Bollards Standing! These appear to be galvanized or something, perhaps to withstand the moist riverine environmental conditions.

New approach for the foundations as well:

I will be interested to see if they pour some marine mix concrete to stabilize the riverbank into a continuously running boat ramp, as early design drawings indicated. That would strongly contradict claims that their work would divert water, or change the course of the river. Foreman Mike mentioned in a recent video that they were grading the riverbank on a 1 to 5 slope.

I expect they will lay concrete patrol road, as they did for their first project - Fisher has been promoting concrete road as part of their proposals.

Riverine. That’s a new one. I’ve always used riparian, but riverine clearly states its own meaning.

I have an idea. Just do it anyway. No one will stop you because we don’t have laws in this country. Ask your supporter to donate enough money to hire about 1000 Antifa thugs. As long as you pay them, they’ll rough up anyone you say. It’s all about the money with those guys. Make a scene, throw a few rocks, talk on bull horns. Put out a general call to supporters to come defend the wall. Kill a butterfly while your at it. Make a general cry for help. Call Al shapton and have a March..make a scene

For your interest, Fisher seems to be incorporating some new features/techniques, for building along the edge of the Rio Grande. Although inland from where hurricane storm surge could hit, they could get powerful flooding from hurricane rainfall, at the same time of year (July/August) that monsoons typically raise the river level.

Wanted to see if you had had any thoughts on what is visible so far.

I am searching for a concept drawing that I saw before, which indicated that they intended to make the bank like a boat ramp - not sure if that was going to simply be graded. or if it was going to concrete as well.

It was a Smirking Chimp Federal judge, the dishonorable Randy Crane.

Another Globalist ruling for his team.

Crane was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 18, 2002, on a vote of 91–0 and received his commission on March 19, 2002.

Freedom sometimes does what it wants to.

Sometimes it does what is necessary.

Not. TRO = Trump Restraining Order, not Temporary Restraining Order.
