Some people are deliberately obtuse about this development. For example, Trump himself now says that the DNA test didn't prove that Sen. Warren "is an Indian". But that would have required at least one parent, preferably both, be Indian and, no, Warren never pretended that. The tribal membership in ...

Trump has begun to demonstrate that his pledge of Justice for Jamal is, like most Trump pledges, written in water. He had backed off - perhaps out of fear of Saudi retaliation (which could be as simple and devastating as the suddenly removal of all Saudi money from the American banks and from Wall S...

Trump has welched on his promise of a million dollars for proof from Sen. Warren.

On the other hand, about five years ago, Trump actually filed a lawsuit against comedian Bill Maher over Maher's 'offer' of a comparable prize if Trump could prove he was not descended from an orange-hair orangutan.

The stock market has dropped precipitously following the exchange of threats between the White House and the Saudi govt. Apparently my fears of Saudi talons deeply embedded in the US economy are shared by many investors.

Trump's depiction of Democrats/liberals as a fearsome rampaging mob sent a chill down my spine. It reminded me of Matt Murphy's defense of the Kluxers who had murdered Viola Liuzzo in 1965; Murphy worked the all-white jury with a summation that made the freedom riders out to be the first wave of the...

Kanye West's pathological ranting in the White House, with an attentive Donald Trump acting very receptive, expressed a number of sentiments opposed to the civil rights movement (including, God help me, words in favor of the pre-Civil War slave system). These came out of a Afro-American's mouth and ...

It appears to me that Turkey is taking advantage of this situation, by choosing this fortuitous time to free an American preacher from its prison, and, almost simultaneously, exposing the evidence that the Saudis murdered Khashoggi. The Turks have plenty of reputation for oppressing journalists and ...

The Saudis didn't need Trump in the White House (or anywhere) in order to kill Khashoggi. They were already much experienced in killing journalists and other boat-rockers when Trump threw his hat into the ring. The simple fact is that it's the Crown Prince who can shoot someone in broad daylight on ...

In view of recent events, I wonder how long before someone markets a beer brand that exploits Kavanaugh's enthusiasm.

Something like Kav's Beer or maybe Supreme Lager.

It is possible that Kavanaugh will surprise - and disappoint - the Republicans. A good deal of the material that got Democrats and liberals edgy were memos and other opinion pieces written when Kavanaugh was in the employ of the Bush White House. He knew which side of his bread was buttered. But now...

No reason to get too depressed about Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Remember - President Trump, his very own self, told us, on 9 August 2016, that if we're stuck with judges we don't want that "Second Amendment people" could fix it.

The news report kept hammering on the Shaw couple as Nazis. Isn't it bad enough they murdered a man, stole his home and fraudulently emptied his bank account? That seems felonious enough without adding that they harbor ill-feelings towards most of humanity. If I were their lawyer I would bitch long ...

If dummies for sex will work, maybe we could have dummies for public office. They'd be more honest, and probably more sensible than the ones we have there now.

I have to point out that these sex dolls cost more than a thousand dollars. In my estimation, any man with that much money burning a hole in his pocket can probably contrive a situation whereby he can accomplish something with a real live woman.

I obviously have led a very sheltered life and would appreciate it if someone would provide clear (and honest) English translations of the mysterious expressions in Kavanaugh's yearbook and similar references, such as boof, Devil's Triangle, Wendy, Maureen Total Whack, etc.

My own opinion: I do not know if I would have approved of Kavanaugh if he had been upfront about his highschool and college misbehavior - but it would have been a tough call to deny a mature man a job because of teenage bad judgment/actions separated by more than three decades. However, Kavanaugh's ...

Despite the Republican talk about these accusations "ruining Kav's life" - the simple fact is that, even if Kavanaugh does not get confirmed to the Supreme Court, he remains a judge on a federal circuit court - a lifetime appointment and very well paid.

Considering that Trump once said he'd execute the defendants in the Central Park Rape case, even though the victim was left alive (and even though, subsequently, it was proven that these defendants were innocent) - it's a distinct contrast to his reactions to the Kavanaugh accusations. But, of cours...

I think modern media - including the internet - shares some blame for this. There is now an awareness that one's mistakes and humiliations will always be known or knowable, wherever one goes, forever; that one can never really start a new life in another place, all the old bad news will surface agai...

When he was nominated for the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh delivered a ass-kissing speech about how the Trumpchumps had done the most thorough vetting and background checking in all American history to pick him. Yet they missed all this business about his frat life, the women accusing him, even his coll...

For reasons that baffle me, Trump keeps making campaign speeches as if he were still running for election personally. Even his Inaugural Address sounded like a campaign speech. His UN speech sounded like a campaign speech -- as if he seriously thought that all (or any) of those foreign delegations c...

Trump and McConnell and other Republicans doubling down on Kavanaugh even in the face of a rising tide of accusations could blow up the ballot boxes in the Midterm Elections. Did anyone bother to tell them that nearly half the voters are women? And also that a good many male voters are browned off b...

I actually wouldn't mind waking up on the morning of 26 September 2018 and finding out it was all a bad dream.

I am Extremely Grateful that so many knowledgeable people are helping me when my PC goes sour.
I have momentarily returned to IE as my browser -- I completely forgot how to run IE.
It seems to me that if my problem was caused by Chrome, I would not be alone in whining about my problems.

DejaMoo:

No luck with your recipe - it may be because my PC is 64-bits, not 32, and uses the 64 version of Chrome.

However, if it is Chrome's fault, then I'll simply opt for a different browser altogether. Even lower-tech is worth it if it cures these problems.

Thanks again.
