Sorry, Ratty, but no matter how much you dress up a shit sandwich or put lipstick on a pig, it is what it is.. A colossal money wasting boondoggle and a never ending sink hole of red ink. The San Joaquin Valley has turned into pretty much a 3rd world slum and Jerry's choo choo to nowhere will do nothing to alter that situation.

Democrats, increasingly worried that Special Counsel Robert Mueller´s investigation into whether the Donald Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election will reveal nothing, have started doing something they´ve long criticized President Trump for: lashing out at Mueller over his "limited" probe. (Video) House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) kicked off a torrent of criticism on Sunday, according to the Washington Examiner, questioning whether "Mueller has adequately investigated President Trump’s financial dealings with a German bank," and suggesting that Mueller´s investigation could be so woefully incomplete that the House has no choice
