Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Tired of all this Winning yet? – Hey, Californian’s, you’re in luck! The feds are going to audit Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown’s high speed rail project, and, if the audit is conducted honestly, will likely conclude that it is time to cut off funding for the single biggest boondoggle in American history.
Yes, dear readers, it isn’t bad enough that California’s utterly corrupt Democrat political class has already wasted billions of Californians’ dollars on this high-speed rail pipe dream, they’ve also already wasted $3.5 billion federal dollars, and are planning on wasting tens of billions more before the atrocity is completed, if indeed it ever is. Thus far, not an inch of rail has been laid, despite the fact that he “project” has already been technically in progress for a decade, and the only segment for which there is even a firm plan is a 119-mile piece of line that would connect Fresno with Bakersfield.
So, they’ve got a plan to span the Central Valley, which covers a whopping 4.7% of the state’s population, but as of today, there is not even an existing plan to connect either end of that segment to Los Angeles or San Francisco, which is the ultimate outcome of the Moonbeam PipeDream. Had the Pantsuit Princess won the 2016 election, nobody in Washington would have given a tinker’s damn about any of this, but Donald Trump won that election, and his administration wants to identify the sinkhole into which that $3.5 billion of federal dollars disappeared before the national government agrees to waste any more money on this idiotic endeavor.
So the Transportation Department’s Inspector General’s office announced on Thursday that it plans to try to figure it all out, and hold some people accountable for the first time in the Moonbeam PipeDream’s 10-year history. If Californian’s are lucky, the IG will uncover good reasons to shut the thing down, and save them from having to fork over any more of their tax dollars for this bit of nitwittery, the estimated completion cost of which has risen from $33 billion to $77 billion in just the last several years.
“Mission Accomplished”, President Trump! – As I write this piece on Sunday morning, President Trump just issued the following hilarious tweet:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump The Syrian raid was so perfectly carried out, with such precision, that the only way the Fake News Media could demean was by my use of the term “Mission Accomplished.” I knew they would seize on this but felt it is such a great Military term, it should be brought back. Use often!
He is, of course, correct on every count where the fake news media is concerned. And if you doubt he used that term intentionally, knowing it would create the exact media action it created, then you just haven’t been paying attention.
Never stop tweeting, Mr. President. Please, never, never, never, ever stop.
A bit earlier on Sunday morning, Mr. Trump tossed these two tweets into the mix:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump The big questions in Comey’s badly reviewed book aren’t answered like, how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail), why did the DNC refuse to give Server to the FBI (why didn’t they TAKE it), why the phony memos, McCabe’s $700,000 & more?
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Comey throws AG Lynch “under the bus!” Why can’t we all find out what happened on the tarmac in the back of the plane with Wild Bill and Lynch? Was she promised a Supreme Court seat, or AG, in order to lay off Hillary. No golf and grandkids talk (give us all a break)!
These are actually really good questions, and they are questions that an honest news media establishment would be demanding that Attorney General Jeff Sessions and everyone else at the Justice Department answer. But, of course, we have a fake news media, one that has been more than happy to allow these questions to linger unasked for over a year and a half now.
The one new revelation mentioned by the President this morning is the allegation in Comey’s book that he felt the need to assume full control of the ultimate disposition of his sham “investigation” into the Pantsuit Princess’s illegal emailing actions due to some “revelation” about then- Attorney General Loretta Lynch about which the American public still has no knowledge.
What, Lynch’s meeting with the suspect’s husband, Bill Clinton, on the tarmac at the Phoenix airport less than a week before the Coughing Crook was to be fake-interviewed by the FBI wasn’t bad enough? Her insistence that Comey refer to the fake investigation as a “matter” and downplay it all to the fake media wasn’t the extent of her malfeasance? There’s even more?
Now, Comey could just be lying about all of this – he’s done so much lying in the public domain already that literally nothing he says can be taken at face value by any sentient being at this point. And if there is something there, it all would be within the scope of the investigation by IG Michael Horowitz into the DOJ/FBI corruption during the 2016 elections, so it is possible we will find out what Comey is talking about when that report is finally, at long last, issued in May.
There is far, far too much relevant information about all of this that is still being withheld from the American public, and that is a direct result of the reality that our country no longer possesses a real, independent media establishment. What Edmund Burke and other founders liked to refer to as the Fourth Estate is dead, so utterly corrupt and agenda-driven that it is completely useless to the public as a source of information and a check on real government abuse.
This reality, far more than any other single factor, is a pressing and direct threat to our nation’s ultimate survival as a free country. Somehow, we must find a means of correcting it.
Just another day in the fake news media actively facilitating corruption America.
That is all.

Please cut off the money $$$ for the Brown Rail.

A good reminder of why I don’t read blogs.
Another punctuation nightmare.

Besides the billions of dollars it would cost, the larger question is why would anyone want to travel to Fresno or Bakersfield?
MSM understands with absolute clarity that patriotism is destructive of NWO. NWO must be achieved because God is dead. Any attempt by patriotic fervor to resurrect God slanders the Illuminati, our only true hope for 1000 years of living in harmony with nature. (naked in caves)
Hey, everybody, the punctuation cop is here, and he’s wrong! LOL.

(My bolding.)
OMG!!! The whole transcontinental railroad was completed in six years from 1863 to 1869, with two years involving that little interruption called the Civil War. Not only that, it was done almost entirely with human and a animal muscle and back powder. Time for our PRESIDENT Trump to go in and kill this whole monstrosity.
...project, and, if the audit...
Talk me what’s right about that dipshit.

Praise Trump. Big construction projects are the number one place that politicians steal money. People should be going to jail.
I doubt that a thin dime has been wasted, every penny has been sucked up by Democrats and their families. This project should support the iron grip of the Democrat voting machine for decades to come.
And a couple of farmers can go shopping in the city some day.
The second comma in that passage can either be included or not included. Either way is proper. Dipshit.
The biggest factor was the scarcity of lawyers at the time.
In your zeal to convince others of your perfection...FAIL!
Talk me what’s right about that dipshit.
Is that a complete sentence?
Sorry, no, that’s wrong. How about “Californian’s”? Are we good there too? No, we’re not, are we?
Thank you for responding to him.
People who spend their lives picking flyshit out of pepper really annoy me, too!
Amazing how hard Trump works for what’s right despite all the constant flak - from both sides....some of us don’t deserve his continuous efforts.
That’s what trolls do.
***Thus far, not an inch of rail has been laid, despite the fact that he “project” has already been technically in progress for a decade,***
Boss Tweed has met his match.
My wife just said she wished he didn’t tweet.
I explained that he does this because all of the Sunday shows are set up to create a narrative for the rest of the week. They will put out their ‘garbage’ and the President never has a chance to respond.
By tweeting on Sunday morning, ‘the shows’ must report what the President is saying in conjunction with their stories.
Voilà...President Trump, trumps their bogus news with his side. Never having to set foot into their studios, send a surrogate, or help their ratings.
Keep on Tweeting.
