I agree completely, pandora.  If the Church would return to the ancient latin mass and restore the vestments and rituals that are central to true christianity, people would flock to the churches, the seminaries would overflow with new recruits, and these buildings would be needed.  I cannot cont the number of times I have heard people say they wish they could find a church firmly planted in the middle ages.


"Robert McElroy, the bishop of San Diego, said we need to be disrupters of unjust policies. He raised his powerful voice to say that we should be disrupters of "those who would seek to send troops into our streets to deport the undocumented, to rip mothers and fathers from their families.""

Yes, and it was a very irresponsible thing for Bishop McElroy to say.

First of all,  the bishop claimed Trump described himself as a "disrupter," which was completely untrue.   I would be first to condemn any political candidate who said it was his mission to "disrupt" the civil order.

Worse, by calling on people to "disrupt" (which must mean disrupt the actions and property of other citizens), the bishop is apparently directing people to acts of civil disobedience, and perhaps riot and violence.


As for me personally, I would be quite happy if he followed your example and went "Carfree" as we would all be somewhat safer (as would our autos/boats/planes, etc).


What makes it obvious?
All you have to do is wave your hands and it's obvious?


Good.  I'm thinking of a ballot initiative to remove all traffic calming devices in the city of Eugene including speed humps, curbouts and psychological striping.


Just remember DHHL (Dept.of Hawaiian  Homes Land) is a STATE OF HAWAII entity. The State CAN solve some of the homeless problems by utilizing Hawaiian Home lands. A great amount of "working homeless" Hawaiian just need an affordable home. A condo,apartment,home etc. etc. But we back to square 1, DHHL is part of the STATE!!


No, it's because of her voting 70% of the time with Obama.


I guess Trump could always draw a line in the sand that is not to be crossed by NK since that worked so well for Obama.


Damn thugs.


So now that Bombardier is no longer a Canadian controlled company, can we stop giving them money?

this is no 'loan' debt, this is common theft, Everyone knows this and there is no debate about it. The why of it all... now there's a discussion very much not within the PC realm.


And so it continues as the budget slashers wreak destruction on the entire economy to feather their own "nests".


From the assessments I've read, Powell is a generally not-bad choice.  He's less enamoured of financial regulation than his predecessor, but that's not the Fed's main role anyway, and the rest of the federal government regulatory apparatus is already in the grip of Wall Street firms.


Aside:   The same standards could be applied to monitor and investigating our Canadian Lawyers and entrepreneurs that have siphoned off a huge percentage of the First nations funding.    It is just simply wrong that the by far the biggest beneficiary of the residential school compensation is a politically connected  Caucasian lawyer.

Our supreme court and Charter of rights overs does not adequately protect charity and government funding programs from carpetbagging.


It happens with every President.

Any of the generals that still adhere to the post-WWII "nation building" and "world's policeman" paradigm will be considering retiring.

Regarding the Fairbanks part of the story...since when do Fairbanks residents give a rat's patoody about the quality of their air? Geez, they've been dealing with the same crappy air situation for 35-plus years without once coming close to getting the population to agree to even a partial solution...so I don't think a little plant "smell" should be a much of a problem.

And the woman who says the smell of a plant gave her family "sore throats and painful headaches"...I gotta call bull-bleep on that one.

I did not make this up.  It's based on exit polling and who did not show up.  The white vote was not down, even among Democrats.  The black vote was.  Not lying through statistics, God's honest truth.  Wasn't the Russians or Rush.  Not about abortion, although if she had called the pro-life movement a scam and not debated PBA, which is already illegal, that might have changed the minds of a few white women.


You cannot be a leader of a department with a mandate to protect the rights of women and girls and be opposed to them. Makes no sense. This position is not the same as one in a private company, that comparison is weak at best.

JC:  Why didn't the locals do something about moving/protecting the cemetery?  The remains exist today because the anthropologists took enough interest to safeguard them when apparently no one else cared or was interested in preserving them.  That "thank you".


So when our politicians (to keep it local) say words like "the homeless problem" and then pass legislation that "was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular" segment of society, that's different? .." in violation of the First Amendment’s establishment clause."  Doesn't our nation's Constitution only have jurisdictional affect only w/ its citizens? I guess something changed along the way because thats what I was taught at Kamehameha.

“I would expect his philosophy as a judge to be very similar to his philosophy as a lawyer — which was to make decisions based on the law as he saw it and not to let his views and decisions be colored by external influences or biases,”  Unfortunately, he did let his views be colored.  It is evident in this next quote:  "...in spite of its stated, religiously neutral purpose.”
He wasn't elected to craft legislation.  He wasn't elected to enforce the laws resulting from legislation.  He wasn't even elected.  His job as a judge is to interpret the law.


You are out of touch - seriously out of touch.


Unions represent the employees as a group vis a vis the employer....that's what unions are all about. It's called "collective bargaining."  Union contracts are "closed shop", meaning you are either a member or you pay "fair share" to the Union to pay for the negotiations which obtain the conditions under which you work.  The conditions agreed upon during "collective bargaining" are hardly arbitrary.  The Union is run by the workers and the negotiating team is selected by the workers through the union.  Unions have legal status as the "contracting" agent for the workers.

 Explain to me why someone should be able to get a job at a "union" business, obtain the salary and benefits the Union status has achieved through negotiations and NOT contribute their "fair share" to that process. That's "freeloading."

 BTW: Unions have long been in the forefront in the battle to attain equal pay for women.  Unions have achieved and protected that "equal pay for equal work" for men and women.


I have the feeling that it is for both of them


Right!  You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig!


A "solid book" of sub-prime mortgages is an oxymoron.


Ignorant and self-righteous! Remember it is God who will judge you, not the courts or your own opinion. A little humility on your part would improve your credibility.


Sorry Marky, my MSc in Engineering from the 70's disqualifies me from taking econ GPA boosters that you cut your teeth on.

It is interesting that climate disasters seem to have a homing signal attached to them, with the areas that are "to blame" apparently getting selectively targeted.

You ARE a powerful little guy Marky.

Too too funny


Once again, I fail to see how. It is none of their business whether you decide to work or not as long as you are legally declaring any income that you make.

After all, they are trying to encourage baby boomers to remain in the work force. This would be  a detriment. However I have to admit that Trudeau is sending out very mixed messages on immigrants so they could be confused as to where they are going on senior's benefits as well.


$1 homes in Nanakuli at city property tax default auctions like in (D)etroit coming soon! Any the silly (D)onkeys worried we can't find affordable housing for the homeless! LOL


They don't intend to change, so the nation still hasn't decided where we go next. We've stayed in a holding pattern for decades, and I guess it will continue. Unfortunately, much of it is hostile to women, children, and other living things.


Public housing is typically a sink hole for taxpayer money - costly to build and poorly maintained.  As well, large public housing projects are often crime ridden because the landlord (i.e. government) is unwilling or unable to evict the criminals.   We should instead try rent subsidies so that the homeless can afford to rent from  private sector landlords who  maintain their properties to a much higher standard than governments do.  An added bonus to the rent subsidy approach is that recipients have a much wider choice of where they live and don't have to be confined to public housing ghettos.

Richard Rohr in his recent book "Divine Dance" sees God as Relationship rather than Aristotle's Substance. His book is a new look at the Trinity as Relationship. It shows God as relationship. Jesus walks with us. The Holy Spirit is part of us. It is truly a Love Story.


Saltie: Despite the War many others things  have changed as well.Today the talent concentration, the shift in game conditioning, equipment evolution, travel,  better coaching and management systems  can be argued make today's game easier for the players to transition in and  achieve higher levels of performance.  Players back then had to battle more regularly and under greater obstacles simply to keep their jobs each year and produce results.  For example, if you had a 20 goal season your were considered a Star in the league, they also only had a 50 game schedule and shorter playoffs.


I don't have a fundamental problem with the purchase of the LIO in Anchorage, with one caveat.

I'm no doomsdayer, but I think it's a fair statement that Alaska's economy is contracting, and we are probably heading towards a recession.  In terms of commercial real estate, what's worth 32.5 million today, may only be worth 20 or 25 million in a few years when we're knee deep in our economic woes.

Maybe it would be a better deal to continue leasing the building year to year and finally purchase it when the commercial real estate market hits rock bottom.  Buying it right now equates to little more than a golden parachute for the developer.


You don't really advance your case well by relying on immature name-calling in every comment regarding our PM, whether you like him as leader or not.  Any post that includes a bunch of name-calling is instantly less credible to any educated or thoughtful reader.

Regardless of who is PM, they need to rely on others' expertise to run a competent and trustworthy government.  The problem with Harper was that he trusted no one else in his cabinet and thought himself smarter and better than everyone else in the room, like an understated Trump.  Still a dreadful egotist, just a quieter one.

We don't know yet whether Raitt will work well with others.  She does seem very power-hungry.  Her decision to run is obviously up to her, but it does seem surprising that, when her spouse likely has only a few pretty good years left, and her kids may need her in a tough time, she is choosing to run for a leadership position, that will leave very little time for caregiving and privacy.

Why do people rightfully fear that their bikes will be stolen in Eugene? It is because of the behavior of many of our imported homeless people.  Adding more amenities (there are already numerous free meals daily, free laundry service, free clothes and privatization of our prime parkland) will just bring us more imported homeless people to be trapped here. While I agree that Eugene is not ripe for a bike share, and that Reed Dunbar couldn't manage an escape from a paper bag with an instruction manual, we certainly don't need to attract an even larger homeless problem here.

Now, if you want to talk about drug treatment, job training, entry level jobs and enhanced jail facilities for those who just want to get drunk and drugged in our parks and on our bike paths, I'm all for it. Unfortunately, our friends of homelessness all seem to want to just add more shanties to the Whiteaker area, an area where 20% of the people are homeless because of the already insane level of amenities.

Didn't Gerry tell us all polar bears would be dead by now?

Saving money was not Trump's motivation for the abortion exec order.  It was a principal of not using tax dollars towards services that may include abortions or abortion counselling.

quite a few years ago, now, i found an abandoned "healy clean coal" 3  season jacket left at one of our local reuse platforms (which we here in Fairbanks find quite handy and somewhat addictive. That treasured "find"  was when the coal plant was shuttered and long before GVEA was silly enough to buy it. Guessing some blue worker employee who helped to build the plant tossed it. Now, I wear the coat proudly although my friends and those who recognize me must wonder about the logo. I might just donate it to some environmental organizations' fundraiser auction someday. Oddly enough, the coat color is green.


I want to echo ATF's thanks, Neko.  It's always good to have statistics.
As many have stated repeatedly, the best way to reduce the number of abortions is to make birth control more available.  The insistence of the Catholic Church that contraception is wrong is driving up the number of abortions.  So, we can say that the hierarchy is directly complicit in abortions -- it is causing an increase by its obstinate stand on contraception.


Erm, no, it shows that your ANC mates are as corrupt as all the other ones in the rest of Africa. That's the depressing thing in this country, that was supposed to be the beacon for the rest of this benighted continent, but is turning out just as bad if not worse than the rest of them BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOW BETTER. But they obviously don't.

Sorry to rain on this parade but Walter's "owner state" was a confusion of basic principles. Is it libertarian or socialist? Nonetheless, maintaining the Dividend while instituting a broad based tax is a violation of our State Constitution. Walter would understand that.

Oil prices at $50 are not low, because it costs less than $5 to produce a barrel in Iraq. Alaska needs a progressive surcharge on the oil companies reduced, excessive profits to end the budget crisis.

Taking all that together, if we want to apply Christian principles to immigration, then we ought consider that Jesus didn't seem to be a fan of ecumenical/humanistic multiculturalism.

Instead, Jesus did welcome the stranger and outsider, but only if they were in harmony with his principles.

Therefore, WWJD if he were in charge of U.S. immigration policy?  Christian immigrants before Muslim.

This story reminds me of Fairbanks  back in the days when life was less complicated and summer was spent outdoors. Before the Internet and smart phones ruled our lives, we had the Chena River, and every restaurant along it had a deck. We'd get in our riverboats and cruise stopping at every one. Softball, Goldpanner games, camping and bar-b-que parties. Life was Great!

Based on your comments it seems like you just don't get the issue here...


All analogies limp, and some more badly than others.
People imprisoned, isolated, etc. took consolation in a spiritual communion that they found nourishing.  Who's to measure the difference?
How can it be quantified? John 4:24 speaks of worshipping in spirit & truth rather than a place (Jerusalem or Mt. Gerazim).  One of the most egregious and damnable acts of the RCC was to slap a mortal sin fine on missing mass! This is still on the books. And the numbers of supposed theologians who did not denounce this are are more than legion. The rationalization behind this is beyond comprehension!
Laying guilt on innocent people.  From my experience, after confessing supposed sexual sins, missing mass was  up there.  Even when people had a good reason they felt guilty, and better in confessing it, just in case ...  hellfire, etc!

As expensive as it is to spend the night in a bed in the hospital you would think they could afford to buy american made hospital blankets...They may cost more but hey here's a novel concept ...pay more, and don't pass the cost on to the consumers. Just suck it up and make a little less profit.

There are reasons most chain restaurants have an allergen guide in the back so the manager can double check a person with an allergies order.  No so much with the non-chain places where your relying on the staff to know the products they have.

What is a "litmus test"?

A "litmus test" is an issue that someone else cares about, that you don't care about.

So, when you call being pro-life a "litmus test" you are merely saying that chopping up babies is something that just doesn't bother you.

Judah, perhaps you read something in her article that I did not, as nowhere did I see any endorsement of Trump in it.  Merely pointing out the crocodile tears and hypersensitive egos of the professional victims (and modern society has a plethora of them) who hypocritically decry and denounce some of Trump's comments --- while similar or worse statements (not to mention gross and unqualified corruption) from their presumed political candidate (or others) are unmet by similar umbrage --- does not automatically presume any level of support for Mr. Trump.  I would make many similar claims myself, and yet I do not support Mr. Trump nor will be voting for him --- I merely hate self-serving hypocrisy and cynical political haymaking.


I find it "interesting" to see Richmond Bishop Francis DiLorenzo call out racism.  He has done nothing to work for racial harmony in his diocese, nor to call out a racist priest in the diocese. The Bishop partially attended a Spanish Mass for the Hispanic community in the Cathedral a few years ago.  He made no attempts to speak in Spanish dring the Mass and has done nothing to help the Latino community grow, much less the black Catholic commuity. He had a priest  of one his largest parishes in Henrico County state from the pulpit that blacks needed to go back to where they came from as a response the the arttacks in Dallas where the congregation applauded him  during his homily. I am sure the blessed Mother for whom the parish is named was beside herself. That same parish has a large Hispanic presence where pastor will not allow a Spanish Mass. So I am sure there are many other Richmonders who are finding the Bishops comments "interesting".

It is understandable that an increasing number of Jews living abroad feel safer in Israel than( let's say ...) - France. Jews are flocking to Israel. It is also understandable that, for at least a half century or more, the West - mainly North America ...- has given Israel absurd amounts of (tax) free money to keep expanding those ( oops!) - illegal settlements. Let's face the facts please: most of those settlements are illegal. Period. It is a gobbling madness in ( nuclear) motion that has created a terrible, suicidal resentment ( not only) in the Middle East. Israel has the right to exist. Ditto. Yet does Israel has the " divine" right to impose/pave/ expand "whatever"  on what used to be Palestinian's lovingly cared orchards? To humiliate a land that belonged to the Palestinians since day one? ( another oops!). And what about Israel having "divine" access to the best of drinkable water and leaving the Palestinian with a left over of a primal resource - water that is scarce, polluted?


The governor really let us down by not bringing any cuts to the table, just asking for more taxes and PFD cuts, which only hurt the private sector to pump up a bloated state government. FAIL for the gov.

Trump blabbering about coal is ridiculous. It's a dying fuel stock and renewable sources are the future. Trump seems to think his moronic base is impressed by his defense of this 1830's fuel source. He is very myopic and this will come back to hurt him.


How does one become a GOP candidate?  Do you just sign up as a Republican?  Does it work the same way with the Democrats?  Shouldn't there be some sort of vetting process before a candidate is allowed to declare their party affiliation formally?


Lay people cannot be priests unless they are *sacramentally ordained* to be priests.  Terminology and classifications such as "lay state versus clerical state" are negotiable, but sacramental ordination is not negotiable.  See the definition on the sacramental priesthood by the Council of Trent:

http://www.thecounciloftrent.com/ch23.htm

Can you find a masculinity requirement for apostolic succession?   What matters is the sacramental structure of the Church.  Temptation is everywhere, but structures do matter.  Women can be tempted with clericalism as much as men, but having both men and women in the clergy would be a significant deterrent to clericalism, because clericalism is exacerbated by patriarchalism.   Humanly speaking, ghettos become less so when you open them up.  The clerical ghetto is no exception.  We cannot mess around with the sacramental structure of the Church, but we can and should remove artificial gender barriers.  It is time to ordain women as priests!

Stocks have been climbing steadily, at the same rate, for 1 year (you would see this had you bothered to look at the graph in the article), and since before pussyman decided to run.  You should give credit to the guy in charge for almost all of it: Obama.


Another headline lie by the biased, left wing news media. The rules DO NOT affect immigrants as the title suggests. They only affect ILLEGAL immigrants. Once again the Globe shows its blatant dislike for the Trump White House (and then they wonder why he calls the media biased and fake).


Keep telling yourself that....

I'm all for criminalizing the problem and putting them all in low security "country club" privatized facilities out in E WA, Nebraska, or New Mexico. My surmise is a huge number of the "homeless" choose the lifestyle and, given a choice between making a change in their own circumstance vs. going under authoritarian lockdown VOILA we would have better citizens. I grant you there is a statistically significant percentage of that "homeless" population that needs the benefit of gov't provided social service.My opinion (worth exactly what you paid for it) is those truly in need are 10-15% of the existing "homeless" populace.

"...innocent people in Syria... 90% of the victims of ANY modern war are non-combatants."

Utterly AMAZING! When President Obama went into Afghanistan, ALL the leftists could SCREAM was how THAT war was a so-called "just war"!

But NOW that there is a Republican in the White House you folks decide to pull out such blanket statements such as "90% of the victims of ANY modern war are non-combatants"!

Yet, utter SILENCE using that specious line of argument for EIGHT YEARS while Obama was President!

Please be specific..when, ANYWHERE above, have I ever advocated "for war"?

"..your cowardly choice to remain anonymous while advocating for war".

Moreover, calling me "cowardly" (while you have no idea WHO or WHAT I am)...really shows how truly loving and tolerant the leftists are of any view that differs from their own!


immediate termination of both faculty is warranted here. Oregon schools are supposed to have a ZERO tolerance for bullying yet it happens EVERY day in many schools. it is unfortunate that our children are being led by this type of faculty. Sad , truely sad.

Confidence is knowing when to say NO (my BC mentors drilled NO into my head over 3 decades ago), overcoming arrogant group think and turning around.  Sad to revisit Sheep Creek (I stayed out of the BC during that storm cycle for a reason) and Stevens Pass as in both events they made extremely and avoidable dumb mistakes that solid BC experts would never make.  Sorry to kick the dead but both parties blew it and paid for it with too many lives. CAIC was kind in their write up of Sheep Creek and their assessment, which spoke to the group's mistakes that occurred immediately as they entered an obvious terrain trap that basic BC knowledge would have identified.  For those of us seasoned BC folks the depth hoar from early in that season made for year a good year to stay low angle or in-bounds...yes, my post may offend but it's how my mentors and I have stayed alive for decades my friend especially in the low moisture content Colorado snowpack.


RJ and other dealers have a very vested interest in getting people to be bullish and buy what they are selling.

No one knows where the price goes - it is definitely manipulated, but so is everything else.   While there can be intermittent spikes, the trend is lower.  And for good reasons.

- new technologies have brought down costs, so drillers will sell forward any price spike and start drilling
- marginal reduced demand (see Volvo shifting away from gas completely)
- shift to LNG (the real reason the Saudis are attacking Qatar)
- production cuts have been orchestrated, but holding so many countries in line for an extended period of time is impossible.  If prices are this low with orchestrated cuts, imagine what happens when they break ranks or cheat

In short - anything can happen, but the longer-term range is lower (likely in the 40 -  60 range).

Whether or not the act of "swearing in" runs counter to tradition, those giving testimony should understand that their testimony has the potential not just to relieve burdens of injustice for the victim, but also to destroy reputations and even the lives of those alleged to have imposed an injury. As a society we have an obligation, a legal and constitutional obligation, to protect everyone against unjustified accusations and the swearing in process is key to that process. Our world is changing in many ways and holding ourselves in thrall to tradition will not facilitate effective solutions that are fair to all.

Oh no Ward, you are totally misunderstanding.  I like George and his wife Melissa very, very much.  I have the highest regard for George.  I did read how he and Betty (another of my fav's) voted against.  Their voting records are to be admired.

That said, I meant as a friend looking out for George.  Maybe that sounds stupid but I couldn't imagine being w/and hearing those 'others' in their wild dreams and not for one moment do I think the whole bunch of them are altruistic to the ideals that benefit ALL Eugenians.  Our will?  Hah! they say to us thru their actions over and over.

Thank god there are feminists out there making this point. Male or female, getting drunk is risky behavior. You're much more susceptible to accident, negative health consequences and foul play. Expecting society to make everything OK after the problem arises is irresponsible and immature.

If you're going to get drunk, only do so in a safe place with trusted companions. This applies to men and women alike. Feminists that aren't emphasizing that obvious step are doing their gender a disservice.


"Reconciliation must succeed for the well being of our communities and for the future of our children" or at least until Trudeau gets his Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

Bunk!


"Finally, we must resist a bad habit infecting political commentary that sees Trump's irresponsibility, bigotry and casual cruelty as a heroic form of "disruption" aimed at bringing down "the establishment."...Americans who tell pollsters they oppose Trump — including outsiders from Bernie Sanders on the left to third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin on the right — are not defending some status quo. They are standing up for humane principles that Trump is threatening: democracy over authoritarian nationalism; religious pluralism over bigotry; clarity of thought, speech and action over a self-involved indiscipline; civil rights and civil liberties over their unchecked abuse; and a basic decency toward each other over a political approach devoted to disparaging and bullying adversaries."

Yes.


"Who decides what a symbol means? In a hierarchical organization like the Catholic Church, the clergy attempts to control meaning, although not always successfully. Trump seems to think that he is the pope of the NFL — only he determines what symbols mean."

This could only be written by a person who profoundly dislikes Trump.  But why does that dislike have any place in this discussion?  To curry favor among your followers, whom you know to detest Trump?  That's an illicit argument.  I detest Trump too, but that's beside the point.  Trump, as President, is within his rights to express what should be national outrage that the flag is being shown such disrespect, for that's what keeling undoubtedly is in this context.

Detox is a medical intervention for a medical problem: that is right. Alcohol misuse is a horrible problem in Alaska: if I weren't an old hand at life, I would have been surprised by alcohol being served at a recent domestic violence fundraising dinner on Prince of Wales Island. We as a people aren't taking the enormity of the problem seriously.

4 years ago I asked my representative who was in attendance at this dinner, to sponsor a joint resolution which simply asked people to recognize the dangers of alcohol, so that they would be better recognize the problem early on. He refused to even consider doing as I asked. Since that day the state of Alaska has spent $2 billion more than they have taken in alcohol tax, just cleaning up the mess from this substance. Also since this date, there have been about 800 alcohol related homicides in Alaska.

Detox is but one part of the answer. Many are concerned and rightly so. In my view, one of the most effective things we can do is talk. Sharing?


The fake outrage and fear mongering is getting old.  Very old.


Parliament cannot do anything..... it wants.
That would be dictatorship.
Which is what we were seeing under Harper.
The voters saw that and he is now former Prime Minister.


Who can blame Trump for not endorsing these guys given their waffling on support for him after commiting to support the nominee.. Oops!  except if it's you! Trump is also holding them accountable as two major players in a do nothing Congress that rolled over for Obama time and again. This tactic is spot on for Trump and consistent with his outsider approach. Given a chance he will wade in and clean up this mess!


A rather blasphemous question that could have been stated differently.


Cathy Munoz is “sorry” for pleading for leniency for her child-pornographer friends, and wants her letters to that effect withdrawn from the public record? I’m sure she does. She wants the public for forget her disgusting influence-peddling on behalf of criminals who sexually exploit children just as quickly as possible–nearly as quickly as she herself intends to forget it (if she hasn’t already).

A “born-again” sociopath can, in her own eyes, do no wrong. After all, Jesus (upon him be Peace) “paid the price” for her sins. I doubt the Messiah would see it that way. I sure don’t.

“It’s too late to say you’re sorry, how would we know, why should we care? Please don’t run for reelection–don’t you DARE!”

(…to the tune of “She’s Not There” by Rod Argent and the Zombies)


Let's ask this countrys conservatives like Kenney, Wall and Pallister why they are Deniers. They are in denial, and playing politics with our lives and our futures. Denial and its companion, the stealth Denier, who pretends to care but does nothing real, are dragging us down like lead weights. They should be made to explain after the next city burns down or gets flooded out.


Ok, first of all, secession is not "treason." That's ridiculous. Secondly, you should be supporting the right of self-determination as outlined in the Declaration of Independence whether it is treason or not. Secession from Great Britain actually was treason. I guess y'all would've been Loyalists back in the day huh?


Starting to look like the culprit turned a burglary in a felony by shooting at officers.  Now rather than a short term, possibly parole only, the person could end up in prison for a while.


If Trump doesn't know the basics of running the government he shouldn''t be in his position.  As long as everyone continues to enable his behaviors he will continue to be a lying bully.  Is that what we really want from our sociopathic president?

There is no peer reviewed research to support the assertion that starting French Immersion at age 5 is more effective than at starting at age 11.

And don't mention the drop out rate at age 11/12.

Lol, sorry "Tim," Phil Hutchinson is an engineer; I'm a lawyer.  Your understanding of law is less-sophisticated than an LA Law view.  As for "trolling," Mr. Hutchinson took public records and posted them.   None of them were private.  All of them reflected the truth.  That's why what Mr. Hutchinson did is exactly what investigative reporters do.  And since you actually appear to have no firsthand knowledge of these circumstances, and don't live here, perhaps it would be more productive for your to direct your attention to matters about which you have knowledge.


What bargaining chip did the opposition MPs "give" the US administration relevant to free trade?

Trump administration insiders are already well briefed on Trudeau and his strengths (great hair), weaknesses (shallow as a bird bath for anorexic sparrows), peculiar thoughts on military issues and terrorism (if we kill the enemy, the enemy wins), anti-Americanism, love of the Chinese communist dictatorship, etc.

But they are and will stay focused on reaching the best possible rewrite of NAFTA in American economic and employment interests regardless of other irritants from The Clown Prince .

The parliamentary opposition's job is to hold the government to account not to serve as ambassadors (Trudeau has people for that) and cheerleaders and pom pom girls (we have enough of them here) for Trudeau and the Liberal government.

Opposition and public outrage at the Khadr payoff will no more affect the NAFTA negotiations than the Liberals apocalyptic outrage against the original NAFTA did.


The comparison is apt, but not in the way Roy would prefer. He loves cats more than humans. So did Hitler and Goering.  He doesn't eat meat.  Neither did Hitler nor Goering. They have those things in common.

Fortunately Roy doesn't have the means to act out his "preferences" on as large a scale.

Be advised that every time the fragile, mewling snowflakes censor this quite CIVIL comment because they DISAGREE with it, I'll put it right back.


Please tell me Crookwell has also allocated yearly maintenance funds for this new playground. Why do I think not based on Crookwell's past experience in budget failures.

Expect the homeless to move in, take over the park, use it as their toilet, home area. Crookwell will wring his hands, saying what can I do?

What is happening with Civil Beat or is it the program?

Why did my remark not meet civility standards? I never swear or use foul language.

Can the public question public officials like Mayor Kirk Caldwell any more?

My remarks were that it was nefarious for Mayor Caldwell to act like an altar boy, pretending that he did not know anything about the blatantly deceitful advertisements  - "Mayor Caldwell supports Social Security and Medicare". Those nefarious advertisements exploited and engaged in fear-mongering on the elderly and low-information voters.

Obviously, the office of the Mayor DOES NOT have anything to do with the federal government that takes care of Social Security.

I further opined that it has been Caldwell's modus operandi - to hide behind political stage -crafting through contained propaganda and run away from educated audience or questions.

What's so "uncivil" about this?


Or, we could increase protectionism. since open trade has been an utter failure for most people in Canada for the past four decades. Look up inflation adjusted median incomes here and you will see what I mean.

Here is all that was on Vinis' campaign platform:
Progressive Policies to Foster Public Trust

Lucy believes in encouraging creative solutions at all levels. This means supporting the businesses and community organizations that create jobs and are the engine of economic development in Eugene. As Mayor, Lucy will bring community leaders, local business owners, and neighbors together to push forward:
◾Infrastructure improvements, such as fiber optic internet connections, that benefit our existing start-ups and attract new businesses to Eugene
◾Revitalization of our downtown to attract new investments and create jobs
◾New clean energy industries that can compete in the economy of the future

There is nothing more about trust, transparency, or about a "performance auditor".  The mayor's timing is laughable.

The mayor and city can do what they want, but a ballot petition is coming, so is a publically-elected independent auditor.


Many servers treat women like crap if they are with other women or children.

They should rethink it.


What people need to be talking about is ending domestic violence. Sure people use guns to kill, had a relative shoot his wife and killed her. Had another relative stomp his wife to death in front of their two kids. A man I knew pretty well here in town killed is toddler daughter to get even with his estranged wife. He killed her by drowning her in the bath tub after feeding her a bunch of over the counter sleeping pills.  Another friend was murdered by being repeatedly run over by the same car. When someone is really intent on killing or harming someone, they will always find a way, gun or not.


Pope Hypocrite should rethink most of his political positions, if he considers himself to be Christian. Vatican City is surrounded by a wall. They have no illegal immigrants in Vatican City and only handful of highly screened refugees. "Pope Francis, tear down your wall!"

Romans 13 makes it clear that Christians (and popes) are to respect civil governments. Coming into a country ILLEGALLY clearly resists civil authority. Pope Francis proclaiming that DACA is pro-life, reveals his rebellion to God. (Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil).

Should nations have borders and immigration laws? The Law of Moses laid out borders for Israel. Furthermore, the Law also instructed Israel on how to handle aliens/foreigners. They had to eventually become Jews or get expelled. After Nehemiah led the people to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem, he expelled the foreigners from the city and punished the Jews for raising their children to be pagans (Nehemiah 13).


The synods voted on documents--but those documents were not Amoris Laetitia! The bishops never voted on any "paragraphs" in AL!


Nassim Taleb, one of this generation's great risk analysts/intellectuals and the award winning author of "The Black Swan" and "Antifragile" has a new book, "Skin in the Game". Perhaps Cathal Kelly should read it.

The NHL and its mostly Canadian and European has no skin in the game of US politics and race relations. The wisest course is to do/say nothing about and carry on as usual.


No, most immigrants to Canada came here to escape the conditions in their own country instead of fighting to change them.

The difference is that the economy and society here were much more capable of integrating them than today.


To everyone concerned here, every group I mentioned in my initial post receive an exclusive entitlement to government sponsored healthcare. Citizens outside of the groups mentioned above fully fund through their tax dollars healthcare facilities and health care professionals that are otherwise not available outside of the groups listed.
I purchase private insurance but I also have access to exclusive taxpayer funded healthcare, due to my service.
While it is true that I pay a very small administrative fee to use the free healthcare, the healthcare and its professionals are exclusive only to me and the groups listed.


I don't know why United didn't just offer more compensation for passengers to give up their tickets.  $800, a room, and a meal pales in comparison to what Delta is willing to pay.  check out this Forbes article on this family that made $11,000 for giving up a series of tickets.

"the president-elect must assemble a team to take the reins of the massive federal bureaucracy"

Maybe we will get lucky and Trump will just leave some of those reins laying there;  that horrible bureaucracy can be a little less massive.

It has been said that the transition from Bush to Obama was "seamless"; notice that there was no change in policy wither.  Maybe a slower and more difficult transition will result in actual change.


One of those "hold my beer" canadian moments.


No standardized test can accurately measure student progress across state lines or even with a state.   That's why NCLB was canceled.

This is how you responded to my very first comment, not addressed to you: "Get thee to a nunnery. Or a monastery. Depending on your gender."

And then when I point out your rudeness you retort that I am:  "ugly, contentious, rude, snide, and pretentious"

And you are what? :)) A Joke?


Likely a Ryerson intern.


Uh . . . no. but here's an article quoting my statistic from your CFAP.

"Technically, immigrants are eligible for DACA if they came to the US under the age of 16. But in practice, the majority were much younger when they immigrated. In the most recent survey of 3,063 DACA recipients, conducted in August 2017 by Tom Wong of UC San Diego (for the liberal think tank the Center for American Progress and other immigrant advocacy groups), the average age that respondents said they’d arrived in the US was 6-and-a-half years old."


Svendsen, you knew what you were getting into when you bought a house. You get a substantial tax write-off as a homeowner.  Renters pay off mortgages on rental properties owned by others, which often results in the owners making zero  payments on their own homes.  The renters are buying nothing but space. While the owners get a real estate investment. What are you whining about?


"... Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; ..."

Western alliance is centered around the USA. With pivot gone there is not "Western" Alliance to speak of. Never forget before USA took control the "West" killed 120,000,000 of its own in mere 31 years 1914-45 in wars, camps, collectivizations et al.

USA is not coming soon to its senses because it is broke. Ten yeas ago an economic "guru" predicted 100 years of falling prices. In Trump's 4-8 years, goodbye Western Alliance. Humpty Dumpty has fallen from the wall.

And there is no new centre in sight- Brexit Britain? France? Canada? Germany? LOL. How about Ukraine? But the likes of Ibbitsons can not be faulted for dreaming in technicolor. Diehards die hard.


Nowhere in that document does it provide for endless appeals and what seems like endless detention.


Huh? Asians are the highest paid ethnic group in North America. #asianprivilege


I worked with a workaholic in one of my professional organizations. He could be quite charming which is one of the reasons we hired him in the first place, but he thrived on situations of crisis, and if there wasn't one, he would invent one. Within minutes of entering the office he had every staff member fully occupied with his priorities  to the detriment of everything else. He was paranoid and defensive to any criticism or offers of help. Not a single staff member could work with him. He was always "right" and bullied staff members until they were in tears. We had to let him go.

That is how this will end. Trump will be impeached when he has created enough havoc around him that his vice president and congress realize he is a risk to the country. Meanwhile the way to deal with him is by not dealing with him.  We should be talking instead to the powerful people around him, constantly pointing out his mistakes and reinforcing that in the eyes of the world he is not fit to govern.


And Christian Taliban Republicans as well.  Keep government out of my wallet and my room.  Linda Lingle was a success because she did not threaten to invade people's private lives while campaigning and did not do so while in office.  She won two terms.  The current crop of Republican candidates in office and the ones wanting office do not get it.  They have my vote over a Democrat any day as long as they are not part of the Religious Right.


He acted alone just like all other terrorists who slam trucks into people on the street. No?

Best price about for LiON battery storage is $400/kWh.  Average U.S. home consumption is 1.2kW for 24 hr = 30 kWh/day.  So your 1-day storage system would cost you about $12,000.  But if you really want to go off the grid year-round, you will need about about 10 kW of solar generation ($30,000) and 10 days of storage ($120,000) to endure the shorter days and multiple sunless days of winter without a grid safety line.  Your cost of power over the 10-yr life of your batteries (if you are lucky) and 25-yr life of your solar panels will be about $1.00/kWh instead of the $.0.13/kWh from the power company.  Your power waveform will also be spikey and choppy because it is coming from inverters, and you will have less capacity to start large motors without browning out the rest of your appliances and loads.  Hope you don't have an electric car or electric tankless water heater or you will need a multiple of the above hardware.

Being a "patient" is not the same as being a "consumer" in many instances.  You do not have the luxury of telling the ambulance driver that you want to go to C.U. Med Center if you are unconscious.  If you are in an emergency room complaining of chest pains you cannot say "I'd rather have the Walmart Menu of medical procedures over the King Soopers or the Whole Food menu.  Don't worry about doing an EKG, or running blood tests looking at troponin levels."  In reality, the largest amount of expense in the "multi-billion dollar" industry comes from the hospitals, testing for specific causes, and responding accordingly.  (Just for the sake of discussion, this forum no longer allows for lengthy discussion of issues.  The word counter cuts you off much too early).  Knowing that you will need a tooth extraction will enable you to go to the CPT table, find the code, and find out the reasonable cost.  Then ask your dentist.  If he is too expensive, go somewhere else.  What about the pain?


Is it possible to obtain the numbers of immigrant Chinese vs. non-Chinese in Vancouver.  It is not racist to want balance.

Could you imagine the outcry, but for some reason in Canada it is okay whereas wherever these emigrants come from it would not be....

"Only the light of Christ can quench the torches of hatred and violence. Let us pray for peace," said Bishop DiLorenzo in his statement. "I pray that those men and women on both sides can talk and seek solutions to their differences respectfully."

I feel so sorry for her. She might have disease. After torpedoing her political career and dashing all hopes of a come back, she tours the country lying to kids for money. In her speech at Wellesley she lied to students when she "recalled" Nixon being impeached.

In fact, only two US Presidents have been impeached. One of them was her own husband. Woops! Probably another one of those famous Clinton mistakes.

Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives—Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998—both later acquitted at trials held by the Senate.


Well when you have people in authority murdering people. Then people in higher Authority not holding them accountable. You are going to have civil unrest. If you are a police officer, your duty is to protect the public, and uphold law. Not kill some one who's selling CD's, or wearing a hoody, or that runs, or that has a blinker out , or who won't let you illegally search their car. You are onley supposed to use appropriate force with reasonable cause, and there definitely needs to be a higher division of law to investigate these situations not self investigations by the department, or state that committed the crime it is a blatant conflict of interest. There needs to be a federal department that does not answer to the police, or an independent public funded organization to investigate, and prosecute.

"The question about the death penalty is why YOU think YOU can kill someone....with impunity!"

Why? Because the law says we can because they are deemed guilty per a court of law. What moral standard are you using that says it Is wrong, other than your opinion. You have no more authority to say the death penalty is wrong than you think we have to say it is right.


dumpy is a liar, he knows they are guilty so he wants to pardon all who might be indicted.  but accepting a pardon is a admission of guilt.  a pardon does not erase the criminal act.


Trump be so dumb!  You smart.


Always ask for more.  Then getting less sounds like a bargain for the customers.


Your argument rests on post offices actually being open for the hours they say they will be.   Again in many small towns across KZN, and I have heard in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape, they are not.  There might be staff in them, and the huge number of staff on the books get paid, but they do not open the doors to the public.


How many countries have we bombed the hell out of in the last 20 years?  How many has N. Korea?  You may want to read a bit of world events before painting us as saints.  Villains we aren't, but neither are we saints.


I agree with Canstor.  This bunch have inflicted colossal damage, to this land and its people.  While their only defense is that of White Monopoly junk, and etc.  How long, do you think, is it going to take to repair all of this crap,  so we can move forward and save our land.


Neither the shooter in Texas nor the shooter in Las Vegas nor the vast majority of other mass killers who have unleashed GUN fire on innocent people in this country in recent years have ever been diagnosed with mental health problems. They were simply white men with anger issues, money issues, issues with women, issues with gay people, race issues, and other non-mental issues who used GUNS, specifically military-style assault weapons, to kill lots of people in extremely short order. To suggest that these mass GUN killings are a matter of mental illness and not GUNS is simply ludicrous. Beyond that it is both evasive and disingenuous to the point of gross negligence. People are dying unnecessarily so that GUN dealers can get richer, and NRA p*ssy-whipped Republicans are to blame, so LOCK THEM UP! No other country on earth has such GUN violence but all countries contain people with mental health issues. That fact is as plain as day and it's well past time that people wake up to it.


Like Lisa Murkowski...


Once I got beyond this sad incorrect comment,  another excellent  article:
" He was black. "
I'm forgiving you for this stupid description of Obama, because you obviously picked it up in the racist USA in your early years.
Of course he was neither Black or White !

Obama was  a perfect fit for the USA; unfortunately 50% of the population aren't objective enough to admit what a great president they had.


They do have some famous scientists and even musicians nowadays.


ever been to a village? easily the most racist places on the planet. try flying into venetie sometime. oh wait, they might think you are ok because your skin matches. but, hey that's ok right?


Trump wanted to show Putin how things are done, the American Way; and the only thing Trump will show Putin is how American's will throw crooks and liars into the slammer. Putin must be laughing at his subordinate greenhorn right now.


I think we should change the name Kindgergarten as it is German and may remind too many people of the horrors of WW2.  Good Grief Charlie Brown.


No, I mean the real one in our GDP stats.  Not the conspiracy theory ones that you folks try to dream-up.


This is not surprising, given that academics are an afterthought to those funding our public schools. Countless times on the State Senate Floor this year, the Education Chair honored winning sports teams, but never once this year do I recall similar laurels going to a math team, science bowl team, lauded poet or standardized test champ. Last year the Senate did recognize Hawaii's *one* perfect ACT scorer (outside private schools) -- but even that ceremony took the impetus of a certain minority staffer.  If community leaders would more consistently hold up academic success as something honorable, perhaps Hawaii's students would be more motivated to excel on the desk like they do on the field.


Not exactly Dieter.

They may pay more overall but they often pay proportionally less than others through aggressive tax strategies.


Finally.


The opponents of the independent city auditor ballot initiative haven't presented any viable arguments yet on why they oppose objective and unbiased accountability and transparency.  The mayor has said she is"concerned" and "afraid", but still hasn't made much sense.

Lucy Vinis stated in her 6-22 Eugene Weekly Guest Viewpoint, Doing More, that "we already have a strong audit department in our finance division."  I don't think that is correct, she must be referring to the accounting department, which doesn't conduct any audits.

Unless the opponents say exactly why they're against an independent auditor, they're really not interested in any accountability.


I just find this one really out there:

"Some have even been used at informal Ash Wednesday services by those who knew and respected him."


I don't think it matters much to Trump if they are all still illegal.
I think many world leaders will have to turn to the media to start negotiating with Trump.
Trump is too belligerent and reactionary to negotiate face to face.


You are so wrong.
In the 1940s, during WWII, the US Supreme Court heard an appeal from the family of a Jehovah's Witness public school student who was punished for not standing for the Pledge. The Jehovah's Witnesses have theological reasons for not standing during the Pledge or the National Anthem.
The US Supreme Court said the public school had the right to punish the student.
Jehovah's witnesses were then harassed, expelled from school, fired from their job, and otherwise persecuted.
Just two years, later, in near-record time, the US Supreme Court reversed itself, said it made a mistake, and said no child could be forced to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
I bet the same applies to the National Anthem.
We are NOT a "You WILL stand for the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem and you WILL like it!" country.


Suppression Battalion Chiefs like the one that commanded the Marco Polo fire, work a 56 hour work week and do not have the perks of a free car or free gas.  They show up to work in their private vehicle, and then use the battalion vehicle to respond to incidents.  When they get off of work, the battalion vehicle is used by the next on coming battalion chief.  Please speak the truth.


The article says "New Canadian research shows one young person is shot almost every day in Ontario, with the vast majority of injuries being unintentional".

I have a feeling guns are injuring more innocent Canadians than are injuring or killing criminals.

I have a feeling Canadians are shooting and injuring more innocent Canadains than shooting, injuring and killing criminals while Canadians try to protect themselves.

If Canadians are getting guns to protect themselves, they aren't doing a very good job of it.


My children are 1.5 years apart (closer I suspect than these siblings in age). Both are boys. My oldest has far more responsibility because of his size, ability to communicate and ability to reason to control the situation than his 2 year old brother. He always has the ability to walk away and tell me what is happening. Perhaps the father felt the same way about his eldest and that's why he posed the question the way he did. Nothing to do with her being a girl, but because the oldest has the ability to take on more responsibility.

And in case someone thinks it's unfair to place a larger burden on the oldest, they also have later bed times, freedom to grab their own snacks etc.. The youngest will have all the responsibilities and privileges my oldest enjoys as he reaches the same age/abilities. This is natural.

The oldest could walk away and tell a parent what is happening rather than become a victim. They have the size and cognitive ability to do so. And they should. Boy or Girl.


Good Lord.
Let me guess. In your book, Trump, Bill Oreilly Jon Hinson, Larry Craig, Bill Clinton, Ted Nugent, and Harvey Weinstein were simply sex workers that were stiffed for payment.
Right?


Or is Donald Trump lying - multiple times a day? The answer is yes, to save you some research. He's the "only one that matters", Trump himself says. Everything else is irrelevant.


_" the political choices people like you have made since 1992 have been unacceptable to me"_

OK. Simple question for you smarty-pants -- list who I voted for in national elections since 1992.

Another e.g. of a fan masquerading as a reporter.  Extremely biased reporting, this guy's nose firmly out of joint that his heroes had the audacity to lose this game.

OK, I know MacGregor's your garden variety hockey reporter, there's not much there there, but even for him, this is atrocious copy.

It's almost as if this guy is taking the Sens' loss personally, as some affront directedto him.  What sort of journalism is this, and what kind of newspaper is this?

As for blowing the lead, look 'round you, Mr. MacGregor, teams have been blowing 2 and 3-goal leads all over the place this 1st round, including each of the 2 teams in this series.  Please don't cherry pick 1 from a whole list of teams that have given up leads and make such a big deal 'bout it, OK?  Especially if you're picking that team cuz you're made they blew a game, leave your personal feelings out of it.


The Trump administration has put its best girl from the hills forward to deflect criticism of Trump policy by calling everything that exposes Trump for his cronyism and deceit, and outright lies fake news.
 Trump lies to himself every day he rolls out of bed, and he expects the world to accept this behavior as normal. There is nothing normal about Trump or his cabel of deceitful cronies, he is a TOXIC human. The press should protest by joining forces and boycott the Whitehouse Press meetings. The single most important thing that Trump obsesses about is media attention.
 So simply ignore him for a week and watch the firestorm temper tantrum errupt from this toxic waste of oxygen.


Jiminiy Cricket!  What to do?  What to do?

O'leary is a lucky douche (based on his 1 good biz deal just prior to the dot com collapse). Trump is a successful douche. Trudeau is just a douche.


No worries Steve but I appreciate your comments.  Like I said I pay bonus to my employees who exemplify hard word and productivity with yearly bonuses.  I do not give out guartnteed contracts regardless of performance.
BTW,  I do not watch that many games, but as a statistician and math guy, I like to crunch numbers.  Everytime I see the  Rogers clan up at Lake Rosseau when cottaging I think of what they are paying this guy on a weekly basis.
No worries for me mate....I just have worries of fans who blindly follow professioal sports without thinking about their own well being.  Me I am just fine thank you. I am a firm believer worldwide rabid sports fans have some sort of imbalance within themselves when they are so absorbed in someones else life. Believe me I know a few ex professiobal athletes and they dont give a rats a....about me or you.
That being said, I am really rooting for the guys down in Buffalo to take out these overpaid bums.


No.
It doesn't.
It indicates a smokescreen to hide from liability.


Autonomous vehicles are coming. They will be safer because they remove human driving errors. The will be far more efficient traffic flow, and energy consumption wise, again because humans won't be mucking it up.

Millennials will embrace the technology because they can engage in social media and text to their hart's content and many of them have no interest in driving anyway.

The transportation industry will embrace the technology because they eliminate the labor cost of human drivers, and they don't have to worry about human drivers needing sleep.

The Ride sharing industry is not only embracing it, they are pushing for it because they too want to eliminate labor costs.

This is a smart move for Colorado. This also means that we need to be ahead of the curve when a whole sector of employment becomes obsolete. That will be a far larger challenge than outsourcing factory work ever was.


been a happy customer of coastal community for the past 5 years; just moved my business accounts there.  Much prefer them to other banks in the area.


That is a suggestion I had not considered. Normally the company pays the base ticket and I pay for the upgrades. (My time and comfort is worth some extra money) To be honest, I have never even looked at the Centennial flights, which is sad since I work in DTC.


Liberals struggling to find someone shady enough to look the other way.


Hello Rdp46,
Do you know a way to implement your suggestion of  "in the United States on a state basis requiring priests and pastors to have professional licenses to ensure minimum ethical conduct"?
Jane Mack suggested one way in the following posts.  What is your thought on those?


Between their election in 2015 and the end of the next fiscal year, the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau plans to run up deficits totalling $52.5 billion — with another $91.3 billion planned for the next four years after that.

http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/everyone-gets-a-bathtub-full-of-beer-what-the-liberals-massive-52-5b-deficits-could-buy

Andrew, it will take 100 years to fix the damage this government is doing and the burden they are placing on young Canadians.


You haven't heard?  Everything a liberal does wrong is someone else's fault.  They never want to accept responsibility for anything.


Two other adults in the house? So who are they and why did they not act to stop her?


Why should you have to pay for maternity coverage? Let's see.

Were you born? And did others help foot the bill for your birth? If the answer is 'yes' to both then you should pay a little bit for someone else to be born.

And, clearly, neither are open carry syates like TX and NV.


No, no, no! We need to eliminate as many toxins from our environment as possible.


I am an American citizen.  Doesn't that make me a "real" American?


The article did not originate on Breitbart. The article is true and genuine and I have linked to the original source numerous times in this thread, so you are just plain wrong with your accusation of "distorting the news."

The Gospel of Jesus admonishes us to repent of our sins, carry our own cross, live a life of holiness in obedience to Him, and seek the truth of the matter. I think your own motivations indicate serious issues, as evidenced by your false witness against me in times past and now your false witness against Tom.


According to the Carbon Cult, hurricane Irma is caused because people are not having enough ecosex with Mother Earth, and nobody has found her G-spot yet so she is furious.

LOL Fuel economy: TBA.  As long as we are dreaming,  spend 60k more for a Tesla Model X P100D, use no gas, and have a ludicrous time leaving this joke of a Jeep in the dust. Queue the YouTube Tesla drag strip videos.


Not as long as the Left is in existence, it fuels their collective narrative.


Those historical protests were the result of wealth and government power, not average Joes banding together to protest.  The hippie movement was started by the government.  Even today the vast majority of protesters are paid by moneyed interests.

The people hold no power; the government possesses the weapons.   You have your vote as to which tyrant is going to tell you how to live.  The greatest power individuals have is to free themselves from their government, focus on their families and economic independence.

The tomato workers are a product of their government.  Boycotting tomatoes will just make them (and workers at Wendy's) lose their jobs.  Don't be naive.


I'm confused. Does the justice department only track police officers killed by felons?  Is it that anyone who kills a police officer becomes a felon?  Or is it that only those preciously convicted of a felony kill police officers?


"Refugee advocates urge Canada to keep borders open amid Trump directives"

This is ridiculous.  Why are you so hot to have male politicians?  And are you inferring character etc. is male?  Because if not, you show interest in only tapping into half of it if you don't care about equal representation by gender.


Tthen have a lower flat tax rate(say 20%)...and if i work hard for my money why shouldn't I reap the rewards.  Earning $5mil a year is not easy


Maybe he is daft enough to think that but the guys in long pants won't let him.


These passengers were flying for free... and representing the company.
The company asks that those who fly free dress nicer than they would normally.
It's hardly a big ask.

Flying free as an employee on Air Canada usually means a suit for men.
If you want to wear whatever you like, pay for the fare and do as you please.


The lovely Candace Malcolm provided a follow-up to this story :
“When asked by a reporter if individuals expressing extremist views should be allowed to continue working at our country’s airports, Trudeau’s response was remarkable for its lack of clarity and courage.
‘I think that's part of the kind of conversations we have to have as a society,’ said Trudeau.
‘Keeping people safe is paramount important [presumably the former drama teacher meant to say “paramount”], but defending our rights and freedoms is as well, and making sure we do that in the right way.’” Got that? We have to find the right balance between keeping our planes from blowing up and allowing airport workers to let their jihadist flag fly! Justin Trudeau is the worst Canadian PM ever.


If Trump went it would be an unmitigated public relations disaster for Trump and America. Trump would be humiliated and Americans would be angry.. Not because he doesn't deserve to be humiliated but because he was.

Trump stay home.. Go play golf


If he had just bought the 6 Big Canadian Banks and reinvested the dividends he would probably be ahead.

Lindsay Graham is a political hack, been bought and paid for a dozen times over. A disgrace to his office and the State of South Carolina. Next year is going to be very interesting and I cant wait to see what happens.


The shooter's lifestyle is coming into focus but not a motive -- not yet.


I respectfully suggest that you research it: https://www.uscis.gov/. Find a category under which dreamers can apply for citizenship, or even a green card.


Canadian Tech industry is one of the largest sectors that continuously discriminates against women.  This is because the companies are made up of leaders and men who are from countries where mysogyny is systematic  and continuously enforced. Microsoft has never been more adverse to promoting women, along with Google, Shopify, and Wattpad.   I am for immigration but not for giving special privileges to Tech companies.  These companies has reduced our job market to part time workers and not enhanced it as they claim.  We will just end up with more Uber drivers in Canada.


You mean they have a set of values?  What a shock, hey?  Evil only prospers when good people do nothing. At least the citizens who participate in SumofUs are acting to offset the expression of evil.


He said "we" not they.


"Choo-choo bro" said not to worry, it's being built on time and on budget! ;-) LOL


Instead of asking anthropology students for their opinion on the protests, ask students from engineering, medical, business, science etc faculities.   You know, the ones that will actually carry the country forward.

As to the protests : entirely obvious.    Obviously the maddening lack of progress to a solution must be frustrating.  Obviously a bunch of opportunists wanting to make their name as future politicians will find a bunch of kids that do not want to have their knwoledge tested.

One thing for sure : if I started this year late because of riots and faced finishing around XMas due to riots and somebody tries to take my exam answer paper that I worked hard for the wole damned year, they would not simply take it from me!    They have their right to protest, other kids have their right to write exams.


Hey it's good to say,
Good morning USA
And the g and m are
censors. They like the
politicians keep telling
themselves they are
right, still dosen't make
it true.


Consider the source. Don't be cowed or intimidated.


I think it is no longer controversial to assert that Trump is a pathological liar in the clinical sense, for the reasons you assert.
I think an important instance is the lie Trump insisted that Donald Jr. tell regarding the now infamous meeting with Russians during the campaign.  Jr., Jared and their lawyers had agreed that their best bet was to pull the proverbial band-aid -- that is, to tell the truth quickly and candidly, knowing that it would hurt, but also knowing that if they didn't tell the truth, it would hurt more if/when the truth eventually emerged. This is sound strategy legally and as crisis management. But Trump Sr. was having none of it. He insisted that Jr., Jared and their attorneys lie about the meeting: who attended, what they discussed, etc. Then he sent his own team of liars -- Sanders, Sekulow, et alia out to perpetuate the lies; and of course they all got caught. Yesterday, Sanders, in another pathetic performance, tried to continue spinning the lies.


It's not any harder to remove a cop than to remove any other public employee and that  isn't nearly as hard as it is made out to be.   The Troopers have an elaborate contractual administrative investigation process that tripped the State up several times, but that was thirty years ago.   The problem with removing a cop is having a management that wants to if the union backed the administration.   During Knowles, the union didn't need a grievance procedure; they had the Commissioner of Administration's phone number.   DPS resorted to giving reprimands for conduct that should have gotten much stronger discipline because the union couldn't grieve reprimands.   The bane of my life in dealing with Trooper cases during Murkowski was when we tried to appropriately discipline somebody, the union would trot out ten reprimands for the same or a worse offense and argue disparate treatment and/or discrimination.   I'm sure the same thing is going on now and Moneghan won't be an improvement.


Agree, most officers are actually nice including those in Hawaii, only a few at the top are messed up. These two leaders forced innocent officers to do their dirty laundry for them. I'm glad they're prosecuting the source of the corruption and hopefully putting an end or at least putting a significant dent into future lawless Banana shenanigans that went on here.


Enough with the inferiority complex already, UO. No one at the UO is served by dwelling on these things they can never control. The UO doesn't and won't ever have an engineering or medical school (and doesn't need them). It can't compete with universities such as Stanford, Michigan or UCLA in terms of resources because they have a much longer history of world-class research and scholarship and a much larger and wealthier donor base.

The UO should just focus on its mission, as the flagship public university of Oregon. It isn't the flagship state university of California, Washington, Michigan, Ohio, or Florida or any other state. It should focus on Oregon, its residents, its communities. Focus on what it can control, such as sound administrative oversight, effective and efficient fiscal management, robust faculty research and instructional quality, and providing the best support it can to staff and students. Just quit being Chicken Little; it's a pointless waste of everyone's time.


Actually, Demento is still beating on the same ethnic drum.  This isn't a story about immigration already...


Wow.....  very very nice! Looks like it was made in Germany. Someone who has money to buy a German name plate may not be looking at a Genesis, what's the attraction? Same styling, similar features, slightly different driving dynamics.....  how do you get potential customers to sign on the dotted line?   (The depreciation may be higher). Don't get me wrong, from the pictures here it looks fantastic but closing the deal may prove to be tough unless the dealer is offering $5000 off the price...


I am not sure he understands the public in general, after all he lost the popular vote.  His speech was a distillation of his campaign I would agree aimed at his supporters, which how those 12-13 year olds I taught used to behave - aimed at those who "followed" them.  I am not sure of his honesty, as so much of what he says is demonstrably false; what scares me is that he may believe that they are true.  His language is aimed at the reality TV audiences and delivered in the same way so yes it works to get him elected, but will it allow him to govern?


The low-wage ones aren't?  I didn't see anything indicating that, unless I just missed it.


Funny you should mention this. I recall doctors perscribing meds for my specific injuries and after taking them I had to take a time out because of it's side effects. I couldn't even walk straight. Good thing I wasn't driving.


"Eric Ryan, the group’s campaign manager who also lead the Stop Rail Now campaign eight years ago."

That doesn't sound right at all.  I think he was briefly associated with that group but they had a falling out or something.  He was never the leader as far as I recall.  He doesn't seem to play well with others.

Anyway, forcing the route to end at Middle Street would be ridiculous.  He should change the name to "Make Rail a Failure."

Who are the other "leaders" of this "hui?"  Are there any, or is this a one-man band?

Civil Beat really needs to stop being so gullible.


It may not be wise to make a prediction about something that will happen in the near future. When you're wrong, which obviously you will be, you could look  ... not smart?
How on earth do you figure scheer  could out-debate JT? Nobody has even heard of scheer before yesterday. Has he ever spoken for more than 2 minutes  in the House on anything serious? Did he change any opinions then? Has he introduced any bills? In short, what has he done to give you such an opinion of him? He has sunny ways?


Heyman was Obama's largest fundraiser in Illinois,as well as a partner at Goldman Sachs.

Simple as that.


The trailer is for a chess movie, not the one described in the article. A little professionalism, please, Willamette.


What I find bizarre about this opinion piece is that the author is an attorney.       An attorney who clearly cares zero for both the spirit and the undeniable letter of the law of the Constitution and the First Amendment.

How is it possible to "love" this country so much,  while hating that people actually exercise the rights that are supposed to be what has made America "great".   I don't think it is possible.    I don't think Mr. Fisher does "love" America.     He sure doesn't love the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.   He doesn't want people to have those rights at all, especially Mr. Kaepernick.

As contradictory, nonsensical, and vacuous as I find Mr. Fisher's opinion, I'm still glad he has the right and the freedom to write it.   He, at least, has the freedom to do that without people saying he shouldn't have that freedom.


Kevin, (continued)
Of course one should go to Confession as soon as possible (immediately) if they are sins of the flesh: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing). People die suddenly, without the opportunity of going to Confession and sometimes people are no longer conscious for some time before dying. We should seek God's mercy in the Sacrament of Confession now, when it is available to us. I have written before that Joe and people in his situation - engulfed in habitual sin (like the organist at my Church) have to choose between Jesus and remaining in their sin. The choice of course is always theirs. God will not force but He is so very happy when we choose to live in His light rather than live in our own darkness. He wants us to want to please Him and not our selfish desires! You have mentioned making a public act of repentance before the Divine Mercy image. (continued
