I wasn't defending Oberg.  And I was surprised that Senzetilla made the opening roster ... wasn't that impressed with him in the pre-season.  I didn't think he had the mix of breaking balls and changeups to be successful.  Shows what I know.

I still think Jon Gray would be more successful mixing in more curve balls, but Bud Black seems to like the fact that he sticks mostly with his fast ball.

I think the best starter we have now is Marquez, and I didn't think he'd make the team.  Deadly curve ball.

I just hope ICE doesn't raid us.


I'm glad this is not happening.  It seriously messes up the NHL season for two weeks.  Couple that with a week for the All Star farce and that's three weeks in the middle of the season.

Good for the NHL.  Lets face it the Olympics has become a lot of hype for not much at all.


Hawaii is a joke


And think we could get 8 more years of Obama, thank you Hillary.


You're right, of course.  It's remarkable what Trump voters will believe.  Just s sad bunch.


"SWAG" stands for Scientific Wild-Assed Guess.  It's what passes for science when the science doesn't truly exist.

I chose a random date because no one can give an answer to my question whether I suggest a date of tomorrow, 5 years from now, 10 years from now or any other date.  The science to answer that question does not exist!

Nor does the science to answer my second question.  Why should the society write a multi-billion dollar  blank check for something which not only doesn't currently exist but for which a theory hasn't even been developed?

As an agnostic, I resent your attempt to knock my argument down by labeling my response as 'sinful religious conservatism'.

I am a conservative; I will not pay for a pig in a poke when you can't even tell me the size of the poke or the gender of the pig or anything else about this alleged pig which no one has ever seen.  Try selling me a unicorn; you will get the same response.


There's nothing to defend. Trump is doing great.

The fact the fakestream media hasn't figured out that Clinton lost and the election is over isn't the Trump supporters problem.   At this point, the fakestream is meaningless noise.


Do we really know why she came here and from where?  What made her leave home and never go back. Judge not.


All the lost souls.


5:45 pm on Monday.  The only reason this made the paper is it happened in front of the ADN offices!  Can anyone tell me why 8 police cars were on the corner of 4th and D on Sunday morning  at 3 am?  I haven't read a word about that!


Oh, Wavey, you hypocrite!


She won the popular vote and should have been our president.  True, she ran a weak campaign and made many mistakes.  That said, she is far superior to Trump.  The damage Trump will do before he steps down in disgrace, if not impeachment, is untold.  I fear for all of us.


Those doing the violence were actually worse than the KKK and Nazis combined. Why? Radical leftists like they have the largest body counts in human history.


Actually, most of my single friends are on match.com, tinder etc. so again I don't know what you are talking about.


Statists are so stupidly narrow-minded that their only solution to anything is always another law.


Your sarcasm detector is broken.


Why? Because Pretty Boy doesn't want anyone cutting in on his photo. And, by the way, this guy now wants to be referred to as: Mr. President. Got it?


At least we are now moving in the right direction.  Let's keep the momentum going!


LW1 is not just trying crying and blaming others. They're asking for advice to help their family situation. Breaking light switches and doors is not productive, I agree, but people aren't perfect and things like that will happen sometimes when people live in a stressful environment.


I thought the dollar would drop but it is up 2 cents since I started to buy US banks, and Oil stocks as I was hoping to get a 7 to 8 % gain on the loonie, I added to my positions a couple days ago but it must be other currencies moving into Canada to pay for housing or buy our stocks which are also running up. I think it will continue with the RRSP season in front of us(you know buy high and keep the poor sucker in paying fees strategy)  it will continue for a few more weeks. Really the dollar will come under pressure when the fed starts pumping US interest rates as for a lower rate in Canada not going to happen. I have reset myself the 5% currency gain as the 7 to 8% is not going to happen. Timeframe is a year as I was also hoping for an earlier out point that now looks reasonable. Globe maybe find out who is buying the loonie it would be good to know.


I see no disrespect here. They worked hard to fill their freezer in the most respectable way, hunting, and set a hat on it because the cubs were playing in a few days.


The Mueller witch hunt is a disgrace.  Over the past week I've listened to the elitist, left wing lunacy that the Trump presidency somehow evokes some dystopian future dreamt up by a kooky, Canadian, left wing,  NIMBY, writer.  At the same time, the same left wing has no issues with the troubling, shadowy and strongarmed approach of the Mueller investigation.


Isn’t a municipal ordinance in Anchorage that cats are not supposed to run loose?


The Auto Pact was great.  It kept manufacturing and jobs in Canada. We need more deals like that, not these "Free Trade" deals that make it easy to ship jobs overseas.


m: Proof? None. Nothing but fake news and delusional thinking. PS: Like it or not he is your President too. But you already knew that.


"Our fishponds, archaeological sites, kalo terraces, springs, navigational skills, mo'olelo passed down are enough for sustainability and set knowledge for the betterment of Hawaii nei."  With all due respect I disagree.  I'm part-Hawaiian and like it or not at the present time with the internet, air travel, etc..... we are part of the WORLD economy.  The telescope MAY give your children a higher IQ level or scholarship as I understand money from the TMT project will get set aside for Hawaii's student's for education.  I'm all for keeping and not losing our culture, yet "we" need to join the rest of the world.  If we hang on to the past and try and make that our future, we'll get left behind.  Aloha.


nope


What a joke.  First we can see what happens following Obama's guidelines...the crime rate goes up. What we see going on in the mainland, and what the ACLU seems to support is not protests, they are riots.  The first amendment does not protect the destruction of property. And if 100 people are damaging property the ACLU doesn't want mass arrests, so arrest 3 people and let 97 go.  The ACLU is a organization made up of liberals Whose matto is "it's alright for us but not for you.  ACLU defended the homeless against the police in Las Vegas untill the homeless moved into their doorway, then they demanded removal. Or Rosie O'donnell's campaign against all guns, except the one carried by her son's bodyguard. The ACLU knows as much about policing as the City and State knows how to cut the budget or build something on time and under budget.


Juvenile post.

I note that you provide exactly zero information  to support your apparent opinion - difficult to ascertain through your illiterate post - that this article isn't fact-based.

Anything adult to contribute?


I don't know, why don't you roll over and ask your friends?


Goodbye Felicia!


Less outrageously wasteful is not the same as thrifty.


It can't be, it lacks motive and intent. This sounds like the moment everything just went to hell in a handbasket. I hate to say it but definitely one of those moments guns should Not be involved! Or knives for that matter. How many knife fights have occurred in this exact situation? Uh, countless. I feel so sorry for what the families are going through there are no words. The video said something along the lines of "bring that ***to my house ***", wonder what was brought to the house? drugs? If guy had a previous conviction of drugs and someone brought drugs into his house I could see the threat....kind of. Guess we will have to wait and see.. This is obviously not a kill with intent situation, something went very wrong. It doesn't make it ok by any means, it's tragic for all.


Any texting while driving is imprudent and distracting.


A bunch of kids jumping on someone who is trying to kill them is a demoncrats wet dream. If teachers want to protect their kids, they need to be armed, and they need to keep their mouths shut, and don't tell anyone, don't let anyone know. So when the time comes, they can actually protect their kids, instead of seeing them die like the demoncrats want.
Politicians care nothing for people, nothing for nation, nothing for religion, they care only for one thing: power. They will sacrifice anything and anyone for that power.


Sad that some medical prophesionals are so behind and so busy that it takes so long for a proper diagnoses and treatment. CDC has old papers from the 80s showing proof of congenital lyme stillbirth lyme babys and babys born with lyme and deformitys. Concerned 12345 sad really that u are not listening to the science that has been done, and noting the positive cases in oregon of co infections as well as lyme in not only humans but also the animal community. yes more studies and testing would be amazing to have, and is some going on even with long term abx being used and in 2-5 years remision for ones suffering, so amazxing that these ones get the needeed help and get well. abx are prescribed for minor things such as acne long term, how are u saying that its unsafe to take abx for a disease longterm, sillyness. I hope all get the help they need,  even if that is education. Oregon lyme disease networks, international lyme disease network, LDA, all good places and helpful . healing and love


The Senate posted the memo on its site and asked Comey to testify. His notes are not classified as he and Trump were not having a classified conversation and the Senate wanted to know about those conversations. Comey was as fair and honest as can be in his statements-- he did not try to do a hatchet job-- just got the facts out.  Here is the bait-- his testimony. Trump cannot stand it and is already responding on Twitter-- judging from what he is saying. He will not make things better but worse by tweeting. His attorney needs to stop him.


When will the GOP stop throwing good (competent) people under the bus?


The bottom line is, Liberals, who most likely don't believe in God but in Darwinism, are not letting natural selection take its place, therefore hurting the human race.  Are the ugly/fat/sick/weak allowed to live in the animal kingdom (which greenies/Libs so vehemently defend)? The animals take care of those problems - and do so through brute strength/don't get to breed. It just shows the utter hippocracy of the left.


Truly cutting humor Mr Keillor---So much so I think more than half the Trump supporters won't get it, which is just as well...


Monsef just called all Muslims "violent" as abortion is against the fundamental tenants of the faith.

Use your words Alceste...is that islamophobic?

Yes or no?


Don't worry. The really busy and successful ones don't have time to blog in a Globe and Mail forum like the unsuccessful xenophobes do.


Why does this require a federally-funded study? Couldn't the industry itself fund the study? Why must the taxpayers do it?


Again..  his mouth is bigger than his brain. His mouth is bigger than his hands... lol.


I'm brown skinned leeward coast bred and educated so take your white racist comments and shove it up your okole.  I also have more faith in the second jury that found ore thank james liable and the Vegas jury that found him guilty of robbing the hotel room. Time to pull your head out of your arse and get back to reality.


No income tax yet - and if we get one agree, NO dividend, I am not paying tax on my income to give it away to others


Comey told the truth? I thought he was lying? It's so hard to keep up with the Trumpster's ever shifting narratives.


Sounds like you need a good Bible thumping.


If Trudeau opens our borders to economic immigrants fleeing the US, Kevin O'Leary (a.k.a. Trump Lite) will be laughing all the way to the ballot box.


Wynne has been a catastrophe for Ontario. With a huge appetite for big spending and dismal ability to deliver results, Ontario is now uncompetitive and with a high cost economy. Before it is too late we need to get our economy to become competitive, we need to control the unions and we need health care which is not rationed by a centrally planned communist government. In other words... we need CHANGE


And you have accused me of fantasy, and of cooking up fairy tails. Take a pill and reflect, AT, on knowable facts, which don't include your facile assumptions about the movie-watching habits of people you don't know. We know from the videos of the last election campaign, however, that a whole lot of Republicans hate with a vengeance every liberal, every inner-city black who doesn't "Stepenfetchit", every migrant worker who brings salad to your table, and every person who wears a scarf over her/his head. Back off a little, think more, relax, and put away your attitude. Make friends. As Trump says, we all must unite as a country behind Il Duce.


Popular vote means nothing and the left need to get over it.  Justin and the libs spewed this nonsense that the election process was wrong until they got in.  Win within the system, or change the system.

As far as the media and groping stories.  In the past the media would have stuck to issues and asked real questions and reported real news.  In the past, the media included real journalists, no longer though.  If this type of media digging was going on in the past, do you think Bill Clinton and JFK would have gotten a pass ?


With a much lower per capita income.


Taggart needs to run laps and do push-ups with all the players who committed penalties due to lapses in focus. There were too many for the second week in a row. He also needs to recognize what a mistake it is to virtually shut down his passing game just because Herbert threw his first interception. Shutting down the passing allowed Nebraska to key on the Ducks' running game, thus shutting it down as well, and putting more pressure on the defense. Not a good plan, and just lucky it worked out this time. Just keep the foot on the gas offensively and challenge the opponent to keep up.


It seems that West lead by US is determined to have a war with China. Americans are advised to look into their failures in Korea War and Vietnam wars.


I can still hear the itinerant tent preacher rant: "Abbbnegationnn, mmmmooortificationnn and ssssself deniallll......Pass the hat"


You can't blame Trump for protecting his border !
You can, however, blame someone for tossing out a carte blanche welcome for anyone and everyone that wants to live on our Canadian Welfare !
How stupid to invite the very people that Trump wants to ban !
 We will all pay for our  Leader's  stupidity in the long run !


Better than all of the other sprawl over there.


And all this time I thought it was the Bolivarian collectivist government obliterating property rights and destroying incentive for the productive class.

Thanks for clearing that up.


You're thinking  of your closet warrior


TOD is just a land development scheme that does nothing for local residents except raise prices and costs of everything. TOD developers want to force out local residents and low income so they can sell land to foreign buyers.


Calling Lamar Smith's Committee the committee on Science is a real misnomer - it is really the Committee on Non-Science. And why is a U.S. House Committee doing work on behalf of a Canadian company?


Dear Register-Guard,
     This does not feel like news. It feels like gossip. I feel like I have looked into this family's personal business.  I saw it first today in the paper edition while eating soup and it turned my stomach. The RG can do a better job and yet become a first rate paper.


Whereas here in Lane County, there are five (5) private companies providing garbage service that goes to common landfills.

There is a large Corporation that makes enough money providing those services in several States and in Canada that they even sponsor golf tournaments.

It's called Waste Management.  http://www.wm.com/about/index.jsp

"The company's network includes 367 collection operations, 346 transfer stations, 293 active landfill disposal sites, 16 waste-to-energy plants, 146 recycling plants, 111 beneficial-use landfill gas projects and six independent power production plants. Waste Management offers environmental services to nearly 27 million residential, industrial, municipal and commercial customers in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. With 26,000 collection and transfer vehicles, the company has the largest trucking fleet in the waste industry."

You have too narrow a view of the world.  The world does not end at the Hudson River.

"Government" = "parasite".


Keep milking it folks, like there are no other issues in our country.


It would great if the GOP would keep wasting time on this Purple Supremacist nonsense, once they drag their feet enough to push the USA over the financial cliff nobody will ever vote for them or The Establishment Democrats again. There will be no illusions foisted upon The American People  with fake news of whose fault it is.


I was completely set on agreeing with you until I found out on the first day of school someone tried to snatch a 14 year old girl at the high school down the street and an autistic boy was beaten up by two other kids just outside of another local high school. No one was caught. That changed my perspective


AGW is nothing but FRAUD only the mentally challenged believe in.

A simple greenhouse test:

- 20x20x8' greenhouse has 3,200 cubic feet
- The amount of CO2 is 1.28 cubic feet
- Does any grown sane adult honestly believe adding or removing 1 cubic foot of CO2 from the greenhouse is going to magically change the temperature by 2C?

If this was true why would anyone need to pay for energy to heat their house? All they would need to do is put a clear bubble on their roof and fill it with 100% CO2.

- The amount of CO2 increase since 1960 is equal to 7x7x7" in the greenhouse. Does anyone think this makes a difference?

- The fact is 224 cubic feet of CO2 is required to make the greenhouse temperature rise by 1C, about 70,000 PPM.

MSM and governments are scam artists, brainwashing the ignorant masses with fairy tales while they are taxed into oblivion.


It should be built. There is more risk and cost to the environment with the present set up. We have tankers coming in full and leaving empty. There is less environmental risk with the pipeline bringing oil from the west. Then the tankers leave full - and can be stalled if the weather is bad or if there are other issues that would cause a hazardous situation. There are pipelines all over the place now -you just don't see them since they were built so long ago. Rail cars are mush more hazardous. It is a proven fact, both statistically and anecdotally.


As someone who travels the country for my job, I can say that Texas has the worst drivers in the country, Houston and Dallas drivers are dangerous.  I have worked in Denver and can tell you they do not have the worst drivers.  If you want to see the worst drivers in the country, look for the people coming over from India, I almost got rear ended because I came to a full stop at a stop sign.  My neighborhood has a big influx of Indian people and they drive like they do in their country.


So much winning.  So much winning.  Cheers -


If school like chance um and move up...cool. Designate within a certain amount of time. But the basic premise should be based on size. If Kahuku like dominate the smaller schools, up to them, but I doubt they would. Pride. This may not be perfect, but fair.


Thank you Governor for your dedication and good efforts in this matter and others, for the future betterment of the state and the hard working folks who have made Alaska home.
Premium amounts coming down 20%, even off of higher rates, is pretty substantial for Alaska and hopefully portends more good to come for the future mechanics and math of how we finally get a handle on the costs of health care for Alaskans and Americans as a whole.


you are a criminal for looking at your phone while crossing the street--but people "camping" on government property have a free pass?  both are unenforceable.


I am surprised over-sensitive political correctness did not delete "Says me" comment


One year in, the Liberals have turned a surplus into a deep deficit (a government operating deficit no less) - and, like their Ontario counterparts, are eying Canadian assets just ready to rush them to the nearest pawn shop.

You can only go to a pawn shop so many times before you're beaten on the head by the three golden balls above the door.

Thank goodness that highways are under the control of the provincial governments, or else the federal Liberals would be pawning them as well.


and putting in his own gators.  What do you think this guy was doing all this time while investigating corruption, regardless of the party?  Try to pay attention.


There is much more to +Mark Seitz  Read this!

"Carrie Gehling, who has lost both legs to diabetes and has suffered four heart attacks, needed a kidney transplant after years of dialysis. Her medical history made her a high-risk candidate and she needed to find a live donor herself, the Dallas Morning News reports."

"The 45-year-old Gehling turned to her pastor at St. Rita Catholic Church, Msgr. Mark Seitz."

"Msgr. Seitz, thinking about where his parishioner could find a donor, said he thought to himself 'Why not me?'"

"Testing proved he was an acceptable match. Gehling, hearing he would be her donor, said she would call the gift her “holy kidney.”"


What a great idea ! The photographer must be a very generous and kind hearted person!
It's a great way to raise money to help the critters in Texas ! (Four legged ones)


Sorry BCLibs: Too late, too little, and not likely to be believed.


Sweet Karma.


Francis is trying to show you that pastoral practice--mercy, specifically--is dogmatic teaching.


A few years ago Air Canada, in an attempt to cut costs, simply substituted Rouge in Western Canada as a replacement for it's regular service on many U.S. routes out of  Vancouver and Calgary.

There was no corresponding fare cuts though as Air Canada (Rouge or otherwise) fares remain in lockstep with not only West Jet pricing. but other carriers operating out of Canada.

I suspect West Jet will follow this model and substitute it's new "carrier" on many runs, whilst still keeping price on a par with Air Canada.  The customer will see a substantial service reduction, and very little price savings.


And there you have it: Trump making promises on the campaign trail about things of which he is completely ignorant, and never even thought about. Then he talks with someone with a modicum of knowledge and voila! maybe he won't do the grotesque thing he promised his minions he was going to do; instead he'll "think about it." Meanwhile he's making Bizzaro World appointments of people to carry out as nihilistic an agenda--often personal--as I have ever seen.  People whose positions are about as extreme as you can get, and who will abuse any power they are given, regardless of the consequences to the country and the people who live within it. Bye bye social security, bye bye medicare, bye bye compassion and empathy, there's a new sheriff in town with a monstrous posse.  Tough luck grandma, grandpa. You cost too much to maintain, you've gotta go. Disabled? Pick up your tin cup and choose your corner. Orphaned? Trump has plans to put you to work.


That is truly a grossly over exaggerated statement. A quick check of facts has Toronto way down the list at 14.2 cents per KWH, Boston 30.3, NYC at 28.9, Boston at 30.3, San Francisco at 27.69, Chicago at 16.79, Halifax  at 16.3 and Huston at 12.36.
But facts are never part of your reasoning, they just get in the way.


The person I directed my comment to said, "...especially when the bigger boats push down on the smaller ones."  I was being mildly facetious to his hyperbolic comment by using the reality that two objects cannot occupy the same point in time and space; thus, his analogy was a straw man due to displacement effect.

I'm sure you got it, though, right?


GOOD!  Best thing that could happen!


Hey TDS sufferers, MAGA and he is!


Ours is not to reason why. Ours is to do or die.  I've quoted Bush before. ..." you stand with us or you stand against us "...    I am not saying that his saying that to the world was good or bad. I'm just pointing out that we don't need permission from Yemen (?) to go  after terrorists.


Agreed - the transparency and auditing of government spending is critical now. Not user friendly public info on this.


Two out of three of the proposals make good sense.  The US exists in a competitive world, and our tax system needs to take that into account.

Multinational corporations, whether the parent company is based in the US or abroad, make decisions all the time about where to put the next manufacturing plant, research center or headquarters.  The US's current corporate tax rate of 35% puts the US economy at a serious disadvantage when almost all our trading partners have rates of 15% to 20%.  Get the jobs and wealth here!  Lower the corporate rate substantially  --- whether 15% or 20%.  Find sensible ways to raise revenues with other taxes, such as energy or financial transaction taxes, VAT, border adjustment taxes, changes to individual rates.

Profits held overseas produce no tax revenue.  Charge a much lower rate and bring the money home.  This will produce substantial one-time tax revenues and bring more wealth into the US.

Full expensing of capital investments makes no sense.


This line of thought does not feel contradictory to me.   The timber industry is part of the fabric and history of Oregon and is not going away. I am as appalled as anyone by the reckless forestry practices in the past but have to believe that we are beyond the most destructive of those. I realize that there is a much bigger climate change picture here and that insightful and proactive forest management can only go so far toward restoring the natural balance of our forests but I believe it is entirely possible to manage the forests in a way that will not harm the environment and still support the timber industry.


And you have a remarkable ability to ignore.


Candidate Stock doesn't ;-) LOL


Huge difference.


RD just wants to sneer at Obama.


Maybe I don't understand your point - do you want to do away with all deductions?

That's a reasonable position - however, I doubt most middle-class folks would be in favor of eliminating the mortgage interest deduction, for instance.  So, neither Dems nor the GOP will ever actually propose it.


MMIW inquiry is complex by its very nature.
One starts to wonder if it's being sabotaged.
Someone doesn't want facts to come out.


While this Zuma individual is allowed to stand as head of the ANC then it obviously stands to reason that they, the ANC top six are perfectly happy to support a man who is now a suspected criminal.
Shame on them! They make a mockery of both themselves and this country as long as this Jacob Zuma is permitted by them to sign bills into law in OUR name.


"How Canada can support immigration in the era of Brexit and Trump"
This 'immigration' term is all purposely misleading by the media and certain opinion-shapers.
As the word immigration states, you assume  it comes from different areas of the world, but what Canadians are getting, mainly,  is people from one particular part of the planet not vent on assimilation , rather their wish is to impose their political-religious ideology, on this country's  naive citizens, aided of course by a sympathetic PM agenda to eventually allow their barbaric practices in Canada.
Beware.

Dr. Reich seems far more sanguine about Trump's  likely long-term impact on our world than I am!
I think our defense department leadership can keep us from an atomic holocaust; I'm crossing my fingers the Federal Reserve and Congress -  while they may not get us to a sustainable, wealth-sharing path of sensible growth, I do think they can keep us from another crash so closely following the last one.  Troubled health care & health policy,  faltering education, an ever-increasing social crudity, and expanded violence are fates we are likely to be stuck with - with or without Trump. We may still have opportunities to address those things in the future if we decide they merit attention.
No, My major worry is that we don't really have that kind of time to waste on addressing the rapidly growing impacts of global warming: 4 to 8 years of Trumpian denial & regressive policies seems more than we can really afford! If Reich were an Alaskan he might better appreciate the priblem's immediacy!


LOL. Love the responses to your bait. !! What a bunch of anti"s !!


"We see it in the streets with people actively smoking marijuana and driving."
Yeah, those vape pens are never used for tobacco. The puffs of smoke out the windows are never cigarettes, right? Sounds like a little fear-mongering to me, which is exactly what the Post tried and failed when Amendment 64 was approved by rational and mature adults.


We are talking here about settled doctrine which has been undermined by a handful of prelates led by Cardinal Kasper. Communion for the divorced and remarried was never an issue prior to the Synods.
There was no consensus within the Synods for a change so the status quo should still prevail.
The vast majority of the First World laity may consider themselves highly educated but that is no proof that they are. Catechesis has been so poor and haphazard that most Catholics' knowledge of their Church and its teaching is in the 'little learning' category which we all know is 'a dangerous thing'.
As for the internet, I agree. It provides a smorgasbord of differing takes on Catholicism, enough to persuade anyone that their particular vices are no longer immoral, in some cases even virtuous. Everyone these days seems to have an opinion on what 'Jesus would do' when faced with today's situations: usually what Jesus would do is what they, themselves, would do.


Here's what Ed Kilgore at NY Magazine had to say:

"The bottom line is that Trump has a much better chance of getting through this “crisis” than Nixon did when he “massacred” a special counsel and the Justice Department officials defending him. The key thing to watch is whether congressional Republicans decide in large numbers that Trump’s stonewalling over Russia and his generally imperious habits are endangering their grip on the Legislative branch in 2018. If and when that wall breaks, and the GOP no longer feels a need for solidarity with its president, then depending on what is underneath all the furor, Trump and his associates could be in real trouble."

But that's a big "IF." Isn't it a sorry indictment that when the Republicans in Congress are staring at the very real possibility that high treason has been committed by the Republican president, the one and only thing that will absolutely ensure that they do the right thing is craven self-preservation. Pathetic.


I'm fed up about hearing about poor old tRump and his really bad investments.  If you try to invest in a business and make a mockery of it, why should taxpayers have to come behind and clean up one's  financial mess?  Nothing tRump does financially is LEGAL!  tRump belongs in jail.


You're going to blast away at a shadow in the bedroom? Could be one of the kids with a toothache.


She is addicted to the drug.

There must be other medications which are not as addictive, that would give a sufficient level of pain control without the dependency and addiction.

Addiction is living for the sake of a thing, and then it is not possible to change the medication, because the patient acutely needs that medication or will go into withdrawal.

If I was a clinician, I would not want to use a solution which entrenches itself, and cannot be adapted, tweaked, or modified - except in increasing doses.

It would be preferable - to get perhaps 80% of the pain management - to a point the patient can function - and retain the control.

That's why I am more in support of medical marijuana and other softer alternatives in such circumstances where there is chronic use of the medication.


Teams like Denver should form draft/trade alliances against the big market Super Teams.  It matters not if you win 43 games or 23, as you have no chance of even being in your conference final (never mind actually competing for the championship) - thus you should trade ALL your good players to one of the other teams in your alliance in exchange for their draft picks (and any duplicate skill players on their roster).  Every three or four years you take your own turn with having the good players.  You'd probably need at least three teams to make it work, but that's about the right cycle time anyway.


Boy is Trump doing a good job!


"He said the damage may have been caused by a vessel strike or other "heavy contact", but investigators are waiting on tissue tests and other results to determine exactly what happened" - Paul Cottrell, Pacific marine mammal coordinator with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

So, there is a possibility that this orca was pummeled by one of the  5000+ ships that currently load and offload at Port Metro Vancouver every year?

Well obviously we can't have that.  Shut down the port!   (Sarcasm off)


It's a sad day on planet Earth when you can't laugh at something serious


First and foremost is total population.  Whether high skilled or low skilled, the more bodies we have, the more resources they consume.  So slowing the overall population growth rate should be the top priority within the immigration quotas.  Then WITHIN those quotas, I'd deal with the "quality" issue you rose (i.e. giving preference to value-added immigrant applicants over less value-added).

Of course, that's all LEGAL immigration.  The obvious priority above all that is stopping illegal immigration dead in it's tracks.


Safety features maybe annoying but where did your mention of repairs have anything to do with this car?


So she is suggesting that minorities are not intelligent enough to grasp math? Isn't that racist to suggest that?
Problem solving 101 tells us to get to the root cause of the problem. Something that might point us in the right direction is a recent study that reveals that urban public school systems are graduating students with an average 8th grade reading proficiency and 4TH GRADE math skills.
Hmmm. could that be somewhere near the root of the problem?


Can you explain what the difference is between a Liberal and a Red Tory? I honestly don't know. I suppose a "Red Tory" government would be somewhat more responsible than what we have now, but that's not saying much considering Trudeau Jr is the most financially illiterate PM we have ever had, barely edging out his marxist father.


This whole article is hogwash. The UAA ski team doesn't serve Alaskans; it serves outsiders. The article listed a handful of success stories; balance that against the tens of thousands of UA students who are there for an education-not to play games. The people of Alaska should not be paying the bill for a select few people-most of whom who have nothing to do with Alaska-to play in the snow. If students want to ski, they can buy their own skis and go to Kincaid-just like the rest of ordinary Alaskans.


We may be headed for that third world political climate. When will we see Donald on a balcony above the crowds wearing a generals hat with an ammo belt across his chest ?


Poor police surveillance and lax laws/courts leave society's weakest members at risk. Record number of civic police officers, earning 150k typing reports with two fingers, that should make their presence felt around the neighbourhood. And "soft touch" courts that want to give nefarious characters a second chance, and consideration for their "disadvantaged" childhood.  Law and order wasn't like that 30-40 years ago.


No, you are missing the point.  If I own a restaurant I can charge whatever I want for the items on my menu.  If I own a property I can charge whatever I want to rent it out.  If you don't like my fee schedule then go eat or go live elsewhere.


"Jason Kenney vows repercussions against B.C. over Trans Mountain pipeline"

I can see it now...Jason will form the Alberta Oil Patch Reserve Regiment headquartered at of course, Fort McMurray.

It's a well known fact that many well placed Conservatives and their supporters most without any prior military training are drawn to getting themselves appointed as Honorary Colonel's in Chief or other Ancillary Honorary Officer positions of reserve units so that they can don the regimental regalia and play pretend soldier in an abandoned hanger or legion hall on weekends, practice changing their colours and then reminisce over the Battle of Tip-A-Few!

A number of strategically placed surplus LAV III war memorials in conservative communities along the Alberta BC border will certainly intimidate the new government in BC into thinking twice about crossing Colonel "Digger" Kenney:)


Our Super Natural environment in BC will be defended. McKenna's carbon tax just doesn't cut it.


Vague claims ? Like the universe exploding out of nothing ? Or believing fairy tales about frogs becoming princes ? When you can give us a rational explanation for these you might get some listeners. Your career as a wiki scientist is fleeting Fishy. You are not an expert in "my religion" when you put yourself through college and seminary and have had years of mentoring I might listen to you, but at this point in time you are simply a crank on a website who uses canned arguments to push her agenda.

Day is referred to as a sunrise and sunset, as far as "age" I see no relevance at all the the discussion, what difference does it make ? It all had to begin somewhere and human dating methods to not answer the question of origin, case closed.


I would seem I am in the minority here because I see nothing wrong with his plan. Building easier and safer access to view the bears seems like a no brainer. This will protect both people from bear encounters and bears from the increasing human traffic. The only people that seem to be against it are the eco-snobs that would like to keep the backcountry all to themselves and not share it with anyone less capable or willing to travel unprotected into bear country. Money is what is needed to keep these bears safe, without money and the subsequent human management that comes with it, these bears would be getting shot by frightened tourists on a regular basis. As it is the tourists are regulated, and educated, and controlled so that the bears are remaining safe. This bridge will just expand that concept.


I see no one addressing it here, but . . .

I guess we can assume that autos - except those imported from China (like the very interesting electric car from Byd) - are about to become more expensive.


Only the unfit for the bench end up in Nome. Been that way since Nome as created.


Nigel - Why no analysis of the bill itself? This is just an anecdote about a few projects that have been funded well in the last couple years.  In reading some of the text of the actual bill - it leaves some big questions of ethics and responsibility - can we get your take on those real issues?


Is this "author" and the moderator who deletes well thought out posts the same person?


As it should be.  Well done.


are all conservatives anti-pot ?


Interesting. The poorest states in the US voted for Trump. The richer ones mostly voted for Clinton. Educated urban voters voted for Clinton. Uneducated and religious rural voters went to Trump.


"Listen to the people. Politicians, show some guts and listen to Canadians."
Perhaps bigMangione it is you who needs to listen to the people, and also read this article.
It points out that:
"Eight Canadians in 10 agree with the statement:  'The economic impact of immigrants is positive.' ”
It seems there is a cognitive dissonance with some people. No matter how many studies show that immigration is good for the economy, or surveys taken that Canadians support immigration, they think the guy who just arrived here is taking their job. Or overloading the neighborhood schools.
Why not look at the real culprit Ibbitson mentions in his column -- the fact that most of the wealth produced in last two decades has gone to the tiny  1% group.
If that wealth had been more equitably distributed we wouldn't be short of money for roads, schools, housing etc,  the issues you are complaining about.
Blame the system that permits this -- not immigrants.


Never heard of their Black Sea ports and Saint Petersburg?


Thank you for writing this. I am so frustrated by the masses that are not critical thinkers, merely passing on what they've read or heard without verifying anything, or even stopping to consider whether it could possibly be true.
Hitler said "“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
Do you believe me when I assign that quote to Hitler, or are you going to check for yourself before you say "Hitler said....?


and if Yak wants to whine about the demise of the ICC he should take freeland and trudeau to task DIRECTLY

the ICC was created by and  backed by previous liberal governments and it represents everything freeland said was important to canada   including international law and  international institutions

Uh, I think this loser's going to get a court-martial.  Pretty sure the service still looks down on their troops breaking the civilian laws and having to do time.  I think this guy's troubles are just beginnning.  What an idiot.

Oh, and the whole "this is a right thing" or "this is a left thing" is nonsense.  Both sides have their share of idiots doing unethical things to serve some political point.  The common trait isn't he's right wing or he's left wing.  The common trait is he's an idiot.


That's because lots of cash was involved.


the prevalence of criminals makes Alaska's police officers less safe..


No matter the clothing Don Young has been the most ineffective represenative in Congressional history.  He has set two records:
#1.  poorest attendence record
#2.  most ethics complaints
He has been stripped of any committee chairmanship position and has a reputation as "rude and bombastic".
Enjoy a retirement with your new wife--fish away, just not in DC.


The only thing more pathetic than the Wynne government are the people who voted for them.


Just like the state to late and 5 dollars short.  He's earning his way he's not sitting at the bottom of the trail asking for a hand out .  What's the problem?  His creative thinking is what's needed in the state capital . Politicians only know how to make ridiculous laws and tax one group to give to to the lazy. I say let him be.


Why would you be shocked that a system built by those who seek to follow the teachings of Jesus would show mercy to those who have sinned?


A vessel normally dedicated to science should not be enabling tourism in an area like the Arctic, acknowledged by many to be one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change?

"There is enough room in the garages even if each of these apartments has two vehicles," he said."
Will there be enough parking for downtown customers remaining in these garages after developers finish buying spaces at city-owned parking structures? Downtown needs customers more than apartments.

Hey Sergei,  Vlad would like you to know that you're doing a fabulous job posting for the Motherland.


This pope needs to stop exaggerating the differences between men and women as though they were any more important than differences between races.  They are not and all people are different and all people need to work together with equal respect in human dignity to change the world for good.  This same equal dignity can only be proven to exist where there is equal treatment of all people in all the groups.  In this case Pope Francis needs to change our laws and immediately treat women equally, by ordaining women to priesthood the same as men, as proof that he values them as equal human beings and equal Christians and equal representatives of Christ.  Otherwise, his unequal treatment thru unequal ordination practices proves he believes women are less sacred beings than men.  This inequity in treatment makes communal working towards peace and unity impossible to begin as pure hatred and misogyny are standing in the way.  True Unity comes from Peace which comes only from authentic Justice.

Average vetting of a refugees takes 17 months.

It's a good question because the current POTUS seems completely unaware and his misdirection leads the rest of us to question the same.


You brought  up five, so I'm bringing up one. Speaking of racism, wasn't it Democrat FDR who sent thousands of Japanese-American citizens to concentration camps?  They lost their homes and businesses in the process. That's the democrat way of economic distribution.  Don't talk to me about racism until you explain that.  So,was FDR a 'fine person'?
.
  Racism is ugly, yet some  people like your own Senator Robert Byrd of W Virginia was a Klu Klux Klan wizard that evidently mended his ways? ..... some  might say  he was a fine person. Trump never condoned racism like Byrd  did or  the liberal democrat party has done in their embarrassing past.  Look in a mirror before casting stones...Where racism is concerned, you have a party that's full of it.


Way off topic.


False equivalence is the handmaiden of the intellectually lazy.

Nope pure nightmare.....


I wouldn't trust Trudeau about China for all the tea they have. His father was fascinated by the corrupt communist state back in the day, an it appears his son is equally fascinated by the still corrupt communist state today. China is a despotic kleptocracy run by corrupt serial human rights abusers.


Monica, there is an excellent treatise on sex written by two  non-clerical theologians: "THE SEXUAL PERSON:
Toward a Renewed Catholic Anthropology" by Todd Salzman and Michael Lawler.

I very much respect the work you do.  In fact, count yourself blessed to be able to advocate for true refugees.  You may have caught my comment that several years ago, I applied to the Jesuit Refugee Service but was turned down.  Maybe it was because I was too old, or too married (I was separated at the time).  Maybe they had notions about ex-prosecutors.  Too bad.  It would have been a challenging, good life.  But I'm happy getting some wins for the disabled.

Good luck with your refugee cases.  They need all the good lawyering they can get.


Let's see....
"You're just whipping yourself into a moral frenzy, aren't you? Hillary was a bad mother who abandoned her children! I knew it all along! I read the National Review and make my own informed, educated opinions! That's why I passively supported a corrupt, racist, vulgar, misogynistic, ignorant, debt-ridden sexual assailant for president!
Persuasive."

How on earth could that possibly have been misinterpreted???   :-)

Insinuation that I only parrot what I've read in one source, inference that I passively supported someone.....

Please.

And I'm still looking for your comment - I have not given up...but with all the removed comments, it is a challenge.  Would be easier if I had the ability to find my own answer...then I could pinpoint it.  In that respect, Disqus was invaluable.


I used to work in commercial printing.  Lots of former convicts work in that trade as well, a couple of them said they learned the trade in prison.  This are the who learned from their mistakes and did well after they served their time.  That being said, I agree that some sort of community diversion program makes even more sense.


"Joseph already indicated that Kelly, who is coming off knee and wrist surgeries, would remain on NFI; the Broncos can’t keep four quarterbacks on the roster."

Well, that should do it for the Vance Joseph Experiment. He's completely tone deaf.

Osweiler started 7 games for the Broncos in 2015. He never once scored a TD in the second half of any of those games. His lack of talent was masked by one of the top 5 defenses in NFL history.

He's regressed since then and has ZERO motivation to succeed. He gets paid either way.

The guy behind him, Lynch, got beat out by Siemian. Enough said.

There is little to no upside with the QBs on this roster. They will all strive to avoid turnovers and "manage" the game. Kelly is the only one with upside who might actually move the chains for the first time in four years.

The facts are all in front of Vance Joseph. He's either blind or incompetent. Either way, the rest of us all know how this story ends.


Trudeau brings in carbon tax and now okaying oil pipelines and using taxpayers' money to build gas guzzling V8 engines. If he was serious about climate change he could have used the money he is giving to wealthy corporations to subsidize electric cars. The province could use the revenue from the carbon tax to do the same. Despite Trudeau's empty worlds on climate change his popularity has increased.


in Kim's back yard.


horseshit.....I know of many Asians who attended Ivy league and are comfortable in USD 60,000 a year jobs. Culture is critically important and you can't unlearn that.....in particular the Asians.

DeGenova's mention that there may be a better way to deal with the mess caused by Vision's policies got her a good smack down.  Reimer, Meigs, Dobrovolny and Robertson along with all the rest of Vision really all have to go...... and I was a big supporter and gave them my vote.  They have created a sad city of urban blight, empty storefronts, neighbor snitch lines,  bloated and incapable management and  misguided direction due to excess dependence on the creation of their own image and hype.   We are a city of  unhappy citizens who recognize that the mayor and his buddies have  one goal and it ain't us.  A fish stinks from the head, but in this case the whole fish stinks.


Andrea - if you actually believe that nonsense Brazil story, then I can fully understand how you could be duped into voting for Justin.

Unlike your fake news, there was actual video evidence of Justin beating up a female NDP MP.

Okay Fred, what Fred says about ISIS is valid and true, but whatever ISIS says ISIS is false because Fred said so.

And so the great Canadian take-over/sell out of Canadian real estate  by foreigners continues unabated. Our government seems impotent in the face of this.  The song says "This land is our land...."  Oh sure. Not just impotent, but unwilling


Ugh. This president* is the worst. And people on the right make the silly claim that the Obamas and/or the Clintons "despise" the military.


So Susan seeks out Dems and McCain, kind of the same, and shocks us with this revelation? Maybe you should interview Maxine Waters and ask her if Trump should be impeached.

I am not from Ontario but even I find this deal disgusting, especially for such a destitute province. The same issue arose in BC and they found a way to get to net zero. I can't believe she will get re-elected


I think it's short sighted to blame politicians, particularly those that seem to be most disliked for creating all of Canada's economic challenges.  If Canadians were so concerned about the economy they would show it by buying Canadian made products.  I do.  Do you?  How many pieces of Canadian made clothing do you own?  Now....ask yourself....are politicians the problem or are we the problem?


What the hell is algorithm analysis, and how can it judge the "quality" -- whatever that is, of my content?  Or do I even get to ask that question that way?


You;re not going to believe this but because they're NFL players, in the public spot light, they have a platform.  This allows them to be both players and activists and many other things.  Do you strictly define yourself by your career?  Has you career given you opportunities outside of just that?  I haven't heard any of them state that they're a moral authority or that you must listen to them.


Fair enough.

I spent a few minutes last night (probably more than I should have!) reading about our vice presidents.  It's interesting that Cheney appears on many (if not most) lists of the worst VPs; but he also appears on some lists of the best VPs.  I guess it depends on the perspective of the person thinking about it.
My thinking about Cheney is driven by the fact that he was truly consequential -- that his thinking, his worldview, was what President Bush acted on, to his own detriment and ours.
Of course, history continues to unfold, and I don't exclude the possibility that our present VP, an apologist for and enabler of (and would-be successor to) the most corrupt, incompetent and unstable president is history, will turn out to be worse than Cheney was.


"Respectfully, Congress already wrote a perfectly good law. I would follow it."  Bless you, Justices Gorsuch and Thomas!

We need to pressure our state legislators, "under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress."


A new right as codified by the founding fathers in the constitution as the second amendment? Musta taken a page from the liberal handbook on a living breathing adaptive Constitution then.


The members of this "working group" would do themselves a big favor by "monitoring" developments in Chicago and keeping the USCCB membership fully informed.  Cupich is onto something that the group needs to keep abreast of!

I wouldn't worry about BMI on an individual level, it was meant for measuring populations which evens out the differences in body types.  Get your body fat measured.


There should be a law in Canada like in  France.

The French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols would be well received by our secular society. Then we wouldn't have to argue about restrictions on freedom of expression and thought by religious intolerance.


So what is the solution? A free pass into Canada for people who are already deemed inadmissible?


Exactly, uninformed Kool-Aid drinkers.


And how rude do you have to be to condem someone showing people the kindness in their heart. I know who the victim is and he is one of the smartest people I've ever met. So to call him stupid without even knowing him, is out of line. He sees the good in this city and he shouldn't be called stupid for it. Especially when you don't know the entire story because this is the worst article written about this case. And this did not happen at night as stated in the article above.


Move it to Kona!

The Cards were swept over the weekend by the Cubs. The Rockies, Brewers and Cards are all flawed teams, but one of them is going to the playoffs - and no matter which one makes it, they will be there in part because of wins recorded by other teams.

I wholeheartedly agree with Tony.  Everyone needs to remember that businesses ship less goods because their customers are ordering less. Why is that?
The answers start there.
I believe the issues that need to be discussed are productivity and innovation.
Because the day you fall behind in either is the day your customer finds another supplier.
Is government a factor in all that... for sure.
But so is geography, entrepreneurial ambition , work ethic,  etc.
If the business leaders in small medium manufacturing start thinking " its all the politicians' fault "( name your boogie man Lib Con NDP)  we really are doomed.


Good point, but there were two guns, and unless they were both in the hands of one, at least one could have stopped the other.

You're no patriot. Just a socialist/ communist / liberal who has no clue,  while living with mommy and daddy.


Nope. I'm willing to pay a sales tax if need be but the only real fair way is to take the dividend. It is unfair that only certain working people have to pay an income tax to support all those who don't work. Take the stupid dividend. It's simple, will cut an entire state department without adding a new state department.


Seeing as our Prime Minister remains enormously popular with the public, clearly the posters that populate every single article about Mr. Trudeau with their juvenile and baseless digs are going through some sort of internal catharsis. The problem is that you're just flat out wrong.

The PMO and Mr. Trudeau have been virtually pitch perfect in their response to Mr. Trump's ascension to the White House. They have been strategic with personnel decisions and have said all the right things. Every single expert in global affairs, trade issues, and the US have said virtually the same thing.

Go back to your crying towels and stop polluting the internet.


Who would want to? That is why they are coming here.


Four anchors... nice if you have the money, which the CBC doesn't.

The real problem with the CBC is it is extremely pro business on Newsworld, and its news coverage tends towards political correctness and human interest stories - being all warm and fuzzy about underdogs and going along with taking the viewpoints of marginalized groups and identity politics. It accepts the convention wisdom of economists that is to the right on economic issues, and on social issues it panders towards the left.

Fix Newsworld or whatever it is called these days, and take a tip from Spinal Tap and move the news back to 11.

I retract the use of the words "white trash."  It was completely uncalled for and I can see that it is just as offensive as using the "n" word.  My apologies to those that might be offended.


Trump is creating the storyline himself. It is not the 'media'. The media is simply recording and reacting to the everyday upheaval. If Trump gets rid of the press, they would be on the road to authoritarianism, and we do know Trump loves dictators. He seems [and the Republicans beside him] seem to have no understanding of their constitution. So living next door to all of this can become hysterical.


I remember being reminded when I was in the military that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on a Sunday.

This was supposed to encourage those stuck with "the duty" to pay attention.

The best and the brightest are seldom at work on the weekend in a 24/7 organization.

Usually in the military the OD was the SLJO.  (Sh***ty Little Jobs Officer) and the NCOIC was the guy who was overweight, under-enthused and work averse but had been around long enough to keep the SLJO from screwing up too badly.

In the civilian world it seems to be the newest, most underpaid and risk averse.  Sometimes all three!


Home was NEVER a great company. Ask any mortgage broker. Except the ones that got away with fraud that is.


Of course, no one condones mass murder, implying a whole section of society does and needs to be kept in check by mass demonstrations of disapproval is insulting.

I heard that report on KKFN. There is nothing fake about reporting what the reliable source from Cincinnati told Sandy Clough.  He did not say the source came from Denver.  I agree it was a very unprofessional response from John Elway. I believe Sandy Clough's 40 years of stellar sports broadcasting far outshines John Elway's 5 year stint as a GM.  He wouldn't be doing his job as G.M. if he wasn't exploring all options. There is no shame in that. And, putting up a P.R. smokescreen is commonplace in pro sports. His rebuttal would have held more credence had he not coined a misguided phrase from arguably the most dysfunctional president in our nation's history (my opinion).

What? You think the basic braindead consumer of America is generating money for other communities? Please. Consumers consume. The amount of cash we spend to maintain Western suburban/urban ways of life is enormous. But you don't see it because you can't comprehend that not everyone lives that way. You aren't entitled to a life of ease just because you live in a city. It's past time for urbanites to start feeling the pinch so that the rural communities don't have to suffer as much.


I like how everyone said it was "scumbag drug addicts ruining Anchorage." Now no one is saying that, because you're all fucking fools with nothing in your lives except strife, make-believe or otherwise.


Personally I'm hoping that a storm front will move in two days before the eclipse making it only visible in other states!

"Saiki has said there are two “schools of thought” on the issue. Some argue that on major issues such as the vote on the rail bill, all lawmakers should be free to vote their conscience. Others believe that because the majority leader runs the Democratic caucus, that person has a responsibility to support and defend the caucus’ positions."
Regardless of your "Title", you have the responsibility to vote for your constituents. Applaud State Rep. Cindy Evans.


It was Spain.  Thanks for the downgrade offer, but... no thanks. A BIG no thanks.


Mr. Bryant

You are correct, rail police will be needed to man the stations not ride the train. I am the rail guy. How do we notify the police if we have a person down riding on the train. All along the elevated portion of the rail line there should be exit signs to tell us how to get down from the train. There should be directions within the trains telling people what to do if some thing happens. The problem being the contractor whom ever it is will put exit signs again the wall and not protruding out from the wall so we can see this sign in the night. This is always a problem. We solved this problem in Taiwan with the high speed train and exiting.

cheers


What is this ? 1817? Even 1917? How are we even having this discussion? If her name was Robert not Robyn, this wouldn't even happen.


...do a lot more research and read about ANILCA.  In case you don't know, decades ago true Alaskans voted to grant rural subsistence in the time of shortage, which is protected under Alaska's constitution.  There are non-Natives that live in rural Alaska so subsistence protection includes all rural Alaskans and not just the Natives.


How do we know she really got the threats? Leftist false flag hoaxes are so common that  I wonder whether she just decided she'd rather not give the speech and use this excuse to smear Trump supporters. Maybe not---but don't just take her word for it.


another waste of money
 they live in places with no real hope of a normal life, no o rlittle employment, education, health care etc
they need to move closer to the real world or be happy with what they have
 there is never enough money to correct stupidity


What did all those investigations lead to? WHAT? The Republicans investigated the crap out of all of those conspiracies and what charges did they bring? Republicans control everything now. Why didn't they bring charges? Why don't they bring charges now? Either the Republicans are guilty of dereliction of duty, are incompetent, or there is nothing to the charges. Chose one.....I believe its the last two....

Are you kidding me? Talk about a total misrepresentation of the facts! He didn't tell you it was his district that started this battle with him - we don't even know who that organization is he is citing in his article.

What Rep Colver REALLY did was to prevent a simple majority vote to access the Earning Reserve to fund the deficit (which was no where near $5 billion). Instead he told the house speaker to go compromise with the democrats to access a different savings account that required a 3/4 vote - which meant losing the hard won cuts that republicans had achieved.

No, Colver is a democrat masquerading as a republican to fool John-Q-Public so he can get elected in a conservative district. Don't believe him. He does not represent Alaskans or his district. It is his district who knows who he REALLY is, and as a result we want a solid conservative in his seat. That is why we support George Rauscher for state house in our district.


I can listen to these stories all day,,,,,,Sir you are a hero to me.

GMOs cross pollinate and their seeds can travel. It is impossible to fully clean up our contaminated gene pool. Self-propagating GMO pollution will outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. The potential impact is huge, threatening the health of future generations. GMO contamination has also caused economic losses for organic and non-GMO farmers who often struggle to keep their crops pure.

Well passed time to dump Trump and force him and his family out of DC.  Idiot voters that are responsible for putting him in office because, "Trump loves God," need to stay home next election.  Time for Trump voters to pull their heads out and realize Trump isn't in the White House for them, he's in the big House for himself and needs two terms to loot the nation's financial trough.


Please - the "transgender" skeleton - They found the skeleton of a man who was buried with things traditionally found with women in their burial plots. All that means is that he was buried with women's things. He could have been gay, he could have been thought a coward and this was a final insult - there is no way to determine what he thought about himself. After all, as he was the dead guy, he wasn't the one who put that stuff in the plot with him!


The Reform Haters.  Love Trump. Hate Canada.

Keep it up boys.  You do a service for Canada by reminding us daily about the enemy within.


Hey, guess what?  Anyone can play this game, even the Greens and NDP.  All they have to do is win the most riding elections by getting the most votes in each.  Just because two main parties are currently successfully occupying the centre right and centre left, where a clear majority of voters reside, doesn't make our system wrong.

What I think is wrong with our system is that MPs do not have enough power to influence votes in the House to best represent their constituents.  I still think that, with the exception of confidence votes,  all party whipped votes should be eliminated.  This would force a majority of  votes to be free votes, essentially approached as they would under a minority government.  Party leadership must convince, not mandate their MPs, to vote a certain way.  The power is returned to MPs and their constituents, away from the PMO.


You don't get it Lars, for years the man denied the truth on a relatively simple matter. Can you not see how dangerous that could be on more important matters? The country now waits while Trump hunts down Bat Child.


Go tell any WWII vet -- somebody who really knows what the genocide of 11 million people means -- that Nazis are rallying in his city, trying to organize and grow their group. Ask him what he thinks we should do about it. I guarantee you will not hear him utter the phrase "well don't be too violent with them, we certainly wouldn't want to do something as drastic as pepper spray a Nazi".


No one expects a bonehead to see the stupidity of the protesters either.


Mr Trump may be a buffoon but this constant drumbeat of negativism over everything associated  with him is getting boring. The old administration lost track of the needs and wishes of a huge part of the American population and is being booted out as a result. The new administration is going to try new ways to save and create jobs for their constituents. That will naturally offend those elites who liked running their own show in their own way ignoring the unsophisticated masses . But they had their chance and now someone else is getting a chance. Blindly shooting down everything proposed and every personality involved is rather naive and a highly presumptuous. And did I say: boring?

Read your own Report on Business where the need where we are constantly told that change and experimentation and creativity and empathy for customers and staff are brilliant things. So now all this is taboo? Mr Trump should just deliver the same old pap? Come on. Give me a break.


Gosh, I thought when you move to America from another country you would be responsible and learn the English language. I guess anything goes now days. I call it no respect for the country you are feeding off of, you know, because of the terrible one you moved from. But, why should this be a surprise?


BTW since you claim to be a professor of law (below), one would expect you to know and understand that insufficient evidence to lay charges does not equate to exoneration, which is something achieved only by a not guilty verdict.

At least, the professors I had in law school were cognizant of that distinction.


"Censuses, which date back to antiquity, usually had either taxation or military conscription at their root".  With the Liberals, taxation likely primary focus with the provision of services on a cold backburner.


This is just too much!  A killer terrorist . . . and we're supposed to apologise to him?

I hope Trudeau doesn't undertake to apologise, "on behalf of all Canadians," because he sure doesn't speak for me.

Trudeau . . . 28 months more till we can elect an adult to be Prime Minister of Canada.


you have all the appeal of a wet fart. keep getting your comments deleted for your sophomorism, I will kick back and laugh at you. It's been fun BP.


I thought that the First Amendment applied to all - even "Supporters of statues of Confederate traitors".

Or is there a double standard?

That was a rhetorical question.  Of course there is a double standard.  It is OK to violently resist Nazi's peacefully exercising their First Amendment Rights.  Or people flying the Confederate Flag.


Health Insurance. The biggest rip off in a generation.


"However, looking at Markit’s previously published “most shorted ahead of earnings” tables, we can see some patterns that indicate the profit opportunity may not yet be fully discounted"

You just put the strategy in the newspaper I bet that its fully discounted  now.


I suppose these groups take the name "Catholic" to draw away real Catholics who have not yet been lured away from Protestant sects that already teach the same things.

Wasn't the Catholic Church established by Christ and continues in the passing of the papacy from St Peter onward?  And if so, then isn't wherever the Pope is, that's where Catholicism is, even if the Devil has infiltrated the papacy?  Jesus never said "Catholic;" so if these schismatic churches believe that they are correct, then they believe they are correct about Christianity, not Catholicism.  That is, they are Protestants.


Hammer meets nail.


No Pebble.

That's what I would do if I saw Denver hurting. No need to pass. I think Talib would be pretty whiny having to fight off run blockers and tackling running backs all game long. LOL


I didn't miss anything about the witch hunt on nuns but it is obvious you did.


Perhaps I missed it but I don't recall reading anything in the article that says to the otherwise.  The the subject of the article is 1) a criticism of the deception of claiming Trump's tax reform proposal is to benefit middle class Americans, and; 2) maybe a backhand criticism of trickle down or "voodoo" economics because it is based upon dubious calculations that are, even by the administration's own officials, directly if not categorically disputed.
Though given your history of partisan lying I guess that's actually tame compared to past comments.


It was wrong in the print version, too.  I just checked mine.


I think that Michael Hancock, Mayer of Denver, Colorado and other political democrats that take what does not belong to them (American's taxes and our Social Security) to pay for law breaking illegal immigrants to house, feed, and pay for their medical/dental premiums, etc. YOU should dig deep in your pockets and start paying for these illegals/criminals to fulfill their needs/wants. Entering our country illegally is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE. All of these illegal immigrants s/b incarcerated for breaking our laws. OUR TAXES AND OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD NOT PAY FOR ILLEGALS!!   This is what the American people get when they give power to the liberal democrats. SAD BUT TRUE!! Please PRESIDENT TRUMP continue working for the American people and please don't fund Denver, Colorado any of our tax paying monies.  This is not our presidents fault--it's yours, Michael Hancock and the politicians that follow you.  You are a disappointment to your state and to our country.


Justin was a really good guy.. very kind and very generous... getting in a scuffle win a panhandler doesn't mean he started the fight or was beating the guy up. The dude left behind a wife and little son. He was a linemen... the guys who go out durin storms and fix the powelines to get the lights back on. He was the definition of a stand up guy.

So after a slew of bizarre explanations- rather than simply saying a mistake had been made and moving on, we now have a new story where an employee says she listened to a few passages being read, and then wrote them down without looking at the original Michelle Obama speech.

Either Ms. McIver has an amazing memory and can reproduce a couple long paragraphs after someone reads them, or she did take a gander at Michelle Obama's speech and is now lying.

You decide.

On the other hand, McIver is the first person involved with the Trump campaign to publicly apologize for making a mistake.


Neo-Nazis, yes - as well as Black Lives Matter, Anti-FA and various other violent hate groups on the left who try to silence and destroy anyone who dares disagree with their ideology. Confederates and ISIS are a very poor comparison.


No argument....

Seriously Neko....I really believe that to be true to our convictions we really must be very vocal this cycle....this is NOT a normal election, these are NOT normal "stakes" and if limits and boundaries are to be set on this cumulative disaster it's going to require a majority of folks who oppose these debacles to speak up and be counted....

Elected officials are not noted for their courage and if folks who are opposed to Trump stuff don't speak up loudly and in large numbers...great evil is apt to occur not only to those vulnerable folks impacted, but to our whole system.....

I would far rather hear from Robert Reich on these matters than the bishops....


At least Obama NEVER claimed there was a terrorist attack in Sweden.

Remember the Bowling Green Massacre. LOL!!!


Please enlighten me.


Whoever wrote this article must of did it while they were sitting on the toilet stoned. Its clear as the day is long their only purpose is to try to smear Trump while ignoring every thing the Crooked Witch did.
Go smoke another bowl


So what if it costs billions more to cut rates, the most important thing is to re-elect the Liberals with a majority??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


There is no contradiction, because the feedbacks (more clouds, snow) offset almost entirely what little impact CO2 has on warming.

One plausible theory that make more sense than yours is that if we'd paint all the building, rooftops, and roads white, the warming would vanish.


It frustrates me how some just flat don't care that about or don't understand that all this tax will do is raise the cost of living for low and middle income family's.  Maybe there needs to be a tax on being in a labor union.  Say 10% of their annual income including benefits.  Then add a 25% tax on their PERS and pension payments.  That way they can help fund their own members retirement.


Training and hiring local mechanics would be a good idea, for the airlines.    Bookumdanoaloha


It was poorly written and clearly inadequate for dealing with this issue.

Why didn't the Conservatives change this when they were in power?

Why didn't the NDP bring this motion forward when the CPC were in government?

That's your entire MO: Using any letter to denounce liberals. That's all you care about.


Based on what I've uncovered about where Wolbachia-infected Aedes mosquitoes, eggs, and larvae enter the food chain (and the correlation between massive chick and fish deaths), I believe Wolbachia is playing an inordinate role in the spread of disease and death among vertebrates.

For over seven years, Wolbachia-infected Aedes males releases have been taking place in Columbia, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, southern China, California, and Florida. And safety tests prior to these releases were only carried out on: spiders, spider eggs, soil samples, plant leaves, plant roots, earthworms, and millipedes (in Australia).

Wolbachia is a bacteria and reproductive parasite. There are many types. But the worrisome fact is that many aquatic species (such as copepods) and birds feed preferentially on the Aedes genus of mosquitoes (including their eggs and larvae).

It sounds like flippant sarcasm, Mcgravitas, but you speak truth.

"blame individuals..."  I do. Although, not as often or as vehemently as I once did.  The turning point: when I put myself and my family into an interactive income graph based on Stats-Can published in the G&M recently. Stunned: 68% of Canadian households are now earning LESS than my household did in 1986. Wow. Cost of living increases over 30 years make "saving more" an incredible challenge. Can be done, but NOT living the way people see "just folks" living on TV shows...

"Praise the system": I do. Quite simply, it makes our new retirement very comfortable. And wife recently found a way to actually INCREASE CPP recently. Nice.  (and also legal, I am quick to add!) Without CPP, OAP, we'd be living on Mean Street instead of Main Street.


I'd be ok with the Gripens, but the JAS39E isn't in full production yet. By the time our competition finish it may be, but we might have to stand in line. Unless we manufacture under license.


Oh ... dear ..now you call me 'Honey"? :)) How sweet ...
But, I think it is you who, needs to re-read the article.

When some people on this blog advocate  for the removal of tax exemption from the RC Church for "interfering" in political life, that is considered acceptable. But when Le Pen tells the pope that he should keep out of political fights in another country, then she is the nasty, hate-filled populist. :) I Just love this double standard.

BTW, where in the article is any reference to "kicking out all the dark skinned people and Muslims"? :))) Just a quick quote will do ... :)))


SirJohn,

Nixon was the only one of 45 American presidents to resign, although we will likely soon have number two. Nixon resigned after the process of impeachment had begun. Nixon could clearly see what would have happened had he not resigned.


Most gyms do have a rule about wiping down equipment and it is posted, or at  least in the membership rules.

And, no, doing "good work" after the fact doesn't excuse plagiarism. His PhD wasn't awarded in anticipation of the good work he might have done in the future.


They already have jobs and they ain't buying the cars now, why will they buy them when they are more expensive?

You forget Trump and his new Labour secretary are opposed to minimum wages and Labour regulations that stifle business.


While you're at it, you should make the engineers move all the telephone poles and trees next to the streets in Honolulu.  Many times speeding cars have slammed into these items. This is a unfortunate experience by some very good people.


Liberal media still trying to cause divide amongst Trump supporters... good luck with that.   Trump is not even president yet, but is already saving jobs and getting things done, which is exactly what the people voted for.   Little fragile snowflakes working for the media, still all upset and pouting.


A couple making $150,000 each (total $300,000) wouldn't be able to buy an average detached home in Vancouver.


Here we go again with a right sided minister declaring God chose Trump.  It is unintentional these ministers wish to use the pulpit to promote their political views.  Perhpas that is why the founders were so adamant to keep religion out of government.

Kaiser gets leftovers. If your kid is good, he ends up in the ILH, not just St. Louis or Punahou. That community can afford it. OIA on the East side is weak because they compete with the ILH. Look at Kalani. But Kalani performs better academically than other public schools,  real purpose of school. Parents need to be realistic about goals. Lots of small schools with good football programs on the mainland, they don't give athletic scholarships, help with financial aid or scholastic scholarships. Great article about a small college in Spokane, Wash., college of Dave Holmes, former UH football coach.


I've watched the SHS webcasts from 2015 season.  This #56 OL & Long Snapper plays as a man-child among boys.  As a former HS coach in SC I appreciate the hustle he displays throughout the game by covering punts and playing defense when called upon.  His decision is a big PAC gain and a SEC miss!  Hope to one day see him with the Cats at the National Champ game.


totally different stories.  Saville was investigated by the police, after victims came forward, not some tweet on "social media" .  Here is the result of this :

The process and public meetings are just for show. The real deals are cut in private behind closed doors. This charade will go on forever or until all the money is spent on salaries dinners and bar bills.


There is a story about a man sitting on top of a house during a flood. A rescue boat comes along and they say "hop In", the man says "no, God will save me". After awhile another boat comes along after the water gets higher. They say, "get in", the man says "no God will save me". the water is just about to wash the man off the roof and a helicopter flies up and the crew says, "we'll lower a basket for you", the man says "no, God will save me". Well the man gets washed off and drowns. When he gets to the Pearly Gates he says to God, "I have been a devout Christian all my life and in my hour of need you failed me". God said "what do you want from me, I sent two boats and a helicopter?

Sometimes the circumstances are just telling you what you are doing isn't working. Adding divinity to it is optional.


Violence is a symptom of social unrest, not a cause.

Both sides in Charlottsville engaged in violent behavior, but that is where the comparisons end. The Neo-Nazi/KKK/white supremacists have a long history of violence and intimidation. For various reasons, the election of Trump has re-awakened their desires to go after Jews and non-whites.

The rest of the country needs to stand up and resist these efforts. Ideally this can be done non-violently but humans are humans and often display aggressive behavior when threatened.


There isn't any "standard" for user names, excepting only rejecting ones if they are "abusive or offensive," and someone complains about them.

I use my own name.

You don't.

I'd rather everyone use their own real name.  Even folks like Richard Rhyner do use their names.

I think it's just as bad, maybe worse, to use an actual family and given name, that is not theirs at all, as if they weren't really trying to be deceptive. "Lars" B. is such an example. A good "Nordic" name for a good "Nordic" poster.  (Like Francis "Shaeffer" Cox.)

I assume that "Cole Dermot," is such a name, though probably meant more to be humorous, than intentionally deceptive.

I think that some posters use a name that might be recognized by friends, but minimize the risk of stalker strangers harassing them.


Let's see, what we have here is  breach of duty, potentially perjury, and all that from the "top cop" of the USA.  He is basically a "suspect" in a crime.....when is the last time a white or black guy was allowed to simply "write an essay".....I hope after he pens his story, he is cross examined on it.  The man appears to have committed perjury, and the usual thing for that, for most people, is to be charged as such. Trump, and his gang of bigots, thieves,  billionaires, and family nepotism  have taken over Washington, and they don't have a clue what they are doing..." no one knew health care was so complicated"...oh really?


There is no reason the previous ministry couldn't have 'combatted' a child's death. They failed miserably.

You honestly think releasing Wasserman-Schultz and Podesta's emails swung the election?  Undecided voters were upset she pulled a fast one on Bern?  For crying out loud, he survived the Access Hollywood video, not to mention only spent 54% of what Hilary spent.

This wasn't the prosecutors decision on this one, this was the DOJ.  They didn't prosecute because there wasn't a case.  Freddy Gray died at his own hand, he thought if he was injured he could sue.  Problem was he did too good a job on himself.  Seat belts haven't been utilized in paddy wagons for eons.  Scratch it up as another loss and concocted story for the Black Lives Matters folks, maybe they can embellish the Michael Bennett story so more and live another day.


I'm bullish.


My deepest ALOHA to her ohana.


I guess it doesn’t matter if he resigned or was asked to leave…..
“White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told NBC’s “Today” show that Flynn “knew he’d become a lightning rod” and made the decision to resign.”
“House Speaker Paul Ryan said Trump made the right decision in asking Flynn to step down.”
.
But this does matter……
“White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Mr. Trump was informed 17 days ago by White House Counsel Donald McGahn that his national security adviser had not been truthful when he told Vice President Mike Pence that he had not discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/donald-trump-administration-michael-flynn-resignation.html

“Flynn was part of Trump’s daily briefing Monday and sat in on his calls with foreign leaders…”

Why was Flynn still sitting in on daily briefings and calls with foreign leaders 2 weeks after Trump knew about his lies?


Waiting for those Trump supporters who insisted to me that Mexico would indeed pay for the wall to weigh in.


Clinton and her smug fan club did lots of laughing at unemployed and hurting working class people in the U.S. rust belt states.  ("LOL!!!  .  .  . "old white men, racists, hillbillies,  deplorables, coal miners,  who needs them???  hahahahahaha" ).

Trump hired a brilliant pollster named Kellyanne Conway to run his campaign.  Ms. Conway realized that the these rust belt people, who had voted twice for Obama, did not appreciate having their legitimate concerns dismissed while being mocked. And they voted..

Keep laughing Ms. Renzetti.


Thank you President Trump. Bring on Maxime Bernier and the end of Supply Management.


I can see that. I came of age and went to college in the 80s, and I hated Reagan so much that Clinton was great by comparison! I don't hold Lewinsky against Bill, because I thought it was  nobody's business. He shouldn't have lied; he should have told the investigators to go you-know-where. I do think real estate people are right up there with used car salesmen, and that deal was probably crooked. But I also remember Hillary trying to get universal healthcare, which I really could have used, then and now. And Trump seems like the biggest  liar and flim-flammer of them all. How come your wife didn't vote for Gary Johnson?


A huge industry has grown up that enables their self destructive behavior.
