hey RG!!  who's the on staff doctor or other medical provider?????  .  a little fact easily overlooked.....so, as is habit, over to search google for basic onfo pertinent to a story.  jeez       RG: "Before she died, the treatment provider’s employees had administered her a number of medications without adequate oversight from a physician, the lawsuit alleges." - that's just frail.


Money doesn't matter in elections?  Where did you get that, from the Easter Bunny?  Money has swung elections time and time again in this state, and to argue otherwise is to display a lack of respect for the truth.


Not surprising in the least.  After all, a radical Black Nationalist as president?  Who would have thought?  Now, the chickens really are coming home to roost, remember Rev. Wright and Barry Sorrento perched in sordid church pew for 20 years, and Michelle chanting, Amen, Brother!


Weyerhaeuser charges for recreational access to the 360,000 acres they own in Lane County.
They charge me .70 a day ($250 yr) for 5/8 mile use of their "toll" road. They also tell me to expect an increase. Greed might have something to do with it.


Some people are just waking up to learn that there really is no difference between the democrat and republican party. Both are the tenders of the up to now "invisible party" called the Washington DC deep state, or federal government bureaucracy. The federal bureaucracy is fueled by trillions of dollars of tax revenue from rich and poor alike, and lately, with its propaganda arm, the east coast fake news industry, is struggling to maintain the status quo. But, like our forefathers before us who gave the middle finger to the British monarchy, we'll do the same to DC. On this 4th of July 2017, we're on our way.


So you sneer at others and blame them for your lack of civility.


Oh why worry?  Sunny Ways will be to their rescue at the border soon, replete with selfies, hugs and big welfare cheques for all!  And he's even figured out how to pay for it:  a new 75% marginal tax rate, and capital gains at 115%, and a special new Tim Horton's sales tax @30%.


I was trying to be balanced, but you may be right.


Our education and health system take the lead on that front. Public money is too easy to get their mitts into.


Stop spewing your racist hatred.


Being multilingual has never held anyone back. It's a good thing, good for your brain 👍🏻👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿


Well, as long as their last name is Brower I guess anyone could win it.


Are you joking? The last thing we need is more surface parking. We've got parking garages that aren't even half used except around the holidays.


It's kind of hard to reply to someone who thinks that imperialism is a good thing, but I will say this: Every empire falls. Not only does no one willingly allows themselves to be enslaved, but the model is economically unsustainable, as every empire has overreached and collapsed because it could not control all the territory it conquered.

Glad it's working out for you, though. Hope you don't have grandkids because they are likely to pay the price if you don't.

As for your arguments about conspiracies, they are inconsistent and illogical. If they occur every day and you concede what happened on 9/11 was likely a conspiracy, then what in the world did your first comment mean? Talk about laughable.....

Incidentally, I did run for the US Senate. Since I clearly did not have the MIC backing me up, it's no wonder you never heard about it. But that's the kind of system you asked for.


Part of the problem is that saying anything remotely critical of indigenous peoples' decisions is an untouchable "third rail".  Question the blaming of a schoolyard assault on reserve to "video games, or maybe the loss of identity and lands", and the questioning doesn't survive the "civility test" here.

Canadians are not apathetic about the plight of the indigenous peoples.  But they have no time for indigenous leaders who insist on acting like sovereigns, entitled to unspecified but ever-increasing funding with no strings attached and not subject to scrutiny.  And we're turned off when any legitimate questioning is treated like racism.

If the only options are to drink the kool aid or look away, don't be surprised if many just look away.


Thank you DM for this opportunity. I unfortunately do not see this being successful to rid public dialogue of hurtful comment. What if a troll does not like what you say and down rates you continuously so as to silence the voice of reason?  Perhaps a better way would be to flag words such as "white" and "black" and "race". Nothing constructive ever comes from those.


Yea, those illegal alien voters, dead people, welfare recipients and paid street people that the dems bussed to the polls in those big lower 48 cities really came out for Hillary. They should get to determine what happens to Alaska. It's called mob rule.
Actually the electoral college worked perfectly as it was intended. Especially for Alaska.


Next we'll see a $2 rise per barrel.. why?

Conservatives practice a tough love approach that my grandparents used when they said to me What's the matter you ,you can do better, only they say to nonwhites like myself yes can succeed, you don't need to have standards lowered or quotas set to be able to achieve the American dream. You are not poor little things who need the help of whites , you can stand on your own two feet. Stop feeling sorry for yourselves show others you have the right stuff. All of us who or nonwhite should be seeking to emulate people who have succeeded in the face of obstacles who said like Farragut,  damn torpedos full steam ahead. We all need to take charge of our own lives and our own welfare and not slide into a state of dependency.


First: I have been extremely fortunate in life in that I have never faced any of the problems discussed in this column:
Next, let me propose a step the Church might take in addressing the memory of Barbara's death:
     1.) Rapid beatification
     2.) Consider formal recognition of SNAP as canonical organization, similar to Opus Dei.


It's all Therrien's fault or it's the goaltending or it's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - lol - love it! The Habs have been a .500 team over the past 40 games or so - that's a "YUGE" sample size - it is what they are. Talk to me when you find some top six NHL centremen!


Hey Komrad, who makes up the other 90% of attack traffic?

Hint - Uncle Putin and about 100 million Chinese students.


The pope, while certainly capable of the occasional ill-advised ad lib, is still protected by an institution with centuries of experience in diplomatic nuance. Nobody need worry about a gaffe coming from a meeting orchestrated by the Vatican Secretariat of State.

Trump, on the other hand, is the leader of the gang that couldn't shoot straight. His administration can't get through a morning, let alone a whole day, without two or three juicy diplomatic snafus. And, unlike the pope, Trump's spontaneous comments are almost always unkind and self-serving.

So, if a diplomatic flare-up results from this meeting, you can bet your bottom dollar that the one responsible will be the guy with the comb-over, not the one with the beanie.


This is why Kate Brown should not be the next governor.  A person who stands up for their opinions and positions can be respected even if those opinions and positions to not match one's own.  A person who serving as governor refuses to state an opinion on a vital issue facing Oregonians is just trying to have her cake and eat it too.  She wants the money but does not want to take the hit at the polls the open advocacy would entail.  Well, its time for Kate to come out of the closet on this one.  It's already too late for this voter to respect her.


We're not talking about the lower mainland, we're talking about COLD places.


It's silly, and a little paranoid, to insist any group is picking on you.  I read a lot of media comments critical of Clinton, and understand them to be differences of opinion.  I don't want those opinions silenced.   Yet conservatives seem to want just that, to control 'the media', and prohibit voices not favorable to them.  Free media, with the right to report facts as they are, is one of the differences dividing us from places like Russia, where V. Putin controls what is reported.  Is that what you prefer?


It was always going to be permanent. Once the government gets their hands on our money, they will never stop it.  If not for rail, they will find some other reason to keep the tax.

LinkedIn is an utterly pointless platform. I and many people I know have deleted our profiles because ALL it has done for us is increase sales cold calls exponentially.  I cannot name a single colleague or friend who has benefited from the "facebook for business losers" site.


a great deal of the negative information in regards to cannabis use are more the result of an unrecognized institutionalize bias against all forms of cannabis use which results in virtually all study of cannabis fixated on looking at negatives and ignoring the positives.

This is wonderful news to hear! There are many places around town always hiring! So many people here say they want a job or wish they could work and instead turn to disability and opiates or drug abuse. I commend these people for actually working, earning pay and bettering their lives and the community! It's time for Trump to put all our faked disability people back to work again!!!


Pills will mess you up worse than having PTSD. Marijuana is a non-addictive plant that nobody has ever OD'd on and provides natural relief from a myriad of symptoms. I'd rather our veterans use a plant that has been used for relief for thousands of years than a chemical that has a long list of side-effects.


You do know that retail banking and investment banks were allowed to merge under Clinton.
You do know that regulation on derivatives was stopped under by Alan Greenspan and members of the Clinton cabinet.

Both these policies under the Clinton were instrumental to eventual blow up of real estate in the US even if the actual bad mortgages happened under Bush.


What? firing ineffective and bad teachers then firing someone for insubordination and holding teachers accountable....the horror.


"why wouldn't you want to continue to enjoy the patronage of a large circle of people. "

Because they aren't a large circle... non-allergics are like 50x the population of allergics.  And know that there are also a lot of people who are/were going elsewhere because there were no nuts.


Do any of your posts contribute meaningfully to the discussion of any topic?  Eh.  Stupid question to which the answer is self-evident.


Sports! Where the good stories happen.


These older battery cars are now littering the islands.  Once they reach an age of five or six years their batteries no longer hold the same charge and need replacing.  By then they are paint faded, old cars like any other car, and people don't want to pay the $8,000 dollars for new batteries.  Then they sit and become hazardous waste buckets. You see them everywhere already.
And, here in Hawaii how is that electricity used to charge them come from?  Bunk oil burning at the power plants.  Hardly "Green".


boomers may say old age doesn't start until 72 but that doesn't mean they want to work a 40 hour a week job until that age.  As a society and a very wealthy country shouldn't we be looking for ways to allow people to retire earlier rather than be forced to work to the edge of the grave? As automation eats more and more jobs we should be finding ways to let our seniors retire earlier and enjoy their sunset years doing what they want while the younger generations move into the jobs they're vacating until it's their turn to retire and enjoy theirs.


I find it very sad to know that our own people won't even help their own people, not even the homeless in anchorage but they'll move mountains to bring people from other countries here, give them a place to live, donations of groceries, assistance with everything for them to start a happy life but where is catholic services when it comes to their own people????  What is the real motive in such things.  Not that I don't feel empathy for people from other countries but their motives for coming here is simply they think America is the dream land and its not, its far from it.  What is the number right now of Alaskans on unemployment?  Where is the help for them.  This is and has been my stance all along.  We should be helping our own people FIRST before we help people come here.


That's the great thing about being a liberal. You never have to say you're sorry.


Love your ideas, Caleb! Well done!


What does it cost to fly a football team from Ketchikan to Juneau? Or do they all pile onto fishing boats and get there by sea?


In the meantime, crime rates will continue to escalate while the highly paid city administrators continue to evaluate criminal driven statistics.


Despite the media noise, I find a lot of people feel the same way that you and I do, trying to find a rational consensus on our major problems and working to fix them.

It leads me to believe that our political system with it's emphasis on two party rule, has engrained self interest that is leaving the country deeply divided.     And despite the Greed is Good mantra some have distorted to mean only as "all profit is good regardless of it's consequences to others", we still have millions of people, at all income levels, that recognize  the power of a united national commitment.


I didn't say nothing can be predicted I said it is impossible to predict what the world will be like. However the prediction on global warming may be wrong - the thing is if it is right then the penalty for not having done something will be spectacularly bad for everyone in a way that dwarfs the negative side of carbon taxes etc.

Many who may have attended the protest in support of the ACA are too ill to attend and sick in bed from their medical treatments. They asked me to excuse them but say without the ACA they  would have to chose between losing their home, vehicle and chose rx drugs over food and without insurance would have to settle for the least amount of health care . That was like my friend before the ACA, she was working at a place that could not offer health insurance and when she had to be treated for cancer she got a bag of chemo into her vein at the ER here locally and had to go home so sick she was not able to care for herself.


Why not


Very well said! I myself will NOT take Tudor unless I have absolutely no other choice due to the ruts in that road.


I voted Lisa in today - I thought she did a great job at the debate and am proud of her being my Senator.  Thank you Lisa!!!


She’s only been a Democrat for a few weeks and is already playing the race card.


When did the Democrats refuse to give a Supreme Court nominee a hearing and vote?


Please point me to a US President in the recent past who is NOT a compulsive and chronic liar. Sad to say it goes with the territory.


Masochism isn't necessarily stupidity. I support your masochism but not your religious bend. It is stupid.


A study on abused women is long overdue.  We already know there's a higher incidence of dementia and Alzheimer in women.  Should be  a correlation with that and being smacked around.


No offense, but saying that young folks lack respect is like saying that the sky is blue or that Obama is president.  I'm confused on how I'm obligated to respond strictly in the same narrow vein.  That yet another oldtime small business in Alaska is going away is hardly anything new, either.  Still, that is the primary topic.  The concentration of economic power into fewer and fewer hands should be of concern to everyone.


Who cares which government did what?
If we are concerned about ethics, we should  just get out of the arms business, or only make them for ourselves.

Its not very amusing how you used the words "without prejudice" and then went on to describe the very definition of racism.


I don't think I can put into words how much public consumption of a certain agricultural product is going to take place.


Don't forget she also just eliminated the 15% tax for foreign students.  Now if you are in Canada for a course as short as six months, yes six months, you can buy real estate and avoid the tax.

But not just a condo to live in (as Australia allows).  Oh no, a "student" can buy a multi million dollar mansion (or three) or an entire block of apartments.

So what was up with that, other than bowing to pressure from vested real estate interests, like New Coast, who market heavily in China.


Creation stories?  Oh, you mean fairy tales that were barely valid a thousand years ago and only then were only good for preventing savages from bashing each others' skulls in?  Whatever name we attach to Sky Lord, cute stories for cavemen was played out centuries ago and has been beyond silly for decades.

Besides which, we have anthropological evidence that even Aboriginal people weren't here on these continents at the time their "creation" myths place their "creation".  It's all a farce.


Treaties can be withdrawn from. It is also possible to invoke one of the exceptions in the treaties. There is no court with jurisdiction to say otherwise, and so no problem in simply asserting that what we are doing is permitted. Finally, treaties can simply be ignored, the same way that the US ignores the Convention Against Torture, to which it is signatory.


Not a bad idea, but it's limited.  Keep in mind that a federal requirement would only affect superior court judgeships.  The majority of sexual assault cases are heard before provincial-appointed judges, unaffected by such federal laws.  That includes the 'keep your knees together' case in Alberta and the taxi-driver case in Nova Scotia.


Amazing he still alive after a stunt like that....


When this legislation is passed, our budget problems will be solved...

"Newly elected Rep. Jason Grenn wants to make sure that any legislator who works for an oil company cannot vote on anything related to oil, taxes, tax credits, or even exploration and development in Alaska. Ditto for oil services companies or those who contract with oil companies..

Blocking oil company workers is Grenn’s real reason behind HB 44, “Voting and Conflicts,” which was to be heard today in House Judiciary (Democrat Matt Claman, chair), but which was delayed to Friday with no reason given.

It’s also why in the Capitol, aides refer to HB 44 as the “M&M Bill,” code for the “Meyer/Micciche Bill,” because both Sen. Kevin Meyer and Peter Micciche work for ConocoPhillips, and they are always attacked by Democrats for holding down jobs with Big Oil."

Ridiculous and obscene.


I dunno, Scott. Hanging out in an airport bar costs a lot less and these days is a lot less crowded than those lounges.  If you get the membership for free it's great, but paying for it is a complete waste of money.


After observing "Dr" Marschall and the patients he has "treated" for decades in Sequim, I believe he is, always has been, and always will be, a quack and a charlatan. I'm glad he will be forced to spend time in jail for his repeated and blatant disregard for the law, which is in place to protect those among us who are suffering and vulnerable to snake-oil salesmen like him.


Three or four years ago Ibbitson argued that conservatism would be the dominant political culture of Canada for a very long time. How times change. He is now arguing the exact opposite based solely on the Tories hate policy. Not my favorite political analyst.


He should be in already. This is a no-brainer.


Hard to know the right or wrong of it from the story's details but having dealt with EEOC I would not jump to the conclusion that the Salvation Army was in the wrong here. I was involved in one case some years ago where EEOC's version of events was inaccurate to the extreme.


I thought the same.


The Media are full blown partners in this movement also.....it is curious what the end game is for them all.


Wynne's pretense of uncertainty and assurance of fairness is theater.  Butts plan is her plan.  Divide and conquer. In Ontario small business will lose in taxes, pay a higher minimum wage (including re-alignment above $15) and a carbon tax.  But as Wynne says she wants small business to thrive.

Of course the plan is poorly thought out, of course more egregious issues like stock options and trusts are excluded.  Income splitting in government pensions is enshrined too.  And no market risk for those lucky folks.

This is a shift left for the Liberals to shut out the NDP and if Scheer kowtows to the old Reform base it will work too.  He needs to tack to the now vacant right center.


Did you skip reading the article?


It is unfortunate that the New York woman had that hand damage trying to use that butane tank.  The other ones didn't go off.


Seriously, Again?

How in the name of all that's sensible can this woman ever be trusted with classified top secret information?
Scandal follows her everywhere she goes and the dishonest establishment media just glosses over all of it...Debbie got fired and her termination turned into a promotion even after all those DNC staffers were caught planning to distribute propaganda, slander and lies against Bernie and Trump.
They used racial slurs to refer to Hispanics and Blacks and plotted to use Bernie's faith or lack of faith against him plotting to stir up a rift with Southern Baptists.
These people are dirty lying rotten scoundrels who operate like this 24/7
yet the dishonest media winks it's eye and turns it head as if nothing ever happened.
Apparently Socialist Liberal Democrats not only ignore the security of America as it relates to Islamic Terrorism they also seem to ignore Cyber Terrorism


Well, there is no surprise here...but the imbeciles in Toronto will still vote for her.


The definition of a Christian Church is the called out (by Christ) universal body of of believers who obey his teachings. Furthermore I have been attending Christian Churches for more than 25 years and have studied qualified teachers and Pastors on Ecclesiology ,  So I wonder why are you more qualified to make this judgement than I or the thousands of others who have studied and written on this subject? You are simply an angry agnostic who hates God and Christians, and this is just more of your liberal spin. I am not alone on this issue and stand with many, apparently you believe you are an expert on everything. Jesus said: Mat 7:22-23  On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’  (23)  And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ This is the Jesus of the Bible, and not the one who is a figment of your imagination.


Yeah, trying to dig up dirt on opposition... that never happened before. You want to have a bite of a decent burger? Explain $500, 000 payment to Bill Clinton from a Kremlin connected bank for a single speech.


I think people say that Shakespeare had a tremendous influence on English literature (English) and that he was one of its greatest playwrights. Emphasis on English - it would take someone with a vast knowledge of world literature or a very arrogant English speaker to say otherwise.


Thank you Mr.Rosenberg, this gives one more wise opinion to consider before investing. Great article.


Agree...can anyone name just one major piece of legislation that she initiated and got passed?   IMO, if you measure by results, Senator Hirono has been largely ineffective.

You just confirmed it yourself.  "To state that Americans are immigrants is to state the obvious". Tongue firmly in cheek when this article was written.


Yes, and being offended by someone kneeling during the national anthem is just being PC.  These folks have tied themselves in ideological knots.


WE DO NOT NEED ANY SYRIAN REFUGEES! Look what happen in Germany, France, UK! Do we want that here? No, but the PM does. Enough with the Syrian terrorists no more refugees from Syria.

Much as I like Francis, he does not define "crime" for other nations. I guess he can speak to Vatican City State for that one though. So he is right in his own empire.


This presents an interesting paradox. Most politicians are worth substantially less than $0.00, so the prospect of offering a raise is immediately objectionable. If we offered high salaries, however, we could expect to see some better qualified applicants for the positions. Would you hire a volunteer CEO to run your company? Would you expect that person to be competent? After all, why would they work for free if someone were willing to pay them?

Of course, the problem with paying politicians is that some will confuse politics with an actual career. Careerists are the last thing we need in public office. I would prefer high salaries coupled with short term limits for elected offices.


I too appreciate comments like your's  publicly revealing the inability to logically discuss and grasp higher-level concepts.  Your Ad hominem attack on 'Trump fans' is considered by every philosopher as the exhausted endpoint of debate.  Or, a childish rebuttal. Humanitarian aid has no connection to providing further financial aid targeted for rebuilding the infrastructure that Puerto Rico has let decay over decades.  Puerto Rico is a territory, one that only in June just voted to become a state.  Prior to declaring bankruptcy in May of this year, they previously voted 4 separate times to not join the United States and to not pay individual income tax.  It is particularly notable that this last June's election occurred roughly one month after their bankruptcy filing.  Until Puerto Rico cleans up their financial books & establishes a pathway to solvency, the current 50 states must consider whether it is humanitarian for the taxpayers to spend money rebuilding Puerto Rico.


God Bless them!

The Alaskan state is controlled by the oil companies through the oil-bought GOP legislature.


We need real immigration reform, and Trump's executive orders just give the Democrats and Republicans something they can posture and virtue-signal over.

You won't want to miss the Boston Globe's excellent Michael Cohen on what a disaster Newt Gingrich has been for the US, in so many ways.

As for the disapproval of the "homosexual representative," let's be sure we understand there is NO good reason to object to the presence of a gay person anywhere, other things being equal, and that all objection to gay people is an issue of the past that fair-minded people have turned away from. On the other hand, whether we want to call the conduct of Newt and Callista Gingrich sinful or not, there is reason, perhaps, for mistrusting them.

For that matter, being not just a Republican but one who is willing to work for the current president is already plenty of a reason for mistrust.


What you don't seem to understand is that the pension obligations would come before the PF if the state defaults. So the pensions will be paid even if it means draining the PF dry first. That is why shoring up TRS and PERS has to be done to protect the PF.

I'm surprised that the Globe's first opinion piece on this actually criticizes the resolution.   I fully expect the regular columnists to respond with divisive pieces in favor of this ill-conceived resolution, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.


Another stain on the judiciary system devoid of justice for the rich while throwing maximum penalties at anyone who is not.  A tap on the wrist of an uncontrolled mental defect adding to the host of similar Republicans now fouling the nation's governing systems at all levels.  The prosecution for anyone else would have been a felony.  Instead the Montana judiciary ruled by Republicans throughout spits on the system of laws in the state and nation.  One more disgusting creep added to the cabal of Republican traitors to the nation and its governing system at all levels.  Time for a Revolution to rid this nation of the seditious horde now destroying the Constitutional Republic and all human rights contained therein.


Banyan Drive is a huge opportunity for Hilo's visitor industry to thrive once again. Visitors would love to stay closer to what is far and away the most popular attraction on our island, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and the other great sites on the east side. But Hilo doesn't have the quality hotel options needed. Mayor Kenoi's administration (with Wally Lau as managing director) pushed to get some County leadership over the area - and they succeeded in reactivating a long-dormant redevelopment authority. They're moving forward with planning the revitalization.

At the forum where Civil Beat was present, Harry Kim called the Banyan Drive area a "headache" and no different than an industrial area.

That's not the kind of mayor I want to be in charge of economic development. That's why I'm voting for Wally Lau.


How does this match up with the traditional wisdom that those who cab, do; those who can't, teach?

Ummm. The genius professor of philosophy left out the Trump plans to sue the women he assaulted, impose a tax reduction that would mostly benefit the wealthy and bust the national debt, weaken the first amendment, appoint judges to reverse Roe v. Wade cuddle up to Putin, and on and on.

And Bonevac wonders why institutions of higher learning don't hire a bunch of numbnuts like him to teach.

Every time I read Yakabuski, I wonder why he is given a platform to spout ill-considered opinions. Let me start with his comment on the Democratic Party in the US: Mr. Yakabuski, "white identity" is the biggest and most corrosive identity of all. In the US, it was Donald Trump and the GOP that have made "identity politics" the heart of their politics and campaign for decades. The fact that Mr. Yakabuski - a white man- can miss this obvious fact says enormous amounts about what he considers "normal." So, a form of identity politics that caters to the majority is somehow not identity politics; a form that recognizes and caters to the identities of minorities is. Funny how that works out. In the case of Mr. Boyden, I have little to say. Either he is of native heritage or he is not. I don't think this should be that hard to determine. I don't see how he can simply decide that he has a particular historical background if he does not.


UHAD pays for the annual operation and maintenance costs of the SSC and the Les Murakami Stadium since these venues are used exclusively by the athletic department.  All expenses including coaches salaries, marketing and administrative expenses are borne by the athletic department and these costs are covered by revenue generated by the athletic department.  There should be no complaints about monies being diverted for athletics as they are charged with operating a balanced budget, and not dependent on the UH (academic) operational budget which is around $1.5 billion annually.


There is a LOT of missing information in this article.   There isn't nearly enough information to be making the claims many are for or against the rancher, the oil company or the government.

Great post.  Thanks for clearly articulating your position.


Had quite a few of the defendants I dealt with who had those precise attitudes.   Every single time they were arrested and prosecuted.

Had one that I defended and got probation for at 10:00 am in the morning and I heard him being arrested at 12:15 on my police scanner as I was driving to lunch.

He shoplifted some cigarettes at the 7-11 closest to the jail after he was released.


Well thought out. Well said, "For Hawaiians, this is the homeland!"  Keala.

Tradition is one of the two sources of the revelation in the Catholic Church, the other being Scripture.

If the Holy Father serves Tradition, he is doing his job.


We can scarcely style five years in Taliban POW captivity as someone who "avoids prison." It seems military justice has dodged a bullet, barely, because the US public would righteously have harsh judgement indeed for anyone who wishes to torment the POW casualty of Cheney's illegal regime of war, unprosecuted US war crimes, and un-remediated US crimes against humanity.

Hey, is there a fund for the public to help pay Bergdahl's $1000 fines? He shouldn't have to pick up a cent of that, that's on Uncle Sam. But I guess, we being a civilized public, can help this victim deflect that harassment and further injury at the hands of their failed and wayward government.


Thanks Nome and Bethel area Elders...at least this can help our Kotzebue Sound area. Anyone bother with my Native food...this ole lady gets upset. Shame on Kotzebue Area Elders and Maniilaq.


Maybe telling kids that sex leads not only to unwanted pregnancies, but that the freedom of their bodies is only available to you when you can vote to protect your rights. Otherwise you may be an involuntary incubator. Tough break kid.


Bear baiting is a sport for the young and agile.  At 21, Avalos meets one of the criteria.  I wonder if he has kept up on his Spanish language skills.

They might become useful in the not too distant future.

Addresses and contact phones for any relatives in Mexico might become helpful, too.


Yup, see mr kon's comment above. Attacking the messenger with lies completely absorbed from the right wing media machine that fills him up each and every day. As we can see with Ed Rogrer's column the GOP has nothing but lies to justify this indefensible Deathcare bill so attacking the messenger is needed to distract from that ugly truth.


What liberals call hate speech, most people call "the truth"


I guess it wasn't clear enough that the whole wedding-or-game thing was pretty much a joke. I don't "beg attendance" to UH games. Sometimes if I think a game might be interesting sometimes I might suggest attending — especially if people already have the tickets.


And having been here since before there was a PFD, I'd say the people don't spend it any better than the government, especially when it comes to wasting the childern's money.  How much of it do you think gets spent of booze, cigarettes and pot?  Go out and buy a new four wheeler and then at tax time they don't even have enough left to pay the income taxes on the PFD.  Does everyone do that?  No, but the peoples record is no better than the governmet's.


It is hard to see any areas were the Trudeau government was successful. Their biggest problem seemed to be answering questions truthfully. I would rate their performance as a less then average. However they still have CBC, CTV and Global in their pockets. That's all that really counts.


Obsessed with trannys much?


I wonder....what average citizen can afford to buy an electric car, and play that economic chess game?


and by doing so they vote against their own self interests


< this comment did not meet civility standards > could apply to several sentences in the editorial. For example:
"Above all, he is perversely self-centred and uninterested in anything that is not about him."

There are at least two solutions.
First apply G&M standards of civility to editorials
Second stop all censoring. Let the readers determine what they want to read. By censoring you delete one element of the character of the writer. That is not in keeping with freedom of the press. But I do not need to tell you this.


Actually, games have been backwards compatible.  I can play Wii games on the Wii U, and Nintendo (more so than Sony and MS) has maintained a single generation backward compatibility.

That being said, the Switch will not play Wii U disks.  It remains to be seen if the downloads from Wii U are playable on the Switch.

I like that Nintendo innovates on the hardware side, although they clearly don't always get it right.  The Wii U does however get major time/use in our home as a result of Splatoon, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., and Zeldas (from prior consoles).  PS3 - not much time at all.


1)  Consider the source of this "news report";
2)  Shouldn't this be listed under "Opinion" or "Editorials" or "Comments"?


Perhaps you ought to knock off the ridiculous questions and learn what the Pope is attempting to teach.


Given that so few care about UAA sports , not broadcasting games is easy cost savings.  God bless them for showing home games live .  That saves the cost of parking and the price of a ticket .  GCI is a cheapskates best friend .


wow


Mark Thomas is right. Nainoa Thompson should speak out on the TMT telescope.

He serves as a role model for today's Hawaiians and tomorrow's leaders in the whole community. He needs to have the courage to speak the truth.


Possibly..I have not seen any exhaustive analysis for him, compared to McDavid.

Unfortunately, defense-men (except Orr, if I recall) do not warrant the same dollars or trend-setting payment schedule. Doesn't mean it is right, it just is.

One other factor, if McDavid keeps improving, he will continue to have a growing effect on the Oilers, as well as the potential to start winning the scoring race by ever increasing numbers...

Again, I hope he learns from this years' playoff experience and does better next season..


The infrastructure bank is P3s on steroids. Remember Dalton promising to kill P3s and then once elected just changed the name. P3s are privatization by stealth and when you mix private companies and gov't together you have corruption and fraud of taxpayers money. It's a farce called "financial viability" which is a smoke screen for commercial confidentiality. Documents become unavailable to elected officials and even Auditor Generals. The Manitoba Conservative party overturned a law from 2014 called "The Public-Private Partnerships Transparency and Accountability Act" which allowed some public access to documents. What we have is what John Perkins (ex. NSA whistle blower) would call "Asset Stripping". We have public assets being sold off or taken over by private companies at bargain prices. Once they're gone, they're gone for good. I would like to see an honest Journalist do a complete report on P3s and reveal just how hard it is to get any information on these projects.


The red line wasn't ignored; it wasn't triggered.


Sigh. For the thousandth time, Black Lives Matter is and does none of the things you name. It is a peaceful group bringing attention to the systematic and institutional discrimination that has denied blacks the opportunities whites in this country have long enjoyed. Not being shot by police for the color of your skin, for example. Let's make a deal, Move On. You don't presume to speak for groups you don't even attempt to understand, and in return I will stop calling out your posts for their sheer idiocy. Also please stop being a coward by hiding behind a pseudonym.


I remember trying years ago to get on at the docks... Not sure what the secret is. However my comment didn't mean "join a union" and get on at the docks, my comment was "join a union" and make your workplace better.


And the Betelnut Wars rage on!!  "Ak Yos," huh?  Well, at least he might have a chance at being able to spell his name.


Sorry, but Trump approval is indeed at 50%.

Why trust 538?   The were wildly wrong about who would win the election.


All I heard was the word "hope" not the word "order" or "stop".  Do you have a build up of wax in your ears?


So, their graduates will be able to apply their geology knowledge with any oil company or mining company who hires them, as long as the oil company or mining company is fine with being told that the dome they're investigating or the mineral vein they want assayed was formed 6,021 years ago on the First Day.


The instinct to live in Tribes is real and based on a will to survive. That is why Trustin and Trump play the public with Identity Politics - because it works.


There is a real sea change going on in the workplace. At the company where I work, there is a difference in values and attitudes between longtime workers and new hires. At some companies, sometimes that creates a conflict. Management really needs to understand this shift.


2.7 Billion shortfall for a project originally estimated at 4.2 Billion.  This news could have been handy before the recent City elections...


Keep up the good fight John!


Oh look at you. You forgot to mention that many of the complaints came from homosexuals complaining that the joke was offensive to them. Or that the complaints came from people who thought he had crossed a line of  decency that pass for the norm on network TV regardless of the time of day.
To try and draw a connection between the complaints to the FCC and Trump supporters shows that you may be the G&M American TV reviewer but you don't understand the nuances required for the job. Like someone who doesn't speak English but uses Google translate to get by.
Trump is slaughtered in the American media non-stop. If you think you've discovered an agenda here you're truly clueless.


The oil industry is still getting their ~$700 million per year to pump our oil though, right?? Phew! Ultimately, I think the important thing is that they have good roads and schools back in Houston.  We Alaskans will just bask in the warm glow of our Republican ideals this winter. Should keep us warm as toast!


I fail to see how the following comment, does not meet civility standards. To those that think it doesn't, because you think the opinion is harsh and unfair, I ask whether you have ever worked there?

Puerto Rico's government was inept and bankrupt prior to the hurricane. Lets put aside as to how that makes it different from the US government.... While Trumps comments are ill conceived, callous and unhelpful, they reflect a disdain of Puerto Rico officials, a disdain they well earned.


Remember when PERS was a good idea?  Neither do I.


Alexandra1  -You have no facts to support most of your points. Another brain-washed millennial I see!


Bums.


Do you know anything about the politics of this state? We've had plenty of Republican governors and Republican US Senators.
But, to you, it's all about the bad Democrats in Denver and Boulder.


I see your point to a degree. But I wouldn’t say that they’re a non-threat...They could lob one somewhere & cause some serious problems and damage....Or what about miniaturizing in sneaking one in??..And setting it off-internally!!


It is perfectly OK for Pope Francis to speak to power, especially truth and challenge.  Had Clinton won the election his comments would probably be a different challenge.


I've been read "James Bryant"....used to be "James T. Bryant" letters for years.  They're a treat.  I love satire and, upon occasion, will post a satirical comment on this site.  The only problem is that some folks don't recognize satire when they read it.  It may well be that for twenty years I've failed to recognize that Mr. Bryant is a "closet leftie" who's just having a bit of fun with us.  If so, James,  good one...buddy. You've got a lot of folks believing that claptrap is for real.  Gary Crum


No different than requiring people to buy car insurance.


I never set foot in WalMart...the last 5 items I had to return were purchased at Canadian Tire...and I have never been the "only person" in the returns line up.


Do you strangle with it or throw it?


He does a great job despite the authors wish to see Saskatchewan's deficit match the levels of the other failing left wing provinces.


That anyone would consider opening or expanding any enterprise with a legislature bent  upon economic suicide...well that would be a strong indication of that business having its own suicidal proclivities.


Maybe you should do your home work rather than your real estate nonsense . Statistics Canada reported that real gross domestic product jumped 0.6 per cent in May from April – triple the solid 0.2-per-cent growth that economists had predicted, and matching the strongest single-month growth in the past six years. Compared with 12 months ago, real GDP was up 4.6 per cent – the fastest year-over-year growth since 2000. Our economy has never been stronger since the turn of the century. Will it last will depend on many factors beyond the control of the government and of course the NAFTA negotiations . Also there is concern about the deficit .


I hear that most of the Punahou graduates who are here for the big reunion this weekend are staying at B&B's if they aren't staying with friends.  I would imagine some of the draw of coming back to the reunion is to feel like when they used to live here, a little bit of nostalgia.


"In the Apprentice, 5th episode, he actually throws 2 of them under the bus". Later when they confront him on the audit, he flat out lies boldface! The one from Tucson is the savior. Yeah, and with Latino heritage. The orange tinge slowly turns to fire red. The red blob then slinks off into the sunset.


It is silly to put pressure on a country with an army of 4 million. China will get tired of Forest Trump soon enough.


Everybody in France is now going to read the emails that the state has deemed blasphemy, social media has ensured it - perhaps that was plan.
One cant imagine that the government is foolish enough to think they can control the message.


The only questions I would ask her is how much money will she personalty gain by this bill. How does that impact her credibility.


My first trip over the Alcan was back in 1962. We drove a '46 Dodge pickup and pulled a 2-wheeled trailer. 35 mph was a good speed and it took two weeks. Up the mountains, stop and let the engine cool down then down the mountains, stop and let the brakes cool down. Flat tires, mud, rough corduroy, rocks, holes, washouts and DUST. Stops at the Lodges for gas and potty. The people at the lodges were usually nice but a few seemed to wish we would just keep on going. It was a long, miserable, hot trip for a ten year-old couped up day after day in the rough old pickup. We had to leave our cat and her kitten, they couldn't take the heat in the pickup. But at night we stopped, pitched our tent, built a campfire and cooked. I'd play awhile along some new lake or stream with kids that always seemed to hit the same campground as we did  before unrolling the sleeping bags and conking out for the night.That was a trip of a life time. Headed for a whole new world called Alaska.


"Trump supported single payer because his far right and Alt Right supporters wanted it"
I heard him mention it once but I did not realize there was support out on the far right.
All this  talk of how the market place will make it cheaper and better seems to contradict this?


No they didn't.  American capitalists are coming out from behind the cover of their basements now that the evil witch Hillary is dead. The anti-capitalists are in full panic now that Trump is reversing the most lethal rules and policies from the past 8 years.  Why else would you despise him so much Jeremy?  The stock market dropped precipitously right after the election to the joy of the left only to correct itself and rise to record highs when investors realized that economic growth is the future when the Trump tax cuts take place. The stock market always is betting on the come.  Do not blame Trump for the failures of a feckless Republican Congress and leftist democrats. If they blow it on tax reform, the economy will continue the 1.5% anemic Obama Era crawl.  This will undoubtedly make the leftist happy since it is their life's work to destroy capitalism.


AI.... Siri, is that you?


President Trump seems to measure 'winning' as 'To the winner belongs the spoils'.  His son can use his fathers power to enrich the family fortune.  He's using the court to claim damages against future earnings as 'the most photographed  woman in the word as first lady', he's using his own branded property to host foreign dignitaries.   I'm sure he doesn't feel the slightest guilt.   He's 'earned it'

Yep he needs to be paid for his 'service'


This article pretty much sums up what's going on with this and Trumps response.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/11/intelligence-agencies-cia-donald-trump-russia?

The best line in the story is this:

"“There is not just smoke here. There is a blazing 10-alarm fire, the sirens are wailing, the Russians provided the lighter fluid, and Trump is standing half-burnt and holding a match,”

“If Trump is willing to disregard sound intelligence now, and demean the hard-working and patriotic Americans who produced it, I fear what he will do as president when confronted with unpleasant truths,”

Clearly a frightening prospect when you have a president elect who is that vain


Again wasting what little money they have, oh wait there's the remaining PFD.


Not usually, but arguably there is a reason to on the first because there's an actual eligibility requirement in the US constitution that such a document would help prove.  So if there's a case for any required documentation, it should be that one.  The other stuff (including the tax return) don't have any basis in legal eligibility.


Yeah, the comparison was "deep-ended," but the false equivalence was so, from the get-go.
How about Deady to some notorious Nazi sympathizer who otherwise was a stellar character--- France, Italy, and Germany had many such.
It's not like slavery was some deep secret--- as some claim the Holocaust was (and since been absolutely refuted). Slavery went on for centuries before Deady, the Civil War (partly) was fought over it. And Oregon, being the last place in the US to have had an active KKK group, wasn't exactly a leader in opposition to it, even long after the fact.
Anyhow, I'm willing to bow to the concerns of kids of color who strongly have objected to it. It's not like this is a local issue, really. I wonder how many oppose this and also feel the Washington Redskins need to change their name?
There's a saying in Portuguese: "Hot pepper on someone else's rump doesn't burn you."


If you believe Kim Jong-nam really died of a heart attack, I have some prime ocean front property near Saskatoon, SK, that just might interest you.


Hope this is the last we hear of her.


Especially, if the accused has had prior complaints, against the cab company, and the authority that licenses the cab company.


wow, does that mean that bill I pay every month to cmpa is imaginary?


Agree. From the description it seems like there’ll be a big and welcoming space there on that ground floor. Nice change from a lot of lobbies that are closed off and make it seem like foot traffic isn’t welcome at all.


Coincidence is not causality.


Too funny... one of the biggest sleazeballs ever now wants victim status.


Gosh. I wonder what the taxi driver is thinking about now! The good Lord was watching out for him that night!


So you quote a part of the article but omit the "Mr. Dithers" reference.  Is that supposed to prove your point?  Rather the opposite I think.


I hate to burst the author's bubble but Kid Rock is not a dolt. Regardless of his politics for which I've never taken an interest, Kid Rock is a very talented guitarist and a veritable encyclopedia when it comes to modern musicology. Sit him down with an acoustic guitar and ask him to play anything popular from the last 50 years and, likely, he'll do it. His knowledge of country and rock music is amazing and possibly unsurpassed. He is extremely highly regarded among musicians. Beat the guy down all you want but don't call him a dolt just because you don't like his behaviour.


I think those who are the most manic about being anti-gun restrictions of any kind should have their mental health evaluated.

But then, Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to own guns, didn't he.


I'm a dumb Hawaiian.  Please translate...

“My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded
by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian
and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord
at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight
against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with
deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact
that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As
a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have
the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice..."

-Adolf Hitler, speech in Munich on April 12, 1922-


All sides got the "touchdown." Everyone's a winner moored under Our Lady and the Golden Dome!


What in the world is the "balance of probabilities"?

Tell me where I was snippy please, in words or in tone.

Can't find any details about this tragedy. Do remember this is the Memorial Day weekend. Drunk boat driver? Sad as she is described as a very loving mother who cries when she describes her son's past business failures. At 71, she will be forever young. Pray for the father's recovery although he probably doesn't when he hears what happened. Maybe it's just better to stay home and enjoy the holiday on TV.


The Russki hackers are already hard at work on a new iteration of WannaCry that's called WannaCling.  It will be the official upgrade app for the TrumpBot OS.


The FBI investigation will continue, only with a competent leader at the helm.  Spoiler alert Ed Board, both the house and senate are conducting separate investigations.


Unfortunately true.


Your argument is superficial.  Your pts have already been slagged by several posters, so no need to repeat the obvious.

Nobody is ever going to defend the IOC, NCAA, FIFA, or any of those other organizations, but bad-mouthing them does not make the NHL right, or even, as seems implicit in your post, less wrong.


The steady drumbeat of the anti Trumper's never stops.

When they feel compelled to write such things as this "But critics of the president said Trump’s comments have a lot to do with race" it is called grasping at straws. (Desperation at its finest hour.)


There is nothing of the kind about him not having any money in the article about the taxes. Just in case you do not realize it, this was in 1995. Also included in the article is the statement that the IRS found nothing illegal or improper with his 1995 tax records. By the way, what on earth does this have to do with an article about Mike Pence being the reason evangelicals are now supporting Trump in much larger numbers?


LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF CANADA . . .
We are being abused as citizens and human beings.

We must take our grievances not to the street, but the Courts of our country. PM Selfie is out of control and in violation of his duties of care and legal trust to us all.

I do not believe for one minute longer, our collective governments care if we live or die, as long as we can be juiced like an orange for every last hard earned dollar in our possession.

It is time we deliver our own . . .
. . . CANADIAN PROCLAMATION FOR REFORMATION

A proclamation stating we Canadians' created government to work for us citizens. Government that recognizes we citizens are all worthy of equal benefit, equal opportunity and equal protections by and from the laws of our land. Government can longer treat themselves better with our money, than government treats those earning and working for our money in the first place.


Maybe the hammer wielding avenging angel needs to crack a few legislative coconuts.


We are already overcrowded and under staffed.


Nonsense. Ethyl mercury and methyl mercury are as different chemically as ethyl and methyl alcohol. I am a poetry professor, not a chemist, but dammit, I know my alcohol.


Modern outboards are four stroke - much cleaner. Many jurisdictions have banned the older two stroke engines.
Ski lifts never used two stroke engines - they run on electricity or diesel.


Don't care as long as I can see the U.S. ads. Plan on recording it and fast-forwarding thru the game itself.


We would prefer not only someone who's out and proud, but also someone who was willing to publicly challenge the status quo for the sake of making the church a safer, more welcoming place for LGTB people, especially young gay people who commit suicide at a far higher rate than their straight counterparts, all because they learned how to hate themselves in church from some priest. For all his many fine qualities, like rushing into a building on fire in order to administer last rites to the dying, Mychal Judge did not do that.


As most of the world knows by now, Jewish survival and Israel's success has had little do with popularity and more to do with prowess by way of exceptional and superior ability, skill, and strength. The history of the UN is one of fecklessness and ineptitude, the most recent illustration of course being Syria. The UN's support of and lack of action against totalitarian and anti-democratic nations many of which maintain ranking positions on UN committees is but one example of the sad state of the UN. If anything, following the UN example and adhering to its proven ignorance and folly is a guarantee of failure and collapse. Witness Syria. Press on, Israel.


There is an inverse relationship between abortion and availability of contraception. When contraceptives are outlawed, which is the agenda of the bishops since they can't convince the folks in the pews not to indulge, the number of abortions will increase. If they make abortion illegal, the number of fatalities to pregnant women will increase. Making something illegal when the population does not support its' criminalization only makes the 'problem' worse. Recall Prohibition and what a great success that was! (sarcasm alert!) The bishops lost credibility on pelvic issues since Humanae Vitae was widely panned and the politics behind it revealed. Similarly, the symbiosis between right wing Catholics and right wing evangelicals has added to the loss of credibility of the bishops who seem to embrace the right wing leaving the vast majority of the faithful if not abandoned at least finding our own way.


We aren't talking about APCs. We are talking about armored vehicles that have been retrofitted because of the IED threat to soldiers providing protection to supply conveys in Iraq and Afghanistan. Check the price of these vehicles when made and sold to civilian police force, over half a million, one that the city will absorb after somebody is killed because police failed to protect and evacuate when they had a duty to do..... "Special Interest ". Sat in lots of classes,  some hosted by DOJ regarding police liability.


There is a silver lining in the Republicans having all three branches of government under their control. Simply put it is that there is no one else to blame. It helps those who believe in a more parliamentary form of government. If a party is in control of government then there is no way to blame anyone else when things go bump in the night.  However, this is not always an "elite v elite" battle. There are real people that are effected by the decisions the Supreme Court makes and rarely do these discussions revolve around those individuals.  There was one moment when the country might have broken out of this death spiral (the rich elite being able to control decisions and policy through campaign donations) and the Republicans blocked the appointment. I believe that everything depends on overturning "Citizens United" and restoring our Republic.  Thus the democrats must treat this as a quid pro quo and never vote for a Republican nominee until the Republicans give back the stolen seat.


Be smart.  There is no way the state can afford a $2 billion FEED for Walker's fantasy gas line to nowhere.  So stop wasting money and pull the plug on this uneconomical project NOW.  $100 million could be much better spent elsewhere in state government.


What Canada needs is a Central Banker with cajones to raise rates by about 5%-7%.  Remember the 80's, the Bank of Canada rate hit 21% in August 1981, what would happen to all the marginal RE players then?  You would see greed dribble down the drain.


Trump will still be here because only good people get to go to heaven.  And he doesn't qualify.


Yawn....


And the all drove there in their motorized vehicles,  probably stayed in a hotel and went to a restaurant!


They'll need him.


However, my taxes are being collected and will be used to fund religious schools, not of my choice.  You probably think your taxes now pay for 'non-religion', but you certainly have the right to teach your religion of choice outside of public schools.  Are you one of those who objects to the teaching of evolution in public school, or perhaps health classes?


Funny, I just saw one of their commercials on TV.


???????????????????????

Keep industry from moving overseas or to Mexico!

Renegotiate trade deals!

Maybe it's time to stop reading radical blogs and read the news, to find out what's going on.


Colleen must be happy.  She gets to go to the Senate, after all.

What a joke!

At least now we will be able to see who is buying access.

I hope that when a fundraiser is announced Canadians will peacefully demonstrate around the site immediately before and during the event.


I just bet that you and your Tea Pottyer pals never cared about the NFL, before your Dear Leader told you to boycott. HAhahaha ha. So, all you do is come here with your political poison, where we discuss football, the Bolts, Rivers noncussing trash talk, can the running game get going, etc etc etc.

Take your foul politics away, over to the political comment section. Your off topic Tea trash talk is not welcome nor appropriate here.


Sure, Ackmed.yur turban may be on little too tight.


The only problem with the natural law is that for folks who want to do what they want to do, particularly when it comes to matters sexual, it is an impediment.

Synonyms have never created an unstoppable barrier to human knowledge in the past.

Since it is interpreted through the Church, it is not personal opinion.

Since you’re a peon along with the rest of us peons, and the Church through the Holy Father is not, your assessment that “the person does not have an actual argument” is simply one of those personal opinions you take issue with.

Unless you are a "great ape" incapable of making moral choices, your last comment constitutes that blather you dislike.

After decades I'd work up some fresh arguments against Humana Vitae.


Well, by definition a shot longer than 10 seconds would fly further than this one, and since this is the longest one to ever hit a target, no bullet has ever gone more than 10 seconds to target, at least in war.
Thanks, that's like one of those logic problems you use to teach the subject with.


How about sending your kids to private schools? Or could it be that you find some advantages ($$$$)in the government-runned and publicly-funded free tuition system over the private one?


How long has the lead been in the water at these schools and how far back does testing go? My brother and I both attended Rose City Elementary in the early 1990's and the "Rice Site" mentioned used to be a kindergarten - Rice School. We went to kindergarten there! Is there any way to obtain this information? If the journalist or someone else working on looking into this can contact me, if there's a list we can get on or something. We have both suffered from mental health issues from childhood and are concerned now it could be connected to childhood lead exposure. Thank you so much.


Bathrooms on the brain, Richard?  I do hope you get over it.


The irony of it..... a complete game and a shut out.


I know Waianae is Tulsi's district. Name what she has done for the Leeward Coast besides giving a lot of WAHA. The example you gave of Tulsi fighting the Republican House was not an example of anything she was doing for the Leeward Coast. Talk about paying attention to the facts. By the way...It's Comey and not Come.


Interesting idea.  High tech trash incinerators and flue scrubbers are worth looking into and hopefully with UH coordination.


"That's not true. It's the same idea ... for the common good".
This nonsense about using government to strip the individual of their rights under the guise of "common good" is getting way out of hand. The common good is the government providing for things and services that would be unreasonable for individual to provide for themselves.
it would be unreasonable to expect the individual to have their own military, road and bridges, schools, courts, etc. There is nothing unreasonable to expect them to purchase their own lodging, food, clothing and yes even healthcare. Like I said apple and oranges
.


Reminder: It wasn't Trump's name that was on Epstein's flight log. It was your god Bill the rapist Clinton's.


That is an utterly ridiculous thing to say, since these poor people were specifically targeted because they were members of the LGBT community.

That would be like saying that Adolf Hitler targeted 6 million people for death in concentration camps in WWII, and failing to mention that they were Jews.


That the leader of a country is so openly mocked and a laughing stock that he has to hide and can't show his face in question period, is truly symbolic of the disastrous direction Canada is headed.

If Justins intent is to be Canada's official mascot for the remainder of his term, can we get Prince Harry instead?  He is far smarter.


Mary:

 The figure used isn't one I brought up, however I do believe that the majority of Muslims are peaceful, but if these forums prove anything, it is the fact that one need not go far to encounter intolerance from many directions. I myself do not subscribe to any form of organized religion, but I support and admire those of faith, until their faith or the focus of that faith intrudes on the rights of others, or that religion is used as a weapon to force others to comply or face a worse fate.
 Unfortunately religion, faith, and tolerance for the beliefs of others, seem to always conflict, if history has taught us anything, Religion, under any banner one chooses, has been the single biggest factor in the loss of millions of lives.


A moral foreign policy means keeping our troops out of other peoples' countries, where they have been doing a lot of butchering. I see no reason why our butchering is any more moral than theirs. We're just pouring gasoline on a fire, and we're doing it for selfish reasons. No one appointed the US government to be world emperor.

Indeed.  There are Canadians who go abroad for medical treatment because they want to access cosmetic surgery and gastric bypass surgery.  I say more power to them.

I can't tell you the number of family and friends who have had fantastic health care treatment here in Canada.  Thank goodness I am Canadian.


Hilarious, your biases cause you to miss the point of the article completely.  The author is glorifying in the justice of the proceedings. "This mess" was created by the Merry Monarchists and their traveling clown show.


Q:  If these leaks were causing so much trouble for the Clinton campaign, why did they ignore and stonewall instead of at some point changing strategy and addressing the issues in an open and honest way?


I am so sad that the Knights are supporting Crux. I fear this will result in Crux not being able to be fair and just in their reporting.  I wish Crux had been able to find a better partner.

When was the last time you flew, back in the 70s? It's better and cheaper then ever.


Well said.  I posted myself below on another aspect of this piece.  The entire piece is extremely poorly written and researched.  As you say, it does serious damage.  Readers, stay far away from these puff pieces which are at best horribly incomplete.   Get serious input from a CPA or fee-only/per hour planner, if you need it.  The best course is to take full control, educate yourself, and go deep.  This is your money and your financial well being at stake.  You have to own it or get someone that has a fiduciary or personal responsibility (to you) to help you own it.


It seems reasonable to assume from this that at the meeting with RC Jr. Russia was offering damaging information about Clinton in exchange for repeal of the Magnitsky Act or at least a dilution of it.

RC Jr's claim that nothing was actually shown to him would be accurate but the Russian lawyer as a matter of course would not have shown what they had until they knew what they would get in return.

I doubt US investigators will miss this point. RC Jr. is looking guiltier every day.


How about living in a state with no income tax? (Subject to change) How about those roads you drive on? How about schools for your children? How about hospitals, and cancer treatment facilities? How about income for every entrepreneur and employee in the state? If you don't think oil money has contributed either directly, or through the wages it pays its employees and contractors, you just keep on fishing and chop some extra wood while you're at it. Things are going to get tough real soon without new discoveries.

his supporters are too thick to understand why they should be cringing


I see that the arms sales to Saudi Arabia, which was initiated under President Obama, is now a "bad thing" because President Trump is the one actually doing it.

President Trump was awarded the same Gold Chain and Medal given to President Obama, as well.

"Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Saturday slammed the $110 billion defense deal President Trump signed with Saudi Arabia, saying the U.S. is relying on a country with "the worst human rights record in the region" to bring peace and security to the Middle East."


There is no getting around the fact that the PM is having difficulty accepting criticism of his government and in particular, him.  The focus and attention of  the G&M on this story has angered him.  He is being held to account for less than stellar democratic behaviour of he and his ministers being open to suggestion and implementing them, for a price.   He is now entrenched in defending what he knows cannot be defended.  He thought he could ride out the storm but that is not going to happen.  This political behaviour is abhorrent to Canadians, which they regard as corrupt, as it is they who will pay the bill for the consequences.  The PM does not serve himself well for being openly hypocritical on this issue.  And his comment about supporting the middle class is contemptible arrogance directed towards the media and Canadians.

Of course, in the  Middle  Ages,  telling  that  kind  of  truth  will  get  you  killed. Of course, you don’t have to be female to understand curses, but in our tribe it was the women who often were.

What does that have to do with this neighborhood dispute?

Do you think that native born citizens can't commit murder?


Sigh...

If you don't understand ecclesiology, I am not going to teach it to you.  Suffice it to say--you can't just arbitrarily decide that God has not spoken just because the pope has made a decision about dogma that you don't like.

There is a biological reason why women cannot be ordained: they do not have a Y Chromosome. In order to be ordained to the priesthood, one must be male.  You are right about there being no psychological reason why women cannot be ordained. I am not aware that the Church tries to argue there is a psychological reason though.  There are many theological reasons why women cannot be ordained, but the chief reason is that women cannot be ordained because God has not given the Church the authority to ordain women.


True enough with the new ones, we also have an X3, found out it has an electric water pump, my cost for the pump and `stat is $600 + installation.. Last summer the water pump went on the 330ci in North Carolina, cost for everything was less than $250 installed. The X3 is our last Bimmer, the 330ci is forever.


This reminds me of the New Orleans mayor?    Let's see, didn't he blame bush fir everything, only to be found out later that the mayor was a crook and was at fault......
Politics when people need help.  I think this mayor is all about politics.    Where are words if thanks fir what's been done so far?

Newt is a very bad person.  He has cheated on multiple wives, lied, is a hypocrite, and made Congress toxic.   Now he defends the indefensible - the Trump.  I wish Newt would go to the moon and leave us alone.


Go ahead.  It would do nothing for the unfunded liability.... but if it makes you feel better....


He is a talking hypocrite. He stated he will go to lower 48 to look for work. How is an Alaskan going to another state for employment any different from what his complaint is?

He made $3000 a week. He should have lived within his very generous means while he was employeed. Blaming. a co-worker from another state for his poor budgeting is ridiculous.


we will all be waiting for the lunatic liberal trolls to come here today and make excuses and justify this crap!1 lets see, alcest, chris in ottawa, and the list goes on,,, come on trolls, start with "but what will brown do any different" bs,, come on we need a good laugh at you a holes...

I am really convinced that "allie" is made up of different writers that are paid to troll us, and there is nothing wrong with that...the newspaper is a business not a public service.  But even for this "allie", it is a little mean spirited.  I think it is enough that our political arena and by association our society, is getting meaner and meaner...don't you? Come on "allie"...you are above this kind of comment.


I think all future Alaskan political candidates will be challenged with 2 questions.  Where did you stand on SB 128 and what was your stand on Donald Trump being the Republicans top choice in 2016.  Was Donald your parties best representative of what your party stands for.  More precisely when did you make a opinion on Donald and what was your statement.


You think trump obstructed justic I assume. I suggest you watch the portion of the hearings left out by the media. Senator risch. He puts it brilliantly to comey. Trump said he hopes you will not look into Flynn. Key word hopes. Next he says to comey how many people have you charged/investigated , 100's to 1000's. Out of those people how many hoped for a specific outcome in there case, more than likely all of them. How many were charged for a crime for hoping for an outcome, zero because hoping is not illegal. You guys have an obsession with Russia that is absolutely crazy. Because of people like you we could never have a relationship with them. Some of us don't want to live with the constant Russian fear propagated to us daily from the left. It gets about as old as protesting for months straight because you can't handle the election outcome that Hillary ruined for herself by, shocker, not campaigning outside of states she already had. That's it. Not Russian hacking. Just incompetence.


Corrections/ Information:
- The Senate is under no obligation or timeline to hold a vote. The can offer their "advice and consent" or withhold it at will.
- The court is not constitutionally set at nine. Congress determines the number of justices and that number has fluctuated between 5 and 10 at various times since its inception.


You've posted this several times...no 50 cents for you!


Shouting at us in capital letters does not support your claims. Nor does the fact that your earlier comment was deleted because it did not meet civility standards. And nor does 'thinking for yourself' (which, if you stay here long enough, you will see is challenged strongly by those who are currently 'liking' your comments).


Not a single person could provide one example of evidence to corroborate your claim of "Clinton corruption" yesterday, so I'll invite you to do so today. It should be easy if Hillary is such a big baddy like you claim. Just one  piece of verifiable evidence that she has ever committed a crime. Just one. I'll wait.

FACT:  Improper (illegal) entry is a MISDEMEANOR.

"Under federal criminal law, it is misdemeanor for an alien (i.e., a non-citizen) to: Enter or attempt to enter the United States at any time or place other than designated by immigration officers; Elude examination or inspection by immigration officers; or Attempt to enter or obtain entry to the United States by willfully concealing, falsifying, or misrepresenting material facts."


Are you aware that in Alaska our Public Health centers provided birth control services at no cost to low cost for teenagers ?
I was with two of my former foster daughters while they got implants in thier arms. Within six months they had them removed and had gotten pregnant again. While they may be exceptions, most teenagers or "poor women" do have the means to get birth control. Medicaid covers prescriptions for birth control in Alaska but not for abortions.
Some school based health programs do the same.
For most teens wanting birth control there is help available. Health classes often provide students with the resources available.
For the teenagers who have emotional or religious reasons for not getting birth control, they are high risk for pregnancy.
You might check with your public health center, maybe they have quit giving birth control pills and condoms away but most still do. As for IUD's and the arm implants, a nurse practitioner trained to do it can provide the service.


How about you lead the way and cut out all corporate welfare and give up your pie in the sky pipe dream.

You're muttering about a 'brighter future' at the same time you're attempting to saddle us with tens of billions more debt is utter nonsense.

I actually agree that Harper had principles..  I didn't agree with all of his principles, and of course sometimes he held his nose and tolerated things he clearly couldn't stand (like Rob Ford) but I think he is an ethical person who acts according to his values.  Still glad he's not prime minister any more ....
I do think Trudeau also has principles, though.


Yes....because he will make deals to get results.


Tillerson will go to Moscow wearing a different hat.

His main virtue is that he is a hard nosed negotiator representing the USA as opposed to an oil company.

USA-Kultur is everywhere in 'your' life;

"Trump needs to name and condemn the evil in Charlottesville"

He did.

President Trump said he condemned the situation "on many sides". But the MSM only wants to concentrate on one side - that of 6,000 KKK loonies with no support or weapons. They continue to ignore BLM and Antifa - which get financial support from George Soros and other leftists, as well as cover from the American MSM while they have perpetrated 1,000 times the violence and destruction over the past 2-3 years.

The MSM's main narrative for days before this situation was that President Trump's language was far too strong and provocative towards a country whose leader is testing nuclear weapons and is threatening to attack America on a daily basis.

Does anyone else realize how ridiculous the anti-Trumpers are?


Bravo to the residents who rescued the child and grabbed the loon who tried to kill him.

Now, can we please have a PSA campaign to tell people who to call about their crazy relatives who need treatment before they kidnap and try to kill your toddler? And can we please work on more effective mental health laws to take these people to a safe place where they can't hurt anyone including themselves?

In any case, the separatist movement in Quebec is far from dead. One could say that it is sort of dormant, but it would not take much to revive it


Really!  They are spending more than they bring in, and you want to give them more?  This coming from someone who has no idea what it is like to be 20-30, looking for a job, trying to make a life for themselves.


But remember, the right only went against Obama because he's black, not because he was unqualified. His apology tour was amazing, btw.


Confidentiality is confidentiality and for whatever reason the company obtaining this data wants it to remain so.  I worked as an interviewer for the census bureau in the last go-around and there is no way I would ever say anything - no matter how much someone asked.  The price I would have to pay?  Anyone violates this confidentiality law (and it is to be kept confidential for life), it is a federal crime; they will face severe penalties, including a federal prison sentence of up to five years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both.

Directional drilling has been in use for YEARS, heck decades.  If area 1002 has oil, directional drilling could likely reach it and there wouldn't be any surface disturbance.  I did some research in Prudhoe in about 2001 and the caribou herds had increased from 200,000 +/- to over 400,000 +/- with the oil development and the size of area 1002 in relationship to ANWR is like throwing a dime on a football field.


It's to much for you to handle, ask someone to help you.


The Catholic Church, in theory, now espouses a preferential option for the poor, which she does based on the Authority of Christ. That she has failed miserably in the past (and present) in this mission doesn't mean she can't pick herself up and try again. Pope Francis and his allies are trying again.
A more just distribution of social and material goods has Christ's imprimatur, as you must know. It's hard to understand why you'd glibly mock the teaching of Pope Francis on issues relevant to this mission as evidence of his "self-interest" or his mere power-seeking. PF is encouraging Christians to cooperate with God more effectively so as to redeem human power on Earth by aligning it in consilience with its rightful origin in the Kingdom of God, seems to me. That power has been usurped for millennia.

Your cynicism can get tiresome.

But then Sequim drivers would feel the need to go 5 or 10 mph slower than that  --  you could end up with stasis, or a whole road grid running ver-ry slo-o-owly in reverse.

I say, set the speed limits in Sequim at about 35.  Then traffic will move at its proper speed of 25, at least between the universal mini-naps at the new improved traffic lights.

There would be no net improvement in "downtown" Sequim, but  traffic might move pretty normally through Big Box Land  --  especially since no true Sequim driver slows or stops for anything in a roundabout.


Como, if the state doesn't like the cost of caring for prisoners, it can release them or not place them there in the first place. Nowhere is it etched in stone that anyone needs to serve even a single day in prison, and no one has a gun to the state's head making it lock up people at a cost of nearly $1 billion per year.


Rah rah siss boom bah.  Nice underhand pitch, Mark!  Portland has been trashed while the urban planning cabal cheered.  Enjoy living in a crappy apartment, kids.


Totally agree. I always laugh when announcers call a running back who's 5'9" and 210 small. There's a difference between short, and small. And it's not all that complicated.
A guy who's 5'7" or 5'8" and 210 is actually significantly THICKER than a guy who's 6'1" and 210.

As long as a guy's sturdy enough to take the pounding, outside of short legs impeding straight line top end speed, being shorter and harder to find behind a bunch of 6'5" 310 pound O linemen and in traffic in GENERAL, and having a lower center of gravity for cutting, is actually an ADVANTAGE.

His career wasn't what I'd hoped, but it was annoying when announcers would ALWAYS mention how small Quentin Griffin was. Even though Q and Glyn Milburn were BOTH 5'7", no one this side of Helen Keller would claim they had the same body type.
Even though 205-210 pounds is definitely lighter than average for today's NFL running backs, I sure as HELL don't wanna stand in between 207 pound Maurice Jones Drew, and the goal line.

"School segregation in South Africa, like everything else, was created by people"

Correction: Schools, like reading, writing, mathematics and all other subjects taught in SA schools, were created by white people.  (No need to thank me for assisting you to get your facts straight, Mr Author.)

Let me further assist the author of this tedious, racist bilge. Instead of forever screaming your magic little r-word, and being hampered by your eternal victim mentality, why not do what Afrikaners did? Afrikaners were put into concentration camps by the Nazi British, and then later described as donkeys and made to wear dunce caps by the likes of Lord Milner.

However, Afrikaners, unlike the loser author, went and build their own schools and universities like Tuks and Stellenbosch. It's up to you, Mr Author. You can continue being an eternal victim, or the ANC government can build multiple excellent black private schools, and establish a black Harvard and Yale in SA.


The "bad" actor with the "Oscar"?!

Exactly what my original post said. Gun control is good, but it doesn't always work.
Idiots want to "break the record" for the most killings so they will be "famous" is the problem. STOP publicizing their names and others will think twice about "going out in a blaze of glory" - as sick and sad as that may be.
