by Axios | 1.9.20

A Louisiana federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled in favor of President Trump's plan to divert $3.6 billion from military projects to build the border wall.

Why it matters: The New Orleans U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' overturning of a Texas judge's order last month that blocked the plan is a victory for Trump, who's faced legal challenges from several groups and states.

Yes, but: The order is only a stay of proceedings and the case is still ongoing, CNN notes.

Of note: The three judges voted along \"ideological lines,\" Politico repwith two Republican-appointed judges voted to temporarily halt the nationwide injunction by the El Paso judge, who had ruled Trump's national emergency declaration to fund the law was unlawful. The other judge, a Democratic appointee, dissented.

For Decades- the world has been dominated by a process called Globalization- the securitization of the worlds political and economic systems- that hollows out and erodes a counties traditions, customs, and religions- all the while conditioning populations to rely on the expertise of a tiny class of technocrats for every aspect of their social and Economic lives. Globalization/The Left/DNC aim to Fool/Scare and Threaten Americans by means of 24/7 MSM/Media Matters/Groups such as Soros Open Society Foundation/ANTIFA/BLM and Indoctrination-Grade Threats on College Campuses and School Districts to force this new cultural concept on all Americans. The Left represents Total Control/Fascism of American lives and culture. This is abundantly clear with DNC actions on Bills/Laws at the state level and Congress. 1A and 2A are under attack- should this fall- the remainder is a cake walk for a Fascist/Globalist DNC Government. DNC supporters speak of returning to Honor and Honestly- and have no concept they have been Fooled by false heavenly narratives of Globalization- which will ultimately ENSLAVE them- and all Americans. When they willing give up their Individual rights for the FALSE notions of the Greater good and Fairness for All- and then realize they have become powerless. The greater good is Always Individual Powers/rights, Individual Choice and Individual culture. The Current Democratic’s want to take this away from you- and you’ll never get it back. Go to bed at night knowing the DNC wants Total Control of your Life, Speech, Thinking and Checking Account. They will stop at nothing to take that from you. The question remains- How did we get here??","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":"","slug":"kag-2020","issue_count":11,"is_following":null,"influence_score":1530,"influence_level":30,"follower_count":59,"following_count":59,"position_count":102,"id":"9XKgrVB7","partner_id":null},{"name":"Donald","vote_count":113,"photos":{"large":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/default-with-flags.png","small":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/default-with-flags.png","tiny":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/default-with-flags.png"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/m4VJ08LA/following","followers":"/api/users/m4VJ08LA/followers"},"about_me":null,"twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":null,"issue_count":0,"is_following":null,"influence_score":570,"influence_level":30,"follower_count":18,"following_count":0,"position_count":24,"id":"m4VJ08LA","partner_id":null},{"name":"Just.Dave","vote_count":288,"photos":{"large":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/90odJdxE/large_90odjdxe-1604717057.jpg","small":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/90odJdxE/small_90odjdxe-1604717057.jpg","tiny":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/90odJdxE/tiny_90odjdxe-1604717057.jpg"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/90odJdxE/following","followers":"/api/users/90odJdxE/followers"},"about_me":"I am 37 years old, therefore technically a millennial, however I don't think I have much in common with that generation. I am old school Republican in regard to equality (not democratic or like the liberal of today, as they are as racist and sexist today as they ever were; changing their tactics only and none of their values... Rather to the likenesses of President Lincoln and President Grant.) I don't think that any individual group has the right to determine the value of another individual or group; which is the reason I am against abortion where a single woman can decide alone the value of the life growing within her womb. I don't believe the federal government should have any real say on this issue, I believe that individual states should look into whether or not abortion fits within the state's values. I am more modern conservative in that way; I believe the federal government should set guidelines for the states to govern themselves under, and not much more than that. I'm less socially conservative on other topics: I don't care about same sex marriage, marry whomever you want, just make sure it's to the right person and actually work through difficult times, don't just go for a convenient divorce... and people can identify as whatever they want, just don't ask for special privileges regarding these social issues... No special treatment for anyone based on age, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, religion, class, etc. because that is also racist, sexist, etc. We are all created equal, with \"created\" being the operative word. Jesus said that a man is not defiled by the things a man puts into his body but by what comes out of his heart. We are not made different by the color of our skin, the food we eat, the music we listen to, the television we watch, but by our words and actions. See the handbook on Conservative Republicanism for all other values.","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":"just.dave","issue_count":8,"is_following":null,"influence_score":1590,"influence_level":30,"follower_count":62,"following_count":96,"position_count":219,"id":"90odJdxE","partner_id":null}],"article_comment":{"flagged":false,"id":1160206,"body":"Why ask this question after the courts said he could?
