army corps of engineers for the construction of a wall or barrier. i have been a variable opponent of this president's political stunt to construct a wall along our southern border. through emergency supplemental bills, congress has helped american families rebuild their lives after natural disasters and prepare our country for future disasters. this is not a slush fund to be raided by the president. americans have seen their homes and lives destroyed and havoc reaped upon their local community. our government should not abonn done them. i support section 108 of the this bill that prohibits the president from transferring any funds appropriated in this or earlier bills from being used for the construction of this wall. i was also pleased to join with chairs of committee, transportation and infrastructure and subcommittee of miscaupter in challenging the president to re-allocate of the corps projects for the construction of the wall. i ask unanimous consent that a opy of it be placed in the record. the construction of the president's wall is the wrong

and now nobody is interested and that's vf corp in a nutshell i'm a big fan. you know of them as van, timberland and north face and tell you how vf will come to its home once it spins off its jeans business as contour brands i think it's a smart move. vans has become one of the best growth opportunities and while timberland and north face is solid a leaner meaner vf corp is a great idea but spoun off contour brands earlier this month. trades under ktb and no one cared because the timing stinks. the problem, both kontour and vf have a bunch of chinese exposure and in this trade war racked mark investors want nothing to do with chinas that's why vf corp and kontour have been hammered and now worried about retail slowing down williams-sonoma, target and the dollar stores, retail is going out of style on wall street fashion show and sometimes that's all that matters when you're picking stocks so let's did over what's happening. vf corp is a textbook case of a very well run company that still isn't worth buying right yet i think there is a level where it will be wo

i want to you take a look at fleet corp technologies. flt. they handle gasoline, pay cards they're called, toll, lodging expenses, general accounts payable and focused on business to business transactions and it gives a better more efficien way to transfer money from company to company so if your business employs hundreds of drivers you give each one a fleet card to pay and they operate in 80 countries but 88% of the sales come from united states and brazil and united kingdom this might be a perfect place to make money but it is not what anyone would call exciting it didn't matter the market can't get enough fin tech even if this is boring and there is so much merger activity in the space that people say, get me a fin tech and i'll buy it one reason why fleet corp is one of the hottest stocks of 2019 and up 35% year-to-date and last day was number 27. how did that happen to a company that makes cards for gasoline? well someone has to do the wall street fashion show but a lot is company specific, when they became public it was a $23 stock. it
