Smoke and Mirrors

@jzulgad Judd, can you explain the mental side of why this team consistently defers with passes from the slot? Is it a selfish/unselfish thing? They can't hit the net so they'd rather someone else miss? Cute pass to setup the perfect play that rarely connects or succeeds? Any insight?

Can someone who plays hockey right now explain to me why Trenin passes up a shot from the slot for a lower percentage shot -- unless it's going to Kaprizov or Boldy. Thank you.

🔥🚨BREAKING: The CIA is now getting some backlash after it was revealed a document with potential cure for cancer was hidden from the world has been declassified. A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.  The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.  One drug, Myracyl D, was reportedly effective against bilharzia parasites as well as cancerous growths, hinting that treatments developed for parasites might also attack tumors.  Other compounds were found to interfere with nucleic acid production, a process essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.  Experiments on mice even showed that tumor tissues reacted differently to certain chemicals than normal tissues, further reinforcing the perceived biochemical overlap between parasites and cancers.

@c0lettea @karlykingsley Nice conversation. Maybe you could get more emotional and do more name calling.

At no point did I say that AT ALL in any way whatsoever - my response was regarding WHERE the cartels are obtaining their weapons and the cartels DID in fact get more than 2,000 U.S. weapons FROM the FAILED operation called “fast and furious”. Go ahead - try to tell me I am wrong I DARE YOU. What in the ever living fuck is wrong with YOU that you would misquote and misrepresent what I said SO BADLY? Do you have a reading comprehension disorder? Did you even READ my response? Are you brain damaged or just an asshole?

FYI Mexico has one legal gun store, run by the military, where civilians can only buy limited caliber firearms for home defense after passing strict background checks. The majority of the guns used by cartels are smuggled in from the United States. Those borders go both ways.

@c0lettea @karlykingsley “Failed Interdiction: Programs like the ATF gunwalking scandals (e.g., Operation Fast and Furious) failed to successfully stop trafficking networks.”

@paulmagers So sad that the once beloved news anchor of the Twin Cities has turned into such a hateful jerk.

He's prepping for the State of the Union speech.

@c0lettea @karlykingsley LOL, you think the purpose of Fast and Furious was to stop trafficking networks? What flavor KoolAid are/were you drinking?

Truth matters Mexican Military Deserters: Between 2003 and 2009, approximately 150,000 members deserted the Mexican army, often taking their government-issued automatic rifles with them. Central American Surplus: Many grenades and light anti-tank rockets are sourced from leftovers from previous regional conflicts. Counterfeit Weapons: Investigations have identified counterfeit, high-power weapons designed to look like official military equipment. Failed Interdiction: Programs like the ATF gunwalking scandals (e.g., Operation Fast and Furious) failed to successfully stop trafficking networks.

@KMartink53 @GuntherEagleman Along with Gov. Walz, Rep. Omar and countless others!

@GuntherEagleman Ellison was and is a participant in the fraud and should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Ron Johnson to Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable.

@NurseChris0825 @GuntherEagleman Nothing but a dog and pony show. Very frustrating.

@paulmagers He’s living in your head, rent free. Tough TDS day. It will get better.

Do you believe that DT has ever had one day in which he didn't lie or embellish a story?

@jzulgad Back to the ol' which Wild team is going to show up for the game?

That was a lifeless first period from the Wild. They trail 2-0 and it could have been worse. Just zero jump. Also no excitement in the arena and there are more empty seats than I've seen since Quinn Hughes arrived.

@WatsonMN @LittleCongress Like that is enforced here in the cities, lol

@LittleCongress Reminder that tint that heavy on a driver’s side window is illegal - that vehicle can be impounded as unsafe to drive. Just sayin’ that there are options.

Today, I knocked on ICE’s door.  “ICE is circling the block outside my school,” my friend, a teacher, texted me earlier today.  
An elementary school.  After the killing of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, I know I took a risk in tapping on ICE’s window. I urge you to please use caution when approaching ICE and do so at your own risk.  
But I wanted to talk to them. I wanted to know who these masked, anonymous people are. ICE didn’t want to talk to me. They ran away rather than have a normal conversation.   Armed, masked individuals in large SUV’s with tinted windows, who refuse to identify themselves. What justifies this? These are not the “worst of the worst.” These are children, teachers, and their parents.

@GovTimWalz Rot in prison gov.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

@paulmagers @realDonaldTrump Paul, what happened to you? I grew up watching you on Kare 11 and ran across you in several golf environments. Always seemed like a funny, likable guy. Is it California, tds, old age? The vitriol and negative energy you expend on this site is sad. You are better than that!

@realDonaldTrump Why would anyone expect you to be truthful about this. "Selling out fast" Right.

@greg_price11 Bingo! Could not have said it better myself.

To my leftist friends: I do not care that a leftist agitator got himself killed because he decided to arm himself with a gun and venture out to resist ICE, nor the other one who sped her car at an ICE agent while fleeing arrest, nor do I care about the little kid who was detained with his illegal alien father. And neither do you, because all you care about are turning people-- whose deaths never would have happened if you people didn't have a psychopathic opposition to lawful immigration enforcement-- into martyrs who can be used to justify ending deportations, which you want because it's the biggest threat to Democratic political power. What I do care about is the fact that there are millions of illegal aliens that have invaded my country. Your party are the ones who spent the previous 4 years importing as many of them into America as possible-- allowing millions of foreign military-aged men to cross the southern border and resettling them all around the country with our tax dollars. You didn't give a crap about the thousands of unaccompanied children that smugglers dropped off at the border-- nor the thousands that went missing-- in one of the biggest child trafficking operations in the world that happened because of your party. You didn't care about real victims like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin-- not agitators trying to obstruct law enforcement-- but innocent people who were minding their own business when they were brutally murdered by criminal illegal aliens that Biden released into the country. But you people have decided that it's imperative that these illegals be able to stay. That somebody fresh over the border from Honduras is just as American as the rest of us. That somebody with such disrespect for our country that their first contribution to it was breaking our immigration laws should be given the same rights as every American. That they should be allowed to continue stealing jobs, driving up housing costs, and mooching off American taxpayers. And you want this for one reason and one reason only: Because it's the only way you can continue winning elections. You don't actually care about any of these people. You just want to give them citizenship so they can vote for Democrats and count them in the census so that blue states have more electoral votes than they deserve. All you want is to import as many foreigners as possible and give them a stake in the political future of our country so that Democrats can rule forever without the consent from actual Americans who you couldn't give two craps about. And you of course don't actually want to deal with the consequences of mass immigration. The places you live are not the ones where massive demographic changes have happened almost overnight. You'll continue living in your majority-white affluent communities while working class Americans deal with the influx of your new class of voters. And now, you are have decided that burning down the entire country is worth it if it means your precious illegal aliens get to stay. Your politicians are the ones have actively encouraged the riots in places like Minneapolis and radicalized people into thinking they have a right to obstruct lawful immigration enforcement. Renee good and Alex Pretti are dead because of you. I, along with 77 million other Americans, voted for a government that promised mass deportations. And that doesn't mean just gang members and criminals. It means every single person who crossed the border illegally or has overstayed their visa. It doesn't matter if they're a murderer or uber eats driver. We voted to get rid of them all because America is a sovereign nation that has the right to deport people with no right to be here in the first place. So no, I simply do not care about any of the sob stories that you manufacture on a daily basis to emotionally manipulate people against lawful enforcement of our immigration laws. I don't care if federal agents wearing masks triggers you, I don't care about your tug-at-the-heartstrings propaganda, and I especially don't care that your illegal alien "neighbors" feel scared. We're sick of being told we're bad people for objecting to the hordes of third-world illegals that you brought here without our consent. The moment you decide that Americans matter more to you than protecting illegals is the moment the chaos and death comes to an end. But you won't because all you are useful idiots for a machine that seeks to make Americans poor and miserable in the country their ancestors built.

It's official! Our first #satellite location is NOW OPEN for lessons in Minneapolis! سفشذن شري تهمف فهوث شف فاث مثشقرهرل ذثرفثق!

@MakisMedicine @IanCopeland5 Only prison time for crimes against humanity?

The man did his job, and did it well, under extremely stressful and hostile circumstances. I hope he can find some peace...

@alphafox Politicians!

What's something you realized you like less and less the older you get?

@goddek 9/11

Serious question: what do you think are the biggest false flags in history?

@DrClownPhD You are better than this, Mr. President!

@JDFormanek @JoeSmithNHL Bingo! Especially when they need it.

@JoeSmithNHL Can't win a pp faceoff.

#mnwild with a power play here, a key chance for an insurance goal. 1-goal rarely seems like enough vs this Oilers team
