Why do you insist on making a big deal out of saying that Martin Luther King was originally named "Michael"? Is it just one more sneer?


I suppose I'm one of the fringe element.  I would rather die myself, than abort my baby or participate in another's abortion.


My comment was more about the evident greed and low probability  of continuing to get  70%/year  with this stuff than any expertise on (ongoing) growth...
He needs to cash out some of this FANG stuff and move on.

Thanks for your usual constructive feedback btw :)


Catholic sacramental theology teaches that a specific intention is not necessary. Only a deliberate contrary intention invalidates a sacrament. Most people, Catholics especially, who marry for the first time will initially intend to stay together for the rest of their lives and this is sufficient for a valid marriage. A marriage is always presumed to be valid unless it can be proved otherwise and that is the purpose of the tribunal. Even then the judgement is only conditional depending upon the truthfulness of the spouses and the witnesses.


All they did was recount the votes they didn't check to see if they had been changed or falsified. So no one can say for certain if it did or did not affect the outcome.


Has no one noticed Trump talks a lot and pushes may buttons? Learn to ignore him but be prepared. We have a NAFTA trade deal already. If it is tweaked there will be give and take as in any deal. I only hope we have savy people involved that know how to play the game. I hope he forces us to abandon our egg and dairy boards and operate in a normal market place instead of this distortion. Of course the farmers love it!


It's supposed to be symbolic.  Does it really matter what it's made of?  It's like arguing whether a flag should be nylon or polyester.


Probably due to the company you keep. Some don't  stray from those with like-minded ideas.


The purpose of catch and release is to help preserve the fishery and leave the fish for the next fisherman to catch. I am not referring to salmon but all other sport fish. I love to fish and Alaska has great fishing compared to the rest of the country. Your time would be better spent writing an article about how to properly release a fish to help assure it will live another day. If the the options are to be killed and eaten or released what do you think the fish would chose?


What?!!?!   The only concerns I ever hear are from the right, as they are the ones who want to keep making tougher penalties, electing judges, etc.


You've got your wish.


Picky Point: The title of the letter indicates immigrants' fear is real, and it very well may be. However, is their fear reasonable?Based on posts here, maybe it is...maybe it's not. Time will tell.


Expressing those views will most likely not become a crime in the U.S.. Expressing those views will, however, most likely result in your being called out on baseless revisionist nonsense as well as potentially being labeled as an anti-semite.


Take the plank out of your own eye so you can see that Big Oil's  billon-dollar tax loophole that the Republican majority is feverishly protecting is impacting the state's fiscal mess.  Soooo, you're OK with giving Big Oil a billion-dollars for doing what; and taking nearly a billion from Alaskans' PFD?


Good grief what a simple thought. Get teenagers off welfare having career babies and never work. Put dead beat zipper happy fathers in fields or military to serve and help pay for children is 18. Leave the elderly alone we paid for last 80 plus years up to now. Its younger generation to care for us as we paid to care for previous generations. If you find fountain of youth, bottle it and i will buy a bunch.


How did this piece of crap get on TV?


you'd have to detail your response for me to comprehend the rationale, but the numbers of homeless whom will somehow win with this exercise are minimal, exceedingly so outer-island.
what we've needed forever are the 20,000+ homeless in Hawaii to have minimal / cost effective / personal / permanent / FREE homes with full services for their overt needs. entire new communities of container apts. are far better and should dot the islands, specifically designed to support unique aspects of these mentally / physically / upwardly challenged folks. building / maintaining / servicing these new communities also generates in-state work for islanders. if extended to those housed but financially struggling then it can level off the insane rents and new home prices.
the benefits of modded container homes over standard homes are nearly innumerable and I assure that if they're provided those moving in will make it a real home real fast.
I'm sure you see how such solutions will be condemned by some.


From the article
"also allege sexual and physical assault but those issues are not part of the settlement to be announced this week."

When will tho$e i$$ue$ be $ettled?


"So I took my wife and daughter downtown".  As you learned, big mistake.  There is never a good reason to go to downtown Anchorage.  Go to Kincaid or Glen Alps, places the homeless and miscreants haven't taken away from us (yet).


What I have difficulty understand is the unquestioned acceptance of incredibly wasteful corporate welfare in aid of murdering children in other countries, but all manner of shrieking and flailing when it comes to feeding them in this one.


November 2009: Army Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 13. Obama ruled it “workplace violence,” even though Hasan was in contact with an al Qaeda leader before the strikes and praised Allah as he mowed down troops.
June 2009: Al Qaeda-trained Abdulhakim Muhammad opened fire on an Army recruiting office in Little Rock, Ark., killing Pvt. William Long and wounding Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula.


More guilt articles by the Globe.  More whining.  I am so sick of reading how terrible Canadians are and how we should be ashamed of asserting Canadian values.


I flagged "it" for an inexcusably rude remark. But I suspect the logic behind that, as well as JSB's, is that some "lib-tard" has to be responsible for such gross ignorance - in this instance, teachers and their unions. No one should ever be responsible for his/her own learning, and it's not like one now has easy access to all kinds of information that one might want to consult before expressing one's outrage ...


Except gangs are not a business.  If that is the best example you can use, I feel sorry for you.  Why would you use a group of people who conduct illegal activity all the time and are not sanctioned by nearly anyone, as an example of how you as a white male are not treated equally?


Still another reason to have contempt for this declining, environmentally destructive, market-manipulated industry — overpaid executives.

The sooner it becomes a permanently smaller part of our economy, the better.


Not that I care about what is mostly just a virtue-signaling food fashion statement, but the biggest food fraud is what passes for “organic”…..


@retired juggie, I tend to agree with you for the most part and was merely using LB and WM as examples of corporate failures in similar businesses. The fact that my family have over 25% of our net worth tied up in four of the five Canadian big bank stocks attests to my faith in their operations no matter how aggressive their sales tactics.

I'll just defend my other post by saying Lehman may not have been a mortgage originator but it collapsed as a direct result of investing in mortgage debt instruments as did Bear Stearns. WaMu suffered a run on the bank due to it's shaky mortgage business. There are direct parallels to our Big 5, residential mortgages passed the $1 Trillion mark in Canada last year and make up the single largest portion of all the banks' businesses. The difference here however, is that CMHC backstops high-ratio mortgages and OSFI regulation essentially keeps the Schedule 1 banks out of the sub-prime market making credit risk considerably lower than the US experience.


That works for me, so get off your high horse.

You can't claim financial harm against a risk that you knew to be there. The doctor knew full well that there was still a risk of conception in the circumstances. Hence he was willing to accept the risk of a child being born. He just thought the risk was less than it was.

You're just setting men up for even more onerous consequences when an unwanted child is born. A woman could turn around a sue a man just like this man tried to do to the woman. So in addition to paying child support, the man could be on the hook for $4 million in damages for the "emotional harm" he caused to the woman's lifestyle. Stupid!


Alaska is not living off the teats of Big Oil. It is the other way around. Big Oil is getting a free ride from Alaskans, because with the free $700 million per year tax credit, Big Oil does not paid any taxes to Alaska. BS 21 has to be replaced with ACES.


I was totally holding out for paragliding extraction.


I'm just asking what happened to the blockbuster Russian collusion story.  You know, the one that was supposed to show Trump had rigged the election?

Hardly mentioned anymore.

Dumdadumdum!


You know that lunch isn't free, right?


Excuse me ?  It was the democrats who fooled you last time and put us in the position we are today .  Let's give republicans a chance to fix things.  If it turns out they lied like Obama and democrats did on health care there will be the next election to hold them accountable .


"Sometimes you have to take a shot before you shoot back". No you don't, that's a miserable excuse for protecting the country and our allies. Glad you aren't in charge. China won't do squat to stop the sawed off egomaniac. The time is coming, probably sooner than later to take that POS off the planet. Enough is enough. The only thing China is concerned about is keeping N Koreans from eating their food.


Its simply amazing that so many R's and D's are blood-oath wedded to the dividend. Even in the face of a cold stark reality. They say touching the dividend is the 3rd rail of Alaska politics..I say BS on that...There is no way we can sustain a BS dividend any longer! Hey I'm touching it! The 3rd rail! There is no electrical current in it...it is dead! The lie is over.....We Are Free!!!!


Have you seen this trail? Have you seen these signs?  $400 is a good deal. If you don't like how the government is run, why don't you run for office.


Any endorsement from the Donald is the kiss of death.  Sort of reminds you of any endorsement coming from Rob and Doug


So you will vote to pass this tax so Oregon Trail card people have their benefits reduced by 2.5% because that's 'sticking it to the corporations'?


And then there's the extraordinary amounts of money leaving here by Mexican workers back to Mexico and taxes be damned.


Ditto, KapoleiJoe!  And you just proved it by your freedom to speak your own truths.


The problem is that the orange hair colored chump on top speaks to them with the "Make America White Again" message.


Frankly, I like walking around the "Bumville" parts of downtown Eugene (W. Broadway&Olive=epicenter). It's the real life zombie experience. So much more entertaining than the family-friendly, boring downtowns of Corvallis, Bend, Salem, et al.
At some point, I'm sure the councilors of those towns will unite here to find out how they, too, can do as much for their bored citizens.


It is pretty clear that The Republican majority ignored their constituents.  It is also clear that our Sen. Lisa Murkowski did the same thing when she voted DeVos out of committee.  You know what they say, "money talks, s... walks."


"Regressive" = "doesn't agree with me".


wait until he meets bubba.  bubba will gladly help him with his fantasies


Feed the cat? I have a cat??


Before anything reasonable can be contemplated this pipe-dream obsessed governor and all incumbents MUST be removed.  By election, if timely, by recall if not.


Trudeau described the parliament hill shooting as a murder by a deranged man,  and now describes Quebec as a terrorist act on all Canadians. I wonder what he thinks the distinction is?


I hope you get ticketed for harrassment


Thank God for the differences between men and women.


Is it possible that the Globe could possibly....maybe....pretty please...end you infatuation with Trump and maybe report on our own "leader".

You remind me of an old girlfriend who couldn't shut up about her old boyfriend. blah blah blah. Here's 20 bucks take a cab!


The deep, deep problem that is becoming ever more obvious is the RC hierarchy still think of themselves as theologically/ biologically prior to women in God's plan. Even men by and large no longer accept this presumption - a principal factor in males (some males) backing away from male exclusionary priesthood, from the RCC. Women are the future for an authentically vitalized Church.


What baffles me, Layla4, is the logic that every crime committed BY a hijab wearing woman, or by a person with an Arab name, can only be terrorism.


For all those people who have been insisting for the last year that the Liberals wee serious about electoral reform , I have three questions :
1. Why would the Liberals change a system that has kept them in power for most of Confederation?
2. How is "campaign from the left and rule from the center " (the Liberal mantra) different that lying on the campaign trail?
3. HAHAHAHAHA I can't believe you suckers fell for such obvious BS!

OK admittedly #3 isn't a question, but come on, no one really believed them, did they?


It is a good thing that we still have some politicians that care about human rights and freedom and that they can still influence policy with President Trump.


The BC Liberals simply need to have a leadership contest and remove the scandal ridden Christy from the party.

Had they done this prior to the election, they would have won, and now they end up doing it anyway.

BC wants change, and that starts with removing Christy.


Gary, my previous post was deleted by the censors.  So I'll try again.

I have an MBA, am a CPA.  I worked for one of those big accounting firms for 10 years, then for healthcare and tech firms for 30 years.  As part of my job, I managed investment portfolios of $200 million plus.

What's your credentials?


Trump used the same tactic when speaking garbage to the Boy Scouts.

And I agree that your ad idea would send a strong message via visual impact.


Jordan uh-hum woyzeck,

Although this must be an embarrassing time, trolling only makes one look more desperate and pathetic.


This from woman that comes from the dirtiest country in the world


Lookatchuoo with all your fancy book learnin'!  Thanks for an informative post and spelling it out so succinctly.


The airbnb bill protected scofflaws and enable tax-cheats to continue their operations in the shadows. Those operators are supposed to pay GET, TAT, State and Federal taxes. The bill would have protected them. The City needs to get after these bad-people.


The PDN repeats everything because they don't what to report other news.
How about a report on why the nets are still in the rivers or how many illegal Criminals have been picked up and put on a bus for the garbage dump (mexico).


Though I never did find her funny this is especially pathetic judgement on Griffins part and I hope CNN parts ways with her. On the other hand, Trump whining about it after his "lock her up" and "knock the hell out of them" bravado? Seems he has a couple of capers where his big boy parts should be.


I'm not a Hawker fan but the dinner was not illegal.  If you don't like it change the law.


Good point.


It's true. People who can find Syria on the map and know which countries border Estonia are not very good at showing respect for people who think Toronto is in Italy. People who know what the derivative of atan is tend not to think highly of people who can't figure out what  percent means. People who know illegal immigrants and are aware that the majority of them came in airplanes and overstayed their visas don't think they have much to learn from people who think building a wall on the Mexican border is going to stop illegal immigration.

We must all practice our polite smiles and straight faces.  Everybody repeat: "White America has taken their country back. America is going to be great again!" and try not to roll your eyes.


"There has been 32 days of laughter at the Pentagon."

Where in the Pentagon is your office located? I forget.....


Ambrose explained her position very well.

In her opinion, Trudeau has written off Northern Gateway for political expediency only and not based on science.

She feels that one of the other pipelines (I forget which) will never get built and that Trudeau knows that, which is why he approved it.


Canada believes in separation of church and state.  Trudeau-duo never recommended separation of mosque and the state.  So technically, Trudeaus are not against Islamic State of Canada.


Because knowledge and perspective achieve a balanced conclusion.   That is why.


You are a dude????? F******g  Awesome. I was thinking...Celeste..or PC Principal?

But, you got a point. And, yes I will happily and with utmost vengeance support the prosecution of said bartender if he was, in fact, dosing coeds with hallucinogenic substances.

But, I still think Josh was speaking the truth as well...


If you want to talk about politicians and religion, let's talk about that picture of Trump yesterday being prayed over by a bunch of evangelicals. Does anyone else find it more than a little coincidental that that picture was released to the public after several days in which Trump was basically in hiding from the public, and during which time frame his White House was in meltdown mode from the news of Donnie, Jr.'s damning email exchange with the Russians? I don't. He was shoring up his ever-loyal evangelical base to make sure that around 88% of them continue to give him high marks while his ratings continue to plummet elsewhere. Since MSW mentioned JFK, Trump could easily borrow JFK's famous line and turn it upside down to go something like this, "Ask not what you can do for religion, but rather what religion can do for you." That basically sums up Donald Trump's relationship to Jesus.


Totally agree Katherine and Snarf  but with a caveat.
Talk of fiscal prudence is always popular in polite company but privately, it seems most voters say "screw the grandkids" if it means getting goodies today.
The Liberals know that and are masters at bribing taxpayers with our own money.
Even the term "Fiscal Responsibility" has been supplanted by "Austerity" which is mean-spirited and just awful dontcha know.
Remains to be seen if the PCs can maneuver around that.


Good luck with that.  Have you ever tried to trace your own paper trail through a banking system?  Not happening.  It is so convoluted that even the authorities give up.  Forensic accountants throw up their hands.  It is the problem of our future banks that are built upon antiquated notions about banking in the past.  They don't work well together.


A 16 year old flipping burgers does not deserve $15hr.  It should motivate them to go to college or trade school.  If you are an adult in a job a 16 YO could do that means you have make some bad choices.


Can't even name one? Stop digging😂


Well there you go, it's the repubs fault in your mind. Fact is the inner city  folks are not better off, the government programs are designed to keep them dependent, generation after generation but of course you cannot see that due to it requiring yourself to look critically at the dem. policies, instead you rely on the talking points (know as spin). Let's take a look at the second part of my question shall we? Are the inner cities better off now then they were 7 years ago? How about the middle class? How about the race relations? Look at facts eric, not just believe what your told to believe. The entire theme of this articular is good loyalist allow themselves to be manipulated by spin doctors.  A large percentage of the population is fed up with both parties. But the dem. leaders don't care about that now do they, they know that despite the facts about their corruption and proven lies the good party loyalist will still reward them with their vote.


Getting rid of "pay to play" politics would be good. However, Prof. Cameron is wrong to suggest that "evidence, in practice,  that minority government works" constitutes an argument in favour of electoral reform. Proportional Representation ("PR") (the electoral system that gets rid of so-called "false majorities") takes away the incentive for disparate groups to work together within a single "large-tent" party, likes the Liberals and the NDP. It rewards people who split away to form their own party. (In the Netherlands election earlier this year, voters were asked to chose from 28 parties listed on the ballots.) The resulting fracturing of the political parties can lead to less, and not more, cooperation among legislators. In 2016, Spain, using a PR system in its national elections,went for 10 months, and two elections, without a duly-constituted government, while various parties squabbled over which party leader should be prime minister. Please, no PR here!


Yes yes well organized " loney wolves "
New flash, wolves work in pack, just as your sickly ilk do.
Children just blown up with a nail bomb, multiple  arrest, hundreds of millions spent on security  and you want to hit the denial button for the 100 the time !!!!
Truly entering the mind of the ragging left is a true exercise in madness.


While it is very tempting to call these Fist Nations chiefs Luddites, I won't.

After all, some people might suggest doing this is uncouth, trite an uncalled for.


No, it's $6500 of hard-earned money, muni bandits coerce out of me, that hits hard.


I can agree with you to a large extent.  Where I suspect we will disagree with President Trump is I see his narcissism as a pertinent fact that must be included in the argumentation.  I can guarantee every global intelligence agency profile makes this same point about Trump.  He can be manipulated very easily precisely because he is a true narcissist.  This assures that no argumentation about his policies can ever be effective with him.  He's not really interested in policy.  He's interested in himself.   The only effective argumentation has to be centered around him.  Even his intelligence staff are now putting his name in every other paragraph because it keeps his interest in reading their briefs.  This is not about politics for me, or wallowing in hatred and loathing.  It's about the fact Donald Trump is unfit and unqualified to hold the presidency and represents the biggest security threat the US now faces.


He could have stopped in California to meet with Governor Brown or he could have gone to Seattle to see Bill Gates and the Starbucks dude. But he came to Alaska. Governor Walker is doing a great job of promoting the state. He deserves credit for that.


Is there any thing government doesn't hire outside consultants for?

I propose hiring a consultancy group (from another state, natch) to look into the hiring of consulters to study consultations.

Or, perhaps, we could just put an online "suggestion box" on the county's webpage.


And now the Putin regime is going after Jehovah's Witnesses. He is really aping Stalin and Hitler more and more every day. When will this KGB clown be gone?


So, Walker decides not to reappoint Board of game member Mumford, then after failing to get Roland Maw on the fish board appoints Mumford to the fish board, who shortly there after decides he wants off the fish board, he then replaces Mumford from the game board with a man who does not get confirmed.  Leaving the board short of its seven members. Fish and Game board politics are very damaging. Walker has found it out ever since he appointed his pal Maw to the fish board who now faces multiple felony counts. His subsequent  fish and game board choices have cost him much political capital with the legislature and will IMO cost him dearly if he chooses to run for a second term.


If most people understood how unstable much of that coast highway is from Florence to Newport they would never do that drive.


You believe in a soul ? If so, what is it ?

My God (the God of the Bible) Converts the Dead into Life, because of his mercy and grace. You CANNOT PROVE A NEGATIVE - I THOUGHT WE AGREED ON THAT, SO WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THIS ?


It would be nice if they told us which studies they were refering to. That would be keeping their readers informed and empowering them.


If you want serious people to take you seriously,  post science articles, not news and political blogs.  Good luck finding real science that supports denier BS.


Weasels.


"Pornography publisher Larry Flynt is offering "up to $10 million" to anyone who produces information that leads to President Donald Trump's impeachment and removal from office."

Now is the time for all the anti-Trumps to produce the 'smoking gun'!

He offered $1 million last year; now he's upping the ante!


True. A properly formed Lutheran conscience or a properly formed Amazonian interior native’s conscience could be formed completely without reference to the Magisterium.


just wanna know ...........is his major ornithology?


Apparently you do not know the history and nature of this fight.


Heat and Power add another $120;  Cell phone and internet were also listed.  I am guessing utilities is probably water, sewer, and other municipal charges for garbage/recycling etc.


Go on Jake, slap the tar-baby one more time. Just don't think that our esteemed judges will be fooled into tossing you into the brier bush when you're done.

It may be agonising that the wheels of justice turn so slowly, but I take comfort in knowing that they continue to turn in the right direction. Better slow and sure than rushed to defeat.

Our judges are the new stalwarts of the continuing struggle for a rational, equitable solution to all the myriad problems facing our beautiful country.

"Let justice prevail, though the heavens may fall"


Apparently you already guessed at that..... Of course they are elected by the majority... that says a lot.


It amazing how many commentors support compensating and apologizing to terrorist and preach about guilty until proven innocent unless it involves Trump, too funny!


Kealoha's arent the only dirty players. The Mayor and city council along with their ethic commissions . Then move to the state. Too much filth. FBI please help clean this aina of white collar crime by public servants.


I recall a story done by the Last Week Tonight that talked about persons who are held in jail due to the inability to post bail. I wonder how many persons in OCCC are currently in the same situation.

Never underestimate the heart of a champion. I think that Mr.Porter and his team have a very good feeling for the digital area. BRAVO.


In some instances this is called due diligence. There are a number of high profile events this summer. There are concerns in this nation about acts of terrorism. If there were to be a tragic event of this sort people would be decrying LTD for not being vigilant. My reading of this article says that LTD is being mindful and watchful of unusual activity. That is to be expected of a publicly funded agency in this day and age. Unfortunate as that is.


Not a realtor at all.  I just have kids trying to rent/renting in the metro Vancouver market.


Well, to counter some other complaints, I didn't find this 'anti male', I'm not even sure HOW it can be 'anti male'.   Like any criticism of Hollywoods product, relying on a few examples doesn't prove a rule. Going back to 'Working Girl'?  What was that, thirty years ago?

    The complaint I'd make is that the author doesn't understand the nature of ambition in cinema.  In drama the 'ambition' is almost always the bad guy or antagonist.  They are the ones with the ambition to  rule the world, blow up the world, enslave the world, etc.  And they come to far worse ends than that mentioned here.  And mens ambition almost always costs them at least their family, if not their soul.  So, just a bad theory.


Pandora, I thought you said you were not going to use the Eliane anymore.


1. The article has nothing to do with Trump.
2. The article is mostly concerned with the result of years of planning or not.
3. Trump is not responsible for what the article covers.
4. The Washington Post along with the NY Times are responsible for almost all of the Trump 'scoops'.


promise to repeal and replace. Seven years neither the party was able to put something forward, and all the debates how he had and would bring in something better and cheaper.


Because it's very easy to launch missiles without thinking through the consequences.  That tactic always works to impress people who don't know anything.


Yet you'll support a criminal! Good for you RIMO!


Would you care to expand your comments on young people everywhere instead of some isolated experiences?


Agree, tear it down.


America is white.  It values white over others.  It promotes whiteness around the world - witness the popularity of skin lightening products in other countries.

What Mr. Trump is doing is not so much about making America white again.  He is revitalizing and validating those people who promote and spread "white supremacy".  There's a difference.


The whole "business plan" of health insurance and HMOs is just that......better treatment means less profit....poorer treatment means greater profit.  The RG referred to the Trillium bonanza as a "windfall".  I'm not sure that's the right phrase.  You can walk through an orchard and pick up the windfalls....fruit which as fallen from the trees...usually with the help of the wind.

May I suggest those who profited from the sale of Trillium had been, over a number of years, shaking the trees pretty hard to dislodge the "fruits of their greed."  They built that massive "reserve", I would suggest, knowing full-well that when they sold the business those reserves would be converted to their personal profit from the sale.  It worked out very well for them.  I could offer many different terms for their gain (all of them unprintable), but I wouldn't call it a "windfall"..that's far too kind.


Why aren't we concerned about American takeovers of Canadian property and landmarks? Given how much more US investment there is in Canada and Canada's economically dependent relationship with the US, American investment worries me a lot more than Chinese investment. At least China offsets the US influence, which is good. But, again, why are we so worked up about China and not the US? Is this just a case of us being inured to the devil we know? If so, we need to get used to the fact that world economic and political power is shifting. Canada is well-positioned to benefit from this.


Doh! Don't pull a Bart Simpson.

Outrageous and illegal conduct in response to the same is usually a bad idea. Rather than stooping to their level go high when they go low.


If the pictures are correct, it won't be humans eating the apples - there is no protection from moose.  In fact, there won't be an apple tree by next spring.  In my yard, they have to be protected with a 8 ft fence and the fence has to be far enough back from the tree, too.  Not sure about the rhubarb, but i know moose eat blueberry bushes.


The feeble Freeland and the vacant Sajjan? Man, only Eco-Barbie was missing from that clown show.


Good.  The NRA and tRump deserve each other.  Blam, blam, blam.  Shoot 'em up, bang 'em up.


Perhaps it is you that doesn't understand.....


The Donald ran on being a populist for the little guy and then stacks his cabinet with Wall St & corporate executive types, the same ones who had a hand in the destruction of the domestic economy, seems Trump Nation has been played yet again.


It doesn't matter if it was before Robert White or before Spiro Agnew - what that cop did was beyond reprehensible. He grabbed a kid talking on a phone, beat him with a steel sap, and then lied despite the video evidence. The police union continued to defend him even though they knew exactly what he'd done. When a cop like Sparks is allowed back on the force, the Denver PD is badly tarnished and makes me (among others) distrust any of them.


Can't believe the limited knowledge of this Article and the Comments.   Unbelievable, not even going to attempt to argue with stupid.


Poor reporting at best, it's common knowledge that while May has publicly support Bombardier the Brits are privately pointing the finger of blame directly at the Canadian government for this mess. Why in the world would any responsible jouro leave that out??


It's not about common sense.  It's about power and jobs.


you should get a pilots license and learn


The optics of enforcing the new EO are not going to be pleasant.  If America was my home and I was willing to defend it with my own blood, then I would shed the blood of others on my way out.
This could get ugly, quick, for a whole lot of people.


Didn't know about Darren Carrington and a whiteface incident.  Kind of a minor parallel to the "hate white people" serial killer in Kansas City.  That has not been hushed up, but it is not exactly being publicized.


forced is the proper wording - because if you refuse to make a choice your comment is not posted..

THIS IS A CONTROLLED BOARD


Senator McCain, listen to Nancy Pelosi who just said that the people don't want to hear criticism of Trump.  If she gets it, with all the wisdom of the years you have, perhaps you can get it as well.
Otherwise, please just shut up.


So it's not that you thought it was a bad book necessarily, but too oppressive and depressing.


I don't understand why there are not at least 3 of these people in Mat-Su Pre Trial over this. At least one pulled the trigger and at least two more were present and assisted in beating poor David, burning his rig and disposing the body.. I imagine these BOP are all pointing the finger at each other now- I don't care, there seems to be more than enough evidence that there were 3 in on monstrous deed.


Discovery Channel, one of the worst things to ever visit and rip off the State of Alaska, paid for these scum who moved here with the intent of "squatting to get free land and collect PFD's"" (direct quote from billy byron brown) to spend their 30 Days in the Baronof Hotel in Juneau, one of the most expensive places in the entire State. I wished to hell I could afford to spend 30 days there complete with room service and pay-for view porn TV...The discovery channel ruined it for the chance that real Movies about Alaska would be filmed in Alaska, instead of Canada.....As the AkLeg cut off all the subsidies for making REAL MOVIES and instead gave the oil companies $700 Million Dollars a year to pump OUR Oil, and gave themselves big raises, because they work so hard for the oil companies, instead of the people of the state of Alaska......


Many such as yourself fantasize of the Reagan years of tax cuts and deregulation but ignore or refuse to recognize the over all damage that was done. During the Reagan era, the U.S. had massive white collar crime supported by congress (Charles Keating and the Keating 5); blatant insider trading on Wall Street; junk bond trading; corporate raiders who took over companies chopped them up, sold the assets then sent the jobs outside the U.S. Multi billion dollar budget deficits.... I could go on and provide you more facts of that economic era but space is limited. Yes Reagan's tax cuts did explode economic growth for the wealthy but not for the average US household. Reagan's economic policies accelerated the decline of the middle class.


Then maybe Drudge Report links?


The Brits were fed up with Brussels pulling their strings, especially over these open borders this is what ticked the Brits off. Britain survived way before the EU came along with their rules and regulations. Don't be an appeaser Mrs. May look back in history . Chamberlain was a coward appeaser. Enough of those in this world.


The two-party dam has now fractured from top to bottom and the water pressure behind the dam is increasing.


"That was Harper - how soon you forget that $170 billion in new debt!"

To quote Mr Bachman......"You ain't seen nothing yet"


trump does seem to identify with those who support and consciously assume the legacy of culture(s) dedicated to "actually killing political foes".

As President of the U.S., some of us want better.

The poor have to be taken care of. We are discussing which is better, private sector (as a possible by Quebec) or the single payer government run system.

I live in an upper end retirement home. I look around and see people who have worked their butts off as you have, or achieved wealth some other way.. I also see Personal Service Workers and waiters who are working their butts off serving us.

Should Canadians get health care and other support based on the results of their work or based on working hard, or based on being Canadian?

I would vote  for  being Canadian. There are relatively few poor people and from them only a small number would cheat. So to make sure no one suffers, I would chose being Canadian. We are a wealthy country.

I hope that Quebec tries health care in the private sector so we can see how it works.


This seems like a constitutional crisis - impossible to find a neutral ruling party.


What a dumb @ss


Harper blew the national debt out of all proportion way before Trudeau came on the scene. Harper had a deficit BEFORE the world economy crashed in 2008 then had 7 straight years of deficits.  The Liberals had 7 years of surplus' before Harper put us in debt. Trudeau's debt is more than he campaigned on but no where near the hole Harper put us in! And oil was above $100/barrel for most of Harpers rule!


Stay out of the state's business, caldwell.....haven't you screwed up enough?......and don't think you're going to be governor ....or anything else for that matter.....your days are over!


I listen to Jesus.  He doesn't.  Nor do you.  Like two willful children who read ambiguity into "Go wash your hands for supper."


Big win for Isis and the taliban.
Our own soldiers who were treated badly and injured are not seeing a $10,000,000 windfall.


Sad anytime a life is lost.  But you have to wonder if there is capital enough in Portland to replace rental units as fast as they appear to be able to burn them in that area.  It is one or more,  almost daily,  and usually multiple  units destroyed by one blaze.  And this at a time when there are few smokers as opposed to say,  forty years ago,  when smoke detectors were few, the building codes less restrictive,  tens of millions fewer dollars spent in awareness campaigns.   The old expression of "beating it like a rented mule" pretty much must explain rental properties.  Renters are not invested and don't have any feelings or inklings of ownership in where they live.  When this one gets too ruined,  stained,  stinky,  unkempt,  unlivable,  just move to another newer and cleaner place.


What's the difference between a good lawyer and a bad one?....nothing.


Baloney David.

It’d be better if you’d explain to readers why the AK Dispatch is so intent to carry the governor’s water on most everything that relates to his administration, including this fiscal plan and the way it’s meandered from the backrooms of the gov’s office through the legislative hallways and beyond.

Could it be that your boss’s conflicts of interests with GCI and Ron Duncan, PT Capital and Andy Mack, and other conflicts in and out of the gov’s office forbids the ‘true’ facts to be published?

Between Dermot Cole and Chuck Wolforth, I don’t know which one is the more egregious in the fabrications they peddle in support of the Walker/Mallott/Whitaker administration and the series of onslaughts on the GOP legislative leadership.

How much more of this can your journalistic ethics and integrity take, man?


"Of course, there was no real scandal in the email controversy"
Except that the Director of the FBI said that there was extreme carelessness in handling classified information by Secretary Clinton which if anyone else had done that he/she would have gone to jail.

What is the difference between gross negligence and extreme carelessness?  Answer: Nothing.  Neither requires intent.


That's no way to talk about your President.


You wouldn't believe him if he cited to a particular poll. I've seen various polls recently that indicate most people want to get rid of the electoral college. It makes perfect sense.


They just need to get the political element out of it.  Step back from the confirmation bias and do some real science.  Likely on a lower budget.


Single payer nationalized healthcare would give our small businesses back the competitive edge in employing people too.  Maybe you Trump supporters should put your money where your mouth is and support small businesses in the USA.  Currently your policies help only multinational oil companies.  Like they were policies created and paid for by multinational oil companies.  Help small business for a change and a less hypocritical existence.


Nice to see you still alive...Must've been something wrong with your internet over the weekend...#MAGA


Gee, I guess you haven't heard about the rise in hate crimes and rhetoric since the election. And guess who's behind it?


In most business the person responsible for such a boneheaded move would be fired as their entire philosophy is flawed. Rule number one the customer comes first and their customer is the cardholder.


Harper..... gone.... but never forgotten.


Despite what they may think of their numbers, numerous polls are now showing that those Sanders supporters who will not support HRC are only about 10% of his base.

These are not insignificant numbers as every vote will count for something this year, but they are far from the huge group they wish to believe they are.  Their insistence on HRC begging them for support and kowtowing to them is less significant with each passing day.

Probably the best example of HRC's termination of surrender talks was the pick of Tim Kaine as her running mate.  If these Sanders holdouts do not see this as the poke in the eye that it is, and that the game is essentially over for them, they are not playing in the realm of reality.

In fact, while it would be great to have all the Sanders supporters on board, there are some who are at the extreme and would just as soon support Trump - these individuals were never part of the election calculus HRC used when determining her chances in the fall.


That non-Liberal government better come soon.  And it had better not be the NDP.


Has Vegas set the over/under on marriage proposals nationwide during the eclipse today? I would put it at 173.


Drumpf lied about calling "Gold Star" families and had to scramble to actually make the calls. It was politically driven as is everything Drumpf does.

"Puerto Rico, etc. -- he doesn't help himself...."

He complained that Puerto Rico was already run down and therefore only deserves a fraction of the resources available to the 50 states. That translates into death and despair. Is it the childrens fault Puerto Rico infrastructure has completely deteriorated?

During the Louisiana floods , Red team cried about them receiving FEMA resources. Yet New Jersey has a little damage and suddenly Christie was on the phone to Obama and got ridiculed for riding on AF1 with the POTUS. Then it really got nasty, why? Because Christie lost his mind and hugged Obama! I assure you, young eyes were being covered all over the Confederacy.

Ted Cruz came hat in hand as well. Florida, all the red states basically take more tax money than they contribute. The blue states make up the difference to help them.


Correct.  As long as we are united by the Roman patriarch of the Orthodox Church, we use Latin.  That is organizational politics, not dogma.


This is a treaty that should have been submitted to the Senate for ratification, and not some half measure helped along by a RINO senator. You did the country a disservice then, Senator Coons, and are trying to do the same now. STFU.


What about the texters? Are we ever going to solve that problem?


There are none so blind as those who will not see.


Funny considering you named yourself after a flaming racist.


plausible deniability...


It's called driving a speed safe for the conditions. The best thing that ever happened was raising the speed limits on the Rich and Glenn to 65. Sorry your Prius runs out of juice to maintain the speed limit. How about you call Big State Logistics and tell them their drivers need glasses or to slow down when it is slick out?


Congrats to Max and Yancy!  And a class act by Coach Rolo to support the local boys.   Hawaii needs to support the UH Football team.


Obviously this is all Harper's fault!


We should take Trump at his word:  This election is rigged.  Wonder how he knew that.  If Republican Wikileaks can hack into the DNC and Hillary's emails, they can hack into the nation's electoral system.  I bet that's what's going on here.  No way rational voters voted for hangdog Trump.


To counter an argument there needs to be a coherent argument to begin with.


Sadly, I agree with your post. That was what made write on this topic. It will be a terrible travesty if this amazing opportunity is ripped from good people of the Big Island because of a smaller group of people full of hate, malice and total disregard for the all the Hawaii people that will be hurt by these actions. As you restated and I had stated, this will have far reaching negative consequences, killing astronomy in Hawaii.  Time can not be reversed, Hawaii is part of the modern world, it can't exist in a time bubble of 1800.  Astronomy is one of the most noble and honorable ways to generate positive economics and Hawaii exists in a world where economics are real, like it or not.


Really, you obviously didn't get it.


...and when this law gets tossed out, watch sovereignty ride high again.


He is the dustbin of history.


I wonder when we're going to rename Kenai?


Re the cost of development.  It would be interesting to see the total expense ledger on this project to date over the many years.  What would be of particular interest would be the expense categories like legal fees, and soft PR donations.  Murdock looks like one happy billionaire!!


The UN refugee agency is being played by anti-Trump media to produce this article.
The people who cross the US southern border are not refugees and blocking them therefor cannot result in more refugee flow to Canada.


A short article but loaded with good observations.  Ironically, short term performance targets will ruin the pension plans that should be focused on very long term horizons.


Another unbelievably biased article picked up by ADN from The NY Times. ADN picks pieces from the liberal mainstream media and publishes them as if Alaskans really care. It is out of touch with Alaskan values and most know it. The paper is in a failure mode and unless it becomes more professional in reporting may not be around very long. I wish the owner would show more balance. It would very likely increase circulation and advertising revenue.
As for The NY Times piece, it only  shows how desperate Obama is in trying to protect his legacy. Very sad that he and the Clinton team cannot accept the results of the election. This continued attack on the  president elect's victory only strengthens the resolve of his supporters.


If they limit tobacco, when will they limit sugar since obesity is on their list of concerns. STOP the government from trying to be our parents. If young people can go off to war, shouldn't they be able to purchase cigarettes without leaving the county in which they live? Save on gas to help stop the traffic jams, air and noise pollution, and let them have their tobacco!


After hearing the verdict, Trudeau immediately sent the defendants $10.5-million dollars in compensation for their troubles.


<<Some of us know that tension between certainty of faith and ambiguity of life as adulthood.>>
This is the crux of the controversies surrounding Pope Francis.  He is calling us to an adult understanding and expression of our faith; his critics, generally, prefer to infantilize that portion of the People of God who are not clerics.
It's worth noting, too, that Weigel's neo-conservative politics trumped his much vaunted loyalty and devotion to Pope John Paul II.  When Pope John Paul, in what as arguably the most courageous act of his pontificate, stood against the gathering storm of an illegal and immoral war in Iraq, Weigel treated the pope with the worst form of contempt: condescension: The pope didn't know what he was talking about, but he couldn't help it: he was too old, too Polish, not well-served by his advisors.


So a ME basket case with horrid human rights record signs up for the Paris "climate-palooza"?

So what?


I don't think this is an accurate description of what happened in Japan, which had far more to do with demographic change than anything else. China is facing the same demographic change, only more severe, so we can expect the Chinese economy to slowdown and turn inward in the next 20-30 years. Bombardier of course may be long gone. The real solution is for Canada to invest a lot more in transit and to be more innovative. Even then, it will be a tough slog and will require commitment and excellent management.


I'm all for letting them fight their own battles.

Sounds like she did the right things in soliciting the opinion of the C.A.  Jenny Madkour. Did WW contact her and ask for a statement?


“...We have heard an increase of fear and concern among community members and local agencies about how the community is experiencing this moment..." How sad, yet accurately predicted in "The Myths Surrounding a Post-Racial America," Specifically: 1. "...While referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “Who? Pocahontas?...Pocahontas?...Oh, I’m very sorry about that...Pocahontas."—Donald Trump (1), 2. "...Irrespective of epoch, or authors' country of origin, American history is littered with abundant examples of reprehensibly demeaning treatments of persons of color as "Others”. (2), 3. "...Steinlight’s The Jewish Stake in America’s Changing Demography:  Reconsidering a Misguided Immigration Policy, trots out thought police; genuflecting to extreme incarnations of multiculturalism; unconscious internalization; & being guilt tripped into validating identity politics that masquerade as pluralism tropes."

CL, As you point out, the courts decide  ultimate "constitutionality", not the legislature or the executive.  Regardless of the issue, with an initiative you get one shot to word your law to pass this judicial scrutiny.  Given an issue as complex as this, your chances of accomplishing that are about the same as a snowball in you know where. Now we have just spent another $1 million on this exercise in futility.  Also, the legislature and executive branches are often keen to erode this petition power as was seen in the Cruise Ship Initiative (another attempt to repair a watch with a sledgehammer). Perhaps this same fate awaits Ballot Measure 1 which by consolidating and merging government data bases might be seen as a violation of the Constitutional right to privacy granted  to Alaskans in Article 1 Section 22 (Right to Privacy) of the State Constitution.


If you are going to get married, or as the leftists would say co-habituate, you have to take the good with the bad. Often times people forget this!


If Israel had to rely on a human rights platform, it would not have come into existence in the first place as war with your sworn enemies and detractors has nothing to do with human rights i.e nice guys finish last or don't finish at all. The attacks on Israel's existence throughout the years is further evidence of this. And as to you final thought, there may be a tradition of Jewish atheism but it has nothing to do with Judaism whose central theme is God and Torah. In fact, without being born to a Jewish mother, how could you tell that these atheists are even Jewish. No connection to the central precepts of Judaism. No observance or practices even remotely connected to Judaism. A complete accident of birth without any further relationship, practices, observances of Judaism.


I am not a user of cannabis products.
But it annoys me the distain which the current government uses when it describes users. They are using a product which is safer that my recreational product (Argentinian Malbec), and results in less street violence, domestic dispute etc. That alone should be the reason to legalize it. To leave to themselves adult taxpaying citizens whom have different recreational pursuits than the mainstream.
The whole " we must save the children" is obviously an over wrought talking point. The more they use it instead of the real reason the more duplicitous they appear.


Yes, we heard your silly interpretation of the 2nd Amendment that nobody in the Supreme Court agrees with.  We can't find any historical documents, neither in the ratification debates, nor the Federalist Papers, nor anything that would even remotely support your particular interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.  "Well regulated" does not mean what you think it means in the context of the United States Constitution.  The word "regulation" means something different today than it did back then before there was a massive permanent bureaucratic state.  Hell, the word "militia" doesn't even mean the same thing.  That just meant basically anyone who could be conscripted to fight a war or fight the Indians or capture runaway slaves.

They were not the National Guard by any stretch of the imagination.  The 2nd Amendment was SPECIFICALLY designed as a check against a standing army.  The perceived threat was that the national army would be used to tyrannize the people.


Some people just need to chill out. Why bring up something that happened years ago? Because of what's going on today you idiots want to dissect on what happened in the past? You idiots are reaching and I mean reaching for something that means nothing. If Janet was a white woman and her right breast was revealed nothing would change. The press would write up the same thing. There are some idiots that still need to evolve.


Bernie Sanders is running as a democrat are Bernie Sanders so caught up in the 'bern' they don't understand that if they don't vote democrat for whoever is nominated the GOP neanderthals will continue to run this country into a middle class money rut we'll never get out of and they will set us back 100 years regarding social issues.  Come-on vote democrat is you plan on surviving and benefiting from democratic policies.


Biodiversity is mostly a bunch of  propaganda goop aimed to put limits on human harvest of wildlife resources to that wealthy Westerners can "view" them in an outdoor zoo off limits to traditional use.  There is little real unaltered science to support it as the earth it almost totally altered and changed by human activity.  Mono cultures are the norm on most of the planet for many years now.  In the 3rd world there is little bio mass near human overpopulation because the humans are forced to consume it all.  Humans there are being actually forced to have less food resources because of western bio meddlers with their mentalities formed and honed by the likes of Ranger Ricks.  Humans are actually suffering there because of the "golden calf " wildlife biology mind set that has infected mostly urban bio university departments.  I get sick when I see westerners with their Green Peace whaling criminal enforcement ships harassing Japanese whalers.


On a serious note

look up banning cash worldwide.

This very serious effort to ban cash has tremendous implications for all. The hunt for taxes is now taking a new form as government who are so broke they cant even pay their public salaries without debt are seeking to do an India in their country.

Don;t believe the nonsense that the criminals are the only ones using cash. They are attacking everyone.

Best know about it. November 2017 is apparently when this starts.


Why don't you just state your response without hiding behind a web site?


I can see a populous revolt coming as energy and other cost of living continue to inflate while wages remain stagnant for much of the unwashed masses.


That is absolute BULLSHIT about being a gun "owner" simply because you steal a gun!

Halloween is coming, if I dress as a Doctor can I operate on you?

Stealing a Ferrari and riding around doesn't mean I own the car! It simply means I stole the car!

If I break into your house does that make me a joint homeowner with you?
You never answered my question - have you ever taken pills of any kind for a headache or medicine for being sick? The you are a drug user and if you shared any aspirin the you are a drug dealer.


"Name one person that has ever, ever, supported white supremesit's"

I'll name more than one person who's supported white supremacists:

Pocho.  hawaiikone.  JSwr.  Donald Trump.  David Duke.  Sean Hannity.  Tucker Carlson.  Mark Fuhrman.  Walter Dillingham.  Grace Fortescue.  Robert E. Lee.  Stonewall Jackson.  Adolf Hitler.


Art - Israel was created by the UN, and had a right to exist.
The Arabs, like yourself, hate the Jews and attacked Israel in several wars - all started by Arab countries and often aided by the U.S.S.R.
9/11 was the reason Afghanistan was attacked and that would have been a success had Bush not pulled the majority of forces out to fight the Iraqi war.
You're appeasement strategy for Muslim countries is factually incorrect as ISIL has publicly stated that it will war with the West until it conquers it and sets up a world caliphate state to enslave everyone.
Perhaps, if it does, you can get a job herding us into rail cars to go to "re-education camps"? I know you'd be happier.


EEK.... I better start making more credit card payments!


Russian car wrecks, and road rage incidents, for a couple.  In Russia, they step out with guns and ventilate the radiators of horn-honkers.  They chase bears with clubs.  Pedestrians make the sign of the cross, before they venture to cross a busy street.  Drunks crawl across busy intersections.  Better than any American sit-com.


Hillary needs to put up or shut up. She needs to release details before she earns my vote. It doesn't come free. Even then, it only comes unindicted. Otherwise...and probably I will vote against her. NOt for Jill Stein, or anyone else. Against HER. Trump is a fool - a fool who will likely get my vote unless Hillary pulls her head out and starts speaking in a substantive way. The scare tactics don't work with Independents. We don't care for either party. Show us what you got. As it is, both are just a nothingburger. One isn't being questioned by the FBI. That is literally the difference between the two. The clock is ticking Hillary. Tick Tock.


The science on this stuff is pretty new and far from settled. Even Dr. Soh hedges by writing "research _suggests_" -- and then, bafflingly, makes strong claims about human male behavior based on the conclusions of a review on _rodent_ studies (see her link):

"Available data from rats, mice, and ferrets point to the importance of perinatal exposure to steroid hormones in the development of partner preferences, as well as the importance of activational effects in adulthood."

"Additional paradigms that address these questions are needed for better understanding of partner preferences in rodents."

By all means, let's continue the research .. but in the meantime, if the G&M is going to have Dr. Soh making strident claims on the basis of her expertise in the field, she should be able to provide better citations than these.


Stay inside your bubble, Johann! You are delusional to the Nth degree!


Or on budget flights straight to the origin of the crisis: Berlin. Angie'll be at the Flughafen with teddies.


It's about time Caldwell starts doing his job clearing the streets of these lawless vagrants!  They are lawbreakers who's found a way to defeat the system, park their camps on any public area they choose, and terrorize the citizens who are following the law.  He ties the hands of the police with his political agenda and only takes action when his business friends complain about the tourist dollars getting thin.  Homelessness would not be such a problem if city/state just lets the police enforce the laws we currently have in place!


This isn't about all the transfer stations.  They just need to be included.  Commissioner Leiken is the former Mayor of Springfield, his protégé, Mayor Lundberg, is the current Mayor.  Can you say Glenwood!!  The city, the chamber are all onboard.

I know, let us cut oil taxes AGAIN. Think of all the jobs that will create!

In my experience, Hwys 400 and 11 are full of jockeying and impatient drivers until you get north of Gravenhurst, then it becomes quite civilized.  Something about the Toronto influence, I think.

If the NDP's new strategy is to morph into an unrecognizable doppleganger of their former selves they will surely be relegated to opposition into the foreseeable future - the electorate just won't vote for a party if unsure that they're being genuine and not just pandering to a particular flavour of the day.

The party's core principles, as expounded by Layton and Mulcair were reasonable and fundamentally sound but missing in action during the last election was the sizzle that sells the steak. No doubt a new, more charismatic leader could prove all the difference but they would still prove themselves wise to build any future success on the shoulders of their hard earned past success.


The headline says  "Famous singer......"   Who is Joy Villa?  I never heard of her!


We should be more cocerned by the "alt-Left" which is taking over the Democratic Party.  Identity politics is a central feature of that party and their welcome to the Black Lives Matter groups (including iinvitations to the White House) are of concern.


Yes. Abuse cases should be handled locally. Oh, a report should be sent to Rome, and possible appeals go there, but there is no reason for the CDF to adjudicate every case.

Of course, this is assuming that the bishops care to act. If it can be shown that a bishop did not act to deal with a sexually abusive priest, the civil authorities should go after the priest under the sexual assault laws, with the bishop being charged as accessory after the fact.


That's exactly the problem.  This administration doesn't think.  Their motto is "Ready. Fire. Aim."
Just when you think this State and its politicians can't get any dumber, they will surprise you.


She needs to remain in prison for the rest of her life. She stabbed a helpless woman 14 times!


Tory is lying through his teeth to sell this, the revenue numbers change daily, depending who he's trying to sell.
Why is nobody asking the hard questions,

What is going to cost to setup
What is it going to cost to administer
What is it going to cost to maintain

Based on the $5 billion over 30yrs  Tory is going to need over 9500 cars per/hour to pass toll gates
Good luck with that John,

Property taxes are the way to go, the administration is already there, and there is no setup costs and no maintenance.

You do understand we're discussing the Knights, not Burke, right?

We can safely assume that Raymond Cardinal Burke is under  “the Pope’s authority”.

Any idea how the Knights - a sovereign - came under “the Pope’s authority”?

Is there some reason why Bannon, "alt-right", a "plot to depose" of the Holy Father, and Russians suddenly appeared in the discussion?

Know that I understand that you believe that the vote of a waitress in California is worthless when compared to the vote of a waitress in Wyoming, and that the vote of the longshoreman in New York should count for less than the vote of the carpenter in Kansas, simply because of geography...because of arbitrary lines on a map (and your hateful opinion of people who populate certain states in our Nation).  I'm sorry that I disagree with you.  EVERY American's vote should be counted equally, regardless of where they live...where they were born, or where the winds of providence have taken them to find their living.
I don't want to EVER read you accuse Liberals of dividing our Nation.  I don't want to ever read you accuse Liberals of bias.  You wade so deeply in both.


So, among religions (faiths), which do you prefer?

Is Islam the best? Should all Canadians convert to Islam and follow the hadiths and the verses in the Qur'an?


It should not be lost on attuned readership that ‘every square mile’ of land in every state of the Union has some sort of ‘religious, cultural or sacred’ ties to U.S./State citizens with “Indian ancestry/race” who chronically insert themselves into any business or environment issues they don’t like citing “Indian tribal sacred lands!”  This uproar results in what?  The brawl on the oil pipeline is the most recent.

"White House informing allies Trump will abandon climate pact"

--

Trump just bet the US future on the equivalent of the buggy whip manufacturing industry.

More Americans work in the sustainable energy field than work in the oil, gas and coal industries.

He's acceded the future of energy production technology to non-American entrepreneurial enterprises, primarily Chinese.

This is even stupider than his decision to pull out of TPP, in which he conceded economic leadership of the Pacific region to China.

You couldn't intentionally make up a set of policies this dumb if you put all your resources into it.

How long can the Trumpenproletariat continue to be conned by this grifter?

Where's the Washington Post or NY Times investigative journalists to tell us what is going in the Bronco minds in the locker room? Something cancerous is forming and we don't know what it is. Find some anonymous players to speak off the record. Better to get it out now than wait. The season's over, so lets look to next year. Has Elway taken any responsibility for his blunders? Or is he unable to do that like another powerful buffoon we read about daily. Elway is a big fan of the POTUS. Is that affecting the players? I know that would affect me as a player, and I'm white. Let's get to the bottom of this Kiz. It's on you to tell Elway he sucks and Denver fans are taking notice of his true abilities as a GM...I think it would be fun to see what Kap could do. It would be one hell of a circus with the press, but what the hell, bring him in! Does anybody really think that kind of distraction could make things any worse? Just Do it Elway! Be a leader! You shouldn't care how anybody reacts!


And the fake whitewash begins, before the next election....

But it's not going to work. The party is still full of Harperites. Canadians remember.

In fact, the messes the CPC created are ongoing, from the massive debt to Phoenix to military procurement to... Mike Duffy...

The divisive, negative and incompetent CPC does not deserve power.


Ontario is already bankrupt, holding the title of the world's largest sub-sovereign debt, so this is nothing more than a way to win some potential seats with our money again.  Shame on this excuse for a leader.


Kahuku enjoy playing anybody and don't recruit, players comes home to play for pride for their family and the school their parents went to. We have kids that grew up on the North Shore that got recruited which is their choice and we the people of Kahuku understand and wish them well. Bottom line Kahuku just want to play football at any level.


Really, R.D.?  You say that to be healthy a parish should have a Mass before 8:30am.  When did Jesus mandate that?  In the Gospel Jesus says, "Do this in remembrance of me," at the Last Supper; not the Last Breakfast.


In other words,,,,,,,,,,,,they are proud of themselves for saying something but doing nothing for the earth.


Paul, you are just repeating talking points, find the truth, I predict a huge swing away from the dem. party with the inner city voters, all citizens. Folks are getting fed up with being used and taken for granted, although there are still those who refuse to open their minds and look at results, preferring to just fall lock step in with hollow words spoken from their party leaders.

 “What am I supposed to do if I don’t like him and I don’t trust her?” a millennial black woman in Ohio asked. “Choose between being stabbed and being shot? No way!”

“She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail,” a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton.

“He’s a racist, and she is a liar, so really what’s the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?” another young black woman from Ohio said.


The Donald will just issue an order re-opening what oboingo closed. Simple.


Pushed off the pages by the Khadr story is the fact that over 200 criminal cases in Canada have been dropped and alleged murderers, rapists etc have been set free. This was due to a Supreme Court ruling. The victims in these crimes have had their rights violated, but no apology from the government is forthcoming, nor is any financial compensation coming for their suffering and the wrong that has been done to them. If only the people that were so quick to rally around Khadr and wrap themselves in the Charter of Rights, would be as quick to support those who have had justice denied Then there are the wounded veterans, physically and mentally who have to fight for dollars, while the government doles out millions.  If this is a government of sunny ways, I'd hate to see what the dark days would look like.


It is the size of the incentive that is the problem.


What false statements has Allie made about our wonderful president who is looking to dump his attorney general because he followed the law?  The Donald is not only reckless and ignorant but is incredibly stupid to think that he can just fire people with no consequences.  The Donald must have been in a coma when Nixon was president.

Maybe Allie will release her birth certificate when the Donald releases his tax returns?  What is he hiding?  Aren't you just a bit curious?


You are an echo chamber without substance or proof of anything. All you want to do is flip my words and act superior. Why even bother posting?


Oh so you now proclaim ignorance of the law.  Consider killing.  Pre-meditated murder, manslaughter, negligent homocide, etc. etc.  Criminal mischief I, II, III, etc.  Most crimes are differentiated in terms of severity and degree.  You are the one who says rape is no big deal.  You are desperate to put those words in my mouth.  Fact is, rape is not a single thing.  Sex is not a single thing.  The same physical acts (sexual acts) can be pleasurable with a lover  or torture under duress.  The complexity is profound.  Intelligent people must analyze to determine severity.  In my world view, murder is the ultimate crime.  The ultimate violation.  For you, it is apparently rape.

I think you are very much women hating because you reduce them to helpless victim machines preyed upon by the male.  Such a characterization is demeaning beyond all understanding.  To say that women should not examine actions for likelihood of negative consequence, condemns many to profound injury.  Evil you are


It is there in black and white.

"Indeed, benchmark GTA prices posted their biggest monthly decline in 17 years of history, down 4.6% in July alone, leaving the year-over-year rate at ‘just’ 18.1%”


Researchers, putting more people in jail for longer periods of time isn't going to stop crime.  It hasn't worked in the past and it isn't going to work in the future.  If it did then the US would have the lowest crime rate in the world since we incarcerate more people per capita than any other country.

We need to find solutions that work because what we now do isn't working.


They do recruit here. I just graduated from high school this last May and companies like Alaska Railroad and Princess would send information about employment to the schools to be announced to the student body. Not to mention, there are plenty of job and career days available at the high school and collegiate level locally. Alaskans students just don't reply at the same rate as the J1 students.


We need the housing and space for TODAYS needs.

What's with these annoying questions about responses to postings? You can't turn them off and you cant post unless you respond. That's disrespecting the poster if not downright abuse.


Not going to work. A small percentage will survive and become poison-resistant. they then multiply. Remember rodents are nocturnal and mongooses are diurnal. Best to save your money and do nothing. Birds can go elsewhere and lay their eggs and no humans are going to live there. Do nothing.


Contempt... That sounds like a charge for the trespassers and their attorney.


There are a lot of absolutely unfair proposals on the table.  For example, there are some elderly (age 70 or more) who are perfectly healthy but they can be charged 5X as much for insurance.  On the other hand, if someone is sick why charge them a lot more.  That undermines the whole system. In fact, just about everything coming out of Republicans' mouths is nonsense and unworkable, designed only to benefit rich people.  I hated the ACA, but this new proposal without moderation is going to be a disaster.


You are right, his constituents are Democrats.


Better Tesla than a "Grow"


is that shallow "vessel" or "weasel"?


The cops and the crowns need to stop overcharging and stop pursuing weak cases.  The legislatures need to eliminate technical and nitpicking offenses and 'crimes' enacted to help corporations rape us.  Governments need to properly fund the justice and corrections systems.


"Miami's Wynwood Walls cannot be replicated by governments using tax dollars."

It seems the writer has never heard of the Philly Mural Project, funded with public dollars, and the largest and most successful mural program in the world.


Ive been around hate speach and bigotry many times, including having it directed at myself.

The MAX killing should be about the real crime, the brutal killing of two innocent people and serious wounding of the third, not the killers deranged slurs.

Ever seen anyone's throat cut? Way worse and way more shocking than words.


There is a fine lone between stubborn and stupid. Without meeting the federal standards there is a real chance many Alaskans will no longer be able to travel out get to work.  Since the majority of the States have already complied it it very unlikely Alaska will win this battle.


Oh.  Not to mention we can build road  with our own contractors and labor.  Not send billions overseas for Italy's substandard cars, or CA's substandard "Experts", "Consultants" and "Systems Gurus".


The mills had a policy of "sustained yield" where you grew enough trees to replace the ones you used.  Ever hear of it?  Then the environmentalists got into the picture, trying to lock up the forests.  Here was the choice - log and recover your investment or lose it.  What would you have done?


If this ethically challenged former legislator believed he would be  influenced by campaign donations,  he could have imposed his own restrictions on the amount of campaign donation he would accept.  He has no right to advocate for others to lose their free speech rights.  Self imposed restrictions have never been banned.  He is attempting to regulate the choices of others.


LOL...the phrase means the gun is prepared to fire...it's not a sequence.  Trump might think it is, though...


Wah wah wah.  People intentionally built on, and used, public land without permission.  I doubt they acquired any adverse possession rights - they were trespassers.  I also doubt any of these folks reeeeealy tried to determine title through surveys, etc.; they just grabbed what they wanted.

Now it's time to clear the road.  Move your fences and docks - stealing property from everyone else is frowned upon.


Be fair and honest, Patrick....would you have accepted, "Is this Guy kidding..." from a woman who had just read "Humanae Vitae"?


you forgot the wars in the mid-east... and the financial meltdown that ruined the lives of hundreds of millions of americans.. but i guess now you will tell me it was clinton's and obama's doings.. not the Bush/Cheney Family... hahaha.. you funny person.. you chinese?


Zingers:  Google why Flynn worked for Obama for ONLY 2 years.


Vietnam and it's aftermath "Doonesbury?" Brilliant!


funny how all other oil producing nations are falling all over themselves in disagreement with you, but hey, you're the expert.

Normally, falling demand for a product would be indicative of 'no future" for that product, you wouldn't by any chance  happen to know how oil demand has been headed do you?


The Caring Place DONKEY Sanctuary? Huh? Donkeys need sanctuaries? In Eugene?


you have Tony pegged to a T, LOL!~


Instead of buying American, we could buy 100+ Saab JAS-39E Gripens and Gotland class submarines to replace our very old and very useless submarine fleet from Sweden. Saab is willing to provide 100% industrial offset benefits with domestic manufacturing. Not sure about the Gotland class subs, but I'm sure we could negotiate something.


The one and only expression of sympathy you have ever expressed is in the post which I said was "bull".  You are clearly incapable of expressing sympathy, just as you are incapable of denouncing racism. Since you are a demonstrated and unrepentant liar. it appears that your saying you sympathize is just one more of your lies. Instead you give us pietistic platitudes.

You are a fraud, RD. You lie, you show us constant arrogance, pretending you are better than us, you refuse to say that racism is wrong, you object to showing sympathy. You pretend to be a hyper-Christian, but you back this pretense up with mouthings that you undoubtedly plagiarize from your Opus Dei guru.


Those who deserve to die, die the death that they deserve.  Clearly, this guy deserved to die.

So why be so upset?   He earned this kind of death.   It was simply his own Karma coming back at him.

You should celebrate death.  It comes at the end of everyone's life.   Death is the natural way of life on this planet.


Forbes:
"2012, the Eric Trump Foundation wrote a check for $25,000 to the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts. That same year, George Rodrigue, who had said that his famous "blue dog" paintings sometimes sold for about $25,000, created a portrait of Donald Trump for the auction at Eric's event. That portrait ended up hanging over the couch in Eric Trump's house, where he was photographed sitting beneath it two years later."


The crazy potus poking the crazy kim jong un just might be a way to distract all of us from his many other problems.  After all, nothing really new was happening in north korea.  Just the usual bluster from kim, which could easily have been ignored.  Sanctions could have been imposed for the missile tests without all the saber rattling and threats by trump and pence, which set off the korean crazy.  This escalation of words is totally unnecessary and dangerous.


If a homeowner has an exchange student living in the house for a semester, do you think that homeowner be subject to the TAT?


Dumbest travel company ever! I don't need to be traveling to places where I need government-assigned escort.


Because this logic makes no sense. Waiting a year, or more, just delays the inevitable: a year later, the buildings are still old and still need to be fixed and it still costs money.  Are they getting less old during that year? So kids spent another year in a dilapidated structure, and for what benefit? It wastes the time and energy of the district to continue to keep this open.  It's 2016, do we really need to see a successfully closed project at one school to know how to fix another school?  "Instant gratification" - that is comical. What has been instant about this process?


I remember a time when you could expect a Liberal government to stand with people trying to shrug off the yoke of an entitled kleptocrat class rather than siding with multinationals and the US deep state.
I don't  think  even Harper would have been such a toady as Trudeau and nutsy Freeland are.


"leftoid", very classy Layla.


Absolutely! I worked in banking, and it was shocking how few people have any idea how even basic borrowing products work.


Waterloo

Don't know where you get your info, but I wrote my Interprovincial two days after Ivwrote my provincial TQ.  It didn't take an extra year.

Second, I live in my own home. I very rarely stay in camp although occasionally it does happen.  And I don't live in Alberta.


Outbid how?
With a 75 cent Canadian dollar and huge Canadian taxes?
In your dreams, buddy.


That's telling him Andi. Two thumbs up for you.


I'm sure the year palin issued the extra pmt got a lot of attn. But you can't meet requirements on short notice.
Over the years there seems to be a few changes I don't support at all:
We penalize lawbreakers-good.
We have seemingly lax reasoning for military members. I find these fraudulent abusers far more likely than people moving to AK for a few bucks. Thank you for your service, but why would Alaska make extra efforts to make pmt for time you aren't here? That's weird to me. I feel the same about students. Sorry, great you are getting an education and all, but... This probably seems harsh on both accounts, but it's the incentive for fraud that bothers me.
Unless you are born here and meet the prior year eligibility I think it should be 2yrs+, not one. That would eliminate any risk of short term movement for a payout.
I don't like the tie in to voting or charitable contributions either.
CW-thank you for your contributions to our local issues. Always appreciated.


They always try, then locals squeal on them. Troy Barboza, officer that was killed because he bought drugs from 2 gang bangers from San Diego. Both got caught because they were trying to "muscle in" on local action. Tony Williams was the shooter, still locked up. His best friend and partner squealed on him, went into the witness protection program. Sad thing was, his partner was the one that planted the seed, go kill Barboza. OC guys turned them in.


She fits right in down there in Juneau


Homo sapiens are defined as wise men.  By some strange bit of luck we can think.  Now that's a novel idea.  Imagine...little ole' me thinking for myself.  This kind and gentle man is not going to define my life.  That is for me to do. The decent man is not god.  The closet thing that I know about god is me.  I think.. therefore, I am.  Some people want to play god with my life.  Not a chance.  I go when I chose, at my convenience, causing little or no disruption to my family and friend.  Won't be needing assistance.  But thanks anyway.  Very generous of you to decide when I die.  I have had the opportunity to have relatives in hospice care. Wonderful service.


You stated that it was not the Dems that started the KKK.  I just corrected your fake facts.  Instead of admitting your error, you just attack me as having a learning disability.  You're not a democrat?  You should be.  You would fit in perfectly.


What a self centered idiot. Trump did not get elected because of fake news. He is not responsible for Trump getting elected, Obama is. OMG I was going to vote for Hillary but if the Amish are for Trump I better jump on that bandwagon. How does posting fake news stories like "I wrote a lot of crazy anti-Muslim stuff – like about Trump wanting to put badges on Muslims, or not allowing them in the airport, or making them stand in their own line" help to get Trump elected. How do we know he is telling the truth now? If you get your news from Facebook you are an idiot.


Time will tell but currently I see no substantial market for current host of ev offerings.


If the perp had escaped with the money we nor the police would not know what kind of "man" to look for.


The words "good, financial, practices, Catholic, church" should not be uses ins the same universe.


I suggest we get away from the idea that health care is for "them" but paid for by "us". Why? because "us", the ones who pay, will inevitably, with old age, become "them" for younger people. We don't live in a vacuum people, where "I got mine" makes any sort of sense. You "got yours" with the help of everyone else, whether you're selling frankfurters out of a lunch wagon or building skyscrapers in New York, or making a killing on hedge fund trading, like Robert Mercer, the billionaire who bought the presidency for Donald Trump, the TV actor. Without the work of others we would all be in effect stranded alone on a desert island with one cocoanut tree and sharks circling.

So, we pay into the health care apparatus, and when our turn comes, we reap what we have sown.


"There have been steps taken by Pope Francis that at least reduce the many ways in which women in the church (as religious and as faithful Catholics) have been silenced, ostracized, deliberately not looked at, kept behind a veil as surely as a woman in a full hijab."

Really?  Has that changed anything?  Not that I have seen.  When he was making that a speech about women the photos were of him and only men.  If he believed his own words he must start where he lives.  Are we still waiting a thousand years from now?  Probably, if the Catholic church imploded and women went to Woman-church.  Even the Jews have women rabies and a woman who  is Orthodox and she copies the scroll, the first woman to do that in over three thousand year.  They have done something about the integration of women.  We don't have women priests or deacons.  And I have not heard about a woman updating the New Testament.  Note:  Women still have to wear hijabs.


Yes, worker.  I don't want to pay for the lazy people in the state.  The disable and elderly are a small minority of the non workers.  Most live in places with no jobs and complain about not getting enough free service.  But I'm not worried, we out number you and the PDF will go away before taxes start.


It's right wing bologna. Colorado, which is run by big Oil & Gas is a worse example than California.


Militias are military organizations that are separate from standing armies; they are raised from the citizen population. I don't know of any currently organized militias in Oregon, but I guess there could be one.

Do you require further education on this subject?


Under some conditions, recent research suggests that the Aluminum used in some vaccinations may have the potential to cause a kind of brain inflammation that contributes to Autism Spectrum Disorder. Conditions and circumstances may need to align in a very specific way, but when they do, the paper suggests they have discovered what biological process can occur to create the problem. It seems to merit further study and could explain a lot.


"Tragically, this will also be responsible for the implosion of one of Africa’s oldest liberation movements."
I cannot agree that the implosion will be a "tragedy".  It will be  a blessing.


So? since three people got sickened someone is going to try and remove one of the only good natural controls that there is for these things?  The only other large scale control is when they starve themselves out,  Talk about human interference this ought to really screw with the path of nature,  We will go from 1000's  to Millions of them and some dumbass will still think they are endangered?


There was a great story that appeared a number of years ago in relation to the urban wildlife of Toronto. A number of raccoons were trapped, and it was decided to relocate them many miles outside of Toronto in a more rural environment. As part of the experiment they were all fastened with radio collars for tracking. It turns out that the raccoons wanted no part of rural life, and were recorded moving steadily away from a rural setting and continuing moving until they reached an urban setting.
 In a similar story, bears that came into the townsite of Jasper were routinely tranquillized and taken many miles back into the wilderness and tagged. The bears returned and were recaptured and taken even farther away. It took them longer to get back, but back they came. Unlike raccoons and other small urban wildlife, the repeat performance by the bear, ended up in its demise. Wildlife adapts to its environment, and in the case of raccoons , there are probably more in urban areas, then rural.


I'm a little confused. I thought that these same people who are protesting Trump are opposed to the political establishment. And they thought Hillary would have been a viable alternative to Trump?
Trump is the next best thing to Bernie. Put on your thinking cap guys (and gals).


This will be one of the most interesting Democratic Party conventions in recent history.


Alcohol and Tobacco consumption are linked to thousands of deaths a year; marijuana is linked to none.

Besides, if you don't want to smoke it, there are ingestible ways: I like the jelly bomb myself.


A trillion times worse is:

"If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. "


I'm sure you weren't listing me in your criticism of the 'many' or suggesting that I wasn't willing to understand.


If the global economy has shifted why are we subsidizing Bombardier's airplanes?  Don't they run on fossil fuels?  Its an obsolete industry.   Could you show me a link to the new cargo ships that are being manufactured to run without fossil fuels.  How about the locomotive engines for all the trains.  How about heavy equipment for construction and agriculture and mining?  Are plastics being made without fossil fuels?  Worldwide oil demand has increased every year except for one(after the 2008 crash)  If you think petroleum is no longer necessary then walk the walk; lets shut down Vancouver Airport.  Shut down the ferries.


I'm not minimizing anything, at least not anymore than anyone else may be exaggerating the situation. To be sure, legitimate issues need addressed, but jumping on the bandwagon movement, only because you think someone gave you oogly-eyes, simply dilutes the seriousness of the REAL problem.

Stupidity is circumstantial, and I will be the first to admit that I can exhibit that trait from time to time. I witness it with significantly more frequency, however. If you're naive enough to think the "woman card" does not get played, then no explanation of my "pretty" comment will help you understand the issue with this "movement."

Mansplaining completed...


History doesn't make the "traitorous" distinction with these people, either. No one... not Jefferson Davis, not Robert E. Lee, not even the despicable Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the KKK... NO ONE who served the Confederacy was ever tried for treason, let alone convicted. Seems they were far more forgiving in their time than we are in ours. In point of fact, everyone who served in the Army of the Confederacy was granted recognition as *US* VETERANS by an act of Congress in 1957.

In the mid-19th Century, allegiance to State, be it North or South, was far more compelling than allegiance to country. Lee served the United States with great fealty, but when his home state of Virginia chose secession, he felt honor bound to follow. That was the way of the times, and it illustrates the foolishness of judging historical figures by contemporary standards.


Thank you Lynne for your comment
Yes Lynne, sadly the Star of David is used by some to mark out Jews for persecution, even today, so what you say is correct and this has often come about through bigotry and envy due to their giftedness as a race, and success in commerce and the arts.
You seemed to have missed point in that the Star of David does not confront evil, as does the sacrificial image of the Cross that bears witness to the serving of the truth by Jesus Christ be-fore our Fathers inviolate Word (Will) as the image of the cross confronts evil, and in doing so often antagonizes the sensibilities of innate knowledge known within the human heart.
I hope this helps you, if not say so, and I will try again.
I was hoping someone would have commented on the type of Christmas cards they send or receive.

actually Pence won because he was not obnoxious like Kaine

who interrupted constantly with his high pitched unmasculine voice

compared to Pence who was a gentleman you could swoon over much like those who swoon for Justin


"Hawaii’s labor force, which includes people who are employed, those who are unemployed but actively seeking work, and those who are self-employed, fell last month to 690,400 from 693,250 in July."

Again, STOP talking about unemployment rate and START talking about employment PARTICIPATION rate.  The difference in the figures above could indicate 3,000 more people who have settled into their entitlement lifestyles and are now just sitting at home.


Hi! Jay thank you for your comment

The true image of Divine Mercy is a reflection of our inner self, in our own Brokenness/sin/frailty before God, and the message that is manifest, calls out to those in deep sin who cannot receive the sacrament of reconciliation to place their trust in His Divine Mercy.
So that when these words which have been given by Him are said publicly, with sincerity of heart, before this reflective image of their inner self

 “Jesus I trust in thee”

at that moment in time they are made clean before Him.

Yes very true we are all sinners called to repent (Change Direction) and in knowing this would we not delight in encouraging our brothers and sisters to change direction also, especially those who are entangled in a sinful situation.
Eventually we will all have to stand before God and give account for ourselves, He cannot be deceived and only He knows who is clean (sincere) before Him.

I don't believe everything management tells me. How could they have known the young pitchers and Holland were going to get them to the playoffs? Especially after last year's train wreck. I don't believe for a second Birdich thought that would happen.


1. RA asks for citations.

2. I provide citations.

3. You present yourself as an ass on the internet.

Something seems a bit off in this process.


Nope, Trump has all the cards and Mexico has no choice in the matter.  They need the US a lot more than the US needs Mexico. It's just the reality of it.  The Mexican President should swallow his ego and do what's best for his country, which is meet with Trump and negotiate the Wall Payment.

But like Trudeau, Nieto chooses his ego over common sense and what's best for his people.


Yah Butt, was he "Presidential"?


Keonigohan put down the pakalolo and join the real world.


You have no shame and no facts, both requirements for right wing nut membership.


people,  including judges need to stop looking at the public purse as the salvation for all issues taxpayer money wont solve a thing, except leave less money for more important issues such as schools or infrastructure
 the public plunder must stop
what has happened is very sad, classic liberalism at its worst wont help at all


SNL is the big looser in all this. They lost one of their key personas -Spicey- and never had the chance to work on the Mooch.


not unilateral withdrawal, but not sure how Trump and his new ambassador will change the dynamic.  Likely going to make it worse, but that is just opinion.


Oil companies have cut diddly.


The Edmonton ISIS supporter is not facing terrorist charges, which would  automatically result in deportation and/or  denial of Canadian Citizenship.


There is no doubt that we MUST focus on Trump's admin at this time.
Mueller has to be allowed to complete this with no more outside interference.

However, once Mueller is done, I am fine with letting him or somebody else investigate Uranium one deal in greater detail.
we have traitors in our current admin and they have to be stopped, caught, and punished.
BUT, if we have more in our previous admin, then they have to go down as well.


What other industries is this behavior rampant in?


The media should have reported that it was in the public domain.  Instead they concentrated on sandbagging Trump.

There has been voter fraud.  A bunch of people have been charged and convicted of voter fraud in the 2016 election.  There were Black Panthers arranged by the Justice Department in 2008 but Obama dropped the charges in January of 2009.

The studies I saw showed that there was probably voter fraud but that nobody was trying to arrest the lawbreakers.  There were a half dozen counties in the US where more people voted than were registered.  Voter fraud in Illinois has been legendary as was voter fraud in Texas.  The assertion that there has been no voter fraud is simply nonsense. In some states, like Michigan, it is effectively illegal to investigate voter fraud.


Insurance companies have a 30% profit margin they keep the 30% profit margin by kicking people off of insurance that have conditions that are expensive and they don't want to pay for,Medicare on the other hand works with a 5% profit margin and they do a great job so the problem here is insurance company is sucking the life out of people because they need to make billions and billions of dollars anybody that doesn't understand this well they're just completely uneducated or they're not paying attention
