Trump Commits Impeachable Offense

https://plus.google.com/100212344229354267307/posts/jDoTKNyP8Wi

    Trump probably has committed many Impeachable Offenses, but he has also covered up that with fake news, and tweets covering his butt by distractions, misdirection and out and out bluster.

    This time, it wasn’t for firing James Comey from his job as FBI Director, but a disregard of intelligence information he handed over to…

My thoughts: Women’s issues

    I know about women’s issues. I’ve been reading about them, today. I knew that women didn’t get the same salary as men, all over. Nobody paid women over men. I knew, but not as much, that there were fewer women in manage-ment than men, but I didn’t know it was their problem. It is. I didn’t know that the big argument that is over abortion was so hotly outspoken and contested. I had answers that may have been old-fashioned and out of date. I think they are. Looking at blogs on Tumblr show there are many diverse issues out there, but nobody covers them all.

    We (yes, men too) need a semi-central point to relay all this from, a single authority to stand up and deliver the speech, to be the tipping point for answers that are hopefully forthcoming, and be a place where new ideas can flow, to and from. If you think this is only a rallying cry for Hillary, it could be,  I agree to that, but so much more is needed. 

    Once again, on Tumblr under “Women’s issues” there are a plethora of stories on the good and the bad that is happening around us today. It is a game changer, and if you put yourself in the catseat and open up to the idea that these things need attention. Just like the current subject of gun control is there, so this should be. Half of the population is covered under the Constitution, equal rights. Like Civil Rights that covers everybody, this subject is related to everybody, everybody is affected and can affect this. Don’t turn away now.

Oroville Dam and the California Drought

The spillway is to increase runoff to 45,000 CFS starting Wednesday, where it previously was at 15,000 CFS.

Oroville Dam was in the news in February, when increased rains produced a problem with water release. The regular spillway removes dam water overages. When the dam water reaches it’s maximum height, at 960’, the highest dam in America begins using the emergency spillway.

Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway went into use February. The news found the emergency spillway seemed insufficient and an evacuation was called by DWR. 180,000 were evacuated, and crowded into churches, Evacuation Centers, and friends homes outside the dams area. It was chaos. Some had only an hour’s notice. Some were diverted after evacuating. They all got out. After about a week, officials said it was safe to go back, and residents returned to their homes.

The Oroville Dam evacuation of February proved to be a harbinger of what was possible after the 5 year California drought. Climate Change caused heavy rains to appear.

It also damaged the spillway. A lot. The Oroville Dam Spillway was broken in half. Water removal from the spillway had increased to 100,000 CFS, but was now decreased, eventually to zero, while DWR officials checked to see just how bad it was, up close. It was found that ‘it needed fixin’, and Governor Brown went to Washington to ask for funds. That happened and California was going to get it’s dam spillway repaired.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were expected for the repair. Those contracts were appointed, and spillway reconstruction was begun in April 2017. Oroville is to expect completed reconstruction of the spillway by November.
