President Donald Trump has solidified his suggestion that the U.S. military will build the wall along the southern border, as the chances of Congress passing funding for the project by the Dec. 21 deadline shrinks.
“Because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!” Trump wrote in a Dec. 19 tweet.
The Pentagon has backed Trump, acknowledging there is a legal option to use military funds for border barriers, although also saying there’s no plan in place to do so.
“To date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall,” Pentagon spokesman Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis said in a Dec. 12 statement, CNBC reported. “However, Congress has provided options under Title 10 U.S. Code that could permit the Department of Defense to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter-drug operations or national emergencies.”
Trump has asked Congress for $5 billion for the wall, but has faced a unified opposition from the Democrats and even from some Republicans.

“A wall is nothing but a highway turned on it’s side.”
Well stated!!
A little less talk, a little more action...
Call your local Congressional all of them and the main switchboard 1-202-224-3121 and the White House 1-202-456-1414
You sound like you might piss yourself while typing.
“I agree with the method as you stated, but we were holding their assets”
They were NOT THE ASSETS of the terrorist mullahs in control of Iran. It was aid and comfort—textbook treason if O’muslim were actually a U.S. citizen
The point is NO ONE KNOWS how much money Obama gave to his good buddies in Iran. And the republicans didn’t give enough of a sh!t to find out...They’ll hold Trump accountable though /spit
They’d defeat the minefield in 6 months. Just round up a bunch of goats, tie a string of tin cans to them, and push them over the border every day for a week. A few less goats but they’d soon have a safe crossing. The Cartels and Coyotes will do anything to keep their product flowing. Not to mention the fallout from pictures of kids with lost limbs on the evening news.
Despite all the people that die attempting the crossing they still come. The Wall, making them ineligible for any government assistance, and punishing their employers is the only way this stops.
source?
there will be no war
stupid solution
We need to look at practical solutions
Even the aging deep stators are not going to live forever. Eventually they will retire or kick the bucket
President Trump should have replaced sessions last year in 2017, he waited too long (I believe the ‘trust sessions’ nonsense was all a deep state distraction campaign)
First change the design, instead of concrete and steel, use only the steel that I have seen, go 25 to 35 feet high, use flat panels at the top, use a rounded top so it is hard to stay on top of it. Plus it should be cheaper. And call it a FENCE
That is right, change it from wall to fence or barrier. That way Trump can say, I didn’t build a wall, I built a fence...
Stop using the wall term, it drives the left nuts and someone pointed out that it sounds like the Berlin wall. We need to repackage this idea. Branding is everything.
Source for what? I gave you the facts on the ground.
it is like the entire government needs to be replaced.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pretty much, that’s what happens when BOTH parties cooperate to put an ineligible usurper in office.
Barack Obama was born a British subject, wherever he was born.
He could have been born in the Lincoln bedroom and he would not be a natural born citizen.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they only have ONE nationality. They cannot be anything else.
The Demonrats in Congress plus their judicial allies are sure to come down hard against any plan for the Military to build the wall.
And I gave you facts on the ground. Now what. Don’t believe you. Were you part of the exchange Facts on the ground?.
Most of what i read and you can search says we settled with Iran and avoided paying them their full amount back. Here’s a quote from an article.
The U.S. announced the controversial nuclear deal with Iran on July 13, 2015. At a news conference on January 16, President Obama declared that the U.S. was lifting the first raft of sanctions against Iran. He also stated that the U.S. would return $1.7 billion to Iran, as agreed in the negotiations at the Hague.
Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans who would like to get back to business as usual selling out America and importing cheap labor.
This crap started way before Obama
Even though I would love to blame Obamatard for everything, its not all his fault
This stuff happened decades ago, Bushes and Clintons, remember we have three decades of Bushes, Clintons and Obamas that is a lot of swamp dwellers that need to be caught and removed.
“Tonight, all over FR, a toxic brew of antiTrump nonsense.”
Apparently, the globalists, lobbyists, Dems and Chamber of Commerce Republicans know exactly how to destroy President Trump.
Just give him no money for a wall and many Trump supporters will blame him and bail.
Sad, very very sad.
I agree, my point was that it should have been screechingly evident to everyone on Usurpation Day that the entire government was totally corrupt and in need of replacement.
You gave me liberal talking points. I gave you the facts on the ground.
The guy has taken an epic beating, from everyone, including his so-call friends.
And by all means go out on that limb in defense of O’muslim. In defense of sending billions of dollars in cash in unmarked planes in the dead of the night to terrorists in Iran.
There’s a reason why Loretta Lynch took the 5th when the kabuki republicans ‘questioned’ her on this matter.
