Peter: There are five Commissioners.  One, Pete Sorenson, is clearly quite liberal.  Mr. Sorenson spoke in opposition to the veto measure. Three are very conservative: Faye Stewart, Sid Leiken, and Jay Bozievich who was a founding member of the local Tea Party.  Pat Farr is, as best I can "guess" from his comments and positions, a "right of center" moderate.  As a liberal, I do have beliefs and values I promote; just as do conservatives.  This is not earth-shattering news.  However, one of the constitutionally protected mechanisms to promote those values is the initiative.  The Commissioners promoting this undemocratic preemptive veto are the three very conservative Commissioners (Bozievich, Stewart and Leiken).  As a liberal and as a (small d) democrat, I take great offense at these gentlemen's attempt to deny us our constitutionally protected freedoms.  I presume you do as well.  Perhaps we can put aside our partisan differences and work together to stop this measure.  regards, Gary


Also how TF is manipulating men a crime?! Also if he was so worried for his life, he had the opportunity to leave, wtf did he stay writing letters. Sounds like he was a manipulator to me. And according to the story, the son originally claimed to have seen only his father washing the gun but it suddenly changed to both of them? I smell a rat.


They don't have the authority to remove the constitutional privilege.  It is not a good thing, but it is a necessary thing, like legal abortion.  We need more outreach to victims, including confessional instructions for those who confess that they were abused to go rat out the priest.  Using the confessional as a system of informing on priests is as dark a practice as the information networks of St. Pius.


There was lots of false information about Paddock making the usual right-wing moron rounds after his mass murdering shooting spree. Outside of those nut jobs, his family and acquaintances described him as relatively uninterested in politics.

There was no waste of anyone's time, much less the media's.  The media is responsible for its own content whether facts or speculations of scandals.  Think of the content that could have been dedicated to other matters until the President either confirmed or denied taping anyone.  Next time do not speculate ad nauseum and stick to facts like journalists were (yes, were) educated to do,


Another nonsensical response. Keep up the good work, Roskell.


You may want to ask yourself, does Whidbey really need the extra bureaucracy (and the public costs that go with it) to have its two port districts?
It seems most of their new jurisdiction is in areas that port districts aren't normally associated with. It seems the ports of South Whidbey and Coupeville are merely dumping grounds for any areas the County Commission doesn't want to deal with anymore.
Whether or not it involves waterfront seems irrelevant.


Given the recent Stats Can information on how many young adults, this seems like a no-brainer? You can't live with your parents if you don't have parents handy to live with.


Thanks, Kenneth, for doing that research! Marvelous! Statelessness, as you point out, can be from any number of causes. No word, I presume, on how any of them felt about root beer....


Bought mine at Fort Clatsop up by Astoria.
Super bargain.


All the conservative fear-mongering turned out to be completely false as usual.  Thanks to progressives we now have a massive source of revenue, much of which was feeding drug cartels.  Your welcome conservatives!


You mean me specifically? Whether I choose to do my own work or not is quite none of your business lol

Also I'm sure you know that we already let more people into the country legally than any other country on the planet (about 1m per year), so I'm assuming you think it isn't enough?


You simply do not get it, thousands and thousands of people have died in Syria and no one cared, people killed by bullets or bombs or starvation are just as dead. Are you willing to accept these poor people into our nation, I doubt it. Our same nation stood by and watched Saddam use the chemical weapons we gave him kill people, not a peep. How many thousands of people has this nation killed in Iraq, Syria, Panama, and Afghanistan are they any less dead? So spare me the holier than though crap as if we are the good guys we aren't.


Ivanka is the daughter/wife.


It certainly should go right over his head when he can see that the Pope is calling for the islamisation of Europe.

Average cost per public school student nationwide: United States	$11,927
The most expensive private school in the United States:
The Lawrenceville School
Tuition and fees: $46,989 (one year)
Enrollment: 246
The schools' notion of financial aid is to pay in two installments or get a loan.
Is it necessary to even consider spending close to that much on public schools?  Of course not!
But never let rich tax dodgers tell you that money isn't a requirement to buy quality education for they certainly don't believe it.  If you believe it you're either a fool or a victim of under funded public education.


Trump may have a point about defense budgets, but the trade deficit is hardly Germany's fault.  Want to tip the balance?  Make better products at a fair price.

But I think Donald is crazy if he wants to threaten the EU -- even if they aren't ponying up as much cash for tanks and planes as he thinks they should.  If NATO crumbles, Putin will mop up.  And while Putin and Trump are buds, this won't do the US or the rest of the world any good at all.


When North Korea first lined artillery all along the border with the south, western politicians did nothing.
When North Korea first developed missile technology, western politicians did nothing.
When North Korea developed nuclear power, western politicians did nothing.
When North Korea developed its missiles to the point they can reach North America and Europe, western politicians did nothing.
Once North Korea puts a nuclear weapon on the end of one of these missiles, western politicians will do nothing.
And after the first city is nuked, politicians everywhere will scream "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???"

You know - the same way they did after Germany Blitzkreiged ts way across Europe.


All while wearing his cappa magna.


It's still obamma care. Trump had nothing to do with it. I hope he lets it continue so people like you suffer.


Wow...talk about out of touch. It's interesting how you credit yourself with winning the primaries, but can't win the general election because of the Evangelical vote. Really? I'm not religious and I voted against you because you were and are a  do nothing. Stop looking through your rose colored glasses and look at the cold hard facts. You lost to an unknown Republican. Why? You're going to blame everyone and everything else except looking at the cold hard facts. It's because of you that people didn't vote for you.


Wally Hickel, Arliss Sturgelewski, Bill Ray, Elmer Rasmusson, Jay Hammond, Clem Tillion,  Terry Miller, John Sackett,- These are just a few of the pre-oil Alaska Republican leaders who held more of an Alaska-Wide and All-Alaskan perspective rather than simply a rigid oil corporation or us-them perspective. If you don't recognize their names, you might want to do a bit of reading.


listen to the nut job talk about stripping usa people of their citizenships all cause they dont agree with them! , what a bunch of fascist losers you are.., you are the crazy that needs to be in check, get some help for your complete stupidity


I like Sears - I certainly hope they pull it off.

I recall Eatons' attempt at restructuring and their bizarre attempt to become a wall-to-wall "fashion" store, dropping practically everything else -  including furniture and its appliances (Eatons had the "Viking" brand).


"A needed course correction is in order. I’d recommend a required class on social responsibility and respect for the land and our planet. " TFF, Jay needs to go back to high school and see for himself how this dominates the curriculum today. This is heavily taught in our schools going back 45 years when I was a child. These folks are being educated at HKU now, and learning there are consequences for their actions. DUH.


I have already seen several diseases that show remarkable likenesses to conditions that have fallen off the radar screen over the past 25 years -- perhaps because they were too easy and inexpensive to treat, notwithstanding the severity of the condition.   So, they get a makeover and "rebranding" as something "sexy" sounding.

I'd love to see the sequencing.  Who does the interpretation?  Who decides what is important?   I have trouble getting straight answers about simple blood tests sometimes, let alone something as complex as this.

As well, I have seen medical specialists squirm when asked uncomfortable questions about the biochemistry of the conditions they treat.   A funny sight it definitely is not.

I'm not discounting the potential for genetics to reveal a whole new universe around health conditions.   When I read this case though, it doesn't ring true that it's a condition that requires a whole new treatment.   I sense some info is missing to arrive at a full diagnosis.


And the meaningless Liberal virtue-signaling continues unabated....


So is Bibi returning the US $38 billion Obama just gave Israel??

It is a matter of principle/not being a welfare state on the back of US taxpayers


I realize that what I'm about to say is an assumption and probably not the best thing to post, but I'll bet you $10 that she is a meth head too.  It just smells like it.  If she is hanging out with someone that hangs with a meth head what does that say.  Is it possible that it's guilt by association?  In my past, normally people with like interests hang together.


It's all about the MSM sponsored Trump hate program. In the view of the MSM propagandists they want you to believe that Trump is a right wing extremist sympathizer enabling neo Nazis to try and overthrow the neo liberal deep state agenda. Still even if Trump were not the POTUS at this time and Hillary was, Islamic Jihad would still be at war with the USA and probably will be for at least the next 100 years or more. Reality check time.


I can't imagine how they would have thought dragging someone off kicking and screaming, knowing it would be posted online, was a better solution than doubling their last offer for a volunteer.


It is a wrongheaded trend to impute or nurture more victim interest in criminal proceedings.  One of the hallmarks of civilization is the collectivization of justice.  When you offend, you offend not one, but all; and consequently addressing injustice becomes the prerogative of all, not the one offended.


Rumor is that Ivanka's government expenses are covered by funds from the after school program because she is officially his nanny. That means he'll be shooting himself in the s when cuts those funds. What a brainless idiot and embarrassment.


That's complete nonsense, your perception is the vetting is insufficient, because Trump said so.  Facts don't matter anymore.


What a productive reply. Certainly a significant contribution to the discussion. Perhaps you might wish to list where I fell short in my post.


Kentucky has wised up to McConnell and his cronies. moore is a great choice


So you are saying is that the various clans of privileged Brits (not even whites) got along  well with each other.

Benghazi?  (are you serious?)


Let's hope that you are right.


Rather than a decade in opposition, I would prefer their complete extinction.  They are, after all, Socreds and Reform operating under a false flag.


The tangible I speak of is a stable(ish) country that does not harbor terrorist groups that attack us. The reality is that any material wealth to be gained will go into Chinese pockets or possibly Indian pockets. Outside of US govt contracts, no US companies are operating there in any numbers.


And another delaying tactic. It will take two weeks for the vote


Then your sources confirm my claims. If they were dying as fast as they were being born - it would take only about 30 years to kill TWICE the population off.


To all you people jumping to conclusions... They already released the fact the shooter was NOT a liberal. In fact he has a multitude of Social Media posting being VERY anti-Hilary.

It's awesome watching all the Alt-Rights jump at the chance to blame while crying about unity while pointing the finger at the other side... only to find out, their accusations were false in the first place.  Hypocrisy at it's finest. But then, that is what this Election was founded on, Lies and Hate Speech.


Spoken like a Kali, fersure.


First off, this never happened in Syria.

That being said, Syria used to be a regional military threat.  Now they aren't.


^Misinformed.


They may have religious meanings for actively religious Catholics, but for most other Canadians they are simply traditional holidays that reflect our cultural history.

That is very different from the personal choice of group prayers with a sermon,which most definitely IS  a public declaration of faith.

A room where individuals can do private prayers or personal meditation is NOT what is at issue.


Volunteering at a clinic will not help you learn medical billing. It's a highly technical job that requires months of intense classroom/online training and testing. But you bring up the point that too little knowledge is available about what today's jobs entail in necessary training and matching with someone's aptitude and skills. She likes volunteering with Girl Scouts? She maybe should be looking at an afterschool program like after-school daycare or Boys and Girls Club, or an aide in a school or preschool instead of an office job.

One on one career counseling and coaching is desperately needed by people like the woman in the article. Making sure their efforts are for jobs that are a good match. Unfortunately, that expertise comes at a price that the unemployed can't pay and government hasn't budgeted.


My rights as a female are being eroded. Yes indeedy Morgan Carroll,  all women looooovvvveee the Affordable Care Act and  mismanaged public lands. You take those things away and I’m going to wear a pink pussy hat and screech like a Madonna at a women’s rights march....meanwhile huge democrat supporters like Weinstein and Clinton prey on women and the outrage is, well, subdued. HYPOCRISY!!!


I have no interest in living in a Theocracy.  The So-Cons can take their mythology and go home.  There is absolutely no place in Government for religion.  Zero.
People like Scheer will say they won't let their religion affect their decisions, but in my experience, people like this cannot.
I guess for me, its either Mad Max, or maybe divine intervention will deliver a saviour in the form of Chong.  (Irony noted).


;the guy who will be kicked after one term is in the office now, being the most out of touch delusional pm in our history, a card member of the cult of canada save the world bs,, its people like you that vote one party regardless of damage that is the real problem canada has, SHEEP!!  so get some help loser, canada is in real trouble and its liberals in ottawa and ontario doing the damage


Good points.
Even Pasteur was drummed out of the French Academy of Science for suggesting the germ theory.


Board members need to consider their future, a few resignations would be in order.

China produces about 28% of the greenhouse gases emitted by all countries in the world. The U.S.A. produces about 16% of the greenhouse gases emitted by all countries in the world.

Canada produces about 1.6% of the greenhouse gases emitted by all countries in the world.

Why is it so important for Canadian governments to impose a price and a tax on carbon or greenhouse gas emissions?

Shouldn't Canadian governments be telling China and the U.S.A. to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions?

If Canadians pay a carbon tax and Canada reduces greenhouse gas emissions and China and the U.S.A. don't, will that stop climate change?


My husband spent many years in the seminary where they were served lobster on Fridays.
When our children were young and we had many I would look at him and ask if he missed those Friday dinners.


Babette's Feast is the finest film I've seen with a faith theme.  It is not a hit you over the head message movie, but does  show the beauty and love that Babette, the title character, puts into preparing and serving a dinner for her several bickering and petty local guests - a eucharisitic feast that transforms them  into warm and kindly neighbors as they sit around the dining table.


Part 1.

Actually went to the game last night, I had to watch this battle in person, had a really good seat and I will leave at that. Couple of things, as I suspected Paxton really can't read a defense, that was very evident from my vantage point. Paxton would look at 1 or 2 Wrs, if they weren't open he would just run, whether or not the pocket broke down, that is a major red flag to me. And the few times he stay in the pocket for the most part couldn't located an open Wr in early part of the game.

The part most of you guys didn't see was when the Broncos went to commercial, the coaches were huddle around Paxton basically tell him the coverage. The coaches were basically telling Lynch the Bears are were running a few basic coverages. For the most part, the Bears were in cover two most of the night, Trevor Siemian know it and was slicing and dicing the Bears for 6/7 for 51 yards. The Bears weren't going to give up anything deep early on, be it Trevor or Paxton.

Not a chance. There are probably 20 districts larger than PPS west of the Mississippi. PPS isn't much bigger than other large districts in Oregon.


The non-partisan U.S. Congressional Budget Office said under the previous bill  (the one that failed) 24 million people would lose their coverage, and premiums for some elderly would triple. This bill is expected to be worse.
The 25% cut to medicaid is expected to hit special-education-needs children hard. Medicaid pays for things like speech therapists, behavioral therapists, and certain types of equipment that physically handicapped children need.
But in Republican eyes these kids are moochers in the system.
As Speaker Paul Ryan has said many times:  “the fatal conceit” of Obamacare is that healthy people have to pay for sick people.


You're living in denial Angus.  Having 500k in a bank account is an enormous benefit to anyone who is retired.  It would more than double the income of anyone on CPP/OAS for the next 25-30 years!


Well it he says there was  no collusion that's good enough for me. Looks like the MSM comes up empty again.(What else is new)


Not happy with HECO? Then you go write to your (D)onkey buddies and demand they put an end to the Jones Act so we can get cheaper fuel to lower HECO's fuel costs. HECO is very reasonable, given the circumstances. If there's a bone I want to pick, it's with the corrupt Department of Environmental Services municipal sewer system. They charge us a ridiculously high minimum base fee that far exceeds any actual costs to maintain the public sewer system and there's no option whatsoever to bypass them unlike your ability to bypass HECO with your own solar setup.


Who runs the Department of Justice?  Why do they get away with redacting these e-mails?  What's really not fair here is the Democrats know what the redactions are and why they have to keep them that way and the Republicans could care less.

If the Republicans were really fighting for the people to know the facts, she wouldn't be there and there wouldn't be any redactions.  We'll see how this is handled.  I just don't know why the President and General Sessions can't order the redactions removed and all the e-mails given to the committees.


If I worked at the EPA I'd jump on the opportunity to get out of there early in a heartbeat.  Morale must suck there these days.


I see the new opinion page and the comments from the register guard showing comments from other papers and am concerned that all of the comments are from the liberal point of view. I thought you were supposed to print the news not a one sided view. Some of us want to read all the news not just liberal diatribe. Excuse me for disagreeing with there misinformation.


Yes--ban all gill nets, and have a fishing kapu (moratoriums) rolling around each island.  Heavy enforcement of these moving moratoriums by DLNR every year can also help in keeping the area, and adjacent areas, clear of squatters.


Real humor is when there is an element of truth associated with the humor, and this is funny. Of course the left wouldn't understand, because they lack the ability to laugh and enjoy life. And they certainly can't laugh at themselves, hence political correctness, and college safe zones.


I imagine the espresso-based drinks at Tim Hortons will suffer the same fate as the espresso-based drinks at Second Cup - ruined by poorly trained staff that can't be bothered to make them properly and/or burn the milk when they are steaming it.


Only if one was committing treason would one want a private back-channel line to America's enemies.

What your missing is we are Americans. We live in the land of the free and home of the brave. It's not Russia.  We don't need a passport unless we're traveling to a foreign country.  We don't need a passport to travel between states.

That is truly bigoted comment.


Nice try. Failed


Oahu has to stop growth! this is the only way to stop the need for 'rail',  water,  electricity and garbage dumps.  People has to stop getting so much children too.


This new way of commenting is terrible - adolescent happy faces like some high-school facebook post. Secondly, Trudeau's comment on Castro is par for the course from a smug naive idealist - he's never had to work a day in his life and it shows with this laughable ignorance normally reserved for student union leaders still working on their first undergrad after 10 years of "social justice". Trudeau fawning over a communist dictator who massacred his political opponents against a wall upon coming to power, just not ready? That hair though...


Two points.
First, the battle with the provinces demonstrates why the federal government should get out of providing any funding other than equalization payments.  The provinces have all the same taxing powers of the federal government except for import duties but they also collect all the money from lotteries.  Of course, to stop funding the provinces the federal government needs to drop their taxes by exactly the amount of the cut in transfers or it will be nothing but a huge tax grab.  By having the federal government inserting itself into provincial funding simply increases the bureaucracy of both to monitor and report on the spending.
Second, provinces are mature forms of government that are responsible to the voting public.  If the residents of the province doesn't like what the provincial government is doing, it can vote them out.  Hence it makes perfect sense to provide equalization payments with no strings attached.


Sad but true.


As a Physician Assistant in the rural areas, I've seen rampant "legal drug dealing" by my peers and many other health care providers. I am describing the routine if not gratuitous prescribing of controlled medications to the demands of "patients". I often ask what is being treated in the patients being given opioids routinely, only to hear "pain" or see a blank face. Pain is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom. The use of opioids to treat "chronic pain" is not the standard of care or recognized as appropriate therapy. I can't cite the specific numbers but there had been a more than massive increase in the prescribing of opioids in this country over the past 20 years. The problem is providers opened the floodgates and now the those downstream are drowning.


One is quite ignorant to believe the recreational use of marijuana and its societal effects remain in the home.


I'm not sure where you are talking about when you say the bark is smoother than the bike paths, but around where the bark trails actually are, the bike paths seem smoother.


Good deal. Go for it. People will be more than willing to pay for a revenue stream that returns an average of 10% a year. This, in the end, will be a very saleable asset.


uummm...uuhhhh... personal use?


Surprise, surprise. All those pesky ethics rules get in the way of Republicons. Putrumpskis everywhere: You are responsible for this.


The jive man coming thru Alaska why don't they refuel in the air.


Trump''s billionaires budget helps people get off federal programs by ripping them out from under them.


Good question, Randy.  You most likely won't get many answers because there aren't any.  Since day 1 after Trump's election, there has been constant whining, gnashing of teeth, accusations, and finger-pointing.  Not only have supporters of the loser candidate refused to accept the Constitutionally-elected president, but they have daily refused to acknowledge any of the positives President Trump has made.  Liken their actions to spoiled brats who refuse to accept reality and act out their perceived wrongs in whatever way they feel.


"Don't cry for him openwater, he took on the (self professed) Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, and he won."

Not really, BurtEarnest.  And then there was the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal lawyer he defamed and to whom he had to pay $55,000 in damages and costs.


In theory, the justices are protecting the intent of the Constitution.   There are nine appointees, steeped in education and experience designed to keep the constitution relevant to the modern world's challenges.   The SC was designed for exactly this purpose.   Lifetime terms mean the justice commitment is to the law, not the political interest of a single party.   If the constitution has to have a foundation, it cannot be subject to the whims of popularity.

The founders had no way of anticipating what we now refer to as global warming.    The modern supreme court will look at course cases for the last 200 years to look for precedence.

At all times, the Supreme court is talking for a Constitution that can't speak for itself.   In theory.


Sumida also has an "up to"  $700K mortgage on the house that the Feds are trying to seize (according to an earlier article on the Feds Seizure efforts).

Briener has probably been paid beaucoup bucks up front.

Are the Feds trying to squeeze the Kealohas into going to the Fed Public Defender's Office as an act of last resort?  To be represented by one of Silvert's colleagues?

Man, what's next?

No doubt the Kealohas are ruined.  But, seems like the Feds are trying to add to Hawaii's homeless problem here.

At some point, this could appear to be piling on, if it isn't already.  But, then again, can't see how there's much sympathy for the Kealohas right now.  So, the Feds still have some room.


I agree with you, ChrisB., but Republicans brought this problem on their own by denying medical insurance coverage that could get people healthy again. It happens on the streets, and it happens in prisons. Whereas people could be working and have employer-sponsored coverage, Republicans keep them in prison for extra long, which costs extra money (I thought Republicans didn't like government spending) and keeps tax revenues lower (unable to work while in prison, so no taxes where there's no income), where the inmates are eventually released unable to work, due to medical neglect. Then Republicans keep those with criminal records from working, by allowing employers to discriminate against them. This happens to the tune of an estimated $65 billion annually in lost GDP. And, as pointed out, this loss of tax revenue is compounded by the added expense of welfare, more crime, and higher criminal justice costs.

Always fun to math things out. Of that 14m people of Ontario, a good portion will grow their 2 plants that the Federal government approved on their own or have a friend grow it for them. The dispensaries will not be closed because they are open now and its still illegal. The black market will still be alive to serve lower prices. Then there's the mail order system were you can order it from anywheres in Canada. Plus you'll have Ontario residents traveling to other provinces and bring back cheaper or at least different strains for self use and maybe for other family and friends.


How do you distinguish a just law from an unjust one and a beneficial law from a sociopathic one? What Constitutional obligation do states like Colorado have to spend their own resources enforcing Federal law generally? What standards or metrics do you apply, and how do you apply them, here?


If you vote for someone whose party celebrates killing developing humans, or if you don't vote at all, you will have those developing humans rise up against you in the judgement.


GM and the Post are going the way of the 8-track and vinyl record. Remember when MP3 came along everyone was so worried musical artists would disappear. Well have then? No, music has become better. Same thing with the new. Youtube and the internet provide independent journalist space to provide high quality news with less corporate bias. The main stream media is like pop bands, full of calories but little substance.


The hacking is no more of a threat then the candidate Lillary does. She is the real threat to the US Citizens. She has shown to us that she can't be trusted in the least between her Email scandal, Watergate, Clinton Foundation, & being the BUTCHER of BENGHAZI. She just shrugs off the past wrong doings that chase her & goes on. WHAT DIFFERANCE WOULD IT MAKE, as LILLARY words from her mouth. ALOT LILLARY. THE REAL FACT BEING YOU NOT TRUSTWORTHY & CAN'T BE TRUSTED IN THE LEAST. THAT IS THE FACTS AS THEY ARE.  NO LIES HERE LIKE FROM YOUR MOVING LIAR LIPS. JUST THE TRUTH

Bears (bald eagles, mountain lions, etc.) are common in many of Vancouver / Victoria's suburbs and on rare occasions in the cities themselves. But rarely are they shot. Due to extreme topography, wildlife has continued to coexist there.
It is time for those parts of the county where wildlife has been extirpated to learn how to live with nature and take measures such as bear proofing their garbage and gardens to ensure that wild bears don't become nuisance bears and wildlife authorities get appropriate training to deal with...wildlife!

Kathy Griffin is getting far too much attention and I can't help but feel that this is all a calculated stunt designed to get her some attention.

Kathy who?


It's almost twenty-five years since I received that call, also from my sister, about my father.  A quarter of a century later, I still miss him, still think almost every day about one thing or another I want to tell him or ask him.  This is not a sadness for me, but a great joy, in that my father is not only alive with God, but alive within me and my siblings.  I know, Michael, that this will be true for you and your father, too.  May he rest in peace with your mother and with God forever!


Life expectancies are averages. That means that you have a 50% chance of exceeding average life expectancy, and a 50% chance of not reaching it. "Ken's ancestors" is not a statistically valid sample.

Life expectancies are increasing, and a bunch of nascent biotechnologies suggest that life expectancies will increase A LOT in the near future. That factor, which Vettese ignored, weighs very heavily in my mind in favour of deferring my CPP and maximising the monthly benefit. I might well be able to start at age 70 and collect for many decades.

Seriously...could he (or anyone else on this rock) have gotten this too sweet gig were he NOT the mayor??? Is he useful to the bank as an "average Joe"? Does he and the bank think we're all so blatantly stupid? They must or they wouldn't have done it right?

In some other regions (Singapore is first to come to mind) they pay government officials along the lines of corporate executives in order to keep the temptation of corruption at bay. Is the salary Caldwell receives not enough for full time, dedicated work??? I'd rather think anything six figures in Hawaii is not unreasonable...especially if one has saved thousands over the years in property taxes with an "historic home".

This needs to be a frontline issue alongside the fiasco choo choo.


I'm all for the people choosing what they do and do not want put into our public water system, but at least make an educated decision. I for one don't support Dustin, the guy can't even spell the name right (it's fluoride, not floride Dustin), so what makes you think he's even deliberately studied it's chemical make-up and possible use(s)? By the way, I went to school with this guy, his past and possible   present use of narcotics and alcohol might not be helping his ability make sound and intelligible decisions.


By gawd Trump's done changed the compass headings!

That's too far!!


I don't think pulling a 40 ton rotting carcass out far enough on the mud to be taken by the tide is really workable. And how do you sink it to prevent it just beaching again?

Maybe they could get that Sitka dynamite guy up here and blow it up, like the one in Oregon? ;)


They both lie. Believe me look harder and you will see the comparisons. Where did they both get their money... daddy!

Spicer: Trump Was Using 'Military' As An 'Adjective' To Describe Deportations

Trump tweets and his firemen try to put out the fires.

Worst administration ever.


Let them dig their graves! If they let the voters vote on it I would vote YES in a heartbeat. The day Honolulu County goes bust as a result is the day the swamp gets drained!


Chicago-North, thanks to Berkowitz!


Thanks for the clarification. Others?


Humour ?
Like Hitler was "humoured" by the "poorly educated" ?


Then again, Ford has had two consecutive years of record profits. Tesla has only ever seen the word "profit" in headlines containing the word "surprise." It'll be interesting to see if they can sustain the love.


Mayor El Porko is a sick, repulsive, person.  She is a disgrace to Latinos, not only in Puerto Rico, but around the world. Disgusting-o ...


Again, understanding that Trump is (again IMO) a sociopath makes it easier to understand his actions.  He demands total personal loyalty...not the kind of loyalty Comey presented...loyalty to our County and to his job, but loyalty to Donald J. Trump.  As the host of TVReality show "The Apprentice", his attitude and actions were consistent with his "stage" persona.  We're finding that was not a "stage" persona...it was the persona of a sociopath and represented the "real" Donald Trump........not very fitting for the President of the United States.  Gary Crum


He already has.


What a beautiful message. Any Christian should be ashamed of what has happened to our country. I hope Sunday will come soon. Until then, we've been overrun by a thrice-married, cheating, lying, sociopathic, greedy atheist that only worships the almighty dollar. God save us.


What don't you understand about the simple, obvious point that we are not talking about returning presidential elections is not what we propose and not what we would do, since presidential elections were never decided by the popular vote of all the citizens, those elections have always been decided by heavily weighted electoral colleges. For that reason, no one is talking about "returning" a vote to the people that has never existed.

This proposal does not go against the Constitution, because the Constitution left it up to the states how to allocate their citizens' votes to the electoral college. So far Bill, you are not following this simple statement of facts. I don't think you know what this is about at all. Have a pleasant evening.


Imagine if Obama was caught with some political or business connection to Russians.
He'd have been impeached, imprisoned, and who knows what else.

But seems to me many top elite American wealthy have connections to Russia since the 90's. American corporations have become established in Russia, many political authorities have been trying to establish some kind of American-style "democracy" in Russia, connections between Russia and the US in the global economy are bigger and closer than ever. More important, what the establishment doesn't want us to realize is Putin's brand of expansionist fascism and imperialist fascism in the US are similar in many ways.


Renzetti is completely missing the issue by painting Warren as a victim; the truth is that there has been such a backlash against the Senators who tried to silence her, that Warren has emerged from this debacle looking (quite rightfully, I'd say) as the hero.  Her popularity -- which was already good -- has soared higher.  The Republicans' tactic to silence her totally backfired.

Not sure why the feminist narrative is perpetually telling stories of victimization, when we clearly have a positive outcome for Elizabeth Warren that deserves to be told.


Hey, there, Doc.  See my comment for latest stats.
Try to keep up.


You asked yesterday if anyone asked the protesters their thoughts about white supremacy... I did run into one interview online:
"Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him “proud to be white.”

He said that he’s long held white supremacist views and that Trump’s election has “emboldened” him and the members of his own Nazi group."

Well, there you go! An actual interview about a rallygoers thoughts on white supremacy.

If Paxton had the results that Trevor has done, everyone would be anointing him our franchise guy but since he is a 7th rounder, the guy gets ridiculed as a game manager without much of a skill set.

Give me a smart QB who can move the chains and make the right decisions...I will take that guy anytime over the more highly touted guys with the better physical stats but are not good decision makers.

It's an important year for Siemian...if he succeeds and makes the playoffs, he will probably get his payday at the seasons end.


I strongly object and disagree with your comment. He was not, I repeat not charismatic!.


When your parents told you they meant to have you was the most stupid thing.  But seriously, any politician who advocates needlessly creating a wasteful and unaccountable new government agency which was predicted to become the disaster HART has become shows how unfit Djou is for any public office.  HART never had to be created.  These bureaucrats used to work in the Rail Division of the City's Dept. of Transportation Services, where the City Council and the Mayor would be responsible for the budget and for any screw ups.  Now, thanks to Djou, the politicians get to blame the faceless HART agency while pretending to be blameless.


Tax decreases will expand business, hire more workers? The ol' trickle down-is a scam-


Kaneshiro again for You, Henry? Tsk


The PFD "raise" by the House is a total bait and switch to get their hands into your pocket.  Since the dividend under the actual formula would be north on $2500 this year, even the "generous" cap of $2000 is taking your money. But they hope people will buy into the income tax in return for the bigger dividend check.  Of course nothing stops Gov. Bill from vetoing most of the $2000 dividend (as he did last year) AFTER you all drink the income tax kool-aid.   In the end you will get no dividend AND  an income tax AND a guaranteed bloated State government in perpetuity. The trouble with this whole concept is it only works until you drive off all the middle class working people you expect to pay the income tax.


Why is Ontarian politicians has no constructive ideas on housing development whatever the issues was it has to be from British Columbia, and Alberta. Are the local politicians high school graduates only? Watching the legislature it was just complaints and defenses only Charles Sousa able to talk some sense and also John Tory Toronto mayor


governemnts shouldn't interfere in most of the things we do.


so sad.  there were 100,000 of these magnificent creatures until europeans and americans brought them down to a couple  hundred  in less than 150 years.
Somewhat like the bison: 30,000,000 down to 1000 in less than 50 years.  All for sport, genocide, and machine belts.


Why not criticize Obama and Loretta Lynch for not taking action against the Mexicans that burned the US flag and waved the Mexican flag in San Jose at a Trump rally?  No, not a word on that except for Fox News.


"He was the best single Canadian intelligence asset in theatre, and his hard work, personal bravery, and dogged determination undoubtedly saved a multitude of Coalition lives.

Through his courage and dedication, Major Sajjan has single-handedly changed the face of intelligence gathering and analysis in Afghanistan.

He tirelessly and selflessly devoted himself to piecing together the ground truth on tribal and Taliban networks in the Kandahar area, and his analysis was so compelling that it drove a number of large scale theatre-resourced efforts, including OPERATION MEDUSA, a large scale conventional combat operation that resulted in the defeat of the largest TB insurgent cell yet identified in Afghanistan."

Still feeling besmirched?  I'm really not sure what the fuss is about.  "...his analysis was so compelling that it drove a number of large scale theatre-resourced efforts, including OPERATION MEDUSA..." sounds reasonably architectural to me. Is this a tempest in a teapot?


What I am saying is that there is not point in presenting a response that you would not understand.


Donald was a no show, he had a hair appointment, so Melania took Theresa  shopping instead. I don't know how this will play back home said Mrs. May, but, I did get some nice dresses. She didn't get much from Melania about Donald, I mentioned Brexit to her and she thought I was talking about a poodle.


Alaska has paid out up to 65% of development costs in Cook Inlet for a possible $1 return.  Are we getting fleeced? Like sheep in the shearing shed.


I sincerely hope the Republicans who were so incensed with previous Presidents signing "executive orders" will speak up. I wasn't happy about them before and not happy now, so how many conservatives will join me?


Why do Republicans hate the poor and the sick?


Thanks again, Mr. Reynolds. I think if enough people are made aware of what people in power at the Port have done (and are doing), a groundswell big enough to be heard will push this matter into the light of day. It's scary to do this alone, and has caused great stress and harm not only to me but to my family as well. I will keep up the good fight, and I will not cower from these evildoers! Please pray for me to keep the strength to see this through.


They were in International waters.


Anne McLellan has a point -- up to a point. If the period that the government takes to introduce legislation is short then her position is tenable. If it is long then it is not. The longer the government takes the more problems are going to arise. The simple message is get on with it.


the developers have Scarpitti by the short hairs.  we are just a nuisance to our elected officials who only do what they told by the great money bearing developer.....corrpution runs deep.  We need the tax to at least mitigate some of the corruption.  I know it won't fully work but it is a start.  Don't trust Scarpitti in any way.  He doesn't have your best interests at all.  Just his and the great money giving developers. Pretty pathetic.


Dan Brown only considers the entire record, not just the orthodox tradition that became authoritative in the New Testament because of the intervention of the Roman emperor Constantine - who was baptized only on his deathbed, and used and co-opted the church to politically consolidate his control over the empire - to the point of demanding that Nicene council fathers resolve the divinity of Jesus question.  That was in 325 A.D. - fully three centuries after the Christ with none of the first witnesses still hanging around.

No matter how much you try to suppress the gnostic traditions in Christianity, no one can deny their presence even in the New Testament.  The "beloved disciple" was most certainly more likely to be Mary Magdalene, but that tradition has been obviously wrenched out of the text with silly ideas about the relationship of Jesus and the evangelist John.


Danno, you are best off ignoring Marty.  He's not worth your bother.


I recall that incident as, due to your consistently weird-and wonderful uniqueness, I thought you were an Aquarian.  (It's always my highest compliment.)


In addition to shorter length, the RG would do well to correct letters for grammar before publishing them.  Even more welcome would be fact-checking.  It's one thing to publish opinions, however much some of us disagree with them;  but quite another to publish false assertions.


Bingo! Exactly.

Everyone wants to feel they have some control over their lives, and that includes living in a country that cares about you, and that controls its own borders and laws. Everyone wants to feel secure in their own home, both individually and collectively, and not feel they can be displaced by anyone who decides they like your home better than theirs, with their government's blessing.

The social divide today is between those who feel confident they can flitter across countries and continents pursuing the best education and career options for themselves or their children, and to hell with those who can't, and the latter.


There is truth to the 'research will lead to gun-control'.  Back when the funding was removed from the CDC (~2.5 million from a 2.2 billion budget) you had people claiming to be researchers saying how much they hated guns, and they were going to PROVE their point thru tax payer funded research.  i.e. stating a conclusion and then building data to support the desired conclusion.  NOT science.  Add that the CDC started giving grants directly to gun control groups to organize protests, and it's no wonder they got such a healthy slap on the wrist.

No other government or public entity has such a budgetary ban, btw.


Can you understand that Alaskans cannot afford to lose a 65% reduction in federal healthcare funding?

Of course, it's not that you can't understand...it's that you refuse to understand. It's what happens when you continue to listen to the people that have been lying about healthcare for 7 years.


hahaha keep trotting that out ... as said before .. not even the 9th circuit would stretch it that far ...  as said before nothing burger ..


What do you think were / are the failings of  Justices John Sopinka, Ian Binnie, or current Justice Suzanne Côté?  Going back in time, how about Justice Ivan Rand - one of Canada's best Supreme Court justices ever?

None had been judges before appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada.


Rolf L. Bilet, Aleppo will be so much better of when Trump teams up with Putin.


Nope.

"Premiums will decrease $2,700." Barack Obama. Republicans were lock out of any debate, or committees. Obama told all Congressional lead "HE WON", which mean it was his way or the highway.

Well, no surprise.  Worshipping at the altar of Mediocrity.  If money is spent on giving the mistress salary increases, and expenditure is wasteful. there will be no money for Athletics.  What a grubby little bunch of crooks...


The problem with your assumption is that no one is talking about raiding the Permanent Fund, which is protected by the Alaska Constitution.  What is being discussed is how to deal with the earnings from the fund.

Whichever plan is implemented, the fund will still be around in 10 years.


these seasons and regulations are made behind closed doors.much like how our city council works,they hold public meetings,disregard them and do as they wish.


Wonder how many supporters of this knee jerk law and fine are the same people always whinging about too much government interference, bureaucracy and meddling?????


This is a dense piece and a great deal of lip service paid to the ANC. The truth is  there are two avenues  to radical economic reformation, the word revolution is just sound and fury; unless the final objective is destruction of the economy as has been happening  for  the last two years.

In society we have thieves and builders. Some are merely  out to gather the spoils of the conflict so they promote conflict to facilitate their elicit gains and they use  thieves to this end by feeding them percentages. Our state has been hijacked by carpetbaggers. By state I mean the people and their institutions created to allow the proper running of society.  I DON"T mean the executive and the legislature with their current incumbents who have spent their time in office promoting  ANC interests and facilitating grand larceny instead of earning their salaries.  The state has been usurped by the people paid to run it, they imagine they are greater than the state.

It's time to start building!

Come on Louie! You know that laws generally don't apply to Democrat Party officials. You can't mention rules that were broken for friends of the Hick.


torontoguy, the bill is for ALL citizens, not just what you call your "average citizen" - whatever that is.


If  may slightly re-write the headline:  "Something indigenous people can agree on: making life worse for Canadians."


And you have Donald Trump, you want to call someone a clown and then make it racist.  Have you read the news lately, with all the sexual harassment claims against White Men?  But, I digress. I learned a long time ago, when someone makes an stupid racist statement, consider the sources and move on.


Canada: accepting refugees since 1492


I know all those pesky public schools, traffic lights, police officers, military members, firefighters, healthcare for elders... a real horror show!


Enforcing current immigration laws is a start.


And this surprises any thinking person?


Trump's an actor. You think HE'S neat.


Ever since the "trickle down theory" was found to have a "trickle up" result.


So she would be impeached based on the same findings they currently have on Trump? Sure dems have less control but there isnt anything to go on so no it wouldn't be any different. You think the media would shield us from actual facts that would justify impeaching Trump? I think a big difference is literally the entire media spectrum is a little bit left leaning to left leaning, so the Clinton years and the Obama years were immune to that. They didn't have thousands of outlets like this all droning together deciding peoples opinions for them. I don't even know what this thing was supposed to be.


Kailua resident Mark Steiner told Council members that he rents out a room in his house through Airbnb to visitors that “I know will spend money in the community.” Steiner said he offers a different kind of experience for visitors. “There are not hotels in Kailua — none, no motels in Kailua, and there are other parts of the island with the same situation,” Steiner said.   Really Mr. Steiner?  Guess why there are no hotels/motels in Kailua? ....because it's a residential community and we want to keep it that way!  If A&B would lease their properties to people with businesses that would appeal to the locals....us locals would like to spend money in our own community!


Where's the arbitrariness?


WHITE LIVES MATTER!! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!!


What opened Pandora's box was the lack of faith in the Conclave by JP II and Benedict.  If there was an underdeveloped or "evil" change it was the refusal of these two popes to have faith in their own church to change in the necessary ways pointed out by Vatican II.  This did begin when Cardinal Otavani convinced Pope Paul that the church should not accept Birth Control Medications.  It is very interesting that you continue to bring up sexual license, promiscuity and homosexuality as all were part of the terrible clerical scandal that JP II attempted to eschew.  These two Popes very much decreased  the hope of the laity.  However in the story of Pandora, remember that Hope was kept in the box.  There are hopeful parts of our church today that are so often obscured by the condemnation by so many reactionary thinkers so fearful of proper changes.  Of Course these two Popes did nothing about the laundering mafia monies in the Vatican Bank.  Lots of hope lost there.....!


You can get all the information you choose to  believe from opposing sources. Good luck.  My candidate won by over 2,800,0000 votes.


Like trump?


Do you get exhausted crying about racism?  Probably not, since you get paid by your number of posts.


It's his own damn fault for taking Medicaid patients when the reimbursement is half of normal dentistry costs.. let this be a lesson.
Much easier to not accept these problem patients .


"Shark" isn't a species, it's a superorder made up of over 500 species. 85% of those species aren't threatened, they are abundant, and were so before Rob Stewart came along.


Now White Rabbit by Grace Slick makes sense!  Keep your head.....Keep your head!.....


Hmmm.  'Exposed' is perhaps not the best word to use here.

On the other hand, If Paul Ryan was talking about the RINO-esque group in Congress, exposed would be the perfect desired state....


Good point. I have not understood the retort "who cares" in the context of a public discussion. Is is possible that the person making that statement thinks that since they don't care no one else does either?


Because he's listening to his constituents... imagine that.


Churchill has been a black hole for decades. Even if $43 Million is spent to repair tracks, the line will continue to work at a lose and the tracks will get flooded out again. Time to get on the plane and move south.


It seems that both  surviving Trudeau brothers  are idiots  searching for their village.


So in the name of Christ , each side should keep demonizing the other , calling names and building hatred?  How does that accomplish anything of value? My vote goes to the search for common ground.

Sorry to have to  give you the "bad news, Ponokeali'i" but the Hawaiian Kingdom no longer exists as a "governmental entity" and has not for more than 100+ years.   Hawaii's last reigning monarch abidacted her throne and authority.  So go ahead and "put on air's and give yourself fancy titles" it means nothing in the State of Hawaii; where you have "no standing" as a legit member of any recognized goverment, as others have tried the same and failed to gain traction or legitimacy.


Thanks Poplak! I'm outa here - going to slit my throat!


you think these bureaucrats keep you safe??


And therefore Trudeau and Morneau are not wealthy?

I suppose no amount of retraining can teach someone logical thinking.  Welfare is definitely needed.


interesting


So uhh here's some obvious ideas to improve downtown at night: Regular hourly nightly patrols by walking city policemen (not red hats that have no power to directly address any illegality - pointless!),  a fully staffed police office (instead of an empty police office and unoccupied police vehicles - again pointless!  is this a duck hunt?  decoy?), street-level CCTV Cameras, shared business community security standards, privatization of business fronts/sidewalks to report and enforce: aggressive or violent behavior, laws and regulations regarding public mental health, solicitation (of any kind), camping, loitering...  The list could likely go on and on.  When will enough be enough?  When will change take place to vastly improve the culture of Downtown Eugene?  This situation should not be tolerated.  It should not be allowed to fester and grow...  If you want Downtown Eugene to be classy and profitable then you have to fully invest in creating a hospitable environment.


Have they got this guy yet? I'm probably wrong but I think I just saw him in Kenai.


I would expect you to look at the economics of the situation.  It will cost the NHL millions to send their players.  The advertising options are limited as IOC denied rights to NHL.  Where is the big win if they have no presence when at the olympics


This morning the Globe reported that Trudeau was going to "end" these events.

But it turns out all that is happening is, according to this report, "The Liberals are going to remove the veil of secrecy from fundraisers ... requiring the events to be transparent, open to public scrutiny and reported to Canadians."

So for the record, this morning's report was Fake News.


The Leafs look good, no question, (being up 2-0 would not be undeserved) and while they are unlikely to triumph,  it would be something to see them win this series....

One thing that occurs to me, is the natural ability to show leadership...I have not seen him play much, but from what I have, Mcdavid in Edmonton certainly appear to posses it. It is still very early, in their careers, but you see how far above McDavid is from Mathews, (and in some ways, age-adjusted, Ovechkin.)

If you look at the goal McDavid scored the other day, you could see he can carry a team..much like Orr, time and the gravity on the ice just seems to bend around him when he is flying. It will be a long time (if ever) some like Eichel, Laine, and Matthews (who certainly can deliver "the numbers"),  deliver it when most needed...after all they are still "kids".....perhaps the wrong thread, but I just noticed how it was missing (relatively speaking)...


It’s certainly lost the sting it had a generation or two ago.

I grew up in the 70s, and it wasn’t until John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero” that I heard the f-bomb in a song (although the MC5 both predated and outdid him with Kick out the Jams – I just hadn’t heard it).

Now it seems that no film, comic monologue, or ‘edgy’ piece of music is complete unless it’s included.


But Justin Trudeau is not the first person, or the last, to have fallen for the idea that Fidel Castro and his regime were something other than what they were

. A decade ago, Mr. Trudeau’s brother, Alexandre,
penned an essay for the Toronto Star in which he heaped praise after praise upon the “superhuman” Castro:

something wrong with  that family Trudeau

"...but the reality is that China will what is best for China.."

Well, that's pretty much a statement of the obvious.  The real point here is that China is in the global game.  Trump wants out of the global game.  Trump is not a player on the global stage and he does not want the USA to be - - he wants the USA to isolate itself.


Of course we've been as lucky; we avoided Hillary, didn't we?


"racist" is just a hate slur that you call white people

you would not advocate turning Asia non-Asian or Africa non-African as that would be GENOCIDE.

But once we get to White countries,  you will do and say ANYTHING to turn EVERY white country non-White -  it's GENOCIDE as defined by international law.

you SAY you are "anti-racist",  what you are is ANTI-WHITE

Anti-Racist is a code word for Anti-White


The MUD coalition's former executive secretary admits now that the opposition strategy was to foment insurrection. https://venezuelanalysis.com/print/13452

"[MUD leaders] failed in their proposal for insurrection - what do I mean when I say insurrection well you remember the speech on the 3rd of July in Chacao. The four key phrases used then were - national uprising, upsurging rebellion, zero hour and general strike. That's a proposal for insurrection. The insurrection failed, they failed at [this] past election and on top of that they don't like dialogue."

Funny thing, insurrection. Confronted with two kidnappings in Montreal, a previous Trudeau government claimed it 'apprehended an insurrection' and imposed martial law across Canada. And three years earlier, it told France to butt out of Canadian politics.

But even when insurrection is openly admitted in Venezuela, the Trudeau government thinks it has the right to intervene against the elected president.

What does "Liberal" mean?


I would pay cash for access if throwing rotten fruit and eggs was permitted.  My tickets cost could be more for our Ontario province wreckers gala.


Indeed, the whole bank fiasco from so many days have not just created an environment of confusion but has also led people to not to trust on any government or private organization. If White Monopoly has plotted it against Guptas then they haven't plotted it well because several questions question the intensity of allegations by banks and the way they have treated Guptas so far unprofessionally.


Obama was a fool


not so long ago richard nixon was thought to be suited to be president.


Rubbish.  Marijuana has been around since the third day of creation.  Please don't give any credibilty to Reefer madness.  Marijuana is far less dangerous than a host of so called legal products.

A shame you didn't provide a link to that study.  I would have liked to have seen if there were any critical reviews of it.


It's true the left are threatening democratic principles but I have high hopes they won't succeed.


Awesome.
Doug Saunder's is really the cuck-of-the-walk at the Globe and Mail.


Where you really need a gun


Hillary Clinton is anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment.  She believes there are too many gun owners in America.  She has pledged to support all gun control measures including the confiscation of guns either through voluntary government buy backs to background checks, to registration, to indoctrination of children in public schools, through healthcare questioning about guns in the home.  The Second Amendment is the only defense Americans have against Hillary Clinton.


American braintrust managment screwed this one up royally


Even with the 3.8% this bill is still basically a tax cut bill for the rich. You ask how this is so. It is because the cuts to Medicaid and much, much lower subsidies for those buying their own insurance add up to billions, which the Republicans have earmarked as tax cuts for those who make over $250,000 per year. McConnell's changes in the bill amount to a small pittance of what the actual costs to Alaska will be.


Ah the simplification of a complex issue to the point of making it irrelevant! Brilliant, but it offers no solutions!


As long as they maintain a steady level of training then I think this is a great idea. Well, it has to be coupled with very good security of those firearms to keep them out of the hands of kids.

How many people could some deranged shooters kill in 30 minutes while waiting for law enforcement to arrive? Sad that this is necessary but glad that there are those who are willing to step up to protect the kids, fellow staff, and themselves.


If they shoot at one bomber , the other bomber releases the bomb which destroys N. Korea.

I googled Pershing missile but it is not air launched. We probably have some on the ground in south Korea. Over 1000 mile range and about 80 kilotons nuclear. Hopefully we've taken these types of missiles out of Europe and Ukraine. No warning so no defence is possible. It's called mutually assured destruction.

But I'm sure the bombers may have carried the air launched missiles close to or over n Korean air space. They may have a greater range and payload than a Pershing because they're fired from a high altitude and speed.

We continually practice non-nuclear invasions with thousands of n Korean troops. It's called regime change. The n Koreans know we mean business. That's why they are developing a nuclear weapon - for their own self-protection.


The current framework won't eliminate black market.  Quantities are too small and once the Ontario government gets their hands on regulation, it will make six-packs-in-grocery-store-farce seem like a winner for the common man.  Where does one go at 11 pm when craving a special smoke?


firstly, i deleted all the censorship comments except the original in a thread explaining my "error" - so i don't know why any of these are still posted.  diane dietz replied as well as another commenter - darn...can't remember which, and the upshot is when the guard puts the story in the paper, same story, updated...it starts a new comments section. except i've seen stories that have carried over with a few select comments.    - but that's her story and i'm sure she's got to stick to it...
 secondly ...it happens selectively and conveniently.  an example... an in -the- loop fellow businessman to the bakers gets dinged pretty bad in comments - put a "new story" in the paper-  words in different order basically is what it is and that first mess goes away.
thirdly - the story i believed were the comments were being censored is the phil knight story..surprise! nike's projected revenue for 2017 is is projected to be $3.4 billion.  from memory because the comment is not in the thread now :O


This is not really about Omar Khadr. The real question is, do we respect our own constitution, our own laws? It does not matter if Mr. Adler or Mrs. Wente consider Mr. Khadr a "real" or surreal Canadian - he was a legal citizen, and several successive Canadian governments have violated his legal rights. Had those governments not committed these mistakes - driven by notions quite similar to those of Mr. Adler, it would seem - then this whole problem could have been avoided.


He also did us the favor of revealing that the "nature" of Mr Trump was not limited to the campaign nor to the inner recesses of his "self".
Ms. Clinton shone.


Like our current president, who is doing such great things...right?


95% of my posts are original.

Very rarely do I comment on someone else's original post.

Muting is on them not me.


I have not seen the film, and very likely will not. I was responding to your statement about not understanding what "epic" means.


I love the unintentionally prophetic comment spray painted on the junker pickup: "Where we're going, we don't need roads."

Yeah, jail!


Once you blow the whistle, you gotta get out😔.
It sounds like a well meaning advocate tried to do the right thing, but who advocates for him?
Sad story , everyone's loses...


Is she or she related to a Catholic, was married to one? Child of one?

No, none of the above.


I can't understand how this can happen. Since I moved here 7 years ago I have met wonderful smart people, not the kind that would vote over and over for a loser like this guy. When you ask them what has he done, they don't have an answer. I wonder when the people of this fantastic State will wake up and realize that Republican run States are failing all over the lower 48. Their candidate for President is a excellent example of their message. He will lose next month. How anyone could vote for the Three Stooges we have representing us up here is beyond me? One Stooge had his seat bought by the Koch brothers and will move back to Ohio when he is out of office. The other two are up for reelection. Sadly, they will most likely win. After the election, when the House and Senate has been turned back over to the Democrats, our State will suffer because our Representatives will be in the minority. Maybe my neighbors aren't so smart after all.....


This article reveals more about Reese than about Bannon.


Let us know how many people the "Car of the year" killed.


So what. Seventy, eighty, sixty. Doesn't matter. Its the law that was being upheld, and a legal case that was going to be lost. People liking it is not the issue. Raitt / Kent went on air outside our country to misrepresent that fact as some sort of gift. There's your disinformation.


“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
—Isaac Asimov


bullies feeling empowered???


The day after the fracture, I had surgery. The day after that, I was having the pads soaking up the drainage from the incision changed once an hour, was receiving intravenous antibiotics, and was semi-conscious due to the painkillers. Three days after the surgery, I checked out of hospital against medical advice (the surgeon wanted me to stay another day or two).

If you made it to court to represent a client the day after a compound fracture, that fracture must have been of a very minor bone. Further, your abilities as an advocate were certainly compromised either by pain or by pain killers; given that you could not possibly represent your client properly under those circumstances, pushing on was not only foolish but unethical.


Electing Trump to shake up Washington, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.


Now Jughead will tap us, the broken taxpayers, to pay them 10K a month until they get a job that doesn't exist.

If you aren't Postal you should be.


I didn't claim the BBC was perfect (merely said it was "better" than anything I encountered in the US) ... but one healthy sign about the way it operates, I would submit, is that it is open to transparent self-criticism.


Get Rand Paul or Ted Cruz, as Majority Leader.  I have had my fill of Yertle the Turtle.


Well considering the global market price of gas makes the project economically unviable, and the actual gas production facilities belong to "Big Oil" and not the State of Alaska, Walker's position makes just perfect sense....(well, if we were building the pipeline in the Emerald Kingdom of Oz)..........


the political, racial, religious zeitgeist are the Muslims.


Richard, I'm saying you are one pompous windbag.


Sounds like you bought into the Trump narrative that racists are fine people.


The Sens seem determined to induce heart attacks in their fans.

Great exciting game.


Well, of course they act as though they want help! They want to get every little thing they can, every free meal or bus ticket or blanket or whatever, but the one thing they don't want is to quit drinking and to work, although they'll pretend that's what they want if it will get them the other free goodies. See the problem, there? But they're experts at playing the fools who feel sorry for them.


Just swallow our pride and enter into the best deal possible for us given the mammoth trade advantage and obvious bargaining power the US has over us. The strategy will be to get the best of a bad deal and reduce such border taxes on our goods in future for our products or services. If we take a confrontational  attitude we will get hurt more. Remember Canada is not China or any other big country we will need to act our league  without getting provoked


shaunnarine1,

  That's right.
   The lies and hypocrisy are beyond corrupt.

  As often the case, the truth is found somewhere between the two extremes.
   In this case, a huge powerful imperialist force imposed itself between Castro's attempt to liberate Cuba and the former American fascist dictatorship of Batista.
  The US is largely responsible for the poverty of Cubans. The US is largely responsible for the repression of dissent in Cuba. Subversion, invasions, propaganda, embargoes - those tactics will always destroy  liberty and prosperity everywhere imperialism invades.

  Communism has been defeated.
  The enemy now is fascism, spreading everywhere in the world.
  Castro overthrew a vicious American fascist dictator in a popular revolution.
   For that alone, he deserves praise.


LOL...he got rid of  it because it had too many problems not worth fixing per him.  For all you know he may have payments up the ying yang on his new Highlander!


Well, we are exiting the little ice age so there is that. For anyone who cares to look with an open mind, there is quite a bit of evidence of cooked computer models spitting out pre- determined outcomes based on questionable inputs, not to mention the whole East Anglia Liars Club email fiasco. There are just way too many "The Science is Settled" shrieks of indignation whenever anyone asks any questions to numbly go along with the climate hysteria crowd.


I guess they need to check their address list, because I sure as heck didn't get anything.


There is a documentary on Netflix right now showing the link between Islam and Hitler . Apparently Hitler was a big admirer off Islam . There were over 22,000 Muslims in the SS and many war criminals converted to Islam after the war to carry on their war against Western civilization .


In my small country school it was more about envy of the Asian kid's Math and Science grades.  He had some pretty sharp comebacks for any teasing.


We would save lots of money by letting everyone out of prison.  Or better yet lets have an option where they can pay the state $1K a year to buy off time.  I'm joking of course, but this bill is equally ridiculous.  There are people that should never be out of prison, they are broken beyond repair.  We need to look at lowering the cost of housing.  Let's create minimum security facilities for these non violent people and tell them if they escape they get to go to big boy prison.  Turn the the Northway mall or other empty box store into a facility.


Do you need a safe space to cry in?


What a great read.  Thanks


Yes Russia loves you !
As they signed the Paris Accord they built pipelines ensuring they are the largest supplier of oil to China.
We on the other hand  have to jump through the most stringent environmental policies in the world only to sell to America at a fraction of what it's worth !!
Trump simply can't loose.


As far as I know, medical science has proven that alcoholism is a disease.  I don't know of any other addiction that is considered a disease.


Anyone just saw the KHNL 6 p.m. newscast?  Mr. Blangiardi did his OP ED about how the LEG needs to get into their Special Session and "Let's get her done!".  UNFRIGGINREAL!  Oh Mr. B........how many units do you own in Kakaako?


And you believe the covfefe he was selling. Sad.


In fact, the more extreme the allegation, the more it seems to be believed and disseminated.


Good.


"Well America you are well underway to becoming a dictatorship."

Will you say the same when Trudeau does the exact same thing and takes away the oppositions ability to fllibuster?


So far you have named all Democrat organizations if you check their voting records.


You are right of course....but I think of impeachment of Trump especially in terms of conviction....

Have missed your comments....personally don't like this blocking system .....


I'm feeling better and better about the CPC leadership race.  O'leary is putting himself out of contention.  And that is a good thing for the CPC, and for Canada.

I'll be voting Max first,  with Erin as my #2.


What do those without studs pay that I do not?   Fuel taxes are on all fuels. That is the major course of highway funds collected by the state of Alaska.


Don't see the Donald anywhere on that list.   Must be rigged.


They are people too. You should be ashamed of yourself. Someday I hope you become homeless so you can see how hard it is. I  will never read the Register Guard again.


Regarding: "...why is the child of a so-called white person and a so-called black person so very often called a black person? "
- Good question. Probably reflects old laws for separation of the races in the USA -- if you have any black heritage you were black regardless of how you appeared, and then the co-option of the effect of those laws by the black community so that even if you could 'pass' you were still black.
- In a way President Obama experienced this himself. His heritage is Kenyan & Irish American, however many people saw and spoke about him as African American. President Obama experience of racial prejudice premised on the colour of his skin is part of the source of his compassion and empathy.


Scaremuch is just like his boss, egotistical and self serving run amok.  He will get rid of anyone that stands in his way on the rise to power.  This has nothing to do with cleaning out the leakers, but only his own agenda.  But, he will self-destruct someday not to far into the future, as he will tie Trump into more knots with his thug antics (if that is even possible).


i don't feel disgusted when i'm downtown and see the waste, i feel depressed and like i can't wait to get out of there. Its not an inviting place what so ever. i think the more greenery they can fit in, the better -  even though it's an attractive nuisance for some neanderthal types.
  it's a very gray space. not much color or texture that brings a built in vibrancy. cement metal and glass - all hard, cold surfaces. with our gray climate 6 or 7 months out of the year...meh. the sky, buildings, streets all become the same tone of color - washed out and dull from overcast light.
 i wish the RG would provide more maps or illustrations. much easier to get a sense of the story.  also, not to say terms or agreement follow the guidelines of such and such a thing, without providing that pertinent info themselves in the story...why do i always have to look up something elsewhere to get the wider view? often the RG just regurgitates a release from someone. i want a deeper, more complete story


Here's what TheDonald's take with this: The security "leaks", unmasking of private US citizen names are the REAL problems! Comey as far as we've heard acknowledges the problems but did squat to investigate it! The  Russian/Trump campaign collusion has turned up nothin but of Flynn's misdeeds so far, NO Collusion. Your grabbing straws, drumming up fantasies for now, where's the facts(beef) of collusion? These law enforcement agency are full of classified leaks so I can't understand why there's no facts being reported out in the "wild".

Is Comey keeping this investigation in his coat pocket for no one to see/read but he and his close investigators? Meaning your Democratic Politicians and henchmen have no facts to LEAK to the public? That's the only scenario on why there's no "leaks" out in the public eye. Because politicans, especially of Barry's regime is being kept away from the facts if there are any! In which the higher ups in intelligence says there's no facts of collusion


There were stories about Clinton's signing the agreement w/the DNC back in 2015; I read about it on Politico. There was nothing illegal about it. She signed it in August 2015 — and Sanders signed the same agreement in Oct 2015.

It's a moot point anyway. If Sanders had got the votes, the DNC would've switched support to him. That's what happened in 2008. Clinton was the front runner, but the Obama started gaining, winning primaries, and the Super Delegates switched their votes to him.


Canada can remain a FREE country only with your approval, eh?
Did you know that FREEDOM allows YOU to MYOB, turn your head or even walk away from things you don't agree with?
?


Having no liabilities is a definite plus.

I'd like to know more about her business trading account.


Actually, the accurate information is you can first work for 9 months earning as much as you possibly can and still receive your full SSDI.  This 9 months does not have to be consecutive either.  Once the 9 months are gone then you go into a period that lasts for 36 months.  You can earn up to a certain amount and still keep your SSDI.  It may well be $1130.  It used to be $1070.  It has gone up with inflation, but social security retirement has not. Honestly I'm not sure what happens after the three years are up.  I have worked off and on when able.  I'm approaching the end of my 36 months and I guess I will not get anything.  I'm 64.7 and will start collecting SS retirement at 66.

Applying for SSDI is a daunting task.  Most people do not get approved immediately. Some people have to hire an attorney and pay a percentage of the amount they receive in a lump sum.  I was approved within 2 months of filing.

Idiot


Correct me if I'm wrong, but a rational woman or man will always act economically.


Subsidize dairy?  How much of your tax dollars specifically have gone to the dairy farmers in the last year?  Please break it down for me.


Why are governments so reluctant to react to these housing bubbles? Because voters that own homes feel really fantastic about themselves seeing these high prices on their appraisals - it makes them feel like millionaires. Happy voters tend to vote status quo.

Of course, only a few of these owners are smart enough to cash in at these historic prices and crystallize their gains (and actually become millionaires). The majority will just sit there and watch the housing bubble eventually deflate, just like they watched it inflate. It is all built on historically cheap money (more so than foreign buyers, which are a catalyst, but that's it) - and the writing is on the wall for the end of cheap money.


It is pathetic seeing MSM beating the Russian drum when it is apparent to all that the majority of hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center came from Saudi Arabia. Yes, it would be fair to slam Trump's willingness to continue on with previous administration's cozy relations with Saudi Arabia but this endless obsession with Russia is getting tiring.

How about investigating Saudi Arabia's abuse of human rights, women's rights, gay rights, sponsorship of terrorism?


These taxes were set up to benefit Big Timber who gives campaign donations to these bozos who are basically puppets to them...follow the money


The installation of that system incites more aggressive reaction by the North.  Anything that threatens Kim Jong's ego/progress will incite more violent rebuttal.  Some Asians know this and tend to stay away from confrontation.  It's why China asked for a calm, peaceful reaction from the West in response to Kim Jong's nuttiness.  We here in the west can't grasp that concept.


So you were protesting Mike Harris's decision to fill in already broken ground on a subway extension started by the NDP in the 90s?

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure you were.


Hate to disillusion you - but in all my years in the public school system ( to grade 13 ) I cannot recall a single instance of major parental abuse or absence. And we kids were all aware of who did what to whom..... Life was not perfect of course but certainly not like the Nanny State propaganda of today would imply. As for the support provided by social agencies - be careful what you wish for !


As intelligent and educated as Burke is, he seems to have little knowledge of human beings. Trump and Clinton are equally untrustworthy albeit in different ways!


We don`t pay an income or state sales tax in Alaska..sir.. so what "taxpayers" are you speaking about?  The ones that work in Alaska but take the money back and pay a Texas income tax on money they made in Alaska?
Some of us believe we need to start paying our way,..  some of us think that things like homeless vets somehow still matter.  Some of us feel we`d have more skin in the game with a moderate state income tax.  It is also the least regressive.   But I`ll reiterate. I don`t pay a sales or an income tax.. do you?


'Conservatives say "We want to do A and B and not raise taxes but rather go into debt for it."'

How is that possible when just about every government entity is required to have a balanced budget?


microwave and espresso machine in the RV too.  a drag to be tent camping with propane lamps, firepit, etc,  after dark and have a fully geared up 40 foot RV pull in right next door.


First prize 10% of one fourth. The money would just go down the black hole.


IRT NamWan, fully agree with your post.  The "Report" of January 2017 presented 7,220 homeless in the State; Hawaii 953, Maui 896, Kauai 412, and Oahu 4949.  Where those numbers must be "0" zero.  The numbers are based on the State and C&C Report.  Truthfully, I believe they are not accurate.  Auwe.


@aiea7:  Okay, so if the Mayor and HART really needed the additional money, where was that figure for the additional $535 Million in the slides that he presented to the legislature 2 weeks ago?  Why did the slide say they needed $8.165 Billion instead of $8.7 Billion that he happened to mention at the last minute in a letter to the Legislature last week?  It's this kind of shenanigans that make it hard for the folks in the Legislature to trust anything the Mayor says.  Bottom line is the Mayor needs to stop biting the hand that feeds him if he wants the money that he keeps saying that he needs.


It serves to show just how slow and burdensome that crack curial office under +Muller is.  It produces old, old theology and doctrinal "purity" from centuries ago that are every bit as ridiculous as the length of time it takes to issue them.  Just one more thing of the Church that almost no one is going to pay any mind to.  These guys in Rome just don't get it.  I trust that God, in all of Wisdom of the ages, has the capacity to re-create our bodies in an instant.  Like those whose bodies or parts still lie in the dust of the World Trade Center site in NYC, pulverized and/or burnt to ash: they, too, will stand with the rest of us in Judgment in front of a merciful God.  So the CDF really should turn its attentions to things that really do matter.  Small chance under such a cardinal.


It's been interesting to see the evolution in reporting of this matter. But there's still a ways to go. Up until fairly recently, media reports consistently portrayed TWU as anti-LGBTQ and running roughshod over their human rights. Following victories by TWU in superior courts, the reporting is a little more evenhanded.

"The dispute stems from Trinity Western University’s so-called community covenant, which bans sexual intimacy outside of heterosexual marriage and which critics say discriminates against people in the LGBTQ community who are looking to enter the legal profession."

TWU's rules about sexual relations apply to everyone outside of a heterosexual marriage, regardless of their sexual orientation. More straights are affected by the rule than anyone else. However bias in the reporting still remains. This article talks of TWU's "so-called" covenant. That language strongly implies that the covenant is illegitimate, which is untrue.


Well, Libertarians (a/k/a the :Pot-Smoking Crowd), be careful; you're forcing Trump to make deals with the Democrats and sell you down the river and other issues.  Yes, civil asset forfeiture needs stopped--it's a big issue--but you might lose it because the Dems (who don't view it as an issue) may give it to Sessions it as part of delivering something else for Trump.  It's a similar effect to what the RINO's are accomplishing as in Collins, Murkowski, and McCain.  End result will be our voters staying home and the Democrats' electing droves of new stalking horses for the radical left.  Voter suppression.  All because the Libertarian want to be so Virtuous--typical of Pot-heads.


Leitch would have been the Liberal party's choice for the cpc, too. Or Bernier. Or maybe a 'nice guy' who always finishes second? Doesn't really matter because the cpc are  on the downward slope already.
The cpc - just not ready.


I wouldn't trust them as far as the barn door.


Joseph Goebbels an old NAZI leader and zealot, fine-tuned the art of controlling perception through propaganda and repeated lies...
The Alaska oil cartel and other industrial giants have perfected it, and use it still.  They just call it PR now, and it`s tax deductible for them!!!
  Don`t-- drink the kool-aid that "what`s good for Exxon is good for Alaska". All it leads to is tax subsidies when it is applied to Alaska.
We tried that with GM remember?  They are two different things folks, the truth, and lies.  Sometimes they make it very hard to catch them at it.  If we`re waiting for oil companies and high oil prices to bail us out forget it. Not with the corrupted legislation SB21 and it`s "per barrel" tax subsidies.

From the pew, what strikes me about the 2011 translation is not just that it's a lousy translation, but specifically that it's an awkward translation. The rigid adherence to the structure of the Latin cannot yield a good, or even a decent, English translation.  The sentences, replete with complex and compound clauses, are not easy to read and almost impossible to hear. In many instances, especially in the Collects, it is is difficult to discern the meaning even if one reads along with the celebrant -- which ought not be necessary.  Even celebrants who prepare well often stumble over the awkward structure of the 2011 translation; and my sense is that not all of them prepare well -- they attempt to read the prayers "cold." The Vatican imposed this translation on the English speaking world. It was an abuse of authority that the bishops should have resisted. Frankly, they still should.


Will Soda also be supplying ICE actors?


LFS: I never use any other name than the "screen name" unless the individual has divulged their own in in conversation.  I don't see that as an "indulgence", I see it as a) common courtesy and b) a guideline of this site.  Don R. has used his name and admitted that he is "Latinos for Trump", thus I have referred to him as Don.  I don't know your real name and wouldn't use it w/o your permission if I did.  regards, Gary


More (not so) amazing is the extensive number of liberals who don't even know what the terms "reality" & "facts" even mean.


Perhaps not illegal or unethical but very unfair for a journalist to use the prestigious trademark Trump name in order to benefit themselves. Much like the person who published a very rude, crude nasty joke book about Chuck Norris without approval. Mean and very unfair.
Note: I will also give myself a Gold Star here just to get your attention because I know you just can't resist to read my fair and legitimate thought provoking posts


No cost savings there Brainiac. Facts are confusing aren't they?


Expecting anything resembling moral courage out of the University of Oregon is delusional, and we were the silly ones to think they would handle this or any public news matter in a non-imperious, non-gutless way.
Lording information over people is a nasty form of bullying from a pissy, little outfit that claims great concern about bullying. Snide cowardice has been their only way since the Olum sacking.


Eyelid tattoos? Gross.


Sometimes rational people fear what they understand.
The Left's refusal to admit the Wahabbi fundementalism is a threat to democracy and western secular civilization is ensuring the rise of right wing demagogues.


It's not damage control or propaganda, it's a basic understanding of polling and statistics and how they can be (and often are) warped and misused by the dishonest and the ignorant to "say" things the actual facts really don't support. Just some critical thinking skills I picked up a few years back in between football games, thanks to CSU academics.


Torontonians just look to Vancouver to see your future if you don't do something about foreign money buying up real estate.


Barry Trotz, no slouch he when it comes to coaching.  The guy knows his way around.  No, he doesn't have Babcock's CV, but some pretty nondescript coaches have taken their teams to the cup.   A blanket statement that Your Leafs have an edge in coaching, maybe, but if they do, it's not much, and certainly not enough to compensate for the fact that Wash is a much better team than Your Leafs.

Pretty sure Your Leafs Nation cult followers realize their team will need divine intervention, the sort that Vos Canadiens had when they knocked off the Caps in 7 way back when Halak was doing his St. Peter at the gates impersonation.

Don't see Andersen playing that part.


Both candidates are an embarrassment to this country. They have both lied and both are corrupt. It's frightening to imagine what's going to become of our country if either one wins. I feel sorry for the young ones who will have to try and save this country from ruin. Either way get ready. Life as we know it is about to change for the worse.


Hopefully, the applicants for the gravel quarry will change their minds and withdraw the application before getting any more very negative publicity.

I'm sure that there are many locals that would welcome helping fund projects to aid the Oakway residents with their legal expenses.


hey goddess, watch out out for that pile of #$%^, ohhhhh, sorry, too late.


What's the connection between the two?


J. Ernst did do the proper sampling and testing, so did her neighbors, the Campbell's in Ponoka, and the Zimmerman's in Westaskiwin, and the damaging data and evidence has been peer-reviewed and published, even referenced by the US EPA in their final frac report. Ernst has also documented evidence of Encana fracturing Rosebud's drinking water aquifers.

No... he should keep talking . He will reveal  what is said behind closed doors about the fate of Canada that is planned to be done to us  but not told to us.


Walker is one sick obsessed soon to be a one term governor.


Muslims have been accused in attacks on many countries. Usually labeled as home grown terrorists. However in every case where a Muslim has attacked a country, such as the US, Britain, France, Spain, Canada, Germany.......those countries had attacked Muslims.  Muslims were attacked in many countries especially in Palestine and Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria.

It suggests that if the West had not gone into the Middle East and environs, killing, the Western countries would not have been attacked.


Williams needs a short course in constitutional law. Denying children who are residents would be ruled unconstitutional by our State Supreme Court. Period!
