Dem Governor’s New Definition Of Repair Is A Masterclass In Delusion

Repair (v.) [Democratic] definition: to fail to restore by declining to replace a part, or by pretending to reassemble what is torn or broken. See also: no-fix.

Used in a sentence: Maryland Governor Wes Moore new book “REPAIR,” will ostensibly explain how he repaired the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

“Repaired,” that is, in the Democratic sense; not restored.

It never ceases to amuse me how out of touch our leaders are with the rest of us. Here is a sitting governor, nearly four years into the job, who has yet to repair a single thing, now peddling a patronizing paperback on why our country is broken and how we must rebuild it from the rubble.

Are you kidding? 

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in March 2024 after being struck by a cargo ship. Three years later, the state is still sifting through contractor bids, and the price tag has swollen to as much as $5 billion. Slow-moving Moore was still taking bids as late as this summer, and the state is “planning” on a 2030 opening, a promise about as likely to be kept as a New Year’s resolution in February.

One bridge. Billions of tax dollars. Years of paperwork and not one passable inch.

Nor is it his only promise unkept. He also vowed to resurrect the Red Line, Baltimore’s long-canceled east-west transit line, as a signature achievement. Three years on, it’s still stranded in planning mode. (The Democrats are always in planning mode.) No construction, no opening date, just millions in tax dollars spent on iteration after iteration while the estimate has roughly tripled from its pre-cancellation figure.

I hope “REPAIR” includes a chapter called “Transit to Nowhere,” and that he landed a guest foreword from Gavin Newsom, whose similarly mythical, $230 billion high-speed rail is still a locomotive of lore.

What else has this administration democratically REPAIRED? The budget. When Maryland came up billions short, Mr. Unmoored simply shifted the money around and charged taxpayers $1.6 billion in fees. Band-aid on a budget bullet hole.

And this in a state boasting one of the highest median household incomes in the country. You’d think a governor sitting on that kind of tax base wouldn’t need to keep reaching deeper into residents’ pockets. Yet he’s busy convening “task forces” to throttle the very industry that could lighten that burden. Imagine if he’d turned an empty lot into, say, a $5 billion data center, one that delivered $50 million and a boom in jobs. Oh wait.

The woman who blocked the project told Fox the $5B investment would only benefit the employees of the data center, advocating for the site to be turned into an indoor trampoline park instead.

Idiots.

Maybe it’s for the best that the state won’t be making extra income. After all, the motto of this governor seems to be “Moore Money, Moore Problems.“

As I write this from Palm Beach, I’m grateful for the governor of this flourishing beacon. Ron DeSantis would never let Florida be bridgeless, broken, or unrepaired. After Hurricane Ian washed out the land access to Pine Island, Florida had a repaired bridge open to traffic in three days. Temporary access to Sanibel followed within weeks. And not because the engineers here can maintain a better pace, (although the sunshine and Florida attitude might help), but because one leader is competent and the other is not.

One understands the true meaning of the word repair. The other is selling a book about something he knows nothing about.

And if you think there’s a lick of meaningful insight in those pages, I have a bridge to sell you.
