That is correct but today republicans control everything so go and fix it already!  Immigration has been a problem since the Bush administration so now republicans, you are in control so get to work to fix it.  No longerr will you be able to play the delay game, now you actually have to do something.

Republians have always had enough peple to either delay something, or outright kill it.  So now just fix it republicans since you think Obama's position is so wrong.


Yeah, I agree. It's a junk pile at this point, and unusable unless you don't mind, as the article says, sharing with 11+ people and whatever dogs, kids, and detritus they bring with them.  We just shouldn't have huts in Alaska.


The mother's a real piece of work to be sure, but an assumption on your part(as to what transpired between the two of them ), I'll take what the authorities are working off of as opposed to your conjecture. Admitting guilt hardly makes him into a "stand up guy", it just helps confirm he's guilty of the charge against him. A real stand up guy wouldn't have let this happen to begin with.
Definition of "stand up" : "marked by a high-degree of personal integrity or loyalty"

You really don't know what your talking about, and I have no reason to continue with you on this. Crawl out of your cave and get a little sun, might do you a world of good... or not.


Or we can save jobs and destroy the planet. Of course, we'll be long dead by then so what do we care?


It isn't the censors, weary one.  It's the community.

There are those among us who deem comments uncivil because they don't jibe with their point of view.  An infantile reaction, and one not exclusive to any political stripe --although my casual observation is that those on the far right tend to be the most shrill about it.


The suggestion that La Sallete is "forgottent" is very far from being true.  The Missionaries of La Sallete have shrines in no less than thirteen countries, to which thousands of people go on pilgrimages, as well as running numerous parishes.

Jews helpfully label themselves officially: Secular (cultural) jews, Reform Jews, Conservative Jews, Orthodox, Ultra-orthodox, Hasidim, etc.

Christians have dozens of pretty clearly defined denominations from ultra-liberal to ultra-conservative.

So it is much clearer than in Islam, where the battle between islamists and moderates, liberals or secular Muslims isn't between clearly defined groups, but a battle to define what is "mainstream".

The battle around the hijab has been going on among Muslims themselves for ages, and after decades of liberal Islam winning, the islamists are now regaining ground, and the left like you are siding with them.

The Left that used to ridicule Victorian prudishness and Christian missionaries for making "naked savages"  cover up, now see nothing negative about claims that women who bare more than their faces are "immodest" and displeasing to Allah.


More likely silicon valley reverts back to orange groves (rather than becoming a lettuce farm), which is what it was prior to silicon valley.  As well, oranges have lower water requirements than lettuce (61 gallons per lb, vs 98 gallons per lb, apparently), which will be necessary to withstand the continuing California drought.


There's something to what you say, though I'm not sure I buy the notion that online company is, on the whole, more "congenial" than actual human contact. Distance and anonymity can make for a particularly toxic brand of nastiness.

I know you're not arguing that virtual communities are better than traditional ones, but a lot of people seem to think they are. I find that concerning. The more the technology of communication advances, the less meaningful communicating people seem to do. I worry about those for whom their most intimate relationships are with people they've never seen.

As I get older, I find that weekly trip to church increasingly important to me. There's something about being in the same physical space with a lot of other people for an hour and, together, acknowledging our sinfulness, thankfulness and need for sustenance -- and then getting kicked back out into the world. I find it soul-soothing in a way I can't imagine anything online ever being.


Yes, good idea - rest, take a break, relax, etc. She definitely can afford it.


So tell me, when Roger Waters has imagery in his concerts of the Star of David on pigs, or dollar signs on the face of a man with a disproportionately large nose (clearly representing the stereotypical jew) while the song Money plays, is that:

1) anti-semetic
2) anti-israel
3) appropriate social protest that he claims is all he's after

Yep, that's what I thought.


What a blast, watching the RGs major Conservative Columnists-- Charles  Krauthammer, Jonah  Goldberg and  George Will scramble for a safe position in  this current  Republican chaos.    Will at least had the integrity to resign from his GOP,  but he's always been the image of rectitude.
Krauthammer, however, seems to be trying here to talk himself in to finally voting for Trump, whom he does NOT care for.   After all, wasn't Goldwater "too radical" too?

But mostly, it's Hillary -- isn't she too boring, too uninspiring for this climactic era?  No fireworks, no cannons booming when SHE speaks.  Just an old policy wonk with years of experience, and sort  of a screechy voice.  And a continuation of the Obama era-- which now, for many reasons is being seen in a better light, giving Obama higher positive ratings.

So CK's gonna support Trump the "loose cannon?"  The D's won't have to create a modern version of the Daisy ad--- Trump will bring it on himself.


When you can successfully refute even one of my arguments with FACTS, come ask me again (one sentence).


Good for you Thomas.  I don't think people realize the moral courage it takes to support a terrorist so good for you.  Canada is luck to have such a progressive as you to call one of its own.


Idk about pot in the "old days..." but the super, rocket fueled weed of today's crazy kids... let's just say it makes you random combinations of hungry, horny and tired... pot is probably very different, now, but apparently it still sends everyone into homicidal rages #reeferMadness


Really good point! It would be nice to see a "citations" list on news reports, like one would see for a scientific paper.

I can not familiar with the world of reporters at all. I do know that there is a "news food chain" with big orgs like Huffington Post consuming and reposting news they collect from other sources.


Oh Lynn, you really blew this one especially when you think you are going to run for  a senate seat.  I really believe your lack of oil/gas financing knowledge is revealed in this amendment.  It was so obvious that voters now see who does not have Alaska citizens best interest in these legislators---Gattis and Wilson.  VOTE!


Reuters reported:  "The bill also bars closures of military bases, although top Pentagon officials say they have too much capacity, and it blocks planned reductions in active-duty troop numbers."  It's nice to know the congress is looking after the budget.


You don't have to worry wookie wookie.  You haven't posted any thought provoking comments as of yet.  Keep working on it though, you might just have a chance of not being flagged.


The slobbering dotard is not welcome in Hawaii.


So, what Mr. NetaYahoo can do to revenge the US? Ridiculous! Bite the hand that feeds them, or one better, give back the many $billions of “gifts”?


It has NOT been addressed; it is NOT in the past.  Their pain is not a grudge, it is an injustice that needs to be acknowledged.  Just as the Catholic Church and other institutions must face a reckoning for the sins of the past; so must governments.


Thank you for stressing that elderly parents need to be medically stable for 90 days. My 89 year old father passed away from heart failure and the insurance would not pay stating that he died of a “pre-existing condition” . If you have elderly parents they will likely be hospitalized or die of a pre- existing condition. Save your money and roll the dice because your odds of winning at the casino are better then they are collecting from an insurance company.


Nice article Charles. It reminded me of my hexagonal cabin covered with Birch shakes that I built north of Talkeetna in 1971. Thanks!


Well done! They really need a "Snort" emoji.


Looking at her history, I don't see anything Hillary Clinton has done for "normal" people, whoever they are. Welfare "reform", i.e., kicking people off of welfare; support for trade deals that have benefited corporations and cost US jobs; wars that have killed both foreigners and US working-class economic "volunteers", a huge waste of our taxes; deregulation of banks and opposition to breaking up the big ones, while she gets big bucks for speaking to Wall Street; the list goes on.

Clinton and her husband came into power with the stated purpose of pulling the Democratic party to the right, so they could get corporate money and win elections. His eight years in office were all about deficit reduction in order to pull down interest rates and make it easier for businesses to borrow and buy each other out.  Besides the welfare bill, which has been very destructive to poor people, he signed off on bank deregulation.


Two roundabouts in a two-block area is what the design shows.   Too many of our US planners wandered off to Europe and think roundabouts are 'tres cool'.   They save money on traffic signals and I can't say that I have ever seen an accident at one but they certainly increase the tension level as you try to guess who has never seen one before and who is going to blast into the side of your car.


Bravo Harry, bravo!!!!


I thought jans description fit billary perfectly. Great letter!!


First, it's not my opinion: it's Jesus' commandment that the "Church" (the bishops...who are not the Church) are disobeying. What is this commandment? You should know by now, since I think we've had this discussion before. It's pretty fundamental, T. .  Jesus puts it almost on a par with loving his Poppa. Any bells clanging yet?

Did you get assistance from the state education system such as a curriculum, teaching materials, schedules, goals, etc?  Did you accept and listen to the advice and assistance?
Do you honestly expect her to do the same when it comes to public education or ignore any contrary study, facts, expertise, etc. to assert her own ideology?


... and in Norway, all that was financed by pumping a helluva lot of oil and selling it on the world market.  ;-)  (At one time, Norway was the world's 2nd largest exporter of crude, after Saudi Arabia.)

Gosh - sacrificing global climate for "free" healthcare for 4 million (overwhelmingly white) people?  Worthwhile trade-off?


Are you seriously this bitter of a woman? Move on. Jason isn't a bad man and that is his name. However I get it you have a somewhat of a bad past with him. No one is perfect lady but he isn't a bad man. Your past is your past with Jason that's all it is so leave it at that. Getting on here and bashing him is immature on your part when he can't defend himself.. however bet I will as his girl and his best friend I will defend him and fight for him and us. Sry you're so bitter but maybe you should move on like he and I have. He is a good loving man who loves me loves life and loves all children. I will see that he gets the fairness and positive reacinition he deserves.


ya in SOUTH CAROLINA where the min wage is $7.25 a hour! SORRY BURL, but your post is meaningless to this article and the points we make,,


What you're saying is akin to saying the Girl Scouts are all about being salespeople and nothing to do with character building...or that the Boy Scouts are all about the desire to wear khaki shorts and nothing to do with character building.  Not everything is zero sum. Open your mind...


Ah, over aged. Not overage. That has nothing to do with this whatsoever.


"Crutch"? I won't listen to arguments from illiterates.


Until you are willing to say the same thing about the Planned Parenthood shooter, all you are doing is using this horrific act as a bludgeon to club liberals with.


Actually I'm a Libertarian.


The rail dream that has turned into a nightmare. Prof. Randy Roth had it right with the fallacy of sunk costs theory. In lay terms: When you find yourself in a hole, STOP DIGGING. The "estimated cost" was $3.7B, then $5.3B, now $10B. All without the unknown and similarly increasing operating costs. Add in the false claim of traffic relief – not gonna happen, and you have to ask, 'Why do you keep hitting yourselves on your heads?" Answer: Because it feels so good when you stop. So STOP ALREADY.


I keep hearing people want free speech for all opinions, but when that opinion contradict their own, it's bar the door.     Women understand that a group is more powerful than an individual.    Men dominated many fields until women simply stopped accepting the barrier and educated themselves. They've leveled the playing field by removing false barriers and they have proven it works with gains in almost every professional field.  Men have worked on perfecting their whine.

If you thnk women are inferior in a field, just say it.   I'll start, women can't compete with men in most championship sports.   (based on adult teams of similar age and experience).    Sure some women can beat some men, but on average, top athletes in both genders will result in men winning.


The Founding Fathers had amazing foresight.    This system was designed to prevent a corrupt state or populous states running roughshod over the rest of the country.

Besides that, after we remove millions of illegals running around within this country voting democrat beginning on Jan 20th, the numbers will more accurately reflect conservative American sentiment.


Never start a fight with the wrong weapon.

Must be awful for the tourists to face these daily attempts on the infideles.


Interesting. I've been diving for over 40 years from Costa Rica to Nome. I've logged over 4,000 dives in this time and some of my very favorite have been in Alaska. I live in SE so much of my diving has been here. There are wonderful dive sites here. Sure, you need to sniff around more than The East Cape in the Baja but there are fantastic dives here in Alaska. My favorite sites are out at Coronation Island. It's right where the warm Japanese currents hit the Islands of SE . World class. If you are an adventure diver (wreck etc) don't miss this spectacular area full of beauty and archeological wonders.


Sadly, becoming a K-12 teacher was never a choice respected by many in our country.  Start with Washington Irving's portrayal of the village schoolmaster as well as the popular saying of the early 20th century: "Those who can do, those who can't, teach."


Exiled -- Isn't that exactly what UNIONS do?  ===
Those nonunion workers today who are paid decently benefit from the stands taken and battles fought by their grandparents/great-granparents against lethal, life-shortening working conditions, and for  living wages. Workers joined together and fought for  worker rights - frequently against corporation-controlled government, starving "scabs", police, judges, well-paid corporate lawyers, and hired corporation "muscle" .. They created the blue collar middle class that many anti-union posters here belong to, and that we have heard so much lamenting about.


Your PFD is history if the level of government we "need" is $8 billion per year


You'll never get rid of the Republicans, the majority of Alaskans don't like Democrats or they're policies of taking from the working and giving to the non-working and non-productive. I'm sorry but that's the truth, why do you think they get elected time after time? Don't kill the messenger!


I'm sympathetic to theologians who are ordered under obedience not to write, but that's the nature of ecclesial authority. It's what they signed up for when they took their vows. Some obey and some have chosen to leave their religious communities and continue to publish under their own authority. In each case, they were exercising personal choice.


Then Schatz you and the other Hawaii Representatives will soon be looking for another job. We the people of Hawaii are tired of old politics and plan to put new blood in office. Drain the swamp in Hawaii too


Oh dear god. I can hardly believe this.

So, Gattis says that the Administration hasn't done enough to cut State spending. What in the hell do you think paying $700 million to the oil industry is? Is that not State spending?

I personally believe the operating budget can be cut, but the big hole in the bucket is where we pay 3/4 of a billion to the oil industry and give them half a million barrels of oil a day.

Those who buy into this nonsense are either morons or criminals. Either way, they aren't suited to hold elected office.


Just PMJT's new electoral system.  A cross between FPTP and party list PR.  Turns out it's party list FPTP.  Enjoy, Liberal voters.


Mucky- you either agree with that fact that our Founding Fathers made us a Christian nation through their Judeo-Christian paradigm, or you don't -- which one is it?


Add to the meeting was Sec. of State Tillerson, who released a similar statement as NSA Dir. McMaster released, in that there were no secrets discussed with the Russians.  Imua.


Sounds like someone has discovered "rabbit stew"


These new best friends of little potato (or as I much prefer, Zoolander) know exactly what they're doing, since swindling, stealing, extortion and buying politicians is how someone goes from zero to a Billionaire in a Communist Country in  ???  20 years.

Our trouble is Justin's to dense to see it.  He actually thinks they like and respect him because he's a World Leader of a country with a population equal to an ordinary city in China.

They're going to eat our lunch.  Thanks, Zoolander.


The Democrates are the reason our Country is not secure, they sold the America Public out
But they paid the price for their ignorance


Great column Margaret !!  Keep going.
We need more M.Wente.


really?? go to alaskalist.com or grab a classified section of your local newspaper.


Receding economy. Check. Fewer jobs. Check. Stagnating wages. Check. Runaway debt. Check. Cost of everything going up. Check.  Canada is back!!!


Completely agree Carol!

See a difference? Lol


I enjoyed this article! My father in Adak during WWII  and I have heard many stories about the Aleutians my whole life. My mother and grandmother were both teachers who at times taught in isolated areas. Lisa is an excellent writer and reporter!


No it wouldn't.  We can't afford 24000 state employees much less going them raises.  Your post does not address the root problem


Krugman doesn't sneer at Germany or its economy, even though he is a Jew whose grandparents escaped Hitler. What Krugman says is that Germany uses the Euro to suck money out of Southern European nations that can't keep up, like Greece and Italy and Spain. I'll take your word on the French stats, but I remember in the '50's that the French peasants were wearing shoes cut from old auto tires.

Germany uses the Euro, weakened by the other economies, to export BMW's  by the millions along with Mercedes. If Germany reverted to the Mark, they couldn't sell their beautiful cars in America. Germany is at the top of the heap and wants to remain there. The French rely on immigrants to work to support their retired folks. A somewhat high unemployment rate keeps the wages low. Sort of like how we run our agriculture sector.


Even if true (unlikely given he was a millionaire) why would you do this?

E.g., how does this help?

I could maybe see killing a bunch of dealers or something, but random people at a concert?  What does that have to do with gambling debt?

I hear ENB uses a special "smoker" like this when they cook their accounting books.
Its a patented secret recipe...

Yet one more bag lady to take down in 2017: one A. Merkel.


And you would know the difference? :)) LOL

Funny, how quickly you forgot to address the fact that you know nothing about diplomatic telegrams, and their use. :))) Instead you lounged into a personal attack. Typical, I would say for those loudly proclaiming their "progressiveness," whatever that means. :)))


Did you have a problem with the 4 years and 7 investigations of Hillary Clinton?


Don't let any of the negativity get to you guys. I can't imagine anyone would take issue with this movement if the picture at the top reflected a less diverse crowd. That's a personal problem on their end. You guys are doing great. 🤘


Please take CJ off the field.  He runs into traffic and falls down. Booker twists and turns and grabs an extra yard even as he's going down. And where is Charles?


and the paid lib troll spews the usual nonsense,, see loser if not for the tax support of our money those so called green cars would not be anywhere to be seen,, its a false to say they are taking off, remove the tax support and they go away since they are far more expensive,, we should not be subsidizing such private products period


A little behind the times, Darryl. CTVglobemedia ceased to exist years ago (2010). The Globe and Mail has no affiliation with CTV.


I didn't get a notice; not yet, anyway. I clicked the button that says "ACTIVITY >" up by the commenting field. The comment in question includes this line:

"This comment was rated below the civility threshold for publication."


A big "if'" in the beginning of your statement yet you come to a decisive conclusion as if your "if" was reality.    Look up "Strawman".


I read from a different news website that Obama meddled with our elections the same way he did with Israel's elections.  He sent his team and sent funds during our elections.  Didn't you notice how biased media was and were constantly attacking Harper?  Trudeau had help from the US to win our elections.  It's not fair!!


Where do these "academics" come up with these articles?
They're all the same -  is there a fill-in form that they download?

Please circle all that apply.
1.  There is a war/famine/disaster/in: ________________ (please specify country or region)
2.  It is the fault of Western military/economic/political/industrial policy/other: ___________________   (please specify)
3.  Canada can lead the World in solving said crisis and earn much sought after praise from: the affected region/Western governments/UN/ other _____________________  (please specify)
4.  What Canada should do: _______________________________________________ (please specify)

But they never fill in number 4
Perhaps it would be helpful if the Globe refused to publish incomplete forms.


Actually that doesn't qualify, since there is an argument he was right.  He was not pinning a label on someone he didn't agree with, just giving his opinion.


Along Phoenix light rail route is hundreds of billions in investment.

We also need to invest in kids  in poverty who never receive adequate early education. They do very poorly in school and in life if they miss the important developmental tasks in their early years. For them it's a basic need. And for us it's an investment in their futures that they cannot afford. Studies show that even at ages 27 and 40 they lose out and are on the bottom of the heap.

"...significantly higher earnings, rates of home ownership, and levels of schooling, as well as significantly fewer arrests and social service interventions, than a control group of non-preschool participants. Cost-benefit analysis revealed that, over the lifetimes of the participants, the preschool program returned to the public an estimated $7.16 for every dollar spent."

Onlly if ms.amylou goes first. After all, she caused my temporary break with reality.


You keep saying such things, and I keep reminding everyone of what you are actually saying. You have a remarkably arrogant attitude, in that you insist that you are the soul of orthodoxy, and that anyone who disagrees with anything the magisterium says is not a true Catholic. You also say that the magisterium has never, ever changed a teaching, which means that you are either ignorant or dishonest.


I find it hilarious when a Djou-ite comes out, blasts the mayor and his "interesting friends" but will not even bat an eye about what "interesting friends" Djou has surrounding him in this campaign.

Maybe that should be also something worth investigating, Chad.  I predict that on both sides of the campaign, both on Caldwell and Djou, one can easily pick out "nefarious" individuals who are creating and putting out some pretty slick pieces blasting the other candidate.

And I am not talking about the union bosses that have already come out for Djou and Caldwell. I am talking about the others, the men (or women) behind the man.


where was the corruption? Parnell Not releasing them, or Walker releasing them?


Anyone else have the sinking feeling that this protest action will achieve no change but will mean major disruption to work and travel, huge potential for looting and violence, and a lot of entitlement demands that are not fully connected to reality?


Uniforms fulfill the same function. The identify the wearer as a member of a specified group, while suppressing his or her individuality. Do you claim that uniforms are not clothing?


I hope the Democrats are not trying to help the top 2%. ATR is fake news, by the way. Would I like less fees in Obamacare? Certainly. I think all MDs should be part of the UPHS. Single payer is too conservative for me.


An individuals account growth is shown at least quarterly on statements. I compare the returns to the clients objectives.

You are, obviously, suggesting that they could get a better rate of return elsewhere. Even though that is almost certainly true, achieving their goal with the least amount of risk is the objective.

Those who are interested in reading actual comments on actual letters are being overwhelmed with "spam" comments by anti-Trump people (with whom I happen to agree, but that's not the point). Comments here should be clearly related to Letters published above (such as my own about the Charlie Gard story, there's the connection).


Then why is it, when you go to Australia that the moon is upside-down and there are completely different stars in the sky?


Humour, like what Kathy Griffin did?
Would like to see Tabs write on that.


In my quiet neighbourhood in Burlington the last three homes sold were to Asians couples where two of them have dissapeared since November, with their houses sitting empty. These homes both had BMWs with one having a Benz for backup!!   Perhaps being away for 4 months they are shopping for their new spring model.

Meanwhile down my street, the old faithful who had lived here for 10 plus years have upgraded to a Honda Accord, VW GOlf and a new CRV.

Never seen an Asian drive a Tesla....must be afraid of electricity.


The sky is falling!!  These are pretty drastic measures for paying min wage.  Perhaps one should take a hard look at their business model if the sole reason for success is suppressing wages.


She's a Marxist twit.


I don't see the problem with this.  The Billionaires are the only people that the Liberals can't just steal money from so they have to entertain and beg.  How else will they make make ends meet other than stealing and wasting even MORE of our money.


Now that fascism, that perverted ideology that the greatest generation of Americans helped defeat 70 years ago...is now our own reality. Yes, times change but the culmination of the perversion always has dire results.

What worries me more than anything is that that ideology that instigated the death and destruction of millions, and is now threatening perhaps an even worse scenario. Perhaps we should have a national day for Americans to watch that film "On The Beach," about the last remaining survivors of 'nuclear war,' awaiting their own death in Australia. 'Melancholia' is a powerful emotion.


tRump's worse than any former Republican president.  He's the anti-Christ.


SD - Good thing for you that your mother didn't think of that one.


He still has and holds the title, or honorific, President. When you go to address him in an interview, you would address him as Mr. President. It is not incorrect in saying it's President Obama's birthday. You would think that a journalist/reporter/person who uses words for a living would know this.


I don't know about the wives of the hedge fund managers, but from the tone of your comment  I would bet my last dollar that you are a Taker.


Trump said from his guts 'blames on both sides'. 'This has been going on for a long time.' Trump does not know how to lie in public, yet. But he will learn soon enough, just like all other politicians in the U.S.

Trump got hit like he is the many great enemies of U.S. around the world with his 'truth'. American never want the truth. The truth is racism, white supremacist have been the foundation of America. And still is to a large degree. Why do you think the U.S. killed more Asians after WW2 than it did before? Or during the war when killing the 'Japs' was official state command.

American white supremacism have aligned themselves with the black slave traders of the British empire in the 19th century. After the slave trade ended they aligned with themselves, created an uniquely American white racism. KKK and others. After WW2 they aligned themselves also with Neo-Nazi. The Nazi, of course, have exterminated Jew, Gipsys, Slav because they were inferior. This thing's been around.


Part of the tragedy of America's third time of trial -- the Vietnam War: the other two being the Revolutionary War and the Civil War -- is that the debate about the Vietnam War's moral meanings was never resolved. For if we talk about Vietnam -- and we can't talk about this history without talking about -- people with strong, rival and incompatible senses of the common good.

The Vietnam War reveals a depth of division within American culture that remains and colors all debates over the wars  the United States has participated in since, as well as other salient issues such as class, race, sex and the environment.

The Vietnam War is "the unfinished war," what we today call "endless war." This raises the uncomfortable question we have learned not to attend and even to exclude from our collective consciousness and conscience: Do we, as citizens, have any longer a sufficiently shared conception of the common good and meaning of America?


u:  "Democrats....more effective....more cohesive".  Yeah, that's why Clinton was elected President.....oh wait, she wasn't.  LOL


So what do you have against trailer parks???


Yep, wish they could have found a way to have kept Ward. Sure looks like the players are still upset with that move. Elway, is as clueless as Joseph, you just do not mess with the consistency of a team. Elway has laid a big egg, and it's looking like the players no longer want to play for him. It's grab the paycheck and check out, Wonder how many of them will be requesting a trade at the end of the season.


And yet your clicks and comments keep helping ADN procure ad revenue. Keep it up. Alice & Company thank you for your support.


So what were you saying about the strength of the Canadian economy just a week ago? The oil shock is still happening and nearly three years later it has hasn't improved at all.


Would that be true for students attending a madrassa or a school run by Satanists?  Out of curiosity, in which state do you live?


allie has a knack of actually subtracting knowledge in their comments.


Domestic squabbles?

That terrorist killed an American medic and took the eye out of another soldier. Then Sunnyways pays the murderer 10 million dollars and apologizes. Then he tried to hide it but it was leaked.

I am glad the Americans know about this, they should as it concerns them. Domestic squabbles indeed, how stupid does this guy think we are.


Well one of their supporters just killed five police officers who where ironically protecting a BLM rally in Dallas.


"Jessie Duarte certainly didn’t seem to have a problem with changes to the Treasury..." It's much worse than that. Duarte's son-in-law, dim Ian Whitley arrived at treasury alongside Gupta-thief Mohammed Bobat as van Rooyen's advisers, all within 24 hours. Duarte is a poisonous toad.

He had a rough start... Sure. He held onto the ball and got sacked for a safety... Then he hung 30 unanswered points. Sloter is in his 3rd month practicing with his first NFL team and already out-performed Lynch, who already has a year with the Broncos under his belt.


Trump's from New York and 80% of the people in that city voted against him.  Now you can't get 80% of New Yorkers to agree on much of anything, but they sure know a big city conman when they see one.


Figures, you have none. So the democrats in congress are nothing but obstructionist, they offer no bi-partisanship or to help plan a better future for our country. So it seems they are just free loaders on tax payers dime, because you said the republicans control the house. So tell me, what is the democrats sole purpose in Washington besides being obstructionist? What do they do for our country, besides bad mouthing and complain? Tell me specifically what they do to help our country. Democrats lost 1,042 seats and positions during Obama's 8 year reign as president. I'm done with this post, I'm never going to get a straight answer from you. You have a good day Boots, enjoy your fantasy world.


Reality is limited by the constructs people have based on their life experiences.  The impasse in Juneau is centered on - dividends vs. income taxes.  That is, are we going to tax the income of those who create it in order to pay a dividend?  But it's not that simple.  Alaska has a large population of people who live a subsistence lifestyle below poverty levels.  The dividend means much more to this population than folks living in Anchorage making say $50,000/year.  Federal and state policies have enabled and subsidized this subsistence population.  New reality option:  carve out $7 billion from Perm Fund and name it the "Alaska Subsistence Welfare Fund" to pay $1250/year to Alaska natives who live at poverty levels in villages. Drop dividend payments to everyone else and use the remainder of the Perm Fund to run the state.  People who earn a living don't need a dividend and should not be taxed to pay one to others who don't need it.


Ms. Phillips;
We (your readers) need a little more information to put this story into context:
How many breaks per day did the employees want, and how long for each one?
Thanks.


The biggest question is this: if Southwest begins shuttling interisland, will they serve juice?


I was one of over 700 that were work force adjusted (laid off) from Veterans Affairs Canada in 2013. I was a Disability Benefits Officer and had been with VAC for nearly 29 years.  I would love to have my job back. I did apply when I saw it posted, but was advised that I was not qualified. If you do not have a university degree, you will never get hired.


And their arrogance astounded. How many died on Mathews watch over ill fitting ornge helicopters, four dead in a crash of a helicopter due to lack of training, and literally THOUSANDS dead of superbugs in hospitals, while on Sulley's show on PBS, he had on two people who have invented devices to place in hospitals, that literally obliterate superbugs in hospitals, and where they TRIED to get the Ontario Liberal government to buy them, but were turned down!!! She will rot in you know where on judgement day, that is for certain.


Not Peter DeFazio. He opposed NAFTA and the TPP.


He is famous for projecting.


It's tanking. On a positive note, U-Haul is doing great.


How many tomahawks can other countries shoot at America before we decide its war??? I'm guessing it's a lot less than 59...So Congress stopped Obama from going to war with Syria when they crossed the line??? I always hear Trumpers saying it was Obama who stopped going to war with Syria...Nice to hear the truth, thanks...#MAGA


Hail to the chief.


HA! They admitted to sign the disclosure of the jet noise and still complain? It was here before them... and if they don't like it... THEN LEAVE! I love the sound of freedom and enjoy the jet noise every chance I get. Someone should tell them to move to Virginia Beach, hahaha!


Hillary welcomes your support!


I would have thought that 100% testing before flights would essentially rule out intoxicated pilots..?


Yeah, but he got 20K for his vote for Devos, which helps Cory, but not us.  He voted repeatedly to repeal Obamacare and put something worse in place, which helps Cory, but not us. He votes with Trump over 90% of the time, which helps Cory, but not us.  Hmmm - seems to be some sort of strange pattern here...


Dont believe your lying eyes when you watch the Hillary video, right, Bob?


This is the best comment I've read on a fairly obnoxious article re-hashing equally obnoxious, condescending media drivel about men and all their flaws (imagine if you can an article in the Globe focused on women and all their inadequacies).  Never been a better time to be gay.


Not all students are animal abusers.... that's a very general comment to make about "college folk". I would never leave my fur child behind or alone. The disconnect comes from people who are actually disconnected, and don't understand the responsibility. I never got a dog while in college because I understood the commitment. Please don't generalize.


Yeah, that's not happening but thanks realtor/foreign buyer for posting your propaganda championing unaffordability and telling citizens they can suck a lemon if they can't afford to live in the city.


Agree that they are not equal, but any two things are comparable. Don't get me wrong, I hate Nazis as much as anyone. I get fired up watching the Sound of Music. BLM openly supports violence, even if that's not the official line.

Violent racists are just that, no matter the color of their skin. All of them are deserving of our contempt.


Again, you are proving my point, ie, that the SCC  bowed to social media pressure.

It should not matter what you or I think should be the correct number of intervenors; what matters is the judgement of a SCC justice. That is why they are there.. to make these decisions for us.

The SC justices are supposed to be the pre eminent of Canadian jurists, so allow them to do their job independently, or just scrap them altogether.


You still don't get it -- it's direct from Trumps own mouth about his inauguration SPEECH.  TRUMP said it was sunny during his speech.  Sid added "cloudless".  TRUMP said it quit raining and became sunny during his speech.

Believing or dis-believing is not it.  Go view the video provided by the White House (it's in another comment).


Funny there was a porn star from the 70's named Johnny Waad who a female star described with upturned eyes as having a loofa stuffed into her chute. A cameraman described him when he was at the height of his fame, "When Johnny worked, we all ate". Can you explain that to me?


Despite Trudeau and Goodale's  assurances that all such people will receive thorough vetting and  all efforts are being made to keep bad people out, I remain susceptible.  Those crossing the border at 3 AM seem determined  to not be caught so as to avoid benign vetted at all.  I  suspect they have people arranged through mosques and Islamic  groups waiting for them at the crossing point using cell phone GPS to locate them.   Without their cell phones, the European Muslim invasion would not have been possible.


The fed. govts' usual reports, saying"the Recession is getting better" is a hysterical big fat lie--and its a fact, no words out of the feds' mouths are true---ditto both political parties.Hillary is a  crook--Trump is one too- give it up,voters, your vote has become WORTHLESS. --And we all know it.The dumb Emperor is not wearing any clothes.


Oh, agony schmagony, get over it, Hillary lost.  This is a fishing expedition. There is no descent of Trump, no traitor; just a media circus.  I think Trump comes out of this unscathed.  He'll implement his agenda with the media babbling in the background about his impending doom, implying that somehow this is going to put Hillary in the WH or something.  It's not.


I guess you didn't read your own citation. First, you wrote there were six prosecuted in Denver a few years ago, then you changed it to four. Actually, there were NONE prosecuted in Denver. The four were in Arapahoe County, and Brachler dropped two of the cases entirely, and won only one conviction. This was after Scott Gessler had initially claimed 15,000 illegally voted, and was proven outrageously wrong.

There have been more Republicans convicted of vote fraud in Colorado than that.


how is this implying that beyonce's art is uncomplicated or will have no impact on women and girls?


What are you, his psychologist?


Very good news. The injunction against the travel ban was clearly overreaching by Obama-appointed judges legislating from the bench.


Don't forget having HRC locked up.


I see the poor losers are out in force. Nothing to do but whine. Get over it. Move on with your lives.


With PSE serving well over 1 million customers, coupled with the fact that they have a market into which to sell surplus power, it would be naive to think that unplugging Bainbridge would force them to cut production.   In my view, there is no upside to this proposition, environmental or otherwise.    Enacting it would amount to making an empty political statement, at high levels of cost and risk, for NO good reason.


According to Trump and his mouthpieces who show up on FOX, America's top entertainers and celebs will perform and/or attend the inauguration. Those who declined are Liberal losers or, according to Trump's tribe, were threatened by Democrat supporting hoodlums and losers who are bitter that Clinton lost. They emphasize, underline, highlight how disturbing it is that people use social media to intimidate people.. Really?


His big hearted 'pro bono' lawyer..........who let Khadr move into their family home.......such a saint........sigh...........just waiting for the big pay day to come, knowing our limp and activist judges will hand over whatever is eventually demanded.    Lawyers are bottom feeders.

"Trudeau isn't doing so poorly"

There's lots of angles to attack this one, but one example will suffice: marijuana legalization.

The LPC 'legalized marijuana' by downloading the responsibility for enforcement, policy and standards to the provinces, but nonsensically retained federal criminal legislation for sale to minors, introducing a guaranteed conflict between the provincial right to set age of majority and federal enforcement of that law.  Are we really going to get into the business of arresting people and putting them in FEDERAL prison for selling to an 18 year old in Ontario, when that 18 year old can cross over into Quebec and buy it perfectly legally?  It's what already happens with alcohol, but we're talking fines at the provincial level for alcohol, not felony convictions like we would with pot.

It's juvenile legislation that got rushed so the feds had a chance of getting it out in the public's eyes by 420. It's that kind of 'optics first' thinking that's so idiotic.


Yeah, that's why there are no taxes on alcohol. Bought any black market whiskey lately?


Who and why did someone remove Meliss's comment? I can take insults and criticism. I've been married.


If you are going to play then pay.  Churches and such should be paying taxes.  Then this becomes a non-issue.


lol of course he saw it...and did nothing.


Pre-1960's, all Anheuser Busch factory workers were given free beer in the break rooms. Free beer, meaning pour-it-yourself kegs. Unfortunately some government officials thought driving fork-lifts intoxicated was unsafe and mandated all employees across the US be sober at work. Fun-killers.


I would suggest that you try to do the job, or at least inquire what it is that the police do before you pontificate.


It's kind of sad to see so many people afraid to say that they are voting for an independent who is not a hasn't been  puppet slave to the party, because they themselves  are a puppet slave to the party. To those, it's only a career to them...it's not a principled  calling nor is it really to make things better.
It's also sad to see Americans who are so confused when an independent makes it this far without party backing and is not a puppet to the corruption and hasn't ended up selling out or being bullied out (Sanders) who  surprised the established parties who were so sure that their chosen front runners would win.  People are so used to the same way every election because it is so planned and established that they can't deal with any surprises . So when both corrupt parties start pulling together  to try to attack the independents, some people can't see that both political parties are corrupt.  Had it been Sanders that hadn't sold out they would be doing the same to him


On those occasions when I choose to slog through the veritable swamp of the uncivil Schwab's writing, I'm often reminded of these words from the Coen brothers' brilliant film, Barton Fink:

"Mister Fink, they have not invented a genre of picture that Bill Mayhew has not, at one time or other, been invited to essay. Yes, I have taken my stab at the rasslin' form, as I have stabbed at so many others, and with as little success. I gather that you are a freshman here, eager for an upperclassman's counsel. However, just at the moment, I have drinking to do... "


Recently, consultants from New York city were brought in to advise on how to help the downtown Eugene area- their services were paid as part of a federal $ grant... our tax dollars at work.  The problems seem obvious especially compared to downtown Springfield.


For anyone to say, that Hawai'i would not be a viable target of North Korea, than that person has no true understanding, of the North Korean President's state of Mind.

He is too unpredictable.  He is constantly pushing physical boundary lines and mental fortitudes.  Political strategies, are constantly being rewritten.  The USA, can not take on a 3rd war.  We are still stuck in Iraq & Afghanistan.

A nuclear missile, could devastate the Hawaiian islands, and destroy the value of Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean.


The scornful swamp doesn’t like being drained and doesn’t want to be drained....Corker is not alone in fearing that prospect...the elites of both the Democrat and Republican Parties are frightened that the Iconoclastic President will follow through with the promises he made to the US electorate that he would clean out the Augean stables.

Corker, knowing that President Trump would not endorse him for the 2018 mid term elections, has thrown in the towel and will not run for reelection...”Hall has no fury like a politician scorned”.


I cannot think of a single reason that I would spend time with people like this, family or not. It is a recipe for disaster waiting to happen. It will not end well no matter how you contort yourself to please them. Save yourself the heartache and drama, and skip thanksgiving altogether.


I would strongly urge the elected representatives from Catalonia to put forward a motion in the EU parliament condemning the violence against peaceful civilians during the referendum - and see who votes against it.

Also put a supplementary motion, condemning the violation of the EU charter on the freedom of information, for the ban on the app that gave "information" about the referendum, and the seizure of ballot boxes.

There should be something appropriately poetic, like where the jackboots trample on the fresh green shoots of freedom, they may crush the life therein, but will in the process disperse the seed far and wide.

It had nothing whatever to do with uniting anyone.  It had everything to do with distracting people from the fact that the father of Mr. Owens snubbed Trump at Dover Air Force Base.  Trump went there for a photo op and it didn't work out so well for him.

Trump is a psychotic.  His administration is a failed, hot mess.


re: Mr. de Jong cautioned there are risks to the economy, particularly due to protectionist sentiments growing within Canada’s biggest trading partner, the United States.

Guess freedom of assembly is out the door too?  You have a problem with organizing protest?  How anti Constitution.


I'm happy, SS2, to have a two-way conversation on a lot of things.  It's hard when people just yell talking points at you, or dismiss you by using labels designed to be offensive (like the two posters using SJW here).

So, how about a two-way conversation, SS2:  just when is it appropriate for the elected leader of a democracy to call an unemployed sports star an SOB for having exercised his right to free speech?  And how it that not 'hate and vitriol' from that source?


The disorder in Washington (for which you have given us a link) occurred on January 20, 2017.
The Women's March was yesterday, January 21, 2017.
And therefore your article from 'The Daily Caller' (and its photos) cannot possibly tell us what the March "was about and how it was conducted".
Some "dose of reality"!
PS - I now see that several other people have already commented on your obvious blunder. Oh well, better too many than too few.


Your sensitive perspective in this piece indicates that you have already made progress in breaking the 'absent men' cycle. All the best with your sons.


Well, I'm not trying to say that - I'm trying to ask what other reason besides tax avoidance is there to give Justice the shares.  I don't understand the asset freeze strategy.

I'm sure you know small business owners who use income sprinkling to reduce taxes - in this example if Justice were a minor and had no other income I believe he could receive $25-30K annually tax free if distributed as a dividend to him. I think that's an example of the money that the Fair Tax plan is trying to tax.

I appreciate the response - I was going to make a comment suggesting you read the pdf but I see you co-wrote it :).


It's working so well for Kansas, so well.

"Since it took effect in January 2013, total employment in Kansas has risen only 2.6 percent, compared to 6.5 percent nationally. Private sector employment in Kansas has risen 3.5 percent, compared to 7.6 percent nationally.

The state’s economy has grown less than half as fast as the national economy; Kansas’ gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.8 percent from the end of 2012 through the first quarter of 2016, while national GDP rose 11.9 percent.

Kansas’ share of newly opened business establishments in the United States has actually declined slightly rather than increased."

Apparently, the fact that DJT can't get over HRC is widely noted:

There is a video 1/2 down the page that has a nice summary of his obsession.


LOL,
So now climate change and Trump’s election is at par with global atomic war?

So the best response to this “doomsday clock 2.0” is best expressed by the character Dr. Manhattan from “The Watchmen”:

 “I would only say that a symbolic clock is as nurturing to the intellect as a photograph of oxygen to drowning man.”


This is NOT about reducing traffic fatalities.  It's a power grab by the police.  If they truly wanted to nab impaired drivers, how about setting up their roadside checkpoints right outside the parking lots of bars and nightclubs.  No need to be random about it:  that's where they're most likely to find impaired people getting behind the wheel of a vehicle.

BTW distracted driving is one of the top 3 causes of traffic crashes.  When are the penalties for that going to catch up with the penalties for impaired?


What a bunch of mealy mouthed weaklings.
I guess the little boys just want some sort of a win...
At any cost


Lol, Republicans claiming the mantle of due process. That's rich given their recent history.


Boordow-- 100% correct. Add to that Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Chicago- the common denominator in all five cities of course being decades of entrenched Democrat mayoral/city council leadership.


Costs are a valid concern, but naming a major street after Dr. King is a signal that Springfield recognizes a truly great American when it sees one.  Overall, I think the benefits outweigh the costs.  Karen Hartman admires MLK.  What did "Centennial" ever do for us?


The Liberals are out of touch with public opinion. So were the US Democrats, and they learned it the hard way when Trump was elected President. The Left consistently deludes itself into believing it has more support than it actually does.


The link that you posted seems quite out of date, and was published shortly after setting a new record low for job approval in August, Bavius.

This one is much more unto date.

Again, not one mention of the value of hiring a permitted guide.  And a clear misunderstanding of avalanche education programs.  Signage is not the answer.  How many people have seen a picture of someone standing on the log at Hanging Lake right next to the sign? Perhaps the Forest Service should do a better job of promoting the use of professional outfitters.


She seems mentally and emotionally unstable.  I am no fan of Trump but she is not in any way important enough for him to care.  She displayed bad judgement showing the decapitate  head.  There is way too much violence and decision in the country as it is.  We are all Americans in the end.


Repeal & Replace OBUMMERCARE. Many of our Doctors just plain gave up when the Obamacare nightmare hit the islands. If they could afford it they retired as it increased the costs of running a practice. Some just wont take new patients and now it takes 30-45 days just to get in to see the doc/tor you needed yesterday. Those on welfare and those the insurance companies were forced to take now take 90% of the doctors time because they have so many issues because of drug use and lack of personal care. Insurance premiums have gone up & appear to be going higher while the level of care has gone down the drain


Some claim that we are a nation under God, but since (as all major religions believe) God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent that means that all nations must be under God, and that he knows what's going on in them.   Why then, if all nations are under God, are the people here (relatively) more free and more prosperous than those in some other countries, like Darfur or North Korea?   Maybe it's because, as you've mentioned, they have no document (like our Constitution  -  imperfect as it is) to which they are willing to adhere.


Here's something that could be considered "disturbing". Perfume companies accidentally discovered how they can exploit the T. gondii parasite hijacking the brains of humans.

An interesting study of why "Chanel #5" perfume was such an historical success. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2012/07/chanel_no_5_a_brain_parasite_may_be_the_secret_to_the_famous_perfume_.single.html

Cat pheromones are used in "Chanel #5". With the high prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in the male population in France (due to their cultural practice of eating raw and undercooked meats infected with this cats' parasite), men who have had their brains hijacked by this parasite are attracted to these cat-scents in the perfume. This is how "Chanel #5" became so popular.

Mel Hite
This article by Register Guard is once again incorrect to the situation. I spoke with the arresting officer, and his account was much different. There were people drinking, and things did get out of hand. He said John's charges are minor. As you can see there were no assault charges. If he had done what the paper said, there definitely would be. There were several people pushing and shoving, unfortunately the women did get pushed through the window.

I personally know this man well and was completely shocked by the article. So so out of character for John. Please be mindful of what you read, and know you're usually not getting the whole story.


Yet you read the column, did you also read the book?.


And now we NEED more rehab programs....  hmmm


The only real damage to the DNC is the rock hard conclusive evidence that Chairwomen Debbie Wasserman Shultz destroyed Bernie Sanders chances of becoming the nominee by skewing the nomination to Hillary Clinton, we seen the e-mails, she resigned.

I have personally witnessed the decline in bears near our road system in the Interior.  I think bear baiting has wiped out the bears.   I guess this was the intent of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. I also talked to a state trooper game warden who told me that the the State of Alaska only has four officers enforcing fish and game rules for the northern half of Alaska.  This is far too few.  As far as the feud between the State and the feds this has been going on since statehood.  The feds claim ownership of 64 percent of Alaska and most of that is in the form of parks and refuges.  We have more parks and refuges than the entire rest of the US.  ANWR alone is larger than the combined area of the five smallest states including Delaware.  As such we are over run and subject to over reach by the federal governemnt and there is nothing we can do about it but complain.


the US has huger problems with poor Canadian food products than they have in the US.  And generally speaking, the US produces far more diverse, and also produce more high-end high quality foods than Canada does.


I agree.  Trump is most definitely a worthless stain on America.


Par for the left - solve one tragedy by creating a bigger one.


'North Korea says it’s the ‘biggest victim’ in U.S. student’s death'...sounds like something the Donald would say.


Toast

The issue wasn't that they discovered or disciplined the brokers involved immediately.

In fact, they did.

The issue is that they didn't immediately disclose that fact. Actually, if you read their 2014 year end statement and the MD&A that was released in Feb of 2015 they blamed the drop in 'originations' on seasonality, the weather etc.

This in fact was not true and the board knew this as they were in the process of severing ties with brokers that had falsified documents.

National Instrument 51-102, 'Continuous Disclosure Obligations', Section 7 clearly spells out what the board's obligations were.

As soon as a material change occurred, the board had to immediately release that information publicly and fill out a 'material change report' and file it with the OSC.  They did not do this ergo the issue with the OSC.  The OSC wasn't informed until one of the board members went to the OSC later that year.

My question is, why did it take the OSC two years to lay charges?

" a table setup and manned by Lane County Democrats who attend the U/O."
Nonsense.
You are referring to the al Nakba project which has a table on the sidewalk near  the Saturday Market .
It has absolutely nothing to  do with the UO.
It has absolutely nothing to do with Lane County Democrats.
The activists  would be considered quite far Left rather  than "liberal", and many Eugene liberals would consider their position extreme.
Rather than being actually anti-Semitic, it is critical of the state of Israel's long occupation of the Palestinians, and sympathetic to the hopes of the Palestinians for a  decent piece of  land for a homeland.  In general, this is a position shared by many people and governments around the world.  I myself have long supported a two state solution and have high  a respect for the rights of both Jews and Arabs.
Eugene's major organized  anti-Semitism  was  from Orval Etter's Holocaust-denying Pacifica Forum which UO liberals were finally  able to shut down.

Are they still housing retired hierarchs like former SF archbishop John Quinn at the Menlo Park Seminary? Perhaps that is what Cordileone is planning to do ... a retirement community where hierarchs of his ilk can sit around grumbling about the 'good ole days' before that Argentinian Jesuit became pope and started labelling them all "the lepers of the church."


How strange that you comment on your comment. Have you ever disagreed with yourself?


Read on....as per bbl emission drop, increased output will offset that drop.  So at the ends of the day, the meager .1% contribution to global GHG emissions will not go up.

What was the result of Quebec's environmental review of the million barrels of foreign oil that is shipped every day in single hauled tankers on the environmentally sensitive St Lawrence river? Explain how Quebec did a full environmental review on Middle East Oil. How did they factor in the upstream environmental issues? especially the GHG emissions from the world's dirtiest oil, the Nigerian Brass crude that feeds Quebec refineries, oil that is far, far dirtier than oil sands product? Why is Qubec importing 80 percent of it oil instead of using Canadian? Four major pipelines were built under HARPER between 2006 and 2015, about 4.3 million barrels of oil is getting pumped through pipelines safety every f day!
Shame on Quebec and Shame on Justin for doing nothing !!!


Yeah. He communicated so badly that he won a majority government unlike those masters of communication in the Conservative Party.


I'm saying that if it was a funny meme with Hillary hitting Trump with a golf ball, instead of the reverse, we would never have heard about it (in a bad way) on the Washington Post or Denver Post. It is politicized.

He will disappear into the crowd in the vatican while incomprehensible legal proceedings are delayed until he's forgotten, then he'll be quietly shipped off somewhere he won't be noticed.


Another thing keeping divorce down in ancient Rome was that the woman would typically be left penniless, unless she had property of her own (which was rare among the rich and unknown of among the poor). Thus, it would be in her financial interest to stay with her husband.


In spite of his weak delivery and awkward articulation, Gov. Walker has stood up as the only person with the guts to take on this crisis. Our milquetoast "representatives" should take note on how to lead.


"we as a society sent a message that it's all part of the game."
Is it possible that Italy represents a cultural extreme in this regard?  According to my wife, Rome was the only city in the world (and she was in a lot of them) where she could count on being pinched at least once every day.


"Nail on the head" as usual, Zapiro. Happy birthday.


I really appreciate you putting your story out here, knowing that likely people will be buttholes. Your brother's story is important because he, more than others, represent true homelessness. I have been homeless. I am not a drunk. I don't use drugs. I work hard but like many others find myself one catastrophic incident away from not having a home.
I have a life-threatening illness and am disabled. I still work and have benefits. Despite that, the medical bills I will never hope to pay keep mounting.
I grow/raise most of our food. We hunt and fish. I am up to my eyeballs in berries - canning, making jam, freezing and dehydrating. I forage for medicinal plants. My husband juggles getting me to town for work, for treatments and for running his own small business.
Despite all the hard work we still often can't pay the power bill, pay our taxes, pay other bills in full. And we really don't have a lot of outrageous bills as we carefully scrimp and save.
We are the face of homelessness.


HEY! What's the problem there, Messrs. Ryan and McConnell? Didn't the brave Republican Congress vote 50-odd times, so righteously, to eliminate the Affordable Care Act? Just do away with it, no substitute, no nothin'! What's the hold up? On January 20, just do it!

No so easy now, is it, knowing that you'll no longer have Mr. Obama's skirt (veto) to hide behind, to keep it from actually happening, to shield you from that responsibility?

I'm getting my popcorn ready, and a comfortable seat, to witness the death of the ACA on 01-20-17, but I have the uneasy feeling that it'll be for naught. I'm worried that the bold Republican House and Senate warriors will somehow  suddenly contract a bad case of amnesia, and forget their sacred vow. Which could also be kinda entertaining, I suppose.

Don't let me down, guys. I'm all stocked-up with vitamins, anesthetic supplies, and surgical instruments, in anticipation of the new do-it-yourself medical-care paradigm. Let's get on with the cutting.


It is very sad but these events are not really rare.  black bears are more prone to predatory attacks on humans not just in Alaska but in Canada also etc.  They have a more predatory instinct, I have lived among brown bears a long time here in Alaska and never witnessed what I have seen in blacks.  They are distinctly different.  A brown will attack and maul out of defense.  A black will attack, kill and eat you just because it wants too.  Every bear cannot be predicted in behavior and you can't exactly catagorize them all the same either, they all have different personalities the same as humans.  Killing four just to get one was a little much but I guess considering the terrain they felt they had no choice but I can also imagine how stupid they felt each time they realized they had the wrong one.


marco is abusing proverbs to support his weak appeasement of violent evil leftists


It's never been about the tax issue.  It's about the endless selections and convenience of home delivery.


Make so much sense unless you are trying to advertise you silly faith.😜


Time to cut loses with Latimer.


============================
“Do you think that Kellie Leitch should have her own party?” Trudeau was heard to say.

The woman suggested Leitch was part of a different conversation, but Trudeau insisted it was not.

“Because if you have a party that represents the fringe voices ... or the periphery of our perspectives and they hold 10, 15, 20 seats in the House, they end up holding the balance of power.”
==============================

Trudeau talks to people like they are gullible children.

(BTW- the last time the right split, it resulted in 13 years of uninterrupted Liberal power)


The need for those Rights having been confirmed throughout the 20th century.  Starting with the First Amendment need to expose horrid ideas through Free Speech.  The Constitution got it right the very first time because the principles of freedom are natural rights that apply to all persons.


Why is Brazile not as guilty as Clinton and the others?  She gave debate questions and kept her mouth closed until she wrote a book.  Just wondering


The current trimming of the corrupt troika tree, as evidenced in a few notable "falls" such as Molefe, Koko, Motsoeneng, Ntlemeza, Phalane could be seen as just a tactical withdrawal of the corrupt, state capture project.
These pawns are forsaken to distract their enemies from the real offensive yet to come.  The combination of legislation in the pipeline (Land, Mines, Hate Speech/Censorship and more) and the renewed commitment to the NDR are proof of this.

Oosthuizen is displaying wishful thinking when he states; "History will judge the silent majority in the party harshly, for lounging around as one scandal after another smears the ANC".

There is no "silent majority", there are no "good" ANC cadres. The National Democratic revolution rules.

The ANC has played its historical liberating role and has lost its relevance. We now yearn for (and need) modern, pragmatic governance untrammelled by outmoded revolutionary ideology.

"This article has attracted the Troll Factories like little else lately." - says Mr. Troll himself.
No kidding.
But here's one for you: if you (under any name) think, that contradicting your bile is trolling, I'd be glad to wear it, as a badge of honour, Chuckie.


This neuroscientist does not agree with you Michael...


Mr. Kelly,

This concept of not being able to convey the immense special reality of a place, via the media, is also true of only one other sporting venue known to the developed world:  The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Both Augusta National and AELTCC are private venues that annually host the heights of their endeavours and yet they far and away exceed any Olympic Games, World Cup, Super Bowl or you name it sporting event.

Thanks for conveying this special feature which when experienced in person leaves you in awe.


This isn't evolution. Evolution is what happens naturally. This has the potential for disaster just as much as evolution does.


It's interesting that some villages can still do this but they get sent to Anchorage where we must accept them.

Maybe you are not familiar with some of the trade programs offered at the community college.  Many building trade programs are offered at community colleges.  To be a baristas requires some customer service/hospitality training too.


First and foremost get a front and rear view camera.  Review your own driving - most people, road ragers included, are completely unaware at how badly they drive. I haven't had anyone road rage at me and the few people I know who have had to deal with it don't tend to be the most courteous drivers themselves.  If you really are not at fault then definitely report to police and you'll have the video footage necessary to back you up and identify the vehicle. When drivers get away with bad behaviour they can tend to escalate over time. And finally, no matter how innocent you are, do not engage or retaliate. Be the better person.


Lucky this guy lives in America. Any other Country and this guy would disappear.


I don't think he does. He just keeps giving stock posts, year after year.


You have no authority over my spiritual choices and your opinion was neither asked for accepted.    Leave the judgement to God as most devout Christians would understand.

You don't care an iota about my spiritual life or me. You just want to use your smarmy insulting comments to belittle others.  That's being a good Trumpet and following the scripture of the self absorbed.  Maybe your prayers will reward you with a gold plated condo too.

Unbelievable, I expose a deep emotional experience and you insult me.   What a low life.


Yet Trudeau doesn't stop oil shipment from Saudi (or arms sales).  Completely hypocritical.

ADDICTED to Power, Money and Image.

Until there is "Sustained", Unyielding Outside INTERVENTION, very little substantive change will materialize in any institution which has become wholly ADDICTED to Power, Money and Image(no matter how disillusioned that image may be).

The rcc has all the glaring characteristics of a drug addict in desperate need of outside intervention.
***If left to its own devices, it will continue on its own downward spiral, as its has for the last 30 years, and the collateral damage(Innocent Children and your donations) will be at the bottom of an ash heap once known as the rcc.
...and I doubt history will have much empathy on how the rcc destoyed its self in nearly a blink of an eye.

No need to dismount, just wait for the light to change like every other VEHICLE. They only need to dismount if the want to use the PEDESTRIAN crosswalk and traffic signals.


Unfortunately, as much as I wish it were so, I rememberall the similar predictions of the death of the GOP in 2008 after the DNC had control of the House, Senate, and White House. It wasn't looking so good for the GOP then but they came back two years later, and eight years later having all three. Long term DNC will too, and even thrive, because there is so much weakness through entitlement mentality which is only getting worse, and the DNC feeds on that.


Now be calm, Dennis.  No "flocks" of Americans are going to take wing and fly to Canada like a confused flock of geese.  One thing - and this is true of Canada, as well - is that the US has held together and functioned well enough, and true to its founders, through many difficult and challenging times in our over 200 year history.  We could withstand and survive even a Trump presidency, although I am certain he wouldn't survive his first year in office.  But not to worry.  All of the projections and analysis show that Sec. Clinton will be sworn-in as President on January 20, 2017.  We are not a nation of fools, as the radical right would have us all believe.  It is one reason why, on our currency, we have the phrase "In God We Trust."   So trust me, and rest easy.


LOL that NADDAWAY is a staunch liberal supporter, cursing Harper all the time.

Pay back time.


Thank you for this report.  The kolea is truly an amazing bird.  I often wondered where they rested during the evenings and may be this explains why I saw five birds on my roof one day.  Saw a video once about how several animals have the ability to navigate by detecting the earth's magnetic fields, and that we humans could also do this if we didn't rely so much on external aids.


Vlad Tepis is the only leader who comes to mind who effectively solved his kingdom's "homeless" blight.

But suggest luring the city's bums to a huge warehouse with the promise of food, then locking them in and setting it ablaze these days...


Makes no difference what people "want". Makes no difference if they've been rejected before. If SCOTUS says it's unconstitutional, you'll need to change the constitution to discriminate against religious organizations. Best of luck.


No, you're missing the basic point. I discussed why Altman seems to garner compliments and respect of his peers in the Pac-12 and other Power 5 Conference teams and Helfrich doesn't, whereas you made a point about not comparing Altman and Helfrich's head coaching because Altman has been a head coach much longer and should be compared to other basketball head coaches. And I'm saying you can compare the two head coaches because it's about the respect they get from their peers.

The difference between Helfrich and Altman as head coaches in terms of length of tenure isn't an issue because a coach's reputation doesn't just start the minute he's a head coach somewhere. It's about how your peers evaluate you, in and out of the conference. Helfrich has been a coach in the Pac-12 before Oregon. He's been around long enough as a coach to have a reputation in the conference. Why aren't his peers complimenting him the way Altman's does, or the way Kelly's did when he was the Ducks head coach?


The fact is one.
The right to a fair trial within a certain amount of time.
Trial, court, innocent, guilty.
No matter what the action is, the right to a fair trial FIRST protects us all from a police state, false accusations etc.
If he was tried as a terrorist ... lock him up.
A person has no understanding of how important that is. You went to war to protect that right and your enemy was the country that does not have that right. That is our ideology, a fair trial.


"The only commission member to again vote against the increase Thursday was Terry Cross, a senior advisor of the National Indian Child Welfare Association, a policy and advocacy organization for Indian children and their families."


It may have begun as a slur, but I think the Obama administration just ignored the Republican trolls and owned it.


Another pie in the sky write up from Charles......   I read them for a good laugh.  Instead of writing these fluff stories Charles should be focused on producing much needed streetcars for Toronto! Which begs another question, Why lay off workers in the last few years???


Actually according to an interesting book by E. J. Dionne, the nascence of the conservative movement goes all the way back to the Eisenhower administration. Though I agree the flames have been fanned more enthusiastically in the last couple decades and Gingrich is a leader in that.


I think some of this, racism, is culturally ingrained.  The Greek Gods and Goddesses were always portrayed as fair skinned and blond. Even Jesus was portrayed as a Caucasian. A more curious aspect is that the Aztecs welcomed the Spaniards as the fair skinned gods of their mythology.


In my simple way of looking at things the words 'oil company' and 'subsidy' don't belong in the same sentence....


Constitutional rights trump all other considerations.   Kaepernick can be fired for his protest, but constitutionally, the NFL cannot make Kaepernick's job dependent on him NOT exercising his civil rights.    That would be a violation of his constitutional rights.

What you don't understand is that you are NOT doing the same thing he is.    You are doing something else altogether, and the only commonality between your stated views and Kaepernick's act of protest is that no one is arresting you.   Other than that, your criticism has little to nothing in common with Mr. Kaepernick's act of protest.


You feel terrible for a driver who hits a pedestrian and leaves them in the road to die? Since when is that an upbeat and positive family value?


$0.80 over the next 6 to nine months??  Don't see how that is possible.  BoC will be very, very cautious in raising rates.  Fed could increase 3+ times this year.  There is NO way BoC raises rates 3 times.  Net result:  a lower, not higher CAD.  Ridiculous prediction.  BoC is and has been quite comfortable with a lower CAD.


Ample time to win it, if you cannot win in the time allotted then you suffer through a shootout.  If you do not like the shootout, do not let it get to that, win it.  And as if  overtime goals are not often just a fluke shot or play.


I do not know the properties of VX but as we read only a minute amount was needed to kill a human and the perpetrators don't seem to have after affects of applying the agent, reads like only glove used and no other special attire needed to protect themselves.

it also seem that VX has to be inhaled or the likes, why they having to spread on the face and not on clothes, hands, etc.  VX doesn't seem to be to hard to conceal at all.


"Jackson declined to be specific about how the FBI got the information that led to the investigation."  They got the information because all three of the guys arrested are actually FBI informants.


ACH:  So you are advocating using our military to solve a Mexican problem hmm....how foolish.  Why don't you send some of the protestors to help solve the problem.


Are you equally supportive of ALL religions, including Islam?

"One hopes, at least, that Trump will henceforth refrain from complaining that undocumented immigrants broke the law, seeing as he has just instructed his Treasury Department not to take action against pastors who still, technically, break a law which is still on the books."

The author needs to stop to stop playing lawyer and judge and stick to topics in which he ostensibly has some expertise.  In this country we still have a first amendment right to say virtually anything that we want (including pastors), so a pastor speaking from the pulpit about certain political matters, is not "breaking the law."  He merely (at least in theory) is risking the tax exempt status of his non-for-profit organization.  He is not forbidden from speaking under the threat of some criminal action.


Thanks for the response. I was taught in seminary classes (1964-65) that double effect was a valid principle. The example then given was a drug store clerk selling contraceptives and the conclusion was she was moral in performing her job duties, despite strictures against contraception. (I long since have rejected the notion of contraception as immoral, as have most Christians of all denominations). I do think that principle applies in the Kansas hospital case, where the aborting of the fetus was simply a necessary step in saving a life rather than killing two lives by inaction. So I do not accept that moral acts have an "intrinsic" status. We always have excepted massive killing in war, even if it involves "collateral" unintended damage.


Why could he not just say, "I have no comment.  I'm so busy making America great again that this is just not something I am going to discuss nor do I care about"?


Hey! Not cool! I've been to Turtles. The food's not THAT bad. Maybe he thought he was fighting the Ninja Turtles?


At the cesspool that is the modern world, yes daily.


You make it quite clear that you feel opposing injustice is a waste of time, and those who do so do it for the worst of reasons. I'm afraid that the response I would like to make would be deemed uncivil. What I will say is that your claim to be a Christian is questionable at best.

I suggest that you first read Isaiah 58, and then you have a long talk with your spiritual advisor about what it means. If he tells you that what you are doing is fine, then you need to get a new advisor. Concern for others is central to being a Christian. And your concern had better extend beyond your family.

Let people have a place to sleep.  I came upon a homeless vet sleeping on the grass in the middle of the day, so thin, I wasn't sure if he was alive.  He was starving.  He was sleeping there because they won't wake him up if he isn't covered - and there is nowhere you can rest at night where the police will leave you alone.
Sleeping, is a human right.  The homeless have to hide to sleep because the police won't let them.  Leave them ALONE.


Republicans call defunding public education "starving the beast of government." And of course since St. Ronaldus Magnus said that government is the problem, well, you get what you don't pay for - in this case an unenlightened electorate. And that is just as Republicans want it - all the easier to manipulate a dumbed-down public.


Honestly with all these theories from 9-11, Obama's birth certificate, and many more can anyone tell us of one that turned out to be true?

Your CEO friend meant if it ever became emotionally easy, I'm sure he'd tell you that if someone was clearly incompetent and hurting the business then the best thing, for everyone involved would be to demote the person. And that's what's being said here these incompetent buffoons need to be demoted, their elected MP's they can't be fired, only not elected next time.


This is a "Triumphant Editorial".  That is to say " I will triumph over anything and everything that was said or exhibited or on display at the RNC.  But if you take the I out

Trudeau spoke of "the middle class" from day one.  To him we each fit into a particular "class" box, a "gender" box", a "race" box, etc, and we're all in conflict with one another.  His different, identifiable class concept is Marxist-hued, which you'd expect from a family that was friends with Castro, Aga Khan, etc.


These are some awesome tips! I believe body language is one of the most important aspects of attracting women.

So before you meet this girl in real life make sure you are demonstrating dominating but not domineering body language. Avoid facing a women directly (90% of women get turned off by this) but once things start to escalate then turn your body toward her. I also wrote a whole bunch of other tips here:

The GTA has an abundance of under-used above-ground rights of way.  None of the listed cities, above, would ever waste the assets that lie idle in the GTA.  Unthinkable.
.
Toronto has existing, perfectly good, rights-of way from Union to Richmond Hill that would solve at least 80% of the eastern half of the DRL problem and interchange with the Eglinton Crosstown - without any tunnelling.  With political will, it could easily commence at least partial operation in less than three years.  The stations could be fancied-up later.
.
But no, we can't do anything quickly or economically.
.
No.  We blow the whole wad on a useless political boondoggle in Scarborough, or on spending 15 years boring an eye-wateringly expensive tunnel to Pape - that isn't even needed, or that could be built later, anyhow.
.
It only took six years to defeat Nazi Germany.
But it takes 15 years to build a tunnel to Pape?
.
This is the squandered opportunity of the last five years.

No compromises ???

A tragedy.

This morning the cable news networks dropped everything to focus on a Trump cabinet meeting, where nothing happened except for a staged photo-op and a round robin love fest so every cabinet member, including Mike Pence said their names and pledged fealty to King Trump.


Please America doesn't want the problems Europe is now facing. Wait till Trump ends sanctuary cities and takes he lead with the help of Russia to exterminate ISIS.
The protesters are going to be bouncing off each other runing from one protest to the next!
Yes vetting people from Iran and Syrah, the horror of it all, what joke!!!!
The left wing media still lives in deep denial and desperately needs to context with the American voters outside of its ivory towers.
One has to  muse at the fact that Clinton didn't win the popular vote on either of his terms but it's the Trump administration that is being described as illegitimate!!!!
One thing is certain, it's going to make for great media.


How can you stabilize a market without controlling costs?  By throwing more money that we don't have or aren't willing to spend (note the continual budget deficits) to fully fund?  Same as we do with SS, Medicare, Medicaid?  Throw what's under-funded on the debt?

This was looking pretty good until I got to the part about "a number of improvements that would be paid for by the state."  If this is a viable business model then there is private capital out there to fund it.  The taxpayers should not "go in the hole" to maximize private industry's profits.

Good acts of humility and docility.  Silent protests just after the Confiteor.    I like the sincerity.


It's ridiculous. People are afraid of their own shadows.


We have been at that point for many decades.


It is not journalists who are making the allegations, it is the US intelligence community. You are promoting "alternative facts" here in trying to blame the media for reporting what the intelligence community is saying. Political rumour mongering is like the promotion of all the Clinton "scandals" (including murder) by the loony right-wing media.
There is most certainly something rotten about the ties Trump and his cohort have with Putin. There is no doubt that the Russians aided Trump in his campaign.

Yet Donald J. Trump remains President of the United States, will almost certainly remain President of the United States until January 2021, and perhaps even January, 2025.

And if Neil Gorsuch, tens of federal judgeships, and a massive rollback of federal regulations is "flame-out", then by all means let the Republicans keep flaming out.  In fact, here's hoping that we flame-out more by Trump appointing another Supreme Court justice or two.  You know, because it's a stillborn administration.
