesn't get approval, the administration will reportedly again take $3.6 billion from the Pentagon's construction budget.

A senior White House official told the Post that the discussion was “a typical project-management meeting where administration officials discussed border wall progress” and to make sure “additional needs were being assessed in the event more funding became available.”

LOL

It’s funny you say that because I have always had “knight in shining armor” syndrome.

Pick up (attractive of course) damaged women and help them and then get bored when they’re normal and move on :)

Only some didn’t get THAT normal and weren’t easy to get rid of!! :)

Boy i’m not much good at the stuff.

Can I look up JUST her posts to me and vice versa?

The one the past week about the psycho who kept thousands of fetuses in his home just killed me. He also didn’t report the rape of a 10 year old. He’s dead now, that doctor.

That’s the one I remember and then so many other ones about individual horrors that it crushes the soul.

It’s pretty clear that the dems won NH and Nevada by voter fraud in 2016. Possibly MN as well. The Dems will cheat like hell to get WI and MI back. So DJT will need larger margins there to keep them in the GOP camp.

But the good news is that statewide voter fraud, at maximum, does not amount to more than 0.5% of the vote, anywhere, in any state. Usually it’s far less. Trump’s reelection in 2020 cannot be a squeaker. It needs to be 3-5% at minimum. If he runs against either socialist, Sanders or Warren, he’ll probably exceed 5% and we’ll take back the House.

I for one am not worried. Because the indictments for Hillary, Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and the other deep-staters will be handed out around Christmastime and we can watch Pocahontas try and run as a socialist Democrat amid all that bad publicity for the 11 months after that.

Junior will be problematic as a candidate. Junior will carry all of Trump’s baggage but none of his father’s positives. Also, I don’t think the voters want a family dynasty especially after Bush. Voters will wonder if Trump will be pulling the strings behind the scenes and the choice will unify the democrats.

You touched on my new pet peeve.

News today is “mulls,” “considers,” “intends,””plans,” “prepared to,” “about to.”

This is not news. This is what happens when these morons have to fill 24/7 news cycles. They report what people talk about, serious or not (and I am NOT saying this isn’t a good idea or that it isn’t seriously being “thought about.”) But virtually ALL options are being “mulled.”

Aaarrrrggggh.

No, as much as we’d like to, we have to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” In these last days, we must let the peace of God rule (& lead) in our hearts.

If more people understood that federal abortion decisions (Roe v Wade) and laws are patently unconstitutional, and thus illegal, invalid and should be nullified, it would help.

The problem is THE STATES!!!! People through their state MUST DEMAND that state anti-abortion laws not be superseded by unconstitutional federal interference.

Oh. OK. Thought you were headed in some other direction.

Someone said the big thumbs up reminded him of Fay Wray. Actually the Delusional Lying Left, the Delusional Dems, and their lying buddies the “Fake News” Media are the ones in the grip of the giant fist of Divine Providence (and Trump).

Trump vs. the Left and the Left is outnumbered.

We gotta get the right guy for 2024 (2020’s a done deal IMO).
