The toxic politics of pipelines .....
Forgive me - but our media plays a large part in this debacle ! Beyond scaremongering headlines I have yet to come across any coherent statistically significant STEM data based article that would clarify/quantify the relative risks and $$ efficiencies of petroleum transport - rail or pipeline, tanker. Without such factual data set on which to base political, economic and technical decisions the headline and political three ring circus takes precedence !
Methinks the Trump virus is propagating across our border .-)


RangerMC, Safety and security are critical.  That's why the federal judge issued the TRO.  The executive order didn't do anything for safety and security.  The Trump administration presented a "dearth of evidence indicating a national security purpose" for the executive order.  You are just imagining that it would make us safer.


Notice how the word "accountability", or any concept related to it, is absent from this editorial.

The legislature should make as a condition of any new tax a forensic audit where the new monies would be held in escrow until such time as the audit is completed, made public and recommendations in the audit are implemented.  Otherwise, the legislature is no more than a street corner crack dealer continuing to feed the Mayor's "habit".


The BC Liberals are right-wing


Meanwhile the Liberals are considering raising the effective tax on capital gains.  The more the government taxes the entrepreneur, the business owner and the investor, the less there is left over to invest in and grow business and jobs and the economy.  Our PM admired Castro, China and no doubt Chavez, as he seems intent on making us another Venezuela.


about the same time as his Agha Khan vacation conflict of interest case ?


Not likely... Inouye was never mayor. More likely some revered by the city like Hannemann.


One thing you wrote is true, with the Aces gone and UAA likely not far behind it makes this a less livable town. But hey! We can tax ourselves to death for parks! How exciting.


Do they run 7 days a week?
Do they go to the airport?


And another thing: does anyone out there know anyone who has won a major prize in Roll UP the Rim. A guy at work has been asking that question to people he meets for the past 5 years and he has NOT met anyone who has and this guy has a lot of contacts.


What's especially sad about this insight is that it's about those in college, supposedly the best and brightest in America. If this "selfie" generation takes ideological narcissism to its logical conclusion, it will only want to hear its own opinions endlessly repeated via some type of echo-chamber.

Voltaire supposedly said something like the following: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." History teaches lessons that are sometimes ugly, but still true.


Like your previous post here?  "it was someone on team red that got shot"

(Q) Who uses guns to shoot innocent people because of a specific political party affiliation?
Answer: Mob Rule enforcement by a criminal.

Who brings up such a thing to begin with?
Most of us know that answer already.


So BCE is prepared to spend a billion dollars enhancing and upgrading wireless and internet infrastructure in Manitoba, which would contribute to the growth and enhancement of business, industry and personal wireless and internet use.  But the regulator is concerned only with whether or not someone's cell phone bill for the month is, oh, maybe $10 higher than somewhere else!


Yes, I oppose all subsidies.  No group of people should be able to steal my money to give to con artists who sell crud like windmills.  Or any other thing not of my choosing.


Actually, the more correct and important inference is that Jesus is with us, in the division that He allows.

It begins inside us...when we want to be our own god, deciding when life begins and ends, deciding what love is.

It's seen in abortion, divorce, euthanasia, porn, and lots and lots and lots of interior complaint.


To the Grey Cup?


Are you suggesting we do away with child labor restrictions, force all of us old folks back to work, and more? In your world do we put infants behind the counter serving burgers?

And, yes, if you are indeed in the top 10%, that means you are more able to pay than the bottom 10%. That argument was settled long ago. Just be glad the rich have been able to lower their taxes tremendously ever since President Kennedy started the reductions in the early 60s. I would have thought if you were intelligent enough to make good money you'd be able to figure that out for yourself.

The top 1% make such vast amounts of money it makes it look like you poor 2 to 10 percenters are paying oh so much. Boo hoo.


I heard he went to Louisiana to work on David
Dukes campaign.


They hide behind non-profit. They are nothing more than a lease agent for local governments to 1% of our local small business community, openly discriminating in criminal crony capitalism, and monopolistic protectionist policy. LCFM repeated criminal history has not only been covered up repeatedly by the Register Guard, the city and county have protected them from criminal prosecution. This is the same city council that demands Citizens United be repealed on the grounds corporations should never possess equal rights of citizens, and yet in staggering hypocrisy have granted SM-LCFM, by fiat, far more rights than the citizens whose property they operate on through political crony no bid contracts our trade laws strictly prohibit.


Trump's ego is out of control.

His press conference at Trump Tower is a disaster.  He stayed there to talk because he believes he can "win" in this situation.  He already lost.  He's losing more.  So big.

The more he talks, the deeper a hole he digs.

He's equating George Washington and Thomas Jefferson with Robert E. Lee.

Attacking John McCain.

Surreal.

Trump say he "didn't know all the facts" when he made his Saturday statement.  That's why he didn't specifically condemn White Supremacists. . . .But. . . HIS STAFF SAID HE WAS CONDEMNING WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN THAT STATEMENT!!!!!

Which is it?  Who's lying?  The President or his staff?


"[N]o true Christian "just warrior" will ever celebrate his having killed, or rejoice in it, or boast of it. Nor will that warrior's society. Killing is always an evil, always a source of sorrow, always to be regretted."

I totally, totally agree . . . except for the proposition that killing is always an evil.  Killing is at times the moral thing to do.  But even then, as you say, killing is to be regretted and is always a source of sorrow.


Perhaps- the anti President group is not funny, it is very sad.

Trump won. Hillary lost.


"... financial hyperbole..."   Love the term, it cuts two ways.  The elites use it to moan about how Hawaii's high taxes are the cause of a myriad of ills.  In reality real estate taxes on their manses are the lowest in the nation.  As the Donald says, there's something going on there...


"Caldwell has done an outstanding job"

Yes, he is an oustanding LIAR.


"the DP is a liberal-leaning newspaper"

False. The DP Editorial Board endorsed Cory "One Term" Gardner for US Senator in the 2014 election.


Harper worked! He didn't live off a trust fund for 20 years, earned a valid economist degree and was involved in policy and governance for many years. Grow up  and educate yourself if you love Canada.


If the feds would prioritize acts of domestic terrorism such as this and ignore the potheads who rarely cause trouble we'd all be safer.


No. You can thank Justin Merkel. He twittered his open door views. He spoke again about it when he met Trump at the Whitehouse. All the media in the US covered it. He has blab to various media outlets around the world about it.

So the press coverage is very high. The word is now out on the streets of the US.

Justin did a Merkel.

Thanks Justin.


The end is near for Kealoha.  The FBI will try to make a deal with these two.  The deal?  Either testify against Kealoha or go to jail.  Nugyen is a wild card.  Will he testify against his estranged Uncle in law.? Because of his "make up" I think he will.  But Shiraishi as I know him,  definitely will. so...Bye Bye Louie Bye Bye!


Social justice, as long as someone else is paying for it, right?


Re-read my post.  He has owned another existing house within the city limits for over a year.  He could have moved there or at least called it his "residence" and stayed in the race.  That was my point.


How could you missed the best Cuban Sandwich in town? Ollin Cafe on 2476 E. Tudor has the best Sandwiches, Salads, Smoothies and Coffee. They even have Ready Made Dinners to take home and Bake. The Cuban sandwich made with pork they cook overnight on Banana Leafs and then smoked.

It is interesting how sometimes you can feel better with uncertainty! Compared to last year at this time there is far more uncertainty i.e. entirely new coaching staff, how will the much beleaguered defense perform, do we have enough depth at QB...the list goes on...to say nothing of Taggart's first head coaching job at Power 5 Conference school! Yet I feel very good, maybe even better than this time last year(I never really liked Helfrich's laissez-faire coaching style) because I feel Taggart is working hard to change the attitude, culture and accountability of the program. How much it will translate into "W's" is anyone's guess but if nothing else we are going to see, I believe, a MUCH  MORE COMPETITIVE team on the field. GO DUCKS!


Health insurance doesn't tell the doctors how to treat patients.  Doctors are in "defensive mode" due to lawsuits.  They're in CYA mode.


You ask why would these children-now-adults create a class action lawsuit against the Crown?

For the money.  Because they can.

Any other questions?


Made the mistake of buying a NISSAN Pathfinder once.  Never again.  Total junk.  Un-reliable, drank gas, tons of rust.

I'd never, ever, ever buy a NISSAN product again.


RE: Court ordered AA: "He has only to lift up the rug to discover in even the greatest theologies a measure of double talk" (Edmond La B. Cherbonnier in 'Is There A Biblical Metaphysic?'). The religious paradoxes in AA can be spub favorably or unfavorably depending on who is doing the spinning. It's certainly not the neophyte, at risk of major guilt trips that can take years if not decades to resolve.

AA should not be court ordered. It's been court ordered since the 1930's, yet DUI continues (worse yet, young people are increasingly court ordered into Celebrate Recovery, an even more religiously explicit program). More severe laws are needed instead. Public safety emphasis should be on crime prevention instead of religious programming under the guise of rehabilitation.

Practicing altruism, or agape love over eros love, requires the willingness and the wherewithal that is, unfortunately, too often unrealistic (unless you're a monk in a monastery; (more in next post)


The single, biggest budget item is the military.  I'm sure there is enough pork in there to benefit wealthy corporations and businesses--enough to offset any perceived assistance for the downtrodden.


I can't get the "The Monorail Song" out of my head.

There's nothing on earth like a genuine bonafide, electrified, six car monorail!


I pay , the state miss manages I pay more ? HMMM


i have already written telling Laura Thielen how disappointed I was.  She hasn't responded but her mother did.   I haven't had time to really respond to her.  She wants to put rail at ground level.  I think this will slow the system down big time.  Part of the reason they wanted to put it up was so that the trains can go faster, no one to run over.  At ground level it is just a matter of time before there is a collision between a train and a pedestrian or bus full of crippled children.  I remember the city showing old footage of the interaction between street cars, pedestrians and automobiles.  Kinda funny unless you are hit.


"We're all going through stuff, but at the end of the day, our kids are still alive," she said. (Alanah Peterson)

Well, YOUR kids are still alive.  David is dead.


Your an idiot plain and simple. Your anti gun, anti hunting rhetoric is evidence that you have reach full retardation.


Because...poverty. Because trauma. Because systemic abuse and racism. I'm not sure if you know any " helping professionals " but none of us are getting rich.  Most of us are here because we are compelled to be. We actually care. Unfortunately our provincial and fed govt rarely do,  as they get voted in by people who care more about their personal wealth than anything else. We could work anywhere. We choose to be here.


Well Darcy you get to elect a Pope through your cardinals and other potentates don't you?


actually, there are studies that show it to be a deterrence. regardless- i believe in certain cases, that it makes us a more civil society.


After the mass murder  in Orlando  numerous gay and lesbian leaders of America's and even Toronto's LGBT communities made speeches at  memorial services for the dead. They  all blamed  Donald Trump for the bloodshed , while assuring us Islam is a peaceful and beautiful religion and had nothing to do with the  massacre.  Mateen's recorded shouts  of ALLAH AKBAR as he killed gay men  mean nothing because apparently no true Muslim would do such a terrible thing.   It is truly insane yet today perfectly orthodox.

Thyroid problems Are often missed, as the article states; minimal research would attest to that. My thyroid issues were not addressed until I was quite sick. I have hashimoto's and was kept sick by incompetent doctors. My issues with this article is that it mentions only Synthroid and levoxyl and only part of the full blood panel that is needed.
Also, that an endocrinologist was interviewed brings the lol's.


Why do we have to evaluate things in light of today?


Remember that unfit cops also gravitate towards security guard positions.


Whaaaaaaat the Duck????   A criminal actually flees Oregon.   With all the CRIMINALS attracted to Oregon in recent years I am surprised one fled...........But, the Good Guys got him and now he has to be Accountable for his Horrendous Crimes.........


formerpolitician: I have little doubt that you think that the nurse practitioners are a good idea for everyone else, but that you would prefer to see am MD if you were personally ill.


How many Canadians think this was an "isolated" incident?  Like the one a few years ago where a Somalian teenager was tortured, that resulted in the disbanding of a proud Regiment? Right.  We are racist!


62.5 yards per game hardly makes one dominant. 1200+ would look much better and indicate a back who can control a game. Let's hope CJ has it in him and the line can do a decent job of opening holes.


Can't wait to eat there!


Guess this clown forgets that Monica was a willing participant.  No comparison.  Trump and Weinstein both made advances at women who clearly said no or asked them to stop.  Big difference Corey.  But you’re a man wtf do you know about being sexually harassed?  Obviously, nothing.

Furthermore, in case any of you have forgotten Hilary was running for office not Bill.  And Trump has been nothing but a national disgrace and embarrassment to the United States.  Stick that in your cap and smoke it Corey.  Wait, weren’t you fired by Trump?  I’d wipe that brown dukie off your nose!


Murkowski Murkowski.  30 plus years of Murkowski and the only people better off are the top 1 percent.  IMHO the fix was in for the last ACA repeal vote.  Murky and Collins were allowed to vote against.  Pence would break the tie looking presidential.  Just like the Betsy DeVos vote.  (Murky owns DeVos)  McCain was the hero not Murky.  We will see her true colors on this vote.  Collins and McCain are declared against.  Will Murky actually vote for repeal and screw her constituents?  History shows she votes for her contributors before her voters.  Just like her daddy.


Fine.  But both are dangerous to the U.S. in my opinion.


I like how these architects build these tiny homes and make all these claims then go home to one of their 20 000 square foot resort homes custom built near a waterfall in Barbados or some where nice.


So, what is it that you found disgusting in Richard Parker's post?


Yes, but the Globe's heavy-handed political correctness has some entertainment value. Knowledge value, not so much.


"Add Siemian’s well-documented track record of injury, and I figure there’s at least a 50 percent chance Lynch will get a chance to start sometime during 2017."

If we judge Lynch by this pre-season, let's just hope Siemian doesn't get hurt. I'm not sure what Kiz is looking at but how does he figure the Broncos would turn to Lynch if they start less than 3-1? If Lynch takes a quick look up field and then starts to run against 2nd teamers, how is he going to rate against first teamers in a regular season game? Even Tebow looked twice before he ran. A toast to Trevor Siemian...here's wishing you good health. Please.

We need a national discussion about native  alcohol consumption. Until that happens little will change.


go cry somewhere that you will be listened to.


I would call the team's bluff.  If they move out, there will be a weak US franchise (Arizona, ..) that will move in later, just like the Flames moved to Calgary originally and Winnipeg got the next Atlanta team.


BLOTUS is hacking away at the very core of our nation and its freedoms.

BLOTUS is taking an unwilling nation into nuclear war.

BLOTUS is smearing his excrement on the US Constitution like an orangutan.

BLOTUS continues to escape justice for his ****y-grabbing habits.

BLOTUS is treating his presidency as the FINAL EPISODE of The Apprentice.

BLOTUS is a disgrace to this county.

How long will we stand idle to this clown-car house of mirrors psycho-circus?

IMPEACH BLOTUS NOW


.
He's starting out the same as usual, he is going to take someone else's money and then skip out on paying the workers and the contractors.

He'll paste his name on in gold and hop in his helicopter and leave the mess to someone else to clean up.

.

He's nothing but a petty con man.

( …well, …yes, ...he's a traitorous, belligerent and childish buffoon also.   And a racist fascist.  And an admitted sexual predator.  And a liar.  I'd say he's got  the grammatical skills of a seven year old, but that would be just piling on.  …. …. yeah, no.  He's all that and more.)
.


Such silliness.   Have any of you, in your entire lives, ever met a genuine White Supremacist?  Very doubtful.   But now you're convinced the Klan is somehow everywhere, in huge numbers?

Church meetings....clergy meetings....petitions to your bishop....what in the world?

Meanwhile, in Chicago, 60 people are shot every day.    This fact never enters your moral radar...


Vouchers allow you to use MY tax dollars to send YOUR kids to St. Sharia's School.  My tax dollars supporting your whacked out sky fairy crap.  No way.


Too funny.

So you admit that all of those rabid anti-oil NDP'ers were wrong all along?

Or were they simply ignorant and uninformed?

Either case hardly qualifies them for government.

But no matter, they have 2 years left, after which they will all be free to flip back to their former ways, albeit from outside the legislature.


Jay,
There is a huge difference between an ACCORD and a TREATY. Obama agreed to lead the other countries by signing the ACCORD. Trumpet chose to thumb his nose at them and show how stupid he is by walking away and proving his America First policy of isolation and greed.


Please do us a favor....move to North Korea or China since you worship them so much.  Your posts are worse than Kim Junk Dung's haircut!.


That is a tough question to answer. I definitely wouldn't want him walking around free in a few years, especially if the murder was premeditated.


Ah the views of a mysogynist that lacks grace in the face of a marginal and temporary victory for your side. If the broader NDP attitude is similar to yours, this government will fail spectacularly.


Your reference to that book would be more factual if you would admit that the correct interpretation would be that the similarities between todays democratic party and the Nazi party of the 20's and 30's are much more relevant than any similarity to people who believe in individual freedom, such as conservatives/republicans and libertarians.


Thank you for this letter, Laura. I wonder if the city would be willing to put baffles (shields) on some of these lights, at least in residential areas. Walking (and driving) for me has also become much less pleasant for the reasons you mention and the light spills onto private property. Because of the glare, it is harder for me to see with the new lights.  I think they might also violate the city's own lighting standards. http://www.amazonneighbors.org/lighting.html  All lights, including residential lights, should be shielded to reduce light trespass and pollution. As a woman, I actually feel less safe, like a lighted target.


This American has to state that the problem is Trump.  He appoints a Trade Representative who hasn't helped negotiate a trade deal since 1983.  Canada and Mexico send their best, so now the "Tin Man" is throwing "Twitter Darts".

I have no problem with NAFTA and how it is benefited all three countries.  Certainly it is now time for a constructive review, but not, in true Trumian fashion, turning over the card table, throwing the cards in the air and going home.  He's had a bad seven months and has accomplished nothing but setting the world against him.  Hang in there, we'll all survive., hopefully, without Trump and the sooner the better.


Hmmm. So, the guy was black? Didn't pick up on that. If he wasn't, I don't understand your comment. Even if he was, I don't understand your comment, because you are assuming that all those people who died that sparked protests from BLM deserved to be killed.


Lets ask Walker for a receipt :)


Something doesn't add up, on one hand we small businesses are adding 30B into savings or dead money, yet only 5% of us make over 150K.  Which is it, we either make very little money or we are a tax gravy train for the government.

I think to be a politician you need to speak from both sides of your mouth.


It is crystal clear that our nation's people divided themselves into a handful of groups with hate of something as the only common bond. Obama wasn't divisive, that divisiveness was the work of Congressional investigative committees whose goal was not to find truth, but merely to broadcast vile innuendo; and of the right-wing media whose goal was only advertising sponsorship money with which to line their cynical pockets.

Trump's strategy was to divide and conquer, and his genius was in appealing to the anger of bigots who felt themselves dispossessed of what they believed was their rightful place at the top of a mountain of people different in skin color, religion or ethnicity. Our nation is now rumbling to a new apartheid with the violence that accompanies dispossession of the rights of one people by another people. Yet Trump has found a way to get his followers to blame the victims of that dispossession, and it wasn't hard to do, they were waiting for their dark messiah to appear.


Bentley just did!


One of the professor's concerns is affordability of Internet access service, but nowhere in his article does he mention that the CRTC's decision involves raising hidden taxes on telecom services in urban areas, including on poor families, and using the extra money raised to subsidize Internet subscribers in rural and remote areas. One of the results will be that poor urban families will subsidize the Internet service provided to vacation properties of millionaires in rural and remote areas.


"..same dysfunction that marks the way the state handles other problems on its trails and popular spots."

The mentality of Hawaii county seems to be - Keep the tourists at the resort hotels, let em' rent cars and drive around, buy a souvenir, and go home.

Civilized amenities such as bathrooms, enhancing parks and scenic places is not encouraged because it would take man hours to maintain and it would encourage more independent minded travelers. The country prefers packaged tour tourists to be sequestered at the resorts it's more cost efficient.
It's an old policy that needs to change!


Make the Mexicans pay for it!


Liberal Promises are today's "alternative facts"


With that photo, tell me we don't live in a militarized police state.


Thanks for explaining why you used the "most cities" argument. I don't know how you define that cities"get along just fine"  without a civil rights group since some at least face legal challenges because of discrimination, but that's an issue you provide no evidence for.
When you say "we all do that," do you mean we all lock our doors to gather ourselves because we might be deported? Of course not. So you are focusing on locking a door (like we all do) with WHY one locks a door.
For instance. Let's say I live in a crime ridden neighborhood. My neighbor had a home invasion because he had no locks. I ask for my city to pay for a lock. Would your answer be it's not warranted because "we all lock our doors"?


Don't say, "As Catholics, we are so ashamed."

It's not Catholicism that caused this to happen, and the abusers didn't abuse because they were Catholic.  Be honest -- as people in a position of power, you abused that power as you abused those in your care.  Be ashamed because you and those like you enabled abuse, tried to hide it, ignored it, put a hierarchy and a clerical system above human beings.

Those human beings are or were Catholic too.  They have nothing to be ashamed of "as Catholics."


Donald Trump is the worst kind of idiot there is: a dangerous one. He’s a short-fingered trust-fund baby with an absurd hairdo, hell-bent on being the President for personal gain, and he’s willing to say whatever foolish people want to hear in order to achieve that goal.


Nope. Trump seems as deranged as ever, sorry. We know nothing about the person who did this yet and you're ready to start building more walls. Glad all you can do is post here.


It wasn't built by a reputable contractor if I recall and in its first year was mostly not operating at all and in the years since it has often been out of service.


I also can Google.


No you are 100% wrong in this case.  It has nothing to do with it.

Antisemitism is real problem.  Casual accusations of antisemitism, or allusions to antisemitism with no basis to them, trivialize the problem.

I have never questioned your integrity Thomas, and I am disappointed in your accusations.


Trudeau's transparent attempts to placate Islamic Canadians by jumping to use the 'terrorism' term in this case, yet hesitating to use the 'barbaric' term in reference to female genital mutilation and reflecting on 'root causes' after the Boston marathon bombing, speak to the character of a spineless vote-chaser bending to the breeze at every shift.


You're wrong. Your post is baseless and idiotic. But par for the course for almost all trump supporters at this point. Good job!


Read some comments and gave me some thoughts.  One person stated that maybe 30% of Calgary tops are Flames fans.  Guess it makes me wonder what % use the bike circle track, the LRT, the CPO, maybe the new Library or say benefit from the ring road.  Then yoi have the expensive pedestrian bridge over the Bow and those crazy expensive piles of outdoor art.  Many of these projects are very expensive, and are mostly on the city tab.  With the exception of the ring road; its multi payer funding and maybe higher useage, bet the other projects/things benefit less than 10% of the pop..each.  The mayor has it wrong, current funding in the NHL require more public sharing.  Want to be in the big leagues, well it cost money.  Calgary needs not only economic benefits, but also those intangibles....like being a big player.


You tell me how voting for Clinton is "meaningful"?  She is a war hawk, and untrustworthy.  In a Wikileaks email.  She tells her banker buddies at Goldman Sacs that it is important to have a Public face, and a private one.  You're gonna tell me to take her at her word?  Win or lose my Vote is for Stein, it isn't about backing the "winner"  it is about voting for someone you can stand behind and you agree with their hopes, and dreams.  There is Nothing about Clinton that I believe in or agree with.  Her only true desire is for more power, and use the Office of President to only gain more wealth and influence for herself.  Her platform is just words in the air, and will be long forgotten once elected.

If she win's we will all lose...same goes for Trump. It's a No win situation so might as well stand up for principle and have your voice heard. 2020 starts as soon as November 9th rolls around. If the Greens gain 5% they get federal backing (funds) and hopefully more credibility in 2020.


Tend to your knitting.

Well I know of someone else who is a rigid ideologue with a narcissistic personality and his name is Barack Hussein Obama. That man never had any business being the president of the United States.


I'm not a Hillery or Bernie supporter. Bernie got traction that's for sure, he had a lot of support. But what Hillery and the DNC did was beyond disgusting. She was picked and they made sure anyone else wasn't. Tell me what a democratic Saint she is. If Bernie supports vote for her... Sad


...or, in the words of the BC and federal justice systems:
"Move along. Move along. There's nothing to see here folks".

It's funny you say that, I have repeatedly reached out to all my representatives.  Lisa Murkowski, Bill Wielechowski (Senate) and Gabrielle Ledoux (House) and all of them have taken the time to respond to all of my questions and concerns.  But guess what elected official has never taken the time to respond to any of them, Governor Walker!  Thanks you PFD stealing and not cutting enough budget lazy politician.


Didn't he say that he could do the 'president" stuff part-time and still run his business?


Get rid of all DACA/illegals  students from our schools, those of you who support these students pay extra taxes in what you beleave in, leave the rest of out of your do Gooder problems without enough money so you steel from us.

All hail President Trump!
Good riddance to the terrible racist goon Obama, failed President with little legacy.


Jesus had problems those who believed they were sinless or the ones that think they are just, the priests and the Pharisees. He accepted ones you call the wicked or think they are sinners. I think you should read the Gospel of Jesus again. Jesus talks more about the Kingdom of God than anthing else. He is not referring to the RCC.


How dare the State hire anybody while hinting at possibly lowering our nearly one billion dollars of corporate welfare.

The combination of Trump’s ignorance and belligerence has worried U.S. and international nuclear experts from the start of his presidency.


The EPD didn't have a slam-dunk confession-type case so they just tossed the rape kit in the corner and went back to 'more important' cases.

How many more of these hundreds? thousands? of kits are the result of the same attitude around Oregon?


Hosing blood off a park bench from the previous night's carnage is now a metaphor for the new Anchorage.  With SB91 and Walker's plan to keep scum on the streets so the state doesn't have to pay to imprison them ... hosing blood off sites of the previous night's carnage will be a ritual to the way Anchorage starts most ever day in the future.


What experience did Obama have?


Hop on in, Mark!

What's one more in the clown car??


They don't need to develop much: what they do need are some sharp political skills so that they can better highlight their strengths and the weaknesses of the alt-right Kenney libertarians. The campaign begins the second the leader is chosen. Climate change is potentially a huge wedge issue that they can use to show up their opponents as Neanderthal Deniers; it is also crystal clear that it is the conservative's own culture of entitlement that created the mess that Notley inherited. Notley also has to make it clear that she is not responsible for low oil prices. Finally, Notley has to shore up strength in urban areas and northern alberta and not waste her time in southern alberta.


1) Sears pricing integrity was always an issue. Inflated regular prices and then fifty percent off - trust me they are still making a healthy profit.
2) Management down to the store manager are getting retention bonuses to stay on until the end. Front line staff are getting diddly squat. Sad.


Nicely written Robert Roth and 1000% on the money. No one with a fully functioning brain and any critical thinking skills at all believes our governments latest BS about Russian hacking ...so far Julian Assange has not shown himself to be a liar and Obama et al certainly have


So...hit a bump...too much springs in her seat cushion...go fly?


There is no other place worth mentioning. I'm happy other people know.


i have been to several in the past.  i found them to be 'scandalous' and a repudiation of all generosity and respect.  i will never go again.  there was absolutely no sense of concern and love for the women and families faced with the predicament of an unwanted/ life threatening/ or 'unable to provide for''' pregnancies.    i will never attend any '''so called pro-life''' meetings  again in my life

Listen to this.  This is all over Sajjan using 'the' instead of 'an'.  Disgraceful.


Did you happen to notice that the story was not talking about Winnipeg or Edmonton or Ottawa (where bike lanes are actually plowed in the winter rather than being places to pile snow).  It was talking primarily about Toronto and Vancouver, which have much milder climates and where you can ride (not quite as comfortably, perhaps) most of the winter with little snow.

Well I, for one, welcome you to Portland. I'm Mt. Tabor born and bred, and go back far enough to remember when Portland was a bit of a dump. People were leaving, taking their money, energy and brains with them. Now that the city is attracting those assets we once were losing, people are grousing about growth and change. Please. I was there. Portland is waaaaay better now than it ever was back in the 70s and 80s. But the dirty little secret is that most of the people moving to Portland are actually Oregonians, not Californians.


Was not meaning to correct you, just wanted to point out that there are such BIG rabbits.  When I was a youngun it went rabbiting every weekend and in summer often after school as well.  Usually dug them out, and always took em home.  Mum learned 101 ways to cook-stew-bake a rabbit.  BUT, if I had come across  one that big, I would have joined Lassie my red setter and skedaddled back home.  Did not know about the biggens until I read an article about one dying on its way to America from UK.  Seems that awful United Airlines put it in the cargo hold instead of the onboard overhead baggage compartments, although ICE probably killed it by ultra cooling (aka icing) the cargo hold under orders from President 46%.  On a lighter (not so heavy) note, it is reliably reported by Fox that Sessions is going to sue United for denying a fox such a big yummy meal and, because the rabbit was not skinned in time, PETA was denied the chance to decry the use of the fur for an Alaskan winter coat collar.


Exaggerations and lies, then turn the people against the media. That is the road to Fascism.


It is one thing to decide where to do business. It is quite another matter when you are refused service in a discriminatory manner.


And then there is the reality that the economy is not doing well when you look at an economic catastrophe in waiting with the prediction of deficit spending into the 30's and likely bringing federal government debt above a $trillion.  How does a long term, Japan-like stagnant economy reduce debt by deficit spending, and not come under the scrutiny of creditors?  This is what happens to Canadians in the same position, but not government?


But 43 looked the other way other way as illegal immigrants in the US rose from 8.6 million to 12.3. Where was the rule of law applied for employers illegally hiring the workers? When was the crackdown on those who made it possible for those coming to the US to have employment? The reality is that the number of illegal immigrants in the US was lowered under the Obama administration.

There was no such plane in the 50s.  Canada ended up using F104 Starfighters, high speed interceptors, in the ground attack role.


Why would any amount be too much?

Once you have citizenship, you're Canadian, period.

There are no grades of Canadians.


Typical treatment of a female trying to assert her right to not be molested by the males who are supposed to protect her.
Nice job folks. Way to teach her. a lesson.


dont forget all those locals who are buying to sell to the Chinese and those buying to only rent nightly on airbnb. multiplying the problem. Only solution is to tax foreign ownership to the point it is no longer worthwhile to hold or ban foreign ownership outright. It is what New Zealand will be implementing.


John Mcdowell you tossed in the towel, your message makes no sense, come to Florida and get some sunshine it may help you with your mental condition.
Maybe some sunlight will help you see the issue. Not one Alaskans ever drilled for oil and sold it for a profit, that a problem, right?
The majors suck you dry and you are sad, right? Still, John you offer no plan and keep your head in the sand and ignore the fact the Trans Alaska Pipeline is shutting down because no one has a plan to fill it with oil and make Alaska great again, right?
John wake up and find a way to get the Governor and Legislators allow Alaskans to drill and find it and sell it for a profit.
Wrap that around your keen mind and stop hating Americans from other states like Florida and stop spelling my name wrong like you are in grade school brat, grow up man and man up and drill an oil well and sell oil for a profit or stop your whining! I am trying to make Alaska productive and stop the big three monopoly in 2017, help!


Godwin's law will come into force shortly.


I corrected a comment that was giving a false impression of Trump's tweet. That's not supporting his comment, it's supporting accuracy and fairness.

I'm certainly arrogant enough to tell an individual here that their comment is lacking. But I won't tell the American people that collectively they made the wrong choice. It was their willingness to buck the established political order 250 years ago that made them a great nation. They could've stuck with the political elite of the day- the British monarchy- and likely they still would've been ok. But that's not the American way. I'm NOT saying Donald Trump is George Washington. Trump appalls me. What I'm saying is that I'll withhold judgment on the choice that America made. It's possible that consciously or unconsciously, they know what they need at this time.


How much will the city spend on or otherwise lose on the deal - I mean, what's this gonna cost us???


Did you learn some big words recently?


When you drain the swamp the contents have to go somewhere.  This is where it goes: Trumpland.


Sad way to think Luke.   You idolize a man that lies so much he is no longer insightful enough to distinguish his falsehoods from telling the truth.   Troubling as those followers suffer from cognitive dissonance to such a degree it must make their lives angry and incomplete (Gnothi Seauton).     And then because they need their world to be black and white, they demonize other countries efforts to improve.    China will beat us all when it comes to renewables, as they will just take the necessary steps (as they are already doing) while in the west (particularly N. America) we constantly need to fight the low information crowd to get anything done.


"Trump can't become an existential threat to democracy unless the other two branches of government let him."

Well he already has Congress in the bag. With Neil Gorsuch on the court and another die-hard conservative, there goes the third branch. Mission accomplished!


Dylan is the poet laureate of my generation.  At least among those of us who used to live out on highway 61.


Not as screamingly funny - or silly - as you continuing this tilting contest with windmills.

You are not the master poster, so get over it.


What a great story! Inspirational for many - women, entrepreneurs, Alaskans and others! It's nice to see the Alaskan spirit pull wonderful people back, too!


And then we would have the disaster that Charles Djou would have been in office. Maybe that is why the leg did like they did.


Yes, I'm sure blowing up and murdering 22 innocent people, including children had nothing to do with it. It must be Trump!


Agreed. I know folks who take their families on expensive vacations every year on points accrued on the job.

Those "14,000 jobs that already exist" are seasonal jobs lasting about two months out of the year. I know; I'm one of the commercial fishermen who fish Bristol Bay. I have a vested interest in a healthy fishery.
Jobs that might be created if a mine is developed would greatly benefit the thousands of people who live in the region year around. Unlike people like me who show up for a couple of months and then leave.
The Pebble Mine project deserves to be given the opportunity to demonstrate whether or not they can develop a mine that is also environmentally compatible with the area. To date, they have not been granted that opportunity.


SO- YOU'RE the headline writer at the RG!


Yes, and law enforcement and the DOC are responsible--and need to take their share of responsibility--for choosing to arrest this man, after which he had zero say in what was or was not done for and to him.  You arrest 'em, you buy 'em.   And yes, I am outraged by the fact that yet one more person died while in custody, when that death was likely entirely preventable.  If a mother treated her child and/or aged parent that way and they died as a result the state would be all over it with charges of negligence, depraved indifference to life, homicide, etc. why should this case be any different?


If he's paying for 2/3 of his campaign, that entitles him to saying he is paying for his own campaign in my book and I won't quibble with him on it.

Regarding the landslide voting comment, this editorial gives the wrong numbers.  It is not just more than 50% overall that determines a landslide.  If he gets 45% and the next highest candidate gets 20%, that is a landslide for him in my book.

As always, the media is desperately trying to tell us how to think.  We are tired of it.

There are some south pacific island nations, who are disappearing, under ocean water.

I think, that they might have, a different opinion, about global warming.


Well, The Donald said it wasn't true so......


Pediatric cancer research?  What exactly does this entail?


By the numbers, a LARGE portion of the people on the program are NOT just trying to make ends meet.  Anyone buying soda and junk food (20% of expenditures) or even cereal or most processed foods (very expensive by weight) is not trying to make ends meet.

Probably at least half the money is being sent on very discretionary items.  The reality is that people are poor because they make poor choices (their parents probably started them on that path), and when given resources they use those new resources poorly as well.


Why have they said it is then? Do they not hold all truth?


Our national climate policy will be to plug our ears and close our eyes. Might not be a smart idea.


While I agree with you that the 4J schools are suffering, I still wonder why you think it is unbelievable that 1 kid could be in the midst of controversy over their placement because a school leader declared that 4J is top notch. Did you take that as an iron-clad guarantee that something like this could never happen or rather as a vague declaration about meeting state standards on average?


That is an assessment, which appears to be you entire shtick. Why do you believe your personal assessments of personages, organizations, and other posters are worth sharing?


Bad optics indeed, when are these public servants going to wake up and realize who it is they're really working for ?   Did they really think that they were going to be able to sneak these pay raises by without someone catching wind of them ?


Wrong again!


The whole world is watching.


Someone, maybe Napoleon, said that history is lies agreed upon. If everyone agreed upon the history of the Confederacy and the Civil War, Landrieu's decision would have been easier.  Some people find the lies more palatable but fortunately the disagreement continues. Congratulations to the mayor for his courage in the face of what must be considerable opposition.

Before getting too smug about the Landrieus connections to the Church it would be good to recall that one of Louisiana's most notorious racist politicians, Leander Perez, was excommunicated for his resistance to desegregation.


This should be a given.


Harry Kim's inner thoughts: "I should have never ran again. I'm too old for this."   Somewhere off in the distance, the Billy Kenoi crowd chuckles.


This private-public partnership that you speak of...is it the all too familiar socialized capitalism that inevitably takes place? Tax breaks, credits and giveaways?


Ellis only got 3 months ?  Are you outright lying or don't you know the facts of the case ?   Given the complete and total facts in the case---the one's the victim's friends steadfastly refused to accept--how could he or the judge have done anything different ? Should they have ignored the facts and just gone along with those who wanted the girl hung ?  Remember them---the one's protesting outside the courthouse before the trial began trying to influence it's outcome ?  The one's seeking revenge .  Justice was done in that case an it's an outrage anyone can hold that outcome against the DA and judge who clearly did they're jobs.


Grasping at straws.  The government has been firm with parliament when they tried to call a Article 50 vote on it.

Here is the government's response:

"We will reject any attempt to undo the referendum result... to hold up the process unduly, or any attempt to keep Britain in the EU by the backdoor by those who didn't like the answer they were given on June 23.

The Conservative Government of Britain holds a majority in the Commons and can defeat any attempt to overrule the brexit vote.


If we listen  to people like Jack Mintz on this issue our children will all be living in caves!


I have been told Derek is very lucky to be alive. He was under water for three and a half minutes, and has a badly broken back. He, and the whole family need all the support we can give them. There is a go fund me page set up for his medical bills and family. Please contribute if you can.


The City General Plan is being reviewed now [take a look & provide some input].  Documents like these make a big difference in what may or may not happen in the future.  Of interest is at one point agricultural land was Ag 1 or Ag 2.  But the "splinters" have been at work.  There is Country zoning. Now there are important Ag land which means "What" about the future of the lands that are not with the important label.  And the "Boundry" lines that define potential for future land use changes.  Be maka'ala.  Nothing stays the same!  Have a zucchini day.


It many times appears so many want to talk but few are willing to try to listen.Once we listen it is important to hear.Maybe someday we will get there,God willing.


The Institute for the Sonorous and Mellifluous


I watched a spawning creek, home to three species of salmon, die.
The once active salmon spawning creek, that had flourished for as far back in living memory goes, 80 + years, runs through my property.
I was eye witness to the effects of the damage caused by people clueless about soil erosion caused by cutting down trees next to the creek and mistakes made by DOT that altered water flow, which compounded the problem of the aged culvert, causing flooding.
It was listed for replacement for over 15 years ago by A.F.&G. The culvert was finally finished off by a large tour vehicle that ran off the road and hung over the creek, causing the culvert to break off, making it impossible for the fish to pass.
The state salmon habitat man tried to help get the culvert replaced and has faithfully documented the progression of damage.
It's ironic, that my State House Rep. is the Chair of the House Fish and Game finance, has failed to follow through to get the culvert replaced and damage fixed.


"and incurred a record $160b in new debt in 5 years."

The record accumulation for debt was PET's last 3 back-to-back record deficits - and that was without the excuse of a GFC.


How arrogant to assume your shallow Fox News theology represents all evangelicals.


What about the Anchorage legislators who are living in Juneau houses they bought with their per diem money? When they are in Juneau they stay in homes they own and probably rent them out to others when they are not in session.


The series dealt with the number of "Unfounded" sexual assault cases, not about the ages of the victims. The only age-related aspect was the example case of "Ava," who was a young adult. The reason for that is obvious: publicizing a child's experience of reporting a sexual assault would be very difficult.

And what are your values? With so many children and youths begin sexually assaulted, why wouldn't you want a review of the matter to make sure that their complaints are being handled properly?


I always feel better when I eat my vegetables.


The confederate flag is or is not every bit as raciest as the Stars and Stripes.


Hillary, Hillary, Hillary -- has NOTHING to do with this topic. Try thinking in terms of the present.


Republicans continue their rabid pursuit of repealing obamacare, without a viable alternative, making it obvious that their only interest is in undoing anything related to obama.  Trump, meanwhile, is being his usual obnoxious, clueless self, pushing republicans to pass bills  that he knows nothing about.  Sad and pathetic!


Unequivocally, we have a lot of problems in this country and the first amendment does give them the right to protest, but there's a time and a place for everything. Whether they mean disrespect or not, their actions are offensive to a great many people who've paid the ultimate price to enable Americans of all colors, creeds, etc. to enjoy such liberties. If you've ever had a folded flag delivered to you (as my wife had when her father was killed in the service of his country) you might understand why the flag and anthem are held in such reverence. Many of the players have raised legitimate concerns, but unfortunately their messages are lost in the perceived vulgarity of their chosen method of protest.


The basic problem with the EU is that it is  "all or nothing".  Despite glaring problems,  they can not change, update, alter  or amend anything. Even when Islamic terrorism  causes unimaginable  bloodshed, they can do nothing about it.  The EU was become the poison of its own destruction.  The same happened with the USSR: they rigidly  refused to evolve communism  and collapsed under the weight of their  own failures.  They will stand by and watch the entire EU experiment collapse rather than do the smaller things necessary to save it.


I just can't resist:

"I disagree, but not with your point, but with the suggestion that it was uncivil. That’s a delightfully powerful way to put it, not uncivil at all. Civil doesn’t mean bland or boring. And look – yours is the highest rated. :)"   What are you, a cheerleader for Civil?  LOL


That said, prison guards must rank at the very top of the unhealthiest list.  Big and strong for nothing I guess since a little sniffle seems to make them whine like little girls and call in sick from their jobs so much.


Someone has a lot of faith in those elastic bands.


Very true,also keep the P.C OUT OF POWER.STAY LIBERAL.The NDP spend without a thought.


Fake News


Just who are those women who are obligated by their religious authorities to wear long black cloaks and garments to hide their bodies, and complex head coverings to hide their hair and necks?

Nuns.


Our public schools!


So let me get this straight.  Faux News interviews the guy whose organization published the information that the Russians hacked, who says that the Russians didn't supply the information, BUT he doesn't know who did,  And this is supposed to be the convincing counterargument to the unanimous findings of the US intelligence services who have spend weeks investigating?
Well we have always known that there was one media source that consistently lies, I guess this is just another example to add to the pile.


No thankyou, I will be growing my own.


You're wrong.  No she wouldn't be their candidate.   They pick their friends to run because it is a safe liberal seat.


Oh yeah, it was extremely confusing when Bombay became Mumbai. No one could find it on a map! Tourism plummeted!

Istanbul collapsed every time it became Constantinople!

New Amsterdam washed into the sea right after it was renamed! It is still a marshy abyss by the sea!


If Sloter keeps playing like he did last night, he makes the team. That's as much as he or we should expect. He didn't get enough reps in camp to take the backup slot.


With the exception of Mar-Su area, much of AK has been held back by high energy costs. Lower priced, cleaner burning natural gas made available by a state owned pipeline would benefit many of our citizens through lower energy prices, increased economic activity and cleaner air.
To those who say it's not economically feasible, I say you are looking at it from the perspective of big oil. A state owned line does not need to turn a profit, it only needs to cover costs. That makes NS gas much more competitive on the international market.
In short, a state owned gas line would benefit much of the state, could provide the state w additional revenue and could pay for itself.


Interestingly enough, not a peep about this at the other "NCR".  I wonder why???


A made-up poster thinks something with no evidence will happen. How adorable.


Complete dreck!


There are hundreds of thousands of qualified immigrants to Canada who are patiently waiting on lists for their chance to come to contribute to a new country. These people have paid a very high application fee and have followed the painfully slow process which Canada has set up.
Instead of trying to fast track the process for these qualified immigrants, we are accepting those who have already been turned down by the USA by the previous Obama administration as refugees and who have failed to return to their homelands.
We do not need law breakers and we certainly don't need to prioritize them over those potential Canadians who are prepared to follow our rules.


Well, if he is win, win, win, then maybe that will be good - he will persist until he does get a win, because he does not accept failure.
What we have now has some very serious problems, and I think it is rotten at its core.
Maybe it should be returned to the states.
That is how Canada's system was successfully started (starting with the provence of Saskatchewan, and subsequently encouraged by the Conservative government)
It is still a system of provincial plans.
And without the individual mandate which I think is pure evil - basically a tax on being alive.


Actually, Obama's approval rating dwarf's Trump's.


I thought this was a very appropriate letter to the editor yesterday...

Reconciliation

With U.S. President Barack Obama visiting Hiroshima earlier this year, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attending the Pearl Harbor memorial, these leaders are demonstrating how nations can set aside differences and work toward reconciliation (Japan’s Abe Offers ‘Everlasting Condolences’ At Pearl Harbor – Dec. 28).

There is no denying that each country made decisions in the past that resulted in countless deaths, but it is important to acknowledge and learn from the darkest parts of our history to truly move forward.

In the midst of political instability and turmoil in the Middle East and various parts of the world, reconciliation is needed now more then ever. It is refreshing to know that two of the world’s most powerful nations are looking to peacefully move past their differences.


When you move your arm you can feel air ? Think of different density water layers I could possibly replicate gravity with a helium balloon, candle and a clear box it all depends if helium is heavier than heat the balloon should drop as the lightest weight always goes up.

if you try push a helium balloon into a lighter or heavier substance it will force back to its centre, so by having 3 different weights it should centre and create "gravity"


They aren't being used in the right combination, ACfH. First off, these 'base level crimes' are treated as a waste of time by APD. The very ODD thing about this incident is that an officer was even THERE. Considering how often such incidents are ignore by APD, how long it even takes to get a dispatcher on the phone, the fact APD showed up for a 'base level crime' is astounding. That is where you START.

Past that, stop the catch-and-release policing for shoplifting, burglary, breaking into sheds, cars, storage areas. Stolen goods are used to buy drugs. Ramp up enforcement and punishment for those crimes, it will drop. Then target the Dealers for even worse, put some real teeth in taking them down. Makes it harder to get the drugs. Then find where the stolen goods are being stored or fenced, and hammer the merchandisers.

There's more to it of course, but that's a start. At the top is a bullet, which this perp got. The Officer did right, even if his aim was a bit off. More practice!


Maybe the city should allocate some land, similar to refugee camps in the Middle East, where all homeless people are required to move to (a tent city).  Homeless people found sleeping on the streets should be moved there and provide a tent for them.  The land should be away from the ocean.  The ocean breeze seem to attract the homeless.  Might be incentive for the able-bodied to seek employment or housing to avoid the camp.

I had quite a bit of advanced math, chemistry, and physics before I changed majors from Engineering to Business (Econ/Finance) when I returned from Nam.  I'm not ignorant on those subjects, nor am I ignorant on politics and the many ways people enrich themselves via government by conning the people.

You need to read up on that.  You're just a useful idiot.  You may think you know science, but you're weak on critical thinking for yourself, because it servers your financial self interests to not seek the truth.  Personally, I don't have a financial interest in it, other than needing this worldwide financial house of cards to stay up, because if it fails, nobody wins.

The economy is a far greater imperative than you're inept attempt to change the laws of the universe.


And second?


Looks like an old POS GMC or S10.


And this is going to set the record for fastest lawsuit under the 1st Amendment. Good job Kenai, you just cost your tax-payers thousands in legal fees.


I see we had our first pot store broken into already... (KTUU).


A few years ago the BC civil service had developed a serious employee morale problem - the result of constant cuts and a ruling class made up of political hacks and bullies. So the deputy ministers came up with a way to improve morale - they authorized directors and senior managers to give employees small gifts such as ball caps and sweater vests (purchased from the public service "store") as rewards for demonstrating good morale.

After an announcement about the big "roll out" of this amazing program the same brain trust sent out a notice to inform everyone who received this largess that they would need to claim a taxable benefit. Since doing the paperwork to claim a $7 ball cap as a taxable benefit is more hassle than the ball cap is worth the "rewards program" was viewed as punishment by anyone singled out as a recipient.

Needless to say, when the ruling class decide to tax the petty benefits given to small earners it can backfire badly. Let them eat cake?


In NS it's 100%


I did not miss your point.  You posted nothing about risky behavior or robbing banks.  All you posted was "weed gets another one". You need to read my OP again.  This time S-L-O-W-L-Y.  I did not blame the gun.  I said the homicide victim died from a gunshot wound.  BIG difference.  A gun is an inanimate object therefore it cannot kill by itself.


The pope said, it is "a false solution" to reduce the number of mouths to feed . . .  Huh? .

So every woman should pop out like 10 babies?

Ease-up there boy! Take a deep breath...... then exhale (don't wait 'till you turn blue).
First of all, there is NO scientific evidence to support the notion of AGW and GHGs were proved beyond the shadow of any doubt, to be nonexistent in 1856, by Eunice Foote.
All you have to support your delusion is meaningless opinion and irrelevant consensus.
The science was settled back in 1856, there are no GHGs, AGW is a fraud and CO2 is our best friend!

@Rick Tubania:  Wow!  Really mature of you Rick.  If that were true, then why is Caldwell campaigning so hard to stay in office and why is Djou leading in the polls?  Speak for yourself only.  Don't assume to be speaking for everyone else either.


Harper's government may have made the deal but that doesn't excuse Trudeau for letting it go through. He's borrowing up to $30B a year for his pet projects but he couldn't do the right thing here and pay a possible penalty? I don't buy it.


Correction, Fred Meyer is no longer a local business from Portland, Ore. It was bought several years ago by the large Kroger grocery store chain of Cincinnati, Ohio. Fred Meyer is in no way a small business.


Yea so wants your point?


What was she thinking?  Not! Why is she so full of hate?  She should have never commented in the first place.  My soldier son reminds me all the time that he chose this life and that if anything happens to him to always remember that he chose it.


I have never understood this partial retirement thing teachers seem to do. Not many careers out there where you can say to the boss, "I plan to scale back and work 50% of the time for the next 3 years". Thousands of young qualified and unemployed teachers who cannot enter the field because of this....strange arrangement.
Has nothing to do with the facelift....just a comment.


On the Sunday after the election, I moved from the Catholic Church in the Lincoln diocese to a United Church of Christ Church. I needed to be in a place where the progressive values which come from my relationship with Jesus could be lived out. Any progressive directions from Vatican II or Pope Francis are completely overwhelmed by the conservatives in the Lincoln diocese and in America generally. Fortunately, as the Church teaches, the Church of Christ can be found in "ecclesial communities," and they can offer sanctification and salvation. I think the fruit of my "ecclesial community" shows we are open to the Spirit's leading in a way many Catholic churches are prevented from being. Thank God for the Reformation!


😅😂😃
That sounds like a description of a politically correct identity politics commentary.

Thor may be a knuckle dragging conservative but he does have a brain, even if adversarial he is kind. Semantics are important, clear communication depend on good usage.


Scott Reid writes..."Even in the wretched, blasphemous pig circus that is the Trump White House – where decorum is routinely trampled and each day brings a fresh exploration of the bottom of human behaviour – what Mr. Trump’s swaggering, rooster-tongued communications director unleashed in his rant to The New Yorker was remarkable. It was remarkably stupid and ugly."

I don't think any of us no matter what our political persuasion could have got that past a jury of our commenting competing peers or the G & M politeness police...and yet it is such an apt description of the Trump House and its occupants!


Filson clothes are no longer made in Seattle.  They are made in Mexico.  I checked it out at the Prospector in Fairbanks.  Carharts and Pendelton shirts are also made in Mexico.

The article's author avoids mention of sexual abuse as a cause, but one can google up lots articles that mention sexual abuse as a major problem on many northern reserves, a problem that can lead to SUICIDE, a problem which is reportedly often hushed up, covered up, & not talked about in communities due to shame & stigma.

Betrayal by community members and relatives, a problem a victim feels does not get resolved, a problem they may not even feel able to discuss - and you have a recipe for suicide as seeming the only way out for abused kids.

There's likely way too much acceptance and tolerance in some native communities of both alcohol abuse and sexual abuse. Why aren't such communities instead declaring cultural war on behaviours so destructive to their own communities? Gov't programs can only go so far without community leaders and members being on board & committed to community healing, and not be in denial.


You're so wrong that all I can do is recommend that you go read some reliable information on the ACA.
The ACA was not intended to buy anyone's vote.
It was intended to provide health insurance for everyone and has succeeded w/17M so far.
The regressives healthcare plans are actually a healthcare plan.
It will take away health insurance from 32M people who had it before.
Great example from a Senate majority leader who received a free triple bypass in 2003 at taxpayers expense and now wants to screw everyone who paid his bill.
He got his, now you go get yours (if you can).


Yeah! She and Elizibeth Warren could host a seminar on high cheekbones and good indians vs. bad indians. Cash firewater bar!


In the olden days when my phone would ring, I had no idea who was calling. Sometimes it would be my boss calling me in to work. I always appreciated the extra money - heIl, I was happy to have a job - so I'd go to work.
The calls usually came as a result of a coworker calling in sick or some other unexpected vacancy. I was also willing to work longer hours. Time and a half pays better than time at home. I somehow managed to get my laundry and necessary shopping done. As I recall I even managed to have fun in my spare time.
I was always faithful to my employer and was rewarded every week with a paycheck and was usually given time off when I needed it - or wanted it.
The idea that employers are all ogres to be loathed has had a negative effect on worker produtivity, IMO.
It's too bad that more miserable, downtrodden, underpaid employees don't leave the heIl they're living and start their own businesses as Amber has done.


So you think the police should be running our justice system. I don't. You advocate for a police state. I don't. Please  provide valid support for your statement that the police "have to arrest the same deranged criminals three or four times per shift."


Well, Sean, any actual explanation for the censorship?


This was my point in reference to GBA's comment:
"It has no bearing on the average person what political leaning or belief system the person held. It doesn't represent the majority."

I reminded him that there have been various motivations and identities held by other mass murders. The fact this killer is an atheist is not a statement about atheism. I reminded him that I can lump in mass murders with almost any group of people, he questioned how that was possible so I reminded him.

I was precisely trying to stop the "this group is to blame" finger pointing that happens after any round of this carnage. I am sick and tired of the "of course this happened" vs "what a sad fluke" double standard people make based on a killer's identity and their affiliation with it.

You just read my examples and apparently came to the conclusion that "FishOrSpoon hates conservatives" for some reason.

I'm not going to assume you're illiterate like you think I am, but you are misunderstanding me.


Other than "the sky is falling" mantra what exactly does she propose to do to control climate change?


You are obviously unaware of how much Drumpf and the GOP's budget and tax plan ADD to the deficit. They have thrown all budgetary considerations out the window in favor of tax breaks for the wealthy.


It's good to see that Ted Sickinger is healthy and back at work, even if it is to resume his somewhat slanted reporting on PERS. One thing comes through clearly, and it should come through for all parties: Honesty is required to address the issues. Honesty is not easy when people are speaking strategically. My read: (1) Governor Brown is being honest about the "pension reform" proposal being hatched by some legislators. It is a diversion. It will not survive the scrutiny of the courts, and it it will not address the issue. The last such diversionary proposal, along with the dishonesty of the legislature, worsened the situation we face now. (2) Sen Courtney and Gov Brown must solve the problem they face about restructuring investment management. Reducing investment costs is a sure way to save, but not if investment is hobbled by the State's notoriously bad laws limiting contract decisions. (3) The voters need an honest account of the situation. Measure 97 at least addresses the issue.


Under what system of government are you talking about Smackx?


Perry's comments should have been run through the civil/uncivil police first.


Race of the sleazy teens who let this man die?  Sadly Trump is such a poor example to teens.  He demonstrates callousness, hatred, racism and ignorance as models to emulate.


We're all directing our animosity towards Caldwell when it should really be directed at OURSELVES.  We voted this crook in.  We listened to our unions and voted for who they told us too.  When the HFFA endorsed Caldwell it was only because of what they thought he could do for THEM, with no consideration about what he would do to our city.  Shame on us.


Nine deaths in one night ! How many addicts are living in Vancouver ? My condolences to the friends and family of these people .


The term taxed to death gathers new meaning.


Thank you.

An Americanism?


Mr Graves, I am afraid that you are comparing apples and oranges. You also blatantly ignore your own publications actions. Your publication hosts a political forum for each election and then post YOUR picks for each office. Bias. I do not  disapprove but, as you say, what is, is. Your local publication is not nearly the political machine which many news outlets have become. I do not believe that our local publications show anything like the bias I read in the bulk of news oriented publications these days. That in no way reduces the bias I do read in our national publications every single day.
  I would be more likely to again subscribe if local news did more in-depth and investigative reporting. That is reader preference, and more bias. When does bias become "fake news"? When those who write it intend to influence and shape accurate words to mean inaccurate things. To insinuate and to imply. Local media IS NOT the problem they lump as fake news. Even I will openly defend you on this.


When all someone can do is post an ad hominem attack you know you've won the argument.....


Well gee thanks Paul, but my mind gets all the exercise it needs. If your mind needs exercise, I recommend reading Frank's book so you'll understand what I'm talking about. Even middle-class people can learn.


Translation: It presents facts R.D. doesn't like to hear.


And you can bet the Federal Agents will check yours when they come by to chat with you about that unhinged post you wrote today wishing for their violent murders.

I can't believe you still have an account.


Won't happen. Scandinavian countries have high tax rates, yet people still become doctors, lawyers and industrialists. That's because limitless greed is not the only motive for working, and 5% of a great deal of money is still a great deal of money.

I don't get it.  Every bank and credit card company in the world has perfected a system for sending a security code by text to a phone for years.  But these guys can't figure out how to do it reliably?  I can only imagine how well the Hawaii specific parts of the application will work, if ever.

Maybe we should have a GET surcharge to pay for it.  THAT we know how to do well.


@DickRoskell......how is this possibly a threat to union jobs?....Caledon is a small community from a population perspective.....get a grip!


Yes, in Germany circa 1933


Perhaps. I make no secret of the fact that I don't care for Mr. Trump. I think he sought out the nations's highest office for the sake of his own ego and is, therefore, irresponsible.

But I will agree that all of us are prone to see those we dislike in the worst possible light. I'll reflect on that.


$63M + $9.45M foreign buyer tax
That's some serious Chang


So do you think that you're part of the reason for the disturbingly low respect for literal understanding about God and Christ?  Catholicism has been losing its children since Vatican II when the Church sought , ironically, to appeal to secularists.  The secularists are secular at heart, by definition having no interest in religion.  My question is whether the move towards secularism was intentional to destroy the Church?


Canadian officials will be there to  "access" the situation soon and report back on their findings and follow up with a detailed report. Based on this report further acessment may be necessary and another report may be prepared. At this point more meetings may be called and further accessments made. Meanwhile we are already in Mexico helping with earthquake relief and in the U.S. helping restore power. No closer to getting a U.N. Seat by helping stranded Canadians and no bragging rights.


When Port Angeles citizens are confronted with scary anti-F propaganda which references dozens of studies that allegedly show fluoridation causes harm, narrow it down.  Ask which one study they believe best proves fluoridation causes harm.

Any study presented will have one or more of these characteristics as any rational, educated, impartial individual will be able to confirm.
1) The study will have nothing to do with drinking optimally fluoridated water (OFW).
2) The study will deal with exposure to fluoride ions at far higher levels of exposure than found in OFW.  FOs seem not to recognize that any substance is a poison at high enough exposure levels – even water, oxygen, phosphorous, vitamins, caffeine, sodium, iodine, etc.
3) Actual conclusions have been distorted/misused/misstated to fit anti-F propaganda.
4) Conclusions will only be suggestion of a possible correlation without proper adjustment for other potential causes and they are proof of nothing.

So, no proof of anything.


"all Canadians" when is someone in the media going to tell the shiny pony that all cdns do not support him on anything, only 36% of the people who actually voted support him, he makes false statements about us and people follow him like sheep


I like the piles of pulp mill slag across the fence that the grass farmer will use to "lime" his fields,  to  raise the PH towards neutral from acid.  A nice addendum to a million dollar home.  Will provide green fields this spring.   If the farmer is using pulp mill slag,  which I don't think is permissible for human food crops,  you can bet he will get truck load after truck load of sewage sludge for fertilizer after the straw is baled off and removed,  and the summer drought hardens the ground.  LCDC symbiotic relationship:  grass seed farmers used as a human waste disposal site (and no runoff--wink--wink)  and a  place for the precipitate from the pulping process.  And farmer can't subdivide his land until the 1000 Fat Cats in Potland say so.  Or is that the 1000 Friends of Money?


No, it doesn't apply to "both" or "many" sides. None of the counterprotesters had rifles. There were no organized student militias. False equivalence is the standard lame excuse of the right, which is being increasingly denounced on "many sides," even by Republicans, some whom now feign shock at the Frankenstein they have created.


Good riddance. He destroyed his working relationship with every pharmacy in Anchorage and likely the rest of Southcentral Alaska too. With nowhere for his patients to fill their prescriptions, his business model ceased to function. All that was left for him to do was to throw in the towel for damage control. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Doc.


The world will be a less happy place without Frank.
A loyal co-worker, union brother and friend. Frank was a brother I never had.  If you had a project, no matter how hard, Frank was there to help.  He was the guy who would mow the neighbor's lawn with no expectations of thanks.  Frank fits all the descriptions of real friends.  He was a people person and very social.
Frank was true to his ethnic heritage-Croatian.  Like most Aberdeen Croatians Frank had roots in the Nerevta Valley of Croatia, home to Matich, Bebich, Manenica, Celich, Vekich and Franich families all kinsmen. Frank liked to say we were just Serbs who had been lucky to escape the Turks- We would tease back Frank about being an "old country Croat without ever being to the old country...
Frank loved his cars and like his Dad was handy.
Frank was loyal to his family and loved his sister Jean's
kids and their friends and spoke of them often.  They gave him joy.
He never stopped loving his son, Andrew.
We will remember you.


Wielding a baton or throwing chairs, tables, bottles and pint glasses at terrorists will do if you have nothing else but bare hands, but a Boer War era Webley Mk IV .455 caliber revolver might have proved right handy to some of the victims who were injured or slain with knives.  Pity your average British subject relinquished the right to keep one as a handy defensive weapon since 1997.


Well at least they are educated enough to articulate their position and not degrade others for doing so. I mean I hope that don't tread on me sticker on your car doesn't get you fired. I mean you do represent your company at all times, right?


Well, Mike I don't think you would or do pay much in taxes let alone the over 40% the Scandinavians do! Quality of life, I don't see that many people wanting to immigrate to Scandinavia more then the USA!
Like they said I will give anyone a hand UP not a hand OUT!


Your version of empowering police is to authorize them to commit crime to solve crime. About this empowering business, do Denver police not have the ability to arrest people? Do they not have badges and guns? You need a citation to a reliable source that will inform the reader that it's okay to rob banks today because the cops are hamstrung and aren't allowed to arrest people. Are the local jails empty?


Not like it is a surprise
we knew higher rates would come one day
but human greed - prospect of rising house prices making you paper rich
we ignored the writing on the wall

so you gambled and will lose


Britain keeps a good housing health stat - the number of months spent as a renter before becoming an owner, and the amount of cash thrown out the window as a result of being a renter. That's money that should have gone towards your home. With Canadian governments non-chalantly destroying lives willy nilly with idiotic housing policy and the lack of a national housing ownership strategy, citizens have to organize to change the field. Government doesn't know what  it is doing.


Umm, maybe not:

"..Developing diabetes while already serving in the military, however, is not automatic grounds for separation (retirement) from the military. Several hundred service members (out of more than 1.4 million currently serving) are diagnosed with diabetes each year. Between 1997 and 2007, fewer than 6% of diabetes diagnoses were Type 1 diabetes, 80% were Type 2 diabetes, and the remaining 14% were not consistently reported as either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. .."

Exactly WHO are these "gun controllers" you speak of?  Do they walk among us like living people? or do you just see them in your dreams/hallucinations?


64BrainCells, your comment is FAKE, the record high has been all over the news media, however...
the stock market did NOT close above 22,000
the Dow Jones Industrial Average which is an index of only 30 stocks, closed above 22,000
the US stock market consists of ~ 4,000 stocks; repeat - that "stock market" didn't close > 22K
BTW, that DJIA you now know of hit all-time highs 30 of the last 54 months & more than 100 times under Obama since 2013


It seems silly that 'filberts' were called 'hazelnuts' until a group decided the name honored a city in Russia.  Remember 'Freedom Fries' when some politicians were mad at France?  Let's keep the place names, and use them as a way to remember the history of our great nation.


Jade could you had in that Obama was also a leader who confronted opposition with grace, took criticism with grace, and served as an example of what presidential really means.

That would require no modification of your summary of Trump.


If it was based on principles why did she vote different in 2015? The truth is you are a Dem.


Right.
Continue shoveling billions to oil co's, ....paying them to take our valuable and finite oil away... As they exclude Alaskans.
 Enough of this baloney.
Hammond's philosophy on oil taxes:  impose a 99% production tax, and gradually lower it...until we get the desired behavior.


Post of the day...


That is complete and utter nonsense. The AP, CNN, SA, all the mainstream media will tell you this. The mainstream is run by liberals whose only job is to turn the people against the GOP. They will skirt the truth, skew the truth, tell only part of the truth so that we as citizens become brain-washed until you think like a liberal. Open your mind to the whole and objective truth.


We could stand to have some common sense in this country. This is the wrong direction to go.


Bullocks.

1. In areas and times of extreme climate, nuclear power plants are regularly shut down because of the dangers they pose. In France the heat waves of 2003 and 2006 saw shut downs of the reactors (because of a low flow of water in the rivers for cooling) - just at a time when more energy was needed to make living spaces livable for people sensitive (elderly folks) to high heat. We're headed towards more volatile climates.

2. Nuclear reactors are regularly kept running way beyond their "best by" date, increasing the threats those reactors pose to their environments - and particularly human life.

3. Nuclear power relies on a steady stream of uranium being available for mining. The process of uranium mining is extractive and environmentally destructive. Sure, the power plant is clean, but what it needs to run isn't. Additionally, the US only mines 3% of the world's uranium.

etc etc

Nuclear isn't the panacea the nuclear industry would want you to think it is.


"heavily vetted"?  You mean like having to show a valid ID, answering questions truthfully under the threat of a felony prosecution, and submitting yourself to a criminal background check?  I'm surprised that you don't think that is enough when you don't even think someone should have to show an ID to exercise another constitutional right such as voting.


Now they're attacking Betsy DeVos.


I think more than likely he's running from the anti-Trump forces (aka the corrupt establishment). Think about it. Who can dispute his claim, if he's dead?


I imagine that would be quite telling. From time I've spent tutoring kids from poor families, I can tell you they eat terribly. However, at least part of that is food education. I would look at income levels and education levels and compare each and both of those to obesity rates.


His 'conservatism is defined by the most effective method in juggling shekels, slow and steady progressive cultural marxism rather than the rapid acceleration of Weimar germany.
And of course, a devout zealout in espousing anti-white "don't be angry with your erasure from this Earth white man, we're all the human race". Controlled opposition, or perhaps vintage Jewish parasitim and corruption of the goyim. Can't forget the hypocrisy either. Israel is our greatest ally of course. I'm Ben Shapiro, and I support the Jewish blood and soil #Ethnostate of Israel.

It's getting boring these days. You rats don't even bother trying to disguise yourselves.

Ben Shapiro is a walking talking stereotypical Jew, so over the top you might think he's a satirical comedy act.
The founders and puppeteers of antifa are Jewish, along with much of the leaders at the actual protests.

Even the author of this article is Jewish.

Oregon is at number 10 and when one starts comparing the numbers and adjusting for differences, Oregon's placing goes up.  So what are we left with?  OCPP's and your claim is dubious and arguable at best.  8 November will be here soon enough to settle M97.  We can all then start posting about the next tax raise.


Great to have this problem child off the streets.


Of course the money in a TFSA or any investment vehicle is an asset and will be subject to asset inflation.

The wealthier you are the more assets you have hence the effect of asset inflation is greater.


"RCMP say 21 people arrested for illegally crossing border at Manitoba town"

LOL
And to a person, from the PM on down, America trying to deport illegal immigrants who commit felonies is used by Canada to  contrast itself with racist U.S.


Looks like we are headed to another epic stalemate between the House and Senate. Multiple special sessions and numerous Governors vetoes in the offing. Oh joy!


HA! Sorry..now you may know a little bit about how the people up north feel by being totally ripped  off by RTD. We were promised rail service and paid taxes to get it, and got nada..and never will. RTD is a corrupt business and I'm sick of paying extra on my utility bill for them.


So far your prediction is DOA. Obama's approval was pushing 60% at the end of his term. Trump's at 43%.


50%?  you easily get it BEFORE exchange.

Rumor has it Uncle Ho of North Korea is offering a free water buffalo rice patty to work where you freely mumble away with the like minded. Might be an option?


yeah that will certain give him a chance a a productive adutlhood


Runaway?


I don't remember the incident, but I wouldn't assume Williams is racist from that incident alone (maybe there's more).    Lot's of people did not like Obama pushing the boundaries of executive orders.    A guy like Williams is more anti-government and dislikes government power over his personal decisions.    Hitler is a sign of authority and control and really represents an amalgam of sins, the symbol of all things evil.        Williams may be racist, but I don't see the comparison to Hitler being motivated by race?   I could be wrong, only Williams knows for sure.


Well, it shows the occupiers ingratitude toward the Feds: those Indians didn't kill themselves, it took exactly the sort of  federal power they profess to hate to get them (and us)  any kind of exclusive access to that land.


It's their best decision all year.


I try not to bait.   I may try to spear somebody, maybe fish with dynamite, but I don't use bait!    Overall, very few people really anger me anymore.  I'm learning to ignore the worm.

 You've worked in mediation of some sort in the past I assume. Done well, the odds are pretty good that you get an acceptable resolution from all parties.    American politics is not mediation, it's a knife fight - sadly there's no third party mediation to stop the damage, (and too much $ at stake)

It's why on this site, you see I try to observe a bit of human nature that goes beyond just the political issue.  I'm looking for common ground in some basic human traits.

No escaping that emotions affect our decisions!   Balancing emotion with intellect is tough.   I've made mistakes on both ends of that spectrum.


Though I have a strong opinion as a sexual assault team trained Nurse  (trained in Fairbanks actually by the best Alaskan agency and instructors I believe after visiting other programs in lower 48)....remember the article states child and village cases will not change.


You might want to read the Patriot Act.  Your assumptions are a bit naive and dated.


Yeah, that's the ticket Lars.....codifying slavery was already tryed in this country.


Vec has the mayors goo all over his face


One of my favorite stories.


And I was foolish enough to think an Alaskan could have a civil conversation about SB 91--prison reform bill--without diving head/butt first into "you are taking my PFD".  Not to be!


Are you there? If not, how do you know?


You mean all those large crowds packed with the PM Youth Council, asking him questions he has been trained to answer.
Funny how the same faces appear from town to town?!
For a small fee I can get you a great deal on some oceanfront property in Colorado - cheap!


How could any of us be surprised for most of us on this very forum posted that something was going to APPEAR... and Bowlen would skate Scott free! Unbelievable, isn't it? Incredulous how this wealthy low life could beat the rap! Just hoping he doesn't kill or injure someone... next time... and you can bet there will be a next time! That's  why the greasy attorney  is on permanent retainer to the Broncos and Bowlen family.


Girls 'wanna have fun'!


And you think that this guy should remain as the nation's top law enforcement officer.

Your ethics are definitely different from mine.


I remember when Bush was first elected, (also without a mandate and without having won the popular vote), how some people (The Dixie Chicks in a performance abroad) proclaimed how embarrassed they were; that Bush was not their president. It seems the same was done when Obama was first elected. Now we have Trump and we get more of the same.
I wonder how much of this is due to a couple of coddled generations; those who got "participation trophies" so they wouldn't have to learn to deal with disappointment, or worse yet, losing.


It seems that the new motto for this liberal group is "Bend over and touch your toes and we'll show you where the wild goose goes.


This theme would be easier to accept if the reader abandoned any thought of "news" and, instead, thought "blog".


I am just thankful that Crooked Hillary didn't win. Election night in the US was truly one of the most enjoyable evenings of TV I have experienced


Why should we factor in emissions being exported by Kinder? Do we add to our emissions calculations all products that have been imported? Do we calculate emission levels of fruit being shipped to Canada, the computer you're using, the clothes you're wearing?

Tell us how efficiencies will increase when we're taking billions out of the economy? What this low (your word) carbon tax will be spent on? What projects are planned and what measurable effect will they have on climate, nationally and globally? If we meet our Paris objectives, will the tax disappear?

A few green members would be as useful as the federal one we have now.


What makes you think I would not have even greater disagreements and fill with greater frustration from joining a Protestant congregation? That would be true, by the way; those are worse fits for me. When you say "just leave," it is like you are stamping out ants on your kitchen counter.


The rise of ISIS was due to Assad? It had nothing to do with the US retreat from Iraq with even a minimum stabilizing force? Is Saunders truly this blinded by subjective ignorance? His progressive agenda is clearly having difficulty in reconciling the reality of Iraq since Obama took power. I'm sure the Globe still has some editorials congratulating Obama on "doing more with less" in Iraq. Syria, Iraq, and Yemen are the battlegrounds of a multi-state sectarian war between Sunni and Shia that also has major geo-political energy implications in terms of the flow of oil and gas to Europe and Asia from the Middle East. Saunders has consistently demonstrated an ability to skew objective fact to fit a personal subjective bias and this article is no exception. Who are the "moderate" rebels? Are they just like the "moderate" rebels in Libya that turned out to be rabid Islamists?


I am less worried about actual income problems as to medical needs, even with required medical tests. CPP and OAS would generally not apply to this group.

From: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/pgp-apply-who.asp
"When you sponsor a parent or grandparent to become a permanent resident of Canada, you must promise to support that person and their dependants financially. Therefore, you have to meet certain income requirements. If you have previously sponsored relatives who later turned to the Canadian government for financial assistance, you may not be allowed to sponsor another person."


If this is truly how you feel, why wait? I assure you, the rest of Canada would not be sad to see you go. Leave this country to those who continually want to make Canada stronger and better regardless of political affiliation.


Yep, borrow more money to fund drug use.  How low can she go?


As usual you spout off without any facts. Read the news lately? I guess not.


Donald is clean as far as his team leaking....BUT, he needs to make some heads roll and get rid of the Obama sycophants still in prominent positions in government. The deep state has it's head deep up it's ......


Jade: I've studied anatomy and the nervous system, and a "smarting" butt does not always result in a smarter brain.
