These "lost" points are never to be gained.   If you are going to try and make the playoffs,  these points like last night are a MUST...  Croaking doesn't make for a professional team.


Yeah, because people like you claim to know something about a total stranger.  Is it to make yourself feel better?  Do you need help with it so badly that you'll make ridiculous assumptions about people you've never met?  If not, what is it?
Please fill us in.


Nothing in particular outside of noting that gay people have a variety of interest and belong to all parties.   In other words they are pretty normal, have diverse opinions and co-exist with a broad range of people sharing similar interest.   Maybe both parties should quit using this particular group of people as a volleyball as if either party has the right to speak for a stereotyped interest group.


I notice any criticism of the black community no matter how civil it is, is being taken down.  Now that's racism!!!!!


The last time a president (G.W.Bush-R) lowered taxes to repatriate money 21,000 thousand American jobs went to robots.
#45  every time he opens his mouth, or signs an E.O. Canada just looks better and better.


If you're charged by the Feds you are done for.

Just reading the complaint, it's insane how much evidence they gather before making an arrest.  They have 8 undercover agents involved.  They have evidence of: him on video doing multiple training sessions for ISIS, saying he wants to meet ISIS, taking top secret data for ISIS, swearing allegiance to ISIS, they even have him admitting he was trying to provide help to ISIS.

I don't even think he's going to have a defense at this point. :/


Yes, I don't agree with many of Trumps policies, therefor I am going to put my trust in a brutal dictatorship with an egregious human rights record, that cyber-attacked Canada, because my left wing partisanship tells me I must protect Justin above all else.

Now let's not remember what I was posting about China when Harper was in power, completely different and suddenly irrelevant.

Great job indeed.


Perhaps I should rephrase:

I do care what God is doing in the world.  I believe that God is active in the Protestant sects. I believe that the fullest avenue of God's activity and the most perfect avenue of God's activity is in the Catholic Church.

If I thought it was in a Protestant sect, I would join that sect.  While I grant that the Protestants are our brothers and sisters in Christ, albeit separated brethren, I believe there are some things they got wrong.  In the end, however, I am not a Protestant, I am a Catholic. For that reason I don't particularly care what practices Protestants have or what is going on or not going on in their respective sects. That is their business--just as what goes on in the Catholic Church is our business.  In short--I mind my business when it comes to the Protestants. If they want to ordain women, that is their affair. If they think sacraments are not appropriate or believe we are saved by Faith alone, again, their business.


By deciding to reject the Paris agreement on climate change, President Trump signals that the US is not serious about combating global warming. A unified stance among these seven countries would show the rest of the world that the future of all our children and their children matters. The science behind the threat of climate change is well established and new data regarding its impact on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets is a resounding confirmation. Mr. Trump may not see the issue the way everyone else does but taking off those blinders may be the solution.


Do the math.  300 billion tons of radioactive waste would displace an equal volume of water in the ocean.  This is equivalent to a cube 720 miles on each side.  This would cover an area 4 times the size of Colorado, and reach 720 miles into space, more than 3 times higher than the International Space Station.  Please check your facts!


Fishing.

Hey, don't blame me.  I just picked the definition from a dictionary, which says both are sports, and it says nothing about "both" opponents having fun a requirement to it being a sport.

If you play football, your team has a lousy game (like the Broncos just did), and you're not having fun (like many players on the Broncos are saying they're experiencing those emotions), is football no longer a sport?


It was pretty clear early on that reconveyance was not going to get this group's support.  The key issues are what to do with the accumulated arrearage and the DNR's lagging effort?  I don't think adding a county employee is the answer to either.  Put a quarterly status report on Jones' plate for the Commissioners to evaluate and direct any subsequent necessary action.  I'd also recommend taking timber money out of all taxing districts' funding.  Most budget without it anyway since unreliable.  Put it into the state's budget as another revenue.


Theft?  Then why was the left railing on Harper for dropping it to 5% and demanding it to be raised back to 7%

Remember Chretien's promise to abolish the GST?

Poof!


In other words, some of same people who helped engineer the 2008 meltdown now advise Trump. Sweet.

Meanwhile, the hens huddled nervously, wondering about the gleaming, foxy smiles of the new henhouse guards.


The LIA wasn't a global and synchronous event, and not for that entire period.


Half of your statement is undoubtedly accurate.

The other half has absolutely nothing to do with reality.

The 'Oregon taxpayers' will have some as-yet-undetermined-number of property tax lots formerly assessed at timber rates converted to $500,000 and up valued individual properties paying Lane County and ESD and other taxes at those much higher rates instead.

More money for Lane County will be the bottom line from this one.


This market is imploding as you read these comments. I work in construction and developers are trying to cancel projects as fast as they can. New reporting rule from the fall for CRA is crushing the industry with back taxes and penalties. Current home owners are trying to fix up their properties and unload.  The banks are not ready to value homes for mortgages. They are valuing them 10% below the sales price and deals are falling apart.
next 1-6 months price drop of 10-20%.
After that
1) if they raise interest rates once - Market will stabilize
2)if they raise twice - Additional 5%
3) if they raise three times 10%...etc.
4) if OFSI brings in new mortgage rules and they raise rates, this whole thing is done. 30-40% drop.
I would not buy in the next 6 months as these may be 3 rate hikes and mortgage changes that remove 20% of buyers.

I really just don't want to see young families get hurt.


Rex, you are the master of pointing out the obvious, and the irrelevant!


An X for gender on your passport, who would be that stupid?

In certain countries, you have just painted a giant bullseye on yourself.

I hope we are including a warning (disclaimer) that Canada is not responsible for any discrimination, persecution, assault or murders that may occur in other countries when someone chooses to use the X option.


I like the idea of no homework for young kids as they do get overloaded from a young age. Both students and teachers at public schools would likely benefit from doing a version of this. However, I think children also benefit from being vaccinated, something that the Waldorf school is not known for. In fact, it is 1 of 13 schools in Oregon with non-medical exemption rates over 50%. Data from 2014 put it at a 68% exemption rate.


I hope the city hangs tough on this one. Professional hockey is in no need of subsidies.


but, you're not cool... with personal freedoms and rights?


It's trite but it's true and it needs to be repeated here in response to this comment.  If the legal system, including our Charter and Constitution, doesn't work for criminals and special interest groups, then it can't be relied upon to be there for me when I need the protection, in particular protection from the overreaching power of the state.


And all that may be close to the centerline of truth or not, yet it would be premature for someone to conclude on the basis of your captious comments here that you weren't' at some point an otherwise agreeable guy, and in fact perhaps even a good friend of mine, no?


Here's the core of the issue: it is a lot easier to find a STEM graduate with necessary soft skills like critical thinking and communication than to find a humanities graduate with necessarily skills in STEM.  End of story.


Chris in Ottawa: You're correct both in terms of the discrimination faced by older workers as well as the need to integrate younger workers into the workforce. On the first account, governments could reduce the disincentives applicable to hiring and/or keeping older workers by creating a national pharmacare program. This would help workers who are stuck in the "gig economy" as well. When a friend was laid off from his long-time job along with other older co-workers (and I believe replaced by younger temporary workers) he said there was little doubt among those laid off that the employer was dumping benefits costs. My friend was lucky that after exhausting E.I. benefits he was old enough to start collecting a pension he'd contributed to for decades. Others apparently weren't so fortunate.


The real problem is that CoNgress refuse to do their jobs and phase-in e-verify. If they did this, and would actually solve the issue of who gets amnesty/not, then once e-verify is in place and many go home, it would be trivial to chase these criminals .


I generally think unions are good for workers; but, I have always had a big problem with police unions, and teacher unions, too, when they defend those found guilty of crimes or maleficence. I know, sometimes one needs an advocate; but, to defend at all costs, or when not warranted is not always a good thing, I think.


if you actually had a clue you would see and hear president trump planning on cutting 10% in over all government and 20% in washington fed employees thus reducing government over all.


And even your worst performing students who couldn't get accepted in to any other program can get their teaching credentials. Look at the people teaching today. Can you say most deserve this platinum taxpayer funded package? Absolutely not. The best teachers out there maybe but they might represent 0,001% of all teachers.


I wish our immigration program was exclusively about recruiting skilled people most likely to make a positive contribution to Canada.  The refugees we have been taking lately don’t seem to meet that criterion, and the next wave, for example the Rohynga, seems even less fit for life in a western country.  It’s as if we’re trying to be a materially poorer country so that the Trudeau government can signal its virtue to the world.


A flat tax would be such a relief on so many fronts. Surely we could find a few smart people who could work out something equitable for all of us, especially if the personal exemptions were a little more in line with the cost of living.


Thank you for sharing this video.


The forced integration of Southern schools by federal marshals should have put those posse comitatus people on notice that public accommodations have to be open to everyone, so long as they wear shirt and shoes. People like the Bundys and their incompetent "militias" haven't got the picture yet. As for self-described "evangelicals", they seem to believe that Jesus only loves white people. and only a few of those.  May they experience the "rapture" sometime before 2020.  I know it's not politically correct to say so, but I don't think they're a bit better than anyone else, though they might on average have a better credit score.


It can be a painful illness.


weren't known? they wrote a bloody book about it and a movie - True Colors -

  the press chose to not make a big deal of it until he was going to be impeached

yes the same press that casts Trump in a negative light


I too personally know many immigrants who are either professionals or run successful businesses (these include me, my spouse and several friends, and most of us pay more income TAX than the average Canadian INCOME); most of our parents work(ed) blue-collar jobs and also pay income tax.

I'm grateful to be have been welcomed here, and MY life is (most likely) better for having immigrated here.  But that doesn't mean the Canadians (Canadian-born or earlier immigrants) are better off that my family, friends and I immigrated here.

I'm just saying that the purpose of immigration should be to improve the lives of current Canadians, and we should continually monitor its impact to ensure that purpose is met.

It's even OK for Canadians to be selfish and refuse immigration to perfectly wonderful people if additional immigration negatively impacts Canadians (e.g. lower wages; higher housing costs).


Clearly the incredible work Monsef did was to berate  the Parliamentary Committee's work on democratic reform without even reading the report (or, at least not understanding it at all). As Lisa Rait said "This is unbelievable".


You were saying?


Pape replied to the person who asked why be concerned about the relative MER of two funds. Why not just focus on their respective returns.? He answered that it makes sense to accept the higher MER if the fund has a higher return. The problem with this answer is that he is referring to PAST returns. Study the research. They are a very poor predictor of future returns in comparing funds.

Would you pay 1% more for a fund when you have no idea if it will perform better next year? No! My advice: take your portfolio as a whole and look for ways to lower your overall expenses. Shifting from active to index funds will do this; shifting from mutual funds to ETFs will do so too, if you purchase the latter through a discount broker. In the past year, I reworked my entire portfolio and lowered my overall MER by more than 1%. That 1% goes to me, if my fund choices are just as good as they were before --and they are. On a 5% overall gain, that's 20%, and it compounds over time.


A:  Nice try but you are cherry picking your facts.  For example, 36.4 of oil workers are non-residents - True.  But 36% of 11,000 employees is about 4000 workers.  Your comments are not false but are only partial truths, misleading and cherry picked to refute what.....?


As opposed to your being unprofessional at everything?


Odd you don't mention the stock option 'loophole' which apparently benefits CEO's etc. to the tune 0f 800M-1B... As a disinterested and impartial CA you'd think that and other advantages of the 'filthy' rich would merit your attention. Ah well...


IMHO it might be time to evaluate how we understand priesthood in the practical sense. Does it have to be strictly in a parish/rectory setting? Could a priest also be involved in other areas of ministry or livelihood that would provide financial support, e.g., teaching, nursing, military chaplain, etc? In the military chaplains are paid according to their rank. The married priests I served with did a good job providing ministry and presence, and had a pastoral sense that we celibate males will never help. Not everybody is called to rectory living. There is plenty of room for dialogue and study on this. Stating a priori that married priest won't work out is not a good place to begin. The Holy Spirit is full of surprises. Celibacy is not an essential part of serving as a priest, whether male or female. Ministry of priesthood is not about "power" to change the bread and wine. It is about serving, leading, gathering folks together in prayer. Power has nothing to do with it. Its not magic.


Mthembu as ANC Whip obviously does not respect the constitution or the courts like Zuma and the Gupta's. For if he did he would remember the Chief Justice clearly stated an MP's prime obligation is to the people of SA, not a political party. He is insisting that MP must defy the judge and constitution
The NEW ANC is attempting to hijack SA and install a dictator


i COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE ANY HAPPIER with President Trump than I am right now. Go through his list of campaign promises and start checking them off. Democrats take notice that this is what keeping your campaign promises looks like since you have never seen it from any of your candidates in your lifetimes...except for maybe old soul


We had more freedom 40 years ago.


Here's the way I look at this:

A parent becomes irate over a science grade, or a science curriculum's lack of including intelligent design.  Get police to guard the science class?  Cancel the science class?

A Band parent becomes irate over choice of songs played, or what instrument a kid is given.  Have police buzz the band practice?  Cancel band for the year?

A parent becomes irate over the choice of discipline handed out by the Vice Principal for whatever violation charged.  Have the police stand by?  Cancel school for the year?

A football parent becomes irate over treatment of their kid.  Or, the plays called.  Have police stand by and buzz practices?  Cancel the season for the year?

All present precisely the same parental concerns and emotions.

We KNOW how Kaiser handles irate parents (police and cancellation).

How does ANY educational situation get to the point where parents become so irate?  Without administrative intervention?  To at least separate the parents . . .


Dan Sullivan is at least headed in the right direction. If you consider all the land in Alaska and put Federal, State,Borough, City, and Native Corporation holdings together in the UNTAXED category, that leaves only 1% of all the land in Alaska that is Privately owned and TAXED. In my opinion land that is taxed is not actually owned. Now back to Dan Sullivan's 9 acre land deal. Timing is bad because in a few years market value will be much less than 4 million. Also as City owned land it won't be taxed and what ever is built will probably a cost to tax payers for ever. The upside is getting it away from the Feds.


The suggestions in this article are very good.   The Wallace Collection is also wonderful and not too big -- it's near Selfridges and easy to tack on before or after lunch.   It also doesn't tend to be too crowded, whatever the time.


So the graph in that study does not show a 10x multiplier. So in other words like most climate change alarmists you were just spouting what you felt.

Thank you though for confirming.


This is a long and uninteresting rant about not fitting in. Unfortunately fitting in is a two way street - one has to make an effort to conform. From her article, it seems that Ms Roderique was not comfortable with the expectations of the firm and that she appears to believe that because of her race, she should not be expected to comply.
The only interesting thing about the essay is that somehow she manages to blame “White Privilige” for her own attitude problem.


Don't you fools have jobs all you do bash people who do especially well paying union ones.........glad I am retired.
This will end with a deal but unfortunately both sides lose in a strike.
GM knocked 7 grand off the Equinox in Detroit,the car is a dog,this is one I can't figure out at all.


Do you seriously need me to spell it out? The ANC has wasted, misappropriated, squandered or outright stolen hundreds of billions of rands at this point. If we had an honest, competent, conscientious government, we would no longer have a housing problem!


Student:  Buildings and vehicles are well heated and people wear a lot of warm clothing when they go outdoor in the cold part of the winter.  But there is no escaping the fact that the weather can be bitter at times, particularly if you are not used to the cold.  It is a big expanse of country and the weather can be harsh.  A couple of days ago I was walking around in a jacket.  Today I have my down-filled parka and other extra garments.  I will stay in most of today until the bitter wind abates.  It is very comfie indoors.  I hope this is helpful.

Saskatchewan is a beautiful province (like the other ones).


The motion to end all motions???  For example:  "We all stand for motherhood and apple pie (in Canada, today that would be changed to pizza pie) and all things that are goodness and light." ---- Then we could all move on and never have to revisit these symbolic gestures.


He needs to go for trying to convict these people not for his inability to convict them


duckduckgo 'mogilevich trump' for a free education.

Under Jewish law they were married, not unmarried, and Tradition tells us that Joseph was no teenager.


1. Men are overrepresented  in our criminal justice system.
2. There is not a problem with "overpolicing" based on stereotypes, it is a problem of "underpolicing" in other areas.
3. Police have failed to investigate missing aboriginal men.
4. The justice system is sexist against men.


Constitutions were written before the age of terrorism so it will be interesting to see if one part of a Constitution can be over-ridden by another part as the Supreme Court has ruled in the Canadian past.  Some parts of a Constitution  could be considered more important than others.


Senator Rubber Stamp


Amazing, just amazing. Respectfully suggest that folks read something beyond the Daily Stormer version of the Vostok Ice Core research. As far as information for the non-scientist, Scientific American as a fairly good summary of the ways in which the data can be interpreted.


Now...it couldn't be this Goldman Sachs could it?

It's a more than valid question... school wasn't out, he's at an age where he's suppose to be attending school. I hit the dog. There's no question bout that and I own up to that. The family need to own up to their part. There's things that could have been done to prevent an incident from even being a possibility. I wrote nothing hurtful or wrong. U need to think with logic not emotion.


Masonic death threats? No, it would be the Illuminati. Granted, the Masons are much more of a powerful bloc in places like Mexico and Italy, but the election of Ratzinger was all about the fact that he seemed the one eyed man in a room of people blind on how to handle clergy sexual abuse. John Paul II is easily explained by people who thought Vatican II had gone to far. As for Bergolio, if the Masons would be agaisnt anyone, it would be him, unless you are saying that his ideas of universal brotherhood in Christ would somehow gel with the masonic outlook. I can see that, but that is also a scriptural outlook. My-grandfather was a Mason, and I assure you, there is no grand conspiracy. Indeed, it would be nice if Fracis lifted the excommunication, since my mother's family has a long history in the Lodge.


"Sherlock"?  That's truly pathetic -- but Trumpian, I suppose.
When I posted to you yesterday, I didn't realize that the list to which I referred had been deemed "uncivil" by some coward (also true to Trump's example) who disagreed with it.  I re-posted it; you'll find it easily enough. (On my display it appears immediately above your most recent post to me.)
Trump's presidency is disintegrating in full view of the whole world, and his personality with it.
Which version of the Comey story do you believe?  Trump made Pence, Sanders, and Conway look like the idiots they are for working for him.  He sent them out to lie for him on one day, and then pulled the rug from under them the next.  These folks (and of course Spicer, too) will never fully re-build their reputations; Trump has ruined them.
Trump has lived a filthy, dishonest life personally, professionally and politically. Why would anyone think he would, or even could, be different as president? Lock him up.


So, I'm proud to have served.


Indeed.   Just think of being in the graduating class, and after years of study, having to listen to such self-absorbed claptrap from the "leader" of the country.
Disgusting.


No, the "obvious solution" is to regularly shame bad parents into teaching and practicing good oral hygiene to their children.  Next would be shaming people into waiting to have children until they have the maturity, finances, and the commitment to actually raise their children.   Fluoride, social workers and welfare programs are the result of being totally unwilling to directly address the underlying cause of so many problems:   horrendous parenting.  But big government, nanny-state advocates would understandably prefer fluoride to shaming bad parents.


Kim says that Trump is “unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country.”
.
I never imagined I would find myself in agreement with a North Korean dictator.


"seven national climate research networks"

I think having strong research programs providing both basic science and informing government policy making is a great idea.  Is there any way to better integrate what these different networks are doing that might be more efficient and get more bang for the buck?


Very scary indeed. I'm already about as conservatively positioned as I could be financially, and I sincerely hope that I will be the loser for this.


Cynthia, If we ever make the mistake of putting rail at-grade, even minor collisions between a car and the train will shut the entire system down temporarily, and one fatal collision between a truck and the train will shut the system down for hours.  About 9% of the vehicles in Hawaii are not even insured.  Keep rail separate from traffic.  Don't mix rail with dumpsters, garbage trucks, emergency vehicles, and shopping carts.


Actually it appears to be you who are obsessed with remarriage.


Go ahead, let him.

He means nothing to me. And, it will confirm that even he has no faith in his policies standing the test of time.


Yes.  Many things can be done that are a lot cheaper.


The lives of "thousands" of transgender people have been thrown into "chaos" because they now can't openly join the military - give me a break.


Ross was right.  You resort to name calling.


I am sure Trudeau is more concerned about his friends in Arabia than about the effects of killing  pipes line projects on Canadians. By buying their oil we hand them the wealth they kill each other for.


Sure, right you are...and why not beat the hell out of suspects in any and all crimes? Who needs a trial, anyway...we know who's guilty, don't we? And if they say they don't know anything, we assume they're lying and ramp up the pain...that always gets the truth...at least according to your logic.


They, sir, are not me, nor most of us.

Do not assume that one such as that represents the rest of us.


You usually do, and dig yourself in deeper.

Oooops!


Mr. Caplan rails feebly against a man of considerable  capitalist accomplishment, and as with many other  misinformed  writers, prejudices our association with our United States neighbours for the  future

Maybe, but there are a lot of single, happy widows out there. I am aware of many widowed women who are happy to remain single, yet men seem to feel the need to remarry quickly.

The elderly women will be okay.


Welcome home!


Anderson is the BIG liar in this City Council story.  Obviously Ozawa got some "donations."


I totally agree! They buried this paragraph at the end of the article:
 "The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English and French throughout Canada. It included responses from 1,001 people who were at least 18 years old. Individual responses were weighted according to the latest population estimates in Canada so that the results reflect the entire population."

48% of 1001 is 480 people, not half of Canadians! I understand that generalizing results is a common survey/ study practice, however, ignoring all the variables does not make for a very credible result. I always search for the the survey/study details then I ask questions and think critically about the research and the interpretation of results. I like to make decisions for myself, the truth is always somewhere in the middle. I wish those who were making blanket comments in this forum representing "half of Canadians" would take time to think critically as well.


The experts were and are correct. The media/banks/financial institutions are telling the world that we have more oil than what we will ever need . They are basing their statement and position solely on the fact that the US inventory has  increased 100 mmbbls over the last four years. That is 0.5 mmbbls/week ( 0.07 mmbbls/d).  Global oil production is 95 mmbbls/d. Is 0.07 mmbbls/d a glut relative to the 95 mmbbl/d? I do not recall any other commodity being viewed on this basis. Crude oil global demand has continued to increase 1 mmbbl/d annually throughout the last four years. Note also, that US coal production is still increasing. The increase this year is equal to 4 million of oil equivalent bbls/day. The incremental oil production bbls due to projects implemented ten to fifteen years ago when oil was $100 plus per bbl has all come on stream...there is no new oil coming on stream folks.


-over again, for years, physically invading the privacy even of young girls. To get such a monster elected to the highest office in the land, propagandists had to convince the gullible that Hillary was a monster. Who would have thought that a plurality of voting citizens could be so easily deceived? Who could think that even now, with Trump's promises of retaliation and revenge against the perceived enemies of White America tossed without ceremony into the post-election trash bin, that those who voted for such a man still trust him to act on their behalf?

It is truly funny in the way of dark humor that a bunch of ignorant, bigoted crackers were fooled into electing a New York billionaire who lives in a golden palace on Fifth Avenue on the premise that he would act in their interest. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Those of us in a position to benefit from tax breaks and corrupt mingling of public office with Tammany Hall handouts may prosper, but the majority of you - cont'd


How can a woman support Trump? I been asking this for weeks with no response. He thinks your opinion is secondary to a mans, you do realize that right?


Having just read the piece, it is simply astonishing that this man (apparently) has had to resign. It's an essay for God's sake. It's his opinion. If people disagree, then it won't have any resonance and somebody else will write something different that gets a lot of buzz and Potter's piece will be quickly forgotten.

No doubt there are elements of objective truth and there are elements of subjective experience. Other people may point out things he missed and tell us about their different experiences. Vive la diversite.

How Montreal has fallen from its brief stint as a "world" city in the 70s.

Now it looks like the mayor feels obliged to get after anyone who dares criticize the city.

Reminds me of how certain very insecure Newfoundlanders still hate Farley Mowat for writing A Whale for the Killing. This type of behaviour only makes the insecure one look bad.


"What bothers me about many of you is your absurd ignorance of the most fundamental of American principles."

Sadly, you have done nothing whatsoever to educate any of us with your word salad.

I'm a lawyer, and I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  Did you copy and paste this from some sort of Freeper forum?


lol


Thank-you, Sarah for being so helpful.

And so, Agent Sarah, our mission is almost complete: mainstream media credibility in tatters, Canadian outlets teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, this paper down to a head-count of 600, NYT begging for handouts from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim....

How sad.

 How delightful!

As the self-destruction of Canada's Liberal media nears completion, Breitbart will step in to free Canadians from the oppressive combination of a corrupt political class and its toady press.. Quoting from the Breitbart Wiki: "... In August 2010, Breitbart told the Associated Press that he was "committed to the destruction of the old media guard."

How about more articles on Russian interference?

The  Russian people appreciate your support.    Another round of vodka for the happy Russian people

Your support of an authoritarian leadership is interesting.   Democracy has it's problems but not many of us would choose an authoritarian leadership.

You tube for your source of information?  OH, I see, it's YOU who posted, the video.    A Russian language pretty picture - I suspect direct from some government ministry.       Nice of you to educate the American people with a piece of pure propaganda

I take it you're Trump supporter, you're fully qualified being you have no concern for facts or balance.

Where do you live MIXA and why are you on this web site?


Why not try going meatless one day a week? It's kind of amazing how addicted some people are that they can't fathom going without it for a whole 24 hours. The same thing happens with sugar addicts who need their doughnut fix every day.


Other than faith, on what basis do you have for your rant?


Alaskans own the oil, so we are entitled to the full dividend. The oil price has doubled from $26 to $50, so the PF dividend has to be doubled to $4000. This $4000 per person will be "pumped" into the Alaskan economy to prevent a depression. The PF with $52 million can easily afford this dividend. The Permanent Fund is for Alaskans and is not be be used to make-up for the taxes that the oil corporations do not pay.

The quoted slogan, "a city that works for all of us" ... is "all of us" the same as "all Eugene" that Kitty claimed to be "mayor for"? Sounds like this Vinis character is a copycat, presumptive enough to think she knows what we want and shove the opposite down our throats anyway when it disagrees with her enlightened world view. She's "progressive" after all and why would anyone want to stand in the way of progress?

Trump called it like it is.  I respect him greatly for refusing to do what the media demands that he do.  Many politicians would walk in circles and twist in a pretzel to kiss their own butt if the media demanded it.  There was a permitted protest regarding the removal of a confederate statue.  As Trump said, many at the protest were simply people who do not believe in modifying history to please the current fad.  The media, of course, out to sensationalize talks about Nazis and KKK, etc.  The purpose of the demonstration was not bad, i.e. they objected to the removal of a statue.  Many in the country would agree.  Other groups attempted violently, apparently, to prevent the protesters from exercising their first amendment right to express their opinion on a proposed public action.  Trump was exactly right to condemn violence and extremism from every source.  The so-called Nazis and KKK are likely very very happy that the media highlighted and legitimized them.

It's a bad review of a very good movie.


You say it is my mistake, but you turn around and blame Fox News?  They reported it correctly, Halfwit.


There is no high road on the road to hell and Trudeau has taken us down there with this Khadr payment. Scheer is merely the tour guide, pointing out the landmarks.


During his presidential campaign he insulted a POW who was tortured during his captivity.

During his presidential campaign he insulted a Gold Star soldier who gave his life for his country. Then he insulted his family.

During his privileged youth he dodged the draft five times.

Minority-elect "President" Trump's actions are completely unsurprising.

Keep watching. Much worse is yet to come, I assure you. Much, much worse.


They renamed it "social infrastructure" so they could give it away to the groups they like rather than build actual physical things.


Fewer than one percent of registered businesses will pay the tax. Only corporations with sales above $25 million will be affected. (Hardly mom and pop operations.) The tax revenues go--by law--to schools, healthcare, and senior care. So children, the sick who are poor, and the elderly poor do benefit from M97. In fact, without M97, their lives will take a sharp turn for the worse.  That's why it's on the ballot.

The elegance and intelligence of M97 is that, while a sales tax would hit everyone, and prices would effectively move higher for everyone, M97 leverages some contributions from the larger corporations, many out-of-state, who themselves will get tax relief from the federal government (for paying the state tax), thus a second leverage. That will make it a little easier for the larger corporations to sustain profits without raising prices as much as they would have. Taxpayers win twice.

Vaping is banned because it looks like smoking, and allowing it while banning smoking complicates enforcement. Besides, vaping is stupid and think of it as helping you avoid looking like a hipster doofus in front of normal people.


Here's a little FACT that the orange man neglected to disclose today:

Almost a third of Boeing’s Dreamliner comes from abroad -- from countries with high taxes and high regulations, good wages, strong unions, excellent schools including technical education, and universally-available health care.
1.The Italian firm Alenia Aeronautica makes the center fuselage.
2. French firm Messier-Dowty makes the aircraft's landing-gear system.
3. German firm Diehl Luftfahrt Elektronik supplies the main cabin lighting.
4. Swedish firm Saab Aerostructures manufactures the access doors.
5. Japanese company Jamco makes parts for the lavatories, flight deck interiors and galleys.
6. French firm Thales makes its electrical power conversion system.
7. Thales selected GS Yuasa, a Japanese firm, in 2005 to supply it with the system's lithium-ion batteries.


Agreed, except that it's not really new. And ageist comments appear here all the time. For some reason people who would be aghast at sexist and racist forms of bigotry have absolutely no problem with ageism.

The new law doesn't shift taxes from the wealthy to poor residents.  It shifts the taxes to poor and middle class families with children.


There seemingly is no end to the nonsense that is peddled these days under the guise of a worthwhile opinion. The whole focus behind Trump's support was to withdraw , not expand their power options in the world. No one including the vast military complex of the U.S. has any notion of getting involved in a land war in the Middle East or even less so in North Korea. The technology today provides the means to wage a limited military action without committing troops or exposure to mass casualties. There simply is no appetite among the American people to send troops off on another war. So the premise of the author is totally wrong. But it is an opinion piece, and when it comes to Trump there is no shortage of anti-Trump commentators ready to put forth whatever fantasy the left will buy into. It's going to be a long 4 or possibly 8 years.


Taking sexual advantage of a seriously intoxicated woman is a legal and moral offence. But is it worse to intoxicate a woman deliberately and then take advantage of her?

I'd say it is because it involves premeditation rather than giving into impulse, which matters in law at least.

So Gene Ward wants to create a 160-acre ghetto as a "safe zone" or shantytown for homeless. Maybe put barbed wire around the concentration camp to keep them in?

The question is, once we build it, will they really come?  The homeless seem to prefer squatting on beaches and in parks and sidewalks.  They love to be where the action is; where they can get free water and electricity for the TVs and air conditioners with which they furnish their tents.  Where they can get shopping carts, collect cans for the deposit, and have plenty of people passing by whom they can harass for handouts.  Let's remember the song about soldiers returning after World War 1:
"How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree?)"


I think Steve Bannon, ex-chief White House Strategist for Trump, was speaking honestly when he said upon leaving his position that we have no military option for North Korea. Similarly, McMasters and Mattis were speaking honestly when they said much the same thing more than once even if they have switched to saying that there is an option and we will pursue if we have to. I think what they are all saying is that there are no good and realistic military options that would not be almost as harmful as contininuing to apply sanctions and pressure Russia and China for tougher sanctions and cuts to things like oil. But the gap between bad military option and harmful NK progress in weaponry is narrowing. We need to see Chinese and Russians step up their pressure. We are not ready to take a big military step yet-- we will know that when we pull US dependents and civilians from S. Korea, and bring more military forces into S. Korea and the region and that will be a point of no return.

Trump has ignored more laws than you've ignored his ignorant rants!


......"his only option to balance the books was to hike government borrowing"

Listen up all bankers, fund managers and investors. Now is the time to make this government sweat and start doing the right thing. If they will not listen then stop lending them money.

We need to be rid of all the incompetent and dishonest people who are bringing this country to its knees and the lending sector has the power to do so. If you refuse to act  then you can expect your customers to put pressure on you


Considering that oil sands oil is already sold at a discount to WTI this whole story makes very little sense. Trump knows that most of the auto production in Canada is centered around Ontario and the US auto makers are going back to the USA because of lower taxes, lower electricity, and business taxes. He doesn't consider Canada a threat at all.


They also probably have a highly developed sense of duty to country, not to speak of a fear of what Trump might uncover as replacements. Besides, I recall both Mattis and McMaster looking rather uncomfotable and not joining the bowing, scraping and brown-nosing.


It seems Hick would like to keep PERA on a starvation diet, wrest away any semblance of post-retirement benefits such as COLA from retirees (especially current retirees), and phlebotomize or bleed out current employees until it affects the recruitment of new hires.  Then a future legislature and governor will use some future economic downturn as an excuse to ratchet down or claw back the earned base benefit of retirees and those nearing retirement, as there would be no post-retirement benefit to reduce.  I think the eventual assumed rate of return for the PERA trust will be between 4 and 5% as increased socialism affects the market returns of more economic sectors.

The bigger problem Michael is the fall of higher academia, which you represent perfectly. The fact that you are paid to go around inciting hatred, resentment, and division is a true crime. You have an endless supply of venom to spit because the real world will never fit your utopian fantasy.

Ms. Markham,
 At the same time you are being "forced" to pay for Mr. Bucys health care, You will also be paying for your own and your loved ones health care. This is also how insurance companies operate. Lots of folks paying insurance premiums allows insurance companies to spread the cost to those that need more of it.
It's refreshing to hear you say you don't believe in letting disabled people starve or kids be uneducated.
 I'm also glad your happy to help finance insurance company CEO's multimillion dollar annual salaries.
It's well past time for a single payer health care system.

Until you and the rest of the Germanic European White Supremacists walk a mile in their moccasins, you have no "right" to disdain them and all of AK Natives as well.  Everything spewing from your fingers and mouth reflect the hate of one lonely, whining, despable excuse for a human.  The only value of your misspent life is the purveying of a false superiority over other human beings reflecting back on your black soul of pure evil.

The property tax base needs to be expanded to include churches, or at least all of the church employee homes. The biggest property tax loophole is that everyone is a non-profit so they don't have to pay property taxes. What a mess. Make them pay and then see how nicely the tax is spread out.

You see this is what I mean, there is nothing factual in your accusation. Not a single stitch of evidence to support your accusation. It might have been Russia who might have hacked voter rolls and nothing was even mentioned about voting machines and most definitely, nothing has linked Trump to any of these, might have beens. But here you are accusing Trump of something you couldn't even hope to support with any real evidence.

The above is an example of what you get when your understanding of the natural world comes from repeated 'Bambi'-viewings.  Nature is one hundreds of million year-long PARADE of extinction that stretches from before trilobites down to the present day.

Sustained eradication campaigns against feral cats are particularly effective on islands.  The Island Conservation and Ecology Group, Instituto de Ecologia del Universidad Autonoma de Mexico, Centro de Investigationes de Biologias de Noroeste and offices of the Areas Naturales Protegidas in 1994 helped local folks eradicate feral cats from 26 islands off the northwest Mexican coast. In five years they'd succeeded on 16 of them. Twenty-six endemic reptile, 21 endemic mammal and one endemic bird species recovered once the cats were gone.

For two other endemic birds it was too late — they're extinct.  I'd really, really hate it if we became the next species to become extinct because of overweening affection for a disease-ridden "pet".


Yes yes yes  Mel, the word is sunshine and lolly pops, why cant everybody just be a blind Liberal supporter???


I think we have an agreement with the US; If anyone crosses the Canadian boarder illegally from the US, we are suppose to return them to the US. This really is heart breaking but we  have laws for a reason. I just don't want us to have the same mess as the US. The immigration problem, well to say at  the very least it's a real mess. They now filled with gang violence in many of the major cities. Can you believe they actually have 95 million people out of work? That is almost 1/3 of the population. Does diversification work? Has it worked? I think in Canada it has, but only because we take in small amount of refugees and immigrants. What is your opinion?


The problem is the failed reserve system.

It's time to scrap it and allow natives to join Canada!


Polls tells us that Service members are divided on various initiatives by Obama. On balance (four-to-three in favor), they view the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" as a good thing, but they frown upon mixed-gender combat units (two-to-one against) and transgender service members (more than three-to-one against).

More specifically, when asked how the policy allowing transgender individuals to serve openly "affected military readiness," 41 percent said it "hurt" while 12 just percent said it "helped."

At this point, President Manbaby's clumsy attempts at obstruction and misdirection have revealed the outlines of what he is attempting to conceal. He never expected he would be elected, and never thought he would be expected to reveal his tax returns. Trump's "extensive financial ties" to Russia most likely involve money laundering for the Russian mob. Keep in mind the Russian mafia is mostly a network of former KGB operatives, and does not function without the knowledge and sanction of Mr Putain.


The privacy excuse is very lame. This makes me think what is the real reason. Does it have something to do with Mayor Berkowitz's herding of the homeless population into one area of the city so they can have a high number of police arrest them at very high rates? Does it have something to do with covering up the obviously very high crime rate in Anchorage?


"State law requires him to provide public voter information to anyone who requests it."

Williams keeps saying this but I cannot find any "state law" that requires it. In fact, state law implies strongly the contrary.

The relevant statute is CRS 1-2-302 "Maintenance of computerized statewide voter registration list - confidentiality."  Point One: CONFIDENTIALITY.

This statutory provision goes into extensive length detailing the narrow window in which this information can be shared with other Colorado state agencies such as Corrections.

This statutory provision expressly prohibits some voter information from being shared at all. It never authorizes the sharing of the remainder.

Apparently, Williams chooses to interpret "confidentiality" of these lengthy statute in the loosest possible manner.

But when Williams portrays his hands as "tied" - that's an overstatement. Interpreted narrowly, the Legislature itemizes who he may share with and they don't list any federal commission.


Free wheeling with minimal defence may win a bunch of games in the regular season but does nothing in the playoffs.  Leafs need to build a playoff winning team and games like last night highlight that the approach they employed will be useless come April (assuming the Leafs make the playoffs) when hot goalies are not uncommon and teams play a strong defensive game.

They've got the offensive skills, need to build a better defensive game to complement those goal scoring capabilities....circa the late 70s Habs who had great goaltending, strong defensive core, and offensive forwards...but more importantly employed the right style of play balancing defence with goal scoring.

The ones Lobbying the hardest are the Contractors that the DOT will employ. If the Federal Funding were not available, and limited to roads for commerce, we would have no project to be discussing. A Project like this puts an Appointed Official, in charge of the DOT in control of very Large sums of money. There are far better uses for our funds than employing Contractors to build a road that no more than a dozen people will benefit from. The DOT employs a lot of Engineers, but they Contract out the actual construction. They hold the money,and then award contracts to cronies.
   The cost would far outweigh any benefit to the state. Contractors from out of state bid Federal projects, and can easily utilize an out of state workforce. This is a beefed up loser for the state. There will be very little benefit from this road, the one to King Cove is a far better investment. This plays into the Lawsuit filed against taking half of the PFD, arbitrarily.

Get over trying to point fingers at the Democrats, Hillary and Obama.  Dillwinkle, unknowmright, palatable and other right wing trolls, I am talking about you. THIS has been the problem. Get up to speed with current events.  You people are trying to lay blame and tear us apart.  The GOP encourages you and gives you safe harbor and encourages this since they can't  actually lead or  work across the aisle for the common good so they try to blame the past. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.


A climate change study was conducted by MIT in April 2016, titled 'How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?'. "The research showed that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100, Reuters reported."

Wow! A 1% slowing down of global warming after 80 years! In other words, it would make a tiny difference. THAT'S "IF COUNTRIES ABIDED BY THEIR PLEDGES IN THE DEAL!" A non-binding agreement that has no teeth. Let's see, I wonder how many countries would keep their promises when nothing would happen if they didn't. I would bet the U.S. would be one of the stupid countries that actually kept or tried to keep their promises while the rest of the world laughed at us.

We would have to pay $3 bill a year to countries like China and India who don't have to do anything for years! Won't happen. The stupid, rich kid just got a whole lot smarter.

What fake news. Not covering Twitter's admission that they colluded and obstructed the election more than the Russians did, I see.


The way that I see things is that even if the Ruskies interfered in the US election of November 2016, Murkans still voted for the fluorescently orange clown.

Just like they previously elected Dick and Dubya, the war criminals, to a second term.

Ruling : Murkans just ain't that bright.

I must question how the feedback from users is pertinent to whether decisions made in 2013 to improve the course are still valid. The decline in numbers of players is noted....but no reasoned discussion of why that is occuring. Golf is widely being discussed a dying sport due to changes in demographic and economic forces, issues that are discussed in business and investment publications. Course closures are happening in great numbers all over the country, sports equipment retailers are writing off million$ in stale merchandise and laying off their golf professionals from retail outlets.
Four years of change is not trivial in any business cycle and an honest appraisal should take that into account.
And rather than a fresh look at the viability we get a questionaire to only the users and not the community who has to foot the bill.
Wonderful.


Compare and contrast the Charlottesville riot with the peaceful protest in Knoxville last night.  Both cities host the state's university,  and both cities were the scene of protests against Confederate statuary.  Charlottesville had fights,  injuries and a death.  Knoxville had none of those.  Perhaps its because the KPD set up a fence around the memorial in question,  and a barricade down the middle of the street,  keeping the pro-monument folks on one side and the counter-protesters on the other.  Charlottesville Police and Virginia State Police, OTOH, allowed, some might say forced, the two sides into contact,  with the predictable result.  Personally, I blame Gov McAwful for allowing the contact.


I too have become a victim and I filed a police report. They finally approved my case number. I'm not sure why I haven't been contacted. It seems like an open/shut case. I have her name, Barbara Kramer, her Credit Union 1 account number, if I had it with me I'd include it now. On my own I have her address and DOB, at least until October when she gets evicted.

Thankfully I have someone in my home 24/7 usually. My in-laws were living with me until I could get them into their own place and now my son's family are with me until they get on their feet. At least I know it won't be easy to steal from me at home.


Americans have a strong sense of fair play. It has governed our country since forever. The "Oilies" made an unsportsmanlike play when they pushed SB-21. Now they want, they demand fiscal certainty? I think that they should be tossed out of the game entirely.


You should probably also factor in what it would have cost to rent for those 25 years.

The last 48 hours my suburb has been hit by Phase1....Tuesday,decreasesd pressure, last night no supply. When enquiring from the City, what are the times of these disruptions...and how is Phase1 being implemented and administrated ... vagueness. - a departure from previous interactions with the city.

Reply from CoCt : The City cannot provide definitive timetables of the disruptions as the water systems must be managed flexibly to avoid damage to critical infrastructure. Any zoned outages will likely occur during peak water usage times in the mornings and evenings.

By the vagueness,...seems they have no mechanism is place to implement targeted rationing, and certain areas will bare the burnt of the disruptions.

The themes of Hell and Jewish wickedness are also of course found in the Gospels, and may even go back to the historical Jesus. The fateful parable of the wicked tenants (Mk 12:1-12) is the very foundation of supersessionism and is from an older layer of the Synoptic tradition. To what extent does the Spirit allow us to correct the words of Jesus? Did Jesus literally expect the Kingdom to blaze out in glory in a few years (Mk 9:1), so that we are obliged to correct or at least drastically reinterpret his words? Theologically the embarrassment can be solved by distinguishing the limits of his human knowledge from the divine omniscience of the Logos.


Keep asking questions like that and soon enough you'll end up with "but, but, HILLARY!"...

Unless your one of those with a straw at the public trough, you are certainly no better off today than you were 8-9 years ago. Obama was less qualified to answer the call than any of the crop offered up this season. Hillary offers up what ever is appropriate for the audience she is addressing, often in conflict with the next stop, i.e. She is an issue whore. Bernie is in only as a planted transition player for the ultimate socialism play by the party.
Trump would be at least entertaining and maybe, just maybe a dagger in both establishment parties that have been playing the people for years. Quit being a sucker people, $9 billion for an election?

This article as written seems to imply that Deacon Weigel chose to get married  and was subsequently laicized (as punishment or whatever) and may have been surprised by it. This was surely not the case (assuming that he was married in the Church).
Since he was unable to get a dispensation he would have been forbidden to marry as an active Deacon. So he would have had to request that he be laicized of his own free will.
It may seem a "distinction without a difference" in the end, but...


so: boosted trump, undermined the ec? silly article.


While reviewing the credentials of Jeff Sessions, did you happen to see the number of times he went after and stopped segregationists? How about getting the death penalty for a man who murdered a little black girl and as Alabama Attorney General, made sure that the death penalty was upheld for that murderer? Did you happen to see the cases he brought against the Klan and its leaders? Didn't think so.


Start date for Port Angeles is incorrect.  It should read June 21.  June 19 is correct for Sequim.


Quoting Jack Nicholson:  "You want the TRUTH!?  You (He) can't HANDLE the truth!"


kinda agree there...don't see how that justifies the uber wealthy, gold bathroom fixtures trump to be any more just.  he despises soooo many groups of americans.


Many Canadian workers don't have pensions or benefits. Doctors make a lot of money, and should be capped at what they can earn at the expense of the taxpayer. They can earn what they want outside of OHIP, and should not be allowed to sprinkle their income from a CCPC.


Another enhanced revenue designed by our dear leader, silly thing is that $4m/yr is a drop in the bucket towards completion of rail. Taking for granted we need another $5 billion to complete the project ( which is probably absurdly conservative) 4m is just a measly .06% per year towards the 5 billion.......makes one wonder if the voters of Oahu have a clue how big a billion is as compared to a million?


Brooks isn't guessing about Trump or inflating his actions - he believes what Trump says and does.

Brooks and millions of others view women as equals in terms of respect, ethics, morality, intelligence and wisdom.    That still leaves millions of both men and women who will forever be committed emotionally to past gender rolls.  For every Donal Trump that seeks a beautiful woman as an accessory to his own ego, their are women who would more than happy with a life he can provide through wealth and security.  The women in Trumps life also made choices.

The perception of gender roll is shaped by the individuals experience.   It's futile to expect total agreement that there is one particular 'ideal' for men or women.   That won't keep the either the arrogant or the insecure from trying to convince everybody they have the perfect gender roll models.    Not all women are feminist, not all men are Trump - that's the reality and that's not so bad.


In a "perfect world", that extra $13,000/yr would be added to your W2. Then the tax deduction transferred from employer to employee.
Or better yet, add the $13K to your paycheck, to be used to purchase insurance in the independent market.


And to play "devil's" advocate, many atheists won't make the logical argument for good and bad (evil), as in "do the right thing". Ironically, there is a logical, secular, humanist rationale to do good and believe that right and wrong exist. It has nothing to do with any mythical deity. Yet a segment of atheists don't make the case. They have a similar academic laziness that say, fundamentalist Christians do (with their myth fiction nonsense) have.
So, atheists, how do you counter the (false) accusation that atheists can do anything they want because morals are irrelevant? (I'm not an atheist. My philosophy-not-religion with the Army was, and with the hospitals is, "Bedonkohe". I am basically a secular humanist.)


Personal attack.


Sounds pretty thin to me, but I guess people will grab at just about any straw.


People have questioned the math...My niece did marry at 18 and had children quite young.  My grand-niece did become a mother in this spring.  Making my niece a grandmother in her early 40's and my brother a great-grandfather.  Vinny, my brother had grandchildren in 2008, not my niece.  She had the grandchild this year.


Jimbo5,
The masked attendees you're referring to, are already embeded  in the anti-Trump protests, you know it, we know it, we've seen them on those videos, all dressed in black, burning police vehicles, braking arms and legs of  passerby persons, they are the new industry of paid anti- American protesters.


Who made SYRIA America's enemy?


Taxpayers are covered by the boost to the macro environment. CMHC has been bank rolling the first time market for decades. Stick to politics G&M; economics is beyond your editors.


It's a continuation of a tax increase and a sneaky way around property tax limitations!  When is it going to end?

This bond measure isn't about streets, it's about freeing up money for PERS.


Agreed.  Tenants should have some representation but it should not excuse any rent that is owned as landlords have their own costs to cover

Business can be tough but it shouldn't be fair by the law


Clearly a tactic we should use in our senate/congress to rid it of obstructionists.


Under the terms of ANCSA (which, remember, was passed to pay Alaska's original inhabitants for the land that was stolen from them) they are entitled to free medical care.  Suggesting that indigenous people should move from their homes to a foreign city after a century and a half of mistreatment in order to receive the services to which they are entitled to have delivered in their village is, quite simply, racism.


The young actors are clearly not a threat to Canada in any way, and there is no rational reason for denying them entry that has been given by the government.  If the government genuinely believes that they would apply for asylum in Canada, they must also believe that there is a good reason that they would need asylum, and should consider granting it on that basis.
I have seen the government repeatedly deny visitors' visas to Cubans as well over the years, again with no valid reason except perhaps to please the Americans. Yet they allow many more undesirable people entry because they happen to be born in the right country. Time to stop this disgraceful discrimination.


"The point of dialogue is to clarify these truths and explain them; not question them repeatedly until one gets one's own way."
That is not what happens in many cases.  Faced with the choice of following Jesus or worshipping a Church, many people with no interest in worshipping a Church,  stop questioning and just walk away, going wherever Jesus leads them.


I agree that freedom of expression should be protected. However Ms. Khan is attacking a group that is unable to protect itself without violating politically correct standards. That is inherently unfair. Therefore, if "privileged whites" are not allowed to defend themselves, Ms. Khan should be restricted from targeting them. Equal rights for all, special privileges for none. Play with the cards you were dealt!


No President in America's history had been demonized as much as trump has.  This is a campaign by the Progressive Democrat News Media to over turn the election of Trump!
Trump has been the subject of a relentless hateful campaign by all the Liberal Democrat Mass Media.  It is an assault on this country, the American Voters, and Democracy by the self-centered, mean and hateful Left.  Basically this is an attempt to over throw an elected government.
Trump should stay the course!  Decent people, moral people,  should boycott all Left Wing Communist News Programs.   Read a book!


Just-in-case anyone wants to know. My friend recently found affordable reant at www.ashiro.ca. He just signed for its rental alert service (which is free by the way) and within two weeks he found a good place.


The al-qaeda members were sued under the US anti-terrorist act (ATA), including Omar's father, Ahmed.

Damages under the ATA are automatically tripled.

Breakdown was $31.5M to the Speer family ($1.5M lost wages, $10M pain/suffering, $20M to widow & kids

$5.2M sought by Morris and family - $2.7M awarded ($200K lost wages, $2.5M pain/suffering)

Triple these amounts and you get the $100M+ figure

Note that the posthumous pain/suffering amount to Speer is roughly equivalent to that received by Khadr.


Thank you for the compelling post. I love it when you guys troll. Tells me Im saying all the right things.

Not just this article, a lot of them. If you cant see the Denver Post is WashPo West, then youre either blind to it or just dont care.


Do you have open carry?  No.  Do you have concealed carry?  No.
Therefore, you have....no carry.


I get a real kick out of the so called "progressive elite" who berate CEO pay and then turn right around and award multi million dollar golden parachutes to football coaches.  Incompetent football coaches.  Epic hypocrisy.


Only three villages, along with Chilkoot Indian Association, have signed on to this, right now it's much ado about very little


AM does have a lot to say. Well, over and over and over and over....AND over again :)


IRT "... why wages aren’t rising,"  It is a numbers game.  If your business model/plan goes with a percentage allocation and your labor runs at say 25% .... well then all of the other expenses will affect that number.  It is all interrelated.  The biggest unknown variable is often the income side.  With more and more money going to the government in taxes it is hard for the private sector to keep up.  I know lots of people whose goal in life is to get a government job.


fading as usual?


How about banning terrorists?


"Sexual assault usually happens in private without witnesses."

That's a self-referential assertion. Correct but not helpful.


NOT kosher -- "Liking" your own post!!!!!!


"Multicultural sensitivities should never override gender equality"
Islam, xianity, and judaism are predicated on gender inequality.  Islam more so than the other two.


As usual. lots of Dem comments. Dems praised Comey when he let Hillary off the hook for her illegal handling of emails, then objected to his comments criticizing Hillary just before the election. Let's face it. Comey was a loose cannon. Trump doesn't need a loose cannon as Director of the FBI. Good decision to make a change. Trump is really upsetting all the career politicians with his decision making. Notice how politicians change with the wind. Worse are the MSM commentators; they seem to be losing it. Drain the swamp.


Businesses in Colorado operate according to law, including the Public Accommodations law which does prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The baker, as I understand it, sold customized wedding cakes.  The law, as I understand it, and I am not a lawyer, says that a business must offer the full range of services and goods to everyone and can not discriminate.  I don't know what your statement here means: "Because it's not based on sexual orientation." The baker said he would not make a customized wedding cake because it would be for a gay couple, and he was refusing to provide the goods and services of his  customized wedding cake to the couple because they were gay. Wedding cakes are for marriages.  Please read the law.  Here is a link to the law: http://www.lpdirect.net/casb/crs/24-34-601.html

In my opinion, if the baker and his supporters did not like this law, then they should have worked to change - either by lobbying the legislature or putting it on the ballo


Evan, there is no straw man in the comment I presented.  If you think so, I'd like you to present your definition and provide an example of that in my comment.

The agenda and the hate this article tried to create is just troubling.  If you're pro-oil or not, both sides want what's best for the environment given the long term damage it causes to all parties.  Critics and the industry have moved in such a positive direction over the years; saying one side doesn't need or want the other party is just wrong given the progress.


The ol heavily edited argument. Don't believe your lying eyes.


It would be a beginning, anyway.


I hope she is awarded the settlement. Safeway has no regard for it's customers. They have managers that have been known to falsify statements in litigation.


Religious extremism can only exist in the presence of religion.


Bottom line is supply side economics failed. Lowering taxes did not produce the increase in revenue that supply siders predicted. You can't cut taxes, increase spending and balance the budget. Reagan and W proved it in spades.


When Lindsey Graham is considered a RINO, you may want to consider who is left as a "True Republican".  You guys seem to be running out of "True Republicans"


Is this what we've come to - creating fake-definitions to go along with fake-news?


Hopefully a NDP-Green coalition,  will today be running the BC Government and will clean up the BC Liberal cesspool of money laundering, fraud and tax evasion resulting in the implosion of the Vancouver housing bubble .


Reading the article, I'm thinking "gosh, how is somebody going to make this about immigration?" And then, you did! I should never doubt the gumption of the people of the USA. You seem to have a well-defined, on-topic and clearly-delivered message. Kudos, Patriot.


The Dutch don't have the illusion / delusion that oil is going to be cheap and abundant forever.


There are 5 permanent members on the security council and they all have a veto.  China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States - the countries that are seen to have won WWII.  There are 10 other nations elected for 2 year terms.

Harper was  a typical right wing/neo conservative politician who sneered at the UN.  Then he decided, late in the day, he wanted a seat and engaged in the most cynical of vote buying ploys. Still lost the seat.  Then blamed Ignatieff.

Possibly a good thing Harper didn't have a drop more power than he roundly abused in his nearly 10 years as PM.


My only additional traits would be Respect and Dignity.


Here's the thing, unless the government can make the legal Mary-huan-na convenient to buy, of high quality and low enough of a price there will always be other options like dispensaries and the black market - regardless of the law. Let's face it, growing good pot is a lot easier than making your favourite wine or scotch.


I would take Pitts more seriously if, just once in a while, he would pontificate on something other than the poor downtrodden black gangster...er sorry I meant black victims. Unfortunately that is something he cannot do.


Wonder how many dissenters,, like Linzen, are on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Environmental Research Letters.


Clearly the Washington BEZpOSt is desperate to turn the Tide in Alabama.  Reminds one of Gore and the DNC trying to erode Bush's support due to an 11th hour DUI leak.  It really ginned up the GOP support.  The same thing will happen in Alabama.  Voters there will see right through the Washington ComPost.

Here's why:  When it comes to President Trump's word vs. NY Times I'll go with the President every time.

And when it comes to Judge Moore, soon-to-be Senator Moore, vs. Jeff BEZpOSt I'll go with the Judge/Senator every time.


Sheema certainly gets to the heart of the matter regularly.

I especially liked previous columns about the evils of drink, and anything else western.

On thinking about it, perhaps that explains how "certain types" of truck drivers seem to regularly lose control amongst crowds of westerners and plow through them by the dozens - they had alcohol forced on them.

No other plausible explanation


May I pose a question? Has anyone been paying attention to the turnaround in Michigan?
There is some great things happening. Thoughts.


Put the city of Springfield under the spendthrift thumb of its larger dis functional neighbor?  Why would I want to do any such thing?


Imagine your kids getting out of college, finding good employment, and starting to make not $40,000 but $50,000/year - so 100,000 for a family.

How is this young family able to purchase a house in Toronto or Vancouver?

I am a first generation immigrant to this country - and after answering this question I decided to tell my college going son to consider going back to Europe.

The Canadian dream is dead and smells funny.


How do you set that thing to disregard the severe background noise you must give off?


By the oil industry, more likely.


Well we really do not need to lock people up for smoking weed.


It's time for the era of Munoz reign in Juneau to be put behind us. Alaska needs a better legislature.


So, an American amasses a huge arsenal, including automatic weapons, kills 58 people and wounds hundreds in Las Vegas and Trump does… absolutely nothing. One immigrant of Islamic background, who was radicalized WHILE IN THE US, kills 8 people in New York and Trump swings into action immediately to attack immigration and immigrants in general. Such sickening hypocrisy and ultimately  useless other than to cynically stir up his racist base.


These "major party" candidates never seem to be honest enough or decent enough to gain the trust of the majority of the voters.  They are basically a waste of everyone's time and tax money, and they don't sound that good even on paper.  If ever there was a time for an third choice, this is it.  Google: "Gary Johnson"


Sounds complicated. Here's another way to eat healthy:
Eat roughly equal parts carbohydrates, fat and protein
Eat your veggies
Chose the food from the farmer down the street, not the PC box.
Get off your couch and do something.

And you don't even need a calculator to figure it out.


Ask your friend if he thinks our own government flew the airplanes into the World Trade Center on 9/11. Ask him if he thinks the oil crisis of 1973 was a fake. Ask him if he thinks the 2nd amendment to the Constitution is THE most important thing in the Constitution.

If he answers yes, he might be suffering from paranoia. He probably needs help.


Maybe find a service that live transmits your wedding for your friends to be there from afar. My husband and I used FB live to broadcast our wedding to family and friends all over the world. Everyone loved the idea and soo many people watched it.


STO...your comment I referred to specifically stated you are living at 200% BELOW the poverty level.  I remember it because another commenter called you out on your claim in a related comment. It's completely impossible for someone to live at 200% BELOW the poverty level.  In fact, the information you just linked to describes people who live at up to 200% of the poverty level which is possible because it means their income is 2 times the poverty level.  Obviously you don't understand the difference which I find to be both funny and sad.


Our debt/ GDP ratio is flattered by the surplus in CPP.

On a Gross basis , we are over 100%

Just because other countries manage their finances badly is no reason why we should - and there are about ⅓ - ½ of the OECD countries running budget surpluses


Vouchers please!!!


If it is not political why was the first move by the NDP/Green was to fire the Director and put their preference in place?


Thank you Democrats for pushing this over the edge. No reason for Trump to even try and nominate someone from closer to the middle of the road. With Ginsburg at 84, Kennedy at 80, and Breyer at 78, Trump will more than likely nominate at least one more justice and probably multiple justices. In your haste to try and debunk anything Trump and get revenge for Garland, you have now brought out the nuclear option over what was a closer to the middle of the road Republican nominee who was pretty much given the thumbs up by even left leaning judicial watchers.


Pieces of cowardly scum , both the killers and witnesses who helped it up.


Still concerned about the pass protection.  True, we were playing against Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, two of the AFC's best pass rushers.  But Trevor still was running for his life quite a bit of the time.  And how good is Garett Bolles?  We'll find out next week against Dallas.  Still, it was nice to beat the Chargers, and I hope we play a lot better in our next game.


I hope you weren't referring to me.  I have statistics to back me up.  I also have the dubious honor of having tried to "engage" in enough conversations with Trump supporters to know there is no conversation to be had, for the most part.  Finally, I recognize your online moniker.  Why don't do answer your questions as they apply to 99.9% of your posts?  If you think your online behavior is "tiresome and sad," quit behaving that way.  By the way, an ad hominem attack directed at oneself is...sad.


The BC Liberals have famously claimed "climate leadership" while pushing for projects (PNWLNG, etc.) that will blow through their climate commitments without a care.  It is quite clear that the BC Liberals could care a less about the climate.  Remember this in the upcoming election if you care at all about the planet you inhabit and your children.  The BC Liberals only care about their donors and themselves.  Full stop.


Actually, a community has the right to ignore speech they do not like, but they do not have the right to stop it.


Wow. Another out of stater who has never seen a riled up moose. Maybe you should be contacted next time and rush out to move the moose along. My gawd these comments are flippin unbelieveable!!


Muslim radicals kill more Muslims than anyone else. Not a day passes when Muslims are not murdering fellow Muslims.


"Try and f*ck her. Move on her like a b*tch. Use tic-tacs in case you start kissing her.  And just start kissing her. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the p*ssy. You can do anything."


Socialized shipping costs!  What a marvelous idea!  Spread operating cost across the entire customer base.
.
Let's start at Safeway.  The next time you drive to the store and buy groceries that you carry home in your car be prepared to pay a delivery charge to subsidize customers in California who have their groceries delivered to their door.


Two huge gets for the Rockies, especially Jonathan Lucroy. A veteran presence at catcher, one whose numbers will presumably get Coorsified, is not to be overlooked.

The failing is not addressing the rotation. No matter what Jeff Bridich and Bud Black say, if they could have gotten Yu Darvish or another established arm, they should have. Maybe they didn’t have the chips to make it happen or just got outbid, who knows. But if they really believe a collection of kids and no-name hopefuls is going to match up in a post-season series, they could be sadly mistaken.


I hope there is a way for these artists to have their work seen AGAIN in another venue with more mature people.  They have been smeared with the Racist Label unfairly, just like the people trying to see it. I really wanted to see this work!  I was turned away when the gallery was empty!
Please file a complaint.  Some of us have been working for decades to stamp out this kind of attitude that it is OK to lump groups together and discriminate.
Adding wrongs to wrongs never adds up to right.


I guess the CBC is now glad they didn't announce how much they paid for the 2018 Olympic commercial rights. Whatever it was its now worth about 10% of what they paid.


Oh gawd.......


Yes, but Your--not your, Your--Js are not going to continue playing at a .733 clip (11 out of their last 15 games).  Not happening.

Just as they weren't as bad as their 2-11 start, they aren't this good neither.

Atl is not very good, but in the standings, Your Js are but 2 games to the plus side.

These 2 teams, they both sit last in their divisions.  Nobody is disputing that Tor is the better of the 2 teams, but a sweep?  Taking 3 outa 4 would seem 'bout right.  2 outs 3 in Bal?  Possible, I guess.


Don't worry: I'm sure that someone akin to an ethics commissioner will clear them. The fact that such an ethics commissioner might have a family member working with the BC Liberals will have had no bearing on that decision, of course.


Actually, it was a pimped-up, beater 757.  Of all the airliners you can get cheap, beater 757s are one of them,


Good thought.  Beans should require a sign-up sheet for volunteer cleaning by the homeless.  That's the least they can do.


Not significant... almost all of the big costs have come delays by opponents of rail.


Climax is saying it cost to much to treat the water. Cuts into there profits. What is there answer? Put the cost of clean up on the tax payers if they want something as silly as clean water.
Note what The EPA says, "However, EPA regional officials said in the document filed Friday that they would not object if Colorado’s commission “chooses to be more conservative and adopts a more stringent table value standard of 9,000 ug/L (ppb) as proposed by Climax Molybdenum Company.”  Well bless there heart, this EPA thinks the mine is doing you a favor.


Well, hopefully, those Alaskans relocating to Washington State will tell Senator Maria Cantwell and the other congressional delegates to butt out of Alaska business, politics, natural resource management, etc. or vote them out of office!


How about Obama droning 1000's overseas, families, funerals and wedding parties....without the request of the local government.  Is he a war criminal?


You can call this murderer British if you like, but he wasn't British and never could be.


How safe would that be.  I can see a fear of frying as the next issue.


Considering six SCOTUS judges were nominated and appointed in the last year of a president your opinion is a myth.  Would have, might have, could have are all talking points that are not evidence that they did.  You could have made made a post based on facts but you did not since the facts disprove your views. What ever happens this go around will be the future and Republicans can not cry when it the last years of a Republican president.


From 19989 to 2001, the US was the only superpower and had won the cold war and the first Gulf War - under Clinton the economy recovered and the tech boom offered hope for the future.

Republicans of course would look to the Reagan years.

Obama failed in foreign policy - in the Ukraine, in Syria - even Netanyahu didn't respect him. Obama is also being weak on China in the South China Sea and Duterte instead of being eager to get the US on board is actually making overtures to China.

Obama had to clean up the mess Bush left him, but overall his foreign policy has been disappointing.


It appears no one has to sabotage Trump. He has such poor reading (and listening and seeing) comprehension that any innocuous news or casual conversation can turn into a fantastic theory in his mind. He watched a Fox News bit on how Sweden allowed refugees into their country, then interpreted that to mean there was a "terrorist attack last night."

In this case, he probably saw a B-movie on cable TV, then imagined the Muslim ex-POTUS from Kenya was out to get him.

Imagine if Donald watches a movie about cigarettes being smuggled into the US from a foreign country. That could naturally be interpreted in his mind that North Korea just deployed nuclear missiles at the White House. In that case, we can all duck for cover under a chair, bend over, and kiss our butts goodbye!


"You are right but people should not look to the government for help when things hit the fan." Wrong. That's exactly who you should look to. The govt. is responsible for its citizens' wellbeing. Yes, there are things that we can do to prepare, but if the electricity goes out in my neighborhood I don't know how to about getting it running again.


Yeah, just like there is no thriving meth industry in Nikiski, Kenai and Soldotna. What a tool.


Thank you for this. I knew there was something in this empathy vs. compassion talk (not just here but in other discussions) that didn't sit right with me. You've clarified it very well.


Old news.


Better to negotiate...


George Boosh was pilloried by the left and by the media for doing the same thing Obama did.


Too hot - climate change.  Too cold - climate change.  bla,bla,bla.


The truth is she blew it as a performer, also made a poor choice on her perceived political correctness at the wrong time on national Television while millions watched her crash and burn.

8 million watched, most were sickened.

As an artist that works diligently to maintain professionalism, there is no excuse for this and no excuse for her lack of talent, performance ability. That laugh was likely career-ending. she is not that good to be able to laugh at an anthem!
Go to vocal coach school, please! then take a course named "professionalism". Then get your voice to a higher level fast and stop all the drama, Jocelyn!

If Cosby beats the rap American justice will be a sham.


Good question. In one modern use it is someone who, despite evidence to the contrary, believes everyone has good intention(except the opposition) and that no one is gaming the system leeching off the hard work of others. Heck, even if they did allow some of those thoughts to drift through their indoctrinated mind they would dismiss it saying the end justifies the means(like a sociopath would). One can usually sniff out a liberal by reading their posts. I hope this helps. Tomorrow we can go over the difference between forks and spoons.


Good point, but it's actually the Les Murakami Stadium at UH's lower campus.


Yeah, make a consumer bill of rights regarding airline travel and airline conduct.  But also make bills of rights for cel phone customers, cable TV customers, grocery shoppers, and most of all, people in need of medical insurance.  Not necesarily (or at all) in order of priority, but all meriting a good multi-week Congressional hearing..
