Reality television personality Caitlyn Jenner, who is running to unseat California Governor Gavin Newsom in a special recall election, has told a Los Angeles television station that she would like to take money from California's high-speed rail project and instead use it to expand the border wall across state lands in southern California. Jenner claimed, "We need protection."
Ms. Jenner, a 71-year-old Republican who is trying to distance herself from Donald Trump in a state that is often seen as being strongly anti-Trump, has stated publicly that she did not vote for Trump in 2020, but she is saying that the former president did some "really good things" for the economy of California, but that he had "terrible messaging."
Jenner seems burdened with some terrible messaging of her own. Last month the long-time resident of Malibu raised eyebrows when she lamented that a fellow who rented a hangar for his private jet next to hers was closing his hangar and moving his jet to Sedona, Arizona, because he was tired of seeing all of the homeless people in California. Ms. Jenner appeared to be expressing more concern over the wealthy friend than she was over the plight of California's homeless.
Of course, not everyone has access to private jets. High-speed rail along the ultra-busy West Coast would get cars off of the road and move people quicker and more efficiently. California has been bogged down in traffic and its resultant air pollution for generations, and it's time for that state - as well as the other forty-nene - to begin moving into the future.
America needs a thriving high-speed rail service - not more useless vanity walls!
