Fascinating. I was waiting for it to spiral out of control but they kept it together. Trump wasnt taking any shit though.

Where was the slimy Governor?

Like Trump said....Get out of the way and let people get started!
Did you notice how the mayor just sat there with that shit eating grin on her face when somebody suggested oversight of federal monies going to Los Angeles?🤣

She looked like the head that pops out of a music box when you turn the knob. She is way over her capacities. Wonder how she would spell RAMS...lol

He met Trump at the airport, but was not involved beyond that, I think Trump is going to steamroll over him.

Talking about clearing environmental regulations, That's what Nuwsom is all about the green California, Trump is having no part of it

Also he is waiving federal permits. How many federal permits do you need to build a single family residence?

Trump said he's going to have NorCal turn on the pipes and the valves?

I am working for a large developer locally that is also international. The man in charge on the west coast is of the exact same mindset of Trump, his name is Mike. They get shit done, period. With that in mind, Trump is putting the pressure right back on the left wing politicians to show case the ineptitude of these elected officials for the positions they hold and and force them to comply with common sense.
The results of their ineptitude are entirely predictable., the SO Cal fires are just the beginning of exposing the dereliction of duty for these elected officials.

Not something most elected officials have had to deal with over the last 20+ years, being held accountable for their core objective as a public service. I think you now this, but about half of the US population doesn't and will learn have to learn the hard way.

Trump destroyed Bass. She tried to justify permitting delays, and said people couldn’t yet enter their properties because they need to be kept safe. He told her they’re unsafe now, and need to get their lots cleared and houses rebuilt.

I loved it. 😊

I can research it, as can you. Regardless of where it is, how much would it take to build a pipeline or canal to move the water to SoCal? I live in Phoenix, we move water from the Colorado river using gravity…I think there are 2 maybe 3 pump stations. The aquifers are full and they are increasing the capacity of our water storage on the Eastern portion of the state. I live in the middle of the desert and have more water available than SoCal does. SoCal is a desert as well but why don’t they have water?

How is the train in Central California working out? What are the priorities of your elected officials?

California Aqueduct Map​

The California Aqueduct is a system of canals, tunnels, and pipelines that stretches over 444 miles (715 km) from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Southern California. Here are the key points about the aqueduct’s layout:
  • Clifton Court Forebay: The aqueduct begins at the southwestern corner of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in Contra Costa County.
  • Main Line: It runs southward, paralleling Interstate 5 through the San Joaquin Valley.
  • East Branch: Splits off in extreme southern Kern County and supplies Lake Palmdale and terminates at Lake Perris in the San Bernardino Mountains.
  • West Branch: Continues south to Pyramid Lake and Castaic Lake in Los Angeles County.
  • Coastal Branch: Diverges from the main line near Kettleman City and travels to Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara County.
For a detailed map, you can refer to the California Water Map provided by the Water Education Foundation, which shows the integral role of waterways and aqueducts in California, including the California Aqueduct.

All depends on how close the homes are to the beach, and what they determined as being "coastal" areas. It can be a shitshow with both state and fed being intertwined. The Feds make the rules, and in some cases are responsible for permitting. The problem is, the Feds gave powers to the state for various supports, making them codependent.

This is from the Coastal Commission:
"The Federal Consistency Unit of the California Coastal Commission implements the federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972 as it applies to federal activities, development projects, permits and licenses, and support to state and local governments. In the CZMA, Congress created a federal and state partnership for management of coastal resources. The CZMA encourages states to develop coastal management programs and implement the federal consistency procedures of the CZMA. Upon certification of a state’s coastal management program, all federal agency activities (including federal development projects, permits and licenses, and assistance to state and local governments) affecting the coastal zone must be consistent with the enforceable policies of the state’s certified program. The review process used to implement this requirement is called a consistency determination for federal agency activities and development projects, and a consistency certification for federal permits and licenses, and/or federal support (i.e. funding) to state and local agencies.

The federal government certified the California Coastal Management Program (CCMP) in 1977. The enforceable policies of that document are Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act of 1976. All consistency documents are reviewed for consistency with these policies. The Commission’s goal is to use the federal consistency process to provide open communication and coordination with federal agencies and applicants and provide the public with an opportunity to participate in the process."

Lake Perris in the San Bernardino Mountains? Only Perris I know is down by MoVal. Did you mean Silverwood?

Look, I'm not a Trump hater these days but I watched the press conference...On FOX btw. He's got some great ideas but his off the cuff responses are horrible sometimes. His comments on Shasta Lake and Folsom Lake made no sense.

Maybe so, but did you notice he stood there and spoke with lucidity and determination? That there was no teleprompter? That he came down the Big Stairs on AF One? That he didn't need someone to take his elbow and lead him to the Beast so he wouldn't wander around lost?

Whenever you're criticizing Trump, remember that in 2020 you voted for the corpse that had the mental capacity of an ant, and in November you pulled the lever for an incompetent fool that couldn't run a preschool, much less the United States.

An exchange with the Mayor. "Move bitch get out tha way..."

He steamed right over Karen Bassetti every time she opened her pie hole and spewed. Grewscum patting the president on the back at the bottom of the stairs by the plane - really? Trump showed great restraint in not knocking his childish "I'm your bro" dick in the dirt!

They wrote it bad.
The aqueduct splits near Gorman, the West Branch ends at the Van Norman Dam in Grenada Hills at the base of the SB Mountains.
The East Branch goes to Perris Lake.

You claim to have changed your views a bit but are still falling on every single word. The phrase, "Can't see the forest for the trees" comes to mind.

When teaching basic tactics I have my students/partners stand with their toes and nose against the wall and have them tell me what they see without moving their head side to side. Then I have them take a step back and do the same thing. Then again, and again, and again. I'm sure you can understand that as you step back away from the wall your perception of the environment, understanding of the layout, and overall understanding of the situation you are in begin to grow. Of course, there comes a point in time when as you get further away from the issue at hand (in this exercise that would be the wall), you begin to lose the minor or specific details. Point being, there is a sweet spot in there that needs to be established, and it is all based on what your overall mission or objective is in each specific situation.

A good tactician can identify that sweet spot and remain there. They can also adjust on the spot, in the same scenario, to accomplish other missions at the same time while bouncing back and forth. Trump spoke about a couple people he recommended for dealing specifically with the missions in the specific areas ("the wall") and then repeated his concerns and recommendations/missions for the broad area (California forests/ water supply/ permits state and federal) giving his concerns and recommendations to those missions.

You might be on the right side of this issue now, but are still toes and noes against the wall (focusing on every single word). Back up a little bit and take it all in.

It's a talking point and I don't agree with it. Here is the reality; Once a State or Local agency takes control over an area, they are responsible for it. If they just let everyone back in prior to ensuring it is safe they will be liable.

Instead of focusing on the symptom as result of the closure, how about finding a fix to the problem at hand. I think what they need to do is bring in all available Water/Gas/Power field techs to check every line. Cap or shut down the entire neighborhoods at their sources/switches. Once they are sure there is no flowing Water/Gas/Power, then verify the identity and home address of anyone going in, have them sign their life away (literally) and let them enter at their own risk. If I were in charge of that, every entry would be video and audio taped with the reading of the risks, and the signing of the liability away.

Horrible situation for all involved and I'm not trying to make light of it, just trying to apply a bit of common sense the issue at hand.
