"No new taxes will be levied to fund this", which means ( but not said) that it will simply be added to the national debt. When we are already $5 trillion in debt, $500 million more is nothing.


Sure does sound like a Caldwell Banker insider deal to keep Kealoha quiet...

And like rail, the City mayor can't do anything in an honest and straight forward way. So many webs of deceit and underhanded backdoor deals that have become typical of how Honolulu government runs. May require another FBI investigation.


You sad little liar.


I was talking about the mindset Gudagook displays that led to our current political situation, not debating him so there is no misdirection.  I presented no opinion on any candidate.  But, here's some fact.
Iraq SOFA, not so clear-cut: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.%E2%80%93Iraq_Status_of_Forces_Agreement
Soviet Union demise engineered by tough guy Reagan, military buildup (massive debt, broken economy), not so much:  http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/2732
Obama inherited and presides over conservative economic disaster and in spite of obstructionist Congress it's slowly improving.
China:  American corporations closed American factories and moved them to China or bought from Chinese factories.  China has moved away from economic Communism but not the social controls.  Americans, once again, get shafted.
Venezuela:  Chavez used petro profits to prop up his regime with popular programs, global capitalism, not Socialism, killed oil prices, Venezuelan economy collapsed.


No.No.No. You've got it all wrong.  It was the white nationalist terrorists who are solely to blame. It really cannot be any other way.  These are ignorant, hateful and violent people who incite violence and mayhem.  No place for this in America.  Kudos for those who stood up to them.  I'd rather have seen them stand on the sidelines and laugh at them for their ridiculous views but the only ones to blame are those that started it.


"They obviously felt threatened..."
Yeah, that's a given, but at no time did they actually defend themselves. Perhaps you'll blame the "liberal" Denver Post for not reporting they actually saw the shooter.

Really? So the sky's the limit, no middle ground?  No restrictions is a reasonable policy? Why not machine guns? How about a nuclear bomb?


I stopped getting treated like that when I met it with grace and courage in the face. Now I expect to get treated like a human being. And, like you, I call first. That way I can decide whether I want to spend my hard earned cash there.

I work in the hardware industry. I'll be sharing this with our managers. Thank you!!


You can pass as many sharia laws as you want , My family did no fight in wars for the kind of Treatment Trudeau is exposing Canadians to.


BREAKING NEWS ON trump and Putin:

screw rip off hawaiian


More excellent photos!

You can almost hear Janis Joplin: " Come on! Come on!...."

Thank you!


Either the people were lied to on the cost of the City Hall or the  City Council are a bunch of imbeciles.  Forgive me for being blunt


Political stupidity and suicide, soon to be forgotten.


I agree but remember we are a free nation and they can pray what ever they wish. The same goes for Muslims, Jews, Budhists, Hindus, Etc so long as you're not harming others. A verrrry small and highly publicized "Christian" church advocates terrible garbage. That's not the same as a global religion with a HUGE radicalism problem. To say otherwise is intellectually dishonest.


What do the grasshoppers have to say about that?


Who?


Well, this story is about the N.K. portion, so why would it touch on that?  That's either part of a broader story on his speech or a more focused one.

I certainly don't remember "The Dems and the liberal media" championing socialism in Venezuela, sure a few here and a few there did.  But let's not pretend that Venezuela is really a socialist nation, it's a dictatorship with and economy based almost entirely on one source of income.


Can get monthly costs (after mortgage and savings which will not be there post-retirement) down to about $3k by cutting cell and transport bills in half, and cutting some from vacation and dining. Would still have a more-than-decent standard of living. This will help raise savings by age 65 closer to $300k. So then, $15k per year from government programs, say $12k from income on savings and slow partial drawdown. . . then work a few hours per week at the garden centre or something to cover the gap. But do NOT buy a new car and especially do not finance one. Lightly used for cash. And sorry no cabin. But on the whole it's not a terrible picture.( Shame about the lost decade though--it was a good one for investors.)


HB 1850 allows illegal operators to cheat and hide. I can advertise on a broker's website and direct bookings to another venue. I can even accept cash at a discount once you call me. I am sure the broker does not like that but it is to much work to enforce and enforcement is not their business. They get a cut that is acceptable to them and it is much more difficult to catch cheaters because identities are hidden. Act 204 (which is law), if enforced, allows the State to audit scofflaws that are suspected of cheating. Remember, the State Income Tax is connected to the GET and TAT taxes. HB 1850 allows unscrupulous operators to be invisible. If I do not have to divulge my  GET or TAT, all reporting is voluntary. If HB 1850 is signed into law, tax revenues will fall. If Act 204 is enforced, tax revenues will rise. HB 1850 will do more harm than good. VETO.
The issue of allowing resort activities in residential neighborhoods is another discussion that is not relevant to this TAX law.


Bizarro indeed. Was this author paid by Russians to downplay Russian meddling, do you think? Or is he just another Trump advocate sounding like Russian propaganda.

He writes, as if it's a simple truth, "it all did not affect the outcome?" How would he know that? Is it so because Donald Trump says it's so? Serious investigations are far from finished, right? Isn't that question still unanswered?

When did Russian propaganda become patriotic? Oh, that's right ... it's when those things became Donald Trump lies. And millions of lemmings believe them.


Both the Greeks & Romans had slaves. Are those statues next?


Yeah, giving blacks civil rights was a huge mistake./s


That is a remarkably ideological response. I can point to quite a few examples of "bullying" and name-calling by Clinton and  her supporters during this campaign and afterwards. Apparently, when Clinton and her supporters throw baseless accusations and insults around and use derogatory terms to unfairly label millions of people they don't know, they are just expressing their right to free speech, but when Trump supporters respond to these attacks and provocations, even in thoughtful and articulate ways, they are simply being bullies... This is a ridiculous and self-serving double standard. There are quite a few articulate and well educated Trump supporters out there, and many good people who supported Trump who do not deserve the condescending disdain of certain Clinton backers, who have appointed themselves as part of some sort of imaginary "elite", even though in many cases they don't seem to have any particularly great qualifications and likely couldn't run a lemonade stand.


Generally, those of us who "have no clue who is running for those offices" are not paying attention.  Jim Berrios, Dana Ralph and Elizabeth Albertson have been active in Kent for years, and have all been quite consistent in their approach and priorities, so  I doubt I will be much surprised by them at this event.    This will be an opportunity for Andrew Swansen to introduce himself to the portion of Kent that pays attention to this sort of thing (a decreasing fraction, I am afraid).


No body cares about Fairbanks or Anchorage.


how do you tell truth from false?  Oh, what you agree with is true, and what you disagree with is false?  Wow.  So simple.  Wish real life was like that.  I would never have to think again.


Having an observant  Jewish son-in-law with numerous trips to Israel over the years and whose wife, Ivanka (Trump) Kushner converted to Judaism prior to their marriage, means that Trump probably doesn't need to 'suck up' quite as much as you might believe.

Kushner's donations and Israeli projects are worth millions of dollars; and he and Trump met with Netanyahu back in September, so this is hardly a new big revelation.

(I do wonder how Kushner and that supposedly virulent anti-Semite Bannon do on the transition team.)


I can't speak for others, but I have.  That is why I am not against the death penalty.

I have never understood this propensity certain people have to feel more compassion for a criminal than the victims.


Concerned Dad in LW1...  In your home, you set the rules and your BIL should respect your "no guns allowed" rule.  Outside your home, your BIL is free to do as he pleases and you have no say in the matter.  If it bothers you that much, you're free to keep your kids away from your BIL.

If it's the sight of the scary gun that bothers you, perhaps you and your BIL could compromise and he could carry concealed while around you.

And just FYI, your children are far more likely to be injured while riding in your car than by your BIL's firearm.


South Side Chicago is a dump. His library would add nicely to the ambience of the area. Thank goodness it won't take up valuable real estate in Hawaii and mar the  beauty of this place. Leave that to the elevated rail.


"I`m real close to Senator Meyer..." as he took the money from Bill Allen....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJh9yco8EjQ


It's going to be much much harder than Suttner thinks. For a start, the corruption goes far further back than the Zuma presidency. The theft proved by the A-G - which I have seen others claim to be two or three times as big - is around a trillion rand from 20 plus years in power. This therefore suggests a lot more of his ANC chommies are complicit. The fish rots from the head. Of far further consequence is the damage to a generation of poor youngsters who would be unemployable even if there were any jobs thx to a useless education.   That money was stolen from them, and should be recovered from those trough-snouting mates of his. Some suggestions:

1. The constitution must be changed to remove or reduce the nepotistic effects of the Proportional Representation system that Zuma et al have abused.

2. Treason trials should be held to punish the thieves (and anti-white racists) who have stolen.

3. Create a government of national unity for as long as it takes to clear the Zupta mess.


Fascinating narrative.


Maternity leave, yes.
But also important is convincing young men from our own communities to enter education in their communities.
Sorry to say, but there is a great gender imbalance in public schools, and no one seems to think that's an issue.
C'mon, Corey Rosenlee. Put that on the HSTA's recruitment agenda, too.

All this may be true, but WigAndFakeNose is correct that the Globe is oblivious to its own bias regarding the US.  Your post is an ad hominem deflection.


Cite your references that our bodies are not ours.  I can cite my references that our bodies are gifts to us by God.  They are NOT on LOAN to us [as if God would recycle them and give them to somebody else].  In Sacred Scripture, we are told that God will raise our 'mortal bodies' and we will be resurrected.

From the Letter to the Philippians [3:20-21]

Brothers and sisters;
Our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ.
he will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified Body
by the power that enables him also to bring all things into
subjection to himself.

Maybe we should try the accused in (a)social media, rather than the courts. Wouldn't that save us some bucks? And when they are convicted, ship them off to some country where they have a labor shortage. Get the country to pay for the shipping. Yay! Free Justice.


way to go Mike MIller. Juneau to Deanli a great adventure. Really enjoyed your Emmerich video. Keep on getting it done. The road is a stupid idea that will only increase the cost for locals that presently use the ferry.


My comments about Trudeau most certainly will not meet civility standards.


Smart move by Bennet. He realized that the Democrats have no leadership and no good candidates to run in 2020, so he jumped on the health care soapbox to get more national exposure. Bennet is from "a cool state" and is relatively young (52) compared to the dinosaurs that run the Democrat party these days: Pelosi (77), Schumer (66), Warren (68), and Sanders (75). Bennet and his calm demeanor wouldn't be a bad choice to run against the loud and obnoxious Trump.


Trudeau will survive this alright as, unfortunately, Canadians are amongst the most dumbed down on the earth thanks to no real media other than his lapdogs.


This article gets Trump supporters overly excited.


Where on earth did you find that list of "chairs"?   Seems like a fake news source.

Its current chairperson --  Anastasia Crickley -- is an Irish woman who has spent much of her life defending the rights of the Roma/ “gypsies”/ Travellers, and women.
Nicolás Marugán, Committee Expert and Country Rapporteur for Canada, is from Spain.

The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by its State parties.

Thanks for the whitespanation.


A $500,000 mortgage is middle class? I don't think so!


With today's law that will not serve any time in jail....simply pitiful.  They have probably cost Anchorage/Eagle River residents thousands and thousands of dollars.  Just pitiful!!!!!!


The combination of pent-up supply (re-listings from Q2-Q3 that did not sell the first time), OFSI's B-20 changes (reduction of credit availability), and more BoC rate hikes, are very likely to impact the GTA market for months yet.  Best case is stagnation, but possibly another sharp leg down.


Hirono said this is the most citizen outreach to her office she’s seen. Because you do not accept protext and resistance. Hawaii say don't tal stink, there fore you have never seen citizen outreach. When I reached out to you you told me to shut up.


Couple other things to consider when comparing the Kia Sedona and the Dodge Caravan. First, the Dodge comes with a 3 year standard warranty vs Kia's 5 year standard. Second, Caravan still gets rear torsion beam for suspension and the Sedona uses rear multi-link for a much smoother ride especially on gravel/bumpy roads. I bought my first minivan this year and did a lot of comparison, the stow-n-go seats are superior to Kias slide-n-stow but it's a limitation I was willing to overlook.


G2: I enjoy humor and puns can be a genuine source of such humor.  I did find your pun: "And those four most-dreaded letters in the English language: cont. They're not just hated by women anymore." to be in poor taste.  Puns don't bother me at all.  Tasteless puns employing slang terms for the female genitilia do bother me.  Perhaps you might save them to share with Donald Trump and Anthony Scaramucci, I'm sure they'd enjoy them.  Gary Crum


I'm actually surprised that nobody's trotted out "Trumpgate", considering that they did try to use the equally clunky name "Trumpcare". Say what you want about "Obamacare," it does roll easily off the tongue.

Editorials are opinion, not news, so I don't mind the use of these sorts of terms there. They give you guideposts as to the slant of the author. However, I agree that such terms have no place at all in actual news reporting.


Since when is a person with Ms. Khan's skin colour brown?
She does not look any different than my Greek husband.


USFWS was going to just list the  plover,  due to a census of 100+- birds on Oregon and Washington coasts.  There were interior birds living on the fringes of alkaline lakes in SE Oregon.  And a more robust population in CA,  a preponderance using the margins of south SF Bay salt evaporation ponds which were scheduled for abandonment.  No hearings,  no public meeting,  just a bureaucratic process in Sacramento.  I petitioned,  as allowed in the law,  to have a hearing at Hatfield Marine Science Center.  From that came the input about Oregon's beach being public, the threats from beach grass and predators,  plus innocent  human depredation with dogs off the leash on breeding beaches.  Recreationists had to be a part of the solution,  with no immunity to being part of the problem.  Now that there are six times the number of birds,  the plover recovery has been a rewarding process for Oregonians.  The beaches are still public and only seasonally restricted for plovers,  on short sections.


If there were the same outrage over an Apple plant as has been spilled on this factory (because Ivanka Trump) then it would be a strawman.  But the isn't and it isn't.  It is merely another attempt to try and slam, slander and poison public opinion about Trump because certain leftists don't like him.  Character assassination (as this article commits) is even less nice a trait to engage in.


There are many economies that survive without a Navy base on them.  Take San Juan county.

It is one thing to get a base, but then to support increases that reduce quality of life for citizens who live around the base is placing money from the federal government over quality of life.

I do understand that a whole economy on the north end has grown up to be dependent on federal dollars for survival.  It's not like other manufacturing jobs rose up with the Navy - just big box retail stores and city and county government.

Island county should be trying to attract some time of private industry instead of begging the U.S. Government for more from one source of income.


It is what happens when Liberals manage your stuff


Hire her then.

However, given your name and what you post, you probably only have experience signing the back of a paycheck.


If the leg comes through, then we're over the hump. The feds should be releasing over a billion dollars they've withheld from HART to complete rail. Here's what Councilman Manahan says...

"On June 7, the Council secured the six votes required by the City Charter to support the [350 million dollar] bond issuance. Our actions signaled our commitment to our partners in the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the state Legislature that the city strongly supports the completion of the 20-mile, 21-station route from East Kapolei to Ala Moana."


The real headline should read, the insane and intolerant are now running the asylum!


This Savage murdered my cousin in cold blood. He deserves far worse than what he's getting.


Any qualifying Canadian, regardless of their parents' means, can go to RMC for a "free" education that they pay back by five years of subsequent military service.  Are you saying his 5 year pay-back service somehow doesn't count?


If a drunk cannot consent, then no one with a DUI charge is guilty of willing themselves to drive. If you insist that the drunk drivers are culpable for their impaired decisions, then this judge ruled correctly.


Way too many Amy's got a gun running around.  If APD doesn't arrest this shooter, than our community is in trouble with vigilanteism.  The shooter is lucky she didn't kill an innocent bystander(s).  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Here come the ammosexuals to the rescue.


Reminds me of McCarthyism. It is what happens when the mob starts to dictate the rules driven to their frenzy by the media.


For one, I'd like to hear why Umbrella Properties were so quick to issue an eviction notice to Nielsen's disabled uncle only hours after the shooting.  Seems to me that the uncle was made a victim four times....once when his nephew came in, again when held at gunpoint, another when his nephew was shot, and again when served an eviction notice.

If management was so quick to blame the uncle for this situation, why did they not evict his first victim?

This is what I hate about being a renter as you are at the mercy of management.  I'd never even rented an apartment until a few years ago as I'd always been a homeowner from an early age.


"I'm familiar in principal, I don't think you're stupid at all."
was a joke, I promise. Better explained in my last post I think.

"I have looked previously at that same or a similar assertion"
This is what I'm talking about:
http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/31/media/donna-brazile-cnn-resignation/
.
All of my assertions are based on my understanding of the "facts" unfortunately none of the media organizations are reliable in this regard. I could very well be arguing based on partisan misinformation under the guise of being "objective". From my perspective the purpose of an investigation is to get to the truth. (legally) This could result in no one being found guilty of anything. (Like Clinton's email probe)

Ok, gotta go... for real this time lol.


Should we label the method of development of all foods?  Food from grafting might have bad traits from both sources.  Can we be sure that food developed through the mutations of irradiating seeds is perfectly safe?  Would you buy a product labeled "Developed through naturally occurring mutation that we know little about?"  Spreading manure on food increases the risk of e-coli, listeria and salmonella.  Remember the people poisoned at Chipotle?  Why aren't organic foods labeled to tell people of real life, known risks?  Labeling is one group of billion dollar corporations (big organic companies) trying to hurt the bottom line of other companies, using the political process.    That is about as unethical as it gets.  And, our Junior Senator is acting as their shill.  I'd like to see how much the Organic Food Industry has donated to his campaign chest.


One's choice to flip one's bird is just that. The responses of others (Lee Cataluna, Denby Fawcett, both of whom I always read and almost always agree with) represent their choices. Lee got more to the point but I disagree with her this time. Denby took a circuitous route to say, I'm not sure what, and threw in a "Malihini" remark which bordered on tacky in my opinion.

The Democratic Party is pretty lame right now in Hawaii and I usually vote left of center. Matter of fact, I have a bird for them . . .just sayin'. The delegation from Hawaii "voted" for Hillary Clinton when in fact 70% of registered Democrats who voted did so for  Bernie Sanders. The percentage for votes can be found here: http://khon2.com/2016/07/26/hawaii-democrats-cast-19-delegates-for-sanders-15-for-clinton/


I watched CNN for a few minutes last night and again this morning.  Trump has a point.  I can see why many conservatives call it the Communist News Network.  The hosts did nothing except slam Trump, the US, or both.


O`leary is socially center left. What does he have to do with Trump


Look at you, Serafim, going full post-modernist here. But this record is obviously broken, since it's being pointlessly repeated again and again.


They are absolutely right. This is a great teaching opportunity to teach the black kids that a flag can't hurt you. Just like a gun dosent kill people. Hurry someone contact PETA! I like camo so I must kill animals for sport!


Yes, the voice of the tic tac I wanna grab a p##**y too crowd.

P.S. I admit this post is crude, but I have to work with the material Trump gives me.


Not true. If he didn't hit her, he would have hit someone else.  I doubt they were the only two people out that Summer night.


Heavy snow load can be a factor in blocking vents.


IDK... maybe the VICTIM should report to police?  Wouldn't that make sense???  And then... PRESS CHARGES.

She REFUSED... didn't forget... didn't try... but REFUSED to report it.  That's what made this ridiculously perplexing and put everyone in an impossible situation.  And failure to supervise what he did... at home???  Since when does that come back on an employer?

What if CU reported... fired him... and then she recanted and changed her story?  Tumpkin then sue's for wrongful termination?  Maybe slander??  Sadly, victims who don't report and press charges have done exactly that.

My heart is with the victim... and want the dirt bag Tumpkin to get what he should... but she made it SOOOO much harder if not impossible.  That's the travesty.... she's STILL the victim without justice.


Low IQ locals and mainland mentality transplants control the scene.  The akamai folks get the shaft.

With the upcoming election she had no choice but to hand it over to he public service.

This is great news for the criminal underworld who rely on children as their subscription base


Didn't mean to criticize your post. My wording is sometimes more stiff than I realize. I was just trying to contribute to both. Sorry if I came off as critical.
I just think that I as a "citizen" and as "church" am also a "we" and saddened by failings as proud of accomplishments and progress. We are also the "every person" as well.


StewartBrian,

The Federal Liberal Party for decades had a significant progressive element that would fit in the NDP (many of whom seriously considered moving over during the Liberal Party's electoral collapses during 2011-15).  In turn, the Liberals have won the votes of many traditional NDP supporters whenever it looked like the Liberals were in a close election with a reactionary Conservative Party. As much as 20% of the electorate constitutes this swing vote.

The Liberal Party adapted to this fluid situation by campaigning well to the left (but maintaining the support o its conservative element by governing more to the centre or even moderate right in Office).

A good measure of Liberal Party periodic concern about possible NDP inroads is the changing volume of their progressive rhetoric.

There's a difference between "religious observance" and showboating ostentatious 'religious' displays.

Hint: football games and touchdowns are NOT 'religious exercises'.


Canadian media has conditioned gullible readers to assume the worst.  Time will tell, not jumping to conclusions by the Trump haters.  Don't trust our politicians any more than I trust those south of the border so will reserve judgement until the results are in.  Never did cotton to the idea of joining a lynch mob.


Perhaps the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the place this "problem" needs to be.  How the Church has handled - or failed to handle - the problem of child sex abuse is fraught with issues that concern tradition and doctrine:  priests as "ontological" special; bishops as even more "ontologically" special; justice for laity within Canon Law; the whole concept of how the Church in each country relates to the laws, customs, and governmental structures of that country. So much is embedded in Catholic tradition so old it can't translate into today, into a world where globalization is apace, people are educated, relationships are not embedded in hierarchies, and governance is shared with the people.

The problem is the presumption that the Church hierarchical structure and roles are somehow blessed by God when it was simply an organizational form/roles suitable to the times in which it was created and grew.  Who/where else within the Church can this be studied and addressed?


Your claims are inconsistent. You say that government income will rise. But this will only happen if salary increases more than offset the loss of jobs (or if those workers find employment elsewhere). In other words, the government will only "rub their hands together with glee" if the policy is a success.

As for workers not being able to afford the restaurants, a moment of thought makes it obvious that for individual worker, the salary increase will more than offset the increase cost of food. A worker paid $3 more per hour for 8 hours gets $24 more per day. If she eats at the restaurant every day, she can afford to spend $24 more on food and still break even. Are you seriously suggesting prices will increase more than that? That would be what, a 100% increase in the price of meals as a result of a 25% increase in the cost of labour. That's absurd. The result is exactly the opposite. Restaurant workers will be able to eat there more often, not less!


They could ask the local police force? Pisses me off when governments play dumb.


That's possible.  It probably improves her bargaining position in any event.


A sound fiscal plan like most states, is where the money will come from TTT. With no options removed from the table. That`s what this debate is all about.  A fair and progressive state income tax like we had before oil..needs to come back. That would have the side benefit of capturing a portion of the payroll off the slope that leaves Alaska every payday, heading instead to Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, and Louisiana.  Why should Texas get the income tax on money earned in Alaska? drilling Alaska oil? It shouldn`t, and it`s a fair source of revenue to add to the measure and debate about the benefit of reinstatement of the income tax in Alaska.


To a Swede 'centre' right means high taxes and a lot of government. From a Canadian perspective this would be socialist. Are you in favour of the 'centrist' government policies of Sweden? They are 'centrist' so must be OK (?).


I'm white, and I feel guilty for what whites have done to blacks in the past. What's up?


Good suggestion Andrew


Where are all those commenters who were mocking you yesterday?


first thing I thought of Gary?  I would have never, ever believed that a sitting president of the US would have a 'kill list'.  Kill Americans w/o due process.  You can dress up a pig but it's still a pig.  I've lost a lot of respect for citizens of this Republic over the last 15 years or so.

It's all gone to hell in a handbag.  l2g


The reality of this is really that Canadians in general don't vote, have a poor political understanding of how governments work anjd basically don't give a damn.  In addition, the Conservatives and the NDP were pushing for a referendum which would have likely been negative to change.  A third thing , but not last, proportional voting is just as stupid as first past the post and additionally involves putting people into Parliament who have not been elected by the people but to fulfil proportion numbers.   It was a great idea, and may come again, but as a large percentage of Canadians are politics poor it won't be soon.


"The divorce from Salt Lake City, where the shows had been for more than 20 years, was ugly. The maturing outdoor industry was unhappy with Utah officials lobbying to reduce the size of the recently designated Bears Ears National Monument, which the Trump administration is reviewing with the notion of downsizing the 1.35 million-acre monument. When Utah officials refused to back off their push, the industry galvanized and began searching for a new home."

Thank you, president Trump! : )   Seriously, I am glad the decision makers that run the trade show were able to see the big picture and realize that Trump's policy (if taken into action) is ultimately bad for public land use and recreation.


You're an absolute cretin.


Done!
Thanks for the link...let TrueDoh! know his abuse didn't go unnoticed.


When most politicians say they are Christian, I say actions speak louder than words. The closest some of these people get to Christianity is paying lip service to those whose oppose abortion. Their lack of concern for the poor, working poor, families, hungry American children and anyone who isn't rich and white is proven every day by legislation that benefits the 1% and ignores every one else. Watch the GOP start to destroy Medicare, Social Security, ACA, Medicaid, SNAP, LIEAP, and any other program people depend on to try to survive. Watch the GOP fight tooth and nail against a living wage or paid family leave so low income parents can actually spend time with their newborns. Watch the GOP continue to subsidize the rich while placing the tax burden on everyone else. Congress maybe 91% Christian but they sure as hell don't act like it!

For Canada as a whole, the increase in per-student spending in public schools after accounting for the effects of price changes was 30.8% between 2003-04 and 2012-13; from $9,231 to $12,070.Give money to parents and open more private schools.


Compelling question
As soon as we demand, require or shame
people into voting
We become a fascist exclusionary society
based on doctrine created by the elitists
people who want to vote
can and do vote !
to demand it is zealous and greedy       jb49

Really?


You're welcome. The Apostolic church was also not a democracy - read the Epistles.

You are correct that the vast majority of us are never going to have a vote in a synod or conclave. Then again, the vast majority of us are never going to have a seat in the House, the Senate, or the governor's mansion.

And most of us can live with that.


The other two parties are worthless.


Great story LInda.  Funny.  So sad too. The hell-destined fears we had--and their staying power--aren't talked about enough. And it's amazing how many Catholic "kids" years later painfully remember the details; and how many non-Catholic kids have no idea why.  When we who know use the term "Catholic guilt," Trads tell us there is no such thing, just the good,  rightful, and appropriate sense of unworthiness derived from such sinful acts as doing The Twist, French kissing, going to Woodstock, reading the Bible alone, going to divorced Uncle Ted's second wedding and living-in-sin Aunt Carol's funeral, seeing Peyton Place at our neighborhood theater,sharing wine with your dad at the Presbyterian service, watching the Miss America swimsuit competition.....we, like you, were sooo scared (LITERALLY) Father or Sister or God would find out. And how sad is it that contrived fear was the intent all along?   Even sadder is the residual: And we won't be fooled again. So natural. So unnecessary.


Your comments are  all DRUG INDUCED.  I am not afraid of you or your comments, LETS GET IT ON.............Ooh Rah............


you are clearly a dangerous pathological sheep of the left wing to post such drivel. he is clearly managing the office just as all others before him


A great way to make getting a college something of value would be to not make other countries co dependent on America.  No longer send other countries large amounts of money, instead, pay early retirement, in large sums, to vacate positions for graduates.  This will put our tax dollars to good use and make it worth getting a good college education.....  Also, we need to make trade schools more important.  We need a lot of trades that are slowly being lost due to lack of people going into this valuable field.....


Every administration that I can remember has tried to deal with this short of bombing them.  Honestly there is only so much we can do through sanctions and such.  What would you have done to prevent things from getting this far?


I have also witnessed the no confrontation policy. I guess it's too much of a risk. Might also raise insurance rates to tell employees to confront a shoplifter.


It's ironic that after 30+years of depending on oil revenues to fully fund government - we have no plan yet how to do it when money runs low without going back to the petro industry and asking for more. I think the authors did a great job of laying out the 'rationale' for the petro credits and how it differentially affects big and little companies.

Someone should write an article about the vision of the legislature leading to these credits. It happened because we kept looking at the trajectory of declining production matched against the escalation of raw prices - and it was rife with possible disaster. It happened and now we are rightly scared.

The irony is that if we don't take steps to insure the continued petro industry interest AND development in a stable tax and incentive climate - the state will be right back here very shortly considering the very same things: using the PF earnings, imposing taxes, and cutting budgets.

We can't be cavalier about oil industry jobs.


Comprehension is definitely not your strong suit is it Rank and Ornery? Trump didn't make that claim. Let's have a re-do and see if you can comprehend the article again. I'm sure you're used to re-do's.


I liked the article's final sentence. There's a tendency among certain women to consider women's rights exclusive to women and among men to consider some human rights exclusive to men. That's the stage we're at for the moment. Eventually both men and women will accept the obvious that rights are human rights and gender is irrelevant where rights are concerned. That ideal might have come closer to realization under Obama, but, given Trump's attitude to gender, is likely to suffer a set back. Women did the right thing to protest against that possibility and I hope they continue as a united front of protesters when other important issues like climate change, free trade and health care are threatened by regressive policies.


How can one entertain a law without a legal definition of what is considered offside?  Why is the term not being defined?  I want a closed list.  No grey area.

I'd add the most transforming experience of common humanity in modern America has been sports leading in desegregation.  I've known many small town athletes who first experience with a black person was in sports.   You will find lifelong friendships between black and white based on being teammates and competitors.

One nice thing about sport's, it has rules and people to enforce them.    That brings it down to who performs the best, and skin color is not an excuse.   *My daughter is an IowaStat grad, home to Jack Trice Field, the first black athlete to be fatally injured in football by the intentional actions of Minn players during his first varsity game.

Moving toward equality sometimes has a sad price to pay.   Trice paid with his life, but it's moved race relationships forward.   I doubt we ever have a fully color blind society, but we can learn the practice of empathy and compassion for others, of any color.


wow you really are a nut job lib troll, wente was against trump over and over during the election now not so much, so much for bias there eh ignorant lib


He  expects to have full access to all the world has to offer while excoriating any attempt by non natives to access his culture.  Imagine the outrage if native writers were told they could not be published in a  white man's newspaper  "You Stay on your side , and we stay on ours".  How would he feel if Italy treated him the way he treats Italians?


Very clever to leave out the context of what Lee said: he said "keep it coming" in reference to transferring power back to the people.

Exactly what is President Trump doing to accomplish that?


I'm not saying this didn't happen, but how is it that 38 people come together with one accusation at roughly the same time?


Perhaps Hunger should clarify his true status on HNN next time he is asked for an opinion or refuse to speak because of misinfo by HNN for ethical reasons.


I am sure, archangel, there is sin there-- as it is everywhere; indeed, there is no point trying to refine sin. It is what it is. We all sin and are sinners. But there is also grace there, an abundance of it in good reform-minded lay people, Holy Cross priests and seminarians trying  live out the school's mission.

Emerson reminds us that we cannot get a shock from something unless we have an electric affinity for that which shocks us. This is especially true of all of us -- in a kind of Catholic kinship, as it were -- when we take the limits (or frontiers, or peripheries ) of our own field of vision for the limits (or frontiers, peripheries) of our neighbors. Hopefully your affinity for shock at ND, doesn't, among other things, rob you of ND's broader intellectual, spiritual and moral vision, especially in behalf of Hispanic Catholics, and so many, many other folks from all backgrounds and parts of the world who have benefited from the extra-ordinary things done at that institution.

You can bet the "lottery winners" for basic income cheques in these three test towns are going to be hand picked friends of Team Wynne.  Same folks manage the TCHC new housing list.


This is why people don’t take Hickenlooper seriously.  He openly supported Obamacare when the Affordable Act was first passed, then opposed it (and blamed others for its failures) after realizing it is failing middle class.   He then unveils a modified bill that clearly lacked cost saving reductions,  and then slams Trump for taking action to save costs and protect middle class America.    Hickenlooper must start recognizing our need for new ideas.


Uh, actually, no: where both the hospital and the OLF are located is not all speculative.


Wait... I am allowed to take every Friday off 7 months a year?  Why didn't I get the memo?  I know my Male Privilege Discount Card got hung up in the male... I mean mail... but there was nothing in the Patriarchy newsletter about socially acceptable long weekends.  Might have been a delay in delivery on account of the woman who sorts the mail needing to leave early randomly "for the kids".

Oh, was that last sentence insulting, overly broad and baseless?  exactly.


What happens daily are idiotic remarks from Trump and fluffy Trump Bunnies like you.


In other words, you don't care that the Trumps are liars and cheaters, as all plagiarists are. You are a typical Trump supporter: "I want someone in the White House who is as stupid, amoral, and bigoted as me."


Kagan: You seem to have the same problem that Tim Hudak had with math when he wanted to cut 100,000 public service jobs.  Not all of that 22% of the working population is paid for by the provincial government. That numbers also includes federal civil servants. Most police and firefighters are paid by municipal governments.  Could you cite a source that supports your idea that they all make over $150,000 a year. The Sunshine List is published every year and only a small portion of the public service is on that list.


A Pebble project, regardless of footprint, jeopardizes the natural renewable resource: FISH. The PRIORITY of natural , renewable resources is paramount and our government "seems to think" a proposed development plan would have NO and/or in- significant effect on the environment.They are DEAD wrong.

Perhaps you can help me understand the following:

1) What is racist and hateful about wanting strong border security?

2) What is racist and hateful about wanting the rule of law and order in society?

3) What is racist and hateful about wanting a safe country to live in which we do not have to worry about terrorist attacks?

Finally: What is racist and hateful about government regulations and or laws to bring about the above goals?


Did you read the article?
"Manafort joined the Trump campaign in March 2016, and Trump tapped him to serve as campaign chairman in May of that year. He left in August 2016, but Gates, his business partner and protege, continued to play an important role with the campaign even after Manafort’s departure. After the election Gates directed the inauguration plans, including fundraising, under Tom Barrack, Trump’s close friend and adviser."

Whats in it for BC?
-
 Current economic climate:
Trans Mountain pays $7M in tax annually to Burnaby making it the municipalities third largest tax contributor -
-
Projected economic climate following expansion :

$6.8 B private sector investment into the Canadian pipeline network
9000 British Columbian jobs during construction x 4 years
1000 permanent jobs along the system and at the Burnaby terminal upon completion
an additional $3.7 B annually into Canadian energy exports
an additional $23M / year to British Columbia in property tax
an additional $6 M annually to the city of Burnaby
an additional $366,000 to the Westridge Marine terminal per tanker( = $127 M annually)
-
Hundreds of jobs and hundreds of millions of tax dollars just to green light the expansion of an energy transport system that has been functioning safely  for over five decades
-
is there any rational reason to attempt to thwart this project?


I'm surprised this is being called a rare event?  It would seem like someone knows by now?  How much rock fell?  Was there displacement?  Is there a fissure? The ARR can handle pretty much anything themselves.


I don't care that you don't care that the whole emergency could have been avoided in the first place. Or that this plant should probably not have been where it was in the first place. You're a great example of the right wing mind at work. Do you work in oil and gas, or just emit gas as an amateur?


Can't Eugene start a program with the DISTRICT $ to offer a daily pickup of all pan handlers give them a broom, garbage pick up sticks, and such to do public good. They would be paid daily at $10hr to clean public spaces, river banks & parks. They would be visible in their  contributions to our community.  This would finally prove are pan handlers scammers, jobless, or willing to get straight.


In a world with so many shades of grey it must make Canadians proud that their paper of record has an international affairs columnist like Douggie.

Listen to Rob Carrick who will tell you to avoid buying real estate as your own principle residence then watch as it triples in value with no capital gains to pay when you sell.


I wonder if the Alberta steel companies are involved as retaliation for the pipeline situation in BC?


Lesil McGuire's analysis and comments are correct.  Surely more adjustments to the oil tax credits and government overhead can be made.  Use of permanent earnings along with new taxes is the only way to balance the state budget without decimating Alaska's economy and to preserve the PFD for the long term.  Personal attacks on Senator McGuire are not in any way helpful.  None of us can control the ups and downs of the oil market.  However, our legislature can act more wisely in spending the State of Alaska's money.


The legislature should have said no last year.  Kirk would have raised property taxes and would have been out of office by now.

This infringement on religious freedom is appalling.  The Church should not be required to pay fees as if it were subject to secular authority any more than its clergy should live in fear of prosecution for violations of the law.  This is exactly the kind of violation of the first amendment that led our Courageous Bishops to endorse the current president during the election.  At least we can count on this Bishop to fight for the Church!


The WALL is not only to keep illegal Mexicans out. It would be effective in keeping illegals from all over OUT, along with drugs, etc. It has simply become necessary for social, military, & economic security of the citizens of the USA.
Since Mexico has neither the ability or desire to police that border (unlike their own southern border) it is appropriate that they be taxed or otherwise be forced to cover the cost of the construction & maintenance. If for no other reason, the USA should do that, because we still CAN.
liberals try to link the WALL to racial/cultural prejudice, but like so many of their deliberately misleading, emotional, but brainless howls, that is simply not the case.


“ . . . supports spending $730,000 to add positions in the city’s new Department of Land Management . . .”  Wow!  That’s quite a bit larger than I expected.  I raised concerns about additional costs for this department when it was being discussed by the charter commission.  Several commissioners stated that the new department would pull staff from other departments and that there wouldn’t be an increase in costs.

I wonder how much the other amendments are going to cost us.


Well perhaps you can help. Who do I believe, Archbishop Chaput who says there is no change in the Church's teaching or Cardinal Cupich who says there is?


Oh my! Concepts I NEVER heard before during my undergraduate degree in religious studies from a secular university! Or my graduate degree in theological studies for that matter!

The "world behind the text"...yes, of course...Raymond Brown's Johannine community theory that Christ's words are really just made up lines from upset Christians in the late 1st century AD who were mad at the Jewish communities expelling them from the synagogues for following Jesus. That the whole Gospel of John and 1, 2, 3 John really are just a passive aggressive tantrum from a persecuted group using the generally made up character of Jesus (very much the Christ of "faith" in this instance)

How amateur of me to think that Christ's words in John's Gospel could have ANY obvious meaning for any Christian beyond the year 120 CE!


For those of you getting ultimately tired and fed up with Trump - and why not? - he's given plenty of reasons for it:

Doesn't seem so.  Fire started from appliances or smoking in bed would be slow burning and would allow one to extinguish it.  On the other hand, fires from liquid combustibles would be instantaneous and spreads quickly.  The fact that an arson dog capable of detecting flammables was brought in adds to the suspicion.  She'd better have a darn good lawyer if it's proven she was at fault. Now, it's all speculation and reports from neighbors.

Sure they did.  What was the voter turnout that election----25 percent ?  The shame is conservative voters are staying home and in doing so letting liberals ruin this state.  How stupid are we that with all the screwed up people we already have , we'd vote yes to allow even more to get screwed up ?  Who's side are you on ?  Alcohol and drugs are wrecking countless Alaskan's lives.  No one should be for that .

A report on UofT's donation campaign needs to be put into context with the administration's hard line position in bargaining with their teaching assistants (TAs), who do the bulk of the work on campus. The university tried to surpress the TAs being represented by their union, the CUPE teaching assistant's union, on account of the fact that the union does not cover the TAs activities as PhD students. U of T claimed that the TAs were bargaining for fair remuneration in their funding packages as students, not in their TA wages (which make up part of this package). Seeing as doctoral candidates have no other organized bargaining voice than their TA union, this is tantamount to the university trying to head off any opposition to their position. This position was an effort to keep the funding package at $15,000 a year. What is the philanthropy being spent on if not things like paying the employees of the uni a decent wage? Maybe Meric Gertler's salary (= 30 PhD wages / year)


Some of the deals they come up with in Salem never cease to amaze.  This is one that just seems to be a money giveaway at taxpayers expense.  It's a deal that probably shouldn't have been made in the first place.


Its like a 90 yo man walking around talking current street slang. I was kind of irraz when I saw it too. Doesn't seem like a newspaper title. But what do I expect from my bird cage liner?


Sure James, but what do we do after we clean up elected officials in the state legislature?


Lets cut through the baffle gab and obfuscation on this matter, OK?

You know as well as I do that the vote yesterday was not a vote to pass the latest health care bill or even a vote as to whether senators supported the latest health care bill.

It was simply a vote on a motion to discuss and debate this latest health care bill.

The senate is the highest deliberative body in the US and is expected to discuss and debate issues and draft legislation.

Only fools, fascists and all Democrats doing what leader Schumer orders them to do are so ridiculous as to refuse to discuss and debate and improve and ultimately approve or reject this draft bill.

McCain was very clear and compelling in his remarks after his vote to allow discussion to proceed.

Anyone who actually reads his remarks will understand why he voted for the motion to debate, why he won't vote for the bill as it stands, why he won't be bullied by POTUS or anyone else and, why he urges a bi-partisan approach on a new bill.


"Executives from United Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines , American Airlines and Southwest Airlines , which are all represented by Airlines for America, attended the Trump speech. The group praised the Trump plan."

If airline executives are on board, it must be a truly disgusting plan.  Does Trump do anything without first consulting CEOs?  And will Trump ever consult consumer rights advocates, environmentalists, labour leaders or scientists?

Note to Trump Trolls:  those are rhetorical questions, so don't even bother responding.


People often don't realize (or don't want to see) when they have the lost the skills to drive safely and have become a danger to themselves and others.  There needs to be driving tests on the road for people when they reach 75 or 80.


That's true, but also Justin and Wynne are bought and paid for politicians that follow the corporate party line, just like the majority of all the others. A good start would be Justin following through on his promise to get rid the first past the post elections. So far he's backing away from it.


The whole world is reverting back to identity politics, the war on terror and anti migration politics unfolding in Europe and the west confirm this. You can throw in Chinese and Russian identity vs. Europe and America - that is where the world is moving. We are where we started!

I'm not pro-abortion, but I always find it interesting that anti-abortion people are willing to kill people to keep those people from performing abortions. Perhaps their efforts would be better spent, assuming they have the intellectual capacity to do so, working to change the laws concerning abortions if they feel that strongly about the issue.


My parents were immigrants who were still trying to master the english language when I was a child.

As with many children of immigrants in this situation, the kids have to step up at a young age in order to interact with schools, government, doctors, etc on their parents' behalf. This would include (in my case), showing my mother how to use the commuter train.


Desperate liberals circling like carrion onto these comment sections in any article that mentions the president even if the article contains next to nothing. Wow, you people are so full of hatred.


Now, that's an interesting take - limited nuclear strike against US military without retaliation. I don't know, Outsider, whether Putin would try that, just to see what the response would be. Nuking the Nimitz, the flagship of the US Sixth Fleet in the Med, would certainly be provocative since that ship has 5000 men and women on board.  The USS Eisenhower just recently joined the Med fleet. There is now a swarm of FA-18 interceptors near Syria. Putin will blink, since he's not a fool.


Should rename this article "Congress and Washington Examiner tell North Korea best way to destroy US" !


Haven't we already reached that point  with "stand your ground laws"?

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALBERTA...for electing a Liberal to be the head of the Progressive Party. LOL!


First, Pope Francis doesn't seem to understand that his blanket condemnations of groups of people are very unwelcoming.  He cannot condemn gay people, transgendered people, and feminists  for some secret plot to destroy marriages and expect them to want to be pastorally accompanied.

Second, what exactly does he think that gender theory is?  Does he really think that liberals are going around encouraging children to change gender?  That isn't what gender theory about; it is about getting rid of gender stereotypes.

Put your 'faith' in money Don.    That's what drives most political decisions in this nation now dependent on two corrupted politcal parties.   Of course what you or I see as corruption is just business as usual in DC.

Gary is right, what we know are scientific facts.   That doesn't mean we know everything about climate, but it also doesn't mean we need to lean on 'faith' alone or stick our heads in the sand hoping everything will be fine.     Look how much civilization has changed in just the last 150 years versus 1500 year before that.

New challenges means new solutions.


When you have a party system, the only thing that matters is the party, not the province, not the laws, and certainly not the people.  In the case of the greens it is a party that is against anything.   However having said that the people voted and now will get what they wanted, just like the USA, so sad


Whew- I am relieved to hear that. That would have been bad if they had.  I was also relieved when Lavrov said there were no Russian troops in Crimea or eastern Ukraine. That would have been bad as well.

Is it still considered draining the swamp if you’re the one that filled it up in the first place?  General Flynn, Dr. Price, Mr. Manafort, Mr. Gorka, Mr. Bannon, the Mooch, Mr. Priebus, Mr. Dubke and finally Mr. Schaub (Director of the Office of Government Ethics).  All have quit or been fired since Trump Jong Orange ascended to the throne.  General Flynn led the chant of “Lock Her Up!” at the convention, then asked for a pardon.  These are the monsters that lurk in the deep.  Mr. Trump has made the swamp so deep they had to hire a lifeguard.

Where's Trudeau? Shouldn't he be working long hours, daily on NAFTA as its the primary driver of the Canadian economy? Oh ya, yet again, despite already attending a dozen of the same events just this year, Trudeau is attending another street party but in Ottawa this weekend. Does this guy do any work?

They must not have got the message that they were co-conspirators.  Hubris and arrogance are an amazing thing.  Now they will be exposed more.  They should be folding their tents and get on with leasing out or selling that building (which I am sure they are doing, which is good.)  And maybe this is such a blow that they have no other choice but to sue. But if they do have a choice, I don't think this is a good move.  It's doubling down on what has proved to be a losing strategy:  going to court to fight it out.


you again are an idiot, ontario was booming after harris fixed the mess left by the ndp,,, balanced books, a booming economy, over 800,000 NET FULL TIME PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS,, then come the libs and it crashes, record debt now, still 250,000 less full time private sector jobs in ontario then when they were elected, and you think harris did this?  HA HA HA HA man you are an idiot  and the usual 42 billion debt again, listen snowflake you wont ever answer my question should harris of gutted and fired say 100,000 public sector people on day one to guarantee balanced books or was it better to work it down slowing until running 4 years of abalanced books,, see lunatic that 40 billion was RAE's debt,, now lets see you comment on your libs 160 plus ADDED billion in new debt!


The west is committing suicide. This type of a system, one in which established institutions give in at the drop of a hat to demands without even so much as attempting a trial... this is not democracy anymore.

"Okay. Good enough for me. Life sentence."


Why is hard to believe Trump colluded with the Russians? "You help us defeat Hillary, and when we're elected, we'll get rid of the sanctions." Simple quid pro quo. And also treason.

Seems to me that the FBI needs to get out their dictionary. This was surely an act of violence for political reasons. This was not a personal vendetta. The shooter was a socialist and hated the political views of conservatives and targeted conservative congressmen. The FBI has lost much statue under Comey and has continued to go downhill with their politically motivated and led department of injustice. It's time for them to return to actual law enforcement.
Do they think we really needed their politically correct statement of an out and out lie to cloud the reality of what happened?


Almost every single protest since November 8th. Are you blind or just another MSM robot ? They stab police horses with nails and throw urine filled bottles at the officers. Complete losers every one of them.


I'm not dictating what you should say.  I'm commenting on your odd choice of words. "Crowded city block" came out of nowhere.

And really?  'Urban music', for instance is a new one on you?

"The Urban Music Awards (UMA) is a hip-hop, R&B, dance and soul music awards ceremony launched by Jordan Kensington in 2003 and now held in six countries annually by Invincible Media Group.  The US version of the award ceremony, the Urban Music Awards USA, was launched on 7 July 2007"

And had you written 'Park Ave' I would have just shrugged it off as another meaningless comment.  But you didn't.  Not a big surprise, since Park Avenue is noted for many things, but being crowded is not one that springs to mind.  Reading your actual comment, however, a dig at African Americans comes to mind.

Look, I didn't care for the original comment either, but yours was no better - or at least that's the clear impression that it created.


All's well that ends well, and it makes a terrific story, "Newlywed husband rescues bride from cliff face." The money from television appearances (if forthcoming) would help get their new marriage off to a good start. Kudos to Coast Guard rescuers, I can't imagine why our new administration would want to cut their funding.


The Liberals just deferred billions in new defence spending in their last budget. As of today, Canada does not have a "blue water" navy. It's not a Chretien/Martin issue or a Harper issue, the military procurement system for large capital projects is fundamentally broken and has been for the better part of the last 20 years. Look at Australia's capabilities vs. Canada - Australia has a coherent strategy for the RAN that is already delivering important strategic results, specifically the Canberra-class amphibious assault vessels (helicopter carriers). The bulk of the ships were built in Spain and fitted out in Australia. Meanwhile Canada dithers. Leftwing blowhards attack the US for their military expenses but are silent on the fact that Canada's Arctic sovereignty could not be defended from Russian aggression without the US deterrent. The only reason China is not actively contesting the Senkakus is because of the US deterrent as part of post-WW2 treaty obligations with Japan.

The $1.3 billion in tax credits should be applied to the budget deficit, and not given to the wealthiest corporations in the world. Rex Tillerson, the Chief Executive Officer of ExxonMobil, retired with a retirement package worth $180 million, so the oil price at $56 is not hurting Big Oil.


Of course, killing infants and pregnant women is not "murder" when God orders it.  It is the lawful , just and warranted taking of life.  And genocide is not forbidden by the fifth.  But wasn't the genocide of the people of the Promised Land not convenient and expedient for God, since He needed to get them out of the way?   Naturally, because the One True Church is led by the Infallible, and is Infallible,  any wars it waged were just and those who died got what they had coming to them, as did the Canaanites.  I am glad we are in agreement on this point.


Have a good day, kag1982.


The supply chain has to be changed, that's the whole point of Trumps argument,  to improve the balance of  trade between the US and Mexico.  Canada and the US is almost balanced.   China is the elephant with a $350 billion US deficit

 I thank the lord their are people like Nigel Farage discussing many uncomfortable issue facing humanity.

Trying to dock a huge cruise ship when the wind was blowing 45 mph was a dumb move.


It is the working poor who need to file a class action lawsuit against our PC liberal government that has stripped us of our right to negotiate our own wages for the work we render. What democrats have done is steal the raise those with a work ethic earned, and gave it to a dead end loser who votes for PC liberals, who do nothing to earn a raise, and let others carry their workload. This was done for the unions so they can steal even more taxpayer money when their government contracts come due. It was also done to expand the welfare state by making people unemployable at this ridiculous entry level wage.


The Heritage Foundation plan was what Romney followed in MA, since he is white that was OK. Some have suggested just renaming it to Trumpcare, I would hope they would drop the guarantee that Insurance Companies be kept from losing money, isn't that real conservatism ? In fact having single payer and doing away with the billions they add to healthcare should allow for protection for the really poor, young people with no job and high risk individuals. Could be wrong let me know.Bruce


What is your opinion/thoughts - TODAY - about the Caucasian woman being run down by the Caucasian man in Charlottesville.  Are you outraged that one of our citizens injured many of our fellow citizens because of his political views ...


Lexo. Nothing is fully tax deductable except for retirement savings. At best, expenditures (including altruistic charitable givings) are tax creditable. A big difference from fully deductible.  Seniors can earn a tax credit on medical expenses, small as it may be. Seniors receive an additional non-refundable tax credit of $7,000 federally. Seniors can split their taxable income.

Everybody can't have ALL the tax credits that everyone else has. It is about finding a balance - and in balance, seniors have many tax breaks.

when has Ottawa helped Alberta through the bad times?  Trudeau stopped by and said he would give Alberta $250 million.  That was only a portion of what Alberta paid to the other parts of Canada in THAT YEAR in transfer payments.  Sure Alberta was happy to share in the past but don't kick us when were down.  Whether it was Lougheed loaning money to other provinces at far below market rates, Klein foregoing a portion of federal social and health care payments, Trudeau keeping oil below world price, or the transfer payments to name a few times Alberta has helped.


1. The sex offender registry was a knee-jerk reaction from day one, and I don't support inane knee-jerks. 2. It was ripe for abuse from day one, and that's all it was used for, hence this court decision. 3. All this so-called psychological damage is bogus, too, concocted by psychologists, at the urging of law enforcement, to keep themselves from having to work at 7-Eleven. 4. Moral bankruptcy? First, I'm no Christian, so if you think I'm getting some morals that way, you're wrong. Two, it is legal for adults to have sex with children in most jurisdictions. Three, kids have sex--lots of it, and no one blinks an eye. The question I posed was for you to answer, and I said you did a better job than I expected, but you forgot that much sex between adults and children is legal. 5. The case that led to this decision, the case that started it all involved a guy who wasn't even a sex offender but whom the state of Colorado classified and punished as a sex offender. There's the icing on the cake


Francis needs a good canon law assistant to issue language that makes it clear what is happening when he teaches on law and procedure. It would have helped in both the recent statement and in the Joy of Love. He has made one thing very clear, however. His current authority overturns past tradition and if you don't think so, take it up with your confessor. For him, those goes for later Councils overturning past ones. For all of you who who told liberals like me to leave if you are discomforted, I urge you to take my advice and stay and fight or stay and obey. It is not like he has started to refer to the Holy Spirit by her traditional name...yet.

Speak for yourself when you say "when the Senate stands in the way of a an elected Parliament and thwarts the will of the people we call for the abolition of the unelected and unaccountable body" - that is certainly not the majority decision. More people want Senate reform than want abolition. Educated people know that the Senate's role is spelled out in the Constitution and in Parliamentary procedure. The Senate has regularly sent back Bills with suggested amendments, it's the Senate's job!

The Globe is being a bit two-cade when it comes to the Canadian Senate compared to the House of Lords but his attitude to the former has been driven by being a Conservative newspaper and pandering to Harper in the days when he was trying to manipulate that Chamber of Parliament.


Being "terrific" has nothing to do with anything here.  It's the natural logic of the colonizee and of course, the natural put-off by the colonizor.  Your inapposite comparison, professor, is that blacks were not indigenous to the continent and so, were not "colonized" as in my comparative context.  But you are on the correct professorially expected articulation re female sexual mutilation in Muslim countries.  While repugnant to the likes of you and me as well -- acts of which we'd surely punish severely in our own hometowns with LAWS enacted by the norms of our respective societies -- it would be professorially inane for you, as example, to presume codification of a foreign country's culture and/or acts under the US Code Annotated and then publish a book accordingly concluding your value judgments.


Hello Natatat,

You are completely wrong with your quip about Vancouver having the best paying jobs. To the contrary, it is near the bottom in that category.

The reason Vancouver house became so expensive had nothing to do with local workers. It happened because the housing market price ruptured away from, and became fully detached from, the local job market. And that severance was achieved by a massive flood of overseas money.

But don't take my word for it. Read the quoted professors and such in the following article you can find online:

"Why are Vancouver wages so low compared to other cities?"

How about teaching how upper-class immigrants from countries that have received western-style primary and secondary educations there, as a result of colonialism, and whose families could afford university educations in the US or Canada, then have the privilege of becoming immigrants here and do very well, while the great mass of lower-class people in their own countries live in misery because of the exploitation, corruption and tax avoidance of those upper classes?


Now there is a surprise!  South Eugreen students voting for a liberal progressive.  Whoda thunkit???


In theory, there could possibly be a time, in the near future, whereby there are no local people left in Hawaii, because they could not afford to live in Hawaii.

At that point in time, there would be no local politicians left in office.

It is easy to envision this happening in the near future.

Only the financially secure home owners, could survive.  The low income residents, could only rent or become homeless.

There could possibly be a distant moment, when the Hawaii political history books, will say that it has been alleged, there were once local politicians, who lived in Hawaii.

An academician would argue, that it never happened, because local people could not afford to live in Hawaii, let alone be elected to any political office.

All you have to do, is destroy all of the evidence.  Burn all pictures, destroy all records, and obliterate all archives.

It is like the confederacy history on the mainland or the 10 commandments inside a courthouse.

It never happened or existed.


.... it’s high time we received this connectivity in our communities.”....

Another passive hand out - receiving what is now considered an entitlement ! I was under the mistaken impression that their culture preferred smoke signals ( apologies but I cannot help myself  .-).

I disagree. The days of WestJet being a more personable, friendly carrier are long over. I flew both regularly and see no difference.


In listening to the hearing one thing that struck me as entertaining was the back and forth between the Senators and HTA Geroge Szigeti. You could tell that Szigeti had only a couple of bullets to answer the Senators questions about why a 1% increase in the TAT will detrimentally affect tourism in Hawaii.
Lets just say for the layman listening to Szigeti's answers, he didn't convince too many people that this would so negatively affect tourism. What he could have said was "We got lucky the last time the Legislature got together in 2009 and increased the TAT then, because Tourism rebounded and such"
But no, and he, instead, was the man to take the bullet in answering these questions instead of the hotelers (outside of Outrigger, I'll give them that - they showed up and took their bullets personally).
So to the HTA chief - you have another chance in the House - perhaps come up with better points - because it's 1 for the Leg and 0 for you.


While emotionally damaged progressives obsess over trans genders in the military, perverts in the girls room, destruction of statues and shutting down free speech, The Donald is systematically dis-mantling little Barry's many screw-ups with or without duplicitous RINO republicans.  The ACA is the granddaddy screw-up of them all followed open borders, crippling of the military, enabling Iran to obtain nuclear weapons and racially dividing the country just to name a few.  Once he appoints the next supreme court justice the balance will shift significantly for a generation.  Bad time to be a progressive democrat so look for increasing immature behavior from that group.

the only negative side effect of immigration in Canada and Australia has been the housing prices. Globalism is not just a policy, it's a fact of life made possible by ships, planes and the internet. What is interesting is that leftist have asked for fair trade policies for the longest time, and now suddenly free-market libertarians of the right are finding it attractive to be anti-globalist because that's where the winds of sentiments are blowing.

So in essence, he did it just to see if he could do it.  However, there are myriads of things he could have planned just to see if he could pull it off which didn't involve mass murder. The fact that he involved mass murder in this demonstrates some mental illness.  Setting off a chain of 20,000 dominoes falling takes planning and preparation too.  Yet no one dies.


You forgot the part where you sold at the height of that bubble so by 1996 the house was $185,500 and didn't get back to $265,000 until 2002 or 13 years later. Therefore, the person you sold to would have lost more than you paid for the house if they kept it as long as you did. Moral of the story, timing is everything. The question is when will 1989 happen this time around. Also, the leverage is WAY higher now that it was in 1989. In 1989 leverage was 3 to 1. Now it is 10 to 1 or higher. HELOCS didn't exists either and that exacerbates things downward. Big difference.


Nothing more dangerous on the street than a dirty cop. If the dirty cop is the top cop, you got major troubles. When the top cop is married to a major player at the prosecutor's office, and she in trouble too - you got major major troubles. When the city prosecutor is backing up the major player at the prosecutor's office about fixed tickets and the like, you got major, major, major troubles. When all these folks work for clowns like Max Sword and Capt. Kirk you got horrendous troubles. No wonder rail succeeded in fleecing the taxpayers of this state. Hawaii ain't even a third world country anymore - we gotta be the first fourth world state out there. All these jokers are paid for by the citizens of the city and county of Honolulu. People, we ain't too bright.


Perilous times indeed.


Excellent article.

Yes, and on many things.

Great coverage Scott! I especially loved the drone footage. Looks like a mighty fun time.


Don't let the door hit you in the arse, Rachel!

Just more evidence Trump is radically unfit to hold any office, let alone the Presidency.  He and all of his supporters should leave the United States and go set up their own backwoods third world Banana Republic. Their unparalleled ignorance and stupidity is no excuse. I denounce him and his traitorous followers. Disgusting, every last one of them.

"Metro Denver may be attracting renters with job opportunities and an alluring lifestyle, but it needs to do more to provide affordable housing opportunities beyond an apartment if it wants to keep them long-term, Bennet said."

I'm fine with NOT keeping them all long-term.  I'd like to see Colorado's too-fast population growth rate slow significantly.


Many years ago I was disputing Dr. Wortman's claims in this section. He was a commenter, not the author. How things change.


How does this buy votes?  Doubtful the assessment will even be done by the next election let alone the project actually starting.  Few people will even register this.


I would guess way more than half are still working.  I can probably get some data on that if you like.  The main problem (no offense intended I just don't think it is accurate) I have with your original statement is that "few are eligible" when it is a very high number.  It also amount to billions in liability.  The projected unfunded amount is something near 10 billion at this point I believe.  This is because the early Tier systems did not set aside enough money to cover the costs we are now seeing.  Primarily because of lifetime medical guarantee and the high cost of that.


Anselm was wrong. Any God who did things for his own honor is no god at ll. We now know that there was no original sin of disobedience, but rather a natural state of blame. Jesus sacrifice was a vision quest where in his suffering he abandoned his view of himself as divine (as told to him by Mary when he said Woman, this is your son) and as savior (This is your mother -not baptize the world in my name). This had him call out in despair and then seal his sacrifice with wine (I thirst) whereupon he passed out and died.


If you own a business, do not have a union contract and do not violate any "fair labor practices" regulations, you're pretty much free to negotiate wages. working conditions(withinOSHA and EPA regulations) and benefits with each of your employees....This is not "breaking news."  Public employers, on the other hand, are far more limited.  They usually deal with public unions and "professional associations" who negotiate contracts.  This isn't "breaking news" either.  The public arrangements can serve to both protect "good" workers and "bad" workers as well.  In fact, a "really excellent" teacher will make the same salary as a "barely adequate" teacher with the same years tenure and college credits on the "pay scale."  I have no idea of the flexibility in the University to use a "merit" system to reward "better" professors.  I don't know that there's a simple way for Ms Freyd to compare herself to those "other men."  It will be interesting to see how her case goes...Gary Crum

In fact, the institutional Church regularly uses dehumanizing language to refer to gays. "Intrinsically disordered" is seen, IMHO correctly, by homosexuals to refer to them, not some amorphous "tendency".

You have apparenty bought into the idea that the reason for having sexual intercourse is procreation. Are you married? If so, wouldn't you agree that procreation is not the main reason you have sex with your wife. If you do agree, then according to what you say, your sexual intercourse is "purely self-gratifying". AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? Is pleasure, for its own sake, something to be avoided? When you eat, do you deliberately make your food unpalatable? Do you deny yourself all entertainment?

Also, consider this: Do you really think that God is as hung up on sex as some apparently imagine? The Bible devotes hardly any space to sexual sins, but goes on at great length on social sins.


This is really sad, and that's, unfortunately, a very real issue.

PPP like windchill temperatures are not considered serious or absolute measurements.

Tell me,  what is the PPP price of gold, for example

PPP includes such nebulous concepts as ‘how many times a week can a family of four afford to go out to eat’

Trump's ban is not a rational policy response to a measured threat; it is a political gambit designed to pander to his political base. It might help to remember that refugees are not some sort of fifth column, or people who identify with any particular agenda; they are people fleeing war, people whose houses have been destroyed, people — women and children —who may have lost family members to industrial scale violence, people who are literally running for their lives. We'll see how you like it when it happens to you.
