Fox News: 'Standing by to help': Red state reveals plan to purchase auctioned border wall materials to store for Trump
Texas officials plan to purchase and store border wall materials auctioned by the federal government, with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick expressing intent to bid on them. He claims to have significant funds available and aims to support the incoming Trump administration's border security efforts.
The Biden administration halted border wall construction in 2021, leading to the auctioning of excess materials. While some argue the wall is essential for immigration control, others criticize it as ineffective. The Pentagon stated that the materials are no longer government property and cannot be recalled.

Human Events: JULIO RIVERA: Trump will make American cybersecurity great again
As the Biden administration's tenure comes to an end, America faces critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities. President Trump must act decisively against state-sponsored cyber threats from nations like Russia, China, and Iran, while addressing a significant talent shortage in the cybersecurity workforce.
Despite Microsoft’s calls for stronger measures, its own history of breaches raises questions about its reliability. The Trump administration has the opportunity to reform cybersecurity agencies, foster public-private partnerships, and invest in education to bridge the skills gap.
