Reporter: “Were you aware that there was no water there?” Fire Chief Crowley; “No, we weren’t aware of that.”
A rather troubling headline from the New York Post published on 14 Jan, 2025, in regard to the Santa Ynez Reservoir (emphasis mine);
Drained LA reservoir in worst fire-ravaged area has repeatedly needed repairs, sat empty since Feb. 2024: report
Sooo, for the past 11-and-a-half months, a fairly large and important body of water has literally disappeared… and no one noticed?
Really?? YGBFKM.
Anyone stupid enough to buy off on that is possibly the same gullible type of fool who still believes Hunter Biden’s laptop is a Russian intel op.
But digging just a bit deeper into the NY Post article, you’ll never believe why this particular reservoir was shut down, then emptied;
The supply system, operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), had been sitting empty since February 2024 due to pending repairs to its floating cover.
Time for the Inland Empire to get statehood.
But the cover, which is designed to keep the water free of contaminants, also required repairs just two years earlier, according to regulatory filings obtained by the Wall Street Journal.
I have just three rhetorical questions;
How hard is it to fold up this floating cover, move it to a large, flat area, then make the repairs?
What kind of “contaminants”? Things like birdshit? I really don’t care if there’s infinitesimally small amount seagull feces in the water that’s putting out a runaway wildfire.
When was the last time you saw a cover on a reservoir?
With all that said, please take a gander at a couple of screenshots of the northwest corner of the greater Los Angeles County area.
Allow me to preface that anyone who’s as much as flown over California realizes that firebreaks are quite the common sight. The vast majority of those same firebreaks are also open to the general public as recreational hiking trails.

Not only has the Steele Dossier (and all the “Russia, Russia, Russia” baggage goes with it) been debunked. The infamous Laptop from Hell has definitively been proven to be the property of Hunter Biden, not Vladimir Putin.
Of course, the chainsaw worked for him. But not everyone can be Bruce Campbell.
Nonetheless, the Democrats are clinging to the Russia collusion accusation like a drowning man would grasp at a running chainsaw.
I’d just like to remind everyone that during the Trump Administration, not a single inch of a differing nation has fallen to Putin’s Russia.
However, it was during the presidency of G.W. Bush that the Moscow government invaded Georgia with impunity.
Never mind that Dubya did everything short of fellatio to get assurances from the Georgian government that they would contribute their troops to assist the Americans during our invasion of Iraq.
Russia invades Georgia, 2008.
When it came time for America to back up our Georgian allies, Bush quickly considered the Tblisi government as personas non gratia.
It was then in 2014 that Putin made a move on the Ukrainian territory of Crimea. The Kiev government begged Washington for ANYTHING to fight off the Russians.
Obama obliged. Blankets and MREs were airlifted to Ukraine to throw against the Russian hordes.
Keep in mind that the Crimea is roughly the same size as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Vegetarian Ratatouille? The epitome of Obama machismo.
So how would I feel if Russia invaded Massachusetts? Probably shrug and not give a damn. After all, would anything actually change?
Then during the winter of 2022, troops of the Russian Federation again invaded Ukraine… this time from the East.
Huge swaths of what were Ukranian territory is now under the Russian tricolor.
Who was in the White House then? Ahh, that’s right. Joe Biden and his brainless sidekick, Kamala Harris.
Slow Joe and the Bargain Bin Fidel Castro. Notice the power handshake?
So, as the old joke goes, why doesn’t Volodymyr Zelensky have a dog? ‘Cause Joe Biden’s already his bitch.
As I noted already, not a single grain of soil of any nation fell to Russia during the four-years of President Donald J. Trump.
Just let that sink in for the next time a Democrat wails of Trump being a Russian puppet.
One dozen cops and soldiers watch as one bag is searched. 
Other than Keith Richards have a pact with Satan, I really don’t have a problem with this particular band…
Witches for Kamala…
