If the Epstein scandal drags on long enough, we might see a lot of good work get done.

He did. Then Biden gave it back to Newsom.

If California wants to foot the bill, have at it.

I bet they don’t want it bad enough to complete it with their own money.

Maybe Disney will give them a grant to finish the project. Call the train the “Goofy Express.”

Let it stay cancelled. No more mulligans!
I knew the ‘Speed Train” was unworkable back when Gov. Jerry Brown was raving about it.

But but Kalifornia can pick up the tab to move foreword....

In other news Kalifornia will run a 12+ billion $ budget shortfall next year. Kalifornia's reserve fund has been cut in half in two years. Kalifornia's unfunded liabilities to State employees is 1.5 trillion dollars.

“Trump might just win back MAGA.”

This, plus his English-only EO ... you might be right.

Protesters chant ‘Build the rail!’
The other side:
Dozens of protesters gathered outside where the briefing took place and were vocal about their thoughts on what was being said. The crowd could be heard chanting “Duffy go home!” and “Build the rail!” as Republican officials answered questions from reporters.

“I want to address the protesters for a moment. If I could, I think they were chanting, ‘build a rail.’ It’s been 17 years, and $16 billion, and no rail has been built. So, if you want to go protest somewhere, if you want to shout at someone, go to the governor’s mansion, go talk to Democrats in the legislature who have brought us this crappy project,” Duffy said.

He added that protesters “should all be at the steps of Gavin Newsom’s mansion” if they wanted answers about the future of the project.


good analysis in the above.

“So, if you want to go protest somewhere, if you want to shout at someone, go to the governor’s mansion, go talk to Democrats in the legislature who have brought us this crappy project,”
