  1. In regards to the stream of illegal aliens streaming across the border videos; one of the first and glaring things is that the rapidly moving young men in camos are most likely drug mules bring their poison into our country. These are not the typical illegals coming here for work. I have personally witnessed illegals crossing the border from Mexico along the Arizona border, there are literally freeways around Arravaca and in Cochise County. They can be readily identified by the trails of trash. These young men moving rapidly do not need the typical coyotes to guide them, they are part of a highly trained cartel arm. Build the damn wall, replace politicians that condone these felons. Speak out against them, they are aiding and abetting felons and as such should be subject to arrest and prosecution under our conspiracy laws. We have legal immigration processes and any one not adhering to these should at the minimum be deported, and if caring drugs, jailed or preferably executed as they are contributory to thousands of deaths of US citizens.

  2. There is a place in Southern Quebec called Roxham Road that goes from Vermont into Canada. Illegal immigrants, mainly Haitian and Nigerians whose US visas are expiring cross the border into Canada daily. They are put in hotels given meals and in several years will be given an immigration hearing.
    So far 30,000 of these welfare shoppers or gimmegrants are sponging off the Canadian taxpayer with lots more coming.

  3. Is there a contradiction between the Napoleon article and half of the US is in a drought? If it’s an oncoming ice age I want to go south but with climate change I want to be ready to go north.

    1. The West is most assuredly in a “drought”. I happen to be out camping in the West right now and keep noticing how green it is. An odd thing is happening. Enough rain every day (not in the same place everyday) to keep the wild plants growing and green but not the heavier rain during the expected rainy season to fill the resevoirs. Also everywhere we go we see those huge 500 acre irrigation rings of alfalfa and the irrigation runs 24/7 and it is literally a river of water. The water is there and the “drought” is there too. I think in addition to the actual “drought”/lack of heavy rain when expected the problem is excessive and increasing irrigation sucking up the water from traditional sources.

      The simple fact is that the water rights laws of the West (everything West of the Mississippi) are old, impractical, counter productive and prone to misuse. It is time we have a national policy on water rights, the sooner the better.

  4. If you watch the border rancher videos, several things become very evident.
    1. These groups are well organized, with scouts and point men plus a rear guard. The point men and rearguard are armed, and the scouts have binoculars and in at least one video, night vision.
    2. The mules (cargo carriers) are all military age men in good physical condition, with short haircuts and working in cooperation as a team.
    3. Almost everyone, mules and immigrants, men and women, are wearing similar pattern camo gear.
    4. In the videos where you see the horses and rifle armed men at a gate/fence corner, the leader appears to be a tall Hispanic male wearing a light colored shirt and black load bearing gear and has a star shaped badge on his belt. He is also wearing a ball cap with a similar star badge logo.

    These videos should be enough to declare an emergency and place armed American troops securing the border until the wall is up.
    I recommend each of you contact your congressional representatives and discuss it with them. It being an election year they might listen….nah!

  5. Re: National Water Policy Anon, water = property values. The last thing we need is a national water policy that allows Federal politicians to auction off the nations water to the highest bidder (read campaign contributor). A policy that siphons water from historical farming communities to build more suburbs in Los Angeles will make the Developers richer and fill the secret bank accounts of hundreds of politicians and bureaucrats! That is most likely what would happen. Should we grow more food, or more lush green residential lawns and golf courses? Should we put Senator Diann Finestein in charge of this new wealth redistribution program?

  6. I grew up in the midwest, love to travel in the west, but live on the east coast because of my career. Please know that the water shortages of the west make the news regularly and those that don’t know about it don’t know about alot more than the drought. A couple decades ago my brother told me about a book he read on coming water shortages, so its nothing new. The lack of water in the west is a major puzzler to me as to how the preppers in the west will survive if we have an end of the world as we know it event.

    1. It’ll be “trickle down” economics applied to water, Greg. We’ll get ours but we’ll have to reduce what we allow to continue to continue on downstream. That will affect agriculture, which will impact prices at grocery stores. But I don’t think getting a “national water regulatory agency” involved is going to solve anything – that’s ultimately part of the UN’s Agenda(s).

  7. Pivot irrigation is pumped from somewhere, usually groundwater. Those farmers have water rights, but maybe not the sense to consider how they’re going to grow alfalfa when they’ve pumped the aquifer down. Look at the 30′ subsidence of the San Fernando Valley to see what happens when the groundwater is all pumped to surface irrigate crops.
    Pumping the aquifers, and conversely, fracking for oil and gas, are having an effect on the frequency and intensity of earthquakes everywhere.
    Living at the northern end of the great water supplies for places like Las Vegas I’m wondering when their desire for an hedonistic oasis in the middle of a desert overrules my need to produce something useful – like food.

  8. Quit trying to farm in the desert. That might help solve the water problems. The mid-west can feed the country. It fed us for 100’s of years. Also quit trying to grow Bermuda lawns, and keep swimming pools and fountains full in the desert. That would be a tremendous help as well. SMH…
