And while they’re working on killing our “bread basket” they’re also regulating who can and cannot grow food and what type can be grown for what purpose…

Or am I mistaken that’s what the recent FDA legislation was doing? I’d link it but that was a week or two ago that came up so I don’t remember where to find it.

Take as many of the fish they can live-catch, put them in aquariums,
and turn the water back on for the farmers.
When the rains come back, re-introduce the fish back into the water.
It’s sooooo easy, and makes sense.
But making sense is NOT what this administration is about.

My wife and I recently went through here visiting our grandchildren in Nor Cal. It is utterly amazing what’s happened to this area. It looks like a dust bowl!
This type of tactic has been used by the left since the early 70′s; that is going to court to shut down various business sections of our economy. The rallying cry has been to damage our industry to damage the US. They figure even if they get overruled in court they’ve still inflicted severe harm. This is why it is vital to elect a Republican President. It’s he who makes the appointment to the federal courts.

Walmart???

Michelle, healthy fruit & veggies that you so much desire for all of America’s children are grown on farms. Farms that use be in California until your husband turned off the water. You see, those little fruits & veggies need plenty of sunshine & water to grow.

So I guess you will have to ask Barack what country we are going to be buying these fruits & veggies from that you so desire for our poor, poor little ones.

on your original link. It is all but unreadable on my screen.

version of the decision and my thoughts on it.

This would be the reason Babs Boxer has asked the area be designated as federally protected land, not for the PEOPLE, but for the stinking fish.

It is part of the federal land grab.

and the Nation follows.

When the family farm does well, so does the rest of its citizenry.

What I want to know, is the Delta smelt a native species or something that was introduced decades or maybe even centuries (late 1800′s) ago to deal with mosquitoes or some other pest?

Plus what better place than federally created dust bowl farmland to open the civilian core training camps that were mentioned in the health care bill. How many farms were foreclosed on and taken over?

Maybe it’s time Babs learns what a real days work is. Get down and dirty tending the land to feed her family. Wait, there’s no water available to grow the food to feed families.

The ocean needs to be watered instead of the land, trees, fields, animals and people.

This is getting silly.

The Obama administration said Wednesday that it supports plans to build a new aqueduct to deliver Sacramento River water to the south, marking the first time the federal government has endorsed a proposal that has simmered in California for decades. However, federal officials stopped short of endorsing a massive set of intakes and tunnels that state officials want to build.

“This is the last best hope to deal with these issues in the San Francisco Bay-Delta,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said. “This is the only game in town.”

‘Last best hope’ ?

Sec. Salazar, have you ever seen a real honest-to-God upr………. Never mind.

The Food Safety Modernization Act, S510, has been called by some the “Food Fascism act”.

The sleazy Dems had tucked it into the nearly 2000-page omnibus spending bill (which Harry Reid finally yanked Thursday because he didn’t have the votes to pass it).

But, true to form, our dear Dimmies claim they haven’t given up on it. (Do they EVER give up on the power-grab bills? nooooooo.)

I’m sure this has absolutely nothing to do with anything else anywhere.

A US environmental group has found that drinking water in 35 American cities contains hexavalent chromium, a probable carcinogen, The Washington Post reported Sunday.

The study by the Environmental Working Group — the first nationwide analysis measuring the presence of the chemical in US water systems — is to be made public on Monday, the daily reported. The group found hexavalent chromium in the tap water of 31 out of 35 cities sampled. Of those, 25 had levels that exceeded the goal proposed in California, which has been trying aggressively to reduce the chemical in its water supply.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency is considering whether to set a limit for hexavalent chromium in tap water. The agency is reviewing the chemical after the National Institutes of Health, deemed it a “probable carcinogen” in 2008.

Follow the power, follow the money. But mostly, follow the trail of the leftists and their Totalitarian goals of complete command and control.

This is as of July 2010 from The Bureau Of Labor Statistics.

The 8-county average unemployment for July 2010 was 16.74%.
At the time, the national average was 9.7%.

This is very bad. Read it @ thehill.com. It was a unanimous vote. It sounds like it was tucked into the CR. Get ready for another bill to repeal

Associated Press report:

A storm pounding California with record rain forced authorities in the San Joaquin Valley to call Monday for the evacuation of some 2,000 residents of the farming community of McFarland due to major flooding.

An estimated 400 to 500 homes were in danger, Kern County Fire Department spokesman Sean Collins said.

A sheriff’s helicopter crew was trying to locate the source of the flooding, which possibly was coming from ditches and canals that supply water to farms, Collins said. Two evacuation centers were set up.

I can’t bring myself to comment on this ‘twist of fate’, other than to offer my prayers and thoughts for those affected.

Record rain and flooding has washed the Delta Smelt out to sea,
wiping out the species.

They killed crops for so many miles you can see this area from 30,000 feet. Someone should spray paint the brown with a giant Obama campaign symbol. This issue should have been solved by spring 2009. Turn on the water, then build sump wells in the river so water collects in a confined space with screens to keep the minnow out. Pump the water from the well and tell the enviro-fascists to eff off.

I also remember reading about fertilizer levels in the water being too high but the levels weren’t as bad as the Cali scientists ranted. Hannity did a good job outing the scientists as being fear mongerers and out of touch.

Blame Obama in the 2012 elections because thanks to Obama many jobs, crops and homes were lost while CA sought to import more fruits and veggies overseas. Some decisions only take days to act but no, wait on the courts and still no water.

From the venerable Mike Taugher at The Contra Costa Times:

A key annual survey performed each fall showed the Delta smelt population continues to hover at a level some biologists believe is near extinction……

http://www.contracostatimes.com/top-stories/ci_16976494

And while new environmental restrictions on pumping water out of the Delta have had only minor to moderate effects on pumping rates to date — despite the loud claims from politicians and national media figures to the contrary — the new restrictions could have a more substantial effect if 2011 becomes a wet year.

There’s a $12 Billion plan in the works to re-direct water via a new tunnel system…… Gee, I wonder how lovingly the enviro-loons will embrace that…… Plus…… Take a wild guess who’s gonna pay for the project.

At what point does this entire mass of insanity blow up in a firestorm with pitchforks and torches ?
