Some bigger priorities than your fetish fence, Bambi.

[LarryBnDC]

Oh, and one more thing.


The Biden administration will resume construction of the southern border wall as the immigration crisis continues to spiral out of control.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers will restart construction on a 13.4 mile stretch of the wall in the Rio Grande Valley. The decision reportedly follows pressure from local residents and politicians to mend the incessant crossing surge.

Priority repairs are set to begin in six weeks to prevent flooding, followed by the establishment of a concrete levee wall fit with safety barriers in six to nine months. The USACE clarified that the wall will not be expanded on and will only repair the Rio Grande flood levee for the time being.

Say Joe!
About those pipelines.



Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted during a press briefing on the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack Tuesday the best way to transport fuel across parts of the country is pipelines, despite the fact that the Biden administration has revoked pipeline permits, including Keystone XL.

John Kerry, the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, contradicted the Biden administration Wednesday by admitting pipelines are a more efficient way of transporting fuel than train or truck after the administration has revoked pipeline permits, including Keystone XL.



Oh.

This is your usual dishonest false equivalence.   Keystone was to move a toxic extract from tar sands oil called liquid bitumen,  whose spillage is far more damaging than other petro products.   With the gradual switch away from such fossil fuel,  tar sands can be left in the ground,  as it is the most environmentally destructive.  So,  not all pipelines are the same.   Moving finished gasoline, methane,  and jet fuel around,  by pipeline, will continue to make sense as we move through bridge years towards green alternatives.  And Biden isn't revoking those necessary lines.

The US has long had fencing in high-traffic crossing areas,  and this continues that program.   It does not in any way take up Trump's idea to fence over 2000 miles of Mexico border,  because that's insanely stupid and expensive.

I now see now these issues covered more succinctly.   Thanks, Larry.

Expensive? Who cares?  Mexico will pay for it.

Sure.
Whatever makes you feel good.

True or false?

We would be better off now had Biden never demanded immediate halting of the border wall construction.

Reporter to Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm regarding the Cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline:

How does this speed up the efforts at DOE to move in more of a renewable direction since this is going to have an impact on people at the pump?”

Granholm:

....you know, if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly. “



Let them eat cake!

Good answer

Has zero to do with the question

[Hamilton Samuels]

At least 67 Palestinians and seven Israelis have been killed in fighting between Israel's military and Hamas since Monday, per Reuters.

HAMAS reaping what it sowed.

False.

Nothing in the construction efforts between then and now would have made a difference to the state of the country at this time.
