And what mess it this? Are we adding in state revenue for DUI fines and incarceration. Rehab? The State is not paying for all of this. I'm thinking your number is a tad inflated.


Everybody, and especially the private sector, hates "big government" UNTIL it can benefit THEM! Now, via a typical smoke and mirrors ploy, Obie wants to use a development he is not building as justification for getting tax exemptions from...local GOVERNMENT.  The most important line in the article: The housing agency could build its project without Obie’s, HACSA Real Estate Development Director Steve Ochs said.


If you mean Human Rights Tribunals, Jack, I'm pretty confident neither you nor your 'friends' have the faintest idea how they actually operate. Why am I so confident?  Because when challenged on it, none of you can go past Ezra Levant talking points.


I believe most Canadians agree immigration has been good as a whole. However, the author (Doug Sanders) is promoting the notion of a 100m person Canada in just a couple of decades. He believes this is necessary to achieve some economies of scale that will enable us to achieve greatness.

I believe Canada is doing just fine. By all means let's welcome new immigrants but let's not be in a haste to wreck what we and those before us have built by recklessly opening the flood gates.


$10,000,000,000 could be well spent replacing water  and sewer lines to alleviate any traffic problems. At least more than 2% that the broken train is gong to save.


Caldwell-"To put people first before profit" Look at his inheritance property,  paying only $300 property tax yearly will be inherited again later by his daughter. So, does he cares about us? When this property goes up because rail completion is needed....who will pay more property taxes? Us citizens of Oahu.  He cares about quality of life! Mr. Mayor what you are saying don't make sense. You can't even help or have solution about Homelessness! Admit it mayor, you are not capable of managing the city. You lied to the State for not giving them full information about the rail. They already told you to clean up your house first. Have HART be audited! And your City Director as acting Cief if HART is conflict of interest. Can't you see that mayor? Or you just continue to abuse the system of City Ethics. Again, I call all the Democrats and Republican to work together for this Mayoral race as it is Non-Partisan. By doing so, it will be best for our city. Trust Charles Djou  4 Mayor.


The tales I`ve heard from people who work in the service industry are different.

Pouring coffee may be one thing if decent wages are mandated, but being a maid in a lot of large hotels is back-breaking work that is underpaid and involves effort completely out of proportion, to, say, being a bellhop who gets a buck per bag.

Let`s put it another way: if one can afford a $250 hotel room (low average rate in downtown Toronto these days), and $25 per night for valet parking, then one can afford a buck a night for the maid to make up the room and a few dollars at the end of the stay to `change the room`.  If you leave a dollar each day on the bedside table with a small note saying `Thank you`in a hotel, the maid will often write out a reply that shows real appreciation.   Sometimes they will even stop you in the hall to briefly thank you personally because a lot of people don`t understand how much this small tip means to them both financially and as a gesture of respect.


This is the same thing as the last one they voted on, but adding Trump's new plan to destroy the Affordable Care Act.  They are disguising the poison bullet that they are inserting.

Totally a sleazy liar move.


The military has commented that they had no idea this was coming. This was not 'a military decision' unless it's common for military decisions to be made without the military knowing about it. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has gone on record stating that until they get more specific direction from The White House, they plan no change to their transgender policy. Dunford said, "we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect."


For Fall Kabib: When will your stoning pit for perceived criminal Alaska Natives, which probably includes everyone of us, be in operation? We can make it one where up until the 1950s, white families packed a picnic lunch to watch lynchings of Black folks in the deep south. Wouldn't that be a kick?


Holy Cow! The errors and omissions in this editorial are so numerous it deserves little or no consideration of factual merit. Does the RG even fact check anything anymore?


You can't judge AKLandVoucher treats his/her family by one comment.


Unfortunately, this is a very shallow discussion devoid of a long-range vision.  Honolulu is building a system that will transition our communities from a dependence on cars to many modes and transit options.  An article presenting a snapshot today, before TOD communities are fully developed and people have the opportunity to choose between modes, housing locations, employment centers, shopping malls, etc. is overly simplistic and ignores the wisdom of investing in a new and different transportation system that will deliver commuters from Point A to Point B without the need to own a car.


Part of it is the media's poor grasp of China and why these issues matter. Beijing has infiltrated our insitutions and government (Yuen Pau Woo for example) and yet we barely hear about it in Canadian media.


Knowing that he doesn’t have a lot of time left, Arizona Senator John McCain gave a dramatic thumbs down producing an audible gasp on the Senate floor. Cheers broke out as a gloomy Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stood nearby with his arms folded.

John McCain said he believed Obamacare should be repealed, but that the Republican bill “offered no replacement to actually reform our health care system and deliver affordable, quality health care to our citizens."

What lies at the depths of Colorado Senator Cory Gardner's heart was fully revealed in the wee hours of the morning as one who fully supported this bill from beginning to end, a health care bill that at its heart played a sinister joke on the poor — from beginning to end.

Contrast Sen. John McCain with Sen. Cory Gardner. One is going to die a hero, the other will live long enough to be a villain.


You can install as many crosswalks as you want, if pedestrians are too lazy to use them it won't make any difference.  Many of the pedestrian deaths lately are from jaywalking and dangerous pedestrian habits.  Sure this law wouldn't help that but don't only blame cars for pedestrians getting killed.  If the pedestrians obeyed the law and took a minute to cross where it was legal many would still be alive.


"We must all be aware of the proliferation of hate groups in this country and just who is permitting and excusing and even encouraging it."

Cassandra....who is permitting, excusing and even encouraging hate groups in this country ...which government, governmental agency or department or ministry, church or religious organization, employer, business council or organization, charity, union, arts group, film-makers, writers, universities, schools, police force, armed forces department, professional sports organization, town council, real estate developer or property-management company,  bank, credit agency, youth group,  ....who....


A  church focused on the poor and justice also helps alleviate economic conditions which contribute to factors leading to some women considering abortion. The stronger the social safety net, the less the cause for despair. There is more than one approach to the goal of reducing the impetus for abortion.


Betty, I heard Bill Donohue on a recent EWTN radio report state that there were (from my memory) 23 accusations and 2 actual cases in that (or similar?) time frame. Of course, he and Arroyo pushed the "it's only those homosexual corrupt priests" angle.  While I believe your figures, the information out there is frighteningly diffuse, and we continue have all conversation (and conversion) undermined by alternative facts.


Our company employs both salaried (white collar) employees and minimum wage hourly employees. The split is 80 white collar in Ontario, 200 hourly in Ontario, 50 hourly in Quebec, and 100 hourly in the US. Guess where we be growing the hourly jobs? We're in the service business and compete against firms across the US and Canada. Roughly half of our revenue is from US clients. This puts some (not all but some) of the salaried jobs in Ontario at risk too. Wynn and Trudeau have no clue how wealth is created - they have to go.


D.D.,

I totally agree.

Did you notice that the pastor who challenged the group to pray was a woman? I take that as confirmation that your gender doesn't matter to God, just your willingness to follow Him and be used by Him.

What amazes me in gift-based ministry is the many ways we can improve the lives of others and draw them closer to God without having to say a word about Him. No Bible study. No doctrinal discussion. Just loving them and feeling God's power warming each person's heart. I've long since lost count of the times I've done a repair at someone's home, or led a team doing a bigger job, and at the end heard the owner praising God for the blessing we had given them. Those are the days I go home feeling like I may have received a greater blessing than I delivered and utterly humbled knowing God used me to bless someone else. It is a blessing I wish more people would allow God to give them.


A few facts brissy that you and Rochy can deflect on as we know you do not like to actually debate:

1. Stephen Harper steered Canada’s economy to its lowest levels of growth in 69 years
2. Harper has the worst job creation record of any Prime Minister since 1946
3. Harper is the first Prime Minister since the 1950s to oversee a decline in the employment rate


let us tell these armed goons their time of unlimited power to hassle is ending -like Barry O said -elections have consequences.  Having human rites abuser Billi "beat 'em up" Blair continues to impress.


"How Will the Church Recon with Charlottesville"?
This way?:
"Racism is a poison of the soul. It’s the ugly, original sin of our country, an illness that has never fully healed. Blending it with the Nazi salute, the relic of a regime that murdered millions, compounds the obscenity. Thus the wave of public anger about white nationalist events in Charlottesville this weekend is well warranted. We especially need to pray for those injured in the violence.
..."Charlottesville matters. It’s a snapshot of our public unraveling into real hatreds brutally expressed; a collapse of restraint and mutual respect now taking place across the country. We need to keep the images of Charlottesville alive in our memories. If we want a different kind of country in the future, we need to start today with a conversion in our own hearts, and an insistence on the same in others. That may sound simple. But the history of our nation and its tortured attitudes toward race proves exactly the opposite."

Huh...more like the Globe editorial missed the bus...again...you are not allowed to reference Mr. Bannon in any way, shape or form with respect to Canadian politics...period...no different than referencing Hitler...and by the way...except for my limousine Liberal friends, most everybody I know thinks it's a great idea...and if it doesn't get implemented...they will incorporate...


I have mine to defend my family, myself, and anyone else near me/us who may be in immediate danger.


Unlike Donald Trump, huh? Wow.


That's not true at all.

The world recently signed a huge aviation agreement to cut emissions.  And they are looking at using natural gas now for shipping to reduce emissions.

There are options for those who care.


My Mom frowned on this uncivilized display of table manners. My Dad didn’t care, he ate with his hands and would just grunt.


What your asking for in a Parliamentary system


My favourite place to listen to the Vinyl Cafe was in the car.  Absolutely great for road trips, the kids wouldn't get out of the car so there were many times we sat in the driveway/parking lot to hear the end of the story.
Always great music as well.  I have CDs & will listen to them with fondness and a little sadness going forward.
Thanks Stuart, Rest in Peace.


Well if Kiszla says it must be wrong.


It is good to see the military defying tRump!


Maybe Ms. Barnard meant "antidisestablishmentarianism", allegedly the longest legitimate non-scientific word in the English language :-)
Her letter is odd in another way. I only know what I read on the Internet, but my understanding of various news articles is that the SCOTUS majority was taking a strong exception to broad interpretation of state constitution Blaine Amendments. I think Ms. Barnard got SCOTUS wrong.
On one hand, I don't think state funding should go to supporting religion. On the other hand, if this "free shredded tires" program was open to any public OR private school that met certain qualifications, and this religious school qualified, it is religious discrimination to tell the school "no" solely because it was church-owned.
Now comes the fun part: Lawyers arguing that if state-supplied shredded tires are okay, then x, y, z, aa, bb, and cc are okay, also.


Liberals have the conviction of overcooked pasta.


Its not a non-sequitor because he also cancelled transit subsidies too.And thats a Toronto thing. Also Toronto has a very wide catchment area (look it up) which means that many come from other municipalities to Toronto because the services, experts, hospitals are here. non-sequitor? Not in the real world.


Cut the budget in half? You are joking right?


From Dave Pellegrin who didn't have access to the internet and couldn't get this to post:

There's a basic confusion about "First Amendment rights" running through several of the comments here.

As Keith Rollman writes, "The U.S. Constitution guarantees the rights of every citizen to speak his or her mind, even if David Pellegrin doesn't like it."

Well I do like it, but it does not guarantee the right of every citizen to come into my home or place of work or school to do just that. The First Amendment right is to publish or shout wherever you can (these days most prominently on the internet). It's not a right guaranteeing that I or any institution has to help you do it.


Every other amendment covers individuals why do you think the 2nd would cover the state. The supreme court disagreed with you by the way with the Heller decision. Actually looser gun laws do make us safer as the cities and counties with the strictest gun control laws have the worst crime rates. Chicago for instance.


The full statement, in context, is here - https://www.economist.com/Trumptranscript
-
" But some people will look at this bill and say, hang on, a lot of people are going to lose their coverage."
[...] The state governments are in much better position to, you know, help people. In terms of, you know, just the size, the mere size of it. But we’re putting in $8bn and you’re going to have absolute coverage. You’re going to have absolute guaranteed coverage. You’re going to have it if you’re a person going in…don’t forget, this was not supposed to be the way insurance works. Insurance is, you’re 20 years old, you just graduated from college, and you start paying $15 a month for the rest of your life and by the time you’re 70, and you really need it, you’re still paying the same amount and that’s really insurance.

But I believe it’s very important to have this. Because one thing Obamacare did, is it gave that and it was a concept that people hadn’t heard of...

...


I believe they have.  Almost more importantly, they are less concerned about what other people say, and just post their opinion instead.  I hope that's alright with you.


They do ask?


I don't prioritize like that.  Why would you say that?

Is this not supposed to be a country where people are innocent until proven guilty?  Why would you prioritize the guilty over the innocent?  What if you or someone you loved was the one being accused?

Maybe you should research the prosecutors' win rate.  I'm sure that would make you feel better.


They are not brief. We have had 2 years of speeches telling us who Trump is. Two years of NAZIs telling us he is their man. I believed him. I believed them. So did Brooks-spector. This is what I said would happen all along.
And to quote some NAZIs over at dailystormer discussing the woman who was killed:'if they start calling us terrorists we will just transform back into Trump supporters'


We can say any religion is bad, chineseintoronto.  As the law stands today at least, I can say the following without fear of reprisal from the government.  Fear of reprisal from devout Muslims and Leftists on the other hand......

- Islam is based on an ancient death cult.
- Many Muslims around the world believe gays, infidels, apostates and non-believers should be killed
- It is perfectly ok to take sex slaves while in battle against the infidels
- It is the duty of all good Muslims to help establish a worldwide caliphate.

These are just the facts according to the Quran.  Fortunately, not all Muslims practice the Quran to the letter.  If they did, we'd all be dead by now. It's the many who do we need to be concerned about.

From Robin Brena:

"Changes that would help

If we continue with this percentage of "net income" approach, then it will need to be substantially revised. Among the revisions we should consider are:

(1) Increase the base rate for the major legacy fields and for merely harvesting our resources rather than exploring for additional resource.

(2) Eliminate credits (taken as deductions and paid) for all but the most challenged fields.

(3) Eliminate loss carryforwards.

(4) Eliminate the "new oil" definition or reduce the scope of its application to only the most challenged fields (which would not include Point Thomson).

(5) Increase progressivity.

(6) Add the auditing and legal resources necessary to ensure revenue certainty for the state and producers and to minimize gaming.

(7) Increase transparency so we know the financial performance of the producers operating in Alaska.

These revisions should increase current revenues by almost $3 billion"


Joanna777, YOU have offered nothing here that will help further the discussion. Instead you try to hijack the discussion and turn it to you favorite topic, the PFD.

This column is about health insurance, keep it that way.


Ahh and yet not one of you can offer a sane rebuttal on why you think war crimes are acceptable but having the courage to call them out is not?    How typical of low effort thinkers.


We didn't think he had a forged Birth certificate ...we knew that he kept trying to pawn off a forged BC as the real thing over and over ...and it wasn't even a good forgery


And in some ways not nearly as ruthless with people he didn't like.


It was also the North Atlantic. In September. Doubtful that anyone would have survived a ditching without a survival suit.


Should have said among the most profitable, then. I'm sure you enjoy tour smart phone made by $2.00/hr non-american, non-tax paying labor. Same with most of the clothes you wear. Yet those corporations bring in their products, tariff free, and we can afford them. Not saying we should have tariffs, just that it's a little more complicated than that and government subsidies come in many forms.
What about colleges that put gender studies people into lifetime debt because government subsidized loans drive up the price of tuition.
I often see people on these posts that are all for the state investing in the gasline or taking over oil production, outright, and keeping all of the profit. How is that any different than giving tax credits as a defacto "partner'' and making many times that amount back in royalties and other taxes.
The current tax structure has encouraged exploration and production. Maximum benefit of the people does not necessarily mean maximum money for the state to dole out.


It means people who saved and bought a house, and who keep that house for the long haul can count on only 2% a year hikes in their property taxes. That encourages more people, not less, to buy homes there. So they do so, buy that is.

Disneyland has been there since the 1950's-drawing paying tourists all that time. A  cash anchor is more appropriate to describe Disneyland.

Ha! How surprising, Kiszla with an anti-CU so called article. Although it's not called that much, when a receiver pushes off a defender to gain the advantage to catch the ball it's offensive pass interference! That was the case in all 3 of those flags. The defender has the same right to go up and get the ball. Sorry csu, you got caught. I hope you do well the rest of the season.


9,000 people turned out for Trump. Hillary was lucky to muster up a crowd of 900 during the Presidential campaign. What galls the mainstream media more than anything Trump says is that his support hasn't wavered no matter how much the MSM vilifies him.


Canada doesn't have the power to declare we won't talk to the U.S., unlike the U.S. vs. other countries. So friendly relationships (where we can at least agree to disagree) are required.


And all the Dems went along with their share of the pie for "projects" back home. Blame both parties for bloated budgets. Now, any cuts are like taking heroine away from an addict. Same can be said of the PFD.


companies start with an idea, not with profits, it can take a while and require capital for the former to turn into the latter. I agree a lot of garbage gets funded, but we we may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Suncor and Raymond James aren't the metric, the former is a mature company and the latter does not fund early stage co's. As long as the risk is presented to the investor (high), then no one should argue with the comp, one way or the other. don't forget, the brokers want their clients to make money too, or they lose a client...


My god, you are literally clueless. China - England - Germany, for starters, are just some of the countries he has insulted and angered. Not Russia, of course.

How's the weather in Siberia these days, AT?


Justin leads Canada with a background of twenty years that includes two years as a substitute teacher some summer rafting, and bouncing which I find hard to believe. That's it folks. Naive that's for sure especially those who voted for the dabbling trust fund heir.

I am quite well, thanks. And such a fine day, too! Fresh from rain, bright with sun.

Hana hou-hum. In the early 70s as a student at Aina Haina Elementary, we WERE taught pidgin, along with Esperanto. "Pidgin to da Max" was the comic book like textbook.  The fact that nobody seems to remember, is indicative of its success.


California should benefit from personable gun carry. The crime rate justifies it. Cop are never around when you need them. Maybe the victim can apply for one and actually get one based on her experience. Didn't a Filipino governor and a police chief's sister get special gun carry permits a few years ago before the news got a hold of this story?


Yet, the Alaska legislature and government continues to provide large corporations with luxury tax credits and supplementing / supplanting labor costs for business.  How, by allowing business like WalMart, Target, and a raft of other businesses that pay the basic minimum wage, instead of a living wage, and limit the hours of employees to 30 hours or less.  Thus, aside from low wages, the ilk of these businesses avoid paying health care insurance benefits.
Well, how is that you say?  Simple, by paying minimum wages and restricting full time pay for those who are paid above the minimum wage, these businesses place their employees in to the public assistance eligibility bucket, thus the supplementing / supplanting labor costs for businesses.  WalMart, Target, and other businesses employing more than 20 - 50 employees, are milking the system and taxpayers, in Alaska, by the billions, nationally, by the trillions. The cost of public assistance is borne by taxpayers and burdens governments.

First Trump marginalized the intelligence agencies' conclusion as "could have been a guy in New Jersey."
Then he concluded that Russia wasn't involved and made the issue political even to the point of calling it a "witch hunt."
Trump even gave more credit to Assange than the US Intelligence agencies.
Now he that was briefed with classified information he does nearly a complete 180 and promises to act in the next 90 days to address cyberwarfare.

Judging from Trump's conduct he is making public judgments he is completely clueless about.  What's worse is that he knows of his own ignorance and yet still opens his mouth and proceeds to stick his foot in.  Trump complained about the CIA being involved with the Iraq invasion but at least Bush acted with some information in reaching a conclusion.  Trump's conclusion without any information, willful disregard for any evidence to the contrary and intentional attacks on intelligence agencies is far, far worse.


Then show it on live television...the simple will then learn to obey standard rules of social engineering, who knows maybe your taxes will go down for law enforcement, the value of your property and worth will rise. life and living will increase.

This is a questionable thing to do, from an outsiders view and certainly seems like a lot of people to let go.  There were apparently communications issues with the medical staff so that piece I think i can understand, but not sure about the PR/Communications side.

I do think it's interesting that this side of the business - which fans would rarely ever think about would generate press and this many comments from fans. It'll be interesting to see if there's any appreciable difference in how things are communicated in the coming months.


Well the big difference is that in Taiwan people have civil rights, not so in Cuba.


This is America.  We speak ENGLISH in America.  If you want your own country-specific language on government websites,  you're perfectly welcome to go back to said country.  There are literally tens of thousands of immigrants all across the globe who would risk their lives to come here, learn our language and compete for a chance to prosper in the greatest nation in the history of mankind.  You won't be missed.  At all.

Don't like it?  Sorry...we have a REAL American President now.  So F*** OFF and GO HOME.


I will take a stab at your question. Without civilization humans would essentially live in the jungle where actions will be decided on the basis of sheer power and naked whim and desire. Humans over the centuries used religion as part of civil society not just for the creation of deities but more importantly as a basis on which to create moral codes on how to live so that people can live together peacefully and harmoniously. The same ideas on how to live would exist with or wirhout religion but the religion provides a sense of authority behind the code. As societies evolved they took these ideas from religious codes and evolved them further into secular laws with the power of government behind them as the source of authority. For Judeo-Christians you can start for example with the Ten Commandments. Modern society can be argued to have evolved "beyond religion" as far as the state is concerned but still for many there is at least a partial religious element to their value system.


with laundered money, and dont forget the tax avoidance aspect.  Not good for us. but no one seems to care for hard working tax payers.


MyDog,
What exactly is my ilk?
1. PTA's aren't allowed to fundraise by PPS rules. Only special focus options are.  This was a rule intended to help the underprivileged get access to basic education and extra help with learning English. That's not the case here at all. If the PPS allowed all schools to fundraise to directly benefit their kids, I'd have no objection.
2. If this were a private school, and people were raising money, this would not be an issue and nobody would be asking questions. Having this situation within a publicly funded school raises questions about inequity, especially when compared to the other Spanish immersion programs in the city.  It does not even meet the PPS definition of equity.
3. The ASI folk have been all over the media claiming to be victims of racial discrimination and segregation. My "abomination" comment was to point out the falseness of these kind of claims that detract from the needs of the families that are truly facing these issues every day.


Having worked with Jason as a grantee with DHSS I really hope he has some competent staff members working with him in Juneau.  He only lasted a few months as a state employee and most were glad to see him leave.  He does have the gift of gab so maybe he will make a good politician (again, as long as he has good support staff that will keep him organized and on task).   Having said that, I voted for him!  Shows you how much I wanted Vazquez replaced. At the very least he represents some new blood in Juneau.


Here's an interesting question:  If Russian Hackers released this information to Wikileaks, would Democrats be opposed to it?  Would they be more concerned with the source of the leak, or the content of the leaks?

Thanks for a whitesplaining.


The problem is that you are judging Catholicism through the lens of liberal, secular, humanist, atheistic ideology.  You are projecting those values on to Catholic teaching and concluding that Catholic teaching is patriarchal.  You project the values of modern feminism onto Catholic teaching.  Modern feminism is actually guilty of the very misogyny it seeks to condemn.  That is what is ironic.  You accept the claims of modern feminism uncritically, just as you accept the tenants of liberal, secular, humanist atheism uncritically.

I do not accept those values.  I do not project those values onto Catholic teaching.  I do not assume the correctness of those values.  I suppose the real debate here is why liberal, secular, humanistic atheism and modern feminism are values through which we should judge Catholic teaching.


Wow. I'm sorry you got such whiny comments.
Thank you very much for this calculator. I had just told my husband it would be nice to build a spreadsheet to make exactly this calculation, and I guessed it was something that would have to wait until my holidays.  I expect that the people who are NOT commenting here are the people who are actually using it.
Of *course* this is grade school math, and *of course* we don't have knowledge of the future. But many people who have busy lives  don't have the time and psychic energy at the end of a long day to build their own, not to mention remember to take into account all the different costs. So this is a godsend to me. And for those blaming the Globe for not predicting the future for them, I guess you need to lower your expectations.


Our ignorant PM, Ministers and the irresponsible Liberal government have been destroying and messing up peaceful Canada with unnecessary strange immigrants, refugees and students.
Only, after many inquiries, tests and conditions the citizenship should be given after 10 years. The permanent residence should be given after 5 years. The work permits and refugee entry should be stopped immediately.
We cannot tolerate and wait any more. We Canadians have to protect our nation and our future.


However, it will become the largest Canadian city with the fewest voters as few of the foreigners who ruined the city either live here or are allowed to vote.

This is a very interesting and entertaining article. Thanks to the author for share her experiences with the rest of us Alaskans. Also, I've always thought it would be an interesting endeavor to introduce Siberian Tigers to Alaska. They do quite well on the other side of the Bering Straits and should prosper in Alaska. It would make camping a lot more interesting.


I don't think any Canadians are in doubt about that, Patrick.


Yes, generals he claims to "know more than".

The same generals he was going to charge with coming up with his plan to defeat ISIS "within 30 days of my inauguration".

I wonder if the generals could launch a palace coup against the naked emperor-wannabe.

It was fair and relevent to report on this incident. The incident occurred at a function where the Mayor was attending in his capacity as both an elected offical and most relevently as the cheif exectutive of his county. The idea that working hours were over when this occurred is not relevant.

If the Mayor were at a private function of a friend, where his presence was purely personal and not as Mayor, then it would be questionable if such an outburst would warrant reporting. But that was not the case here. Any elected offical attending a meeting related to their public capacity , whether that meeting is on the officail's island or somewhere else in the world, needs to represent themselves with decorum fitting their being a representative of their constituency. Have a drink or two, if you can maintain proper decorum, but if you cannot, understand the consequences are this behavior will impact your public perception.


Absolutely those blindly looking to cut costs could end up in a worse position.  But I think it is pretty safe to say that a significant percentage of investors could easily trim if not slash their annual fees without negatively impacting their returns before fees or retirement preparation.

The industry hardly has a lot of credibility on it side in this regard.  From excessive MERs for average or below average returns to investment decisions that are more about selling the product than helping the client invest in the best product the list of clients that have been poorly advised and overcharged is lengthy.

The good advisers who generate good returns, provide competent, comprehensive, and client specific advice have little to fear.


That's an example of tax cuts not working likely because there are other forces at play. I notice you didn't show me an example of tax INCREASES  having a growth effect on the economy.  Because it doesn't work .


Why is there a new Hanging Lake article in the Post every day? If someone dies, I get it; otherwise, why all the coverage?


That would be tremendous if it happens.

But it also shows how much Canadian businesses and politicians lie when they say there is a lack of talent in Canada.

If there's a lack of talent why would Amazon consider anywhere in Canada?  You can't bring in 50,000 TFWs.


Please calm down, ToTL, your rant is crazy. These are your fellow citizens. Almost none of them are fascists, almost all want to live in peace with enough prosperity to raise their children, almost none of them want to do you harm. Why are you so angry? I would bet that you are a good person, that you get along with your neighbors, that you worship at the church of your choice, that you work hard and contribute to society. So, why the anger? I have my own anger, I try to understand and control it, and I consider it my duty to smile upon my neighbors. Don't let this forum drive you crazy my friend!


Methinks well done....with a whole lotta ketchup.


You are probably correct in your statement but do not expect any non-english speaking Canadian to admit as much.


i think the old palmer facility is open.

"We continue to make more money when snoring than when active."
"The only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune-tellers look good."

Oh thank you! for turning our hearts away from the cray cray! and giving us all an adult size time out for a little praise and worship.  OK, NCR how about a music column??? Sr. Rose points to film, could we also have a voice for the language many understand in praise and worship music? If this a sample of Kristen Daniels work-- I'd nominate her for more.

Can I get a witness?


Well, no they don't.  Canadians have been sold a bill of goods.  Care to throw good money after bad in 2019?


No one should argue the earth is not warming or the oceans are not rising - they are.  They change almost completely due to changes in solar radiation, not human activity, and have for many, many thousands of years.

I tend to believe MIT who spent considerable time and effort into this survey than your theory of mergers. They also weren't just talking about the past 8 years but the exponential development of future technologies such as robotic vehicles. There are roughly 3.5 million truck drivers in the USA alone and they support an additional 5 more million in restaurants and motels and this is just one area they are talking of automation. This subject needs a vast discussion from society and not just a nod saying new jobs will appear, when in fact they aren't to the extent jobs are vanishing.

In a widely noted study published in 2013, Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne examined the probability of computerisation for 702 occupations and found that 47% of workers in America had jobs at high risk of potential automation. That's a lot of jobs vanishing no matter how you look at it.


Even Trump has given up on the "what about the counter protestors" line, but we still see Right Wing Nuts pursuing it in comments here.

How many Alt Righters / KKK / neo Nazis were killed or sent to the hospital by counter protestors? Zero.

Stop now, that dog won't hunt.


He understands the charges. He has tried to repeatedly state that abortion is murder and he committed the crime to save the babies.


It might help if the adults in the community helped protect young people from rapes and assaults.

In Homer, a boy was raped with video evidence from many witnesses....but one perp was a star football player and this was during playoffs....

The coaches knew about the incident, one was a principal at an elementary school, another a high school administrator.

The police knew, they were given video evidence from many witnesses.

The Homer judge knew what happened. but let them commercial fish and go to Hawaii.  She helped stall the trial for more than two years.  This judge has just been retained by the recent vote.

It is the adults with authority in our community... police, judges,educators that we trusted with our young people that failed the community and enabled these perps to be free to continue to rape.


Gutierrez is the epitome of what is wrong with our Congress.  A do nothing with no responsibility. I know a couple in my state.  I might add he is simply the product of the uniformed electorate that keep sending him back to Washington every two years.

It's American beer so the number won't make a difference, it's all weak as pyshe.


surely you didn't expect this intellectually bankrupt liberal clown to address those issues.


One can only hope that all trump's contradictory statements are contrived to appeal to the immediate audience present , if not , then he is truly mad.


It is a waste of taxpayer money according to Murkowski, but 1.5 trillion for a jet that doesn't work and can get shot down by jets whose designs are 40 years old is not?

Unfortunately an ironic comment was interpreted literally.
When the refugee plan was first being considered, according to media sources, a large percentage of Canadians were concerned with the speed at which this was happening and even whether it should be done at all. Trudeau went ahead and did it anyway, regardless of public opinion.
Exercising one's democratic rights does not always change the outcome, particularly when the politicians refuse to listen.


Thank goodness for the Feds...but the commission really should have good internal controls and oversight to self-police.


W.Gary...  what is the number then..that makes the project more economic?.. do you know one?  What is the price the slope cartel demands?  What is a willing buyer ready to pay for long term gas reliability?  If you don`t know those answers you cannot say whether AGDC`s plans are "economic" or not.  Oil is declining... what would you have us replace it with if you say we cannot afford to even get our own gas to ourselves?  You must make a killing in stocks huh?..knowing so much more than us plain old Alaskans do about what`s happening in secret negotiations. last I heard the price was closer now to the 45 billion number. Not a bad investment if it brings two hundred BILLION to the state over 30-40 years,..as well as finally bring affordable gas to Alaskans in a common-carrier, distance-sensitive gasline open to all producers, not just the three member cartel on our slope.


I would imagine that lots of different groups are leaving.


The problems in our system are multifactorial.
however, the main problems are
The providers are unionised
the customers can access the system as often as they wish with no accountability


I wonder how this will work out. Trump seems to think that all he has to do is write his signature on some ludicrous document and all his dreams will come true. It certainly hasn't worked out with his travel bans and I'm not sure how much success he'll have with this either.


How many of the people covered by this 'travel ban' have "...violated our immigration laws."?


Perhaps pick, click, give is down because of the 7% administrative fee.  I for one, refuse to use pick, click, give for that reason.  I can write a direct check to the recipients of my giving and they receive 100% of the amount I give rather than 93%.

That's just it...I believe what I believe!!! You cannot change that just like I cannot change what you believe (by the way...I take a little offense to the reference of "sky fairies" since I have been a minister for more than 10 years but I try to keep an open mind). However, that does not mean what you believe is the truth or what I believe is the truth. Be sensible...material things (no matter what it may be; for instance, matter, atoms, dust, etc...) has to come from somewhere or something. If there is absolutely nothing in the beginning and matter /antimatter collided to form everything (or however you want to look at it) the bottom line still remains that the matter/antimatter had to have come from somewhere. Where do you suppose it came from?


YAWN !!!
One more anti Trump article from the globe, what a surprises !!
Perhaps the establishment will get off it Ivory towers one day  and recognize this administration was voted in by through a democratic process that is honoring its campaign pledges, something Justin has not !!!!!


If Trump is as bad as you think, wouldn't real criticisms be enough indictment instead of adding false ones?


Any drunk in Merica should have a gun. This guy, along with the Longmont woman armed against squirrels, are just the thing that will keep us all free and great again.

Because campaign finance laws require compulsory disclosure of contributions, Honolulu voters could have known before the last elections, if only they had paid attention, that Mr Caldwell and Mr Martin were heavily funded by development interests.  So voters might have suspected, for example, that the scurrilous attacks on Cayento, funded by and for developers in Mr Caldwell's camp, were suspect.  But Honolulu bought the "rail, on time and on budget" nonsense.  And now they are paying the piper.

Yes, some campaign finance reform might help.  But what we really need is an electorate that gets informed and insists on integrity.  And if voters, having made reasoned judgment about who is talking straight instead of babbling "talking points," were to send their favored candidate a few campaign bucks solely out of appreciation for their honesty, then the developers, the Soros, the Koches, the unions and corporations might find their money doesn't buy our government.  Get engaged, people.


Postponed the announcement for the Veeprentice?  Awful long commercial break there!  BTW, if anyone has $6 million laying around the Convention Host committee is a bit light on cash.....The have hit up Sheldon Adelson but no reply yet.  The 100 Mil he blew on Romney may be coloring that decision.


I wish people would understand that "worshiping" or following a deeply held religious faith, regardless of the sect, denomination, etc. is more than just what happens on Sunday morning from 11am-noon.  Religious faith and religious life is not a suit one wears one day in a week, and then one puts on a different suit for the remainder of the week. True faith affects a person's every action. It forms one's view of the world. Requiring Christians to help facilitate something their faith strongly condemns, e.g. baking a wedding cake, photographing a wedding, counseling a same-sex couple etc., is in the same vein as forcing a conscientious objector to go to war. We don't force C.O.'s into the Army, many of whom have religious objections; why do we force other people of faith to go against their religious objections? If the First Amendment is to be anything more than feel-good legislation, then people of faith must be allowed to live that faith every day-even if it isn't popular with others.


I agree with the governor on this issue to get clarity on gas production plans.


I agree it's in Seattle's best interests for Murray not to seek re-election.  But, then, I also thought it was in Seattle's best interests for Murray not to have run the first time.  After all, what city needs a mayor who proudly proclaims:  "We're just making this up as we go along".


Stoners get their legal weed and now complain about government involvement.  What, exactly, did you expect?


Good thing no one does that with things Trump does, huh?


A good statement by Elway. There are just some players that don't respect or love their country.

Will be so glad when I don't have to read a single BS out of the mouth of KA Hall. Sooner he's off the Wahine volleyball staff, the better. Work in progress? Heck no, what's needed is a total rebuild with some talent at outside hitters. To even suggest Castillo is capable of replacing Taylor is ludicrous as well as continuing to rely on Granato for fire power. Where are the recruits who were supposed to step in on the outside? Unless there are good players coming in the fall, Robin is going to have a difficult season. All you so-called "supporters" better show you're more than "worshippers" who's going to bail at the first sign of struggle. But, can see it already, the disgruntled "idol worshippers" foaming at their mouths about how it "not as good" anymore. Hope all of you prove me wrong but don't think so. Save this post and get back to me after the season to appologize.


I was about to make the same point.

KPMG- detailed answers, please.

Ditto the transferring bank in South Africa.


"Decades later we have more poor in our society than ever before."  We also have a lot bigger population.  We should have more poor than ever before.

Head Start was pretty good at helping reduce generational poverty.


Also, if Trudeau tells me I should like or support something, I immediately despise it out some instinctual nature.

Watching the final, though, I did hope Ottawa would win.  Not out of support of Ottawa, but rather a deeper dislike of Crosby and the Penguins.

Based on the little bit of actually facts being reported in this article I find all the assumptions made by those that have commented here to be way more than far fetched.

hockey is sooooo big it control 85% of our economical structure. if you are upsert your european or asian sport isn't popular you shuld have not moved to canada.


Unemployment rates on reservations are very high around the country for various reasons, and all of our tribes absolutely need a seat at the economic development table. Working together to move the entire county forward is the only way we'll all succeed in a modern economy.

It doesn't seem fair to blame the Makah Reservation in particular for inflating our overall UI rate or to claim it encompasses a large percentage of our overall county population. The overall county unemployment rate is 8%, according the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Sequim is 7.6%. Port Angeles is 7.9%. Forks is 7.9%. The Census Bureau's 2015 estimate has Clallam County's population just under 73,500. The Makah Reservation includes about 1,300 people, or 1.7% of the total population.


What has he done?


That's the great dilemma, isn't it? Intent, or ignorance.

There is far too much documentary evidence proving this to claim ignorance this late in the game.

“What does Russia want?”

Mainly to defend itself in the face of a concerted campaign to weaken it as US/EU power wanes as a result of decades of unchecked corruption, unprecedented corporate power, the economic crises resulting from neoliberal “globalization”, and of course, the strain of the incessant, flagrantly-illegal US-led wars of the past 15 years, which includes the avoidable crisis in Ukraine.


Aloha Gail,

First, the cats cannot even remotely compete with humans in the "hunting, killing, maiming" department.  So I think the old saying that those in glass houses should not throw stones may in fact apply here.  But TNR reduces the hunting, maiming and killing, whereas trap and kill does not, so TNR is by far the more ethically redeeming choice.


Actually education is an instructive or enlightening experience.  Your definition is popular with the "spoon feed regurgitate" movement which prizes repetition over inquiry.  Obviously your "education" at the hands of the local polemicists has achieved their desired goals.  You sir are a certified "Hawaiian Intellectual".

Congratulations !!!

Trump tweets complaint about Sessions "witch hunt".

Okay, I can see the Wizard Of Oz analogy

Jeff Sessions being the Wicked Witch Of The West.

That would make Trump the Wizard Of Oz himself.

Oz turned out to be nothing more than an unctuous blowhard who, when exposed, proved to be a small insecure man of cowardly character.

A good news story.


As someone who has been riding for 20 years, I cant say I agree. I wear full face - but if someone wants to donate organs with one of those retarded Harley wannabe helmets, be my guest. The need for more organs is great. Also I only ride with jacket, but in this weather I can tell you that you will die in city traffic in all that gear. Road rash is not a safety question- it's just how stupid a motorcyclist feels like being. Let people ride how they want, but give us the HOV's so we're not stuck with the 1.03 drivers per lane hogging car pls


Globalism is a complete fail.


No, just because people are unable due to their jobs and lack of funds to travel, doesn't mean that they approve of the oil companies pocketing our money.   We tighten our belts yet again, while Big Oil walks away and takes a nice Hawaiian vacation.  No, I think come Nov. the Gov. and the Legislature will know exactly how much the public thinks this is an 'acceptable' solution.


Our "counties" are called boroughs.
Never heard of Borough police except at our airport.
Hmm, maybe a "sheiff" is a new idea ?


The jury on the "class warfare" thing has been in for some time.
As Warren Buffett said:
" There's class warfare all right. But it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and were winning."


kids these days... should have learned how to drink in high school, not college!


Mr. Stone, rethink your growth plan and look at how you can sustain the environment rather than cover it up with your resort developments. Invest your wealth in other ways that will protect what precious little natural environment Hawaii has left. Money isn't the only thing that brings achievement and power; rethink your wealth.


So your racist? Don't like white people?  Yes we need tax reform. The rich don't pay their share. You know what else we need? Welfare reform. When you can make just over 40K a year taking advantage of federal and state assistance programs when your an able bodied adult then the system is broke. We need to make it so you have to do community work service to get a welfare check and pass a drug test. No work and not clean no free money.


Excellent analysis of the current situation with one minor addition. It is not THE WEST, which is pursuing these strategies. It is entirely the responsibiliy of the U.S. administration and it's ,military leaders. They are unwilling to compromise for the sake of their war games options. The option with a neutral, unified, demilitarized option is the only plausible one for longterm peace.  A similar agreement (without neutality though) has re-united Germany. Germany also has made it very clear, that it will not support any military operation.

The flaw of a demilitarized option for Korea is that the U.S. administration broke it's promise to Russia after German unifaction to never extend NATO beyond a unified eastern German border. Now NATO troops stand at the Russian border.

In a similar manner the Syria, Libyan, Irag, Georgia wars could have been avoided had the U.S. talked to Russia and offered them military bases in the Medittearean Sea instead of trying to strangle Russia.


Sounds like a perfectly reasonable "Stand Your Ground" shooting to me. Guns. Don't you love 'em?


The part about "I don't even ask, I just do it."


Yes, Ige and Chin and the rest of the Hawaii Mafia spend money at will, and then raise taxes to cover their spending. It's an Hawaii twist on the tax and spend method. Here they spend first and raise taxes second. The rail project comes to mind.

Bill+Byron know who I am, but they joke about what I am too ;-p   Byron first met me over breakfast when I was hanging out with Howard Urich.

I giggle bcuz u think I'm gettin free adverteasing for Hydrogen and plastic pipe  ;-)

What I'm doing is; public education, and I'm opposed to the institutionalized BS bending of the facts in corporate propaganda.

I'm not the only guy to voice my opposition to TAPS being used as a CRUDE-pipe in 1970-75. There was a few of us talking loudly in Fairbanks about why gas is a better feedstock than CRUDE, but the excuse we got was "but all our refineries run on CRUDE not gas".. that's how the deck was cut and dealt to Alaska, it didn't have much to do with scientific efficiency or common sense; "We eat our soup with a fork, that's how we been doing it for 150 years, don't try to change us now !!"

Let's hope so!


Unchecked immigration has destroyed England on oh so many levels. This is why liberals are spinning themselves stupid on this issue as they are hell bent on doing the same to America with uncheck immigration.


I suggest that Alaska include such activities as prostitution,illegal drug sales,panhandling,and boot-legging in their annual GDP numbers,just like other third world countries like Guatemala and Honduras..


I look forward to Mrs. Clinton’s speech tonight!  Bought a new bag of popcorn and a 6-pack’s chillin’ in my fridge.  Democrats and Republicans alike acknowledge Hillary is a horrid speaker.  Her voice is screechy and cracks on ‘most every other sentence.  I feel for the gal, not being so good in front of people myself.  There was a ‘Seinfeld’ episode years ago about a saxophone player who couldn’t perform at the big moment.  It was a hoot!  I’m afraid Hillary’s going to give the same performance tonight.  Gotta love the gal for her courage though.  Hopefully the critics go easy on the former first lady afterwards.  They say stage fright is an anxiety maker next to none.  I’ll be watchin’ to see how Mrs. Clinton gets through the evening!


No! I do like the fact that it will hopefully bring high quality jobs--and not just warehouse packing jobs or Ikea jobs. But 50,000 employees? That will probably increase the state population by 500,000. For every person, you have their family plus extended family. Plus you have more businesses (strip malls with Jersey Mike's and Brakes Plus stores) to support those people which requires more people moving here. And more housing built further from the city which requires more congestion and more infrastructure. How about a no growth strategy for awhile? Is that possible? Let's preserve a bit of our great state--kind of like Boulder with its limits on growth.


Corkscrew? Bottle opener? Can opener?

Seems to me these are way more used than two (SERIOUSLY?) pairs of lockable tongs.


If Secretary Clinton won the election there would have to be four special prosecutors to investigate her past dealings.


Longtime parti-Quebecois leader RENE LEVESQUE's English was better than Justin's - that's for sure. Far broader a vocabulary. And while Justin's father Pierre avoided military service in order to stay "as far away from the front" as possible during the war, Levesque spent most of his wartime days "on the front"  as a reporter for the U.S. Army's Stars and Stripes - and also for American radio stations. He wasn't a scared y-cat in the fight against Nazi Germany.
Americans liked Levesque's style and manner. And Levesque himself sounded more like a "working man" in both French and English than either Pierre Trudeau or his son Justin.


Boulder deserves it! It is a beautiful city! Growing up in Lafayette, we had minimal services (because then Lafayette was SO small) so everything we did was in Boulder. Most people who rip Boulder have never even spent much time there.


And they printed $2 notes in 1976! I still have two.
I have heard that if you tender one of these in some U.S. backwaters they will think it's a forgery!


Opportunist really? This man is so concerned and so involved I can't believe you would even say that. This is the same man who started the 'cool schools' initiatve and used his own money to help bring fans to the overheating classrooms. Just goes to show how cruel people like you can be when there are actual good citizens and representatives doing the right thing. Shame on you.


"You are maybe the kind that will not say anything if the neighbor takes over your yard."

"...the politics that Christianity requires"?
My first impulse was to suggest "resistance", standing for and with people of good will against Trump and what he represents - the movement of vitriol, revisionism, winning by diminution, exclusion and pandering. And yes there is an urgency because the consequences of Trump are immanent.
Then I think of the danger of adopting the very weapons of Trump and the trumpists. Is that not the very lesson he inadvertantly warns us of - e.g., "defeating radical Islamic fundamentalism by becoming radical disenchanted/white evangelical/anarchistic/hate-filled/god-wants-me-to-be-rich/exceptionalist USofA fundamentalists? (ps I bet there are fewer radical fundamentalist Muslims than the hard-core, radical fundamentalist USofA'ers who stand with Trump ).  Think of the anarchy that would ensue in a USofTrump.  The only solution would be Stalinism.
Then I return to the question "...the politics that Christianity requires".


But that's not a joke, John. Just old theology. ;-}


"LEAVE (So those I admire politically can continue boinking little kids with impunity and without censure)!"  There--fixed it for you.


You have to wonder about Rump supporters.


I assume police have not yet determined motive. Perhaps after today's court appearance. Hope ADN follows up.


Good article - and thanks for some rational and reasonable commentary, highlighting how bigotry and racism can feed on itself and grow.

The UK's far right leaning press has been stirring up anti Muslim feeling for years. The Daily Mail, Telegraph, Sun and others, mostly owned by the "Dirty Digger" Rupert Murdoch, are shameless in their promotion of irrationally racist and bigoted columnists.

Right now, it seems that the "little Englanders" have (barely) the upper hand in government. The Tories, lead by Thatcher wannabe May, have dumped on the poor and disadvantaged in a way not seen since the time of the workhouses. It is no coincidence that minorities in the UK are getting the same sort of treatment.


Most of all, let's stop shipping people and truck traffic since it is BC Ferries that produces the highest amount of traffic.

But put 'oil tankers' in the headline to wake up the grumpy climate alarmists.  What discussion would be complete without their haughty disdain and picayune observations?


Joe Cool doesn't strike me as an educated person, but I do believe he's just been schooled.


Your observation seems wrong.  Which commissioners exactly do you believe are liberals?


But , you sound militant smart! LOL


Your funny qball 😀


Karma / कर्मा = "action", is paid off in the next reincarnation. That's going to upset even more account  holders.


That's not true, there were plenty of people on the left that thought that was inappropriate and that teacher was put on paid leave almost immediately.  Of course your point has little to nothing to do with this story, just deflection.


Engaging in a little cross pollination here.... 50 years is a long time for a sustained hope.
I share this here, in celebration of  Sr. McCormick, a quote from Wendell Berry.
"Protest that endures, I think, is moved by a hope far more modest than that of public success: namely, the hope of preserving qualities in one’s own heart and spirit that would be destroyed by acquiescence” (What Are People For?)." and a link to the article that helped me into this Monday Morning... https://www.christiancentury.org/article/what-does-it-mean-hope

I just can't resist.   I think I found Pres Trumps previous life .. or maybe it is his next life.   I had written that so much of the time Pres Trump is just getting 'puffed up' for the media.

No, it was during the period that the airport in Atka was derated so When?air couldn't fly the Metro's and they used a Piper turbo Navajo instead. I only flew from Atka to Dutch once in their turbo Goose, on the deck, 350 ft all the way with a stop in Nikolski. It was the most terrifying flight ever for me; I still have a rectal impression from sucked up seat cushion. Two weeks afterwards, that plane disappeared over Makushin with the same pilot and one passenger. All they ever found was - a seat cushion.


Lo chiamano CL sopratutto in Italia (per ragioni ortografiche), ci ele, cosi. Pero cmq questo non era il punto. I'm also not questioning your experience. I am just saying it's not preferable to judge from afar. Anyway, I am proving my own point because comment boards are the the most superficial place ever. I am only doing this because I love what MSW wrote, found it helpful and thought it might be helpful to respond to your critique by appealing to time and a consistent relationship of engagement with a group that is clearly serious and worth engaging. Wasn't meant to be an attack!


Well, you must know more than your leader Bannon. Maybe you should start your own conservative fake news website.


Question for anybody on this post and any ETF investors , What did you do in 2008/2009 when $BMO was trading at $24-$28 all day long + 9-10% yield ?? Did you buy the stock ? Did you buy an at the money 2.5  year LEAP on $BMO ? Did you buy a stub trade on $BMO by buying $BMO at $26/share + stub the purchase with a 2.5 year at the money LEAP + collect the 9-10% yield ?


I graduated high school in North Dakota 1975, and some of my classmates, kids my age did commit suicide. I do believe it's worse now, but has always been a problem.


Taxpayer expense? That's pretty rich coming from someone who survived off the government's foster care system.

Uhh...what ever happened to breaking up? "Hey, this isn't going to work. Sorry. Bye." Avoid prison sentence. I do realize there's likely more to the case, but I doubt finding out more will make things "make sense."


He's primarily political.    What he chooses to do and not do is based on political calculus.

He salts his agenda and photo ops with just the right mix of talk about "openness" and "the evils of rigidity" with head nods to Our Lady, St Joseph, the Rosary, and even the Latin Mass, just not this week.  And even satan now and then.

Keeping things in balanced.  I bet there's a spreadsheet updated daily.


That's what happens when you only promise  beautiful, great and fabulous health care coverage for everybody and leave the details after the election. And, after having 7 years to develop a sensitive, improved alternative you come up with a fast food approach as if you were cooking a big mac.


Only in a nightmare world through the looking glass could this person be considered any kind of leader, much less a "good" president.


Sher:  You really don't get it, do you?  Yes, if you have $10 million, you are, de facto, in the 1%.  But if you have a family income of $220,000 (and are therefore in the 1%), you will never have $10 million.  Think about it, please!


Wrong reaction - Denise is better than that ... and indeed, the real issue is that it is too bad for the planet that Denise was not alive in earlier times, when she could have enlightened the entire world with her superior views, and prevented all of us (of certain superficial characteristics) from being responsible for these obvious mistakes of hundreds of years ago that she would have prevented.

Similarly, it is tragic that Denise was not, is not, British/Canadian/Aussie/etc.  royalty, as she would clearly do a much better job at it than the guilty parties presently installed as representing the idea of authority over the government of the day in certain and very limited situations, as a (figurative or not, depending on whether your last name might be "Whitlam") potential check upon the government of the day.

I think we should just appoint her Arbitrator of All that is Right and True ... and the rest of us can snooze comfortably.


Trump is draining the swamp...and putting every filthy bottom dweller into power...

All the problems in this article could be fixed by providing a pathway to documentation for illegal immigrants. Each immigrant worker is also another consumer in the market and they not really affecting the unemployment rate one way or another. A path to documentation would allow immigrants to purchase real Healthcare, contribute equal taxes, and to log any criminal activity, and most immigrants would be just fine with that, because most of them are not criminals. My experience with undocumented immigrants is that there's a lot of mowing lawns, painting houses, Roofing houses, coming home each night to Children and Families, and quite often going to church every Sunday. There are scary groups of troublemakers in every demographic. Let's start embracing our brothers and sisters.


You apparently didn't read the mayor's statement.  It might help if you start with that.


I think the Orcas are saying among themselves, "Look at those idiot humans - too funny !"


You have not read your islamic history then.  For the last 1400 years or so muslims have been engaged in a conquest of the world.  The islamic empire that exists today, from Morocco to Pakistan is a testament to that long jihad.  Today they are attempting to finish that jihad which stalled after, ironically, islam itself suffocated the expansion utterly by the 18th century, having got no further booty to pay for it, and having crushed all resources that would produce prosperity and progress.


The seats were paid for in the offseason, so it won't impact ticket revenue if we go. It also won't impact ticket revenue if we sell them.

Empty seats do send a message though. No shows are announced in every game. Every empty seat is also lost revenue for food/drink/gear/parking/downtown restaurants/etc.

It's a small protest to be sure but not sure what would have had more impact. Selling the seats to someone else wouldn't make a difference. We considered selling them to Raiders's fans but my dad said that was crossing a line he wasn't prepared for.


I was also there to witness this arrogant,self centered,holier than thou attitude of our elected officials and their appointees.It's all a game for them,the unions,and the special interest groups.I was there on 8/28,and it was the most disgusting scene I'ver ever witnessed,the unions and special interest groups were out on Beretania all organized with two pop up tents,food,drink,t-shirts,shiny signs,DJ playing loud music,huge trucks circling the capitol honking their horns.I was the only non-union person with a very small sign protesting this special session.I had union people shove their signs in my face and laugh at me.I witnessed a legislature go to the tent, shake hands with the union/special interest group to accept a snack and a t-shirt while the hearing was going on.I went into the chambers,and it was just as disgusting,the same old, blah,blah,and grand standing.Those that grand stranded the most still voted in favor of the tax hike. The People didn't show up,they only complain!


SR witnessed to a life of service but exhuming his body & expenditure of energy and money hardly honors his spirit.  What edifice to serve the poor would benefit from this waste of energy and money?  What if all the hierarchs & faithful did a day of service in OK City that would benefit the marginalized?  You can be sure there will be a sumptuous banquet to follow this falderal.
Macabre to leave a person's heart in one place and body parts in other places; unfortunately, this has been a RCC tradition, especially in the days when relics were something to steal for, and the illiterate were to be bedazzled by a body part. Hearts, eyes, arms, etc. as body parts were highly venerated; why not penises?  Only in the RCC the fetish for body parts?
Meanwhile, in Baltimore, another priest was exhumed to determine if he were the murderer of Sr. Cathy. Exhuming in this instance is helpful to find out the possible murderer. Archdiocese of Baltimore has exhalation at this exhumation, for now!


Wrong foundation! Read more carefully...


Again, McLeod, everyone on the planet now knows that you hate Walker. You never have anything worth reading to post, it's just more of the same. You and Art Chance should get together and have a contest; see who can post the most negative comments about our governor and Democrats. And then try to figure out if there is anyone that takes either of you seriously. Good luck with that one.


Copying or attempting to mimic other people's accounts should be grounds for banning.


Absolutely!


Sturgeon will ask for another referendum, which her overwhelming win in Scotland will give her moral authority for. Northern Ireland also will have a referendum to separate. And that is the end of the UK. It will be UKEW (United Kingdom of England and Wales) or DK (Disunited Kingdom) in the future.


Is somebody in the legislature suddenly crapping millions of dollars?


Huge red flag: Is Woody prejudiced for some reason against Vernon Adams? His stats VERY favorably compared to Marcus M's, when he was healthy. Woody isn't making a mistake here, he is deliberate--- and it leaves one to wonder what VA represents that he didn't like. It certainly wasn't the results!
Jacob Breeland is a "star?" C'mon, Ken. Putting a kid who hasn't yet had a game snap on that pedestal is crazy.
As far as the prognostication about the team, I'd say that might be accurate. W/out a true dual-threat QB, defenses can just hammer the option back and dare Herbert to run. He can't, unless he's going to cut his season short and plunge the program truly into the muck.
Depending on the opposition's strengths in the PAC-12, this could be a pretty poor season. I don't see the D as radically improving, but it should be somewhat better if only for a better attitude. If Tyee and Amadi improve, if Brady Breeze is a quality player, if several big guys on the D-line deliver...

Your post is hilarious for 3 reasons:
1)   Insurance is not the same thing as healthcare.

2)  There are no economic reports out there saying your premiums will increase at all- let alone by 10s of thousands of dollars-  if Obama care is repealed.

3)  Government intrusion mandating insurance companies cover certain people, no matter what the condition, and no matter what the pre-existing condition, drives insurance policies up for everybody.  That's called "Adverse Selection," and that's Economics 101.


That's what some of you numnuts don't get. SB21 was created by Sean and his Masters because...they knew the downturn was coming! Okay? It didn't come as a surprise bump in the night. It wasn't an Oh! No! event! They were positioning themselves for what they knew was going to happen. If you can't run with the Big Dogs, then stay home and pee with the puppies...


Yeah, but they were kommies, so it was all good...


I assume you didn't run this comment by your lawyer?  (:

A more probable ROI in the RRIF would make the CPP delay look less compelling.
Here's my strategy:
1) My wife and I take CPP at 60 - we retired in our 50s - we get 10 years of CPP to invest / spend instead of other investment income.
2) Invest the CPP money (or invest the unspent savings income, however you want to look at it)
- max out our TFSAs, with the rest in a standard investment account.
- using this strategy, based on a 6% return, I calculate a net worth benefit until well into our mid-80's.
- after that, net worth is negatively impacted, but not dramatically
3) Use the TFSAs as supplemental medical and long term care funds, if needed
- do not buy supplemental medical insurance or long term care insurance - a further net worth improvement, if the funds are not required
4) With the first death, the surviving spouse's CPP will increase, restoring the CPP reduction caused by taking it early - a little life insurance for the surviving spouse


You seem to forget the 1990 election when your hero Wally Hickel lost the Republican nomination and  moved over to the Alaska Independence Party, The AIP candidates vacated and Wally rewarded them with state jobs. But it's OK when Republicans do it--right dick?


I think the council and public is also entitled to know who among WE CAN's active member have a direct financial interest in code changes like SW-SAZ.

I know of at least three Rick Duncan, Merle Weiner and Dennis Cassidy. The latter two have been vocal supporters of SW-SAZ. Do they vote on WE CAN's "positions"?

When the Navy gave Barbers Point to the state, it was a prime opportunity to do something for the homeless.  There were buildings for organizations that help with clothing, food, medical etc.... there were also buildings that could have been used as apartments and homes for families.  Education and training classes could have been set up.
Now..... a lot of the buildings are in ruins, left to rot.  The state had to have it though, just to see it rot and be of no use.
Oahu had an opportunity that could have helped greatly in the homeless issue.  I guess our government couldn't find  a way to line their pockets with helping the homeless, so they did nothing and let the place go to hell.


It is both a sanctuary city and not a sanctuary city depending on if the cat in the box is alive or dead.

You're correct, it used to be a plurality, only recently has that shifted to "Independent." I hadn't seen those numbers in a while. Although registered Dems still outnumber registered Repubs about 4 to 1.

If I'm camping and Im alerted that my camp fire has burning ambers, and I fail to put it out am i free me of any responablity if the forest burns down. Acountabilty. Regardless Parnell's duties included to protect those members of our National Guard, which he failed to do. His inaction lead to more member of the Guard to be victims. Thats a fact that has been proven.

Oh boy, what does anyone think a member of the Broadbent Institute would say. Their  entire premise is take from those who work hard and give to those that either choose not to work (and yes, there are many that choose not to work as they get free money, benefits, and no responsibility). The other fun one is to try and equal out incomes for those who don't work as hard, or take risks with those who bust their butts to get ahead.  This country is going to hell, and I'm glad I've only got 30 or so more years to keep paying huge sums of money to the thieves in Ottawa to give out to the largest next lobby group. It is insane to pound success as if it's a sin, or comes easily. Without people like me, this country won't have any taxes to steal.


THEB, and a few of the commenters, see life through glasses of their own construction. THEB has an excuse, it works for their business, but it is just as untruthful, as you've pointed out. The few commenters, two of whom likely the same person (I suspect you know the two I mean, so I don't need to mention who - it would be un-"civil"), filter out the truth in other's comments and put forward their own hate-filled agenda as if responding point-by-point.
Often, it is difficult figuring out what they are saying in their rambling.
Keep up the good work of truth in discernment. It wins out in the end.
And, it's good to see occasionally for the time being.


Maybe you will need an additional scope !


Liu Xiaobo is too famous. If he was able to travel abroad his bad treatment in a Chinese jail would be a black eye for the Chinese government. He can and will speak out against China. Therefore he will not be able to leave China. As well, in China he will have limited mobility, sort of like house arrest. Anyone visiting him will be vetted. Reporters of any stripes will be barred from seeing him. China likes to keep their political dissidents quiet.


Good news.  The pressurized cabin at altitude and the design of the door make opening the door at altitude impossible.  An alternate strategy might have been to let him exhaust himself trying to open the door and THEN restrain him.


I hope women everywhere read this comments section to figure out what the left thinks of beautiful, successful, ladies..


I see that Mayor's Spokesperson Jesse Broder Van Dyke is no longer the front for the Mayor Kirk Caldwell.

It's now the campaign spokesperson Glenna Wong who doing the damage control for Kirk Caldwell.  Playing the "women" card is pathetic. There are countless women who have very low opinion of Mayor Caldwell's disjointed leadership and bad behavior at City Hall.

Retaliating against the honorable Ethics Commission Director Charles Totto is only one of many Caldwell's shenanigans at City Hall. Caldwell has done enough damage at Honolulu Hale. Don't vote for him.

Usually bad guys in Mountain View or Fairview are flushed out quickly, in an hour or two.  But Hillside, that's a different story.  To flush a Hillsider out of their house takes the entire APD and FBI days to do the job.  It usually ends when the Hillsider runs out of food and starts starving.  So, this will be over in another 10 days to 2 weeks.  Thanks CEA and Carlos Tree Service for diverting our entire police force to one house for the next two weeks.


This verse does not talk about nationalism at all but is telling people who were upset because they were being forced to pay taxes to a corrupt government....a government put in place by God for his own purposes. This verse has nothing to do with swearing allegiance to a country or a flag.


Depp is the hero of the crazy TDS afflicted left.


How do they expect to get a decent crop with a set-up like that? The plants are spaced too widely and the lights are too far from the plant canopy. The lights look too low-intensity too. The only good practice I saw was lots of oscillating fans circulating air. Turn me loose in there and I could double their production overnight -- no harsh chemicals needed, no added expense except, maybe, better lights and more electricity. Doubling the crop would also require doubling the harvest crew. Or, as an alternative, halfing the space and overhead and the fixed and variable costs thereof while keeping the same production.


Trump is a rich New Yorker and Hillary is a rich, crooked, liberal, leftist, lying,New Yorker.

I suspect Alaska will vote for the honest rich New Yorker.


My kids just found out from one of their aunts that they are ungrateful & spoiled and that she's not giving them anything more.  It was a surprise to all of us.  They always say thank you in person to the one giving them a gift or a phone call if in person isn't an option.  However apparently they were always supposed to write a letter or "at least a card with more than a single sentence".  We're talking about gift cards for less than $50 and they're supposed to write thank you letters for each!  We're all glad she's stopped giving gifts - now if we can just get most of the rest of the extended family to follow suite.   Personally I think there is too much gift giving going on nowadays and it just causes more entitlement, resentment & pressure with very little of the wonder, excitement and true appreciation that gifts used to have.


Denver already does a crap job running section 8. So much so that landlords that accept Section 8 for other counties don't want to deal with "Denver" Section 8. They have a high employee turner over, poor training, terrible organizational skills, terrible people skills, and no service skills. Maybe this program sounds great but it is doomed to fail and waste new if they have the same group of folks running it.


$200,000,000 billion! Now where did you dream up that number? Fox News does not even try that hard to discredit the Clintons.

It was another kick the can down the road measure that didn't provide real security for DACA recipients or remove their political pawn status.

Proponents of DACA do no real good for the people they claim to want to help by throwing a fit and dashing in front of cameras to pontificate on how evil their opponents are when bandaid solutions are scrapped. DACA was always a temporary stopgap, ready to be ripped away overnight by a judge, yet you'd think it was a miracle cure that guaranteed happily ever after with all the outrage at winding it down and demanding Congress do their job to find a permanent solution.

Put effort into a serious and permanent bipartisan fix instead of pretending a 3 year delay in ending DACA is the best law ever.

Since this anti-Trump agenda is being pushed everywhere is doesn't matter where anyone lives.  Homer is not the only city that the anti-Trump people are working in.  They have an interesting guidebook, maybe I should say playbook?   KK is right, it is about making people feel better.  The original was meant to be divisive, why else would it get posted in a community FB group and labeled as a sanctuary city resolution (when it did not say that)?  This FB group was for community announcements-events, lost dogs, etc.  I'd never seen any council business posted on it prior to this.  It was totally a move to gain attention and division.  Had this not been posted in this group the resolution probably would have just slipped through, although hopefully revised to take out the intolerant remarks in the original.  But that would not have gained the poster national attention, no triumphant music and spotlights for him.


No, what he is saying is that common courtesy and social decency is basically gone
now...yes, welcome to Trumplandia!


Nope. In the Heller case, they just re-affirmed that gun laws are constitutional, while striking down a gun law, of course.

Now, where have they struck down cases involving word counts?


Yes, the municipalities expect help from the state.   Revenue sharing is a sane and reasoned policy.

Nowhere did I ever say municipalities do not rely on or deserve that revenue.

But, look up some info if you're interested.

Check how little revenue sharing they get now compared to before we started paying out all our revenue in corporate welfare.

Municipal revenue sharing has been drastically cut in order to help fund corporate profits.

Municipal revenue sharing was much higher before and we had a better quality of life because of it.

And the municipalities weren't after you to tax your property more or formulate some sales tax increase or fees for services schemes.

You got a share of the revenue that was due.   Now you don't.

Now you're propping up the profits of the corporations.

You're amazingly generous, too bad that generosity isn't used to help people in need,  instead it's going to the most profitable corporations in the world.

Something isn't right about that, eh?


A constitution in which the citizens of a country get to decide what changes may or may not be made - in Canada all that is required is for the premiers and the government of the day to make that decision - that is not democracy but it is what we have here.


A "rate change" means a rate cut by Poloz. Why try to mask the meaning? And a rate cut means an even lower loonie. And that means Canadians lose even more of their purchasing power.
So expect a cut in pay, because that's what it amounts to. It will especially hurt pensioners and other people on fixed incomes.


She's losing anyway.  Just trying to do as much damage on her way out as possible.

This insurgent or terrorist is definitely following in the footsteps of that prophet. Muhammad was first and foremost a revolutionary, a fiery religious guerrilla leader who created and led the first genuine national insurgency in antiquity that is comprehensible in modern terms, a fact not lost on the jihadis of the present day, who often cite the Koran and Muhammad’s use of violence as justification for their own insurgencies.


The only white guy that I despise is the Chump. He is sick, vile and disgusting. He is dividing our country. My comments are merely pointing out the fact that a white male opened fire on an audience at a country western music concert. In all of the news reports that I have watched. I haven't seen a Black,Muslim, or Asian. Only Whites and Latinos. Thos why do you think the gunman chose that specific event to accomplish his unimaginable massacre.


This is one of those opinions you should keep to yourself.

"Do you ever think you would see a headline like that had Obama said the same thing?"

Uh, Obama wasn't a mentally defective compulsive liar with an out of control ego.


A lot of veterans support the President.  Just because he is his son means nothing.  My father was a vet and I have no idea how he would see President Trump.  I have a feeling how he may have viewed him, but I sure wouldn't speak on his behalf.


"The agreement itself contains very few direct requirements, allowing nations to interpret the terms independently and work toward various ill-defined goals. This problem led James Henson, the “father of global awareness of climate change” and an ex-NASA scientist, to condemn the agreement as a fraud. It lacks any enforcement mechanism, instead relying on nations voluntarily to reduce emissions."
----
Without an "enforcement mechanism" the Paris Climate Accord has exactly the same fallacy as the League of Nations - it only looks good.
But we all know that the League of Nations fell apart because there was no enforcement mechanism.


No respect for grammar and proper sentence structure.


They're not going to make the Governor veto it, they're capping it at $1,000.  They are also not allowing us the money that he vetoed last year, breaking AS 43.23.025 & .045 in appropriations.  The Coalition is the key to his accomplishing his goals to build the pipedream.
