California's new Governor, Gavin Newsom, has now partially pulled the plug on the project, saying it's just too damned expensive. That sounds good, but he left intact the construction and planned operation between Bakersfield and Merced; he says he did that to prevent having to repay the Feds $3.5 billion. Ridership between those two cities will probably be about 25 people a day, making it operationally a financial disaster.
And nothing has been said about the thousands of acres of land acquired for the project or the portions of the project where construction was started, but now halted... leaving eyesores and hazards for decades to come. So, the taxpayers get screwed for the $3.5 billion, California taxpayers also get screwed for California's share of the cost and get left with higher gas taxes, and the whole pile of crapola gets swept under the rug. Hooray again for the Democrats.

California has a new law taking effect July 1st that requires a background check every time someone goes to buy ammo. But, authorities have yet to write the rules and regulations for the onerous law. Presumably, that means no one will be able to purchase ammo after July 1st because the law requires the check and there will be no way to institute it.
Michigan's Representative Ilhan Omar is a bitch. Sorry, but there's not many ways I can really describe her.
Thank God... and President Trump... we're going to get that border wall come hell or high water, and the Democrats can suck some hind tits.
As if we didn't already know it, former FBI high-muckety-muck Andrew McCabe has admitted there was an active conspiracy to tape President Trump and to run him out of office using the 25th Amendment.
Now that William Barr has been confirmed as Attorney General, let's see if Rod Rosenstein lives up to his promise to resign when that happened. Don't hold your breath.
