You make a very good point, but kind of miss the boat.  The stance AST is taking right now with Girdwood is the exact same stance they took in the early 1990s with the Hillside, that it's not their responsibility to provide general policing services to an incorporated municipality with police powers.  They're doing this knowing full well that the MOA is doing its part to comply with state law in taking the stance they're taking.  Like with the early 1990s, it's a scare tactic to get voters to accept areawide police powers or a rough equivalent.  John Wood tried to push through areawide police powers on his way out the door of the Assembly.  It was pointed out to him that this meant APD would provide police services to Lake George and Portage Glacier, if need be.  Think about the expense involved in THAT.


Yes, we all have, but there is so much more to Puna, and it could be shared with others in a much more positive light than his..

"Puna has long been a counter-culture haven for folks desiring to live off-grid, work on organic farms – if at all – and play on an active rift zone"

that to begin an article as such is to suggest that this is the majority view, the majority behavior, the majority lifestyle, of Puna. Whereas it is not. Far from it. So much so that I believe Jason did a lot more harm than good to the wonderful people of Puna and should feel ashamed of himself for capitalizing on such slander.

And, as I said, based on this level of poor reporting I think Jason should not be welcome back as a reporter for CB. Really, if he wants to paint distorted views of things there's plenty of online forums for him to write in. But to sully the pages of Civil Beat is tantamount to harming the best we have.

Shame on you Jason Armstrong


...and as the mirror suggests, Smoking is Very Glamorous.


ok lets be honest, trump is not by any measure the richest man in america


See what I mean?


Yeah, go try to make a case for all those hippies and that whole generation that spawned heavy drug use and thumbing their nose at respect.  Try it.

"Intent" is also missing from those codes.  It's specific, and just because it warms your little nationalistic heart to see that flag, it's disrespectful, as it is used as a marketing too and a sales job for our wars.


Actually, you should be surprised, considering the collusion that lead to this.


Kirk isn't the problem here.  A program to help the homeless is a "failure" since most homeless want help yet their mentality and emotionality has deteriorated to the point of deteriorismz.   Edwin Young also doesn't know how to adjust his writing skills to different topic in life around him.  when someone trips and falls you can help them get up again and on their way home,  work etc.  no one can help homeless since they're oblivious to where their home is,  lack of family love and caring and motivation due to so much EBT,  food stamps and SNAP ideas and programs have deteriorated our world.  Thats why Donald Trump is our president.


Why do you care about my little emotie guys?


Low IQ, high drama.


Today take the complaints to the JIVE MAN FROM KENYA that is landing here today. All of Alaska leaders will there to kiss his rear-end.


One could argue that it already has in Republican America.


Not to endorse franco's views, but why are you so afraid to have him/her express those views?


And yet I bet you consider yourself to be a "progressive" and believe in "all inclusiveness"..............the hypocrisy of the left never fails to astound me.


"The coaches are excited about the gains made in the weight room"
I wonder what these gains are.


PI:  Am I to understand your comment to be that the gentlemen listed above have all converted because they "couldn't bear to hear a women standing in a pulpit preach the word of God?"?


I guess picnic is too old fashioned. "Pop up" is the new hip term! We always have called it a picnic.


Bs, the empty building in Ottawa speak volumes.
One could hear the cheers coming from Ottawa when Justin won. Yes "just a wee debt" Harper mocked during the election, he new Justin was lying  and the status quo were drooling all over the CANADIAN tax payers credit card.
Yes modest stimulus package, what an obvious lie !!!!
Harper attempted put new employees on contract and attempted to change abusive sick day formulas for public servants , lets not even talk about public union audits, short from senses, cxl gun registry,  native Indian audits, Mexican visa requirements,strong immigration policy's,  no costly enquirers, no carbon tax, income splitting, tax free saving account, lower taxes, gst cut, an effective stimulus package for the worst recession since the great depression, most prosperous G7 NATION, balanced budget  and  on and on.
Simple put government won the last election and tax payers lost big time !!!
Congrats.


By admitting his concern for political narrative, Trudeau instantly undermined his desire for reconciliation. The reaction to the Brazeau fight was stinging. Two comments under a Guardian(U.K.)article about the Rolling Stone piece sum up its effect: “So ‘privileged white guy beats up Indian’ was the ‘right kind of narrative?’ Seriously?”; and “White guy in power & entitlement looks 4 an #Indigenous human to beat up so he looks like a strong white dude. How precious & colonial supreme.”

Dermont, Charley, Walker and a few others seems to think our current fiscal situation can be resolved simply by new taxes and restructuring the PF. It might in the very short term but after that pension liabilities, Medicaid and employee health insurance increases will have us talking about a lot more than cutting hockey, let alone entire sports department. Toss in government induced inflation and suddenly a restructured PF is a drop in the bucket. Contrary to what these guys are saying, they're really hoping oil goes back to 80/bbl and gas goes to 8/bbtu in a short span of less than ten years. All I can say is a magician can easily persuade the mind into believing anything.


And Cory Gardener should exit the Senate because he is a turd sandwich.


Recently NCR had an article with the heading "Church accompanies couples before and after marriage." I responded by saying, "unless you're a gay couple, in which case the church will accompany you right out the door."


"Randal Wilson" Those of us who have been reading your posts on this issue over the last several months have learned a lot about immigration law and practice.  Your posts have been a very valuable addition to the discussions.  From your earlier posts, I know that you do not believe that parliamentarians should use the notwithstanding clause to suspend, at least temporarily, the Supreme Court's 1985 decision in the Singh case, but readers should be aware that that is an option which is spelled out in our Constitution.  And the notwithstanding clause is not simply symbolic. It was put into the Constitution for precisely this type of situation - to allow Parliament to override, at least temporarily, a Court finding on Charter rights.  If Parliament were to invoke the notwithstanding clause in the case of the Singh decision, the Safe Third Country Agreement could be applied to those who enter Canada at locations which are not Ports of Entry.


Yes the parallels may well be too hard to understand for some. If you tend to believe Trump is the best thing that happened to North America in recent times these are not even parallels.

But for those of us who believe that the slow, insidious changes in attitudes that led to the crowning of Trump is not such a great thing, the parallels are glaring.


Re-ignites the debate? Please, there is no debate on gun law at the legislative level. If he can't walk on water, no American politician will touch it.

There's too much masochism/fetishism in the American psyche. It's gun culture is a self-inflicted wound. Good luck turning that around.


Paul Ryan should forget about any appearance of taking the high road any more. He left that behind for good.


Do you Guys know where I can buy house wort $350,000 for at least $850,000? Three  out of two banks gave me pre-approvals. Do you think  Lindsay, Regan and Davis could point me a right direction?


2/ Although Trump does have a history of racism. The fact is his rhetoric brought these racist hate groups out of the woodwork for the first time in decades, and they enthusiastically endorsed him. Now why would that be?

Furthermore, Steve Bannon, CEO of the Trump campaign and rumored to be Trump's pick for Chief of Staff, is a white supremacist and guru of the alt right, a white supremacist/anti-Semitic movement. So no, there was no confusion on that point that caused Hillary's loss. That's absurd.

We will have to disagree about the word "coalition." It is certainly legitimate to describe the alliances of convenience that develop to win elections.


Fairness? Certainly a sweetheart deal for those who have large families. And who are they? Stats Can will identify them for you.

The program certainly distorts the support levels for single disabled persons receiving welfare compared to families on welfare.

Fairness is of course an opinion and opinions may differ. A couple who choose not to have children may wonder if it is fair that they contribute to childcare, schooling, universities, medical costs and now this welfare program for people who cannot afford to raise their own children. I grew up in a low income household but my siblings and I inherited a work ethic and a culture of being self sustaining.

It is always ironic how people who pay no federal taxes have so much to say about how the tax dollars should be spent.


Reliably reported that, right after the picture was snapped, President Trump excused himself and went to wash his hands.  Thoroughly.  Now let's see who can find fault with the kind of good hygiene we should all practice.


The law needs to be amended as it is being abused in a manner that was not foreseen back in the day that it was drafted. It was never intended to be gamed by illegals but they are working on the amendment to get passed where one MUST be a legal resident in order for offspring born in US territory will also be a US Citizen.


I'm looking forward to lower home heating bills due to the upcoming warm winter. And I've already stocked up with sun tan lotion for next summer. Hopefully we might even see palm trees north of the 49th one day so we can save on our GHG emissions getting to the southern U.S. to avoid winters.


That is simply incorrect. The notion that violence against homosexuals should not be surprising is based on the fact that SOME PEOPLE will believe that it is deserving. Yes, such beliefs in THOSE PEOPLE are despicable, but you extend your ire to those who would simply acknowledge that these people exist!
We have seen police officers tried for killing minority citizens. The local mayor may warn the community that rioting and looting might ensue when the verdict is announced. If the officer is acquitted and rioting and looting do occur, do you believe that the mayor has endorsed it and he/she would cheer it as appropriate?  Your logic above suggests that you would find that mayor to be despicable!


20 million wasted.  While other competent countries are taking down any walls they have, we have this clown wanting to build one.


Yes, Ige give us our $1 and you can spend the rest on pork barrel.  Nobody can revitalize Rail. NOBODY!


"That's because oversensitive types flag anything they disagree with, civil or not."
Yes, you're right.  People like you do just that.


" If anyone is an unaccomplished leader it's Trump" & "You don't see protests in the street or in foreign countries over Trudeau's policy do you."

1: Never mind that Trumps been in power for less than 3 weeks, but just what has "the little potato" accomplished in 1.5 years besides balloon Canada's debt and some worthless virtue signaling?

2: No one protesting PMZ because the world knows that what he does doesn't really matter...


We took a similar approach to our kids; the streets were for cars and not playgrounds.  Our subdivision went in around 1980 and had two major attractions to us - sidewalks on one side of the streets with nearby Trails and Parks and Playgrounds. A real plus in that many of the houses had little if any back yard. Later subdivisions were allowed that had zero sidewalks in order to maximize the lot count for the developer.  We were faced with a developer in the '90s that had P&Z approval to add 40 houses to an already gross cut through problem; they had no back yards at all.  At one time city lot sizes were 15,000 sq ft minimum, today that size is driven only by fire code.  Sound familiar?


In the United States we incarcerate more people than any other country.  In Alaska we incarcerate too many people, notably Alaska Natives.

We should do better.  We can do better.


It's not just your end of the planet. We're seeing the same catastrophic decline in black-fronted terms (very very similar) here in New Zealand.


Exactly which of your rights are being violated? This is the most privileged, coddled group in history. There are hospitals devoted to your health concerns, a whole ministry dedicated to advancing your gender, preferential highering and advancement in any government agency, to many advocacy groups to mention and a media that is devoted to propaganda that will advance your cause, like this coverage, and yet you turn out In droves to protest how unfairly you are treated with knitted vaginas on your heads. Wow!, you go girl, fight the man, girl power...


You clearly make up things as you go along. How was it "so obvious from the start that trump was anti-Hawaiian and anti-American"? What facts do you use to claim that? You also imply that you're smarter than people who don't agree with you. You are part of the reason why republicans defeated clinton and the democrats last November. Your and their elitist snobbery turned off too many voters.


I already explained this, the Press was pretty friendly with Obama, in the whole of the press, there's only one that doesn't follow the same bent as the rest, and that would be Fox.

Obama has done the exact same damn thing Trump is doing, but only to the one entity that he disagreed with, but people are freaking out now? Shows you what a joke it is out there.

It's all the same.


The message from Nixle states this started on Wednesday. Inform friends and neighbors...look out for each other...this community is in deep trouble and it will take the community and it's leaders to get out of this scary place we are in.


You seem to not understand the word 'compatible'.   Maybe you need a Biology lesson.  By your use of the word 'compatible' then a person could be 'compatible' with an animal, as long as that's their 'preference', or water would be 'compatible' with your car's fuel system, as long as that was your 'preference'.   Your focus is on emotion and feelings, and not biological fact.    Feelings or desire does NOT change biological fact.   You are, in typical liberal fashion, distorting language and facts to suit your desires, instead of facing up to the truth of our biology.   Based on your statement that  "Gay men are only sexually compatible with other men", I guess you would also say that pedophiles are only sexually compatible with children?  After all, it's where their 'orientation' leads them, and since you define FACT based upon how a person 'feels Oriented' about something, it therefore must be true.   And regarding Incest, There are Genetic (Biology) incompatibilities (FACT).


Watch out!  Bill M103 could...
Oh, wait, I forgot, Bill M103 only protects one faith.
Carry on.


I see you don't like Trump; you are not alone. If it is any consolation, Hillary is worse: people around her and her husband have a nasty habit of dying. Don't try boosting Hillary by saying nasty things about the Republican nominee when your choice is a Wall Street bought war-monger.


Mr. B Scrambled,

Calling people "sore losers" is a great way to make friends on the otherside, do it much?
You try and make yourself sound reasonable and start with a sore loser comment.  You don't even being to understand what a Trump Presidency means to some people.  Good people that he demonized and ridiculed.  Obviously you don't know any of those people or you would understand why he deserves all those labels.  Maybe you do know "various minorities," so eloquently described, and you just don't care. Don't know you well enough to make that call.

Sky isn't falling down, true.  Doesn't mean we should lay down and take it from a guy who admires the way Putin operates his country.  Yeah, that would be un-American.


Ugotta B Kidding, Best comment of all the comments. Many agencies need to go away.


Actually, questioning someone's religion is freedom of speech, unseemly as it is.


Perhaps John Kawamoto will accept the data provided below or provide his sources of information.

Eight of out of 10 cases from the 9th Circuit reviewed by the Supreme Court are overruled, according to a 2010 analysis published by the American Bar Association. The 9th Circuit, which is known for its liberal tendencies, has the second-highest reversal rate of the 13 appellate courts below the Supreme Court.

"I got nuthin' to say to him" - Myeshia Johnson, October 23, 2017


There is alot of truth to this.

However:

Indian people did suffer under Apartheid too. Definitely not to the extent of black and coloured people, but a lesser degree of suffering must not be confused with being Apartheid beneficiaries.

Indian people generally have two characteristics that other South Africans can benefit from. A focus on getting a proper education, and a determination to work hard. Indians in first world countries like the US and Australia are very successful ( look at Google.)

Minority groupings all over the world look after themselves. Look at the JHB Somali community.

All being said:
What proportion of income tax/ VAT do Indians in SA pay despite being a minority?
How many employment opportunities do Indians in SA create despite being a minority?
What work does the many Indian charity organisations in SA currently do?
Is the problem Islam or Indian?

I agree that there are some nasty Indian folk. But I would have liked a little bit of detail from the author.


Tell me how much you pay for licenses to  photograph, paint  and view wildlife? What taxes do you pay on photographic equipment, viewing equipment and painting equipment that is earmarked for wildlife? The public interest is survival. If you choose not to be a hunter/gatherer fine. Some of us do. We pay for the opportunity. We hunters support wildlife and wildlife habitat with our money and volunteerism.


He's saying  it should be inclusive not that it is.


Their economy would start growing at double digits while ours would go back to Obama era growth. You will start to notice when the grocery stores are shuttered closed here.


Fact:  Hundreds of Valley residents are Killed or injured in the last 20 years, but the State has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars on low priority  roads, airports.bike paths, tourism, big oil tax breaks, ( S.B.21) billions each year goes back to the oil company's that used to go to us Alaskan's!


It certainly at or near the top of the list of health crises in the nation.  So many people, unaware of the reality, just thinks let the heroin addicts die.  But a great number of these addicts were given Oxycontin or Oxycodone and that was the beginning of their addiction.


"This country could hold over 160 million people no problem."

Tell us where exactly, that comment alone is proof of your breathtaking naivete.

BTW, how does opposing illegal migrants translate into racism?


a-r:  Not quite.  First, airport use fees are paid as part of the airfare and are charged to the air carrier thus the state collects regardless of who flies in and out of state maintained airports.  And all of those other fees you mentioned are factored into the rates charged the customers and are funneled through the port, etc to the state.


Same advisers...as for the results, the Liberals did win 3 majorities and I wouldn't be surprised they win a 4th - all it will take is to make nice with the PoS unions and teachers and the Libs will have bought another election.


Ironically, I believe he's a British Citizen... how colonial we've become!


"She was making sure that goods grown, built and produced in Lane County can get to market on time."

It figures that just below that statement on my page was an ad for a pot dispensary. So good to know Lane County's #1 crop will get to market on time.

Among other striking statements wss one emphasizing that "our children can get to school on time." If this transportation money doesn't go to widening neighborhood sidewalks and streets, I fear first period classes are going to be pretty empty. The school bus and kids on bikes too often have to wait for turkeys and geese to cross the street.


No and No.
Can't hardly get the VA to do their duty so why would I dip into those other wells.


Ever heard of 'the tone at the top'?


islandsun,

It won't be easy and will certainly take many years if not decades to play out, but if Warmbier’s family is willing to grasp at straws, then the only recourse I see is for them to begin a grass roots movement to have our government formally reestablish the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.  If such were to happen, then a lawsuit against the government of North Korea could next be filed in a U.S. federal court with the ultimate goal being a seizure of any assets should North Korea someday wish to engage in commerce with or within the borders of the United States.

It's sobering to realize that no monetary penalty eventually won, however large, would ever be likely to restore their son to them as he once was.  But I could understand the family's wish to pursue the matter to the bitter end because sometimes, the desire for vengeance is what gives us humans a purpose in this life.


As long as they file a suit against the occupy protesters first.


Never working for trump would be advisable as well.


I feel so bad for the working tax payers of Ontario about how they are being so badly mistreated by these green energy deep ecology buffoons.  They did vote for it though so they do deserve what they are getting.


Well, go on then. You can't very well dangle that tasty morsel in front of us and then leave, can you.


I"m wholeheartedly against having policians on our bills, unless it is a founding politician (i.e. first prime minister John A Macdonald).

When it comes time to replace the Queen on coins and bills, we have hundreds of worthy Canadians from which to choose.... why all this narrow-minded thinking that we must have politicians on bills?


Because it's our only real port to access the Arctic.


Why is it always the taxpayers who have to pick up the tab for the actions of corrupt or incompetent cops? Shouldn't these cops have at least some financial liability in these cases? Maybe the prospect of being utterly financially ruined for life would make some of these cops think twice about doing something stupid.


Joe don'the put dreams before reality. Having maintained and went into harms way with fellow shipmates all of my career with let's say seasoned flying machines. Some celebrating  birthdays more numerous than the folks flying them. Development of new procedures as well as equipment is a test of time. The military any military unit operates with the equipment it has on hand. The hand that holds, maintains and or operates the equipment is what decides the outcome of an engagement let's say.


Ooh, personal attack. Good call.

If you only count those shootings with AR-15s, then yes, you have only AR-15s to count. However, if you look at the actual data collected by Mother Jones and provided in the link I gave you, the data shows that handguns indeed are used more often than any other class of firearms in mass shootings. It's not even arguable.

Toxic masculinity, anger, mental illness are but some of the causes of mass shootings. Unless you are able to block all men from acquiring firearms of any sorts then these events will continue. It's how we manage prevention, shooter isolation and intervention that will reduce the frequency of them.


The column reminds me of a co-worker, his eyes damaged in the workplace in Toronto when corrosive liquid hit them.

And a man I met in Toronto, his hand crushed and bleeding and fingers dangling from tendons, from an industrial machinery accident half an hour earlier.

And when I was a student, a high school teacher who held up his bleeding, mis-shapen fingers that had just been pressed in a piece of woodworking equipment.

And police hovering around the construction man who fell off the roof, to his death, from an apartment just over from my sister's apartment.

And the body I saw of the dead highway worker, his body smashed by a delivery truck.

Off the top of my head I can think of dozens of incidents like that from my life, of men maimed and killed in industrial workplaces, where men are the victims 90 percent of the time.

And yet, in this newspaper, opinion columns about men like those are less than five percent the frequency of Weinstein-harassment-type columns.

Fascinating...


I wholey agree, then God can sort them out.
Or allah, if they prefer.


To clarify. I married my first wife while I was studying in 1988, she killed herself when my son was 15, in Dec of 2001.

So what's your point James? Everything I wrote is TRUE. Real name used, real pics posted, real email and website given. My story is 100 percent real. My wife also left JWs. My son is still alive and lives 3 miles away. My wife's daughter also left on her own. She was a reg pioneer when I wrote that disassociation letter.

Fact is the JW religion is just not what JWs like to think it is. And certainly not God's channel and never has been LOL

Otherwise I would have never left.

Vinny


Apostrophes clearly need more protection than pronouns...


Obama added more than 10 trillion to the debt. The left is crying over 1? It shows how detached and misinformed the left really is.


nope I trust!


8 bil for 1700 miles. hawaii rail can't even do 20 miles for 8.


"...federal tax incentives..." I stopped reading there.


It costs a lot of money to live in a rural area. Or you get by with less. Medical care is extremely expensive in the US. Rural areas cannot afford it. The best rural areas are adjacent to highly populated suburbs and cities.


Sounds like you will be forced to vote for Djou if he decides to enter the race. He fits your qualifications to a tee.


Now stop trying to play with the big boys, get back to your corner, and fix the ongoing problems of our local CITIZENS.


Which verse has the phrase "shaking up?"


You clearly just don't get it.


Tim: I didn't say anything about the early run. Perhaps you would like to address my point. Of all people you are surely aware of the mortality imposed on the Kings by the set net commercial fishery during July and August, some of which is factored and perhaps much of which is not, i.e. the  numbers that go unreported and the numbers of drop outs, none of which are accounted for. I am still interested to know how many REALLY big fish are killed and not accounted for by those contributions to mortality. . After all, Tim, the ADF&G attributes an 8 percent mortality caused by catch and release by the in river sports users when calculating total
Sports harvest, yet does not charge the commercial  net fishers for any drop outs or under reporting. And please don't claim there is no mortality associated with those activities. Because everyone knows better.  Doesn't seem fair to me. Still just wondering.


It is quite obvious that I have a career, unlike your illegal lobbying that can be charged for misrepresentation attacking and stalking Canadian Citizens with harassment.


Therrien may be on very shaky ground if Montreal loses the next three games. Francophone- Jullien is waiting in the wings.


Are you the Oregon Beinhauer or the Nevada lawyer Beinhauer?  or both?


Well if you have a way of avoiding death then please do share it. In the meantime the issue at hand is giving people some measure of control over their own inevitable end. It's called honoring personal freedom. Limiting the freedom of individuals( when their action causes no one else harm ) is the dangerous slope too many in this country ( and the world ) are setting us on.


So much bliss .....


"As long as they are the Republican sides", that's flat out not true. You obviously haven't watched Fox. I've seen all the move on.org stuff. Their arguments don't make sense. Do you agree with the people who fund all the anti Trump movements/protests? They are the same people that want open borders, etc. Not in your best interest. You see, I'm looking for out for you. It would n't be the same without your comments; remember, fair and balanced.


If you were familiar with the process you might draw different conclusions.


It doesn't take much to bring hate to the surface no matter where you live. I remember the separate unequal hospital wards for Blacks, the separate water fountains, the segregated churches, the unease of living in Virginia & Alabama in the 60's. Unfortunately supposed CHRISTIAN churches have played a role in their teachings and actions of intolerance. I have long supported the Southern Poverty Law Center from which I just received a certificate of appreciation. I do agree that the U.S. Justice system has failed in this area. Right now most Americans are not represented on the US Supreme Court. 5 Justices are Roman Catholic, 22% of population, 3 justices are JEWS, 3% of the population. CHRISTIANS, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, Buddhas, etc. Americans are not represented on the US Supreme Court. That is tragic.


Are you speaking about the 3rd Senator for Ohio?


Sounds like a Non Viable Demoncrat Solution, of Exporting the Problems created by Demoncrats to other States, Nations.

The Homeless must be forced to live with Democrats, this is so that Democrats finally realize that Voting Democrat has Consequences.

Ask yourselves what did Democrat President Obama do to Cause the Homeless Crisis at the 3rd World Democrat U.S. Island State of Hawaii, and 3 Years ago what did Democrat President Obama do to cause the Homeless Problems at New York City, Oregon, Washington State, California.


I'd take howdy doody anyday over a wood headed pinocchio


Wow, how lucky for Bell  customers. They got an apology. Maybe it is time for companies to face a law suit over these things.It has become nearly impossible to be a customer of any business without giving way to much personal / private information. There does not need to any new laws over this subject. It is merely common sense that if you collect information, then you are responsible for protecting that information.


Calling her Party a "conservative" party is a clear misuse of the term.


My point of the matter is...........If you think you can't do something, then you're right.


Yes, Citizens United, and it's unique subject matter, Hillary the Movie. Why did Hillary get fired at Peter Pan Seafoods in Valdez? Seems Peter Pan Seafoods has a Free Speech right, stating "Your Fired Ms. Clinton" Let us call, a Spade a Spade. Seems those unsanitary conditions at the henhouse, may have been detrimental to her employment. When you can't make it in fish, get into politics.
"In January 2008, Citizens United released a film entitled Hillary: The Movie . We refer to the film as Hillary . It is a 90-minute documentary about then-Senator Hillary Clinton, who was a candidate in the Democratic Party’s 2008 Presidential primary elections. Hillary mentions Senator Clinton by name and depicts interviews with political commentators and other persons, most of them quite critical of Senator Clinton. Hillary was released in theaters and on DVD, but Citizens United wanted to increase distribution by making it available through video-on-demand..." Mr Justice Kennedy for the majority!


Throw this lady , and millions like her out of our country . Men , women , and children here illegally need to be rounded up and thrown out .  Sympathy photos like this mean nothing.  Bank robbers and murderers can pose with they're families too---it doesn't change the fact that they broke the law.


I agree.  the idea that celibacy makes one closer to God is strange, from my perspective.


Trump just endorsed Paul Ryan and John McCain, so much for 'payback time' as the writer puts it.


Recycled piece?

Even my last year comment is still attached...


No double standard at all.  Everything is the fault of the Democrats  /s


I too plan to vote for Shay Chan Hodges. I'm glad we have a choice this time around, because I'm tired of all the hype that surrounds Tulsi. Her criticism of the president for not using the "Radical Islam" meme did not impress me at all, either.


Nope.  They cannot learn a single thing.

What a joke, she paid $1000 for her sons ticket.  There was no reason he should have been sitting in her lap.  They better damn well pay her good because that is pure bullshit.  A free ticket and her money back is not enough for this bs.  So sick of hearing about the money grubbing airlines.


Well it would be nice to live in the same America as you? Where those gifts belonged to black communities too, where people had the freedom to express themselves and it was a right guaranteed by a constitution. If they weren't black maybe they would feel the same way you do? But since they disrespected "her" should they have those rights revoked? If black soldiers die too will that give them the right to protest? I assume you must be black since you seem to understand the America they live in so well.


If the victim's family wants to know they should be told. If they don't want to know don't tell them.  Why does everything have to be so difficult...


VSB trustees playing political games. Good move by the government to get rid of them, they serve no useful purpose.


So sad...With Trump you'll really get "Doing things over and over" when he gets us into a war with Iran, just like Bush got us into Iraq.


21 mass shootings this year alone, there is something we can do,
and it's easy for us all to participate. It's time to vote Republicans out.
Clear the decks top to bottom starting now.


What? 90% of the youth in HK can't distinguish between China and Chinese?
That's pathetic, like an orphan.
Why not put on a mask and dye the hair? Then tell the Queen they're British subjects.


Could we just FINALLY get the coastal trail connected to Bird already???


Do you think "I disagree with your position, and here's why..." to be violence? because a lot of these activists sure do.


Medicaid expansion was a separate deal- and enticement for states to embrace ACA; subsidies paid while Obama was in office, now there is no more $$$ for the expansion and the states have to pay it all.  Is it crying time?
This person could not afford to pay the deductibles from and ACA obtained policy, even if he and his family could afford it.  Maybe it is time for the state to fund a state health care system using Permanent fund monies.  Let those with their own insurance have it (maybe even pay to go to state medical facilities), Then, Alaskans can see the positive impact of their state funds that goes directly to the people.  Enact laws that restrict the state provided care to only residents..


But no one is forcing Physicians to devote 7 days a week - which is not true.   You are falsifying the facts of a specialist training.
Its a choice - not entitlement.
You are only fueling entitlement.   By the way, I am a medical student and I am not drinking the cool aid .


So I guess you all are ok w a Russian puppet in the White House?


We should probably cry about the 1,000 other awful things the Trump administration is doing instead


You have the power, vote with your wallet, support local businesses that have a stake in the community, quit shopping at Wal-Mart & the other multinationals, your local spending supports the employees who will spend in your business, what goes around comes around.


This is not a "creative solution" as English puts it. It is the obvious, and wrong, solution of taxing hotels further.  People whine about Hawaii being an expensive destination and you can thank your lawmakers for that.  Taxes like this cause hotels to charge more when there are millions of dollars of taxes left on the table from airbnb and others.  This is not a creative solution, it is a cop out.  Mayor Caldwell claims to understand that how important the visitor industry is to the state and then he flops on an issue like this.  Pathetic all around.


Ok so we have area to agree on....what I offered is a very good option. If you do not want insurance that doesn't cover 1) pre existing conditions or 2) mammograms then choose another. It doesn't take a law for a bizness to provide these services, it takes people wanting them, aka demand.
 We should all want more options. I do not need a mammogram and will risk paying less against a pre existing condition. I buy other insurance for that.  You can choose what you want.
Tort reform does not eliminate ones ability to sue but it may reduce the quantity of ambulance chasing attorneys.
Live long and prosper


There you go with your own racist hate. Wow.


How's she going to cope with a PERA fix? She authored Amendment 23. A complete mess that still hangs around our state budget's neck each year. I have zero confidence in Kennedy's competence to be Governor.


Glad I was not there, it sounded painful. The bitterness this campaign has generated has been so ugly, it is hard to see where healing will start.


Preston Manning? The defender of Harper? He only rants against Liberal 'elites'. Meredith is a Tory 'elite'.


At some point the county will be forced to look at eliminating the union and start contracting services out which will improve performance and reduce costs.


This comment makes no sense. Is as if you said "You can't understand the ying without the yang." If you paid attention in that class it said when demand grows disproportionately faster than supply, then prices rise. Which is what the article says.


Nearly an entire day later, and all of 16 posts.

Yet there are a half dozen Trump/Russia articles that have multiple dozens to hundreds of posts..

One of the reasons Canada has many of the problems is that they simply don't care or understand the difference between what actually affects them, versus what is entertainment.

If low-information Americans are distracted by celebrity culture, at least it is American celebrities they are being distracted by.

The other day, on this topic, one poster wanted to know if any NDP or Conservative MINISTERS in this GOVERNMENT were taking advantage of the loophole.

If you do not see what is wrong with this...

Speaking of the USA, it is well known that people polled rate Congress at somewhere between 85-95% as corrupt.

Yet they re- elect their rep 97% of the time..."everyone else is crooked, but not my guy"....

Same inanity in Canada - you can have Conservative "ministers" in a Liberal majority government, apparently...duh.


Oregon Center for Public Policy July 2016:

Several weeks ago the Oregon legislature’s economists in the Legislative Revenue Office (LRO) came out with an estimate of how the proposal to raise taxes on large, mainly out-of-state corporations would impact the Oregon economy….

While the report fantasizes that a little bit of the costs will be passed along to consumers (another number well within the margin of error in a five year projection), its authors acknowledge the report did not consider the impact of internet sales and other factors that would limit the ability of affected corporations to stick consumers with the bill….
The decision whether to raise taxes on large, mainly out-of-state corporations is too important to be based on fantastic estimates. Oregonians need facts they can rely on — such as the fact that Oregon corporate taxes have declined dramatically over the decades.

I have received one stern reprimand for failing to grade as "uncivil" a comment that "violates community standards". The comment in question stated some outrageously sexist views, but did so in non-abusive language, so I graded it as "not a good comment" but "civil". The powers that be did not agree.


Actually, Dingwall was President of the Canadian Mint when he made these comments.   And it seems like Rona shares the same sentiments.


I love reading the 'lefties' posts here.

Many of the hard working folks out there that actually add to Canada's GDP support what Kevin stands for.  Many of those posting here know the they are in Kevin's crosshairs.

And rightly so.


Given the dynamic in general Irish living at that time, it's a very real possibility that the sisters at the time were understaffed, overwhelmed, and faced an impossible task. I really wish someone, anyone, would approach the story from that angle.  It's not like anyone rushed forward to give these unwed mothers a better scenario to carry their babies to term and get back on their feet again.


Characterizing students who study here and then gain permanent residence as "back door" immigrants is probably a little bit much, since it is explicit Canadian government policy to attract people permanently to Canada exactly by that route. But I agree it helps to explain some of the increased popularity, since Canada has only recently developed those immigration programs. I also think there are a lot of other positive spinoffs, some probably hard to quantify, from funding international graduate students to be here. The skill level of undergraduate students is a bit of an issue, but the same can be said of Canadian students. And the system is designed so that you get that less in graduate school, and also employers select against people who have not done enough work to develop their skills out, no?


No one is telling you that you have to chant.  But earlier waves of immigrants certainly brought new cultural practices that were as disruptive at the time as new immigrants do today.


Maybe someone should give Hillary an honorary title of president for having participated in the election so that these crybaby snowflakes can  simply go away. To think that I was once a supporter of the Democrats. They haven't stopped embarrassing themselves since the election. Unbelievable the lengths and depths they are willing to go to in order to avoid facing their self-inflicted failures.


Thank you Bill Miller for your service to us all.   And to you too Debbie all your hard working in Dispatch!    Thank you Both!!!!!   Represent!!!!


I'd like to see photos of the kids. I can only imagine...


Ouch. At least they are not stupid enough to hand it over to Californians.


Does it really matter? The only way this guy is gonna get the oilies to talk is hypnotism.


I was going to ask who opened the crypt.


1,362 days assumes there will be no impeachment.  That's not a safe assumption.


I was worried when I saw that Joe Papa got only $83 million last year.  Then I noticed that he also received almost $69 million in equity grants, which made me feel better.  After all, Valeant's share price is down about 50% since Papa took over.  I'm sure Papa feels really bad about that and needs some cheering up.


Ahhh, the intellectual firepower of Squigly is truly impressive.  Lights up the sky.


Uh,  so those people being barred from going to the US are in no way involved with Canada?


24 of the Top 25 Mass Shootings in the US occurred after 1970, with most of those occurring after 1980.
-
There was a "fundamental shift" in our society's thinking around 1970 that influenced an entire general to change its opinion on how life is to be valued.....and that "change" and "shift" caused the "sudden surge" in mass shootings in "this generation."


"The US health care system used to cover everyone,..."

Your post is a fabrication from A-Z.

What Reagan actually changed was to introduce the same limit-per-procedure as employed in Progressive systems like Sweden, and similar to the way the DoD stopped paying $100 got $1 ashtrays


"During legislative sessions, members are not required to conduct all of their business in Juneau, and frequently travel to their home districts or other places for meetings. It is an important aspect of representing a diverse constituency," Logan wrote. "Members claim per diem during session to offset the cost of maintaining a home in their district and lodging expenses in Juneau. Traveling does not alleviate that double expense."

HUH???.. the "double expense" of going to Germany on vacation?????


* Using the Obama created program- DACA, 800,000 illegal aliens has funneled 800 THOUSAND jobs away from American Citizens.

*$17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.

*$3Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens, I repeat 3 MILLION a DAY to process Illegals in the Criminal justice system.

*$2.2Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as SNAP (food stamps),WIC, & free school lunches for illegal aliens.


Your comment is racist.


A problem that has come up a few times occurs when a vehicle turning right doesn't see the cyclist bombing along with an equally unobservant cyclist. The cyclist will lose, every time. The green lane only serves to give some of them an unhealthy sense of stupidness. The lanes should be yellow so everyone takes extra caution at a potentially dangerous location.

On a related note; we have a few councils around who are pushing the bicycle lanes with little to show they are needed. I'm out and about every day but rarely see any cyclists in the full vehicle sized lanes they are granted. They also don't need to be on a major artery where traffic is already over crowded. Pushing them a block or two over will keep them safer. Total access isn't a requirement simply because they whine about it.

If safety was the true reason then cyclists would not pass vehicles but rather travel in line like everyone else and take their turn in sequence. I see it happening but often enough.


And trees cause the wind to blow.


Time to boycott Under Armour and Campbell's Soup.


Up until now we have not seen Trump blatantly elbowing a female on her breasts.

Hey, if it was done by Trudeau, it wouldn't constitute as a sexual assault. The liberal press will reassure  us right away, this was 'an unfortunate accident'.
lol


The utter madness of Rump and the clear and present danger he presents to this country have moved way beyond party politics. This not a democrat vs. Republican thing: it is imperative that all thinking Americans, regardless of political affiliation, realize an unhinged monster is about to take over and destroy this country.


God is helping us, yes. Always.


It's okay Dill we could campaign together for Durkan or Moon (if they will help me get the drug dealers off my Ballard street.... Do not think NO will help with that issue.


Wie has the physical capabilities to be a golf champion but something is not quite not there in the mental toughness area.  Don't keep up with Wie or womens golf but do know when Wie was young her UH professor father was her coach & has had a string of coaches.  Too many dynamics going on with Wie including the aspect of the father living vicariously through her daughter in her formative years.  Yes, Wie has made lots of money to support herself & her parents but would like to see her one day put it mentally & physically together for her to win some of these tournament to reach her full potential. Parents mean well, but seems they cannot step back and find a golf coach, a former champion him/herself who understands the philosophy & technique of being an effective coach for Wie to giver her the tools to get her to reach the next level.  Sort of like the movie Karate Kid & how Pat Morita enabled Ralph Macchio to defeat a bull & win a Karate tournament w/ technique & the right attitude.


There are Muslims living in the country since before you were a bad dream.


Buster (et al.)
To begin, there is NO way, under American or any other known system of justice, to properly serve "justice" for the loss of a limb, one's innocence, or even pain.  Like it or not, we've settled on a system where the best we can do is to offer money or property.  That's far from perfect, but  the usual alternative is "an eye for an eye..."  So if the complaint is that money isn't appropriate, you're probably right.  Alas, nobody has yet found a better solution.

As to complaints that priests haven't had their day in court, the VAST majority of the blame there is the bishops.  They've done all they could to keep cases OUT of the courts, and all too sadly, they did that on the backs of the victims and their families.  That's also a scandal.

Finally, there's this.  At the end of the day, bishops ARE supposed to be better: moral leaders, knights for justice, fonts of compassion, etc.  They've fallen short on every level. Their refusal to accept accountability says it all.


Yes but there aren't any in Canada and it's completely preventable
Moral relevance Sher, hello !!!!


If I get this article correctly the author is upset because PRIVATE charity did not flow into PR like it flowed into FL or TX. So? It is private charity. No need to then say since the PR citizens on the mainland are too cheap to support PR we need the government to do it. This is exactly why PR is a basket case.


Conversely, reading the following in this article how could anyone think ACA would work?
“Now that I have a child I’m considering seriously moving back to Florida and giving up my Nashville dreams to work for a corporation,” said Potter. “That way I can at least be certain my child and I will have coverage.”


Byrd renounced racism and the KKK.
You've been carrying that red herring around w/you
for so long that it's starting to smell.
Oh ....
That's not the herring?


on the face of it, the article does not give much detail on the actual claims made by the workers - just broad statements.  it also sates that the Ilikai is a MIXED-USE building with both hotel rooms and residential units.  now part of the staffing and task problem may stem from that one particular dichotomy.  the Ilikai personnel may be comparing themselves to pure hotel establishments.  as pure hotel establishments, the personnel has to deal with only one type of "guest" accommodations which may be more rigidly planned and designed to be more uniform.  my interpretation (not professional) is that the residential type accommodations may tend to be more furnished and have more floor space due to the more personal nature of the ownership and use.  if the Ilikai personnel is caring for both types of units then i can see the difference in the work loads.  now if the residents had to care for or pay someone to do their housekeeping which was in addition to the "regular/normal" duties.


It's time to move on.  Some games just have bad officiating. That's part of sports. Even after taking away the 2 CSU TDs, they had plenty of opportunities to score and get back in the game. CU handed them the ball over and over in the second half and the CSU offense completely stalled. That's what Rams fans should be the most worried about, not a few bad calls.


It would be interesting to know if there is a "red line" and if there is, exactly what it is.

This morning NK said that the last launch over Japan was preparation for an attack on Guam.

Violating Japan's air space and international law is something NK can get away with, but maybe Guam would be a missile launch too far.

The NK provocations are providing cover for both Iran and Pakistan to expand their WMD and ICBM programs as well while they cooperate with NK to advance their weapons' systems.

Your "funny" reaction to the world lurching toward war is odd, but it is not unusual among DP readers and staff, the vast majority of which do not care if the US is destroyed or not.  Indeed, domestically, they are doing their best to destroy America with politically-correct nonsense.

BTW.  For the 12th time, have come to a conclusion about GMD defense?

One theory about why Patriot and Aegis missiles were not deployed against the NK missile that flew over Japan is that they don't work.


"Trump must to a good part of the racists blame that he unleashed from start to finish of his fraud-elect campaign." This line makes no sense at all.


Did you see this crazy faka on tv? Boy is pure straight up mental. Keep him in New York - more bettah for all of us here. Dis boy one primo lolo - his elevator don't go to the top floor. Stay away folks only bad news ahead with dis one.


As a matter of fact, a large number of comments who favour the ban and call the niquab what it actually is (which I will not repeat so I don't have my comment erased again) have been deleted by the G&M. If a poll or a referendum were  conducted, 90% of Canadians would be against the niquab. On the other hand 100% of the articles and editorials on CBC and G&M support the blessings of the niquab. Reminds me of the Pravda in the good old days of the Soviet Union.


My heastfelt prayers to all in harms way...........OH!  That might be me?  Yikes.  Be safe everyone.


.

Baldwin et al are getting lots of kudos for their performances skewering Trump and his staff.

I'm not impressed.

Anyone could look funny ridiculing the Trump administration.

You don't have to be a brilliant comedian or writer to make The Gong Show appear to be absurd.

Nthing in this article states or implies that union membership had anything to do with the decision to close the plant.  There's less farming going on here in favor of other development and traffic to Seattle is a nightmare cost wise.

Union workers and non union workers lose jobs for a variety of reasons and there's little to no evidence that unionization leads to job losses at a greater rate than non union positions, Boeing is laying off non union workers in North Carolina too.  However deregulation and pro corporate tax policies tend to result in lower paying employment with higher turnover and job loss.

Nice try though.


So you don't believe Canada should be a free country for the poor?


Yes Donald. Here, take your meds.


“A person who wants to kill themselves, will kill themselves,” Olsen said.

But all suicides are not from people truly wanting to kill themselves. Guns do increase the success rate, unfortunately. Like most rules, there has to be a weighing of how this may deprive some people of their 2nd amendment rights to own a gun versus how this may save the lives of murder-suicide victims and suicides that may have lived if guns were not available. My inclination is to be on the safe side, but for others the 2nd amendment might be more of a priority.


More Faux News?

No wait, that's pronounced "Fox News" and they only tell the truth.

We know that the Trump Administration would not allow our President to (1) suck up to our worst enemy (2) threaten any of our Constitutional Rights (like speech) (3) put his family's fortune before the Country's by doing business deals while in office (4) lie, cheat, or steal (5) play more golf than Obama (6) spend any Tax-Payer money that shouldn't be spent on his un-necessary travel/security to/at his NYC or Florida homes (7) speak before thinking (8) mess up our foreign relations.

Right?


It is possible to be a responsible drinker.  A person convicted of felony drug charges has no business raising children.


If the writer is saying that HC is Obama part II, then we need to dissect the inaccuracies of the premise. If you think Tarp & Tarp II were failures, discuss why. If you think the GOP stifling reregulation was constructive then you won't be able to complain about Tarp III 6yrs from now. HC would likely do what needs to be done, trump would apparently default on the national debt and declare bankruptcy. I'm sorry if you think it didn't matter. We can agree to disagree.


I find it amazing that when the White House announced that Trump wanted to meet Francis that the Pope had to publicly announce that no one had contacted the Vatican. Francis had to tell the world the protocol for setting up a Papal audience that Trump had not followed.
Malign-ia will not be able to make the journey because of baby sitting duties. In her place Trump will be accompanied by his assistant Iyankya (sporting a Hugo Boss designed black copa cabana magna and matching stilettos). trump plans to upstage Queen Elizabeth's gift to Francis by presenting him with three cases of Viginia's finest trump brand wine and a box of steaks.

The only complaint Trump will have is the fake news reporting about how small the crowd is when he enters the Vatican.


They should station multiple ICE agents at every courtroom in denver every day and scoop up as many illegal aliens as they can.  Keep doing it until the illegal alien lovers in the administration change their practices.


After investigating big Bill, they may want to investigate the "no spin" zone. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.


That would reveal heresy, not apostacy. Apostacy is if an al Queda or Daesh terror squad kidnapped you while on foreign travel and commanded you convert or die and you converted or if I were elected and my secularist comrades came to you and demanded you renounce God in order to keep working in a socialized cooperative that used to be where you work or you would be fired. Not quitting would be apostacy. Quit using the term incorrectly. It does not mean dissent or even academic curiousity. If you are copying some bishop or pope who used it the wrong way, it is still a misuse of the term.


Thant would be nice, but to learn one needs brains...


This tale tells us loud and clear that being born with only one kind of intelligence isnät nearly enough to make it through life.  How is it that someone with this kind of income is not better off by now?

But really it's not the income that is missing, it's how it's spent.  Some people really live on another
planet.  I figure I can live on 27 000 and still keep my house and cottage and car.  And travel some.
But my grocery bill isn't 1000 a month and none of my expenses are anything like the good but foolish doctor.   It's hard to take people like this seriously.


That's pretty much what you're trying and it doesn't work, given everything I just said. People aren't going to stop - you might as well make sure they do so safely, even if you prefer they don't do it at all. Those two things do not have to be at odds.


They prohibited men with deep seated homosexual tendencies from the Priesthood. Maybe too late but it seems to be working.

Come January I'm dumping all my Canadian equities.  I'll take advantage of our current capital gains rules while we can.

Going to increase my US holdings, and the balance in cash.

Under our current administration.....Canada is done!


A great letter from a high info voter.  The truth hurts and libs are squealing like a stuck pig over this one.


Kinda felt the same way about Scalise when I heard what he was all about ,not good at all.......maybe it was karma paying him back. He needs to blame Trump for getting shot.


Political correctness gone amuck. Sad, sad, sad


Perhaps you should check your own "facts." Votes cast in advance are not counted on election day. And unless there are sufficient of them cast in any given riding to alter the outcome, they are never counted. Example:

Candidate A = 1500 votes on election day
Candidate B = 1000 votes on election day
Advance votes = 250 in total

The total number of advance votes cannot change the outcome of the election, so they aren't even counted. On the other hand, if Candidate B had 1200 votes to Candidate A's 1300, the advance votes would be counted.

You're welcome.

This represents a financial loss to the US, more than just the direct losses experienced from those turned away. Being connected to a lot of wonderful Americans is helpful in not getting too negative about this, but I'm still going to visit less than I otherwise would, and not for fear of being turned away.


The Trump fans "may" have done as you say, but the HRC throngs DID burn and loot in the cities.  Actions speak louder than words.


Ah, but under our current Trudeau government, that would be nicht erlaubt.

Another conspiracy theory to keep the orthotoxic in a knicker knot for a few daze.


The Permanent Fund is now self-sustaining, needing no monies from oil.
The oil companies aren't going to go away, even if we place a higher tax or take away the subsidies, they are still making a huge profit.
When the oil runs dry we hope that our leaders will have thought to diversify the returns as those who set up the Permanent Fund did.
Working together doesn't mean we are just going to pull our pants down and bend over for Lower 48 companies.


Poor John.


Please give more effort to reading than merely recalling one's favorite and narrow interpretation, influenced by SJW theology.

The entire Scripture is the word of God, by the way.

Perhaps you might want to reflect on Matthew  25 (or Matthew 13:47-52)

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

Revelations (Word of God) 21: "8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur."

or St Jude 1-7: " In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."

Or Jesus's teaching St Matthew 5:27-29, specifically on sexual immorality: http://www.usccb.org/bible/matthew/5


You would have to read the article, VCifuentes. Immunization for many communicable diseases does not effectively exist if the immunized person lives in an un-immunized population. Very high numbers -  70% to 95% of the population (the "herd") - must be immunized.

It seems likely to me, a layperson in the matter, that urban and suburban population densities are not possible without immunization and other public health programs like water treatment. Ants seem to be able to live in very high population densities, but humans and other large mammals and birds cannot. Ask any farmer about farm animals, and what a risk it is to bring a non-immunized animal into the herd. If the herd is not nearly completely immunized, and the new animal is carrying a communicable disease, the herd could all be gone in a month.

300 people on an airplane or in a seniors long term care home, a hundred children in a school, a few thousand wandering a mall, tourist site, or religious convention, are all herds.


Left out of this historical rendition is the fact that the U.S.A. through its "intelligence" agencies funded and armed Bin Laden's complement of terrorists as part of the Cold War with the USSR.  Unlimited funds buried in the classified budgeting for the forever war components of our secret, black operation armies created Bin Laden and continue to waste resources throughout the world.   Worst of all, Dick Cheney ordered the Bin Laden family living or visiting the U.S. to be flown out of the country while all other airplanes were grounded on and after 9/11.  The administration knew the perpetrators were Saudi Arabian and connected to Bin Laden.  Their oil connections to Saudi Arabia were more important than the country's security.  The sole source contractin for billions for Halliburton certified their treason.  All of them should be in Guanatamo for the rest of their life.


It's clear that the lobbyists for the rich are winning the minds and souls of the uneducated.  This is how the Republicans are stealing everything from the lower classes and giving to the richest of the rich.  Keep drinking the kool-aid and just write a cheque to your nearest billionaire.


Why does the Globe and Mail give Don Cherry a platform to spew garbage?     Toronto Sun maybe but come on Globe and Mail - grow up.


Couldn't have said it better!!


The base benefit may be contractual, but suppose your original retirement base benefit is $4000 in 2007 and with annual increases it goes up to $4700 in 2017.  For example, the legislature can cut your benefit back down to the original base benefit of $4000 in 2018. It would be prudent for retirees to know this possibility and budget accordingly.


The combined Federal and Provincial Liberal assault on small business is unprecedented. Stop wasting time. Just nationalize everything now.


I don't understand. Our Courageous Bishops were quite clear that Mr. Trump was their choice, and thus God's choice, for President, and he said all along this was something he was going to do. Why should they be upset that he is actually doing what he said he would do?


Nice pic, but not Moraine Lake, not Banff National Park, and not Alberta.
It's Lake O'Hara, Yoho National Park, B.C. — which certainly doesn't need promotional help through the free pass, as every bus spot and every campsite sold out as soon as the website opened this week.


With a world wide over supply of oil pushing prices lower, do we need more oil? Where solar electric production has surpassed that of coal, where fewer cars are being bought, fewer miles driven, do we really need more oil? With the evidence of burning based fuels being the major contributor to global climate change, do we really need more oil? Wouldn't it be better to invest the money into the technology that will power the 21st century and not that of the 19th. Conservation issues aside, this is bet on the past, not the future.


We want to see Cladwell's rail spending and want a forensic audit. We want to know where $15-billion of taxpayer money went! No one cares about Trump's personal funds and how he blew them.


He was also a traitor to the kingdom, defied the president of the Unites States, broke international law, and enriched himself at the expense of the sovereign of the Hawaiian people.


No, and if your reading comprehension were just that of a third grader, you wouldn't have needed to ask your question, as you would have understood that my reply was responsive to another commenter who didn't engage in much reading comprehension either when he implied that she made no effort to be legal. Ya see, RadirD, there are many paths to citizenship and legal residency besides being born here.


If these aren't terrorism, what are they?  Oh, only French acting like total nuts as usual.


My forefathers fought for American independence in the actual Revolution.  Be it noted, the Revolution was fought with firearms and the first shots were fired when the Brits foolishly tried to seize the arms of the colonists.

The foundation of the Second Amendment is that citizens here are sovereign, not the government, which was intended to be subservient.

We do not need, or appreciate, advice from a member of the House of Lords on the meaning of our founding charters, much less on what measures ought to be adopted here to eliminate our civil right to do what freemen have always done:  keep and bear arms.


Noenoe, you can see that the aina and the kai have been abused.  The vast majority of the abuse is done by industry.  Primarily fishing and agriculture. We can boycott the stores but we also have to stop fertilizer run off, invasive species, and greed.  Also the government cannot allow its regulators to become corrupted.  It licensing and regulatory departments to turn their heads.  We have laws that are not enforced.  New laws must be put in place.  Preserve and protect should be a the top of each citizen mind..  Greed, money and elected officials make for a bad situation that only we as citizens can change.  Thank you for your comments.  The people can make the difference.


Saullie: such  Atlantean  wisdom deserves a "post to post" analysis sport, so  try and be patient with your borrowed analysis, such enthusiasm glitters too much on here. Were the Preds big five not on the ice or were they hanging out at Rochester By The Pond?  Oh  poor Pekka, couldn't stand on his head could he -- so much for the lone wolf in hockey, huh?


And you assuage that anger in Canada by making big hand outs to big business.


Of course economic growth, driven by capitalism, leads to lower birth rates and declining populations. Just look around.


So because another system is really awful, ours is then justified?


"He lamented the steady stream of gun violence, accidental or intentional, affecting Anchorage."

...And responded by imposing the lowest possible sentence. That should solve the problem!


Repeal now!!  Let's get back to how it was in 2007!


Begins? If we ever truly got out of the last one interest rates wouldn't have been stuck at close to zero for close to 8 years. The only other time in history rates have stayed this low was after the Great Depression and only World War II got us out of that. All this banter over 25bps.


Numerous slices of pizza should be permitted providing a helmet is worn until digestion is complete.  Cartwheels, on the other hand, are absolute menaces to society and any child performing one should be severely disciplined before such behaviour is allowed to spread!


BoyleBarry: They are paying them in Mexico but Trump is concerned about the US.


Time for change!  The Liberals will bleed us to death, then bleed our children to death. Its time to make the Liberals pay, and get them out of office ASAP!


Ah Yes! That ever elusive socialist utopia. It has been tried again and again, but there is always some group that believe in that fantasy and the only reason it failed some many times is because the right people just didn't do it correctly. When in fact if you just look at the basic tenant of socialism you would see it violates almost every rule of human nature. Trying to convince some people to work harder and be more productive so other people won't have to work at all, just doesn't sit well in the long run.


Uh, Ok ....<slowly backs  out of the room>

Next thing you know, we'll face the same legal disclaimers we get during televised NFL or MLB games:  "No indigenous content or images may be used without the expressed consultation with, involvement with, and approval of the AFN or its affiliates."


I think it's time for a good old fashioned hanging in downtown Palmer.


Does the B-ball coaches contract require him to suit up for the Warriors football this fall?  What's with this headline?  Is SA having trouble finding journalists?


Are you daring to suggest that Trudeau's brains are in his Butts?  If that is so, perhaps The Clown Prince should have said that we will grow the economy outward from our butts instead of from our hearts.  And while I agree that Butts is by far the brainier of this duo, the PM's  arrogance, petulance, impatience to get his own way and disdain for others is inherited from Papa Pierre.  So Trudeau 2.0 shares the blame and is ultimately responsible for the cynical power grab machinations since he was elected and cannot simply pass the buck to Butts.

But thanks for reminding me of the popular British sitcom "Yes, Prime Minister" in which the chief of staff/permanent secretary Sir Humphrey wears the long pants and the PM is basically a shallow figurehead.

Didn't the LPC recently fund raise by selling life sized cardboard cut outs of Trudeau?

How appropriate!

so the Republicans want to gut the state education budget and slash the UAA budget -  but they think it is a good deal to pony up $32 million for an office building they don't need.  And Anna's response is essentially -if you stick your nose in our business - there will be payback....instead of providing some sort of justification for the purchase?  Something stinks.....follow the money trail and the truth will set you free. I would expect elected officials to NOT act like a fifth grader on Dance Moms...but one can only hope.


Bottom line, Charles, you're gonna set an example, hire a couple of paroled sex offenders to babysit your kids?
Maybe Charles could write a law to prevent discrimination against sex offenders in the day-care industry?


And while trump and his band of merry mendacious miscreants, once again lead the media and the population down the rabbit hole, no one is paying attention to the fact that for all intents and purposes he still running his business, is likely at this moment in numerous conflicts of interests, etc. etc.  What has his daughter done with her businesses, is it enough that his son in law has simply given his business over to his mother?

These are same people who railed against HRC and was insisting that her husband had to close down his foundation if she won the election.  When is the media going to get a grip?  smdh.


"LAWS are fluid, man-made and can be changed. They are not chiseled in stone and mounted in the public square"--The same applies to executive orders.


It is better to look at the positive requirements to engage in freetrade rather than things like "authoritarian government"as a barrier. For us to engage in free trade the partner should: have a strong a reliable system that embraces the rule of law in place, similar labour and human rights, similar environmental standards and enforcement and similar sector by sector wages in key areas of the economy. These are minimum requirements. And I would trust anybody who starts off suggesting hurry, hurry get on on a deal before it is too late, suggesting Trump is coming, Trump is coming entry our embrace. And I would not trade everything else away just so China will buy lots of oil.


Your example indicts the point which you believe yourself to be making. That is fitting, as anti-sexism has become as weaponized as anti-racism has. The basic problem is that moralism does not address the material bases of exploitation. For example, women enjoy 'pornography' too and many make their livelihoods by acting in it. Also, the effect of men having access to porn quite likely has a cumulative beneficial effect for society.


When you get some footage of a black cop shooting an unarmed white guy that isn't resisting feel free to post it anywhere.  That would be a travesty of justice too.


Show some respect.... it's Prime Minister Little Potato..... and no, he does not work.  I think most Canadians thought they were voting for a leader, not a mascot.


I think this a valid point......
Progressive Catholics are undoubtedly cheering the pope on as he chooses new cardinals, while conservatives are gnashing their teeth. I must remind my progressive friends that every change has unintended consequences.


That criminals don't obey laws dummy.


Cadillac Fairview will feel this, although their management team has been asleep for years.   Their incompetence is masked by the funding of the pension board.


Kimonos are offensive?!

When I visited Japan, a highlight in Kyoto was going to a place that dressed us up as geishas and samurais. There were also young Japanese doing the same thing, dressing up in costumes they no longer get to wear in everyday life, trying to recapture some of what that would have felt like.

We walked out to get photos taken, and Japanese people walking by smiled at us, realizing this was an act of appreciation for an amazing culture, not an insult.

Dressing up in period costumes or the clothing of a different culture isn't necessarily "appropriation" or insult, it can be homage. It's all in the context and the intent, but I guess that's too subtle for the PC police.


BTW, you're wrong that a large majority of the Democrats are so disillusioned and disgusted with Clinton and, in fact, favor of Sanders. Clinton won so you guys are in the minority.

The thing is, Sanders was my first choice...but he didn't win...so I'm supporting Clinton. If your contention is that, since Bernie didn't win, the "principled" thing to do is to attack Clinton and (as a lot of Bernie supporters are saying) vote for Trump in order to put Clinton in "her place"...well then I just don't understand it.

Explain to me, Paul, how someone who supported Sanders until it was clear he lost ends up as the target of the "feel the Bern" firing squad? And that is just what the disgruntled Sanders supporters sound like...a firing squad hell bent on purifying the party...much in the same way the lunatic right is doing to their party.


If you are working Mark Twain that is not what he said.  Who are you quoting, yourself?


I fully support the UO track and field programs that are world class because of a long list of events, coaches, athletes, alumni donors and facilities improvement.  Anyone remember Rick Wohluter and Dave Wottle burning up the track at the Olympic Trials? All students with all abilities have so much more choice to engage in physical exercise along side academic pursuit than ever before (and no concussions).

WRONG....recall last year at this time folks were yappin' about cauliflower costing $6.99/head! haha


Makes you wonder the way sociologists and politicians speak if there's the expectation for law abiding ctitzens to adapt to the criminal element on the streets with there being so much in the news saying guards and the prisoners themselves can't deal with it in prisons.

The RCMP are arresting and detaining them under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and turning them over to Canada Immigration for processing.

There is a very good legal reason why refugee claimants (not asylum seekers which are a completely different class of persons) are not being charged in respect of their entry to Canada.

Under Article 31 of the 1951 Convention on Refugees Canada has undertaken to not prosecute refugee claimants for illegal entry into Canada including any issues of false documents or fraud relating to that entry.

Canada has enacted that exemption into our domestic law as required by the Convention in various iterations of our immigration legislation over the years. Currently that exemption is contained at s. 133 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

So no charges because the law exempts refugees recognizing that refugees who are fleeing persecution are different from other migrants.


Yeah you'll "survive". If you are a white cis gendered male that makes over a certain dollar amount per year. The exception will be poor and old white men. They will be left uncared for or killed,  along with everyone else.


Last I knew the president is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and is not required to consult with Congress, and especially not with any civil rights commission before making military policy.

What they did was small potatoes compared to what today's terrorists do. The American Revolution was actually accomplished with relatively little bloodshed, and few if no atrocities.

It's amusing to watch what all of the self-proclaimed experts have to say on the subject of climate change - from ball angles.  I've simply chosen to be amused by it all, because there is really nothing that I can do one way or another to change the conversation or influence the climate. Whatever will be will be.


I don't know what parish church you belong to, but I have never encountered in the more than and estimated (it may be more) one hundred and fifty parish churches and cathedrals I have been in, any church that has removed all that you complain of, Ebes64.  Never.  Or of the "removal" of "sinful behavior" you find so disturbing.  You may well be talking about some other Church than the RCC. 'Cause I don't recognize yours.


20 years in the gulag. Make her work in the sawmill.


the vagina tape? is that the one with the monologue?

or maybe you mean the secret penis transcripts from brazil or the missing buttocks documents the brits uncovered a few years back?


Most of the anonymous writers here, that so forcefully proclaim you to be wrong..do so because they can hide from the responsibility that facts require....it's easy for them to spout off and say anything most self respecting people would never say. It's a;lso easy from them to change their screen name, I think it's kind of cowardly to call a man a liar ,,,while hiding behind a mask...
Most self respecting people try and not to pass on deception..they feel fine with the truth...
I have watched your posts and and the attacks that come from that...
I have also watched the denial of reality that these same anonymous characters show by the responses they make...
Thanks Johann  and others for standing your ground and refuting their claims with the facts of the matter..


F series pickups are easier to get in and out than any low to the ground car that I have ever been in.  Parking is a skill.  practice will help you get better if you are so inclined.

The statement that ypou make up for F series trucks in your m ind is of no consequence to anyone other than yourself.  I feel that your bitterness is well earned and you can take that for what it is worth.


Nope. There are limits on quantity of plants, product and OLCC licensing is required to be a seller.


The Holy Spirit moves through that God given intelligence.  Apostles are not just the the Twelve, but every witness to the resurrection.  When the last of these died, Pastors inherited their role of witnessing the resurrection of Christ.  As for natural law, it is the province of everyone who uses reason.  It does not depend on authority, indeed when authority is used to overrule the results of reason, it is only because it has lost the argument.

In pre-Vatican II days, there was a large infrastructure of censorship to keep all teaching in line, with scholars required to seek Imprimater and Nihil Obstat from their local ordinaries and the Holy Office overseeing it all and the Index used to condemn anyone who resisted. Vatican II and the papal decrees implementing it destroyed most of this nonsense.  Now condemnation by CDF is a badge of honor and a way to sell more books.


There is proof of this, the Emails between Duduzane Zuma and Bell-Pottinger show us EXACTLY where this notion of Evil WMC comes from.

Absolutely.  He'll most likely say: "I gave you myself in the Eucharist for your help and comfort.  Why didn't you let me help you? Why did you listen to that bunch of Pharisees who think people were made for the Sabbath and not vice versa? Why did you stay away for so long?"


Walmart could choose to pay their employees a higher wage without doing ANYTHING extra on the receipt.  But Walmart doesn't, because Walmart doesn't have to.  And so Walmart won't. End of story. Don't like it? Shop elsewhere.


Lawyers and LAW FIRMS need to be accountable for ensuring AML laws are adhered to, and need to balance that with meeting client obligations.   Law firms that can't support this need to close down.

I'd suggest that contract flipping can occur provided there is total transparency among all the parties as to the original contract VALUE (i.e., purchase price) and the identity of the original seller.   Make it clear and legally enforceable as to who is:  i) primarily responsible; and ii) secondarily responsible. to the "second" purchaser in the event that the "second" seller doesn't meet their obligations to the "second" purchaser.   Obligations include things like ensuring contracts for utilities are transferred in a timely manner to the second purchaser and all essential communications are redirected to the second purchaser (examples would be for things like condo deficiency inspections and Tarion Warranty programs).   Right now, it's an opaque crapshoot for the second purchaser.


Hey MoiLee, received ours a couple of days ago.  Going frame ours.  It's real nice.


The point that I took and I am sure that many others did was that Democrats were stealing mail so they could vote more ballots. As I said, bring your proof to the DA. Otherwise you are assumed to be full of hot air and your future comments are not worthy of thought.


I absolutely love watching her play, her smile is so infectious!! Can't wait for tonight's game!!


Nah, forgetting your descent into hysteria for the moment, Vos Canadiens are closer to 10th than 1st.

Their record in reg sees them 7th overall.  7th is closer to 10th than 1st.

In goal dif, 8th.  8th is closer to 10th than 1st.

What's distorting their record to the + is their 13-9 record in extras--nothing fantastic, but it's better than those other teams around them that you dismiss.

As Johnny Dollar has posted all season, Vos Canadiens are a top 10 team in a watered-down salary cap NHL which has way too many teams.  But closer to 10th than to 1st.

And Lamont Cranston couldn't carry Boston Blackie's jockstrap.  Nor did he need strange mystical powers in order to thwart crime.

And his girlfriend was better looking.


A pseudo-academic journalist turning "vision into reality?" If I had a dollar for every time I have head "I'm an ideas man..." lol.


Got to build one of those Logan's Run rooms for state employees when they turn 65 😀

With a "varmit" like "Pudgy Un", that's hardly a bad thing....


You don't respect independence and intelligence, Mr. Malone?  You just want mindless, lock step, Mr Malone?  She has a reasoned position that may be quite helpful.


I did not say he was making up the prejudice that Clay suffered.

Everyone knows it, and agrees with it.

However, My post had nothing to do with that, OW was implying that the medal in river story not being true also suggests the prejudice was not true, which I absolutely did not say.

Read.

And As I said earlier, there are more internet referable stories that support the myth angle. If you want, I can post 10x the number that say it was all a hoax, with quotes from Ali friends, etc.

I think the truth is that no one on these boards knows for sure.


Irresponsible Fear mongering journalism.


The CBC used to be semi-professional, now they're simply amateur. Some local news readers can't speak English, or French for that matter. They're a joke compared to an organisation like the BBC.


I work at fred meyers currently at this exact location. I have had one interaction with Henry Johnson and he is every bit of an asshole that this article makes it out to be. They will write you up, and fire you for ANY perceived slight. Some of the other managers are just down right liars and will back stab you and write you up on your day off. They say they are a company about employee culture and family  but its all a lie. They dont even pay a living wage. If you can pass a mouth swab drug test (easiest one) and you like being treated like shit for shit pay, fred meyers is the place for you. Nothing fabulous about working their either.


Certainly more than in the nations surrounding it.


Intelligence Agencies have proven that they cannot be trusted not to abuse their ability to collect confidential information about political opponents on behalf of their current political masters. It is obviously time to curtail the unrestrained mass surveillance capabilities of these agencies..

FIFY


If Krauthammer was born 150 years ago he's be in charge of the child labor division of a coal mine.


I'm shocked, shocked I say, that a leading maven of Canadian news media such as Ibbitson would opine that the Canadian news media is just great.

Golly.

Steve, if you'd ever been here, you'd know how silly your reaction is.

<G> And there you go, heroically eschewing the ad hominem argument again.  Wotta guy!


Then how about less money spent on the military industrial complex to instead care for its casualties? One per cent or so is all it would take. And little more again, to restore and maintain a decent level of scientific funding.

But that's not why they're protesting. It's because the Trumpsters are embarking on a village idiot crusade that could lay irretrievable waste to the planet – and the damage goes far beyond America.

If you think the advances made by science over the last century or so are over your head, I'm inclined to agree.


Kim needs to be taken out now, before his nuclear missiles reach a state of operational readiness.

You know, the same way Hitler should have been taken out in the 1920s and 30s before he gained enough power to start a war.

We need to learn from history, not repeat it.


"We need to talk about Islamophobia, white supremacy and far-right terrorism."

Another day.

Today, "we need to talk about integrating our newcomers and addressing the threat of radical Islam."


Nanakuli-bro, if you think these returns were great you should be calling your union boss and demanding they invest in the rail, the (D)onkey jack-a$$ index will outperform the S&P500 index in coming years. Invest in your future, invest in Honolulu Municipal junk bonds paying 25% yields!


I agree with the author, I have the pleasure to deal with Japanese chef knives, and so far no other knives stand up to the handcrafted pricey Japanese pieces in terms of grid, sharpness and edge retention. The best knife is the one that suits someones' particular needs, and they will differ for weekend home foodie enthusiast or professional kitchen chef.  For that reason a while ago I wrote a guide to choosing the best knife for one's needs, maybe it's going to be useful for any of you: https://japana.uk/blog/japanese-knives-buying-guide-look/ - let me know your feedback, and if you have anything to add - I'd happily do that :)


No.  I'm afraid that it is your attitude that is a threat to America.


I cannot deny that the achievement scores of our students are lacking. I do know the challenges the staff at our schools face. Who here has been in a school and observed teachers for at least a half day in the last year?
Classes are running 35-38 students. I don't know how a teacher can teach math to 38 kids and not have a few fail to understand. And as they fall behind, they loose the foundation for future learning.
Some kids on the system face drug use, violence and sexual abuse in their homes. It is so common that the kids are no longer surprised when they hear their friends talk of their home life. They come to school carrying this burden. How can one counselor per school of 400 students effectively deal with this?
School district 4j is now providing breakfast for all elementary and middle school children. That schools must make up for lack of nutrition of our children indicates a failure of something, and I think it has to do with home life.


Well Japan could move away a little bit to make some room for NK to conduct test in a safe way, or NK could out-source to Cuba to do some test.
Or you can remove the sanction they have been asking for ... all options are available ...


Well put.
Unfortunately the truth now stands for nothing.


Btw, it was nigelnigel who spoke of this--> peace loving right ---

Not me.


True, that.   Except when Republicans took control of the Oregon legislative body while riding the Gingrich tide in '96, they they began what became 12 years of the largest spending and tax increases in Oregon's history.


Just imagine either one of these two scenarios vs Trump as the POTUS:

1.  Hillary Clinton
2.  Jeb Bush

Trump is 1,000x better than either one of those two dead stiffs.


I don't think his father is being shielded at all.  But people are quite OK with "visiting the sins of the father upon the child".  And that is the biggest problem.


Actually the very wealthy property owning companies are the Ontario Teacher's Pension Fund, The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement fund as well as a few other pension plans from around the world.


If anyone wonders what a Hawaiian government under the federal control of the U.S. would look like one need only look at the dishonorable, disgraceful acts of genocide, oppression and theft committed by the US government against the indigenous first nations people of America.

But the comparison ends there because of the clear difference between the plight of indigenous Americans compared to Hawaiians. Indigenous Americans lived in tribes which claimed various areas of North America. They never unified as a single nation.

Hawaiians were always unified as one people and one nation even despite the internecine conflicts among chiefs to establish dominance, conflicts which ended when Kamehameha the great unified all of the islands under his singular rule to establish the kingdom and nation of Hawai'i.

The US NEVER legally annexed Hawai'i so it NEVER established legal authority or jurisdiction over Hawaii. The Kingdom of Hawai'i continues to exist as the ONLY lawful government of Hawai'i


Here's MY excuse -- with apologies to the tire industry.  We don't drive our second and third vehicles unless the roads are bare, so are not putting winters on them.


You don't get to pick and choose portions of the Constitution. The Supreme Court decision in Boumediene V Bush means foreigners do have full Constitutional rights. If you get one...you get them all.  So your argument, that the Trump travel ban is valid because the Constitution does not apply to foreigners, is simply wrong. Based on the very case you cited. You should have checked your citation before you used it.


"that President Trump is steadily and successfully coming through on all his campaign promises"
Like the travel ban?  The wall?  Repealing Obamacare?
I guess some folks define steadily and successfully differently, sort of an alt-dictionary.


when you're incapable of posting on the thread and start a new one to address my statements, it's understandable why you ask me such sophomoric drivel.  I call myself Native American because I am. as for the rest of your babbling gibberish, you are entitled to your delusions that have absolutely nothing to do with Brexit, and the subject being debated.


See that's the interesting thing with our Donnie, it's hard to know when he's serious, satirizing or just plain fantasizing. I often wonder if he even knows!?


Tump is a phoney president, he got 3 million less votes than Clinton.  Phoney president, phoney democracy.


Pffft!
People in this state haven't  paid an income tax since 1979.
Equitable? Do you think someone who makes $10/hour should pay the same rate as someone who makes $40?  You can't get blood out of a turnip.
Gee, those poor people have it so good, I wish I was poor too!


Seig heil! Heil Trump!! So anyone who is non-white is a plague to you. Attend Prevo's church do you?


Lincoln, and Kennedy might have disagreed with him about who was "treated more negatively"; and Nixon still can claim the "witch hunt" crown - with Bill Clinton currently not far behind and "you lie! - non-American" Obama - perhaps in a distant third place (the Trump tried very hard to move Obama Up to first on that scorecard).
However The Trump "Keystone Kop" Team Behaviors may yet prove to eclipse anything raised  against Clinton and Obama .
I wonder many parents this morning  have "becoming President" as a current aspiration for their kids?


Yes, the chief law enforcement agent in his county was ONLY found guilty of deliberately refusing to comply with a judge's order. That isn't serious enough for you?

And do note:

*  he had lost civil at least one major civil action for unconstitutional racial profiling before.

* he had not filed an appeal of his contempt decision to the Supreme Court.  He had not filed any appeal.  Now he doesn't have to, does he?


Ad's or memes, why quibble over words ;-)

A fortnight of freedom from these religious leaders would be nice.
