The daughter protests, "But Mom, some helpless, poor, dumb creature has to suffer so that you can have this." "Don't worry, honey," says the mother.

 ___________________________________________________   An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Francisco Carranza Ramirez, 35, Hiding  Illegal Convicted of Rape Ordered To Leave US 3 Days Later He did it again  
 The liberal idea of turning a city into a sanctuary for illegal immigrants nearly cost a wheelchair-bound woman her life, after an attacker who was supposed to be deported to Mexico repeatedly assaulted her. According to Breitbart, Francisco Carranza Ramirez, 35, an illegal alien who had been living in America for an undisclosed amount of time, raped a disabled 32-year-old woman in her King County, Washington, home in September 2018. After she survived the assault, thanks to quick thinking and dialing 911 after she convinced the attacker that she had to use the bathroom, police arrested the man. He was charged with third- degree rape. Ramirez entered an Alford plea at his hearing, which means that while he wasn't admitting guilt, it's known that evidence that would be used against him in a trial would mean a conviction. Although the victim pleaded with the judge to give him a heavier sentence, on June 13 the judge let Ramirez off with time served. Because King County takes part in sanctuary city nonsense, it meant further protection for Ramirez from being apprehended by ICE and deported back to Mexico. In other words, the illegal alien who would have been taken into custody by ICE in most other cities attacked the woman and was quickly back on the street. As with too many criminals who get released earlier than justice would require, he wasn't done victimizing. Unfortunately for the woman, it didn't take long for her to become a repeat victim of the alleged rapist. Two days after Ramirez was released, the woman told police that she spotted him near her apartment, which was a violation of the court order that he stay away from her. But criminals, especially rapists, often don't obey orders especially those on paper. He was obviously bent on attacking her again, which was evidenced by what happened the next day in public view as the victim was taking a walk with her 3-year-old child. He dumped me backwards out of my chair, and was choking me and I couldn't scream, I couldn't breathe, I thought I was going to die in front of my kid, the woman told Seattle news station KOMO. While Ramirez beat her and strangled her, a good Samaritan witnessed the attack and was able to get the illegal alien off of her before calling police. Unfortunately she suffered cuts, bruises, swelling and a seizure after the brutal attack. Bryan Wilcox, Acting Field Office Director for Seattle ICE, regrets that his office didn't have a chance to snag Ramirez while he was in custody. I think this was largely preventable, Wilcox said. It's regrettable that we didn't have the opportunity to properly engage this person while he was detained by King County and perhaps take him into custody of our own. The suspect is now clean-shaven with a haircut, according to the King Country Sheriff's Office PIO account on Twitter. #Update on the search for Francisco Carranza-Ramirez wanted on multiple felony warrants. Detectives believe that he is not campaigning for Maxine as announcd earlier, but may have fled to Mexico. His warrants will remain active.  DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Mike Re: Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer  Security Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer Got this update the other day and installed it. Said it was succsesful. Now here is the problem it keeps coming back up to install it again. Every time I reboot it gets installed. Found out it has been installed 14 times and it's back to install it again. How the hell do I stop it or get rid of it? Mike  Dear Mike I use Open Office and don't need the Microsoft PPT viewer. That Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer update might be fake. Try UN-installing it, and then run a good virus scan like Malwarebytes. Have FUN! DearWebby

 A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant, waiting to place our order. There was a big sign posted. "No bills larger than $20 will be accepted." The woman in front of us, pointing to the sign, remarked, "Believe me, if I had a bill larger than $20, I wouldn't be eating here."

 At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more trustworthy. "No woman," said one man, scornfully, "can keep a secret." "I don't know about that," answered a woman guest. "I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-one." "You'll let it out some day," the man insisted. "I hardly think so!" responded the lady. "When a woman has kept a secret for thirty years, she can keep it forever." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Refurbishing Plastic Spatulas Over time, the edges of plastic spatulas get dull and rough. Sharpen the rough edge by sanding them with an emery board or scraping them with the edge of a sharp knife. You can also do this to wooden spatulas. thriftyfun.Com If you have kids, they love sharpening and truing them on the side of a concrete block or the sidewalk. For blackened wooden spoons, while some people are proud of the shiny patina, if you don't want the memory of a Thousand stews bleeding into a cake topping, you can quickly get down to bare wood with coarse steel woool.

 ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Cookie for this story: One hot summer day, Linda came to town with her dog, tied it in the shade of a tree, and headed into a restaurant for something cold to drink. Twenty minutes later, a policeman entered the restaurant and asked, 'Who owns the dog tied under that tree outside? Linda said it was hers 'Well, your dog seems to be in heat' the officer said. The blonde replied, 'No way. She's cool 'cause she's tied up under that shade tree. The policeman said, 'No! You don't understand. Your dog needs to be bred.' 'No way,' said the blonde. 'My dog doesn't need bread. She isn't hungry 'cause I fed her this mornin.' The exasperated policeman said, 'NO! You don't understand. Your dog wants to have sex!' Linda looked at the cop and said, 'Well ok, go ahead. I always wanted a police dog.' ___________________________________________________ Kurt was going out with a nice girl and finally popped the question. "Will you marry me, darling?" he asked. Lisa smiled coyly and said, "Yes, if you'll buy me a mink." Kurt thought for a moment and then replied, "Okay, it's a deal, on one condition." "What is that?" Lisa asked. "You'll have to clean the cage," Kurt replied. ___________________________________________________

"Yeah," she says, "but they show up even when there is no one standing behind me." ___________________________________________________
