Hundreds of millions of gallons of waste has spilled into the Potomac River causing extreme levels of bacteria. On January 19th, crews noticed unusual activity in security cameras monitoring an odor control facility along the C&O Canal. Upon inspection, they discovered the break. A failure in a section of a 72-inch sewer pipe, known as the Potomac Interceptor, resulted in the release of hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the river. It’s considered the largest spill of wastewater in U.S. history. As of February 10, 243 million gallons have entered the river. Progress, which could take months, slowed on Sunday due to significant use during the Super Bowl. DC Water CEO David Gadis called the spill “deeply troubling.” An analysis of the water by the University of Maryland (UMD) and the Riverkeepers found "high levels of fecal-related bacteria and disease-causing pathogens" - which they say raise "urgent public health concerns." The only comparable sewage spill occurred in 2017 along the U.S.-Mexico border, when roughly 230 million gallons of wastewater were released. NOTE: It still smells horrible.

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. 2) Maryland agencies and DC Water presented updates on the cleanup during a two-hour legislative hearing. Trump’s EPA was invited. They refused to attend. 3) Maryland officials were onsite within hours of the leak to help coordinate the response and protect the public. We will continue to partner with regional leaders.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is taking over recovery efforts after Democrat-led DC and Maryland allowed over 1 BILLION gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River, running through DC There’s been practically NO OUTRAGE from the environmentalists, despite this being one of the largest raw sewage spills in U.S. history, endangering millions of people and animals. Democrats defunded FEMA, so there are now limited resources they can respond with, but they’re going to give it what they have. Despicable.

At the welding site of the HDPP (High Density Polyethelene Pipe) to be used in the world’s first-ever upcoming “Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion” (OTEC) plant at #Kavaratti #Lakshadweep. The pipe is uniquely structured to transport cold water at less than 8 degree Centigrade from more than 1,000 meter sea depth for convergence with warm sea water at the surface to harness the ocean’s natural thermal gradient to generate clean energy while simultaneously produce potable water for drinking.

There it is: The 22 billion gallons of raw sewage flowing into San Diego, California from Mexico started in 2020 and is BECAUSE OF GAVIN NEWSOM “Why has the sewage crisis in San Diego gotten worse in the past 5 years? There are 2 main reasons that have caused 22 billion gallons of sewage to flow into the United states annually since 2020 - First is the 2020 Gavin Newsom SB507 bill, which decommissioned pumps and lift stations and allowed sewage to flow into the United States via the Tijuana river valley - The second is a pipe break by Mexico in August 2022 from their viaduct toll road project. This led to Mexico sewage instead being pumped 10 miles south to free flowing into the United States by the millions of gallons daily. This has led to over a thousand plus days of beach closures, our communities being exposed daily to harmful chemicals and toxins, no access to public lands, and no answers from the government” Recent reports from The Tijuana River sewage crisis confirm BILLIONS OF GALLONS of sewage has flowed annually in recent years Since 2018, estimates exceed 100 billion gallons of raw/untreated wastewater laden with sewage and toxins And it’s all because of Gavin Newsom Read that again

When you flush, water flows down and drags air inside the pipe. Bubbles form, and the flow becomes unstable. This creates a partial vacuum in the system. That vacuum starts pulling air from the toilet itself. That’s why you hear that “glup” sound and even get gas backflow. Now, when the system has proper venting, everything changes. Air enters through the vent pipe and balances the pressure. Flow becomes smooth, with no bubbles or interruptions. No vacuum, no suction, and proper drainage. That small pipe is what prevents the entire problem.

As part of MAHA, Robert F. Kennedy Jr wants to eliminate fluoride from U.S. drinking water. Fluoride has been in US drinking water since the 1960s, mainly to prevent tooth decay. Is this a good or bad idea? Let's look at the science. 🧵

BREAKING: President Trump announces he has directed federal authorities to IMMEDIATELY provide full management, direction, and coordination to protect the Potomac River after nearly 250M gallons of raw sewage were dumped into it from a collapsed sewer line. Trump wrote on Truth Social: “There is a massive Ecological Disaster unfolding in the Potomac River as a result of the Gross Mismanagement of Local Democrat Leaders, particularly, Governor Wes Moore, of Maryland. A sewer line breach in Maryland has caused millions of gallons of raw sewage to be dumped directly into the Potomac River, a result of incompetent Local and State Management of Essential Waste Management Systems. This is the same Governor who cannot rebuild a Bridge. It is clear Local Authorities cannot adequately handle this calamity.” “Therefore, I am directing Federal Authorities to immediately provide all necessary Management, Direction, and Coordination to protect the Potomac, the Water Supply in the Capital Region, and our treasured National Resources in our Nation’s Capital City. While State and Local Authorities have failed to request needed Emergency Help, I cannot allow incompetent Local “Leadership” to turn the River in the Heart of Washington into a Disaster Zone. As we saw in the Palisades, the Democrat War on Merit has real consequences.” “The Federal Government has no choice, but to step in. FEMA, which is currently being defunded by the Democrats, will play a key role in coordinating the response. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”

Taiwan and Cuba dealt very differently with the pressure exerted by major superpowers. Taiwan has been excluded from the UN since 1971 with almost no formal allies left because of China, yet the world is still reliant on it for the production of advanced computer chips. Its GDP per capita is over $41,000. Cuba on the other hand has been under a US trade embargo since 1962, over 1.7 million people have fled the island, and it’s still blaming the US for yet another 5% decline in its economy and 70% inflation. The difference is the market. Systems fail because of the choices made under the imposed pressure, not the pressure itself.

🚨 SAN DIEGO BEACHES ARE FILLED WITH RAW HUMAN POOP — AND LOCALS ARE FREAKING OUT Horrifying footage from San Diego beaches is going viral. The water is so contaminated with raw human sewage that locals can’t even touch it without getting sick. One surfer said she hasn’t been able to go in the water at certain beaches since 2021 because of the feces and toxins. The sewage is flowing from Mexico through what’s been nicknamed the “Caca River” and straight into the Pacific Ocean. This is happening in San Diego County, an area with a $266 billion GDP. Their current solution? Handing out 200 air purifiers to residents while they wait for possible federal funding. How is one of the richest counties in America okay with raw human sewage flowing into their ocean for years while they hand out air purifiers as the solution?

NEW: 8-year-old girl drowns after getting sucked into a 1ft-wide pipe in a pool at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Houston, Texas. The girl was reported missing after her parents could not find her. Search and recovery organization Equusearch arrived and was dumbfounded about the girl's disappearance. The Houston Fire Department then inspected multiple pipes in the pool and couldn't find anything. The officers on the scene then went into the hotel and reviewed camera footage, which showed the girl submerging under the water but never resurfacing. They then drained the pool and stuck a pole with a camera on the end about 20 feet down a pipe in the pool where they found the girl. Her hand was the first thing that appeared "wedged" deep inside the pipe. According to investigators, the pipe malfunctioned and instead of pumping water out, it was sucking it in. "Many of us had to wipe tears from our eyes," said Equusearch founder Tim Miller. "I never, ever thought in a million years it was going to end up as bad as it ended up...there is a grieving family out there, and it is going to be a long, painful healing process over this one."
