“Lawful” is doing a lot of work here.
Career bureaucrats don’t get to violate lawful orders from the President of the United States. They answer to the president, and he answers to the people. Really not that complicated.

This is sending water not to fight fires but to flood agricultural land in the winter, when farmers don’t need it, and risking running out before summer, when they will. It is senseless water mismanagement solely for the sake of a reckless egotist.
Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California. Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory! I only wish they listened to me six years ago – There would have been no fire!

Boo hoo.
I hope the fossils in the Senate understand the RFK Jr. nomination is not politics as usual. It's not politics of any kind. It's life and death for American families. If you take this opportunity away from us -- ALL of us -- we're going to take it personally. Read the room. Whatever those industries are paying you, it won't be worth it. I'm with @NicoleShanahan on this.

The great @robrtgreene on Trump’s incessant lying about water in California. Spoiler alerts: There is no “spigot,” and the recent fires had nothing to do with a lack of water from the north.
Commentary: Does Donald Trump truly believe the nonsense he spouts about California water — the mythical “valve” connecting the state to Canada, or the imagined “half-pipe” that stands ready to soak the Los Angeles area? 📝 Robert Greene

This, of course, is a bald-faced lie. There is no water flowing into California from the Pacific Northwest, and the US military did no such thing.
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!!! Donald Trump Truth Social Post 11:12 PM EST 01/27/25

@MonicaWrig58908 @BrandonRichards All good questions to pursue. None relevant to these fires. There is no spigot, nor was one needed. There is no conveyance to Canada or Oregon/Washington. When Trump says all that, he is lying.

@MonicaWrig58908 @BrandonRichards None of which has a single thing to do with the fires in Los Angeles.

This, of course, is a lie.
Gavin Newsom says there’s not a “spigot” that can be turned on to solve California’s water problems. Here’s a video of 20,000 cubic feet per second of water that is purposely being redirected into the ocean in California:

So, those who complained about the sermon at the National Cathedral and called for the bishop to apologize or, and this one is rich, be “deported”?

Say what you will about Trump: At least he’s bombastic and dumb. There is no pipeline or conveyance that brings water from the Pacific Northwest or Canada to Southern California.
Trump: "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."

“The darkness” is lifting because you’re getting invited to forums? Wow. What an ego.
There is something truly big happening. Astoundingly woke forums are now inviting me to speak at their venues, and I'm getting invited to appear on various Middle Eastern forums. The world is waking up. The darkness is hopefully lifting. The light of truth, reason, and logic is getting through. Back to my book!
