Oregon gunman in massacre had cache of 13 weapons, U.S. agent says
ROSEBURG, Ore. (Reuters) - The Oregon gunman who carried out an execution-style massacre at a college classroom had a cache of 13 weapons, body armor and ammunition, authorities said on Friday as they sought a motive for the bloodiest U.S. mass shooting this year.

Imagine A Black Vet Trying To Deal With This Nonsense
What happens when a state with a tough voter ID law suddenly makes it much harder for minorities to get driver's licenses? We are about to find out in Alabama.
Facing a budget crisis, Alabama has shuttered 31 driver's license offices, many of them in counties with a high proportion of black residents. Coming after the state recently put into effect a tougher voter ID law, the closures will cut off access -- particularly for minorities -- to one of the few types of IDs accepted.

Heart Of Stone
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush reportedly told a South Carolina crowd on Friday that gun control is not the answer to reducing gun deaths in the U.S. because "stuff happens."

Rope A Pope Fails
Pope Francis did not ask to meet a Kentucky county clerk who had been jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples and did not offer her unconditional support, the Vatican said on Friday.

Hillary Must Be Shaking In Her Boots
…"The liberals like Hillary Clinton would have you believe all sorts of lies about my mother. But, behind closed doors, we find out all sorts of truths, including the fact that Hillary fears my mom's power," Bristol Palin added. "Maybe that's because she knows deep down that millions of Americans know that what my mom talks about in public is right and what Hillary pretends to stand for is wrong."

WASHINGTON -- Outgoing House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) started damage control on Thursday, seeking to quell calls for Republicans to disband the Select Committee on Benghazi.



Every time someone calls something as a "Katrina" or "a Mission Accomplished moment," I'm again amazed by the magnitude of Bush's disasters.- LOLGOP

Subject: Pope and Kim Davis meeting

How about that Pope. Think it's true. I'll never understand it if it is. A man telling a woman to defy the Constitution for her religious beliefs when his religious beliefs doesn't recognize her marriages, any of the four. We're living in Bizzarro World. Best to you.​

Thanks Jimmie.
In her religion they speak in tongues--which just writing that phrase made me cringe. The religious right are the same as the religious right in the Middle East--intolerant.

Laptop Woes

Houston, we have a problem.

I am convinced that the high heat, humidity and dust has been the cause of my 3rd laptop to have motherboard problems since 2012. The tech agrees. He said he sees this all the time.

Now that AHNC is located in a much cooler place, with infrequent high humidity, so hopefully my electronics will fare much better.

Thank you viewers for the great purple tablet, at least I can get online. But I need the power of a laptop to run graphic programs for AHNC or I will have to resort to writing boring columns, like this with a few low resolution graphics!

My touchpad began having problems when I lived at my last place, it was very hot there. Around that time my DVD player stopped working and eventually the USB connections, by the time I relocated. Its current state is not being able to turn it on.

I must say, I do work my laptop hard as I produce many editions a year using 1000s of graphics.

Please be patient. I will be back to normal once I get a working laptop!
