‘Nashville Shooter Had ‘Emotional Disorder’ and Parents Didn’t Want 28-Year-Old Owning Guns, Police Say ‘
“…investigators spoke to the shooter’s parents, who revealed the their child was under a doctor’s care for an undisclosed emotional disorder. The parents shared with investigators that they previously voiced concerns about their child owning firearms due to her condition. They told police they knew the shooter had purchased and sold one weapon, but were not aware that the shooter had been hiding several more at home.”

Mental health professionals must report threats of violence to authorities. As I have posted over the years examples of mass shootings being committed by those with known mental problems that might have been prevented IF threats had been reported. Additionally, is often the case mass shooters were able to buy weapons as result of their conditions or past behavior not being properly reported to federal authorities.

Politicians are reluctant to touch issue of mass shooter mental health instead go for low hanging fruit of firearms ownership. Proper reporting of violent or criminal behavior or Court findings or mental health commitments to name a few would prevent legal purchase of firearms. Unfortunately, after mass shootings we learn firearms were legally purchased even though there were known factors that had they been reported would have prevented those purchases.
Many mass shootings could be prevented IF penalties for failure to report were increased substantially.
We are long overdue for having news coverage of mass shootings prevented outnumbering mass shooting deaths ! ! !

Or gee, instead of encouraging a police-state atmosphere, make mental health treatments more available? Expanding on what is available for health care would address that much more effectively.

Interesting twist, or was it planned this way all along ? ? ? ?
Trump juror may have talked about the case making for possible mistrial.
How convenient sentencing might not happen, incarceration would mean DEMs would be giving Trump a further boost in both campaign contributions and poll numbers. With a mistrial DEMs and their propaganda media machine still get to use their felon refrain.

Lawfare and the “felon” label aren’t working. In fact they’ve turbocharged the campaign, fundraising, and most importantly market share.
Now Merchan, Bragg, and their ilk are saying, “Hey wait a minute, you promised if I did this stuff Trump would be finished and I’d be rich and revered, not headed for disbarment and bankruptcy!”

Reply: “Why do you think we didn’t pursue this case in federal court, you chump! Look, you won’t be rich and revered, but here is how you can salvage what’s left of your career……….”

I think Juan cooked this one up so he could blame the mistrial on a juror & escape the embarrassment and humiliation of Trump winning his appeal and the whole circus trial being thrown out.

“Sheinbaum served nearly five years as mayor of Mexico City, resigning in 2023 to seek the presidential nomination. Before entering politics, she was an environmental engineer, worked on a UN panel of climate scientists, and received the nickname “la Doctora” for her stellar scientific credentials. Sheinbaum’s landslide victory was propelled by the endorsement of Mexico’s current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), her political mentor and the wildly popular founder of the country’s dominant, populist MORENA party (Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional). She’s promised to follow many of his precedents, including cooperating with Washington on reducing migrant border crossing, but it’s not yet clear whether she’ll diverge from him on key issues highly relevant to the U.S. including gang violence, energy and international investment.” The machismo country that is Mexico just elected a female president…it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

¡Oy veya!

Did you get the glossy flyer about the new rent/tenancy control law in the mail today from the City of Concord? I did. All units for rent in Concord, including single family homes, are now affected.

Glad I am not a landlord or a person looking to rent!

Landlords with multiple units can’t raise rent to keep up with inflation, and individual owners of just one home or condo have lost significant control of their ability to end a tenancy. Even the sale of the home or the death of the landlord is not considered “Just Cause” for ending a tenancy!

Prospective tenants will find fewer single family homes coming on the market, and rents going up as a result of reduced supply and increased expenses to landlords. Existing renters of single family homes and condos can expect rents to go up as landlords come to understand the negative impact of new “just cause” requirements and relocation costs.

In the short term, existing tenants in multi-unit apartments will benefit from these extreme rent caps and occupancy controls, but if they ever need to move to another home or apartment in Concord, they too will suffer from higher costs.

The big winners here are the lawyers, who will be able to sue landlords who don’t follow all the new legal and reporting requirements precisely. Don’t take my word for this. Read the 30 page ordinance yourself.

I am not blaming city staff for this mess. They are trying hard to implement a very complicated, convoluted ordinance. The buck stops with the three well intentioned council members (Laura Nakamura, Edi Birsan, and Dominic Aliano) who ignored the testimony of so many real estate owners and experts in voting for this ordinance.

Who would rent their home or their condo in Concord now? Only those who either don’t understand the new law or those who choose to ignore it and take their chances.

I asked here after the civil verdict from Trump’s sexual assault trial, and what I took away was that a lot of MAGA folks thought that since it was only a civil case with a light burden of proof it was much ado about nothing. I’m curious if a criminal felony conviction has had any effect on your support?

29

It’s called Make America Great Again. Yes it has had an effect on our support. We keep finding more and more former democrats who are now Trump all the way because of the continual persecution of the best president of their lifetime.
They were forced by democrats to support george floyd, a convicted felon. They were forced to support the criminals in the biden administration, including his felonious son and himself. They were forced to support crimes against humanity by dr fauci. They were forced to support the reality defying insanity of men being pregnant. They were forced to support the destruction of our economy by giving trillions to ukraine while our streets are full of homeless and illegals.
They are pissed off now.
Nobody cares about a show trial conviction that will be overturned by the supreme court or declared a mistrial any day now. Cry more.

You’re welcome. Did you notice how none of it supports the desperate clam that there exists a “MAGA cult”? It all has to do with what democrats have become. Sad

My takeaway from it was that you have decided to abandon the rule of law. You declare Fauci and J. Biden guilty even though they haven’t even been charged. You declare H. Biden to be a felon even though he has yet to be convicted (although honestly, I suspect he will be a felon soon, at least until the NRA funded lawsuit against that particular law makes its way through the courts). At the same time you declare your guy to be innocent even after he was convicted by a jury.

I never declared him to be innocent. I just simply don’t care about an accounting issue that is based on the speculation of what was possibly done or not. The whole case is based on an assumption of an assumption. It’s not based on factual evidence. The judge is a democrat donor (illegal in NY), the prosecutor ran on “getting Trump”, Joe Biden send a DOJ clown to push this show trial. It’s a show trial about nothing.

My mistake, I didn’t read it as such, sorry for putting words in your mouth. I’m not trying to feel good about myself, I’m just trying to understand.

Each conviction only helps Trump’s cause. The campaign money flows in. People harassed by the legal system become sympathetic. Trump is now a counter-culture iconoclast.

BTW – Anyone with 5 minutes can research Trump’s sexual assault accuser. She is a nut.

It is government 101. What ex President Trump implemented was through executive action, which is not binding. Anything Biden does will be the same.

Congress needs to pass immigration laws that will be enshrined into law, but as we’ve seen, Congress is not able to pass much in terms of legislation.

@MDUSD Teacher
Your original post claimed it was not Biden’s border policy; however, it became his policy on day one with a stroke of a pen. Executive Action, as you said, reversed Trump’s policies and made them Biden’s policies. We’re not talking laws here, just policies….pedo Biden’s policies.

@maga Sam. There it is. Teachers indoctrinate students. We cannot possibly do that. If we could, we have them put down their cell phones and turn in their work on time.

I have seen you parrot a lot of the false narratives peddles by outlets they base the rot information on misinformation. This DEI nonsense is not based upon what is happening in classrooms.

Educators don’t indoctrinate anymore. In the past social studies taught the ideals of American Exceptionalism and generations have clung to that.

Education today focus on dominate narratives, counter narratives, historical thinking, critical thinking, and utilizing of primary sources that require students to state their argument, support it with evidence, and analyze their evidence in the context of their argument.

But yea. Indoctrination is what we do.

And there IT is. You’re a liar and you hate America. I know you have DEI training. You clapped back just to LIE.

Q. When?

I do find it somewhat interesting that District Attorney Alvin Bragg increased the 34 Misdemeanors to Felonies. D.A. Bragg has reduced Felonies to Misdemeanors by 73% in N Y.C. since being elected.

Here’s an example of one more negative impact. Lots of Concord’s older homes have large lots that could accommodate Accessory Dwelling Units. While ADUs have helped a lot families house aging relatives, people will now think twice before building ADUs on their property.

17

Oops. I meant to post this in reply to Mike McDermott’s concerns about Concord’s new rent control law. I really hope people wake up. This new law is very short-sighted, and it will do way more harm than good.

15

ANEW, The new ordinance does exempt ADU and single room rentals.

There will be an initiative on the state ballot in November to gut Costa- Hawkins, which is a law that currently prevents cities from imposing rent control on single family homes, condos, etc. if that passes, the three amigos ( councilmembers Aliano, Birsan, and Nakamura) may decide to expand the scope of the ordinance.

Their current “just cause” vacancy control rules affecting single family homes will drive up rental prices. Guaranteed. The increased rents will then create the pretext for expanding the rent control law. Sad to say I really don’t think any of these three councilmembers understand basic economics. They are good people but this ordinance is proof they are in over their head.

MIKE, thanks for clarifying the ADU issue. I read the mailer and I assumed ADUs were on the hook since they weren’t listed as one of the exemptions. I also wondered “what’s next”, and your information about Costa-Hawkins is helpful. Why would anyone plan property improvements such as ADUs when it’s likely that many more poorly thought out ordinances could be in the works?

ANEW, Great question. How can you make a big investment in your home when you have no confidence the council majority won’t change the rules on a whim?
Zoning changes used to be a high hurdle. Now with the support of state law they can rezone your neighborhood to high density…and tough luck on your dramatic loss in home value when a 5 story apartment building with inadequate onsite parking goes in next door.

Everything you have seen in the last few years has been a psychological operation designed to wake you up. Joe biden craping his pants on stage is all part of it. Trump the “convicted felon” was convicted exactly one week before Hunter biden’s trial where the FBI testified the laptop and all the joe biden, china, ukraine bribe money was 100% real. One week before fauci faced intense pressure about his role in the COVID HOAX. The trans movement is falling apart as fast as the economy. Blacks are rallying for Trump across the country. Illegals will be deported. Enjoy the show.

We have various posters denying trump said our dead servicemen were “ Suckers and losers” and asking “what was in it for them?”

That quote comes from John Kelly , retired USMC General and former Chief of Staff for Trump.

It was printed in the Atlantic and rereported on NBC.

Trump said at least 25 people didn’t hear him say that.

A simple google search will uncover the story. To those who simply parrot trump , well they won’t believe anything bad. To people who seek the truth , look it up and decide for yourselves.

@ Angry Frank-

Your sources also reported that Trump peed on hookers in Moscow. And that Hunter’s laptop was fake and “Russian collusion”. They have said that the border is closed. That the 2020 protestors were “mostly peaceful”. That Trump would cause WWIII (during his first term). That Kavanaugh raped girls. That Jussie Smollett was a victim of Maga racism. That the jab is safe and wear your mask or we all die. That boys can menstruate. That everything is fine, there is nothing to see here.

I can keep going but I won’t.

You can only cry wolf so many times before people catch onto your schtick. We figured this out years ago. You however, see wolves every time you turn on CNN. Wake up because “your guy” has been, and will continue to, play you for the non-thinking sucker that you are.

This reminds me of the movie “Kiss of Death” where Richard Widmark pushes a lady in a wheelchair down the stairs and laughs maniacally. Kamala’s laugh has that same “On the ragged edge of complete insanity” quality.

Since Crooked Joe was installed as president, his antipathy for the American people and anyone who opposes him has poisoned the body politic of the United States.
The damage done to this nation by this evil regime has been ruinous on every level, from the cancellation of the Keystone pipeline, to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, to the willful importation of at least ten million illegal alien criminals from all over the world, to the irresponsible spending up to $35 trillion in debt. Virtually everything that crook has done has been potentially fatal to our nation.
He is corrupt, a compulsive liar, and an angry hostile demented phony. He cares nothing about the American people, about the Constitution, or the future of our republic. He has spent his life using his political positions; congressman, senator, VP, and as president for one thing only, to enrich himself and his family.
I’ll never understand how the voters of Delaware kept voting for him. Then again…..maybe they really didn’t.
May he burn in hell.

HAPPY PAPPY,

President Biden held office as a New Castle County Councilman, not Congresman. Former Vice President Spiro Agnew held the similar position of Baltimore County Executive.

Remember that Biden said,”I don’t work for you.”

His actions sure illustrated that well.

Nearly 10K fast food workers have been fired thanks to Newsom’s $20 minimum wage, according to the California Business and Industrial Alliance, which slammed Newsom for the incredibly stupid law which went into effect last April.
The usual ignorance and stupidity of CA democrats, led by that clown, continue to squander resources and create more problems for us.
To state the obvious; minimum wage jobs were NEVER intended to fully support an individual, let alone a family.
And don’t forget Newsom was a huge player in the horrible downfall of San Francisco.
See a pattern yet? Remember that when you vote.

The democrats won’t remember that; they’ll continue voting for anyone with a “D” after their name.

Just watch. And nobody can prove me wrong.

Minimum wage is literally set so that someone working full time won’t be in poverty. If working around the clock for a giant corporation like McDonalds isn’t going to keep a person out of poverty then why should they do it? For the glory of their masters? Would you work a full time job and get less than you need to pay rent and buy food? Why?

Yes! Because I’m living at home with my parents and going to school so until I graduate the cash I get can enable me to do some outside activities and save for college.
Flipping burgers and dropping junk into the fryer isn’t a “career”… it’s just a stepping stone.

27% of fast food employees are enrolled in school. Why are the other 73% of the burger flippers supposed to agree to live in poverty?

They can work more than one job. They can apply for a better job while holding down a fast food job. They can budget better and not waste $ on apps and smokes and alcohol. They can learn a trade or skill that let’s them qualify for better paying jobs. They can learn to plan ahead (this should really be step 1).
Or they can either accept their dead end job or sit on the couch eating edibles.

Which best describes you, Doh?

CHUQ – Is it really that hard for you to understand?
It’s a starter job, get a little work experience, nobody is expected to stay there for the next 40 years unless they plan on at least running the place or owning it.

Pay is determined by the value added to the product or service.

Nobody is forcing them to work there. You want better pay, then take the responsibility to improve yourself.

Don’t just sit back and whine, crying that you’re not “getting enough.”

You want some cheese with your whine?

Pay is determined by the skill set you have acquired and how badly an employer needs a person with your specific skills. Minimum wage is low to incentivize learning of job skills.
.
Largest group of DEM voters 18 – 29 year olds.
Main reason why obama snatched up student loans.
In case of fast food workers DEMs are using employer’ money to buy votes.
Student loan forgiveness which Supreme Court told biden he can’t do is again to buy votes.
.
DEMs are adept at bait-n-fail, they’ll dangle carrots trying to get votes.
Student loan forgiveness, minimum wage raises and reparations, etc.

From a post last October.
“Four year colleges are overpriced, high school grads should seriously consider going to a junior college and learn a skill set that is both portable and in demand. LMC in Pittsburg has a two year program and even before graduation companies are making job offers. Staring salaries are substantial and if at a Union shop expect $85,000 and up. With overtime $100,000 + not unusual.”

Hunter guilty on all charges…. ok, so even if he gets sentenced to serve any time Joe will just pardon him AFTER he loses the election.
It won’t matter what he promised not to do after that.

Hunter has been found guilty on all of his gun charges. Next comes the sentencing, although it is not known yet how much time he gets. Apparently, the judge recently gave another perp 1 year as a sentence in a similar case.

So here is my take on what comes next for the Prodigal Son. He is sentenced to jail, with the actual facility being a “club fed”. He will be pardoned by his dad shortly after the election.

(But Joe has already said that he would not pardon Hunter!)
Saying and doing are two very different things. If Joe wins, he has nothing to lose by pardoning his son. He can’t run again, so what does he care if public opinion is against a pardon? If Joe loses, he still has nothing to lose with a pardon since his political career will be over.

Hunter will be free shortly after the election. Early Jan ’25 at the very latest.

In the unlikely event Hunter receives jail time, he will claim to be transitioning. That will put him right in the middle of his preferred environment: Surrounded by troubled ladies.

It’s so weird that Trump cultists are so desperate for a win to assuage the sting of the former president getting the just verdict for his crimes that they are obsessed with Hunter Biden. Of Course if Hunter Biden committed crimes he should be prosecuted. Thats not in question.

And since you mention slaps on the wrist, Trump’s crime has a maximum penalty of four years for each conviction (served concurrently) so I’m certain you want to see him serve his time in your zeal for law abiding.

There is a huge difference between the Hunter and Trump cases…..Hunter actually committed the crimes for which he was accused.

I don’t have a problem with Hunter, I don’t like his dad, in fact, I can’t stand him, but I don’t dislike Hunter. He’s a party animal, has a famous dad, and takes advantage of it. I don’t hold it against him, there are a lot of people that would do the same if they had rich and famous parents. It’s his life, and it’s his choice, and if he ever suffers any consequences because of his choices, it will be his problem to deal with it. As far as lying on the gun purchase application, he is guilty, but that’s where I have a problem. I don’t believe the question should be on the application, or even if there should be an application. I am a firm believer in the US Constitution, and I swore an oath to support and defend it. Therefor, the words “shall not be infringed” mean something to me. I do not believe the government should have the right to place restrictions on gun ownership. Hunter should be protected by the Second, and Eighth Amendments. The Second Amendment, which is the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed, and the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The Constitution should apply equally to everybody, even to the people we don’t like, or the child of someone we don’t like.
I’m just as tired of the Left criticizing and putting down the family of Donald Trump, as much as I’m tired of the Right criticizing and putting down the family of Joe Biden. To dislike the president is OK, but to dislike their family just because they are related is condescending and arrogant, it just seems immature to me. Fox News does it just as much as MSNBC does it, and people are too blind to see that both sides are just as bad, and are enabling further division of our country.

I believe any man who won’t acknowledge, accept, or even help pay for his own child is a first-class sleaze bag, not a party animal. Sorry, Dawg, but that family is twisted on many levels.

Well worth your time to listen to the end.
While you weren’t paying attention global elites have been very busy.
10 million un-vetted illegal aliens have invaded us with direct support from our own govt.
The same is also happening in other western nations. All with direct support from evil criminal “leaders” like ours.
This clip presents a view of what’s to come.

Remember back in 2016 legalizing Pot Prop 64 and all those glowing promises ? ? ?
All that tax revenue that was going to roll in, how they were going to distribute those millions of tax dollars. How it was going to decrease law enforcement costs that was then being spent.
An it was going to decrease black market and drug cartel activity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_G6-LrB8k
.
Anyone surprised DEMs were WRONG ? ? ?
.
Black market in Pot is thriving, grow house busts are common place.
Law enforcement costs related to illegal Pot have gone up.
An their head in the clouds huge tax revenues never happened.
In typical DEM fashion all the fees leveled for growing and tax imposed made non legal Pot much cheaper than legal Pot. But hey, ya can’t fault DEM politicians and their unelected minions. They have no clue how economics works and free market is a something they’re incapable of grasping.
.
“…Overall sales have been falling for the past two years. The number of legal cannabis growers and brands has decreased by more than 70% since legalization first went into effect, according to the Mercury News. A recent report found that pot companies owe the state more than $730 million in back taxes, money that California likely will never see as most of those companies have already folded.”

The laptop was real, Joe and the deep state lied about it, the media suppressed the news. That proves the election was stolen.

Do you know the difference between Trump and Hunter’s felony convictions? Hunter actually committed a crime.

Did Dementia Joe really say he is proud of his son getting away with everything else he did?

Looks like Democrats want to make it impossible to be a homeowner in California!

“The 7 Massive Tax Hikes You Will Face If We Lose the Fight to Save Prop 13 in 2024”

1. Mileage Tax: Politicians want to impose a 6-cents per mile tax costing an average of $900 per car per year!

2. Healthcare Tax: Politicians propose to double California state taxes to fund government-run healthcare – costing average of $16k per household per year

3. Exit Tax: Politicians want a new tax for up to 10 years on residents who move out of California

4. Savings Tax: Politicians want a new tax on your personal savings and investments

5. Gas Tax: The law passed recently imposing a new tax on oil companies would be invalidated.

6. Utility Taxes: The crazy proposal to charge you higher utility rates if you earn “too much” will be blocked. In addition, the $4.5 billion in hidden state taxes on utility bills have to be voted on – or eliminated.

7. Local Tax Hikes: Any local sales or property tax hike adopted after January 2022 would be invalidated for not complying with the provisions of the CTPI.

California politicians are using all of their dirty tricks – including deceptive ballot titles on these initiatives – to kill Prop 13!
