President Trump orders Army Corps of Engineers to open California dams and release the water

[JGalt]

Defying California bureaucrats, President Trump ordered the US Army Corps of Engineers to release 5.2 billion gallons of water being held behind two dams, down a river channel toward farmlands in the San Joaquin Valley. This came after he vowed during a visit to Los Angeles last week to “open up the valves and pumps” in California to deliver more water.

More promises made, promises kept.

Acting on Trump’s order, federal officials opened up two California dams​

"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has dramatically increased the amount of water flowing from two dams in Tulare County, sending massive flows down a river channel toward farmlands in the San Joaquin Valley.

Federal records show that water releases from Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Lake Success jumped early Friday morning.

That was four days after President Trump said on social media that the U.S. military had “entered” California and “TURNED ON THE WATER.” Trump also vowed during a visit to Los Angeles last week to “open up the valves and pumps” in California to deliver more water."

I didn't know that, but it does explain why Pepsi tastes like crap.

Trump's Tweet is a lie. He turned on the Federal Pumps AFTER they had been closed for maintenance,

Just this week, the Department of Government Efficiency took credit for doubling the water pumped towards Southern California after pumps had been turned off. Experts say that claim is very misleading.

"Let's be clear about what happened. They shut down the pumps for the federal project, in particular, for maintenance. They do that all the time," Mount said.

Experts say California's water system is very complicated and moving water is more difficult than it seems.

Back in the nineties, the slogan was: kill them all and let god sort them out. They were referencing the government and those espousing it were veterans.

The rain put out the fires so God beat Trump as per usual.

Probably right, im2.

You better move away now and beat the rush.

Your post is a lie, or possibly based on your falling for a lie.

And who is "they?" Is it anyone except the Biden Administration? Of course not. Who could have turned it on already, as soon as the fires started? The BIden Administration at the request of Governor Newsom, if either one of those had a lick of sense. It is insane that they did not beg for this as soon as Trump took office.

Here, I'll fault Trump for waiting. He probably hoped that Newsom would grow up, and call him to ask what the federal government could do. Trump learns and from this he can learn that the California Democrats are nothing more than children, given far more power than a child an understand, much less weild wisely.

You needed only read the next two paragraphs and you could have posted on this thread as a more enlightened person:

While there are a lot of questions about Trump's executive order, the Westlands Water District believes Trump's order will ultimately help the Central Valley because of potential changes to the Central Valley Project.

"I think this executive order would help Central Valley farmers and communities, but I think it would help also the entire state by taking a fresh look and making sure that we're maximizing water supplies to to everyone," said Allison Febbo, with the Westlands Water District.

So who am I to believe? Jeffrey Mount, a founding director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis and PPIC senior fellow, or Allison Febbo, with the Westlands Water District? I'll go with Allison, who dedicates her service to the California water supply.

California water "experts" are part of the reason SoCal is on fire.

Our family records have deaths in the Revolutionary War and list those who fought in it. Evidently I'm the offspring of patriots

You piss and moan about the government that was made giving your white ass preference every day. So go move back to Europe where you came from.
