Monument of Government Failures – RedState

Republicans across the nation, whether or not working for election or reelection, may do a lot worse in their campaigns than to take a leaf or two from California’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Steven Hilton. His staff has put together some priceless AI-generated adverts, exhibiting some fashion and creativity — and the latest one often is the best yet. Landing on Mr. Hilton’s official X account on Sunday, this new advert showcases a sensible, clean, affluent California two years in the future, then rewinds to show a dystopian hellscape under a Governor Xavier Becerra. 

But the best half has to be Hilton’s proposed answer for the catastrophe that is the California high velocity railway: Closing down the project and labeling it the “Government Failures National Monument.”

That, proper there, is great stuff. Watch.

🚨 BREAKING: Steve Hilton pronounces plan to cancel High Speed Rail, flip it into the Government Failures National Monument. https://t.co/fqCpJOoQws

This is how it is accomplished, people, and that’s for sure and for sure.

The Republican candidate’s AI-generated marketing campaign advert, titled around his proposal to “cancel High Speed Rail, turn it into the Government Failures National Monument,” affords a stark before-and-after imaginative and prescient of California relying on who occupies the governor’s workplace.

The spot contrasts a sun-drenched, affluent California under Hilton with a frozen, dystopian model of the Golden State under Democratic gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra, blaming the latter’s hypothetical administration for hovering fuel costs, struggling companies and worsening situations on Skid Row.

The only real query right here is how issues on the notorious Skid Row may presumably be any worse, but one ought to never tempt worse. And, while California might not fairly flip around to the gleaming future proposed after only two years of a proposed Governor Hilton’s administration — he still has to deal with the State Assembly, after all — the dystopian imaginative and prescient under Xavier Becerra might be a lot nearer to the fore than we predict. People are already leaving; fuel costs and taxes are already the very best in the nation. But never doubt the socialist’s dedication to keep sharpening that same previous cow flop.

As for that national monument: It’s a good thought. There are in all probability loads of candidates, after all, for more Government Failure National Monuments. The Pacific Palisades fire, for one factor; that’s a authorities failure if ever there was one. We may designate the Santa Ynez Reservoir, too, which at the time of the Palisades fire was more aptly called the Santa Ynez Dust Bowl. And, of course, we may put up a Government Failures signal under, on or above the price show on any California gasoline station. Heck, put a placard proper on every pump, with Gavin Newsom’s impeccably coiffed image on each and every one.

Steve Hilton will not be a mainstream Republican, but he is a Republican who might just find a way to win in California, and even if the glowing imaginative and prescient from this glowing marketing campaign advert is only half proper, it’s still head and shoulders (hah) above Gavin Newsom‘s pathetic efficiency.

California voters would do nicely to listen to one thing my grandfather, a man with a singular wit, was fond of saying: “When you’re flat on your butt, the only way you can look is up.” Aren’t issues unhealthy enough? Isn’t it time to attempt one thing different? Come on, California — you might be, as my grandfather would have put it, trying up. Now the only factor left to do is to get off your butts — and vote for Steve Hilton.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must keep control of both chambers of Congress.
