Chinatown

California is suffering an extended drought ... just like it has done many times in the past ... even long before this "global warming" bugbear. This state goes through repeated periods of too much and then too little water. In years past reservoirs and water transportation systems were built to take advantage of this cycle. (Remember the movie "Chinatown?") Unfortunately, current efforts that could be taken to alleviate the lack of water are now being blocked by environmentalists says Carly Fiorina ... see: Breitbart Article.

Some key points that she makes in this interview with Glenn Beck are:

- California's current drought is a man-made disaster driven by ideology

- 70% of the rain water and snow that now falls in California just washes out to sea

- No new reservoir or water conveyance system has be built during a period when California's population has doubled

- Last year in Washington, efforts to pump more water to Southern California were thwarted by Obama and the Democrats

- The 40% unemployment rate in California's central valley is the price willingly paid by water-restricting environmentalists who care more for fish, frogs and flies than for people.

So now you see children ... environmentalists can be just as bloodthirsty and self-serving as the cruel infrastructure-building capitalists depicted in the movie "Chinatown."

Refugees

In just the city of Chicago 22 people were shot in a twelve hour period yesterday … including an 11-year old girl who was killed sitting in her bedroom eating s’mores … see: Chicago Tribune Story. The gang violence in Chicago is reaching epidemic proportions … just like it has in some Central American countries which are filling up the Death Trains to send their children north to the supposed safety of the United States.

Perhaps the Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, might follow his own dictate and “never let a crisis go to waste.” My studied suggestion would be for him also to start filling up trains leaving from Chicago south to Mexico and Central America with “refugees” from his crime-ridden neighborhoods. This might be the only way these children could have a chance for a better life.

Glenn Beck, take notice …
