Good Conduct? LOL.
Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, serving a federal prison term for sending sexual material to a child, will reportedly be released from federal prison early.
The New York Democrat will have several months lopped off his 21-moth sentence because of “good conduct time earned,” The Hill reported, citing “a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons.”
Mr. Weiner’s release date has been moved up from August 2019 to May 14, The Hill reported.
Mr. Weiner had been a rising star in the Democratic Party and was married to Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s closest adviser.
However a series of sexting scandals forced him first to resign from Congress and then torpedoed his campaign for New York mayor.
His marriage to Ms. Abedin played an indirect role in defeating Mrs. Clinton, as federal investigators learned from investigating his computer in a child-porn investigation that it contained Clinton emails. That revelation prompted FBI Director James Comey to reopen his investigation of Mrs. Clinton in October, a move she and others have blamed for President Trump’s upset victory.
Weiner pleaded guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor, a 15-year-old girl, as a result of that investigation in May 2017.
Do Not Miss the Comment Section After the Article. Epic. The little poem about Bill is one of the best.
P.S. While the comments and jokes about Weiner are somewhat comical, we all know this is serious business when a grown man sends
disgusting pictures to a 15 yr old girl. I shudder to think whether he will be able to keep his pants zipped. No joke intended.
Pizzagate related well because Anthony Weiner, the Hillary Emails and an elite politician sending filthy pictures to a minor.

Do we really want a wall? The Soviet Union put one up to keep CITIZENS from escaping! The only wall that will keep drug and child traffickers out is AN UNDERGROUND WALL.
JUST LIKE ISRAEL: "The Israeli military is speeding up construction of its first underground border wall.
The 40-mile-long wall will run the length of Israel's border with the Gaza Strip to counter tunnels that Palestinian militants have dug into Israeli territory.
Dozens of tunnels, reportedly running dozens of miles long, have been constructed in attempts to infiltrate Israeli territory and carry out attacks, according to the Israeli military.
"This is now a significant game changer," said Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus.
Work on the "obstacle," as the military dubs it, began last summer. About 2.5 miles are already complete. Now the military says it is accelerating construction, working 24 hours a day, six days a week — breaking only for the Sabbath — to complete the wall by mid-2019." https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2018/01/24/579180146/israel-speeds-up-underground-border-wall-to-block-gaza-tunnels

I guess I should have added an /s...
no... i'm in favor of building large "funneling" landscape additions rather than a wall... to be coupled with autonomous drones, vidya towers and voluntary minuteman/bountyhunter bases placed at the northern edges of the funneling zones.

This does not address the UNDERGROUND drug/child trafficking TUNNELS. The Israelis get it.
"Massive 240-yard drug smuggling tunnel with lights, air shafts and sophisticated support beams linked Mexican cartels with Arizona strip mall"
"Costly: The well-engineered passage to the US cost up to $1.5 million to build and was likely operated by the brutal Sinaloa drug cartel" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2172871/Sophisticated-drug-smuggling-tunnel-linking-Arizona-Mexican-drug-cartels.html
"Agents find two border drug tunnels with rail systems" http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-border-drug-tunnels-20140404-story.html
"“These cartels have spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to create a secret underworld of passages so they can move large quantities of drugs,” said Laura Duffy, the United States attorney for the San Diego region." https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/01/us/tunnel-for-smuggling-found-under-border-tons-of-drugs-seized.html
"A pioneer in the use of tunnels as a means of escape as well as a way around (or underneath) border security, Guzman has commissioned scores of elaborate passageways, some even boasting rail systems, to haul millions of dollars in narcotics into the United States. With these illicit feats of engineering becoming commonplace tools for his organization, the question is, who's helping design and dig?" https://www.curbed.com/2015/7/13/9941210/cartel-el-chapo-drug-tunnel-architect-construction

i have zero experience with tunneling or smuggling, but it seems to me that tunnels would have to be utilized in areas that have buildings and basements and such for camouflage purposes. My funneling idea wouldn't work in the cities anyway...
the vast majority of the border isn't built up enough to accommodate the use of tunnels... that's just my 2 cents... maybe there's long tunnels out in the desert somewhere...
