Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted February 11 Popular Post Share Posted February 11 6 minutes ago, Truckcrazy said: Another wise more: Under orders from Donald Trump, billions of gallons of irrigation water were laid waste in California’s thirsty agricultural hub this month, a move that left water experts shocked and local officials scrambling. The water, stored in two reservoirs operated by the army corps of engineers, is a vital source for many farms and ranches in the state’s sprawling and productive San Joaquin valley during the driest times of the year. It will be especially important in the coming months as the region braces for another brutally hot summer with sparse supplies. The reservoirs are also among the few the US president can control directly. Staged to give weight to Trump’s widely debunked claims that flows could have helped Los Angeles during last month’s devastating firestorm and to show that he holds some power over California’s water, he ordered the army corps to flood the channels. Less than an hour of notice was reportedly given to water authorities down-river who rushed to prepare for the unexpected release, which threatened to inundate nearby communities. The move is just the latest in a series of misinformed attempts Trump has made to wade into California’s water wars, adding new challenges and conflicts over the state’s essential and increasingly scarce water resources. But in what now appears to be just a political stunt, Trump has struck some of his strongest supporters. Many counties across California’s rural Central valley – home to much of its roughly $59bn agricultural industry – backed Trump in the last election, forming a red strip at the heart of the blue state. “It is almost mind-boggling that this has happened,” said Thomas Holyoke, a professor of political science and water expert at California State University, Fresno, calling the act a “ridiculous blunder”. Experts, who were left scratching their heads in the aftermath, have found no justification for the order. The reservoirs were not at risk of overflowing and irrigation is not necessary during the wetter winter months. These releases also did not support threatened ecosystems such as those in the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta, where contentious debates continue about flows and diversions. Some have suggested the flows will help bolster groundwater stores, “but a lot of that water will end up evaporating,” said Holyoke. “It’s just going to be water lost – and they know it.” Adam Schiff would appreciate you posting that. I’ve noticed the people that Democrats call “experts” generally are not. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/29/#findComment-569069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So they just turned the water on ? No one in water management was given time to inspect the systems and set up any needed relays or manage down stream flood gates, aqua ducts and sluces ??? No one had time to exercise any pumps to help lift water over high grounds ? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/29/#findComment-569070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 On Tuesday, Elon Musk answered reporter questions about his claims that the U.S. taxpayer was sending $50 million dollars worth of condoms to Gaza. "I'm not sure we should be sending $50 million in condoms anywhere. Frankly, I'm not sure that's something Americans would be really excited about. But you know, if it went to Mozambique instead of Gaza I'm like that's not as bad, but why are we doing that?" Elon Musk .

kscarbel2 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 "We do find it sort of odd that, you know, there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position. Which is what happened in USAID. We're just curious as to where it came from. Maybe they're very good at investing, in which case we should take their investment advice perhaps."

kscarbel2 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order instructing Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to develop and implement a plan under which most agencies can hire just one new employee for every four employees who depart. "Upon expiration of the Day 1 hiring freeze and implementation of the hiring plan, agencies will be able to hire no more than one employee for every four employees that depart from federal service." Government functions related to public safety, immigration enforcement, or law enforcement will not be subject to the hiring ratio. Moreover, agencies are directed to plan “for large-scale reductions in force and determine which agency components (or agencies themselves) may be eliminated or combined because their functions aren’t required by law.” 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/29/#findComment-569133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The feedback loop must be closed so that the public and elected officials, rather than bureaucrats, make decisions."

Todd Lyons, who previously ran ICE's Boston office, will take over as acting head of ICE Enforcement and Removal operations. “ICE needs a culture of accountability that it has been starved of for the past four years.

Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Ford CEO Jim Farley is criticizing President Trump, claiming the 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada to be imposed in March have brought “a lot of cost and a lot of chaos” into the automotive sector. Trump has also imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and Ford parts are produced there. Farley warned that the tariffs could have a “devastating impact” on US automakers, eliminating billions in profits and disrupting jobs. “President Trump has talked a lot about making our US auto industry stronger, bringing more production here, more innovation to the US, and if his administration can achieve that... it would be one of the most signature accomplishments,” says Farley. However, he says the President's current approach is unsettling and has created significant “policy uncertainty.” ---------------------------------------------------------- I say Ford has had problems for some time, long before President Trump took office. Ford dealers are still sitting with some 2023 product, and an ocean of 2024 product. Last year during the Biden administration, Ford built twice as many Broncos as it sold. The error falls squarely on Farley's shoulders.....not President Trumps. And then you have the numerous recalls at Ford, from Maverick hybrid fires to Bronco hardtops and shock absorbers. Ford indeed has challenges, but they've been happening for some years now. I like Jim Farley, as he's a true car guy. He owns a 1966 Ford GT and races it. But his company's problems began long before Trump's tariffs. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/29/#findComment-569136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 On Monday, President Trump suspended the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I am thrilled. This bizarre law allowed the government to impose US law on foreign soil. Imagine you're a US company doing business in South Korea and you give a company's leader a gift. It's a legal action in South Korea, but the US calls it a bribe and charges you with a crime. I say that overseas, US companies are subject to the laws of that country, and US law has no standing within that sovereign country. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act unfairly hobbles American companies while foreign rivals not so encumbered swoop in. “The act sounds good on paper but in practicality, it’s a disaster. Suspending the act is going to mean a lot more business for America.” President Trump 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/29/#findComment-569138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has found people who are 'probably dead' still receiving social security checks. "Reexamination of Social Security – we've got people in there that are 150-years-old. Now do you know anyone who's 150? I don't. They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. They're missing out. So, that's the case where I think they're probably dead, my guess, or they should be very famous – one of the two."
