What is justifiable force when your home is invaded by a burglar?

California Assemblyman and Democrat Caucus Chair, Rick Chavez Zbur

What is justifiable force when your home is invaded by a burglar? California has what’s called a Castle Doctrine.

  • Fear of Death or Great Bodily Harm: Lethal force only permitted when serious physical injury or fatality is reasonably feared.
  • Proportional Response Only: No more force than appears minimally necessary to end the threat in the moment.
  • Unlawful Invasions Only: Intruders must have illegally entered or be attempting entry to justify lethal reactions.
  • But a California state rep I guess is tired of losing Democrat voters so he has a new bill. Here are some of the changes to the law this person wishes to make.
  • Homicide is also justifiable when committed by any person in any all of the following cases:
    (1) When resisting any attempt to murder any person, or to commit a felony, person or to do some great bodily injury upon any person.
    (2) When committed in defense of habitation, property, or person, against one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a felony, or against one who manifestly intends and endeavors, of a person, against one who manifestly intends or endeavors in a violent, riotous, or tumultuous manner, to enter the habitation of another for the purpose of offering violence to any person therein.
    (3) When committed in the lawful defense of such person, or of a spouse, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant of such person, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony or to do some great bodily injury, and imminent danger of such design being accomplished; but such person, or the person in whose behalf the defense was made, if he or she was the assailant or engaged in mutual combat, must really and in good faith have endeavored to decline any further struggle before the homicide was committed. to do some great bodily injury, and imminent danger of such design being accomplished.

    (4)When necessarily committed in attempting, by lawful ways and means, to apprehend any person for any felony committed, or in lawfully suppressing any riot, or in lawfully keeping and preserving the peace.

    California is currently a ‘stand your ground’ state, but that would change. The state rep shows his true colors.Kyle Rittenhouse syndrome.

California Coastal Commission must be abolished.

  • Ric Grenell, a longtime ally of President Trump, said “there will be conditions” to the coming aid, echoing previous warnings from both men in recent days.
  • Grenell said the California Coastal Commission “needs to absolutely be defunded.”

Initiated by voters and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in his first term, the 1976 Coastal Act was a response to unregulated shoreline development. Almost immediately after its passage, beachfront owners and interest groups across the state began pushing to amend or repeal sections of the law.

Grenell told the audience. “Everyone who’s involved knows that the California Coastal Commission is a disaster, and it needs to absolutely be defunded. And from just a way to think about government, we already have local government making these decisions.

Let’s get DOGE working on the state ballot rolls.

When it comes down to who can and cannot vote the states are not the best when it comes down to who’s eligible to vote. Especially states like California who send out ballots to everyone who’s listed.

I think DOGE would have authority since we have states running Federal Elections. This way the dead and illegals would be removed.

Looking at corruption. NY politician. The Governor.

Bill Hochul is the senior vice president of Delaware North, the company that’s operated concessions at Highmark Stadium since the 1990s.

Looking at corruption. NY politician. The Governor.

We’re hearing  about the allegations about the mayor of NYC, but has anyone brought up the governor? The lady who back in 2022 took hundreds of thousands in donations from a vendor who sold COVID tests for $637million. The cost from three other vendors? $212 million.

The price offered by a donor to the governor was over $12 per test, far steeper than what other companies were proposing for similar rapid antigen tests. Hochul’s administration had just approved a deal with another firm to buy 5 million tests for just $5 each.

$12.25
Spectrum Medical
$7.80

iHealth
$5.00
The CEO of the donor even had a fundraiser for the governor. Her response?
“I was not aware that this was a company that had been supportive of me,” Hochul said during a July 20 press briefing, referring to the campaign donations. “I don’t keep track of that. My team, they have no idea.”

Moving forward, how about The $850 million, taxpayer-funded deal to build a $1.4 billion stadium for the Buffalo Bills 

Her husband’s company stands to offer food services to the Bills for the next thirty years.

“They have operated concessions, premium dining and retail services at Highmark Stadium since 1992. The 71,870-seat venue is home of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills,” a summary on the firm’s website says.

“Their culinary team creates locally and regionally inspired fare for the stadium’s 66 concession outlets. Premium dining includes 123 suites and seven clubs offering in-seat service.

“They manages 19 retail outlets, including a year-round team store and 18 permanent and portable stands,” the firm says.

Out with the rubbish.

You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet. 75,000 down, how many millions to go?

Now it looks as if the buyouts are over. Now the fun begins. How many will be fired or laid off? I’m thinking it can go into the millions.We may see whole departments combined or done away with.

Now the folks who stayed will not get the generous buyouts but at best unemployment. Worst could be denial of benefits and possible loss of pension.

Musk Says Trump Has Agreed to Shut Down USAID

By Zachary Stieber for Epoch Times

Officials are shutting down a federal agency called the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) with President Donald Trump’s blessing, Elon Musk said on Feb. 3.

“He agreed we should shut it down,” Musk said during a live session on the social media platform X, after saying he had spoken with Trump about the agency.

“It became apparent that its not an apple with a worm it in,” Musk said. “What we have is just a ball of worms. You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing. It’s beyond repair.”

Musk added in a post on X: “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”
Musk runs the Department of Government Efficiency, which focuses on tightening government spending and improving efficiency. He donated to Trump’s campaign and has appeared with the president at various events.

USAID “has been run by a bunch of radical lunatics,” Trump told reporters on Sunday night. “We’re getting them out, and then we’ll make a decision.”

USAID and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

USAID staffers were also told Monday to stay out of the agency’s headquarters in Washington, according to a notice, which said the decision was made by agency leadership.

USAID’s website went offline over the weekend and hundreds of contractors have been laid off in recent days, a person familiar with the agency’s developments told The Epoch Times.
New leadership at USAID had previously placed some officials at the agency on leave because they allegedly tried to figure out how to circumvent Trump’s orders, according to a memorandum.
President John F. Kennedy, in an executive order in 1961, established USAID as an independent agency to provide foreign assistance. Its available budget has ballooned to north of $50 billion in recent years. It had over 10,000 workers, in addition to contractors, as of fiscal year 2023. The workers are stationed across dozens of countries around the world.
Trump signed an executive order within hours of being sworn in as president on Jan. 20 freezing foreign aid to allow for an analysis to see if existing commitments align with his agenda. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has since outlined some exceptions, including for life-saving assistance.

Rubio, in his first public comments on the matter, said on Thursday that USAID’s programs were being reviewed to eliminate any that are not in the U.S. national interest, but he said nothing about eliminating it as an agency.

Democrats have said they oppose dissolving USAID.
Shutting down the agency would be “illegal and against our national interests,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote on X.
Jacob Burg and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Back in 2015 you had two Journalists who recorded Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation (NAF), and biomedical research companies regarding the alleged trafficking of aborted baby body parts.

In 2017 Kamala charged them. Accusing them of violating a state recording law. After almost nine years, a settlement was reached. Below is that agreement.

Daleiden and Merritt in exchange for a “no contest” plea on a single video recording charge. The “no contest” plea will be entered into judgment as a misdemeanor in six to 12 months and then converted into a “not guilty” plea before being dismissed and expunged, according to CMP.

The so-called AG’s comment on the case.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the plea deal on Tuesday as a “felony conviction” and pitched it as a pro-abortion victory.

204 House Dems vote AGAINST bill to give lifesaving treatment to infants who survive abortions(!)

Just one Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar, voted for the bill.

By Elizabeth Elkind for Fox News

The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would penalize doctors who do not provide life-saving care to infants born alive after an abortion attempt.

All but one Democrat voted against the bill, which passed 217 to 204, with all Republicans in favor. One Democrat, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, voted “present.”

The bill directs health care practitioners to operate with the “same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence” for a baby born with a heartbeat after an abortion as during a normal birth. Doctors who run afoul of the rule would be fined or given up to five years behind bars.

House GOP leaders lauded the bill, with Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., telling Fox News Digital, “Requiring medical care for babies born alive after a failed abortion isn’t controversial, it’s common sense.”

“The fact that Democrats would rather support infanticide than vote in favor of this bill shows how extreme and out-of-touch their party has become,” Emmer said.

Democrats have argued that the bill is redundant, given existing laws against infanticide and murder, and could imperil the lives of women seeking late-term abortions due to medical emergencies while unfairly penalizing doctors.

“No one goes through pregnancy and all that comes with it…and then after eight or nine months of that is like ‘nah, I don’t want to do this,’” Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., said during debate on the bill, adding that late-term operations made up about 1% of abortions. “It is because of a serious fetal abnormality or the health of the mother.”

She said the bill was “not based on science or reality.”

(Yet Dims claim that the ACTUAL birth rate of “intersex” babies of 0.018% means that the mental cases that declare they are not their biological sex must be kowtowed to.  Sounds like their claim that we should “follow the science” about Covid-19 doesn’t it? – TPR )

Several Democrats who spoke out against the bill themselves went through emergency abortion procedures with a nonviable pregnancy.

Among them was Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez, D-N.M., who said the bill would allow women to “die on the operating table because doctors are scared of going to jail.”

(Q: If the doctors are “scared of going to jail” as this Dimwit stupidly suggests, how could women  “die on the operating table” ????? – TPR)

Republicans, meanwhile, argued the bill would stop babies from being “left to die in a closet, alone and discarded like medical waste,” as Rep. Michelle Fischbach, R-Minn., said during debate.

“These precious babies, fellow Americans, deserve protection because they are alive,” said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.

The vote comes after Democrats tanked the bill in the Senate earlier this week. The legislation failed to pass a procedural hurdle that needed 60 votes to allow for debate on its final passage.
