Three multimillion-dollar homes teetering on the edge of a cliff in Southern California have been deemed safe to live in — despite a landslide taking out a large part of the cliff from underneath them. Historic storms that inundated the Golden State earlier this month left the Dana Point mansions in precarious positions and at risk of falling into the Pacific Ocean. According to records, the priciest home in the coastline complex is a $15.9 million, four-bedroom property registered to a local radiologist, 82-year-old Lewis Bruggeman.

DTA: While experts claimed the Dana Point cliffside properties are currently safe to live in, further work will need to be carried out for them to withstand future storms. “That’s going to need major, major work to stabilize that property,” Kyle Tourjé, executive vice president of Alpha Structural, a Los Angeles engineering firm, told the Washington Post.

Headline out of California..."82 year old living on a cliff house that was sliding into the ocean was killed today as his house slid into the ocean." Neighbors were shocked at his sudden demise saying that the news came out of nowhere and sometimes you just never know. The neighbors further stated his house was sturdy and he probably died of old age.

I was reading in Luke yesterday and ran across this... Luke 6:48-49 "6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it [b]fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Of course, Jesus was talking about a metaphorical house of faith....but this guy has literally built his house on a dirt cliff, with the ocean beating against it below.

Now that the house is closer to the ocean, do you think it has increased in value? What are the odds of the homeowner's insurance being cancelled?

If I was in my 80s and lived in a $16 million mansion that might someday fall off a cliff I would probably refuse to move too.

Michelle Obama has topped Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton in a poll of who Democrats believe could replace 81-year-old Joe Biden on the ticket if he drops out.

The 60-year-old has said multiple times she isn't interested in running for office and has admitted she is 'terrified' of the outcome of this year's election.But she still hasn't addressed recent theories that her name could be on the Democratic ticket if Biden were to leave the race.

Tulsi Gabbard’s recent takedowns of the Democrat Party sounds well and good. But what is she really up to? This is a woman who ran for President as a Democrat; she has pushed for “assault weapons” bans, universal basic income, Medicare for all, free college tuition, and abortion with very few limits. Tulsi Gabbard even supported a federal $15 minimum wage. This is not a woman we want anywhere near President Trump of the Office of the Vice Presidency. (Video) Tulsi Gabbard is a Trojan Horse. She may be an unwitting Trojan Horse, but still a Trojan Horse at that.

Anchor Kristen Welker said, “There are some pretty stark numbers you are facing. Seventy-six percent of voters say they have real concerns about President Biden’s ability to serve a second term. Do you think it is responsible for Democrats to put him at the top of the ticket given these concerns?” Newsom said, “I mean, what he’s done in three years, it’s been a masterclass. Close to 15 million jobs, that’s eight times more than the last three Republican presidents combined.

It doesn’t work. So, we have to reduce emissions from the food system.” What a dilemma. If we feed people, we will continue to warm the planet. If we continue to warm the planet, billions will die in 100 years from global warming because of the food we are eating now.

Mary Poppins has had its age rating lifted from U to PG because it contains 'discriminatory language' - but the word in question is so obscure you may have never noticed it. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) now considers the 1964 tale of Julie Andrews' magical nanny to be not suitable for children to watch alone, despite the film enchanting generations of youngsters. The reclassification is due to the use of the word Hottentots. The dated term was historically used by Europeans to refer to the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but is now regarded as racially offensive.

Pima County, Arizona, and the city of Tucson are scrambling as Biden’s border crisis continues to wreak havoc on American border states. Tucson officials are engaging in a frenzied search for a place to house illegal immigrants as federal funding comes to an end. And some are suggesting that the illegal border crossers should be bused to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in south Tucson. Officials are desperately making plans ahead of the expected wave of illegal aliens likely to begin being dropped off at the end of March by Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, according to AZMirror.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom thinks President Joe Biden should absolutely debate Donald Trump in the 2024 general election campaign. Biden has not yet committed to debate Trump this election cycle after the two went head-to-head multiple times in 2020. But Newsom, a top surrogate for Biden, suggested that the president is prepared to go against his predecessor and that suggestions he won't is 'pure projection.' Trump refused to participate in the primary debate this cycle because he claimed he was running as an incumbent and shouldn't have to go up against the B team.

A longtime Republican National Committee member, Henry Barbour, has introduced two resolutions for consideration by the RNC board that the Trump campaign opposes as "absurd." The first proposal would enforce the RNC by-laws that forbid the national committee from taking sides in a primary. The proposed resolution would explicitly prevent the RNC from coordinating with a campaign until one candidate has won 1215 delegates, which is the number needed for the nomination. "The Republican National Committee must serve as a neutral player in primaries," the proposal reads, pointing to RNC Rule 11. That rule states the national party shall not "contribute money or in-kind aid to any
