Rep. Posey: Biden's Border Crisis Violation of Oath, Dereliction of Duty

'...On his first day in office, President Biden went to work tearing down important border security measures put in place by President Trump, sending a strong message to the world that his administration would not enforce our border laws.

In doing so, Biden paved the way for an invasion of millions of illegal immigrants on our southern border and set the stage for this dangerous and unsustainable border crisis.

It’s a reckless endangerment of the American people. President Biden and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas must be held accountable for what they have done.

When I visited the border near Nogales, Arizona several years ago, I saw firsthand how dangerous it is. ...'

The Castle Doctrine | Exception to the duty to retreat before using deadly self-defense if a party is in YOUR home

'...restriction on self-defense is the rule to retreat. In jurisdictions that follow the rule to retreat, a party is not entitled to a defense of self-defense unless they first tried to mitigate the necessity of force by fleeing the situation, so long as retreating could be done safely. That said, in jurisdictions that follow the castle doctrine, this restriction has an exception for parties in their own home. A party in their own home does not have a duty to retreat and, therefore, is entitled to a defense of self-defense so long as the other requirements of the defense are met. The castle doctrine exists in both common law and Model Penal Code jurisdictions. [Last updated in July of 2022 by the Wex Definitions Team]...'

What is the difference between PSHB and FEHB?

'... mandates that the PSHBP begin coverage starting in January 2025. Though situated within the broader FEHB Program, the PSHBP is a separate health benefit, with separate carriers, plans, and enrollment prerequisites. ...Critically different from FEHB, the PSHBP requires verifying the Medicare enrollment of PSHBP enrollees – for example, if a postal annuitant who is required to be enrolled in Medicare Part B is not enrolled or disenrolls, they are no longer eligible to be enrolled in the PSHBP. To meet this requirement, OPM must routinely accept and integrate Medicare eligibility enrollment information and confirm PSHBP eligibility with a number of stakeholder agencies, exchanging data with the Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Labor Office of Workers Compensation (DOL), OPM Retirement Services (RS), and, of course, USPS. This integration is unique among employer-based health insurance programs.'
