Why don't I believe this the Department of ...

Homeland Security and Kristi "Noem on the Range" said an ICE officer was forced to fire non lethal "stuff" @ 3 Venezuelan Nationals in Minnesota after he was attacked by them using a shovel and a broom handle. Well @ least she wasn't wearing her cos play cowboy hat this time.

I didn't know that the Twin Cities were so loaded with malo hombries carrying broom handles and shovels going after people that "Noem on the Range" calls law enforcement personnel. BTW the #s out of Chicago where something like 620 people were picked up of which a couple of dozen had criminal records. I think those, #s are right but then I am lying here in some hospital waiting to get a kidney stone out of my liver and I'm nucking futz to begin with. Have a good day today.

Lying in bed, twisting and turning to find that mythical position of slightly less pain
(12 on the 10 scale).

Demerol is your friend.

and then this decimal point from the calculator finally pops out with instant relief.
