If you see the headline, Biden has resumed border wall construction, or anything like it, share it with a big grain of salt or don’t share it at all. The US Army corps has begun work at the border, but no actual wall is being built.
The Wall
CNN: “Why some say Mexico already built Trump’s wall — and paid for it”
That’s CNN’s headline, ladies and gentlemen. And they are not being snarky. The message from Mexicans is that Mexico has built ‘Trumps’ wall, and Mexicans are paying for it.
GrokTV: Windham GOP – Candidate for US Senate, General Don Bolduc (ret.) Q&A Part 3
This is the last of the clips from the Windham GOP event with Gen. Don Bolduc (ret.) from last night. It is also the most heartrending one, both from last night as well as for almost any other video segment I have ever done here at GraniteGrok. The person asking the question and I have … Read more
Mexico WILL be paying for The Wall…heh!
Although I’d rather him have started with a fairly hefty tax on remittances sent back to home countries – but this should work: On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our … Read more
Is Mexico finally “paying for The Wall”?
Steve beat me (“Mexico Just Busted Up A Caravan – Hundreds Arrested“) in putting up the news that the Central American “caravans” may be near the end of their political lifespans. We’ve been writing about these for a while now as we at GraniteGrok do see them as a slow rolling existential threat given the … Read more
Every day an Average of Five People are Killed by Illegal Aliens in Our Country.
Every day an average of five people (DHS numbers) are killed by illegal aliens in our country. Every day five more families grieve because politicians refuse to enforce our laws. President Trump is fighting to enforce our laws to save lives. Democrat leaders led by Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer and supported by our delegation … Read more
Many Dems were for a wall before it became Trump’s wall
Sometimes a squabble is about a principle, a comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine, or assumption. Other times it is about a principal, a person who has controlling authority or is in a leading position. Occasionally a squabble is about principle on one side and principal on the other. Such is the case with respect to … Read more
Ted Cruz: Make El Chapo Guzman Pay for the Wall
Ted Cruz has a plan to provide funding for the Wall. Make a Mexican Drug lord pay for it. Cruz has reintroduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order Act, or EL CHAPO Act, to Congress. The bill would designate any money and assets seized from notorious gangster Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and allocate … Read more
Local News in San Diego Exposes CNN’s Bias over Border Coverage
Sorry for the double-tap on the Current Narrative Network (CNN). But a local news channel in San Diego shared a story on the air, calling out CNN for trying to make news instead of reporting it. Which is not news to us but it is news. As part of their coverage of the border fence debate, CNN decided … Read more
Do you know WHERE the Democrats agreed to build a Wall?
Yep. So one of two things is true: either the Democrats have no problem in blowing $500 million of your hard earned money on something that doesn’t work Or the Democrats DO believe that Walls work. So which is it? I think they’re two faced about funding and building OUR Wall. Very much so. Me? I think … Read more
Former Director of ICE Performs Epic Take-down of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Former ICE Director Thomas Homan had some thoughts to share about some rumors going’ round. Socialist scion Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), the current go-to media darling for State-run media don’t know much about history. Or anything else.
Blogline of the Day – well, they’d be a deterrent as well, right?
“Am I the only one who realizes that landmines would be cheap, easy, and definitely not a wall?” I think that this was done tongue-in-cheek. Also, I remember a discussion back a few years that one sure way to keep those that should not be crossing our borders was to have Ma-dueces mounted on towers … Read more
What’s ‘immoral’ about caring for America’s poor first?
By Betsy McCaughey
Congressional Dems are butting heads with President Trump over his demand for $5 billion to continue building a wall along the southern border. Likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vows she won’t spend one dollar for a wall and calls the idea “immoral.”
Not building the wall is what’s truly immoral.
Did Trump Just Get Mexico to Pay for ‘The Wall’?
Donald Trump’s recent trade reform with Mexico scraps NAFTA and replaces with it something much more beneficial to the United States. It does a lot to level the playing field and while the Unions want to see the final language before they sing its praises initial rumors suggest they are pleased.
The trade reforms will be a boon to auto and auto parts manufacturers and encourage more manufacturing in the United States, not just for the car business. A shift that could result in a lot more jobs, more work, and yes – more tax revenue.
Omnibus in Spiritus Sanctum
(Restored) Mike Rogers joins me to discuss how Mr. Trump might be able to use the Omnibus as written to build his wall, and whether he can or will just give large sums he has no intention of spending back to the treasury – and whether Congress can do anything about that. This program has been reposted after … Read more
