Yeah, America has .. .. .. who knows how many archaic laws on the books throughout America. Probation Officer once thru me in jail for cohabiting with a woman, and threatened to violate my probation if I didn’t marry or leave her. Law enforcement uses these ridiculous laws to harass, threaten, imprison, etc. American citizens and ex-convicts. Is it no wonder that many areas are trying to get rid of Law Enforcement…
Squatter’s rights laws exist in all 50 states and have sparked a crisis across the nation. ‘Serial squatters’ are overtaking homes and helpless families booted out of their houses by crooks are desperately turning to vigilantes to reclaim their homes.
Blinken introduced a resolution in the UN for a cease fire in Gaza. Perfidy is thy name, US Biden govt.
Is it any wonder that other nations, even those marginally not against the US are turning away from us. We can not be trusted.
Good thing Biden improved the US relations with other countries in the world. Iran, China, Russia come to mind
Art, Fashion, and collaboration in occupied France. Wouldn’t recommend to everyone but given the knowledge of history most here have, I think you might like it. I do.
“Just one Republican. That’s all I’m asking for. Give me something bipartisan. This is my own little filibuster,” Manchin said. “If they can’t get one Republican, I vote for none. I’ve told [Democrats] that. I said, ‘I’m sick and tired of it, I can’t take it anymore.'”
On the TT video telling people how to illegally occupy a home – do that to my home while we might be on vacation and you will not like what happens. We are 77, I would claim self defense in my own home. Tired of this stuff.
Skepticism warranted, seems to me. Still, I’ll believe it when I see it, but this doesn’t appear to be a worthwhile gamble on the Bidenettes’ part, since Bibi is really good at this stuff, hence the Democrat loons are liable to come out on the losing end.
Re: Squatter’s rights
Karmi, SHIREHOME:
Definitely a thing.
I’ve been following the harrowing story of a cafe friend, who is trying to sell his beautiful house in Colorado. However, he took in a roommate several months back who turned out to be a psycho. The roommate lost his job, stopped paying rent, assaulted my friend, then shot up the house.
The police were called, but the guy remains in the house. For obvious reasons my friend and his wife won’t be in the house with him. Now the action has moved to the courts.
My friend believes the guy will eventually be dislodged legally. But geez, it seems like this should be a lot more straightforward and not so heavily weighted against landlords.
@ huxley – I totally agree with you.
We had friends who built a retirement home in Bozeman while still working in another state. On a trip up to Montana they found squatters, went to a lawyer who told them what it would cost to get the jerks out and their house back, and couldn’t afford it, so let their carefully designed building go.
She died a few years later of a stroke.
I realize that there is some need to protect LEGITIMATE tenants against capricious landlords, but this is insanely backwards and cruel legal theft.
There are a boat-load of stories on the internet now, including a Venezuelan “influencer” telling people to come on up to the USA and grab a house, and one where the squatters murdered the owner.
I include civil asset forfeiture and some eminent domain seizures in the same bucket as the tenant-landlord travesties.
If Dante were still writing, he would have to add new circles, not just for the thieves (they are legally NOT criminals!!), but for the legislators and judges who enable them.
Actually, there is a guy who got his home back by breaking in and changing the locks while the squatters were gone, which is what they did in the first place.
It really shouldn’t be difficult to remedy the laws to apply only to legitimate tenants facing improper evictions, and not to criminal trespassers, which is what squatting actually entails, including usually burglary and vandalism.
Only a career legislator can make laws this stupid.
After waiting a year, science documentary filmmaker for UKs Channel 4, Martin Durkin, has released a full-length update to his first effort advancing skepticism of man made global warming from 17 years ago, finding it more substantive and compelling than ever!
21 hours after premiere, I posted this reaction to YouTube:
So riveting from minute to minute, that I had to ignore my full bladder and keep my ears and eyes glued for the duration! Over a year ago, documentary filmmaker Martin Durkin said that the skeptic’s case against global warming has only strengthened over the last 20 years — and here, he proves it. HATS OFF! Salud! Cheers! Prosit! Skul!
The Wikipedia long-ass entry on Martin Durkin’s 2007 earlier effort, the documentary, “The Great Global Warming Swindle”, paints skeptics of man-made global warming as utterly, if irredeemably, wrong-headed, by dint of detailed objections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
Has Martin improved upon his original? Will anyone share viewing “Climate — The Movie” with orthodox-minded alarmist friends or family?
20 years ago or so, this guy I worked with had deadbeat renters. He hired a pest removal guy. Big black dude showed up with his suitcases saying he just rented the place. Deadbeats out the same day.
Nowadays, the music would have come up before Makarova finished and she would have been ushered off the stage.
George Abbott was in his mid-nineties when he directed Makarova in “On Your Toes,” and he was still working a decade later when he died at 107. A true “super-ager” and very different from our current leader. Abbott was also a newlywed when his revival of “On Your Toes” was playing — but, alas, he was also something of a cad:
“He had a long romance with actress Maureen Stapleton from 1968 to 1978. She was 43 and he was 81 when they began their affair, then ten years later Abbott left her for a younger woman. His third wife was Joy Valderrama. They were married from 1983 until his death in 1995.”
@ AesopFan:
You said “Only a career legislator can make laws this stupid.”
I have a theory that laws like these are deliberate in their actions.
Much like how Intuit (Turbo Tax) has lobbied for years against a government-run free tax filing system, I believe that the squatter laws are advocated for by the same corporate landlords who stand to benefit most.
A corporate landlord can absorb an entire market never breaking out of the red. Unfortunately, your friends couldn’t even afford the lawyer required to recover their own property.
There’s not a lot that the left can get me worked about, but this is one of those subjects. There’s just something infuriating about these loonies who advocate for squatters rights, and then the never-ending COVID rent payment reliefs. How blindingly stupid can one be to not see that the policies advocated for destroy everyday people (7 in 10 landlords are individuals who rent one or two properties) and play directly into the hands of the “evil” faceless corporate landlords?
There is now a new job category called “professional squatters” who are hired by property owners to break into a house with squatters and drive the squatters out.
I bought a foreclosure with a squatter. The bank had offered him $7,000 to vacate (called cash for keys), but he refused. It took me five months, but I did evict him, so it was/is possible. Law enforcement and judges in our community were not sympathetic back in 2019. It cost me $800 to do it myself (filing fees/registered mail/sheriff’s deputies to do the final eviction) versus $2,000+fees to have hired a lawyer.
During that time there was no electricity or water in the house.
