Haven't you seen, the Department of Homeland Security has said that they are going to finish some holes in the wall.

At the border or at Biden’s beach house in Delaware. He’s putting up an 8 million dollar wall around his place near rehoboth beach. Less than an acre. Or I should say we are.

There us some merit there . The difference in there and many other countries we are “ helping” is that in these two we are not trying “ install” a government we like. We care only truely helping not dictating-

You probably don't believe we should have entered WWII. At what point would you admit we should have stopped Putin in Ukraine, rather than in our homeland? The same goes for China and Taiwan.

Actually is it us 455k not 8 million

A bit less than the 580k mar a lago

Of course Biden isn’t charging secret service rent the way trump did

Dennyt is correct, I was in error. It’s $450k. I read a commentary on it. Here is the local link. When I’m wrong I’m wrong. Sorry.

We had no choice but to enter World war II because we were attacked. Did you not read history?

We had no choice to enter into war with Japanese. BUT We were not attacked by Germany . Germany did declared war on America in Dec 11.
Until that time Roosevelt has stayed out of European war.
