More than 700lbs, Wow! How did that make it past Border Patrol? How many more vehicles make it thru? Congrats and keep up the excellent work!
Newly released body camera footage shows how a traffic stop on a quiet stretch of U.S. Highway 93 led deputies to discover more than 700 pounds of methamphetamine and fentanyl in one of Nevada's largest drug seizures. bit.ly/3U2VtlB

The blue line is Powell inflow from OCT26_MIN 24 month study. Its actual values interpolated from end of month values so smooth. Actuals ended Oct 1 so it doesn’t track latest storms. The dashed line is USBR RISE Powell inflow from reservoir mass balance from change in storage, releases, evaporation and change in bank storage. It’s noisy and peaky. It will show side inflows and rain on the lake which the 4 stacked river gages don’t see. “I grabbed this graph from a set I was working on and it’s a little out of context. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how much Powell was popping again”, said Mr Brightside. “Mead is still dropping. Only 150,000 AF above 1035’ and standard turbine shutoff if 1035’ really is the critical elevation”, said Dr Doom and chicken little.

Looks like the Lower Division State plan is DOA. Here are the cuts without California (IID) sharing up to 440,000acf/year. CAP now goes to zero at 1.8mm shortage. Ouch. Why did California offer to share the shortage? Avoidance of litigation and $$. What do we have now? Litigation and no $$ for IID. Brenda, Ted and Katie made a big mistake.

Maybe you shouldn't have taken $747mm from the WIFA LTWAF and spent it on healthcare for illegal aliens. Then Ted Cooke would have had some $$$ to work on new water supplies for the Juniors in Arizona.
The federal government is threatening cuts to our Colorado River water well beyond the Lower Basin Agreement and refusing to hold the Upper Basin accountable. I'm joining Nevada in court to protect Arizona's water and stop the forced cuts that could devastate our families, farmers and businesses.

The Lower Division States plan plan from May 1st is on life support. California (IID) agreed to share 440,000 acf/y of CAP and SNWAs shortages for two years in return for no litigation and $$. Neither of those things happened. You think California (IID) is happy? Priority time.
“Arizona Department of Water Resources Director Tom Buschatzke announced Friday that the state filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit by the neighboring state.” “the federal plan “would devastate Arizona’s economy.” latimes.com/environment/stor…

Farm workers get OT after 40 hours as well. California is the only State that requires this. Governor 960 is raising good price for 500mm consumers in North America

Meanwhile, Junior priority Front Range Cities continue to grow non-functional turf.
At Monday’s meeting, @ColoradoWater General Manager Andy Mueller expressed concern regarding the disproportionate impact of water conservation on western Colorado agriculture. “If you don’t have state laws requiring proportionality from all Colorado River users, meaning the Front Range as well, all of that water not only comes off the West Slope, it comes out of West Slope [agriculture],” he said. Colorado’s conservation goal is 100,000 acre-feet of water. “If all of that comes out of West Slope [agriculture], that’s a big hit to our local economies, to our small towns, to our agricultural industry, and it may be just the beginning of what we view as a permanent program,” Mueller added.  soprissun.com/garco-report-c…

Its a grift
The climate lawsuits are always about the cut. Sher Edling is on contingency. >Charleston: 25% of the first $100 million >Minnesota: 16.67% of the first $150 million >DC: up to $70 million One of their lawyers helped write the judicial “climate science” manual that passed off contested claims as settled fact before it got pulled. SCOTUS heard Boulder yesterday. Same firm using the same script with your money.

The dollar is no longer backed by either gold or oil. It’s back by debt. And there is no exit that doesn’t involve pain.

Senator R2D2
Let’s be completely honest about the interview of Senator Mark Kelly by Margaret Brennan of Face The Nation. Kelly, the shortest man in Congress, attacked Trump and Hegseth, while they were not there to defend themselves. This biased lefty cunt, gave Captain Mark Kelly 9 minutes to spew his opinions, all of which were rooted in his hatred of Trump and Hegseth. Kelly’s lies were untethered to any evidence, and were all based on the very personal grudges he has with them. For example, Kelly called Pete Hegseth aka Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, a racist, for firing females, and Blacks. Are you fucking kidding me? If these people were unqualified, and promoted using the racist principles of DEI, they can also be fired when deemed to be unqualified. Kelly used identity politics to pander to women, blacks, and every committed lefty, all of whom only vote BLUE. Kelly, once upon a time was a soldier with distinguished service and honor. Since removing his uniform, Kelly serves no one except himself and his party, and any honor he once had he’s tossed overboard. Kelly wears a Navy hat and flight jacket for the same reason a child wears a Halloween costume; to hide his true identity.

Could it be that the lack of promotion was that they didn't earn it? Was Senator R2D2 a Flag Officer?
This was a pretty extraordinary allegation from Democrat Senator Mark Kelly. Almost sounds defamatory... During an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation, Kelly accused Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of making personnel decisions based on “the color of their skin” or “because they’re women.” Even Margaret Brennan immediately stepped in to point out that Hegseth would deny the allegation. KELLY: “Well, he often fires people because of the color of their skin or because they’re women. He also seems to be looking—” Brennan immediately shot back. BRENNAN: “He would deny that.” KELLY: “Of course he would deny that. I think anybody would deny that, but it’s pretty obvious when you have a list of seven people who don’t promote from one star to two-star and five are either black or women, it’s pretty obvious.” Wow. That is a heck of a claim to make on national television.

Kroller-Muller Museum on Otterlo has some good ones. Opposite of central Amsterdam with the immigrant hordes. Cool place.
Her name was Johanna Bonger. In January 1891 she was 28, newly widowed, and holding an inheritance almost no one wanted. Theo Van Gogh had died at 33, six months after his brother Vincent. Jo was left in a Paris apartment with their infant son, Vincent Willem, and the bulk of Vincent’s work: roughly 200 paintings, hundreds of drawings, and the brothers’ letters. She was told to leave the canvases with dealers in Paris. Vincent was still a failed painter. She packed them anyway and went home to the Netherlands. In Bussum she opened a boarding house to support herself and her son, and hung Vincent’s pictures on the walls so guests would have to look at them. Then she read the correspondence. Nearly all of it was from Vincent to Theo. The letters turned the paintings from oddities into a life. For the next 34 years she treated that inheritance as a campaign. She lent works, organized shows, and sold carefully so the pictures would be seen, not hoarded. In 1905 she staged the largest Van Gogh exhibition ever held, 443 works at the Stedelijk in Amsterdam. In 1914 she published the letters in three volumes, at her own expense, and had Theo’s body moved from Utrecht to Auvers-sur-Oise so the brothers could lie side by side. Critics called her sentimental. She kept going. Between 1891 and 1925 she sold nearly 200 works, including a Sunflowers to the National Gallery in London in 1924, which she described as “a sacrifice for the sake of Vincent’s glory.” She died in 1925, at 62, still translating the letters into English. By then Vincent was world-famous. Her son later placed the family collection in a foundation. The Van Gogh Museum opened in Amsterdam in 1973. Vincent painted the stars. Jo made sure the world had to look up. Sources: Van Gogh Museum; Johanna van Gogh-Bonger biographical records.

19% increase. Many crops only come from California. Governor 960 says inflation is caused by T47.
Another bone head move from clueless Sacto. California is the only State to require Overtime pay for farm workers as well. Its like they want to bankrupt the industry. Sacto is constantly reminding us who they are, ABC is a rule to live by. Https://www.thepacker.com/ne…
