President Joe Biden is reportedly seeking to revive a project that would construct a high-speed railway from Houston to Dallas in Texas utilizing Japanese bullet trains.

According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, citing unnamed administration sources, the White House is looking to make an announcement on the project following talks between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington, D.C., this week.

The Japanese government and the White House declined to comment on the report, though the project has seen renewed support from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who told KXAS in Fort Worth on Sunday: "We believe in this."

      Or Bloodsport and label it Bullet Train. Either one will work, really; the man's brains are tapioca pudding laced with German Sudafed and Twitter clapbacks at this point.

          Totally normal list of movies made by a human person who definitely watches movies and is not actually a reptile in a mammalian skinsuit.
