just another wasted $15B

Unpublished data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection obtained via the Freedom of Information Act showed that Mexican smugglers cut through the wall 3,272 times over three years, according to The Washington Post. In some cases, they replaced the areas they cut with tinted putty, essentially creating secret passages.
So your saying that a United States southern border without a wall at all would be better? It's funny

BS. If you were to talk to the boots on the ground, you would get a different story of what it was like prior to the new wall.

9 times out of 10 when the people in power want to distract the citizens, they start a war. People all over the world were beginning to stand up to against their tyrannical rulers who were imposing all these vax & mask laws.

Nothing like a war to take people's minds off of the problem. Especially with elections getting closer and the Biden administration's poll numbers in the toilet.

Putin probably definitely want to take people's minds off the problems ..

Russia cuts all supplies to USA (pravda.ru)

The trade turnover between the United States and Russia shows that 51 percent of all US imports account for petroleum products and minerals. The list continues with metals (14 percent) and precious metals and stones (14 percent). Cooperation with the Russian Federation is of great importance for the Americans. Russia stops oil supplies to United States

Shipments of petroleum products account for a bulk of all goods that the United States buys from Russia. An increase in the cost of goods has already led to the suspension of certain production in the EU. Many of those branches were owned by US companies. The closure of production will affect them directly - oil shipments from Russia have been discontinued. Gas prices in Europe climb to $2,300

Meanwhile, prices on natural gas in Europe have grown to $2,300 per barrel, according to trading data on the London ICE exchange. The growth in the cost of April futures by the end of the previous trading day had amounted to nearly 20 percent.

By the end of February, the countries of the region had already used up all the volumes that had been piped into underground gas storage facilities in the summer. During the recent weeks, gas prices have risen amid geopolitical tensions due to concerns about supplies from Russia.

This should make a few heads start exploding, on the left:

Vernon Jones Will Nominate Trump for Speaker – And Once the Senate Confirms Impeachment of Biden and Harris “Trump will be President of the United States”

So we have seen several Democrats turn Republican this past last year, obviously for good reason. But, I have my mixed feels about this. Here in Texas, we see a huge influx of people coming from Democratic states/cities. Are they Republicans leaving the Insanity of the Democrat ran state/cities or are they Democrats bringing the insanity with them? Florida is having the same issue.

If the conversion is True then it reminds me of Saul of Tarsus (Paul) in the Bible who did a similar conversion. He started out gathering up Christians and putting them to death, then after his conversion he came to the Disciples. Now I know somewhat how they felt. Do you trust him (them) because of their words.

"When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe he had truly become a believer!" Acts 9:26 NLT

I just pray those who convert become like Paul and are True to their words...

It isn't easy for a couple of dozen protesters to surround the White house, eh? Also, I'm truly hating the word, "Demand" any more. While I most certainly sympathise with the Ukrainian people, I've always lived by the adage that you take care of your own house first. I'm looking at you, Southern Border...
