Düstin "the moron" Darden can't even spell "floride" let alone understand it.


follow the white creme road ( wink wink)

on a serious note, I never heard of a diversion program for theft.


I have offered work to roughly 20 or so homeless people; employing 3 of the 20 or so. 1 stopped showing up after the first day, the second lasted until his first paycheck and the third stole a weed-eater and chainsaw to pawn.

The overwhelming majority just want a handout and will rip you off the first chance they get.


So posting us some quote from a rag like the National Enquier  to make a point that a 14 yr old innocent female tennis player says that  tennis pro Rene Richards has a deep voice and is scary? I read all the bigotry already that came with Richards  sex change decision. I think it was more like a "14 yr old aspiring tennis champ learns her game from the hands of a top rated player".


Oh?

Please define "the magisterium" for us, citing at least one authoritative source.


Oooh, I feel the presence of a press release for a particular interest group...


Robin you nailed it on the head. This was a community win against all odds! But we did it. The lesson here is that when we come together at the table we can steer the island of Lana'i. Large land owners will come and go, but it's the people who call this place home who should have a say.


Unbelievable.


Republicans don't dare pass a (tweak and move on) plan not single one would be reelected

"“a possible human sacrifice to ‘save’ the Neolithic ‘sky God’ (Sun)"

Better tear this monuument down, human sacrifice is frowned upon in our society. We cannot condone this type of behavior in a civilized world, it has to go!

Trump was wrong on the last question.  Men should be punished for improper sexual relations as much as women.

The tragic attack in Dallas is emblematic of, I fear, an escaclating cycle of violence between radical elements of the Black community and the police. Each incident of violence brings more violence. Now, the planned execution of five officers will take this conflict to a whole new level. I fear we’re headed for some very difficult and dangerous times for all of us.

I think, fear is the operative word here. As things escalate, fear increases and trust diminishes, leading to more liklihood of “untended” violence. Then, add planned, intentional attacks on the police as we just saw in Dallas, and, understandably, the level of anger increases among officers. On the “flip side”, each questionable shooting of Black men increases the anger among African Americans. Fear…..distrust…..anger…… a recipe for disaster. Then mix-in our polarized and factionalized politics and beware of a nationwide explosion… IMO, we all need to work together to try to de-escalate things… with hope, Gary Crum


Go to any border town and see what is thought of such a wall. It's a useless and infantile diversion. All that Narco-dust flowing into the U.S. is hardly just from the Mexican Cartels.

The world moves its product into our country because our people are sick for it.

Much of that southern border is a hell of a lot safer and saner than anywhere in the Valley.


All good for now until the Alt President proves that he can not actually accomplish his agenda.


especially a gun that looks like a toy in a mall where kids like to go...


But they specify what the mixed use would be - in this case it's condos, a hotel, and some retail (most likely ground floor) - there is no mention of office space.


"Pretty much nothing."

That is Trump in a nutshell.  Once you get past the bluster and titanic ego, there is no there there.  He is an ego in search of an intellect and soul.  The search is not going well.


Mike Milligan, better check your numbers ! Now that Mi and Az have certified their vote he is ahead in the popular vote by just under 1,000,000   CLINTON 232 TRUMP 306 (+74) THE POPULAR VOTE TOTAL CLINTON 62,277,750 TRUMP 62,972,226 (+695,524)


The world has become overpopulated with billions more than the world environment can sustain yet Republicans continue to believe that Americans have the right and duty to use every last drop until the earth is death the all animal life is gone.


This has absolutely NOTHING to do with NAFTA.


Teachers prepare the young for the future.  A decent teacher is worth his/her weight in gold.  Granted some are not so good just like everywhere else, all people don't shine, but even to choose teaching as a profession tells you something about a person.  Good Luck B.C. Teachers.  Sincerely hope you get the respect you deserve.  Maybe a new government will bring a new atmosphere to B.C. which is sorely needed.


Was the body found, or were the gold and jewels found?

Danger...another Liberal virtue-signaller...proceed with caution.


Thanx, Bill.  It's nice to know SOMEBODY gives a shit about us regular folk...


A 2010 report from the US Surgeon General says even secondhand smoke causes immediate damage to one's organs and poses risk of serious illness or death.
"There is no risk-free level of exposure to tobacco smoke."
I'm very glad to see the Parks and Open Space division take action to eliminate smoking in our parks, following suit of the UO's tobacco free initiative as well as regulations in effect in other local communities, to minimize public exposure to avoidable health risks. We all deserve the opportunity to recreate in areas without exposure to cigarette smoke, and if the public follows this policy it will also remove the threat of fire danger from persons choosing to smoke in the Ridgeline and other natural areas during fire season.


Watch as an admitted sexual predator takes down America's government.


It isn't wilderness. That is the entire point. It's a combination of private, state and federal land that has been utilized and leased for grazing and minerals for decades until environmentalists schemed with the former administration to make it de facto wilderness by executive fiat.


I still can't get mine to open where are they then show me pictures


Wow, talk about ramming an editorial opinion into a headline.

The headline says "TRUMP wants a wall, CANADA embraces immigration".

Hello?

Be fair, already. Either have it as:

"America wants a wall, Canada embraces immigration"

or else have it as

"Trump wants a wall, Trudeau wants massive immigration".


You must forgive Collins, he has a chip on his shoulder:)


There's a difference between right and wrong. Conservatives know what that difference is. Liberals choose the side of wrong most of the time. Conservatives know the KKK is wrong---they are the bad guys.They also know Black Lives Matters are the bad guys because they march and chanted they wanted dead cops dead . They wanted them dead now. Liberals demand tolerance on issues , yet have absolutely none for anyone who dares to disagree with them.  Your head democrat Hillary Clinton  , instead of accepting millions simply disagreed with her position on issues , called them deploribles .Even now you attack anyone who voted for Trump.  Here we have our nation rallying around Texas and you sick people complain about Trump showing he's our nations leader by going to Texas and the shoe's his wife wears there. You always hope and pray Trump does something wrong , instead of hoping he does the right thing . And no matter what he does , you scream it's wrong and you should resist him. That's sick.


Don't worry folks the Broncos will be ready to play and hurt the Raiders at home next week. You can bet the farm hahah.


Well, at least he can see his dad more after he is convicted . . .

Piece of garbage . . .


Mr. Dummer, the fact is that Repubs keep trying declare war on drugs. It is a consistently hollow gesture. You know about hollow; your brain and soul are two good examples.

.....I digress......

Each time these add campaigns come out, guess what? Drug use increases.

"Problem is: That’s a gigantic waste of time and money. Trump's attempt to fight the opioid crisis with a Reaganesque "war on drugs" campaign aimed at children is literally the exact opposite approach to what is needed in the war on opioids. Study after study has shown that PR campaigns like the one Reagan made one of his presidency's trademarks and that Trump seems to be proposing do next to nothing in solving a drug problem, and in fact, make drugs even more desirable."

Wasn't like this yesterday?  Where did the Center find 11,000 native Hawaiians, or did they have another criteria for who would be interviewed as native Hawaiian or Native Hawaiian.  Location of the 11,000 from only similar locations, or from the general population.  This survey is very suspect.  Nearly every N or n Hawaiian has Chinese genes, so does that signify the its the Chinese DNA that's causing the health challenges?  I don't think so.


You are presumably liberal.  You likely believe that anyone who follows your beliefs is good, knows the facts and obeys the law.  Thus since you think the courts follow the facts and the law, you are presumably liberal, and presumably like most humans think your way is the right way, you prove, depending on the validity of the presumptions, that the courts rule according to a liberal agenda rather than a balanced, fact-based, apolitical agenda.

Amazing how this non-story has been dropped from the news cycle...as predicted!


The child tax benefit has gotten way out of hand.  Baby bonuses were introduced decades ago to help feed and clothe kids from poor families.  Now couples making 6 figures are getting hundreds of dollars a month, paid for by people who (in a lot of cases) make a lot less.  This should only be given to people who don't have enough money to properly feed their kids.  My sister has 3 kids and uses the entire child tax benefit to put into RESP's for the kids because she doesn't need the money.  Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for a "child tax benefit" to pay for things like investments.


I have always thought  that in addition to this law some of the local police could spend a few days a month at the local firing  range.  They could give pointers on shooting, laws on defense and meet the people. Think of the dialog and information that would benefit everyone. With this kind of policy we could probably stop more crime and have  less police.

And yet the countries that dominate the lists for high quality of life and advanced human development tend to have smaller populations. Interesting, right?


Making easier to vote does not translate into voting. I doubt that it would make any difference one way or the other. However, seeing how votes are already bought I bet that if you tied who voted to who got a PFD check it would certainly increase voter turn out.

Ultimately, we may not be able to save sharks from being wiped from the face of the earth, but that shouldn't be an excuse to do nothing. Pass the ban. Perhaps one day, an entire species will be more important than a bowl of soup. We can dream.


Having met her, where she spent a good number of hours handing out medals at a nondescript Limpopo schools cross country event, I must agree that she is a very kind, patient and lovely woman. Although one of the kids did call her Sir. My attitude towards her has changed and appreciate her for what she is.


Here is the real news that has happened in the last three weeks: the liberals lowered immigration requirements and an immigration department staffer went public to say that immigration is high due to corporate lobbying and Canadians should be allowed to debate immigration levels. No coverage from the Globe - not quality journalism when the fifth estate isn't covering the largest spending portfolio that is harming regular citizens and new immigrants.

So Globe, when the liberals announce even higher immigration levels on November 1, will you cover it and maybe connect this with labour oversupply, stagnating wages, increased competition that hurts new immigrants and youth the most, staggering household debt and the fact that Canada is not creating the jobs to employ the people here now, never mind millions more as it inspires the abuse the gig economy brings and the ruin of the social system we have built? Will you point out that overpopulation is the biggest environmental threat? pfft

It is important to bear in mind how much fraud  and deception sustains the Chinese economy.

Suggestions are  China is in deep trouble.


read pages 3 and 4, www.jct.gov/x-61-08.pdf

it specifically tells you what they are legally obligated to pay in taxes, both federal and state.


I'm not familiar with it. It does seem strange to put repeat offenders back into the system over and over, instead of maybe addressing the actual problem (mental health, addiction, history of abuse--that's usually what it is :( ).

So let's make absolutely sure we understand this story. The US Education secretary's cancellation of her visit to Ontario schools is welcomed by the teachers' unions.  Why?  Isn't the entire point of teaching and learning to expose students to as wide a selection as possible of ideas from all over the world so that they can better understand matters at home? Granted Ms DeVos's views may be radically different from the unions'  but so what?  Are our own ideas about education so precarious they would collapse if confronted by a proponent of an alternative theory? The logical extension of this union paranoia about cross-pollination of teaching ideas would be that Ontario teachers should be banned from visiting other countries and their schools. Seems to me we elect school board trustees to run the schools and entrust them to invite suitable people to visit with and possibly talk to our students.  Last time I voted, the union wasn't on the ballot.


Only Russia and Israel like Trump ?
I wonder why ?


After we send him to Germany we should ask him to make a side trip to Egypt where the full face covering is now being banned by the el Sisi government.  It is being banned there for the same reasons that Germany and several other countries are now banning it. - the full face covering promotes the separation and ghetto existence of Muslims, in turn this ghetto life promotes radicalization and terrorism and, to the degree that it is forced upon women, the full face covering is another means to marginalize Muslim women and ensure their subjugation to men.  Interestingly, Egypt is about 90% Muslim so even The Boy Blunder may have a hard time labeling the Egyptian president (who is himself a Muslim) as being anti-Muslim.


If the associations of older buildings do not want sprinklers, thats their business, they accept the liability. No way the City should be giving private associations a loan, especially no interest loans. This is their problem. We got enough BS to take care of. Its Private property!


Sierra:  I had much the same experience in Oregon, many years ago.  Except that I was placed simply because my step-father and I hated each other ... and my mother was not financially able to care for me.


IRT Peter (aka Boots), completely disagree with your post.  The primary responsibility of the Federal Government is the common defense of the Nation.  Who is this retired military officer?  This officer must place on the table all the line items that must be cut so we can all evaluate.


All those stupid people.  All those Republican Congresscritters-Nationwide.

All those stupid people.  All those Republican State Legislators.

All those stupid people.  That (barely) Republican Senate.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

The ultra-intelligent can't elect Democrats!

I think it's called Universal Suffrage!  No one is too dumb to vote!


It is actually you on the right who are  so filled with hate.  Your hatred of Hillary crossed the line along with your hatred of the last president who actually balanced the federal budget.  Sad that you phony conservatives are filled so much hate.  When you are not hating the Clintons, you are hating gays for some reason.

I guess the biggest hypocrisy is that many of you profess to be Christians which is a joke.  Jesus was about love not hate.  No way any of you could really be Christian, just phony christian like being phony conservative.  Shape up and start being real Chrisitans and real Conservatives.


Yes, as you stated, "...this all LOOKED like..."  That is YOUR perception based on what you heard. What I'm writing is NOT a perception but FACTS because I one of his supporters and have worked with him. Initially, he had NO intention of becoming a superintendent and that is why he accepted the BOE appointment. He's a smart man. If he did consider becoming a superintendent, he would not have accepted the BOE position knowing that he would have to resign.  He accepted the BOE position because he wanted to do ANYTHING to help the schools. Then after requests from MANY of his supporters, he realized that he could help the schools better as a superintendent by working directly at the school level, with the principals and the teachers.  I really wish that people will not jump to conclusions and judge people without evidence. I have been a teacher for over 20 years, and I teach my students about being respectful, fair and rational.


Pioneers of Alaska, Farbunks Post. Well done, Dermot! (Farbunks is an Old Alaskan nickname for the Great City.)


I LOVE SE Grind!


There are 176 ASSISTANT college football coaches who are paid more then Rolo.  How embarassing!!
The highest paid assistant is John Chavis at Texas A&M at $1,558,000!!  There are 12 assistant coaches who make more than $1,000,000.  If UH wants to be a big dog, they're gonna have to pay like the big dogs.  Otherwise, it will continue to be minor leagues around here.
In 2004, June Jones negotiated a contract of $800,00 per year.  He was the top paid public employee in the state at the time.  We're talking 13 years ago.  What kind of institution goes backwards on the salary scale and expects to attract top notch people?
Former Warrior alum Ken Niumatalolo makes $1.6 million per year at the Naval Academy to take the title as the highest paid federal employee.  Can't even afford to go after former alumni to come coach.


From reading the article, I would say he is trying to work within the system before he does an end around. He did not change positions and say he believes we should send the affected people back to their country of origin.  He has said he still supports them and believes Congress can get something passed in the next 6 months that would put into law a way to deal with this situation.  He has also said that if there is no progress he will resume these maneuvers. Where in the article did you get that he was either giving up or reneging?


You make me relive the moments - few as they were - of bliss, dancing to "In The Mood".  Ahhhh....!


Skip ahead to the 9 minute, 30 second mark of this video and just watch and listen until at least the 15 minute mark.

This was the Liberal Party stand on the NAFTA agreement back then.

Which only proves that Liberals can NEVER be trusted.

How true. The West is on the wrong side of this conflict but refuses to admit it. Bush, Blair and Obama should be ashamed.


The Los Angeles Times ran a long article last year about the large number of people on the rolls who have been dead for decades and are still voting.  CA refuses to comply with commission requests

I have seen other articles about other states saying the same thing. Atricles in liberal papers before this became an issue.

There is no doubt there is fraud. The only issue is how much.

My uncle had terrible Alzheimer's and didn't recognize his family.  He voted.  In CA that is illegal.  His daughter doesn't have his vote. Fraud


Bob, you missed the "but" in Murkowski's statement.  What she really said was that she has always supported the Republican nominee for president, BUT Trump has said some very troubling things.  Hardly a statement of support.  And as for the first Sanders VA bill, it was fundamentally flawed.  When he finally agreed to work with Senator McCain, they came up with a VA bill that passed with Murkowski's support.


This is a tragedy and likely an example of the need for a dialogue on mental health and the laws relating to forced treatment/isolation.

Let's not forget to exploit a tragedy though. It's high time for stricter laws regarding the ownership of knives. We need a national discussion involving the media, politicians, and celebrity experts. Lets examine the following...

Knives must be fitted with lock out devices requiring a key.

Knives should be stored in a safe.

Knife owners must purchase insurance.

Knives may not exceed 1 inch in length because that is sufficient for every task.

Civilians can not own high capacity devices like knife blocks. Who needs that many knives anyway?

Serrated knives look scary and make some people feel unsafe so they are banned, regardless of functionality.

Do you see the parallels? Knives kill and must be controlled...


"Ramirez admitted to having gang ties when questioned by an immigration agent....he served a year in prison in Washington state for felony drug trafficking."

What better way to attain one's "dream". Gang member, drug dealer we need more of these entrepreneurial types who won't take "no" for an answer, deported eight(!) times. He get's an "A" for persistence. How does that go again, "Give me your tired, your poor, your enterprising criminals...". Makes me want to make up a sign and go join the protests.


The same could be said about gun owners as a group.


I wonder how huckster Huckabee Sanders is going to spin this. I mean, do you stand up in front of reporters and knowingly lie about this, or fess up and say Trump is full of malarkey, and we (the White House staff) have no idea what Donnie Two Scoops is talking about.


Sounds like the racist liberal got what was coming to him. Too bad.


You bought beach property in Arizona? I question your judgement... but good luck selling it.


One of the issues that people had with the Clintons was their corruption as well as the fact that it seemed like Hillary Clinton felt she was owed the Presidency.  Add that to the fact that Hillary is a lousy and overly scripted politician who is not as charming as her husband.  Of course, Trump is just dangerous, unfit to be President, and has unleashed ugly racist forces in America but people were oblivious to this.


Welfare is voters who don't like to or can't work.  If they think they can make a better living moving to basic income they will take it, , they don't care what you call as long as it is free and they don't have to lift a finger to improve their social condition, and they will vote liberal.

Basic Income is for voters who are at the very low end of the income scale. If they make it into the scam, they will get a raise, without having to lift a finger to improve their social condition and they will vote liberal


The Safe Third Country Agreement with the US was established for a reason, and that reason was to stop exactly the kind of uncontrolled migration that's happening now. These people are economic migrants, not refugees. If a legal loophole is the problem, then the Liberals should amend the law to include all border crossings, whether legal or irregular, under that agreement. Obviously. They are showing their gross incompetence, by not having done so already.


"Ward", Are you saying there is no hunting or target shooting with a handgun in England?
  OR, are you saying that One cannot/ does not hunt nor target shoot with a handgun, period.?
 Huh?
Also,  you stated:"Handguns are actually the biggest contributor to gun violence."
Probably because they are much more portable, and there are more of them?

The NDP are desperate for a wedge issue to hide their incompetence.  Eggen was the activist who stood on the steps of the legislature saying no more approvals for oil sands projects. Eggen is concerned with photo ops and ideological initiatives. Perhaps the hundreds of thousands of unemployed and underemployed Albertans should be the first concern of this government.


I agree that the Trump rally should happen. But responsibility is part of freedom too. Trump rabble-rouses and incites violence, and people are getting hurt. Some have died. He did it as a candidate and he's still doing it as President. If someone is close to the edge, he pushes them right over it.

Not all Republicans are like that. Those of you who aren't need to school him. He won't listen to people like me. He might be swayed by people like you.


I'm stating that the majority of Crimean's wanted to rejoin Russia after the coup.  I am saying that the majority of refugees that came about as a result of the civil war fled to Russia.  So yes, 1000% it pales in comparison to our utter hypocrisy in the apartheid taking place in Palestine.


Reasonable comments until the last where the writer attributes admiration of Stalin to Putin.  The writer apparently really knew shoe pounding Khrushchev who was definitely an impressive leader.  Given his advanced age and status, it is unlikely that Kalb has ever spoken to Putin.  By making the Stalin-loving comment, I read that he is kissing **** with his liberal friends who see Putin this way.


So Daniel, your grandparents are the one who 'bought' Alaska from the Russians?  What about the Native owners?

You have it backwards.  It isn't the O&G investors who provide money to the PFD.  It's our resource that allows them to make money.


The purpose??? PRIVACY and SAFETY!!! See what I mean, men have no moral compass of this. Alot can be told by a society, ON HOW IT TREATS THEIR WOMEN!!! This society clearly has lost its mind. Clearly you have no children, daughters, grandaughters, neices, little nephews needing help in the bathroom or you would never ask such a question. Women deserve to be safe and have privacy in a restroom. Not feel fear of a social experiment walking through the door to push an agenda through!


RS, it seems idiotic to pay the O&G industry $650 million in tax credits and take $650 million from individual PFD's.  Even from little babies.....


HAHAHA you have a point!


Detect, detain, deport.
No more future dreamers, unless they wait in line like everyone else.


I think this is definitely the case. My wife and I work in tech and we left Vancouver in large part due to real estate prices. We went to Toronto in 2015 and unfortunately couldn't buy right away and prices went nuts there too. My company has an office in Halifax with job openings for similar roles that will pay about the same so it is a consideration. However, my wife is doing really well in her career so there is the risk of walking away plus our family being in Vancouver, Halifax makes it even harder to see them.  Any increases we get in pay moving forward are wiped out multiple times by the increase in housing prices in Toronto. The average house in Toronto went up 300K. That would require an income increase of $40,000 plus an extra $60,000 saved to just keep pace, never mind save and get ahead. To be honest I can't see how anyone not dependent on a job who owns in Vancouver or Toronto would not be cashing out and living on off the riches of their home lottery ticket.


If our society has progressed to the point that the biggest problem we face is which clean, functioning bathroom people have to use when they are out at the fancy restaurant or tying one on at the bar, then our society truly has no problems left.


ok, so first, C. Springs is not a sanctuary city. They are just tired of doing ICE's work for them.
Secondly, it looks like you are ASSUMING that any of these ppl are illegals.
Yet, these perps could easily be legals here.

And the border wall will stop NOTHING. If you want to halt it, then we first solve the jobs-going-to-illegals issues (i.e. e-verify), and then once phased in, allow ICE into ALL localities to clean up, and FINALLY, watch the border for minor crossers. Without the wall, they will not dig, or fly, or use submarines, or go on ships, etc. They will simply try to go through the desert where we can spot them easily via drones at 40-50K' up. And it is CHEAP to do that.


....or congregating in front of an obsolescent image recording device with a vacuous, transparent
arrogant individual claiming to be the country's leader.


I'm totally with the Globe editorial on this one.

Why be politically correct, mob-hate is mob-hate, let's call it out for what it is.

This is not a debate, this is not a conversation, it is an assault on public discourse.

Elitist ignorance. Elitist bullying.

Shame on them.


Listen to smug Lawrence Martin fawning over this left wing savior.  Yawn.

This is why the Globe long ago lost my (and many others) subscriptions.  Trudeau has increased taxes, massively overspent taking the country into huge deficit (the only way out will be further massive tax increases), bungled the voting reform file, introduced a backward carbon tax at a time the US is backing away from theirs, and brought a new wave of corruption back into federal politics with Junior's cash for access scams, and Trudeau "foundation" corruption.

Go write for the star Larry, you're natural habitat as it were.


Dunno. Why don't you ask Latinos how they feel about being referred to as "taco bowls" in DNC emails.


Wow so sorry to hear this she was my son's teacher while we lived in silverdale for military assignments


I appreciate the Mayor's frustration but the Premier made the right decision. It is time that Toronto pays its fair share. It is time for the 905 to finally push back. We need a tax revolt.

Doubling the gas tax allocation to ALL cities is  a much better approach - it avoids the unnecessary cost of administering toll collections; it is fairer to everyone; and it will provide much needed funding to other municipalities to improve their infrastructure.


I think the mom should be charged with neglect.


‘Our question is whether it is wise to pay out a dividend of more than $2,000 per person when our state government is going down the tubes’

Let’s modify that statement Charles.’ Is it wise to pump more than $2,000.00 per person into the local economy’? I think it is, remember we just spent 500 million dollars ‘not’ to build a pipeline and are wasting tens of millions of dollars on ‘Walkers Folly’ now. I could list all the boondoggles like the rail spur to a port no one is ever going to use. Convince me you can spent than money better than me or do as much for the local economy with it and it’s yours. But you are a long way away from that. As for folks who feel so guilty about getting this money just ‘click, pick, give’ it back to the State.


How do you know she did that?


Don't you have a big, big meeting to go to in Australia?


Thank you Mr. Horner for your selfless 'service'  and thank you Marc Lester for your 'touching' article.
There is still plenty of 'good' left in the world, as you have clearly shown.


I live in Algona, I drive by the dump almost every day. I live next to Boeing and a train. You get used to noise, and I have no problem with any of it. If they were to put it next to my very close vicinity I would have *no* problem whatsoever with it. I have family that works in waste management related things, I know about the new facilities and how they operate and no one complains about them. Your argument didn't work, sorry! I'd actually be pretty happy if it were even closer, I could just put some things on a trolley and drag it to the dump!

Again, I do know "so much," and I can guarantee you most of these people do not and the county will get its way, sorry.


Thanks for what?


"Ragging??" I think Bonner is merely pointing out that Trump is not taking responsibility for his actions/decisions, and that that is not a very admirable quality. And to date, I think the facts bear that out. You don't have to do something illegal or sleazy to lack character.
And why do you keep bringing up Clinton? He compares him to Truman, not Clinton. Maybe he feels the same way about Clinton. I know I do. Bill Clinton should have resigned the presidency. Period! It was shameful that he didn't and it hurt the country that he didn't.
It doesn't have to be a Dem vs. Rep., liberal vs. conservative thing. We all need to raise our standards in this country, regardless of party. If someone is being dishonest, manipulative, selling out, etc., they need to be called on it, change their ways or be sent packing. We need to stop looking the other way just because "he's my guy".
"Us against them" thinking is what is poisoning and killing this country. We're being played for suckers.


Your comment grossly oversimplifies the reasons for a sales tax. It is clear to see that your comment is missing several bits as I reference what other folks are replying. Not one mention of the oil companies or other extractors of our natural resources. I guess we'll leave that for another day. Campaign 2018 will bring some discussions. Coffee talk around my table is more than entertaining.


Did you pull that statement off the DNC website?


The article says things improved under the Liberals and then states the Liberals have done nothing.

How did this miracle happen?


First of all, kudos to Trudeau for holding his ground and not giving in to the ridiculous demand that a bunch of government funded lobby groups be granted equal status with the provinces and territories. They boycotted the last meeting because of that, which was a big mistake on their part.


still no cause of fire..........me tinks cover-up..........somebody goin bussaa


I often hear him referred to as the stunt-double for Gerald Butts...... being he's only capable of  rehearsing lines as an unemployable drama teacher


Those officers did not do things on their own & were instructed by their supervisors who got their orders from higher ups. I expect these officers will "sing" since they've already lost careers.


Yeah, but if accusations were evidence, wouldn't we still be burning witches at the stake?


I suspect the more than 144 public consultations and the frequent meetings with provincial counterparts on all fronts was what was considered to be engagement.


Why?  If we did then they would require more public assistance because they already don't make enough money.


Who was it who said that this woman keeps submitting the same article, just changing the dates?


No, the apartment where it was started was a different apartment in which a young woman lived with her cat. She barely escaped and her cat did not escape with her. The man in the shower and his elderly mother were reported to be in an apartment nearby, across the hall.


Yes, it wasn't easy but it's important to stand up to bigotry, abuse, and misogyny. Mc's comments remain as a reminder that he's a low functioning sociopath. Most folks at 72 know better than to insult a parent by including his daughter in a trashy comment about sexual behavior.


Good for you, except that it’s one of the most irritating sounds one has to put up with in the office.


Roman, not metric. Showing my age I guess. 1M = 1,000. 1MM (a thousand thousands) = 1 million.


Re cost of public schools, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually in Los Angeles County alone for education of children of immigrants. Their parents' taxes don't come close to covering those costs, let alone the other costs of EITC, SNAP, Medicaid, etc. FAIR estimates it costs $3.34 billion in Florida, $8.5 billion in Texas, $14.4 billion in California...the list goes on
See http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/09/16/undocumented-la-county-parents-projected-to-receive-650m-in-welfare-benefits/#at_pco=cfd-1.0


who is crying now!  unfortunately, there was zero evidence this country is threatened by the 7 MUSLIM countries Trumpf identified.  discrimination against any group of people is unconstitutional.


way too much when you compare to lower 48.


I did. Professional athletes and entertainers are overpaid.


The College of Veterinary Medicine has received almost $100M in donations the last five years, and just broke ground on a $65M state of the art research facility off Drake funded entirely by private donations.  CSU has invested $250M in a joint venture with National Western and the City of Denver to build the new stock show complex. The College of Engineering received a $53M private donation last year toward scholarships and new facilities. We have a brand new 151,000 sq biology building, which opens next week.  Our $59M Health Center opened in July.  Trust me. There is a lot of investment in the campus beyond the stadium.


Right on, Monica!


IRT B&B's "Rules and laws don’t work. There are not enough people to enforce them. " This is a governmental problem that will cost incumbents their jobs.  It is not about "not enough people" to enforce  ... it is about the will [which in this case may be defined in many ways] to enforce.  I wonder a lot about the undeclared revenue and the missing tax dollars associated with underground enterprise.


The Oregon Legislature has been voting for 'unfunded mandates' for decades; why should they whine just because Bush and Obama want Oregon to meet the requirements that the other States do?


And what exactly should Obama have done, or Trump do now?  Bombing them is really not an option, not with something like 20,000 artillery pieces in range of Seoul.


I am still worried that the inherited wealth of the entitled Trudeau, Morneau and McCains of the world  may actually get captured by the upcoming changes.

This is entitled money they inherited and should not be taxed like those of us who work hard and deserved to be taxed to the hilt.


Thank you for sharing that as it is a message of hope.  May I ask Whst made you start? Maybe dumb question but I truly am curious.


Good report.  I was there, too, and your recap was spot on.  Ummm...spellcheck?


Just on this one?


You mean like this one that once again demonstrates that IPCC climate models are wrong?

http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ngeo3031.html

If you cannot make accurate predictions then whatever it is you want to call it, it cannot be construed as "science."


How about boxing matches between Trudeau and Trump?

Trump could provide the hyperbole for advertising while Trudeau practices at the gym.


Why is it that it was OK for Carter and barry obama to place immigration bans in place, but not Trump..? Sounds like a classic case of "It's OK if we do it, but not you".


I think most people discussing repealing or changing the 2nd amendment understood that a new amendment would take its place, describing the new restrictions on the government regarding private gun ownership, and that these new restrictions would change what is possible for private citizens.

Stephen correctly describes the relationship between individual rights and the government and how this relationship is delimited. But he doesn't acknowledge that the degree to which the government is allowed to infringe on our inalienable rights varies from amendment to amendment and has been modified over time by new amendments.


York, what a load of hooie.
They kept the Gifford crap going because they were trying to make Sarah Palin look bad.   They let the democrat shooter go because it make their side look bad.    They delight in the anti-Trump stuff and the only reason they are faking alarm, and clutching their pearls is because they - wrongly- think they can make our beloved President Trump look bad,

But you know all that and just chose to blow smoke us, the people who regularly read you.  Talk about loyalty, are you there with CNN and think we are all stupid and won't notice your betrayal?


They stand no chance of stopping this unless Zalenka steps in. The City has repeatedly shown total disregard for neighborhood opposition on these developments.


Will DNR Commissioner Andy Mack help Alaskans and smaller oil and gas companies or will he do what the rest have done and run them out of business for the favored big three, opps now there are four?

Besides these big four oil companies, please name any producers that has made a profit from finding and selling oil in Alaska!

Four oil companies in Alaska control about 97% of the oil markets and none are Alaskan owned, why?

When an Alaskan owned oil company finally finds and sells oil for a profit then you will know Alaska is not rigged anymore!

It is time to fix the broken monopoly system so Alaskans can prosper!


$1 Trillion In Costs Will Be Shifted To Patients Under Senate Healthcare Bill

And Murkowski biggest concern is she wants to go home so she can go fishing.

Sullivan?

He wants to stay right there to vote for the billionaire tax cut and get on with supporting the rest of Trump's treasonous scam.

Young ?

He already voted for the tax cut that is paid for by stealing health care from millions.


Apparently, there is something wrong with being able "to compare districts and teachers,"

Perhaps we might discover that all students and teachers are not "above average" after all.  And that there might be a correlation between the success or failure of students and "districts" and "teachers".

What a scary concept!  If that happened, someone might think that something should be done about it!  By Someone.  Somewhere.  Somehow.


I don't entirely disagree, but I think the issues they did address should have been handled much better. They have made too many mistakes getting there and deserve the boot, especially with the other mistakes they have made. It is past the time for change, especially with Wynne at the helm--she has been bad for Ontario.


Well,  More skillled workers such as the much touted AI experts  will move south.  Much higher salary, much lower tax. Much better opportunities.


lock her up is not hate loser, its politics, free speech, but as usual the left hate free speech


The real concern about Gorsuch is his repeated record of siding with big business.  He is very young.  He may end up being on the court for 40 - 50 years.  Surely during that time the court will hear cases on Climate Change.  Is he going to side with the oil companies and the coal companies, slavishly?


I think the Rox should try to re-sign Holland for 1 year, but Holland will probably go to a team with deeper pockets that offers a multi-year deal.


Wrong. The Liberals absolutely had a choice with respect to how to manage the Khadr file. They CHOSE to settle for an obscene sum of money and utterly inappropriate grovel (aka apology). The choice was simple: Leave it to the independent judiciary to determine what, if any, quantum of damages was appropriate to award Mr. Khadr for his grievances. Plus legal costs. Liberal claim that they had, thus far, incurred $5-m in costs is absurd. As a downtown lawyer, I know of what I speak. Furthermore, the principles at stake here were simply too important to be decided by political interests. This is EXACTLY the moment when we rely on our independent judiciary. It is quite possible that a court would have assessed Mr. Khadr's damages at 0. He was repatriated and given a new lease on life. He has expressed NO remorse and relied upon his child soldier defence. Canadians aren't buying it. PM Trudeau most definitely had a choice. Not sure where your bold and incorrect assertion comes from.


My spouse (born out of state) has lived in AK 40 years and thinks the PFD should've been designated for AK BORN residents only. We have 4 kids (now adults); our PFD's helped with daycare expenses (no daycare assistance because of our 2 incomes at the time), vehicle expenses, food, etc.  We didn't spend our checks on expensive big screen TVs, electronic devices/toys and the likes.  Our family vacations were "camping" in state. Stop having kids if you can't afford them, use BIRTH CONTROL or get FIXED, so the SOA/taxpayers aren't footing the bill for YOUR family! Every Oct. (payout time), kids are neglected while parents go "party up" on alcohol/drugs/hotels,with the extra $$. Are these adults ever going to "grow up" and start thinking like adults?! My dad always said, "too many people live beyond their income and don't save for emergencies or their future."  Wise man, I tell ya! One day the PFD may be gone!!!! In the meantime, how wisely do you spend YOURS?!


Torontonians who use public transit effectively free up road space for non-Torontonians. In any case, why should I pay for roads via my property taxes that I seldom use (since I do not own a car and instead use the TTC, mainly the subway) and which are largely used by people who do NOT pay property taxes in Toronto? People using the roads also contribute to air pollution that affects the health of us all.


This from the Civil Comments cop?

I've spent the last 4 years working in 3-4 days in NYC every month!


Were she not complicit in her own fate, one might almost feel sorry for Melania.
She is literally all dressed up with nowhere to go, probably not the future she envisioned.
Her choices now seem to be returning to Trump Tower and roosting like Repunzel at the top or being the queen of the Walmart Versailles in foetid Florida.

Yeah, I almost feel sorry for her.


Keep the conspiracy alive, Roy. In 2018 when the Democrats lose what little power they have left, the Republicans won't need them to fix America.


On Lynn Gatis-- no, it isn't that she didn't get out enough with the people. She is neither liked nor disliked in the Valley and her being busy with special sessions was not a problem. What sank her run was that downright SCARY ad that she had of her holding a knife in front of a cow. Didn't anyone in her campaign tell her that that was a bad idea?

As much as I could tell that she was having fun, that was a terrible ad so close to the end of the election. She looked like an tipsy cooking show host with bad puns when she should have been trying to warm people's hearts and have us see her as a professional businesswoman and lawmaker. I couldn't figure out her demographic in that photo, and then as if that showing up in our mailboxes wasn't enough, it came up on FaceBook MULTIPLE times. This is not the image that you want voters to carry around in their minds when they go to the polls.


The claim that Lane had slaves here in Oregon is specious at best.  The so-called slave in question was a mixed race African and Native American orphaned child, that Lane raised from age 2 to 17.     By all accounts, the child would have died if Lane had not shown pity, and taken the unwanted toddler in.

While Lane was born in North Carolina, he left home at age 14, and by age 19, lived in Indiana, which was a free state.   There is no record of Lane ever owning any slaves in any of those states.   He lived in Indiana for 29 years, before coming to Oregon.


Do you have any idea how much time is wasted in school these days? I recall my kids, who are now in High School, talking about the movies they watched in elementary/middle school while teacher's marked projects/exams. Instead of watching videos, how about bringing in a computer coder to teach kids how?


Are you advocating violence against the poor and homeless?


Actually, he's in a statistical tie with "Not Sure".


Um, Trudeau continues to poll ABOVE his election numbers right now (this week)  And his approval rating is still over 50%.  Again, this week.

So obviously his policies do have majority support.


(Cont)
Militia:
a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency.
* a military force that engages in rebel or terrorist activities, typically in opposition to a regular army.
* all able-bodied civilians eligible by law for military service.

A common meme coming from the Left is that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to own muskets.  This is, in light of the founding fathers’ own statements on the matter, patently absurd, for how can citizens, armed only with muskets, defend themselves from government troops using fully-automatic machine guns, M-16s, APCs, M1 Abrams tanks, missiles, bombers and fighter jets?
Even armed with semi-automatic weapons it would be difficult for citizens to overcome such a force to secure their own freedoms.  The only advantage the citizens would posses is an overwhelming superiority in numbers, which Maddison points out.


Yes. Good. Let's be done with this now, shall we?

Earth to Lucy: Unanimity is not always possible. Let's stop reaching for the stars before we get to the moon, 'kay?


Go to Hacienda.  Best in town.


US is 8.9 times the population of Canada. Not 10 times.  Also remember the months when US gained jobs and canada lost.  Take the jobs created from 2010 between these two and nations and honestly reply back. Again, US population is  324 million. Canada is approx 37 million. US is not 10 times but 8.9 times the population.  Any Math taught in school.


Let's compare The Donald's results in Puerto Rico with the recovery in Cuba.

Both Cuba and Puerto Rico were hammered by the Iram-Maria hurricane one-two punch.
.
But Cuba picked itself up, and is back running again, and nobody in the international news services is saying anything more about hurricane damage in Cuba.
.
Meanwhile, in Puerto Rico, the richest country in the world is letting its citizens die.
.
Yesterday the White House discovered that Puerto Rico "Is an island.  Surrounded by water.  Big Water. The Ocean."
.
We are told the response is "Incredible".
.
Well, that's one word for it.
.
.
.
Puerto Rico is full of people who are poor, Hispanic and non-white.
.
If Puerto Rico were full of old white Republican men, would the mayor of San Juan be begging for help?
.
Maybe she should have asked Havana for help, not Washington.


AK deserves a refund. AK legislators have been getting paid on an 'A' scale while their job performance has hovered between a 'D' & 'F'. Don't know what you're smoking but check your numbers again. According to Ballotpedia and other reputable sources, only 7 states pay a higher salary to their legislators and NO STATE has a per diem higher than AK.


Sorry Paul. When we choose to ignore; not pay attention or questions things that just are not right such as blatant lies, we the people lose.


Good Grief..    Don't they have something better to do than punish the nurses?????   Leave them alone.


Good move.


Wow talk about Brown reaching her Peter principle plateau so quickly.
"You're doing a heckeva job Brownie"


Yes.  And, not for the first time, will reverse my thought on this.  With unit costs coming down due to larger production lots, and many development problems overcome -- not nearly all -- I think throwing down on the F-35 is likely the least worst option.  And not just 65, let's think bigger, like 88.


I saw "Video Games Live" at GENCON in Indianapolis, Indiana way back in 2010.  It did indeed have a rock concert feel to it.
Wondering if anyone saw the concert series "Play!" about the same time.  Wonder how they compare.


This was a total sandbag job by the liberal media.

HHS 2016 Budget is about 1.1 Trillion Dollars. That makes it 1000 times the size of GE. All senior execs at GE have access to private jets for travel because time is the most valuable executive commodity.

HHS should have its own fleet of aircraft ..... period.


Yes, there were legitimate reasons for modifying the habits that some religious orders wore. For instance, the head pieces that the Adrian and Sinsinawa Dominicans wore must have been close to wearing the crown of thorns that Jesus wore -- it truly cut into their foreheads. I don't know how they could stand it without getting a migraine headache!  Nevertheless, I think the Sisters should have modified their former impractical and uncomfortable former habits into something suitable for the modern era -- for instance, all Dominicans (both male and female) could have switched to black & white clothing only (their trAditional colors). They also could have a elaborate / formal habit for important religious occasions  (like welcoming new members into their order or celebrating major anniversaries). Whatever- - point being, habits still have a role to play in strengthening "corps" identity.


Definitely, waiting for the truth is waste of timeand they are never going to uncover the reality reports.


Shouldn't the title read "Muslim extremist wrecks havoc on innocent students"?


We need to diversify our states income so going after oil companies is not the only answer.  Hopefully oil will be gradually phased out in response to our warming planet. And Alaskan Republicans will sit there in shock and go, crap what are we going to do?  Oil is $10 a barrel and our state is melting.  Alaskans please vote in legislators with foresight - instead of these short-sighted idiots who continue to drag our economy down.


Actually, I have a couple of problems with Fr Martin's book. He assumes that the hierarchy wants to have a respectful dialogue with the LGBT community. With a few exceptions, there seems little desire on the part of the bishops for such a dialogue. Much of the gay community has said, "the hell with the Catholic Church, which has amply shown that they have not the slightest interest in accepting us" and left.


ADN has all but silenced anything that isn't leftwing propaganda. That was the goal all along, and they wonder why their subscriber rate in is the tank.


I have heard that some people think that way.  Trump does--he said he could murder a person and you would vote for him.  Guess he was finally right on something!


This sounds like those throwing the party wanted some of the Trudeau pie.


This state, and country for that matter, are facing some huge problems but the availability of weed to the pot heads is issue #1???????


I agree, and while youre at it, why dont you ask all blacks, browns, etc. to leave, not just BLM.  That will surely solve the non-existent problems of racism and police brutality, complaints about carding, etc. wouldnt it?  I mean all our problems would be solved if they would all just 'go back to where they came from' (given their presence in this country since the 1600s, not sure how we'd do this but am sure you could figure it out).   Sadly your comments suggest not your privilege but reflects your utter ignorance of the experience of racialised people in this country.  SMDH.


What hole is that?


And what price-tag do you put on the patriotism these people have placed on our country with this selfish protest to destroy our flag and country?
An investment well spent to show the mistakes made by the NFL players and owners in their self-interests.


No one knew of homosexuality? ! Were you raised in a bubble?


There is no justice here for victims.  Ashamed at our judicial system, our judge, and our state.  Absolutely pitiful.


Not to mention climbing the mountain is not free. A permit to do so is not inexpensive so NPS does have some incoming revenue to support the needed rangers.


Now that Toronto is a secure city with no need to prove legal status in Canada,I wonder how many Americans will pile in for Free Health Care??


It is high time for Mr Justin Trudeau to announce Canada's NEW RIGHTFUL consecrated & coronated QUEEN since July 1 st 2016 That Mr Justin Trudeau's office &Government chose's  to continuously support financially the criminally charged Elizabeth Windsor for crimes against humanity...Mr Justin trudeauhas been  aware with document's stating this fact , The only rightful Queen of England Canada
 &The commonwealth .The great grand daughter of Queen Guinivere (La)Marche Pendragon & king Arthur Pendragon Holy grail Holy Blue Blood born in Canada Should have my portrait on those walls!!Any further delays on this matter of announcing to the world public could result in a very ugly LAWSUIT of discrimination and neglect of recognition on of the behalf of Canada to the legal heritage & rightful Queen Tina Ann Guinivere IV (La)Marche Pendragon

BBC this is a warning  by HRM Queen  Guinivere IV Pendragon  Marche to go get the real story  info from PM Justin Trudeau


Most of the hillside is fine and just needs to use their LRSA money to clean existing ditches. There are a few problem spots like Rabbit Creek and Potter Marsh where they built in a drainage area near a creek or built too dense with too much concrete to allow drainage. Those areas can increase their districts mill rate and fix their problem. Why punish everyone.


You are a fool and an imbecile. And so are anyone else who choose to support someone as totally corrupt as Hillary the serial killer and her rapist pedophile husband. Trump is the best choice and we are all wholly expecting him to blow up the establishment parasites who have been feeding office with the complicity of the Democratic Party for almost 100 years


We will defeat the running dogs of capitalist imperialism. All power to the people! Creating a worker's paradise!  It's Bush's fault anyway!


No he is not.


Writers are the last people who should ever keep their opinions to themselves.  I admire you for standing up for what you believe in.  That is what is called Ethics.  And too many people don't seem to have them these days.


"some with many different user names", you mean like Welland Public Library, Niagara Resident and of course Margo Lane?


For the first time since Oregon's Ambush at the Alamo, I really felt the Ducks all played hard on both sides of the ball last night.  Then the injuries started piling up.  Austin Meek is spot on in wondering if any of the next five opponents can be beaten without Herbert.  I don' t think Oregon can beat any of them with Herbert.  Without him?  No chance.


Yes, government funding wasn't pulled by the government.

Genius.


"Do you really believe we (in the US) are going to enter an era of racial fascism because of Donald Trump?" -- AlwaysThere

Yes -- Donald Trump + national Republican elected officials + Breitbart, Fox News and Facebook + close to half the voters who have demonstrated their hate and/or stupidity. Fertile ground for an unmoored demagogue and scorched-earth politicians.

-- Paul


Why do you keep returning here, again and again, reading pseudo-intellectual clap-trap after pseudo-intellectual clap-trap?

That says a lot more about you than it does about the authors of "pseudo-intellectual clap-trap".


Hilary is corrupt with all sorts of baggage that used her position as secretary of state to fund the Clinton foundation. Her prime motive to be president was because it was her turn.


If Trump nuked Toronto would you say, "he has the power to do so" and leave it at that?


Don Cherry is still alive??


LOL.  I do believe that he is more reliable then both the previous president and the Dem candidate.   For them, if the truth ever came out of them, they and everyone around them would drop dead of shock.  As far as knowledge of government processes, how about the spy-in-chief that encouraged the law to be broken with every illegal work permit he issued to illegals?  Though he did make it easier to round up the crooks.


The city is not providing a place for homeless people to live. That's the problem. The legal "rest stop" camps are well managed and don't have a trash problem, but the city is not providing sites for more of them, or the small amount of money needed to run them. Mainly due to wrong-headed neighborhood opposition. You can have controlled legal sites or messy ones with no control. Take your pick. What you can't do is wave a magic wand and make homeless people disappear.


Sad to hear that FCA does not keep their ships maintained. With all of our prime Alaskan seafood going to Japan...well you know money is being made somewhere. I am very sorry to hear about this ship going down and am very happy that everyone was rescued. I used to sell all of these boats seafood to eat on board their vessels and they definitely catered to Japanese crew members and I will say that they ate very well.


The Trumps--lies, cover ups, collusion, corruption, you name it. They're all of this and much more. How long before it ends?


Sessions was forced to recuse him from federal Russia investigations after The Washington Post reported that the former Alabama senator had met twice with the Russian ambassador, even though he testified during his confirmation hearing in January that he “did not have communications with the Russians.” Later, it was revealed that there was a third undisclosed meeting.

On Jan. 17, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Sessions in a letter: “Several of the President-Elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after Election Day?”

Sessions replied, “No.” This answer has been proven to be false.

18 U.S. Code 1001 applies to the Leahy letter even if Sessions’s responses to the senator weren’t sworn. This statute prohibits falsifying or hiding information or providing materially false or fraudulent information to the government — even if not under oath.


Yes sometime between 2050 and infinity.


The MLS numbers are very low. The playoff game between Montreal and Toronto got a fair audience but the usual games are nowhere not anywhere close to CFL audience numbers.


"Border guards protect us from all kinds of criminal behaviour."
They do? The conversation I had on my last crossing into Canada, verbatim:
Border agent: "Where are you going"?
I replied with one word
Border agent: "How long are you staying"?
I replied with two words
Border agent: "Have a nice day".
The whole conversation took 20 seconds.
I'm sure you feel much safer. I know I sure would if I were you.


Revising the law to state that vehicles have right of way will save lives.  Right now, pedestrians step in front of oncoming traffic expecting cars to stop for them.  Also, I thought there was a law concerning passing in an intersection.  Many accidents and injuries caused by people passing anything not going fast enough for their liking or stopped.  It is not only a Waianae thing.  People on the North Shore and East side are really bad about this.  I would like to see  barricades separating the lanes of traffic instead of solid lines at every intersection.  Seems that people do not understand that solid lines mean stay in the lane.


This article is completely insane!

- Cars are needed!  To go shopping, buying lots of groceries, driving my older relatives to appointments, driving kids to sport practices or school, visiting friends in other cities or vacations. The list goes on and on. The car is a necessity, the "War on the Car" is a joke!

- GTA needs more roads, when was the last time that we built anything (apart of more condos)? Visit a city like Miami, its non-stop construction and renovation of their highways.

-  There are 100,000+ new residents entering the GTA each year. Yeah, lets put them all on bikes and TTC.

- There is something called winter in Canada. It snows, its cold, roads are slippery. Yeah, lets build more bike lanes!

Fighting cars is not the solution since cars are the solution for most!


16 hits of acid 30 years made you kill 3 Hispanics? Come onnnnnn........


I do not agree with your view.

You state that "the establishment believes they, and only they, represent the true will of the people."

Nope. Not true.

Whether it is small scale establishment (the editors at the university student newspaper, the PhD president of the campus Marxist club), medium scale establishment (the editors of the CBC and the Star, the columnists who are card-carrying members of the Council of Canadians), or large scale establishment (Justin Trudeau and his Cabinet)...

... VERY FEW of the those people believe they represent the will of the people.

To the contrary, most of them are of a social engineering mindset, and see it as their duty to re-engineer and re-cast society away from what they see as its popular but barbaric attributes, to get it in line with an order that suits their tastes - and that, they know, will take some work to get swallowed by the lay masses beneath their plane of higher existence.

They represent only the will of their own orthodoxy.


To make sense of this, one needs to go back, way back to antiquity to see how Muhammad used insurgency to his advantage. Present day Jihadists get inspiration from the prophet’s use of terror techniques to bring about a rapid expansion of Islam through many parts of the world. If they were successful back then, why shouldn’t present-day Jihadists be just as successful employing the same strategies today, the rationale would go.


How come those folks bad mouthing RBG didn't say anything when Scalia went hunting with Cheney but didn't recuse himself when Haliburton cases were considered? Or gripes about Thomas ruling on Koch brothers related cases when a significant part of his family income come from Koch-backed entities?


How so?


Did you vote Republican in the last state election? Did you vote for Trump or refrain from voting for one of the two major contenders in the last election?
 If you did any of the above, you have only yourself to blame.


Why does one need a BMW when one can get a Chevy that pretty much does the same?  Why do one need designer jeans when Costco jeans will do as much?  Why does one need to eat at expensive restaurants when there are plenty of cheap ones  around that serve great food, etc.  Because there's a segment of the population that values and appreciates the incremental features of the more expensive phone..that's why.


I would agree with you that a portion of the Rs are also out of touch. In other words, too many of our politicians are in the game for the wrong reasons, imo.


What outrage, are people upset on your planet Tabatha?


alternative facts  Kent style


JM:  “The PFD fix is a part.” Euphemisms are the refuge of moral cowardice.
The pilfering Governor unilaterally took $1k from every Alaskan.  Most ordinary Alaska do not see taking over $1k from them as “part of a fix”.  Most ordinary Alaskans want their full PFD.  Instead the Pilfering Governor took over $1k from every Alaskan yet and used state $ to give sweetheart contracts, over $1m, to his friends. Sad.


Yep employers fire people all the time "for no reason whatsoever." Saw it on that TV show where the boss was always saying YER FIRED.
.
Kinda surprised that you had to go back 20 some years to cite some chief who wouldn't promote somebody for just showing up as an example of evil bosses.
.
Ain't ya got something more recent?  Once in twenty years is hardly worth getting all mad about. Seems like a minor twerk.


Part of the far-right cyber militia posts on this web site promoting division and ignorance.


"Deeply harmed by the inquiry's misguided process". The unmitigated gall. Sad sad sad,but the indig losing credibility, sympathy,and a willingness of Canadians to keep throwing $$$$ into their bottomless pit.


It's the same river KEZI wrote about last month. Several rivers by that name in French-speaking countries, I don't know which ones are worth rafting.

Good Question!  At the former Motel 6 in Greeley (Evans) the nightly guests were in the East side, and the "resident" guests were in the West wing.  Even I, lowly oil field trash, could discern that NOBODY to the right of the office spoke any English.  I didn't care, because everybody needs to live somewhere, but hell, It wouldn't stand scrutiny from any government agency who might have cared.  From the motels standpoint:  Occupancy = income.  Employees reporting people who are customers...BAD!!  Smack down those evil minimum wage prolls! (slang in communist countries for "proletariat", which was supposed to be us, rather than "bourgeois", which was rich evil leader society of the West...them).


Actually I was referring to "Strong and wrong", meaning your notion the US should accept less than the best trade deal we can get for some social reason.  The US needs to play to win and get every penny we can, our trade partners have been playing that way for decades and we need to step it up.  As far as pay in this country, it's based on supply and demand just like the last two hundred years, the only people disagreeing are the unskilled people who get paid what they are worth (not much).


Will that be enough @Chris in Ottawa to offset our relatively low wages, and of course our high and rising housing costs in two of our major urban areas?

There are plenty of businesses in Vancouver (including the tech sector) who are worried because they are having a hard time attracting and retaining the best and brightest because of housing affordability issues.

Perhaps the one big thing the Feds can do to help us compete in attracting skilled immigration, is to stop having working families - including our new PR status immigrants and refugees - compete with the offshore money of non residents and non citizens for housing.

It's Vancouver that sits atop that list of unaffordability in North America (will Toronto be close behind?), and unlike the USA we don't have a myriad of other large affordable urban areas with the jobs/desirability to attract immigration.


You must know, take some aspirin and maybe you'll feel better, cupcake.
Are you pissed because they 86ed you from there? Go say you are sorry and they will make you a heavy duty drink, on the oxy too? Doesn't surprise me!

Get anyone to call me up yet, waiting for the "love"! maybe grow some and do it yourself, little one.


Then let their employers deal with it - and most have by releasing statements that they support the players in whatever they're doing.  If you're a fan and don't like it, stop watching - and forego the 'goodbye cruel world' drama speech - no one cares if you don't watch any more.


you seem to be overlooking the fact that 1) obama would have still received a $500K benefit in the form of a tax-write off to charity and 2) obama received many other gifts from foreign governments. nice try, tho. cited http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/15/AR2009101502277.html


Several years ago, a community-based patch-for-patch exchange protocol was created in North Bay, Ontario. Completely voluntary. Part of launching the protocol was information & education for physicians & pharmacists in the community. Almost all signed on. Fentanyl-related deaths stopped. The protocol was adapted & adopted by many other Ontario communities, & is now law in the province (sadly, the regulations implementing the law are toothless--nevertheless, the volunteer initiatives continue).

My point is this: education & information for prescribers and dispensers stopped patch-related deaths cold. What does that say about the level of education and information that existed previously, especially in prescribers?

We  have known for decades that physicians receive essentially no education, initially or thereafter, in appropriate prescribing of mind- & mood-altering substances.

Until this root cause is addressed, & such training is mandatory, there will be little substantive change


Outlaw abortion is an easy sentence.  Who goes to jail and how does that stack up to equal protection.  How would you justify punishing people who order the murder of adult with not punishing women who do so?  Would you extend the investigative power of the police to all fetal deaths, including miscarriages?  What about tort relief?  If presumably you did this the constitutional way and had Congress move personhood to gastrulation (too much evidence shows it is not before that point) under its 14th Amendment power, every fetal death could involve a lawsuit. How would you deal with malpractice carriers not allowing their clients to see women until the second trimester?  These are the real questions which come up.  It won't be like before 73, where in most cases the penalty for abortion was a fine on the doctor, the same penalty as shooting your neighbor's dog.  Luckily, even with control of Congress, you don't have the votes, but you should at least introduce the bill.  Waiting for that


At this point, they have failed completely at their job. they should be removed from office now, and not wait for re election.


Pffft.  Joanie-come-lately pikers.  My grandchildrens' grandchildren's great granchildren are already paid up and registered for infant daycare through post-doctoral studies.  It was easy.  You just have to find the right "booking agent".


When Molefe retruned to work (very briefly) at Eskom, he was greeted with loud cheers and applause by many workers.Not sure how many of them would fit into your "rich stream" caetgory, though.


Unfortunately, Europe serves as a constant reminder of why we are still a ways off from having the infrastructure to accommodate radical merging of cultures. One only needs to Google "Van/Car/Bus/Knife/RAPE/Machete/Bomb/Suicide attack in Germany/France/Britain/etc." to see the results of forced "open society."
Personally, I am not religious. But I do not imagine that it is in any way "preferable" to current (not perfect, but livable) status quo, to import millions of people, 42% of whom practice and preach Shariah law (shaming and banning of women, women better cover up or else) who were on Obama's "worst terrorist nations" list, when we are at the brink of solving world hunger via AI and manufacturing tech developed by us and our allies, we can feed the entire world before sacrificing "the few" for "the many"


The Water Protectors are sacrificing so much.  I praise them for their courage/strength and visions of protecting what is critical for human existence.

O makes me ill over his silence.  I saw the country music lover owner who owns this drilling company.  He was being interviewed and asked what he thought would happen after T takes office: He actually squealed w/delight.  Stated it was 100% guaranteed to happen and he couldn't be happier.  I hope this guy, all his employees, the cops, and any other deniers who worship money over water be thirsty for the rest of their miserable lives.

Just how stupid is Trump?


Lack of education. Teach our kids it starts there. Don't take money from our schools, instead create jobs by taking cannabis tax money to teach the kids spend it in schools not prisons. Pay exaddicts to speak about the dangers of addiction. Give them jobs while they give back.


Good to see Sakic sticking with the plan and not wrecking the salary structure with over paid UFAs.  We finally have a real NHL GM who knows what he is doing and will build a team that will be continuously strong.


Basic question for Trudeau....who does an Islamic spiritual leader become a billionaire....??

Why doesn't he use his own money instead of hard-working Canadian taxpayers who aren't billionaires...

Two basic questions.


Mr Morgan has flooded the AG's office with more than 170 complaints the past few months. Mr Morgan stated earlier that only 17 were found to have merit. Sad!


It shows that you missed the point. Now you missed it a second time. Choosing to not be associated with a publisher with a history of publishing hateful lies is good judgement, not censorship.


Ohhhh man does Lisa look uncomfortable sitting next to The Donald. Talk about awkward. Wonder why since both inherited their money and positions through no effort of their own.
She won't have the guts to buck the party even though tens of thousands of Alaskans may get tossed off the insurance rolls. Neither does she like being used as a prop by the White House. Alaskans should call her office and tell her to vote no on any bill that worsens the Alaskan individual market.


Again, beautiful!  But for married life/family living TODAY---the practical HOW-TO-DO THIS today is needed.  Therese was a child of her day---late 19th very early 20th century.  We are not living in that time any more.


Worked for Jeffy.


An obvious sign that Americans have too much time to get into trouble.  After all, it's Mothers' Day here in the USA.  This really shows how flaky we are becoming as a society and culture.  Like they say, democracies only lasts 200 to 300 years and then collapse internally.  Is this a sign???


So I don't understand.  McDonalds is constant held up as a pariah. Blamed for the obesity problem we have and for poison our kids.  Apparently their food is "awful".  Now apparently they are destroying the lives of people as they had added the nuts back in.  They just can't win.


No new law should have any negative impact on any law-abiding gun owner. We didn't do anything wrong, therefore we're not going to stand for any infringements on our rights and freedoms just so you folks can pretend you "did something."


I used to tell my children, "Just because Johnny gets to stay up late, doesn't mean you should".

Or, "If everyone jumped off the Empire State Building, would you?"


You seem to not understand the cycle of life or the food chain, which we're all part of.

Begrudging an animal for consuming meat is an extremely immature response to death. Native Americans and other cultures place their dead on structures that allow for this process. The process of embalming and then placing  corpses in hermetically-sealed boxes to preserve them indefinitely is a manifestation of the ego of "civilized" people that separates us from the world we live and die in, as well as a subconscious attempt to hang on to what we should let go of.

Leave me in a field to be torn apart by critters, or wrapped in a shroud in a shallow, unmarked grave to be consumed by worms. I won't care, having moved on. The idea that you can keep from returning to the earth is insane.


I am so glad that someone finally published this story!  Congratulations Robert & Steven for excellent investigative journalism.  As a tax expert, I've been waiting  months for an article that addressed Morneau's hypocrisy when  he said he will have to pay more taxes when the government's plan to change the taxation of private corporations is fully implemented.  What he failed to mention at the time was that he would reap the benefits at the top line, even though he might pay more tax!  How is this not a conflict of interest?  And as a sophisticated business person, I don't believe for a second that he didn't know exactly what he was doing when he chose this tax plan.  Finally some great investigative journalism!


Eric:  My mistake......I overlooked that the 24th was Thanksgiving....let's try doing it at a later date.   regards, Gary


In the 60's, a reporter asked bank robber Willy Sutton--who had held up something like 200 banks--why he did it, why he robbed banks. His reply is classic:  "Because they have all the money".


That's awesome.


She hasn't even been elected yet but the meat heads are already threatening to leave the SCOTUS short a justice and now impeachment? That's fascist talk and how dictatorships operate. Why don't they just say they'll stage a coup d'état if she wins?

A rifle semi-automatic or otherwise not does not walk around indiscriminately killing people, however the ideas in the human mind carrying the rifle. Ahhhh they are evil and kill many innocents through the acts committed by the ignorant propaganda filled citizen. Why don't we start working on limiting the rights to some of these ideas that are killing so many.
P.S.  If you can't see a difference in race relations in the last seven years you are either ignorant or just plain blinded by partisanship. Barry owns this big mess, it his big community organizing project.

Fresh faces and fresh air could help a lot of bureaucracies – federal, state, local, and - let's not forget –private sector!
 I'm not ready to get into the halo placing business  yet is the best way to fix federal government problems – but I'm open to them exploring for sure!
 Let's not forget the many corporate failures we've seen over the past 20 and 30 years, and some of the upstarts that have changed the game – and other upstarts who have disappeared into the five years -  taking their shareholders and owners down with them!
Innovacions -  and I wish him, and us, success in his efforts. He might take a look at the Ford Foundation's annual  "Imnovations In State and Local Government" awards and write-ups for some inspiration.


My thoughts exactly.. How do people come up with this junk?


If clean water for the reservation is the issue, why not extend the intake for the reservation upstream from the pipeline crossing.  Would likely be minimal cost compared to the pipeline as a whole.  Hard to understand why constructive approaches to resolving issues are abandoned in favor of confrontation.


The Gwich'in have depended on the Porcupine Caribou herd for cultural, spiritual and physical survival for 20,000 years.  They considered the Coastal Plain so sacred and vital to the survival of the Porcupine caribou herd they would not hunt there even when they were starving. The U.S. signed a treaty with Canada to protect the Porcupine caribou herd and its habitat.  President Dwight D. Eisenhower and a Republican Congress protected the entire Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for its unique plant, animal and fish species, to honor International Treaty rights, recreation, subsistence hunting.  This is federal public land belonging to all Americans, NOT THE STATE OF AK OR FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES.


Those skiers and other athletes are just there to enrich themselves off the other students paying their fees and scholarships.

Those sports are completely unneeded and should be eliminated


If you spend a month in Serenity Lane for $16,000, and don't get cured, tough luck.  $250,000 is a little over 15 months of treatment. Are you kidding? 10 years for Ms.Embezzelbitch


The city cannot pay for the rail but has ukupaila money for pay raises?  Assistants in HPD make more than the Chief because of overtime?  Who ever heard of an admin staff...especially an assistant to work overtime?  The mayor turning down pay raises does not mean anything...he makes an additional $200K from a bank for doing nothing...I wonder why the bank needs him on their board?

Crazy things going on in our city.


Sooner or later it's time to quit the semantics. The NDP together with the Greens can account for just under 60% of the votes cast. Simple, isn't it!
Now lets get on with business, the BCLiberals lost a vote of confidence, let the L-G call on the leader of the NDP to form whatever minority supported by the Greens.  Then lets see some legislation and votes in the legislature. We had seven weeks of games played by the BCLiberals and believe it or not here in the Okanagan the MoTI is apparently unable/unwilling to do urgent road repairs because of that. Really!!! Now if that isn't a Gong Show!


Thanks, Patty, for standing up for the middle class.  We do want cooperation between parties, but we don't want acceptance of policies that hurt the poor, minorities, and women.  The President's speech shows that's his goal.  To divide us and dominate us is not acceptable.

We do want you to hear us.  Listen to us.  See us.  And, face us.  Hold a public townhall meeting.


I agree we should enforce the laws regarding cyclists. I often tell cyclists that go through a red light that I know someone who got a $300 ticket for that same thing.
But I was also thinking we should enforce the laws for motorists. If motorists want respect from good drivers, they out to follow the law. We have motorists and cyclists talking on phones, eating, not signaling, riding with lights off, and drinking and driving/riding, The only difference that I can see is that the cyclists are putting their own lives at risk, not another driver, pedestrian or motorist. So except that the same law violation can lead to killing someone with a car, there is no difference.


Please explain why you don't think it is "sustainable"?  Many wildlife populations are hunted sustainably and have been for many many decades....essentially proving that hunting can be biologically sustainable.  Even if the number is half of what the government says, the number killed through hunting (a little more than 200) is very unlikely to cause  the overall population to decline, regardless of the fact that these are a slowly reproducing ,"keystone" species, etc. Nor does removing 1.5% of a population constitute a "slaughter" as the term is now used in common parlance.  I suspect rather, that your main objection is a moral one and of course you would be entitled to express your own views on that.


Yes!...why isn't the FEDS looking at him also?...Hmmmmm??

Preservation of our natural treasures was, and still should be, the intention. These lands weren't set aside for future jungle-gym sites, or rollerblading rinks.
Are they also going to include an "ATM like" kiosk where we can pay to maintain this lame highway?


You shouldn't make assumptions. Most people here commenting know more than you realize. Myself included.


Of course complaining to God, especially about one's own defects and short falls is a marvelous form of prayer.


Give it a rest Joe Miller. You didn't win 6 years againstMurkowski when she won in a WRITE IN campaign. Save the Alaskan people from seeing your ads for the next two months.


And what might have happened in the last 10 years to result in the US being in worse shape. Oh...I don't know...oh wait...I got it....I know it....the worst economic collapse since the great depression. Thats it! The great republican / Bush recession happened.

Funny how that little tidbit slips the mind of someone telling me to "get some" facts. It's also interesting to hear a conservative tell me how happy they are that Reagan was able to triple the deficit during what were supposedly great economic times...that little fact slip your mind too?

And funny how you failed to credit the Bill Clinton economy. Oh I get it, everything good, Reagan gets credit, everything bad Dems get blame. And did I mention the fact that Reagan tripled the deficit. I can make morning in America too If i'm allowed to triple the deficit.

A conservative telling someone to "get some" facts...nearly blew coffee through my nose on that one.


Dear Fox News viewers,
The Russian spies were all paid to help Trump


Immigration maintains high unemployment and underemployment. Decreasing immigration and foreign workers is the only thing that will improve the Canadian economy. More people is an option, not a requirement, we can get more people in Canada by having more babies, so that easily takes care of that and we avoid all the economic and social problems associated with immigration. This is what we need to do to fix the Canadian economy. Email your MPs today about decreasing immigration and Canadian babies instead.


Ask the Dutch. Here's one Dutch person's opinion I got from a Financial Times article on the Dutch elections:-

"Ten years ago, I was more trusting — I thought the integration of Muslims would go well here. I did not begrudge anyone his or her existence in our beautiful country. But I now know that for many Muslims, this integration will not happen. As an example, there were big Turkish demonstrations in Rotterdam to protest the [attempted] coup in Turkey [in July]. Demonstrating Turks who have been living for years or were born here, I found frightening. They seem to feel absolutely no affinity with the Netherlands."


Neither Scripture nor Catholic teaching holds that Jesus was omniscient. They do, however, hold that he grew in knowledge and wisdom as all people do.

And knowing what is in a person's heart is not the same as knowing the contents of a piece of bread. Again, I doubt Jesus gave the matter much thought.


I have to agree with local media here. Neither of those statements are racist whatsoever . But the fact he twisted it and played the racist card is pretty much expected. Minority’s have all the power . They can be racist by calling white peple racist and it’s okay. But muslims are the biggest racist around .  Just look around the world. Muslims are at war everywhere over race and religion. Everywhere. So for a Muslim to play the racist card. Would only work in Canada. Pathetic


It's not Trump, it's those he empowers around him--the anti-gay cabinet and legistlators.  Pence notoriously said that it would be better to fund conversion therapy than HIV treatments.

Tempest in a Teapot - they audited 3 years of everyone's pay,  found two instances of errors on timesheets for 22 employees in two locations, and the compactor issue. Fine seems excessive, as is headline.

It makes no sense that Assad did this, it seems to be a complete lie the rebels/those who want to take Syria for themselves are using,. Why is our media so quick to promote this lie to encourage way?
Should be a big clue our news media in Canada has little to do with reporting reality and everything to do with manipulating you.

If all that CB publishes is what interviewees tell its staff, then Pierre OmIdiyar has wasted his money.

Political tweeting is painfully ubiquitous.  Yours is noteworthy, as Chad made clear, because of its wit, sophistication, insight and bile.

He made a minimal effort to explain who was behind this.  It's not simply about Vietnam though your family's story is particularly poignant.     You have over thirty years of public writings and comments and the briefest reference to some of it would have been helpful.

I immediately recognized your name but it took 5 minutes on Google to get a fuller picture.  Chad should have spent those 5 minutes and another asking you about the information and a final 5 putting it in the story.

If your tweets were done with as little effort they would be like all the rest and ignored.  There is no shortage of shallow and facile.  I agree with you:  "It's about elevating your game."   I'm hoping Chad does so.

Was cincy ,great game T$...(trev "gonna make money) T$ get your golden contract b4 the Superbowl victory, MY BROTHER, all that it talk ..underdog bs,keep on keepn on,we have a Superbowl too win... #ROAD2FEB I AM BC-WW


maybe we should all just start writing our own headlines and corrections as suggestions to the RG and word shame them.....


Well, just stamp your little foot Lisa and tell that old Mitch McConnell that he's not playing nice.

Or..... and this is a stretch... grow a backbone and demand an end to this secrecy. This is not good for democracy, this not good for the country. Go and read your oath of office and do you job.


The purpose of transportation is efficiency.  Users of transportation, besides expecting efficiency, also expect to complete trips safely.  Both attributes are products of competence.
Government as provider of infrastructure to facilitate efficient transportation also regulates who drives and how in vain attempts to create safety.  In order to insure the largest possible pool from which the Petro-Car-Tels can fish profits the government sets standards of performance that are no more than codified incompetence so that hardly anyone is denied their patriotic duty to consume.
Thus we have traffic jams unrelieved by infrastructure or public transportation and an insane death toll that proves the ineffectiveness of regulation as guarantor of competence.  Fiddling with traffic lights, expecting courteous behavior and adding busses is hopeless.  And until LTD provides ways for riders to get from neighborhoods to bus lines and back people will stay in their cars.


In the 20 years I've known my wife, (who is a die-hard lifelong Bronco fan), I've only seen her turn off her Broncos twice...Super Bowl 48 and tonight!. I am trying to like what Denver is doing at QB, but after tonight, I wouldn't let Eli out of town without his brother talking to him with a beer and a slice of pizza and tells him to come to Denver for one more Super Bowl run.


The worst economic context since the Great Depression.  Oh please, the underlying economics were still good, and six months later, the rebound was on.  Were you here in the early 80's with 22% interest rates and unemployment rates well over 10%, and oil prices on a long downward spiral?  That was a downturn.


Where's Noah?


Thanks!

Weird legal adjective to differentiate between small a large thefts.


Thank you PM Trudeau for sending over this delegation and saving the life of this Canadian.  That is called leadership.  Another great moment for our Canadian government.  Everyday our country just keeps on winning, unlike America.


Obviously it wasn't secretly deployed. More like: Russia deploys new cruise missile .


Where's Chin?  Isn't he going to try to be first to sue Trump?


So when will "oversight" become complaints of "muzzling" again.

We're still all wondering where all those ficticious "muzzled" scientists went.

It seems to be a very complicated bureaucratic pancake being created so expect the complaints of muzzling to surface again.


I regularly watch this show from the upper desert in Ca. above Los Angeles. Most of it's enjoyable, but every time "Bear" climbs a tree without thinking of consequences if he falls; slugs something (usually something living); or howls (an interminally long time) my first responds is to shout to him via a glass screen "IDIOT"! Sure wish somebody would let him know he will most likely meet his " maker" untouched, if you get my drift.
LOVE son/inventor Noah, and hope his budding true love lasts. She seems to be a great match for him. Hope the girls warm up to her, as he needs a break. After all, mom Amy wants "Browntown" to grow, right?
Lastly, some of these boy/men really need speech therapy. That slurry lisp drives me nuts. Do they EVER think a woman wants to hear THAT the rest of her life? (Answer: most likely NOT!) And that's NOT an "accent" by the way, or ALL of the "kids" would sound that way, and they don't. Just Bear, Gabe,and I believe it's the older girl, the great shot.


Sue; you need to watch "Rumsfelds War". Donald Rumsfeld is responsible for thousands of US military deaths due to his rejection of additional troops for the purpose of securing Iraq post invasion.


Those that didn't vote for him outnumber those that didn't by a pretty wide margin. It's hard to govern like a maniacal tyrant in a democracy. Especially in a two party system where you don't have the support of the electorate.


You sound like an elitist, mtf1953... Many people barely finished high school but they sure are hard working, tax paying, law abiding individuals... You sound like Hillary... Just deplorable... And you know what mtf1953...? You can call me anything you want because you have the right to. I fought for those rights for 25 years while serving in the military... And you know what else, mtf1953...? I actually graduated summa cum laude and have taught for 28 years... How bow dah, mtf1953..? I think you are the one that's acting like a "dumb pig".... But you know what, mtf1953...? I still like you....😊
