President Trump Invokes EMERGENCY POWERS, Sends Military To California To ‘Turn On’ Water!

This has been an eye opening first week with President Trump back in the White House, even for those of us who longed for him to get there!

It seems like just when I think he’s finally outdone himself…

Just when I begin to think there’s no way he could shock us again with his outside-the-box solutions that make complete obvious sense once he says it out loud or makes it happen…

He does it again!

Just after 11PM EST Monday night, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he had taken action in keeping with his Executive Order authorizing government agencies to do whatever necessary to get the man-made water problem FIXED and the water flowing again in California.

Here’s what he posted:

Here’s the full text of his post in case that doesn’t load:

The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!

After all, it was indeed a man-made problem and there should be a man-made solution.

But I don’t know that anyone expected — or even thought of — the follow on action that he was ready to take to make good on his intention.

President Trump sent the U.S. military into California, presumably to re-divert the water that Newsom’s state government had diverted to flow out into the Pacific!

A lot of the solutions President Trump floats, and then executes, aren’t rocket science.

They tend to be simple, practical, common sense solutions that most people never consider.

That’s exactly what this seems like to me.  There was a problem, an obvious solution, and before simply giving up to find a DIFFERENT — possibly more complex — solution, he simply kept working the problem.

And he found a way to enact the solution that made the most sense, was the quickest fix, the least expensive fix, which was within his power to act upon.

Just send in the military and MAKE IT HAPPEN — Brilliant!

This news comes as most media pundits are still debating the efficacy of President Trump’s Executive Orders regarding water resources in California.

In a nutshell, most of California’s democrat leadership (should read ‘corrupt Trump-hating politicians‘) are taking the view that this isn’t a simple fix, and obviously President Trump in all his arrogant ignorance has oversimplified the problem, and thus the solution.

But… has he?

According to the California Department of Water Resources… not only is President Trump oversimplifying the problem, but he lied and the military did not enter California to fulfill his orders.

Somehow, I have a feeling the California democrat-run Department of Water Resources might be fibbing, and President Trump could be telling the truth.

I don’t have any proof… just a hunch.

The newest water-related order, signed Sunday, effectively empowered both state and federal officials to override local officials if necessary in order to increase the water supply available, as reported by USA Today:

President Donald Trump signed a wide-ranging executive order Sunday demanding federal and state officials deliver more water and other resources to southern California to help fight wildfires – even if it means clashing with area leaders.

Trump for weeks has criticized California officials over their handling of the latest wildfire blazes, which have killed at least 28 people and burned more than 35,000 acres.

“Firefighters were unable to fight the massive wildfires due to dry hydrants, empty reservoirs, and inadequate water infrastructure,” the president wrote in an order earlier this month. Some hydrants in Los Angeles area ran dry during the height of the wildfires, but local officials say that’s because they were not designed to deal with major disasters.

During a roundtable meeting with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and other officials afterward, Trump said Friday he didn’t know how “devastating” the fires were until he saw for himself.

“I didn’t realize. I saw a lot of bad things on television, but the extent of it, the size of it. We flew over it,” Trump said of the fire damage. “It is devastation. It’s incredible. It’s really an incineration.”

Trump clashed with Bass on local management and whether residents, including those living in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, can return to what’s left of their homes.

Here’s a clip of President Trump covered by Fox News talking about his plans for Sunday’s Executive Order as he spoke alongside local and state officials in the Pacific Palisades area on Friday.

“I’m signing an executive order to open up the pumps and valves in the north. We want to get that water pouring down here as quickly as possible.

You’re talking about unlimited water coming up from the Pacific Northwest, even coming from parts of Canada.”

Those up late enough to catch the news as it broke instantly recognized the “optics”, and how miniscule Gavin Newsom must feel in contrast to actual leadership.

Journalist Nick Sortor was one of the first to spread the news after President Trump’s social media announcement.

Here was his take on the ‘ah-ha’ moment he imagined Newsom having:

Another top X account pointed out the ‘mind numbing’ incompetence required to create a circumstance where the President had to use the Emergency Powers Act to fix an issue that local and state authorities created, and refused to fix.

Meanwhile, normal (non-brainwashed) Californians are celebrating President Trump’s actions.

They’ve been here before, because he had to do something similar during his first term!

Even mainstream left-leaning news outlets running interference for those trying to argue against President Trump’s stance can’t help telling the truth once in a while.

Here’s the single factual paragraph buried at the very end of an article slamming his actions, as well as lauding the extreme environmental positions, published by Bloomberg:

Trump’s order asserts broad executive and federal authority over water management decisions in California. The president directed his Interior and Commerce secretaries to immediately “override existing activities that unduly burden efforts” to maximize water deliveries. And he orders the federal Bureau of Reclamation to take every possible step to ensure state agencies don’t interfere with its operation of the Central Valley Water project “to maximize water delivery to high-need communities or otherwise.”

And yet, it seems that no matter how many times or how clearly President Trump opens his mouth to propagate common sense reality, those responsible for creating these problems refuse to hear it.

He talked about it for 7 minutes straight on the infamous Joe Rogan appearance prior to election day.

Everyone attacked him for it.

And then… he was proven right.

Here’s some of the data plugged in to a nice graphic showing some of the inflow vs outflow amounts, and how much water is actually wasted by California’s redirection policy.

I actually did a little math of my own.  I required extra coffee, but I pulled it off.

That 20,000 cubic feet of water per SECOND that Kevin Kiley talked about in the post showing the outflow of water into the Pacific turns into…

  • 150,000 gallons a second.
  • 9 MILLION gallons a minute.
  • 13,000,000,000 BILLION gallons a day.
  • 430 times California’s total daily water usage.

And that is just from that one diverted man-made drain emptying into the Pacific Ocean.

Which means California doesn’t have a water problem.

They have a governmental problem.

They have a leadership problem.

They have a politician problem.

And unfortunately, that’s way worse than having a water problem in many ways.

For proof of that statement you need look no further than the myriad of times President Trump has tried, in vain, to talk sense to those creating this problem and blaming it on climate change and every other possible thing.

He has repeatedly argued that water flow could have been boosted to Los Angeles to help fight the fires according to a report published in The Hill:

President Trump directed U.S. government agencies to override California’s water policies as needed — slamming the state’s handling of the Los Angeles region’s wildfires in an executive order this weekend.

“Firefighters were unable to fight the blaze due to dry hydrants, empty reservoirs, and inadequate water infrastructure,” the order stated. “It is in the Nation’s interest to ensure that California has what it needs to prevent and fight these fires and others in the future.”

Writing that “it is the policy of the United States to provide Southern California with necessary water resources,” the order directed federal officials to “immediately take actions to override existing activities that unduly burden efforts to maximize water deliveries.”

The order follows comments Trump made Friday prior to visiting Los Angeles, at which time he said he would condition federal wildfire assistance on both voter identification mandates and a release of more water from Northern California statewide.

Trump has repeatedly argued that California officials could have boosted water flow to Los Angeles from the northern part of the state simply by pumping more of the resource.

Earlier this month, he went so far as to call on Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to resign, while also accusing him of failing to sign a declaration that would have “allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way.”

I’m left with the thought I alluded to at the beginning of this article.

Why?  Why can President Trump so consistently see the clear and common sense solutions that so many of us miss to problems like this?

I don’t mean simply end the redirecting of the water, or using the pumping stations appropriately.

He opted to send in the military to force a solution — something that many of us didn’t even consider, even if we agree with it now that it has happened.

Why is President Trump consistently seeing those simple answers when so many others don’t?

I believe it is because even most of us who consider ourselves critical thinkers and natural rebels with our eye on freedom and our ears constantly listening for the sound of approaching tyrants… even we are somewhat propagandized and indoctrinated by a culture that believes you CAN’T do such and such…

  1. Because… do you have the authority?
  2. Because… what if someone tells you ‘NO’?
  3. Because… no one does it that way.
  4. Because… won’t you get in trouble for that?

Good Lord — what a nation of slave-minded thinkers we have become, when the most simple and basic solutions often elude us simply because we dismiss them before the thought can even take shape all “because” of our ingrained excuse matrix.

Thankfully, with adequate sleep and enough coffee, we can change.

I read the other day that President Trump only needs 4-5 hours of sleep a night and drinks something like a dozen Diet Cokes a day.  I wonder if that’s HIS secret…

At any rate, I am thankful to have a President on the heels of Biden’s administration that not only doesn’t require constant help remembering where he is, but is actually focused and present in a way that even most of us who are younger than him could aspire towards!

And I’m sorry for the poor little fish that may or may not come to harm as President Trump forces the California officials to let him fix the water problem, in spite of their incompetence and ingratitude.

But enough is enough.  It’s time to fix the water problem.  And if the smelt goes the way of all the earth — ashes to ashes, dust to dust — then so be it.

And I’m sure the California democrats in charge will be able to find some new object to adore at the expense of their human subjects, if that little fish kicks the bucket permanently because the logical, rational, and prudent thing finally won out.

I’m sure their gaze won’t fall on unborn babies upon which to place their irrational attachment; that would be far too rational.

But… they’ll find something.  And you can bet it won’t make a lick of sense, either.
