President Joe Biden is building a $490,000 taxpayer-funded security fence around his Delaware beach house.
The Department of Homeland Security awarded a company $456,548 to install the fence in September of last year, according to USAspending.gov. Since the original payment, costs have crept up to $490,324.
"Due to the need to maintain operational security, the U.S. Secret Service does not comment on the means, methods or resources used to conduct our protective operations," the Secret Service told Fox News when reached for comment regarding the construction.
According to USAspending.gov, there have been two additional payments on top of the original $456,548 that led to the current total. A payment of $6,844 was made on Nov. 30, for "SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR WORK WITHIN SCOPE," specifically the installation of three "6X6 GRAVEL PADS AND CRANE SERVICES." The latest payment was made on June 8, to the total of $26,933, for "ADDITIONAL WORK."
The anticipated end date for the construction is given as June 6, 2023.
Biden is expected to head back to the $2.7 million Delaware beach house on Saturday, Fox News reported.

So... There's not a fence around Mar a lago?
It's the Secret Service that's building a fence. Probably in response to daily death threats directed at the President. Who wants a fence around their beach house?
Did Trump once say "Fences do not work"? If so please show us the quote.
Biden and the Democrats have repeatedly claimed they don't as they fenced in the capital; their houses, vacation houses, and everywhere else they go.
I remember the 2016 dem convention. They were going around blabbering the slogan, “build bridges, not walls.” So what did the idiots proceed to do? Build a tall fence around their convention, lol.
Don't forget requiring IDs to get in, while at the same time, saying requiring IDs to vote is racist.
“Don't forget requiring IDs to get in, while at the same time, saying requiring IDs to vote is racist”
Oh yeah, that’s right, lol.
When a segment of our country is so unpatriotic, and under educated that they would take up arms to injury elected officials, even threaten to hang, or kill them, it is commonsense to place barriers between the unforgiven and the forgiven.
Angry lynch crowds have never been a good advocate for democracy.
You mean the segment that did this?
They built some bridges that went nowhere.
You mean like these angry lynch crowds?
Throw in all of the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots.
When it comes to unpatriotic the left has no room to talk about anyone else.
“So... There's not a fence around Mar a lago?”
i’m sure there is. Do you know why? Because fences/walls work.
No, my understanding is there is a STENCH around Mar A Lago that keeps decent folks away and attracts criminals like magots to dead fish. (Source: Steve Bunion, Reporter for the Bird Dropping Institute, A Think Tank for Morons, No Idiots, please!)
One hell of an imagination....
Are you kidding me????? The name Trump HAS to stay on this site, otherwise, there would not be any leftists or "independents" left on here.
I've been watching the "tactics" being used in this article which I find kind of disturbing. Instead of a discussion, I have seen evasiveness and non-answeres. I have made a mental note, so be on guard.
Eye, Eye, Captain. I have observed same.
Is there really much here to discuss?
The Secret Service believes that a security fence is necessary, even though it won't be completed until 18 months before this term ends. For reasons unreported, the costs have increased and the construction completion date has been extended. The cost will represent about 2 1/2 seconds of federal government spending. Folks see some irony and humor in the story since he is opposed building a wall along the U.S.’s southern border, although as a favor to SEN Kelly (AZ), he's approved repairs to the wall in Yuma.
Is there anything else to say. I guess we could discuss the number of days that he isn't in the White House. Anything else?
I'd think that your other 10 comments indicate that you've thought so for the last 2 days.
But isn’t it worn out by now? If you have something to add, please do.
That would be up to the seeder, not you or I.
The thread I was participating in is locked.
Of course, but the question can still be asked.
Since you think the topic is played out, there is an easy solution, stop commenting and take the seed off your tracker. Poof.

Some here like to talk to themselves.
Thread 6.1 locked for meta and slap fighting.
Something has gone awry, I fear, this post has twisted a fence into political fisticuff. Passions run high when an election rolls around. I suppose that has something to do with folks' post.
