Eric you never ran for everything in your life.. you are just a sore grape ranting and raving so someone would here you.  What's funny nobody listens to you but yourself ..
So you support hillary and Kirk Caldwell hipocrite ..


Be very, very, very careful....the  reasoning that leads you to expel certain people today will one be used---citing your very own words--to expel "people like you" someday in the future.

Stand with the expelled and oppressed, whether you agree with them or not  (heck, especially if you DON'T agree with them) or one day you will stand alone. Does not history teach us that?


I wanna die doin some thing I love. He had more balls then most of us. I didn't know him but I wish I had. When u rattle the cups,  sometimes they break,  sometimes they wiggle, and sometimes, they just dare u...


Costs lotsa money in Alaska for boat, Beaver on floats, remote cabin, and all of those Alaska needed doctor things! Especially when most of your doctor profit goes to big corporations! Except that in Alaska they are called expanding health care free choice.


Right now, people have control over US senators: They vote for them.
How are 35 state senators (in the case of the state of Colorado) any more representative of "the people" than people going to the polls and voting for someone?
If you think that members of the US Senate should have remained selected by state senates, rather than popularly like the US House, I respect your opinion, but I think state senates are just as likely to appoint party hacks or ideologues as the voters of the states are. And, US senators appointed by state senators are beholden to an even smaller number of people than if they were directly elected.


I didn't vote for the Liberals but, I do think they are on top of this. You may not agree with all of their policies but I think that we have a lot of smart people, politicians, civil servants, and diplomats that know what they are doing. Now is not the time to be ideological, we need to trust and support our government to know deal with it. They at least have our best interests at heart.


You really do need to read the available research that deals with this act of "cultural genocide".  We are connected to the land, the water, and all our natural relations.  Do some reading on blood memory.  It is real.

I am one of those "they didn't so much lose it as became separated from it.
And those who were taken very young would not have formed a cultural identity to lose."

Your opinion is just that and differs from the available research and from my personal experience of being separated at a very young age.

I have said many time settler need to stop commenting on Indigenous issues until they have listed deeply and studied extensively.  Our world is totally different than yours (Thank goodness)


There are many dead people in Britain who would probably have wished their own government was as concerned about public safety as Trump is.  it is easy to say there is no urgency when you are alive and only other people die.  It's like the Romans watching people get eaten by lions in the Coliseum: it's nothing to get upset about because it's them and not you.


I hope for your car's sake it's silicone rather than silicon.


The article's banner reads "Trump blames 'many sides' for violence in Virginia".
WHAT happened to this article?


No, I am saying that the Dems, when in control, should have a slowly increasing tax on ALL CONSUMED GOODS/Service. Unlike other taxes, this one will disappear in one form or another, all on its own.

And it is NOT about CHINA POLLUTING. It is about ALL NATIONS and STATES that emit large amounts of CO2 having their exports (directly and indirectly) with a slowly increasing tax. In this fashion, it will get ALL LARGE EMITTING NATIONS/STATES to drop their emissions, OR lose their exports. Considering that China's GDP is over 33% exports, they would likely stop building new coal IMMEADIATLY, and do an HONEST push for AE and nukes.
Likewise, India, Texas, Wyoming, the middle east nations, etc are all large emitters in terms of emissions / $ GDP.


Economic libertarians are on the right. Social libertarians are on the left.


Very Interesting, but Waikiki is the subject matter at the moment and it is totally "over saturated" and still the City council and the State of Hawaii does nothing to reign in the construction there; especially when it comes to being a "top tourist destination" that has lost it's way; as the "golden goose has become a swine trough" for the state to collect taxes from.

If the State of Hawaii wants to continue to be a "top tourist destination" shouldn't the State be doing something to create a better venue for tourists, than creating a ConCrete Monstrosity, that can be found in any American Metro area?  Just exactly what "represents Hawaii and the island cultrue" that is left in Waikiki?


I get what you're saying, but many times it takes addicts and homeless years to hit rock bottom or at least a point when they are ready to make a true commitment to get better. I'm all for helping the people that were productive members of society.  But instead of us trying to decide who deserves help more, I think we should see which homeless will accept help and dedicate resources to them.  You can't force addiction counseling on someone that has no intention to quitting or to change their lives and expect it work.  If they have been homeless for 20 years or 20 months I don't really care, as long as they are making an effort to stay off the streets and out of hospitals, jail and detox.  To me it's about helping the people wanting to get help, which is where I think the City will get the most out of it's money.


If we are to go back in history, can we get rid of the reference to God? I would like to see a separation of church and state, and references to a deity offends atheists.


Yes Eugene, but the one party State, the legal Mafia, will never allow it.  Too many centipedes under too many rocks.


The thing is, they don't care.


We could also track guns.  We could have non sporting guns be sold by the government like liquor in Utah. We could obtain more data. We could close gun store loopholes. We could make it harder to modify semis to be full auto. We could limit the rounds a magazine can have.  We could, but we won't.


And the day trump announces he's tired of the national debt issue and declares bankruptcy we become a banana republic. Think those previous gvmt shutdown created havoc?


Spot on!
The upper class hated FDR because, 1) he appointed and/or nominated people to top government jobs who knew the upper class' dirty methods and regulated accordingly, and 2) he saved the upper class from itself. They'll never forgive him for that.
In the 1600s, King Louis XIV gathered all power unto himself, and in exchange, spent lavishly on the nobility and gave the them special privileges. By the 1780s, the French treasury was becoming bankrupt (thanks in part to French military assistance in the American War of Independence), but the nobility continued to spend extravagantly while the lower classes were starving in the streets and in their shacks on rich estates. Louis XVI convened a special assembly and asked the nobility to tax itself. The nobility refused. We all know what followed.
The upper class has an extraordinary sense of its own worth and privilege -- at times, at the expense of common sense and self-survival.


That sounds like a jjp58 post, not an ericnorstog post.

What is the difference between the current situation and the 2 state solution?


"Canada would almost certainly be better off without the oil industry."
Without a doubt , and to put it politely , the least informed statement on here today, but it's not over yet.......... I think I found who Cletus shares the jug with......lol.


The more we try to differentiate ourselves, the more we will find those who will divide us based on our self-described differences. We keep making up religions, sexualities, sexual preferences, colors, sexes, political persuasion and then wonder how we became so divided...it's no mystery.


The NDP membership foolishly voted out a smart and moderate leader like Tom Mulcair because he was not left wing enough for some in the party.

Instead replacing him with Mr Singh and trying to get another young photogenic politician like Justin Trudeau. Unfortunately, he seems to be already showing he's a leader with no principles and would do or say anything to achieve power.

More comments like this and he will ensure the NDP will never win a federal election.


so let's see...Putin provokes the West with armed intervention in Syria, then fears confrontation with the West....hmmm...interesting...yeah that must be it mr wizard!!


I think that it is bat powered.


POS's


You've described Trump exactly.

Puppet, despot, murderer, delusional.


Your fake POTUS is the definition of a parody.


"Crimea voted by a big majority to rejoin Russia" ...at the point of Russian guns.


What does Barrack Obama, Steve Jobs, John Lennon, George Washington, Justin Trudeau, Bill Gates and basically everyone who went to college/university have in common? They experimented/smoked weed.

Does marijuana make them a genius? No, but it does allow a genius to have alternative perspectives which in other words opens their minds. Most of these people are intensely dedicated and focused individuals. If your kids are useless and can't get off their ass it's because you've failed to teach your children basic living skills and give them a direction/inspiration.


These chemicals are being released to dumb  us down. Seems to be working.


I will absolutely Boycott this movie. I will tell everyone I know to boycott it. "The Lobster" was an evil, vile movie which was billed as "laugh out loud funny." It was not at all amusing. It featured animal torture, people laughing about a dog being kicked to death. Also, an attempted suicide with a woman howling in pain--at which people laughed. I believe that  Yorgos Lanthimos is mentally deranged & a severe, hateful sadist.
I am horrified that Colin Farrell chooses to be in his films. Disgusting. I had always loved Colin's work until "The Lobster." I read a comment "The Lobster makes you think." Guess what, Dr. Zhivago made me think, so did Cassandra's Dream, It's a Wonderful Life, Alexander the Great & many other films which did Not feature animal torture or making fun of suicide. Evil, hateful, vile, disgusting  Yorgos Lanthimos. He can't fall off the face of the earth soon enough for me.


Hey...I was right about the GoC rate and CPI data,and the probable cause for the dip in the TSX;

Meanwhile...You know what 10 years is...that's a good start :)


Well, MSM encourages violence by the Left and then praises the results.  Sad because all hate groups use the same line to justify their actions:  we are good people and they are bad people.  Don't Libs know that hating haters makes you a hater??.


That's because they're only putting up a pretence of listening to the public. This bill is going to pass despite the fact that many Canadians are deeply opposed to it. Your only recourse is to make very sure not to forget this bill and use your vote next election to oust these hypocrites. Mr. Morneau and his boss have both been born to a life of privilege yet try to act as if they understand the average Canadian. Mr. Morneau has no idea what it's like to really own a business, one you started yourself. He has no idea what it's like to stay awake at night wondering how you're going to keep the lights on, meet your payroll and support your family. Shame on him for pretending he does and shame on both Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Morneau for spinning the numbers to suit their lies and support their unbridled, irresponsible spending.


What a joke. People don't trust their governments because they lie, fail to keep their promises and take freebies from their billionaire buddies while preaching honesty and transparency. Somehow however it is the hard working business owners and their teams that are at fault.


I loved this article!  Ghost Dad Phenomenon is a perfect way to word it.
I was told I was going to died and travelled to the US to have a stem cell transplant for Systemic Scleroderma. My husband walked out when I told him I wanted the kids to come with me. He then proceeded to take me to Family Court during my chemotherapy. He Skyped the kids daily and  resented him for it. He took my insurance money for my illness he then tried to take my home, which I had paid the mortgage out. Later I found out the little design company I own was totally his -  he did the set up - for himself! As I got sicker I had tax loses in this company which he now uses to get his current income down for Child Support. He has nothing to do with the children and has never bought them a Birthday or Christmas gift. He wont pay for medical and my son has needed 2 operations which are left to me to pay. I can't work due to my illness and life is very poor. The ariticle is so true!


You are jumping the gun. There is much more to come. Be patient little snowflake.


Yeah, and I will keep doing it over and over.  We'd fought the KKK down enough to get them to stop, but don't think for an instant they wouldn't again (and maybe still do) if they thought they could get away with it.

So, this decade is yours to pick arbitrarily?  OK y\then Al-Qaeda attacked and killed nearly 3000 Americans last decade, but that was then.  We can ignore them too.

I find it ironic that those (not necessarily you) who complain about "tearing down history" of statures or flags, find it so easy to ignore the flip side of that same history.

Each group has to be taken as a whole.  BLM has to take some responsibility for the actions of Micah Xavier Johnson. I've had a hard time finding any one killed by a Anti-fa sympathizer, but someone could probably attribute something to them, maybe the Congressional Baseball Shooting.  If the KKK had done anything to improve itself in some unimaginable way, they might be worth of some level of reassessment, but they certainly have not.


I knew it!  Criticize and you'll get labeled a racist.  And people wonder how Trump got elected....


My thoughts, exactly, Hapa!  Just one more proposed law that won't be enforced...


The demand for a $15 minimum wage came from Bernie!


I don't see why LBGT folks should offer the hand of friendship to any group which seeks to deny LBGT people the same civil rights that group assumes it's members are entitled to.

Unless Father Martin is prepared to give his unqualified public respect and approval to gay marriage and homosexuality I don't feel he is qualified to lead a reconciliation campaign, although he is clearly qualified to speak to many other subjects.

As example, suppose I said that I have the right to vote, but represent an organization determined to block your right to vote, and won't myself personally call for your right to vote, but I love you and want to be friends.   Credible?

Father Martin wants his cake and eat it too.  Sorry, not buying it.  His sermons on many other topics still welcome.


Betty and her heart of Gold...God is good,  way to go Betty, you ROCK and serve Him well....


There is no doubting that the Chiefs organization is on the upswing.  Ownership, coaching staff, players are ready to win in the playoffs.  You have to get in the tournament then play real smartly and hope to get more breaks than the opposition.  To me, it looks like Andy Reid has dropped 25 or 30 lbs. from last year.  Another observation: Mile High Report has more civil and intelligent discussions than this site.


Damn North Korea!


When shining a light on roaches, they disapear. We can hope Jones does the same.


Santiago's assistant public defender, Robert Berube, who questioned the FBI agent on the witness stand about his client's statements after the shooting, agreed to his detention before trial.


Infill housing is more of a trojan horse. It turns residential properties into attractive investment properties and neighbourhoods into parking lots.  It may ease the rental market marginally but due to the increased property prices not the rental prices unless of course this type of rental unit is subject to price controls.

As for permit fees of $60 grand plus for an already developed property it is bordering on obscene. If you are going to allow the development the fee should be more inline with the cost. Where the district should be recovering is making a special class of multi residential that is taxed much heavier than it currently is for the extra services the property consumes..


Facial recognition software? In any case it will be amusing to hear the bs defense a lawyer comes up with. $5 says they hire Rex Butler.


I work at LCC. I sit in a place each day, helping people gain an education that will hopefully move them from a lower income status to a more stable financial and personal life. My income is limited by public funds for the purpose of educating our community/state citizens, and those public funds are regularly decreased by the same wealthy corporate folks who hold all the power to buy up land, develop it, and use it for their own gain.
I have sat and watched as a truly beautiful place, which has often given it's value of solace and peace upon simply gazing out the window, has been decimated by machinery cutting down tree after tree, leaving only a thin fringe to "hide" what has been done to the land.
If I had money to buy it, believe me, I would have.


TWY:  I strongly disagree with the tactics of antifa.  I condemn their violence, their valdalism and their attempts to (through intimidation) impose censorship of those who would present views they oppose.  I support their being help legally responsible for acts of violence and vandalism.  I do NOT support "beat the crap out of them first."  I trust you see the irony of suggesting using violence against persons who condemn for using violence themselves.    Gary Crum


As a parent and teacher, I know that much more funding is needed at the public schools. But I do not believe the rail is a sound project, and as such, the linking of school funding and rail is highly problematic. This is "sausage-making" and I don't know if the product will be "edible."


I'll willingly concede that homeowners are part of the pricing equation, though I suspect most go with their realtors recommendations. If your thesis is that the many well-documented unscrupulous tactics used by some realtors have nothing to do with the state of the market in Vancouver, then we will have to disagree. Have a nice day.


Quite frankly, it is hard to imagine how transgenders can be accommodated in the military.  So the guy wants to be a girl.  How do the real girls feel when he is put in their barracks and uses their bathroom.  Those who need special accommodations do not belong in the military.


There are a huge number of toxic superfund sites in the flooded areas...is Trump's EPA director going to notice?


Not mentioned in the article, but to save weight, Cadillac has used a mix of aluminum and steel in the body, which makes any kind of body damage repair very tricky and very expensive.  In fact, it can only be done in a few certified shops, so can also require extensive travel and delay.

Also, the notion that Cadillac is a luxury brand is about 40 years out of date.


Back in the 90's, M.F.K. Fisher purchased a bed from us for her tiny, vineyard cottage in Sonoma County. Our 20ish son & a helper delivered it. When it was in place, Mary Frances invited the fellows to stay for dinner. Not knowing of her culinary expertise with "sacred chow" & the priceless gift of presence being offered, they politely refused opting instead to stop at McDonalds on the way home. Ay,yi,yi,yi,yi!


This article is about Trump' failed health reform - try to stay on topic


It's unfortunate that those of us who agree with Kenney won't get our chance to speak out til the next Federal election.  I suspect that the Trudeau would be more cautious about throwing around $10 million of taxpayers' dollars if there was less than two years to election day. But many of us shall not forget this betrayal in 2019.


I'm pretty sure Alaskans have voluntarily (by a majority) voted for increases or improvements to the educational system in past elections, please look into it Art.


"a wall that americans will fund and mexico will pay for in tarrifs"

I'll say it again and maybe it'll finally sink into the heads of Trumpettes...

Mexico won't pay the tariffs. US consumers will. Full stop. Clean and simple. Can you understand that?

Try and keep up...

US gov't applies 20% tariff to washing machines manufactured in Mexico.

Therefore, manufacturer of washing machine pays 20% extra to get it across the border.

Therefore, manufacturer of washing machine raises price of washing machine by 20% to cover extra costs.

Trump brags that the Mexicans are paying for his wall. Trump supporters dance in the street. Then run out and pay 20% more for a washing machine.

Mexican gov't shrugs and has a shot of tequila.


Don't forget the big fuss the Alaska Oil And Gas Conservation Commission made when cook inletkeepers director Bob Shavelson asked for more public hearings on the fracking that is being done in the inlet with almost no consideration or input from the people who actually live there. the commission and the governors top oil and gas adviser attacked him personally saying he "insulted the state" just for asking for more public information on their plans.

This is just another travesty done against the backdrop of a money hungry walker regime wheeling and dealing behind closed doors for the best interests of their constituents; the oil and gas industry and themselves. The governor has hilcorp's back and they know it.

I don't imagine they will ever have to pay a dollar of the fines let alone stop polluting and follow the laws of the state. Which are very protective of the environment WHEN ENFORCED. Cook Inlet is starting to look like an oil field. I thought belugas were endangered!


I've ridden the A line countless times and I've never had someone not check my ticket.  I also take light rail on a regular basis and I've gone weeks without getting checked.  I think it really depends on the time of day, when it's standing room only, it would be nearly impossible and really annoying to riders and officers to try and check fares.


No such thing as alt left except in the White Supremacist propaganda altering the vocabulary to make their own evil ideology legitimate.  The ranting of a pure Aryan White Supremacist glorying of the pseudo-election of his new Fuhrer, Trump, to free the Neo-Nazi Aryans to begin the violence just like Nazi Germany.  This nation needs to stamp out this evil just like it did in 1940s.  The big mistake was not doing it to the embedded racist bigots infesting this nation since its formation.


Automation is going to happen whether or not minimum wages go up. The march of technology means that the cost of automating a job drops every year. If the minimum wage is increased substantially, that may mean that the point at which it becomes economically viable to automate a job will arrive six months, or maybe even a whole year, earlier. In short, holding the minimum wage down will only preserve jobs in the VERY short term.


I just watched a fish and wildlife biologist bear training and the behavior of standing on his hind legs and putting his front paws on the tree trunk is defensive posture, which says basically, "I'm not sure you are safe to be around, in which case I'm making myself feel better by demonstrating that if I am chased I can climb this tree to escape".

At the same time I don't think it's valid to second guess the people on the scene. Let's not get sentimental about one dead animal in a world where animals everywhere are declining. Let's not get judgmental about policy or homicide investigations. We don't have all the facts.


One way yes off topic, one way not. Many including me have not seen my children for years...of course I pay very well, but courts here seem only to enforce the financial part of the court orders...not to talk about the bias and belony...wasted time...theft ..fabricating facts ...putting men in jail for sexual assault but then a year later acquit them as the guys were not even in town..no repercussions in family law...
"Forced" adoption is in the bigger picture the same...
I adopted 2 children financially as they are "alone" in the world...similar stories...that is besides my own 2 children...I never see.
It is a business...family related law...no mercy for parents or children. Lots of it reminds on history...from nazi germany as example to more recent Yugoslavia...that's just ok the so called civilized western world.
I hear this lady ...and can only imagine...it happens to men as well as women. Is it going to change? Unlikely, it's business.


It's not surprising that the Germans would deny using poison gas...so I'm not sure you can call that a "controversy" when it's the perpetrator doing the denying...


Most of the people who will be affected voted for the dummy so they should be tapping themselves on the back.


"And I have been entirely consistent in my desire not to be perceived as bending or breaking any rules," Mr. Trudeau said.

Justin- we all understand how you have a desire not to be perceived, but unfortunately, our perception and not your desire about our perception is what matters.

And moreover,

 "Obviously, we follow all the rules and I am assured that the folks who are managing my personal finances are following all the rules."

How would he know either of these two things  he is asserting as truths if he has in fact devolved all of the asset administration into a blind trust situation. Maybe blind, but not deaf regarding the administration of his assets?

Liberal- thy name is hypocrisy.


Doubling down on deception and corruption by lying to us, and thinking we are that stupid we wont see through his pathetic lies.

This is going from bad to worse for this absolute disappointment.  Promised so much accountability and renewal, dives straight back into grubby peddling of influence.  Hang your head Trudeau.  Liberal supporters out there - demand better from your party.  You can still help them find their way.


I've found that voting in my self interest makes politicians pay for my happiness.  Plus it's fun.  And it's what liberals want us to do so why not?


Ethics Office Rejects WH Attempt To Block Disclosure Of Ethics Waivers


Absolute insanity.  This country has little usable land, and we keep pressuring what there is.  Niagara Falls to Whitby is nothing but malls (mostly all the same), along with cookie cutter housing.   These immigrants, for the most part, will all want to live in Toronto or Vancouver.


For one property, the exact entry/exit is shown on a 1947 aerial photo.


Canada is done for.   We are now a high cost , hugely indebted , high taxed jurisdiction run by everything politically correct.     How we are leading G7 in growth is a mystery.

Just another day in the Nei.


Are you saying we need an actual war to tear down all the monuments to racism and tyranny that you Unite the Right guys love so much?

The fact that the white supremacists are willing to have another Civil War rather than give up their monuments to white supremacy, anti-black racism, and tyranny says it all. Wouldn't be a complete day on the internet if a nutty racist wasn't salivating for a new civil war. Pathetic.

See you at the broadcast of the next Unite the Right rally. I'll look for the unhinged guy with the nazi armband over his Colorado t-shirt, waving a mosquito repelling tiki torch, sweating, spitting, grinding his teeth, shouting "bring on the next Civil War, man! Bring it on! White power now and forever, man! You'll have to pry my racist tyrannical statues out of my cold dead hands, man!"


A student of the law quotes something out of context to bolster their case?  I'm so shocked!  I am sure this doesn't happen regularly.


Well mr smith there's media and then there's "media". You may no longer be able to separate the wheat from the chaff due to years of conditioning but the folks at Fox and the bloviators like limbaugh et al have not been telling you the truth for decades now. The disinformation spewed out to so many millions of my fellow Americans by the massive right wing media machine has so confused and angered the viewers/listeners that like you the truth is a foreign concept now. Like a powerful and destructive drug the siren call of right wing media lures you back day after day for more reinforcement, another hit of the lies that sooth your latent need to look down on, hate and fear someone outside your close group of acquaintances. You have been poisoned by disinformation mr smith. The antidote is to shut off the radio and TV for at least a month until the irritation subsides and rational, reasoned thinking resumes. The purpose of propaganda is to make you react emotionally and negatively.


Some guy who was too important to stop. "Just a dog" Where do these scummy people from? Probably the same guy who shot the lab at Campbell Lake.


Better hitchhike then.


Oh I agree the current batch of legislators are a majority of Republicans but It's been going on more like forty years. Every since the common Alaskan no longer had any skin in the game its been a spend fest by both parties.


Not convicted means innocent.   False accusations are common in politics from both sides.   There is nothing particularly special about this election that our nation hasn't seen before.


Green energy funding = cronyism and political favoritism. If green energy can compete with fossil fuels without taxpayer subsidization, I'm all for it.


maybe it was my use of the word imbeciles regarding this group of haters that was deemed unacceptable, but I'll say it again, CB, and see if you delete my comment a 2nd time re this article...

there are likely many in this bunch who would pack the 'closet' of secrets and hypocrisy.


Uber's investors unhappy with the billions per year burn rate of a business trying to kill the competition by pricing them out of the market, eh? Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Mr. K. My bet is Uber will never go public and the initial investors will have to eat their losses.

Incidentally, U of T's partnership with these spendthrift predators indicates a serious lack of judgement in the hallowed halls......


The gov't. can't do anything efficiently in Alaska as they are too consumed with their personal agendas, so yes it will probably take at least 100 employees.

The difference is when the wealthy pay their taxes, they are still left with a crap load of money. When us that only make mid five figures pay our taxes, we aren't left with much. I am personally paying over 20%, and 78% percent of not much is even less of not much.


I wonder if Elon Musk was watching looking for pointers?


I was one of those people who was always suffering set backs, little seemed to go right for me,money always passing through my hands and always dogged by sheer instances of bad luck; no progress even with all the years i worked,anxious and worried about the life and future of my children,family pressure until i sought the help of a very powerful traditional healer called Ma' Micah [+27715 529 472] whose ""jujuu oil"" has since changed everything from my work,finances,relationships.contact her for any help.

So I would say that the people then need to go back and rewrite the law so that it accomplishes the will of the people without being unconstitutional.


Columbine, Sandy Hook, Pulse Nightclub, Mandalay Bay, Aurora Movie Theater, Virginia Tech, San Bernardino, Fort Hood, Washington Navy Yard, Oregon Community College, Charleston, and many many more. Those are all the mass shootings I can list off the top of my head...correlation??? Semi-automatic rifles were the weapon of choice. Enough is enough. No more silence and prayers.


1. Where were women when Hill Clinton cackled over the rape-death of Qaddafi?
2. On Nov 1, Americans had 4 options:
a. Hillary Clinton, who engineered the murder of Qaddafi; the wanton destruction of Libya; voted for Iraq war and enabled its after-effect, ISIS, supplied by US allies and USA itself; advanced the non-democratic policy demand that "Assad must go," and as early as 2011, supported provocateurs who turned a relatively peaceful protest into full-out war.

b. Trump

c. third party

d. no vote

3. A vote for Trump was the only meaningful, tho not optimal, option.
Trump may have had prurient thoughts on his mind, but he did not have blood on his hands.

4. Pink hats & participation in an event financially supported by Hillary Clinton's key backer, George Soros, are endorsements for mass killing and the implicit wish that the same policies continue.

btw, you are aware that P**y Riot started out as porn performers, yes?  & that they were the inspiration for the p**y meme, yes?


These people are in jail because they are committing unlawful acts. And, what does this have to do with The POTUS? Don't do something stupid,  then expect the POTUS to get involved. Gosh, people!


And adding on to that, you also need policies that give those locally employed the opportunity to obtain a decent paying job.


“With thousands of members here in the Southland, the gang’s power is widespread..."
hahahaha 21 down and thousands more to go. hahahahahaha
The ATF is working too hard to nab these guys, instead they should throw a giant fiesta in the sanctuary city of LA and offer free burritos and Tequila shots. Once the news of the fiesta spreads they'll come out of the woodwork like cockroaches. Guaranteed to round up thousands of illegals alone that will come out and feast on the free food and drinks!


T:  No, idiocacy is doing more of the same and expecting different results.  Maybe not for you elitists but for most of us a tax break will be a good thing.  No, by "people" I mean exactly that, everyday common middle class people, not liberal elitists.  Don't worry, I'm sure that you and your liberal buddies will ensure none of this happens.


Did you see what Roskell wrote?

Your questions and points are a different issue.  Go find someone who cares to debate them with you.


The muzzling of scientists appears to be a uniquely liberal desire...

 If Stephen Harper muzzled federal government scientists, then Justin Trudeau has failed to lift the muzzle, a federal public sector union says in a memo obtained by Postmedia Network.

Mind you, data quietly tabled in the House of Commons earlier this summer suggests that Harper's "muzzle" appeared to be ineffective. That data shows that federal government scientists gave nearly 1,500 media interviews in the 12 months prior to last October's election.

Nonetheless, the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) -- the union that represents tens of thousands of federal government scientists -- says the Trudeau government is continuing a Harper government communications policy that prevents scientists from participating in conferences. - canoe


..at least the dog was not asked to give up his 'cage' because they were over booked.


thank you Christian...since you are here and speaking of clarifying a story by adding to it when it launches - the story last week  on the Ruby Ave house in santa clara was terrible.  it was misleading from the very beginning and it shocked me that after all the additional comments that would have likely led a reporter to some people directly involved in the story to clarify and define the story...it was left as is.  it was truly awful that another, accurate story  wasn't run.


All professions require constant education to remain proficient. The licensing requirements you list are union created barriers to entry and have nothing to do with outcomes. For proof look at the dismal performance of teachers locally and nationally as compared to other countries.


"They can bloody well clean it up when i am gone"? Nice, unselfish attitude. That said, I'm sorry for your loss.


Trudeau, Trump, Kim....Curly Larry and Moe.


[I also think that everything General Kelly said, from the VERY beginning to the end when he left the podium is something people should hear, in its entirety, before criticizing Kelly or Trump.]
I agree with you that it is something people need to hear but I have to disagree that it is something that people need to hear before criticizing Trump.  In true Trump fashion he jumped on a political landmine with both feet and attacked a gold star mother rather than simply admitted that he misspoke.  This was a golden presidential moment but Trump had to go and screw it up by making it political (Obama never did this) and verbally attacking a grieving mother.  I'd even argue that if Trump had just come out and said he was trying to follow Kelly's advice and script but misspoke the media would have actually been ON HIS SIDE just because of how sacred Americans hold gold star families.


So right. This city has been in a downward spiral for at least 15 years. Finally the tipping point has been reached and even the privileged and wealthy folks can't ignore it.


Fueled by media publicity.


Yup, you think spending the rest of your life in jail made him kill himself.  Don't need a concussion to blame for that.  What a coward.


Fairy tale article. In todays world nuclear weapons act as a deterrent against aggression. Just ask Israel.
And that is why Canada will not stigmatize countries for having nuclear weapons.


Well, as Descartes said, "Cogito ergo sum" as being  only thing that can actually be known with certainty to any individual.  But the lack of proof positive doesn't make it false either.  At least in this case the sources are identified as members of Trump's New Jersey Gold Club, not just "unnamed sources".  And I do seem to recall Trump on the campaign trail saying he wouldn't live in the White House if elected, so the alleged comment would sort of follow.  But again, pretty trivial story.


Flynn was an idiot to put his boss in a compromised position, much less having conversations with the Russians as described. That said, Trump gathered all the evidence and fired Flynn. He did what he should have and I am not one to quibble about a few weeks. It's more important to make the right decision and he did that in firing Flynn.


Blast some tear gas into the church and drag this criminal out in shackles.  What are they waiting for?


there's a special place in hell for people like him, right next to Peter Boy's parents.


Fat chance  doing away with pork barrel public education, even though it is the most expensive form of baby sitting. Opportunity is here. You can choose to take advantage or not. It is quite apparent that many do not. Life is all about choices. The prisons and welfare roles are littered with bad decision makers. If you have a solution to bad decision making, we'd all like to hear it.


"What difference does it make now?"  Hillary Rodham Clinton.

(Named after Sir Edmund Hillary according to one of her less egregious lies.)


"The Liberal party has been milking this for all it's worth". Nope, they haven't. But if they had, it would be because the great majority of people believe Beyak is wrong and an idjit to boot. And she so obviously is.
Why did it take the CPC so long to boot her off the committee? And why are some of the CPC defending Meredith, too?


The biggest limitation to me is that you are stuck in your little corner of the continent.


This team continues to spin its wheels, stuck in the mud. Nothing here.


I would like APD to answer this also.


since when does that mean they should ignore possible crimes like this against people?


Feinstein: Trump Jr. To Publicly Appear Before Senate Judiciary Panel
Just wait til Al Franken gets ahold of Junior.
It's gonna be epic.


cont....GBA:  "here's the summation of that "least restrictive appropriate educational environment" law:

 Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is the requirement in federal law that
students with disabilities receive their education, to the maximum extent
appropriate, with nondisabled peers and that special education students are not
removed from regular classes unless, even with supplemental aids and services,
education in regular classes cannot be achieved satisfactorily.  [20 United States

Trump used to be pro-choice until it was no longer politically expedient.

 I absolutely would not call that unwavering.   Pence must be using a different definition then the one in my dictionary.  We used to have alternative facts, now we have alternative definitions.  This administration is teaching me so much


just get used to the fact that the ACA is here to stay. Yes, you are forced to buy GOOD insurance. What is wrong with that? It is nice to have when you need it, cause' even the healthiest person can easily be hospitalized.

Yes there are a few freeloaders. I don't mind though, knowing that my taxes are helping those that need it. Then again I get more joy helping others than helping myself.


It was Hillary!


The Indians are getting resource money. It is just that they want everything for free and will not spend any of their own money


Ah, so you disparage a wife who stood by her husband and forgave him his transgressions. You don't approve of the sanctity of marriage?


I really think we should start up a pool to see how long before WestJet jacks their prices back up to match Air Canada or Porter.

This "idea" will go the way of all cost cutting measures with more demand for profit. Just about the only cut rate airline that is actually a cut rate airline is Ryan Air. Yes, they are cheap and yes, you receive nothing unless you want to pay for it. But and this is an important but, the average North American passenger keeps thinking that they should receive absolutely stellar service with all the bells and whistles and if not, the media will happily post their whining and cringing.

You get what you pay for, if you're lucky.


Nice try...

I didn't ask you whether or not I was entitled to my opinion.

I asked you whether or not you would rebuke me, judge me and not love me if I held those positions.

So....

If I am a racist and believe that we should build walls to keep out the brown people, if I go around telling people that there is no need to care for the poor, if I campaign for the death penalty and want it to be used more,  would you not rebuke me?  Would you not form a judgement about me?  Would you love me?


let's then drop tax free status


LOL  You are hauling an EV!  It has an inverter/charger and you have to plug it in. The RV post is the EV charger.  Anywhere you parked, an EV could recharge. Unless you stayed for less than 3 hours at each park.


Nice description of tactics the left use against republicans/conservatives. Kathleen Parker is 100% correct, about democrats.


as if there aren't enough real problems in this country that need fixing.  two more years of this, we are so screwed


Another "travel junket" review? These are impossible to take at face value.


Great response.
Well stated.


When the product should not be used ACCORDING TO HEALTH CANADA - AND THAT INCLUDES FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES

Cannabis should not be used if you:

are under the age of 25
are allergic to any cannabinoid or to smoke
have serious liver, kidney, heart or lung disease
have a personal or family history of serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia, psychosis, depression, or bipolar disorder
are pregnant, are planning to get pregnant, or are breast-feeding
are a man who wishes to start a family
have a history of alcohol or drug abuse or substance dependence
Talk to your health care practitioner if you have any of these conditions. There may be other conditions where this product should not be used, but which are unknown due to limited scientific information.

NO MAN SHOULD USE MARIJUANA IF HE WISHES TO START A FAMILY DUE TO THE RISK OF TESTICULAR CANCER, DNA DAMAGE, SPERM MORPHOLOGY, AND STERILITY AND THESE SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT - WHO ALSO WANT TO LEGALIZE


The NDP stated this in their election platform,

'Most of BC’s natural gas is produced using hydraulic fracturing, a process
that has been used in north eastern BC for decades. With the potential
of a significant expansion of gas production in the years ahead, we will
appoint a scientific panel to review the practice to ensure that gas is
produced safely, and that our environment is protected'

Page 62

https://action.bcndp.ca/page/-/bcndp/docs/BC-NDP-Platform-2017.pdf

As someone who works in the industry, I can tell you that hydraulic fracturing and LNG are mutually inclusive.  You cannot have one without the other.

So NDP, are you for or against the natural gas industry?  You can't sit on the fence forever.  The voters in BC have a right to know, so when we go back to the polls we know who to (or not to) vote for.  You need to be open and honest with the voters on this issue.


Free speech takes another hit from the Liberals.
My taxes pay for women to kill their babies. I am in disagreement with this, and I now have no choice to free speech because they are easily triggered.

Step one- go to an abortion clinic and protest the suppression of free speech.
Step 2- get arrested for violation of foreign feminist policy.
Step3-  Have case thrown out in court.
Step 4- Protest abortion in front of abortion clinic

The law can not enforce this, unless they intend to violate your rights as a citizen to accommodate feminism.


if you live in anywhere in Canada, and have a son(s) you really need to  have a serious talk with them about not hooking up, making out or having sex with girls who've been dinking alcohol...in any amount whatsoever and you must teach them to attempt to record their sexual interaction with them, via video or audio.  Their very lives and futures are at stake. One vindictive girl is all it will take to destroy your sons entire future prospects. We are quickly moving towards criminal code implementation of the University/College based models of adjudicating Sexual assaults.  Sober = Consent, and retroactive consent. It will fundamentally change relations between men and women. It will weaponize false claims of assault. When the accusation process itself becomes the punishment, (job loss, being named in the press (google is forever), public shaming) ..and the Govt (judiciary) leans towards default belief of an accusation, we are in big, big trouble. Civility will go out the window.


If you went after the over-representation by males then you would also have tackled the over-representation of FN people.


Violence is far more likely to happen to you if you are a male. That is a statistical fact. So I would say that women are not alone in that fear.


Although I'm not religious, Ms. DuBois, I echo your sentiments. It costs us nothing but a little time to care for--even love--our elderly, very young,  poor, disabled and otherwise needy.


Dead on commentary. I can't wait to vote for whoever is his opponent.
My goal is to ensure Sullivan is a one term Senator.


The task of pastors is to lead their flock away from darkness to light, from sin to justification.  Guidance for them to do that comes from scripture, tradition and the magisterium.  Many things are unclear.  For two thousand years it was crystal clear (from scripture, tradition and the magisterium) that those in a state of mortal sin - for example, but not only adulterers - should not receive Holy Communion.  The bishops of Poland nowadays uphold that teaching.  The bishops of Germany do not.  There is a dispute. From apostolic times the Pope has resolved disputed questions - which enable pastors to be good pastors.  Why is it suddenly so outrageous to even ask the Pope to resolve, with clarity, a dispute>  It's one of the primary functions of the papacy to do this.


Congratulations to Port Angeles for removing the toxic chemical, fluoride, from the drinking water. Those who want to take it can still do so --- as much as they wish.

The truth is spreading and people everywhere are learning that fluoride in drinking water is ineffective for teeth and dangerous to health.

Consider this:
In the US, 74 % fluoridated (more than the rest of the world combined).
In Europe, only 3%.
In the world, only 5%.
In Canada, now 37% --- down from 45% in six years.
Over 200 communities have voted it out in the last five years.


I hope this welcome ruling will not be appealed by the government .

The vast majority who  lost citizenship  were just ordinary Canadians who lived, worked, and contributed to Canada.  My family learned ours was stripped in late 2003, after 58 years in Canada with no notice, hearing or way to appeal.  Some groups lost for being a War Bride , child of a War Bride,  out of the country more than 5 years prior to 1947 (my father, with the Royal Canadian Artillery in WWII),  born prior to marriage(common in WWII due to military orders) failing to reaffirm citizenship before  28th birthday(who knew?) etc.

It may be too late for my brother and I to  get our citizenship back(nothing worked so far) Our  children, all good citizens of Canada, are entitled to British citizenship due to having a parent born in WWII Britain and grandparents serving in Canadian  forces. Due to Bill C-24 they are Second Class,, vulnerable to revocation. At least they will get a judicial process before it is taken.


I just love reading and comments. I feel so much better about myself after I read them!


People talking about the parenting here, when this isn't even applicable in the situation. I am from Prince of Wales Island, and what you people don't realize is this place is REALLY small. The authorities would have found out about this and come a knockin' whether the dad called it in or not. The father probably had a lot to lose if this came down on him. On POW Island, we have a different sort of respect for our land. We call in bears killed out of self defense, we trap legally, we report the animals killed because that is how we manage our rainforest ecosystem. It has less to do with parenting and much more to do with our way of life. This title is as sensationalist as it comes.


Dr. Strangelove, aka one D. Trump, has a grade four level of English, which is plain to see. He's lied about his academic standing at Wharton probably because his term-papers were too difficult to write, so obviously Twitter is just perfect. It is the perfect match for the man and the moment. He has no idea how the Chinese have set him up in order to make him look foolish, which of course, he is. "All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." - The Art of War = Sunzi.


Agree with you about service errors.  Even though only had 9, that's FREE points.  Castillo should serve UNDERHAND already.  Several games, including last night she had 3 service errors in 3 sets.   I saw on the screen last night she had 13 aces and 39 service errors during the season.  Just put the ball into the opponent's court and let them EARN their points.  Not GIVE it to them.  Hope serving is better tonight.  Let's Go, Na Wahine...


Yes, well, it's only taken the House Majority 3 months to plan the demise of the state's fiscal health.


Too bad Ambrose couldn't/didn't run for leadership.  Raitt is probably the closest to her in terms of leadership style and policy views.


Mr.Trudeau is showing up.
That is the thing to do.


Brenda

Bad move to like your own post, looks too much like Trump's way, but perhaps that's what you're looking for.
As far as busts go; so far no conclusion on the Russian collusion, as much as the Trumpeteers wish it were so.
Thorough investigations take time, Robert Mueller has plenty of experience and patience, unlike the "Zero Experience Guy" who likes to talk and tweet a lot.


Springfield is not the first, and won't be the last, municipality in Oregon to adopt such an ordinance. Others have passed similar laws and withstood legal challenges. Read up on Medford Code 6.360 (6). Others have passed them and then withered. Read up on Ashland's history dealing with panhandling; the problems there, as well as the political persuasion, mirror Eugene's. Hardly a coincidence.

Also, read up on what homeless advocates in Portland, which has genuinely serious problems, say about handing out money here:

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland-homeless/panhandle.html

Then, read up on OAR 734-058 concerning permits to use state highways, such as Oregon 126 that is also known as Main Street in Springfield, for fundraising purposes here:

http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/oars_700/oar_734/734_058.html

In short, read. Do some homework for once. Fight off that pontification reflex. Raising laziness to an art form is not working.


The CBR fund is being used for what it was meant to be used for.  There is no need for new taxes, cutting the PFD, and cutting government until the CBR is exhausted.


All of the Chaldeans I have read about being deported have criminal histories, usually extensive one.  I suspect very few people decrying this deportation are familiar with the Chaldean Mafia.
   It is easy to fall prey to the "poor Chaldean Christians" being "persecuted" by deportation mentality, but the U.S. have a population of over 300,000 Chaldeans, the vast majority of whom are peaceful and law abiding and who, consequently, have no concerns about deportation.
   However, the predators who are NEITHER peaceful NOR law abiding SHOULD be deported.   Furthermore, these Chaldean criminals tend to victimize Chaldean communities.
   Defending such criminals because they are "Christian" or "Catholic" is akin to defending the KKK because its members are "Christian".  Unfortunately, the KKK are American citizens so we can't deport them.


She told the Fairbanks  News Miner in May that she supported Trump. You need to stop denying what anyone can see on "the tunes."

Fairbanks News Miner, May 4

Alaska congressional delegation offers reluctant support of Trump


Reading comprehension is clearly not one of your gifts. Continue on friend, there's no story here. At least not one that you are willing to consider or discuss with respect for dissenting views. Again, what does this topic have to do with Christianity? You are like a broken record, using every chance you can to bash Christians or Christian influenced thought with insult laden comments, but you are the only one bringing the bible or Christians into the discussion. If your hatred defines you, then I am sorry for you.


To follow on on from point 2 I wonder what the number of people hacked to death with panga's is in SA? I agree that the two scenario's that are compared are hardly comparable when you get down to the essentials. Of course the gun made the Phillipi killings much easier for the murderer(s) but I wonder whether some sharp objects would simply not have been used if no guns were available?

On enforcement of the FCA I think there are two sides to the story. It depends on who you are dealing with. Some SAPS members are obviously hell bent on enforcement while others take a more realistic approach. The current court process around the validity of the FCA renewal provisions shows up the poor drafting of the Act . It stems from the not so well hidden aim of the Act to deprive owners of their property if they haven't complied with the letter of the law, leaving no room for condonation. Lets see what the Con Court says...


An accident is, by its very definition, an event that was niether intended nor predictable, therefore it is random.
This does not deride the skill, knowledge, or judgement of any victim, Andy my intent was certainly not to upset you.


Your point is inherently contradictory though; you cant hear someone who's silent, can you?  Therefore the 'silent majority' would need to speak up, noh?


I don’t understand any of this drivel. This is a bunch of what if’s instead of articulatable facts, do you even have a point?   I understand that you post nonsense but this is beyond comprehension


How dare those Democrats defend Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

The author wants Democrats to adopt Trumpism and screw over the average American so they can give tax breaks to the wealthy and serve the interests of the corporations.

The author is like Trump, he wants to screw over the average American to give more money to military contractors.

What the author is pining for is one party Trumpism, better known as totalitarianism.

This is surely another fine example of the liberal slant of the ADN.

LIke this 'liberal' statement:

"The standard Washington narrative blames Republicans for the budget stalemate because they reject higher taxes."

The author attempts to wash that away by claiming it's a half-truth.  That's no half truth, it's a whole truth.

It's standard Republican mantra for decades, this author thinks he can obviate reality at a whim?

That 'Republicans reject tax higher taxes' is standard narrative because it reflects reality.

He's as phony as Trump is.


It's not that hard to avoid getting hit, just skate with your head up rather than focussed on the puck.
.
Guys put their heads down knowing the risks are there.  But just like ped's, they don't care about the risk because they are chasing fame and fortune.  Then they look for someone else to blame when they could have kept their head up and avoided the hits in the first place.


Historical facts  are fun...the Japanese / Chinese were made " honourary Aryans" for politicians cal reasons...but the Nuremberg Race Laws did not allow the "honourary" Aryans to marry and reproduce with true Aryans.

The Iranians were no limited by the Nuremberg Race Laws and could marry German Aryans...Iranians, being racially pure , were allowed to join the SS...there were no Chinese or Japanese in the SS.


Buy the dumb voters with massive debts for their children. (Worked great for Greece.) Saddle taxpayers with $1 billion in penalties shutting down gas plant contracts to buy two election seats. Pay wind and solar electrical producers to not produce, more than doubling off peak consumer hydro costs since 2006. Then artificially reduce consumer hydro bills by substituting even more debt to hide the cost of the green power fiasco and build radio commercials around this ponzi scheme pretending the government has done voters some kind of favor. That these buffoons could be re-elected speaks to the lameness of the Ontario PCs as well as the low mental bar set by Ontario voters.


The most concerning thing about this article to me is what Mr. Gallagher's ideas reveal about academic rigor at Catholic University.  If this is the level of reasoning and writing going on in a doctoral theology program, that is troubling.  But I also think that whatever article he wrote doesn't deserve as much attention as NCR is giving it today.
It is a fact of life that language changes and evolves over time, usually in response to new discoveries about the world and human nature.  I am in a book group that is studying the women Doctors of the Church and we sometimes have to step back and investigate how the meaning of words in the documents have changed over the centuries, and how to ascertain the writer's original intent.  Our most amusing example is that for Teresa of Avila, "gay intercourse with friends" meant an encouraging and lively verbal exchange of spiritual ideas with like minded souls.  In today's language it would mean something quite different!


You are simply spewing fake news.   None of the figures you have quoted are taken from, you know, reality.

By the way, nationally, from 2013 to 2016, the Immigration Review Board had an average annual release rate of 18 per cent.  People appearing for detention review hearings at the IRB are non-Canadians who have been arrested by the CBSA for an immigration matter.  When taken into custody for an immigration infraction, CBSA can detain non-citizens pending a decision on whether they are allowed to remain in Canada.


Funny we pleaded when they occupied Caledonia and it never made front page news.


stop being such a bore.


It would have been interesting if Michael Spiker had said what he was addicted to.  Obviously he wasn't talking about marijuana but was it Chrystal meth?  Heroin, or perhaps perscription drugs?  Also is prison the best solution to his addiction?  I frankly don't think so.


Not really surprised, Canadians generally like to think of themselves this way.  More than anything those are very broad values that people from any party can support.  Wedge issues tend to play to people's darker sides which Canadians are not immune to although I think having seen the damage they cause elsewhere that probably makes them a huge turnoff at the moment at least.


Hey, Thad, welcome to the PDN!

Are you the famous brother who lived briefly in PA and thus gave Kurt the eternal right to tell us what to do?


I remember getting a sex ed class from Planned Parenthood.  It was really weird.  They said we should discourage the term STD's because it was too stigmatizing and  instead say sexual transmitted infections (STIs).  That was an attempt to indoctrinate rather than educate.

However, they did actually provide some actual value to abstinence education.  They talked about the different levels of intimate contact and a stopping point well short of "petting" so that things didn't get out of control.  That was actually solid advice to provide a different stopping point so that kids don't get to the "can I just put in the tip" thinking that can't result in STDs or pregnancy.


Seems like being from the former Soviet Union would be a pretty legit education on communism. Do you know "literally everyone" from the former Soviet Union? Hard to lend any credence to your argument.


sometimes I like to poke the bear, boy are they touchy!


If the federal lieberals are anything like the provincial version here in Ontar-we-owe, where they were willing to spend over a billion dollars to save two seats, we are in dire straits.

The slide down the slippery slope has begun!


You clearly didn't read the article... The explanation and a completely reasonable one is ALL THE OTHER COMPANIES WANTED MONEY UP FRONT.  Only one company was foolish enough to make a contract and not demand a significant amount of the contract payment up front.


I am amazed that you were able to identify ALL the "black civilians" who work for, with or support Senator Sessions. How many exactly was that?

FYI, all those "voting block" civilians are "real people" who support those "black" politicians you mention.

Now I do not know if Jeff Sessions is a bigot. I do not know if he is a racist.
I do know that he thinks certain people are beneath him.....

I'll let you make that call, y'all.


Yeah, you missed that part because Trump had to keep his mouth shut due to his own history of betraying his marriage vows (which was my point).

Hillary has not betrayed her vows.


It ain't like hand picking coffee beans. Not everyone signs up to be a "swabby"...
;-)


PS - A third request: if you have never read Ayn Rand, please don't because I think it will only increase the likelihood of #2 above.


Very sorry to see you go.  Thank you for your contributions to the important discussions in our state.


Capitol Hill police details and secret service personnel no doubt stopped what would have been a massacre-- Isn't it great that these elected officials had armed details to protect them?  The same ones protecting Nancy Pelsoi, Michael Bloomburg, and state Democrats seeking to strip away gun rights for the rest of us law abiding citizens.  Now is the time to oppose knee-jerk reactions by Congressional Democrats and those who would exploit this event to further their anti-2nd Amendment zealotry.


I will certainly miss Mad Dog in the house.

"...as a former teacher, what grade would the prime minister give his government's performance on access to information?"


This project is vital to the economy of BC and must proceed ,it will produce affordable energy at a fraction of the price of alternatives and is sustainable into the foreseeable future.
The WAC Bennett dams serve as an excellent example of what a boon a little foresight can bring.
As for the First Nations be assured they will get their share of profits and benefits.
Enough of the tree huggers and green supporters .


I find it comforting to know that there are still places where humans are not the apex species and are subject to another species rule. The Arctic and the ocean are two such places. Not so long ago it was the entire planet. Hang in there polar bears the smelly bearded people will soon go home.


Thank you so much!  The lack of historical education re the 14th Amendment is appalling.

Education is obviously sorely needed on this subject, after  reading through some of these comments.

All Trump has to do for now is a Executive Action.


Wrong. The old USSR fell apart because it got mired in the middle east, Afghanistan in particular, and bankrupted itself. It was too busy fighting the cold war, and pushing for control over its oil supply, instead of using its considerable ability to find renewable resources and implement them.
They were out of touch, but it was with the reality of science, not with its own people, just like our previous government.


Suffer the little children... for their parents spending their grant money on booze and tik. Suffer the child headed households whose elder kids have to prostitute themselves to feed the younger ones. Suffer the babies left alone all day and fed once a day because older sibling has to work in some way or form to get food. We need food stamps, not more grant money.


Maybe, but as massive unemployment and poverty (and environmental collapse) spread, they'll have to kill off anything even resembling democratic elections to stop it from happening.


Will never happen - "evaluating the viability and acceptability of potential regional-road use charging alternatives for motor vehicles."   - It would be political suicide worse than the screw up on BC's HST mess up.


Excellent! A hefty promotion and pay raise for failure. Only in (Liberal) government. Your tax dollars and mine.


Good point.

Indeed, if City Hall bought all the properties in the six mile by six mile square of land between twelfth and fifty seventh that is between Dunbar and Victoria, and turned it in to a big park, the density of Vancouver would drop a lot and there would be more park space available.

Maybe Burnaby and Surrey and Delta and Richmond could replicate that in their neighbourhoods. Think of it as the wise Trout Lake move on a larger scale. A wise idea indeed.

Sarcasm off.


Don't both seeking my sympathy for all those people dying of drug overdoses out west when the government is so happily setting up this easy entree into the world of drugs. And later on, the street side addicts will complain about the smart ones who ignore all this drug stuff and apply themselves to making successes of their lives. It's so much easier to get ahead when the competition is half stoned.


Lets pray Bozo doesn't have an eruption.
Given the amount of debt Toronto home owners have and the largest sub sovereign debt in the world the slightest trade war would spell  disaster.for Ontario.
We have No wiggle room left to stand on our own 2 feet, its been financed away!!!


This does sound a bit like Censorship, am I wrong?


So a "conservative" estimate is that at least 85% of the calls support the Affordable Care Act and not confirming Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education?


Yes, it looks like Indivisible Hawaii is just another vehicle that Hillary Clinton supporters are using to try to tear down Tulsi. Tulsi is doing so much for Hawaii and has real aloha. These kind of smear tactics is what caused us to end up with Trump. Let’s uplift the leaders with integrity and aloha, like Tulsi, instead of tearing them down.


"A technology-enabled, AI-smart public service could not only be more efficient and provide better services"
Thank you for my morning laugh!  The deadwood that comprise 90% of the redundant paper-shufflers can be made "more efficient" with today's technology - but there is no appetite for this.  Why would government, and their public sector union masters, want to apply anything that might affect the bloated headcount?


@G&M monitor and your exaggeration of “censured” this comment;
Islamophobia ???...NO!
“...The problem was the inadequate approach to the Islamic Center, who wanted to have his cemetery without the consent of the population. I assure you that the inhabitants of Saint-Apollinaire are not against a Muslim cemetery, them.
They wanted to share the ground, because they also need this field”

Good job, Turkish police. Now hang these criminals and move on.


It's not a money problem. We over-fund medicare already, and it leads to endless malaise.


Haha then maybe it will be hillary grouping men in the white house instead of bill. Let's not forget our fellow Americans that died because her stupid a$$ denied them help, went home and slept through the presidential briefing! Yeah, let's put a lazy, pathological liar in office! She lied about being under fire in Bosnia, lied about benghazi, lied about being "dead broke", lied about.. you get the point, the list goes on and on and on! She can't tell the truth to save her life! I wonder if Hillary is even her name. She could fix the economy with her wonderful money management skills! She was "dead broke" when bill left the white house, then they went and bought not one but two multimillion dollar homes! Hillary is a joke! And a bad one at that! Just what did she actually accomplish as Secretary of State? (Crickets) Her and Bill can run around calling names all they want, we all know what they are! You can shine a turd all you want but at the end of the day it's still a piece of s|-|¡T


You obviously are not a home owner. Otherwise, you would be more concerned with your home and protecting it from thieves.


Eric Norstog, please. I am the only Eric Norstog in the world. There are no Norsteds  in the world, and I have met and know every single Norstog and Nordstog, both from a farm in Bo, Norway near the Arctic circle who all emigrated to the US in the 1880's. I am 70 and Gary is older; I speak for myself when I say I will never box again. Gary is a big guy and he can make that choice for himself. I prefer reasonable discussion. Best wishes, Eric Norstog.


Where does it say in the Constitution he cannot pardon himself? Hmmmm.......It doesn't, does it?


Those who take the drug long enough will get addicted, period. The old drug company propaganda that there are addictive personalities, that people in pain don't get addicted, that prescribed narcs don't cause addiction but instead people just develop a tolerance were always BS and I spent years arguing with doctors and others about that.


Maybe $230, or $2300?  I guess the point is that those books should be open, at least to credible investigation on the public behalf.  At the very least we now know that Adam Andrzejewski is the founder and CEO of OpenTheBooks.com, which claims to be the largest private database of government spending.  So is this letter basically an advertising flyer?


"Abomination" is an approximation of the Hebrew "To'aiva". In fact homosexual relations are twice called a To’aiva.

Usually the Rabbis do not explain the meaning of Torah words. And the meaning of abomination seems reasonably clear - it is abhorrent to God. But in this case, the Talmud does offer a specific explanation. Based on a play on the Hebrew words, the Talmud says that in the act of homosexuality, the person is straying.

The commentaries on the Talmud say that by abandoning heterosexual sexual relations, the person is straying from one of his prime goals in life - to procreate and populate the earth. Although the rabbis did not use the term "natural law", this is precisely what they are describing.

In fact orthodox Judaism and Catholicism see the matter identically.

Attempting to gloss this with supposed reference to the Canaanites to feign some sort of moral basis for the acceptability homosexual behavior is totally Western and 20th century phenomenon. Period.


What evidence will it take for you to believe that Trump colluded with the Russians?  His kid certainly tried, it appears that wasn't enough, so what will be enough evidence?


Gee Larry, where are the citations? 97%? There must be at least one.


You're probably right about most people.   I can't speak for most people.   I do have other sites that I visit, I also like going off to research a topic that comes up.   But this site is the only local one that I know about.   If you have others, let me know.


"This administration runs like a highly-tuned engine"

 He put his thumb and forefinger together when he said this, so it must be the truth.


Exactly!  If there were two or three brave guys like him it may not have happened at all, or far less.
Nice post xbt.  By the way, I own several guns, but have never used them.  I will use them for defense only.  I dont even hunt with them, and refuse to glamorize them.  They are there for one reason only.


It strikes me that GM is jumping from the fire into the frying pan by moving this operation to Mexico given the possibility of Trump's border access tax.

In the short term, Putin's POTUS will lift company profits. But history shows that private sector job growth is better under democratic adminstrations.
http://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2016/6/the-economy-under-democratic-vs-republican-presidents

This is because republicans concentrate wealth in the hands of a few, while democrats provide for the many, and the purchasing power of the many is what drives the economy forward.


Coded?  Conspiracy theorist?  How you got white supremists out of Jerry L.'s post is EXACTLY the problem with the left.  Someone disagrees with you and they are racist.  What exactly is racist in the post?


Basically there are 3 groups of PERA stakeholders - employers, employees and retirees.  The PERA trust fund is in trouble for 3 main reasons - PERA members are living longer, economic stagnation as far as the eye can see, and legislative meddling and mismanagement.  There is a matter of fairness here, as I'll try to explain.  It is fair that employees pay more to make up for demographic change, or increased life spans.  It is fair that retirees give back some of their COLA to make up for a changing, slower growing economy.  It is also fair that employers (i.e., taxpayers) contribute more to help mitigate legislative mismanagement.  I and many others who have charted PERA's course over the years can cite many examples of mismanagement.

So, as I have outlined above, fairness dictates that all three parties contribute towards funding PERA's unfunded liability.  Employees should contribute more due to demographic change, retirees due to economic change, and employers due to mismanagement.


A truly appropriate (or accurate?) public manifestation and representation of the current administration.
The now "head" messenger of the GOP.
American leadership making "America Great Again".
What an unmitigated embarassment.
Everything we THOUGHT the Fonz actually was when he wasn't with the Cunninghams is now the person that speaks for the US government.


This service animal scam is out of control and claiming PTSD is out of control. Used to be you had to fake a back injury to milk Uncle Sugar. Now you just say you saw a dead guy once and you're on the gravy train for life. Let's just make all parking spaces handicapped parking, allow all animals everyplace, and give every veteran lifetime full disability benefits. That way we save money by cutting out the lawyers.


As sad as the eastern teams are, the race to the top is tightening up.


Are you for  real?


Why go through an FOI if it is so transparent?


I agree that our airport is in poor condition.  But, we don't need another "new airport authority" to fix it.  What we need is for our State DOT to do the job they are paid to do.


"Sheep" is a kind way of putting it when one considers the social programs in jeopardy, the immigration/deportation disaster, the health care "repeal and replace" debacle, the proposed tax "reform" changes that promise bigly breaks to the richest citizens and corporations -- all of which Mr. Trump campaigned on (although he may not have mentioned the tax breaks -- surprise!).


Trump campaigned everyday at several events.
Hillary took  days off and ignored the low paid/unemployed Democrats. She ran a lousy campaign and that is why she lost. Her gender did not cause her defeat.
At the start of the campaign cycle I fully expected her to win.


If only the murderer had a gun, he could shoot all the other shoppers.  Then the police could eliminate all the dead people as suspects very efficiently and the paperwork could all be correctly filled out in record time.


Which is more likely:
(1) Several thousand scientists colluded to falsify climate research and get more grant money
Or...
(2) Oil and gas multinationals funded a disinformation campaign about climate research to protect hundreds of billions in profit


Apparently the Wynne government likes the Venezuelan economic model.


24 of the 27 smallest pop states now ignored, could not be MORE ignored.

2016, 94% of the campaign events were in just 12 states (containing only 30% of the country's population).
2012, more than 99% of presidential campaign attention (ad spending and visits) was invested on voters in just 10 states.
2008, candidates concentrated over 2/3rds of their campaign events and ad money in 6 states, and 98% in 15.
2004, candidates concentrated over 2/3rds of their money and campaign visits in 5 states; over 80% in 9 states; and over 99% of their money in 16.

There is no evidence to support your beliefs.  In the 4 battleground states that got 2/3rds (176 of 253) of the 2012 general-election campaign events, and a similar fraction of campaign expenditures, campaigns were proportional-to-population in various parts of the states.

TV, costs much more per impression in big cities than in smaller towns and rural area. Candidates get more bang for the buck in smaller towns and rural areas.


Same for the government-mandated supply management system regulating chicken, egg and turkey production. As in dairy, supply-management significantly increases costs which makes it virtually impossible for food processors to use these farm products  to make foodstuffs that can be sold outside of Canada.


I find the specific analogy of Trinity/obedience disconcerting. Maybe it's just beyond me. But I think I get the concept. I would call the "obedience" of the Three more as "in sync" - utter mutuality of understanding of source, objective and process and erupting in synco-patious concensus judgment.
I also like the "lamentation" but would suggest it more like the "groaning" of  birthing, seedling emerging, the leg pains of an adolescent, all expressed in different ways from the "joy"/pain of birth, evolution, to the suffering in poverty, injustice, illness, anger, angst, despair....
And I get it that Jesus was not "obedient" in the sense of doing what he was told, or fulfilling an agreement/mission that he wished he hadn't entered into.  It was the obedience of ineffible discernment, a sort of consultation among the Three wherein Jesus the man was fully in scyn with/as the Christ but as Jesus the man confronting the lamentation of such pain.
Trying to grasp God is sorta challenging.


You have to suspect a raging case of TDS- Trump Derangement Symptom- in this author's case. Consider his astonishing statement:

"The United States is closer to a war – perhaps more than one – than any time since 2003."

Really? The United States went to war against Yugoslavia in 1999, under Clinton. Then it went to war in Afghanistan in 2001 under Bush, where they're still at it.. America went into Iraq in 2003, then Obama launched his 100,000 soldier "surge" into Afghanistan shortly after winning the election in 2008. Obama went on make war against Libya (2011) and then armed and trained the terrorists that drove the Syrian Civil War (2012- )

The USA is currently making war in Iraq and Syria, ostensibly against Islamic State. Then there were numerous drone attacks over the entire period in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. Then add in the threats of war that the US made repeatedly against Iran.

If he gets his own war, Trump will merely be carrying on an American tradition.


So the shooting was fake?


Black people in the USA had to fight for inclusion in sports. Movies have been made about that. Today the numbers are the way they are based on hard won battles. In SA, if resistance to transformation goes away, cricket ad rugby might actually remain white dominated and that will be accepted because there would be no barriers to any one  participating.


Where all the Chump supporters (RadirD, como_estas, JSB1, who else?) for me to congratulate on so much winning? They are bigly absent.


It wasn't the man, it was the physical evidence!


You're repugnant.


We have a lot of homeless, maybe put them on Kahoolawe and start the test.


At the meeting of the House Committee on Transportation, a number of people (including me) testified in support of Senate Bill 1183, SD2 as written, meaning that there would be no extension of the rail surcharge past 2027 but the state’s ten percent cut of the surcharge would be eliminated. The mayor, HART interim CEO, contractors, and unions all supported the bill; however, they wanted a surcharge extension. The mayor, of course, again raised the threat of increasing property taxes without an extension. Following all of the testimony, Chair Aquino brought up House Draft 1, leaving the ending date for the surcharge open; a vote was quickly taken and the bill passed with HD1. That draft is still not even on the Legislature’s Web site but it was obviously just sitting on the desk in front of Aquino and all of the testimony was meaningless. I hope that Finance Chair Luke will kill HD1 and force the city to make some real decisions on how to complete rail with the estimated $6.8 billion.


If they're illegals don't they have criminal records by definition?  That means rounding up 11 million and deporting them, right?

The key to any disaster is to BE PREPARED, not be UNPREPARED, the Cascadia Subsuduction is more than 300 years overdue of a Major or Great Quake. It's better to prepare and practice now, than having to do and worry about it when the SHTF and more as it will create a chaotic atmosphere where most will now know what to do and what they have stored in their preparedness or disaster kits.

Those that are injured, panicked and the lawless will however be taken cared for at one time or another, it'll take some time to get national guard units into those hard hit areas to supplement to the law enforcement efforts and more.

Remember prepare yourself, family, neighbors than worry about helping your neighborhood and more after those priorities are met and done with, than help where you can, they'll need all the help after the big one jerks loose.


I don't care what the Yes voters say, they will never get my vote in the future, ever!  And I will encourage my family and friends to do the same.


If someone can explain why the above keeps dropping, I would appreciate it.  It is certainly civil.  Compared to a lot of what is allowed to stand, it is downright polite.


Is it better to live in fear as the N Korean people do everyday as they have no choice. We have a choice as grim as it is, I feel we can do a better job with peace by removing or men from S. Korea and stopping war games totally useless to be there. Maybe its time to include them in the world and not isolate them as they are forced to live in crappy conditions. All in exchange for reducing Nukes . We need a peace agreement to end the war with N. Korea.


"Mainstream christians" are no different than"mainstream muslims", both seek peace. Your current idol, Donnie T, wants to torture muslims.
I suppose you do as well. Am I right?


Plenty of blame on both sides for this shameful incident.

This was not a case of refusing boarding, it was a case of removing passengers who had already boarded. It was not a case of overbooking, but of expecting employees to be given priority over passengers, at the very last minute. What kind of planning is that?

United should have other ways of getting its employees to their work other than bumping paying passengers. As others have pointed out, they could have gotten there by car in not much longer.

But that said, the consumer culture of "the client is King" has gotten out of hand when even a mature adult, a professional, thinks it is perfectly reasonable to react in this histrionic way to life's inevitable setbacks. What if the plane had been delayed for mechanical reasons or weather reasons, would he also have had a fit? He sounds like a diva. Is this how he deals with conflicts at his hospital? Is this now the accepted way of dealing with consumer disputes?

Thank you Senator Murkowski for standing strong on health care position and doing what is right for all Alaskans.  You and Senator Collins should be on committee to improve the Affordable Care Act --- take time to get it right vs. fast track to nowhere.

The report appears to be at a sufficient high level that it is difficult to pinpoint causes and solution. If government austerity is affecting minorities more, is that because minorities tend to be poorer, and austerity tends to hit the poor the hardest?

Also, the Canadian experience has people wondering about length of abode in the country. Are the minorities recent immigrants, or are they descendants of immigrants from the 1950s, when Britain allowed people from its former empire to immigrate? If the problem persists into the 3rd generation, that is a bigger problem than for recent immigrants. But then what is the class mobility in Britain? If it is low, maybe it is just that immigrants who start at the bottom don't see their children move up, like the native lower classes.


It is just such a big scam in the making......


Another racist comment. What if someone during President Obama's administration said, "Sorry, White Anglo saxons cannot accept him. Do you ever listen to yourself?


In the picture accompanying this article the lunatic tRUMP is holding a rainbow flag upside down that has been written on with a magic marker and a stupid smirk on his face. Why didn't he just wipe his but with the flag a be done with it. He has no intention of protecting any LGBT rights in this country


Emotional truths is just another for "faith" which has very to do with factual truths.


Perhaps you can explain why that matters. If a woman kills another woman, would you ignore it because they are "authoring their own demise"?


The term "settler", as used in this context, certainly comes across as pejorative. If it's descriptive, it is often inaccurate; in what manner is someone who was born here, with mixed aboriginal and European ancestry, a settler? Where did such a person come from in order to settle here? No, in this context, the term is used to deny the legitimacy of occupancy to some but not others.


yes trump and Flynn were sleeper agents

anything else to add?


Good point!

I believe that, other than in the gay community, there isn't as much tax money to be made for our budgets, but I certainly think equality of financial opportunity and equality of taxation is the way to go!

Group gropes; whatever!  Have fun, pay for your fun and support the 'childrun' with your taxes!


In another commentary utterly lacking in understanding the situation at hand, President Trump succeeded in both missing the point of his visit to Puerto Rico and managed to be dismissive to the plight of his hosts. Comparing two disasters, Hurricane Katrina and Maria, with each other and their impacts upon their respective victims was a so not disguised backhand to the people of Puerto Rico. Then bringing up the F-35 fighter plane in his remarks, which had nothing to do with why he was there, left everyone listening doubting his ability to stay on topic. Exhibiting sensitivity and generosity may not have been in evidence on the reality show he once fronted but they are necessary attributes of a president attempting to comfort fellow US citizens in their time of need.


Ferguson Issues:
1) The Ferguson report stated that over 90% of the arrests made in that town were of blacks, which make up about 67% of the population. That stat isn't indicative of a crime problem; it means that whites are arrested at a much lower rate.
2) Between 2012 and 2014, there were 14 people whose single offense listed in the report was "resisting arrest". All 14 were black.
3) Use of racial epithets by police towards blacks.
4) E-mails among police and court staff that stereotype racial minorities as criminals....including jokes about abortions as a method for crime control. Distasteful in a run of the mill office setting....flat out wrong and disgusting to be done by city and police personnel.
5) Black male accused of being a pedophile for sitting in his car after playing basketball because there were kids at the park.....then cited for giving a false name (used Mike instead of Michael when asked his name).  Man was ordered out of his car and patted down with no cause.


After two generations of progressive education starting with Daddy Trudeau in Canada, it appears that most Canadians are indoctrinates of the left and incapable of linear thinking and the ability to apply valid epistemology criteria to determine what is factual and what is opinion.  Now mind you,  all of you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.  Now some facts.

The Congressional Oversight Committee demanded two days ago that the CIA and other agencies who claim that the Russians cyber-interfered in the Presidential election brief them on the validity and proof of this allegation.  The CIA and the other agencies refused saying the White House told them not to.  The FBI alone stated there is zero evidence of anyone, the Russians, the Chinese, or Joe the Geek in his pajamas cyber- interfering with the Presidential election.  No single incident is offered as proof nor a source named.  One must conclude this is leftist propaganda to legitimize President Elect Trump.


After all these resignations, Trump is going to hold a Florida rally to "Soothe His Bruised Ego"

Public spaces are to be used for the public, not monopolized, camped on, defecated in, urinated on, littered on etc etc etc. I pay $4500 a year for the privilege to live in this city. The people you mention are subsidized by that, and the TAXPAYERS do have a say in how Eugene is governed, which includes how our public spaces are used.


"97% Consensus Lie"

That is another one of many lies from you.  There is not enough space here to explain it in detail, but every attempted rebuttal of Cook (2013) has been based on egregious errors in math and logic by the alleged "debunkers."
1) They define consenusus incorrectly as the number of papers with quantitative evidence for AGW.  Nope.  Consensus means general agreement among experts that AGW is valid.  That is the way Cook defined it.
2) They incorrectly include papers that are irrelevant to the question in the denominator, making the fraction arbitrarily small.  Cook correctly culled out "no position" papers.
3) They ignore a theorem that the sum of probabilities of all outcomes in sample space must = 1.  Cook satisfied that theorem.

Besides, you have the fact that not a single science organization or society in the world disagrees with AGW, which affirms the seven published papers on this subject.

PopTech is a disinformation site.


Yes, we do differ on that assessment.  Every party has a fringe lunatic portion of its membership.  i.e. the fringe are obsessive about a certain policy.
And Thank You for a reasonable response.


Enough with the b/s. There is no "change" to SS other than the Baby Boom.

By law, from day one, any surplus is invested in U.S. gov't bonds.

If they invested the surplus in stocks (which would mean SS would soon own ALL stocks) you'd be complaining about socialism in America.

If you're "no longer collecting enough revenue to support the payment of benefits" then you collect more revenue. It's not difficult unless you (or more accurately, the 1%ers) want it to be so.

Learned Helplessness isn't cute in children; it's even less cute from you.


If you have an employee and you fire them solely because they're a minority, I believe you will have run afoul of the wall.


Sanford:

"Obama squanders his post-election mandate by not crushing the Wall Street thieves who crashed the economy."

 The same Wall Street thieves that Hillary is so indebted too? She has taken millions from both investment and credit banks and is enjoying a lot of support from most of Wall Street.

"The ACA is failing because corporate insurance is at the heart of it."

 So perhaps signing it before both reading it and having the proper oversight in place might not have been such a smart idea, and who should one place the blame for both the ACA and Oregon's lackluster opening of coverage, Democrats crafted or were in charge of both plans and for the oversight for seeing them implemented.

 While both parties like to take the credit when things go as planned, which is far too seldom, they are both far too quick to blame the other party, when taking the blame for their shortcomings.

Bull, it is Liberal Privilege. There is a couple in Oregon that lost a lot of money and their bakery because they refused to go against their beliefs.That was ok but you can withhold services if the election does not go your way? Double standard.


Why would anyone leave a goat country for a non-goat country?

It makes no sense.


I agree that the West made serious errors and naive assumptions about Syria but that scarcely means that Assad is some sort of wonderful leader. This is a man who committed numerous war crimes, who tortured and murdered children, used poison gas against his own people and bombed civilians.

The West's foolishness doesn't excuse Assad's appalling behaviour.


Carolyn Coller,
A free country where the person who gets the least votes wins the election? The Electoral College is undemocratic and undermines the doctrine of one man one vote, by giving small states a greater voice in determining the president than large states.

For example, Wyoming has a population of 586,107 and 3 electoral votes. That's one EV for every 195,369 people. Neighboring Colorado has a population of 5,456,574, and 9 EVs. That's one EV for every 606,286 people. Why should Wyoming votes count three times more than Colorado?

Maybe we should adopt this for statewide elections in Alaska. Make Bush Alaska votes count three times more than urban Alaska. Would that be fair? Otherwise urban areas dominate and rural communities simply do not have a vote that counts, according to your logic.


Your right ...the crazy Mormons in Utah get into a lot of cover up stuff just because of their insane beliefs.


And it never came to pass that  Barry Obama wouldn't give Justin a ticker tape parade down Pennsylvania Ave. Oh, this hurts!


It sounds fine but I believe that any "plan" needs to address subsistence harvests first, both fishing and hunting.  Subsistence should always be the priority.


Where did you read "everything" in the original comment?


Pretty sure that comment could be made of most countries including the Dutch.  In fact, not mentioned much is that the Dutch were here when the French and British were during colonization and they were raping a killing First Nations.  In fact according to the FN it was only the French that acted with a modicum of civility.   More recently American raping and pillaging in Vietnam.   Lots of bad to go around and war always turns people into less compassionate people.
