Thanks! Those tweets made for excellent reading the first time, and I enjoyed them even more with your great commentary.
Thank you Washington Times for getting the headline right and distinguishing between ALL Californians and “Democrat” Californians. Even some on FR have difficulty with the difference.
It’s a possible/likely emergency situation for U.S. citizens (many conservatives up there, btw). Trump is doing right.
But, he needs to require a full compilation of Oroville Dam maintenance and CDWR records for White House review, to make public the root causes of this fiasco, and then demand Cali redirect money to infrastructure repairs for the safety of the citizens.
I think the concept of the President communicating directly to the citizenry via a tool like Twitter is immensely powerful.
In the past, if you weren’t a liberal jackwad like Clinton or Obama, you had to get your message out only by subjecting your content to universally hostile, deceptive, and agenda driven ‘interpretation’.
It has infuriated me my entire adult life.
I do not use Twitter, Facebook, or any of the other social media applications, but I love that the President uses it.
And I absolutely love that it is making them (in the media) insane!
Absolutely! All we need to do is listen to the whining and wailing of the Left/MSM, re Trump’s tweets, to see how effective they are—not to mention what a threat to the MSM’s ability to lie and deceive. Not everyone has Reagan’s amazing gift of bypassing the press via TV—and anyway, many fewer people watch TV these days. Social Media is the messaging hot spot, and Trump is the master of it.
Forgot about those, thanks.
Yes, we wouldn’t want Jerry Brown or Democrats to be blamed.
Hope someone is tracking the funds....
Jerry Brown has a lot of Rat holes that need $$$$ back-filling.
Flick. I came across your post while googling the idea of installing temporary steel plating supported by I-Beams across the chasm in the damaged Oroville Dam spillway. I noticed that no one responded publicly to your post, just wondering if anyone contacted you privately through the free republic network ? I was looking at some recent HD pictures of the damage and personally I don’t think it would be very difficult to construct a steel patch over the damage and if done, the worst case is that it would fail next time they move huge volumes of water down the spillway. Back in 1970 a group of Engineers figured out how to save the lives of the crew on the Apollo 13 mission using a “temporary” band-aid solution so I ask, why can’t the Engineers figure out a temporary band-aid solution that could get them through to the dry months without causing more erosional damage ? Time is running out but with enough welders I think it’s doable. They could even overlap the 1/4” thick sheets of plate steel on top and bolt them together which would take very little time. It doesn’t have to be pretty.
No good deed goes unpunished.
You seem concerned.
Almost on a Concern Roll.
