No representation from the working whites that elected him.

All white cabinet (save one married to a white Senator):  hawkish generals, Wall St. banksters, Big Business executives, anti-immigrant, anti-green.


Your baby is reacting to burning garbage.  They have to smell garbage burning because these garbage burners are too cheap to take their garbage to the dump.


I am just watching BBC. According to interviewee on BBC a DNC staffer met with Ukrainian officials in Kiev to obtain 'dirt' on Donald Trump.

That's collusion and/or interference by the DNC and Ukraine as much as anything I've heard about the Trump campaign and Russia so far.


Finally a writer who gets it! The majority of CDN's are not racist, most of us are so busy with just life that we really could care less about most things religious. Yet, we know wrong when we see wrong and this is just plain wrong. It is not what we want for Canada. I wish those who lead us would stop trying to win the next election and just lead.


That liberal spin is over .Just like  BC liberals.


The broader issue here is how Canadians will be able to continue to fund law professors or any education for that matter if we cut off a huge chunk of our economy.  Even if one believes the distorted version of increased GHG from Trans Mountain.....compared to what alternative?  If we don't build it will the world use less oil?  Will Canadians import less oil from overseas with equally large GHG footprints?

Canada requires a national strategy to diversify our energy sales instead of relying on our current sole customer model at discounted prices.  Northern Gateway was intended to assist that strategy but it died in the planning stage.  Energy East and/or Trans Mountain are the only alternatives left.  Pick which ever one you want but we need at least one of them.


I believe the reason Kent is short on funds is not property taxes, which have continued to climb, but sales taxes, which were transferred from point of seller (Kent warehouses) to point of sale (where affluent people buy stuff).   I suspect the theory is that if we have housing for people who can afford to buy stuff, we will have more sales tax income.


"It must be noted and recognized that "sanctions" are mostly sanctimonious"

Clearly, the subject nations of such sanctions - South Africa, Iran, Russia - disagree with you.


If pot causes people to murder then why aren't there shootouts and fierce gun battles daily at all of the legal pot stores in WA,OR,CA,CO not to mention Amsterdam and Vancouver?


Yet 60,000 federal government employees got nice pay raises, $650 signing bonus,  and $4 Biliion in bankable sick days left intact just before Christmas.

Canada is doomed with these Liberals.

"But at the moment, there's a solution: Don't use Whole Foods' WiFi."

Exactly.


Strange headline.  They don't really need the "of cutting hair."

Do they think we might assume something like the following if they hadn't added that?

"One of Denver’s oldest barbershops will close after 64 years of repairing bulldozers."


Title of article: "My son is an Internet troll, how do I pull him away from the computer?"

Hahaha.

You're asking us? If we knew the answer, we wouldn't be here.


Just another left-wing piece of propaganda and historical revisionism.
Speaking of immigrants, is there a single Canadian journalist who can comment on the fact that at last week's funerals of the six Quebec City mosque victims, three of the caskets at the first service were draped in the Algerian and Tunisian flags and at the second service none of the three caskets were draped in any flag. In other words, why weren't they draped in Canadian flag?? And as a country, we lowered our Canadian flags to half-mast after the tragedy.


I conclude that if I'm driving the speed limit at night, I will not be cited if I hit a pedestrian (like a deer) who is unexpectedly in the traffic lane; especially at night, the pedestrian is wearing dark cloths and extremely difficult to see, and had a shoulder to walk on instead of in the middle of a traffic lane.  Pedestrians need to understand that cars do have a stopping distance.  Pedestrians do have rules and need to be accountable for their safety, per Oregon law.


Holland, as he has done so often late in the season, closed out the Rockies.

Some guys will move on, willingly or unwillingly.  Can Reynolds have another year like this one?  Desmond is not going to be an everyday 1B.  Cargo?  Who knows?  Maybe after having the sophomore jinx, Story turns out to be the real deal in the hitting department.  Can Blackmon have another outstanding year?  The young starters showed promise.  Maybe one or two find a niche in the bullpen to give the team something it did not have this year.

There's always next year.


Actions speak louder than words.


It will be a breath of Fresh Aire


ummmm no

To find the hate for homosexuals, minorities ( infidels), women you need to visit a mosque.

Merry Christmas


Kevin O'Leary thinks that by projecting a tough guy image that the Tory Party will rally round him, despite displaying his complete ignorance of what the notwithstanding clause is about. O'Leary would be better to raise the "illegal migrant" issue as a challenge that Canada needs to address compassionately. And then leave it to the governing Liberals to actually figure out a solution and do something. But I guess that wouldn't play to the Tory "base".


Then by that token not all Republicans are racists like you Libs portray them to be.  Just like not all Republicans are white.


It's not just the backcountry that has a litter problem. People drive to our local parks and can't manage to take their trash home with them. If the city-provided trash cans are full, they just toss it nearby.

Sunday morning there were huge rubbish piles all along the river bike paths, some near trash cans and others near places where people go down and swim (and drink and whatever).

The city's Parks and Open Space department now has to pay people to clean up this mess every morning. Unfortunately, they don't venture off the path to get what blew away (or was dumped on the shore). I wouldn't be surprised if these same litterbugs don't also complain about rampant government waste while they cause this extra unnecessary (but for their actions) government expense.


Every time I read about a rate increase submissoin to PUC I make this comment: Xcel is a monopoly. It has no need to spend money on marketing. Yet they spend millions of dollars to sponsor the Xcel arena and the management flies on private jets. Neither should be allowed for a public utility that is a monopoly. We have no choice for our utility provider. So PUC should standup and say NO more increases until they stop spending frivolously on themselves and management. Again, we have no option so they have no need to spend millions of dollars on marketing.


Hi, padre - Since Lent is right around the corner, do you accept the idea that we willingly choose not to reflect the image of God within us? Assuming you do, as do I, I'm not sure how your comment deals with the choices we make in life. Are they all acceptable because we reflect the image of God and "supplet ecclesia?" Or are there acts and attitudes that distort the image within us and demand metanoia? (I know...too Augustinian....) - monica.


What's not mentioned in the article is that the basic research from which drugs are developed is virtually all funded with taxpayer money at no cost to the industry.

If the research looks promising the drug companies fund trials, often with the support of overly generous tax credits, to test their efficacy and safety so they can be patented and sold.

Drug trials are not sequestered but paid for by the companies hoping to profit and who also choose the entities who will carry them out thus creating a strong potential for bias.

How much petroleum does the United States import and from where?
U. S. imports 9M barrels of oil per day from about 75 countries, fifty-five percent that come from OPEC and Middle East countries.  Where would dumpf trumpf replace 4.5m barrels of import oil per day to replace those from these countries. Price of oil is dependent on supply and demand, the price of oil will surely rise, especially for you and I, the consumers. We may wind up paying as much as $10/$15 per gallon at the pump. Dumb people vote to spend more money, work for less wages, longer hours to make ends, and pay higher taxes. Vote Democrat!


Rest in peace, you were a great inspiration to many who shared your sport.


But Fdionne,

Don't take my word for it - read it in the history books, where "get-tough-and-clear-on-Quebec" Preston Manning's underling assistant at the time, an unknown named Stephen Harper, is described as follows:

"The (1995) post referendum activities.... on the Reform Side, MP Stephen Harper introduced a Private Member's Bill that dealt explicitly with a referendum on separation. It was really the precursor to PM Chretien's Clarity Act, passed in 2000." (from: 14 Days: Making the Conservative Movement in Canada, by Bruce Carson).

It is a fact that Chretien and his underlings were in panic and despair and almost destroyed the country with their MASSIVE underestimation of Quebecers' swallowing the separatist propaganda in the weeks before that 1995 referendum. The separatists nearly won and the Liberals were reckless, incompetent and dangerous in their foolish approach of the time, thankfully replaced in 2000 by the hardball approach birthed by the other side of the Commons.


I spent ten years of my life there, long before sex was invented, and it left a deep mark on my soul.

How ironic that I read this article and the tired anti-South Eugene comments on the same day that this headline appeared in the paper: South Eugene Homeless Camp Poised for Expansion: "With the support of the neighborhood association, city officials are poised to expand a homeless camp in south Eugene." I'm proud of my neighborhood association for lobbying for the camp in the first place, then supporting its expansion. They have also been working with St. Vinnie's on a project to help homeless youth. So much for misinformed stereotypes.


The point is, the ballot initiative passed in 2014 does not provide for reductions in the minimum wage when the CPI declines.


"For example, under Oregon's laws the following people could face child pornography charges:
a teenage girl who encourages a friend to allow her to video the friend performing oral sex
a teenage boy who forwards to friends a nude photo of a classmate, and
an 18-year-old who receives a sexual image of a 16-year-old, even if the older child does not realize that the person depicted is under age 18."


How did Guy vote???


I'm the guy that was "assaulted" in that accident. Thanks for the article.


Fake news


The investigation was not just about double dipping, it was also about 9 families wanting to know where our money was going since it was obviously not going towards tools. The families would have been okay with the tool fee going towards tools, but that was not the case. For the amount of $ we agreed to pay monthly, we expected tools in good working condition BUT the tools were in horrible condition & many were unsafe to use. When we did ask for new tools we were told by the construction supervisor that we would all have to pay for it in addition to our monthly fee. If it weren't for volunteers bringing their own tools from home, the homes would not have been finished. The Mutual Self-Help Housing Program is a good program when it is run honestly & correctly.


No hangover here, Trump is doing what we asked him to do, and why we voted for him !


How about we move some of the inmates into the ACLU office to relieve the overcrowding?


Earns them special treatment in school-including the MCATs- (Medical school testing on proficiency before admittance-think about that!)

Tracked Data from the Association of American Medical Colleges.

* For students applying to medical school with slightly below average GPAs of 3.20 to 3.39 and slightly below average MCAT scores of 24 to 26...black applicants were more than 9 times more likely to be admitted to medical school than Asians (56.4% vs. 5.9%), and more than 7 times more likely than whites (56.4% vs. 8.0%).

* For all matriculants to US medical schools in the fall of 2015, the average MCAT score for Asians (32.8) and whites (31.8) were above the average MCAT score of 31.4 for all matriculants, while the average MCAT score for Hispanics (28.0) and blacks (27.3) had average MCAT scores below the overall average -

Gary, Gary… you are confusing the terms "smart" and "rich." They can be exclusionary. My greatest example? W. 'nuff said.


No, you know what's worse than Citizen's United? SCOTUS Buckley v Valeo (1976). That's the ruling that said money is equivalent to speech for political purposes and that it was okay because it would surely never be abused by corporations, oligarchs, or politicans seeking re-election. Well. It was the ruling that made all of the corruption that has now followed even possible in the first place. It's going to take a Constitutional amendment to fix Buckley v Valeo, and what choice have we but to urgently proceed? I still cannot comprehend why my parents' generation let the fascists get away with Buckley v Valeo. What were they even _thinking_?

I know exactly why we have an electoral college.  It was to placate the slave states. Even though slavery has been abolished, Marty still supports the electoral college because he knows it's really the  only way a conservative can be elected president.

I am not a Democrat.  I am an independent. There have been Republicans I have voted for, there are Democrats I wouldn't dream of voting for.

I agree that looking for salvation through a political party is stupid. So I never have.


One time, I saw a seagull entangled in kite string. The kite string and the seagull was high up in the air so I could not reach the kite string and help the seagull.

What should have I done? Phone 9-1-1 and the fire fighter could have easily cut the kite string from his fire truck.

I felt that perhaps the fire department would not want me to phone them for this situation.

Maybe I could have phoned animal services or wildlife rescue.

I don't know what happened to the seagull. I'm guessing that it died.


By 9 pm EDT, six readers "disagree" with something in my comment.  Not sure what. Except for Layla4, who quotes the premier of Quebec, none say why.
1. Disagree with the Liberal immigration plan for 2017, maybe?
2. Disagree with number projections based on those plans and past approval rates?
3. Disagree with "sustainable trend", even though figures suggest it is quite sustainable?
4. Disagree with my position because it contradicts their's?

Mount your arguments--provide figures of your own. I promise I'll read 'em.

Re: the Quebec premier's statement: in the province where a muslim cemetery becomes a hot-button issue,  he recognizes a good vote-getting posture. That's all.


That's a lot of hate. Sure there's a lot of evil in this world, but blind hate is the evil that leads to the worst of evils. Think on that. There must be something in this world you can feel good about, no?


Trouble did seem to follow him that night.

Was it just an unfortunate coincidence that he happened to be at the location of two different shootings?  Or was he maybe running with a crowd that attracts that kind of trouble?


It is hoped that all three members will out of intensive care by this time.  They will also be celebrating a group birthday party for their 100th, 99th and 101st birthdays.


I say if elway is still thinking Lynch is the guy then go get Eli Maning. fire Joseph asap and some other coachs. this team TOTALLY quit today on Joseph and the coachs along with all the Bronco fans. Especially the defense. let some of these young kids play that want to play and wont quit on anyone. this team does not like playing for Joseph. Talib, Harris and Miller looked like they could have cared less today


"registration or paperwork for the firearm" what registration? What country are you talking about? We do not have a gun registration or "paperwork".

Wouldn't you rather be armed in a situation where someone was shooting at you?

I always travel with my ccw and arm up as soon as possible for just this reason.


"Business suit or dress" is what I said.  I haven't yet seen a male Bay street lawyer wearing a dress.

There are uniforms that expected in the business world, just as uniforms are expected in other lines or work.

"Dress for Success is an international not-for-profit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life."

Dress for success provides donated business appropriate clothing to women who could not otherwise afford it.

Because,  #Clothes Matter.


My thoughts as well, Kevin. We tell people to lock their doors to prevent property crime but this is the same thing.
Business owners, learn and implement internal controls and pay close attention to your financial statements. If you don't know how to read and use financial statements, take the time to learn.

A little time and money spent on proper administration can save a world of hurt.


Your Representatives,which sold you out to ISPs, and how much it cost to buy them: Lisa Murkowski-$66,250; Dan Sullivan-$10,550; Don Young-$28,650


What a sad day for the country that leads the free world. They can't even protect their borders any more. The entire judiciary has been hijacked by the left. What is going to happen now is EXACTLY what President Trump said will happen if you give advance warning. Every single bad individual who wants to do harm to the United States is scrambling to get into the country right away before the Supreme Court finally restores some semblance of reasonable thinking and restores the moratorium on visa's issued from certain countries. Of course it will be too late and by the time some horrible terrorist incident happens the left will rationalize it in some way that it is all Trumps fault. Sharia law for all in the USA and coming soon to Canada also.


13,000 turned out for Clinton in Columbus, Ohio. Like it or lump it.


Continued from above --  Populists are dividers, not uniters, Mudde told me. They split society into “two homogenous and antagonistic groups: the pure people on the one end and the corrupt elite on the other,” and say they’re guided by the “will of the people.” The United States is what political scientists call a “liberal democracy,” a system “based on pluralism—on the idea that you have different groups with different interests and values, which are all legitimate,” Mudde explained. Populists, in contrast, are not pluralist. They consider just one group—whatever they mean by “the people”—legitimate.     --


I voted for a guy that isn't going to put up with Kim Jong Un's crap.
I'm all for diplomacy, but I don't see it working too well with North Korea.  Perhaps sanctions and working with China to find a diplomatic solution will work out; let's hope.  But Jorge has absolutely zero influence in North Korea.  His attempt amounts to getting the US to weaken its resolve so that the suffering people of North Korea can remain virtually enslaved.


You write incomplete sentences such as "The failures of Obamacare" and you call other people ignorant? I will correct and complete it for you.  "The failures of the ACA have been perpetuated and accentuated by Republicans who want to dismantle it, but the ACA is fixable with bipartisan action to go forward into the 21st century with health care for most"


No wonder schemes like these are flourishing:

"Media outlets in India, such as the Hindustan Times, report there is a “booming matrimony market for ‘brides’ who can earn the ‘groom’” coveted status as a migrant to a Western country.."

"Here is another ad, from the newspaper Jagbani:

“Barbar Sikh, 24, 5 feet 8 inches. Finished Grade 12. Looking for BSc or IELTS pass girl. Boy’s side will pay all expenses to go to Canada.”


Canadian taxes are not high compared to the US.  Business taxes are lower.  Amazon doesn't care about personal taxes

I think Trump is why he might do it.  Bezos is competing with Trump for support - pissing him off HELPS him.  And for a project of this size to work, he needs better immigration rules than the US has.


I figured you had read what Kaepernick had to say about it, but since you seem to believe you are the only one who has read the articles or listens to the news, here you go, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Seriously, I have a right to disagree with how he is protesting the issue, even if I were to agree there are problems. I would never not stand and show appropriate respect to the Flag or National Anthem. However, as I said, I will defend others' rights not to show what I consider appropriate respect under the First Amendment's protections of free speech.


This is a blatant example of the "public safety" organizations putting their own interests above those of the people they are supposed to protect.  Yeah, if all video was stored and all reviewed it would be a lot of work.  But the public interest would still be served with no long-term storage or review except in cases involving deadly force.  Fortunately, deadly force cases are relatively rare.  So bottom line, if the public safety organizations were to look after the interests of the public, they would be wearing the camera's now without long term storage or review.  If deadly force is used, only then would the daily video be stored and viewed.  Likely, only a very small percentage of daily camera recordings would ever be reviewed.  Those body cams should be in use.  The fact that they are not based on the lie of inadequate staff speaks volumes about the motives of the public safety industry.


America is being crushed under it's own weight.

Even Alt-Presidents don't behave this badly.


More propaganda courtesy of the mop and pail .......


Statues presume heroism which, by nature, stands far afield of commercial marketing.  We have statues of Duke, Liliuokalani, Washington, and King.  For some of us, the 60s was priceless, but I'm not thinking our claim to nostalgia is so heroic.  Using Kui Lee as muse, Don Ho pioneered a Waikiki culture that someone had already done at an organ bar in Florida in the 50s.  Of course, Ho didn't write his hits.  Kui Lee "invented" the aloha pants and wrote his soul in music before taken away by cancer, and Ho was more marketable in every way.  Is Waikiki marketing due heroic statue?  Or, just a retread of old marketing, via statue?


"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"

Trump's tweet was sent at 3:35 am. Let us attempt to peel our way through the layers of crazy this single tweet reveals. "Terrible!" Trump is the Grand Poobah of simplistic adjectives. Great, very, hugely bigly, terrible, sad, failing, crooked. The man expresses himself like a ten year old. "Just found out..." - Someone informed Trump of this in the middle of the night? And his reaction was to instantly tweet about it at 3:30 am? Because that's all, you know, crazy. and finally, "This is McCarthyism!" McCarthyism? Could Trump even describe what that word represents?

This man is so transparently out of his depth and unsuitable for the presidency that supporting him is akin to cheering for a cartoon character president. This mass delusion cannot possibly hold. Snap out of it, Trump supporters, your guy is a charlatan.


How naïve.


I flew United four times last summer.  I decided to boycott them.

After this disgusting incident I hope they will be boycotted until they close.  Just horrific to be beaten then dragged off the plane to accommodate United employees.  Poor man.  Cannot imagine.....


Without tax breaks , why should oil companies even stay in Alaska ? They are treated better in third world countries.   How can they plan for anything when whining Alaskan's want to change the tax system all the time ?   For years oil has paid 90 percent of our bills yet democrats have cried wanting them to pay even more .  If I were oil companies---I'd say to heck with Alaska and pull out.  We Alaskan's have become blue eyed Arab's who want everything for free . We scream to kill the golden goose . How will Alaskan's get " their oil " without oil companies ?  We deserve a sinking state.


Alaskans will never impose a statewide personal income tax upon themselves. See: greedy to the point of self mutilation. See: ignorance; stupidity; infantile behavior.


My only complaint is that the actions by Republicans to excludes thousands if not millions of voters would offend only minorities.   I'm white and their dispicable strategy of blantantly targeted any group by income, location, race, is beyond angering to me.  I have no doubt that Democrats have their own shadowy corners of the election process, I know they've lied about independents seeking the right ,as citizens, to vote in primaries for instance.    There can be no doubt that self interest is a motivating factor for both parties.  But nothing that I've found compares to the Republican's honest campaign to exclude voters simply because they are unlikely to vote for Republicans.


All for it. Maybe your president can lead by example and start hire local labor at his properties and have his apparel made in the United States. What excuses will you make for his hypocrisy?


So you disagree with James, who said that good works are necessary to show that you actually have faith?


Don't get me wrong, I am not laughing with you.
The concept is simple, Tree's grow and die.  Young trees grow best by far when exposed to lots of light and water. They don't get that when shadowed by the canopy of a degenerating forest. Wildlife flourishes in the areas exposed to sun and water. People feed their families by harvesting this otherwise wasted highly renewable resource. Trees grow back.  I could take you places that have been logged and tell you that you were standing in an old growth forest and someone like you would never know the difference.


The Rav4 has a button you can push to lock in the 4WD under 25 MPH, nice feature that many other unibody CUVs don't offer...


What has Trump done so far to make America great again. Oh yes I remember ... wanting to take healthcare away from 23 million Americans . That should really make America great again. Yes we remember pre Obama when 50 million Americans did not have health care. But that is a minor detail after he promised the best health care system which would cover everyone . So he uses distractions like attacking CNN and MSNBC  so his voters won't pay attention to the health care issue. He is the master of distraction .


They need to arrest Obama for treason against the US, for allowing illegals into this country, and to allow them to stay.  He is a Muslim scum and a traitor!!!! Hang him high!!!


"Throughout the session, Ms. Meilleur maintained that she is a francophone first and a politician second and that she could be counted upon to act independently when it comes to protecting French-language rights."
Sounds like something Jack Parizeau would have said.
My ideal language commissioner would be a Canadian first, would not be swayed by politics in making the best decisions for Canada and would protect English and French equally.
Once again, we get an opportunist hack to promote the Airhead in Chief's agenda and paid for by you and me.

LoL, hey, vaping in the bathroom is a mad science but very effective. It takes a good dose of liquid courage and a thick scarf. Oh shoot, shouldn't have said that! Now the self appointed Natzi Reguatory Comittee will monitor all airplane bathrooms for potential vapor because when your 30k feet in the air in a tin can loaded with jet fuel that 'vapor' might be bad for your health.


A plethora of excuses? Try the current occupant who cannot abide even the most glancing of criticisms without striking back with personal attacks, irrelevancies, and his personal fairy tales.
And as for the words of Hillary coming back with a vengeance, if that wasn't a 'basket of deplorables' marching in Charlottesville, do you have a better description?
Hillary was turned into a target of opportunity a generation ago, a long term strategy of constant abuse that ranged from genuine criticism to vituperative allegations at all levels. Her major 'crime': a lack of charisma, in part due to her personal integrity.
I'm not saying she was perfect, nor do I agree with all her political positions. But she had honest positions in the first place. The current occupant has one principal position. Himself.
Sooner or later Mr. Jenkins you'll have to get off the Hillary express with the rest of the world and address a real topic.


Of course!  Winning or losing shouldn't have ANY importance regarding 'Breaking the Law'!  This woman has broken all the rules regarding Russia, the uranium deal, the $500,000.00 Bill got paid to give a speech by Russians, the tarmac meeting before the election, the 33,000 emails, the classified documents on Weiners computer, what more do you want.  There is NONE of this on Trump, none, but the Dimm's have started this witchhunt, and now it's time to go after the real Criminal!


I am glad he was mistreated in Gitmo. I don't like him and I hope never to run into him at Tim Horton's!


Do you not know how google works?


Most likely, yes.


Nice try, Tradcath.  My point was that the judge(s) who halted the order know the constitution better than you and Trump.  Granted, since the average middle school student knows the constitution better than Trump, that isn't saying much.  Trump's executive order is an abuse of power.  That is exactly what the courts are supposed to stop.


WOW. That's not at all what is going on. Way to misread a post and apply trendy buzzwords. Want to read his post again and try again. There's some truth in what he says, and you should really make a better attempt to extrapolate that truth.

Have you looked at foreign tuition? It's usually 4 to 5 times as high as domestic tuition, sometimes even higher. Do we really have to explain to you WHY colleges and universities would prefer to have students paying $10-20k per semester verses those who pay $2-6k? Not everything is a conspiracy theory. You just have to look at simple economics to understand what he says is going to happen to an extent (maybe not as widespread as he says, but still a problem, none the less)


Virginia?

The attack in Reston, VA has been deemed by Reston's police department to be not a hate-motivated attack but an incident of road rage committed.

And the perpetrator was an illegal alien from El Salvador, i.e. not a white person, but a non-white hispanic.

Xenophobic terror? Gimme a break.

Please get your facts straight.

For those of you who wasted 10 minutes reading this article, please keep in mind, this is the level of rigour this author typically writes with. The next time a terror attack happens, you can bet this author will write up another sentimental screed. You'd do yourself good by disregarding her subsequent screed.


It's too bad, unofficial bios could have been fun.

Gary Johnson - "... When he is not have 'Aleppo Moments,' Mr. Johnson advocates to legalize marijuana and move to Mars to avoid climate change. ..."

Donald Trump - "Mr. Trump is the first Orange man to run for President. ..."

Hilary Clinton - "The wife of a serial philanderer who used to the be the President and should be judged for his actions as if they were her own. ..."

Jill Stein - "We think she is for the environment, but we have heard nothing about her in the media so we are only basing our bio on her political party. ..."


Yeah that mentality worked so well in...Vietnam, who we were never able to defeat militarily. Iraq in 2003 remember Bush with all of his swagger, we are tough and you better not mess with us, 7 TRILLION dollars later massively in debt thousands of lives lost and destroyed. Over a decade of war and now what we have to go back AGAIN, because the third time will be so different.  Superpower? Yeah that worked so great for the British and Soviets and now us in Afghanistan. If we are so tough then why don't we ever win? Did you actually say freedom as if this had anything to do with freedom. The US is not nor has it ever been interested in exporting freedom and in fact we have all but abandoned it here at home, just as Murrow predicted. It is because of people like you who don't read or have an education that stupid crap like this missile attack is allowed to happen.


Again: "So Byard, if you have a reason why mill workers should work longer than teachers, I'd truly like to hear it."


We should not be paying public employees to edit or make propaganda out of police videos.


Richard. I suggest you never have an abortion then.

But, since you cannot maybe you and your religious ilk can stop trying to get between women and their doctors.

If you truly care this much about this "For the kids" chant you keep spouting, how many orphans have you adopted to help with the problem?

Sitting on a mountain top casting judgement is easy. Fixing the problem is not easy.

You are shaming women, perhaps you are not mansplaining it will enough to these women.


Then go ahead and say it.

But I do not.


There are going to be days like this...for ANY QB. Does anyone think Brady, Manning, Rodgers, or any other QB's have not had some bad days in training camp? Denver has a really really good secondary and they were playing red zone offense against that secondary. Things are tight down there, sometimes bad things are going to happen. But both Siemian and Lynch also made plays. People just need to relax! It is the fourth day of training camp, the first in pads...long ways to go.


Technically, Jones is a "Jeffersonian Liberal", he is anti-GOP.


well if it as me I just would have jumped out of the way.


Pump the Alaskan oil out of the ground,for an average cost of $70 a barrel..Sell the oil to the Chinese,for $35 a barrel..Take $35 from the Alaskan PFD,to cover the amount you lose,on every barrel you sell..Pay off the politicians,with the money you steal from Alaskans,to keep the scam going,as long as you possibly can..


Funny how many of the posts here criticize the presence of this article instead of criticizing the idiotic act of this individual.  Seems to me these poster are protecting their racism.


If I was asked if this was a civil comment I would've registered no. It presents a true searching of a soul and the God I know would not suggest he walk out the door.


Ohhh hahahahahahahaha! Another loony fairy tale from the big, fat, orange buffoon.


Scary stuff.  A man who was given the highest Russian civilian award is now responsible for all things international.   I smell a coup in the making.


So it takes Federal officers to find this dealer, Federal Officers to take him out of commission. Hopefully Federal Penitentiary Time will be the result. It's a good thing the Feds were there, since APD doesn't have a clue about the extent or depth of the crime wave and opoid crisis enveloping the state. Everyone on my block has given up on calling them for Anything. They've already decided that they will start taking care of the problems themselves. There isn't really a choice as the Big-Box merchants have capitulated to the thieves and the junkies know they face no consequences for loading up a cart full of tools and calmly walking out the door. They take their stolen goods, trade it for drugs, then break into peoples' homes and yards/outbuildings/cars to get more stolen goods for more drugs. 'Law enforcement' is a joke and only used against people who commit Revenue-Generating crime. SB91 made it worse, and it's continuing downhill. Can we trade the Mayor and APD for the DEA?


Keeau Beach is lawless.  Has been for years.


HEI has used similar tactics in Hawaii in the past, e.g. HEI's years-long PR campaign to tell us how "green" HEI wants to be, while constantly dragging its heals in its efforts to actually reduce our dependency on imported fossil fuels, and replace them with local renewable resources, because doing so faster would violate its primary fiduciary responsibility to maximize return on investment to HEI's shareholders and over-paid executives.

So I think the "undue" influence you perceive between state government and HEI is real, but in a nearly opposite sense. I think it is HEI that has had undue influence over some state legislators in the present and past, who have taken actions to protect HEI's monopoly profits, and to restrict customer freedom of choice regarding where and how they get their electricity.--con't


"...it is in fact you that(sic) is engaging us...".  "Us"?
Curious self-identification Buster.  You situate yourself with some interesting company. Who is/are this "us"?
To contend that you "... don't start these threads, I respond to them, is quite pretentious as if you are some dark eminence.
Maybe you mistook my comment as directed to you. It was not. So in fact you did start this. It does however end here, with me.


How ridiculous. From a nation where the largest threats to the government are  Facebook and Google the gullible and naive eco-idiots jump with glee at prounouncements like these. The shameful western MSM accepts at face value every announcement that defies the position of the US and lap it up like little cats at the cream. Countries like China and India are light years behind the west and have the most lax environmental regimes on the planet yet everytime they make an announcement they are trotted out as the shining light of reason when in fact they are the worst possible examples. That matters not to the media. Status quo.


"Generations of aboriginal people have had every opportunity to do what Joseph Boyden did, tell stories that are beautiful in structure, deep in emotion and lasting in their impression. They didn't. "

I guess you haven't read any real Indigenous writers. Shame on you for dismissing all those great Indigenous writers like Thomas King, Tomson Highway, Richard Wagamese, Richard Van Camp, Eden Robinson, Lee Maracle, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Katherena Vermette and many more.

Generations of Aboriginal writers haven't had every opportunity to do what a white writer like Boyden did. That's total BS. Nobody would even publish Indigenous writers. They had to self-publish or start their own publishing houses.

Indigenous writers were never taken seriously - they were never read, reviewed, studied, given grants or awards. I guess the CanLit crowd prefers writers who are just 'playing Indian'.


Finally a full service grocery store in Waikiki. Thank you!  However, Food Pantry has always met my needs for produce and small items. In fact their produce is fresh.

After the devastation wrought by Harvey in the Houston area, everyone in the path of category 5 Irma should pay close attention and take every possible precaution. Barbuda and St. Martin were especially vulnerable given the hurricane's path and those islands preponderance of flimsy wood housing. With Florida also in the crosshairs of this powerful storm and Hurricane Jose on deck, the end of this storm season couldn't come soon enough. Good luck to everyone facing this meteorological maelstrom.

On-demand convenience abortions are a pillar of enlightened liberalism.


I see his statements as an approval of something to be desired.
I thin that his statements are reflective of the attitude in the Church of many clergy (as well as those who are like some of the commenters here) who hold to the position that any who question the positions of the institution ought to be cast off.
This position totally ignores the fact that it's human beings who are interpreting the messages of the Holy Spirit and that, sometimes, they get things wrong.


Now all we need for the wall is a video image recognition system similar to what Apple uses in iPhone X to recognize faces, except this will recognize animals and humans.
If it’s a lonely little prairie dog or a deer chased by a mountain lion, a gate will open to allow them to pass. If it’s not, and stands on two legs like a human, the barrier stays closed.
The French had a super-high frequency RADAR that could differentiate between a mule and a human, and used it in Vietnam to keep out undesirables. Perhaps that’s what we need on our  border.


I'm Hawaiian and find the protest and prolonged hearings embarrassing.  Respect the past. Build the TMT for the future.  Awaiting insults about how I am a traitor to my race, ignorant, and other such.


**Reagan's tax economic policies increased the deficit more than the increase in tax revenues.--- aiea7"
-
Not true.
The budget deficits from the Reagan tax cuts of 1986 actually reduced the deficits from $221.2B in 1986 to $152.5B in 1989 the year Reagan left office as follow:
*$149.7B in 1987.
*$155.2B in 1988
*$152.5B in 1989

At a small fraction of what renewables get, when you bother to compare them fairly (i.e. as a percentage of the volume each produces).


They're on the City Counsel. They deal with zoning, ordinances, contracts, etc. it's not their job to impede Federal immigration enforcement. If they want to be activists, do it on their own time and stay within their job duties.


I contacted Senator Sullivan and Congressman Young via their Anchorage offices.  I requested they both sit down with an Alaskan reporter of their choice to address some of the concerns of their constituents before going back to DC.  It doesn't appear that happened.


It's none of NJI's business to be remarking on the  conduct of the trial. Their participation should be limited to the rationale for secrecy around the training materials.  If their intervention on other matters is taken into account, there is grounds for appeal right there.


"clearly"
because something is now missing....
just a wee little bit of assumption in there yes ?
Maybe some store employee hated the cop and "accidentally" deleted the video ?  Maybe The police picked it up, put it on a thumb drive and then sat on it and broke the thumb drive ?  Maybe it got given the same level of "priority" as the over 1,500 rape kits and just stuck on some shelf someplace and forgotten where it went ?

Stop making assumptions. Seek the facts and find truth before you toss out a biased opinion.


I have held Chartwell for a few years now and hope that my profits from it will help to pay for my accommodations at a Chartwell residence if it should come to that down the road.


Pay as much of your own way as reasonably possible, yes.

If that's somehow become a bad thing in this country, we're REALLY screwed.


Who cares about Trump when we're talking about this? The info was leaked from the NYT, which is staunchly opposed to his administration. Furthermore, the real issues here are Islam and terrorism, but the media and regressive leftists would have you believe there are no correlation between the two.


He did lie about it. To say otherwise, it is a fabrication from your side.


Who cares? It's obvious you couldn't do a fraction of the job Floyd Prozanski does, he will be reelected, and your comrades in law enforcement don't drug test either. Steroids, opiates, oh my! Where is the almighty accountability on your one-way street? How many LCS, SPD, and EPD smoke cannabis?


Don't be ridiculous. You are making things up again.


You're right. To put it in perspective, let's say Trump has three billion dollars. ( He says he has more). There's a thousand million in a billion. So, he has three thousand million if he's not lying. If he donates one million, that's 1/3000 of his wealth. That leaves him with two billion, nine-hundred ninety-nine million. And he can write it off in taxes.


Did you actually just say: "Church Tradition began with Pius IX"?


Sorry, but you are dead wrong about the medical school in Saba.

It specializes in teaching qualified doctors about diving (decompression) accidents and has internationally recognized staff together with the best recompression equipment  in the advanced world.

After she developed the bends near St. Maartin, my daughter was flown to Saba in a special low altitude flight for treatment by American doctors who taught dive medicine in Saba. She recovered fully.

The dive medicine school in Saba is not a "diploma mill". It is a world renowned medical school.


The Globe has unfortunately been descending into pandering for quite a while now.

Believe it or not I think you're partly right.  If you'd left out "And black privilege is very evident in UO athletics, is it not?" you'd have been all right.  But with your last baiting of your ideological opponents you push things so far that you lose all validity.


And this is relevant to the present discussion how, exactly?


Sarah, we were on the trail today and watching for signs of your dad.  My 13 year old daughter called his name many times throughout our hike.  There are many great people looking for him (we saw them throughout our time on the trail) and we have great hope that he will be found.  Our prayers are with you and your family.


Just another expensive plan to hire Hancock neighbors and friends to run this and most other non essential programs in the city. Talk about patronage! Hancock, like his mentor, former Mayor Webb, enjoys dolling out positions to his friends and neighbors. Look at O'Malley (Webb's Daughter) as one HUGE example. Why she is kept on as Safety Manager even though she is a HORRIBLE manager who has been on the City Payrolls for many years... it's because of her ties to Webb and Hancock. This is simply another program for 'feel good' folks who think their city will be safer.


Donald's best move here is to shut the heck up for the time being.  (Of course we all know he is unable to resist running his mouth, but that is another problem.) Let the evidence be presented if there is any and then make a judgement.

Each time he denies this out of hand, he looks like a Russian stooge.


Dutchie:

And your point is what? You are not going to watch? So why the interest here, sport?


If we had sharia law.  No money wasted on jail.
Off comes the hand 😊


Your recollection is not accurate.     Wright wrote DUFFY a cheque.    He didn't pay anything back - he PAID DUFFY.     That is the only fact that is indisputable.

What that cheque was for is completely open for debate.


"A June letter informing residents that police and K-9s would be accompanying housing inspectors didn’t inform residents they had a constitutional right to refuse entry to police without a search warrant. "

I don't think people should be depending on someone else to tell them what their Constitutional Rights are.  The Constitution text has always been readily available, more so in the internet age.  Even still you can obtain your own pocket guide for free

So, the Alaska School Activities Association says, "we didn't do it, if you don't like it don't come whining to me"? OK, so who at the school decides? Is it the principal? If the parents don't like the decision, regardless of what it is, who do they complain to? Parents can't have a principal disciplined.


fished from (the fee station)...hmmmm hook the holes in the envelopes?


How's that Republican outreach to women voters coming, Nick? lol

But seriously, as a gun owner and hunter, I don't appreciate that Trump's incendiary rhetoric and his slack-jawed followers' tacit approval of said incendiary rhetoric will damage the gun rights movement for years to come.


that GOP.. just cant make up their minds.. reagan spent billions tearing one down.. and now donnie want to build one.. wtf...


Pox on them.


Good questions.


Doug...cottages pay quite a bit for opp policing in Ontario....even more since the Wynne government brought in the new OPP funding model which is quite a hit to cottage area taxpayers.  Some renters are fine, the thing is you just never know who is going to show up and the owner is nowhere to be found.

 There are well known parking and garbage issues in addition to the noise.  Many renters are adding dishwashers and washing machines and showers without upgrading septic to serve the rental (mini hotel) market which overtime causes a breakdown of the lakewater.

Cottage resort and hotel owners have also spent money on their property and have to adhere to several regulations as well as pay income tax.  It's quite the double standard we have going on throughout the land.


Which is why I am glad to live in a country where the rule of law prevails despite what the majority of Canadians may "feel". Torture (or being complicit in torture) is a violation of Charter rights and international law, even if the person is a criminal or a terrorist.


Speculative bubbles are not broken by increased supply.


Yes, there is a reason not to.  This has turned into a large and continuing distraction.  The purpose of forming a borough assembly is to deal with the affairs of governance, not to pontificate for or against any religious practices.  Take it outside assembly chambers and get to work.  Or be voted out.


I'm thinking she should be treated to heli-skiing, except not the thrill of the helicopter ride. An ATV lift to a remote and snowy location. And no skis. I would give her a blanket though. Give her time to think about what she's done.....


Let's see. The ransom demand was for $200 but the owner is offering $1000 reward. I love stupid criminals.


Again we see a journalist miss the point that's right in front of his eyes.

I'll let you ponder it awhile with Windbourne, mckillio.


This will, of course, be used to try to shout down anybody who questions the number of Muslim immigrants and refugees that are let into the country.


I'm certainly not condoning this horrific crime with the following comment, and I'm not a medical professional. But, look at that kid's face.  It's not "normal."  My instincts tell me FAS or some other kind of maternal neonatal drug use.  Who knows what this boy's early years were like? We certainly hear enough horror stories to surmise.  Of course, he's a danger to society, and Mr. Johnson certainly didn't deserve to meet his end in this way, but maybe your anger and frustration (and votes!) would be best served by directing it toward current health care systems policies rather than this child (yes, I know he's 18 now.)  Just saying...


duali there is a place for money managers for certain assets. However, you must admit that most active management results in performance (after fees) worse than indexing. If CPP has actively managed assets with extremely high paid professionals, it would not take a genius to go through the portfolio and replace a lot of the active management with passive management which would lower fees, perhaps increase performance and have a negligible effect on volatility.


Good to have moolahs which she has. More or less can live anywhere. Wonder what I would do if I had her money. Think I would have a dry aged 2 pound steak. Oh hey I'm not rich like some of you guys. I haven't had the privilege of trying one.


may god the alt left lunatics in the liberals are just nut jobs, there is no other gender at birth than MALE or FEMALE! now they want what some kook parent to label thier kid as something else?and pray tell who would that work on passports since regardless of the bs coming from the alt left, the international community agreement treaties sets what is accepted information wise in passports, so if this nonsense goes thru, they will not get one since there is no place of anything other than male or female, that all other countries will accept!

this gay agenda of wynnies needs to be put down.


That is, quite simply, not true.  I have had many discussions/dialogue with posters here - reasonable posters who know how to exchange ideas with respect and conviction.  Not, of course, with those determined to go for the quick put-down, snark, sarcasm - you know.  The ones who post laughing faces on so many posts, or simply disagree for the sake of disagreeing with me and others.....

To your request to provide you with a comment that has altered the way I view things?  Altered?  Not really - but considered and respected views from other commenters?  Rock, John David, some others....even Bro on occasion....
 :-)  I have even found myself agreeing with Elagabalus recently and remarked on it.

Typically, these posters do not go for the silly put-down, and although I may disagree with their position, I can respect them. When you go for the cheap shot? "Lady Paprocki"?  Not so much - it just proves to me that there is nothing there in your argument worth considering.

Europe has taught us that bringing in various migrant groups who become a community draining the system, will eventually cause trouble.
How much violence have we imported since the Liberals decided to focus on Non European immigration and needs rather than abilities??


Stones?  Heck Harper & Baird were too foolish to realize anything would be needed after the bombing. Probably 'cause those 2 geniuses had witnessed so much prosperity burst out after other mindless bombing missions.

Ghadhafi paid restitution for the 1988 (!) bombing of Pam Am flight 103 - despite there being little conclusive evidence it was his doing.

That's more than geniuses Harper and Baird are ever going to pay for the murder, rape and seemingly endless violence the ISIS afflicted (thanks to the bombing) people of Libya are now experiencing.

(I'm just going to assume you're joking about the irresponsible Harper Government, or any western authority, being able to impose "responsible government" on anyone.  NATO never had the authority for regime change to begin with.)


How's the weather up there on your pedestal, Steve?


How could this article not include the words "Amazon" or "online" in it, Jeannette?


Couldn't have said it any better! I would add that the bastions of of industry and commerce have the unmitigated gall to criticize the credentials of graduates that they need while contributing nothing to their education. That's left to the student, the parents and the taxpayer.


You can rest assured that there are enough public sector employees to make Liberals stay in power for life


Actually, the legal impact of executive discretion primarily sets policy rather than precedent.  Omissions of Congress really sets precedent as much as affirmative acts.  The precedent of affirming the misfortune of innocent illegal children caused entirely by the action of their intentionally illegal parents is really precedent set by Congress, not an executive administrator who cannot abuse his discretion by condoning catch-22 illegalities.


May be a lenient sentence if his dad was a lawyer.


White guy kills, tougher gun laws not the answer.
Muslim guy kills, tougher immigration laws are the answer.
And the right wing wonders why they are labeled racist?


One can forgive Mr. Camp's error.  One can accept that people can change and that they should be given second chances.  But the fact that Mr. Camp's mindset needed to change so drastically argues against his suitability and capability as a judge.  We are not dealing here with some assembly line worker expressing out-of-date sentiments.  Judges are appointed as persons a cut above the average, and must be held to a higher standard of accountability than the rest of us mortals.  He must go.


Thank you for this informative writing expressing the Tribal Government and Village Council concurrence with the outcome of the BLM land planning and management process in the region.


He has taken every weekend off an golfed at least two of them. Are you serious?

What democrats fear is the resentment we are already feeling from around the world for electing a thin skinned racist demagogue.

If Trump feels like the links is the place to meet up with people and get to know them, why did he so heavily attack Obama for doing just that?

What Republican fear the most appears to be the removal of their double standard.


Anti- American liberals, this from a party that insults our military, our courts, our elected repersentatives?    You don't like being in the minority, none of us does.

Losers complain, winners train.    They don't hire a loudmouth with no experience, who doesn't want to be held accountable for his own behavior.


Yep, I was thinking that's a lot of car for an 18 year old. Still sad as all hell though.


Let's have a few 20 year sentences. Then we'll see this treason stop


James Reeves - You and other fluoridation opponents (FOs) dishonestly claim fluoridation is a form of medication without providing a shred of proof.  The lack of proof is explainable because fluoridation is not medication any more than other water treatment processes like disinfection, pH adjustment, corrosion control and coagulation/flocculation.  Disinfection also creates (according to anti-F standards) a toxic brew of disinfection byproducts.  All these processes (along with fluoridation) involving potentially poisonous chemicals to the water to protect and improve public health.  The proven benefits of all these treatment processes far outweigh any risks, and any residual chemicals from any of these processes are regulated to be within safe limits.  The EPA controls "the dosage and side effects" of all water treatment chemicals.  That is a fact you seem not to understand.


I agree that the prime minister is being very weaselish on this issue.


What an amazing outcome for our Town Square. All the King's horses and all the King's men will never put Humpty back together again.

What is a "Town Square" exactly?

Lets not forget The PAC and the Town Square were during the Knowles administration battling Ruth Moulton.


It's not racism. It's heartlessness.


"If he was so concerned, why didn't he bring it to us at the time?" Rep. Adam Schiff -Dem California - speaking today about the alleged Comey memo.

Democrats are starting to question Comey's motives and are beginning to get worried that if, as is likely the case, there is nothing here, they'll be the ones seen as usurping American democracy.


Just things made up by MSNBC .


The family will be in my prayers sorry to hear that we lost a hero


It's amazing that so many moderate Muslims can manage to see past that when you can't frank. Maybe time to start avoiding hose paranoid alt-right wbsites, eh?


costco run! hoard-mode on!

bonus points if you take the last case of toilet paper!


So , in the limited space allowed here, I give very compact explanation of the civil war and you disagree and basically say it was all about slavery. That fact is wrong. There were many other reasons, but you did show that the Southern states did not want to be governed by the North and that was the major reason for the war. Comparing the kkk and white nationalist to ISIS........really. That's good example of the partisan hyperbole that makes this whole subject a joke. All this crying and whining is not about racism, it's about partisan politics. You guys will be exposed for this as the details and investigation come out.


I wonder if it is the same 'teens' who tear up gas stations in Wisconsin and Minneapolis?

The Hick already has hero status. He cried for Nathan Dunlap. Remember?


If you lived in downtown, South Addition, you would understand.  On a daily basis gunfire is heard, garage doors attempted by crow bar to be opened - to thieve vehicles, doors are busted-in.  Normal, law abiding citizens have taken to retaliation for good reason.


Aside from all of the other things being said, I'm old enough to remember when an unemployment rate of more than 5 per cent was cause for concern; if it rose above 6 per cent, government was expected to "do something" about it. The figures being published today are nothing to celebrate.


Ever since Mr. Trump gained the presidency, every move he makes, even that of his family members, has been roundly questioned and criticized by the Mainstream Media.  The glaring question that NO ONE seems to ask is, where was all of this critical scrutiny and fact-checking the past 8 years when The Incompetent One made decision after decision that weakened and reduced America's standing in the world and which ultimately strengthened our enemies?  Where was it?  You're right; Glaringly absent and silent, lest any detractors be accused of "RACISM".  What a pile of opala.  The Sore Losers continue to try to topple this man who is trying to reverse the disastrous course that obama set us on.  They care not for the future of this once great nation.  Like 2 year old spoiled brats, they will continue to throw their temper tantrums until they bring him and country down.


It's not surprise that male and female body parts are front and center in America's presidential campaign.  Thanks p__y grabber Trump.


"We love this job, we love this department…"

Who is this "we" he keeps referring to throughout the article?


Well-played with the sarcasm, Earl.


you should know good and well Dems controlled all 3 for a mere 2 months in the middle of unprecedented obsessive partisan obstruction, delay, and deflection by the blatantly butthurt never right, which it sounds as tho you are part of. that you claim this most proper lawsuit is somehow a waste of time certainly enforces such a view of your stance.


We know you cry like a little girl!  Don't deny it!


Those are really ignorant statements. 1) they do, in fact use slash from their logging activity, along with sawdust, planer shavings and bark from their milling operation, as well as purchasing from others. The material that is burned in industrial biomass boilers is generally referred to as Hog Fuel. It is not the cleanest of biomass product. Clean chips and dry shavings are often sold to paper and engineered panel producers. 2) there is virtually zero emission from these facilities. The discharge that you see from these plants is pure water vapor. Electrostatic precipitators and other filters remove virtually all carbon and metals from the air and water used. We are talking parts per billion. The discharge is actually cleaner than the air and water the facility takes in for its operation. These are the requirements under Title V permits, with penalties running into the millions, plus additional exposure under the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts.


I'm surprised Obama isn't all over this in his quest to take away our guns.   After all , this was the same area he had dinner at on his visit to Alaska.


Cutting the bloated budget is also fair and simple. It just takes fair and honest people to do it.


Ha ha ha. Just let Obamacare implode from the inside out. Ha ha ha. When this sh!t implodes carry an umbrella. Goo can be a sticky mess. Yuck.


If something military happens it would be an unprecedented tragedy. But it would also have little or no long term impact on the global economy. So stop with the scare mongering. It makes a bad situation worse.


I agree - but left wing extremists are desperate.
For anyone that is voting for Hillary Clinton, they are essentially voting for the devil in the flesh.
Citizens for honest government want to educate the left-wing extremists:

Incredible journalism.  We've been maga duped ....


Will Trudeau campaign for Wynne as hard as she campaigned for him?


Wrong. I trust them and a majority trust them as this article points out. The end is near for the orange buffoon of doom (OBOD) and the ridiculous Russia loving traitors that support him. The end will come as overnight. The investigations are going to cripple his administration and we'll be down here at Mar-A-Lago watching as he retreats there and decides how to resign...


Mark, I always read your comments, good factual data, I respect that.

But, data is not a prognosticator , that requires human input, and that is why the 'science' becomes questionable !


Wonder if PD used DT as an example of a non-Christian to his parishioners?  Safe here, but not in an RC parish & in his part of MD that may have voted more for DT than HC. PD often used his parish as a foil for his columns; not this time.
Certainly, the like of his own cardinal, another Donald, or cardinal Timothy D. wouldn't dare frame DT's version of Christianity as such.  Then again, DT got an honorary doctorate in Christian Theology from Trump U.


Quote "Pay for HSTA’s most senior teachers ... will increase to $91,950 over the life of the contract."  Wow!  How will the State afford all of these raises?


The problem is she really means it.


Its time to address the fact that Canada has the most liberal immigration policy in the world.Why is that necessary?What is unique about our nation that requires such an extreme policy?This is poor governance and costs the taxpayers 30 billion a year.We need a more moderate immigration policy to address our needs and meet our responsibilities.Why is this a huge problem and taboo to suggest?


The people who gave away your oil with SB-21 are now going to destroy the Alaska economy and hurt Alaska families by raiding the Permanent Fund to pay for the theft of our oil.

These are the simple facts:

1. The money that will be taken from Alaska families will just about equal the corporate welfare subsides the Senate fought to give Big Oil.

2.  The money stolen from Alaska families will hurt the Alaska economy.

3. At current oil prices about $10 billion dollars worth of oil is taken from Alaska every year.  It is tax free.  We only get a royalty.  This is unconstitutional, and is the single biggest reason Alaska has a $4 billion dollar deficit.

The nonsense that we have to destroy the dividend program in order to save it is spin.  It covers up the fact we are giving away our oil, AND paying hundreds of millions in corporate welfare that caused this deficit.


MillionMonkeys>  At that point in time there will be nothing to worry about.  Don't care about his tax returns or anyone else's tax returns.  As far as I'm concerned  it's none of my business and that;s how it should be!!!!  You people talk about being childish, that goes for all of you too.  Ha, ha, Ha!!!!  Losers!!!!


First of all, I am not Rena.  Secondly, I noticed ever time i comment, even if its on thanking chad for the article, you attack me.  You must be a woman beater.


Regarding; "... I don't read fiction when I want to learn what the Church teaches."
- This begs the question, why do you read the NCR and the respondent bloggers? Based on your responses, you appear to be certain that you are not reading what the Church teaches.


Only on the first or third beats. We don't want to cause scandal.


It is painting two (2) people as seeing a chance to make some quick money by selling a specific woman to the people who stole her.

The article references the landmark Jane Doe decision against the Toronto police in the 1990s.  Here's an excerpt from the Court's summary of that decision:

"The police force failed utterly in their duty to protect the plaintiff and the other victims from a serial rapist known to be in their midst by failing to warn them so that they might have had the opportunity to take steps to protect themselves....

"The police investigation was carried out in a way that denied the plaintiff equal protection and equal benefit of law as guaranteed to her by s. 15(1) of the Charter. The conduct of the investigation and, in particular, the failure to warn was motivated and informed by the adherence to rape myths as well as sexist stereotypical reasoning about rape, about women, and about women who are raped... Women were treated differently because some members of the force adhered to sexist notions that, if warned, women would panic and scare off the attacker...."

This would be a awesome.  The RTD gets 1.1% sales tax on every item that has sales tax.  Along with government subsidies and fares this gross mismanagement of funds is criminal.  The light rail should have been a home run but poor planning and obvious cronyism for inept contractors has hamstrung the latest projects.  How many other municipalities have a train system that works? This is a proven technology that should not be riddled with failure as this one is. Maybe it will take a competitor to make RTD step back and realize it can no longer produce a shoddy product for the metro areas public transportation needs.


McConnell gets one right! This is excellent news.


Daughter is a term of art in many fields.
To wit:
1.  " In nuclear physics, a decay product (also known as a daughter product, daughter isotope or daughter nuclide) is the remaining nuclide left over from radioacitve decay....--Wikipedia: "Decay Product"
2. "Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle..."  --Wikipedia: "Cell division."
3.  "_Adactylidium_: The single male offspring mite mates with all the daughters when they are still in the mother. "--Wikipedia: Inbreeding."
4.  "A female-biased sex ratio of wolf pups conforms to Hiraiwa-Hasegawa’s hypothesis of the advantaged daughter, proposed for species in which mothers are able to influence the reproductive success of their daughters through transmission of rank."
--http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/abs/10.1139/Z07-001#.Wf
“Daughter” is completely appropriate and is appreciated in this context.


"Neurobiology, psychology and psychiatry have brought to light"  apparently nothing on any other topic.

This is actually one of Francis's better and thoughtful speeches.  It's just sad he can't apply the same insights from the same sciences to any other Catholic sexual issue.


great insight regarding climate if you think a change at a local level in emissions = a change in the local weather (it is weather, not climate that presumably you mean didn't change given climate generally represents a 30 year interval).


Yup, because only he lies.
No leader of a 'Western democracy" ever did that. Not Bush. Not Blair. And not Poroshenko (your uncle).
You are pathetic.


Ever notice that any news article about oil exploration inAlaska always draws allegations of "giveaways" to the oil company? If that were really the case, wouldn't there be a flurry of competitors flocking to get in on the windfall? We have ONE major oil company that hasn't abandoned Alaska. Perhaps we should encourage them?


And to quote Rhett Butler in "Gone With the Wind", "Frankly, My dear, I don't give a dam."

Cultural "sensitivity" was introduced into this story line to excuse an egregious bit of conduct just because someone has a cultural hot button.


One more random Burmese menu item in town: Mohinga (catfish chowder, sort of Burma's answer to pho) at Tin Tin Thai on Division, around 160th.


My question and questions are simple.  Does Boeing have a case? Do the aircraft produced and sold undercut the market due to subsidies?  On that thought do we play fare with dairy marketing boards and are we not charging proper stumpage fees on crown land for lumber.  Coincidence that Quebec is a beneficiary in most of these cases.  Meanwhile Quebec gets about 8 billion a year in equilization, about what AB puts in.   Meanwhile we have scrambled brains talking off topic at Nafta about Aborigonal rights, gender equality and the environment.  The environment would have a place, except the President just told the world to stuff the Paris accord.  Desparate Liberals know that we cannot compete with the USA if we incur the cost of Paris and the US does not.  At the same time be sure Quebec pandering is being protected at the risk of the Nafta agreement and the Canadian economy.   Oh ya Paris...bet the firms in Quebec were just lining up to get government cash to pay for emission reduction.

The CPP has turned into another form of money grab for government. It's value for workers at very limited in today's reality, and the latest changes are only to appease businesses that want to cancel or reduce their own benefits. Workers always end up at the bad end of the stick, and politicians trying to portray this as a good thing is just an outright lie.


Kag - that's okay....EWTN is offensive


Governments do not create wealth, the people do. But the people are have to cover the bill of government over spending.

These Liberals suck plain and simple. They should stop looking to the 2020s, if things keep going this way they will be sent back to third place like in 2011.


Wouldn't it be great if McCain flew back to DC and voted NO on this bill?


You're a troll without your own account.


Rochdale, I know that intellectual probity and civic integrity is not your forte. Yet, could you back up your strident claim here with some empirically based, independently verifiable source? Just for the sake of fairness, and avoidance of sounding like Agent Orange, the tweeting twit from  south of the border? Eh?


I'll put it this way.  You basically said that "but for men, the world would not be as great as it is today".  That is ridiculous.  This suggests that women had nothing to do with it.  That is outrageous on many levels, and can be countered with even a basic understanding of history.

I might also suggest another angle...."but for men, this world may have been far further along".  Think of all of the deaths that have occurred over the last centuries at least in part because of so-called "masculinity" (as defined in the traditional sense). I'm not arguing this viewpoint, but if I were to I could come up with better support for this position than what you said.


With the revelation over the past few months that insiders have been leaking to the media, it was not unreasonable for Trump to inquire about loyalty. Comey said he would be "honestly loyal." But by his own admission, he wasn't. Yesterday we learned he was sneaky and self-directed. And the fact that he leaked his own memos to the press in order to hurt Trump (for saying the FBI was in disarray which it was!) proves him both dishonest and disloyal. I wonder why no one is mentioning this elephant in the room.


mu 200 square foot room in Manoa you mean?


Deplorables there, sewer rats here - how about a grotesquely fat health minister.


Isn't all science "liberal indoctrination " according to the right?


No too much different from the wasted space they build into these new schools either.


It speaks volumes that The Republican Party is OK with this behaviour.


"This white privilege business is nonsense by social justice warriors who never lived through the hard times."

I like the way a grumpy old man put it on these boards a few months back, something like " I am sorry to say it, but what Canada really, really needs is a horrific war and plague that kills off a quarter of the population, that is what it would take to re-set the mindset of this country back to anything like a reasonable perspective, people nowadays get so bent out of shape over such inane ridiculousness".


The Orange Flake does not run 'billions in production and business'.  That's made up.  False. A lie.  His total worth is barely billions, and he runs nothing.  Just a huckster and front for a poorly run business.


liberal governments should never be an option.

Yes, the word comes from the city of Sodom, and the act has its own name to distinguish it from sex, the act that only a male/female couple can engage in.  People should be using the word, but are so disgusted by the act that they whitewash it by using the term "sex" as a substitute.


Hey Lee, its called "sin."  All the holier than thou rich people have sin problems.


Another poor headline from the Globe. It has yet to be established that the man who died was killed as a result of the attack, in fact it appears that he was being helped by people for a medical emergency before the van arrived on the scene. I hope this isn't going to escalate into tit-for-tat attacks.


I realise numbers are not a strong point among the alt-right, but you do know that Hillary got almost 3 million more votes than Trump? I would not hold my breath if I were you.


That actually applies to most American Voters. Have you looked at Truth Twistin Trumps disapproval ratings recently? Historic lows. Only Gerald Ford and Clinton got lower ratings.


Jesus set up His Church for the salvation for all men.  It is man who excludes himself from Jesus and His church, not the other way round. Not sure what you're referring to in terms of the Church's track record - but if your referring to the condemnation of certain practices and behaviors, well, then of course she is going to try and lead men away from those things that will damn them.  That is he job.

No matter what Ellis accomplished , it sad to find out he lied to the people of Alaska all these years out of fear of not getting re-elected. If others showed " courage " coming out , Ellis did not.  While it's correct to wish him the best and thank him for what he has done and hope he regains his health ,  it was wrong of him to hide that he was gay all these years just to keep his job.  Wohlforth claims Alaska is a better place now thanks to accepted gay rights . He is wrong. We are a lesser state for allowing our morals to sink into the gutter.


Don't you feel any irony noting that the US was undemocratic long before Trump, but then being angry at people casting about for some relief and choosing Trump?  What prior state are you hoping to preserve?


Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica , Cannabis Ruderslis. That's all genus of cannabis plant  The difference with industrial hemp is its designated at .3% thc or lower.  It is the exact same genus of plant    Try googling it not weebly or leafly. I have grown industrial hemp in Montana and Colorado I grow medical marijuana in Colorado I know the difference


A worthy product? It already is a worthy product. If it is not worthy why do we import over $500 million dollars worth of hemp from China and Canada?

The problem is the government.
I would love to grow hemp on my farm, but I am not allowed, even if I ask nicely.
Why? I can not come up with one rational reason, nor can you.


Does the Globe and Mail have no shame?

None at all?

How can any self-respecting newspaper talk about skyrocketing house prices in the Vancouver region without mentioning, even once, money from overseas, money from China?

This newspaper has sold its soul to political correctness and social engineering.

There is something SERIOUSLY messed up when it is the South China Morning Post that more frequently names truth than do our own dailies...


The RINO McCain needs to retire and have his damaged brain tended to.

At least he's lucky he and his fellow congress critters unethically exempted themselves from the debacle known as Obamacare, while the rest of us continue to get screwed on our healthcare costs.


Flagging and removing comments like this one is one of the reasons NCR has been losing, and will continue to lose, readers from this site.
We're adults. We know how to read, even when it's badly written. We know how to respond to something we want to respond to.

Your desire to add this road likely reflects a very small minority, as this will be a toll road. The handful of times I have been on E-470/NW Parkway, at all times of the day, I have yet to see enough volume to lead me to believe there is a great untapped market of road users in the metro area willing to shell out the cash to expedite their travels. Building this road will will benefit only a few, while being built with tax dollars that should benefit many.

And another poster mentioned, if access to I-70 was a consideration for you, it's something you should have taken into account when deciding on a place to live. It was to me and my SO, and she and I understood that would require a compromise in regards to travel time elsewhere, as well as an increase of the cost of our home.


That attitude is what keeps many people in poverty.  I was born in poverty.  My family has worked their way out of it.


Government MUST go. Wynne is a bad nightmare that haunts Ontario every day!

Donny was seeking advice re- his "Toronto problem," his sign coming down from the hotel -- and even worse, the drop in his online fan base there from a dozen to a half-dozen. Vlad offered to use his cyber team for a bit of helpful hacking, as in the sabotage of Hillary's election, but Donny mused about nukes. Vlad advised against nuking Toronto at least for now, he'd made a killing there on waterfront condos, and besides, "the big rubber duck was good." Donny mused about nuking his Congress, "can't even kill Obamacare for me," and Vlad shrugged. That's all, routine stuff.


Too bad Pierre Trudeau is not here to teach Justin Trudeau about trade.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau called the FTA a “monstrous swindle.”

Wouldn't Foreign Investment Review ensuring a net benefit to Canada and Canadians and a National Energy Plan ensuring in this cold country domestic needs are met, make sense today?


Ryan's "solutions" we're horrible....Reducing safety net programs beyond the bare bone and "block granting" the programs to the states with greatly reduced funds and vague mandates.


It's clear that we need this expanded housing, so it feels natural just to read this and think, "Good."

But I can't forget that this whole huge project wasn't even in the City's plans when it came up for the Opportunity Fund grant this year.  That's especially striking when the Housing Authority's director says the project is "long overdue" and "the largest development in years."  --  it does seem like the sort of undertaking that would need good, solid advance planning.

There are other worrisome things about this report  --  e.g., shouldn't the reengineering of part of the city's street grid be based on more than "They said high school kids fly down Park [Avenue]"?   You know, something old-fashioned like data?

I certainly wish this project well  --  and have the uneasy feeling that it may need luck to replace the solid analysis and planning that seems not to have been done.


Sentra all the way, the Focus is a disaster after driving home in limp mode way too often, junk.


"Should those who have (and have worked hard all their lives) be required to pay for these have-nots,"

You're making a lot of assumptions here. First, you don't think that the people who are coming here are typically among the most motivated and hardest working? I've had the pleasure to meet a number of recent latino refugees and from my experience this is absolutely true. Their motives for coming here are no different than those of our ancestors - in search of a better life for them and their families, a life with security and opportunity.

You assume that immigrants and refugees come here for the express purpose of "taking" from us in perpetuity? Any assistance they receive is short lived and I can tell you that those refugees I've met received no more than a month's worth of housing (at a local YMCA) before they went out on their own, started learning English and French and got jobs and paying taxes.


(pass the bill on Friday or keep Obamacare in place.)
Good for Trump, either way it's a win for him and the hard line Republican's are left holding the bag of - - - -


There is no reason for anybody to be going over the speed limit in any lane.


Removing a symbol of hate and/or repugnant ideology from public areas is not "erasing history;" it's just not glorifying those parts of it that demean our values. Why should we have monuments to those who have tried to destroy out nation? That celebrate racism and hatred?  Should we erect statues celebrating the KKK? Redrawing districts to facilitate a win by one party if the other? How about statues praising Hitler? And if you're really concerned about erasing history look at how the Right has literally erased history  in textbooks used to teach our children all over the United States. That's a real thing.


Trump Impeachment Is Most Popular Solution Among Americans, Poll Says


John, there is no burden to prove something safe. Nothing is 100% safe. The burden is on those claiming it is unsafe. If there is no data to suggest this, then they are fear mongering.

I respect your admiration of peer-reviewed publications, but your expectation of random commenters to cite published studies on the safety of anything is bordering on the absurd. This is a comment section, not a peer-reviewed article not to mention as I mentioned above it is impossible to prove anything is 100% safe...you can overdose from drinking too much water or milk. Heavens even underpants might have some unsafe aspects.

Anyways, Alohas.


When did the POTUS call someone an "ogre?"

You and the truth should really get together sometime.


" the “free individual” will need to be bailed out by society or not pay their bills and have society absorb the cost."  Wrong !
With out government intervention, hospitals will not be forced to see every one that comes into their emergency rooms IF they do not want to.
Hospitals would have the choice how they are set up, & just who they want to serve.
The hospital may want to purchase insurance against deadbeats, & those that just die with out paying their bill.
 but the public at large would, & should be held harmless.
I have both auto, & medical insurance, so there !  Lol


Your link gives me a "403 Forbidden" error message. But I'll hazard a guess that the $225K you are talking about is gross income before the costs of office staff, assistants, supplies, rent etc.
But even if it was net income after all business expenses... that isn't even close to enough to by a house in Vancouver. It's barely enough for a modest condo.


"Men are exempted as well if they are bleeding just as much, due to injury, or wound, etc."

Except for the fact that men rarely have a bleeding wound that repeats every 28-days.  This is just a sly way of enforcing gender inequality.  If these people can get away with this then what are the next steps?


No problem, i am all ready for winter.  I'm going to start on 2012 tomorrow, plenty of time.


And Trump is going to cozy up to Putin and Assad, the very people who dropped barrel bombs on Aleppo indiscriminately killing thousands.
How is that going to help the people of Syria?


You apparently haven't read the bible, what the church binds on earth is bound in heaven.  And of course, we have many examples of the Church having to put aside some of that Gospel stuff because it just doesn't work.  Remember the abuse scandal?  Turns out Jesus and that whole millstone business was not acceptable to the Church, which, in its inerrancy placed the protection of its reputation over the protection of the flock.  Jesus went on about humility in his followers, but the Church recognizes that it is necessary to be lead by Princes, dressed as Princes, so humility for the followers of the Apostles is out.  These are just a few examples where the Church had to jettison those scriptural passages that didn't work.  You can have scripture, or you can have the Holy Mother Church, lead by Our Holy Father.  I'll stick with the Traditions and Rituals that lead to Salvation, if you don't mind.


I was a republican for the simple purpose of them suppose to be pro business, I have been repeatedly been disappointed over the years when looking at the big picture. Over the years there have been cost overrun on projects, wasteful spending on Docks, bridges, office building, bribes, etc. on the national lever there is out right lies, especially from our President of whom I never voted for and figured he was going to be a nut, how right I was, I   never voted for Hillary either because I didn't like her. Alaska is a repub state, I would suggest all voters to recognize there are nuts in each party and to pick candidates on there stands, not by party, that's what I am going to do. I have never agreed on some stands Lisa made in the past, but, my hats off on her brave stance on voting against the  Devos appointment, it's things like Devos that gets under my skin just because her family gave 200 mil to the republicans.


Just so this isn't another case where the G-men cozy up to some vulnerable disaffected guy and give him inert training C4 then egg him on with an "informant" who wants some and then arrest him and claim they took another dangerous domestic terrorist off the streets.


When Trump fails to put his 282 promises into actual play the conservatives will take revenge by not reelecting the incumbent Republicans; voting for Democrats.  That is a fundamental factor in the election cycle.  You can not believe Trump won becasue voters wanted what he offered and then believe they will support him when he fails to do what he said he could


3,000 murdered is accurate. I served on the ground to avenge them. What did you do??? Answer the question as you do eloquently speak of.


This article is a cry for help.


Very interesting !


Since Mr. Matthews had specifically referred to "May 2014 primary" in the post to which I was replying, and the Lane County Elections document heading accessed by a simple click on the link I provided referred to "May 20, 2014 Primary Election", I guess I figured anyone would make the obvious connection. I guess I figured wrongly in your particular case. You probably should not expect any greater deference in the future, as I have to set limits to my explanatory standards somewhere, and you seem to have self-selected to be outside that cut-off, Old Soul.


The Palestinian death toll of Hamas combatants tell a different story.


flounder yes but don't remember perch.   We'd go down some rickety wooden steps below my aunts and look for oysters and crabs on the rocky beach.

We had a little 14' Lone Star.   We got caught on the water in one of those afternoon flash storms.   Only time I've thought I was going to die in a boat.   Dad had my brother find a trough at one point and we just went full tilt and ground on a beach on one of the Islands.  It was like glass again in 20 minutes.  That and the swell of submarines going into Bremerton that created really big swells for our small boat made it interesting.


Those Scandinavian countries tax capital gains at approximately half the rate of regular income, just like we currently do.  They also have much higher sales tax levels than we do, which dissenters here call regressive.

I find it troubling that there is no way to register for this Women in the World event nor to find out the cost of a ticket.

Is it by invitation only? Who gets invited? Are the speakers paid?

As the corporate sponsor of this event, the G&M should have this information.

They have already published three stories on this event in as many days, yet it seems that it would be impossible for any of its readers to attend.

Very odd, indeed.


Here's an interesting case discussed elsewhere today on this venerable organ: I have no idea how to assess the virtues of the Aga Khan, so am I hearing real or fake news in this article?

Welcome to the age of scepticism.


I would not call it ignorance. I would call it innocence. I have a niece who is eight years old and already the boys in her class have, on their cell phones, the kind of videos that in my childhood one could only get by going to the shadiest neighborhood in town, into a little hole-in-the-wall shop, back to the counter and whispering in the attendant's ear; and he would scowl, and say, "Oh, all right, you rotten perv-rt," and show you the way to the shelf in the cellar where that sort of thing was kept.

I'm pretty sure I was a happier schoolchild than she is, and I suspect the boys in my time were happier than her better-informed boy classmates are too.


Not only was it released, but it was gleefully passed around Washington by the democrats before the release, despite them knowing most of the info supposedly came from Russian govt departments, which they are now pretending is treason.


I think that most Canadians who come into regular contact with immigrants have a positive view of immigrants.  And with regard to comparisons to France, Japan, etc., Canada is Canada -- the comparisons are of limited value.
I wish I could remember the source, but a few years back I read something by a group of economists to the effect that by 2100, Canada's population will need to be about double what it is.  If that's the case, either accept that we need more immigrants, or toss out the birth control and get at it.


It just seems that the White Nationalists / Alt-right / Christian Nationalists / American Theocrats, call them what you will and lump them together as you wish, are essentially medieval in their outlook (and my saying that does a disservice to the culturally rich, cosmopolitan Middle Ages).

They'd like to roll the West back culturally to some imagined pure form circa perhaps 1200 AD (plus or minus the Protestant Reformation some centuries later, which the Evangelicals among them presumably would like to continue to enjoy, despite its unleashing of  individualism and, eventually, liberalism).

In this outlook, these Western Chauvinists (more accurately, Chauvinsts-simpliciter) - modern Tertullians they are - seem to resemble the fanatical idol-and-art-and-freedom destroying Wahhabist-types they profess to detest and from whom they claim that Western 'civilization' (whatever stunted idea of society that may mean to them) needs to be saved.

Your comments and statistics are tainted by your animus.

YOU have less than no right to assume I have "zero sympathy" for rape victims simply because I advocate for the unborn.  That is a ridiculous and unfair statement....as is your indictment of my comment that many born of rape have gone on to amazing things.  SPIN?  What spin?  have they not?  Tell it to Jesse Jackson...one such person who DID accomplish much.

And your question concerning the moms?  Many give their child up for adoption - a far greater gift than what you advocate.
