Workers toiled in intense 95-degree heat here Tuesday, putting final touches on eight possible versions of President Donald Trump’s long-promised border wall.

EDITOR’S NOTE: After decades of nothing but hot air and empty promises on securing the border, President Trump is keeping his campaign promise to do just that. Border wall prototypes are now nearly complete, and at an imposing 30ft high, these will be walls that anyone will be able to get around, over or under. Good job, Mr. President, now please move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem so you can check off another one of your major promises. #maga

As an Oct. 26 deadline to finish the prototype border wall designs drew near, The Arizona Republic toured the construction site a few dozen yards from the border that divides this city from neighboring Tijuana, Mexico.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection awarded eight contracts to six companies, including two from Arizona, to build the prototypes. Four are made of reinforced concrete, and another four incorporate additional construction materials. Construction began on Sept. 26, giving companies 30 days to finish.

By Tuesday afternoon, when CBP allowed The Republic access to the site, five of the wall designs had already been completed and were fenced off with caution tape.

But crews were still at work on others, installing vertical concrete panels on one design, using cranes and bulldozers to place them upright. Another two prototypes were in various stages of construction.

Border wall prototypes almost complete:

The construction site is about 2 miles east of San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing, in the foothills of the Otay Mountains.

At 30 feet, the designs dwarf the primary fence that currently marks the international boundary — it’s made of rusted Vietnam War-era landing mats. They are nearly twice the height of the secondary metal-mesh fence, which ends near where the prototypes are being built.

Their height, officials said, is intended to make a statement to criminals and would-be unauthorized crossers: Stay away.

“The 30 feet is very impressive,” said Mario Villareal, the division chief for the San Diego Sector Border Patrol. “What we’re trying to accomplish is by putting tactical infrastructure on the border, by having all-weather roads, by putting Border Patrol agents on the immediate border is the deterrence.”

Whether the border-wall prototypes keep people away, will be closely scrutinized in the coming weeks. After they are done, CBP will move to the “test and evaluation” of each of the eight structures.

All of the finished prototypes, as well as the one that’s nearly completed, employ concrete as the main construction material. But the designs of some vary greatly.

For example, one built by a Maryland company uses concrete at the base with the top two-thirds featuring blue metal panels. Another, built by an Alabama company, has a wide concrete base that gives way to a thinner frame halfway up the structure.

Notably, only one of the completed designs incorporates see-through features that would allow Border Patrol agents to monitor activity on the other side of the border.

Initially, Trump called for a solid reinforced concrete design, and several of the finished prototypes seemed to fit that description. Under advisement from CBP, the administration later included “see-through features” in its call for submissions.

A second design by the Alabama company features metal bars for the first half of the prototype, narrowly spaced and resembling the bollard-style fencing commonly used at the border in Arizona’s urban areas. But the top half has what appears to be solid concrete panels.

Border Patrol Agent Theron Francisco, who is stationed in the San Diego sector, said the ability to see across the border can be beneficial. It’s an option they don’t have now with landing-mat fencing in the area.

“It’s good to be able to see through the south side. We can see them, they can see us,” he said. “But in a way, it can be negative because we’re always being watched. They always can see us. It goes both ways.”

Of the six companies CBP chose to build the prototypes, two are from Arizona. But as of Tuesday, only one of the companies had finished building its design.

Francisco said Tempe-based Fisher Sand & Gravel was among the first to complete construction of its prototype, building it “in a matter of days.”

The concrete design is made up of three long, concrete frames that gently slope upward from the U.S. side, but are completely vertical on the south side. The  concrete is a light tan, nearly the same color as the dusty soil it stands on.

Next to it, workers with the other Arizona company, KWR Construction of Sierra Vista, were digging the foundation for their design, which incorporates materials other than concrete.

On Tuesday, it was unclear what materials would be used or what the final design would look like.  The cost of eight contracts ranges from $320,000 to $480,000. CBP has already appropriated the funds to pay for them. source

Walmart Becomes Latest Major Corporation To Rollback DEI Policies As Trump Landslide Win Already Reversing The Tide Of Obama-Era Wokeness

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, is rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, joining a growing list of major corporations that have done the same after Donald Trump win. Woke is dead, and that’s good.

This Thanksgiving, one of the things you can be thankful for is that it looks like many of the woke policies put in place by Barack and Michelle Obama, and kept in place by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, just might finally be coming to an end. Policies like DEI hiring that mandates that a person get a job based, not on merit and qualifications, but on skin color and gender identity. Walmart is just one of many major corporations to begin rolling back the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies they were forced to enact. This is happening because Donald Trump just won in a landslide. Winning is good.

“And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.” Mark 5:9 (KJB)

America is a diverse nation, and to a large degree, that diversity is our strength. But that only applies when talking about organic diversity as it is naturally found amongst our people. The artificial diversity created by the DEI and pronouns crowd is demonic in nature, and gives power to the most base elements of our society. Biological men do not belong in the ladies room, transgenders do not belong on the battlefield, and who wants their pilot or surgeon to hold those positions by virtue of their gender identity? So kudos to Walmart, as well as Toyota, Ford, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, John Deere and other corporations who are voting for a return of sanity. The incoming Trump era is already bearing fruit, and that’s a lot to be thankful for. Now go out and tell lost people about salvation in Jesus Christ.

Walmart the latest big corporation to scale back DEI policies after pressure from conservative activists

FROM CBS NEWS: The changes, confirmed by Walmart on Monday, are sweeping and include everything from not renewing a five-year commitment for an equity racial center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd to pulling out of a prominent gay rights index. And when it comes to race or gender, Walmart won’t be giving priority treatment to suppliers.

Walmart’s moves underscore the increasing pressure faced by corporate America as it continues to navigate the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June 2023 ending affirmative action in college admissions. Emboldened by that decision, conservative groups have filed lawsuits making similar arguments about corporations, targeting workplace initiatives such as diversity programs and hiring practices that prioritize historically marginalized groups.

Separately, conservative political commentator and activist Robby Starbuck has been going after corporate DEI policies, calling out individual companies on the social media platform X. Several of those companies have subsequently announced that they are pulling back their initiatives, including Ford, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and Harley-Davidson.

But Walmart, which employs 1.6 million workers in the U.S., is the largest one to do so.

“This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America,” Starbuck wrote on X, adding that he’d been in conversation with Walmart.

Walmart confirmed to The Associated Press that it will better monitor its third-party marketplace items to make sure they don’t feature sexual and transgender products aimed at minors. That would include chest binders intended for youths who are going through a gender change, the company said. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer will also be reviewing grants to Pride events to make sure it isn’t financially supporting sexualized content that may be unsuitable for kids. For example, the company wants to makes sure a family pavilion isn’t next to a drag show at a Pride event, the company said.

Additionally, Walmart will no longer consider race and gender as a litmus test to improve diversity when it offers supplier contracts. The company said it didn’t have quotas and won’t do so going forward. It won’t be gathering demographic data when determining financing eligibility for those grants.

The changes come soon after an election win by former President Donald Trump, who’s criticized DEI initiatives and surrounded himself with conservatives who hold similar views, including his former adviser Stephen Miller, who leads a group called America First Legal that has challenged corporate DEI policies. Trump named Miller to be the deputy chief of policy in his new administration. READ MORE

The American People Voted To Repeal Wokeism, Abortion, Transgender Tyranny, DEI, Inflation, Open Borders And The Entire Main Stream Media

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America voted for America last Tuesday night, and rejected the radical woke agenda offered by Kamala Harris and the Democrat machine, but what comes now?

Last Tuesday night, the American people voted across the board to rid our nation of about a half-dozen things that no one wanted. Voters said with their ballots that they were tired of a bad economy with high inflation, tired of open borders and the endless procession of illegals flooding our states, and tired of the Obama Transgender Manifesto that sought to elevate the perceived needs of a resounding minority above and beyond the needs of the majority. The best part? Donald Trump was handed his landslide mandate by a wonderful coalition of blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, and yes, even LGBT voters. In short, America voted for America, and America won, but how long can we hang on to it?

“Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.” Psalm 9:20 (KJB)

So the question is, having received the a generational drubbing at the polls, has the Democratic Left actually learned anything at all about what the people want? It would appear they have not. America is now, and has always been, a very diverse nation, but people inherently understand that going to far to either extreme invites disaster. Much of how the Left is reacting right now is more in line with mental illness than it is with good old voter dissatisfaction. Reactions like women shaving their heads on social media, endless videos of Democrats dissolving into hysterical weeping and cries of ‘racism and misogyny’ because Hispanics and blacks ‘didn’t want a mixed race woman’.

What they didn’t want, and what a majority of America didn’t want, was a puffed-up media creation candidate who ran on promising to fix all the things she helped break for the past 4 years. On top of that, the Democrats ran a vice presidential candidate who literally skipped and pranced while blowing kisses around the podium at rallies like Richard Simmons. It was truly a clown show, and America was not buying.

America said no to the radical woke agenda offered by the Democrats, and signaled a desire to return to a time when people had more common sense, protected children instead of indoctrinating them, and rewarded workers based not on their color of their skin, or gender, but on their own merits, efforts and hard work. But make no mistake about it, we are still living in the last days, and we are still a nation that rejects God if you use any sort of a biblical standard. Perilous times lay ahead, and Trump’s mandate will be thwarted by the Democrats every chance they get. Things are exactly as you would expect them to be here on Day 1,702 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and there remains much work to be done for the LORD. It is up to us who are saved to step up to the plate. Now. TO THE FIGHT!!!

After An Overwhelming And Decisive Election Day Win, George Soros Funded Pro-Palestinian Anti-Trump Protests Erupt Across Several Democrat Cities

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In Chicago, a day after America decided, the United States Palestinian Community Network protested Donald Trump’s victory at Federal Plaza.

When Americans went to the polls on Tuesday, they voted across the board in favor of the platform that Donald Trump campaigned for president on, decisively and overwhelmingly. Trump won the Electoral College vote, the Popular vote, he won in the House, in the Senate and in the governors races. The American people not only voted him in in a landslide, they gave him a clear mandate to enact key Trump agenda items like immigration control and reform. Thousands of George Soros funded Pro-Palestinian agitators don’t see it that way, and last night in Chicago and Philadelphia, they took to the streets calling for an end of the nascent Trump presidency that won’t even begin until January 21st, 2025.

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestinaart dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.” Isaiah 14:31 (KJB)

America is a nation of immigrants, and that is part of our strength. My dad’s family arrived here in 1732 from Germany by way of Holland and France, and my mom’s family arrived on a boat from Scotland at Ellis Island in 1922. Legal immigration is good and necessary in order to maintain our super-sized nation with the workforce needed to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. George Soros, and now his son Alex Soros, spend tens of millions of dollars per year to flood our streets with political agitators like the ones in our story today. Soros and the Democrats are the ones keeping racism alive, fomenting hatred and causing division. Donald Trump stands for American sovereignty over our borders, and they hate him for that. Donald Trump supports the Jewish state of Israel, and they hate him for that, too.

Palestinian advocates protest in Chicago after Trump win, immigration rights advocates also worry

FROM CBS NEWS: President-elect Donald Trump won more votes in Illinois this general election than he did in either of the two previous elections in which he ran. Immigration and the economy are two key issues that got people to the polls this election—and ultimately led to a victory for Trump nationwide.

In Chicago, a day after America decided, the United States Palestinian Community Network protested Trump’s victory at Federal Plaza.

“Our issues are with both parties,” said Hatem Abudayyeh of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “Both parties support Israel unequivocally.”

Vice President Kamala Harris underperformed with key parts of the Democratic coalition, while Trump made some inroads. Organizers of the protest said the current administration was warned of this outcome if the War in Gaza persisted and U.S. funding to Israel continued.

“They are not going to be able to take for granted the people that are represented here, the movements that are represented here,” said Abudayyeh.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated President-elect Trump, calling his victory history’s greatest comeback. And despite campaign threats of mass deportations, Trump won 45% of the Latino vote—a double-digit increase from 2020.

“The fear factor and the rhetoric, you know, is real,” said Lawrence Benito of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Benito said his organization is ready to respond. “Obviously, we reject mass deportation agenda, and we’re going to continue to fight back,” said Benito. READ MORE

Organizers of the protest said the current administration was warned of this out come if the War in Gaza persisted and U.S. funding to Israel continued. Meanwhile, as Charlie De Mar reports, immigrants’ rights advocates are also concerned about what will happen in the new Trump administration.
