Governor Jerry Brown has appealed to President Donald Trump for $160 million in emergency aid because of the Oroville Dam crisis.\u00a0 So far the response has been silence.<\/p>\n

Since Trump has been inaugurated Democrats have done everything possible to obstruct him. Governor Jerry Brown has been very vocal about this. Perhaps Tom Donnelly said it best:<\/p>\n

California \u201chas been so busy defying President Donald Trump in order to protect illegal aliens from deportation that it forgot to do the things government is supposed to do, like maintain infrastructure. Governor Brown<\/u><\/a> is now going hat-in-hand to beg the Trump administration for emergency funds.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time California is begging Trump for money, it has plenty of money to pay huge sums to Eric Holder to defy the Trump administration in every way possible.\u00a0 What goes around comes around.\u00a0 . :<\/p>\n

California Attorney General Becerra \u201cis expected to be instrumental in battling with the Trump White House over any attempt to enforce stringent measures aimed at immigrants.\u00a0 Mr. Brown has made clear that he intends to challenge the administration on global warming and that his attorney general will be a key to that battle.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now it turns out California had a lot more to fear from the incompetence of Governor Brown than from anything Trump has or will do.\u00a0 Trump has a lot of reason to just say no.\u00a0 He could point out, correctly, that if California would use the funds it has to stop resisting him and perhaps spent a couple of bucks on things that really matter, like fixing the Oroville Dam it wouldn\u2019t need a federal handout.\u00a0 Last night on his show Tucker Carlson ended his show by pointing out that if Governor Brown had not wasted billions on an obsolete train to nowhere, he could have easily fixed the Oroville Dam.\u00a0 The state has known about this problem for years.\u00a0 This is a classic example of \u201cpoor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I would love to listen in on the following phone call from President Donald Trump to Governor Jerry Brown.\u00a0 \u201cHi Governor, sorry for the delay, but we are little backed up here because Democrats refused to approve my cabinet. In addition, I have been consulting with my team on how I can protect the country in spite of the daily obstruction by California. As you know, we have to allocate money to fight California on global warming and deporting criminal illegal aliens. I\u2019m sorry, but right now I just can\u2019t, in good conscience, send money to California so that you can use your resources to build worthless trains, establish a sanctuary state and defy the federal government in every way possible.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTell you what Jerry, call me back when you are more responsible with the money you already have before you beg me for assistance.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtually all of the problems facing California because of this winter weather were preventable.\u00a0 Liberal Democrats fought Governor Schwarzenegger when he pushed to build new dams. Here is what Schwarzenegger was saying in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis drought is an urgent reminder of the immediate need to upgrade California\u2019s water infrastructure,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile we cannot control Mother Nature, what we can control is to prepare ourselves for future dry years.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now California is begging the federal government it wants to defy at every opportunity for a massive handout to fix problems created by its own incompetence.\u00a0 Good luck with that.<\/p>\n
