California Governor Newsom and Kamala Trespass For A Photo-Op

Daily Wire

On Tuesday, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) joined the governor of her home state, Gavin Newsom, to create a photo-op to push their climate change agenda. The photo was taken on the property of an Auberry, California, family. The homeowner’s grown children said they had not been allowed to visit their home as it was under an evacuation order and added that Harris and Newsom had not gotten permission to be on their property when they took the photos.

    Kamala Harris sports the latest Timberland Fall wear while pointing out how she would better manage forest clearings.

    …Newsome wears brown work togs in color coordination with his many shit stains while he determinedly holds onto his ass for fear someone will hand it to him.

  2. She got her new boots and (probably) jacket just for this photo-opp. Her string of pearls is out of place when “roughing it” in a burnt out no-mans land. Gov. Nuisance is likely wearing brand new earth-toned work duds as well.

    This is as phony as Ketchup John Kerry photo-opping himself on a hunting trip just before the 2004 election.

  3. …although to be fair, any property comes under control of Government authorities, usually local, when an emergency such asa fire or crime happens, and that control is not relinquished until the emergency is declared over by that authority. This is necessary during an active fire because it would be highly impractical to ask a homeowner if you can go in this or that room while fighting a fire, or find and ask ALL these homeowners if you can access their homes during a widespread fire, and typically that authority is not ceded until the controlling agency is reasonably certain there are no hot spots, no possible rekindles, the area is safe to enter, AND the investigation is done.

    I think it’s safe to say this area does not meet that criteria.

    You could argue about Nusiance and Ho being allowed in as they are not directly related to the response, but that would again be at the discretion of the local authority currently in control, be that the Fire Chief, Mayor, County Commissioner, whatever, and they are NOT likely to deny a Governor access to a statewide emergency scene where he DOES have a legitimate gubernatorial interest, and ALL those jobs are political so NONE of them would refuse Willy Brown’s self-portable blow-up doll if they know what’s good for them.

    …so, annoying and political though it is, you need to pick your battles, and this isn’t a winnable one.

    Mock them and move on.

  4. Too bad the property owner wasn’t around to shoot their asses for trespassing.
    (but then the property owner would have to do an EnvironMENTAL Impact Statement for the pollution)

    That’s called “usurpation.” I don’t remember that from the Constitution.
    It is an arrogation by a grasping government.

    “Emergency” is the legal fiction that allowed the National Socialists to outlaw all other political parties and suspend the “rule of law” until the “emergency” was over (which it never was).

    The government has no authority – even in your better interest.
    They DO have the power, though, and will kill to maintain it.

    “That’s called “usurpation.” I don’t remember that from the Constitution.
    It is an arrogation by a grasping government.”

    …the Constitution speaks to Federal powers and interactions between the States, it does not speak to state and local powers specifically, as it spells out in the 10th amendment, to wit;

    “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    That won’t be Bill Barr fighting your fires in investigating your stolen lawn ornaments. That will be a local agency, and the enabling legislation varies by locality, and can be confusing even between agencies as you can see here.

    …and yes, you can argue that local governments can’t exceed the Constitutional limits on the Federal one, but at the end of the day the law is whatever the courts say it is.

    And no court is going to prevent local agencies from controlling scenes of local emergencies.

    There’s reasons for that, some of which I’ve stated above, but ultimately you don’t have a right to let your property burn next to my property and refuse fire services because, the Constitution, as YOUR burning property directly affects MINE.

    Your rights stop where someone else’s begin. And that’s why these state and local laws exist.

    There’s other things involved like implied consent (what if you’re not home and your house is burning) and the possibility that YOU are committing a crime (what if you’re burning your house down because the mortgage company is going to foreclose or you want to cover up your wife’s murder), so, no, your property rights are not absolute, especially when it comes to Eminent Domain too, but all this is pretty far afield and each thing would take days on its own to discuss, and C’mon,its just a blog, not something REAL consequential like a talk show…

    …besides, I don’t fundamentally disagree with you as a matter of law. I like rights, too.

    It’s just that I lived the reality of the situation too long to believe it is EVER that absolute, or even COULD be…
