If the Fuhrer`s brown shirts don`t understand the rule, which probably everyone should actually believe by now, why are they changing it before they do understand it? Anyway, you keep that salute up. And wipe that brown off your nose.


"never thought I would see a White House supportive of Nazi propaganda"

It's intellectually wrong and repulsive to suggest that the White House is 'supporting Nazi propaganda'.

These are complex issues are require thoughtful, nuanced dialogue.

The white house should take a stronger line on these Nazis, but it doesn't make the white house 'supportive of Nazis'

Your comment - and the thrust of the article amount a crude form of dumb bigotry, only a couple of inches better than that of the dumb-ass Nazis themselves.

Just because one has a great deal of moral high ground, doesn't give one license to be a bigot, to spread lies, or to distort the truth.


To add a bit of levity here, if TSA screeners still do their jobs as well as they've done for the last two years, then sure, why NOT try to sneak a plastic gun on board?  In a well-publicized real world test, TSA screeners failed to detect over 90% of simulated guns, knives, bombs and explosive devices.  This was not at all a "sneaky" test amounting to a "trick question."  The faux guns and knives looked like common guns and knives.  The faux bombs and explosive devices looked for the most part like bundled sticks of dynamite with a fuse hanging out or round bombs that look like the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps insignia - items that anyone who watched Rocky and Bullwinkle or Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner cartoons as a kid will surely remember and recognize immediately.


Poor Notely, elected by nimrods in hickville.


An exceptionally incisive, on point column concerning our attempted tilt from the US to China by a 30 year plus career diplomat who was recently our ambassador to China and knows what he is talking about.

Trudeau, as he notes, is naive.  And I would add also intellectually shallow,  inexperienced and simply unsuited to negotiate any kind of trade or other international deal with seasoned, smart, focused pros such as are found among the Chinese rulers.  The Chinese will play Justin like Don Messer used to play the fiddle if we get into protracted, in depth negotiations with China.

Freeland,  McCallum and career diplomats will try to reign in Trudeau's dumber impulses and prevent  egregiously one sided deals great for China and punitive for Canada but there is much danger that Justin will over rule them to Canada's detriment.

Our left wing government and media's  animosity toward Trump and the US and increasing veneration of communist China are puzzling and naive and worrisome.


Good to hear you're back in Alaska. Perhaps you can share with the readers here what you have been up to since you left office, such as line of work, primary residence and where your son went to school before Steller/West. Why not East?


The state has a shameful history of exclusion if not outright mistreatment of Natives, Blacks, Japanese, Chinese, Jews, pretty much any non-WASP group. Way too many of the people born and raised here, by people born and raised here, have significant suspicion and prejudice towards "others", even today. They didn't learn any different, and they're still teaching their kids the same.  Thank goodness for the people moving here from other places who bring a diversity of races, ethnicities, religions, values and beliefs. Oregon is better for it.


Telescopes don't change "IQ levels" but the STEM education support for Hawaii's children will give them more choices in education and careers.  Our past is rooted in science but the future is science as well, and we will need the tools that the THINK Fund and Akamai Workforce can give us.  Like people science grows, new discoveries are made, life is built on what we learn and what the keiki will learn. It's up to us to make sure they have the education they will need so they can master the technology of the future.

I look forward to seeing this. I start to get an opportunity this evening.

However - if a major thesis is that the USA got into it through a series of "mistakes" - best check that.

Ho Chi Min had successfully led a struggle for national liberation from French colonialism.  The north and south ... after being divided ... were to have a referendum about union.  The USA leaders feared the south would vote for unification with the north ... so didn't allow it.

Meantime - in a majority Buddhist country, the South Vietnamese president was Catholic; one got promoted faster in the military if one was Catholic; USAID went preferentially to Catholics and Christians ... "better dead than red" remember.

A collaboration between the CIA and the Vatican that began in WWII continued ... to the detriment of so many around the world ...

Like so many national liberation movements during the Cold War ... usually mislabelled "communist" ... .

and like WWI - usually about imperialism.

Ah well, yet another example of cultural differences.  My grandchildren are my favorite topic, and I'll use any excuse to talk about 'em till your eyes glaze over.

But if you agreed with me I'd have to ask myself what I was doing wrong.

However, if you should see my oldest granddaughter on one of her visits north, please don't panic.  She's not a thug.


My brother-in-law had much the same story.  He drops his son off everyday at  school and wheels him to his class room  A certain person would always use the handicap spot to "just pop in" to the office and blocking him out.  He finally go tired of this and parked right behind the car and went into the classroom where he had volunteered for the day.


These urban renewal districts are nothing but sources of slush funds for our corrupt city manager and his cronies. We're long overdue to end them and run the tax receipts through the normal channels.

I invite anyone who differs with me on this to attend a few city council meetings and see for yourself how this sort of thing works. Poor George Brown has put in yeoman's duty trying to bring reason to the council, and even he has now given up in disgust.


The City and County has a million registered guns?  I believe its less than 10,000. But presumably the bad guys aren't the ones registering guns nor the ones turning them in - both in bremuda and England. So I still don't see your point. Very few Hawaii cops need guns - I say only SWAT and Vice should have them.


There is no historical, statistical or any other factual basis, for this prospective 112% property tax increase.


And I see you have no comeback for Knauff -v- Shaughnessy (1950).

Thank goodness for an excellent Dr., seems like this should be the norm but there was the dr. that called my son's 18 mo increasing pain in his hip a "muscle strain". He has had two hip replacements since.
 My wife went 3 or 4 years with extremely low vit D, repeat trips to many Drs failed to find it finally a P.A. actually took the necessary test, but by then her health was ruined, she used to go sheep hunting with me now too much pain. bruce


The problem is that you are giving a policing power to a glorified security officer.  They shouldn't even write tickets, call an officer of the law to write the ticket.  I would love to see the video on the dog shooting, I have my doubts on this security goon and the two other goons with him. The State of Hawaii is still a big pocket in this if someone decides to sue.  I bet that if there is video we will see that he should have pepper sprayed the dog but the security goon wanted to be all tadun tadun with his shiny toy.  If this goon missed a stray bullet could have killed an innocent bystander.


True.  Muslims are like every other religion in that there are varying degrees of conservatism through liberalism.

Walker didn't run as a conservative either, he ran as an independent....remember!
He listened to the people, over the party, and won the election because of it. Good riddance to the former 'conservative' Governor, Seanoco Parnillips !!


Like BHO?


Yup - this corpse is rotting from the head down. Elway has wasted a lot of draft picks. Overpaid a lot of guys, especially on defense. Failed to fix the offensive line. And hired a coach who clearly is not ready to be in charge.


I wish he allows the current DACA qualifiers a chance. But, I'm happy to see he's put it on Congress to do this right!


My girlfriend and I walked through the park Sunday June 12th 2017 and saw a momma bear. Pretty scary encounter but I hope they get the bears out safely.


Amazing that few politicians can decide whether or not a city is a sanctuary city or not. You would think this would require a referendum by the people. Something drastically wrong going on here.


So a woman is running an arena?
Big deal.

Actually no the ACA caused increases in premiums, reduced quality of insurance and even loss of insurance for some.

First , they must determine if he can aid in his own defense at the time of trial -- if he is competent to stand trial.   What happened at the time of the offense is a WHOLE other matter under the law.   If he is able to be "restored" to be able to stand trial, then they will deal with the issue of his mental state at the time of the incident.   That is the law.   If he has a severe mental disease or defect, he MIGHT, in OREGON be able to be deemed Guilty Except for Insanity (GEI) which will get him treatment (as you suggest).   Please see:  http://www.oregon.gov/prb/Pages/GEI-Adults.aspx

He would then be subject to the Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB) until they see fit to release him (if ever).
None of this can take place until he can help in his own defense (if that ever happens) and if he cannot ever do that, he will go directly to the PSRB.  This is what happened with Cheryl Kidd, the person who killed Officer Chris Kilcullen.
Hope this helps.


"That sound like “victim” to me, much to your chagrin."

Given that those involved in this initiative can't differentiate between the Allies and the Axis and think Treblinka was Peter Pan's companion it is ironic that they would employ the "Holocaust" false equivalence.
.
As they have chosen to reference fascist atrocities it's appropriate to make some comparisons.  The Monarchist's goal of Kingdom has much in common with a similar group's demand for Lebensraum.  The maniacal focus on blood quantum laws is eerily similar to völkisch, a quest for a racially pure state.
.
The propensity for certain local groups to denigrate as the lying press  those who have a differing view of Hawaiian history has a precursor with another entity which coined the term Lügenpresse.  The local habbit of decrying western influence is identical to  Joesph Goebbels use of Überfremdung to describe Jewish influence on society.  Calling dissident Hawaiians traitors to their people directly correlates with Volksverräter.
.
History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.


Trumper tantrum too


Because he has the testicles to do it. only with the approval of the Legislature which has the constitutional power to override his veto.


It's ridiculous to see anyone try to rationalize Trump's moronically immature attacks. It doesn't matter how partisan, stupidly liberal, and shallow Morning Joe is, or that these two hosts are typical coastal libs, it's beneath the office of President to get into these little spats, period. When people try to justify Trump's stupidity they sound like parents of a misbehaved teen, trying to cover up the objectively bad behavior in a stage of denial.  The reason it sounds that way is because Trump is basically a bratty adolescent in need of a good kick in the pants. So stop trying to rationalize or President's behavior!

You have a steep learning curve ahead of you, Mr. Summers, if you don't recognize how many men, women and children the US has killed around the world. Think Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria where the U.S. is involved up to its armpits,  supporting a proxy army of assorted terrorist elements against the legitimate Syrian government. To get a historical perspective, you would do well to start with William Blum's Killing Hope...


No, no, no, no, no! Very bad form on Perlmutter's part. We always need new people in Congress and now there will be a spillover effect in state house and senate races for the legislators who were vying to replace him.

Hawaii is fortunate to have physicians like Dr. Pang, protecting patients from unscrupulous physicians interested in monetary gains by promoting physician assisted suicide and not the welfare of their patients.  Now with hospice, palliative care, we do not need to destroy the relationship of trust between physician and patient.  Also, we need to consider the legacy for our teens by legitimizing or legalizing suicide.


I am tired of building supply companies working hand in hand with borough assemblies to tell us what kind of lumber we must use, how warm our rooms must be at foot level and at head level.  Small homes are the answer to the growing population....if we are to follow the lead of republicans and outlaw contraception and abortion, then there has to be a solution for single moms, etc.  When did we get off on the tangent that 2 people need a 3,000 sq ft home?

I paid off my Chevy Avalanche car loan two years early so I spent $24.99 for my online Equifax FICO score to see how high my credit rating had gone.
It had dropped from 803 to mid-700's...???
The Equifax agent stated that this was due to my personal line of credit (prime plus 2%) being too close to the max $15,000 and that AmEx had "cancelled" my card.
I informed her that it had not been cancelled but I had simply switched cards from a personal card to the Small Business Gold card (with an introductory 30,000 bonus air miles reward and 1.5 points for each dollar spent as well as a CRA deduction for the annual membership fees) and that I had borrowed on my super low rate LoC to fill the allowable contributions to my RRSP that year.
I would never invest in a business model as flawed as the credit rating agencies.


If Murkowski were a toady of her party, she would not have denounced Trump.


All the S-A's Breaking News does is sound alarms about bad weather and disasters nowhere near Hawaii.


I can only say that I was shocked when, after 20 years of working (starting at age 28, when I finished my professional degree and had debts to pay) and paying double contributions because I was self-employed, I did not reach the maximum CPP benefit when I developed a major illness and had to go on disability.  While I appreciate that we have these programs, I wonder why we have programs that sew divisions between "classes."  No system is perfect but we needn't make things deliberately unfair!


Curious, no mention at all of why this accident occurred in the first place.

I wonder how much over the speed limit, or over the suggested speed on the curve, the driver was doing at the time?


I don't like Trump as you know, but I'm not comparing him to Jim Jones.  My friend Gary went too far.

That being said, there are many things that would scare the heck out of me if I allowed myself to pick the worst of all possible outcomes.   It's not hard to draw links between loosely related people/events with that fall in love with conspiracy theory.

The ill Glen Beck loved to draw lines., often wildly filling his show's stage.   So did Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind" portraying schizphrenic John Nash.   I was a bit surprised the more people didn't see the Beck/Nash comparison.   Yet both men had very succesfull careers at points of their life.

I'm not willing to let Trump off the hook by implying mental illness.   He's a big boy,  he can take full responsibility for his statements.  (Often taken out of context, such as the event with the crying baby, he was goofin' on that one),


Well yah but: The Green Hair society doesn’t say that apostates must die. The Stetson wearers in Toronto guild doesn’t advocate making alternate lifestyle people go bungee jumping without the bungee.

Someone please copy, paste, and save this prediction.  That way, we can remind certain folks just how wrong their predictions were after the 2018 mid-terms.  Can't wait.


I actually think Midtown is not the future, and that it lies further south.  The push has always been south.  The title companies, banks, and retailers largely left downtown several decades ago.  Look at how Dimond Abbott has filled in now, and then go sought to O'Malley/ Old Seward.  The money, the banks, the retailers, the restaurants, the wealth is all there or heading out there, until they hit the bottleneck (Potter's Marsh and the Mud.)


Just curious, how many people over the past 5 years had to be rescued or were seriously injured solely due to their inexperience? No matter how hard you try you just can't fix stupid! While I support the free market initiative, I think in the end they will lose revenue as this may very well drive visitors away...


When it comes to different philosophies around market timing, first of all, I think ALL investors are market timers to one degree or another.  Secondly, I think it is healthy for the market to have many different points of view - if all investors think exactly the same, then that wouldn't make for a very good market.  Think about it this way - on EVERY single trade, there is a buyer who thinks that the stock will go up and a seller who thinks that the stock will go down.

One money manager who said something that gave ME some pause to consider, is: "If a stock you own climbs to a price that you would no longer be interested in buying it - maybe it's time to think about selling it".  Another adage is that "nobody has ever gone bankrupt by realizing profits" (in reference to selling a stock in which they have a big gain).

Nice to see another country reject the faux populist warmongering of Trumpty Dumpty.  It may turn out that Trumpty will, in fact, help to entrench the liberal world order simply by virtue of putting such an obnoxious face on the alternative.

I find no difficulty in answering your question or replying to what you said.  Your allegation that I evaded what you said is false.  But I note that you again evaded a fair question, i.e., "If you think Jesus did not intend to be taken literally on divorce, what do you think he intended to tell us, and why do you think he intended to say THAT rather than what he actually said?

Now, I'll respond to your remarks, above: You compare Jesus's obvious figurative saying "If thine eye offend thee"  ---- you DO take that figuratively, don't you?  --- with his commandment not to divorce except for adultery.  They are as different as night and day.  After Jesus told the Pharisees that divorce was permitted only for adultery, the Pharisees (like you) did not accept his answer. and they asked him: "Why then did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"

It's sad that the only people who are fighting to preserve this country are natives. They are the ones who notice the Canadian governments goal to  increase the population to 63.5 million people by 2063 and what that will do to the landscape. Slowly developers are chipping away at our country piece by piece. Native Canadians are working to keep beauty of our wilderness just as it is. There is nothing wrong with that.


I do not find it funny, personally speaking.

No one is forcing people to buy products. But if government forces stopping it, that is called a Nanny State and quite frankly, they need to myob, unless it is criminal things that impact others who are not involved around them. Besides things like meth labs, people on welfare should have that money stopped if they test positive for illicit drugs, after all, innocent people, taxpayers, are paying them so we are involved. If a child is obese, and taxpayers pay for their foods, that needs to be stopped-the tax support, including health care-UNLESS that child is on steroids for a major health issue, causing this weight gain.

*Like that.

Just finishing up the Colorado Springs Seminar. Very enlightening! Many excellent speakers.. Senators, Governors, football star, Rehab advocates, authors, etc! Nothing said about supporting Planned Parenthood or businesses providing Maternity Leave which are very important to and for women. They go right along with equality in the workplace. The talks on bringing the power back to the family, neighborhood, town and people were moving. Our Government is a conduit to but not the answer to FREEDOM. Supporting free enterprise and business gives the unemployed and downtrodden the chance and choice to find work and pride of giving to society.


Finally a story with a happy ending.


The column was a  sloppy opinion piece. The 'research' consists of quoting raw stats that everyone in Quebec is familiar with -- the so-called volunteer rate. Then, he ties volunteering to a false police headcount on one night of one snowstorm. Also, he makes no reference to the 400-year-old society that modern Quebec inherited- its institutions and culture; the culture of France, where it comes from, etc. etc.  His "stat" about the two-bill restaurant culture is a tourist anecdote, and I've never seen it (after 30 years of living in Quebec); probably 90% of all Quebec eateries wouldn't know what he's talking about, as 90% of Quebec eaters will tell you. As for the 'underground'  economy,  it is officially denounced in the platforms of every major  Que. political party, and denounced at election time, so they didn't need Potter to remind them. Finally, go to any province in Canada and try to find a home renovator who does not offer a 'cash' price vs a 'real' price.

Breathtaking how you can switch from saying that Trump had no evidence on which he based his decision, to ignoring a point raised by the evidence I provided, to actually citing that same evidence without missing a beat. That's impressive arguing!

The point I've raised throughout this thread is that accepting transgender people into the military may not be cost-effective. The numbers of extra transgender recruits one can draw on are small, whereas the cost per recruit is much larger compared to a non-transgender person. The US military isn't a charity. It's not an agency for people to sign up and get a free gender change.

What you describe as "pandering to his base," a more neutral person might describe as making a decision that tens of millions of Americans are very comfortable with.

I remain of the opinion that the US military will one day accept transgender recruits. It may take a little longer under Trump, but it's surely coming.

"The 6-year graduation rate for first-time, full-time undergraduate students who began seeking a bachelor's degree at a 4-year degree-granting institution in fall 2009 was 59 percent. That is, 59 percent had completed a bachelor's degree by 2015 at the same institution where they started in 2009.

"banishment" has a minimal affect on the problem at hand. Villagers have few, if any, tools to fight illegal substance activities in their villages. What these villagers are doing is to protect their own from deadly illegal substances. I think it will some affect on people who live in the villages who chose to conduct illegal activities which cause death. "Banishment"is just moving the problem from one area to another.
I think what needs to happen is to have a program during a children's early years in school explaining the affects of illegal drug use and the effect it has on one's future and life. People need to know there is help for addicts but the desire to quit has to come from the addicts themselves. You can't force anyone to quit but you can let them know there is help if they want to quit.
This is not a "local" problem" but a statewide and nationwide problem.

Bunk


He eventually admitted he doesn't actually know, and neither does Trump, wasting some very expensive time.


Where on earth do you get the idea that I don't believe this guy entered the country when Obama was president? Where did I even hint at that? Didn't you read what I wrote?

I do note that while he came here in 2010, he didn't dare carry out this attack while Obama was president. Too afraid. Once the bumbling Trump took office, it's open season for terrorists because they know he's incompetent.

Any patriotic American, at this point, must be a Trump hater. It's the only patriotic and responsible place to be right now. Trump is an existential danger to our Republic.


There are some complex issues going on with that land, including that it was reservation land initially, was illegally taken at one point, and after fighting to get it back for decades, the tribe won a court case.  However, they were not awarded the land back, instead they were paid for it.   But the Indians have never accepted the money, it stays in the account into which it was paid, and they want the land back.

I don't care what the risk is.   It's not the Indians' problem, or if there was justice, it wouldn't be.   Notification to the tribe that was required to run that pipeline half a mile away from the reservation before they began work, notification that didn't happen.

They don't teach the Wales dialect in the classes and immersion programs, yet I was learning what I could and felt grief that I still couldn't communicate with my gram. She encourages me to learn any dialect though because I think we have similar language sounds and structures like you mentioned, just said a little differently. We can do something. I feel a calling to somehow support our language teachers and our language speakers (sometimes speakers don't know how to teach, but we can help them share what they can). This drive to learn the language is spiritual. Good luck on your language journey. You are not alone.


Right, we pay him too much money to qualify.


Broke my heart knowing what they did to those dogs in Vietnam.  Maybe one of the better Clinton administration signings was to know that the dogs would no longer be left behind. So Iraq and Afghanistan didn't desert them the way that they had in Vietnam.  So many things went wrong with that war. :(

I always valued the companionship and protection from my animal family. We've raised & trained dogs many generations in my family, for all types of roles.  Support to retrieve necessary items for the disabled. Home protection to keep out trespassers or home invaders. Herders to protect the cattle and believe it or not babies. So many dogs had so many roles in our family I cannot imagine leaving behind an animal who was bent on protecting and saving it's human teams.

I know that everyone puts a higher value on human life. Personally, I'd rather see my human enemy die than to see my furry friend go down.  If given the option of saving a "corrupt" person or a dog.  I choose the dog.


Dumping biologic raw sewage in the St Lawrence is a lot different than the potential for polluting with dilbit/oil the freshwater watersheds of Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec that supply drinking water for 80 million people. There is a reason why the existing "East" line is only natural gas and why the oil/dilbit (Enbridge) line travels south of Chicago {largely avoiding the Great Lakes watershed) to get to Sarnia Ontario.

Built in the early 60s for the National Oil Policy to subsidize Albeta oil,  a surprising consideration for waterways existed then, which appears mostly absent (Ontario) in today's dumbed down world. One would think that the Kalamazoo and Saskatchewan river spills would be considered warnings.


Good evening Eric. Just so you know, and since you brought it up, my IQ has been measured in the above average range. I do not have a collage degree however. I am one of those people who grew up in the ghetto, I have spent a lifetime educating myself. I am also in the above average income bracket due to my own hard work. I read a verity of sources, I look beyond words and judge actions. I refuse to be used by the politically elitist. I will go beyond what you just said about the RNC and say it is our entire political system that has stopped doing the peoples business and instead preach hatred for everyone who dares to question them. I do find it despicable that HRC well be rewarded for her past corruption with votes from loyal dem. voters. Face it Eric, if there was even a hint of the amount of corruption around a repub. you, (and other dems.) would find no problem condemning them. Trump is a result of the dem. party, of the hate filled, insulting labels thrown at all who disagree.


According to 2010 BLS data, the following jobs contain 1 percent or less female workers: boilermakers, brick masonry, stonemasonry, septic tank servicing, sewer pipe cleaners and trash collectors.  Has any feminist addressed ever addressed these inequalities?


The whining of highly privileged women, while others in places like Saudi Arabia and Korea, live under harsh (real) discrimination, is a poor reflection.  They should be embarrassed.


Tesa Ann: Of course I disagree with you. You have a complicated, sometimes beautiful, comfortable and meaningful scaffold to build your life around. But there is no evidence for any of it. Its a delusion. I have the advantage of not needing the fiction.


No, it's not OK. It's an obvious payback for services rendered, but that's part of the deal in a capitalist society. You expect to make more money after your job is done than before.
At least Obama released his taxes so we knew when he was making decisions that involved conflicts of interest. We can only guess with Trump, but all signs are he is far, far more corrupt than any president in our lifetimes, and that includes Nixon & Johnson.


It was reported that the guy is a pilot for United Express..Can you imagine flying with the guy?

It was his publisher who canceled his book. It was CPAC who uninvited him to their conference. It was Breitbart who fired him. It was conservatives who savaged him. And he didn't admit he's against pedophilia; he just redefined the word to allow him to abuse boys as soon as they're sexually "mature". From the ashes will come nothing but fertilizer. That's what ashes are good for.


Jeez I told you he was an id io t.  Republicans been saying they had a better plan then Obama's for the past 7 years and this is the best they got?  Give me a F ing break!


The convention couldn't get "Too Far Away" Palin so settled on Sullivan.  Danny had a chance to game the convention for what little good could come of it and avoid the toxic side effects.  Nope, he is doubling down.  Sound familiar?  This way even if he throws his convention clothes away the sludge from it will still stick.  Let the meltdown begin!


Gave up on the card a long time ago. The value of the points kept going down. So many businesses want you to carry their plastic loyalty card taking this one out of my wallet was an easy decision (as others have noted).


Harper did nothing for 10 years nor did the Liberals the previous 9 years. Canada is transitioning its energy mix production and exports - however, a complete transformation will not happen over night and Rachel Notley is correct that we (Canada) needs royalties from fossil fuels to finance the transition to  a cleaner fuel production scheme.
In the meantime the responsible thing to do is get the highest value for our product that gives all governments (Federal, Provincial and yes municipal) the best bang for the buck that also minimizes environment degradation.
In this context - oil is going to find it's way to market one way or another. This means whether it is by existing and new pipelines or rail - its going to get there somehow. The argument to refine bitumen in Alberta for the "value added" proposition does not wash because the ROI is at least 30 years out. We are talking about not growing production past 2030... Pipelines are the only safe option. Lest we go by rail....


Wardair flights from Vancouver to Hawaii were epic.


I'm not sure how you think that benefits me. What if we all did that, what if we all decided we're not going to work because what we're doing is altruistic? What happens then?


How many non-Muslims fear for safety ?

How many non-Muslim women fear to walk in some parts of European cities because of the clothes they wear ?


I'm not at all worried about Russia stealing these type of emails. If politicians don't want their dirty laundry aired, keep your clothes clean!

I am worried about them hacking into classified computers though. Serious damage can be done with their hands in there. Another reason why Hillary should have been held accountable for her private server/email debacle.


People need to quit crying FAKE NEWS in inappropriate situations.  Are you saying this story is false and made-up?


No argument regarding the number of "tans-gendered" individuals.....I agree it's likely a very, very small percentage.  I'm not interested in convincing anyone "to be or not to be" transgendered, homosexual or heterosexual.

 However, I'm not always convinced most people are rational thinking.  For example, I can't imagine how a rational thinking individual could believe Donald Trump as President would benefit our country.  Hopefully, you're right and there are enough "American households...populated by rational thinking....folks that he won't be elected.  We'll see..................


The USA economy is doing amazing under Trump! The country is basically at FULL employment.  Hundreds of companies are planning to expand and build in the USA because of Trump cutting regulations and the insane tax rates.

I wonder who is living in the alt reality?


So we're going to hire someone who has proven that he can drive up the cost of Oahu's rail project?


Many supporters of m-103 answer criticism by pointing to the idea that motions are non binding. Perhaps that notion facilitates overlooking the authoritarian language in 103.  "The government should recognize the need [an imperative] to quell [forcibly suppress] ... hate and fear [thoughts and emotions]." If that is what you want the government to do at least be honest about it.


If you're not hiring people that are smarter than you, then you are doing it wrong.


You can't fix it if you don't dialogue with the millennials.  They know what's wrong and they probably know how to fix it. The problem comes when the Church doesn't like the solutions and is in fact, doubling down on the problems.


A sales tax IS REGRESSIVE .  Big deal, the Social Security Tax is the most Regressive of all.  Those making $118,500 pay 12.4 percent but those making more pay less.  It is a poor man's tax.  A person earning $1,185,000 pays only 1.24 percent and a person making $10,185,000 pays a measly 0.124 percent.  The poor getting the screws is a way of life in America.


Why? Because they hire refugees?


XM, and we all know what happens to Rabid Animals..............THEY ARE SHOT....................


. . . none of which warranted execution.  Man, we are a mean and hateful society.


Then, -and I want you to be crystal clear here, Slick- is that it is alright to choose what laws you decide to obey and what laws you don't consider worthy of being followed. If you and others believe this, then why should I obey any laws that I find "objectionable" like paying income taxes or carrying a hidden loaded handgun, to give an outrageous example. Is that what you are saying here?


Oh I get it! Sarcasm might be a lost art, unrecognizable by many.


As a practicing physician I find several things about this situation  to be questionable. The regulations about tramadol changed almost 2 years ago. To be prescribing it and not to be aware of this is an error of exceptional proportions. It suggests that the prescriber is not adequately familiar with the medication. Tramadol is not a risk free medication. It has been known to cause seizures and induce delirium. Using it to treat opiate withdrawal is not medically supportable with the current information base. It is not approved for this purpose and there are no studies of adequate quality to justify its use in this way.
Additionally, having a provider with no DEA certification prescribing medications for the relief of  substance withdrawal is not acceptable practice. The medications used to treat alcohol withdrawal, in particular,  have ALWAYS required it.
More investigation needs to be done regarding the safety, validity and effectiveness  of the treatment that these clinics provide.


Agreed! this individual has no idea what she is talking about, definitely in over her head here!!

"When Fusion approached Elias, it had already been doing research work on Trump for a client during the GOP primary"

Like who?

Get over it, two men took to the ring and one of them knocked the stuffing out of the other. It would be interesting to hear what Trump would have said if he had of been in, Justin's shoes.


I agree.  As part of that, all pilot and co-pilot communications (personal and work) should be scrutinized by people who understand how coded messaging works.   Analyze the heck out of everything.

Air Canada seems to have a disproportionate number of "weird" events over the past few years.   Smoke in the cabin, cockpit, near misses, etc. etc.   There is something "funny" going on.   Would not touch their stock with a ten foot barge pole.


There's nothing suspicious about Trump meeting with Putin without any other U.S. officials in attendance.  Just like there was nothing suspicious about Jared Kushner meeting with the Russians to set up a back channel using Russian communications equipment.  I'm also not at all suspicious when police body cams malfunction right before someone gets beaten to a pulp.


Indeed. I decided to buy the sunday independent recently to have a look if anything has improved over the years. Nope , much worse and those spelling and grammatical errors are still there , apart from the fact that the journalism is gutter quality. There is no newspaper in SA today that one can call quality. Rather read The Guardian and The New York times.


Ugh.  Shame on you complaining non Christians. We know a fireman who is beyond exhaustion. Be thankful you have shelter and it's not in flames. My friends endured 3 days w/0 power, phones, blockages. We still have power lines down. My count is 4 days unless you lost power on Tuesday before the storm hit. Go offer help and something warm to those working in this!  We are in Santa Clara...... It's bad here too but we are thankful.


Anyone who has been to training on the legal requirements regarding classified information knows that 1) intent is irrelevant; 2) actual harm is not required

The rest of  your points are irrelevant to the situation and unproven speculation at best.

Hillary got a pass.  Petreus got a slap on the wrist.   Abedin is not as well-beloved or powerful as either of them.   Letting her husband have access to Top Secret classified material on 'their' laptop is a crime.

"1,818 emails were found containing classified information on the private server; 22 of those were classified as Top Secret."

None of the above has even a scintilla of linkage to "white-supremacism except in your mind.


Higher than expected turnout, just how high were the voters that turned out? Light up a phatty for freedom. Trumpeters don't like phatty's, libs doobie dobbie do.


I'm sure that it will get to be even more popular than curling.


This misleading article refuses to die. Here is why this is bad advice:
1. Both defroster and heater take time to start working. If you start driving right away you will get foggy windows and no hands-free way to clear until the car warms up.
2. Cold oil does not lubricate as well, it is bad idea to apply load (start driving) the car until fluids had a chance to flow. Synthetic oil, plug-in oil pan heaters, heated garage and so on help with this. Unless you have one of these, wait a minute or so before you start to drive.
3. For cars sitting outside you should scrape ice from windows and clear the snow. There is no reason not to start the car while you are doing this.


Not sure how oil companies are being protected, but as for the rest, I'd gladly see them all lose whatever regulatory protection they need to survive, the small family farm too.  If a business cannot stand on its own merits, it's not a business.  Why should the consumer have to pay an increased economic rent?  And the cronyism this encourages as our political class tries to pick, and then protect winners (Bombardier anyone?)  is not good for the health of our over all civil society.


Disgusting


Hate doesn't encompass only white people, has everyone forgotten Rwanda, the Armenian genocide, Japan on China etc. etc there are zealots on every side. If you want to hate it's your prerogative you'll always find someone who agrees with you, it's not a white thing although it's easier to blame the white man for transgressions.


According to my (former) PCP (Primary Care Provider) at the VA opioid pain medication is for cancer patients only.  When I argued with her, she put a long note into my file that identified me as a drug seeker.  That's why I don't go to the VA anymore; the VA just fills my opioid pain medication prescription (from an outside doctor that the VA pays for).


That's pretty amazing.


And Steve, I did like your letter, there are too few recorded instances of police helping others in their line of work. There are many, but we get inundated with racially motivated justice, like the Fairbanks Four, or the militarized police protecting the NDPL against Native protesters, lying about the Natives in order to justify the harsh justice dispensed for Natives


And how does that make you feel?

Why do you think that?

How did you come to consider this?

Do you feel that you’re not being taken seriously?

Some years ago the result of a study in Israel was written up. Two groups of survivors of the Holocaust were randomly selected. Half were given talk therapy, half were given nothing from mind mavens at all.

After thirty years one group measured appreciably better in all metrics of happiness, health, and adjustment - the group that were given nothing at all.

I thought while the topic of admitting to error was on the table, that was worth noting.


Early voting probably played a huge role in this.  There are reports that between 50 and 70% of the ballots were cast before this happened.  Montana is a pretty reliably red state, so a good number of votes were probably already cast for the R.


What "change" do you refer to?  There have been pages and pages written about how foreign policy hasn't change a whit under Trudeau.

E.g., immigration and trade policies are literally exactly the same


IRT "Keep Malaekahana off Koolau Loa plan"  The Utah investors are not interested in what the adjacent communities think.  Open space and agricultural lands are worth preserving.  All of the communities are connected by the old tired transportation infrastructure along Koolauloa designed for long long ago.  The window for lets have a new town has closed.


"Can we all get along?" -- Rodney King


Thank U for showcasing your  candle power (or lack thereof) as it concerns simple economics 101.  No serious person believes that the lives of the poor are improved by wealth being transferred to the rich and then “trickling down” to the poor.  There simply is no economic argument that says that. Wealth has to first be created  before you can redistribute it. The way to help the poor is to maximize our freedom to create and keep value through a free market economy. Period!

If your marginal tax rate is 90% you are going to find ways to keep the governments hands off of your money thru anyone of a zillion ways 1 of which is to stop working rather than having 90% of the next dollar stolen from you.  At 39.5% you are likely to just pay the taxes. The accumulation of capital does no good, people need the ability to deploy that capital so that it creates value for consumers, and to do that efficiently U need low taxes and fewer regulatory barriers to entry.  Read some Hayek for Gods sake

We'll just have to agree to disagree I think. This is the NFL. If you can't make the plays you are going to get your butts handed to you. Any player that gives up, no matter the reason, is a cancer. Who wants to ever be a fan of players that give up? Not me. This team was falling apart last year under Kubiak. It shows me that the veterans are cashing checks and not concerned about team anymore.

Yes, Layla, the communist government of China exerts influence and often effective control over not just Chinese publications and electronic media abroad but also over other Chinese controlled businesses and even social organizations, all with the objective of taking advantage - in trade, investment, immigration and political and social power - of the schmucks who are naive or greedy enough to let them do so.

Currently, the biggest concerns and buyers' remorse abut these one sided situations are voiced in Australia, the US and Germany but it seems not a single country involved in trade deals with China is on record as claiming they are happy with the fairness of said deals.

One of my most disturbing visuals these days is that of PM Trudeau sitting across from the Chinese leadership in about 4 years to complete negotiations on a free trade deal between China and Canada.

It resembles in my mind Bambi versus Godzilla.   (You can, I'm sure, which of the two parties is Bambi.)


If by "political reasons", you mean climate change, then yes, Obama did indeed deny Keystone XL for the right reasons, as well he should have.

It's interesting that a Globe editorial on pipelines does not even mention the words "climate change" anywhere in it, as if these two things are not connected. The Globe asserts that production from the oil sands is going to rise to 2030, so we supposedly need more pipelines, but somehow Canada's emissions are supposed to fall, dramatically, over that same period.

About an hour before your remark here, Jay Edward correctly observed:
“And Jesus “modified the law” by overruling Moses on divorce and remarriage.“
This change is not incompatible with God’s immutability. God transcends time and space. What God does in one time cannot be determined by what God did in another time; they are both part of a single act that may look contradictory to us.


"The fact that SPS is being forced to compete and innovate to gain and retain students—and making many families happy in the process—proves why public education, even if taxpayers are paying for it, should act and be treated as though they are companies in the private sector."

While your partisan paper reflects how deep you're willing to dig JetRX...... it ignores that the states that are the poorest, most destitute and that receive the largest federal welfare checks are indeed staunch low-tax RED states.

The issues is "Should adults have the right to enter into contracts with a school that requests certain conduct in line with the social standards of the school?" The rule is universal with one exception: anyone is free to agree or leave . The actions of the LGBT justice warriors is an attack on free choice, as they try to force their own biased view  on others. Would LGBT interveners  go after Muslim Islamic schools that actually teach homosexuals should be killed because they offend Allah (as happened in Orlando)? No certainly not. That would be called Islamophobic, even by the LGBT community.  Christians, though, are easy targets. This enters the realm of persecution rather than equal rights.


Well, I disagree.  Lithia Motors enjoys obvious economies of scale that local dealers have a hard time competing with - Lithia is in effect a wholesaler selling to the public.  Lithia can easily adjust operations to accommodate an additional 2.5% cost, and still enjoy those economies of scale profitably.  Once again, those interstate operators will spread the cost thinly among neighboring states.

I don't think Lithia will "pull up stakes" in Oregon, why would they?  They are acting like spoiled brats, hoping to influence voters with a phony sob story, like the old soap "Queen for a day" - the contestant telling the saddest sob story of her hard life wins the washer-drier combo.

"Do you truly believe our tax, fiscal, and regulatory structure are consistent with the principals of distributism and subsidiarity?"

For instance, our current taxes on capital gains are far below than the 28% Reagan raised them to. And remember that republicans voted against almost $300 billion in tax cuts back in 2009. You need to get facts and stop repeating what you hear from politicians and pundits.

Almost every major city in the US has adopted this revenue method with great success.  We surely can come up with some version of this that fits Hawaii standards without summarily scrapping it!  Many cities have grappled with this issue without continually submitting to "greedy, self-seeking, tax and spend politicians" that are so eager to take our money.  It is only fair that business be more involved in helping to pay for our expenses in a win-win situation.


It is all borrowed money any way. Does it really matter which jurisdiction signs the loan application?

I detect a number of potentially "distraught" individuals commenting on this story.


Only 5 US Presidents have ever lost the popular vote.

1824 - John Quincy Adams (lost by a margin of 38,221 votes)
1888 - Benjamin Harrson (lost by a margin of 94,530 votes)
1876 - Rutherford B. Hayes (lost by a margin of 252,666 votes)
2000 - George W. Bush (lost by a margin of 543,816 votes
2016 - Donald J. Trump (lost by a margin of 2,864,974 votes)

The Donald is by far the biggest loser in US history, however.

In fact, he's more than 5 times the loser that Dubya was !

Betcha that he also resigns the Presidency before he can be impeached just like Tricky Dick did in 1974.


We haven't heard the terms for the special US tariff on Keystone yet.


If you believe that any credible solution can be realized without rescinding "Money == Speech," then you have failed to learn the manifest lessons taught by the last four decades of wild dysfunctional extremes in US policy outcome as corporate spectres fight for control of the soul of government and then abuse it, and us, and the world. Over and over and over again. To steal oil. To fill prisons. To liquidate prosperity and income equity. To do dark immoral thing abroad in collusion with the enemies of mankind; misogynists, extremists, warlords, tyrants, usurpers of liberal democracy. It's pretty bad.


It's embarrassing that the potus is (rightfully) placed in the same category as putin and erdogan.   Under trump, our country will cede our current position as leaders of the free world.   The problem is that trump seems to see little value in human rights unless it is profitable.   This is why he cozied up to the saudis and was cool to the europeans.


Hanabusa, people are more likely to ask "how do you pronounce Inouye?" because I doubt that only a few outside Hawaii know who he was. Hawaii liberals must be so very proud of themselves today, because they can't agree on whether to keep Big Rail going -- or how to pay for it -- but they can agree on renaming the airport. Seriously? Is that the best you can do this legislative session??

Correlation doesn't prove causality, but ratings were down yesterday.  And they were down last year.  Maybe fans are not so hot on protests happening on the sideline.  Keep this up and it will hit the players in the wallets as teams begin to have shrinking caps.  That will send a message to the players. In the off season, the NFL announces the cap is actually going down, not up.


In my opinion, the TFW program should be vastly reduced in scope ro what it was when the Liberals first introduced it many years ago. It should be really short term admission of people who are really needed. There should be far more onus on businesses operating in Canada to hire Canadians whever possible with a far higher theshold of proof required that they cannot do so before TFWs are permitted to be brought in. It should also once again be the responsibility of companies to train their own people, not get training for free from the Canadian or overseas education systems.

What a nightmare for those of us born c. late 40's to late 50's ... black or white (the two colours cited being more or less valid at the time of the generation's formative years - whereas more flavours, again generally speaking, are around now).  All we believed in, some of us fought for ... trashed in favour of a new form of racism.  I'm glad my black friend/mentor, who grew up black in Chicago in the 40/50's, is not around to see how his adopted country of Canada/Ontario turned out.  He would be horrified, as we both were as we watched this develop.  This will not have a happy ending for anyone, despite all the squishy good intentions.


would you like a cookie Scott?


As the sitting President, of course he will.  And the electoral college will favor his re-election.  Prior to that, however, you are aware the Dems are going to lose MORE seats in 2018 in the House & Senate yes?


Don't get mad, get even.  I encourage the president to get active in supporting the primary challengers to senators Jeff Flake and Dan Heller.  When a few RINOs get bounced out on their butts maybe the remaining senators will wake up and do their job.  This time around I will be supporting primary challengers or 3rd party candidates.

Have you ever been in an accident?  She could have been in shock and didn't think about what to do.  She might not own a cell phone, not everyone does.  At least she called 911 when she got home and reported the accident.  I'm sure the police investigation will work through all of the questions you have and will assess the correct remedies for her actions following the accident.
As for the baby out at 1:55am, who knows?  Maybe she was coming home from work, a family member's house, a friend's house, it really doesn't matter what she was doing out with her baby at 1:55am.

You profess an unwavering belief in superstition here but you make no attempt to answer the question that I presented to you... care to try again?


Do you have a rebuttal or are you just attacking the message?

Post some facts to back up that he lies. You are not Trump and people are not going to believe you just because you say so.


You can't quota that. It'll violate some kind of free-association clause of some amendment of the Constitution. It'll probably also violate some kind of freedom-of-movement thing even though I can't for the moment think of exactly what in the Constitution guarantees free movement.


Hudak's calculations still look as witless as before. I just think it's a shame that Wynne ended up with an undeserved majority.


I'd cut them more if their priority continues to be chasing farmers and small business owners rather than Billionaires with off shore accounts.  If the CRA are short of staff why don't they go after the big fish and not the small ones, unless, of course, they have had their  instruction from the Liberal Government


The hacking, The Russian connection, The policy reversals , The never ending conflicts of interest,  The Oligarch choices for his dept heads , The incessant lying every time he opens his mouth, What will be the crowning issue that will push the State Electors to say that a grave injustice has been done to the country, her people and Democracy as a whole and to reject this narcissistic Dictator wannabe ?

Matt responded in mature manner.  Peter was simply expressing his opinion.


I have no idea.


It does not take 5 years for a responsible person or a responsible group of people to realize that it is wrong to falsely accuse another person of committing a crime and without evidence to promote that story in the media. The government destroyed Roderick MacIsaac's life such that he took his own life.  This is not solved by an investigation and a press conference. Nothing was learned except the awful truth. Where are the consequences for this decision? Remember the Provincial government did this to our best and our brightest. This is disgraceful.


For what it is costing the NFL; they should fire the inconsiderate over paid malcontents as employees reflecting negativity upon the system. Glad we agree brad!


When visiting our national parks and enjoying nature, is it a high priority to have wi-fi and connectivity? No. Instant gratification doesn't need electronic assistance.

If corporations want to pitch in, fine, but in nature and our national parks and monuments, and state parks also, spare us the commercialization and advertising.


Another sly commentary of how fixing the Oil Tax Giveaway SB21 would be 'soaking the Oil Companies'. Balderdash. Oil Shill Parnell soaked the entire state when he put forward that pack of lies, confusing & frightening the public just enough to nix the repeal that came very close to overturning his blatant Execution of ACES.

Where are the jobs he promised? Where are the working pumps & new oil fields? Why is the pipeline not FULL of oil, so much that it would be bursting at the seams? Where are all the high-paying jobs he promised 'if only The People would allow his steady hand on the tiller, with SB21 leading the way, to guide us to long-term prosperity'?

Make no mistake, only raising oil taxes *won't* fix this mess. The Republican Majority in power for over 6 years has blown a massive hole in the State budget. However, pouring the PFD into that hole is WRONG. They can't be trusted with the money they have NOW, why give them more!?!?

Robin Brena HAS THE PLAN, but has been IGNORED.

A survey of Alaska voters in 2010 showed 70% overall support for the idea that the President of the United States should be the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.

Voters were asked "How do you think we should elect the President: Should it be the candidate who gets the most votes in all 50 states, or the current electoral college system?"

By political affiliation, support for a national popular vote was 66% among Republicans, 78% among Democrats, 70% among Nonpartisan voters, 82% among Alaska Independent Party voters, and 69% among others.

Our future depends upon us going nuclear, big time.  Unfortunately, we are going the wrong direct, to wind and solar.   I would suggest that China will lead the world as they will go nuclear and leave us behind.  No Paris accord for them!


"President Donald Trump promised that the plan he announced Aug. 21 would dramatically change the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia. But experts in peacebuilding say he is continuing an approach that has failed miserably for more than 15 years while ignoring alternatives that are backed by research and evidence."

Agreed.  George W. Bush's original invasion and occupation was a failure since, like Iraq, it was based on false assumptions.  Bush told us Jeffersonian democracy would magically appear if we invaded.  That showed no understanding of societies where loyalty to tribe is more important than loyalty to a nation state.

There is another aspect to this discussion that few talk about and that is that people are concerned with burkas because of its connection to the radical ideology of Islam as taught in Islamic religious schools or Madrassas run by the Wahhabis, the sect of Islam supported by the Saudis and the guardians of Mecca. It is this ideology that requires that women wear Burkas. Hillary Clinton recognized this as she said in her speech after the Orlando massacres;

"For starters, it is long past time for the Saudis, the Qataris and the Kuwaitis and others to stop their citizens from funding extremist organizations. And they should stop supporting radical schools and mosques around the world that have set too many young people on a path towards extremism"

Accordingly, another reason Canadians may be against Burkas is the link of Burkas to the radical ideology of the Wahhabis, which according to a Wahhabi Imam, is similar to that of ISIS, per a recent article.


It's pretty clear where the blame lies on healthcare. Just because you like drinking pee doesn't mean I like to.


That's the thing, Leroy, there are no such constraints as you may desire.  It's that first amendment, the one on the page before the second.  Or do you believe we should be able to tell you when and where you can touch a gun?  Or that we can determine whether you're a grownup or not?

Turnabout is fair play, right?


Hey thanks for a well informed response.


I voted 'sad' not because I disagree, but because it's sad that your point is so right.


Sounds like your quoting from a tRump rally, Craig.


I understand bike groups want to push for bike lanes but I will never use them because the number of drivers swerving and on the friggin' phones is off the charts. I love riding but hate having to ride on roads, if a bike does something wrong a car gets scratched and a driver upset. If a car does something wrong the cyclist gets really messed up or killed.


It certainly seems unfair from a physiological perspective ... all these students should be on an equal footing both hormonally and rules-wise ..

Transgendered students should be fully engaged with their required sexual gender or -- perhaps transgendered humans should have their own sports groupings, such as transfemales and transmales..

Just a thought...

. . .  the bottom line is that any sport should allow the participants to engage on an equal footing..

Wow that is a full load of hooey.   One that a trained person would just go off randomly shooting in a gunfight.  Two that the trained person might not do something similar to a police officer not directly engaged in getting everyone ELSE out of the danger area.   Three there is no such tenant that only a 'trained professional' can handle a gun.   Unless you mean trained taught etc in gun safety and gun handling practices which is damn near every gun owner.   Four concealed carry most certainly does not violate that tenant.  In fact many if not most concealed carry permit holders have far more training than the 'professional' police officer you so trust.   I'm glad you got an NRA instructor to help you learn the safe handling of a firearm.   Unfortunately it appears that you still have severe misconceptions of reality.


It will affect the US very adversely too.


Jagmeet cannot dictate various aspects of his religion, so as long as he keeps state separate from religion, I see no reason to believe or predict, that he will be thrusting his religion (or turban) on ANYONE.  If he does, I’m sure there are many like you, who would vociferously call him on it- pronto!


No fan of RTD management, but in their defense have withheld payments and have levied fines against Denver Transit Partners (DTP) and  have forced DTP to pay for the crossing guards along the A, B and G lines.  Short of firing DTP, and getting someone else to finish the job not sure what else RTD can do to hold DTP accountable.

We find disgusting joy in maiming and killing other species solely for the adornment of our selves and our homes. We find disgusting joy in maiming and killing other species for the pure pleasure of being able to do so – and then have the nerve to hang their heads on our walls as if we accomplished some great feat. That we even do so the point of those species’ extinction is beyond comprehension and explanation.  We tolerate no intrusion of other species on our own artificial lifestyle and destroy them when they do. We have so overpopulated the Earth with our own kind, we have to resort to conflict to take away what we perceive is ‘rightfully’ ours – a conflict that escalates every day and /will/ result in the eventual extinction of our own species, probably sooner rather than later.

Obama allowed China,    France,    Russia,  United Kingdom,  Angola,     Egypt ,    Japan,     Malaysia,     New Zealand,     Senegal,     Spain,     Ukraine,     Uruguay,     Venezuela, and  Bolivia to vote on their principles.

They all voted to condemn Israeli colonization and the squatters now living in Palestine.


How often do you visit ANWR?


Just a quick historical comment:   As African-American scholar Thomas Sowell points out, slavery as an international trade phenomenon wasn't ended by mass uprisings and moral indignation of black and brown people around the world - it was ended by the moral indignation of people schooled in the European enlightenment, and the British fleet.  ;-)


"...Bush41 went into Kuwait with over 900,000 troops and a much smaller objective. That war was over in 100 hours, and we only had 172 casualties....."

A big part of that was leaving Hussein in power to control his country.  Had we gone into Iraq, well, I'll let Cheney explain it to you:

https://youtu.be/6BEsZMvrq-I

...which is exactly what GW's move did.  There was no real reason to go into Iraq other than financials for Bush, Cheney, and their big money buddies.


There needs to either be a local skilled workforce, or people have to be willing to move there.  Not many software folks really want to move to rust belt cities.  Have you seen a great lakes winter?

…except, of course, Alaska's unemployment rate is not at record highs.


I was not impressed with that thinking either and was not originally an HRC supporter.  The refusal of the DNC to consider any other candidate coupled with Trump more or less forced me to reconsider.  To be truthful, I didn't vote at all since my vote was not meaningful in my State.  I just threw up.


good try


"Acting in the interests of Syria's people, the Russians are finally helping to restore order."

By bombing hospitals and slaughtering children?
You are one scary dude!


The war in Syria has been going on for over 7 years at a cost of hundred thousand of lives and total disruption of the population. Little has been done by the world up to now,and we have come to know that the UN is completely useless when it comes to conflicts like this. Obama's line in the sand meant nothing, and the recent gas attacks confirmed this. For those that would criticize Trump and the U.S. for their actions, what was the viable alternative, as after 7 years diplomacy was not and never was going to work. We could have course turned the page and said not our problem, but we have done that too many times in the past and we are supposed to be better then that.It was clear years ago as it is now,  Assad will have to go, either willingly or by other means. Trump has sent a message that has been heard very clearly by those in the Middle East , Russia, China, and North Korea, and the message has been understood.


I love it !!! Thanks. This is the only topic I was able to bond with Norstog on...


So how can society combat fake news? By being right, and by being blunt about it.

Trump won the presidency because too many people thought 'somebody else' was going to stop him. Everybody laughed at Trump's antics, were appalled at his crassness, but played it up for cheap laughs.
'Fake News' began with Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show', but in the last campaign ALL news decided that it wanted in on the joke. Tellingly, Jon Stewart, arguably the guy who made fake news popular, now comes off as an angry, critical, bitter crank, in his recent television appearances. Google the video of his appearance on Colbert, after the Republican Convention.

Fighting 'Fake News' is going to take the media re-inventing itself in the mould of Mid 80's episodes of 60 minutes, with angry, ego-driven NEWS anchors kicking in doors, with cameras in tow, embarrassing offenders bluntly and publicly. No more thousand word think pieces on some obscure website.

Time for journalists to go for the jugular!


It does seem like this cause célèbre was chosen carefully, perhaps by all involved.


Hi, Ron.  Re: your question: is not a "contributing cause" of [growing density of Vancouver] been "real estate special interest groups..."  What groups, exactly are those, I wondered?  Ah, yes,  in your next line, you give some hints (nudge, nudge, wink, wink): those money launderers; tax-dodgers. And we all know who THEY are, right?

Vancouver: "Another high-density Asian Hong Kong," you say! Hong Kong boasts over 7 million people.  Wikipedia: Statistics Canada data shows that over 17% of the approximately 2.5 million people living in the [Vancouver] metropolitan area are ethnic Chinese." That's not much more  than the population of Greater Victoria.  Hardly Hong Kong, Ronald.

How do you feel about Germans, Ronny? Wikipedia: "ethnic Germans are the largest non-British group [in Vancouver] and, as census records show, only in the 21st Century were outnumbered by the Chinese for the first time."  Yikes!  How sneaky is that?  They even look like the rest of "us", right?  Who knew?


Political posturing, nothing more.  The hotel industry is already screamingly about an increase in the real estate tax.  Thinking that they will stand still for an increase in the transient accommodations tax is laughable.  Can't wait for Max Sword to start whining about the unfairness of it all.


Well, I guess that makes it fine.


Or, you can go one better and subsist entirely on soylent powder and water from soylent.com (no kidding).  Consider:  if the universal blue food that astronaut Dave in Arthur C.

We now live in a world, of political correctness & hurt feeling, on a political level.

It is nice to know, that future wars, will be started, over political correctness & hurt feelings.

I got it; the terrorist act in Barcelona was inspired by Trudeau. The terorrist had pictures of Trudeau all over his van. I have also heard that Trudeau finances ISIS and manufactures bombs in his basement - on taxpayers money, no less.

Really. I have heard it on Breibart (a site you are surely familiar with).

Sure, why not add insult to injury. First they allow a plutonium-leaking weapons lab upwind at Rocky Flats, then they consider putting drinking water at risk by considering fracking.


Even without the instances cited by Ms. Wente where the Liberals seem woefully out of touch with most ordinary Canadians, surveys in the past 2 years of single issues preferences reveal the plurality and usually the majority of Canadians agree with hardly anything this government is doing or proposing.

The Liberals can thank their lucky stars so many Canadians simply happen to like Justin Trudeau - his hair, his socks, his abs, his good looks, his drama teacher delivery, his name and his perceived warmth and good intentions - so they have cut this government massive slack.

However, polling trends make clear the PM's record breaking honeymoon with Canadians is finally over.  So with both major opposition parties now having new leaders, some polls showing the Conservatives and Liberals statistically tied, and a slowing economy, the possibility of divorce proceedings in 2019 becomes very real.

Just as the Inquiry in Murdered and Missing Native Women is collapsing, this new scandal of cultural appropriation comes along to fill the shame void . This is going to be a great new tool to leverage more millions out of guilt stricken white people. Excellent timing.


"Anyone who believes that Putin is not trying to interfere in NATO countries in any way that he possibly can, is either being disingenuous, or just naive."

And anyone who thinks that the US Government does not do the exact same thing to those countries it deems as enemies as well as its own allies (as evidenced by the admitted tapping of ally political figures communications, i.e. Merkel) is equally disingenuous or just clueless.


This piece presents limited facts about "numerous" (really?) African people owning white slaves, freed slaves, etc.  It really needs more substance than these highly interpretive comments about numbers.   What exactly is "numerous," etc., and compared to how many millions of slaves who didn't own white people, but were instead treated with a brutality for which we would now imprison someone for a very, very long time?

So, capitalism made slavery a huge effort that was an international trade.   How, exactly, is that illuminating?   Water is wet, too.

We won't unlearn bigotry by talking about how discoveries of crops "changed" slavery.   People changed slavery.  People are the active agents, not "discoveries."


The study was done an an accredited university and published in a reputable journal, but it was still (as the reports are saying) a study with inaccurate/tampered data.  If this latter part is true, it is a "bogus" study and the fact that it was from any particular university or published in any particular journal is irrelevent.

Any good university or researcher would pull such a study when the tampering came to light.  This is the right thing to have done.


I would agree with you, except he keeps doing this sort of thing. One or two brain farts are normal, but you'd think by now he'd realize he's only hurting himself and our national image.


Taipan, You would be more believable if you revealed your real name.  Otherwise, you can make fake claims with impunity.


There's a disturbing undercurrent of denial in the US (and Canada) these days - denial that being in the military does not include the possibility of injury or death. So, when that happens, there's an impulse to treat it like an accident where someone must be responsible and made to pay. Families of the victim appear in court to plead for redress.


Annulment IS another word for divorce.  Annulment does say that a marriage never took place, but we know it's been abused, and the parties involved know the truth in their hearts.  But, again, we can't make that judgment.


The Charlottesville supremacists are not only hoist on their own petard, they've also fouled the waters for similarly-minded groups elsewhere who might have actually been willing to engage in honest, rational discussion about removing or relocating Confederate statues and monuments. Instead, thanks to the actions of a few wacko haters, there are multiple other communities quickly, unilaterally, and decisively carrying out the removals. Considering that the Charlottesville crowd's objective was to preserve a CSA statue, they are most definitely not getting what they wanted. It serves **them** right, but in a way it's unfortunate that they piddled in a bunch of other people's cornflakes in the process.

The current mess we're in is a result of the very great and growing disparities of wealth and income.  Capitalism has no inherent way to lessen these.  Simulations show that, unless there is some intervention, disparities of wealth and income will continue to grow.

The free people of this nation can use their government to help determine a better future.  Bob's recommendations are reasonable and sound.


Actually it's about Wasserman Schulz and her involvement in shutting down Bernie. The emails were simply the conduit for her behind the scenes manipulation of the nominating process to promote Hillary. The emails were and are legal and allowed. Republican emails are not part of the discussion. Poor reading comprehension seems to be a liberal trait. Thanks for the uncivil uneducated reply Dave63.


You're right, but I thought Susan's comment minimized the alcohol problem on campus.  It was there 30 years ago and from what I can see it hasn't changed.


No.

Great day for Canada's economy, thanks to Trump. When was the last time Trudeau/Notley/Wynne did anything that actually helps with economic and job growth??


That wasn't me since I have full confidence in the mental debility of Republicans. Trump is a perfect fit for the Republican party in my opinion. He's the best thing to happen to the Republican party since Sarah Palin. I only wish Donny had had the foresight (or prepuce) to chose her as his running mate. She's so much more entertaining than the that evangelical Hoosier pasty and a bit more attractive too.
Oh well, maybe the next election cycle will see desperate Republicans drag ol' Sarah out of drug rehab to inspire the Republican faithful. With the Republican party you just never know. Hey, they may not be qualified to run the country anymore but they do deliver a spectacle for those with a stomach strong enough to watch. God bless 'em.


If it isn't racial stereotyping, what would you call it when you assign negative attributes to a wide group of people who are grouped together based solely on skin colour?

Isn't it funny that people of certain political leanings feel it is acceptable that "Whitey" can be lumped together despite ancestors living sometimes thousands of miles apart and frequently having little if any culture in common?


Yes, and her commission was to go and inform the Apostles that Christ had risen. She completed this. The twelve male Apostles were given a priestly commission, to teach, baptise, forgive sin and to consecrate bread and wine. She was not.

Yes, you read that right.

I’m going to fight hard and get up to the top.”


Thousands in our community went on their own Climate March yesterday behind lawnmowers, or in groups of two or three along sidewalks and trails, to avail themselves of the suddenly abundant solar power.

That several hundred folks gathered yet again to clear their throats in unison for their latest feel-good cause of the week only means it was another slow news day in Eugene. Perhaps the paper should apply the same rationale to start covering church services.


There's a turnaround going on.

Oh what will the MSM do now? Can't wait to see them screw the pooch more than they have already done.

"What's wrong with respecting your flag and country ?"
.
Nothing.
The point you are missing is that it is every person's right to choose to do that, or not.  It is nobody else's right to force them.  That is what freedom of conscience is about.
.
More to the point, you might also have asked: "What's wrong with respecting the US Constitution, and the rule of law"?
.
Is it possible that respecting the Constitution is even more important than respecting the flag?
.
Freedom of speech and freedom of conscience are the cornerstone principles upon which the US was founded, entrenched in the First Amendment (and in the Charter, 195 years later).  How can you be "respecting" the US as a country by dis-respecting them?
.
Every President swears an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States.
