This appears to be a MacOS issue as Apple has changed the behavior in Sierra. I solved it by creating the following…
John McCain is a war hero. A genuine war hero. He served his country with honor and went above and beyond the call. He should be admired for his military service. He was simply incredible and has more intestinal fortitude than I will ever have. That does not mean he is right on every political…
Dear Glenn, You are disappointed in Ted Cruz. You apologized to your audience for believing in Mr. Cruz. You say he let you down is because he turned out to be just another politician. I cannot figure out why you thought he was anything other than a politician. Politicians are all the same in…

My Kindle 3 wouldn’t charge and no matter what I tried I couldn’t get it to work. Then I tried using my iPad charger, and it worked! I had not used my Kindle in awhile and it would not charge. I plugged it in for 30 minutes and I still got the “Empty Battery” screen….
