Why Do Leftists Think That Train Travel
Is the Solution to Everything?
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/21/2025 3:28:57 PM
Several years ago, I was getting ready to travel to Austin, Texas, for a conference. Just out of curiosity, I looked into getting there by train. Amtrak was the only option, of course. My trip to Austin would take 36 hours, and the route was something like Atlanta to Washington to Chicago to Austin. It would also cost twice as much as flying. Needless to say, Amtrak was totally out as an option. Despite its impracticality and expense, the left loves to romanticize train travel. I think much of it because left-wing media types all live in the Acela corridor, where passenger rail infrastructure is plentiful.

As RedState reported, two Israeli embassy workers were gunned down in cold blood by a man who chanted "free, free Palestine" in the aftermath. Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, who were planning to get engaged soon, were attending an event on collaboration to deliver aid to Gaza when Elias Rodriguez, a member of the Chicago-based Party for Socialism and Liberation, allegedly shot them from behind.
Now, more information is coming out about Rodriguez, who is a "pro-Palestinian" (see: pro-Hamas) activist. Before allegedly carrying out the murders, he released a manifesto online in which he wrote, "Those of us against the genocide
Earlier this week, I made the case that Dr. Kevin O’Connor — Joe Biden’s longtime physician and former White House doctor — should be called to testify before Congress about his role in the cover-up of Biden’s obvious cognitive decline and now his cancer diagnosis. A growing number of medical experts agree that Biden’s condition didn’t just appear out of nowhere; it was likely known about for years. And now, we may finally be seeing the walls start to close in.
On Thursday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer ramped up his investigation into the deliberate and coordinated cover-up, not just of Biden’s mental and physical deterioration,
An effort to sink President Donald Trump’s pick to head the IRS found a Democrat senator closing with an allegation of recorded conversations.
Since the president’s return to the White House, the left has seemingly jumped at every opportunity to obstruct the America First agenda with lawsuits and delay tactics. Tuesday, as the Senate Finance Committee considered the nomination for IRS commissioner, ranking member Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden (D) saw fit to level an allegation in his closing remarks.
“Our staff investigators have on tape now, tax promoters saying you met with him at the inauguration and promised him a favorable private letter ruling,”

Democrats’ unceasing defense of criminal illegal aliens left ICE arresting a foreign national “TWICE” released from custody after an alleged vehicular homicide took a mother’s life.
In Minnesota, the “code talking” Gov. Tim Walz (D) recently reaffirmed that globalist ends justified the consequential means as he likened President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts to “modern-day Gestapo.”
Now, the Department of Homeland Security was slamming his “despicable rhetoric” after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to arrest an Ecuadoran national suspected in the death of a Minnesota mother after the county jail released him a second time in a matter of months.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace claimed Wednesday on “Deadline” that President Donald Trump humiliated the people of the United States during his Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Wallace said, “Another day for the history books today from Donald J. Trump. An astonishing display from him in the White House today Donald Trump meeting with the president of South Africa and attempting to ambush and humiliate that leader inside the Oval Office. But what he did instead was embarrass and humiliate the people of the United States of America again, in his meeting with President Ramaphosa,

GOP Congresswoman Nancy Mace on Wednesday filed a resolution to expel Rep. LaMonica McIver after the Justice Department charged the Democrat with assaulting and impeding ICE agents.
Mace referenced the expulsion of GOP Rep. George Santos in her resolution.
“Mace’s resolution notes that the House has already set precedent for expelling Members charged, but not yet convicted, of serious criminal offenses, citing the expulsion of former Representative George Santos in 2023,” the press release said.
The White House called out “far-left activist” Massachusetts Judge Brian Murphy in a press release Wednesday after he ruled the administration cannot deport violent criminal aliens.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden-appointed US District Judge Brian Murphy said the Trump Administration violated his court order when it deported seven illegal aliens to South Sudan. He said they failed to provide the aliens with “meaningful” due process since they were being sent to “third-party” countries.
Murphy even suggested Trump Admin officials may have committed contempt for enforcing immigration policy.
The individuals were sent to South Sudan because they're so bad
It’s been a heckuva year for our lying mainstream press. Despite their best efforts to paint Donald Trump as Hitler, the American public tuned them out, and over 77 million voted him back into the Oval Office in November ’24. They depicted Joe Biden, a man who anyone with two eyes could see was fading fast, as “cogent” and “better than he’s ever been.” That narrative has been blown to smithereens by “Original Sin” and other books as well as multiple sources admitting that things were actually really, really bad in the White House.
Have they learned anything?
On Tuesday, in the Oval Office, President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, along with several other notables, announced their plans for the Golden Dome defense system. It's an ambitious project with enormous implications, if it works.
So, of course, China is already objecting to the project.
China is concerned by President Donald Trump's proposal for a new U.S. missile defense system, called the Golden Dome, which is designed to protect against adversarial attacks on America.
Golden Dome has a "strong offensive nature and violates the principle of peaceful use in the Outer Space Treaty," Chinese Foreign Minister Mao Ning said Wednesday.
A Democratic Tennessee state representative garnered sharp criticism on Tuesday after uploading a video of herself attempting to interfere with a recent US Immigration and Customs (ICE) operation near Nashville. In the video, Rep. Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville) can be observed following federal and state law enforcement officers in a vehicle, where Behn stated she had been "bullying" ICE agents and Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officers in an effort to thwart a May 9 immigration enforcement operation in Madison, Tennessee. This came while ICE had been conducting a weeklong targeted immigration enforcement operation to take in significant public safety threats, which resulted in 196 apprehensions.
"This is Nashville State Representative Aftyn Behn.
A federal judge said that the Trump administration violated a court order after it deported several migrants to South Sudan despite the fact that they came from other countries.
US District Judge Brian E. Murphy on Tuesday ordered the White House to keep the deportees in US custody after the plane landed in Sudan in preparation for Wednesday’s emergency hearing. During the proceedings, the judge argued that the administration violated an injunction he put in place in April.
From The Associated Press:
In an emergency hearing he called to address reports that immigrants had been sent to South Sudan,
Between the Biden administration’s years-long cover-up of the president’s cognitive decline and likely concealment of his advanced prostate cancer, the Democratic Party has a bit of a PR problem right now, and it may get even worse.
While Biden’s inner circle apparently saw no issue with a mentally diminished, terminally ill man controlling nuclear codes, the Clintons are back in the spotlight thanks to explosive revelations from Buzz Patterson, a former senior military aide in the Clinton White House who carried the nuclear football for Bill Clinton.
In a post on X, Patterson revealed another major Clinton scandal, this time involving sexual assault allegations aboard Air Force One.

St. Louis' Emergency Management Director

Tornado Alarm 25 replies
I have no idea how to comprehend this act of incompetence. Last Friday, severe storms rolled into St. Louis. A tornado touched down and struck the northern part of the city—and there were no warning sirens. The tornado alarm system was never activated. It wasn’t due to a computer glitch. It was human error: the emergency management director, Sarah Russell, essentially forgot to turn it on, but it gets worse: the staff wasn’t even in the office. Russell contacted the fire department to initiate the system, but this was a shambolic failure
In the last two and a half years, eight sitting members of the House or Senate have died in office. Every time, it's been a Democrat. Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, died on Wednesday at 75, after a battle with esophageal cancer. He's the third House Democrat to die in the last three months. If Democrats had gained a narrow 1 or 2-seat majority in 2024, they would have lost it by now. The streak of Democratic deaths could just be something of a coincidence. After all, there are plenty of elderly
Canada is conducting "high level" talks with the United States over joining President Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense program, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Trump announced his plans the previous day to develop the multilayered, $175 billion (€155 billion) system with ground- and space-based capabilities that can defend against a wide range of enemy weapons, like drones, hypersonic and cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The US President said he expected the missile shield to be ready by the end of his second term in 2029.

The real nakba [catastrophe, for Palestinians] was that they started a war and lost it. Well, if you start a war, that is what can happen.
The Trump administration should beware of countries where the mouth says one thing but the legs do the opposite. Believe the legs. The Iranians and Palestinians have not given up their dream of eliminating Israel and America.
Iran's leaders do the same thing. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reassures Americans that "We are not seeking war, we favor negotiation and dialogue." Meanwhile, Khamenei calls for the elimination of the "Zionist regime" and endorses "Death to America."
The suspect in the shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in Washington, DC, was apparently a member of a radical left-wing group that advocated on behalf of Palestinians. (Snip) Rodriguez attended a 2017 protest outside the home of then-Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel as a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, according to the group’s Liberation newspaper. On Wednesday, the Marxist-Leninist group urged followers online to sign a pledge aimed at stopping Israel’s “genocide” against Palestinians. The 2017 protest was not thought to be tied to Emanuel’s Israeli heritage. According to a LinkedIn profile Rodriguez worked

Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as DC Attorney was nuked by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). He was in office on an interim basis. Trump selected Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force. Martin is looking at Biden’s pardons, specifically the ones issued toward the end of his presidency. They might not be legal. It comes off allegations that Biden aides might have illegally used the autopen. President Trump has asked who was behind the autopen since it’s become clear that Joe Biden was not mentally cogent enough to know what was going on (via The Hill):

Bill in Major Step Toward Delivering Trump’s Agenda 15 replies
House Republicans passed their sweeping “big, beautiful” bill early Thursday morning, overcoming opposition from several factions within the caucus and taking a major step toward delivering President Trump’s domestic agenda.
The bill passed 215 to 214, largely along party lines. Republican Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio joined a united Democratic caucus in voting against the legislation. Republican Representative Andy Harris, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, voted “present.”
The bill would extend the 2017 tax cuts, introduce new tax cuts such as Trump’s signature “no tax on tips”
WASHINGTON – A federal judge on Thursday temporarily reinstated hundreds of Education Department workers laid off by the Trump administration and blocked the president's executive order attempting to dismantle the decades-old agency.
District Court Judge Myong J. Joun, a Biden appointee in Boston, said the White House's decision to fire more than 1,300 workers in March has prevented the federal government from effectively implementing legally required programs and services.

Israel has “apparently” eliminated Mohammed Sinwar, a senior Gaza-based terrorist and brother of former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, in a recent airstrike, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a press conference on Wednesday evening.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF), on May 4, targeted Mohammed and several other senior terrorists in a precision strike on an underground terror base located in Khan Younis, a Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza.
During the meeting, Trump played a compilation of Africans calling for the genocide of White Afrikaners after Ramaphosa told reporters that President Trump is wrong about the genocide and needs to “listen” to South Africans. .
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the White genocide in South Africa.
Leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, Julius Malema, has infamously led chants and songs calling for White farmers to be murdered. The video that Trump played featured a compilation of Malema, calling to "shoot to kill" and "kill the boer, the farmer," and others calling for White farmer genocide in South Africa.
If you want an accurate gauge of future economic conditions, look no further than Paul “Nobel-Prize-Winning-Economist” Krugman. He has a solid record of being exactly wrong, as the above quotations show.
So, the fact that he is now predicting stagflation should give everyone a boost of confidence that we are headed for a second Trump boom.
Krugman’s new prediction comes, in fact, just as signs are looking up.
The stock market is back in positive territory since President Donald Trump took office, and is up 7% compared with a year ago.

Trains, where practical, are a good idea to beat congestion and parking issues. However, for cross country travel, they will never beat the freedom of having a personal vehicle, whether that is a car or a motor home, for seeing the USA at its very best.
