"The Wahine open with No. 10 Brigham Young (6-0) followed by Nevada (2-4) on Friday and Baylor (4-2) on Saturday."  hawaiiathletics.com says Hawaii plays Baylor on Friday and Nevada on Saturday.  Has that changed?


Say whatever you want but the bottom line is accepting inequality. Accepting it is OK  and morally correct to take from others what you need for yourself. That is not justice. Justice starts with a principle and this one is corrupt.


Exactly! And from where is this fantasy coming wherein he claims that "the rich live virtually tax free"!

Please, someone, anyone, please, I beg of you...explain to me how I can become rich and then "live virtually tax free"!?!?!?!?!?!


Civil Beat, we want a "like" button on articles. We don't only want to like comments. Articles and authors deserve likes, too! Aloha.


Hard to argue with this.

Now give him a Nobel prize.  How about for literature?


Are you serious, SJSJ? "better to make sure all the ducks are in a row". Good advice so how can you actually defend the botch up that Trump just engineered? Is it really Trump at any cost or do even people like you have a limit? Trump's incompetence will guarantee a Democrat resurgence in two years.


Gawd. The war in Afghanistan has been going on for 16 years, and there is absolutely nothing to show for. Mattis' strategy will be exactly as successful as were those divised by the other supposed super-humans McChrystal, Petraeus and Rumsfeld himself. It is all about holding on to bargaining chips now; the country and its people be damned. Who in their right mind would want any part of that? All these think-tankers (or is it tank-thinkers?) should just sign up for a tour as privates or corporals and see how they like it.


It's a kind of scientific enquiry called Paleontology.


Interesting article, but "millions of people"? The article refers to small handfuls here and there.


"... his place is only assessed at 2.6 million this year"

Yeah, I bet it was strategically assessed lower unlike for the rest of us. If he were to sell today, I bet he could likely pull in $4-million, hence my personal assessment of what it actually should be assessed by the county but isn't.


I am curious, and maybe just coming at this question as a armchair legalist, but why didn't Chin save himself some grief on this and throw the whole case in front of a grand jury?


Anyone who believes that this is actually going to work also believes in the tooth fairy, pixi dust and Santa Clause. There are so many contingencies and assumptions in this "agreement" it is simply bound to fail. As in Iraq and Afghanstan, the US has  been part of creating this deadly debacle and now the Russians have added to the horror. The idea that the US and Russia are now going to settle this proxy war somehow is just absurd. The dragons have been unleashed and the only way this carnage is going to end is for the US to withraw all support, go home with egg all over its face amd let Assad and Russia slaughter people until they establish control. Another sad story of American adventurism causing death and destruction in the world.


Trump is a Politician. Hillary is (or was) a Politician.
-
Trump went after one group. Hillary  went after another group.
-
To court their respective "one group," both Trump and Hillary "did not cater" to another group. That's the way Politics work. Hillary thought she could win if she ignored one group; Trump thought he could win if he catered to one group over another. That's how Politics work.
-
Somebody had and has to be "sacrificed" in the Political Game of Politics that both Trump and Hillary played. No Politician can please all the people all the time. That's the way Politics works.
-
If you don't like it.....I guess you can always pray for Jesus to come back.....and soon....because God does not play "political games."


Lucky Andrew Scheer.
.
From now until the next election, voters are going to have daily reminders on the evening news of Stephen Harper and Mike Duffy.
.
I'll bet Andrew Scheer just can't wait until Harper is called as a witness, and finally has to testify in open court...
.
If it takes two years to get to trial, that testimony could be on the news, every night, during the next federal election campaign.
.
Ah, the Duffy Affair.
The gift that just keeps on giving.
.
Yes, indeed.  Andrew Scheer must be thrilled about that idea.  How lucky can you be?


Government works this way:  the Assembly appropriates the funds, the mayor spends/manages those funds.  The proposed ballot initiative has NOTHING to do with the mayor.


The state needs to cut their loses and pony up . They signed the agreement . Like it or not , our state reps signed the deal . We might as well pay now , before it's more later.   You don't special order a car and months later get to take it back. Same with this building . We ordered all the bells and special paint job . We owe the money . The state will lose in court and be required to pay damages above what we could have settle for.    Like it or not , the owners gave us the building we wanted. They shouldn't be left holding our bag.


He has until January 2019.
Then you can gripe about the new guy or gal! :-)


Apparently it is you who agrees that he is right.


Thanks for proving me right, I appreciate that.

Now - how many democratic amendments have been included in the AHCA?


What an unbelievably useless comment for a unbelievable topic for the newspaper to write about...


As we have seen for years, left hand of TSA does not know what right hand is doing. Standard for them.

TSA is already considering new #D CT scanners which can spot explosives in a laptop while still in your bag. No need to remove.  Being tested this summer.

So what is with this ban? Just another day with shoddy TSA management.

Give me a break.

And her husband paid $500,000 for one speech...


Hey Allie, did you read the article about Michelle Obama calling out women who did not vote for Clinton as voting against their own voice....? Talk about respect, huh... And you did not see that post from SA because once again, it doesn't fit their narrative. As a woman, do you not feel disrespected by someone telling you to vote a certain way because you have the same genitalia...? If you can respect what MO said, you gotta respect wn...


Watch out Coach Rolo their parents may ask for your resignation, attain legal counsel, see School administrators, go to the media and yell at you in the school parking lot. Lol


Perhaps because the reporters deal with politicians on a regular basis, have seen the President's rallies, and witnessed  how President Trump treats those who criticize him, including his claims the he could shoot someone and his supporters would still vote for him.


How sweet. :)  Rather than a direct route to the altar, what say you to a nice cup of coffee? :)


There is no doubt their strength is software coupled with security ( perceived of actual, I am not sure which of maybe both)......but the problem is Apple, Google, and a host of others, not to mention Mercedes Benz have thrown billions at this, and started almost a decade ago.....with BB's comparative puny resources in this endeavour....I am not convinced they can compete....but Mr. Chen is a wizard and I would never count him out....but the deep pockets and experience others have in this field worry me for BB's efforts .


Open Letter to Daily Maverick editors, and a challenge to highlight it where you highlight your anti Trump gumpf every morning.
Dear DM Editors, Please get over this Russia thing, it has taken CNN from number one watched news channel in the US to, as some say, behind Yogi Bear reruns in popularity. They, the Clinton's, the Democratic Party and CNN, have been trying to prove collusion between Trump and the Russians that got him elected. What got him elected was Hilary, she lost, nothing else.
Do you think the US is not trying to interfere in the domestic policy of just about every country they think matters? Russia does the same, China does the same, a piddling $250,000 ad campaign on Twitter is not going to change the way the people think.
Dem. Sen. Mark Warner says it is "Deeply disappointing and inadequate", yes it is, because they didn't find anything to incriminate Trump.
So please DM stick to uncovering local corruption and stop repeating CNN BS.
Thanks.


Confucius say denver post very liberal newspaper 😑


Right on, Shannyn! Most excellent and my thoughts and actions, too! Resist tyranny! Resist Trumpism...


So if America was determined by the UN to be violating the human rights of blacks that would be no big deal to you?
Carding still goes on.
George Washington owned slaves, something in fashion at the time. Macdonald committed genocide and began the institutionalization of people resulting in sexual abuse, medical experiments and god know what else. Leave it to Canada to end up with the founding father starving people to death and that's a fact.
Sorry, I'll take George  W.


Why doesn't he go away and take his buddy Brauchler with him?  Grandstanding went out years ago.


I do agree anyone who harps on about thoughts and prayers during a time of crisis are bitter and twisted individuals indeed.


I know it is possible for traditional Republicans to organize, finance and push back against the extremists in their midst.
But when a guy like Ed Gillespie is using racism in the Virginia governor’s race, it’s obvious that this process has not yet begun.
One has to wonder how much of the racist animus is promoted and fostered by Russian propaganda and echoed by Republican Party members primarily because it's an amplified version of it's own dog whistle politics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gillespie
The Republican Party could very well be colluding with Russia down-ticket as well as in the presidential election.
Once shown to be effective, Republicans would have no qualms about being subservient as long as it got them election results.
Party before Nation being their working motto today.


Where is it?  Who benefits from it?  How much is it?  ALEC's entire reason for being is to install Koch dogma at every level of government for years done in secret.  Most of the gridlock found in state legislatures and Congress is directly imposed by minority agents putting up every roadblock to progressive legislation while pre-programmed legislation from ALEC serves corporate(mostly oil/energy) thievery.


There are plenty of accusations against alleged money laundering by big international bank for drug dealers and terrorists. As late as last Christmas an unnamed bank in Canada paid a penalty for committing over 1000 violations of money laundering rules.
HSBC paid almost $2 billion in fines for laundering for drug dealers and terrorists. We should be more concerned with how billions of dollars are laundered through the system every year than an error in acting cautiously by PayPal.
I have doubts about how big international banks operate but I trust PayPal to operate lawfully and morally.

It our weird and wonderful world of post-facts, banks that have paid fines for laundering money don't excite people but a small error regarding $200 by PayPal will surely bring out marchers and the media will do its best to rile everyone up.


How unfortunate. At least the law also has a remedy to protect these men and women. They should  apply for T visas, as the conditions in which they worked under are consistent with what human traffick victims go through.  They should call Legal Aid Society of Hawaii - Hawaii Immigrant Justice Center and do an intake.  Interpreters are provided if needed.


HOUSTON – A hurricane in the heart of the U.S. energy industry is set to curtail near-record U.S. oil production for several weeks, with the impact expected to reverberate throughout the country and across international energy markets. Whatever. That is not the only place in the country that has oil or can refine oil. Trust me.


It seems to me that those who are determined to keep the word Islamophobia in M-103 when there are plenty of other/better/more accurate words are wanting to condemn with a very broad brush any criticism of Islam. It's starting to look like a blasphemy case. The Liberals will lose a lot of support if this motion passes and they (Liberals) all support it.


In the early days of Western development, with long distances between settlements and limited facilities, there was the traveling salesman who promoted the elixir guaranteed to solve all ills. It became known, and the historical record shows it was/is the Democrat Party. All across the land from near broke Seattle, to bankrupt Vallejo, and Stockton Calif., violence ravaged Oakland, and Chicago, broke and violence ravaged Detroit, these Democrat managed cities after cities not just years, but in many cases for decades, have been sold snake oil.
"This" (the Democrat Party) has been the elixir, the snake oil of choice for many, year after year, decade after decade, and it has been to their own demise.
I think it's "at least" time for a new brand of snake oil


Nah, that was for a one way ticket and sounds about right.


I would like to know the amount of the check the Democratic Party sends to this newspaper to reprint the drivel of this sellout, Mr. Pitts. As an American who happens to have dark skin I can attest that a lot of people such as myself are pulling for Donald Trump to win this election over the Biblical lawlessness of the Clintons and their consistent chicanery and skullduggery.

The future picks of our Supreme Court, common core only teaching our history back to 1870 and allowing Sharia Law to flourish in this country unchecked far out weigh any minor mistake the citizen politician Donald Trump will ever make....


All employees pay from Day 1 for this pension. If the State didn't screw with it so much, there would be more than enough money. How about the inept politicians, judges etc. who get it all for nothing and only need to work 10 years!


Or, one might investigate other sources (i.e. more than reading what you like and being satisfied, which on second thought is what got Trump elected) and learn that the electoral college was designed to prevent someone like Trump - wealthy and with no political experience - from being elected.


Then watch the Laugh game at no charge same as the Junior game on TV.   Ur not paying the ticket for the game so what's your MUTE point?   YES SIR


Good to know that you at least admit misogyny is a problem.  But since we're talking about a very, very small number of additional votes Clinton needed to win, I think the point is that misogyny alone could have been enough.

For example, in these states, Trump won by:
Michigan: 10,000 votes of 2.6 M cast (16 electoral college votes).
Minnesota 43,000 votes of 2.7 M cast (10 EC).
Pennsylvania 44,000 votes of 6 M cast (20 EC).

If any more than half those voters had gone the other way, Clinton would have won the electoral college and been president  -- ie, 50,000 votes.

As for 50 other countries having elected female leaders, that's nice, but they have all been the exception to the norm of electing male leaders.  Also, zero countries in North American have ever elected female leaders, and we're not even close to electing half female legislators either.  Heck, even Trudeau's appointing half women to cabinet has resulted in many fragile male egos who just can't stop howling about it.


Flake is nothing more than just another libtard (snow)flake, who was about to get pulverized in the upcomming primary.

But don't worry poor itty-bitty-widdle-wibtards, you will still get to see plenty more of them on your MSNBC or CNN.


Macdonald would not be "rolling in his grave." He himself was an immigrant. The Dominion Lands Act was passed in 1972 while he was PM. Just a couple of years after he died Canada made a concerted effort to bring in  non-traditional immigrants. (i.e. not British or French) Canada developed "block settlements." to create ethnic groupings across the prairies to ease adjustments. Canada was designed as a multi-cultural country, basically from day 1. The reason the majority of the settlers were European was because there was a population explosion in Europe and thousands of people were looking for a place to happen. For the most part, outside of large cities these ethnic areas still exist. There is a pretty good chance that somebody named Dagmar has ancestors that settled in the Interlake region.
There have been woman covering their heads on the prairies for 100 years and nobody cares. Why?
The one common trait Canada looked for was "toughness; stop wining to get to work, you are accepted."


That makes absolutely no sense, so it would seem your confusion continues. Rights don't come from the government, so it makes no sense for you to say "the federal government would be the only doctors." We have the right of freedom of religion, so are you contending that means the only ministers, priests and rabbis would be from the federal government?


Fuuny how you would never say Angry minority supremacist.


I'm sure Moore will survive also. Pity....


Well hopefully, it will be able to take the wear and tear and not fall into disrepair as do so many other state facilities.  At the school I taught, we got a new "state-of-the-art" building about 12 years before I retired.  Within a few years, both projector screens broke, the speakers broke, three outlets did not work, and many of the door and restroom fixtures broke.  And this was not because of vandalism or rough use.  This was just regular usage.  When I retired, most of the problems were still not fixed due to parts being unavailable or, as with many school facility repairs, you are placed on a "list" and I guess our "turn" was not up yet.  Anything looks great brand new!  Good for Farrington!


Are you on to something? Ye. . . . No. What you failed to discern was the answer to the question, how would the DA know who would go on to commit more crime, to wit, murder, and who would not? Have you discerned that without a working crystal ball, the DA would not know who would kill and who would not. Therefore, the other person's blame was misplaced on the DA. Only if every defendant went on to kill someone would the blame be proper on the DA for offering a plea bargain and not going for the gusto. Hence, it was logical to offer sarcastically that every defendant goes on to kill someone.


Yes, and I have the right to counter that opinion. It's funny how you claim that I'm manipulating the facts for my own agenda by bullying those whose views are not my own. You should be aware that Trump is manipulating the fact that Kaepernick was protesting against police brutality into an agenda that he was being disrespectful to the flag.

https://undertheradar.military.com/2016/09/kaepernick-meets-veteran-nate-boyer-kneels-anthem/


and it begins, the very people that voted for trump are going to get exactly what trump promised thus re-electing him in a land slide in 4 years!..   no one is going to loose coverage lefty, this is preliminary pieces of a program. .. but you keep living in the lies and spin of the dems and stay on the sidelines as the usa moves forward


She paid out of her pocket because MSM used the incident to deflect from the impending regime-change war they support. Same thing you're doing now.


I wonder if he wishes to dry hump their leg while he smokes.


He looked like a decent guy. Its just a damn shame. A military veteran, mental decline. Im glad no cops were killed, but I really wish this would have ended better for Mr Musser.


I'd like to see Trump nix the H1-B visa program altogether. There's no need for US tech companies to be hiring foreign talent. Shortages, my a**. They just want the government to think that. They just want cheap labour. Same as here in Canada. I'd like to see the TFW and Provincial Nominee programmes scrapped as well. Again, just an excuse to bring in cheap, foreign labour when there's plenty of unemployed/underemployed people already here that could do the jobs.


"have increasingly charged sexual assaults in the least serious category, from 88 per cent of cases when the three tiers of sexual assault were first enacted in 1983, to 98 per cent today. "
Well first the police make arrests. It is the crown that decides what charges are brought to court - they can opt for more serious or less serious if they want.
Second, maybe there are more complaints of sexual assault that don't involve rape (which imho is what most picture when they hear the term)... maybe more women or pushing for charges on the less serious infractions. We don't know because for some reason the authors neglected to include that information.
And " Police data send a message to the public that 98 per cent of sexual assaults reported are of little consequence."
Please, they do no such thing. Everyone I know thinks rape is a very serious crime that should be prosecuted.


Then you should spend some time finding out who Canada's Cabinet ministers are.


Never, it is who he is.    I have never considered him a suitable candidate for public office.   We may have pushed political correctness too far, but there are very good reason for a public figure to hold their cards close to their vest.    Words will ALWAYS be taken out of context by opponents and twisted to hang the speaker.    It's stupid and can only be seen by a narcissist as 'good' for them.

You don't mess up alliances by being stupid with what you say.     Trumps EQ is as low as I've ever seen in a public figure.     He's not honest, he makes huge factual errors all the time, and being emotionally out of control has never been a standard for wisdom.


No worry. Football season is starting up in a few weeks.


Radir does whine a lot. But please quit calling him Jesus.


Governments at all levels need a certain amount of money to operate.  If a state has no income tax, it has to make up for that by raising taxes and fees in other areas.  States that have low gas taxes make up for that by making people pay tolls to use roads.  Nothing is free.  It's "Pay me now or pay me later," but pay you will.


This guy should be locked up in prison for a long time.  Another GEM.  Here we go.    9.26.2017:  Assault Public Safety Officer, Strangulation, Theft 3rd Degree.  10.8.2015:  Theft of Services 3, Violation of Park Rules, Theft 3, Criminal Trespass 2, Criminal Trespass 2, Criminal Trespass 2, Burglary 1st Degree, Unlawful entry into motor vehicle, Unlawful entry into motor vehicle.  10.6.2015:  Criminal trespass 2, Violation of Park Rules, Criminal trespass 2, Criminal trespass 2, Theft 3.  9.29.2015:  Burglary 1st Degree, Criminal trespass 1st Degree, Unlawful entry into motor vehicle.  9.27.2015:  Criminal trespass 2.  9.27.2015:  Criminal trespass 2.  9.9.2015:  Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree, Theft 3rd Degree, Burglary 2nd Degree.  9.7.2015:  Violation of Park Rules.

As you can see this guy loves the parks, is a Burgler, and a Thief.  Now he tried to KILL a Safety Officer.  I hope this is the icing on the cake and he gets Lotsa prison time.

Who will be the first one to say, (cont)


Let's keep the ship and give free "3 hour tours" to anyone that wants to go, free booze and drugs if you go. Imagine an intersection without  panhandlers, no one relieving themselves in the park, the "city campgrounds"/homeless camps gone, city bus benches without someone passed out on it, petty theft cut in half, reduced ambulance runs for the frequent flyers of our Emergency Rooms.  How much will they sell that back to us for?


More questions here then answers. In case you hadn't noticed GCI is no longer local, they sold out several months ago, and much like the Safeway purchase of the Carrs stores which we've all been paying for in the last 12 years through astronomical price increases, when that happens you can kiss local customer service bye bye!


If a motor home has air brakes and is as big or bigger than a box truck they should have a class B CDL once it is bigger than 40Ft they should have a Class A CDL   Just Sayin


Tinchote,

On your point about genital mutilation...

1. Both circumcision and female genital mutilation are cultural practices that predate Islam and exist and have existed for millennia to varying extents among several religious traditions throughout the Middle East and East and North Africa.

2. There is a significant difference in the nature, extent and impact of female genital mutilation by comparison to male circumcision that, I suggest, to which you don't give due regard.


Thank you for an informative and well written article.


A reasonable and justified policy which is wholly in conformity with Catholic teaching and Canon Law.

Persons who enter ‘same-sex marriage’ or civil unions plainly manifest their public opposition to infallible Church teaching that restricts marriage to one man and one woman. Giving public scandal to the faithful involves “an attitude or behaviour which leads another to do evil” (CCC 2284).  Such services will give the impression the Church approved of the deceased’s homosexual lifestyle.

"Assuredly, the word of truth can be painful and uncomfortable but it is the way to holiness, to peace, and to inner freedom. A pastoral approach which truly wants to help the people concerned must always be grounded in the truth. In the end, only the truth can be pastoral.” (Cardinal Ratzinger)


I wish it were that simple. The question occurs that we value different functions of state government at different levels; this makes your idea as difficult as any other I've heard of.

The biggest problem I've seen is that in many areas, people have made industries of state spending. Education is but one example: on my island, the education industry has been so top heavy with administration that little money is left for students. In Thorne Bay, Southeast Island School District (the state) built a new gym/music complex that was so expensive they had to lay off the music teacher because they couldn't afford a music program.

I imagine the same type of thing has happened across the state.


I expect that a 2060 Target Date Fund is aimed at the parents of teenagers and not the teenagers themselves.  It's probably playing on the (legitimate?) concerns that returns will likely be lower over the next several decades and that your kids will live longer.  Compounding makes a huge difference but teenagers won't have the financial wherewithal, sophistication or compunction to start thinking about retirement until they are stuck in a hopeless game of catch-up.   So why not give them a headstart? i.e. "you won't even notice the $1,000 (or whatever amount) a year you put in the fund, but it will make all the difference down the road for your kid".   Personally, I find that argument kind of compelling.  I invest my son's Canada Child Benefit in an informal trust in his name.  It's only a small amount each year but I treat the money like it was never mine to begin with.

Alternatively, this fund is targeting the wealthy, such as parents looking to set up a trust fund.


Two wrongs do not make a right.  We should all uphold the law of the land.  Simply because Trump ignores the law doesn't mean it is all right for another 17,000 illegals to break the law, too.


It certainly can't get any worse.


His point , are you kidding me ?  Look at your property tax bill in Anchorage and explain how we aren't already giving education the biggest slice of the pie.  It's stunning how much we property tax payers and the state give the ASD and yet they still cry poverty .


Ok, thanks for the clarification.

What does "irredeemable" entail.  Shunning her for life?  Would killing a person be the same?


The auto industries inflated wages and benefits have driven a huge automation push.   Car plants that used to employee thousands have been replaced by automated plants that now employee only hundreds of humans.

If the progressive concept of a livable minimum wage is realized there will be financial incentive to cut the number of employees and replace them by robots.   Rather than having thousands of grape pickers for example,  we will have hundreds getting a livable wage looking after the automated grape pickers.


Anchorage may well be becoming more "moderate" than "conservative".  But I'm not sure it's reasonable to use as proof of that the votes received by President Obama, running against Mitt Romney who was not well liked, to the votes received by Mondale, who was so soundly beaten across the country as to be embarrassing.  I think, with the exception of those on the far right and far left, that you're correct to say that people's political leanings depend more on the specific issue and the specific person.


I give this guy credit for being creative.  By penning anything with 'Trump' in the title he knows he'll get coverage.  Perhaps he's angling for a job with the trump campaign as a creative propaganda writer.


Looks like Avenging Angel is out of touch on this topic, or can  you count?


BREAKING:  Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile has been fired from CNN after new Wikileaks documents prove that she shared questions with the Clinton campaign before a debate and a town hall during the Democratic primary, and has accepted her resignation:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/10/31/trump-id-get-electric-chair-cheating-debates-like-hillary/

Brazile had taken over as DNC Chair after the previous Democratic leader, Sen. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, was fired for fraud, conspiracy, and rigging the Democratic primaries.

Brazile and the media have already been found guilty of rigging the election process, with Brazile and CNN feeding debate questions with Clinton before a town hall debate against Bernie Sanders in March.

No word yet on whether Brazile will now also step down as DNC Chairman, following the Wikileaks documentation.

As of now, the Alaska Dispatch has not posted this information, and no word yet on if they intend to.


Groucho Marx said*something along the lines that it is great to have a large loving family...that lives in another city.
*Or attributed to him.


Winnipeg, Regina, Thunder Bay, etc. have the highest crime rates, and the lowest rates of immigrants.

That's native crime.  Shhhhh , You aren't supposed to talk about that.


Good man!


Not if you account population numbers on a 1:1 basis. Whites are the largest population in the US so you're viewing skewed statistics posted by libtards trying to fool the dumb sheep. LOL With the reasoning you posted that's like saying blacks are the biggest food stamps recipients in Africa. LOL

The article you referenced reminds me of one of the old airline jokes only a (D)onkey would fall for...
"A small two-seater Cessna 152 plane crashed into a cemetery early this afternoon.

Search and rescue workers have found two survivors and recovered 300 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening."


Trudoe will just run over to give them
a hug and a kiss, that'll stop them.
And globe call this uncivil I will know
just how two faced you are. You reported
how he wanted we should hug them.
So man up or are there any real men
working at you rag.


Trump sent DACA and the Iran deal back to Congress to be legislated.  They were done by Obama unilaterally..  The Iran “deal” thru the UN should have required a 2/3rds vote of the Senate. The $7BB sent to the insurance companies as subsidies was pulled by Obama straight from the Treasury and not appropriated by Congress.  Obama acted way more Imperial that Trump has so far.  Imagine Trump pulling funds to pay for the border wall straight from the Treasury without Congressional approval.  How is Trump acting like an Emperor when he puts the legislative function back with Congress where it belongs.


Another racist neo-CON gets his facts wrong, at the same time attempting a personal smear in an article that has nothing to do with, otherwise. Also, not all graffiti is vandalism - but that's also beside the point. This article is about MURALS.


More disinformation from the alt-left.


I would suggest Harper was right with the accountability act to shine a light on how the current funding was being spent. Then we could determine if there was in fact a lack of funding, address it and allocate appropriately.

Justin just threw the taxpayer under the bus and gave away money with no accountability, simply to capture the FN vote.


Thank you for your comment.  I fully agree.  I just don't think the bishops are the ones to represent Catholicism to politicians since the majority of Catholics are not represented by the bishops on issues such as contraceptives, abortion, gay marriage.  Turning to them gives an illusion that they represent Catholics in the politics of this country - and they certainly do not.

And "dialogue?"  Bishops don't know how!  They absolutely have too little experience in true dialogue.  They don't know how to listen and they are not open to learning - to being changed by what they hear.  They can exhort their already held positions - but are not open to learning a different view.

I don't want them even pretending to represent me, as a Catholic, to the political establishment.


...for instance?


For years, white paint was slopped on the windmill in lieu of regular proper maintenance.  From the public’s perspective, the structure looked sound on the outside but in reality, was rotting away.  Rotting wood, like corroding metal (see 2016, million dollar emergency bridge water line hanger repair) requires more than surface paint to address years of decay.   It is disgraceful that this iconic symbol of Oak Harbor was allowed over time to ultimately become the safety hazard that it is today.


Coal should be used to make steel and other high-temperature, high-pressure processes...
Not for energy.


The plan also calls for at least doubling the standard deduction. That would benefit all but the very richest people and those in the high-cost states on each coast. As a homeowner with house value above the median for this area, I would still welcome this plan as I would save a ton in taxes after swapping my interest deduction for the larger standard deduction.


What the heck is a "phones war?"


Where is the proof?


As long as Clownwell is at the helm, that crazy ship of fools will continue to head for the reef.


Note your quote, Raven

"Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold"

Zaaeus was already doing that. He had no need to change. Jesus says he is already a son of Abraham - probably Jewish? He was rich, but he used his richess well.


You are not arguing that CU was a good decision?  Then what are you arguing?  That it was terrible but constitutionally sound?  Legal corporations hadn't even been invented when the constitution was written (US corp law was first established in the very late 1800's).  They have no rights or responsibilities granted by the constitution.

If simply you don't like debate, ten don't post.  Otherwise, I welcome a reasoned argument from any perspective.


You of course assume that I would be praying while someone threatened me or my family.  This is a 'stand-your-ground' state, after all...

And because of my past employment history, five'll getcha ten I've associated with nearly as many "LEOs" as you have.  I know whereof I speak.

I would say something like "thank you for your service", but I generally don't do that unless I know what you've done first.

Having said that, I have known individuals who left the force because they could no longer stand the 'racial' abuse, cover-ups and corruption.  My brother-in-law was one.  Next question.


The misery & drama from Labelling seems to be far more related to 'Personal Character' than any real 'Step-Monster' concoction of generality dreamed up for this Act I, Scene II -- Oh Woe Is Me 'athon.

Step-parents are just that -- Only One Step Away From The Real Deal.. & being a responsible 'Parent [Step or otherwise]' remains as one who can connect with an honest love for a child, which is more important than the who one is 'labeled' as.

Empathy, understanding, kindness, heart-felt joy & companionship are basically what kids can accept intellectually.. & emotionally 'trust'.

. . & please, never under-estimate the I.Q. of a Kid.

It All Works... & with Grown-ups too.

Therefore, how about a whole lot less 'self-pity' in exchange for a far more 'thinking adult' -- because that's the heart-sphere that 'Parents of any suit' must evolve from -- be they Step, Adoptive, Grand, Great-Grand'.. First is the Joy of Being Oneself & then everything else is a genuine hug.

Get My Drift...

You said after you pay taxes you need a loan to live. Now you say you can more than afford it. Which is it?


Don, don't get our hopes up.


Blatchford is very much a cut-and-paste journalist. The annual financial report states: “[p]ersonal income tax revenues increased by $9.2 billion, or 6.7 per cent, reflecting gains in personal income and tax planning by high-income individuals to recognize income in the 2015 tax year before the new 33 per cent tax rate came into effect in 2016.” He dutifully reports this leaving out only the $9.2B difference. The implication is that if the Conservatives had been re-elected there would have been a much larger deficit. Of course, this is what a Liberal government would say. However, it is hard to believe. The April 2015 budget, which of course assumed no new tax bracket in 2016, also forecast an increase in PIT revenues in 2015-16, in fact, it forecast that it would be $9.2 billion.


So therefore it would cost the rest of us in the state who have real jobs more money. That is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong on so many levels.


Dyslexic Klastri got her honorary law degree at Trump University, hence her bitterness towards the Donald after realizing that Trump University never offered any legal courses. LOL


I observe that this topic of female ordination is creating the same old arguments in the comments here.  It has all be said and debated and countered and confirmed many times before.  What this pronouncement of Pope Francis tells us is that there is no way the doctrinal Church is going to budge on the matter, no matter what.  Women may well be able to be ordained deacons, or not even ordained but appointed so as not to open the ordination door even a crack, but not made priests.  Period.
So what do we do?  To stand at the doors of the Vatican and scream in protest will yield no results except for losing our voice.  Those who feel strongly about ordination of women but want to remain in a Catholic tradition will move to the Anglican/Episcopal or Lutheran church.  Others will give up on "church" all together and join the "nones" that have grown so substantially in recent years.  But many will not remain with the RCC or join it, and should shake its dust from their shoes.


That would be called the Darwin effect...


It appears the Trumps dynasty is gaining traction.


Can't find the post that showed up in my mailbox.

I don't think the "unconstitutionality" has been determined.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/sep/11/eric-schneiderman/has-daca-been-ruled-unconstitutional/


I agree, but am too polite to say it first.


The National Front is neither odious nor the equivalent of any party banned in Germany. In a truly democratic society - not that such a thing exists - no political party should be banned.


A wonderful suggestion, Monica. I agree with you that the "love is all there is" argument breaks down not only when children are involved, but with respect to the integrity of certain kinds of relationships. For example, a relationship can be legal but exploitive and bad for one or both parties. Churches are required to speak out about  relationships in which one party is being injured, coerced, or otherwise harmed.


I agree, I don't want to see Trump impeached because that would lead to President Pence, who would be more dangerous because he espouses the same damaging policies but would possess the political wherewithal to ram it through, hastening America's decline. With Trump remaining, the guarantee of continuous chaos and ineptitude will help limit the damage he can cause. Well, unless he pushes the wrong button on his desk while ordering a Coke.


Andree, Lisa Murkowski was a centrist in 2010 and she's remained a centrist since.  Look at her voting record and you'll see.  But if that's too much trouble, look at the Miller supporters who call her a RINO and the Begich supporters who call her a right wing Republican.  Neither are right, but there are enough votes on either side of the aisle to show Lisa is exactly what she promised she would be.
As for the Supreme Court being "useless, irrelevant and broken" have you taken any time at all to review the fact that they've issued many decisions since Scalia died?  And most of those decisions were not even close.


I and many others met McFee in Juneau back on the day when I was living on one of my boats, and he wrote about two of my harbor rat friends - "Barely Human" (Barry Herman) and "Hippy Shark "in his terrific book .. Fun, simpler days!


Are you reading the same article? Here, lets look at what it says.......
 Andrew Weed, 48, received the sentence Wednesday for possession of child pornography....... The newer case stemmed from child porn downloaded at Weed's workplace last year and stored at his home, where investigators found more than 106,000 explicit images on May 31, 2016.

Next let's look at what the word defensive means....
a position or attitude of defense :
to be on the defensive about one's mistakes.

Looks like YOU'RE the defensive one Joe.
I, on the other hand, am opinionated. I walked in on my niece being molested, I helped put that sick, pathetic, looser in jail. If you're sympathetic to these sick freaks, well, you need to go get some mental help.


But there were no gas chambers in Dachau or in any of the camps liberated by the allies!


I see today that there is talk about Trump moving the Press to a larger area somewhere near the Whitehouse because of the larger number who want to play.

A larger audience!


I have never been a Harper fan, but be fair. At the time of his appointment, Meredith had no known record of seducing teenage girls.

On Campus, Trump Fans Say They Need ‘Safe Spaces’


That provision reflects the ignorance of a religious majority that believed that their phony after life insurance policies were real, and that their imaginary supernatural buddy was real. Now less than 30% of Canadians are still religious. The Religious nutters were able to get Birth Control in the Criminal Code of Canada in 1892. Should we go back to that situtiation? As late as 1963 Toronto Pharmacist Harold Fine was arrested, charged and convicted for selling Birth Control.

The Statistics Canada numbers for Religious Belief are vastly inflated.

The real levels are much lower.

http://www.people-press.org/2002/12/19/among-wealthy-nations/

"Six-in-ten (59%) people in the U.S. say religion plays a very important role in their lives. This is roughly twice the percentage of self-avowed religious people in Canada (30%),"


Your compassion is compelling Judah, but it doesnt change the fact that these low lifes deserve to be publicly castrated, disembowled, and hung upside down over a hot fire.


Motley,  Here are two things I think are interesting from the Washington Post Poll:

"In fact, the Democratic Party is viewed as more out of touch than either Trump or the party’s political opponents. Two-thirds of Americans think the Democrats are out of touch — including nearly half of Democrats themselves."

And:  "Only 1 in 10 of those who voted for Trump in November think he’s out of touch — but 90 percent of Hillary Clinton voters do."  That means 10% of Clinton voters have now moved to being Trump supporters or at a minimum, are neutral.

The above may be showing that Trump supporters may actually be growing and nobody is seeing it yet.  No wonder the democrats are desperately trying to get Sanders off the political respirator and pushing Warren to make a fool of herself.

Do you only read the Fringe Media? Somewhere around a thousand operatives associated with the Russian gubmit toiled away generating fake news stories designed to influence the vote, planting them in social media.


Article doesn't mention the Grinich that processed this case to the underemployed curia for this laicization process.
The local bishop?  Especially in an area where the RCC is small.
That an 89 year old would be willing to trudge around should be praised, not punished.
Probably only 89 yr old deacon in the world still shuffling around.
At 89, that he would be willing to do things priests will avoid, is inexplicable!
The rationalization of the deacons who support the manmade law is typical of RC mindset, sadly.
The shallow reasoning they spouted, "...to understand his ministerial obligations. Often, he said, "it is not fair to throw her into something like that." There is an attempt to sound like a deacon has a heavy work load. Not!  Many are simply ceremonial.  Love to dress up but don't see them after they pontificate at one mass.
Dispensations are the candy of pontiffs throughout history, doling them out to favorites.
It's all a subjective game.


I disagree. Start by digging two graves...


An apology. How...nice.

This apology doesn't help anyone who is under attack from their religious communities for their sexuality.Those attacks are on-going, merciless, and need to be stopped because they're driving vulnerable Canadian youth to suicide.


Why is MR afraid of Free Speech?  Is he worried that students might question his narrow agenda? Or is this just a political stunt to try to convince others  that he is not racist?  Either does not bode well for him.


Parroting the US imperial line is not what I expected from a Trudeau.  Can we swap in the other brother?


If this author's perspective of Trump is the same as the that of China's leadership it might be in for a rude awakening. Trump is likely to push trade issues. On this score the US is likely to act unilaterally under a Trump administration to reduce the US trade deficit with China. That means tariffs and America first policies.

I foresee Trump setting a goal to cut or eliminate the US deficit with China by the end of his first term in office. That means a $200 billion hit to China's balance of payments. This could trigger big changes to China's economy and there is little the Chinese can do about it.


Vatican II was properly understood: it is heretical from beginning to end. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to the catholic church. There was nothing wrong with the church when John XXIII convened the council, in fact there was confusion about why it was convened. Since V2 the pews have emptied, vocations have decreased, confusion among the laity has prevailed, homosexuality in the clergy has become the norm, and the catholic church has been reduced in its power and majesty. It's time to repudiate V2 in toto and put an end to the terrible division in our church.


I agree in principle, but a poor person does not have the power he/she needs in American culture that would allow them to be marketed with any kind of equal coverage with other candidates.

And yes, I have met many wise people of moderate income that would serve the nation well.   Finding a person who makes non-money centered decision, that would want to jump into the political cesspool, is another question.


Happy birthday  ALASKA
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME


CNN
oh my!


Yeah with the middle finger salute he gave you and everyone else.


So therefore she can be dismissed as just another pretty face.


Who cares what these multi millionaire Hollywood types have to say about anything.  Maybe we should start asking WWF wrestlers what they think about the newest NASA project budget or the civil war in Syria.

If Trump does change any tax legislation it would be interesting to see if any of these limousine riding, yacht owning Hollywood types restructure any of their personal finances to take advantage of any new rules.

I seriously doubt if any of them will be calling their teams of accountants to instruct them to maximize their tax bills under any new legislation.

Typical "Do what I say and not what I do" attitude.


Canada's health care system is in turmoil. The central gocernment just cut a substantial amount from the budget and told the provinces to do more with less. They already have long waiting lists for CT and MRI scans, etc. This will make things worse for them. Rather than look for greener grass on the other side of the fence, we should find ways to get care to the 10% of our population who do not have access, without totally disrupting a system that is providing care for 90%. If costs of co-pays and deductibles are too high for some, lets find ways to help subsidize those. Fix what is broken without breaking what works.


"There were protests. There's a protest almost every week by some liberal group......."

And I'm glad I live in a country where people are allowed to do so.  Apparently you feel differently.

You must hate America because of its freedom.


This story absolutely restores my faith in humanity.


Hmmmm. So they sold in Spring of 2015 just before prices started going parabolic in the GTA. That $801,000 house is now worth $1,200,000. Selling two years later would have netted them an extra $400,000. Timing is everything as they say....


if this guy doesn't like it, why doesn't he go after his peers for creating this situation in the first place?  Cry me a river!


I agree it is scary, but at least if a minority government it won't last a full four years and once people see the damage they can do they will go back to the BC Liberals, that is off course assuming they go to the extreme the activist want.  Also the BC Liberals with a different leader would probably fare better.  Christy Clark has a lot of baggage that weighed her down.


Me too, and I'm very proud. I never saw myself voting for a Republican in a Presidential race in my life.


Public what? The vast majority of offenses are committed by people known by their victims. How did that protect the public at large? Should there be some people on it? Violent force, strangers, multiple offenses for sure. The rest that never go on to another offense? Who is really being protected?


Use our dedicated do nothing politicians backyards.


Caelus should forfeit the monies they say the state "owes" them due to their negligence and lack of oversight.


I think you are confusing the Great Basin, a huge closed catchment, with the Basin and Range geologic province in which Yucca Mountain is located. The Great Basin is located in north central Wyoming, while the Basin and Range Province includes parts of several Western states including Nevada, where Yucca Mtn is located, and south central Oregon.

Here's what happened to Yucca: "Site characterization work at Yucca Mountain indicated that projected radionuclide releases would exceed the EPA Radiation Protection Standard for geologic repositories within the 10,000 year regulatory period. DOE efforts to have EPA relax its standard failed.."  1992     https://www.nirs.org/wp-content/uploads/radwaste/yucca/yuccaroleofgeology115.pdf

So, would you be for banning speech that promotes family values if there is any insinuation against gay people.  Is it hate speech, and who decides when it rises to the level of censorship?


What about, "Timber"????    There is NOTHING easy about dealing with firewood or cutting wood.  This is what works for me.  I run a Husqvarna 6.5 cubic inch chain saw, 5 ft. bar with chisel bit grind on the chain.  I have a Sthil saw 24 inch bar for the twig stuff.  I have a 10,000 lb winch on the front of my truck with a snatch block to move stuff around.   These days there are only a few landings open for cutting firewood, and they are usually quite a ways away.  Nowadays,  I just call my logging friend in Lorane who lives on 800 acres of solid flat timber land.  He also has a backhoe, and a Cat 550 dozer with winch.  Firewood life  is good.

Greg has been buying barley from our farm in Delta for the past year and half and we pastured cattle for him this summer. He would like to buy animals here or raise them himself, but there is hardly any available. I see this as a great opportunity for Alaskan agriculture to have some real growth and replace some of the food that we import with local products.

People should have goals all through life and retirement is no different.  Goals such as getting educated and employed, getting promoted with better salary, getting married or not, having children or not, buying a home or not, when to retire, etc.  Every goal depends on whether you can afford it or how, (maybe by sacrifice).
Determining how much you spend and how much you have to spend so that you can live is most important.  How much you will no longer have to spend after retirement has to be taken into consideration.  Only then can you decide what is important and what is a dream.  Everyone's circumstances will be different and decisions will be required as you have done through life and most didn't have an advisor then.


Being a conservative, I love nothing more than taking the man to task on his politics, but his visits to the calico queens and brides of the multitudes, if they occurred at all, have little to do with anything concerning the running of the city in my opinion. Many great men, many of the most brilliant of minds, and often found to be rather successful, have had such traits of character.

So, respectfully SEAN_EVERS_JR, why not crucify him for his politics, and especially what has happened to our city on his watch, there is more than enough there to do so. Like his excuses for running off ICE from the courthouse, we don't want him to be scared of going to the free clinic should the need arise! LOL!~

Much more important issues in my opinion, his extra-marital exploits, or even if he has left handed wife, if it doesn't impact this city, this city's business, so be it, his life. But his politics? This is where I believe he should be held accountable, because that does effect this city.


You're right.  But in the choice Between more of the same or off the cliff, it makes it easier to choose.


Rep John Lewis boycotted GW Bush's first inauguration because he felt the election was illegitimate.  So now he is boycotting Trump's first inaugural because he says the election is illegitimate.  Yet he was elected to office in 2000 and in 2016,  in the same elections.  Is Lewis a legitimate congressman,  by his own definition?  Or DeFazio? Schrader? Blumenhauer?  3/5ths of the Oregon delegation is going to find tough sledding for their constituents in the upcoming Congress,  by their own hands.  On the other hand,  who in rural Oregon really cares anymore?


I think Oregon might of missed a true superstar in their own backyard? I was watching highlights of Blake Long from Lincoln H.S. in Ptown. D.E. named defensive player of the year PIL. His size is a question? 6'2" still growing, weight 215lbs. His 40 was 4.56? Quick as lightning off the ball. His nose for the ball is a natural instinct that is almost impossible to teach? I would have hoped that the Ducks would of taken a look at such raw talent?  He would be a project Middle Linebacker but aren"t all recruits a project? Go Ducks!!


Excuses, excuses.
When you start out your presidency with an approval rating of 40%, and your predecessor leaves office with an approval rating of 60%, you're in trouble.


That she took the seat is more disgusting than Frank offering it to her. Folks if you really want to see change in Washington we need to focus on taking back the Senate and filling the SCOTUS vacancy. We do that starting with the ousting of Lisa Murkowski and replacing her with a true independent, Margaret Stock.

The economics certainly don't add up.

Instead of building Site C, Hydro should use the power that BC is entitled to under the Columbia River treaty - over 1,100 MW capacity and 4,000 GWh/yr energy.  But the BC Liberals won't allow it, so instead this power is sold on the market for $30 a MWh, one-third the cost of Site C's energy.

And BC now has smart meters which would allow time-of-use billing to reduce peak loads, further negating the need for Site C.  But the Liberals won't let Hydro take advantage of that either.

Hydro's debt is spiraling out of control - despite a 46% rate increase from 2014 to 2024, Hydro's debt will grow from $16 billion to $24 billion over the same period.  Clearly not sustainable.


"A technology-led effort could advance not just solar and wind but all alternative-energy technologies," says Lomborg, in denial of mainstream science's concerns about untested, speculative environmental engineering proposals put forward as somehow evidence-based.


Here is what the latest polling shows according to CBC:

"The EKOS and Forum polls on Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain conducted in the spring found support in British Columbia for the pipelines ranging from 37 to 41 per cent, roughly 10 points below the national average. Opposition was as high as 60 per cent.

"More recent polling by Insights West in British Columbia also found support at just 35 to 40 per cent, with opposition at 46 to 50 per cent for the two pipelines."

So, the majority of British Columbians - those most affected by the pipelines - disapprove of them . There is no social license to build the Trans Mountain line.

I am correct about what you said, and I don't know why you're trying to run away from it when it's still visible above. You clearly wrote "I bet they didn't even read it." Why are you risking losing a bet if you didn't believe what you wrote?

Now you're backtracking and saying "some did not read it."

What's typical here is people like you, not me, twisting the truth for your ideological purposes.

You're the one who needs to learn the difference between "they" and "some." You only said "some" when you started backtracking from all of them. I don't play games.

Boots, you're becoming the ukublu of Democratic supporters. What I find is most most disturbing, and you should as well, is how the protests at Republican meetings are being organized by groups like Move on or George Soros. You're being duped to criticize your own government. Do you agree with George Soros? Do you agree with Hillary? Both stated they wanted open borders, yet people like yourself parrot their comments criticizing Republicans. Just take that one issue, open borders. Do you believe Hawaii would be better off with open borders? Do you believe an open border would effect Hawaii in a positive way? I've watched Honolulu struggle for many years with the "homeless" issue.  Are you hoping that a Democratic administration would "bail out" Hawaii?


An example of how football is now a year round slave labor where gladiators are trained to entertain the masses. Hey, I enjoy football and have supported it for years, but this exploitation of young men must stop. There needs to be restrictions put in (not only in football) so that these "voluntary" requirements are not imposed year round. When does all this hypocrisy end? Guess never, as long as there's money to be made and papers like SA continue to write about these things as good things without regard to the overall evil of the whole process.

TDW,

Several manufacturers have developed technology to enable EV charging in  five or six minutes. Many posters have provided you with the relevant links. Many posters have reminded you that 99% of EV owners will be able to recharge at home. I passed by six EV charging stations while on a stroll this afternoon. Shell and other oil companies are rolling out modern refueling stations that will provide drivers with either gasoline, hydrogen or electricity for charging. This is the 21st century.

The issue initially may have been Russia joining NATO(, but it quickly dissolved into a "bash Russia" thread NOT a fair discussion of pros/cons, so turnabout is fair play. To Hamilton's key point:
"Instead of posturing and demonizing Russia, invite Russia to join NATO, and make it a serious offer."

If NATO is to continue, then this is a sane and sensible idea, and will never happen as long as the US is dead set on global domination, militarily, economically, and politically. Putin is no angel( who of the major power leaders is?), but he does have a sense of reality and he's probably a whole easier to deal with than whoever will follow him.

Since the US virtually owns NATO, what the other country's citizens think about it doesn't even come up for discussion. The threat of a nuclear war between super powers is vastly more threatening to their health than any fantasy of Russian tanks steamrolling through Europe, and most of them know it even oh so many here don't.

As a breastfeeding mom I am always so sad when our global economic system makes it impossible for women to breastfeed. I am so lucky in Canada I had mat leave. My baby was exclusively breastfed until the age of 1 when she only slowly starting to show an interest in foods such as cereal. Fortunately I was able to work part-time and remotely so that I could continue to breastfeed her, which continued to make up a sizeable part of her diet until age 2. At 3 1/2 I am still breastfeeding her, and I am grateful despite economic sacrifices I had to make (and it really hasn't been easy), there was a general economic support through mat leave and then family benefits to maintain a strong breastfeeding bond/ lifestyle. I definitely can see, however, why that option wouldn't be available to everyone -- breastfeeding is a beautiful gift that I am so grateful I can continue to give my daughter - I hope that all babies can have that basic human right and we do need to make it a priority.


....it would be nice.  I do think the uncertainty in all things is really high especially with all the drama to the south of us.


Much love. You'll be remembered forever


No.  You cannot discriminate against straight people, either.  The "class" is legally called "sexual orientation," not "gay."  And you cannot discriminate against white people, either.  That "class" is called "race," not "black."

If it's international waters, the Chinese don't need anyone's permission to pick up an unmanned drone either.

To be lawfully immune from interference, a sea-going vessel must be manned. Otherwise it can be considered abandoned, or flotsam or jetsam, and retrieved by another ship. Ordinarily no one interferes with drones in  international waters when they're used for scientific or commercial purposes. But the Americans were obviously spying on the Chinese, so the Chinese picked it up. For all the sputtering outrage from Trump and others here, if the roles were reversed the Americans would've done the same thing


Good ole Sully, playing Cold War scare games on the public to get more money to his defense industry contacts.  Why doesn't Sullivan ever offer proof of the Russians' supposed military expansion (even though they are cash strapped due to low oil prices).  Google maps covers all of Russia.  How about some URLs Danny of Google maps showing where these new bases and airfields are?  Danny can't produce this evidence because he is full of BS.


It's no secret within the medical community that when a politician gets sick, strings are immediately pulled to bypass the system. Hypocrisy from beginning to end...


I'm confused -- isn't this "new plan" simply Boston/Cardinal Law redux, prior to the Globe's investigation and revelations:  just pay off the families and require a confidentiality agreement which precludes disclosing and/or further criminal reporting?  The only difference appears to be the alacrity with which claims are responded to.  Did Dolan just turn back the clock to 2002 and receiving accolades for doing so?

Where are criminal investigation and possible prosecution in the equation?  Where are transparency and accountability for victims and offenders?

If this analysis is correct and these are truly objective facts of how past, present and possibly future cases will be handled, where is Pope Francis' much-touted department relative to this nightmare?  I find this an alarming development, not one that represents any kind of viable solution for victims, their families, and the whole dreadful mess.


Both candidates are sinking fast. Bernie is the only one with the integrity to lead our nation.


Bad karma.


It’s interesting how the posters have come back saying how good forest fires are.  They were keeping quiet a couple of months ago.  Maybe they were choking on the smoke like the rest of us.  Move the junk and the and person in the tree, hypocrites.  So much for the NW Forest Plan.


Meanwhile, transportation continues to be the province's largest and fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. Our municipal and provincial pollution reduction commitments are totally broken by this trend. So it doesn't work from a health perspective either. I'm really disappointed that our ten year bike plan doesn't leave us with a safe, usable, connected network, and that it's going to take ten more years of fatalities and high emissions before we have half a network worth of under-used bike lanes. There's no plan for a large, immediate intervention, which is what we need.


But whose paying the bill? It's not unfair.

If a barber doesn't provide you with the haircut you requested, do you go back?

If I visit or call any business for a service that I need and they can't provide it, and, despite that, I go ahead and waste my money there anyway.  I'm being unfair to myself.

The amount of work required is not and should not be the customer's problem. I'm sure that "work" will be factored into the price.

What is rude is a business that does not provide the service asked for by the customer and yet expects their loyalty.

I understand that this what a business person, like yourself, may want.

But, you have NO right to dictate or disparage ANY customer on how and where they spend their money!!


Ivanka, Jared Have Third Email Account, and Yet Another Private Server At Trump Tower

↴

↳ Kushner, Ivanka and other top officials in Trump’s orbit were told not to use private email, were reminded by the NSA not to use private email, and had just wrapped up a campaign based largely on falsified hysteria over a government official’s use of private email, so there is no excuse.
There is Trumpist/Republican hypocrisy though.

There's ample proof the Trump administration has done all the same actions as they accuse others of doing.

And you can tell how outraged their 'supporters' are.


Stop TFWs

We are being taken for a ride by greedy small business and stingy ad abusive big business that do not want to give back
Our youth are not getting job experience and the discipline that goes with it
Money is flowing out of the country
our unemployment rate is staying higher than it should be and
human rights is being violated and many horror stories spreading both here and worldwide about Canada

The politician that stops the greed and hatred for Canada gets my vote.


I presume that the village has another strike available. If not, they shouldn't be hunting whale again this year.


Considering how far left this current regime is, Canadians will be very open to another center right fiscally conservative government after Justin continues on his 19 billion deficit spending spree in 2017.

Harper lost, but left behind a strong and healthy opposition.  The campaign missteps sunk him, not the platform.  He underestimated the lefts ability to be divisive through fear mongering.


You are talking about average hedge funds like Carrick talks about average mutual funds.  The best performers in each are WAY above average.  PS.  Sorry, but I don't even know what "Billions" is.


Where does Don the lefty fascist come up with this rubbish? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton praised Trump for his record with minorities in NYC. Once Trump became a presidential candidate, leftists like Don, foaming at the mouth, scream "Racist!" On but wait. It was Hillary Clinton who praised former Klansman and US Senator from West Virginia as "her mentor." Like a Pavlovian dog, Don simply parrots what the frail and quite pathetic Hillary Clinton spouts.  Trump speaks the truth about what the Left has delivered to inner city African-Americans: poverty, failed schools, and broken families. Who has been running  large US cities for decades? The only thing left in the Democrat playbook is to scream "Racist!, Sexist! Homophobe!" Hillary Clinton is guilty of numerous felonies for her gross mismanagement of classified material. Her husband is a serial rapist. Their greed and corruption are unmatched. And all poor, sickly Hillary and deranged Don can do is scream "Racist."


Love how the old reform/alliance slugs are all over this.  Where were you when Yosemite Sam told Canadians that they were with the pedophiles if not in agreement with him?   Where were you when the lousy Bev Oda demanded a hotel where she could smoke and ordered a limo to take her there?  Lots of lousy politicos littered your time in office, yet not a peep from any of you types.

Read what someone who actually served with  Sajjan (his Brigadier General) said about him  and he wasn't even a racist like some of you are pretending you're not.   Little feet, little boys.


Of course the NDP will be against any privatization.. Are we missing something here?

To satisfy them start a National debate and then when they lose the next election it will be unanomous


Fall Kabib, you are a true ignorant uneducated dunce. I could care less what your Native relatives believe. I also blame Sheldon Jackson for dividing Alaska up and handed over to different denominations. None of those folks had the right to do what they did to Native people.


Who cares what the inclusion rate or the minimum holding period is when the vast majority of such flips are not reported at all, and the feds don't check!!   The CRA refuses to cross-check provincial data (property transfer taxes) or real estate board data (all deals) or non-CREA data (Property Guys, ComFree, etc..) against federal tax returns.   They would find 10s of thousands of taxable deals, going back to the onset of the boom/bubble...   It is a little bit amazing that the tax-and-spend government of Jr. is NOT (yet) going after that money!


" .. changed the definition of acceptable political discussion, cheapened the country’s civic life, coarsened a serious process and presented voters in the United States with an Election Day choice that they themselves believe is unappealing if not outright odious..."

Well - No ! It has always been thus - fuelled by electorate fruit fly attention spans, the IQs of amoebas and an eager media ever groping for cheap headlines. There is ultimately no surprise here - merely a Jerry Springer moment. Factual realities and situations carefully swept under the carpet. Let us look in the mirror - at democracy of the lowest common denominator. We are all guilty of what governance has become ...


Got a link.


You don't understand how logic and burdens of proof work.

Just because something may *possibly, remotely* be true, does not establish that it is. More importantly, the burden of establishing a claim is on the proponent to prove it, not the other party to disprove it.

Is it *possible* Trump Tower was wiretapped? Sure. But it's also *possible* the Russians infiltrated the 2016 election to hand Vulgar Talking Yam the presidency.


Many of our Social Science graduates should be happy for those jobs. Otherwise they would be unemployed.


People are gullible to think CONway has gone rogue with regards to Mitt. She's been his most disciplined advocate and isn't about to change now. This is orchestrated from within the tRump team and most likely by the Doncon himself. He's a product of reality TV and likes drama. There's a long list why he would want to do it but most likely it's for his appearance. CONway is the same who called tRump supporters "nasty" and "above their skeeze" when she was on the Cruz team.  Yep. CONway is sent out there as a distraction from following the money in the tRumpland conflicts of interests.  She did what tRump told her to do.  It's his stage. This is one of those trying to look good cons, with the Republican establishment. He's setting up the media, to be punked again.  Kind of a good cop/bad cop thing, where everyone is being played.  This isn't news. It's access Hollywood. Where's Billy Bush when we really need him?


No one who cares about Alaska voted for Trump. No one.


I think you're confusing the Baltic nations with the Balkan nations.  Take a look at where the Baltic nations are on a map and convince those nations NATO is really going to come to the rescue, that Europe would risk anything for them.  Are you ready to go and fight in the Baltics?


BCers sure hope that Wal-Mart -Home Depot, Safeway, Banks, Repair Mechanics, BCAA, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc... will all get into that magnificent opportunity. BCers will be happy shoppers!


The 9/11 fires were many times hotter than the Grenfell Tower blaze. The World Trade Towers were soaked with jet fuel, and burned hot enough to melt and warp steel, and disintegrate concrete. The Grenfell fire was mostly wood, paper, synthetic materials, and plastics which spread fast from one apartment to another but not as hot. It is like comparing a blast furnace to a BBQ,  The Grenfell Tower is now extremely unstable and may very well collapse under its own weight.


This show is going to drop like a rock.  Hatred, and evil lies and diatribe.  What's everyone hiding?


Trump Tax

The goal of Trump and the Republican leaders is to pull off a giant redistribution of over $1 trillion from the middle-class, working-class, and poor to the rich, who are already richer than ever.

They're selling this to the public with a false claim that the middle-class will benefit from their tax cut plan. It's a gigantic Trojan horse.

For most Americans, the proposed tax cuts are tiny and temporary. That's right – temporary.  They will shrink in just a few years.  And some middle class Americans will actually get a tax increase.

Watch it on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfHjzp0PxMI

This tax cut will explode the deficit. And when the bill comes due, politicians won't ask the wealthy to give back all their gains. They will once again come to the middle-class for concessions.

We better fight this before its too late. Contact your politicians loudly and often. Let them know you will not allow them to pull the wool over them once again.


In Alberta this will double down on the NDP wrecking crew currently telling investment capital to get lost. Good post; and I agree 100%.


Please please please stop with the Trump addiction. It seems the media can't help itself but to view every possible topic through their anti-Trump lenses.

I'm not defending Trump, just sick and tired of every article that can possibly be made to be about Trump getting into the papers.


"Thank you!" to everyone involved in this - what a great idea!
Do they need any volunteers to help out?


Typical. Screw everyone else. We got ours. Just because you secured funding to Alaska does not make it okay to vote for a bill that hurts the rest of the country.


BE very WARY when anyone starts to use Religion any religious denomination for their gain and/or on defense when cornered! It's all Shibai, smoke and screens for their gain!


In no way do I agree that Democrats haven't served working people, Lynn. You have a huge chip on your shoulder that blinds you when you conflate your friends with your enemies. Our federal government runs on consensus (when it runs at all) and not by diktat. By turning your back on Hillary Clinton, a hugely talented administrator and master of policy, and going into a pout over the unelectable Bernie Sanders, you and people like you elected Donald Trump.  I will remember that folly to my dying day, and I think you oh-so-picky people have ushered in a huge disaster. You should have learned after Ralph Nader, but you didn't learn a damn thing; and it is you who will pay most dearly.


In the spooky Conservative world, mommy always did tell Beaver that Mr. Jowls knows best.

Yes, of course it's always about the policies.   But Conservative policies are entirely obvious from the faces of the people who propose them: fleshy, comfortable, white.


Actually, I DID do the budget the game, and I found three things. ONE: the game was rigged to give the result the governor wanted (raid the PFD). TWO: I cut the maximum allowable of 30% EXCEPT from education (went untouched) form EVERYTHING and balanced the budget using savings. If that game allowed more than 30% budget cuts, I could have balanced the budget without using savings, which THREE: illustrates exactly what people are saying: STOP SPENDING MONEY!!!


Nuke 0bamacare and confirm DeVos, Lisa!

America is finally going in the right direction.


Not to worry, we're in good hands. Oops!


X 100 Tom. On a daily basis the editorial/commentary page was a mix of right/left/center opinions on the national as well as state level. The national news was aggregated from the still surviving national newspaper chains and it was also quite balanced. If the new owners can be half as fair and balanced as the ADN was under Ms. Rogoff's excellent direction we will still have an Alaskan newspaper we can be proud of. Those who complain about bias in one direction or another are those who would complain even if the content was lifted solely from slanted right wing bloviators. Thank you Alice Rogoff for giving the ADN years of your life. Lord knows you are wealthy enough to not have taken on the challenge for anything other than altruistic motives.

Anchorage is a beautiful city...try saying that to an Anchorage resident to their face. Drugs are the problem and the majority of residents I know don't do drugs regardless of class or color.

So when the ice was thicker 10000 years ago it melted slower, but after Al Gore invented global warming, climate change, or whatever name they can use to bilk the useful idiots out of money it melts faster now seeing as the ice sheet is thinner and melts like a normal hunk of ice. If this counts as tossing money at "research" please send me some in small unmarked bills.

"At long last, a forum where Trump cannot escape the truth"

Except only the people that already hate him will care. meh.


Except that we don't need to generate the btus derived from fossil fuels.  For example there is only about a 20 % efficiency from the fuels used to drive our vehicles.  Electric vehicles can be 60% and better.  At that rate solar electricity on homes and businesses could easily supply our transportation needs.


"Yes, they will build cheaper houses. They'll be smaller, and have less amenities"--How times have changed.  We've gone from the mocking of soulless suburban McMansions to lamenting that people will have to live in smaller homes that aren't packed with non-necessities like granite countertops, marble backsplashes, and hardwood flooring throughout the house.


I don't know you can disagree with this comment - he provided impartial proof. The median total family income for Vancouver in 2014 was $76,040. This is half of $150,000. $150,000 is even 50% above the median in Calgary for that year. Clearly a family income of $150,000 is doing well, even if some people are not comfortable considering themselves wealthy.

Spadaro needs some help.

I recommend a slow read of Fides et Ratio.

Truth cannot, as has been said by popes, contradict truth.

There is one coherent Truth.

Having a non-mathematician talking mindlessly and giddily (there are a number of these types of Jesuits aren't there?) about 2+2 NE 4 may make the easily led gush with emoji's, but his argument doesn't move the needle in any real sense.

He's a pope worshipper.


Looks like the left has declared all out civil war against the Republic.


The Globe is so repetitive, dishonest and simple-minded.  The Globe's owners need to let go of Tony Keller and hire a competent, intelligent and honest senior editor.

Funniest post on this article, and the misinformation here today is mind boggling.


"More boys kill themselves than girls, but the rate of suicide by girls is growing more quickly."  Until journalists can cite the male statistics without appending a statement that quickly redirects attention to females, the minimization of boys' issues will continue.

Boys' suicide rates run approximately 500-700% higher than the rate for girls.  When something is a 12% higher in one gender than another, we use words like "more".  But this ain't "more"; this is a whopping majority.  (Statistically, the lower variable can always "grow more quickly", but that doesn't change the fact it's overwhelming a male issue, not a female one).

It's time to call a spade a spade:  this is a mens/boys' epidemic.


Informal settlements toilets are unsanitary places, as are most public toilets. But the writer is confusing the consideration users ought to have for the next person, personal responsibility and pride and cleanliness with the fact there are no and can be no toilets in individual dwellings. Even in the home or workplace one gets annoyed when others who used the toilet, bathroom or any facility for that matter, before one has left it in a state.
Axolile has reason for concern about sanitation in informal settlements as a general service, but his anger is misplaced, and self-pitying so, about the state of individual toilets. Have you surveyed whether users try and keep it as clean as possible? Or don't they care? Probably the latter (if one goes by the state of many public toilets).  Axolile, have you heard of the informal toilet cleaners of Nairobi's slums? If not I suggest you read up on them before complaining about city-provided toilets here.


AK Regional clearly states they weren't anticipating the amount of patients seeking care for multiple health issues.

Does primary care take handle sore throats? Of course, but they also handle patients needing annuals exams, sports physicals, and patients with several co-morbidities.

A single provider clinic seeing 30 patients a day for sore throats and headaches? That is clearly Urgent Care.  Unless they truly believe it's feasible for a MD to do an exam, pap smear, answer all questions, and decide whether to stick with medications someone has been on for years or to prescribe different ones in 20mins.

Politics is seldom about what may be good for the country.   It's often what is good for the special interest that bribe the political structure with tons of money, future jobs.   You would have no trouble finding cheating, lying and graft in the Republican or Democratic party.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/9/obama-carbon-emissions-rule-halted-supreme-court/?page=all   Here's the 'legal' recap.   The administration was stopped, but we don't know the final result.  It was sent back to the lower courts.

"The 5-4 decision by the court puts the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation on hold while a lower appeals court hears states’ challenge to the rules. "

5-4 means 9 very smart, well educated people had a close disagreement on what was legal.

Your shallow acceptance of warming denial only shows your bias in the face of overwhelming evidence.  Tough guy (thank your for your service), but not qualified to judge scientific evidence.


1. You're contradicting yourself, you just admitted the fact that the KKK is predominantly a Democrat founded supremacist group and now you're trying to spin it the story that they have changed political parties??? Care to post sources baking your claim?
2. David Duke's endorsement of the DNC chair is recent dating back only a few months ago, and the source I provided proves this and you can easily Google the fact as well and find hundreds of sources with the same results. You can even look up David Dukes PUBLIC political history with showing him as a life long devout Democrat so how can you blatantly lie here in this thread and claim he's now a Republican because he possibly doesn't carry a card? LOL
3. Frankly I don't care whether the KKK members and Nazi's were Hillary, Obama, David Duke or Bill Cosby supporters. They need to be stripped of their US Citizenship and exiled to Mexico along with any other person in the US stating that Trump is not their US president.


Ideally...
For the interstate highway system it would be all federal funding.
For state highways it would be all state funding.
For city streets it would be all city funding.

But instead, we have this bad tendency to send a bunch of our taxpayers' money to the feds for laundering, and then have to go begging to them to get it back.


So, you're alright with racism and bigotry by American  Presidential candidates then.


The homeless won't want to be in more isolated places like Smith Falls, where there is likely no place to go and little public transportation, and any remaining retail tenants will not be interested in having the homeless hanging around.

Bill Armstrong found well over a Billion Barrels, truly a multi giant oil discovery on Alaska's North Slope called PIKKA!

Great News!  Caelus found lots of Oil at SMITH BAY a multi giant oil discovery!

Alaska credits have caused many more discoveries at Mustang, Placer, Kitchen Lights, Cosmopolitain, Sword, Kenai Loop Gas Field!

Alaska is on a COMEBACK with new discoveries and $100.00 barrel within 1 year!

Google; Armstrong PIKKA, Caelus oil discovery at SMITH BAY!

The ignorance of the Constitution runs deep in every political party these days.  Many of the citizens today who do know what it says would like it changed to become more politically correct.  Why am I not surprised.


ricknro, you might be interested in this little history lesson--from a source not universally known as friendly to Republicans: http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/10/politics/civil-rights-act-interesting-facts/.  A larger proportion of Congressional Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats.  It was a conservative Republican who played a key role in getting the bill passed.  It was the Virginia Democrat Chairman of the House Rules Committee who fought hard against the bill.  Makes you think differently about Republicans, doesn't it?


The President was standing up for America, which the un-American players were disrespecting.  Don't you have a problem with American citizens disrespecting their country?


Anyone who defends the wearing of this niqab is essentially defending the Wahhabi sect in Saudi Arabia which demands that women wear this (most other forms of Islam don't enforce this). The Wahhabi bureaucracy in Saudi Arabia continues to foster religious extremism (including supporting many of the 911 hijackers)--This sect only provided aid to Germany during the recent immigration crisis to build mosques--not for humanitarian aid--any symbolism promoting this disgusting sect--should not be allowed--PERIOD--don't give me this "blatant violation of religious freedom" nonsense


Poor poor Peggy.  You are truly in the minority here and Trump will trump the biased public service and the courts.  They are about to be taught a harsh lesson in democracy.  The elected always Trump the unelected


When you give your email address to a political party, they will upload into Facebook so they can target you and your "lookalikes". The Elections Act disallows campaign spending on US television stations but says nothing about US internet companies.

hahahahahaha. Nice humor piece!


Ah... didn't take her long to play the race card, did it?


Have you ever played chess?  This may not make much sense but stick with me a bit.  You know how sometimes it can feel pretty bad when you lose your queen?  It doesn't help when your opponent lords it over you or any spectator makes comments about it.  Chess is like politics in some ways.  It's about the long game.  If you focus on protecting your queen instead of how best to use or lose it your attention is divided and you set yourself up for a loss.  This EO from Trump is just like that.  His administration was so focused on not feeling bad it lost all sight of the long game.

Trump is the only one at the table who has control over the US's pieces of international "chess."  His conduct demonstrates he is only looking a move or two ahead.  I just hope he learns from this mistake.  But given his attitude towards the press, his disregard for disagreement even from his own appointees and his blind adulating supporters who can see no wrong I expect that hope is in vain.


According to an analysis of American National Election Studies data by a political scientist at Georgetown University’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, Catholic voters narrowly went for Democrat Hillary Clinton, 48 percent to 45 percent. Among Hispanic Catholics, Mrs. Clinton cleaned up handily, winning by more than 50 points.
