Upon taking office in January 2021, former President Joe Biden wasted no time in opening the border to any and all comers. In one of his first moves as commander in chief, he ridiculed Donald Trump’s efforts to build a wall and simply abandoned millions of dollars of equipment and supplies that had been intended to fortify our southern boundary.
The global government-surplus auction house that listed unused components of President Donald Trump’s border wall under the Biden administration told Fox News Digital on Friday that it plans to coordinate with the Trump administration to return some of the materials to the federal government.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, GovPlanet – an auction clearinghouse for public-sector and government surplus – announced Friday they have reached a breakthrough deal with the Trump administration.
"GovPlanet has reached an agreement, working with the Office of the Border Czar, to return border wall materials that were previously deemed surplus and sourced by the federal government to GovPlanet via existing contracts," said the company, a subsidiary of an Illinois-founded, British Columbia-based international operation called Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers-RB Global.
Quote from GovPlanet: “We are expediting the transfer of these materials to support the administration’s border protection plans… We value our partnership with the U.S. government.”
"A third-party firm that has been contracted for construction of the border wall will take receipt of the materials over the next 90 days," GovPlanet added.
It’s just one more example of the Trump administration erasing the disastrous failures brought to us by Biden, his VP Kamala Harris, his hapless Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, et al. With each passing day, it seems, the enormity of the damage they did to this country becomes more and more apparent. But it’s 2025 now, and it’s clean-up time.
For years, Biden and his corrupt cronies claimed they were powerless to do anything—they needed more money, more legislation, more everything to stop the tsunami of illegal aliens at the southern border. Of course, Trump obliterated that argument seemingly within minutes of taking office, shutting down the flow overnight and achieving historic prevention numbers, and the border is now tighter than it’s been in generations.
It seems all we needed was a new president.
While overall it’s been satisfying to watch, this latest move of getting back the border materials that Biden abandoned is especially gratifying. It's an extremely well-deserved slam-dunk directly in the faces of the very people who failed us so badly.
Trump is tearing down Biden’s dreadful legacy, one day at a time, one deal at a time, one executive order at a time. Biden probably doesn’t even know this is happening, but I do, and I like it.
The auction house chose to lose their commission on the sale? Someone Honorable? I hope they get a check for that, at least.
ReplyDeleteGot to admire their desire to do the right thing and not rape the taxpayers with the deal. From what I read on another site, they do quite a bit of business with the gov.
