The heroic bystander who took down the Monterey Park gunman after he murdered 10 people at a California dance hall has spoken out to describe how he took the 72-year-old down, saying his 'primal instinct' told him to attack.  Brandon Tsay was at the Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra at 10.40pm last night when gunman Huu Can Tran burst through the doors armed with an illegal, semi-automatic pistol.  He has since told Good Morning America and The New York Times how he was helping out on Saturday night at his family's business when dozens had come to the ballroom for a Lunar New Year party. Tran had already killed 10 people

The dims should definitely outlaw jealousy - in their quest to form a more perfect population- kind of like Dr Moreau.

The name "Huu Can Tran" looks to be Vietnamese. From his age, the shooter could be native born. Any info if the people at the Monterey Park group and the Lai Lai Ballroom were from another ethnic/national persuasion? (It's not just the descendants of NW Europeans living in the US that have prejudices.)

There needs to be more illegal semi-automatic pistol control laws. In the shooter's case, there needs to be more fashion control laws for the stocking cap he had on.

And the neighbors say he was "a nice, quiet guy". But sometimes human emotions boil over. This won't be in the news long. An asian guy ( think the name is Vietnamese) killing people doesn't fit the leftist's anti-white hate story line. Once again, the lying, incompetent propaganda media once put out the pure lie that the shooter used a "high powered assault rifle" in yesterday's reports when he actually used a normal handgun.....but now their claim is that it was an "illegal semi-automatic pistol". Hmm. I wonder what was illegal about it? Stolen? Or just not approved by the current draconian antigun laws in California? Since this type of gun has been in common use for between half a century and a century, depending on the exact design, they are VERY common, with hundreds of millions in circulation in the USA. Hard to tell from the extremely poor quality photo, but that looks like a VERY ordinary pistol, and the magazine in the box with it seems to be an entirely ordinary magazine, too. Note that "high capacity magazines" have been the standard design in certain handguns since about 1907 with the 10 shot Savage .32 ACP pistol, which was an innovation 116 yeas ago. And in the late 1920s FN in Belgium had developed the Browning 9mm pistol with a standard 13 shot magazine, so that is nearly a century old, too. There are dozens and dozens of standard pistols today with magazines in the 15 to 17 round capacity as standard. Many police departments use Glock or Smith & Wesson pistols with 17 round magazines. These are NORMAL capacity magazines, and have been for at least 50 years. There is nothing unusual about these magazines or guns. They are the normal designs of the last 30 to100+ years. The antigun folks trying to claim that cartridge capacity beyond six or eight cartridges is somehow "horrific" and "extreme" is not dissimilar to their apparent hatred of natural gas stoves. I guess they want us back to flintlock pistols and wood stoves.

He ess Chinese. He met his wife at that first ballroom in the 1990s; they were divorced by 2006. Here is a tumeline of his known life: https://conandaily.com/2023/01/22/huu-can-tran-biography-13-things-about-fremont-california-man/ From the very earliest reports this was characterized as a domestic dispute gone bad. Was he looking for another woman or had he gone into dementia and was looking for the wife who’d divorced him?

This article quotes his first wife, whom he taught to dance years ago at the Star Dance Studio, the site of the first shootings. She remarked that he was quick to anger if she made a mistake. His latest residence was n Hemet, some distance from the largely Chnese communities of Monterey Park and Alhambra. He was either searching for a second wife or had gone off the rails mentally and was out looking for #1 who’d divorced him in 2006. Lunar New Year is a really big deal for the Chinese. They party. They drink a lot. Something causes the Chinese to not handle liquor well. Genetics? He was 72. Brooding? Depressed? Who knows? We don’t.

#7, surname "Tran" comes from Vietnam and China. (Internet says it is a transliteration of "Chen".) However, given name "Huu" seems to be wholly Vietnamese. (And not to be confused with Welsh given name "Hu.") There is a minority group of people called the Hoa that are from Vietnam but are ethnically Chinese. There seems to have been some friction between the Hoa and the ethnic Vietnamese.

How can this be? The gun is illegal, that means it cannot be in someone's possession or used, right?

A Republican congresswoman blasted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's threats to boot three outspoken Democrats off committees on Tuesday. Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz dismissed the GOP leader's efforts as 'bread and circuses' and called on him to 'start governing for a change' in the searing statement.  McCarthy has vowed to remove Democrat Reps. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff of California from the House select committee on Intelligence, while threatening to remove progressive Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee. It's payback for Democrats voting to strip hard-right GOP Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona and Marjorie Taylor Greene of George of their committee assignments in the last Congress.

"America is just sick and tired of antifa," Greene told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. "Look at what they've done over years now. Just from 2020, they're responsible for nearly $2 billion in damage and many people dead, but the war is against the police, and the reason why is because antifa is the ground troops of the Democrat Party." Greene's remarks come days after antifa caused chaos in Atlanta Saturday, smashing windows and lighting a police car on fire.

On Tuesday evening, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy went nuclear on reporters over a question of whether or not Adam Schiff will be allowed to serve on Intel committees in the future. “What did Adam Schiff do as the chairman of the Intel committee? What Adam Schiff did is use his power at the chairman and lied to the American public,” McCarthy began. “When Devon Nunes put out a memo, he [Schiff] said it was false. When we had a laptop, he [Schiff] used it before the election to be politics and say that it was false, he said it was the Russians when he knew different,” he said.

In March 2022, hundreds of students at Yale Law School disrupted a panel with Kristen Waggoner, a conservative lawyer who has argued religious liberty cases before the Supreme Court, arguing that her presence was a "slap in the face" to "queer students." Yale's response to the incident left the school with egg on its face: Though the protest clearly violated Yale's free speech policies, which do not allow protesters to disrupt speakers, not a single student was disciplined. Now Waggoner is returning to Yale Law for another talk.

The Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank where classified documents were found in November, hosted an event encouraging deeper U.S.-China ties. The event took place as the University of Pennsylvania received tens of millions of dollars from Chinese entities, much of which was donated anonymously. The Penn Biden Center was the repository of a stash of classified U.S. documents until President Joe Biden’s personal attorneys found the papers in the president’s office on November 2. In June, the center hosted a two-day event for Congressional staffers that encouraged closer cooperation with China

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation Monday to ban “205 military-style assault weapons by name” and prohibit transfer of “high capacity” magazines. Feinstein cited the January 21, 2023, Monterey Park shooting as the impetus for the reintroduction of the “assault weapons” ban. She said, “We were tragically reminded this weekend of the deadly nature of assault weapons when a shooter used one to kill 11 people and injure 9 more at a Lunar New Year celebration in California.” However, Feinstein’s proposed ban would not have prevented the suspected gunman from possessing the gun used in the attack.

As interest rates continue to skyrocket, home prices across the country have continued to plummet — and Goldman Sachs says the declines will only worsen and extend through 2023. In a note to clients earlier this month, Goldman Sachs forecasted that four American cities in particular should gear up for a seismic decline compared to that of the 2008 housing crash. San Jose, California; Austin, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and San Diego, California will likely see boom and bust declines of more than 25%. Such declines would rival those seen around 15 years ago during the Great Recession.

Dozens of House Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the debt ceiling, which would allow the government to borrow without any limit set by Congress. The federal government hit the $31.381 trillion debt ceiling last week, and House Republicans are pushing for commitments to cut back on the record growth in federal spending before agreeing to allow more borrowing. But Democrats accuse Republicans of setting up the possibility of prohibiting a debt ceiling hike, which would make the government unable to fund all of its current obligations. Democrats say a better idea is to eliminate all limits on federal borrowing and allow
