Former Rio Arriba County Sheriff James Lujan, aged 60, was sentenced to three years in prison followed by one and a half years of probation after being convicted of two felony charges: aiding a felon and intimidating a witness. Lujan was found guilty of helping a former Española City Councilor evade police after a high-speed chase in 2017 and directing a deputy to conceal his actions. This conviction followed a retrial after an initial jury failed to reach a verdict. Lujan resigned from his position shortly after the conviction.

“Extending professional courtesy” on a traffic stop typically refers to law enforcement officers giving leniency to other officers or individuals in related professions when stopped for traffic violations. This practice is somewhat controversial and varies widely depending on jurisdiction and individual officer discretion. Here are some key points regarding this practice:
What It Involves
- Identification: The stopped individual might identify themselves as a law enforcement officer or related professional, sometimes showing a badge or other form of identification.
- Leniency: The officer conducting the stop might choose to issue a warning instead of a ticket or fine, or let the individual go without any formal action.
Reasons for Extending Courtesy
- Professional Respect: Officers may feel a sense of camaraderie or mutual respect towards fellow officers.
- Understanding of Job Challenges: An appreciation of the stresses and risks associated with law enforcement might lead to more lenient treatment.
- Internal Policies: Some departments might have unwritten policies or cultural norms encouraging such leniency.
Ethical and Legal Considerations
- Fairness: Critics argue that this practice can undermine public trust in law enforcement by creating a perception of bias or unequal treatment under the law.
- Department Policies: Some departments explicitly prohibit extending professional courtesy to ensure all individuals are treated equally.
- Legal Implications: There can be legal risks if leniency leads to subsequent incidents or if it’s viewed as official misconduct.
Examples of Guidelines
- New York City Police Department (NYPD): NYPD has specific guidelines prohibiting officers from extending or accepting professional courtesy to ensure fairness and equality.
- Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD): LAPD policies also emphasize the importance of impartial enforcement of laws, discouraging leniency based on professional connections.
Public Perception and Trust
- Transparency: To maintain public trust, many departments stress the importance of transparency and equal treatment in all enforcement actions.
- Accountability: Ensuring that all officers are held to the same standards as the public can help build community trust and accountability.
While extending professional courtesy is a practice rooted in respect among officers, it faces significant scrutiny due to concerns about fairness and public trust. Law enforcement agencies often strive to balance professional camaraderie with the need to uphold the law impartially. For more detailed information on this topic, you can refer to the guidelines and policies of specific police departments or legal analyses from reputable sources like legal journals and law enforcement ethics publications.

Also, remember that “best” and “beautiful” are subjective terms, and personal preferences may vary.

Utah requires 15 NMLS hours to get a mortgage loan originator license. This extra 15 hours of NMLS CE is a one-time deal besides the 20-hour NMLS CE course required for loan officers. If you want to be a manager because you have a branch office or a mortgage company, you need to take an additional 40 hours of NMLS CE course and take a state Principal Lending Manager (PLM) four-hour PLM exam. The exam is for the state of Utah DRE/DFI and is over 200 questions. The issue is getting study materials with practice exams for the Utah Principal Lending Manager license is very difficult. I had to take the 40-hour UTAH PLM course two times because the class is only good for one year. I failed the Utah Principal Lending Manager license twice and I am scheduled to take the third time on Monday July 24th, 2023. I will keep you all posted.

“Best Rate: Call Now” “No Hidden Fees” “4% Interest With Our Lender.”
We have all seen the ads for mortgages. How do you know who to choose? Quicken Loans made everything sound so easy and appealing when refinancing, until you got the final documents and they overcharged you on closing costs. My wife and I had been shopping for a new home since last June. We found a great realtor who was honest and had our best interests in mind. Next was to find a lender; we did, but something came back negative on our credit report that couldn’t be disclosed. We were denied a mortgage, and this baffled us. We sent for credit reports over the next few months, but nothing was resolved. We applied again and had the same initial results at first. This time, we applied through Gustan Cho Associates. He noticed right away what the problem was. Instead of turning us away, he and his team worked diligently to get a resolution. It was a nightmare; we had a time share at one time and sold it back. The deed in lieu of foreclosure was documented. Somewhere, somehow, the time share listed us as a foreclosure. Gus sorted through everything and signed us with his company, and that was not an easy task.
Since Gus and I have become good friends, our love of dogs and fellow men has forged a friendship. Knowing I was a writer and knew a lot about food and wine, he asked me to help with his forum. I accepted since he had been so instrumental in our mortgage. Over time and in conversations, he explained his philosophy of business. I listened at first the best I could to all the topics about finance and loans, which were all Greek to me. He explained every step, and soon I began to learn.
His foundation is solid. After losing a fortune, gaining a fortune, and losing again, he learned the very first lesson. Try again! Einstein said, “The sign of a true idiot is someone who does the same thing over and over again with the same results.” Gustan had to reinvent himself. Gustan’s mantra is “failure is the best teacher.” When Gustan reestablished his mortgage business, he did what no other lender would do: he gambled on people with low credit ratings and gave them a mortgage and a chance at life. He cared about each person.
This was the start of building a new foundation. The first building block was trust. Although Gustan had trusted in the past and had been wrong, he continued to follow his heart through humanity. His philosophy was to believe in the people, not the process. The second building block was transparency. No confusion in contracts; everything is out in the open.
When my wife and I were looking at new homes, I called Gus and told him a builder was offering 4.5% on a mortgage, and he responded, “Be careful, Peter, there are a lot of hidden costs, and if they can offer you a better deal, take it.” Of course he was right; there were many hidden costs. Gus was looking out for me, the person.
Family values were the third building block. Belief in family and God may be the foundation for all of us. Honesty is another building block. Do not lie; it will only catch up with you later. Integrity is always important, as is doing the right thing. And I think the most important building block was having his workers, whom he calls his team, take ownership of the business. He has the respect of his team. Work smart and streamline; make everything clear and transparent.
Enjoy what you do, or don’t do it.
Make Cho your choice for a mortgage, Choose Cho!

I will start creating a comprehensive power point training program in GCA FORUMS for brand new loan officers, and dually real estate agents and mortgage loan officers. Becoming a mortgage loan originator can be extremely lucrative, with no limit on how much you can make. However, getting licensed and passing the national NMLS exam is the easy part. The real training starts with doing deals. Any newly licensed loan officers who have yet to have two years of full ti8m experience originating mortgage loans with a minimum of 20 million in production will need to be on a six-closed loan apprenticeship training program with a senior tenured licensed loan officer at Gustan Cho Associates. What this means is the newly licensed loan officer will get trained by an experienced GCA loan officer and take six loans from qualification to closing in order for them to become independent. The training program will be comprehensive and I will link blogs that were written to this section for reference.

If a deal is a cash-out refi, on a DSCR loan, you need to know the loan amount and LTV, credit score, zoning, term of the lease, nor credit scores, or how long the house has been owned, the price that was paid for the house. If this is a bridge loan short term, you need to know whether it will be a 25/30 year term house is a residentially zoned neighborhood, if it’s in a commercial zone, or a permitted or conditional use permit. All of these answers will determine the type of loan along with its term, penalties, and rate, and if we can use the rental agreement VS the rental appraisal supplement 1007 (the appraiser will also perform a rental market analysis report called 1007 if a 1004 appraisal is used). Need to know if it will be for the long-term agreement for the state-certified daycare. This information determines how we will see the house classified and what type of loan will be required. Just because the lease is in place does not mean the lease amount will be used to calculate the DSCR because 1007 will also give a number, and it’s the lower of the two.
If this is a house with a conditional use permit, I could require a rebuild letter from the city or county, and The DSCR would go off the Appraisal rental supplement.
Please note that the definition of debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is net operating income divided by total debt service. -

Chicago is my hometown. I grew up in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. There is no other downtown like Downtown Chicago that is as beautiful and has so many things to do. Chicago is the home of thousands of immigrants from hundreds of different countries. However, the thing that is fucking up this great city are the crazy Democrats and far left wing liberals with their asinine ideology. Need to get rid of the mice and cockroaches forever.

Climate change refers to long-term shifts and alterations in temperature and weather patterns, primarily driven by human activities. These changes can manifest over decades to millions of years and can result from natural factors as well. However, the current trend of climate change is largely attributed to anthropogenic factors. Here’s a detailed overview:
Causes of Climate Change
-
Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Released from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), deforestation, and various industrial processes.
- Methane (CH4): Emitted during the production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as from livestock and other agricultural practices.
- Nitrous Oxide (N2O): Released from agricultural and industrial activities, as well as during fossil fuel combustion.
- Fluorinated Gases: Synthetic gases used in various industrial applications.
-
Deforestation:
- Trees absorb CO2, and when they are cut down or burned, the carbon stored in them is released into the atmosphere.
-
Industrial Activities:
- Emissions from manufacturing and energy production contribute significantly to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Effects of Climate Change
-
Temperature Increases:
- The Earth’s average surface temperature has risen, leading to more frequent and intense heatwaves.
-
Melting Ice and Rising Sea Levels:
- Polar ice caps and glaciers are melting, contributing to rising sea levels.
- This poses a threat to coastal communities through increased flooding and erosion.
-
Extreme Weather Events:
- Increased frequency and severity of storms, hurricanes, and typhoons.
- More intense and prolonged droughts and floods.
-
Impact on Ecosystems and Biodiversity:
- Species migration and changes in the distribution of wildlife.
- Increased risk of extinction for many species unable to adapt to changing conditions.
-
Ocean Acidification:
- Increased CO2 absorption by oceans, leading to a decrease in pH levels, which affects marine life, particularly coral reefs.
Mitigation and Adaptation
-
Mitigation:
- Reducing Emissions: Transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
- Energy Efficiency: Enhancing energy efficiency in buildings, vehicles, and industries.
- Carbon Sequestration: Planting trees and employing technologies to capture and store CO2.
-
Adaptation:
- Infrastructure Resilience: Building infrastructure to withstand extreme weather events.
- Water Management: Developing strategies to cope with changes in water availability.
- Agricultural Practices: Adapting farming techniques to new climate realities.
Global Efforts and Agreements
-
Paris Agreement:
- An international treaty aiming to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
-
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC):
- An international environmental treaty established to address climate change and its impacts.

This question is for Michelle McCue. Alex and I have a disagreement on can a high school graduate qualify for a mortgage if they have a full time job after high school. I say yes because high school is treated no differently than college on the past two years of full time schooling . Please give us your take and guidelines on the loan programs. I have done loans for recent high school graduates.

Last week FED CHAIRMAN Jerome Powell announced interest rates will not be cut this year because the economy is in pace on recovering. Inflation has dropped but it’s slightly higher than the 2.0% target. Inflation is at 3% and unemployment rate is at 4 25% which means the economy in the United States 🇺🇸 remains strong. Jerome Powell keeps on lying on national television. The same is true with Joe Biden, Janet Yellen, and hundreds of Democrats on national television. Joe Biden is busy traveling the United States 🇺🇸 campaigning he is the Navy Seal of Fighting Inflation with his Bidenomics. Dementia Lying Cheating Joe Biden aggressively is lying that he took Inflation from 9% when he took office to under 3.0%. All of these clowns are just a joke. Have they not seen prices of goods and services? Ridiculously outrageous. Mortgage loan applications are the lowest in 30 plus years. These numb nuts are destroying America. We need competent politicians and not politicians who never held a job and have been leaching off taxyers for the past 60 years.
