  • It is TIME to expose the QTard Phenomena.
    Now you know why most of us affectionately refer to Q followers as QTards. It amazes me that they still have so many devoted followers, when there was no "Plan" to begin with. It was nothing more than a psyop to placate millions of disgruntled Trump supporters who the radical left feared would oust them violently. The same can be said of the X-22 Report. Both are and always were psyops sponsored by the left.

    Via The Right Side with Doug Billings:
    Now that we’re basking in the glow of President Trump’s victory… the most significant political comeback in the history of Earth…
    It’s time to put away, once-and-for-all, the ridiculous theories, nonsense and grifters who put the most significant BS and nonsense forward:

    1. Devolution. I called it ridiculous and fiction when it was first put forth by Patel Patriot. Reporting that Trump would return to the presidency before 2024. He scored lots of money from a lot of people on that BS.

    2. Anything from “Q.”
    It’s fantasy of the wildest proportions.
    Many of the people who got suckered into this fantasy are good-intending Patriots. But many people (Matrix, X22, O’Savin, etc.) made a living grifting from it and many items on this list.
    Shameful.

    3. “The military is running the country.”
    An abject lie and another wave of clickbait. Derek Johnson is one of the members of the hierarchy of Kooks. Nothing he has put forth on this topic is true.

    4. “President Trump is still the president and calling the shots.”
    Those who put this forth are not only kooks, but crooks.

    4. “You can’t vote yourself out of a rigged system.”
    These people discredited the will of We The People and our Determined Patriotism to correct voter registration rolls and curb cheating at polling stations throughout the country.

    5. “Joe Biden can’t fly on Air Force One!”
    Another BS story designed to get clicks.
    (Clickbait for the gullible)

    6. People who claimed wild and ridiculous stories (such as Damar Hamlin was dead and the person in his place was an actor) that were put forth by the “Jerry Springer” of podcasters - Mr. Peters.

    7. The real Joe Biden is dead. Everyone from X22, Stew Peters, Juan O’Savin, Charlie Ward, Nino, Matrix, and the rest of the Jerry Springer class of podcasters.
    (I had Charlie Ward and Simon Parkes on my show in 2021 when I was starting. Once they made wild claims, they weren’t back on. I have cordial relationships with them, but can’t have them on my show).

  • Occam’s Razor

    Exclusion for Work Performed by Insured Defeats Claim for Construction Defects
    Post 4935

    Read the full article at https://lnkd.in/gT_NsMHv, see the full video at https://lnkd.in/gqkPHYbp and at https://lnkd.in/gEEXkUe3, and at https://zalma.com/blog plus more than 4900 posts.

    The question presented to the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals was whether a contractor’s CGL insurance policy covers general damage to a non-defective part of the contractor’s project resulting from a subcontractor’s defective work on a different part of that project.

    APPLICATION OF OCCAM’S RAZOR

    The analysis technique that proposes that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex.

    FACTUAL BACKGROUND

    Applying Massachusetts law, the district court concluded that Admiral had no duty to defend Tocci in Admiral Insurance Company, Starr Indemnity & Liability Company, Great American Assurance Company v. Tocci Building Corporation, Tocci Residential LLC, John L. Tocci, Sr., No. 22-1462, United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit (November 8, 2024) and Tocci appealed.

    From 2013 to 2016, Tocci was the construction manager for an apartment project owned by Toll JM EB Residential Urban Renewal LLC (“Toll”). There were several work quality issues and delays on the project, and Toll eventually terminated Tocci in March 2016 for alleged mismanagement of the project.

    Toll sued with allegations regarding instances of defective work leading to property damage. The allegations included defective work by Tocci’s subcontractors resulting in various instances of property damage to non-defective work on the project, including (1) damage to sheetrock resulting from faulty roof work; (2) mold formation resulting from inadequate sheathing and water getting into the building; and (3) damage to a concrete slab, wood framing, and underground pipes resulting from soil settlement due to improper backfill and soil compaction.

    DUTY TO DEFEND

    Tocci sought defense and indemnity coverage under the Admiral insurance policies. Admiral denied coverage.

    The district court granted Admiral’s motion on duty to defend because the damage alleged in Toll’s complaint did not qualify as “property damage” as defined in the policy because the allegations consisted entirely of damage at Tocci’s own project.

    ANALYSIS

    The First Circuit considered three steps to the coverage analysis: (1) Do the damages alleged in the action fall within the scope of coverage?; (2) if so, do the exclusions to coverage apply?; and (3) if so, do any exceptions to the exclusions apply?

    The First Circuit noted that there is a sharp split of authority on whether damage to non-defective work resulting from a subcontractor’s defective work constitutes “property damage” or is caused by an “occurrence.” The First Circuit decided to avoid the issues of what constitutes “property damage” by focusing on the exclusions which were sufficient to resolve the complete dispute.

    THE HOLDING

    There are two “Damage to Property” exclusions that provide that there is no coverage for “property damage” to: that particular part of real property on which you or any contractors or subcontractors working directly or indirectly on your behalf are performing operations, if the ‘property damage’ arises out of those operations; or that particular part of any property that must be restored, repaired or replaced because “your work” was incorrectly performed on it.

    The First Circuit, applying Occam’s Razor, focused its analysis on the exclusion it concluded covers the allegations in the Toll complaint. Since the complaint alleges damage resulting from Tocci’s “incorrectly performed” work on the entire project “[t]hat particular part of any property that must be restored, repaired or replaced because ‘[Tocci’s] work’ was incorrectly performed on it” refers to the entirety of the project where Tocci was the general contractor charged with supervising and managing the project as a whole.

    Therefore, the First Circuit concluded that Admiral met its burden of establishing that the Toll action only alleges damage falling within the exclusion and that there was no exception to that exclusion that applied.

    ZALMA OPINION

    This is a case of a court applying Occam’s Razor, by picking an easy and obvious solution – the application of an exclusion – and avoiding the problem of different court rulings on coverage about “property damage” and “occurence.” Since the exclusion clearly applied there was no duty to defend.
