Pentagon cancels Trump-era border wall construction paid for by military funds
Fox News ^ | 30 April 2021 | Adam Shaw

The Pentagon on Friday announced it is canceling all border wall construction projects that were paid for by military funding -- part of a broader effort by the Biden administration to cancel the Trump-era barrier.

Biden issued an executive order in January halting all construction projects related to the wall so that a review could take place. More than 450 miles had been built during the Trump administration and approximately 350 miles (more) was already funded -- some of that with money diverted from the Defense Department...

The Pentagon said that funds would be used instead for previously deferred military construction projects, and that the list of deferred projects is being reviewed...

However, the White House has said that "limited" additional wall construction has been funded, despite an overall pause in construction -- after a report that the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had said "gaps" in the wall could still be filled.

"Wall construction remains paused to the extent permitted by law. So some has already been funded through congressional authorization and funding allocation," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

Biden’s a mere idiot.
His handlers are the leftist filth who set the agendas, and pull his strings.
He doesn’t even know what’s happening, until “pudding time”.

Mexico surrendered to the United States in 1847. Sometimes turnabouts happen when you least expect them.

Now they can use that money for fighter pilot maternity care and infantry sex reassignment surgeries.

Damn you Joe!

No, no, no. Your anger is misdirected. Remember Joe wasn't elected president by the American people. He was installed into that position by our favorite party, the GOP.

It sucks having to depend on the next elections to change anything. I have zero hope. The colonists and third world trash will spread Covid and lawlessness as we pay for it. No wonder, the DNC and media were petrified over 1/6. DC can burn down and I would have the same apathy as “Karen” having an abortion.

“The Pentagon said that funds would be used instead for previously deferred military construction projects...”

You mean like transgender surgery, as well as hormone therapy?

Most of it was to be used for construction of new officer clubs on various bases as well as officer housing. EMs get nothing.

And in other news the Pentagon announced an increase of $50 billion for services to “transgendered” soldiers/sailors/Airmen and Marines.

Must be crappy to have a higher end job at the Pentagon. You have no say really, no conviction, no moral compass, no real values......you’re just a robot doing the bidding of whoever’s in power. And being a coward to stand up for what’s right, you have no shame or dignity.

As evidenced by this directive from Biden and his handlers. The Pentagon....weak fools looking for a pension.

It’s cute you think Joe is in any way involved in making policy or his own destiny.

Ain’t that the truth? Joe can’t wipe his own butt and is 6 months away from a chin cup. Anyone who doesn’t see this as a ODUNGO 3rd term is mistaken!!

This is certain. The overwhelming of border agents dealing with children is an obviously deliberate attempt to concentrate attention away from trafficking points.
