Kalifornia Governor Hairgel is exceptionally stupid ... primarily because he insists on trying to defend the indefensible. And, his "communications team" is a rotten apple that hasn't fallen too far from his diseased tree - they're infantile morons ... entertaining morons ... but, still morons.
The "train to nowhere" that will probably never be finished in Gov. Gavin Newsom's California apparently wasn't enough of a waste of money, so this week a spotlight hit a project called a wildlife bridge, which is north of Los Angeles.
A "wildlife bridge," eh? Something Kalifornia has so far spent $114 million on ... and it's not even finished, yet ... to get Kalifornia "wildlife" from Point A to Point B across a freeway. Hmmm ... meet the real Kalifornia "wildlife" ...
Breaking911 (@Breaking911) ~ California Wildlife Crossing Project ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ Surpasses $100M
California’s Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing project has exceeded $100 million and fallen way behind schedule, raising concerns about costs and completion timelines. First announced in 2022 by Governor Gavin Newsom, the project aims to construct an overpass for wildlife across ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California. Initially projected to cost $92 million with a targeted completion date of 2025, officials had expected a combination of state funding and private donations to cover expenses.
Nearly four years later, the project is now estimated to cost around $114 million, significantly above early projections. Officials cite rising construction costs, inflation, and labor challenges as key factors behind the overrun. The crossing, designed to support a wide range of species from insects to large mammals, has also received additional funding from the California Transportation Commission to help cover the increased expenses as construction continues.

$114 MILLION on THAT??? Idiots.
A ton of money spent on a project in Newsom's California that might end up never being finished? That sure sounds familiar!
Please see the California Train to Nowhere on which they have already spent $15 BILLION.

Oh, Kalifornia - The Land of Fruits, Nuts & Flakes - exists ... it just does not live in the world of reality.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@christopherrufo) ~ California built the Golden Gate Bridge in four years. It's taken Gavin Newsom five years to build this ugly wildlife overpass to nowhere — and it's still not finished. Something has gone deeply wrong in the Golden State.
Yep ... Kalifornia is a farcical disaster because of decades of Democrat rule.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@christopherrufo) ~ Florida Governor DeSantis built this bridge in less than three days, immediately following a massive hurricane. You've spent $114 million and five years to build this ridiculous bridge to nowhere. Resign.
Well, the next stage of our little saga is Newsom's "communications" toddlers "riding to the rescue" on their scooters.
The Newsom Press Office account, which at times almost seems as if it's run by opponents of the governor, responded this way:
Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) ~ How is Florida a real place?
How is Texas a real place?
See, we can do it too ...
You can do WHAT, too, exactly? Ah ... you mean publicly commit an embarrassing self-own. Yes, you ARE good at THAT.
But, the Newsom Press Office account's attempt to distract from their ridiculousness by pointing to examples from Florida and Texas is another fail:
RBe (@RBPundit) ~ This is such a massive own goal. The bridges in Florida and Texas are decommissioned. Old bridges / causeways that aren’t used. You just played yourself.
Team Gavin should be embarrassed, if they were capable of that emotion.
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ Newsom’s crack press team used a stock image of the Old Seven Mile Bridge in FL, which was decommissioned and replaced.
Probably because the caption said “incomplete bridge in the Florida Keys.” 😂
OOF!
If Gavin runs for president in 2028 the Newsom Press Office account's posts would make great ad fodder for his opponents.
Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ The picture on the left is the old Seven Mile Bridge in Key West that was built a century ago and has been decommissioned since its replacement was built in 1980. Newsom's moronic staffers think that's somehow similar to the $100M "wildlife bridge" they've failed to build.
Newsom's peeps would like everybody to believe that's totally comparable.
Andrew Follett (@AndrewCFollett) ~ Gavin, your idiot comms team forgot to crop out the new railroad bridge from the image you dishonestly shared. You can't even lie well.
Lying is just what they do.
And, catching LOADS of egg on their faces.
Spitfire (@RealSpitfire) ~ LMAO, the picture on the left is the old Seven Mile Bridge in Key West that was built a century ago and has been decommissioned since its replacement was built in 1980. Newsom needs a new social media team badly.
Grateful Calvin (@shoveitjack) ~ How do you suck at this so badly?
Toddler minds in adult bodies would be the answer.
Are we actually sure the Newsom Press Office account isn't really just a GOP operative trying to make the possible Democrat 2028 nominee look as clownish as possible?
