Three multimillion-dollar homes in Southern California teeter precariously on the edge of a cliffside following a landslide over the weekend. The collapse occurred in Dana Point, Orange County, on Friday, and sent mud and debris sliding down the 150-feet chasm below. As of Sunday, no evacuations have been ordered, and engineering crews were assessing the structural integrity of the homes - the only three set on the cliffside. Residents of the affected properties have been advised to remain vigilant, and prepare for the looming possibility of relocation. The three affected homes are now largely left at the mercy of Mother Nature, though rains that recently inundated the region look to have past.

Stupid is as stupid does. California has had problems with landslides and homes sliding into the ocean for years. Even inland homes on cliffs have slid into the valley. I won't cry for their problems.

Those homes were built on what is mostly sand. There’s something in the Bible about that.

Just because you had the money doesn't mean you should. Not sure if there is ever a good time to build a house hanging off a cliff.

That’s a beautiful stretch of coast, I can certainly understand wanting to live there, I used to keep a sailboat in Dana Point harbor. But yeah, it’s unstable in many places, and even with geologists and engineers checking and signing off, it seems that ancient and previously unknown landslide areas will start moving given enough water. The thing is, losses due to land movement are typically not covered by insurance. AFAIK it’s always been this way, so those who choose to live there are taking the (big) risks.

Obvious financial fraud. Hanging over a cliff, there's no way they are worth $16 million. Call the Ag in NY, She has a new case.

Some of us used to spearfish in the waters off Dana Point. Followed up with some great barbecues. Before all the high end homes were constructed. Good times!!

People who can build five million dollar houses can generally afford to lose those houses without recompense. So, while it's a shame, it's also a write-off.

In March 2023, Robert Kennedy, Jr. announced on Twitter that the Biden Administration had still not provided his campaign with Secret Service protection. Robert says after several requests they had received no response after 88 days! This was shocking and unconscionable. Robert’s father Bobby Kennedy and uncle John F. Kennedy were both assassinated when he was a child. (X Photos) Since his first request, Robert Kennedy, Jr. has been denied Secret Service protection by the Biden administration at least three times. Even after an intruder broke into his home, Robert Kennedy, Jr. was denied Secret Service protection.

House Republicans are expected to vote on a historic resolution to finally impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tonight. This comes after three RINO lawmakers bailed Mayorkas out last week. The Gateway Pundit reported last week that Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), and Rep.

Nearly two dozen Senate Republicans thumbed their noses at colleges and constituents by joining with Democrats to pass a massive $95 billion foreign aid bill. Adding insult to injury, a final vote of 70-29 with 22 Republicans in favor pushed through the bill that pours American taxpayer money into aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan while doing nothing to secure the U.S. border. With more than half of Senate Republicans voting against it during the overnight session, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was clear he placed no value on their arguments. He led the minority of 22 GOP lawmakers to hold hands with Democrats and get the bill passed. even delivering

San Diego Border Patrol agents have faced an untenable flood of Chinese migrants sneaking over the border each day, raising fears over the growing influence of the hostile state in the US. Border sources claim that 269 Chinese migrants were apprehended by CBP officials in a single day this week, according to Fox News' Bill Melugin - with the number not including those who manage to cross undetected. Chinese nationals now make up the largest growing demographic of migrants crossing the porous US-Mexico border. And 2024 is already well on-track to easily exceed the staggering 37,000 Chinese migrants who were apprehended by the CBP in the 2023 fiscal year.

In the aftermath of the release of the Hur Report last Wednesday, it's been all downhill for Joe Biden. On Tuesday, it got even worse — but let's first back up to Super Bowl Sunday for a minute. While Biden refused for the second year in a row to sit for a traditional Super Bowl interview, he did find time to sit for a ridiculous, fact-challenged lecture about how "big consumer brands" are ripping off shoppers. As RedState's Jennifer Van Laar reported, Biden's shtick was hilarious in its dishonesty from the outset. America, here's Joe— babbling about "shrinkflation."

New York City could soon ban Tide PODS and other laundry-detergent packs under the latest “green” push from lawmakers. The “Pods are Plastic Bill,” introduced by City Councilman James Gennaro last week, would make it illegal to sell any pods and laundry sheets if they’re made with polyvinyl alcohol. Fines for selling the pods would start at $400, double for a second violation and top off at $1,200 for flouting the rules more than twice, if the bill becomes law. The bill would also require education and outreach to businesses on the ban for the first year. The law wouldn’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2026, if passed.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden rebuked former President Donald Trump on Tuesday for recently saying that he would encourage Russia to attack NATO nations that he thought had insufficiently spent on defense as part of the mutual protection agreement. "The former president has sent a dangerous, and shockingly, frankly, un-American signal to the world. Just a few days ago, Trump gave an invitation to Putin to invade some of our NATO allies," Biden said in remarks from the White House. Biden continued: "He said if an ally didn't spend enough money on defense, he would encourage Russia to, 'Do whatever the hell it wants.' Can you imagine?

A new study finds that human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are driving increased plant growth that’s greening the Earth, even in areas experiencing drought. The peer-reviewed study, which was published in the scientific journal Global Ecology and Conservation, finds that the phenomenon known as “global greening” is an indisputable fact. The rate of global greening has increased slightly, and drought has only slowed, but not stopped, the process. The study, which was done by Chinese and Australian researchers, attributes the greening to carbon dioxide fertilization as well as land management, such as irrigation.
