Pentagon Speaks Out on Border Wall, Even Trump is Shocked
What does a federal appeals court, President Trump, the Pentagon, and Trump supporters all have in common? We are all getting our way on having the border wall built! The Defense Secretary Mark Esper made the announcement on Tuesday that the Pentagon will support and provide any additional financial means to protecting our border at the U.S.-Mexico line.
A federal appeals court overturned the ruling, which kept the funds from being diverted to build the wall. The Pentagon announced they are prepared to assist by any means necessary, including financial, to help the president fulfill his promise to the American people.
President Trump is diverting $7.2 billion from counter-narcotics funds and the Pentagon’s military construction funds to complete the project. This amount totals up to five times more than what Congress approved in the 2020 budget. There is more than one way to get things done, and President Trump is on a roll!
Mark Esper broke everything down while in a Pentagon press conference on Tuesday when he said, “The first priority of the DOD is the protection of the homeland. So the southwest border is a security issue. And so we’ll see how things play out, but we remain committed to supporting the Department of Homeland Security, and its mission.”
A reporter asked Esper if he meant supporting the building of the border wall financially as well. His reply was, “If that’s what it takes, we are prepared to support.”
Sources say President Trump wants to see $3.5 billion come from the counter-narcotics fund and $3.7 billion used from the military construction fund to complete 885 miles of fencing put up by this spring. Last year, over $6 billion was diverted from the same accounts. Not to worry, the money is definitely there to fund the wall.
A Pentagon spokesperson was asked for further comments. It was one of the “fake news” media reporters digging for information to distort the truth. This spokesperson shuts them down quickly by blowing them off and saying, “The Department of Defense has no new announcements with regard to border wall construction.”
The U.S.-Mexico border is almost 2000 miles. There will be fences in some portions and barriers in the other parts of the border. Last week, President Trump announced there were 100 miles of barriers completed so far, and he is pledging to have up to 450 miles of barriers completed by the end of this year.
Since the Democratic Congress fought President Trump every step of the way, those who are building the wall made do with what they had to work with. The barriers which have been put up so far were built with older material and technology. It is still a guarantee the wall will get the job done. New equipment and technology will be purchased to finish the project in due time from the funds provided.
There is no doubt if the Democrats were worth something and worked with the president, the wall would be finished, and its issues would be a thing of the past. Let us take a step even further back, it would have been done long before President Trump took office. The votes and the funds were already there. They just pocketed the money and put it toward their evil schemes to keep them in power.
Yes, the accomplishment fell short from Trump’s promise, but considering what we all had to go through to get this much done, he did an outstanding job!
The announcement of criticism of the Obama administration with the hardcore truth instilled in it. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf went to a portion of completed barriers in Yuma, Arizona, and said, “Today is a milestone that’s been reached, and a celebration is in order. We have built more walls in three years of this administration than the entire eight years of the last administration.”
Certain red flags have been removed to get the border wall built so far. The Department of Homeland Security officials is doing everything possible to get this wall put up. It will be a defining moment in history for President Trump pushing so hard with the DHS.
A part of history rings similarly, but different. The power in the voice of President Ronald Regan speaking of the Berlin Wall came to mind when he told the Soviet Union Leader decades ago, “Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!” Today we hear Trump saying, “BUILD THIS WALL!” It’s funny how history toys with the present.
JOB WELL DONE LADIES, GENTLEMAN, AND MOSTLY PRESIDENT TRUMP!!! FEELING SAFER every day.
It’s about time that our government got their s*** together!!!!
Agreed. Our gov’t is supposed to support our people over other nations. Thank you Donald Trump.
I got what you mean , appreciate it for posting.Woh I am lucky to find this website through google.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP, GOD BLESS THE PENTAGON AND ALL THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN AND ESPECIALLY GOD BLESS AMERICA. WOO HOO.
Could also be some very valuble training for Army Engineers in some of the more difficult areas to access for civilian contractors. We need to secure our borders if we wish to remain a free and SOVEREIGN NATION!!! I admire the cooperation of all elements of our government especially the military in this endeavor. KAG TRUMP 2020!!!!
Lets find where the previous money went and get it back or make the politicians that moved this money around be responsible and refund the government and get fired for theif.
Don’t have far to look, most of them are busy trying to impeach POTUS.
They have to pay their own legal cost and not use our tax money
If trump did not waste trillions of dollars playing war games around the world you could afford to build trump Wall.. Firing the old technology tomahawk missiles in to Syria where most of them were shot down by old technology Russian BUC missile launches. Very few actually hit the targets.
Wake up and realize he does not want to support the wars that the other politicians have pushed to keep the people who make arms happy.
But also realizes some of that is necessary.
Excuse my opinion but from what I have learned from is not about blowing shit up, but showing we are not going to take anyone’s crap without fighting back. It’s better to use old stuff for warning fools and then save the new tech & real power if its needed later. Most would stop & think after the warnings were sent. Just my thought about it all. I am a very proud TRUMP SUPPORTER! He has been trying very hard to fulfill his promise & keep our Americans Safe. And bring jobs back to Americans! If the idiots who oppose him would just let him do his great job we Americans will reep the rewards of a Great Country again!
Oh ya!! I totally agree with this persons opinion!
Thank God!
Great news Mr. President.
AL PECK says, Build the wall and keep the drugs in Mexico, and the liars and Crooks OUT! The savings will be tremendous!
Sadly, so many of the liars and crooks are on this side of the border….in D C. But the good news is we will soon have a chance to vote them out! There will be a Presidential election this year, but there will be many other chances to lose some of the current group of liars and crooks.
Never gonna happen. I wish we could vote them out, but they cheat too much, and the GOP is afraid to challenge them.
Who is going to pay for the Wall Mexico oh no wait a minute USA taxpayers who pay the trillions of dollars for his insecurity. USA troops are not wanted in the middle east or other countries.
WHEN THE WALL IS FINISHED , ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE PUT ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE SO THEY CAN BE HAPPY
AND MINGLE WITH THE DRUG CARTEL MOB.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN RECEIVING BRIBES FROM THE DRUG CARTELS TO KEEP THE BORDER OPEN SO THEY CAN BRING
THEIR DRUGS INTO AMERICA.
DEMOCRATS HAVE A WIN-WIN SITUATION WITH OPEN BORDERS, BRINGING IN ILLEGALS FOR MORE VOTES AND RECEIVING
BRIBE MONEY FROM CARTELS.
Got that right!
I think you are very right, and I had never even thought of it. i even saw a picture of a guy from Iran who said he has a list of who took bribes on Obama’s Iran deal, I don’t think it it was the leader. I hope President Trump hears about this idea because the Demonrats need to be investigated for such a scheme.
This is great news what we also need to do is let the people know that the Wall is the best way to keep all Americans safe more than keeping other’s out. This would get more people for the safety view and the numbers for the wall explode in favor. Push the good for all not the bad. People are for the good and the good always wins.
This is EXCELLENT NEWS (Well, except for some TREASONISTIC Left Wing Democrats)! . . . You guys are “on a roll”. Keep the hits coming. This includes EVERYONE (The Courts, Pentagon, etc. Oh. EXCEPT the TREASONISTIC Left Wing Democrats). This is what happens when the right PEOPLE work together. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
Hurrah! Better late than never, no thanks to those “fellow Americans” of the Democratic Party.
Even so, it still seems like a clear-cut case of “closing the barn door after the horse has bolted” to me. The majority of these Illegal Invaders/Undocumented Aliens are not coming to America.
They are already here.
I’ve always known that God’s PENTAGON ANGELS were at the White House and were always present and they are the ones really running the show. We just witnessed their presence and their help manifest in front of us. We will see them help our Donald/ America more and more as we get into the year 2020! The Pentagon Angels love their / our Trump!
I keep hearing the past echo of President Reagan saying ” tear this wall down” while President Trump is building a Wall. Difference is folks, the Berlin Wall was a Country divided. President Trump’s Wall is Two Countries kept separate. Big difference. I always thought it was such a wise decision on President Obama’s watch to arm the Mexican Drug Cartel with Weapons. Yup, keep complaining about a wall to distract from the Nutty decision of that. And President Trump offers the assistance of the U.S. Marines to Mexico in helping to clean up the Cartel. What a difference in governing .
Their job is to protect our country and they know it. They also are aware the illegals are an invasive force and NOT true immigrants that haven’t been properly handled by our government. The simple truth is that our useless justice department has the job of handling those who aid and abet these criminals….and it IS aiding and abetting, but have done absolutely nothing about it. It’s time we get an adult in charge to see it’s done and the illegals get shipped back and attempt to enter legally. That’s why we have laws to address this.
Maybe time for the national guard or our military to make the arrest
President Trump is truly the “2nd Reagan”. He is doing everything right!
Face it…the democrats are being beat at their own game, they were wrong to think, raising /showing emotions and pushing socialist politics could control the population. Making them succumb to their mind set. When a truly elected (by the people) Republican president like Donald Trump, a businessman , not politician is matched against a dying Political power, it stands to reason he can out maneuver them.
The time has come to vote out every Democrat and Primary every RINO. People who promise one thing and then go to Washington and do exactly the opposite need to be purged. IN Houston, we had Lizzie Fletcher run and she was the darling of the Millennials. She ran a social media campaign and defeated an older Congressman. She was going to be a moderate Democrat. She voted 90% straight AOC line and 95% Pelosi. She lied. There are stories like hers everywhere. Rashida Tlaib won by a tiny margin. Once she reached Washington and shot off her mouth, her district was appalled. She probably won’t be going back either. America, remember. The Democrats have run for 3 , now going on 4 years based solely on cancelling your vote. They try to say differently, but what have they done for us? What has the President done? Look around. We are on top again!
Thank God for Trump!!!
i can’t believe how many fools are being made by trump!
Put the swamp monsters on the south side of the wall. We can have our country back.
I.M. Patriot. You are 100% right in what you said. Makes total sense. The cartel took pictures of the children and grandchildren of the cali political operatives and made it clear what would happen should they interfere with cartel activities.
I wear Trump, shirts hats and anything that has my President Trump’s name on it. I’m so proud of what Mr Trump has done for America, she’s coming back to the country that I proudly served in the US Navy! America is great again! I do wish that one of the Presidents campaign promises would have been to find another planet for the democrats, heck, he’s came through on all of the other promises!! God Bless America and President Trump!!
Amen. I’m a navy vet too.
I am a vet and fought for our freedom and not for these corrupt politicians to try to change what we in the military fought for. Time has come to put them away for life
The demon craps who have been busy for three years screaming the sky is falling. The shy is falling, ought to all be impeached for dereliction of duty. Can you imagine a real person working for three years and not doing any real work. Three years later no one would even remember their names. I’d love to see all demoncraps voted out of office.
Build that wall and put everyone who is left wing on the other side of it.
I think that the Boarder Well Project should be Constructed by our US NAVY SEEBEE CONSTRUCTION BATTALION’S. As the Moto goes SEEBEE’S CAN DO.
ANY ONE WITH A BIT OF BRAIN POWER KNOWS THAT THE DRUGS,CRIMINALS,AND THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MOVE INTO AMERICA ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ANY WALL. This includes under world crime and people that can not for some reason or other go through the legal entrance, that we who have traveled to Mexico have done–if your not a bad person you can find the legal WAY TO GET HERE!
So glad the wall is being built. It should have been done a long time ago. We should be sure to say “thank you” to President Trump for this and all the other things he has promised to do and is working hard to fulfill all of his promises.
God Bless President Trump for all of his hard work to get this accomplished.
As a WWII vet I applaud President Trump’s tenacity in erecting the wall – you have my vote Sir!
DUMP THE TRAITOROUS JUDGE!! MUST BE AN OBAMA DICK!!
There is one thing about JEdgar Hovers new FBI. It was the only governmental department that operated with a profit margin. I would say somebody is skimming that drug & traffic money should be more than enough to build the wall? You don`t house and feed illegals. Kick them the hell out of the USA or put them in sweatshops. Deterrents to never cross the border again illegally. How about a Class A automatic death sentence for being here illegally and aiding and abetting carries the same punishment and carry it out within 24 hours. This will shut them up.
End of story.
OK, the wall continues to go up
I did hear Trumpy say “MEXICO” is gonna pay for the wall to or is what Trumpy said is bullshxt! WTF happen to that , why is Mexico not paying its share? AMERICA TAX PAYERS get stuck again!! AMERICA is already great! AMERICA need to be made GREATER and stronger by building its Military forces for now and the future. Keep the money in military hands and put it to good and better use.
Come on AMERICA WTH !!!!!
