The funding will go towards building 175 miles of border wall.

Winning.

I believe so, the report says that it's a pretty even split coming from US based projects and overseas projects. It's refreshing to see the DOD spend a couple billion dollars on something here on US soil that will have a profound affect on millions of American lives.

Default Pentagon diverts $3.6 billion in military funds for wall

"Secretary of Defense Mark Esper told Congress he has "determined that 11 military construction projects along the international border with Mexico, with an estimated total cost of $3.6 billion, are necessary to support the use of the armed forces in connection with the national emergency."

Can a court stop this? If so they should've waited until the deed was done to make it public. Easier to ask forgiveness and all that.

Excellent news.

Believe it or not, our federal government's job is to protect our borders and not intervene in civil wars on the other side of the globe.

Fake national crisis? Thousands upon thousands have marched up to our border in caravans in the past year. Over 100,000 during the month of May alone. Even the Democrats have finally admitted that it's a crisis.

Awesome!

How much more to run a couple million volts through it?
