Crews Begin Construction of New Wall at El Paso-Juárez Border


On the U.S.-Mexico border, construction crews have begun work on a new steel wall separating El Paso, Texas, from neighboring Ciudad Juárez. The new 4-mile-long section of 18-foot-high wall will replace an existing border fence, at an estimated cost of $22 million. This is El Paso County Commissioner David Stout speaking at a protest against the wall earlier this week.

David Stout: “It damages this community, because ours is a binational community. We all have family, friends and co-workers who live on that side and work here, or vice versa. And in my opinion, we’re sending a very ugly message to our brothers in Mexico, while it’s one of the countries we in the United States depend on the most economically, especially the communities along the border.”

Immigrant Fathers & Children on Hunger Strike in Texas Detention Center


Elsewhere in Texas, immigrant rights groups say some 70 immigrant fathers and some of their children have launched a hunger strike as they languish inside the Karnes County detention center, a for-profit immigration jail under contract with ICE. The fathers on strike had been previously separated from their children at the U.S.-Mexico border under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” crackdown. Now reunited behind bars, fathers and their children are demanding immediate freedom. This is one of the hunger strikers, speaking by phone with the group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders.

Father in ICE detention: “Today we started a hunger strike. Our children are with us. They are not attending their schools, nor are they eating. We are afraid that ICE is going to retaliate against us and separate us again, as they separated 16 parents on August 15th. … I don’t understand the laws of this country. They are unjust. The majority of the parents who were reunited were freed.”
The hunger strike at Karnes detention center comes as new numbers released by the Trump administration show at least 136 migrant children separated from their parents at the border are still in U.S. government custody, more than two months after a deadline set by a federal judge for reunification. Three of the children are under the age of 5.

No problemo just release them back across the border--problem solved.

What is going on in the world that is likely far more important than this fiasco of an appointment of A supreme court nomination???
Obviously merit has nothing to do with how a v**e is reached so can we take a few minutes and talk about something else?

Are we still fighting with ISIS and/or an Al Qaeda? What’s North Korea up to, are they still making nuclear weapons? Any resolution to what China and the United States is doing in their trade work? Or how about Mexico and the NAFTA agreement???

Is Iran building a secret area for their nuclear capacity later on? Who’s helping them do that by the way? And what the heck is Russia doing with all the stuff we had so much going on about??? Did Russia just drop off the face of the earth too?

What about the upcoming November e******ns?? Is all these ridiculous, ad nauseam discussions really leading us up to the November e******ns,? If so how?

Aren’t you just a little bored looking at how many discussions there are over this appointment? Nothing more important to you about our country? Wow!!!

"As for our military being socialist, in some ways it fits the socialist model. Primarily due to its funding being totally from the taxpayers. " - JoyV

Some people may need to refer to and pay attention to the Preamble to the Constitution?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
**** provide for the common defence, ****
promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

BTW; The Constitution does not disallow "socialism"; it just puts restrictions on socialism.
Abuse has been proven to be too easy.

For years and years they told me,

Be careful of your breasts.

Don’t ever squeeze or bruise them,

And give them monthly test.



So, I heeded all their warnings,

And protected them by law.

Guarded them very carefully,

And I always wore my bra.



After 30 years of astute care,

My gyno, Dr. Pruitt

Said I should get a Mammogram.

“O.K.” I said “let’s do it.”



“Stand up here real close” she said,

(She got my boob in line),

“And tell me when it hurts, she said,

“Ah yes! Right there, that’s fine”.



She stepped upon a pedal,

I could not believe my eyes!

A plastic plate came slamming down,

My hooter’s in a vise!



My skin was stretched and mangled,

From underneath my chin.

My poor boob was being squashed,

To Swedish pancake thin.



Excruciating pain I felt,

Within it’s vise-like grip.

A prisoner in this vicious thing,

My poor defenseless tit!



“Take a deep breath” she said to me,

Who does she think she’s kidding?!?

My chest is mashed in her machine,

And woozy I am getting.



“There, that’s good” I heard her say,

(The room was slowly swaying.)

“Now, let’s have a go at the other one.”

Have mercy, I am praying.



It squeezed me from both up and down,

It Squeezed me from both sides.

I’ll bet SHE’S never had this done

To HER tender little hide.



Next time that they make me do this,

I will request a blindfold.

I have no wish to see again,

My knockers getting steamrolled.



If I had no problem when I came in,

I surely have one now.

If there had been a cyst in there,

It would have gone “ker-pow!”



This machine was created by a man,

Of this I have no doubt.

I’d like to stick his balls in there,

And see how THEY come out….

Top of the morning to you Mom.

The Demon-crat got an iinexperinced yes man (?) that was anti-America and gready for money who they could control in office.

They robbed trillions of dollars from the treasury that ended up in their own pockets. They tried to continue their little game but enough true Americans woke up and elected a man who knew how to run a large company and was a billionaire who didn't need the money.

Once President Trump locked the taxpayers cookie jar and started draining the swamp the Demon-crat went crazy and the mudslinging began.

Semper Fi mom
God bless America and President Trump

Awee, you can do it every time!! I make enough, for sure

We all think about what we want to share.. Don't worry about it Mom, you say exactly what you want to say!!! And you do perfectly!’

Should not get you pisted😅.. nothing is worth that.. You know we come to share opinions and learn different perspectives that's all.. Don't let anyone or anything ever upset you in here.. With a click they are gone!!! Passion a driving force of love
Keep it that way in your beautiful heart!!🌺🌹❤️
