WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is considering shifting millions of dollars approved by Congress to build an intelligence center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton to help finance a wall championed by President Donald Trump across the Mexican border.

The list of potential cuts, which was released Monday by Senate Democrats, could impact military construction projects not only at Wright-Patterson, but also at Camp Ravenna, Mansfield, Toledo and Youngstown.

It was the first time the Pentagon has provided Congress with a list of military construction projects which could be delayed to build the border barrier. Even though the Ohio projects are included on the list, it does not guarantee they will be delayed.

6. "Trump Comes Out Strongly Against Intelligence" . . .

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Using some of his harshest rhetoric in recent memory, President Donald J. Trump came out strongly against intelligence on Wednesday morning.

“I’ve listened to these people with so-called intelligence go on and on, and, quite frankly, it’s a waste of time,” he said. “I know a lot more than people with intelligence do.”

Trump added that he has stopped receiving intelligence briefings at the White House, arguing, “I can do my job without any intelligence whatsoever.”

He said that he has chosen, instead, to seek advice from his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and from his elder children, Ivanka, Eric, and Donald, Jr. “You won’t find a trace of intelligence in anything they say,” he boasted.

At a briefing for the White House press corps, the President’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, denied that Trump’s war on intelligence was a new development. “Intelligence has never played a role in Donald Trump’s life,” she said.

He said they want attention, told people not to give it to them.
