The noise of the Florida Panhandle, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). There is a bombshell series of tweets from a whistleblower. She said there is a possible raid of his home and congressional office. Other allegations include him cheating and having sex with underage girls emerge.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) ain't the only one having a swinging lifestyle. She allegedly slept with numerous men while married. It appears House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may have dipped in too. It was a rumor McCarthy slept with former North Carolina lawmaker Renee Ellmers.
It appears that Gaetz allegedly have numerous affairs with women and possibly a man.
Gaetz recently married his girlfriend in 2019.
Florida former health administrator turned whistleblower Rebekah Jones was reinstated to Twitter and she broke the news on the platform.
I've had some strange conversations with Matt Gaetz' former ppl over the last few months including the person who hosted his watch party.
The judge dismissed the restraining order because the parent of the minor child was a political figure and thus stalking the child could be considered "legitimate purpose" if framed in a political context. Judge also lambasted Gaetz, Hetu for their behavior & making "propaganda" pic.twitter.com/VW3wdmIGxd
Jones has a claim that Gaetz has been having an affair with a male staffer. He also hired a man who stalked a 12 year old boy, that both saw a sexual interest in. The boy and family placed a restraining order on the man.
Jones also believe that the FBI is going to do search of Gaetz's office, home and associates any day now.
Gaetz, a far right do nothing lawmaker from Florida was one of 25 members who held up the Speaker vote in early January. He along with ten other members of the Freedumb Caucasians got a rules change which now allows one member to protest for an ouster of a House Speaker.
Gaetz is under federal watch for alleged human trafficking of an underage girl.
Dan Harmon survived a scandal. Justin Roiland did not. The voice of Rick and Morty is out.
The co-creator and main voice of Adult Swim's hit animated comedy Rick and Morty is fired out the cannon. It appears the network is formally severing its ties and vowing to continue on despite the cannon firing.
Justin Roiland, who is the co-creator of the show, a script writer, voice of both mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith as well as 12 various characters was fired out the cannon after he was indicted on domestic violence charges.
The cable channel retweeted a statement from the official "Rick and Morty" Twitter account that it intends to continue with the show's seventh season but that it has "ended its association with Justin Roiland." Adult Swim confirmed the news in an emailed statement.
Justin Roiland voiced Rick and Morty. Spencer Grammar voiced Summer.
Roiland, who voices title characters Rick and Morty, will be recast, said Marie Moore, the senior vice president of communications at Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns Adult Swim.
NBC News broke the news that Roiland had been charged with felony domestic violence in Orange County, California, in connection with a 2020 incident.
Squanch Games, the video game company co-founded by Roiland, also announced Tuesday on Twitter that Roiland resigned.
"On January 16, 2023, Squanch games received Justin Roiland's resignation," the company posted. The company also sent the statement to NBC News in response to an inquiry on its relationship with Roiland.
Roiland pleaded not guilty in 2020 and was in court for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 12. In a statement, one of his attorneys wrote that Roiland is innocent and expects the case to be dismissed.
“We look forward to clearing Justin’s name and helping him move forward as swiftly as possible,” attorney T. Edward Welbourn wrote.
Roiland, 42, was charged with a felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and a felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit.
How long will Rick and Morty last?
The criminal complaint says the incident occurred on or about Jan. 19, 2020, against a woman, identified as Jane Doe, who was dating Roiland at the time.
Details of the case, including police body camera video, police reports, abuse investigation reports, medical reports and recordings of interviews, are being withheld from the public under a protective order.
The affidavit in support of Roiland’s arrest is also sealed. Roiland was ordered at the pretrial hearing this month to attend a hearing April 27.
"Rick and Morty" debuted in December 2013 and quickly became one of the most popular adult-oriented cartoons, spawning a billion-dollar media and merchandising franchise. The show’s sixth season premiered in September, and Cartoon Network ordered a seventh season as part of a long-term deal for 70 new episodes.
What about George Santos? The Republicans are the party of integrity.
Listening to the bullshit of Sean "Softball" Hannity can be hazardous to Republicans.
Two Democratic lawmakers were removed from sub committees. The Republican House Speaker takes jab at them and "Democrat" leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
Using Democrat instead of Democratic is a pejorative.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) have an open feud with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
On Tuesday, McCarthy has formally booted them from serving on the House Intelligence Committee, escalating the two-year tit-for-tat battle between the parties over who is qualified for certain positions on Capitol Hill.
Minority Leader Jeffries had written to McCarthy on Saturday asking that both Schiff and Swalwell be seated on the Intel panel, where membership assignments come solely at the discretion of the Speaker.
But McCarthy said Schiff’s and Swalwell’s previous actions make them unfit to serve on a panel with jurisdiction over and access to sensitive issues of national security.
“In order to maintain a standard worthy of this committee’s responsibilities, I am hereby rejecting the appointments of Representative Adam Schiff and Representative Eric Swalwell to serve on the Intelligence Committee,” he wrote in a letter to Jeffries on Tuesday.
The move was no surprise.
Democratic lawmakers never called for violence or denied an election but they are booted off their committees.
Republicans have been up in arms over the issue since 2021, when Democrats staged votes to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) from their committees following revelations that they had promoted violence against some of their Democratic colleagues. The eviction votes came after McCarthy declined to punish either lawmaker internally within the GOP conference, which is typically where such disciplinary actions are meted out.
Still, McCarthy on Tuesday denied that his decision regarding Schiff and Swalwell was retribution for Greene and Gosar.
“This is not not anything political. This is not similar to what the Democrats did,” McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday evening just outside his office in the Capitol.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) faces a different situation. The House must vote on formal removal from the Foreign Affairs Committee. While McCarthy has the unilateral authority to block appointments to the Intelligence Committee, the full House must ratify committee membership for the Foreign Affairs panel — meaning a majority of the chamber will have to vote to block the congresswoman from serving.
Asked on Tuesday how confident he is that there will be enough support to block Omar from the Foreign Affairs panel, McCarthy told reporters that “it would be odd to me that members would not support that based upon her comments against Israel.”
Omar, a critic of the U.S.-Israeli alliance is often scapegoated. They make baseless claims that she supports terrorists.
Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are the only Muslims serving in Congress.
Omar is often a target of death threats, baseless conspiracy theories and false accusations of anti-semitism.
The Speaker of the House has not responded to three mass shootings in his state.
The shootings in Oakland, Half Moon Bay and Monterey Park were deadly.
Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to the mass shootings and slammed McCarthy for not even once addressing them or visiting the victims.
Mind you it is a photo op and it won't convince McCarthy to change his stance on firearms but given three mass shootings in a span of 48 hours, you would think he would say something about it.
President Joe Biden, Washed Up 45 and now former vice president Mike Pence.
Calamity for Republicans. What will they find outrage at today?
Likely Biden. Because they refuse to deal with Jan. 6, 2021, gun violence and political extremism. They believe it hurts their chances in 2024. So why not have the country worry about inflation, high gas prices, the border, crime, critical race theory, groomers, protecting unborn fetuses, radical Islam, Antifa, transgender sports, cancel culture and big tech.
Republicans have singled out Biden for the classified documents and so far have no intentions of investigating the former president and former vice president.
They are under fire for having classified documents at their properties. Biden and Pence have cooperated with authorities. Washed Up 45 refused to do so, had his Mar-a-Lago resort searched, tried to get an inexperienced federal judge to stop the investigation, forced a special master, had an appeals court flat out tell the inexperienced judge that her decision was stupid and is under federal watch for all of this.
With all three of them considering a bid in 2024, it does put their trust in question.
Regardless, it is Biden 2024.
I refuse to back any of these extremists in the Republican Party.
Classified documents were found in Pence’s Indiana home last week, his lawyer told the National Archives in a letter — the latest in a string of discoveries of confidential information in private residences.
The records “appear to be a small number of documents bearing classified markings that were inadvertently boxed and transported to the personal home of the former vice president at the end of the last administration,” Pence’s lawyer, Greg Jacob, wrote in the letter shared with The Associated Press.
He said that Pence “engaged outside counsel, with experience in handling classified documents, to review records stored in his personal home after it became public that documents with classified markings were found in President Joe Biden’s Wilmington residence.
The Justice Department already is using special counsels to investigate the presence of documents with classification markings taken from the Florida estate of the former president and from Biden’s home and former Washington office. The department says roughly 300 documents marked classified, including at the top-secret level, were taken from Mar-a-Lago, and officials are trying to determine whether Washed Up 45 or anyone else should be charged with illegal possession of those records or with trying to obstruct the months-long criminal investigation.
Pence’s lawyer said in his letter that the former vice president “was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence” and “understands the high importance of protecting sensitive and classified information and stands ready and willing to cooperate fully with the National Archives and any appropriate inquiry.”
Jacob said that Pence immediately secured the documents that were discovered in a locked safe. And according to a follow-up letter from the lawyer dated Jan. 22, FBI agents visited Pence’s residence to collect the documents.
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment Tuesday, and a lawyer for Pence did not immediately respond to an email seeking elaboration.
Pence told the Associated Press in August that he did not take any classified information with him when he left office.
Asked directly if he had retained any such information, he said, “No, not to my knowledge.”
In a January interview with Fox Business, Pence described a “very formal process” used by his office to handle classified information as well as the steps taken by his lawyers to ensure none was taken with him.
“Before we left the White House, the attorneys on my staff went through all the documents at both the White House and our offices there and at the vice president’s residence to ensure that any documents that needed to be turned over to the National Archives, including classified documents, were turned over. So we went through a very careful process in that regard,” Pence said.
A violent police encounter over a restaurant messing up an order.
The U.S. Justice Department and Ohio authorities are investigating an incident involving two Dayton area police officers and a woman.
A customer at an area McDonald's filmed a cop serve a woman a hot plate after an encounter.
It all happened over a customer complaint which led to a trespassing order, a refusal to identify and thus a physical encounter.
Butler Twp. Sgt. Todd Stanley and Off. Tim Zellers responded at 4:20 p.m. to a call about a disorderly customer at the McDonald’s in Butler Township, a suburb of Dayton.
The customer, Laticka Hancock was upset that McDonald's messed up an order and demanded a refund. The manager called the police to have her banned from the restaurant. She said she will wait for the police to come. As they come, they at first started cordial but it turned into a verbal spat between Hancock, Stanley and Zellers.
When the officers asked Hancock for her driver's license, authorities say Hancock told them she didn't have one and refused to provide her identification. The exchange soon became heated, and one of the officers decided to place Hancock under arrest.
The officers said Hancock resisted arrest, and Stanley eventually hit Hancock on the right side of the face with an "open palm strike." Hancock was then placed in handcuffs, put into a police cruiser and charged with resisting arrest and three other minor counts. Authorities said Hancock was bleeding from her mouth and was treated by an EMT who determined the wound was superficial.
Stanley has served on the Butler force for more than 22 years, while Zellers has served for about 2 1/2 years. Butler Police Chief John Porter said Stanley has no formal reprimands in his personnel file and was placed on leave as a result of repeated correspondence from concerned residents, including "a lot of hate emails and phone calls."
Zellers has not been placed on leave, Porter said.
Hancock and her attorney, Michael Wright, held a news conference Wednesday to discuss the incident. Hancock said that she felt like she could have lost her life over a sandwich and felt lucky that she was able to now tell her side of the story.
"I don't want people to feel like I'm complaining for a piece of cheese," she said.
Wright said the responding officers "were looking for a fight, rather than to deescalate."
He called for Stanley to be fired and charged with assault. He also criticized the restaurant for calling police over the dispute.
"If they can't manage basic customer service, opting to potentially put a person's life in jeopardy over a mishandled Big Mac, it doesn't seem safe for Black people to go and eat at McDonald's anymore," Wright said.
Wright said no decision has been made yet on whether a lawsuit will be filed, noting that his firm was waiting for additional videos inside McDonald's and more information from police.
McDonald's did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment Thursday evening.
This was one of 45 mass shootings that happened in the U.S.
Mind you we are 23 days into 2023.
On Saturday, a terrorist killed 10 people at a dance studio in Monterrey Park, California.
The terrorist was seeking to cause more death. He tried to kill at an Alhambra dance studio before being disarmed. For 12 hours, he ended up being spotted in Torrance. He ended up killing himself before the law moved in on the suspected getaway vehicle.
The terrorist was a 72-year old man and his victims were Asian American.
The president lowered the flags, the feds investigate and funerals are being prepared.
We talk about it and debate it. Then on to the next controversy.
The feds are now trying to find out a motive to his attack.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left.
One political party as of today will not show one ounce of concern. That will be the Republican Party. The party of stupidity, culture wars, political violence and conspiracy theories.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims whenever a tragedy occurs to score political points and phony outrage. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they will force it into national news.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
Terrorist opened fire on a farming warehouse.
Well, in the Bay Area, a mass shooting. A mass shooting only two days after Monterrey Park. This mass shooting happened in Half Moon Bay, a city about 30 miles from San Francisco.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and the California congressional lawmakers were notified.
Two mass shooting in the state that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) resides.
Seven people were killed in a mass shooting at two locations in the coastal northern California city of Half Moon Bay on Monday, and the suspect was arrested after driving to a police parking lot, apparently attempting to turn himself in, officials said.
Newsom said he was visiting Monterey Park victims in the hospital when he was called away and informed of the shooting in Half Moon Bay, about 380 miles to the north.
"Tragedy upon tragedy," Newsom said on Twitter.
The rural area was recently pounded by a series of heavy rainstorms that caused extensive damage, affecting immigrant laborers in the area, farm worker advocates said. A series of atmospheric rivers in the three weeks following Christmas killed 20 people statewide.
San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus identified the suspect and said he worked at one of the shooting locations. Corpus called the sites nurseries, and other officials said they were staffed by farm workers. Local media described at least one of them as a mushroom farm.
"There were farm workers affected tonight. There were children on the scene at the incidents. This is a truly heartbreaking tragedy in our community," San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller told reporters. "The amount of stress that's been on this community for weeks is really quite high."
The suspect was cooperating with investigators but a motive had yet to be established, Corpus said.
A semi-automatic handgun was found in his car, she said.
Deputies responding to a call found four people dead and a fifth victim with life-threatening wounds at the first location in Half Moon Bay, then found three more dead at another place nearby, Corpus told a news conference.
Video on ABC 7 from the Bay Area showed the arrest as two men in plainclothes and one uniformed deputy, guns drawn, ordered the man out of his car. The suspect came out, was thrown to the ground and searched for weapons. Multiple uniformed officers quickly arrived on the scene with long guns.
Expect more.
Corpus said investigators speculate that the suspect drove to the station to turn himself in. The description of car and license plate were already circulating among law enforcement when a deputy spotted the car in the parking lot, Corpus said.
A woman who witnessed the arrest told reporters she had gone to the sheriff's department to get more information as she was involved in agriculture and concerned about the well-being of the farm workers.
"I came down here to find out what I could about the situation and why this happened and I hadn't expected to get quite that close to it," Kati McHugh told reporters on the scene. "It was a little too close for my comfort."
There were 38 mass shootings in the United States in the first 21 days of the year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which describes a mass shooting as four or more people shot or killed, not including the shooter.
With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."
Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
Terrorist caught without a bullet fired.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

At the funeral, Washed Up 45 said he did not know Silk. Her sister Diamond passed away.
A funeral for a controversial media figure is a political rally.
Diamond & Silk were the biggest Black supporters of Washed Up 45 besides gay Black agitators Terrence K. Williams and Christian Walker. Christian somewhat denounced MAGA and Terrence has resorted to grifting by selling $20 pancake mix.
Lynnette Hardaway had passed away at the age of 51. She allegedly died from complications of the coronavirus. The obituary will not detail her passing.
Hardaway, known as Diamond was a popular far right conspiracy theorist who supported Washed Up 45 along with her sister Rochelle Hardaway-Richardson, known as Silk.
They got popularity in 2015 when the two gave a verbal lashing to Megyn Kelly when sje questioned the former reality television star about his controversial remarks towards women.
The two generated media buzz when The Drudge Report, Twitter and YouTube ampilified their rant into the mainstream.
Diamond was the most vocal member of the duo. She led the charge to attack critics of Washed Up 45. She mocked Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Paul Pelosi, Hunter Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, Eminem, Roland Martin and numerous others.
But in death, Silk and Black conservatives want respect.
Nah.
Washed Up 45, Mark Burns, Lynne Patton and Mike Lindell were in attendance of the far right agitator's funeral.
Another mass shooting in the United States. It happened in the city of Monterrey Park, California, about 20 miles east of Los Angeles. Many of the victims were of Chinese American descent. It happened on Lunar New Year, a traditional Chinese holiday.
This was one of 43 mass shootings that happened in the U.S.
Mind you we are 23 days into 2023.
The suspect was a 72-year old man who had tried to his mass shooting spree in Monterrey Park and then attempted to continue the massacre nearby Alhambra but was disarmed. The attack was on Saturday at a dance studio around 10pm.
Ten people, comprising five men and five women, were killed in the shooting.
Another ten other people were injured, with seven of them remaining hospitalized as of January 22, some in critical condition.
Upon leaving he was literally on the loose for 12 hours before he was spotted in Torrance.
The Los Angeles Sheriffs Department SWAT cornered the terrorist and upon confrontation, the terrorist shot himself. He was found dead.
The feds are now trying to find out a motive to his attack.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Another senseless mass shooting in the United States. The latest from Monterey Park, California. The city is east of Los Angeles. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and the House members of California were notified.
The suspect(s) are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
What happens when a Black person shoots a white person?
They obviously go to jail and are judged by the junk food media agitators for having some fault in their life. It is common that the far right wants Black America to condemn the actions of one Black extremist, one Black criminal or one Black politician.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."

A man fatally shot 10 people and injured at least 10 others at a ballroom dance hall during a Chinese Lunar New Year celebration late on Saturday near Los Angeles before fleeing the scene, police said.
The shooter, still at large 12 hours after the attack in the city of Monterey Park, was believed to be an Asian man between 30 and 50 years old based on descriptions from eyewitnesses, law enforcement officials said.
"We need to get this person off the street as soon as possible," Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told reporters at a Sunday morning news conference in Monterey Park, home to one of the largest Asian American communities in the United States.
Earlier on Sunday morning, the sheriff's department said it did not know whether the attack was racially motivated. Five of the victims were male and five were female, Luna said. Their identities have not been made public.
Luna later released images of the suspect apparently taken from surveillance camera footage showing him wearing spectacles, dressed in a dark jacket and a dark beanie hat with white stripes. The sheriff's department said it was releasing the images in an attempt to identify the suspect and that he should be considered "armed and dangerous."
Alleged terrorist.
Late on Sunday morning, police in Torrance, California, were using armored vehicles to surround a white cargo van believed to be connected to the shooting suspect, an ABC News affiliate reported, broadcasting aerial video of the scene.
Officials were investigating whether an incident at another dance venue in the neighboring city of Alhambra about 20 minutes later on Saturday night was connected with the massacre in Monterey Park. At the second venue, witnesses said an Asian man walked in holding a gun that patrons were able to grab. No one was shot and the man fled, Luna said.
When police arrived at the Monterey Park ballroom, people were "pouring out of the location screaming," department captain Andrew Meyer told reporters at a news briefing.
At least 10 people were taken to local hospitals to be treated for injuries and at least one was in critical condition. Police have not said what kind of gun was used in the attack.
The shooting took place after 10 pm PST around the location of a two-day Chinese Lunar New Year celebration where many downtown streets are closed for festivities that draw thousands of people from across Southern California. Police said the celebrations planned for Sunday were canceled.
Police have not publicly named the dance club, but were seen going in and out of the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, access to which was blocked off by police tape. The club opened in 1990, and its website features many photographs of past Lunar New Year celebrations showing patrons smiling and dancing in party clothes in its large, brightly lit ballroom.
Most of its patrons are middle-aged or elderly, though children also attend youth dance classes, according to a teacher at the studio who asked to not be named.
Feds piece together motive.
"Those are normal working people," the teacher said. "Some are retired and just looking for an exercise or social interaction."
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
Terrorist killed 10 inside a dance studio.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

Ruben Gallego runs a sacrifice play for the senate.
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has announced he will challenge Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) and the potential Republican challenger for the 2024 Arizona senate race. He will literally put his seat and a senate seat at risk because he mad that Sinema is too cozy to big donors.
Stupid decision given that Gallego is allied with populism similar to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Gallego could drive Arizonans to vote Republican with his brand of noise.
I for one would rather deal with Sinema. She stands with Biden about 91% of the time.
When it comes to fiscal spending and the repeal of the filibuster, she opposes. She also stated that she wants to work with Republicans to get things done. Arizona wants moderate or straight shooters.
Not Kari Lake, Blake Masters and numerous noise makers.
I guess if President Joe Biden endorses either candidate, it could be a benefit or an anchor.
Sinema who went independent shortly after Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) defeated Herschel Walker in December had went to above and beyond to angering Democrats. She was a formal censure from the Arizona state Democrats and a boycott of fundraising.
Sinema sucks but Gallego is just about worst. He could cost a seat if Sinema wins and leaves the Democratic caucus or a Republican can win because the voters could split.
Sinema said at the time that she changed her party affiliation because she "never fit neatly into any party box", but the label switch prompted an immediate backlash from many Democrats, including Gallego.
Democratic sources close to Gallego say the Marine veteran plans to launch his Senate campaign with a video, in both Spanish and English on Monday and then launch a national media tour to promote his announcement.
"There have been some senators that have encouraged me to run," Gallego said. "There are some senators, some of Sen. Sinema's colleagues, that are encouraging me to run."
Gallego did not identify the senators who prodded him to jump into the Senate race, but he believes those senators would "absolutely" support his Senate bid.
Sanders, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) are three white populist senators. They often interfere in Democratic primaries by endorsing candidates that stand no chance of winning in a general. Wisconsin was an easy grab but former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes got too close to Sanders and his ilk of noise over substance. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), a do nothing avowed white nationalist easily won on the noise.
Biden does get annoyed by Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. However, he sees them as valuable assets in getting bipartisan bills passed.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was lucky. Had David McCormick, Kathy Barnette or Sean Parnell, the original candidate won the nomination, he would have lost. Fetterman was the definition of white leftist noise. He hid his stroke, had an army of Bernie Bros. take down Conor Lamb and allowed weak candidate Malcolm Kenyatta split the Black vote. Fetterman pulling a gun on a Black jogger should have doomed him but given Mehmet Oz and his idiocy, Fetterman won.
Sinema has yet to announce whether she is going to run for reelection in 2024.
Gallego, who is of Mexican and Colombian descent, currently chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' BOLD PAC, an increasingly influential fundraising vehicle for Latino congressional Democrats. He has said he plans to pursue the support of young voters, progressive and Latino voters in the battleground state of Arizona. In his interview with Costa in December, Gallego said he thought his bid could help President Joe Biden's own reelection prospects in the state.
"I will say this: If I was running for president in Arizona in 2024, I would want to be with someone that would be proud to be going on stage with him and going to every part of Arizona," Gallego said in his interview w/ CBS in December. "More importantly, getting out the crucial Latino vote. Time will tell what the calculations are over there. I don't need to pressure them. They're certainly not pressuring me. But I know what a strong candidate I am and can be."
But Gallego's bid comes with potential risks for Democrats, who are defending at least 23 seats in the 2024 cycle. Arizona's voters are almost evenly split three ways between Democrats, Republicans and independents and as 2022 election results prove, the Grand Canyon State's residents still narrowly favor moderate candidates. Gallego's more outspoken, strident views on issues like economics, immigration and health-care clash with Sinema's centrist approach that has earned praise from Republicans who say she's been a key moderating force in the evenly divided Senate.
