It took just six years for men working with their hands to build the nearly 3,000-km-long first U.S. transcontinental railway in the 1860s, notes Rich Lowry in Jewish World Review. In Democrat-run 21st century California, US$15 billion and 17 years have been consumed without laying a single mile of track for the state’s high-speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The latest cost estimate: US$100 billion.

In the New York Post, Rich Lowry connects seemingly scattered dots including the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, political protests, attacks on federal buildings, vandalism of Tesla EVs and dealerships, gunfire directed at federal immigration agents, and relentless vilification of conservatives by leftists (including the Democratic Party’s top leadership) to assemble a thesis that the “resistance” to Donald Trump’s second term comprises a dispersed campaign of domestic terrorism.
