The silly thing is you're getting mad at the wrong person. They are working less due to burnout and being attacked by government and now people like you. Provincially MDs are paid less than 50% of recommended fee. Your family doctor is paid $30 for a visit, they keep about $15 after expenses to the clinic. They work 70+ hours/week to see people like you at the expense of their health and family.  Now they're being penalized by the Federal government for putting in more hours..what incentive is there to keep going at the expense of your own health and family when now the government will take 73% of every paycheck. It's outrageous.


Omar and the entire Khadr (self-described al Queda) family have made fools of the Canadian government.
There is no excuse that rationalizes paying Omar $10.5 million.
We must look ridiculous to the rest of the world.


Yes, because Rachel Notley was responsible for the bottom falling out on the world price of oil.  O'Leary seems to miss that very important fact about the Alberta situation.


Do we have indigenous approval for this?


Just another BLM Thug...won't work here..go back when you came from..


The upbeat tone of the column bears no relation to how the game went.  Your Js were outplayed in all aspects of the game, all aspects.  Pitching, hitting, defence, running the bases, fundamentals, power, bullpen.

CWS might be 31-36, and last in the AL Central, true, but Your Js, they are 32-35 in AL East, also in last.  Your Js 3 games out of the WC, CWS only 4.  CWS have a RD to the good by 8 runs, Your Js to the bad by  21.

So now, Your Js hafta win tomorrow to avoid a sweep at the hands of 1 of the few teams in the AL with a worse record than they.  Unbelievable.

And please, Stroman gave up 3 HRs.  Solo or not, that's not good pitching, he certainly did not have a good game.  His game score, for those who take note of such stats, was 46.

46 is not good.  Nothing wrong with being positive, but being in denial is something else entirely.


For God's sake, of course they did.  Why do you think they were hours from taking it to a vote?


Exactly!  You can't condemn one teacher for spreading falsehoods when there is another whole publicly funded school system set-up and based completely upon a fantasy story.


Good questions, and I agree with much of what you say here. I don't agree with the conclusions you draw, though. Yes, the measure doesn't stipulate the amount of the "other funds," and so our elected officials have to deliberate about exact allocations as the budget and revenue picture takes shape. But this is why we elect them. We wouldn't want to do this two years ahead of time on a statewide ballot. And the Measure does provide a constraint. The revenues have to go the designated areas. Yes, other funds can be moved around but the new revenues are strictly designated. A process has to take place.

Does funding alone create a wise and effective educational plan for Oregon? Of course not. But without stabilizing our revenues and our tax structure it will be more difficult for any plan to work.

Finally, I am probably as pessimistic as you about the potential for positive change in our educational system. But I'm going to keep fighting for it. We need the funding to have a chance.


Should 74-year-old Slom lose in 2016, one wonders if being out of office will give him more time to date younger women, OR if his no longer being a state senator will make him less desirable to younger women.  It's one of the many mysteries of Slom.  Perhaps Malia Zimmerman and Slom's more recent youthful paramours will write about this subject on her Hawaii Reporter website.


Aloha, Slu - So 10 congressional committees have participated in hearings on Benghazi, and those investigations have yielded 13 reports. None has yet to identify any wrongdoing on Secretary Clinton's part. You find her "Benghazi conduct" egregious, so I'm curious why you think these investigations, led by some of her fiercest critics, have yet to hold her accountable. Is she manipulating a GOP-dominated Congress and her critics, too?


Dumboski is part of that group in our country that has an elected leader that promotes this attitude. It will just get worse in the next four years. But let's not forget....it's all hidden by a Christian facade.


The numbers and the link I cited were from Oak Ridge National Laboratories, a branch of the U.S. Department of Energy and its largest lab focusing on energy research.

Like many self-styled 'skeptics', you display your own ignorance at every opportunity.


He wasn't elected because he was loved. He was chosen to put a stop to Le Pen. Not that different than Trudeau's landslide win to put an end to Harper.


Indeed.  And wouldn't it be nice if Colorado would be as aggressive in dealing with companies that routinely disregard the law.  Fat Chance!


So robbing banks and homeowners is a better trade off?? Its up the individual to make the right decisions in life to better themselves. But please, lets blame everyone else for the downfall of individuals instead of letting them be accountable for their own actions and choices. That's the American way now.


hey!


He just needed to sell something valuable for more drugs. Now days these idiots pop up daily in our news. Do we need more?


I have mostly confined my activism to writing letters to legislators and media regarding laws and causes that I support or oppose. But I will be joining a protest group on the 21st in our city. I have a friend who uses a cane or walker. She is so incensed about our president-elect's shenanigans that she is attending, and she and another friend have convinced me to participate with them.


Salt Lake City would be perfect!


Not necessarily.  The estate tax (and gift tax) are taxes on the transfer of property.  It is entirely separate from the income tax.  We can have a discussion on the merits or fairness of a tax on the transfer of property, but it really should be a separate discussion from income tax, which is a tax on earnings and profits.  And accumulated wealth that is a result of growth in value or appreciation can entirely escape income taxation when passed to a succeeding generation because of the rules relating to step ups in basis.


So should I infer from your posts Joe that rational think is not a reactionary value? Or is it also the liberals who are deleting my posts? Get a grip.


Duffy was a tool of the CPC which abused the power of government for partisan purposes.
It makes you wonder how long Mr Duffy was a loyal minion? Was it the case while he was still in "the media"?
And Duffy was being loyal to the boss who gave him his job, so the main issue was the payment of money by a party functionary in order to conceal their actions from the people of Canada.
Yet one more example of a failure by the RCMP.


"Trump’s policies threaten Alberta’s economic recovery"

----------

No...

Notley’s policies threaten Alberta’s economic recovery

Wynne’s policies threaten Ontario’s economic recovery

Trudeau’s policies threaten Canada’s economic recovery

Stop looking for scapegoats...own up to what YOU have done.


Sweden has a conservative government right now LOL


May I remind you of my many messages - Colorado will not tolerate your support of this mess so I do hope you've some solid new career plans in place.


Yes, it's a coming-of-age story.


We should learn the word  TAQIYYA. the pious Islamic practice of telling  lies to deceive non believers to promote and defend Islam. . It  is very effect on soft headed liberals.  It is as important to Islam as charity is to Christianity.


Joe, now that you've interviewed the packers, please interview "cow-calf producers."
Neither the NCBA or Colorado Cattlemen's represent cow-calf producers.
Please contact individuals including Bill Bullard (R-Calf), Jess Peterson (US Cattlemen's), and Representative Kimmi Lewis.
Thank you.


Well done Garrison.    I've also noticed that the Prsesident is prone to change his mind.   That's a very good thing.   I not only don't care, but will applaud if Pres. Trump moves closer to some of my values.   The kind of push back Pres is facing from the successful men and women who have careers in government service, is not the same as working with those who depend on you for their wages.

That's a good thing for the President, he needs partners, not employees, to give him the truth.  How he learns the common world most of us live in, will determine his success.    I'm not optimistic honestly, but we owe the next generation hope.


No public money for them either,also tax the venues including golf courses.Two wrongs don't make a right.


This is flying off on a tangent.  I'll just say this:  that this is the first time in my 27 year career when I've received criticism for asking a demographic question.  That's all.  Thanks, Tesa, for at least reading the results file.


in his letter, Wajahat Nasir uses the word "barbaric" to describe Sunday's mosque attack. Indeed. We recall that Kellie Leitch claims to be much concerned about fighting "barbaric practices". So why was her voice conspicuously silent when other leaders rightly responded with compassion and outrage after the attack?


The Republicans say they want their health care/health insurance bills to provide the same things the Democrats wanted when they passed Obamacare. Cut premium costs, offer choices, subsidize costs for those who cannot afford it, cover pre-existing conditions, offer policies that cover things people typically want. And they want more people covered by insurance (noting that do not want insurance companies to leave the exchanges). But just to satisfy a few conservatives, they cut coverage, cut Medicaid,  and cut taxes-- this contradicts what they want to accomplish! Stop the cuts-- they hurt people and only benefit the very, very few who get the tax cuts. Then fix the exchanges-- the insurance companies have suggestions on that, so have some hearings. Then they get a bill like they want!


Non payment of taxes, leads to the most representation for the rich. Payment of taxes amongst everyone else, leads to little or no representation. Seems like a revolutionary concept to me.


Take a break and go swimming at the pool, maybe pee in the water so you can get back at all the military lovers.


I hope you are right about that.
I also hope there is a full scale investigation on all of the shenanigans the Liberals were up to... starting with crown corp debt. Then real estate. Then some of the other scandals.


This is now front page news across the nation. Is that "being a doormat" to you?


Well, feel free to join MADD or any other cause you consider worthwhile. I'm going to stick with trying to pass legislation to tighten restrictions on semi-auto weapons.


You shouldn't need to register the shares directly with the company.  Best to call TD Waterhouse to confirm their policy on DRIP discounts.


Those things don't matter...she has a GREAT STORY about how hard she worked to get out from under the poor choices her mother made. That's all that matters.


Originally natives were backing Brazeau, the beefy bruiser home boy who was going to beat sh!t out of a limp wristed white boy with pretty hair.  Brazeau was the Great Red Hope. Nobody took into consideration Brazeau's smoking.   Tax free native cigarettes get credit for his wheezing collapse in the ring.


What an excellent football game.


No one's going to ask Trump: During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?


I don't agree, it hasn't slowed Kay down at all.  In fact, he is more vocal than ever


I did a project on this in grade school...in 1978!! The fact it is still an issue is pretty disgraceful. It could have been cleaned up for a fraction of the "green" dollars we have squandered on wind and solar projects.


so how do we boost our non resource exports? What do we make/do that is needed by the rest of the world and we do better than anyone else?


Right-o.  Because cops are just such stand up guys and gals.  Keep telling yourself that.


How about we start with Gorka, who is associated with Hungarian neo-Nazis and who wore a medal associated with the Hungarian Nazi collaborators?


Ms. Clark was arrogant and abrasive and brushed Linda off...very rude IMO. I am left of Centre but would be loathe to vote for someone like this...


You are retarded if you inferred any political affiliation/policy position from that article. It states that one should practice good hygiene...


At some point in this squabble, you know the dollar signs popped up in her eyes.  Apparently, the husband was waiting at the arrival site holding up a sign asking if anyone has video of the incident.

They should throw her in jail.


Words fail me.   Incredibly tragic and sad.  Love and support to an incredible family  who knows how to love and live with nature well.


Really ?   What now ?


I am woman of 59, live in  Id. & a good friend of mine lives in FL.. The RIGHT TO WORK STATES.Both pay slave wages. Both states the RICH Corp.& Bus. owners are the one's who profit, while they make majority of people  poor or homeless. TRUMP  look at the statistics, of both states w/people on welfare & or unemployed. Reason being the EMPLOYER can fire you for no reason or make up one, so he is not breaking a federal law on firing. No recourse. Ex: Employed for 10 yrs. HEAD GARDNER, for homeowners assoc. GOLF COURSE,  board members are Rich Calif, transplants. I was a key employee, never  wrote up, was forced to work 20 hours overtime every week for regular pay. Trained  volunteer woman who lived on the course on how to, do my job so they could fire me in 2015. Hired a kid to do the weeding & grunt work, for 9.50 per hr. & eliminated me & pay of a whopping $13 hr. started @7.50 hr All to save 28$ a day. Try living on that TRUMP. Get rid of RTWSL. like Wash. people live good there.


He'd probably be more disgusted with the shrieking leftist media making up fake news stories daily. If anything is true of Thompson it's that he was his own man. I'm sure he would not be blindly following the lemmings on the left over the cliff.


his act is getting so tiresome - you need to vomit after it


While I support initiatives to raise the minimum wage, I do not think that Ellison's proposal here is fair to people who have struggled to purchase a home. His plan calls for decreasing the mortgage interest tax benefit in order to help subsidize low income housing. This punishes and puts the burden on middle class working families, instead of where it belongs . . . the EMPLOYERS who do not pay a living wage to their workers!  Why should homeowners pay for housing because Walmart doesn't  want to pay their workers a living wage?  If you own and operate a business, it is your responsibility to pay your workers a fair wage.  It isn't the nation's responsibility to HELP a business owner by housing their employees!


Yes, let them buy their own.


With Donald gotta be Ultra...#MAGA


What good is it if the average American household income is roughly $10,000 higher if the cost to live is $15,000 higher. Politicians keep promising a higher income but has anyone looked at the price rise of everything except gas of late. I also remember when the high price of gas was blamed for increased costs but has anyone seen the prices dropping lately on anything? This Secy of Treasury helped the banks walk off with billions  and the CEO's walk with millions upon millions.


People are hounding the P uppet M aster on on Social Media, this is his way of trying to "appear IRREGULARY" that he has a handle on it.  It's illegal PERIOD!


he will be best remembered for the taint associated with the airbus scandal


they really expect to get away with the criminal conduct surrounding that illegal contract for the taj mahawker.

what's more, they expect to get paid for it...a lot.

if we alaskans let these people spit in our faces while picking our pockets, there isn't one single crumb of self-respect left to divide among us.

somebody needs to go to jail.  i'd go so far as to say several people need to go to jail.

somebody needs to pay that illegal contract out of their own pockets, if it is, indeed, paid at all.  the public was never represented in the 'negotiations'.

what is wrong with us?  is theft in broad daylight just hunky-dory as long as it is committed by the right people?


BTW, it's very apropos that the clown-in-chief, and typical Faux viewer (AKA, lover of fake news), Drumpf, was involved not JUST in fake television as a game show host for a "reality TV show, he ALSO was involved in fake wrestling.


Lol, you just showed how poor your reading comprehension really is! 3 homes in 2 different countries...is the United States no longer a country? Lmao. The USA (1 country) and Italy (1 country) 1+1 =2. Lol, you either can't count or can't read. Probably both. Anyone that accredits there success or demise to the presidency is just pathetic. If you can't adjust to political or economic changes than you'll never be truly successful. Control your own destiny and stop riding on the coat tails of others.


He was only one year shy of the legal marriage age in Canada, he knew what he was doing and so did his parents. He is a murderer.....no question about it. That money should go to the widow of the man he killed.


"Don't you watch the news or are you one to call it fake news ?"--Try not to argue with the caricature in your head.

"millions of seniors rely on medicaid for nursing home care, yes they are trying to gut medicaid as we know it !"-- Funny how it keeps growing despite all these efforts to "gut it".


B-real, wait... Who are you?  Lol why do you think you matter more than they do?


Republicans are actively trying to take your healthcare away so they can give tax breaks to billionaires.

Facts make you so very insecure that you become irrational and delusional.

No shame in telling the truth, snowflake, it's obvious you haven't heard much of it.


HOORAY FOR OBAMA!

For protecting our environment from the EVIL GREEDY people who only care about money and themselves and don't care what damage (e.g. Prince William Sound) they do!

OBAMA WILL HAVE A GREAT LEGACY!

SHAME ON YOU EVIL OIL DRILLERS AND ENVIRONMENT KILLERS WHO ARE TOO DIM-WITTED TO KNOW YOU ARE ACTIVELY SLITTING YOUR OWN THROAT...DUMMIES!


BTW, last December a talk-how host (CJAD, anglo) invited non-Christians to call in to say how they felt about Xmas, expecting a ot of complaints about feeling like outsiders, etc. It didn't happen, he was inundated with Sikhs, Hindus, Jews telling him they loved Xmas, had a Xmas tree, etc., no matter how much he tried to suggest the reverse...

It is really only a tiny subset of the monotheistic religions that considers it forbidden, a betrayal of their religion to celebrate other religions' holidays. Those people have every right not to do so, but they should stop trying to prevent everyone else from enjoying it.

I celebrated Eid with a family of Muslim friends, and Holi when I was in India, it didn't turn me Muslim or Hindu. Many Muslims from countries that once were moderate and peaceful, nostalgically tell of Muslims and Christians celebrating each others' holidays.


Biagini, isn't that some kind of ham?


The current bill will drastically cut medicaid. It will also make it so that insurance companies, although they won't technically be barring people with pre-existing conditions like before the ACA, they will be able to raise their premiums drastically for those individuals, making it unaffordable, and thus unavailable. Many people will be back to that terrifying spot of not knowing whether or not they can afford the necessary treatment to survive. Many Europeans find it unfathomable that an accident or cancer diagnosis could lead to bankrupcy, whereas, sadly, in the US, that's seen as just the way things are. Pure capitalism does not mix well with healthcare, as people's quality of life, and even lives themselves, hang in the balance. Even if the new bill is trying to keep the government from intervening too much with people's healthcare or insurance, the way the transition's being handled and its current wording will impose far more control & power over people with health conditions.


The study is fundamentally flawed. A construction worker does not equal a cashier.


Canadian ad agencies are just regional branches of American; the clever people are in the United States.  The lack of advertising imagination, here, is embarrassing.  If you want  truly witty commercials and print ads, move to England. Canadian advertising staff are Toronto and Vancouver plodders.

PRESIDENT ZUMA AND AMNESTY: Amnesty is usually used to express "freedom" and the time when prisoners can go free.
Since President Zuma has never been charged by the court of law, nor his life in danger, amnesty seems to be far fetched.PRESIDENT ZUMA AND AMNESTY: Amnesty is usually used to express "freedom" and the time when prisoners can go free.

Don't be so sure.  He didn't get into the WH by not knowing how to manipulate the media.  Actually, this is one of his classic tricks.  Blast out some outrageous tweet to misdirect.  It won't hurt him with his true-believers.  They eat it up.

Like Edwin and credibility should be  spoken in the same sentence.

Edwin's comparison of the Volt and Cruze is a bad joke, like all his comments. You can't find a single automotive journalist making such a dumb comparison. Only in Edwin's small little world is that viable.

Poor Edwin has been shell shocked as of late because all those comments he has made about GM being so evil and bad have been proven to ever so false so now he is dreaming and scheming his new forms of entertainment.

Now he can't even cover up his deleted comments anymore because this new format tells you who deleted them. Edwin's little comic world is fast coming to an end. Nobody believes him, people cut him to ribbons, and now he can't cover his tracks any more. Isn't life grand Edwin.


No it isn't it's an illegal head tax not allowed by state law the Oregon constitution on. All the exemptions violate state law section 32 of the Oregon constitution on uniform taxation in the territory area. The penalties for non payment violate Oregon state tax law on only being able to charge a 5% penalty per year for non payment. Big deal they have said that for years about the IRS and I still haven't received any bill in my name for non payment after 5 years proving how inept these collectors at the revenue bureau are.


"This is really hard."

It appears it might be.  But maybe not THAT hard. Even if it is, better to know now (" Mr. Trump’s administration must provide 90 days’ notice to Congress outlining its aims in trade talks before kicking off negotiations.") than by being gob-smacked at the table later.  "Dear Americans, thanks so much for the "heads up"...

"I don't envy negotiators."

As bizarre as it may sound, some canuck negotiators might be eager to sit down and "square off" (or something) with the Americans across the table.  As weird as it may seem to most of us, some people RELISH the fray. They may walk into the room with a bunch of "and another thing!" and "or by the way..." requests (err...demands) of their own.  We don't know, and that's as it should be.  Shhh...maybe we've got negotiators who can't wait to do a little gob-smacking of their own.

If worst comes to worse, we might console ourselves that, "nothing is forever."  A parting shot might be: "see ya in four years."


Um, the Creation Museum is in Kentucky, in the South.

Cincinnati is in Ohio, in the Midwest.

You have to drive about 20 miles out of Cincinnati to get to the Creation Museum, which is about the same as driving from Vancouver BC to Blaine, Washington, USA.

Not to mention that the major airport in the region is in Kentucky, closer to the Creation Museum than is to the city of Cincinnati - so it is unclear why inbound travelers would be landing and then driving north across a state line to Cincinnati if their goal is to visit the nearby creation museum.

The museum Cincinnati is famous for though is its art museum, which is superb.

Did somebody run over your cat in Cincinnati? Is that why you spew hate against the place?


Holy shit, this article is way too casually written. Phenibut can ruin your life with its severe withdrawal. Adrafinil can completely transform your personality, making you antisocial and self-absorbed.


you mean like CNN caught on tape saying Russia is a nothing burger but it boosts ratings


Public Auctions are public and all of them are PUBLICLY advertised on the government websites and in local papers. What's even more hilarious is that the (D)onkey PUBLIC officials didn't bother to check that their own a$$es were being auctioned off!


When you go to another country and break the law, you get what you bargained for.


This piece fundamentally misunderstand the data. Republicans are included in the "all adults" data. So the swing among Republicans created the swing in the overall total data.  This argument is like having a basket with half apples and half oranges, and saying "It's not just the apples, half of the whole basket is red fruit!"


Wow how did Elway become involved in this?  Give the guy a break, drafting is tough.  Just look at Pats coach Bill Belichicks draft record and you will feel better about Elways.


Trudeau is just another Cadillac communist.  He admires the head of a regime that put any vocal opposition people in jail.  They still do.  He admires the head of a regime that confiscated the property of not only Americans and Canadians but also Cubans.  Trudeau is likely an admirer of Joseph Stalin and Idi Amin as well although it is unlikely  he would eat his critics if he could, he would only imprison them.


"didn't like the optics"
Yeah, looks pretty much like that necropsy being held at Kincaid.

Does anyone believe a word these leftist hacks have to say about anything?


Actually because she is in the Senate she did not in fact vote for Ryancare. There is so much that is bad and nothing that makes premiums or deductibles go down for Alaskans that I hope when she gets done "studying" the Senates version of ryancare/trumpcare she will make a decision based on what is best for Alaska versus the party. Tough time to be in her shoes when you have to be subservient to two goons like McConnell and trump.


So what stops Trump from demanding a recount in New Hampshire?


Arpaio is as much of a horse's -as as the moron who pardoned him.


Anyone who voted for 0bamacare should have left office a long time ago. Thanks to your poor judgement, Ed Perlmutter, millions have suffered. Good riddance.


She should know, she was there.


If the author of this article was not a biased liberal, he would have reported that TOTAL State spending....all accounts...all funds...did not go down.   State spending is unsustainable and when legislators refused to even cut their personal chef, that was the first clue the income tax was only about increasing spending.   Second clue was how the income tax proposal grew from $200 million to $700 million since last year.


Think she has to get with life and reality. Move on if you can't accept that, and leave this guy alone.


Please show me chapter and verse in the New Testament where Jesus Christ advocated "sack and destroy entire cities".  I believe you don't know the difference between the Old and New Testaments.


She certainly doesn’t hide her SJW stripes when she starts explaining why you “can’t” discriminate against white people. She deserved that comeuppance.


"Dirty people from dirty states" -- you mean like the UO students who trashed campgrounds at Mt. Shasta last spring?


Why do we need an FBI or any other investigators when we have the NY Slime to tell us everything? It is inconceivable that so many people believe all the Slime prints.


Such BS reporting, candy for gun-haters.


For once Thomas, I agree with you. I'm going to run out and buy a lottery ticket today.


Think that Thornton's proposed rules are tough, wait until the fracking industry tries to come back in to redrill those old wells in the RiNo neighborhood or out on the southwest side.

Might as well just give up on urban fracking as industry costs are going to go through the roof well beyond any chance of profitability.

In-fact, it look like from some of the comments here that what has been going on is conservative anger against Metro Denver's liberals.

If you want civil war so badly maybe we should have it, either that or have the urban Front Range secede from right-wing Colorado so that we can enact our own laws firmly protecting urban residents health, safety, and property values from an angry conservative-led industry run amuk with the full support of Colorado's conservatives.


No one gets bombed, simply for being different. The word racism has been so overused and incorrectly used it has virtually lost all of it's thunder and is completely ignored by a large number of individuals. White guilt just isn't working anymore, time of new insult.


You have given an explanation for why we have street gangs. They are following your advice and take their lives in their own hands. They show the same level of compassion as the police that hunt them. They even pay for their own guns and bullets. We pay for that stuff for the police. By your definition the police are socialists.


Is this young lady for real ?...


I've always wondered about "women's nights" at bars.  Isn't charging one gender less discriminatory to the other?


I've been skeptical myself, but I do see one potential scenario:
A frequent criticism of wind and solar energy is variability, and the need for an agile grid to absorb excess generation.

Consider the scenario where a region's wind production is greater than the grid can absorb; flipping a switch on plants to electrolyze water for H2 production would be a quick way to absorb that excess generation.


That suggests they're not buying a large enough tract of land


More like not incur more debt with little in the way of return for the American taxpayer.


Please simplify it. Just ask Coghill if he balanced the budget yet, or is he kicking the can down the road for another year, while he seeks to stay in office, rather than do his ONE enumerated constitutional duty to pass a budget that`s funded,.. not stolen from future Alaskans.


He also did not say the French or British should not have them either. Israelis don't threaten their neighbors every day with nuclear annihilation and broadcast daily recreations of blowing up Arab cites. Sorry you see no difference between Israel and North Korea- Guess that is what crazy hate of a people will do to you.


Beautiful work.


Alaska should concentrate on right-sizing the bloated state government.  After all, the state was able to provide adequate state services with 60% of today's state workforce just 15 years ago.  Alaska should reduce the number of state workers by 5% every year until the level of workers reach a reasonable level.


Lisa is smart, grounded, realistic and knowledgeable. She's the right choice.


Um...yea sure.


What isn't mentioned but was on the KHON2 news, HPD Cpl. Mark Ramos retired from the police force last week. Coincidence maybe, but retiring just one step above the lowest officer rank? Why so early? Something that might raise an eyebrow or two considering what's been going on in HPD.


Kurt Corey showed a gentle kindness that made one think about his style after an interaction. Like remembering what someone said and later smiling, Kurt's mellow personality was something I reflected on from time to time. And he did this despite the challenges of running a department with a focus on transportation - an area with many strong opinions.
It's difficult to lose a team leader such as Kurt.

What's in the briefcase?


SteelTown2017:  The difference being of course that when Trudeau is finished his um's, he either reads well, from well-written pre-prepared notes, or improvises coherently. Trump blusters like one of those inebriated, boastful, business louts you see sometimes who have lingered on past happy hour, offering unrelated blurts, WWF-style facial expressions, and non-sequiturs that accumulate, until a pattern family does emerge: each comment is designed to prove how amazing he is.  The styles could not be further from "being on par."


First, I don't appreciate the name-calling.  Had you read my notes they and most others have nothing to do with who won.  Winning is about  the electoral college and I accept that.  But it is not up to us to prove your far fetched theories wrong.  It is up to you to prove them right.  We have 50 states' certifications of vote counts on our side.  What do you have?
My concern was never about who won, which you would understand if you read my comments.  It's about the use of wildly inaccurate illegal voting accusations as a pretext for restricting voting rights by eligible citizens in the future.


In the summer, when illegal camping is at its worst and there are an excess of "travelers" in our town, The Mission typically has beds available and does not operate at capacity.


forcing all car buyers to pay for manufacturer installed backseat alarms is overkill and would take a few years to implement.
.
right now, parents can purchase proximity alarms. the transmitter can be attached to a baby's clothing and the parent can carry the receiver or sync to a smart phone. if the predetermined distance is exceeded between the two units the parent's alarm sounds. works for kids in the car, in a store or out in a park.
.
much more economical for parents to purchase proximity alarms than to force the installation costs onto all car buyers.


Have we as Canadians yet accepted the reality that the Crimeans wanted to join the Russian Fed?

1. Autonomous Republic of Crimea - Join Russian Federation - 96.77% - Voter turnout: 83.1%
2. Sevastopol - Join Russian Federation - 95.60% - Voter turnout: 89.5%

Just asking.


"Speaking objectively, all those who have sexual relations outside of valid marriage, whether they are heterosexual or homosexual, should not receive Holy Communion unless they repent, go to confession and amend their lives.  This includes the divorced and remarried without an annulment, as is well known from all the recent media attention on that issue.” (Bishop Paprocki)

Why not read the article?


it was her normal janus (two faced) session in her hotel room. i heard they had to grab her and get a shot to calm her down to call trump! lol


there are many public officials that abhor walking in a Pride parade but because the fear of being called a homophobic or even losing their job they hold their noses and smile.


Send some Punahou kids to patrol the area. They LOVE outdoor activities...

Have we all not learned by now:
-

--If its a Liberal interest and if its championed by Trudeau- it's ill advised , inappropriate and bad for Canada and Canadians--
-
 "In the past election campaign, the Liberals made many irredeemable promises to Indigenous voters, such as adopting the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Rights. Now, instead of impossible legal changes, they are offering words – and words matter in the long run. As the great philosopher Thomas Hobbes wrote,
-
“Words are wise men’s counters, they do but reckon with them, but they are the money of fools.”
-
-
The modern take home circa 2017?
-
-
The Liberals have no wise men to offer anyone value  - and all who have placed their trust in them have had their money squandered and been made to look like fools-
-
The wise men it seems left Ottawa with Mr Harper


Your 'plain fact' misses the point.
Christie Clarke will be Premier until the next election, and the NDP is still in the political hinterland.


WATCH: Seth Meyers Explains How The Mercers Really Control Trump
Remember when Trump kept telling us he would "drain the swamp" because he was so rich, he wasn't beholden to donors? Ha ha, good times!
Seth Meyers did a little primer last night about the money connections between Steve Bannon, hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, and his daughter Rebecca.
react-text: 568 He described how Bannon used wealthy donors like Robert and Rebekah Mercer (who fund /react-text Breitbart.com react-text: 570 ) to support extremist congressional and Senate candidates across the country. /react-text

Mr. Cunningham, I'm glad the state is finally dealing with one of the drugs that Alaskans abuse to the point of addiction. However, stating that opioids have the same pain killing effectiveness as acetaminophen and ibruprofen is ludicrous.  While I agree that both generics are powerful drugs there is no comparison with opiates if any strength. If you truly believe they're comparable, then opiates should be available over the counter, as Tylenol and Advil are.


So for Judaism we want tolerance but for Islam we want to exclude them all!

Me thinks the fox is in the hen house.


yes it is; if you claim special services, you need to back it up. i am like so tired of these morons taking their dogs in to the grocery store, buying fake vests/certificates. that should be a crime.


Could it be...

...."The Liberals have decided they have taken enough heat from the progressive left for backing Trans Mountain and they have no intention of risking seats in a province where a majority oppose Energy East, and where the next election will be won or lost — namely Quebec."

Ah, the old double standard, alive and well in Canada.


I believe what you are referring to is a period of inquiry by the older observant Carmelite order involving Teresa, her friends, and reforms. A body of resolutions was adopted at the general chapter at Piacenza forbidding all further founding of convents and retirement to one of her institutions. She obeyed and retired to St. Joseph's at Toledo.

The general chapter at Piacenza was not one of the inquisitions.

Nor was it particularly surprising to leave alive - death penalties were rare even among the harshest of the inquisitions.

One of the biggest differences between her and some of the better-liked "heroes" by some on this blog is that she was obedient and quiet.


Toast Millions of people flee and not all from war zones but all not willing to fight for their rights. There was sufficiant support by western countries if these people had stood up united instead of forming untold groups each wanting to take their turn at the trough.


All Americans including the FBI demanded to see Hillary's 33.000 emails as required by Law, and private citizens tax returns are private, and remember, the President trump is a private citizen at Law.


From my experience of 3 Chrysler products I would never touch one again, my Toyota lives up to their reputation of quality. The Dodge van was a disaster, shuddering transmission, engine knock unless you put premium gas in it, Chrysler dealer would alternate between "they can't hear the knocking" and "that's normal knocking" air conditioner that whistled and blew out mist. SE trim badge were not attached to vehicle on delivery. Spark plug failure going up Hamilton mountain leaving the vehicle crawling at 20 kph.


Will they now prosecute this rotten cop for his false report? Will EPD now fire the cops who witnessed the beating and did not step in to protect the citizen who was being beaten? Will they be prosecuted?

We all know the answers to these questions. The corruption at EPD will continue. Let's not forget that Chief Kerns was one of the people who attempted, unsuccessfully, to cover up the rapes committed by two of his cops just prior to becoming chief.


Don't ask such difficult questions.  We have a totalitarian science minister who will not tolerate dissent.  How liberal of her.


Bob,
This is absolutely about the wolf- and the bear, and the wolverine. It is not only tourists or businesses that want these animals to thrive in Denali, other Alaskans beleive this is important, as well. It's great that you live in the borough, I'm surprised someone who lives so close to a National treasure like Denali NP does not take more pride in it.
I am an Alaskan, and a conservationist, and a hunter. The wolves in Denali National Park have been reduced by hunting and trapping- not by development. They didn't relocate, arial surveys confirm the reduction in the number of wolves. Like hunting, wolves and bears are part of the heritage of Alaska. We need to ensure that wolves remain visible and viable, this is especially important within Denali National Park. What is Alaska without these predators? It is no longer wild, it is a farm for ungulates.


The numbers prove just one thing.
It is impossible to drive responsibly and safely while high, on anything that is!

But who knew ..... jk !


I think so, but I don't really know and I don't know how to find out. In fact, I don't want to find out.  I suppose I could have said "have our female and male leaders stopping beating their husbands/wives yet" in order to be inclusive.  And I do believe in being inclusive.  I am glad my German ancestors were welcomed in this land many generations ago, so many generations ago that we had lost our Germanic accent by the time I was born.  So we survived World War II without incident.  And we should welcome those whose presence motivated the 3 Homer City Council members to make a political statement, appropriate or not.  We human beings seem prone to use whatever political platform is available.  But labels don't always work.  Years ago I knew a woman who loved to take conservative stands on this or that issue, but I learned that when we put good Japanese persons (who happened to be citizens) in concentration camps, this woman was on the front lines of providing help for them.


Witness the Vancouver School Board.  A refuge for NDP hacks, it was fired after the BC government investigation into harassment complaints from staff.  It sounds as dysfunctional as those mentioned in the article, perhaps more so.


What about the kids that are poor and don't have rich parents to support them financially all through school? You're just leaving that entire group out and acting as if it doesn't exist. When the reality is, that is like 45% of kids in N.B


Seems moderately interesting but affordable only every Wednesday! R180 per person entry fee other days is European charges... and maybe that is their defined visitor! I will go next cold winter Wednesday!

That it cost R500 million is worrying.... even if the V&A picked up the cost... we all paid for it one way or other.


No, I missed that one.  That's something else to follow up on.


Sorry TheWorkFarce, I really am... I''m sorry that we have these, for lack of a better term - left leaning Liberal types, who bloviate for ages on how we need to respect other people/cultures/beliefs/religions... trying to get some kind of sentimental credit for looking out for the 'disadvantaged' of the world, and yet they show no quarter when it comes to someone who wants to voice incisive criticism of that 'left/Liberal' agenda and world view. They want to let dogs bark all night in the backyards, but lest some human should stick a neck out a window to say anything about it, they've got their hatchets ready to chop that off... it's hypocrisy to the ninth.


"Islamophobia is anti-Moslem bigotry, and anti-Moslem bigotry is Islamophobia."

Then why are the Liberals refusing to clarify this in the motion?


You are in the minority politically.   I am really appalled at the fascist streak in American politics revealed by the trumpkin coalition.  Do you think it is just a coincidence that the head pumpkin is the candidate of choice for the kkk?  Step out of the fox news echo chamber.   Trump is a national embarrassment and his followers are only highlighting their own ignorance.  Trump is peak GOP, own it.


Oh boy,  let's  hope he gets Rex Butler. He doesn't stand a chance then!
He's a gonner....


You mean professional leftist of course!


Lead, follow, or get out of the way.  Reichert lead as sheriff and I appreciate that.  As a Representative, he follows - and that means it's time for him to get out of the way.


Before you leave get a copy of  The Citizen's guide to Alaska's Constitution and read it before you return!


"Alec Baldwin for President 2016" , funnier, smarter & he can probably name at least 2 branches of government.  The only thing that makes this election season worth paying attention to is SNL's skits. Alec Baldwin should win an emmy for his portrayal of the Donald, its spot on.


Indeed. On July 4th, not during the OCF, and at a nearby campground. In addition, this was reported by the LCSO but they can't confirm an "overdose" occurred.


What is most puzzling: how does Trump know that all the dead voters went against him? :)


Great post.   Its quite puzzling how certain mundane things are studied and debated for eons but things as large as this proposal seem to slip through into the fast lane.


Our faith teaches us that humankind is in God-likeness, female/ male. (?)
So, are we not, in fidelity to consciousness and conscience, obliged to enlarge human consciousness and grow in understanding our "godself"?


We could be on to something here. Why not use one of the roof tops as an area for all the street drunks to hang out ?  One roof would be enough for all of them.  Have an open bar so they can stay there all day long  , until the evenings hotel stay at Brother Francis.  This would clean up our streets and make life enjoyable for those choosing the street lifestyle. Those who currently enable the homeless with their donations could cover the bar tab.  The only possible downside is that a few people might get thrown off the roof during disagreements. This is a win , win situation.   Just imagine what Anchorage could accomplished had we elected Halcro mayor.


Seneca owns the property so they can do as they please with it, also, where was your "tree preservation plan" when they were cutting down all the trees on 7th to make way for the emx?


It's camp, neither is lighting the world on fire. I'm ignoring the rest of the chatter til' the preseason games. I do like how they have made the QB's test themselves in practice with throws, also like how NFZ is giving them no breaks. Those small windows against the NFZ will be much larger against other teams.

I like the QB battle and all, but I would like to hear more about the O Line.


Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, will Justin be making friends with the PRNK next?

Liberals believe the military industrial complex is more important then human rights and democracy.

Sickening.


Overseas Chinese will very likely be the ones who help overthrow the unelected power crazed Communist Party of China. Most of those who left China did so to get away from the system. 23 million of the 50 million overseas Chinese are in Taiwan and are  mainly Nationalists anti-communists. The people of Hong Kong in their millions detest the PRC commies.


Apparently you never listened to Obama's speeches.


Syllogistic encounters and discourse are fine contests but the living, breathing, messy social and political worlds we live in have never reflected such intellectual problem-solving! In the US alone we can go back to the revolution, the Civil War, our participation in the inane WW One, the flag-fueled. left-right encounters during and since Viet Nam, the Civil Rights era marches murders snd bearings -
It takes activism, toleranance and sacrifice to build a more cohesive world that improves opportunities for all of us, in the now and for those coming along in the future.


Bigly.


American emissions have fallen 20% since the 2005. Meanwhile Chinese emissions have DOUBLED in that same time period.

Under international agreement China has not committed to lowering their emissions by even 1%.

Who is being duped here?


The entire CPC could fit under your tinfoil hat.


So Trump should trust the mainstream media to report the truth? Really? Now I'm laughing out loud.

So why is the RG just repeating WPost articles written for a paper (Bezos owned) that has an agenda? Do they not have the ability in a college town with a journalism school to ferret out real reporting?  Instead, the continual Trump bashing by an often paid segment of the population hosted from the East to the West coast wears so thin that it almost smacks of  yellow journalism.

No wonder the drive for alt news sources are skyrocketing. How dumb do they think we are? Here's to the news!


.
Frank Bruni writes to say he was surprised Trump appeared as if he never really thought any of this through.
.

Hey, Frank Bruni,

…ever read anything about Trump or ever even heard of Trump before he sat down with you?

If you had, you'd know he hasn't really thought anything through.


Thought you were being weirdly creative in your storytelling. You are serious?


I've always maintained that it's not up to the Republican Party to maintain control of our Legislature.  It's up to the non-partisan and independent voters that allegedly out number the registered Republican and Democrat voters.  So whats 's going to be; continue stirring the state off the fiscal cliff under Republican control, or elect a new bipartisan Legislature that won't lock-step vote or throw their own members under the clown bus?


When most of the police shootings occurred, it was a "he said, she said" scenario where it was unclear what happened, there was often no certainty where truth sat in the first hours and days, with multiple contradictory claims being made about events, the truth being elusive.

Sorry, but that REALLY is not the same thing as a racist, out-of-state terrorist ramming his car into a crowd of activists he disagrees with.

Meaning that any reasonable president would have a LOT more of a loud, muscular and judgmental tone immediately after that second scenario, and any reasonable president would be far more measured in the first scenario.


There are several problems with "natural law". There are multiple definitions of the term. One is "the law written in human hearts" (see Aquinas' Summa Theologica, I-II, q 94, art 6.) Another is "what is found in nature". (There is a third, having to do with legal theories.)

In practice, "natural law" can be misused in several ways:

It can mean nothing more than "this is what is written in my heart", which is the same as "in my opinion". Personal opinion is not a good basis for moral or dogmatic teachings.

It can be invoked when the person does not have an actual argument. A good example is in Humanae Vitae 4, which says essentially "we know the natural law, and you will just have to take our word for it". That's not an argument, that's blather.

When it does not actually describe how nature works. Humanae Vitae says that in nature, sexual intercourse is used for procreation. In fact, many of the great apes use it for pair bonding. So the author of HV got it wrong.


Time to leverage C Series engines to drive peakers.


Obviously no "grammar checker" for your headline writer...


why aren't the trumps using internet parental controls


My experience seems to be that Cassy is always over the top (and has a serious case of HDS) whereas Chris sometimes (albeit rarely) will actually criticize the Liberals himself.


Oops. I had alternative information.
I thought that wheat was an annually harvested crop. I thought that trees, which take several minutes to fell, had been growing for decades. So I reckoned that 40 years of growing/a few days of unchecked harvesting = unable to meet demand.


If you're thinking to call The ACLU about this please be patient.  Their phones are extra busy booking flights to Anchorage just now.


Father Reese forgets: Just as Francis was appointed a cardinal by a conservative pope, the next pope may very well be a conservative cardinal appointed by Francis.  Someone from the Third World who will, "with a stroke of his pen," abolish Francis' teachings, as Francis is doing to his two predecessors.

How very soon libs, like Father Reese, forget reality!

That's the way it goes.


I wonder if it had something to do with the drug bust


Wealthy ? I may be able to scrape up enough to swing that, but I am far from wealthy, and some kids deserve a better education, by way of the HARD work of their parents. I am not going to feel guilt for wanting the best for my child, save it for the campaign trail Gary.


Agreed, national search.  Appointing an insider undermines integrity and transparency.


Very surprising that the sentence, "He/she were also charged with possession of methamphetamine," was not in this story. It's in just about every other crime account in the Register-Guard.


I don't know you guys - somehow, I think he's never going to "pivot" into being "presidential", and will always need adult supervision at all times.


Please elaborate on what there is to reassess .
That is a pretty broad , and therefore meaningless, comment.


Yeah, that's how journalism works. A reporter or columnist who writes from a position of "affection" is doing it wrong.


I am surprised that G&M has not closed comments on this.

Turning it over to the RCMP is no guarantee of prosecution or of a meaningful penalty in BC.

Glen Clark was found "not proved" in casinogate, even though Dimitrios Pilarinos was convicted of providing the benefit that Clark was found "not proved" of accepting. The Conflict of Interest Commissioner concluded that Clark was in a Conflict, and that Clark influenced Farnworth to approve the Casino Licence for the North Burnaby Inn.

Under the SoCreds a rushed prosecution of Doman and the Bennett Bros under feeble BC statutes was often described as a way to prevent them from being prosecuted and convicted in Ontario. BC Prosecutors seemed to have a wilful ignorance of BC Tel recording local call metadata between the Bennetts and their stock brokers.

David Stupich got off lightly for stealing from charities, with a mansion built on a former Provincial Beach Access Park the NDP let him buy.


that's a little harsh.
the molten gold gargle would be more humane.


Amazing you feel trolled... Are you upset when someone actually exposes your shallow thought and tepid conviction? Drain the swamp; includes both parties and snowflake apologists... Great to converse


The people have spoken. More jobs and tax revenue for Alaska!


I noticed it right away and I am not even what one would call financially literate.

Wow I though Sarah Palin gave a hateful, blood, guts and gore speech but the dim bulb that's Trump was beyond the pale! He is a terrorist maker, the kind on Imam that riles his flock to action. He only has one tone, spitting, and his plan is to take down our president Ms. Clinton. Why? Because there is not plan, no reality, no there there. He is ill prepared to lead a diverse country, he has no real skills, as he demonstrated over the last four days, and he leads from the example of some of the worst tyrants this world has ever seen...a little gas, my God! Did you hear this quote, he throws a little gas and people overreact. Throws a little gas was the largest civilian murder by chemical weapons since like ever. 5000 die in the marshes of Iraq, more children maimed...a little gas. This one statement makes him unqualified for anything, ever, anywhere!


Oh stop. That's just crazy talk. And by the way I didn't vote for Trump either.


No, we want to attract people who follow the law.  You will have a hard time trying to enter Canada as a tourist if you have a criminal record or even a DUI.

And how do you know her entry two decades ago didn't delay entry for any alien gaining citizenship?  Are the millions here in the US illegally not taxing the US support system?  Does that not limit the capacity of how many can hence legally come to US?

So if someone steals from a grocery store, are you going to argue it's not making anyone else hungry too, so it's okay?


Paging "John Barron"... your fake President in disguise.

Like most true neocons, say or stand for one thing and do the other.

I'm sure you did read it though, because those statistics cited can not be refuted. They are scientifically gathered and extrapolated...cause & effect. Like you say, street people and begging for alcohol money go together.

Just in time for the "Silencer Bill"... head back in the sand.


Yes, I misread the price for the tiles as $76,700, my mistake, but according to the article, they "would cost about $34,300 after a federal tax credit", so we don't actually know what they would cost. Even using a revised investment of $24,300, after 30 years, you'd still have $139,566.84 in savings based on 6% annual growth.  If you divide $139,566.84 by 30, it is $4,652 per year. I'd still pick this option over the Tesla tiles. I'd also add that you probably could get a 30 year shingle for approx. $10,000, a 6% annual return isn't that hard to achieve (TFSA's could be available for many to use too), and no, the risk profiles are not completely different. Warranty or not, the Tesla tiles have a risk profile. As a new technology, we don't know if their output will remain constant over time, nor do we truly know how they'll handle the weather. We don't even know how solvent TESLA will be in 30 years so that is a risk to your warranty too.  TESLA is a big risk with unknown returns.


That is an interesting opinion.

Can you explain why my Oncologist told me to get the Inactivated version of the Annual Flu shot, rather than the Live Virus version?

Given my Immune Compromised state neither version may generate an immune response, but I don't see any reason to say no, other than a possible waste of Public Health Care money for the dose.

Immune Compromised people are the most common victims of ant-vaxxers. Healthy people can usually be protected by vaccination.


Combine City Hall and Courthouse on the vacant lot.


I don't care about all the political stuff-boy do some of these people ever get crabby! - But yes, it's true-about 40 percent of our workforce is people helping and teaching each other.
I do not have a problem with that.
 These people that think they are some kind of heroes because they pay taxes-all those people you listed pay taxes too!


I don't think so, kuroiwaj.  At least, I don't think it HAS to be that way.

And, CONGRESS HAS SO FAR REJECTED THE STATES CONTROL OPTION.

But, I think all Americans should have affordable and accessible healthcare.

So, I think the reactive prominence of single payer healthcare has become a necessary part of the discussion.  Perhaps just to show conservatives how far off the tracks things could get for their dogma unless they wise up.

I personally don't have a particularly large problem with an efficient, well functioning single payer system.  Definitely not philosophically, like most conservatives do (for reasons I either do not understand or abhor).

If your instinct was to frame the "either, or" in order to advance (scare up) opposition to ANY federal involvement in healthcare, then, frankly, I have no respect for that.  But, I assume your point was based on genuine analysis, rather than dogma, therefore, the response preceding.

"2. You allude to something that few on these boards who hope for American decline realize..If the USA, or the "american empire" collapses, they think Canada will be totally unaffected, and just continue to motor on, business as usual..."

No offense intended, but you must be yet another know-it-all by-product of Canada's failing post-secondary educational system because there is nothing to this effect even mentioned in my above post.

What a pleasure to see this team heating up and getting it right again. Fantastic outing for Goins by any measure. Now to prove it wasn't just a flash in the pan. The Yankees look dispirited and disoriented at this point in their re-building process. Waiting patiently for the coming Tor/Bos and Tor/Bal matchups as a litmus test for progress.


Meh, could be worse. I've got teenagers and it's hard to keep them from eating and drinking worse things, like Monsters and Red Bulls. Frito Pies twice a month isn't so bad. If this was the 1950s, they could be selling cigarettes. Even if it wasn't the healthiest, at least teens have metabolism on their side. Fast forward a couple decades, it certainly changes.


I think your internal computational unit ( aka your brain) has some processing issues.


But you need to look at incentives.  Misguided government policies created this housing problem.  By allowing governments to tax problems that they themselves create, you give them an incentive to create even more problems.


A promise of tax cuts for the middle class resulted  in increase in hydro rates and a carbon tax. Go Trudeau go!


China numble one!

People do that because there are "Christians" who openly advocate violence against gay people, and if you have any grasp of history, it is easy to see where fundamentalist religions take these kinds of issues.  Just as it's easy to see where most extremist/reactionary movements go.

Plus, Jerry's been promoting hate in this city on this topic for a long time.  He more or less built his little Baxter Road empire on anti-gay bigotry and it works for him.  If Christians don't want him to be their spokesman, they should speak up and drown him out.


Seriously? If your going to reference made up stuff at least get the date right. It was a grainy video from 2005 and it's already been debunked. I watched it, how about you?

Where was the outrage from the media then?


So, most people here believe that politicians should only allow to be interviewed by like-minded?  Why we question politicians not by what they say, but by who they talk to?  Should not politicians talk to anybody, whoever?


Here we go again. Anonymous sources talking to WaPo copied by DP. Give me a break. Anonymous sources making claims about classified information preventing anyone reputable saying what the truth is. This is a direct violation of the US Constitution and DP applauds that. Throw out this section might as well throw out freedom of the press too.

Does anyone trust the FBI anymore? "Leaks" can go both ways you know and the saying is "payback is a ......".

Does anyone trust WaPo or DP anymore? They publish anything that will feed their base and are now sold by the grocery store checkouts.

Does anyone really buy, pay cash money for DP or WaPo?


Does a country get any say in who its ambassador is?  I betcha she doesn't speak French.


She didn't do anything with classified material. It's stated in the article above.

I'm at this point "scratching my head," wondering why you are blind to the part of the article that explains that.

Of course I have my theories.


Why yes thats it. Its a trump conspiracy. Just think, you are the only one who knows about it! Exciting for you.


Racist comments aren't welcome here, correct?


Experienced hunters who have attended special training classes for urban deer hunting can effectively reduce deer populations in a safe and humane manner. Shooting buckshot or slugs from a treestand is very safe and effective. people die every year from vehicle-animal collisions, especially motorcyclists. What's worse, a dead deer or a dead person, perhaps a family member? Attempting to sterilize or administer birth control has been tried many times and failed every time. A clean kill will provide plenty of fresh, healthy meat for homeless shelters and soup kitchens, also. The original, free-range organic meat....Deer. Happy hunting.


The repeal, limited to a few aspects of Obamacare, was yet another ploy in the GOP's seven-year quest to undo the last president's most notable accomplishment. A health care plan needs to have universal participation in order to spread the financial burden among the widest possible population of the insured, lowering premium costs for everyone. Up to 16 million Americans would have been left without insurance by 2026 under this now defeated Republican scheme. The "skinny" repeal was really an obvious attempt to salvage some type of achievement for a political party whose ideas were otherwise light-weight.


My heart goes out to all Gabe's family and friends. He was a good man and will be missed by many! My condolences to his family.


There is no place for a bunch of Ku-Ku-Klowns in Canada.
In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century an English
three Canadians was a member of the white supremacist organization Anglo-Saxon, WASP equivalent to the United States ("White Anglo-Saxon Protestants").
Four members have been Prime Ministers of Canada;
Sir John A. Macdonald (father of « Canadian Federation » of 1867
but not « Father of Canada » which is Sir Samuel de Champlain in 1608 ),
Sir John Abbott,
Sir Mackenzie Bowell (a past « Grand Master » (?)),
and John Diefenbaker.
In 1927 the “Orange” movement gave birth to a more intolerant and racist group, the Canadian Ku Klux Klan, which had its deepest roots in small towns in Saskatchewan because of the "yellow peril", but also because of the blacks...Jews...Catholics...
(The “Ku Ku Nest” in the province campaigned against= teaching French + wearing the religious habit + the presence of crucifixes in schools.)

Mr. Jirran (I truly do not understand why you would include your educational credentials here, but that's another conversation.....):—Alexandra1

My Ph.D. is relevant to this web site and is part of my name, like the initials of a religious order might be.  Before doing it, realizing there are many onboard more learned and educated than me and that “Ph.D” would be singular, I asked my wife what she thought.  She encouraged me to do it and that completes what I do.  Everyone in a while someone excoriates me for my ignorance all the while having that Ph.D.  But that is ok, part of the deal.


May June and July


I would approach Argentina with "cautious optimism" at best in terms of international investment with the new government.

Argentina has a very long history of poor governance and corrupt politicians.  The political landscape in that country could turn on a dime and what was once a promising investment and development opportunity in that country could quickly be nationalized and turn into a nightmare should a new government take over in the future.  The Spanish ran into this a few years back after the previous Argentina government nationalized their oil company.


Be careful what you wish for.

You may get it, good and hard.


No, "reckless disregard for the truth" comes from the Judge in one of the Libel Suits Ezra Levant lost. Do try to keep up.

You left out streaming videos off Netflix. I really would like to see a solid justification for why gigabit  service is needed. I'll wager 90% of the bandwith is idle most of time or used for unproductive uses.


Picking your teachers is the point with vouchers. And the fixation with religious schools is a little over the top Nero. Private schools serious about reading writing math science and technology could do a much better job without the overhead expense of the out of touch and out of classroom admin that adversely affects the public system. Smaller class sizes, better pay for teachers, parents more involved because they are exercising choice and monitoring progress. All possible with vouchers. If the public system ups their game and becomes viable then parents will take their child and associated funds to the public school. Excellent teachers win students win parents win society wins. Win Win Win Win.


Thank you for your wonderful letter Ursula. You are a model immigrant. Bless you.


Out of curiosity, when you've fired all of these teachers, who replaces them? There aren't legions of teachers to replace them just waiting in the wings, who have a magic wand and turn students around who have failed to perform because of a lazy teacher.

Also, who then would want to work with students with disabilities, English language learners, and schools with a high level of poverty that continually do poorly on testing? Why would any teacher want to subject themselves to that risk of being fired when they inevitably "fail" to meet the standard you've created?

Let's fire a doctor when they have a patient gets sick or dies, and fire lawyers when they lose a case. To hell with the context and other circumstances, or even personal responsibility of students and parents, let's fire everyone! We can raise your taxes to help pay for their welfare since they won't  have jobs any longer.


Better yet, don't even think about it; forget it. Propaganda is an enemy by itself.


The fact that this man wAs a marine and one of the officers he killed was also a marine shows the falling of brotherhood within our military men/women.

I remember when serving your country was a calling and afterwards you regarded the men as your brothers.  "Even though nowadays people try to say capt America and buckey barns R gay because of how close they were, (morons that's called brotherhood because you fought and next to each man and that man covered your ass on the field)".

Now when people serve their country they seem to have forgotten what the core taught them, what they swore an oath to, what they are supposed to believe in.


Actually that's far from true most of these civil suits are sat before a judge not a jury and criminals win more times than you realize because it's not newsworthy


@Taueva, I find it funny that my initial challenge to rail opponents, for them to come up with a realistic solution to what we are really facing, transportation wise, on Oahu, has me now being labeled someone who is "strong supporter of public transit". Let me make clear that notion, I am a person who is a strong supporter of transit solutions. If that includes a public transit element, so be it. What I am looking for is a solution that answers this question - how to move people on this island efficiently, timely and properly with an infrastructure that is designed for a population of 500 - 750,000 when the population of Oahu itself, by 2019 or so, will be one million people with approximately 850,000 registered cars, which will uptick as the population continues to increase.
But to answer your question, my wife and I have one car, and I occasionally use public transit for, among other tasks, going to and from the airport. On the mainland, I use public transit all the time.


take it up with any of the too many Human Rights Commissions in Canada
they love sob stories
i am sure you will be generously compensated
it costs nothing to file a complaint


Leave the first ladies out of it. Trump is President...I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with him daily on any level.


Roamin' Buffalo near DU is spectacular.


Give it a rest, Moscow.


You know that you can call the police if you have a cell phone and report them.  I have done so on occasion.  I even called when someone was driving down Northern Lights about 5 miles per hour.  I used to drive really slow back in the day when I smoked pot.  That was 40+ years ago. ;-)


Please note this is NOT my comment. Someone thought he/she was being cute by usurping my screenname.  I still plan to vote for Hillary and have no questions about her ethics.


Dear Gus,
It was a normal day, but sunny as you mention.  I don't tend to bottle things up, as may be obvious and I'm not even slightly entitled; more of a Calvinist, actually.  I simply have no respect - not a sliver - for people who make THEIR safety someone else's problem.  That extends to drivers, cyclists - the runners of reds, the wrong-wayers, and the casual cutter-offers of cars, peds, and me (worst of all!), the speedy riders on sidewalks - and peds equally.

Similarly, I don't impose on others' rights of way.  That means i don't blast through a gaggle of peds crossing the street lawfully (at a crossing, the only place it's actually legal for a ped to set foot on a roadway), run through a red like it's not there, go the wrong way up a road, change my positioning in a lane in rush hour without knowing what's beside/behind me, etc.  But i don't tolerate people imposing their will on my rights without saying something about it.  Just like now.


Nothing uncivil there.  If they remove it again I will help you make a complaint to the National NewsMedia Council.


I happen to agree with you in several respects. One thing that might be done is to flood the market with more M.D.'s. One thing that is being done is to shift a lot of work to nurse practitioners. We already have multi-tier health care, and that's OK with me - wealthy people get great medicine, poorer people get poor people clinics. Retail procedure costs and imagery diagnostics vary widely in cost from one region to another. Right now the cost of insurance is increasing double digits over last year because of uncertainty among insurance carriers that the ACA will continue to subsidize payments. Apparently that's not a zero-sum game, and total costs will hit less affluent people disproportionately. The Congressional response appears to be to allow high-deductible policies and higher pricing for those already sick.

The notion that the US can't afford decent health care for all is abhorrent to many liberals, while many conservatives want to shut down health care that requires subsidy.


I unlike others have bought health insurance. I do what is right for my family.


"Drummers for his band ..."
How mature.


There is something unseemly about the intense persistence of Arkansas to execute these people.  As someone else noted on a different thread:  it is high time for the US to join other civilized nations and to stop imposing the death penalty.


0bama was way to much of a weak chickens**t to do anything, thus the problem we are facing now.


Ah, the conversation continues... while the pope speaks on a plane women continue to prepare, study, pray and women continue to be ordained.  Bless women in acknowledging their Calls to priesthood.  Communities are being shepherded by women who sit by the bedside and bake the bread and "bind up the wounds" and bless and break and share.   These women, we women, are priests.  And many are called, and always have been.
If you would like to make more priests who happen to be women a reality, contribute to the Women's Ordination Conference scholarship for women discerning ordination. Check it out!  First scholarship of its kind!

I teach in an Eskimo village and Eskimo is how they refer to themselves and they do not find the word derogatory. Apparently the politically correct label is Inuet, but my Eskimo friends will quickly correct you and explain the the Inuit are Canadians and Eskimos are Alaskans and US citizens. The term Alaska Native is more encompassing as not all Alaskan tribes are Eskimo. but the problem with the term Alaska native is that there was litigation in the early years of Alaska's development and it was determined that an Alaskan native is a term that refers to anybody that settled and helped establish the territory and does not designate a race but an Alaskan connection so is applied to more than the  indigenous peoples of Alaska. In some situations a white person is considered an Alaskan native.


[Don’t get me wrong: I am strongly in favour of educating and raising awareness. My mother, Julie Damm, was a teacher. Her mother, Irene Akiwenzie, was a teacher. I have spent a huge amount of my life speaking in schools and universities and working in various ways to live up to my ancestors’ name, Kegedonce, “little orator.”]
There's a bit of a problem here:
[Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm is an Anishinaabe writer of mixed ancestry]

Normally, that would be of absolutely no consequence to me...but since Kateri makes it one, then best she judge herself before judging others.

Now, getting back to who can play the Blues...and indigenous bands doing Hip Hop...


You're NOT supposed to remember that.......


I was able to find his highlights on YouTube and watched it over. You are right, the defender brushed by and gave him an elbow looks like. Thanks for the heads up.


The responsibility of the Federal Gov't is to provide for the general welfare and the common defense, nothing more, nothing less.

This budget is a good start.


Pride rears its head in various ways; one glaring way is not listening (in this case reading with a sincere and open heart) to the actual words given in a response.

I did note for instance that the focus on virtues isn't necessarily a "Catholic Church" thing, and I also mentioned that the Cardinal could use his influence to suggest the implementation of a solid virtues program (not the one where people superficially say "I value you" as they sing Kumbaya) in the PUBLIC schools of Chicago.

Pride is of course a vice, and it is countered with cheerful and near constant acts of humility, until it gets put back where it belongs.

A good spiritual director can listen to someone's use of language, and how they interact and help people to tame various evidences of pride, or vanity, and over love of comfort.

Takes work.

This is the sort of work that is done in a real virtues program.

Pride creates a lot of anger, and other unconstructive responses.  Can really damage relationships.


Ah, yes, but the NDP will not be in power for too much longer!


That judge is a racist and all lefties are racist.


The worry I have , is that this was a " bought deal"  augmented and solidified by hefty off shore Chinese money paid in by political access events


she's not likely to ever to be able to put the money into Serenity Lanes accounts to replace what she took, and it will come to them in dribbles... she'll not likely be able to find a job that requires trust or credibility again. not so say she won't as we've seen too often ...  so, who actually gets hurt  by her theft? the paid employees of S.L.?  the people in treatment?  or seeking treatment?  how could they not miss an average of $4000.00+ a month going out of their pocket? for 5 years? no one was even looking at her work? who dropped the ball on supervising her? they are somewhat responsible as well.
    if i were any kind of donor of substance in this town, i'd take a hard look at where i was putting that money. the U and their money trail must be as long as the oregon trail..


I see you're starting 2017 off on the same declining trend you've been on for a while now. Oh, well. Such is life.


It's too bad there are obsessive bullies who won't allow people to live their lives.   It's a disease that seems to be catching.   These people disrupt legal consultations, medical procedures, other professional relationships, personal relationships and so on.

I don't care if you're CSIS or RCMP or whatever,.... you are breaking the law.  You are destroying at least one life and I suspect have done this to others.

Develop some mantra (like what your Landmark Forum buddies advocate)  that you say at least a thousand times a day that goes something like this:

"I enjoy my serene life minding my own business.   I love allowing people to lead their own lives and I celebrate both their successes as well as my own."

Then go to your little buddies in your "worldwide networks" do a mass e-mail, and send them the same message.

Mind your own business, or take the litigation and/or law enforcement consequences -- you, your buddies and this newspaper.


There you go again.


Well if you've never been, I just wondered how you knew or not if it was a risk doing it. I don't need to troll to get my point across.  I was curious.


My 'statement' not only fully reports Trent, it is a verbatim copy of Canon III, regarding the Sacrifice of the Mass issued by that Council.

Nothing more than a land grab, now offered by a representative of the State.  What a joke.  6 million acres and still not enough land for the wolves.


Trump's Labor Day Message To Workers:

 Screw You!

Trump’s Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta, has a miserable history of aligning with right-wing and corporate interests.

Just weeks ago, he appeared before the annual gathering of the militantly anti-labor American Legislative Exchange Council—along with anti-union zealot Betsy DeVos, Trump’s secretary of education.

Trump’s pick to serve as deputy secretary of labor, Patrick Pizzella, has an even more troubling record than Acosta. A former campaign staffer for Ronald Reagan who has served in Republican and Democratic administrations, Pizzella was once employed by the viscerally anti-union National Right to Work Committee and later joined the firm that scandal-plagued lobbyist Jack Abramoff was associated with before his 2006 conviction on federal charges that included attempted bribery.


MS24, You were so intent on making your own point you totally missed one of my points, i.e., "encourage women and minorities to excel." It's a shame what could have been a useful contribution to the discussion was lost in unnecessary ignorant remarks.


I feel sorry for those stunted, racist kids and nothing but contempt for their parents and other awful authority figures in their lives that are turning these children into backwards bigots most of society has been trying to move past for decades.  Go back to your little, small-minded bubble and stay there.  You're not welcome in modern society.  I hope your cold, racist hearts break while more patriotic NFL players TAKE A KNEE today during games.  America is leaving you bigots behind.


"As the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities exclaims, the “Trump Budget gets three-fifths of its cuts from programs for low- and moderate-income people,” for an estimated $2.5 trillion total cuts over the next decade."  This begs the question as to "Why" Congress and the Presidency continue to think they can "take from those with little to nothing left" and use it to pay down the National debt?  Why continue to take from the neediest in Society, a segment of the popluace that seems to be growing, while the middle class eems to continue to shrink.

"They (Americans) just don’t want a party to come in and say, we’re going to take more away from you." Well that seems to be what Republcans continue to do, take, take, take; never seeming to want to give back to the society which they are supposed to be representing.  You never see legislation from the GoP to tax the wealthiest, as it seems they prefer to continue to pile taxes on the middle class and poor, preferentially!


HI:So 20K (incl daycare)per year after tax money.So if you aren't making at least 35K  (more like 40K)its not worth working.
Put in a huge mortgage(with interest rates rising) and I can see money woes on the horizon for many young(and not so young) couples.
Ma and pa could be called upon just at the time where they need those fleeting dollars.
Doesn't this sound like a good time to raise taxes(cap and trade,carbon etc)!


Add to that the obvious increase in doctor fees and virtually all professional fees and the demise of small businesses and total disconnect of Canadians to save $ for retirement.  There is good reason why the TSX has gone nowhere in the last three years while the Dow has gone up by 30% plus. Best strategy for every Canadian will shortly be to blow it all and go on social welfare.


Paul, your 1st sentence is right on.The second I don't really get, who cares if our average age increases? Plus, it's a great thing our birth rate is declining.  In case you haven't noticed overpopulation is a huge problem for the earth.  And ultimately you keep referring to illegal aliens as immigrants.  I love legals  and I love the rule of law.   The Republicans say illegal immigration whenever discussing the issue. IMMIGRATION is good, acceptable, needed, loved and the base of America.  ILLEGAL migrants are  the problem. So let me put it this way. immigration good, illegal immigration bad. As a business man in the Tree Business (3o years), I hired anybody ready to work. Black, brown, yellow, red, white, I didn't care. Performance was everything.  After the first 10 years (1995), I noticed a real uptick in Mexicans beating around the Bush and slacking off when out of sight. I finally quit hiring them. Emotions not involved. I don't hate them, I just don't trust them. They're illegal


i didnt say that clinton wasnt the status quo either.. i said donald trump is the status quo and he is.. you simple cannot call the kettle black with out naming the pot the same.. presuming anything else but that must of been your mouth overloading your feeble brain..


When we get a system where Senators can vote what is best not what the whip tells them, the we will be closer to a better system.  Until then triple E is a lie


It would appear that even our Chief of Defence Staff lives in fear of incurring the tyrannical wrath of the politically correct Trudeau PMO.  How pathetic.

I disagree completely with their misbegotten view of things but they have every right to counter-protest on their own time in civilian attire.


Unfortunately far too many of them don't need t0 see graphic videos or or hear a speaker talking graphically about the horrors. They are surrounded by them, live them, and are all too often the victim of them.


The highest homicide rates are in Latin America, Caribbean, and Southern Africa. World champion is El Salvador with 109 homicides par 100,000 and Honduras second with 64. Not far off are South Africa with 34, Brazil and Mexico each 27.

The USA ranks no. 94 out of 219 countries for global homicide rate in 2015. Homicide rates per 100,000 in the US are 4.9 and Canada 1.7. With 3.2 homicides per 100,000 India is closer to the US than Canada. The UK with 0.9 ranks 183.


THANK YOU GERALD CAPLAN for articulating so well what really happened in this election. The ignorance represented in the American electorate and in many of the comments here is part of what's created our now disastrous reality. One in which a democratically chosen woman - who would have been an imperfect but truly great president - is beaten by an electoral system originally created to appease white slave-owners in the southern United States. Now effectively appeasing fearful white nationalists and internalized hatred.


Do you have any idea as to the raw amount of money those tourists pumped into our economy?

I don't like being stuck behind those buses just like anyone, but those tourists are spending big money and supporting thousands of small businesses.

The benefit far outweighs your crying over imagined air pollution.


I wasn't inclined to inspect the weapons in the photos. Those yahoos are the ones demonizing gun owners, IMO. Did they submit that lovely portrait for the cover of NRA Monthly?


Just think if they tossed the whiskey n weed and actually lived a subsistence lifestyle.


Hanging out with the 1%ers  eh...


My take away from the article is that even the people that write the budget have no idea what they are doing and the budget has been built almost like a money laundering scheme.

They have no ideas if staff are funded, payments come from many different accounts, and there is no solid numbers that encompass each whole office budget. This looks like every case of money laundering I have ever seen.

If your checkbook is so messed up you can't understand how to balance it, then you probably should not be in charge of it anymore.


The problem is a shortage of affordable housing; you know, housing that people with families who live and work in the area can actually afford to buy or rent. It seems to me there is one mechanism that would work to solve this problem: have the City or GTA buy up land, and build co-op housing as in years past. Adding say a thousand units a year onto the market for 10 or 20 years will make an appreciable difference to availability and affordability, and drive rents down in the medium term. Prices will follow, to the extent that they are driven by local market conditions at all.

Much better to use public resources to actually house people rather than to inflate asset values as is presently the case.


Gee.  Didn't you get the memo about the GOP blocking everything for 8 years? Where were their "mid-course" corrections?

Do you GOP/Trumpnuts ever accept any responsibility for what you do and/or refuse to do?

Yeah, the answer is no.


"Covering up trumps exposure."  I'm not sure if that was intentional or...


I wanted to share that image because I found it to be quite powerful to me, the article was pretty good too.


Why not blame Mike Harris as well


Good points, just wait for US tax reform - companies are already preparing to move their headquarters south - from Toronto to Calgary to Vancouver - Finance to Oil and Gas to Film. Canada is hostile to investment and entrepreneurship and we deserve what comes next.


Well it is quite obvious that "talks too much" Gabby fell in with the wrong group or she wouldn't be paying the money back. No one has clean hands here.  She got played, plan and simple.


Blame the fat failure in the WH. Supposedly we are in Afghanistan to hep and encourage young women escape the heavy hand of the Taliban that holds women down and insists they NOT go to school. Supposedly we are there to help and encourage. Then the fat orange terd does this? WTH are we doing as a nation? No wonder the whole world is laughing at us and shaking their heads in amazement at how stupid and ignorant we are as a country. Trump is taking this nation into the twitter/sh!tter and we are, thanks to the obese orange sexist racist clown, the USA is circlin' the drain. And all his trumpanzee supporters are simply too ignorant and hell-bent on some sort of revenge against the black president to see clearly...color-blinded by our national pastime -- racism!


I am pretty sure he was making a joke.  I know it is hard to believe after so many years of Stephen Harper, but conservatives can have a sense of humour.


Margaret Wente employs the lowest possible level of data analysis to support her position. There is privilege in even being listened to under these circumstances.


This is only part of the story.  What are the proposals for fees and miscellaneous charges?  Room and board?  And books.  The UA bookstores are grossly overpriced.


The rich 1 percenters use our young people to advance their global ambitions and forget about them when injured and come home as veterans. We treat our veterans shabbily and that is not how a great nation takes care of our warrior men and women.


...and that's how I feel about the priests/pedophiles


Yes, says the descendant of *Legal* immigrants- who supported and grew America directly- correct.


Canada could reduce corporate tax to zero and it would make squat difference.  The non-tax burden in this country is punitive.  EI, pension plans , maternity leave, extended health, Workers comp etc, not to mention lower per hour worker productivity, immense regulatory burden and higher wages  means that we are competitive in the US market if, and only if our Loonie stays low.   Poloz and crew know this and cannot raise rates in case the loonie strengthens thereby crushing GDP growth.

The irony of course is that the BOC low interest rate policy is a primary driver in Canada's over heated housing market.   So the downtrodden but well paid masses have a cheque to cash but no home to live n.

There's no free lunch, comrades.


"IF" she was smart, Notley would bring in PST now.     Poor management and irresponsibility are usually the  methods used by Liberals, like Ontario,


"He 'blew smoke up our asses'"

Stand in line... There is a lot of that going around and the list is getting longer daily.

You have a pretty good way of reading your own thoughts in to what other people write.

I'm not sure about UAF, but traditionally, in most states, publicly owned buildings and institutions have not been named after living people or active corporations; there was a practical reason for this (made obvious by this case).  Now days though, donors want recognition for their tax deductible contributions so our politicians now allow, in many cases, public property to be named after living people and active private corporations.  Charity has become publicity in our modern world.


Secret Service always go with the Presidents--that is nothing new. I doubt tax money is 'maintaining 2 residents; nor for his son 'to travel around the world on personal business'.  Perhaps you have evidence to provide?


The courts need to get a spine on this one.  If the national government can't set national priorities and approve projects of national importance without interference from every two bit town that is affected, then what kind of country are we?


Everyone should know right now that the only beneficiaries of these " free trade" deals are the multinational businesses that can quickly move their operation to the cheapest source of labor.

The oligarchs who are controling our bought and paid for politicians have by stealth derailed democracy .
Their only interests are profits and dumb compliant politicians.

And we have a real dumb one.


For the first time domestic home buyer in Toronto and Vancouver (especially Toronto), this is probably the single best piece of news they could have received. WAY more impactfull and meaningful then a $4k rebate on land transfer tax or anything of the like.
Should interest rates increase (when, not if) to a level that forces already over leveraged owners to sell, and BAM we will indeed see the correction or bursting of the bubble as many have predicted with an increase of supply and greatly reduced pool of qualified and available demand.


Before this very important article/problem gets put away in the auwe drawer, I'd like to suggest one thing. There must be a substantial charge ($) to all the visitors that come,and  those funds are not to be diverted,but go toward the restoration,and protection of each islands waters,and land. If money is the ruler,then we've been getting the short end of the stick. It's time to charge a "environmental fee",that stays here,and is used only for the purpose of mending the damage.


Good,  only reason these places were slapped with "monument" label was to pacify environmentalists..  these lands should be developed for good of the humankind.


Teddy was a wonderful person. He was always fighting the good fight. I believe no one attended his burial because we didn't know. He was loved by a lot of us. Condolences to his daughters. He loved them very very much! RIP Teddy!


The pro lifers were "allowed" at the march , and that's why their fellow marchers harassed them?   To show them they were welcome?

Pro lifers were allowed, but the organizers declared that "pro choice" was part of the fundamental "platform" of the march?

Just stop.


McCain has become a never ending disappointment.  An elected representative of the U.S. and he trashes President Trump overseas.  McCain hit the quintessential low point when he paid money for the fake dossier on President Trump about golden showers and other sordid jewels.  McCain could not possible reach lower.  However, he may live up to his growing trends and surprise us all.  He should go away before he embarrasses himself, his family, and his former supporters.


Yes!


Great. It will give me something to do besides watch boring traffic while driving.


Trump doesn't pay for anything, including his own bills.   He is, unbelievably, trying to get the republican national committee to pay for the attorneys he has hired to manage the whole russia mess.

In the meantime, even if funding is approved for a wall, it is likely to go nowhere real fast.   Any construction will be held up for years with the more than 90 lawsuits filed opposing federal seizure of private land needed for the wall.   Looks like trump followers will be waiting a long time for any "accomplishments" by their moronic leader.
