WATCH New Details Emerge Regarding Omar Mateen’s Wife

Omar Mateen bought nearly $9,000 worth of jewelry less than a week before he killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, ABC News has learned.

The purchase was made June 6 at the Kay Jewelers in Jensen Beach, Florida, which is near the Lotus Gun Shop where Mateen attempted to buy body armor.

Signet, which owns Kay Jewelers, would not confirm the purchase by Mateen, but issued a statement that they are “working closely with the authorities.”

“Signet was shocked and deeply saddened by the violent acts against the LGBT community. We join all Americans in mourning and are working closely with the authorities. We will do everything possible to support them,” Signet vice president David A. Bouffard said in a statement.

the audacity of a dope
We learn much about human psychology from observing the reactions to the mass-shooting at the Pulse nightclub. We don’t learn much about the mass-shooting, its causes, and its motivations.

When a villain commits a terrible evil, ideologues reflexively blame what they regard as evil without reference to the facts. These a priori explanations require explanations all their own.

While Obama refuses to fault “radical Islam” for terrorism, his votaries plainly name “National Rifle Association,” “Christians,” “Republicans,” and other unusual usual suspects as the true culprits behind last weekend’s carnage. “This is a political distraction,” the president said about his reluctance to utter “radical Islam.” So, too, is the audacity-of-dopes effort to deflect blame onto all-too-convenient enemies…

ut Americans repeatedly saw something and said something. The government did next to nothing.

A gun store worker suspicious of Mateen’s request for body armor and ammunition contacted the FBI weeks ago. Co-workers freaked out by boasts of his connections to terrorists contacted the FBI. Public school classmates shocked by the 9/11 attacks became doubly shocked at Mateen’s boisterous in-class cheers during the event’s live broadcast.

Not only did the government not stop him, the government gave him a job, and not only did they give him a job but they gave him a job with a badge and later let him guard a courthouse with a gun.

But why talk about all that? Better to say the Republicans did it.

Help Please

http://www.voy.com/216669/    its an old KITCO site ..

Its always good to have a backup place to meet.

I know years ago when Goldtent had problems someone gave us an alternate site ,I forget his name ,but he subsequently lost all his gold money  ..I felt so bad for him ,It helped me a lot…I would have taken a collection for him to give him a grubstake ,but I dont know where he went !    Sometimes when you are hit by tragedy ,anyone that sends you a lifeline is so much appreciated..   I dont know if a grubstake would have helped but it would have been gratifing that anyone cared.  I cant recall his moniker ..

Do NOT try LINUX on something you depend on..

Posted by Ororeef @ 22:57 on June 19, 2016  

LEARN first  its a BIG step !

I realized I wasent clear enough so I modified it  ….Do not experiment with something you depend on..

Its amazing how many time I posted something and someone had a completely different take on what I said then what I meant….especially true with those from the left side hehe ….Ill say no more …not to offend.

Ororeef @ 21:54 Thanks!!

Posted by silverngold @ 22:52 on June 19, 2016  

Sounds like good advice, and the XP is one of those that no longer matters. Still, it was a favorite and would be good to get it operational  again. As I have extra time I’ll give it a go. Thanks again!!

Are you also saying not to try installing Linux on the Windows 7 if I am depending on it?? Because I am at least for now.

edit: Either you changed what you originally posted or I totally misread it the first time I read it. Whatever!! Okay I will not mess with the Windows 7 at least while I am depending on it. Thanks again.

Your win xp  sounds like a good candidate  for a Linux version…I use Ubuntu 14 on my old windows  xp desk top ..I installed an earlier version ubuntu 10 if i recall correctly on my wifes win xp  I think it was …If you have nothing to lose on any computer you dont use any more why not experiment installing a Ubuntu version on it.The latest versions wouldent work on the old xp ,so simply try whatever version of Ubuntu linux will install …It will tell you itself if it can install it.  DONT      experiment with any computer you depend on..  start with something so out of date if something goes wrong it dont matter..Ubuntu self installs usually.Its best to learn on an old computer thats become useless to you.

If its currently useless to you thats what you want to experment with.

I cannot help you because there are so many variables ….Just dont use anything you depend on…

If you are successful it can give you years of extended life for an old computer that microsoft wont support anymore ….

If  win 7 is your latest version..I would NOT fool with that  although  Im sure it can be converted ,but you can be expected to lose everything on it…  REPEAT I would not experiment with anything I depend on ,,another reason  you will not be able to re install windows …theres no going back !

POP UP BLOCKERS

Posted by Ororeef @ 21:34 on June 19, 2016  

First thing is to identify your Browser  Usually Firefox ,Chrome or Edge (microsoft)…then do a search for pop-up blocker for that Browser in Google or whatever your search engine is  ..install the pop-up blocker.I use a Firefox Browser with Ubuntu 14 and in Preferences I choose either pop ups  on or off,or ASK..

If it starts doing something weird you can uninstall it or not activate it ….in Linux go to “preferences” it will ask if you want to “activate”,block”,always ask” depending on the version….The other Browsers should have something similar .in thier “add ons” that gives you some options for turning on or off  the pop up blocker ..

Nigel Farage On Brexit: “We Had Momentum Until This Terrible Tragedy” – Here Are The Latest Odds

While according to UK-based bookkeepers, the odds of Leave are steadily falling despite no such confirmation in the actual pools, none other than Nigel Farage may have summarized it best when earlier today he said on ITV that “we have momentum. We did have momentum until this terrible tragedy… When you are taking on the establishment, you need to have momentum

Look at the drop at the open. Gold silver and the US $ down.  Gold hit for near 18 bucks now down 9. Wow. Gonna be an interesting week IMO. Hoping we finish somewhere near 1325 and 18 at weeks end. The intraday activity should shiver our timbers though.

Seattle employees ask for REDUCED hours so that “jacked-up” minimum wage won’t cost them subsidized housing: Gee, who could have seen this coming…

Posted by Richard640 @ 16:34 on June 19, 2016  

This proves you can’t fix “Stupid”

Seattle employees ask for REDUCED hours so that “jacked-up” minimum wage won’t cost them subsidized housing: Gee, who could have seen this coming…
Now this is downright funny. They scream for a higher minimum wage, then when they get it they complain because they make too much money to qualify for the free stuff, go figure.

JULY 8, 2015 By jacking up minimum wage, Seattle has provided a valuable lesson in liberal economics. The plan has now backfired. Nora Gibson, executive director of Full Life Care, told KIRO 7 she saw a sudden reaction from workers when Seattle’s phased minimum-wage ordinance took effect in April, bringing minimum wage to $11 an hour. She said anecdotally, some people feared they would lose their subsidized housing so they have asked that their work hours be reduced to remain eligible for all government subsidies.

It doesn’t stop at $11/hour.

The law puts it up to $15 starting January 1, 2017. They will have to reduce their work hours even more to remain eligible for handouts.

Good thing the minimum wage wasn’t raised even higher, most would not work at all, they prefer to be spoon fed and remain on the government plantation.

Remember free market capitalism? Under that system, the harder and smarter you worked, the higher your standard of living. But that was found to result in income inequality, so now we have a system where wealth is bestowed by bureaucrats, and working harder doesn’t always make sense.

In Honer of my father (who I never knew) and Step-father who did his best to raise me properly….

Ororeef @ 15:17…Operating systems

Posted by silverngold @ 16:03 on June 19, 2016  

I know nothing about the different operating systems but I have been resisting installing Windows 10 as long as possible on my Windows 7 machine. I also have a Windows XP laptop that cannot be upgraded to Windows 10 and is no longer supported by Microsoft. It has become increasing useless so I seldom even open it any more but it has mega hard drive and memory and in it’s day was a $3600 machine.

Do you know if both of these machines (XP and 7) can be converted to Linux? I’d appreciate some knowledgeable help and direction from anyone who knows. Thanks!

 

POP UPS

Posted by Ororeef @ 15:35 on June 19, 2016  

You should be able to block POP UPS …even if and unless Microsoft is making money on them ..they are getting desperate … The sites I posted never had pop ups before ….Its always about the money !

There are differences in operating systems

Posted by Ororeef @ 15:17 on June 19, 2016  

All kinds of strange things happen since we moved..I havent been able to post charts ,so I tried posting the Web site and some of you guys get POP UPS and I DONT GET THEM  !   BUt MY operating system automatically blocks them  for me…sorry if others get problems because of it…  seems like LINUX and windows have a lots of differences ..!  Its strange because I had none of these problems before we moved and neither did all of you ! as I had posted them before ..so its more than the difference in operating systems thats going on..!

It looks to me like Microsoft and Linux are fighting there is nothing more secure than linux ..Microsoft was the culprit since they have always mixed the programs with the operating system to force clients to stay with them.  Their money maker is the operating system ..Linux separates the operating system and in fact requires passwords to get access to it.So nothing can be surreptitiously included.  Linux is free so there is NO conflict of interest ..not so with Microsoft !  and their revenues are dropping !
More work to do ..

I’m getting a pop up from Ororeef’s links as well … and I never even clicked on them

Ororeef …. maybe you could just post the chart instead of the links. Those pop ups are mega annoying!
