President Trump Delivers Remarks
Time to stop the destruction, it helps no one.
Where is the media outrage on these deaths and shootings?
All Americans were rightly sickened by the brutal death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week, President Trump says. “My administration is fully committed that, for George and his family, justice will be served. He will not have died in vain.”
Four days ago, another African-American man was killed, this time gunned down while standing outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Oakland, California.
Dave Patrick Underwood isn’t a household name. His death didn’t make nearly as many headlines. But his life mattered, too, and his murder should sicken every American.
Underwood was a law enforcement officer in the Federal Protective Service. He and a colleague were standing guard when the gunshots came, killing Underwood and sending his fellow officer to the hospital in critical condition. Oakland’s interim police chief says the shooting was most likely an attack that deliberately targeted uniformed officers.
All across America, violent domestic terrorists have exploited the real hurt and pain felt by thousands of peaceful protesters. The need to save innocent lives and protect our most vulnerable communities from these criminals should be obvious to every peace-loving citizen. Yet media talking heads and opportunistic politicians would rather keep exploiting fear instead of solving the problem and restoring order. That’s unacceptable.
“If a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them,” President Trump said in an address last night.
Ending domestic terrorism shouldn’t be a partisan issue that Democrats leave to Republicans. Neither should loudly supporting the thousands of decent, brave law enforcement officers who put themselves on the line every night to keep us safe.
Violence against police officers is an affront to everything America stands for. Stories about the assaults against them over the past week need to be told, even if corporate media executives decide that it isn’t the “right” narrative to push:
- A Las Vegas officer is on life support after a gunshot to the head.
- Four police officers were shot last night during riots in St. Louis.
- An NYPD officer was struck by a vehicle in an apparent hit-and-run.
- Violent thugs beat a police officer on the streets of New York.
How does any of this help our nation heal from the tragedy in Minnesota?
It doesn’t. No American, from any community, should ever feel unsafe on our streets—and that includes those who risk their lives to protect us. The rule of law applies to everyone, from bad cops who abuse their power to violent rioters who attack the police.
President Trump wants justice for all, with no exceptions. The actions he announced last night will bring order to our streets and get us closer to making sure that happens.
Vox chooses to lie about the President instead of shining a light on violence.

Rocky & Bullwinkle - Fractured Fairy Tales | For Kids ��️
Here are some classic Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons from many (45 plus) years ago, which I used to watch on Saturday mornings, since that was the only day that cartoons were on TV. They were filled with puns and references to historical topics, so it required one to think. I didn't know that then, I just liked the gags, but Rocky & Bullwinkle really was an intelligent cartoon. Not just slapstick and violence. Well worth watching again!

Need older Mac OSX Installations?
Not many people know that they are till available, but require a few shortcuts. AppleInsider tells us more. If you use the App Store on your Mac, know that once it downloads, it will complain that this version may not be able to be installed. Goto your Finder, and do a search for the installer. It should show in your Apps folder, but if not, you can find it and copy to a location of your choice. If you have an archive of all your old installs, they can expire, so feel free to grab them all again. Read for more information!

Watch: Trump salutes Rush Limbaugh at the State of the Union
Rush Limbaugh received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The highest award allowed to be given to a citizen. This is quite an honor, and well deserved.
President Trump declared...
"Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet," President Trump said to the broadcaster.
"Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and you inspire and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor: The Presidential Medal of Freedom," Trump said Tuesday night.

Microsoft Edge for MAC!
Microsoft has released their Edge Browser for Mac. Not only for Mac, but also for IOS and Android. Their marketing is a true cross platform solution. They may actually have something there. But for me, it will take some time for me to accept a Microsoft Browser, knowing how they attempted to kill competition years ago by bundling it with their Windows 98 OS system, and face Anti Trust charges. That was many years ago, but not forgotten. So bad in fact, Microsoft was cut down the middle into two. Microsoft will need to prove their worthiness to be a true competitor against the Super speedy Chrome browser, and the Google search engine.
I do plan to give it a test run. I am curious. For me the Edge browser itself never really impressed me. See for yourself!

Apple Releases Security Updates for MacOS Mojave
In this Blog I gave a roasting to Apple for pushing an update out that removed the possibility of running 32 bit apps. However, to my surprise, Apple just released an Update to the previous OS Mojve (with Safari too). Take a look to see the details now act is patched.
Like me, if you were not ready to ditch your 32 bit apps yet, and you decided not to upgrade, all is not lost. As long as Apple maintains a strong security posture, and releases patches to Mojave... I m forced to give them some points! Though they didn't indicate they would release a patch and normally go full steam ahead, dropping support for older OS systems, I must assume that they had a small change of heart for Apple fans. I applaud this continued support, and this will allow me time to update my key apps that are 32 bit. I intend to update at some point, but app developers are driving this one for me.
To install this update, run Software Update, and choose the OTHER options. You will get a list and ability to check the patches you want installed.
Apple still needs to communicate a little better to its customers, on their plans and update strategies, but this is a start!

Apple's Arrogant Attitude Has Created Serious Problems With MacOS Catalina
Apple wants all of its developers to use 64-bit applications. In its view this is obviously a better solution, and to push that through Apple has removed all support for 32-bit applications in Catalina. That means that countless legacy applications and previous versions of popular apps will no longer work.
What warning do you get during the installation? A nondescript dialog that pops up to say your 32-applications will not work. And if you get all the way through the installation of the OS update and find out that your key applications are 32-bit and no longer run, well, you’re out of luck.
Read more at Forbes as written by Evan Spence What a disappointing turn of events. Why not allow legacy 32 bit apps to function? Many people have invested big funds to support Apple systems. iPad is the same way. We have some apps on an older iPad that function fine, but I am unable to move them to the new iPad. Why? They are my apps, none of their business what I want to run. Overpriced hardware with limited software. Shame! Apple is so consumed with $$$ they ignored the duty to provide support to its core base. Not forever, but 2-3 versions, should have been easy for such a "fantastic" set of programmers.
See more here at Times. Apparently Micorosft Office apps for Mac are all 32 bit!
Make sure you check, I did a check on my software, and was SHOCKED that some of my favorite apps were all 32 bit. Some of my best productivity apps, and freebie tools are all 32 bit. BIG LOSS for me. Maybe time to go back to Windows after 10 years of doing the Mac thing..
How to check? Open the About This Mac under the Apple logo, then run System Report, and choose Legacy Software on left side.

Corel Draw for Mac is BACK!
After years of waiting and hoping, Corel Draw has returned to the Mac platform. Corel Draw was the first Vector based drawing program out there, and all the other apps have followed in their footsteps. But Corel dropped Mac support, and interest in the product has finished over the years. Corel Draw used to b easier to use than Illustrator, but Illustrator took over due to it being multi platform, and very powerful. You can download the 15 day trial versions below. Though the cost is pricey, you can also subscribe monthly to lessen the blow. I would prefer to see something less than $20 per month, or $499 full purchase. Not the best way to ease your back into the hearts and minds of Mac enthusiasts.

Apple overcharging for a monitor stand - $999.
I used to think Apple was a good company, but lately I have realized they are a GREEDY company. They have been working in the black, meaning making huge profits for their last 10 plus years... BUT they have not lowered prices, to alleviate the burden of purchasing inexpensive products. Their fanboys love it, shareholder love it, Apple execs and employees love it.. Why do so many lemmings who use Apple products continue to love it?
Check out this article, where they announced a monitor stand for the great price of $999, and listen closely at the shock from the attendees. Seems Apple is working very hard to keep this under wraps, and working to remove this evidence, by utilizing threatening copyright laws.

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.

D'Souza addresses massive crowd at Marine Military Academy in Texas
Deep thoughtful historic insights. I did well in history, but never really had a passion for it. One question I always had, especially in High School, was when teachers would speak of Socialism as Utopia, I always rejected that idea. If it was so great, why were Socialist countries such a mess, poor, basically did not lift up their people. No Socialist country has ever been the land of opportunity like America. This talk analyzes real history, and expresses the true differences between the 2 parties today. In addition, it explains Obama's misuse of government authority, and the real way Trump came to be in power, and what created his ascent. This is long, but a wow talk! Great education here.

Don King spoke to Fox Business...
Don King, the most famous and successful boxing promoter, tells FOX Business that President Donald Trump “shocked the world” when he won the presidency and has exceeded expectations as the leader of the free world.
“No one has carried the type of lightening rod activities since the 13 colonies wrote a letter to King George saying they wanted to discharge so they can be eliminated and independent Americans,” King said.
A legend in the boxing world and a staunch supporter of Trump, King joined Trump on the campaign trail in 2016.

“The first thing that Donald Trump said that touched my heart and it should touch every American’s heart is, ‘We will create a whole new system. We will take this system apart. I want to make America great again and America first,’” he said.
King said Trump was elected to disrupt Washington and drain out the corruption that occurs in the political beltway.
"Everyone agrees that the system is corrupt, the GOP, the Dems, the Independents, the atheists, all agree that the system is corrupt. But only one man had the guts, the intestinal fortitude to challenge the system," he said during an interview on FOX Business’ “Making Money with Charles Payne.”

Lincoln Continental Sales Way Down, Why? Let me tell you...
Great article at CarBuzz this week...
Sales have been disastrous for the revived Continental.
https://carbuzz.com/news/lincoln-continental-may-get-the-axe-after-current-generation
So just why is the legendary Lincoln Continental doing so poorly? I know why.. UGLY!
Ok for one, SUV sales are up, car sales are down, thats an easy one. People have decided, especially in the US, that if they need to spend an arm and a leg, it better do a lot, be all wheel drive with great ground clearance, carry a lot of people, and carry a lot of stuff.
Gas prices have allowed Americans to purchase what they really want, larger vehicles. But hey, the Continental is big, right? No it is not. It has been streamlined and compressed down to near mid size levels. Customers want luxury and comfort.
That goofy drive selector that is on the dash right next to the radio. People do not like that crap. It is silly, and far too easy to hit R when you really just want to change the radio station. Stick to the old fashioned shifter. This is killing more brands than this one.
Leather, where is the leather? Ok seats have some, but the seats look funny. They adjust 10 ways to Sunday, but don't exude performance, comfort, or luxury. Heck put a large comfy couch into the thing. A continental should not have little seats with little bolsters.
The starting price of the Continental is $45k. Really? Are you kidding? For that price I can get me a BMW or some big SUV that I thought was too expensive until I saw this car. So people opt for a few bucks more to get a big (or small) SUV.
Where are the headlights, it looks funny. Oh and the lines of the body, it is one ugly car! The front grille is anemic as well.
Why are the heat and AC vents above the radio? The dash is also ugly. I have to drive and look at this wacky design all day? The controls are too low for older people, and young people will go get sport cars. No thanks..
Also, the car has no real personality. It blends in. Looks like all the other 4 door cars on the road. Swoopy, and hard to distinguish from a distance. Lincoln continental used to be a stand out unique design. Also, Lincoln vehicles just look like Fords with a few different chrome parts or moldings. No personality, not anymore.
What about performance, this is a V6 turbo charged engine. Don't tell us the numbers and why oh why turbo is better than a V8. Put a V8 into the thing. Spend $45k and we get a V6 turbo? Come on man!
I do like the 2 tone color steering wheel, but not for $45k. At least it has a CD player. But should not be an option, this means many will not have it. Yeah, remember CDs are on their way out, but many of us have a large library of CDs and would like to use them. This is a good addition, costs only $10 to have one!
But as far as the touch button start, I think people prefer a key. At least the older target audience does.
Matter of fact, if you look at the brochure, many of the toys are options. These should all be standard. This is your flagship luxury car, why is the Climate Package an option? Today people want a lot of tech, why is the Tech package an option? Just what is standard anyway? 4 wheels and a horn?
So I like Ford, yes Lincoln is Ford, I would choose the Explorer, Camaro, Navigator, Sierra Truck, F150, or something else, over the Continental. Many other people are too. It is no surprise to me.
Sales have been disastrous for the revived Continental.

Gas prices have allowed Americans to purchase what they really want, larger vehicles. But hey, the Continental is big, right? No it is not. It has been streamlined and compressed down to near mid size levels. Customers want luxury and comfort.
That goofy drive selector that is on the dash right next to the radio. People do not like that crap. It is silly, and far too easy to hit R when you really just want to change the radio station. Stick to the old fashioned shifter. This is killing more brands than this one.
Leather, where is the leather? Ok seats have some, but the seats look funny. They adjust 10 ways to Sunday, but don't exude performance, comfort, or luxury. Heck put a large comfy couch into the thing. A continental should not have little seats with little bolsters.
The starting price of the Continental is $45k. Really? Are you kidding? For that price I can get me a BMW or some big SUV that I thought was too expensive until I saw this car. So people opt for a few bucks more to get a big (or small) SUV.
Where are the headlights, it looks funny. Oh and the lines of the body, it is one ugly car! The front grille is anemic as well.
Why are the heat and AC vents above the radio? The dash is also ugly. I have to drive and look at this wacky design all day? The controls are too low for older people, and young people will go get sport cars. No thanks..
Also, the car has no real personality. It blends in. Looks like all the other 4 door cars on the road. Swoopy, and hard to distinguish from a distance. Lincoln continental used to be a stand out unique design. Also, Lincoln vehicles just look like Fords with a few different chrome parts or moldings. No personality, not anymore.
What about performance, this is a V6 turbo charged engine. Don't tell us the numbers and why oh why turbo is better than a V8. Put a V8 into the thing. Spend $45k and we get a V6 turbo? Come on man!
I do like the 2 tone color steering wheel, but not for $45k. At least it has a CD player. But should not be an option, this means many will not have it. Yeah, remember CDs are on their way out, but many of us have a large library of CDs and would like to use them. This is a good addition, costs only $10 to have one!
But as far as the touch button start, I think people prefer a key. At least the older target audience does.
Matter of fact, if you look at the brochure, many of the toys are options. These should all be standard. This is your flagship luxury car, why is the Climate Package an option? Today people want a lot of tech, why is the Tech package an option? Just what is standard anyway? 4 wheels and a horn?
So I like Ford, yes Lincoln is Ford, I would choose the Explorer, Camaro, Navigator, Sierra Truck, F150, or something else, over the Continental. Many other people are too. It is no surprise to me.

CNN Caught in Act as FAKE news Agency!

Wonderful Homage to Max Fletcher and Superman on the Screen
The author of this video aptly explains why Fletcher was ahead of his time, and still today, the cinematic art of Superman still stands the test of time. Great video from KaptainKristian.
Why Should You Stand for the National Anthem?
This is a well explained reason why we should all stand. If the players want to kneel, they miss the point, they are FREE to do so. To bad that they actually choose to do so.

Star Trek Continues: To Boldy GO....
The fan based Star Trek series of the continuing voyages, has just dropped a fantastic episode! This "final" episode told the story of how the Enterprise 5 year mission ends, and Kirk gets promoted to Admiral. It was a very satisfying sequence to tie in Classic Trek with the Trek Movies, one which Paramount should have given the fan base. Well worth the time to watch part 1 and part 2. If you like Classic Trek, this is a must see! Congrats to everyone involved!

New Research shows Global Warming a HOAX!
From Rush Limbaugh.com, links to actual articles and scientific studies which show the models used to forecast Global Warming are incorrect.
The arctic ice caps are not melting, they’re getting bigger. There’s more ice. Expeditions to the North and South Pole to investigate global warming are resulting in the expeditions getting caught in ice they didn’t think was there and having to be rescued. The planet is not warming, according to the model predictions. And, by the way, they even say this. They say the problem is in the models. The models are not correct.

Bobby Heenan passes away at 73
One of my favorite personalities, and favorite celebrity idols, Bobby Heenan, has passed away. What a true loss to Comedy, Pro Wrestling, and to me. I have been watching some of his videos on YouTube, and have come to realize he is brilliant. What a true role model on how to work, and what true wit provides in ones life. He was so much wiser than we give him credit.

Another fantastic episode, of the continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise! This production picks up where Classic Trek left off when it was cancelled in 1969. In this episode, borders and letting good people come in, and keeping bad people out. What a very relevant episode that discusses our own border issues of today.
The War on Cars
Billions are wasted on the War on Cars. Cars = Freedom. Be wary of any Government that wants to regulate cars our of your hands, or force you into vehicles that are not. They wish to control. Car production is a core economic anchor of America.

Why Can't Government FIX Healthcare? It is simple...
Government is a 3rd payer system, and the sooner that Healthcare is given back to the citizens under a 1st payer system, the better for all. Prices go down, and quality will go up!

Democrats behind Russian based smear campaign on Trump, error ridden dossier, says NY Post.
http://nypost.com/2017/06/24/inside-the-shadowy-intelligence-firm-behind-the-trump-dossier/
The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House.
Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.

60s Batmobile Replica for only $250,000!
From CarBuzz:
This particular Batmobile has an interesting backstory that owners can either impress or bore their friends to death with. The first Batmobile, penned and created by Barris, was made from a Lincoln Futura concept. Four subsequent replicas were made for touring and promotion purposes. When Batman superfan, Jim Sermersheim, saw the Caped Crusader’s ride, he knew he had to have one. So he built a Batmobile copy using a 1958 Ford Thunderbird. So impressed was Barris with the amazing job Sermersheim had done, he bought and officially approved it as a genuine Barris Batmobile replica, joining the official fleet as #005 and touring the country with the others.

Adam West - Batman TV Star - Dies at 88
This is some very sad news, that Adam West, famed Batman TV star passed away at 88. As a very young child, I watched the TV series after school, and it made a huge impression on me. Batman from the 1960s TV show, became my role model, hero, and friend. To this day I am a Batman nut, in large part due to the early tears when I would enjoy the campy show. Unknown to me at the time, it was all tongue in cheek, comedy, but as a kid, you take it seriously, and it formed my moral compass of right and wrong. All for the best, of course, I never looked up to the villains, always Batman. Robin would get on my nerves, he was always getting them captured. But I imagined, though I wanted to be Batman, I knew I was Robin. Superhero in training. Together the show was original, and fun. Thanks to all the starts who made it possible, and thanks to Adam West for his unique take on the character that set the stage for all Batman entertainment & literature to come.

Do White Americans Have White Privilege?
Wow, the whites interviewed here have no idea about hard work, and opportunity. Listen to the blacks interviewed, they know we are all equal, and accept that. They understand we are all equal, even if some don't believe that.
The White privilege movement is turning back the clock in terms of equality (both real and perceived), which could work to overturn sacrifice and efforts forged in the 60s. Shameful!

Windows 8.1, is it even Relevant? Part 2
In a recent post to the Blog, I asked wether Windows 8 is even relevant today? See the post here.. I had repaired a Windows 10 system, and was forced to load the original OS on the laptop, back to Windows 8. A rootkit had infected the system. Instead of attempting to clean it out, sometimes it is just best to start over.
So thats what I did! I wiped the entire system, loaded Windows 8, then patched to 8.1 (the most current version). Could I have cleaned out the rootkit. I think so, but wanted to be 100% sure. I already know that many of the rootkits and trojans dig in so very deep, that cleaning it sometimes also leaves a damaged OS that doesn't run very well. Windows has its challenges out of the box, so I thought it was best to reload, play it safe, and allow peace of mind for my "customer". Just in case they do shopping and personal information on the system.
My "customer" so far is very happy (5 months), it runs well, and actually Windows 8 is not half bad when forced to use it. If you disliked the tiles in Windows 8, and yes, I dislike the tiles. You must also hate them in Windows 10. Windows 8 had an entire desktop to utilize, now Windows 10 has sucked the life from the Start Menu, to display the live tiles in the Start Menu structure. So you only see the tiles when you click the start button.
First, is Windows 8 relevant? Here is the answer you have all been waiting for. (Drum Roll) It is actually very relevant. If Windows 10 would have been deployed properly, it would have killed Windows 8. BUT Microsoft positioned themselves in such a way, that windows 10 is actually harder to use than 8. Why? When you use 10, you expect behavior like Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista. When you run Windows 8, you expect it to run as Windows 8, unlike any other flavor of OS available today. Windows 10 gets in its own way and lessens productvity.
Yes it is relevant, due to the abysmal failure of 10. This doesn't mean I love 8, it just means that each OS has its place. 10 has failed us by not providing a stable OS in which to get work done. It has been patched to glory with all kinds of vulnerable things abated, and I am sure we will have many years of holes yet to be filled. You can run Windows 10 in the Windows 8 method, if you wish. I say just stick to Windows 8 until Windows 25 comes out. Then, perhaps, the bugs and such in the code will be fixed and properly run well to allow us to utilize the OS as we did before all this Tile envy.
I would prefer to see the Windows Tiles on the desktop, think like Active Desktop, and lets have the Windows start button clear of junk, and fully user configurable, and have the ability to "skin" the Start Menu structure.
Windows 8 will endure, as long as Windows 10 continues to mis-step its way across our desktops.
If you really want something that runs well, got back to Windows 7. Thats what I am doing. I plan to eradicate all the free upgrades to Windows 10 that were forced on me, and stick to something that works, and is proven. Or do what others are doing, use your cell phone or iPad for work, and drop the desktop.
Of course, I do all my real work on a Mac. Go figure! Wish I could get OS X for all my PCs, and it all be legal and fully supported.
McAfee may have the best Virus Scan tool out there. McAfee has dedicated some resources to rootkit removers, and other anti-malware tools that are FREE. Understand that your purchase of the Virus Scan tool helps to fund this kind of thing, but in the long run, shows that McAfee gets it, and provides this free software to actually help us out of some tough spots.
Grab the tools you need while they last, they could have a change of heart. They might even be some good utilities you want to keep on a thumb drive, for when you have to clean and fix your Windows system!

McAfee Malware Tools - FREE
One of the biggest questions I receive, is what Virus Package should a customer use on their system. I usually advocate the use of a few free tools. McAfee Virus Scan, though not free itself, has an extensive development effort behind their #1 tool. Take a look at these FREE utilities for removing Malware and Ransomware, rootkits, and so much more. Some of the tools are specialize for one particular problem. If you are working to fix PC issues, would make sense to have the at the ready.

How a Chevy dealership became an oil-change juggernaut!
This video shows how a speedy and efficient Oil Change can turn profits up, and satisfy customers. Win-Win. Many dealerships, especially some local to me, still do the 3 hour oil change, and make you create an appointment for the luxury. I was even turned away once, when the waiting room and oil change line was empty, and told to make an appointment. Shame! Learn from the Chevrolet dealer on how it should be done!
