This is becoming more and more like a Soviet-type of economy here: Commissars deciding who’s going to be granted waivers, commissars in the administration figuring out how they’re going to sprinkle around benefits.”

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.)

A Note To Readers

Republican Senator Ron Johnson represents not the American System of economics, but the British Free Trade system, and he demonstrated his Union Jack colors two days ago attacking the policy of President Trump as a “Soviet-type of economy.” The last section of our report this week provides us with the opportunity to once again explain the difference between the American System of Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt and the British System we fought a revolution against.

And this is the crucial fight if we are going to bring the nation back to one that builds things– you know, infrastructure, industry, nuclear power plants, explore the heavens and succeed making fusion a reality.

For the damn state of California is rapidly going to Hell. And the insanity of the water policy as demonstrated for years will make it a very dry Hell for everyone.

In This Week’s Report

We begin with “Yes, It Is Hot! And Drought Spreads and Wildfires Burn.” What is in this section should be clear from the title.

Next, the Oroville Dam Update has both a video and a construction update from the Department of Water Resources.

And then, let the drum roll begin: The first dams to be built in California in more than 40 years were just allocated the funds to begin construction. Of course, because of other restrictions they will not be built in, say, the eight years it took to build Grand Coulee Dam during the 1930s, it will take a least a decade.

And then comes the negative side. Remember, the Department of Water Resources wants to let flow 60 percent of the natural flow of three Central Valley Rivers? Well there goes all the water the new dams were supposed to hold. And also remember, that is called the idiocy of California water management.

Then follows two short sections. The first on Orange Country officials have given further approval to build the Poisiden desalination plant. And then, do you hear 2007-8 calling us back to the housing bubble collapse. Well, last month home prices in Southern California fell near 12% lower prices than one year ago.

The final regular section of the report is on nuclear power and features the new Russian plant that eats its own nuclear waste.

The Feature this week is mentioned in the first paragraph above. And includes excerpts from President Trump’s speeches last year on the American System of Hamilton, Lincoln and Roosevelt.
