The Biden administration is reportedly spending their final weeks quietly clearing away unused southern border wall materials to put up for auction — a move characterized by some lawmakers as an apparent ploy to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump’s goal to secure the US-Mexico border.
Alarming footage taken by a US Customs and Border Agent captured numerous flatbed trucks hauling away dismantled sections of the steel wall near Tucson, Arizona – a hotspot for illegal crossings – with the agent estimating a half-mile’s worth of parts are being removed daily, The Daily Wire reported.
“They are taking it from three sections: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the agent, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, told the outlet.
“The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”
The materials are being transported to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, where it’s being sold through GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, with bidding starting at just $5.

Stop the gaps with A 10 patrols until the material can be clawed back.
This is the definition of Treason.
I read where the Texas Gov is buying dumbo Biden’s wall bargains.
Let Elon and Vivek put their money where their mouths are and buy it all back on Gov Planet.
The members of the ChiComjoe kakistocracy are traitors to the United States through and through.
The Biden admin has been selling off wall materials for some time, for pennies on the dollar.
Wow...that’s great PR for the Ds...facilitating more drugs, criminals into the US, and yet higher taxes.
Whose side are Ds on ?

BATTLE OVER THE BORDER HIGHLIGHTS the magnitude of government waste.
Materials for the unfinished, $15 billion U.S.-Mexico border wall, which Donald Trump vowed to build in 2015, hit the auction block this week in a clandestine fire sale, Power Corridor has learned.
......
The DOD’s combat support branch, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), confirmed to Power Corridor late Thursday [Aug 11, 2023] that the Pentagon is now moving ahead with the sale of the leftover materials, many of which have been sitting for years in piles on government and private land out West.
The items up for auction this week are “excess border wall materials that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers turned over to the DLA for disposition and are now for sale,” a DLA spokesperson said.
LEADING HE LIQUIDATION is Gov Planet, an online auction marketplace run by publicly traded Canadian company Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. This week, Gov Planet began posting photos on its website and social media of large sections of the unbuilt wall, understood to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
But the AUCTIONEER has been CAREFUL NOT to describe the items as PARTS of TRUMP’S DISCARDED WALL, instead, GENERICALLY LISTING THEM as “steel tubing and sticks for industrial construction.”
A source close to the fire sale told Power Corridor that this is by design. Under specific terms of the liquidation, Gov Planet was INSTRUCTED BY THE PENTAGON to AGGRESSIVELY MARKET and AUCTION OFF approximately 12,000 border wall items, but not to mention Trump, Mexico, or the controversial border wall. “We are legally not allowed to mention these are the border wall materials, or we could lose our jobs,” the source said, on condition of anonymity. “But that’s what they are – 110 percent.” [excerpt]

“And for fiscal year 2021, Congress provided $1.375 billion for the “construction of barrier system along the southwest border.” DHS Appropriations Act, 2021, Pub. L. No. 116‑260, div. F, title II, § 210, 134 Stat. 1182, 1448, 1456-1457
(Dec. 27, 2020). These barrier appropriations are available for five fiscal years.
**INCIDENTALLY, The congressional funding referenced by the White House was secured by Trump in 2019 — nearly $1.4 billion to build border barrier systems along the southwest border.
“The Biden admin has been selling off wall materials for some time, for pennies on the dollar.”
YES, you are correct!
I hate this quote from the 1st article:
“LEADING HE LIQUIDATION is Gov Planet, an online auction marketplace run by publicly traded Canadian company Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. This week, Gov Planet began posting photos on its website and social media of large sections of the unbuilt wall, understood to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The wall sections are purchased by Democrat elites who will sell them back to the Trump administration at ten times what they paid for them at auctions
And of course, the Big Guy makes 10%
That would be classic
For those who still don’t believe there is a deep state, ask yourself do you really believe the (P)resident came up with this scheme.
Even though we literally and figuratively dodged a bullet with Trump’s election, the damage done and still being done is massive.
They will not go quietly into that good night
ALSO I HATE THIS:
DOD’s combat support branch, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
The DOD needs HEAVY ATTENTION by DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency!!!

Biden is a traitor to the US Constitution.
Joe Burden is evil. I can’t wait for January 20 to see the last of this Ceasar the Democrats installed as President.
“I read where the Texas Gov is buying dumbo Biden’s wall bargains.”
That would be good, thank you for sharing that. I was just now wondering if there isn’t something the State can do to at least tie it up in court for a couple months till Trump is in.
> For those who still don’t believe there is a deep state, ask yourself do you really believe the (P)resident came up with this scheme.<
There no doubt is a very powerful, smart deep state. I don’t see this as their work. So many of the Biden actions are so sophomoric and childish that it resembles a bunch of immature twenty something’s sitting around over wine spritzers and tossing out stupid ideas. There isn’t much deep thought into it other than “watch this”.
EC
What incorrigible sons of bitches these people are.
Is it really Mayorkas? Pelosi? McConnell’s team?
Which member of this still-illegitimate administration is calling these shots?
Screw ‘em. We’ll have plenty of cash from soon-to-be-fired Fed Employees.
An agent of Trump should buy the wall parts at discount then sell it back to Trump at cost. Maybe with a 5% profit?
I still think we need a new branch of service. The Border Guard. A land version of the Coast Guard. with power over a six mile stretch at each border. Heck, mine the border and put in a kill zone. Use drones to drop bombs on anyone in the forbidden zone. Iron clad close border, no one goes north or south—no people, no trade, zip. But, I am hard nosed.
As usual the problem is those supporting such action are not the ones paying for the materials. A “true democracy” will only lead to communism as the masses of “have nots” will vote to take from the “haves” rather than work in a system that allows for personal success. Perhaps this is why the masses of illegal immigrants have been allowed into the United States.
