The Trump administration officially canceled $929 million in federal grants earmarked for California’s ambitious high-speed rail project, escalating tensions between the federal government and the most-populous U.S. state.

Governor Gavin Newsom, through a spokesman, vowed a court fight.
“It is now clear that California has no foreseeable plans, nor the capability, to pursue that statewide HSR System as originally proposed,” Batory wrote.

Cal. leadership knew all to well this was coming.....Trump certainly warned them months ago......so let them whine that they can no longer have funds to use as they want.

It’s a start...
California the DREAMLAND that is wished i lived in as a kid (TV).
40 yrs later i have ZERO intention of EVER visiting the left coast.
Been to Nevada via MA 9 time and maybe more someday but that is the farthest west i ever plan on going.
If i want to be surrounded by MOONBATS while trying to enjoy the beaches and mountains i got it all here in New England..
F-off cali
Hahaha...any reference to that movie just makes me laugh every time!
I was just thinking that Blazing Saddles
is the Seinfeld of movies, a treasure
trove/pit of tempting quotes.
They said on the News this morning that Wonder Boy is planning to SUE Trump for the money back. Ought to be fun to watch.
Sort of like the TVA back during the Depression - Tennessee valley got this unneeded and unwanted power plant paid for by the rest of the country who wouldn’t benefit from it.
....vowed a court fight? To get taxpayer’s money from other states to give to CA for their boondoggle project that the rest of the country wouldn’t gain any benefit?
No sweat. CA can just raise taxes.
They’re only one federal lib judge away from getting that overturned an injunction placed on the Trump Admin to give Cali even more!
It sounds like a joke, but just watch and see.
...until a Dem judge steps up to the plate.
Nancy Pelosi’s nephew has been but hurting for a long time...
All those make-work, skim off the top concrete overpasses and what not will still be standing 100 yrs from now...just like the weeds, tall grass, trash, needles, sh!t, graffiti, potholes, homeless camps that is littering all of cali’s roadways.
what a nice place....at least the illegal invaders have a warm bed to sleep in at night...
HOLY FRIGGING CRAP!
WTF?
insanity
Show how the Bullet Train stops at the Supermarket, then Home Depot, on to the Cinema, to the park to walk your dog, then fast food and finally home for supper.
How does the Bullet Train, or even the city electric tram, make those stops?
Show me!
and for a $billion dollars.
it’s ridiculous but the moonbats LOVE their mass-transport trains and their masters fully understand that.
$$$$$$$$
Truly sad, the sierras will soon be a steaming pile of slag
