Trump asked Comey for his loyalty, twice.
Trump admitted he fired Comey over the "Russia thing."
Trump told his Russian handlers in an Oval Office meeting “I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Comey did not leak "privileged" information. It was his own unclassified memo and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

One hopes political ideologies may be set aside in the pursuit of justice, but it is fading, when you choose to ignore what is in plain sight.


Just another example of the media elites  totally in the bag for Hillary. And if Trump DIDNT reach out to blacks they would nail him for that too! Consummate hypocrites.. CNN viewership now lower then the Food Network? Keep it up guys. You've destroyed any scintilla of objective neutrality left in journalism and instead transformed it into your personal propaganda machine. Reminds one of Hitlers propaganda efforts. Hillary may well be as corrupt. Efforts to use regulations and the judiciary  to silence Fox and conservative talk radio also remind us of another time. Many on the left would sack them if given a chance with Obamas DOJ to follow with a hand slap. College campuses crush free speech and shout down conservatives.  Planned Parenthood can openly boast of mutilating and selling baby parts and its all about the evil intentions of the people posing as potential buyers. Hilary's endless lies go on and on with almost daily revelations yet you coddle her.


If we currently had a "normal" president, I would probably agree, but since our current person in that office may end up in prison because of being a traitor, he is not my president, and I will continue to refer to Obama as my president.


The article is wrong when it says rail naysayers are worried  about ascetics. I believe the naysayers like me know that this project is out of control, completely and is totally unaffordable for Hawaii taxpayers. Shame times ten over to our lawmakers who put big unions and business ahead of what most Hawaii residents really need, a lower cost of living and lower taxes.


That would make a pretty good show.


I sure hope the low info source GOP hard core can follow the logic here.  Giving big tax breaks to the "employers" with the hope they will employ more people and thereby increase tax revenues was first called: "Laffer curve", then Reaganomics, then Bushonomics.  This tax policy has never worked.  SB-21 is this type of policy. Giving huge tax breaks to the oil companies and cutting government services by 25% or more is self defeating. In the ideal world, not taxing the employers would stimulate the employers to hire more people therefore generating more national wealth.  But this is the REAL world, SB-21 gave incentives to small fry wildcaters to go for oil by taxpayers picking up 80% of their cost.  To pick up these costs, we have cut employment in the public sector, cut capital investment, cut the PDF dividend check and therefore put Alaska into a recession.  This has nothing to do with 50 buck oil, it's all about trading pie in sky tax benefits to oilcos for public sector spending.


The Ontario hinterlands are fuming, but Butts learned a long time ago that you just need to keep Toronto happy.


Post that you support Trump, republicans, or enforcing laws on the books. If people believe that you really believe that then you will get called a racist. I got called it on this page with absolutely no evidence anywhere that I am in fact a racist.


Brandon likes to be a merde agitateur.  He has a lot of free time but is disinclined to research topics before posting. His commentary is a veritable Cliff's Notes of Wikipedia.


Eh...why not.  I still think it's funny:

THE WASILLA GRUNTBUGGLIES!

(Sung to the tune of “The Beverly Hillbillies”—with apologies to Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt and Douglas Adams)

Come and listen to a story ‘bout a boy named Todd

Came from a place where the men are fairly odd

Got him a beauty queen and spawned a big ‘ol brood

Loud-mouthed, ignorant, drunken and crude
(Rednecks, that is—tweaker hos, trailer trash)

Well the first thing you know Sarah’s turnin’ politricks

Got Jesus on ‘er side, gonna get outta the sticks

She said “rich and famous is the way I wanna be!

If I can’t be vice-president, just put me on TV!”
(Fox, that is—self-promotion, hate-rants)

It’s way past time to say good-by to all the Palin kin

We wish some place that’s far away would kindly take ‘em in

Like Alabama, Georgia, or even Tennessee

Let the Palins burden the ol’ Con-fed-er-a-cy

(South, that is…sorry, folks—yer too low-class for us northern rednecks; y'all go ‘way now, y'hear?)


Lol. Nothing deadly about coloring books. Also Satanists done condone murder....


<<the officialese of The Vatican is "loss of the clerical state.>>
It used to be: "reduced to the lay state." (I thought it still was.)  Tells you all you need to know about clericalism.


SA-- Which park????


Look in the mirror you piece of shet.


Don't kid yourself. Women are the same everywhere.


Sounds about right. That's pretty much the way it's been all along, through the campaigns too.  Trump always had a strong core support in the 25% neighborhood, but then it dropped off sharply with most everyone else.  Including many Republicans (thus the unprecedented opposition from within his own party, although I still find it a little hard to consider Trump a Republican in the first place).  Trump was either your first choice, or your last choice. He was almost no one's 2nd choice, or 3rd choice, or 4th choice.  It was all of nothing.

Fortunately for him, in the primaries he got to run against an overcrowded field of 17, where 25% support can win.  And in the general election he got to run against someone even worse (Hillary).


Other newspapers have reported on the French Jewish immigration to the land of Rene.  Hopefully my Quebec brothers will make them feel welcome.


Where were all you people when Hillary and her entire private server IT team made a completee  mockery of the process  ten times worse than Sessions.


False...Alaska is the only State without a state-wide sales tax OR state-wide income tax.  All other states have either one or another.


CFL Junkie -

If so many people - the government, courts, public opinion - are telling you your speech is hateful ... maybe it is.

Funny how some don't like people "outlining thier failings" (your turn or phrase).
White Europeans like you, CFL, welcome it.


What a complete and total idiot!  I am so embarrassed for our country (except his base, who worship him as the second coming of Ray-Gun)!  Apparently, he (and his base) have no clue the devastation a nuclear bomb can rent. Show  him some movies...and be sure and include cartoons.


Be aware of your surroundings.


BEHIND IT ALL...

i was conflicted where to put the posting  i posted at https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/morning-briefing-1667, as it seems perhaps appropriate here also


I'm sure everything will be fine.  Think quiet thoughts.  Warm, happy thoughts.  Everyone likes you.  You are a good person.  Sing "Soft Kitty, Happy Kitty" to yourself.  It will make everything better.  The bad people are far, far away.  They can't hurt you.  You are safe.  Nothing bad will happen to you anymore.


I haven't had any problems. In fact, I feel liberated, because anonymity can distort one's manner of communication, and using my name keeps me more honest. But really, no one seems to care very much.


Good comment Jimbo.  I also park cash in a HISA at a credit union (I use Hubert).  I always had the problem of where to park USD cash, but Hubert now has a U.S.Dollar HISA which you can link to your USD account at your bank.


I think that it needs to be addressed by revisiting the issue and admitting that it makes no sense at all to base Catholic teaching on an understanding of human beings that dates to the Middle Ages.  It's high time that the Church admitted that human sexuality is much more complex than was traditionally believed and that gay and transgender human beings are normal and deserve to be treated and seen as such.  I think that the Church's opposition to same-sex relationships needs to be abrogated.  Only then, will we be able to say that the Church respects LGBT people.


I would place the date as the time that Walter Cronkite went off the air which was in 1981.


People! Please! The BoC policy is based solely and exclusively on inflation targeting. This has worked like magic for a generation. Before that, if you recall, the earth was cooling, dinosaurs roamed at will, and we had chaos and uncertainty. Now we have none of that.

And the BoC is independent of the executive branch. Fiscal policy and monetary policy are two separate and distinct animals, never kept in the same pen together.

Poloz is doing a very complex job, he is knowledgeable, well-paid and has some excellent quantitative, administrative and other advisory support. His office is unfettered by government policy.

So although the BoC is not insensitive to the burden of indebted households, that will not dissuade them from taking necessary action. Neither will the exchange rate. These, and expected trade patterns, are useful variables in projecting GDP growth and inflation, but are not, in and of themselves, determinants of policy.

So enough with bubbles and debt and conspiracies!


So, he was released from custody, so the troopers wouldn't have to pay his hospital bill.  Therefore they can't charge him with escape, real smart.


Kirk plan is all talk !!! Talk is cheap the bottom line he is not truthful ..

Plan this plan that!  results is the true test ! Rail a mess! Sewers spill we are getting fined ! Waimanlao gulch no permit , homeless increasing , zoo lost accreditation. , ethics is screwed up,  Horner , grabowlski and now fromby leaving .. we are screwed


The language I would prefer to use would see this post removed. That being said for untrained individuals to participate in a criminal investigation is totally unacceptable. That various Canadian governments are supporting unsubstantiated claims and ignoring several decades of research on false sexual allegations regarding the Unfounded series calls for nothing less than civil disobedience.


Something terribly wrong.....got to be a disconnect with these college folk. Not only cases like this but animals left behind when school year ends is also fairly common. I'm actually quite surprised property owners allow students to have animals.


GOOD tip. I didnt know they had cheese and whines at the stadium. Do you know if it is very expensive?


In Yemen bombs fall everyday .
At least 462,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition with 2.2m in need of urgent care, UNICEF says.
YOU NEVER HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS WAR , WHY? I know why  CAN YOU GUESS WHY ?  The only thing CNN , CBC , GOBE AND MAIL most MSM care about is telling us about is how terrible the Syrian and Russian armed forces are because they are fighting our proxy army that is trying to take over Syria in another American regime change experiment .


You missed the major point of housing as an investment: leverage. 7 percent on a half a million dollar house is a lot more than 7% on a 200,000 stock portfolio. Also, the housing gains are tax free. Anyone who bought a house ten years ago in a major city is probably far more ahead than renters investing in the stock market. You need to quantify the outlays for maintaining a home and the mortgage interest in order to do a meaningful comparison. Going forward, with the biggest and longest bull market in Canadian housing, what is the likelihood of further appreciation? Also, home ownership is at an all time high in Canada. Most people with good paying jobs already own a house, so who will buy their houses when they want to sell? Millenials with low paying temp jobs?


I pray that we can each encounter Jesus through our interactions with others.


Life is so much more complicated than you want to acknowledge it to be mr. kon. Once a war is launched it is not as simple as just pulling out the troops and announcing Mission Accomplished. But you know this and just are looking for an argument once again. Not interested dude. How much to you think those millions and millions of Americans who were laid off in the Bush recession cost the government in unemployment, lost income taxes etc.? Self righteousness? Wow thats quite a ridiculous reaction to some cold hard facts doncha think? Here's a good quote I just came across yesterday:

"Righteousness is a wide path. Self righteousness is a a bullhorn and a blind fold."


Drivers education is no longer required in high school and it is far too easy to get a drivers license.


Nope. I said "track". As someone who lives in this area and can see the track with my own two eyes, don't try to deny what is obvious to anyone living here.

The track for phase one is complete except for curing, testing, and fixes. I don't see anyone digging more supports for rail. Its DONE.

Obviously you want to redefine what is meant by completion of 1/2 of the track. So go ahead what is your definition. And does it have anything to do with what I am talking about.

You cite the report. What is the definition there? It may not be what you think it means.


Most responses on here show how desperate liberals are to blame Trump for this guy's actions instead of the guy.
It's comical that an article about hate brings out the liberals haters.


Gawd no. They are already pushing the limits. Denver is losing it's character.


Everson v. Board of Education. "The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church.

Heart attack.
Several years ago my (former) boss and I were on a jobsite when he felt sick to his stomach.
He thought maybe it was some kind of bug & would pass.
He dropped like a stone soon after. Massive heart attack. He never had the typical heart symptoms.


What they mean to say is-Why the Globe and Mail thinks Andrew Scheer should be the next leader.

This is the sort of hard hitting coverage they usually reserve for Rona Ambrose.

They think the Harper Government was great but that Harper was an unsympathetic figure and if they could just get a smiley Harper all would be well  in  Conservative land.


There undoubtedly already are 'absent Canadians' voting in your riding - as long as they lived there before leaving the country.

That would be people in the first 5 years of their absence from Canada. And any Canadian employed overseas in government work or international NGOs.

The new legislation extends that number, in accordance with section 3 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms:
"Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly..."


I was born in 1965 and lived in the Minneapolis area, so the Mary Tyler Moore show was one of my influences as a girl that I could be a strong and independent woman.  So sad to hear of her passing.


Cory Gardner is an evil piece of garbage.


Scott Baio for labour!!


Wow, talk about snowflakes. Shaming students? Really?
They need to grow a set, and defend themselves intellectually and rationally, not by whining that someone took a shot at their bad behavior.
What ever happened to courage? We seem to have created a society of whiners who woefully whine at the slightest slight.


Don't know why anybody is surprised at the result.  Vos Canadiens, they almost always lose to teams better than they, and Chi fits in that category.  #s were posted to show that months back.  'Bout the only good team le tricolore can beat is NYR, for whatever reason.

Everybody knows what's what with this team:  Price plays out of his mind each and every game, and somebody off 1 scores a fluke or off a scramble.

They needed Duchene, they needed to make that deal and Bergevin can whine all he wants about how expensive it woulda been.  Doesn't matter, you make the deal.  Your time is now, the Weber trade proves it.

Why go half way, then stop?

Lunacy.


You made a snide and false attack on Cardinal Kasper.


Good comment, I and many other caregivers would take it one step further.


Comey admitted it. It is by virtue of the Laws as they are written.  Section 18, and others.  He had conversations with the President, and now he is liable for it under US Code as the FBI Director.  Jay Sekulow who has been in front of the Supreme Court 12 times and won 9 of them if I remember correctly just said that on FOX and it needs to be reviewed.  This is there to protect everybody including the country.  What Comey did is no different than what J. Edgar Hoover did.  That is why we have classifications for these items. You don't get to leak this stuff w/o consequences.

If you think sailing around disputed territory is crossing a line it shows you don't know the line, which shows you are naive and will get a spanking.


What  you say violates the law.  One example is the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).  "It requires any hospital that participates in Medicare and provides emergency services to provide (1) an appropriate medical screening examination to anyone who comes to its emergency department asking for treatment and (2) necessary stabilizing treatment or transfer to another medical facility if the examination reveals an emergency medical condition."

Oh Jesus Alan, are you not aware of the vitriol about to come your way?


Obama, " Premiums will be cut $2,700". So yes Obama promised premiums would go down, knowing that they would not and could not under OBAMAcare. It was a lie. You can't mandate insurance companies pay for ten forms of coverage, and not have premiums increase. Another promise was that the 10 to 20 who were uninsured before OBAMAcare get health care. The latest figures indicate that about the same number who were uninsured before OBAMAcare are uninsured under OBAMAcare.


How about an automatic 3 day suspension if you don't use it? =)


I love these calls for an "honest discussion about gun control" from people who really mean "let's have more gun control." We've already had a HUGE discussion about gun control, and the result was the 2nd Amendment.


The majority of the council will make sure they appoint city rubber-stampers.


I think we need to distinguish between the "should" and the "is" of this situation. The church's teaching on homosexuality was formed in response to a time when the word was closely identified with debauchery of all sorts, including bestiality, and not with the stability we associate with same-sex marriage. I don't think that's going to change any time soon, just because we think it should.


Some one is trying to get a leg up.


Casey while you are in Washington marching  please do me a favor and stop by your Democratic Senators who are grilling Mr. Trump's cabinet picks. Please tell them for me that their irreverence in questioning the candidates supersedes their lack of respect  not only for the  candidate, but for We The People.. I am appalled at the anger and sarcasm these people who have been voted in by Americans show to these candidates. In my opinion, a person who cannot respect another doesn't respect themselves. Sorry your Candidate did not win, however, anger only destroy the container it is in. Give the new President a chance,  and if he doesn't do a great job in 4 years vote him out, but respect the office and the man that is our next President.


Don't forget the prking lot for the throngs of people.
Pave paradise, put up a parking lot....


Despite the Boston Globe & Mail continual attempts to give their favoured Conservative candidate free publicity, it's pretty hard to get excited about their guy.


Wynne has always had trouble with telling the truth and being honest. Of course she is a coward, much like her predecessor who wasted a billion cancelling gas plants. She is morally and ethically bankrupt as are her cowardly caucus who should, by now, have called for her to be removed from office.


And they don't like your comments.


It wasn't Obama either... Cooked numbers mean everything to you Libs!


Michael, this is the first I've read that Trump's performance yesterday was masterful. The editorial in the L.A. Times reads: "Trump's Long-awaited News Conference was Spectacularly Un-presidential." The NY Times writes: "If anyone still held out hope that the awesome responsibilities and dignity of the presidency might temper or even humble Donald Trump, there was a shock from his first news conference as president-elect, on Wednesday. Bombastic, vain and slippery, Mr. Trump played the same small-screen character he has offered the viewing public for years." The Washington Post ran an editorial about "Obama's Moving Farewell, Trump's Terrifying Hello."

Where have you read that Trump was anything near masterful?


Truly a parasitic relationship...


From what I understand, the Wahine have 4 scholarship Seniors ending their playing season this year, Maglio, Kahakai, Greeley, and Koelsch.  With the departure of Limpcomb (sp?) that makes it 5 scholarship available for next year.  Two scholarships have already been given out, that leaves 3 available.  Thinking Robyn will reserve one for a European player, the other two for transfers.  Robyn may even hold on to one of those scholarships for 2019.  Believing Robyn is pointing toward the 2019 season to get the Wahine back into the Top 25, if not the Top 10.  Not saying that Robyn may get the Wahine back into the Top 25 next season, she may just do that.  But 2019 is Robyn's pay off year.  Robyn will have 2 full recruiting season under her belt, to get the players she wants, by then.


What a crock!

Buying a house has always been a major life decision and burden.

My mother noted her grandfather helped her parents buy a house in the 1920's

My parents lamented how hard it was for them to buy a house in the 1950's.

They told us we could not afford the house we bought in the 1970's.

We worried about our kids buying a house in the 2000's.

Our children worry that their kids won't be able to buy a house in 20 years!

What's changed?


Thanks Dermot for keeping your article all about Allen


Relevant?! ROTFL!


DiNardo will probably be elected because most sitting vice presidents are promoted as a matter of course (with the notable exception of Bishop Kicanas a few years ago, but that was a very unusual circumstance). If that happens, I wouldn't read too much into it.

The thing to pay attention to is who gets elected vice president. That will be the real indicator of where the minds of the bishops are. The USCCB elections are like a chess match. You always need to be thinking a few moves ahead.


Finally a compliment from you! (humor)


When was this inaugural address?....guess it wasn't very important.


There were only 7 questions


You've offered a good explanation for how and why the "overbooking" scenario can occur, but the problem is with how United chose to solve the issue. This could have all been solved more easily by continuing to increase the offered compensation until *someone* agreed to get off the flight. If "price optimization" is used to dynamically adjust prices when purchased by passengers, the same holds true when being "purchased back" by the airline. At some $$ amount a passenger will agree to give up their seat; even at $5K or $10K it would have been fractions cheaper than what this option will cost in lost business, damaged reputation and legal fees and possible legal judgments.


Wait a minute. If there is any "division" going on, the root cause is leftist ideology being spewed by football players. The division comes from the left, not Trump. The article is another example of the perverted thought processes of the DP editorial board.

And thanks again for the divisive politics, lefties. Your ideology relies upon division politics, not unification politics. You divide everyone up into little identity groups instead of unifying all of us as Americans.


One aspect that's the same is that in both cases, hundreds of thousands of innocent people would die for nothing.  Possibly not so humorous looked at that way.


Alaska does not owe the oil industry anything. In the first six months of 2017, ExxonMobil made $7.4 billion. The cash payments have to be returned to Alaska, to help alleviate the budget crisis.


Regardless of ones opinion, that's just a deplorable thing to say about anyone.


I remember the old ‘board’ the ADN use to have, that went to Disqus because it got to rowdy,  then to Facebook because Disqus got to rowdy. Kind of wonder how long this one will last.


What else could he possibly hang his hat on? It's all he has; the biggest liar to ever hold office.


I do not see any signs against the AntiFa, so it can not truly be a protest against hate.  I also do not see any signs against affirmative action so it can not be a anti-racism protest.  What was that small gathering about again, since it was not against hate or racism.


Then the comment is less applicable.


So now that "that happened" how long will it take to hire,  train and place 526 workers with no experience and what will the veterans do until then? Typical action without understanding how things got this way and  a plan.  And what about the veterans that need help now?


Isn't it odd that no comments are allowed that oppose the authors views? There is no truth here, just garbage from a woman ashamed of her God given hair .


So much failure. Trump should throw in the towel, like that time with the casinos, and that resort development, and...


It is more exciting to talk about Johnny-come-lately apparently.  I hope someone, as with our QB position, separates themselves as the clear cut #3 WR.


I agree. That said, the truth is that it has always been white folks that have fought treating everyone equally, in a way that benefits all citizens. Trump voters and most other Republicans refuse to acknowledge these simple truths. The good news is that younger white folks tend to be less racist than their elders. BTW, black folks have voted for many white folks when we have been allowed to vote.


Another word-salad argument defending Trump from this guy. Man.

Your profs must have cracked up trying to mark your essays.


"The Lee statue had stood for about 85 years"
.
Or about 1932. Just after the KKK revived itself. Most of these statues are not Civil War homages, they are the second wave of the KKK revival statues. Imagine if right about now revival Nazis put up statues to Goebbels, Göring, Himmler and Hitler. Or how about the Joseph Mengele Medical College? Yeah, 70 years after WWII, that wouldn't fly but somehow 60+ years after the Civil War, Confederate admiration did fly. Can't imagine why a black kid would have qualms about cheering on the Good Ol' Crackers of Robert E. Lee Junior High!!!


Art Robinson ? Oh yes...I get the drift. I still cannot believe the republicans can't find a better candidate than him.

Dennis Richardson won, perhaps that will send a message.


Man, couldn't they have traded him a week ago?


Wow u people make like its Kelly fault.


Trudeau needs to protect Canadian borders. What a boneheaded message to send out to millions of potential migrants!

Welcome to 2017.


Nato countries...
Having a combined GDP of about $35,000,000,000,000 and a combined population of 924,000,000 , makes the Nato countries economic power worth protecting.
The 4,251,000 active duty military personnel between them doesn't hurt either.


Sadly, you are correct.


What a great idea..have briefings in a larger area so Trump and his minions can lie to more people...after all, why lie to thirty people when you can lie to a hundred?

Ms. Wolter, the fact that the Trump / Soicer lie doesn't bother you is the real story here. Trump continues to lie with reckless abandon because his lies means nothing to the average Trump supporter. They're too busy jumping up and down like a 6-year olds screaming "we won, you lost, we won, you lost".


Considering there's plenty of explicit lessons on morality and ethics in the bible that the christians ignore as being "out of context" or "subject to interpretation" I have no doubt that these self-serving egotists that call themselves preachers would find some way to either dismiss or corrupt something as simple as "dont be an asshole" and use it for their own benefit.

I mean we are talking about a religious group that manages to make themselves tax exempt, walk all over other people's constitutionally protected rights, and amass great wealth while avoiding doing virtually anything their holy book says about helping the poor, feeding and clothing them, etc.


Hey Duke Charles Martel, I see you have become your alter ego, El Duque  2.  You must be a very lonely person.


Kathleen while that person is working to that level of success do they use many of the things taxes pay for they they did not pay for.  The answer is undoubtedly yes.   Is there a relationship to the amount of taxes a person pays any the benefits they receive. Yes again.
You cry about the excessive government spending while not tell us what you currently use that you will do without.  Are you any less a user of the military protection to the nation than every other citizen?  Do you receive any less representation in Congress than any other citizen?  So what will you do without?

"But the proposed legislation will also mean Alberta has the most stringent restrictions among its neighbours: British Columbia and Saskatchewan have none."

We live in one of the coldest climates on the planet and the liberal nobless oblige want to tax us to heat our homes.
What's wrong with this picture?
Am sure this tax will cause many families hardship. That and it violates my charter rights to safety and security of person.
Arrogant move by climate ideologues, you know, those who tell us how to live under the current polar vortex while they blow taxpayer money jetting off to Africa to deliver the boy-scout lecture on LGBQT tolerance.
What a mistake I made voting Liberal.
Won't happen again.


Toronto has some of the highest landing fees in the world


" A state regulation helps them charge more." This by definition "crony capitalism"! Competition is the only proven price control. As soon as government comes in to protect people from high prices, the price goes up. It is simply not a function they are capable of performing.

Two axioms; Socialism fails because government is the wrong tool to control business.
Capitalism works until government tries to fix it.


The biggest tax cuts were to completely remove over 100,000 lower income people from paying provincial taxes at all.

A family of four earning $50,000 pays no provincial income tax.


Well this absolutely proves the climate is changing, just like it has been doing over the last hundreds of millions of years.


So cruel to hold chimpanzees in confined spaces.  It doesn't matter that they were born at a zoo.  There is no need to have African animals at a zoo in Honolulu. How about we make it a spectacular garden and bird sanctuary.  Or maybe the zoo and the aquarium could join budgets and make a truly spectacular Honolulu reef exhibit.  So may possibilities.


Requiem for a lightweight.


About $25 billion/yr federally, about  the same cost is incurred on provincial municipal debt with a total of about $60 billion a yr in debt servicing, right out of taxpayers pockets. All this at rate in the sub 2% range.  Imagine if rates doubled, which they easily could do.

That is not a bad call at all.

The weight of evidence in a civil matter is on a balance of probabilities - 50% + 0.001.
The matter simply has to be more probable than improbable.

This is unlike in criminal matters, where the prosecution needs to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.


Absolutely, and not just politicians. But the distinction between that (which is just being a manipulative person) and sociopathy is more about viewpoint than action -- does the manipulator think of their targets as actual human beings or as "things"?


"On one point (at least) I disagree with our government's stand.  If convicted I would strong support revoking his Canadian Citizenship."

We don't know yet what the Liberal government's stand on this would be.  On the one hand, they have said that they dislike the revocation of citizenship.  On the other hand, they voted for the Bill which allows it (and since the Cons had a Majority so didn't need the Libs to pass it, inferring that the Libs agree with revocation) and haven't made a move to change the law yet.

Kiffin would be a disaster. He was a disaster at USC and a disaster in Oakland. Too much ego and a decided lack of ethics. Please not Kiffin.


The ideal is to increase wages and child tax credits so that no child is not supported.


But neither Bob WORKED for or EARNED their PFD. So they're both getting a GIFT of $1000. Alaska is one of the last (if not THE last) state without an income tax. I don't know of any other states that give residents a yearly gift just for living there. Do I like getting a pfd? Hell yes! But before we start taxing hard working Alaskans, the pfd freebie should be tapped to make things fair.


Hello Ottawa Leafs fan,

You are totally wrong about murder rates. Perhaps that results from the wanted direction of propaganda available to you in Canadian newspapers?

The nation of Jamaica in recent years has had an average of about 1,200 murders a year. In comparison Chicago, with roughly the same population as Jamaica, has had an average of about 700 murders a year in recent years.

Sorry, Ottawa Leafs fan, but 1,200 is bigger than 700.

In any event, more pertinent is to compare murder rates city to city, not country to city. The city of Kingston Jamaica has a murder rate of about 45 per hundred thousand, whereas Chicago has a murder rate of about 28 per hundred thousand.

Jamaica is one of the most murderous countries on the planet, nationally about 35 per hundred thousand killed each year (the USA's number is about 4, yes, 4, per hundred thousand).


Wow, just wow. So what is so unreasonable about taking your camera and getting some proof? You make it sound like an epic task when the request seems like a reasonable request to me. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was prosecuted for having a vicious animal, but the accuser couldn't back their claim.


House Republicans who just a few years ago sued the Obama administration for making the payments—a lawsuit still making its way through the courts today—are scrambling to prevent the Trump administration from cutting them off, knowing the fallout could be the loss of affordable insurance for millions of people.


Trump just released his plan for destroying ISIS...he's going to buy it and run it like one of his businesses.


Short sighted to pick a fight with Russia when we have to deal with them re Arctic development.


It works don't it, ObOOba?


You can reach peace deals in all the troubled regions in the world if you remove US from the equation. For the past 20 years all the troubles and wars in the world were created by USA.


Yep.  They sent Senzatela down to stretch him out.  The want/need him back in the starting rotation.


Ziggy:  Please read my post as written before asserting: "Do not pass on fake information."   I did NOT say that Wayne Robert LaPierre, Jr. represents gun manufacturers.  I did say: "A key problem rests with the deft skill of the NRA's Wayne LaPierre in making himself a decoy deflecting attention from the greed of the gun industry."  The value of that opinion does not rely on the nature of Mr. LaPierre's agency relationship with the NRA.


yup, a FEW countries like China are lending the US money so that they can buy their products. And one of the reasons China has a $347 BILLION trade surplus with the US.  But then Nobel Economist Laureate Dr. Krugman told Obama not to worry about the debt.  Depending on how you measure GDP the world's largest economy is either China or the US.  And yet Obama thought it was fine that China could receive funding under the Paris Climate Accord and could increase CO2 until 2030.  Makes you wonder!!!!!!!
What I didn't say earlier, if world interest rates rise or foreigners no longer fund the US debt (just 2 possibilities) there will be a serious financial crisis in the US.  And it will not be Trump, Obama, Meryle Streep, Tom Steyer etc who will not be able to afford health care or struggle to put food on the table.  In my opinion the risk of another financial meltdown is a lot greater than what Dr. Krugman believes.  But then he is an academic with little real life experience.


There are few guarantees in life.

Having a golf course next door forever is one of those that has gone down in flames three times here in Lane County in the last five years or so that I have been keeping track.

If the city/county planning codes permit development, it will come.

Perhaps in your lifetime, perhaps after you are gone.  But it will come.  The Urban Growth Boundary system in Oregon guarantees it.

Your history as a 'legal consultant' in Kansas City, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Denver may not have been in the correct field to understand that.

"Websites' puffery"  do not equal zoning codes.


You can repeat this till the cows come home but that does not make it any truer. If you ignore the grossly partisan social media which has no interest in telling the truth, and look at the nonpartisan fact checking sites, Hillary is more honest than most politicians, and Trump has told more wopping lies than everyone else combined. Too bad most Trump supports really don't care, they like the mans style as distasteful and ignorant as it is.


What did Putin do exactly? No one has been able to explain that. Democrats have repeatedly said elections can't be hacked. Mickey Mouse servers set up by dnc surely could and were. That's there fault, certainly not putins. Unless he wrote out millions of fake paper ballots then the only reason for the dnc failure is on the Dnc. Hillary had a large percentage of votes in The polls but polls can and are wrong. She won the popular vote by a rather small margin but it's insignificant in a republic where electoral college votes matter. Quit being a sore loser and suck it up. I'm not really even a fan of trump but rather enjoyed watching him ruin that witch Hillary.


Truly, she was a unsung heroine, thanks for sharing.


Tabor allows for as much money and more to be spent on "what we need" If you think current levels are not enough, TABOR has a mechanism to actually raise those taxes to whatever level you think we need.  (All you need to do is convince enough people that the "need" is real.)  Just because you say its not enough, does not make it so ... that's the beauty of TABOR ..


It's hard to believe that a PR firm would run the ad of this woman alleging that if the monument is expanded, she won't be able to eat fresh fish anymore. Really? Let's at least be honest  in our disagreement.

Only 5% of the longliners' catch comes from the proposed expansion area. Furthermore, the longliners export half their tottal catch to Asia right off the bat. The other half comes to Hawai'i with half of that exported to the mainland.

The longliners will make up the 5% with fish from international waters where the longliners are catching 95% of their fish already. The longliners are on a quota system, which limits their catch of bug-eye tuna. Exports, quotasand, the fact that tuna are being overfished are the limiting factors here - not expanding Papahanaumokuakea.

I also wonder how much of our federal tax dollars are paying for any of the anti-protection ads and iQ36 the PR firm. Time for the GAO to investigate Kitty Simonds and Wespac again.

Expand Papahanaumokuakea!

The Strange Case Of The Russian Diplomat Who Got His Head Smashed In On Election Day
How did Sergei Krivov die? And why did the NYPD close the case?


In response to Yogaman, no, OC Sports did not make sports broadcasts available to more people on the islands.  On the contrary, they decreased viewership by cutting off online broadcasts of Big West Conference (which had been free and mandatory to all viewers beforehand) to anyone who didn't have cable - starting last fall.  My area doesn't have cable, period.  I can watch live matches only while I am visiting in the mainland for one more week until I return home.  I am furious with OC Sports for denying me live coverage which makes it hard for me to be a UH fan.  Listening to matches is archaic and makes me wish I could watch them.  Now the Hawaiian Telcom subscribers can understand my frustration as well, and I'm not the only one any more.  We should all send a strong message to our athletic director to negotiate a fairer deal when this contract expires so no one would be left out from live broadcasts next time, whether TV or Online.


"Bushiness that installed Microsoft’s latest security patches from earlier this year ... " This makes me wannacry. Prune that bush asap!

California  is most certainly broke.  Unfunded pension liabilities and unfunded retiree healthcare liabilities totaled $366 BILLION as of 2014.  Can't keep kicking that can down the road indefinitely.  At some point, the system implodes.


Rick

How about annual dividend increases of 10% +?

Are you receiving that kindof annual "pay raise" from your other investments?

Both Andrew Saxton and  Rick Peterson ran on a mainly pro business/low taxation platform.

In order for O'Leary to be finance minister, he would need to be an elected MP, and he clearly has no interest in doing the campaigning required to win a seat.


The State Department is bloated mess.  It has obviously been used by past administrations as nothing but a political "rewards" program.  Tillerson should be cutting and reorganizing the department into those things which are critical and necessary (embassies, visas/passports, etc.), and temporary programs that are clearly just "nice to have".


The ferry-question is stupid. Private enterprise should do it, not the state.


Wow. "Weary" my aching but. I just took a quick tour of South Franklins best establishments. Guess who is partying like its 1995?


This kind of mistreatment is not isolated to Customs and Border Protection officials in Hawaii. Our DOE is notorious for discriminating against deaf and visually impaired students and staff, subjecting them to abuse.


Bob,

I have done business around the world. Most places require giving share ownership to a local citizen and or director in order for a foreign citizen to participate. I have done simple structures and complex structures.

All this stuff you read about is for consumer and public consumption. The real world out there is really really complicated.

For example, Americans are not welcome to open any bank account in Canada. There is no law on the books against it. It's just the banks deciding not pissing off the American regulators after various restrictive measures were brought in after the 2008 fiscal crisis. But there is a way around this bank rule. I have done many of these so Americans can have their monies here to invest discreetly. Of course you will never ever see this in the media.


He's a troll who lives in Seattle.


Polish people in majority support democratically elected current government that is attempting to fulfill own election promises. It does makes mistakes but is also facing unprecedented opposition who has been trying to overthrow it few times already. The opposition has support of leftist bureaucrats of EU and liberal left Western media but has very minimal support among Polish people.


Sanders and his supporters were referencing the Democratic National Convention, the Democratic National Committee and the policies and procedures applied....especially the issue of "super-delegates."  I think hacked emails confirmed the system was "gamed" to advantage of the "establishment" candidate.

However, Trump is referring to the November national election.....an entirely different thing.  Such elections are controlled on a state basis and are not subject to an "overall" rigging... The only "rigging" we've seen is the systematic voter suppression perpetrated in GOP controlled states, counties and precincts.  Of course, you might reference the 2000 presidential election in Florida where the results were determined by a conservative controlled Supreme Court.

Trump is,in my opinion, realizing he's almost surely going to lose.and likely lose "big.".  He's "prepping" his most zealous followers to take actions to possibly protest his defeat. "We'd have won, but the ref's cheated us"


Not only that but check what is happening with other types of property... when BC imposed its tax foreign buyers started buying up farmland and build mega-mansions  on it.


Huge mistake made back in the 70's?? when they (Government) started funding Catholic Schools.  We should have a PUBLIC SYSTEM .....and every other choice should be "PRIVATE"  .  If there is a demand for Catholic Schools parents should fund it.  If there is a demand for Jewish Schools parents should fund it.  If there is a demand for "Muslim Schools" parents should fund it........oh this is were my theory falls apart.  If I say Muslems should be pay for their own schools then I'm what....a racist???  School vouchers now clearly the way we should fund education.  Parents can take their vouchers to whatever school tickles their fancy !


What has gone wrong.........crickets.


Thank you for your comprehensive reply.
Let me relate to you a true event. In 2005 I was in the dep: lounge at Schipol airport. Everybody was behaving normally and a group of young lads were being 'loud', laddish I suppose, not misbehaving but a bit extrovert. A middle eastern looking man came in, spread a newspaper on the floor and facing East began to pray.
The atmosphere in the lounge changed abruptly. People went quiet, the laddish lads began look around and whisper. Everybody's eyes were upon this man and one could see fear in their eyes, thinking presumably what I was thinking,  "is he praying for a successful mission?" I remember saying to my wife, "If he's on this plane then we are not."
Airport security then brought a mobile security, x-ray station into the lounge and we all had to walk through it again. In the meantime, the praying man had disappeared altogether. We were assured our flight back to the U.K. was safe.
This is the reality, not the theory.


CBC raised issues such as whether the offshore trusts were in reality administered in Canada in which event they were taxable here. CBC drew several connecting dots between Bronfman,  the Kolber family and Cayman and Israel.
Surely it is incumbent on Trudeau to spend more time dealing with the red flags raised about his main money man.
Very convenient he's in Vietnam... far away and as a bonus he gets to skip Remembrance Day too.


Absolutely! The staff is absolutely essential to providing students with the service and education that they want and need.


The bishops who covered up and moved the abusers knew their careers would be over unless they did exactly that. One exception was Cardinal Wuerl when he was Bishop of Pittsburgh, when he opposed the Vatican and refused to reinstate a priest abuser.


The President has been on the job for 40 days.  Give the guy a chance, he will get a lot down for ALL Americans.


Just as you smiled at your "joke", no doubt.


This article is disturbing. Many readers are likely to sell/buy just on the basis of the recommendations. Since the publication of it AW is off by 1%. The article may have prompted one or two investors to sell. Trading volumes for this stock are usually very low which means high volatility for anyone considering buying or selling.

I think it difficult to compare AW, with a market cap of $440 million, to that of a bank with a market cap of $100 billion. I can tell without looking at the details of each stock listed that there a marked difference in size between those recommended and those not.

A disclaimer should come with the recommendations. Maybe there is one in the original story. However, Carrick seems more interested creating click bate than advising investors.


And vice versa....


Potential for a new movie.  Amy Schumer plays Brooke Henderson and we follow her on a road trip to all the Canadian Women golfing events and 💤

Super, down to earth Analysis Rob.
Anecdotal evidence of buyers, 5 pct ( let's say 10 ) overseas investors, 30 pct speculators, rest normal buyers looking for shelter.

What cost the presidency was Comey coming back in the final week to imply there might be some sort of email crime, before saying, oh, nope, nothing after all - once the damage was already done to Clinton.

How come the voting public needed to know that Clinton's side was being investigated for insecure email practices, but not that Trump's side was being investigated for possibly treasonous ties to Putin?


I hope this judge's ruling on a temporary travel ban isn't an example of others he made. The fact this judge rules on personal feelings and not the law is shameful and unprofessional.  His ruling on the temporary travel ban shows his poor judgement, lack of situational awareness which could cost the state millions to defend. It's sad personal feelings can take precedence in a state which can't even afford to install air conditioners in our schools.


Yet we still import oil from Middle Eastern OPEC nations, exactly why?

Profit above principal.


Trudeau is a disaster just like this road trip.   It reiterates why Trump won.    Talking points, no real plan or direction and higher costs, deficits and bigger government.    He truly is a boy in a mans job.


Dude probably quit when he realized what a nut-case tRump is.


So new buildings won't go up as quickly?  I don't see a problem with this.

What I would like to know  is, would  Islam accommodate Christian students in their Middle East countries, allow them to have a Christian prayer in a separate large gymnasium, and have one of their opinion national  media writters blindly support Christian values through out the Arab countries.
Mm?


"organic" is one of the greatest consumer frauds in America today and is backed by laughable pseudo-science. That this fraud is now being taught to our children at taxpayer expense is despicable.


Seems like a fundamental concept of Christianity would be to aid those in distress. Yet the conservatives don't think that should apply to healthcare.


IRT Joseph Perez,

The GET is not the best way to finance rail.    The regressive tax hurts working families the most because they can't avoid buying food and medicine.  You've bought into yet another lie of the pro railers.

Secondly, the GET is already extended for many years and thus there are interest charges to deal with.  Extending the GET will result in billions of dollars more in interest charges to build rail.   Representative Luke was right that the city needs more upfront money or we will be paying much more in the long run.

And third, not a cent more should be given to the city until a forensic audit is completed, and any wrong doing corrected and people held accountable.

Lastly, the mayor and HART don't know how much rail will cost, or they don't want to say it might be 17 billion.   How do you fund something without a price tag?  Stop rail now!


For the sales of products such as mutual funds and life insurance this is already in place. That is why sales people need special licenses to sell the products.

And I am certainly not saying that it works flawlessly but you would be shocked at the amount of paper work behind the scenes that needs to be completed to protect the consumer.


Kind of ironic that despite all the insane ethical lapses and lies, Health Care has the potential to undo Trump more than any of that

I don't see how he can win this.  No matter what he does, about half the GOP will be upset


Are you one of those people that lash out at everyone because someone annoyed you?

You are correct, my "quote" was facetious. Unfortunately, the "Civil" commenting system deleted my sarcasm font.


Given the degree of confusion among voters regarding who to vote for, one can't blame the pollsters. (Pollsters simply canvassed voters, asked for their opinions and sympathies, and attempted at the same time to keep step with them and their confused thoughts about the candidates. This was not an easy task. Honesty revealed voters' feelings for the moment, which pollsters dutifully tallied, before those same feelings spiraled into uncertainties the next day.)


Feminism is not about equality. never has and never will be.

Feminists can say it all they want, til their blue in the face.

If people who call themselves feminists and are for equality, they'd be fine calling themselves Egalitarians or Humanists...but they don't. All they do is say "but but but...feminism is about equality. ..."

no, it's about how you (feminists) want to be more equal than anyone else.


Must assume you're writing from the land of the defeated royalists.


I had the same reaction!  What do the rail cars have to do with this?


"Males who adhere to the ideology of discrimination of women are victims of falling to their own inner weakness, the need to be dominant over the female gender."

George, you have trumpeted this opinion on and on. This is not some male ego trip. This is following the God ordained system of government on every level in this world.

God has ordained man to be head of the civil government, the home and the church. This has been shown from the bible again and again. But many seem to think the modern agenda of society should trump bible mandates.

All you do is advocate confusion about male and female roles on every level of government in this world. While many refuse to admit it, this is a theological and moral issue, not just some indifferent issue of little significance.

God's authority is on the line and how we relate to His authority and accept the system He has ordained for the human family on every level.


First, I highly doubt that anyone who has just moved into a neighborhood is going to plan a premeditated "murder" of their new neighbor's dog. On the other hand, it's a labrador retriever; he was only in danger of being licked to death-those are probably the least aggressive dogs on the planet.


Other than another in a long line of high paid gas pipeline cheerleaders paid $400,00 ("at the low end of industry standard") a year by another Governor, this type of economic mumble-jumble should be of concern to Alaskans who insist we waste state money on this project. We have a short term debt to deal with in this state and just can't afford any of this.  Private enterprise will do it went it actually makes sense, unlike this statement by Meyer….

"But one thing I'd like to make clear is ownership is not equivalent to investment. The state may own 100 percent, but may not invest hardly anything."


It's okay. Donald Trump is on vacation. We're safe right now.


There IS a left turn arrow.


Given that the zoo is run by some form of bureaucratic  "administrators"...in TO... none of this surprises me at all.
In 5 years they will have all the leopards on Viagra,the wolves on Prozac and Molly will be the head of administration.


Locker room talk goes on between people who don't respect others.  Murder goes on every day as well. Both are wrong and call into question the judgment of the people who commit those acts.  I don't want Hillary nor Trump.  Hopefully he'll drop out and we can all vote for Pence!


$9 Million doesn't walk out the door without this hemorrhoid knowing about it.


Ending corporate welfare is important.  The $700 million paid to Big Oil this year was one of the single biggest items in the state budget.

Greater disclosure will also reveal welfare subsdies that make no finanical sense- and reporters will be better able to describe the cost of the boondoggle known as SB-21.  For example, Dermot writes about $7 billion in cash welfare in a small project- but misses the muich bigger cost to Alaska.  The welfare is not specific to the cost of the project, but to a time duration.  In the case of "new oil" the production welfare runs for seven years.  So Alaska is on the hook to pay $8 per barrel for seven years.  Any rational company will exploit this bad law and accelerate production to collect larger welfare payments from Alaska.  For example- pulling 200,000 barrels per day from the new development will cost Alaska $1.6 million per day- or $584 million per year- or $4 billion over 7 years- for $25 billion worth of oil.  ($50 bbl).


OH the drama!


Hopefully he'll recover in time to strike down many gun control and other public safety measures!


If we were to take an informal survey of Christology, I believe most Latin Rite Catholics would come down squarely on the side of Nestorius. A lot of theologians, too....


Surprised that Malky hasn't called out the Calgary singer's giggle as "stupid" yet.

Calm down, clown.


That's some good stuff, Sue.  Mind telling me where you read about it?  I'd like to see what else that website has to say...


Very funny. Leaked DNC emails have proven that the primary was rigged for a Clinton win and they'll be pulling the same baloney in the general.  Bernie got bought off by the Clinton machine and threw his supporters under the bus.


The percentage of foreign buyers has almost nothing to do with the statistical weight of their effect on prices. Of course, low rates have an effect of the inflation of house prices but all thing being equal the worlds richest can and do invest in homes in Canada; it's a cap. gain exempt investment. My opinion is the foreign buyers have spurred on the hyper inflation of prices in the most desirable areas like Toronto and Vancouver. Canadian's tacitly allow it because home owners do love a price increase in their own homes....... We are for sale folks and one can't "suck and blow" at the same time.


As usual the police officer will be "investigated" by his own DA who wants to stay friendly with the police department so it will all be a show.  Police officer will then be found innocent and go back to work (hopefully more humbly having learned a little bit about taking the life from a human being - not counting on it).  Hopefully the police department gets the snot sued out of them by this man's family.


Part 2.

The problem at the deepest level is that we learn language on the basis that white is the social norm and basically invisible.  For instance, a stand-up comedian starts a routine with "A man walks down the street and is approached by a black man."  The first man is unraced, and the natural implication is that he is white.  The second man is raced.  Black people in language are almost always raced.  White people are almost always unraced.  The racing of the approaching man is intended to supply information about him, and the information is stereotypically intended to be negative.

While I appreciate the efforts of Canada to educate people on this issue, the subject matter touches language structure, societal perceptions arising from hundreds of years of layered presuppositions, and historical stereotyping, including the use of biblical passages to justify treating peoples as inferior or savages.  I think that this is probably beyond the ken of 11th graders to fully grasp.


Treon said she wishes protesters “would be a little more peaceful instead of violently rioting..."
There was protests, that turned violent, in Phoenix, on which side? Is the media going to demand that we single out the side that was violent?


jerry69, “With respect to the president’s tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,” Comey said. “The Department of Justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the Department of Justice and all its components, the department has no information that supports those tweets.”

Marcelle, this is beautifully written and was really an eye-opener to me.  I had not thought about the personal effect of constant discrimination in quite this way.  I am so sorry you are getting this garbage load of hateful comments.  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.  Cherish the memories of that day, and cherish each other.


"Grim, grim, grim. But, being a hopeful sort: All this mess, the incompetence, the ideology, the hatefulness, the peevishness, cannot endure forever. And, standing behind all the headlines of the day, there are investigations into Trump's ties to Russia, the results of which could be politically crippling."

If Barack Obama had one-tenth the ties to Putin that Trump does, he could never have been elected.  Trump is the poster boy for white privilege.  His racist and misogynist fans only voted for him because he is an ignorant, white male.


"Such “transit oriented development,” (TOD) according to experts, could take some of the edge off prices in hot markets, ... . This approach could also decant some of the population growth, which has pooled in high-growth zones, such as King West or Yonge and Eglinton."
.
No, whoever wrote this does not understand the realities of transit networks.
.
Any kind of network system increases the value at all points on the network as a function of the destination combinations made possible by the network, and, roughly, the percentage of the community that is served by that network.
.
This is why the oil companies do not want transit lines - and particularly not dedicated right-of-way transit lines - to link up.  That is what the political fight was about in Brampton.
.
That is why the Oil Company Party backs wasting $5 b on one subway stop in Scarborough (which actually reduces transit pair combinations), but will fight to the death to prevent the DRL from being funded.


If you were a star you could do whatever you like. Ask Donny.


Of course it will be easy to define artistic merit won't it?


The USA is acting on behalf of the Jewish interests within the USA in support of anything Israel wants. Clearly we have all the oil we need, so it's not that. The Arab countries are so far from North America it can't be defense related. No the middle east has been in a constant state of turmoil since the state of Israel was formed. Smart of them to continue to faction the Arabs instead of turning their combined attention on Israel. Money, power and propaganda is not on the Arab side, so to day it's Iran, and  Syria before it was Iraq...ya da ya da ya da.


The "we know best" zealots have attempted to "weaponize" various worthy goals, such as "affordable housing," but they always seem to go silent when they're pressed for evidence _relevant_ to the specific thing they're touting, such as SW-SAZ.

They also rely on canards, like [not so] "observant citizen's" swipe at "inexperienced locals."

So, when "observant citizen" replies (if she does), she should identify all the folks who did the "heavy lifting" on S-C and S-JW and point out their lack of experience. Otherwise, she should quit with the ignorant slams at good people who care for their neighborhood and will put the time in to develop sensible, pragmatic and politically viable solutions. And, who pretty clearly have a lot more "experience" than our anonymous "observant citizen."

Supposedly,Mr.Simpson won't be offered a book deal by a major publisher because of his toxicity,but I believe some less-heralded company looking for publicity may sign him and take their chances that nearly a quarter-century after the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman murders,people will be more interested in Mr. Simpson's after-prison plans than will view him as just a kidnapper,robber and likely double murderer.


If I don't have business being in the sanctuary, I don't go in there, regardless of if there is a rail or not, so a barrier already exists, be it visible or invisible. Most lay people don't have a reason to go into the sanctuary anyways...the main purpose of the Communion rail is for you to recieve Our Lord kneeling. If we can't have a Communion rail because it's supposedly a barrier, why are Eastern Catholics allowed their iconostasis?  Even Episcopalians, Lutherans and Methodists have rails, it's only low-church liberal Catholic types that want to force us all to stand.  Are kneelers in the pews useless too?


It's interesting that a board member who sits on the GIS board according to his profile on NANA's leadership page talks about transparency and accountability makes that quote?

"Jessen and James Mitchell ran a Spokane-based company that received $81 million from the U.S. government to develop harsh interrogation methods." The government could have saved $81 million by watching more TV, where every possible method of torture has been proven successful by police officers, serial killers, private detectives, mercenaries, lawyers, spies, politicians, cheerleaders, gangsters, plumbers, drug dealers and, yes, even psychologists. Because television is just like real life, except you can't feel the pain.


so run for office


I think it's adorable how you make it sound like it's been shown or proven that "a foreign country was involved in espionage," at all.....


Friends on this site have made it clear that they believe some people are not qualified to make an informed vote.

Your assumption that all people believe citizenship alone is the only qualification would be false (I'd say it's a minority opinion)

Ou families may read and discuss, but that's pretty Norman Rockwell imagery to sell, I'm not sure it works that way in all households and certainly not those involved in the chaos of poverty.

I'm of the opinion everyone has the right to vote and express themselves.   Force canidates to talk to the poor, to engage them as citizens of equal value.


Not 'delusional'. It is exactly what happened. Have you not been following the developments in this matter over the past couple of months, 'orientstar'?
While you are right that ex-Grand Master Festing served with honour and is worthy of respect and thanks (which, by the way, he has been given), he also seems to have made some serious blunders in recent years. Including, of course, his final and recent blunder, of taking the Order into collision course with the Papacy. There was only going to be one outcome for him, from that mistake.


"weak, self important and not a lot of fun."

--

A very accurate description of Mr. Trump, reinforced by his thin-skinned egoism and his apoplectic response to any criticism.


I hope this naivete is just for show.  Justices do make new law.  They do it all the time by "interpreting the Constitution".  Where do you find the word "privacy" in the 4,500+ word Constitution?  "Separate but equal" is found in which Article? Where in Article III do I find the phrase "Judicial Review"?


Hi, Lee.  I can understand it if you chose to read/watch/hear news stories closer to your (Ontario?) location.  But "without much fanfare" and "just do it" don't apply to B.C. decision-making around the foreign owner tax.

It appeared that the B.C. provincial government was dragged kicking and screaming into imposing the 15% tax.  People were on MLA's backs for MONTHS before the decision was finally made.  Having made it, people shouted, "well about time!" and "Too little too late!" "Shoulda been 25%!"

When the tax kicked in (in Sept., after "foreign buyers" and their "dirty", "illegitimate" "money-laundered" funds were said to be the cause of the spiraling prices for about 5 years), what happened?

Read closely, and beware the "quick fix" of the magical tax: Between Sept. and Dec. foreign buyer deals SKYROCKETED. Then the number fell.  When CHINA changed the rules--not BC.

Still, Ont. language is right: Non-resident Speculators.  Language not heard or read in B.C.


hahaha, that would be choice #2 if I was the judge or jury :-)


Well, the D line dominated one of the quality O lines in the NFL. Peko doing his job, Gotsis getting penetration and stoning the run, with Shelby getting push up the middle, it's looking good. Marshall killed it yesterday, good lookin' D. Not once last year did the Broncos D turn in a game like that. Wondering if all of the Chicken Littles crying about the Broncos elevating Woods are whining now.


For a second there I though you were talking about our Mayor. LOL


GB 1 actually started the free trade ball rolling with China. Clinton signed it into law.


Based on that question, would you like a real answer?


Be nice of a Honest Democrat such as Pelosi saying her Father did wrong, she could have denounced her dad to make herself look better. But... and choose not to.
Maybe a political mistake on Pelosi's part not mentioning that or is it that she's afraid she'd get pummeled by the Left Terrorists? hahahahaha


No surprise, just common sense you are obviously missing. Probably genetic.


I predict that we are soon to hear chatter Andrew Luck wants out of Indy and Rivers out of the soccer stadium. One of those guys will be Denver's QB next year.


Hmm,...have they considered the health issues surrounding exposure to magnetic radiation?   They aren't insignificant and I would guess these devices generate a lot of it.


Kevin O'Leary, he's not here for you.


Probably a lot of them. So I have zero sympathy for them.


I had the great misfortune of being sucked into this, from kindergarten to college. Thai was spoken at home, and I was bilingual and fluent in both languages since age 5. I was automatically enrolled into this program in Elementary AND Middle School, and couldn't understand why I was being pulled out of class for "extra English lessons."

Once, our principle found me crying in the hallway out of frustration, and I asked why I had to see this American and Thai man every week. Apparently, this man never had the authority to do so, and was fired within days. My family and I believed the situation was resolved, until I was called upon to take the ESL Test in High School.  I was in all of the Honors and AP programs possible throughout my ASD education. That being said, my teachers were baffled and suggested that I call my parents - who confirmed that I should NOT take it. This program threatened my ability to graduate if I refused. I was a number in their formula...a checked box for funds.


Pandora17 - you repeat a discredited meme about Soros and catholic progressives.

Read:  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/30/george-soros-catholic-useful-idiots/

Key from this biased reporting source:  "The $650,000 also helped seed PICO and FPL efforts to shift “the priorities of the U.S. Catholic Church to focus on issues of injustice and oppression.”   Geez, does sound like someone responding to the call of the Gospel and not unlike the founder of the Knights in the 19th century (appears C. Anderson has strayed from the original charism and mission of their founder).  And the one time financial amount is a small fraction of what is documented and spent by the KofCs.

Also, the *fake news* organizations that spout this alleged Soros conspiracy are Breitbart News, Lifesite News (owned/operated by EWTN); Donohue's ridiculous Catholic League; Glen Beck; etc.

Your comment would be rated - *Pants on Fire*


Not much in the way of 'advice' here. More importantly, the numbers are wonky. Travel expenses, for instance. Plus, the present value of a 17k per annum pension, even if indexed, is not 570k.


Amazing, isn't it! I knew that this total solar eclipse was going to be a big deal years ago, but the interest has exceeded my expectations. Given that Madras, Redmond, Bend and even the Warm Springs Reservation lodging space is full, you can imagine how full the other places along the mid-path are, such as Jackson and Casper, Wyoming.  All camping space in Oregon state parks anywhere along the path are long gone. Oregon Parks decided to make more space available in parks, just for the event, and those were all taken within 15 minutes of when they opened for reservations. Get eclipse glasses, before they are all gone, and enjoy the partial. BTW, the Science Factory shop has the glasses for less than $2.


I believe you didn't read my post that well.  As I said, I charge less than market rate for the rents.  Currently I would be receiving an extra $400/month if I did maximize the amount I could get.  Greedy people don't do that.

Would you willingly accept 20% less (the same as my loss per year by not charging market rate) than your car is worth when you sell it?  If you expect to get what it is worth, does that make you greedy?

I believe people thinking that a seller has to give them a discount are called "entitled."


Even in the Genesis story, 'Adam and Eve' seemed to sin very easily. Not much difference between 'before' and 'after'


The questions asked of him at his hearing pertain to his  involvement in  the trump election campaign

As a senator he met with russian officials, and a host of other foreign  representatives as well

So senators are not allowed to meet with foreign officials?

And if they do they are required to report every detail of  their  daily engagements

The rubbish keeps being piled higher and higher

A McCarthy style witch hunt  with the NYT and  WAPO on the wrong side of morality


Please - some facts:
- Clinton won the popular vote (so much for the MAJORITY of the people)
- Trump won the electoral vote but not by much

Agree with your earlier comment about blaming folks e.g. racist, bigots, etc.

But, let's be honest - the uneducated, white male vote is significantly about the loss of white privilege along with changes in economic status.  Research and historical data would show that unions did the most to support these folks but the Republican Party since Reagan has dismantled unions.  And not even Trump can bring the coal industry back; turn back technological advances; education, etc. In fact, fracking brought the end of the coal industry.

Okay, let's not attack using labels, etc. but, IMO, much of this discussion reminds me of the old historical arguments about the Civil War - was it states rights or slavery?  We know now conclusively that it was slavery and states rights was a dog whistle used to justify racism.  Compare today.


Dennis, I said I was an "exited" Catholic, meaning exited from the institutional Church but not from Catholicism.  You want to exit me from Catholicism, as well, when you say I am not a practicing Catholic, presumably meaning I am not participating in the life of the sacramental Church.  I am, however, "by desire," and the Catholic culture informs my life.     Broadly, the Church is a place where I do not feel morally "at home" in its universe.  If there is a main complaint, it's that the priesthood is the bane of Catholicism, corrupt and dysfunctional. All other "wrongs" trickle down from it-- misogyny, the failure to meld mercy and justice in light of the sexual abuse crisis (I've been a victims' advocate for 19 years), LGBTs, etc.  Mrs. Gingrich does not oppose these morally reprehensible practices, and Pres. Trump is clueless as to the crisis in the Church.


I am and always have been a registered voter in CO. since I was 18.  I have no problem with the state providing my information if it is needed to assure there is NO voter fraud.  If illegals are voting, dead people are voting, patients in memory facilities are voting, people who have moved out of state are voting here, or if someone voted more than once or under a false name, then that is voter fraud.   I CAN NOT understand why any American Citizen would want anyone meddling with our voting process and colluding with party officials to commit voter fraud.


Just where did Father go to seminary? Was he not taught the sins of detraction or calumny? With the exception of the his position on homosexual issues, Mr. Trump's philosophy is strikingly {traditional} Catholic. His opposition to free trade and overly greedy capitalism nicely reflects the Church's teaching re distributism and RERUM NOVARUM. His philosophy on smaller, leaner, more localized governance is textbook subsidiarity. And his immigration plan closely tracks Aquinas' views. He has spoken powerfully on protecting life in the womb, condemned the anarchy that has recently filled our streets {see property owners in Ferguson, Baltimore, and Berkley}, and restored confidence in our law enforcement officers whom the previous administration appeared to hold in utter contempt. Is Mr. Trump without flaws, of course not. He is arrogant, not particularly articulate, and is occasionally prone to fibbing ( as opposed to the pathological liar Hillary Clinton}. But so far, he's been "Catholic"


Because they followed the Rule of Law or is that only count when Trudeau claims the Liberals are following the Rule of Law.


Agreed.  I would go as far as saying no woman I know took the choice lightly.  Further, no woman I have spoken with -- or pro choice man, for that matter -- considers termination a viable alternative to birth control.

But young women and their mates make mistakes, and some people are faced with the difficult choice of ending a pregnancy because of a serious and non-treatable birth defect.

Better that the children brought into this world are loved and wanted -- and that the parents have the emotional intelligence and resources to give them a proper chance in life.


Or, if you'r not in the mood for Putin praise videos, you could always kick back with this novel about how a resurgent Christian Russia will overcome the decadent West! Don't cheat and skip to the Epilogue!

50% of the tax cuts go to the top 1%.


"The issue, for many, is the price of insurance. Especially in rural areas of the state, the cost of insurance — even if it is reduced by federal tax subsidies — can still be many times more than the cost of paying the fine, said Joe Hanel, the manager of public policy outreach at the Colorado Health Institute and the report’s author."

Wow, after ONLY eight years of the Repubs explaining this exact scenario would happen, the liberal media finally figures it out?

You're a little late guys, and considering how you excoriated the Repubs for pointing that out then, you look even more like partisan hacks now.


Richard Wright probably flagged it for his lobby to want to hide truths.


I think you confused "former" and "latter" and thereby got it right (if accidentally).  The criminal liability rests with the dog owner, not the trapper.


Start with this:
Require buildings with greater than x units to post a sign at the main entrance:
"This building has an automatic sprinkler system" or
"This building does NOT have an automatic sprinkler system"
Similar to the mandatory Honolulu food safety inspection signs.
Then see what happens.
No tax incentives or low-interest loans please.


You read CBQ? My wife is a member of the CBA. Are you a biblical scholar?


It's where Palestinians live.


The people of the DPRK don't think like us at all.  Totally different logic.  Try as we might to see the world the way they do we would have to have grown up there with the poverty and cult brain washing that takes place from the day you are born.  The unpredictability makes the situation highly volatile.  It is someone pointing a gun at you with you saying you better do as I say "or else" but your gun is holstered.


I've spent almost $60,000 to provide water and sewer to my house in Anchorage (private, not hooked up to the city) and I pay to maintain it.  Sure would have been nice to have had a handout from the Feds instead.


I have no idea whether it fits Trudeau and Butts. I suppose that I'm also unclear on what they have to do with this piece on Trump.


Vouchers only provide a level playing field if any school that accepts vouchers takes those vouchers as full and complete payment with no strings attached - no required parental participation hours etc.  I do not want vouchers to subsidize the upper middle class and leave the poor behind.  So - vouchers must be taken as 100% payment if vouchers are accepted.  No exceptions.  You cannot add personal money to the value of a voucher.  I might support vouchers under those circumstances.


Re:  (1)  CMHC was certainly pushed to keep lending going. Why do you think they expanded, for example, portfolio insurance?  Why did we go to the extreme of 35 and 40 years, for a while??  Why does the max. amount insured remain far above what would be necessary for first-time buyers only??  Or, related to the latter, why do we provide any insurance when high income people buy ONE house, let alone more?? All this, rather than letting the market find its level alone.
(2)  That was the US theory too, but in practice, and after many lawsuits, the government basically chickened out on fully enforcing this - and when you are going to bail out all depositors/bank creditors anyway... -  taxpayers pay either way!!
(3)  When your house is worth $600k, post-crash, and your mortgage is $920k, it will be very rational to walk away.  The fact that you have to go through bankruptcy to do it, in a recourse jurisdiction, will not stop people - the gain is too big (walk and buy back in).


The author, like all others who advocate for the creation of a national pharmacare program in Canada, uses the argument that most other Western countries have one: "If Canada is, like most other Western countries, going to embrace pharmacare...".  These health care writers, however, never mention that these other countries all allow the private sector to compete with the public sector in the provision of primary health care services, which is the reason that 10 countries have better health care systems than Canada's.


Voters in the biggest cities are almost exactly balanced out by rural areas in terms of population and partisan composition.

16%  of the U.S. population lives outside the nation's Metropolitan Statistical Areas.  Rural America has voted 60% Republican. None of the 10 most rural states matter now.

16%  of the U.S. population lives in the top 100 cities. They voted 63% Democratic in 2004.
The population of the top 50 cities (going as far down as Arlington, TX) is only 15% of the population of the United States.

The rest of the U.S., in Suburbs divide almost exactly equally between Republicans and Democrats.


The econut industry is just a grand propaganda machine aimed at making as much money, and gaining as much power, as possible.  Pick out cute animals like seals and polar bears, find the "ugliest" clearcut and the "ugliest" example of oil extraction, such as a settling pond in the oilsands.

Most of the public (especially urbanites, who live far away from any resource extraction industries) are easily fooled - they know very little about things such as resource management or the oil industry, and don't know any people employed by them. But those poor baby seals!

Ecos don't care if they put many Canadians out of work in the oil, forestry or other industries, or take income sources away from aboriginal hunters. They don't care that any cuts in oil production here will just be replaced by increases somewhere else. It is time for Canadians to wake up to their manipulations and realize they are hurting Canada.


Just another example of the continual corruption in Quebec. I'm sure Denis Corderre would happily approve a pipeline if it meant putting $$ into his own pocket.


Expressing opinions are part of life and, fortunately, are protected First Amendment priveleges.  I'm also going to vote for our next President, thereby, expressing my opinion about someone  "much more accomplished" than I.  I don't claim to the the "arbiter" of anything. You may not like my opinions.  That's fine, it's the exercise of your right to express YOUR opinion.

Here's the definition for you: [ahr-bi-ter]  1. a person empowered to decide matters at issue; judge; umpire. 2. a person who has the sole or absolute power of judging or determining.

I, indeed, feel Coach K's actions were unprofessional.  That's my opinion.  BTW: I also commented that, if he had problems with Brooks' behavior, he should have had a private word with Coach Altman.....that would have been professional.  You might want to read Coach Altman's comments on this very issue.  They're in this morning's RG.  If you can't find them, let me know.  I'll be happy to help you out.


Fascists in city hall in Charlottesville tried to shut down the Unite the Right rally , see how far that got them? One of their violent female anit-fi hooligans is now dead and there will be a trial to understand why she attacked the car before being killed.


Do please make use of the cliff yourself and follow the Dumpster - I am sure you will enjoy the experience!


"It argued that having a religious symbol on government property violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment."

By this "logic" every cross, Star of David, crescent, or pagan symbol will have to be removed from every federal cemetery.  Stupid.


Hydro power, which provides most of our power, and wind. Also nuclear is not going away any time soon, and the solar capacity continues to get cheaper and to grow exponentially.


Tabatha Southey is a crazy borderline personality misandrist that has destroyed her husband's life--beloved comedian Dave Foley from Kids in the Hall. I suggest to anyone reading her articles. and her employer, to read about how she greedily forced Dave Foley to pay money he never had, lying about abuse, and horrendous other details of abuse and psychological and emotional torment using her children for private gain and revenge. She shouldn't be a reporter on anything about values or integrity or facts because she has none of those and is a pathological clinically insane selfish horrible human being. .....................


They have the right to remain silent...


let us know if you get " reported" for your comments. their is a pattern with a certain person that does this.notice i did not name anybody.


The ACA has failed the rural populations.


If Trump is serious about draining the swamp, he should start with Price.  You're fired.


Well stated, still.

The nigh has existed for years.

We no longer seem a community, but a collection of us versus them maroons.

We need to come together, and agree, through action, that these gangs are no longer welcome, especially within the communities that said gangs have somehow taken over.


Wow.  I'm trying to figure out why I should care that Milbank thinks Trump is making him sick and, by golly, I can't come up with a reason.  After all, Milbank showed absolutely no concern for all the red staters who were driven nuts by William Jefferson Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.  Let's not forget the special way that Mrs. Clinton not only got on everyone's nerves for decades but continues to do so even as she's been consigned to the junk heap of history.  Or, for that matter, how about Pelosi, Reid and Schumer as well as liberals in general?  My goodness, they've certainly put some wear and tear on red staters over the years, for sure.  Herein lies the difference between liberals and conservatives - conservatives see things they don't like and they go out and do something about it which has happened across the nation.  Liberals, on the other hand, curl up into a ball and whine incessantly.  Milbank suffers from something, alright...it's called "Trump Derangement Syndrome".


Among others.


Typical Trudeau distraction.
Having failed to address the court backlog problem and unable to establish a quick and reliable test for drug impaired driving, they introduce this superficial measure.
Be much more impressed if they shelved the marijuana legislation until they were ready for it and tackled the court situation which releases alleged criminals back into society.


Taxes have produced the American republic. Our founders revolted for that very reason. If the founders were alive today, there would be another revolution.
Not my responsibility to feed your kid in school, support his bus transportation. Over paid public officials, supporting villagers who won't work...
Not my problem.


The Trumpster proves once again that he has very little understanding of the constitution, world history, US history, and what made America a great nation. It's what you can expect from a man who doesn't read books.


So is her bail lower than his, simply because she is a female? Seems to me they are facing the same charges, their bail should be the same.


... did you forget to READ THE ARTICLE ...


What's missing in the whole Obamacare...there is a difference from "health insurance" and "healthcare". Obamacare only insures that you pay for insurance...not that you receive healthcare.  Try finding a doctor that accepts this "insurance" plan in Hawaii.  And don't forget the $130 million dollars spent on the Hawaii exchange program that totally blew up and failed.  Obamacare is next.


.

A cabinet loaded with billionaires, CEOs, Washington elite insiders and generals.

What happened to "Drain The Swamp"?

Are all those Drumpfettes who 'voted for change" finally realizing that you were conned?

.


A world wide scam against who?


It's not a false claim.  Where should I get information, from the police?  What news agency do you not consider to be the "media"? Thank God for the media, otherwise we would not have learned of Donald Trump's sexual assaults, in which the cops more than likely ignored the complaints of his victims.   Thank God for the Boston Globe's coverage of the sexual abuse scandal, which the police were very much aware of and did nothing, for letting the public know what kind of men were running their churches. I recently spent a month in Italy, and the police were the most polite, helpful, friendly people I have ever met, and everyone of them was slim.  So unlike the rude American cops, most of whom are severely overweight, with shaved heads, and extremely rude.


You really should read something other then your own posts. Watch various new reports as well. Mexicans who have come into this country in the last year aren't refugees, nor are they permanent residents of the US, they are illegals. The Somalians they have come through Mexico aren't refugees they are economic migrants who have found the door  to the States closed. The illegals from Qatar didn't spend  a month in the States , they had a destination, and they were not refugees. You have been all over this site criticizing everyone, when your time would be better spent doing some research . The word is out Canada will take everyone, hence the continued increase in border crossing. As well quit asking posters for a solution, we have no power, we elected a government that is supposed to look after our interests.


No, it doesn't.


I think they still would have because if you recall the whole thing started with the Whitewater investigation that took almost 5 years and by some estimates, over $70m (between $39m and $70m depending on who you believe) to investigate. When they couldn't find sufficient evidence to charge Bill & Hillary in the Whitewater scandal, Starr grabbed on to the Lewinsky matter after Tripp delivered audio tapes of Lewinsky discussing her affair with Tripp....so yeah, I think they were out to get Clinton no matter what. The funny thing is, some of the Republicans that led the charge of impeachment were found to have been carrying on affairs of their own including Henry Hyde, Bob Livingston, Denny Hastert, Bob Barr, Dan Burton, and more incredibly Newt Gingrich who was having an affair with an intern during the time he was calling for Clinton's impeachment....


onceuponatime33: The Premier of Vancouver? Hmmm... I wonder if British Columbians realize Vancouver has separated from the rest of the province? Also, as a matter of self-preservation we tend to follow American politics more than Americans do ours, but how many Canadians could name the governors of, say, Pennsylvania, Illinois or Michigan? Probably very few.


Comparing our currency to 3rd world countries?.....please at least do a little better then that.
Pathetic article......


"Zero Hedge's content has been classified as "alt-right", anti-establishment, conspirational, and economically pessimistic, and has been criticized for presenting extreme and sometimes pro-Russian views."

~ wikipedia

No, thanks.


Maybe you have a hard time being able to focus on multiple issues at any given time, but most people are able to talk about a wide variety of current events that are going on all at the same time.  The world does not stop, nor should it stop, due to terrorist attacks.


How is this relevant to the article / discussion?

We're talking about elections in Europe here


Its all people. What's the difference?


HRC blames Trump. WOW. I was not aware he has been in charge the last 8 years.


I don't know Hatefi or Parra, and I certainly don't know the details of the case, so I may be the one commenter here who does not think he knows what the right course of action is.

What I do know is that few of us would have 100 of our customers or clients show up in our defense if we were fired from our jobs. Whatever Hatefi is accused of doing wrong, it's clear he has also been doing something right. Hopefully his possible shortcomings can be corrected.


Me too.  Has me scratching my head.  I was big on the guy when he was drafted, but his work during the season last year left me unimpressed.


Does Harper mean "napping"  in the same way that his government was caught napping when the 2008 crisis hit? So far the only thing the Trudeau gov't has got wrong on this issue is including soft issues, like gender, equality, etc. That doesn't belong in the trade agreement


WLB


Such an upstanding Canadian.
Throw 2,500 workers out of work. Make them and their families suffer -- literally thousands of people -- because you are not happy with the situation at another plant, in Oshawa.
Wow.


Sorry, I was trying to channel a younger generation. What I meant was, I agree with your comment. Roy K. has been reading us for years, so I am not sure why he is raising the question above only now.


Didn't the democrats consult economists before they passed ACA? If not, how could they be so stupid not to? If they did, how could they make such a huge mistake? How about leaving it up for individuals to decide what healthcare they need? Or, are individuals too stupid to make decisions on their own? Assemble a group of experts to respond or feel free to respond with your own thoughts.


But many corporations and those in "financial America" contribute a lot to charity. Also a write off, but helpful. Trump does not. Another thing his tax returns will show. I am willing to bet he's even lying about being audited.


Or many papal funerals. Blessed Paul the Sixth, anyone?  And I love the man and consider him much more holy than JPII anytime.


Sorry, I was trying to be funny.   His detractors keep throwing hoping something will stick while not having the intelligence to recognize their own inconsistencies.  But I do think he is a blowhard.


But Victoria, all you to do was shoot for a plenary indulgence--seldom particularly more difficult to obtain that partial indulgences--and your worries are over. ;-}
