Well... that might be true, except that BOTH Democrats AND Republicans are complicit in the cumshaw, baksheesh, bribes, kickbacks, and diversion of funds...

And the border wall will not be completed -No where near - and will not be staffed (which means any moron with a pickup truck and an acetylene torch can get through that fence in minutes).

So the argument is all fallacy.
I'm well aware the problem is on both sides of the aisle, even in the upper echelons of some State Governments, despite attempts to root that out. It's Swamp State perfidy, with a veneer of 'close but no cigar votes' that will keep it that way as long as that is tolerated.

Folks out here are getting less tolerant, and the heat down south may make for hot tempers in areas where there is plenty of room in remote places for shallow holes, and plenty of coyotes to feed.   

No barrier is impregnable--never has been, all I can say about that is that an acetylene tank makes for an interesting rifle target.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If the $40 billion given to the State Department had been spent on drones instead, Russia would no longer have an army.

Venezuela Extradites Two Colombians Who Fought for Ukraine to Russia

Ivan Khomenko  |  Aug 31, 2024  |  11:52

On August 30, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the arrest of two Colombian nationals accused of participating in combat operations on the side of Ukraine. FSB falsely alleges the accused to be mercenaries, despite them reportedly being members of the International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, the individuals were detained in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, and later extradited to Russia.

The sister of one of the detainees reported that they attracted the attention of Venezuelan police due to the Ukrainian military uniforms they had with them. The detainees, Alexander Arte and José Aron Medina, were reportedly on their way home to Colombia with a stopover in Caracas.

Notably, authorities in Colombia, Venezuela, and Russia have not yet commented on the situation. However, if the extradition is confirmed, it would mark the first known instance of foreign citizens who fought on Ukraine’s side being handed over to Russia.  .  .

Russia shelled its own city with Grads.  Seriously.  It is impossible for Ukrainian Grad rockets to travel this far.  There was video posted yesterday showing a 122mm rocket striking a car.


Russia claims 5 killed, 37 injured in Ukrainian attack against Belgorod Oblast

The city of Belgorod and surrounding areas reportedly suffered significant damage to residential buildings and vehicles following an alleged Ukrainian missile attack, according to Russian sources.

Maria Tril  |  31/08/2024

Russian officials report that a Ukrainian attack on Belgorod Oblast resulted in five deaths and 37 injuries in Belgorod city and the surrounding region.

According to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, one woman and four men died at the scene before emergency services arrived.

The attack reportedly wounded 37 civilians, including six children. “Seven adults and three children are in serious condition,” the report states. All injured individuals have been taken to medical facilities in Belgorod for treatment.

The attack also reportedly damaged two apartment buildings, two social facilities, two commercial buildings, and nine vehicles.

In the nearby town of Dubovoye, 13 vehicles were reportedly damaged near a shopping center.  .  .

Oh, and Belgorod is 100% Russian-speaking.  "Liberators and protectors" my ass.  If they'll target Russian civilians in Russia, then they have no problem targeting civilians of every make and model anywhere.

I wish the Ukrainan people the best, but have a deep distrust of their leader.  His alliances with our worst domestic poliitical enemies is a good square 1.  In a perfect world, both Zellinsky and Putin would be eliminated.
