WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed a massive spending bill on Friday, providing hundreds of billions of dollars for the Department of Defense and averting the threat of a federal government shutdown at least until December.

The bill includes $675 billion to fund the Defense Department for the full year ending on Sept. 30, 2019, as well as additional funds for the wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and $180 billion for the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Departments.

It also includes a measure to keep the federal government open until at least Dec. 7, even though Congress has not yet passed full-year appropriations bills covering every department.

Only if.... enough of their citizens return home (for fear of deportment?), thus saving the US the cost of their support.  Haven't seen the stats on that yet.  So I doubt it.  (yeah, I know it was sarc)

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

There are reports of it being built in New Mexico and Texas.  Mainstream Media, not gateway pundit, not breitbart

Border Wall construction begins in Texas:

And at least, it is an issue with Americans, instead of fast tracking these people to citizenship under Democratic rule.

So, he said Mexico will pay for it, we will see. Sounds like a tall order, at least, these issues are on the table.

And how about all of the drugs that come through?

And how about all of the human trafficking stopped?

Would that save money? It's a hard problem to solve but I don't think people should be so gleeful that he has not done it in less than two years.

Some stats, I don't know how accurate they are, say fentanyl or heroin overdoses kill over a hundred people a day in this country. It doesn't all come from Mexico but some does.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I’m Pinning ideas for my oldest daughter’s First Communion. Looks like the color is going to be rose gold. Anyway, these reminded me of you.

When Trump talked about a wall I thought it was supposed to span the border.  Not a four mile section.  Not fence patching.  Replace 4 miles with broken down on either sides.  That seems like a huge waste of money.

Senate Republicans can't even confirm a SCOTUS nominee, Trump didn't write the bill, yeah, let's blame him.


Fairly certain he didn’t write the tax cut legislation, either, but he sure accepts credit for it.
