Photos: Contractor Who Was Building Trump's Wall Officially Builds 1st Section of Border Wall for Texas

Even though the Biden administration halted construction of the border wall in January, Texas decided to take matters into its own hands.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared photos of the project in a Twitter thread on Friday showing the progress made in the effort ordered by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.

Melugin reported that the state is using the same contractor that the Trump administration used, which is good news for that company.

The goal is to fill “gaps” in the Starr County region of the Rio Grande Valley, where migrants are constantly flowing through.

In addition, the construction is taking place on state land using state funds, which would make it extremely difficult for the federal government to pursue action against Texas.

But the federal government has already made its disapproval clear, as it has refused to sell the steel that is quite literally sitting at the border, since it was meant to be used for a wall that was under construction during former President Donald Trump’s administration, Melugin reported.

Right now, it is only 1.7 miles long, but it is a crucial starting point for the state’s self-sufficient project.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush told “The Donlon Report” on NewsNation on Thursday about the critical decision to secure the border without...

Appearing on ‘Fox News Sunday,’ Sen. Joe Manchin said he could not support President Biden and Nancy Pelosi’s multi-trillion-dollar spending plan, tanking Build Back Bankrupt.

In “The Hollow Men,” poet T. S. Eliot wrote that the world would end not with a bang but a whimper. To much of the left, their world (for the time being, anyway) ended Sunday morning on a Fox News soundstage.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, indicated he could not support the multi-trillion-dollar spending plan President Biden and congressional Democrats had spent the second half of this year working to enact.

“I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there….This is a no on this legislation. I have tried everything I know to do,” Manchin said.

Procedurally, Manchin’s comments carry no official weight. Democrats could still work to rewrite the legislation to meet his concerns and resurrect its chances for passage, much as they did with Obamacare following the shock election of Republican Scott Brown to Massachusetts’ U.S. Senate seat in January 2010.

But tonally, it feels like the end of the road, with Manchin speaking in a resigned, even deflated tone, much more in sorrow than in anger. If he could not bring himself to support the legislation after nearly six months of negotiations and deliberations, it seems unlikely that anyone or anything could get him to...

BUSTED: Fauci & Collins Conspired To Discredit Dissenting Scientists … And Google Helped

Think back to October 2020. The election hung in the balance, CNN had a COVID death clock, and labcoat authoritarians were entrenching their ability to micromanage our lives. And now this.

An email now reveals that the scientists who were running point on our pandemic response didn’t just ignore dissenting opinions, but they actively looked for ways to smear and discredit them as ‘fringe’ or cranks– even when it involved Nobel Laureats.

Because Fauci and Collins are far more serious scientists than any Nobel Laureate, right? After all, Fauci IS the science. He’s said so.

How exactly does someone like Fauci or Collins get to be the gatekeeper of a discipline whose very existence depends on conflict between dissenting ideas?

Simple. They do it by cheating and by colluding with powerful media and tech players.

The key dates to watch here as the story unfolds are the publishing of the Great Barrington Declaration on October 4, the email between Collins and Fauci on October 8th, and action taken by Google no more than 4 days later.

October 4: Great Barrington Declaration

In October of 4 2020, a group of scientists came forward with ‘The Great Barrington Declaration‘, it’s a document written and now signed by a great number of well-qualified medical practitioners of various types and backgrounds as well as members of the public who agree with the premises therein.

Here’s a screenshot from the page as it appears today.

And a screenshot from that same page describing the original authors:

Harvard? Oxford? Stanford? And a Nobel Laureate as well? If this were an alarmist document pushing climate change, this would be cited in every major news source. But as with all Corporate News selective appeals to authority these days, dissenting voices are dismissed and squeezed out as ‘fringe’.

Serious scientists would face the claims made by rival schools of thought, put them to the test, and change or refine their own opinions based on the result of those studies. Unfortunately, Fauci and Collins are NOT serious scientists.

October 8: Collins and Fauci React

They had a far more ‘progressive’ way to defeat a rival school of thought. Wage a propaganda war to destroy the dissenters.

They would never do such a thing, would they?

Well, here’s a tweet by one of the authors of the GBD.

If you open up that tweet, you will find the following creepy email inside. Names are highlighted in red, the date in green, and we’ve brought attention to one especially jackbooted phrase in the body of the email itself.

[For proper context of what had him so worked up, we will include the full text of the document at the end of the article.]

It wasn’t underway yet, but Fauci obviously passed that message on to somebody and it was duly heard, understood, and acknowledged by ideological shock troops somewhere.

The GBD was published on October 4th. On the afternoon of the 8th, Collins and Fauci are plotting to take them down with extreme prejudice.
