different border, and no. The liberal democrats(read socialist) have not given the funding to enforce our border, yet have voted in the recient budget to send multi millions to several other countries so they can enforce theirs.

I used to do that back in the `80s. Great fun! Huge rush! Dangerous as hell. I had a crazy instructor that pushed way faster than he should have. My third jump was freefall. By the time I had 15 jumps in my log I nearly died 3 times. On the day of my first jump we were watching the instructor with the open hanger door behind him. We saw an experienced skydiver hit the ground not 15-20 feet outside the hanger door simultaneously as his parachute. He fractured his back in a few places and was hauled out in an ambulance. He was experienced with 2000 jumps. Then one of the students in my class jumped and refused to follow directions or make a single turn. She disappeared on the horizon and ended up in a tree. Had to be rescued by fire department. She almost hit a power line too. At 20 jumps I decided the risk was too high. I did get to fly the Ferrari of parachutes once. It had a forward speed of 35 mph and could turn on a dime. I jumped it in very high winds, roughly 35-40 mph (wind picked up after we went up) The airport was going by at lightning speed as i approached, then I made a 180° turn and I was struggling to get back to the airport. Then as I reached the airport the wind gusted and I was flying backwards even with the fast canopy. i ended up landing in a ditch going backwards. Not dangerous, quite funny actually. One time I was freefalling and had packed my own parachute. Turns out I packed it incorrectly and it opened MUCH too fast and I almost came completely out of the harness. i was barely hanging on by my elbows and the backs of my knees. Had I fallen out of that harness I would have lost both my main and backup parachute. That thing opened so hard I was sore for a week or two. Even my teeth hurt. My socks rolled down to the tops of my sneakers. I packed it like they taught me for students that DO NOT freefall. They do not fall very fast. I was falling at 110mph and it was like hitting a wall when it opened.

Trump got plenty of money. He will use some of it to build a wall. Obama had limitations on how certain moneys in the budget could be spent, but he ignored it and spent the money on what he wanted. Congress did not do a thing about it. I think that is why Trump did not veto the omnibus bill. He will get what he wants. Besides, these is so much more going behind the scenes that will change the country and the world forever. 2018 will be an awesome year.
