You're Fired! 
                by Rod Bartchy 
                "California
                wildfires are being magnified & made so much
                worse by the bad environmental laws which arent
                allowing massive amount of readily available
                water to be properly utilized. It is being
                diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree
                clear to stop fire spreading!" 
                This recent
                POTUS tweet has confirmed what many have
                suspected.  The California wildfires are
                caused by trees!  
                This
                conclusion comes about after several months of
                research by off-the-grid wilderness dwellers
                living in remote corners of western states. 
                Often operating at great personal risk, these
                hardy patriots have infiltrated all of the
                national forests not yet heroically felled by
                logging interests.    
                Camouflaged as
                rocks, abandoned vehicles or marijuana fields,
                they have compiled a devastating dossier of
                conspiracy on the part of the trees we have long
                trusted for shade and autumn colors. 
                In short there
                is a plot amongst these arboreal agitators to
                migrate towards nascent fires, hurl themselves
                into the blaze, and expand the conflagrations.  
                Their ultimate objective remains unclear. 
                Some in the POTUS inner circle suspect it is a
                plot by the Mueller investigative team to
                distract the President from his primary job of
                flooding social media with cretinous tweets. 
                 
                POTUS has
                provided us with further insight into the
                situation in California, decrying the waste of
                water which treasonously flows to the sea,
                instead of rising up to douse the blazes.   
                Known by
                environmentalists as rivers, these
                flows have apparently been a fixture of the state
                for many years.   Lobbying by
                supporters of these rivers, and their cohorts,
                streams, creeks and rivulets, has resulted in a
                wild west of waterfalls, estuaries and rapids
                that are indifferent to tariffs, White House
                invitations, or tax cuts. 
                The
                administration finds this situation intolerable. 
                Officials are also alarmed by the presence of the
                Potomac not far from the White House, and are now
                preparing a twitter salvo against what they have
                long suspected is a Democrat river. 
                But all is not
                lost!  Strategists close to POTUS plan to
                actively enlist the aid of the Colorado river. 
                Sourced in the Rockies, this mighty torrent runs
                through the American Southwest, carving the Grand
                Canyon (soon to be renamed The Fantastic
                Huge Great Canyon by presidential edict),
                before petering out from overuse more than 70
                miles from its ancestral outfall in the Gulf of
                California. 
                Administration
                experts skilled in watering down gun control and
                emissions control legislation are now diving in
                to solve Californias water crisis.  
                Preliminary plans include a vast network of
                pipelines and sprinkler systems extending well
                into national forests, private country clubs, and
                ten-acre estates. 
                This would all
                be financed by a tax on trees which would be
                required to obtain ID cards and file tax returns.
                 
                The leafy
                leviathans are unlikely to take this lying down. 
                 
                Theyve
                been here a long time.  Theyve
                outlasted volcanoes, glaciers, and asteroid
                strikes.   Besides, if they get ID
                cards and file tax returns, they can vote. 
                They probably have their own ideas of what Making
                America Great again means.   
                And it might
                not include people.
