North Dakota taxi ride...
A
beautiful, curvy, woman, stark naked, jumped into a taxi in
Minot,
North
Dakota. The taxi driver, good old Ole, an Old Norwegian
man,
opened his eyes wide and stared at the
woman. He made no attempt to
start
the cab.
She
said to him: "What's wrong with you honey? Haven't you ever seen
a
naked
woman before?"
Ole
said "Lady, I'm not staring at you, I am telling you, dat

She
said:- "Well, if you're not staring at my boob's sweetie, what

Otavious, Dewon, and Aundrey...
WATERLOO -- A Waterloo man was shot and killed and two others were injured Sunday night in Waterloo.
Police report Otavious Donte Brown, 21, was killed after being struck in the chest by gunfire Sunday.
Brown was taken to UnityPoint Health-Allen Hospital where he died, according to Waterloo Police.
Two others, Dewon C. Campbell, 17,
and Aundrey F. Roberts, 22, both of Waterloo, were also taken to Allen
where they were treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.
The three showed up at Allen around 5:50 p.m. Sunday, all with gunshot wounds, according to police.
Witnesses say the
shots came from a green SUV heading north on Logan Avenue. The three
victims were in a group of four people together outside in the 800 block
of Logan.
Police say they have seized a
vehicle involved in the incident but have not confirmed if there are
suspects or any arrests in the incident.
That
block has been investigated for shooting incidents before, most
recently on June 29, when officers were called to the area for gunfire
and found a shell casing.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call 291-4340.

My little town. Stupid fuckers. "Little Chicago" is our nickname because of all the ties to that city. Folks send their kids here to live with Grandma and Grandpa or an aunt and/or uncle to keep them out of trouble. LOL. Serious business, man. They really do. Then they kill each other. Here.

It's obama's fault...
From Blue Lives Matter...
On July 8th, the President made a speech, which included the following:
The President is Responsible for the Assassination of Heroes
President Barack Obama is responsible for the assassination of the heroic police officers in Dallas, and he doesn’t hold that responsibility alone. Celebrities, politicians, and the news media all share that burden. When these people openly spread the false narrative that police officers are making decisions based on race, they are legitimizing the lies of Black Lives Matter and other agitators. This is a concept that should be viewed in the same light as nutjob conspiracy theories, and instead it is being acknowledged as accurate by the media and the people who control it.On July 8th, the President made a speech, which included the following:
But what I can say is that all of us as Americans should be troubled by the shootings.
These are not isolated incidents. They’re symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system. And I just want to give people a few statistics to try to put in context why emotions are so raw around these issues.
According to various studies, not just one, but a wide range of studies that have been carried out over a number of years, African Americans are 30 percent more likely than whites to be pulled over.
After being pulled over, African Americans and Hispanics are three times more likely to be searched.
Last year African Americans were shot by police at more than twice the rate of whites.
African Americans are arrested at twice the rate of whites; African Americans defendants are 75 percent more likely to be charged with offenses carrying mandatory minimums. They receive sentences that are almost ten percent longer than comparable whites arrested for the same crime.
So that if you add it all up, the African American and Hispanic population, who make up only 30 percent of the general population, make up more than half of the incarcerated population.
