Trump claims airplane ticket only costs $2 anyway.
I'd love to see high speed rail become a thing in the United States like it is in Europe. It's actually enjoyable to ride the train there.

Trump Says High-Speed Rail Isn’t Needed Because ‘You Take an Airplane – It Costs You $2’
The president alleged that high-speed rail would be a less efficient and more expensive alternative than air travel, which in his estimation, costs $2.

Can't eliminate departments appropriated by Congress by executive orders.
Just like the next democrat president can't create a Dept by executive order.
I don't really follow much in the way of social media political posts. I'll check them out a few times a week but it's so over the top crazy and so unreliable. Too many intentionally lie.
Today, there is a Congressman writing about deporting an American citizen member of Congress. That type of rhetoric can get someone killed. Thankfully, a number of folks, including some that side with the congressman ripped him for posting such a thing.
It's just too easy to post nonsense online- just like last week where hundreds of "political influencers" were posting that the helicopter pilot in the DC crash was Jo Ellis, a transgender National Guard Blackhawk pilot. One poster here spread that lie here. Obviously, that wasn't true.

Dave - It's called hyperbole. You and clickbait are strange bedfellows.
It's honestly a shame almost nothing Trump says will ever get done.
If he actually went through with even 1/10th of what he says, we would have a generational shift away from the lunacy.
AI Dave. While it's true it would be difficult to completely eliminate it, he could make it about the size of a McDonalds and that's probably what he's going to do.
Think bigger. Your life might depend on it one day.
People with common sense got you out of your COVID booster routine in the nick of time.
They might be around next time you Gomer around and get really burned.
You and Collins -- Can't think of a better combination for high-quality information.
Resting joker face. Because she is a joke.
It is all sorts of ironic how those who worship at the altar of the current Democratic party seem so comfortable with censorship.
Actual liberals are rolling over in their graves.
Check out Chris Stirewalt's column today. He mentions the reality that most of the executive orders won't go anywhere in the end - like with every president. The only thing I'd say though is it serves as employment for a lot of lawyers and litigation. The courts are already getting involved stopping some of it and that will grow quickly.
That works both ways.
Today a Republican Congressman was posting about wanting an American citizen deported because he disagreed with her comments.
You sure love you news spun.
Executive orders have dominated the political landscape since Obama starting weaponizing them.
If you believe Trump is going to get shut out of this exercise, that sounds about right coming from you.
Reason's Billy Binon responded to that post- which was made in response to something Elon Musk did today- Elon spread a doctored video. Oddly enough, that could be a legal issue for him.
The best part of all of this is that Musk is going to be the fall guy when Trump starts to falter in the polls.
He's not going to get the protection from the next administration he expects.
This woman is completely detached from reality if she believes she is in that position because of merit.
Good lord. What a clown show.
Good lord. What a clown show.
Imagine those guys lying in their graves in Normandy. They gave their lives to defeat the Nazis. Now the guy leading their government is doing Nazi salutes on stage.
Has to be insulting.
No more rainbows. Just lethal weapons. American warriors are back!! Finishing off the weak dei. Ship whatever’s left to Trudeaus house. He’ll cuddle with em
I said a few months ago if and when things turn sour, it will be really bad.
Musk complained today that reporting on the small group of employees he's hired is a crime. Elon really lies a lot- like a TON lot. No wonder his personal life has always been such a disaster.
Can you imagine thinking that you hire people for a job for the government and thinking it's a crime for someone to report about it or report their name? Hell, if you work at Autozone, that can be reported.
Context is important- and always absent from posters like you)
The military exceeded their military recruiting target for 2024 in September.
In early January, the Sec of the Army said numbers have been trending much higher since September (before the election).
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth (Appointed by Biden) told the Associated Press in January: "What's really remarkable is the first-quarter contracts that we have signed are the highest rate in the last 10 years.... We are going like gangbusters, which is terrific." (The majority of which were signed before the election in November)
Army data shows that recruitment has been steadily rising over the past year, peaking in August 2024—a few months before the November election. Officials closely monitor these figures as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen enlistment.
A key factor behind the Army's recent recruiting gains is the Future Soldier Preparatory Course, launched in August 2022 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The program provides lower-performing recruits with up to 90 days of academic and fitness training, helping them meet enlistment standards before advancing to basic training.
Straight from AI.
Not from propaganda outlets who were trying to make it sound like it was on the rise under Uncle Joe.
They lied about everything and Gomers never felt the need to cross-check their BS.
------------------------
The demand for U.S. Army recruitment has been on an upward trend, with recent data indicating significant improvements:
Recruitment Numbers: The U.S. Army reported its best recruiting numbers in 12 years in December 2024, and then surpassed that in January 2025, marking the highest recruitment in 15 years. This suggests a notable rise in demand for Army recruitment in the recent period.
Historical Context: Prior to these recent spikes, the Army had been facing recruitment challenges. In 2022, the Army fell short of its recruitment goal by 25%, recruiting only 45,000 out of a desired 60,000. By 2023, it managed to recruit 54,000 soldiers, still short of the 65,000 target. This indicates that the rise in demand is a relatively new development, starting to show significant improvement from late 2024 onwards.
Initiatives and Factors: Several initiatives and external factors have contributed to this rise:
The introduction of programs like the Future Soldier Prep Course in August 2022, aimed at boosting the readiness of recruits who would otherwise not meet Army requirements.
Changes in recruitment strategies, including the designation of recruiting as a specialized career and rebooted advertising campaigns.
The broader context of national leadership and policy might also play a role, as indicated by posts on X linking recruitment success to the "America First" leadership narrative.
In summary, while the Army has been dealing with recruitment shortfalls for several years, the demand for joining the Army has notably increased since late 2024, with the most significant rises observed in December 2024 and January 2025.
