First, Donald Trump is 70 years old and has already shown many years ago that he has no desire to join the military.  The MPDS you describe would, indeed, be very disruptive to the military.  However, the President doesn't have to function on the battlefield, he has the authority to send others to do that.  You seem to suggest that, perhaps, he's unfit to be President....OMG, whatever gave you that idea!!!!  Yes, I know, you've looked at his personal, business, showbiz and political history; you've watched the videos of his campaign appearances and his debate performances and you've witnessed his actions and comments since being elected....and, you've concluded he has MPDS. I think you're wrong.  Mr. Trump has only one persona....IMO, a very disgusting, disturbed one persona.  In my layman's opinion the man is a "full blown" sociopath and a danger to our nation as President.  As always, I invite anyone to look at the definition and at Mr. Trump and form their own opinion..

What does your crystal ball tell you about how closing charity shelters and not feeding the destitute will help you personally, or help Anchorage Richard? Wishful thinking or is this  data-based, verifiable  comment?


You may be sadly right...but I'm betting all those young people who voted for them are not stupid and will try alternatives.


or petard..............very clever comment.............

The Catholic Church does not reject those who identify as homosexual. The Church condemns the sin, not the sinner as the Church recognises that we are all sinners. It would not be showing love to those with a strong temptation to steal or to commit violence against persons, if the Church affirmed such people in their sins. In fact it would be a grievous dereliction of its duty and a grave injustice if the Church were to do so. In such cases it is actually really loving to explain to people how and why their conduct is offensive to God and to show them that with God's grace it is possible to live a life in accordance with the commandments and thus pleasing to God.

We are all called to obey the commandments. All. They are meant for our happiness after all. It would certainly NOT be showing love to those who identify as homosexual to affirm their sexual behaviour as in the guise of a false 'mercy' one would in fact be consigning them to pain and misery now and possibly for eternity.


Will overpaid state employees get a bonus if this passes?


Canada has, or had, a relatively few publicly celebrated, culturally traditional norms attached to western religious beliefs.  But we are quickly losing these touchstones because we are also quickly becoming a minority in Canada.  Many of us do want our familiar country back...but the reality is that we cannot afford to have more than 1 or 2 children.  This lack of affordability for offspring is the issue we never seem to have time for...nor do we have the will and support of our governments for adequate and affordable childcare, or decent wage jobs.  Many of us are being deprived of grandchildren for this reason.


The Hillary is on her non-stop "Victimhood Tour: 2017/2018/2019/2020/2021".


Trudeau's Liberals have deluded themselves, and Canadians, since the beginning of this process.  This is where we see how totally incompetent our trade negotiators really are.  No deal is better than a bad deal.......until there is a more reasonable, cooperative and globally realistic US administration is in office.  This situation will finally teach Canadian governments to be more strategic and less dependent on the USA.  Canada.....time to really stand on our own two feet globally.


That's because the antifa movement is not just about racism. It's about anti-capitalism, and the entire movement was born from the German Communist Party's inability to eliminate the more moderate social democrats. So I can entirely understand Jonah's viewpoint. Why should he, as an American Jewish man, allow the antifa to speak for him? He spoke for himself, rightly so.


Debi- we received our full PFD and it was in accordance with the State Constitution.  Perhaps not what you felt was owed to you, but more than what I feel should have been paid.

There is a much better purpose for the earnings of the Permanent Fund than distributing the monies via a PFD as though the State can still afford to do so.  It is time for the PFD program to change or end, and for Permanent Fund earnings to be utilized for the purpose the Permanent Fund was established.


The persons from Department of Human Services, who placed Peter Boy back with his parents obviously did not make follow up visits to determine if the abuse in the past was continuing.  If this case had gone to trial the public would have found out what horrendous pain and abuse he suffered at the hands of his father.  There should be an exception in the law and the monster should be put through a tortuous death as this poor child suffered. Getting back to the DHS workers who placed Peter Boy back with the monster and did not do there job, they should be prosecuted for manslaughter.  With all the information that they had at the time, there was no justification to place Peter boy back with the monster.  Their actions, by placing Peter Boy back in harms way, caused his death.


Still baptizing infants?  Committing a person to an obligation they have no voice in.
"The Christian community welcomes you with great joy..."
but part of the ritual is the denunciation of Satan and all his pomps!
No reason why child can't be brought up in a Christian without baptism.
Should be adult choice.
Growing up in a democracy doesn't commit one to a particular party.
How RCs gloss over the unpalatable of its ritual.
Or maybe this couple believes in Satan and all his pomps?
Then this infant will be growing up in a household that affirms the devil.
Sancta excreta!


One legitimate use of taxpayer dollars is to equip the military.

The military sends troops into harms way when deemed to be in the national interest.

Explain how paying more tax will negate all future need for military action.

More power to you, Genie. She's probably a lot more successful (in a business/life sense) than most of her competitors. If tennis doesn't work out, she has to make all the money she can while she's young and getting endorsements.

Robert E Lee turned on his forefathers and fought in a terrorist war to destroy the United States of America.  His memory deserves to be spit on by every patriotic American.

The biggest threat to multiculturalism comes from within multiculturalism itself. For a multicultural society to be sustainable, its participants must hold the integrity of multiculturalism together. But as we all know, some cultures aren't interested in participating in a mutually beneficial way. Australia is trying its best to screen out such cultures so that its vibrant multiculturalism isn't threatened.


"Reducing our ridiculously high incarceration rates for our state."

About .91% of Americans are incarcerated in state facilities. In Alaska, it's about .58%.


I'm not surprised. After reading all of your arrogance, despite your lifelong employment and being in your old age, you are also very ignorant. Congratulations on being "superior". Proves that money can't buy class either.


Maybe pick a better fake english name, eh?


Canada needs to develop its secondary cities. Pricing ordinary people out of the market in the big 3 cities seems to have done well for cities like Kelowna and Hamilton and will continue to do so for others near Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. As population increases, necessarily the competition gets more intense or the field of competition expands. Canada has a lot of room to expand into, and it shouldn't be the green-belts of the 3 big ones, but rather 2ndary cities should develop their own centres and create more housing opportunities there. Long range commuting in the age of the internet seems insane. Let the big 3 get too expensive and let others move to other cities. Businesses will work it out once they realise they can't locate their labour in TO and base head-offices in smaller regional centres.


"...has no been enthroned in  place of Scripture, doctrine (Church Councils)...."

Has not been enthroned -- like someone's opinion.


Russia's military has only been successful successful against weak and helpless adversary, ever. They only know how to bomb and roll in concrete, not how to fight. Chechnya - 1 mln population bombed into dust; Georgia 5 mln population defeated with iron fist. Syria bombed into dust. Finland 1940, 5 mln population against Russia 's 300 gave it a lot of casualties and made it pull back in its lair. Ukraine, with totally destroyed military and only civilian patriots stopped them. Listen more to putin's lies and fear his imaginary or inflated (literary) armies - and maybe he'll be gentle and civil and wouldn't come for you?


Homer and NITRO08 disagreed with my comment because they found it difficult to understand.  They need to put on their dunce caps and go stand in the corner, and take Klastri with them.

Best proof there is!


It feels strange that in one country, Canada, it is harder to build in interest of all of Canada than in say US - a foreign country after all.
Maybe Notley is right - maybe we are not really a unified country but bunch of fiefdoms. Maybe  its time to disband this "federal government" that is impotent and save ourselves some tax $$$.

Alternatively if fiefdom it is lets make sure all that port traffic from Vancouver goes around Alberta and rest of central Canada. Two can play that game.


Please keep believing that.  And more importantly please tell that to both your friends.  You should feel that so strongly that you stay away.  Cheers!


Sheema
Yes I know the drill.
Canadian society is not accepting and respectful of certains groups.
We should investigate why Canada is such a terrible country.
We should all be ashamed.
We apologise.

Why lock in for such a short time?
I just bet a mortgage broker can set you up with this rate, or lower, in a variable rate mortgage with easy lock-in privileges in case rates climb. For the past 15 years it's been a great opportunity to pay down the mortgage faster: set your payments like you're on a fixed-rate bank mortgage, but actually take out a variable-rate mortgage from a less-advertised provider. We used FirstLine, which was just store-brand CIBC, for years until they wrapped it up. But there are plenty of others.


Wendy Mannan:  in reply to your comment:  First, as the Court just stated to you, Walker did not 'steal' (as you put it) a thing.  He did what he was lawfully entitled to do.  Secondly, your comment would have had more weight had the Gov., and other politicians spent that money 'BEFORE' this case was resolved.  he correct and the 'right' thing for Walker to do was to wait and sit on that money until this case was resolved.  Had he spent it and then if the case had gone against him, THEN and only then would your argument and statement that he had stolen something would perhaps have borne some fruit.  Next time, please think about what you say before issuing a word in opposition (i.e. stole) that is nothing more than an opinion and in this case, one that is incorrect.


For 'nothingburger', this sure is something.

Seniority grants you better positions (even ranking membership and chairmanships) in committees, which gives the Rep the ability to greatly influence legislation. Example: Ted Stevens (R-AK) was chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee from 97-05 which allowed him to direct an obscene amount of federal projects to Alaska.

Perlmutter, if he is able to keep his seat and rise to chairman of his committee (Space, Energy, and Environment), he will be a position to greatly support NREL and the blossoming Aerospace Industry in Colorado.

In other words, if you are going to have a congressperson from a party you don't support, you would still like them to have Seniority to influence and protect interests vital to your region.


Funny how liberals who didn't take math and science somehow hate math and love "science"

Bad news: CIA is watching, recording, filing everything about every one.

Worse news: "...the CIA had “recently” lost control of a massive arsenal of CIA hacking tools..."
Uh-oh.

It can't get any worse than that.  Oh, wait--yes it can.  Now everybody knows it.

How long before the world reads a Presidential tweet that goes something like, "Wikileaks--BAD!  Fake news!  Am taking action on this right now!  Watch for BIG NEWS on National Security!"


Great article, but the premise is total B.S.!

We already have hate and discrimination laws in Canada!

islamophobia is a term that was invented in the 1990's by the muslim brotherhood to shut down all criticism of islam!

M103 is a national disgrace and a travesty being forced on Canadian's!


Boo hoo hoo! People like you who think their money can deprive the real residents from beach access deserve every four letter word. Don't like it? Then take your money and leave!


Declaring the Mockingbird to be literally dead is just as disingenuous.

"Having liberated the American mind from the tyranny of facts, we now seek to liberate it from the bother of contending with difficult words or ideas."

You did get that part? The Party of Trump and his tyranny of facts, aka, "alternative facts"?

In the mean time, Rome continues to burn and some Mississippi school keeps children from reading the N word and some (Party of Trump) want to infringe on the rights of some NFL players from "poking" Lady Liberty.

The Steele Dossier is not dead either, even though Trump and his comrades wish it was.


So...is Edward Snowden good or bad? Wikileaks? Assange?

This is quite a conundrum for the Kremlin's fifth column.


Tax evasion?  Unreported income?


"This is a tragedy that has many fathers. But spineless politicians deserve much of the blame for a mess"

More like Spineless journalists and media terrified of telling the truth. Politicians come and go every couple of years but journalists and media like the CBC have been here for decades and to this day never mention the main cause of the Vancouver housing bubble: massive offshore money laundering, tax evasion and fraud. Up until 6 months ago, the CBC only interviewed Bob Rennie , the Vancouver 'condo king ' for any perspective on Vancouver housing. Total deliberate obfuscation by media to support Government inaction.


Hyper-expensive? My used Leaf cost 18,000 (CAD). Sounds quite reasonable to me.


I think you meant to write "What a Catholic statement!" since it is hardly outlandish.

https://www.ncronline.org/news/global/australian-priest-advocate-womens-ordination-excommunicated

The relevant Canons are  751, 1367, and 1369.

http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/_P2H.HTM

751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.

http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/_P52.HTM

Can. 1369 A person who in a public show or speech, in published writing, or in other uses of the instruments of social communication utters blasphemy, gravely injures good morals, expresses insults, or excites hatred or contempt against religion or the Church is to be punished with a just penalty.

Good Pope Francis.

1367 is there.


I just don't get what people are frightened of with marijuana 'bars'. Our entire society condones drinking. We have ads for every kind of encouragement to go to such and such bar for an (fill in the blank) Alaskan experience here. We will tear up, again, during the Super Bowl ad with a puppy and friggin' horses (and have another Bud). Everyone is high fives with frying the liver but gawd help you if you want to enjoy marijuana in a convivial social way.


Who are you to tell us what to do or not to do.
You must be Liberal. Stifling dissent at every turn because it doesn't measure up to your advanced thinking???
Self righteous much?
We just want to be deplorable for a bit
OK?


You just proved your own ign0rance, when you conflate the "deficit" with the "debt".  President Obama CUT the deficit.  Trump will do the opposite.  The deficit will go up and the debt will grow at an even more rapid pace.


I love how he makes it out like liberals are the name callers that can compromise, then proceeds to basically just dress down liberals.

Conservatives/Republicans/Indys/Whatever name you obfuscate behind now/ talk to you like they are an abusive parent. Explaining why you should not hit someone while actively spanking the kid.

You want to know what would help you understand the modern liberal? Talking to one, instead of listening to what rush and hannity tell you about "the enemy" that the right wing has been constructing and calling it the left wing.

Notice there are not a lot of letters by liberals decrying how badly they are being treated?

Notice most importantly how a republican/conservative came here to call names and complain about how all those liberals are calling names and complaining?

Also you examples of wealth, DON'T EXIST ANYMORE.

Red States lead in teenage pregnancy, your last care payment was almost 20 years before I was born, please keep telling me how it is today.


Stop complaining everyone. You voted these guys into office.
You get what you deserve.


"Middle finger to Western Canada"?

You DO realize that Senators must be appointed for those regions where the Senate vacancy exists?     That's a Constitutional requirement.  These fill the Ontario vacancies.    Any Western Senate vacancies will be filled with Westerners.

Good luck to him he will join MJ,Valarie Briscoe Hooks,Kathy Freeman.


NCR said, "Churches shouldn't be influenced by money." I think it's reasonably obvious they meant that churches shouldn't sell themselves to political organizations, because their (professed) purpose is the good of all humanity, not just of a specific political faction.

Newspapers make no such claim. Newspapers like NCR are unambiguously in the business of disseminating news and opinion from a specific point of view.


The reason why they hire so many "temp" workers is because the outrageous cost of these gold plated benefits packages for permanent employees makes it impossible to do so. PERS needs to be scaled back retroactively by 40%, with a non-union friendly Supreme Court we may be able to make this happen.


Good letter Mr. Gay. Thank you.

Our legislature is composed of banal little people that do not represent the voters that elected them into office. They represent the industries and special interests that finance their election campaigns.


That seems right to me.  I think resistance will be vocal but token.


"Reopening a criminal investigation should be based on newly discovered evidence, not a political whim," said Gurule, who worked in past Republican administrations. Discovering the outcome was pre-determined would seem to qualify as new evidence.


Well of course it has nothing to do with the fact it’s just not very good pizza, in the first place, now does it?


Once more. What do we owe Mexico? Why do people keep saying that we need to protect Mexico? What have Mexico done for us that we must bend backward to protect that country that exports to us narcotics and illegal immigrants? Please explain.


The Liberal Party of Canada allows voter fraud by not checking voter id.


The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation does not regulate nuclear energy. That is a federal responsiblity and has nothing to do with Hanford which is in Washington State.


I don't know this from legal perspective, I only know that Quebec has a vaccine injury compensation program, which compensates the injured, but separately from the usual legal way - in Ontario, we would need to sue the government and the vaccine manufacturer.  In the States, the injured present their injuries, the vaccine manufacturers deny any responsibility and then they settle outside the court.  For a very small money for some dramatic injuries, which is sad.  Quebec is similar.  The rest of Canada, well, good luck!!


Funny for a right wing channel.


Here is a tip Nathaniel, (or do you prefer Nate or Nat)?: The Senate will not budge on the income tax and rightly so under the Alaska Constitution. The House will go down fighting over the income tax - they already inserted  a "poison pill" into their bill so you pretty much know they are committed. In the end, the dividend will be $1250, there will be no income tax, and the PF Earnings and the CBR will be tapped to the max again. There may be a compromise bill on oil taxation that reforms the parts everyone agrees need to be adjusted.


Pardon?


No. The Swamp is under assault, and it's fighting back like crazy, with every crooked trick and media manipulation it can find.

Honestly, right now I prefer Donald to Clapper/Clinton/Comey.


So bizarre that there are so many Americans who will go out of their way to protect those who have violated our immigration laws.
Liberals are basically traitors IMO.


wouldn't you want these in any kitchen?


Canadian whiskey


I'm constantly amazed that people don't understand the benefits of our publicly funded health care and pension systems have for private business.
As in less demand for employers to provide the same benefits out of their pockets.
Plus the whole thing is managed and back stopped by someone other than the employer.
Then there's EI to support seasonal businesses find workers who can afford to take a McJob.


Sorry BillyBass, but your understanding of the subject is "fishy".

Things that get you on NCIS list of "Cannot Possess a Firearm".

Ever Renounced your Citizenship.
Unlawful user of or addicted to alcohol or drugs, including marijuana.

Dishonorable discharge - Gee......didn't that apply to this last guy, too?
Fugitive from Justice.

Tulsi has proven she has integrity by backing Sanders, her character in standing against the military's lack of concern for veterans is impeccable. She has substance. Mazie Hirono is a puppet for the oligarch. Hawaii needs a progressive woman senator. Mazie's days of supporting colonialism are over.


He needs to resign.

Weapons of Mass Deception and the illegal Iraq war the media supported and never questioned.

No backlash? Just wait until next elections, boot the incumbents... All of them I say! As far as pfd vs income tax... At least with an income tax it's deductible on your federal income tax, where as taking the pfd is not... Aside from less taxable income.


This sort of puerile acting out does not reflect well on my gender.


I think the community or city should set a low, low percentage of households per area that are allowed permits for this use and that violators be harshly penalized. Penalties and registration fees should pay for adequate enforcement personnel.

Some additional problems:
1. short term renters pay more, driving out Hawaii residents who become homeless.
2. most home mortgages do not allow renting short term and landlords are in violation of their mortgages.
3. most home insurance does not cover short term rental.
4. short term rentals are not required to be wheel chair accessible. Anyone renting out more than 90 days a year should be required to upgrade.
5. real estate taxes should be 2-3 times higher for landlords who are making a business of vacation rentals. Vacationers increase use of roads, police services, beach parks, etc and this justifies the higher tax.


Diversify or die. The USA will always be important to us, but we have agreements with the EU and several other countries--TPP is a good idea to proceed on. China--scary partner but worth a try- India too,  but a bureaucratic nightmare.  Inter-provincial free trade a must first !!


"Money burns a hole in my pocket"


The system we have is deeply rooted in logic and reason. The citizens of  California, with their 51 House members wields significantly more power in the general government than the citizens of Wyoming, with their single member, does.  The State of California and the State of Wyoming, being equally independent and sovereign States in their own right, are represented equally in the Senate.  Did you forget your civics, never learn this fact or are you yet again attempting to ignore reality when fabricating your arguments?  Colorado is no different from France, or Great Britain in its existence as an independent and sovereign entity, read the final paragraph of our founding document (Declaration of Independence) if you are confused about this fact.  Is France's existence as a State antiquated?  Does its membership in the EU alter its existence as an independent and sovereign State?  Of course not, and the same is true for the 50 States in our Union.


"...murdered in cold blood simply because of their faith."

The most important words in your comment, Sunshine: "Just maybe..."

Because you don't know that.  I don't know that. At least, not until we have a clear motive from the shooter.  And until the suspect is found guilty in a court of law, we don't even have a known "shooter."

Maybe the guy really hated his father.  Maybe he was flunking out at Laval.  Maybe he couldn't connect with girls (or other guys)  Who knows what the motive was?

Your comment is an "assumption," along the lines of what a lot of posters believed was the police department's nefarious plot to keep us all in the dark, when they didn't give us "the facts" a few hours after the killings.


A fool and his money are soon separated.😆


Must suck to be white trash these days.


I understand that Trump doesn't care about me. But are Trump followers and Tea Partiers into this? We all use the same internet, after all.


Only a father would say that to such a nonsensical  article.

Oh, wait...


Now We Learn the FBI Conducted Predawn Raid On Paul Manafort's Home

Two weeks ago it happened.


One primary value of America is that one never accuses another of wrongdoing,  unless their is sufficient proof to support the accusation. Otherwise the person making the accusation is committing slander.

What do you have to offer in the way of proof, let say to the level of having a jury in a court of law decide on the question,  that TRUMP is a racist. You might also want to define your terms.

Xenophobia is a fear of strangers. Mr. TRUMP has traveled all over the world. He has lived in American cities  of great diversity. He has hired thousands of people, of diverse characteristics, to work for him.  And throughout his life he has treated people equally and with respect no matter what, in terms of race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender,  etc... There is no pattern in his past to suggest otherwise. Again what would a court of law say.

So I would ask you to uphold American values of presumptive innocence and refraining from spreading gossip.


I saw this! It was funny, but yeah: the algorithm detected possible abuse and served it to more people than usual, for extra review, and the majority rejected it.

I think people likely missed the sarcasm (and may even have thought that the "remainder of the comment deleted" message was true, since it's a new system!)

So, our bad. Sarcasm has been surviving the review process fine in other communities; it may just take a few days for people to get used to the system here.


can someone please make him stop


Yawn, ok then.


There can not be two laws in Canada, one for natives and another for non-natives.   It makes a mockery of the constitution  that specifically calls for non-discrimination on basis of race, creed, sex, age, etc.


Everyone who believes in the ideals of American Democracy has the moral obligation to oppose fascism. To not do so tarnishes the memories of all those brave men and women who died fighting in WWII.


"Lawyer Rudy has said he’s hired a team of experts to perform evaluations on Kawananakoa to help prove her fitness. He also released a handwritten letter to the press that he said was written by Kawananakoa herself."

Uh huh, and who is to say that the evaluations will not be "slanted towards" proving a "personal point of view" instead of representing the truth of Ms. K's health?  "Kawananakoa then thanked Worth for bringing the matter to her attention so that she could once again take control of her own finances.  “Quite simply I do not trust Mr. Wright’s judgment and do not want him carrying on my legacy,” Kawananakoa said."

Quite frankly, I would not trust Ms. Kawananakoa's word on anything, after she had that stroke, which is why  Trustee Wrights decision to appoint an "independent medical review" of Ms. Kawananakoa's health makes sense; as neither party would be able to tamper with the findings, if they are provided to the court first for review! but that just my 2 cents.........


This article is so racist, I don't understand why DM chose to publish it.


I try to protect my birth date info. since it is one of the primary pieces of info. used to commit iDENTITY THEFT.  Info. collected by this stupid Commission is going to be an open book.


You forgot "On time and on budget."


Actually the problem remains the obstructionist swamp dwellers. If they would support the President for 6 months and then if things don't work out they can yell. It is almost impossible for him to fix things when he has this much opposition and it is not necessarily sane opposition, it is purely partisan.


America is a country and culture formed from a civil war contesting the issue of black slavery (there were no white slaves) and conflicts of powers between state and federal government. The other distinction is it relishes guns like no other civilized country in the world.

Sadly racism has never left the psyche of America and continues to make the head lines despite a war that ended in 1865.

They now have a fire breathing orange lizard that climbed from the gutter to light a fire and feed it with racism directed Mexicans, Latinos and Muslims.

The country is not getting better but only worse. If America is serious about the race issue its time to impeach the orange lizard in the Whitehouse.


Especially for someone who has a past history of partying hardy.


Thank you Ron Oman and Charles Wohlforth!


We do not need PUEO for our children's educational endeavors, we as Makua are our children's first teachers! Our fishponds, archaeological sites, kalo terraces, springs, navigational skills, mo'olelo passed down are enough for sustainability and set knowledge for the betterment of Hawaii nei. If you are current and well informed Hawaii is actually ahead and forward because we have the best natural resources in the natural world of sciences......technology has to be safe, ethical and non threatening. The telescope will not change my children's IQ level, it won't give them a scholarship but will in fact teach them that desecrating their ancestors Iwi is ok.......that being maha'oi is alright, and that a flawed process under U.S law can be manipulated......


We're handing out free stuff and the borders are wide open.
Thanks Obama!

Those few of us who pay taxes are basically being enslaved to the freeloaders.  How ironic that it was the nation's first black president who enslaved so many.


The individual writing this article very likely was on dope.


All different races of people wind up in jail for various reasons,  my wife of 25 years is native.  When my wife drinks she is a total savage, violent and verbally abusive, dangerous.  Take it for what its worth, there are a hell of a lot of good native folks that refuse to touch alcohol and there is a reason for that.  You screw up, you deserve to go to jail,  sometimes its the only help that the perpetrator gets,  native or not.

His book was banned because the Canadian Government, as well as several commentators on this 'thread,' have the ARROGANT CONCEIT to think they should be able to tell you what you can and cannot read. Absolutely disgusting, and makes me green with envy at our American neighbors for their insistence in not treating their CITIZENS like babies...  Whaaaaaaaaa!


Do you really need me to look up racial demographics to show you that Portland is less white, by percentage, than it historically has been? That's the only assertion I made. Is that what you meant?

Because if you meant that I should refute your anecdotal evidence with evidence proving the opposite, um, no. I don't know of any studies that have looked at "baseless accusations and chips on the shoulders of black transplants obviously uncomfortable in a town full of white people" which is why I'm not speaking for them.

Chum was funny! I bet you see yourself as a Great White Shark?


Ah but this is the heart of what is wrong with Honolulu. People don't vote. People don't pay attention to the issues, they don't participate in the democratic process. So yes, Cadwell will be elected again and more of this dysfunction and corruption will continue. It is just our way.


That's a real stretch.


I agree that we are not getting the best of the best. Why so many have to go to Seattle for medical care.


So? Does that say more about the U.S. or China?


The most curios allegation would be leaking grand jury information by a season federal prosecutor, Mr. Wheat, only a diversion.  Problems could be perjury or false statements  by the Kealoha's.  Mrs. Kealoha is devoid of professionalism.  Chief Kealoha might be in trouble for misuse of the Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU) and any unlawfully surveillance or abuse of power against Mr. Puana.  The federal government does not do mailbox theft cases. Why this one? The radioactive fallout has descended upon, the Ethics Commission,  Mr. Totto, Letha DeCaires, the Deputy Chief of Police (unwitting dupe) and Prosecutor Kaneshiro. All of this confusion being fertile ground for one particular mayoral candidate.  Advantage, Charles D'jou self proclaimed reformer against Mayor Caldwell for lack of transparency,  corruption, and no leadership at Honolulu Hale.  This "bizarre legal strategy" may work only for D'jou.  Winner takes it all.  Others take the fall.  Sounds like an old ABBA song.


Ascalepius - Please provide a link to any one on the Nazi side who was not white.

I'm sure the Nazis would be deeply surprised and unhappy if a non-white sneaked  into their orbit.

The proposal is that health care be in the private sector. No public sector health care.


Research it respectfully KZINGA, compare the size both population and economic, your capable. Don't say you can't find these things respectfully KZINGA, it's all within your touch on the keyboard today. Even the small nations are struggling with their socialized obligations, that's why they ration in places like Canada which you mention, and the average wait if you read the site is 9weeks to months in Canada after seeing a specialist. Why does Canada send people here much less the tens of thousands Canadians who come here? Because as far as the quality, America has the best medicine in the world!

Again, the top 5 socialist nations combined can not compete with America's advanced medicine, they haven't the ability because socialized medicine doesn't advance except without the U.S. helping them advance! We must defend them as well, they need us!


I hope the author of this article will take note of this comment: In 2008 Canadian Banks crashed just like the rest of thw world. However, since Canada main/only industry is Immigration, and possibly to protect a select few, the political parties (Cons, Libs, NDP, Greens, Senatte, etc [Stephen Harpers' government was a minority government - so all were in on it!]) BAILED OUT THE BANKS SECRETLY. The CMCH took over the mortgages and together with the CBC/Media, Realtors Association and by the use of computers FIXED the housing prices to 'recover' the bailout money. Long story short people in the know CASHED out and Canadians, famous for their HUBRIS COMPLEXT bought the lie (only a Canadian would believe that while the rest of the world failed, Canada could have super-intelligent politicians).  This situation is NOT RECOVERABLE UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT ADMITS TO THIS 'FRAUD', which will make the 'hubris-complex' dissappear... (I wish I had more space to write)


I always consider subsidiaries in tax havens to be a red flag when I analyse a company. I figure if a company seems not to treat the tax man fairly, (is aggressively avoiding taxes) they will likely treat their external share owners badly at some point as well. A couple of cases in point where mention of tax havens steered me clear were Sino-Forest and Valeant.


I hope all the people so concerned about female oppression (to the point of disbelieving womens own comments) have a similar outcry at the female oppression in numerous other religions.   The amish are even worse, they not only dictate the clothing women can wear, they regulate how much education they can attain and what jobs they can do, if any.

   The simple reality is that the is clearly freedom of expression as well as freedom of religion, so guess what, your opinion on what other people can and can't do doesn't matter.  Canada is not those other countries, nobody but their own conscience and faith is dictating their decision, as it should be. Its hilarious to read comments talking about primitive cultures telling women what to do, all while telling women what to do!

Oh my - the old and tiresome rant on sociology as junk science.  RD - this incoherent rant only reveals your dated ignorance.
Law of non-contradiction - is that like one of your troll comments.  You supposedly have a PhD in some remote math/engineering field - so, you obviously failed in this area.  Try to explain how time is greater than space violates the law of non-contradiction?


I guess some regard greed and selfishness as a virtue.


Revision of history has been going on for more than 20 years with the Republican party.  For instance most of the elementary school and secondary school text books are printed in Republican Texas with Republicans on the School board.  It is interesting how in Texas that the history about something as important as the AFL-CIO and George Meaney were removed from the texts.  Because so many texts are printed there, this removal of such significant part of how the middle class in the US emerged was promoted nearly nation wide.  Seems to go along with trickle down economics.  Our RC bishops are structured like a feudal organization in which there are titles like eminence and your grace etc.  The thinking of the litmus tested pope JP2 and Benedict Bishops was authoritarian and feudal.  No wonder our Bishops can not help people find a better way because they do not want to change themselves.  Our Bishops supported slavery when it benefited them.  They continue to support what benefits them.

Ha!  Google Boeing and government subsidies ... seems they are the biggest abusers of all.  They hold governments ransom for hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks - these are exactly the same thing as a subsidy.


Ha ha, you really get a jUVENILE thrill out of names such as tRUMP.  Shouldn't you be in sCHOOL now?  You remind me of a kid in junior high who would make fun  of everyone's name.  Cheap immature comedy.  You diminish the credibility of the anti-tRUMP crowd.


not sure what you are referring to as the RG has deleted my post you're responding to.
as for Capone, they went with what they could prove, otherwise, he wouldn't have rotted in prison, they would have fried him in the electric chair.


Not sure I understand your point at all, since trump is basically a human embodiment of hate, dishonesty, narcissism, and greed?


And our worst fear is coming true...the conservative cook and Hitler/Trump Youth comments are beginning to role in....................


(\Continued . . .)
Race-based, racist nationalism is, after all, a defining mark of extreme right-wing positions, and SA is positively littered with extreme right-wing, race-based "black nationalist" parties. SA does not have white political parties or organisations that advocate killing blacks, or driving blacks out of the country, but we are liberally supplied with black parties that want to kill whites or drive whites into exile.

SA readers are DESPERATE for balanced, objective reporting that is not sexist, not racist, not anti- any particular section of society. Not left-wing, not right wing, just comfortably more or less in the middle. Reporting, without the *agenda*. Why do so many writers find this so impossible?


As a liberal I totally agree.  It's been great having him as President.  Not a single major law has been passed since he's been President. Country seems to be running pretty well on Democratic policies, huh?


Surfer_Dude,

If I were the Japanese Government I would place the Demonrats Crime ridden U.S. Island State of Hawaii Off Limits.   Simple for the Japanese Government to do thru their Department of State, and issuing a statement that Japanese going to the Demonrats Crime ridden U.S. Island State of Hawaii will not get Japanese Free Medical Care when Injured if at the Demonrats Crime ridden U.S. Island State of Hawaii.

The Canadian Government should do the same, Demonrats Crime ridden U.S. Island State of Hawaii Off Limits, regarding the recent attack of a Canadian woman.

Star Advertiser omitted the Facts that these were Tourists, as the Hawaii Tourist Industry Sucks, as only creating a small percentage of Hawaii's Actual GDP, while sucking up large amounts of Hawaii's Resources that then become unavailable to Hawaii Residents (possible motive for the attacks) this "unavailable" also increases Violent Crimes (criminals attempting to get what became "unavailable") .


Other types of infrastructure of interest to investment funds are light rail expansion in cities not served by GO trains, and electrifying the railways.  Another could be developing a 2km wide country-wide service corridor for roads, rail, pipelines, and telecommunications.
Not all roads need to be toll roads to provide a return on investment as the investors could build and run the service centers and earn revenue that way.


Probably not the "journalist" here, it's more the actions of the editors at DP who of late seem to be specializing in click bait headlines. They should be embarrassed, but apparently aren't.


I just had the interesting experience of judging my own words regarding this. It was surprising to see it under your name. Of course I found it to be an excellent comment as well as civil! But why did you plagiarize me?


How about the last Republican president who actually balanced the budget?  Oh, thats right, he was like Obama and the Donald and played a bit of Golf.  :-)

Still I don't remember him being called a joke although he played a major role in making Golf popular.


Good job for illiterates, people with narcolepsy, schizos who constantly talk to themselves, folks with only high school degrees, prisoners who are bored with solitary confinement, mothers-in-laws, homeless, drug addicts, and illegal immigrants. Take your pick.


Mr. Willis is defending a corrupt and unsound business.  When the U.S. housing collapse was in its early days, we heard the same stuff:  "This is not a solvency issue, these banks or MBS brokers are fine - this is just a little liquidity hiccup."  The same with asset-backed paper in  Canada.  The only reason depositors were kept whole in the States was a government bailout - and that goes for many MBS holders.  Tax dollars bailed out ABCP investors here, too.  In all cases, losses should have been allowed to land on the heads of those who invested in such shaky loans.  This whole industry us rife with fraud - has Mr. Willis not read any of his own papers' coverage re all the investors who have lost a lot of money in this area??  To a lot of companies that sure look like Ponzi games and related-party scams?  (Get the money, buy overpriced land from your uncle, overpay management, run supplier kickback schemes, etc, then sadly close up shop, announcing it "just didn't work.")  Har har


Oooh...that's right.  Doctors as tax cheats.  I almost forgot...

Thank you, Mayor Berkowitz, for standing up for American values.  We are a country built by immigrants!


Isn't it nice of us to 'save' these people from the horrors of the US (sarc).   They will get free health care and dental care, among other perks, costing us millions of dollars.   We are being played for fools by the so-called asylum seekers and the Liberal government as well.
2019 can't come soon enough.


Thanks for the reply. Yes, there is no end to people who use the Bible or any other thing to gain advantage over others. They are shameful and not to be mistaken for Christians, though they sometimes say they are. True Christians are known by their fruits, meaning you will see the goodness they do in their lives. But Christians are never perfect either, so we often need forgiveness, too, like everyone else does.

As for Separation of Church and State, please read my comment and links to Gladys Kravitz. The meaning of the phrase has been turned on its head. Separating anyone and their beliefs, whatever they may be, from participation in our government, all areas of society government has involved itself in (like schools), and society itself makes no sense, particularly when Christians are singled out in this separation! But I completely agree with the Establishment Clause, meaning no state establishment of religion. That, in fact, would be unChristian.


Its out of character with the rest of the historic buildings in the area. Shame that this got built in the historic area of Honolulu. The Damon building goes back over a century.


Socialism sucks!!!! You like it?? Move


Hate to say this but the victim hung out with these reprobates on purpose. They were his friends at least to that degree. Had it been a different kid of the bunch murdered he might have been the one on trial for helping his friends to cover it up. The "good kid" narrative, that was over drinking alcohol and smoking (apparently all their) pot shows some real cognitive dissonance. Bad kids can take cute pictures too...

A good kid wouldn't have been anywhere near there.


A great America is good for a great Canada, as I travel the world I come to the same conclusion every time, things are good in Canada because we live next door to the USA. No wars, not since we got the Indians to stop them, great open ness, easy to visit, money to fund Quebec. The down side is that America  takes whatever it wants from Canada and our political class bends  over for them, now if our political class will learn to put Canada First we are in for some expansion and influence in the world. This will be good on Canada, but our political class have better step up with the Canada first agenda.

I can tell use we can't float in space we are too heavy for the lighter atmosphere which would force us downwards like an air bubble underwater gets forced upwards to stay in space we would have to draw the lighter atmosphere in to the spacecraft making it lighter. like a submarine drawing the water atmosphere in to submerge, the opposite emerge would be needed.


Considering what I routinely see at our two high schools, this girl is very conservatively dressed.  The best advice for this teacher is to get a good lawyer....quick.  The district's response will determine whether or not this goes to court

AP "the legislation’s cuts to the Medicaid program for the poor and disabled."
From what I read, it is not this simple.
i) some of the funding is being replaced by state block grants, which will allow the states to use the money more effectively.
ii) These are not cuts in the program, they are in the proposed increases.
(This would be like saying that if I plan to only lose 1 pound on my diet this year, instead of 3, then I will have already lost 2 pounds.)


To those arguing "fascism" is an "right" wing conservative phenomenon. You have no case, no evidence, no synapses firing. You are historically ignorant and dead solid wrong. Or you know this and are just dishonest.


I was curious to see english community reaction or point of view. because let's face it, CBC and Radio Canada are two very different reality.

As I expected, the noisy people who like to bash on everything that is public are making a lot of noise. But i am surprise to see significant support for CBC. Keep up the support.


Tribal court has no Constitutional footing to exist.  Ergo, any minor criminal actions conducted in a tribal court has no Constitutional authority to exist.  The Gov. has no meaningful authority over a tribal tribunal (meaningful authority is 'hire and fire' authority) and it is the executive branch that enforces statutes.

Mayor Tory is in an obvious conflict of interest with his spouse being a real estate developer, and Sousa would still be looking for proof that Asad was behind the poison attack if he was in Trump's shoes. We do not have good governance in Ontario resulting in expensive hydro and foreigners parking their money in our residential real estate unabated to the detriment of Ontario families looking to buy a home.

Hi Gary:  "... Do you contend that ... white nationalist groups parading on our streets are NOT racists? ..."  Not aware that I've ever made any such statement, good sir - but then again, I don't personally know any white nationalists.   (Do you?)

Is it your contention that a poisonous antipathy toward one's fellow citizens, based on race or ethnicity, is strictly an attitude found only among white people?  If I recall correctly, one of the policy proposals of Malcom X (Back In The Day) was the creation of a blacks-only state (I think he suggested Alabama), for people like himself who didn't like living around Whitey.  Sort of a reverse apartheid, or if you will, Black Nationalism.  (It would have made him pretty much a Secessionist, too!)  ;-)  Do you (or did you) find that suggestion / attitude equally odious as compared to the white marchers you scorn today?

I agree that these are dismaying times, and the increasing atomization of the social order won't do any of us any good.  :(


"The company whose employees did some of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs covertly..."

So, today with the legal drinking age of 18, boot-leggers will buy alcohol illegally for the under-aged. What make's this government believe that there won't be a significant problem with the supply of under-aged from legal age adults? And what penalties will they have for supplying minors?


Obama knew it was flawed, but it was the best he could accomplish given the power of the insurance industry over our legislators who never cease bending over for them at our expense. He pushed it through as is because it improved things for many people even while it made things worse for middle-income families. That making things worse is ugly for those of us it hurts, but Obama knew that it  will be what finally pushes this country past the propaganda fed to us to keep us enslaved to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. When we are devastated enough, we will finally wake up and join the rest of the world in improving our healthcare payment system for all of us.

There is no fairer way for all to chip in than through a reduction or loss of the PFD. I am one of the people that does not want an income tax so long as a PFD check is being distributed. I also would not want a sales tax while the State is still handing out a PFD check. While I would benefit from the income tax scheme proposed by the House majority coalition when compared to a plan to use the Permanent Fund earnings for its intended purpose, I cannot support taking money from others via an income tax or a sales tax to continue to provide me a PFD.

Neither an income tax or a sales tax should exist so long as a PFD check is being distributed. To do otherwise would be wealth redistribution/welfare.

Significant additional cuts can be made to our university system, and a few years of 5 percent unallocated reductions to most departmental budgets could be absorbed. We would have to accept that less will be done, perhaps some State Parks might have to be closed, or closed seasonally.


A typical Hawaii "we hate America" article.  If you don't like America, LEAVE !!!


My greatgrandmother and grandmother lived to be 100 and 95 respectively. The most they lifted on the farm was a dozen eggs and throwing out the hot dish water which I recollected would weight about 5 pounds.  My mother who is strong at 88 and apart from falling a dozen times is quite well for 88  She has a ways to go.

So then you will support the NDP's call to pass this project through the BC Utilities Commission for review, as it should have.

If it's good, build it.
If not, mothball it.

So why do you think the BC Liberals went to the extraordinary process of forcing the BCUC to NOT review it?


Aside from increasing revenue, the legislature should devise some sort of accountability process and/or penalty for the City managers that run rail.


Help me out why, please. I'm not invested in showing it as such, but "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation" seems to me to describe the tweet... factually untrue, check; damaging, check. What else is needed?


Having watched the debate this week, and Horgan's other media appearances, it's quite obvious that it is HE who cannot answer straightforward questions.  He is outright lying to voters about balancing the budget (mathematically impossible), selling his bull**** claims of creating a middle-class utopia with affordable housing, lots of jobs, etc., while raising taxes on corporations and "rich" British Columbians making $150K or more per year (if you lived in the Lower Mainland, you'd know $150K/yr. doesn't go that far).  What this fool doesn't tell voters is that capital, investment, and jobs are mobile - they can leave the province (as they did the last time the NDP was in gov't), leaving everyone poorer.  As Margaret Thatcher once said, "the trouble with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money".  Well put.


But you missed the more important point about why we have "rights" in the first place:  to perform a duty encumbered based on our nature.

Duties precede rights. Rights exist to allow us to perform some duty.

The founding fathers understood that we have rights to pursue some true good.

We don't just have them to pursue superficial things such as desires.   Gracious.


Just another fine day in little California I see.


Of all the things police *should* be doing, one I find high on MY list is making sure I don't run over one of these drunken sods who just stumbled out in front of my car. Or fining the idiot in front of me who, by handing drinking money to another drunk out his car window, has backed up 10 cars at a green light, frustrating everyone, causing them to swerve in all directions trying to get past him through the light, turning the entire area into a demolition derby. Or how about when after said panhandler gets his booze, gets drunk, his 'friends' rob him,  and while struggling with them, he bashes his head against a curb. If he's 'lucky' it's a ride to the hospital where he gets free care (I have to pay for mine) to put him back together enough to go get drunk again. If not, he gets a free burial because no-one wants to claim the body and get charged a fee.

As it is, calls to APD get ignored for hours. So what *exactly* are they doing that's more important than making the streets safer?


Congratulations, and thank you to Jim Gottstein.  You did Alaskans a real service by standing against the corrupt act that resulted in this sole source lease to a Republican party insider.  Please consider running for office.  Please.  We desperately need good people in the legislature!

Thank you to Judge McKay for following the law!

To Mike Hawker:  Resign.  You are incompetent, and broke the law.

I know this hurts but Trump is under Grand Jury criminal investigation for collusion, obstruction and treason.

And most Americans think he's deranged.  Screaming Obama this, and Clinton that, isn't considered a defense in a court of law.  Sorry.


I don't have a bible (or bibles), but "Insane President Clown" makes for very good reading. That is if one likes the "nitty-gritty" of the behind the scenes lunacy of the "right wing" and the state of the "Fourth Estate". Naturally, strictly from Matt Taibbi's perspective; lets say he doesn't wear red or blue glasses and he calls it as he sees it. Which is a refreshing change from the usual pablum across the spectrum.
As gets mentioned in the book, quoting a Russian journalist "if you want to find out what the Americans are up to you follow the Russian news, to find out what the Russians are up to you follow the American news."
I've been more or less doing that since '67, but added "Der Spiegel" and "NZZ" etc. to the mix. It doesn't hurt to get a bit of balance, along with perspective.
Oh yeah and then there is the G&M. :)


Did you know that Wonder Woman was inspired by Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood? Yep, Wonder Woman was created in 1941 by the psychologist William Marston who was hired by the publisher of what would become DCComics. He had a passionate interest in women's rights and drew inspiration from courageous suffragists - particularly Margaret Sanger.


The real crime here is the horrid resolution on those security cameras.

Lol, I was just agreeing with someone a few days ago that McLaren only puts out junk soft news and other useless drivel. Confirmed.
In 2 weeks the trendsetting scumbags will come out with a new put-down that no one really cares about.


Cm'on this is "fact finding". Now we know for certain that the sands of  Waikiki are much warmer than the sands of Cook Inlet or Norton Sound. As these old war horse legislators (who drove this state into the ground) prepare to bail out of Alaska with a nice state retirement they need this data.  I understand they will be sending a delegation to Palm Springs next.  Besides, she paid her own way so I assume she will receive a citation and a round of legislative applause - certainly not condemnation. Cm'on......


I guess this guy likes to have his cake and eat it too.  He makes this statement:

'It's true that the top 1 percent of wage earners paid 38 percent of the federal income taxes in 2008 (the most recent year for which data is available). But people forget that the income tax is less than half of federal taxes and only one-fifth of taxes at all levels of government.'

However, the remainder of the article continues to focus on income taxes, which he admits that the poorer folks aren't paying, but when he talks about taxes they ARE paying, he's counting things like sales taxes.  Rich people pay sales taxes when they buy anything, just as poor people do.  Most of these "facts" are worthless shifts of focus away from the intended subject.


You know that because?


And how can you blame the tides (assuming they meant one (1) day) when the tides were never above the usual high tide of 4.6 metres most days.
An eclipse (casting a shadow, or obscuring of light) does not make the sun and moon gravitational effects any more stronger.
A simple Tide tool would show that.   WxTide32, for example.
Maybe it is the untidal (tides but greater effect of spring floods and summer releases) "Inland Toronto Globe and Mail"'s fault.

And the lack of scientifically alert questioning Copy-Editors at the Globe doesn't help.
Please send the reporters and remaining editor back to school over the next months for intense subject refreshers, away from the stale Globian air.

This cursed Washington State fish farm shows why all fish-farms should be land-based.


What part don't you understand?  There is a large number of Americans that are fearful of the things Trump speaks about.  What is there about that you don't understand?  You can say they are ignorant, foolish, whatever but you know that is not true.  If you really believe that it is you who is ignorant and foolish.  To ignore those concerns is to put your head in the sand.


again you make claims you can not back up with facts, no one knows what any plans are once the line is approved on refining or export. as for the crying game for provinces please they take the risk even more now with rail so a line is less of a risk period, time to end the politics and get  on with it

Actually that comment is very relevant and accurate. You just don't like it.


I'm all for comparing public vs private sector jobs. I'm waiting for you to do it.
You're the one who wrote, "Not many private sector jobs paying that right now," in response to Kompressor's comment that if the wage gap gets too big public employees will depart for the higher wages in the private sector.
You must have knowledge of the wages in the private sector.
So where are your FACTS?


"A sophisticated, nuanced approach to a reform of the Democrats' identity politics could have worked well for the Republicans. Many Democrats themselves are suggesting they went overboard. But nuance and sophistication have no place in Mr. Trump's approach. He won via the politics of polarization."

There is no sophisticated, nuanced approach on either side. Trump retaliated in a tit-for-tat way, swinging the US from one extreme to its mirror image.

The Democrats are the ones who had succeeded in polarizing the electorate, it was easy for Trump to reap the rewards.


A low life friend of mine told me why there are so many vehicle thefts all of a sudden. Unfortunately we can't talk about it. I'd sure like to know if it's true.


"It’s for the sake of the party that I do this ... " That's his explanation. Really?

Possible shot at Cdn leadership vs. Certainty of growing a commercial empire ... hmmm no brainer.


Okay, lying Globe, what is your evidence that global tensions were stoked by this speech? What survey did you do?


Good. Stubborn entitled disrespectful brat.


A Politician that LIES is not unusual, rather the norm. A politician that tells the truth is an oxymoron because politicians are incapable of telling the truth - EVER !!!


Trump's press secretary just admitted or at least inferred that he has no "proof" of his version of the phone call.

My take is that, being a paranoid type, he probably does tape his conversations but belatedly has realized that it's now a double-edged sword. After claiming he had "tapes" of his conversations with Comey, he then said he really didn't - likely because they proved Comey's presentation of events. Now, even if he is right about how events transpired in his phone call to the parents of a dead soldier, he can't produce tapes because then his denial about the Comey tapes will be exposed as yet another spectacular lie.

When one lives their life by lying as Trump does reflexively, eventually one finds themselves floundering in the deep quicksand of bs one has created.


Trump is crazy alright -- crazy like a genius fox who wins all the time.

The truth that hurts the Liberals, the Fake News and the elites the most is that Trump is the only politician who "tells it like it is", the only politician the people can trust.

By the way, Trump's approval ratings are surging.


The person/corporation you took the money from to give to the low income family would have spent it within our economy also. Therefore there is no net benefit to the economy from this type of program when the low income family in turn spends the money. In fact it is probably a net loss due to the cost of administering the program.

Opportunity costs matter.


Its the right move.
Everyone forgets we don't win Super Bowl 50 without Brock stepping up to the plate when manning fell apart.


So very sad.


Taking away the priviledge to drive would be less costly.

After your last statement, you have lost all credibility and may want to consider changing your user name to Klasless. My mommy taught me name-calling is not nice and serves no purpose when I was 5-How old are you?

"Has civilization lost its collective mind? How long before the population can take things into its own hands? How long before murder and manslaughter become assisted suicide?"  Ms. Zagano, this is not worthy of you.  This is going from zero to 100 in 3 seconds.  This is catastrophizing.  I would have liked to have read an article against Assisted Suicide based on Scripture and Church laws.  Secondly, Oregon was the first Assisted Suicide State -- I don't remember the date but it was many year ago -- and very few residents have taken advantage of it.  There is no proof that Medical Aid in Dying/Assisted Suicide is a steep Swiss ski run.


HA HA keep dreaming lunatic, the ndp are toast


During a lunch on parliament hill after his retirement Trudeau the original was quoted as saying his idea of multiculturalism was that newcomers would indeed try integrate into the fabric of canadian society. Instead based on leftist ideals of moral relativism they are encouraged to do the opposite. We only need big immigration of we wish to continue with big government.


"what could happen to Trump when this is all over"

So, the media has forgotten how to even pretend to be objective.


I think it's about time to remove the churches non profit tax free status.  If you are a church and you accept a tax break then you should be as blind to this stuff as the government. The minute you start lobbying, using that tax free money to shape government to be discriminatory to one group that's different, it's abuse of the system and it needs to stop.


Ross also spent many years in Alaska until his father who was serving in the USCG in Ketchikan, was transferred....While he may be unknown in Anchorage, they damn sure know who he is in Southeast.....


Mr. Garcia, your call for "bodies in the streets" sound rather violent, rather antifa. Oh, that's right, they have done massive damage to their communities and visited violence on those with whom they "disagree".

Please enumerate the high crimes and misdemeanors that you think President Trump has committed.

Oh, BTW, President Obama had NO problem issuing executive orders. The only difference is that your ox was not getting gored.

This article just sounds like someone who did not get his way on November 8, 2016. Your reprehensible candidate lost to the other reprehensible candidate. Get over it.


"Live and let live." We will see where that gets us in the long run. Sad.


Wish in one hand, spit in the other...what do we have more of? End of election mumbo jumbo. More shenanigans to confuse Alaskans.


Sometimes the identity of an anonymous poster is widely known.  Sometimes it's because another commenter exposed it, sometimes because that person inadvertently did so him/herself.  I think GBA's has, in fact, been exposed by both actions.  I know I did so several years ago, I was chastised (and properly so) by the moderators for doing so, I apologized to GBA (under whatever moniker he was using at the time) and have been careful to avoid again exposing his identity.

At the same time, it would be rather amazing if, hypothetically speaking, someone would write a "letter to the editor" then, using a moniker, praise one's own letter on this site.  IMO, that would be a very tacky thing to do.

BTW: In response to GBA:   and to paraphrase a HUAC answer:"I am not and have never been a member of the Communist Party."  While I've been called far worse that "komrade"garycrum, it is not my preferred title.


Has ISIS claimed responsibility yet?

For those Malihini (and some Kamaaina who pay attention to this stuff) one can say that "only in Hawaii can you have politicians who are considered 'conservative Democrat'"

In the rest of the nation, they'd call those people Republicans, or Libertarians. Just saying.


Some additional advice:  Carry a gun.


If and when Amazon chooses Denver as a HQ city, s#!t will get real...


There is MSM spin even in the headline: "Trump uses Assange to cast doubt on claims of Russian hacking"

Did they ever write:
"Bush uses Powell to manufacture support for Iraq war"
or
"Obama uses Russian hacking to deflect attention from DNC collusion and Clinton Foundation corruption"


Cardinal Burke in his charity is giving Pope Francis an out to affirm that Christ's teaching on divorce and remarriage still stands.


"“Mr. Trump does not understand the norms, rules and traditions of his job.”
Trump was not elected to be a typical President.


Trump has divorced twice.  TWICE.  Infedility was an issue in AT LEAST one of the divorces.  His clear preference is to marry foreigners from  former USSR regions.  And, of the former USSR region wives, BOTH are biologically capable of performing showers.
According to the most recent Quinnipac poll, Trump's approval rating is down around 34%.   72% approve of Robert Mueller being special counsel.  Maybe that is why Mueller feels it is appropriateto impanel a GRAND JURY on the Russia probe (already!!!).
Trump LIED about getting calls from Boy Scout leadership.
Trump let lie (pun intended) the LIE about his non-participation in Don Jr.'s Russia meeting statements.

All about as relevant as your dated poll citation.  But, shall we continued the discussion of "fact" nonetheless?  I got more.


:)  Thanks for your mistake, though.  It, and the responses, cracked me up this morning.

I'm not casting stones - any of us could have made a similar mistake.  But that doesn't mean we can't get a kick out of them.


Nero fiddled ...


You mean like-Hillary's lies and Obama's lies and all the medias lies? I'll take the Trump lies anytime before theirs.


JoshuaWelch:  Same here, I smh at the way the RG treated this news item.   Of course, the sit-in created publicity, but it wasn't a publicity stunt.    The Democrats responded to that as an insult and I wish the RG included that.   I call it being passionate and saying enough is enough.   It makes absolutely no sense what many Republicans aren't doing in this regard.    We take such good measures involving who can't travel on planes, but take no steps involving certain gun purchases.    If any sit-in or march scheduled for Eugene,  I'll be there!


I would have done the same thing. The dog didn't respond to the man so it was probably zoned in on the kid.  Had the kid wondered into that dogs yard this story would be about a dead 3 year old.


Motley: in 2015, Oregon ranked 26th in per capital income at $54,148.

Carolina, Tennessee, S.Carolina, Louisiana, New Mexico, Kentucky, Alabama, W. Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi.  Your comment, of course, is meant to be sarcastic.  In fact, It's really rather accurate.  Those Red States (check that list) with only the Federal minimum wage do fall at the bottom of the economic scale.  Check it out for yourself.........

But how could you resist taking a selfie at the crematorium? It’s history.


I would not expect to have a compassionate bill collector. I would expect professionalism. I am not; a give it to me soft girl. I am a give it to me straight up girl. Tell me the truth, the hard cold truth. This might hurt more, but it is better. I am not a person that sugar coats hard facts. Slippery slope logic comes from people who can't see hard facts or will deal with them. You want a Mayor to hold your hand. I want a Mayor who will not break laws or sell out the dignity of others for agenda. In his debates he stated, it is about getting people to see his logic and go along with the decision. This is not dialogue or flexibility. This is corporate manipulation disguised as false advertisement. He is brilliant at this because he only knows this type of leadership. Leadership in government is very different. It is not the Mayor's responsibility to provide resources to those that struggle. This can be a set up of trades for service. This is illegal in government.


With sputters and spatters, wonder when the Twit's fraud elect presidency is going to get off the ground.  Perhaps the Twit's presidency is where it needs to be; in the gutter sputter and spattering.  Puff, puff, choke, cough.


Tim,
This is the task this committee was asked to do. It is not what they did. Instead they wrote a pro-sports document with inflated numbers for suppourters (basically everyone in the State) and hid the true cost of UA intercollegiate athletics-like title IX violations and law suits, and facity costs. A failed process for sure.


Canada has never been able to defend itself, which is why we rely on our participation in alliances. Actually, what countries can defend themselves, other than Sweden and Switzerland, China and India, perhaps? By that I include sovereign territories and financial interests, of course.


That's so sad.   My mother died shortly after New Year's but it was touch and go from about Christmas Eve on.   We couldn't get a priest  there until the 4th of January.  It took many phone calls and finally a priest from a neighboring parish came.  Hospice wasn't particularly helpful in those days either.  We thought it was because of the timing.
Spiritual support for the sick is sorely lacking in this area. (City of about 75K)
There's the lack of the sacrament but there is also the lack of spiritual support when facing death.  Some people don't know how to deal with the feelings and anxieties and may need a spiritual compass.

Why can't deacon's perform the Anointing of the Sick?  Anybody know.


I noticed the paper today has a distinct lack of national news.

Like national news is no longer of any importance.

There are a number of days old articles, some click bait, but not so much in the way of news.

Iraqi forces are fighting Kurds who look for independence for themselves, Trump's America is against granting them independence, ….because oil fields, and the Iraqis just seized Kirkuk where the oil fields are located.

Trump named Tom Marino to be his 'drug czar'.

Of course he did

Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) was the chief advocate for the measure that hobbled the Drug Enforcement Administration and made it harder for the government to take action against large drug companies when they flood the market with addictive drugs.

Marino led the effort to help weaken the Drug Enforcement Administration’s ability to go after drug distributors, even as opioid-related deaths continue to rise.

California continues to burn.

The founders designed impeachment for someone like Trump

Richard is Trump fighting back? No matter what you tink he's doing he's certainly fighting back the false narratives, lies, etc.. TheDonald has no fear fighting back even if the Rep.'s are dissing him too, the elections exposed the Democratic PartyNo worries as I know I won't change your mind
Well, I don't condone the Liberal Media leading readers astray with false misleading assumptions. I held News agencies as a source of accurate news, no more as I now understand how politics plays in their pieces of fake news.
Democrats/Liberals are drumming up lies, deceit because Hillary lost and don't want to accept he won the elections or his agenda. Disagree with Trump and point it out, but to LIE? There is a difference


Like all those US politicians caught with prostitutes who claim they were doing 'research '

A lot of people believe that as well.......


"Retroactively correct" is in the same category as "alternative fact."


Our police departments are smart people. The law is on the books so they can use it as a tool when necessary and can not enforce the rule when necessary. They still need to keep the small dealers away from the kids and they need the tools. Rather provocative, but silly article.


Can you verify that dinosaurs became extinct when they couldn't survive climate change? What caused the climate change if it occurred. Was it the daily change to earths climate or some outside influence.


You have obviously never written a headline before. ... Not all who benefit from DACA are from Mexico. Most came to the United States from a diversity of nations alongside their parents, who overstayed their visas. These young people grew up in and were educated in the United States and know no other country. Some are in college and earning degrees in the STEM and other fields and are contributing to our country in many positive ways -- more than many homegrown Americans who haven't accomplished much even though they've had many privileges accorded to them. ... By the way, Mexico and the rest of the nations and islands in Latin America ARE in "America."


It was a blessing that JT was elected. Otherwise we'd not have understood how good a PM harper really was.


" It is aimed at extremist Muslims."

I don't care if it's aimed at Martians.  Martians who've moved to Canada can enjoy their Charter rights just like anyone else.  Many people here (including you) are crying fake tears for the poor terrified bus driver who has to let some middle aged woman board his bus without seeing her face, but many people wearing balaclavas have boarded buses in Montreal and somehow *it was never a problem until now*.

Why don't you just admit the real reason you like this law, and stop advancing phony and transparently terrible "public safety" arguments?


I, serveral years ago, wrote an OpEd piece addressing the inadequacies in rural Lane County public safety support.  You certainly don't need to lecture me on this issue.  SB941 is directed at private sellers and is designed to be a deterrent to selling firearms without obtaining verification that the potential buyer is NOT an individual who is specifically prohibited from legally purchasing such a weapon.  When functioning as such a deterrent, it requires NO governmental actions at all.  With their decision to NOT enforce the law, Lane County has effectively removed that deterrent value.  Gary Crum

I'm amazed at the lengths to which you'll go to avoid the giant orange elephant in the room.


Thank you for your analysis, but since you are not likely to become the world's most powerful leader, and did not actually give the speech in question, I would find it infinitely more informative to hear directly from Hillary Clinton as to exactly what she meant. Sorry.


Oregon just realizing that cost of healthcare for govt workers now exceeds cost of PERS.  Epic govt insolvency coming locally thru nationally.  USD will be butt wipe.


Given the Republicans success in Congress and Senate over the last couple of decades, I presume they are the career politicians you are referring to.


[Let me help you out: A) DREAM Act was introduced in 2001.]
Where did I claim that it wasn't originally introduced in 2001?  In fact, it was explicitly because it failed in Congress in 2001 that I stated "re-introduced."  I fail to see where you can rationally claim I was wrong when you support my refutation that Obama spent years, arguably years more, on immigration reform than the ACA.  Did you perhaps misread what I actually stated, ie. "re-introduced" as "introduced?"  If your "help" is based upon misreading or missing important context you aren't being very helpful.
[ACA was already law in his 2nd year of office.]
Uh-huh.  What are you trying to communicate here?  The point I raised was not about which one came first but refuting the idiotic claim that Obama didn't spend time on immigration reform, or as I directly quoted, "he should have spent time changing [immigration law]."  I don't see how this second point is related at all.


This should be interesting. I've always thought loyalty was a two-way street.


Poor corporal 11 enjoy the bloody Mary's double shot. Wait awhile before you down the aspirins.

All the more reason to leave them there as evidence of the need that continued vigilance is required to eliminate hatred and bigotry.


Uh, I think his/her post was intended to be sarcastic.  Sad thing is, there's actually truth in it.  The U.S. culture accepts killing a lot more than many.  People in the U.S. rarely talk about the murders in their big city seemingly every day.  Huge attacks like this will be mainstream talk for about 2 weeks, then it'll fade into nothing.  Nobody talks about the tens-hundreds of thousands we kill in the middle east.  Americans are more numb to killing than many Americans realize, comparatively speaking to advanced nations.


A number of places in the lower 48 are having a big spike in the murder rate. Chicago is way up.


There is lots of money available Rob if the government would take the initiative.

We have seen from a CBC report that, and I quote from memory, 50 billion left the country tax free in around 2011 and has blossomed to 100 billion in 2016 through the what I will call Barbados corporate dodge.  Eliminating these exemptions and taxing at 20%? would add 20 billion to the treasury if the will was there.

A second example of "lots of money" is following the US example where all Canadians, regardless of their residency, must file and pay taxes on their worldwide income.  This would only be a small paperwork issue for anyone working in G7 nations (as the taxes paid there would equivocate mostly with our own) but would catch other jurisdictions (and yes including China) where little or no taxes are paid.  This would be a bounty for the government and I believe to be fair to the Canadians who stayed and pay taxes here to build infrastructure such as schools and hospitals.


I'm just so grateful to the DP for this incredible reporting.  I hear there are issues in North Korea, the middle east, Venezuela.... But this, this is the news I need to know!!


Take your little slugfest private. Who really cares which of you is more Republican? Certainly not the citizens of this state who have been at the mercy of the Republican Party far to long. Away with both of you! Oh and Mr Babcock, what have you to say about your endorsement of the loon your party is supporting for the presidency?


Bah...what a word salad.
Let me restate/explain it.
Scenario #1
If the Fed is aggressive in its wording,and "telegraphs" this...then the economy will still grow...and obviously the $US will rise....as will rates
Inflation will be less of a risk....(cause Mama Fed has your back) ...so gold will not flourish
Scenario #2
If the Fed "telegraphs" that it is still "accommodative"....and talks about "room for wage growth and gradual hikes" etc etc etc...(today)
Well...Gold will get a bid. (like today)  but the $US will not do as well as in scenario #1 (like today)
.
What earthly part of this obvious scenario are you not getting ?
It just played out in front of yr eyeballs at 2 PM
.
I think mostly you are just (as usual) following me around.... nagging me...telling me/readers how bad I am ("outright liar")
etc etc
I know I tease you a lot but really....how tiresome this is...can you blame me ??
.
All this because I do not love your ridiculous pipelines...


Simply heartbreaking.  Condolences to the family and friends.


Nice try at deflecting. Obama is still the President? Since when?  Maybe Obama should just pull a Republican and say - as the Republicans did when he nominated Garland for the Supreme Court a year ago - "I'm a lame duck president!  The next president should deal with it."  After all, the Republicans threatened to scream bloody murder and say the election was rigged(sound familiar?)  if the President talked about it before the election, and Trump, who knew what the Russians were doing and top republicans were threatening, began the "the election is rigged" chant well ahead of it to remind the Government of the threat.  Nice piece of work you voted for.


This happens constantly.  So many people eager to offer me positions at various firms, offers rescinded as soon as they find out I'm trans.  No way to prove discrimination in 99.999% of instances like this, but we all know it's going on.  It happens to all minorities and likely always will.  People just can't get over their hatred for anyone that isn't exactly like they are.


"there's no equivalent support available to young adults who are not attending college."
If this is true (I am in no position to argue this conclusion), it at least gives the Church a starting point for evangelisation ... no-one seems to take up this ball, however! I wonder how many young people would take advantage of free and inspirational 'further education' (I do not include indoctrination in that phrase), and how the Church could realistically provide it? One of the issues I have observed in UK (not in Africa or the far East) is that very often young people actually lack the confidence and self-esteem to break beyond their local cultural boundaries. (Where they do, they appear to flourish.) Too often they do not think they are 'good enough' - they appear to have given up before they have started. Furthermore, everyone else seems to know what is best for them which is often negative. This is a cultural issue but the church could enter the arena positively. Is this a US issue?


Andrew Cohen doesn't understand how negotiating works. Do you think Trump or Ryan thought this would pass full stop?


More WASTED MONEY from the party that knows how to WASTE $$$$$ the most.................


From Gabrielle Bossis's prayer journal "He and I" (a collection of her prayers and insights gained):

He: "And if those who called themselves his intimate friends came only on rare occasions because of their forgetfulness (forgetfulness is in itself a wound to love), don't you think that this generous man would be deeply offended and that he would have every right to close his door? I am this generous man. But My banquet is free to all right to the end of time. ...Come and take My riches and give to the poor in confidence, the poor in desires, the poor in vision, for they think they are rich. The more you give, the more munificent your part will be. My merits never come to an end. They are fitted to everyone's needs. They only multiply as you take them. For My merits are Myself."


Last time I checked California was part of the US, and if each citizens vote counted equally, Clinton would be the winner.


Odumbo was bigot and spent all his time issuing unconstitutional executive orders and gave us the world health system in the world  that is now failing everyone EXCEPT himself and Dems who have their own! So lets compare the two honestly!


You are likely aware there is no shortage of people who think the RCC is a cult. Most likely as a result of people like you who cling to medieval anathema nonsense. Do you actually know any Protestants, or do you avoid them at all costs as if they might somehow contaminate you?

And as an FYI, the early Rule of Faith (what frozen-in-time trads like to refer to as "deposit" of faith) may have been entrusted to the early Christian church who considered themselves to be "katholikos," but there is simply no evidence (or rationale) to believe that Jesus intended the church to be fashioned after imperial Rome, which is precisely how "Roman" Catholicism came into existence in the post-Constantine church.

But of course you will refute this history in favor of Rome's bogus claims to authority, despite refutations of such by Cyprian and other fathers of the early church.  History is no friend to the One-True-Church crowd; fortunately, most people nowadays are aware of this fact.


He's obviously ashamed of his actions, or he wouldn't be withholding his name in court documents. Being identified as John Doe is very suspicious.  The female student who reported him is to be commended. She did the right thing.  Rapists need to be exposed and identified!

SCC told the government to make every effort to repatriate Omar, which they did.  They never ordered or even mentioned cash.

Yes I agree.  We live in Ocean Park, Crescent Beach area and sales are still happening quite regularly, not crazy like before but just normally.  A tear down in Crescent beach on a 6000 sq ft lot just sold for $1,250,000.   Values seem to be holding here.  And there is a lot of infill building going on(tearing down old and building new) and renovating existing homes.  We are still much more reasonably priced out here as compared to Vancouver, you get so much more for your money.


Liberals blame the opposition for filibustering. I think it's the other way around.  If the opposition could get a straight honest answer to a question instead of longwinded bafflegab and no answer, maybe things could move forward at a better pace.


Your split second decision couldn't have been to shut the car door? Seems like that would be safer and more effective than shooting your gun.


They should have carried a Spot locator.  Then the student would not have had to hike within cell phone range.  It will send a message with your location to the nearest Search and Rescue operation by Satellite.  My wife and I carry one.  It also can be used to send posts to Facebook telling your location and that you are OK.  It costs about $150 and the subscription for the email and Facebook posts costs about $150 per year.  A Satellite phone is even better but they cost about 3 times as much.
