“Waiting periods” have been ruled unconstitutional. They’ve always obviously seemed that way to me. Heller continues to reap dividends.

The slow-motion trainwreck that anyone paying attention saw coming.
We rode it last year from Miami to Orlando. It was fine, but hardly high speed. Driving through Vegas yesterday on our way back home from Park City, we saw no signs of construction of the planned HSR from there to Victorville, let alone Rancho Cucamunga. They clearly don’t have the money.
And yes, this:
High-speed rail is catnip to politicians. Except it doesn’t work in America. Not only do we drive, but we take airplanes. As I said in March, much better to build more lanes on an expressway.
I’ve been saying for years that widening I-5 between the Grapevine and i-680 (as Pat Brown always intended) would be a vastly better investment for ground transportation between LA and SF than rail. The two new lanes could be charging lanes for fast electric FSD cars.

California’s HSR boondoggle meets another justifiable roadblock.

Is it making us and our culture sick?
Data Centers
Thoughts from Jeffrey Carter.
This resistance to building them down here is probably going to help industrialize space.
What Rubber Hits The Road
When the state determines it.
Tire dealers in Nevada and Arizona are clicking their champagne glasses. I’ll bet that there will also be a lot of Amazon deliveries.
California doesn't do these things for "efficiency", and the cost increase isn't an unfortunate side effect…it's the whole point. CA leaders deliberately make driving financially painful with the goal of forcing you onto public transport. They brag about it in legislation. https://t.co/PUjhkJwt2N

On the evening of 3 September 1897, in a rented hall in Basel, a Viennese journalist wrote a line in his diary that would sound insane to anyone who read it. At Basel, he wrote, he had founded the Jewish State. If he said so aloud, the world… pic.twitter.com/kfXBFDEqIH

The Left, And Islamists
They (temporarily) share a common enemy: us.
This is the real reason the Left is uniting with Islam, and how it’s going to end

Bombs, Burnt Beef, And The $20 Burrito
To think that absent obvious voter fraud, Los Angeles could have had the opportunity to vote for this guy as mayor.
The Left’s Permanent Derangement
It’s much more than just Donald Trump.
They hate America.
The Library Bum
…is the absolute scum of the Earth.
A long, but worthwhile read.
I spent a lot of my youth in the public library, to the degree that I was once suspended from high school because I was caught there by the assistant principal instead of being in class.
