I support Rills Arizona depopulation effort when it comes to illegals. Just look at all of the massive food stamps fraud in Arizona for evidence of the large numbers of illegals.


Bringing in millions of illegals during a pandemic not only defied common sense, it should be looked at as something more sinister. The same people that wanted Americans to stay home invited in millions of unvetted people during a crisis. They didn’t care about housing shortages, hospital shortages, water shortages, crime, disease spread, etc.

Welp. Looks like Martz knows more about extreme weather than rilla.



I would hope a meteorologist knows more about weather than I do.

I don't think about "global warming", ever. I do think about water shortages and the impacts those will have. I understand that we will have rain storms in the future that will help. but I also know we have more people/companies using water than ever before, and that it's going to be difficult in some areas. Those times are coming quickly, for people in the southwest.

Just as people on the left had no common sense when it came to bringing in millions during the pandemic, some people on the right seem to have little common sense about water, and what shortages can lead to. No changes are needed, we just need to hope for rain.

As an old boss once told me, hope is not a plan.

Don’t worry, adding more data centers and solar farms is the answer. Arizona is going to have 10 million people, woohoo!!


The issue in the Colorado River Basin is that the snow melt in 2026 is creating 14MAF of water and 70-80% goes to agriculture based on historical usage. California exports 30-50% of water intensive alfalfa grown in the Imperial Valley to China and overseas. Rates they pay are cheap for the resource they are using, they always have been, otherwise how could they pay the shipping to China and still make money? The lakes are down because the bureaucrats can't say no and deplete the resevoirs.

Arizona population is not the problem.

Rilla- this is a joke. Take no offense. I saw this (warning NSFW) Sam Kinison post talking about people in the desert and I thought this might be how Rill feels about Arizona/Southwest population and water.

I agree with you on most of what you say about this topic. But the growing population is absolutely part of the problem. As Gregory Bovino said in the post I shared earlier "Our finite water supply and increased usage can’t handle it. The Southwest’s population has exploded over the last 30 years in an already dry region, and we’re not making more water."

And yes, I know Arizona conserves water better than it did 50-100 years ago, but the usage still outpaces the supply, significantly. With a much larger population, the impact is felt further.

QAnon shaman going to post this same video into the void every few weeks until he dies. What a hero!

A true patriot. Bill DeBlasio and others conned people like you into taking the death jab. He was lying through his teeth the whole time, but so many Americans fell for it. It was blatant fear/propaganda campaign to take care of the weak and needy.

It absolutely needs to be remembered and re-aired constantly; else people will fall for the same tricks and lies as you did. Never forget Icky! Instead of being mad at the Patriots keeping this issue on the front burner, you should be mad at DeBlasio and friends for forcing this crap into so many through fear, bribery, and coercion.

If they have two homes and only spend 5 months a year in Florida, they would not be Florida residents.
Let's take it a step further, NY would audit Limbaugh for any time spent in NY. He eventually sold his NY condo, refused to do any radio show even one-time in NY, and would not overnight in NY such was their thirst for his money. Yet, they were downright cheerful when he left NY in 1999. They said good riddance. What can you say, braindead liberals celebrating their big-time taxpayers fleeing to intelligently run states.

RE: Beef prices. Drought is the primary driver of the smaller herd but what drought?

1) Beef raised for consumption is primarily in the great plains states down to Texas. In round numbers, 15-20% comes from the Colorado river basin and about the same from East of the Mississippi. The rest is from Oklahoma, Texas, etc.
2) Beef raised for consumption depends heavily on pasture land for grazing. When the cattle mature to close to market levels, they usually ship them to feed lots where they are fattened up on corn/etc.
3) The drought causing the big price increases is in Oklahoma and Texas affecting their pasture land, but it also affects grazing land in the Colorado River basin -- cattle need grass.

So when we gripe about beef prices, first pray for rain on the great plains. (and then for Colorado ranchers , as long as they don't convert their ranches to golf courses.;))

ps. in the 1930's the Great Plains experienced a significant drought nicknamed the dust bowl. It lasted about 8 years and really only ended once the rains returned. Weather goes to extremes, even without global warming.
Number ONE REASON for beef pricing hikes;
1. 5 meat packers control the beef, chicken, pork pricing ! They set the market !
2. Majority Foreign control of American meat packing companies.

Obama’s pants are on fire. His nose is longer than a telephone wire.



Edit: For the intellectually challenged here, my phrasing is essentially the chorus of a song from the mid-60’s called “Liar, Liar” .
