Well I guess we can replace the dams with wind turbines. This way we can save the eco-system by balancing out the killing of hundreds of thousands of fish with the killing of hundreds of thousands of birds.
In Primm Nevada, near Las Vegas they built 3 large solar steam generators that focus the solar rays at a beacon on top of one of 3 large towers. The other benefit of superheating the tower is it instantly fries all manner of birds flying near them. It’s akin to a giant bug zapper without the blue light. All manner of birds are found at the base from endangered spicers to non. The government could make extra money opening a KFC next door, saving money on the F, but no….Birdbrains…literally and figuratively.
OK. Here's my AOC joke of the day: I heard Alexandria Ocasio Cortez can't support wind turbines because their big fans may cause damaging winds like a hurricane.
Yeah, Hank is as smart as they get. I have to remember, Hank only made $174,000 as a Senator. . . . .so we should be thankful for his service and sacrifice.
To highlight the other side of the dam-busting: it's well known, at least in engineering circles, that dams have limited lifespans, generally from 50 to 150 years. Look it up. They also lose their usefulness because the reservoirs behind them fill with sediment -- which the river used to flush out to the sea. And as to those algae blooms; those do occur in lakes that get warm, which would certainly apply to the Klamath's reservoirs. They are also toxic, and can harm and kill people as well as wildlife. So after the dams' removal I would expect that they will be flushed out to the ocean, which will be temporarily messy, but in the end should improve the river's water quality.
You raise good points about dams. My only addition is when they remove the dam, they must evict and demolish every home, business, and other structure that was added because of the increased availability of the hydro electricity. If we’re going back to “natural”, then make the full move and play it out.
Isn't that a bit radical, especially if a replacement source of power is available? My impression is that the Klamath dams didn't produce a lot of electricity, anyway.
They produced 700,000Mwh of electricity, or three times what a coal plant like the Jeffery Energy Center near me produces. Even when sediment levels get high, the dams continue to function for flood control and irrigation. Now a replacement source is needed for the 70,000 homes that were supplied from those dams.
Absolutely an issue. I read that up to 4% of electricity is being used to fuel "data centers", which doesn't include the large electricity needs of Bitcoin "miners" (a BS use of the term mining imho). Then there is the demand for electricity from EVs.
But we normies need to suffer periodic electricity "pauses" and pay for Leftist fueled required increases in electric generation.
About all those dead fish. They died in the name of "environmentalism." So it's OK, amirite? Hey, remember the good old days back in Mesopotamia when all the people used to sacrifice their babies to Ba'al in order to assure a good harvest? Same thing. Good thing we don't sacrifice our children for silly things like a good harvest any more. Nowadays we sacrifice them in the name of womens' rights and if they survive into adolesence, we chop their sex organs off and turn them into eunuchs because, "Love is love," or something. Again, amirite? We have really come a long way on our march of progress haven't we? If we keep this up, we'll be living in caves alongside all those dead rivers in which no fish can ever swim. Well, all of us except for the Soros family, the Obamas and Kerry's of the future.
I view these Causes as 'investment shams', you advance an idea, pay off the Pols to support it, add in some useful iditots, raise all sorts of money, make you & yours richer than ever possible, then is collapses. Rinse & repeat..... Solyndra 2? Enron in different clothes, the private sector scams carry risk of getting the Feds p'o.d, but when you're in on a FEDERAL Scam, like the China-Virus, or the Ukraine war.....$$$ is ENDLESS...and EVERYONE gets super rich..... I view them as locusts - feasting till land is stripped bare, then flying on to next Green Field scam in line....
That’s precisely the Dem playbook! All those trillion dollar Bills they pass are just wealth transfers of our tax dollars to all their Leftist crony agencies, NGO’s and groups, in a self-perpetuating cascade. And we get left with their endless tyranny over every facet of our lives.
And it all comes from our tax money. The companies take out a loan, the government guarantees it. The company mgmt drains the money off, company goes bankrupt. The company is not responsible for the loans. Tax payers are. They either create a new company or rename the old one. Rinse repeat.
The politicos form tax free foundations, book and tv deals (Bill and Hillary anyone?). It's just so easy. I wonder how much campaign money is still in Nikki's coffers? She'll get to spend that on herself since she's unemployable.
For the record, I am not in any way related to RimaAnn Nelson of the VA Administration. My guess is that a primary reason for her trying to ban the photo is that it occurred at a moment in time when America was, without a doubt, the greatest and most powerful country ever known and she was upset about that. As a veteran, I am sad to know that birdbrains like RimaAnn are in charge of taking care of disabled and disadvantaged vets.
I live in Sarasota and there's a very large statue of this photo downtown by the bay. You can not go by it anytime day or night without people taking a picture around it. I wonder if those people know they are supporting sexual harassment. Perhaps they should be identified and canceled too
I havent gone until they wanted to start a 5 yr process of 'finding' me a good medicine when I had just finished doing that and was stable. Stable. Grr. Told the supervising doc I wouldnt be back. Luckily I have good enough insurance, I have been able to get care out in town.
when i first began using the va (15 years ago) it had a lot of male nurses and doctors. now it's almost all females with just a few doctors. mostly p.a.'s and n.p.'s. most are polite now (trump cleaned that up and fast) but i dislike going there. just my 2 cents worth.
that's the way it is at out medical facility which has become a HUGE campus - they can't even keep up with mapping all the new buildings, but largely staffed with non native-born personnel and English isn't their primary language
What a great description of those idiots. Obviously they have no clue and didn't grow up in a part of this great land where sometimes it doesn't rain for years at a time. The crops don't grow, the grass doesn't grow to feed the cattle so the ranchers have to burn prickly pear, the farmers and ranchers don't have any money to spend so businesses go broke, but hey, they've sure saved the environment!
Saving the environment is another leftist lie and example of their hubris. The natural system of this planet is far superior to the smartest person who ever lived. It doesn’t need saving.
What needs saving is conservatives FROM psychopathic leftists.
Most days bring a chuckle at something Don says with his trademark turn of phrase. Today the WKRP clip accomplished that right off the bat. Best episode ever.
Sadly, the entertainment value it used to provide after a day of work is gone. I don't even watch it today to get a weather report because it is so "global warming" liberal. The WEATHER can't even stay out of politics.
The Loons Of California have just begun. California, the state that mandates every car sold be electric,. It has rolling blackouts today. Today. it advises people to charge their EV;s at alternate times because the electrical grid cannot handle too many chargers running at once. It removed the Klamath Dam, a hydroelectric generator of critical electricity. ***The fish story and the criminally negligent, water farm destroying policies, of California are sagas too long to address here. *** Long term goal of these nuts? Destroy the Hetch Hetchy Dam system which provides most of the water to the San Francisco Bay Area and most of the power in huge swaths of California. *** Before you know it, there will be curfews to save electricity. Yes, it's Lights Out California.
I would swear the idiots want us (the peasants) back in caves, and tending fires that have no fuels to use, while they think their lives wont be disrupted.
Hooo, boy. I have seen some pretty dumb behavior in my life, but the dam breaching is unutterably stupid. I wish I had the "engineer(s)" in front of me right now. A very sternly worded letter, indeed! Goodbye, water storage; goodbye, clean energy production; goodbye, fishies!! Where's the outrage, I ask you? Did I read that right? "Hundreds of thousands" of salmon fry?? How many generations of fish does that represent?
Thats ok, that article didnt mention that the EPA did a quick release (3 days vs 3 months?) and poisoned not only the just dropped salmon but all the spawning beds, and killed all the rest of the fish. The toxicity is moving down stream to do more damage as it goes to the sea.
Also, some bird brain AT THE EPA decided to save $500 mil dollars and didnt remove all the poisoned sediments and so the release sent them all down the river to kill all the lakes and other subsidiary streams.
The citizens have been suing over that mine release since it happened. Its has been yrs. The EPA just went opps. Didnt even appoligize, and left a much bigger mess than they were supposed to clean up. They didnt do anything. The EPA is protected from what I understand by qualified immunity. I havent checked on the lawsuits in a couple yrs but I remember the citizens trying. The EPA needs shut down along with all the other alphabet soup, FDA, CIA, FBI.
You are right about their illogical behavior. So, what could possibly be driving this (and many other) behaviors to destroy California?
One theory is to drive people out and make it unsupportive of current living demands in our over populated world. In other words, to prepare that state for the return of the globalists in which to make their homes after they successfully take over. By then, the state will be sparsely populated and the globalists will have their coastal mansions and mountain retreats where there will be enough natural resources to support them without dams and hydroelectric supplemental power. They just have a few more superpowers to overthrow and another plandemic or two to get it all for themselves.
I believe that is one likely theory. Others have stated they believe that was the motive.
Some believe the fires were caused by DEW (Directed Energy Weapons) because the burn patterns were so erratic. For example, a car was found burned - the aluminum head of the engine had become molten and melted. That doesn't happen in a wild fire. The temps don't have a chance of getting that intense. A few dozen yards away there was green grass and no sign of burning. Trees were video taped burning from the inside out as if they were heated from the inside first. In other words, the energy was directed. Was all of this debunked? Sure - just like the half dozen "conspiracy theories" were debunked about COVID. Funny that all those conspiracy theories ended up being true about COVID.
The handling of the disaster was appalling. Prime land owned by peasants so to speak.
It was really really weird. Everything that was a certain color blue was left totally untouched even if the area around it was scorched to bare earth for yards around it.
They still havent said anything about the 1000 kids that were missing but never officially reported missing either. Just rumors and misinformation.
Amazing all the COVID conspiracy theories were true. Almost like nobody expects the peasants to have a brain.
tj, You are reading the right sources. Chuck Goldman (comments on this site) and I kid around about wearing blue because of the DEW. He jokes that it is interesting the UN helmets are also blue.
I believe there is no other explanation for the burn patterns and intensity observed at the site.
I have a few places I hit, Don is first with coffee. Sometimes it is hard to sift though the mess. You know you found something when the article disappears quick. All those pictures showing no damage to blue and weird burn patterns are pretty much gone, gone within a few hours usually.
Sorry I am running really really cynical this morning - I watched commentators and listened to Old Yeller, couldnt bear to watch him after a couple mins. And only did the listen for another 20.
IMO, the southern part of California takes most of the available water for their pools and lawns, with a big NYAH NYAH to the rest of the state. NYAH means we're rich and you aren't. Our pool man makes more than you do, so NYAH NYAH
re: Virginia. Twenty years ago I left Morgantown to take a job in rural Virginia. Part of it was West Virginia's public schools and part a lifetime of frustration with a state legislature that was nearly 90% Democrat, seemingly 100% of which comprised malpractice lawyers.
Now the situation has reversed: West Virginia, thanks to Hillary's promise to convert all us veteran coal miners into coders, West Virginia wised-up. I saw a news article last week where venture capitalists leaving New York are considering West Virginia as one of their best options. Virginia has turned into a Democrat s-hole.
Virginia's General Assembly is going full steam, with dozens of anti-gun laws - all unconstitutional - now lying on the governor's desk to be signed. Fortunately Youngkin's a Republican, but I don't fully trust him, either.
I used to make a yearly pilgrimage to Mr. Jefferson's House and his School in Charlottesville. No more. Wokesters have taken over Monticello, and as near as I can tell, nobody but Sally Hemmings ever lived there. And as for UVA, Mr. Jefferson's School? Vide infra.
I loved Monticello but moved on for the reasons you state.
Thomas Jefferson retired to his other estate called POPLAR FOREST so even Jefferson left Monticello in the end, returning occasionally for business reasons. Poplar Forest is not as fancy, but just as beautiful - and not very crowded. It is near Lynchburg. Yes, that is still in Virginia, but in the part of the state that is more in line with West Virginia values. Also the home of Liberty University where Dave Brat now works since leaving politics.
The riots will be coming to your city or a city near you very soon. The only question left unanswered is "What will be the triggering event?" I know this because FJB is not filling aircraft with carefully selected, thoroughly vetted upstanding citizens seeking a new more productive life as they assimilate into American society. The "new arrivals" as FJB lovingly calls them are not being monitored by the national law enforcement teams. Those teams are too busy scouring the country for those who failed to participate in the Democratic Party's insurrection dance on January 6. The next riot may be set off by an ordinary citizen defending himself against an attack by one of the citizen soldiers FJB has imported from Venezuela or Aden.
Jim, your warning points to what may be the biggest, most destructive event this year, perhaps decade. It is becoming clear the millions of military-aged illegals breaking into our country are here for MASSIVE destruction that could begin by summer. Obama is SOOO CLOSE to reaching his goal, it is by any means necessary.
I am a crazy conspiracy theorist (and wear that crown proudly) and believe we will see two major events before election day:
1. Massive riots and murder binges across the nation that will go on for months. Think BLM on steroids.
2. The largest stock market crash in history, the timing of which will coincide with Trump’s re-election.
I haven't seen enough to indicate whether another pandemic will be part of this total meltdown of society, but I believe the release of one is ready to go. It is the back up plan for sure so we can be locked down and vote remotely.
This is the 21st century version of a nuclear bomb.
The billionaires are all building/buying doomsday bunkers for a reason. 2024 is the line in the sand for whether we win or lose the country.
The crash of commercial real estate is in progress. Local government is supported by local tax producing offices and malls. Those assets, secured by multimillion, sometimes multibillion dollar loans are headed toward a crash similar to the 2008-2009 banking crisis. The residential banking crisis was caused by massive fraud in residential real estate. The fraud was official US government policy which included demands banks make loan to unqualified borrowers because the borrowers were minorities. Government policy is driving the coming crisis. Covid drove millions of Mom and Pop business into Bankruptcy while driving workers out of office buildings. The offices and the retail stores they supported now sit largely vacant. As if defunding the police and other crazy policies were not enough, the destruction of commercial real estate deprives every large city of its biggest source of revenue. The legalized theft. no bail systems, Soros DA's and homelessness are administering the coup de gras to inner cities. Millions of illegal mean manual labor wages are going to be driven down to subsistence levels. A perfect storm is forming.
I have the opposite conspiracy theory. The Dems will not release the Kracken until after the election. Any chaos before the election will ensure Trump is elected. After the election they will try to goad Trump into a Kent State scenario. There will be riots throughout the country fully funded by Soros and his ilk. The Trumpster knows this of course since it happened during his first term. This time he doesn't have to be reelected so he should have a freer hand restoring a semblance of order, at least in those states that want order.
Interesting and thanks for adding to the conspiracy theory list. Either way, it will play out as a dangerous distraction for the country. The November election will be like watching a violent Super Bowl. Perhaps Doritos and Bud Light will be running commercials during it.
Yeah, he just opened up the gates because he has nothing to lose. They citizen soldiers have been coming across since FJB opened the border. His WH claimed it was all families. Nope, 70% military aged men. Now the ratio is up to 90-95%. Look at the pics from late 2021 and some from now.
Tucker had an excellent piece on what's going on in the military and all the illegals - there is a proposal currently making it's way through Congress to offer then a "pathway to citizenship" if they'll join our military - since they can't get Americans to put up with their crap anymore.
When the elites insult West Virginia, they show there true colors. They know nothing of the hard working brave men and women who live there. They know little about how and why the state was formed. The arrogance is palpable. I hope one day they don’t get to see the effect personally of letting in invaders without education skills and the same judeo-Christian foundation that most in our country has. Many have suffered at the willful incompetence of Biden et al. God bless Laken Riley and her family. FJB
I think birds have bigger brains than these people. Teaching a man to fish in California isn't going to help him eat now, is it?
California suffers from severe droughts, steals water from the Colorado river, and tears down the dams that would hold enough water to get them through the droughts.
This is NOT stupidity. This is INTENTIONAL evil.
The last few years I've been learning how to garden in my back yard.
Have you seen a picture of RimaAnn? It's the usual man-hating by an ugly woman: I can't get any lovin' and if I can't, then you can't either. She's well-named, though; I'll give her that.
The Cali dam disaster dumped gazillions of tons of known to be contaminated ( heavy metals) into the river beds strangling all life forms. They knew it was toxic btw, but didn’t want to pay the cost to clean the muck up before they emptied the reservoirs. Now it will be cheaper to dredge the poison sludge, but all the fish, insects, and whatever feeds on them are dead. Morons! The enemy of good is perfect. Remember that next time you decide to play God, birdbrains.
Well I guess we can replace the dams with wind turbines. This way we can save the eco-system by balancing out the killing of hundreds of thousands of fish with the killing of hundreds of thousands of birds.
In Primm Nevada, near Las Vegas they built 3 large solar steam generators that focus the solar rays at a beacon on top of one of 3 large towers. The other benefit of superheating the tower is it instantly fries all manner of birds flying near them. It’s akin to a giant bug zapper without the blue light. All manner of birds are found at the base from endangered spicers to non. The government could make extra money opening a KFC next door, saving money on the F, but no….Birdbrains…literally and figuratively.
Like the Vax, wind power is neither safe or effective.
OK. Here's my AOC joke of the day: I heard Alexandria Ocasio Cortez can't support wind turbines because their big fans may cause damaging winds like a hurricane.
Sounds like one of the other bird brains in congress who thought Guam might tip over because there were too many people on it
Hank Johnson. Link is here:

Shrugged you are citing a democrat member of their Mensa club.
Yeah, Hank is as smart as they get. I have to remember, Hank only made $174,000 as a Senator. . . . .so we should be thankful for his service and sacrifice.
And fill up the landfills when they wear out their usefulness or get hit by high winds.
To highlight the other side of the dam-busting: it's well known, at least in engineering circles, that dams have limited lifespans, generally from 50 to 150 years. Look it up. They also lose their usefulness because the reservoirs behind them fill with sediment -- which the river used to flush out to the sea.

And the farmers are left high and dry in the process.
America is running out of electricity today. Any reduction in production makes it worse.

IMO, the southern part of California takes most of the available water for their pools and lawns, with a big NYAH NYAH to the rest of the state. NYAH means we're rich and you aren't. Our pool man makes more than you do, so NYAH NYAH
re: Virginia. Twenty years ago I left Morgantown to take a job in rural Virginia. Part of it was West Virginia's public schools and part a lifetime of frustration with a state legislature that was nearly 90% Democrat, seemingly 100% of which comprised malpractice lawyers.
Now the situation has reversed: West Virginia, thanks to Hillary's promise to convert all us veteran coal miners into coders, West Virginia wised-up. I saw a news article last week where venture capitalists leaving New York are considering West Virginia as one of their best options. Virginia has turned into a Democrat s-hole.
Virginia's General Assembly is going full steam, with dozens of anti-gun laws - all unconstitutional - now lying on the governor's desk to be signed. Fortunately Youngkin's a Republican, but I don't fully trust him, either.
I used to make a yearly pilgrimage to Mr. Jefferson's House and his School in Charlottesville. No more. Wokesters have taken over Monticello, and as near as I can tell, nobody but Sally Hemmings ever lived there. And as for UVA, Mr. Jefferson's School? Vide infra.

I loved Monticello but moved on for the reasons you state.
Thomas Jefferson retired to his other estate called POPLAR FOREST so even Jefferson left Monticello in the end, returning occasionally for business reasons. Poplar Forest is not as fancy, but just as beautiful - and not very crowded. It is near Lynchburg. Yes, that is still in Virginia, but in the part of the state that is more in line with West Virginia values. Also the home of Liberty University where Dave Brat now works since leaving politics.

will liberty fight that $14 million fine or just write the check?
You’ll have to ask Dave Brat, PhD and economist.
well...netflix says women won ww2.
The riots will be coming to your city or a city near you very soon. The only question left unanswered is "What will be the triggering event?" I know this because FJB is not filling aircraft with carefully selected, thoroughly vetted upstanding citizens seeking a new more productive life as they assimilate into American society. The "new arrivals" as FJB lovingly calls them are not being monitored by the national law enforcement teams. Those teams are too busy scouring the country for those who failed to participate in the Democratic Party's insurrection dance on January 6. The next riot may be set off by an ordinary citizen defending himself against an attack by one of the citizen soldiers FJB has imported from Venezuela or Aden.
Jim, your warning points to what may be the biggest, most destructive event this year, perhaps decade. It is becoming clear the millions of military-aged illegals breaking into our country are here for MASSIVE destruction that could begin by summer. Obama is SOOO CLOSE to reaching his goal, it is by any means necessary.
I am a crazy conspiracy theorist (and wear that crown proudly) and believe we will see two major events before election day:
1. Massive riots and murder binges across the nation that will go on for months. Think BLM on steroids.
2. The largest stock market crash in history, the timing of which will coincide with Trump’s re-election.
I haven't seen enough to indicate whether another pandemic will be part of this total meltdown of society, but I believe the release of one is ready to go. It is the back up plan for sure so we can be locked down and vote remotely.
This is the 21st century version of a nuclear bomb.
The billionaires are all building/buying doomsday bunkers for a reason. 2024 is the line in the sand for whether we win or lose the country.
The crash of commercial real estate is in progress. Local government is supported by local tax producing offices and malls. Those assets, secured by multimillion, sometimes multibillion dollar loans are headed toward a crash similar to the 2008-2009 banking crisis. The residential banking crisis was caused by massive fraud in residential real estate. The fraud was official US government policy which included demands banks make loan to unqualified borrowers because the borrowers were minorities. Government policy is driving the coming crisis. Covid drove millions of Mom and Pop business into Bankruptcy while driving workers out of office buildings. The offices and the retail stores they supported now sit largely vacant. As if defunding the police and other crazy policies were not enough, the destruction of commercial real estate deprives every large city of its biggest source of revenue. The legalized theft. no bail systems, Soros DA's and homelessness are administering the coup de gras to inner cities. Millions of illegal mean manual labor wages are going to be driven down to subsistence levels. A perfect storm is forming.
I have the opposite conspiracy theory. The Dems will not release the Kracken until after the election. Any chaos before the election will ensure Trump is elected. After the election they will try to goad Trump into a Kent State scenario. There will be riots throughout the country fully funded by Soros and his ilk. The Trumpster knows this of course since it happened during his first term. This time he doesn't have to be reelected so he should have a freer hand restoring a semblance of order, at least in those states that want order.
Interesting and thanks for adding to the conspiracy theory list. Either way, it will play out as a dangerous distraction for the country. The November election will be like watching a violent Super Bowl. Perhaps Doritos and Bud Light will be running commercials during it.
The young men being lured to our border are likely building their sleeper cells, until ... ....
They are being sent here to build sleeper cells. We are under attack.
Yeah, he just opened up the gates because he has nothing to lose. They citizen soldiers have been coming across since FJB opened the border. His WH claimed it was all families. Nope, 70% military aged men. Now the ratio is up to 90-95%. Look at the pics from late 2021 and some from now.
We will see fighting on home land again.
Tucker had an excellent piece on what's going on in the military and all the illegals - there is a proposal currently making it's way through Congress to offer then a "pathway to citizenship" if they'll join our military - since they can't get Americans to put up with their crap anymore.
When the elites insult West Virginia, they show there true colors. They know nothing of the hard working brave men and women who live there. They know little about how and why the state was formed. The arrogance is palpable. I hope one day they don’t get to see the effect personally of letting in invaders without education skills and the same judeo-Christian foundation that most in our country has. Many have suffered at the willful incompetence of Biden et al. God bless Laken Riley and her family. FJB
The gang at MSNBC consider Laken Riley’s gruesome murder an acceptable sacrifice for their values, and they feel the same about you.
I think birds have bigger brains than these people. Teaching a man to fish in California isn't going to help him eat now, is it?
California suffers from severe droughts, steals water from the Colorado river, and tears down the dams that would hold enough water to get them through the droughts.
This is NOT stupidity. This is INTENTIONAL evil.
The last few years I've been learning how to garden in my back yard.
Sub, you are spot on with it is evil by design.
Have you seen a picture of RimaAnn? It's the usual man-hating by an ugly woman: I can't get any lovin' and if I can't, then you can't either. She's well-named, though; I'll give her that.
It's also a good bet that she's never been kissed like that.
Oooftah! There is not enough liquor in the world to make that even remotely tempting. Not even on a triple-dog dare!
Monitor alert!!! omg, no. There is not enough beer to make them beer googles.
Spanish for “birdbrain” = “cerebro de pajaro” or
“Señor Biden” for an abbreviation.
The Cali dam disaster dumped gazillions of tons of known to be contaminated ( heavy metals) into the river beds strangling all life forms. They knew it was toxic btw, but didn’t want to pay the cost to clean the muck up before they emptied the reservoirs. Now it will be cheaper to dredge the poison sludge, but all the fish, insects, and whatever feeds on them are dead. Morons! The enemy of good is perfect. Remember that next time you decide to play God, birdbrains.
The EPA (and all its likeminded affiliates), needs to be shut down and boarded up, and it’s employees arrested and charged with “eco-terrorism”!
