Mid-Week Cappuccino - Best of the interwebs

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein

*June 10, 1977
Apple ships its first Apple II personal computer.

The first motherboard-only Apple II computers shipped on May 10, 1977, for those who wanted to add their own case, keyboard, and power supply (or wanted to update their Apple-1 "system" with the latest and greatest). A month later, on June 10, 1977, Apple began shipping full Apple II systems.

The Apple II was promoted as an extraordinary computer for ordinary people. The user-friendly design and graphical display made Apple a leader in the first decade of personal computing. The self-contained unit housed electronics, keyboard and power supply, with the BASIC language in permanent memory.

The Apple II used a MOS 6502 chip for its central processing unit. It came with 4 KB RAM, but could be extended up to 48 KB RAM. It included a BASIC interpreter and could support graphics and a color monitor. External storage was originally on cassette tape, but later Apple introduced an external floppy disk drive.

In 1979 Software Arts introduced the first computer spreadsheet, Visicalc for the Apple II. This "killer application" was extremely popular and fostered extensive sales of the Apple II.

By the end of production in 1993, somewhere between five and six million Apple II series computers (including about 1.25 million Apple IIGS models) had been produced. The Apple II was one of the longest running mass-produced home computer series, with models in production for just under 17 years.

Barr: Durham Investigating ‘Some’ Familiar Names, Findings ‘Very Troubling’

"“You know, the propensity in the American public on all sides of the political spectrum when they see something they think could be a criminal violation, I say, why hasn’t this person been indicted again? And, you know, there’s the old saying that that the wheels of justice grind slow and they do run slow because we have due process and we follow the process. But people should not draw from the fact that no action has been taken that taken yet, that that means that people or people are going to get away with wrongdoing.”

No excitement without indictments.

Justice Is Coming: 'As Many as 16-17' Obamagate Criminal Referrals Headed to DOJ

"Investigators are working on additional ones as we speak and some are targeting the Mueller probe and how [retired Gen. Michael Flynn was] investigated,” Housley tweeted."

Bring it. We're still waiting.

Trump Announces Rallies Will Return and the Media Suddenly Remembers Pandemic

"Protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody have been carried out in every state in the nation, in small towns and large cities alike with gatherings of hundreds to thousands of people. In Manhattan on Saturday, police estimated 15,000 people demonstrated. And through it all, Democratic leaders like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer who enforced some of the strictest lockdown orders in the country over coronavirus, all of a sudden seemed to not really care about social distancing. And the media who shamed Americans for protesting stay-at-home orders threw their full support behind the demonstrations.

But now that President Trump announced rallies will resume this month, the media suddenly cares about the pandemic again."

Leftists are garbage human beings. The only black lives which matter to them are politically expedient lives.

Another Failure of the Victim-selection Process

"They didn’t plan on the clerk being armed. Caldwell County deputies seek men shot at during attempted robbery."

God bless the 2nd Amendment.

Barely Enough Russiagate to Go Around

"Really not a lot, but if we read thoroughly it could take all morning. Charles Lipsom at Spectator USA details Rod Rosenstein’s devastating admissions:"

Keep in mind that after Jeff Sessions(R) recused himself a U.S. Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein became the acting attorney general in April 2017. He oversaw the entire fraudulent Russia collusion investigation run by Bob Mueller.

How Many African and Asian Kids Will Leftists Starve Just to Beat Donald Trump?
Leftists are garbage human beings who have no guilt about breaking eggs to make their totalitarian omlet.

If You Want To Know What Disbanding The Police Looks Like, Look At Mexico

"The rise of vigilante groups in Mexico offers a hint of what happens when institutions fail and civil society collapses. America should be paying attention."

If you don't think the violent Left is at war with America, you're not paying attention. WAKE UP!

Niger Innis: BLM Seeks to 'Overthrow Western Civilization,' 'Disrupt' the Traditional 'Nuclear Family'

""Variations on the Marxist theme, that's what the bottom line is. They want to overthrow capitalism, they want to overthrow Western civilization," including "the Western-prescribed nuclear family."

Their agenda "has not a damn thing to do with saving black lives."

"Look, I'm going to tell some hard truths that people are not going to want to hear," Innis told Ingraham:"

Again, if you don't think the violent Left is at war with America, you're not paying attention. WAKE UP!

I’m sorry, but as much as I want justice and peace for George Floyd and his family, that event earlier today was a DNC Convention that featured a funeral.

I wonder how much the race pimp and perpetual grievance activist Al Sharpton charged the Floyd family to speak at his funeral?

Amazon Facing Backlash Over ‘Blue Lives Murder’ Merchandise

"However, Amazon contends that it has a policy against hateful speech, posting on its website, “Amazon does not allow products that promote, incite or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual or religious intolerance or promote organizations with such views. We’ll also remove listings that graphically portray violence or victims of violence.”

But that doesn’t appear to be the case when it comes to law enforcement."

Fen's law in action.

Peaceful? Liar. 17 people - mostly black -were MURDERED by these rioters. Yet, you have not condemned the violence. Your dog whistle of silence obviously condones this violence.

I demand your immediate resignation!! https://t.co/nYaTQFyuSI
