Again Kiszla misses the point to attack Trump and make a political point. This is not the time or the place. It is a game, they are employees protesting on their employers time. Yes, Trump should have stayed out of it. Why can't we just have a football game? I support the players right to protest, to do something positive, to make a difference but they should do it on their own time. Besides, it is counterproductive. It only alienates most of the fans, drops the popularity and, therefore, revenue of the sport which will hurt their own paychecks in the long run. It is nothing more than well intentioned stupidity (by players and Trump). As to "A real leader tackles a problem head-on, face-to-face, seeking compromise that at least partially serves the end goal of both combative parties." that is one of those statement which sound superficially good but is really nonsense. A real leader does what is right regardless of what the political outcome is.

I agree. I have never understood why people are allowed to deduct interest on 2nd homes either. People can buy an RV or popup trailer and call it a "2nd home" and deduct interest on the loan. No, I'm not making that up. I'm guessing the 2nd home deduction is because many Congress members, at one time at least, had 2 homes, one in their district, one in DC. But that's another topic for another day. We just can't afford to subsidize high mortgages and high local taxes. We don't subsidize the entire cost of sending kids to college - that tax credit is $2500. We don't subsidize the entire cost of raising kids. We don't subsidize all of people's healthcare costs (frankly, the amount we allow for that deduction is too low, imo). We limit how much people can shelter for retirement. There are many areas that the tax code allows some deduction in order to encourage a particular activity, but not unlimited amounts for people to spend on that activity because they can afford it.

Trump is rude, erratic and loathe to use or even recognize the truth. Leaders of other countries, both America's friends and America's enemies, have recognized this. There is very little chance that Trump will now ever be treated seriously on the world stage. The Trump administration is rapidly diminishing America's standing in the world. It's difficult to see things improving over the course of the next three years.

I think your second point is bang on. Now for your first point - i disagree that calling Doctors out in this thread means an irrational dislike of physicians. I just counted the number of doctors in my extended family and it's 6. 3 specialists (2 woman, one man). 3 GP's (all men). Nobody is complaining and nobody would change careers even with a tax change. So who is whining? Is it the Dr's who count their hours and conclude that nobody has it tougher? BTW, I've also recently experienced the difficulties in finding a female doctor for my teenage daughters. A growing % of female MD's in family practice are part-time doctors. It may be politically incorrect to state - but that is reality. The system allows it (for men too).

You seem to forget there are so called "rights" that contradict each other. More than a few years back, a store would carry the sign "We reserve the right to refuse service to ....". The law then changed so that the customer had the "right" to service. So "rights" of the private owner, were taken away, while "rights" were given to the customer. So in effect, the government is the one who defines the "rights" of citizens down to the most minute detail. That might be more scary, then "if you don't like the store, or company to work for, go to another store or company".

And no one wants to butt into the business of women and their private medical decisions. If it involved a woman who wants to remove her leg, gall bladder, arm, spleen, appendix, etc--no one cares what a woman wants to do to her body. The problem with abortion is that another human person is involved. That is where we have to butt in because we don't get to kill people and claim--it is none of anyone business that we are killing people--because the Constitution guarantees the right to privacy. The Constitution grants us the right to privacy--not the right to murder people. Apparently this reasoning was lost on the SCOTUS. That--is exactly why over education from Harvard and other elitist schools can be a bad thing. It can cause you to miss the obvious.

So you think secession is legal? Based on what? The "...argument against secession centers on the language of Article I, Section 10, which declares that “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation….” To proponents of this position, Article I, Section 10 unequivocally shows that the states which formed the Confederate States of America were in clear violation of the Constitution, thus invalidating their government and the individual acts of secession which led to it. Abraham Lincoln indirectly defended this position by declaring the seceding states were in “rebellion” and therefore still members of the Union. The Constitution, then, was still legally enforceable in those states, including Article I, Section 10." http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/is-secession-legal/ Given the choice of Lincoln, or a kon man, I'll go with Lincoln every time.

If he is nominated they will spend hundreds of millions of Koch Brothers dollars telling Americans that Sanders supported the Iranian government in 1980 while the Iranian mullahs were holding Americans hostage. They will tell us all about his support for completely removing funding for American defense. That was part of the platform of his party, the Socialist Workers Party. He was an Elector for the SWP that year. They will tell us about all his wacky theories others have referenced, but it is his past as an active revolutionary trying to undermine the US as we know it that will doom his candidacy.

If the Italians leave the EU, along with the Euro currency, and go back to printing Lira, they can recapitalize their banks by having their new central bank buy up bonds issued by the banks. Such bonds may even pay negative rates ( i.e. more money going from the central bank to the Italian banks after it buys their bonds). This has the advantage that no taxpaper funds are used and no savers get 'bailed-in'. In the past this would not have been done since it would have caused massive inflation, but since modern inflation is stuck close to zero there would be little risk in giving it a try. Unfortunately, the problem will be existing debts denominated, and paid back, in Euros. That will probably require a temporary fixed Lira/Euro exchange rate that will then be allowed to float again after the Euro debts are paid back. The EU is a mess, and disentangling from it is also, unfortunately, a mess too.

I did overtime studies of Anchorage police & fire years ago. I doubt much has changed since then. The amount of overtime that APD/AFD officers received in the past could increase their total annual compensation by over 30% on top of already generous pay scales. Muni overtime rules allow the most senior officers - those earning the most because of longevity- to get “first crack” at it. So when you see police directing parking at events or other non-standard patrol duties, they are usually the most senior officers & are making a HUGE hourly overtime pay for that duty. Senior officers tend to start seeking a lot of overtime in the 3 years before their 20-year retirement timeline- because all the overtime they earn in their final 3 years of working is added into the calculation of the size of their annual retirement income. I have known APD/AFD people with retirement incomes larger than the incomes they received while working! has been true under Dem/Republican mayors both. Always.

I think that the tiny house movement is a good thing , especially if it involves solar power, but for it to do well we are going to have to change our culture. When I was in grad school at UCCS back in the early 80's there was a consensus that houses should be smaller and use less resources, but what actually happened? Houses got bigger, used more resources, and local government made codes that discouraged smaller houses. Making them conform to existing codes or getting around codes is a short term solution. The codes should be changed to conform to what is needed.

I don't share your vision of billion dollar lawsuits, though I know that lawyers go for the gold. I found a surprising consensus about the cost of malpractice suits among a variety of sources. 30-80 billion isn't chump change, but it's a rounding error (two sources said that) considering the gigantic cost of health care. I don't want to look it up again, but I think I remember for the US it's 18% of GDP. So 1.5% of that would be 0.003% of GDP approximately. Malpractice is a constant in health care - ask any nurse. One I knew told me that a mistake in filling an IV bag with the wrong chemical killed a patient's entire gut. Of course the patient died, we need our guts. This happens from time to time, and those who are damaged need money to live, or their survivors want justice.

for years the us has tried to dissuade NK from developing nuclear weapons and the delivery of them via missiles and has failed miserably. America is paranoid that only they should have nuclear weapons. but since the first nuclear weapons were fired, many other countries have developed the capability, Russia, china, Pakistan, india. while these countries have the weapons, they have not used it in warfare. they all know the devastating effects of it and are reluctant to use them and even Russia instead of using nuclear weapons have only used conventional warfare. so, is it so bad that NK have these weapons? being a small country, can they really be a nuclear threat to any other country? hence, actual facts show that nuclear nations will not use such weapons, knowing full well that they can be annihilated if they did so. America should pull out of SK and let them and NK resolve their differences and become united again. we failed so time to let them do it, as in Vietnam.

The Federalist reported: According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990’s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. Kennedy’s communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit. From the KGB memo: Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

I'm done trying to school you.", "This tripe should be flushed. The writer, Hysterical Herron, is just running off at the mouth. Yo Bruce, your immature rant is typical of the Loser Left that can't get over that they were lied to so badly by their leaders. You are just blowin' smoke, get over it, and support your new President. It's pretty sweet over here.", "OOPS! Wrong link published above. Here's Muller's mea culpa in the NYT. Crap, . . . I spelled his name wrong too. \n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/opinion/the-conversion-of-a-climate-change-skeptic.html", "\"He quoted from the portion of the immigration law that he said gave him the power to enact the ban, calling it “beautifully written” and saying, “A bad high school student would understand this.”\n\nBut much too difficult for orange buffoons to understand.", "I'm not talking about the media. Yes, I'm well aware of the Assad, Puntin and Iran's unrealistic \"expectation.\" That was the gist of my comment. Just another ignorant, impulsive probably illegal, wasteful (59+ million dollars down the toilet) hugely expexpensive Trump fail. he's an incompetent moron. But hey, Hillary had emails. 🙄", "Now you are convincing me you actually are the liberal pundit Russell Sadler because you are just as profoundly ignorant as that deluded fool. He11, this is in print and you still couldn't follow my post, and like Sadler you bring two strawman arguments. I addressed the salmon issue. I never said one word about hydro power. Furthermore, it is your deluded stupidity that mine or any one else post causes others not to post their opinions as it didn't stop you from puking your stupidity, now did it, Junior. Now, had you a crumb of intelligence you would have addressed the facts I stated. Instead you created a different argument deflecting off the issues I addressed. That's taking foolishness to an art form, son.", "After an ignorant and meaningless sneer at Pope Francis yesterday, RD posts an equally ignorant and meaningless sneer at Cardinal Cupich. Is that what your Hypernumeray from OD teaches you to do, RD, sneer at your betters?", "Uh oh, another undignified, tasteless, rude comment with a snarky \"tone.\" Where is that hypocritical Bizarro World Clown, Koncerned, to get this guy under control? I say, where is...oh.", "What was negative or prejudicial about it, I was just answering Twakkies'. .... I really think Love-Muscle that you must explore your own conscience with your insults.... it's not intelligent, some may say childish.", "That's the thing about legislation...if there are concerns about the constitutionality of it, it's best to let it die. The fact that Dunleavy was this enthusiastic to push this potentially unconstitutional bill speaks to his incompetence. I know he has worked in education, so it's a little weird how out of touch he is with some of the realities of...well, reality, I guess.", "I consider myself a mild person, but my feelings for these Liberals is close to disgust. I understand and appreciate conservatives who want smaller government and fiscal moderation. I understand and appreciate liberals/NDP who want to give the little guy a break, including private sector unions as a counterbalance to executives and shareholders. But these incompetent, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, deceitful influence peddlers disgust me- these people who still, after all these years of failure, have this air of moral and intellectual superiority, despite the fact that nothing they do is on the level, nothing is honest or straightforward, everything is a misrepresentation or an outright lie.", "You neglected to answer my questions about the defense of marriage act, NAFTA, her putting blacks into prison for minor offenses and wanting to make black predators heel. Please respond love to hear your erudite answers. Also her support for the Iran Nuclear deal and opening up borders for the whole western hemisphere. Can't wait to hear your wisdom.", "I'm not blind. Here's proof--I just read, and am currently answering, a post by a childish idiot who seems incapable of supporting his arguments with facts, and therefore must resort to pathetic, infantile attempts at 'insult' that he should have grown out of by the 6th grade.", "Aside from its premise that the Libs are incompetent, this editorial is absolute garbage. How can the editors of what's supposed to be a business-based newspaper come to the conclusion that it's nothing but tax avoidance. What an insult. I'm considering ending my subscription.", "You obviously have a dog in this fight and it is Hillary and even though Trump crossed a line and was a complete idiot, especially at the end of his speech. In your first sentence you start making your case with your opinion, but I beg to differ (I want to be fair so I will fight opinion with opinion), what he said was not even close to being as viscous, condescending and judgemental as what the Podesta emails revealed. Then you go on to state Clinton is wrong on abortion but....... There is no but, her stance and that of the DNC are wrong and it really is that simple. You are the worst case scenario of what you accuse others of being, and you use gov't and supreme court decisions as a crutch to justify moral decisions instead of using your free will, your brain and your faith. \n\nDo changes need to be made in the Catholic Church? Many say they do and I can be counted as one of those but those changes should come from within the church and not forced on us from outside, \n \nRick W", "“The president is being very careful to understand \"....what? he is inept, has no attention span and is a narcissistic buffoon.", "Fair enough but I am not encouraged by what I'm seeing so far. To date, his modus operandi has been: Try something stupid; watch it crash and burn; then try something else. The immigration file is one example of that.", "Your post is pure bias and makes no mention of this. Now, after the fact, you make this statement. No, I did not get this wrong, you need to articulate better than a bias opinion condemning one while saying nothing of the other equally guilty. as for the latter, Junior, I staunchly opposed Bush in agreement with William F Buckley who warned the GOP they were committing political suicide with this incompetent clown. Now you're deflecting off subject of your BIAS post I addressed.", "I have (he chose Case).
