Denver's "offensive" line is really, really, really bad.  They cannot run block, and they cannot pass block.  I can't think of a "quick fix" for this, but I can tell you that it would make ZERO difference moving to another QB.


so if it is proven that Trump and his associates acted in concert with the Russians to meddle in the election- will this finally be enough for the Trumpeters to disavow this scoundrel and traitor, if not, what could be enough?  This devotion to something so obviously wrong is Nazi type scary, would they drink the kool aid too.  Pleas end this Presidency.


Don't forget the billions  federal employees in Quebec receive  in pay cheques and  benefits.  Could quebec survive the loss of  Ottawa's payroll?  That is completely independent of transfers and spending programs, and nobody talks about it.


Provide a list of all the Trump policies that led to this.


Is it not that the columns on Farrington  stand on a foundation of concrete piles driven over 100 feet into the ground.


I really can't predict whether the country is entering into racial (or any other) fascism.  Trump's picks for key posts, however, are so far an ominous indicator of the direction he wants to go.  His ego is so huge and his skin so thin, he is open to manipulation by anyone who know how to play politics.


The envy of the world for their fiscal responsibility following  the 2008 world depression.      Look what we have now, no depression  but a $35 Billion/year deficit forecast until 2050.  Why pretend that the Liberals are not becoming an economic disaster for Canada as they have been for Ontario.


“We don’t believe that bans have ever worked on anything," says ONLY nation with both no bans but routine mass shootings.


Hawaii has a sad record of incompetence when it comes to protecting abused children.  It also has a sad record reverencing life in any form.  It is a wretched place for most children.


The warming periods last 11500 years but this one has already lasted 12000 years. We are 500 years late. But the CO2 increase started 150 years ago (+/- a few years). Could you help me out here and explain the other 350 years please?


A just started rumour (OK, just started by me) is that Trudeau and Wynne have put their heads together, formed a solid surface, and come up with a sure fire winner for their 2019 and 2018 elections.

With his long lasting admiration for the Chinese dictatorship, his eagerness to strike a free trade deal with the Chinese communists, the knowledge that the Chinese government now offers public toilets every kilometer in the big cities, and the desire to highlight the roll out next year of the federal legalization of pot initiative, the PM has come out with a sure vote getting scheme.

Starting in 2018, there will be pot, bong and potato chips superstores every kilometer in the major cities operated by a joint (pun intended) partnership between the feds and each province.   Complete with  drive through windows and catchy government slogans all over the walls such as "Hope and Dope", "Canada Really is Going to Pot" and "Take the High Road, Buds" these will be sure vote and revenue tools.


pulling a jumbo out of a nostril


I'm prejudiced against men of straw.


But what about our artificial economic health- our number one and number two sole economic sources of the majority of our entire well-being are inextricably dependent on... The Tourist Industry, and Military funding and spending.

Serously. And don’t depend on Melanieanuses. I’ve only met one who can change a tire. The others try to use a YouTube video and still didn’t succeed. Seriously.

Our whole survival- monies, lands, natural resources- are dependent and contrived
to be largely and directly effected by the whims of murder and war and taking entitled privileged and luxury vacations from murder and war.

Diversify our economic portfolio, make subsistence not just a “fuck it-fake ideal” but REALITY.

Because right now we are setting ourselves up for starvation and death. Its not if but when as history proves over over again here in Hawaii.

There are easier ways to get a bovine to where you want it.


The distinction between b&b rooms and "commercial" units is an important one. Spare rooms are not easily (economically) converted to rentable ADUs.


So people who want to own firearms are now absolutely insane as you say.
Guess that makes law enforcement insane too. May you never have a visit at 0 dark thirty from someone wanting to do you harm and you have no way to protect yourself.


"National security experts say America's diffuse voting system, where states manage their own databases, makes it more secure from hackers.

Numerous news reports have documented how Russian hackers penetrated the election systems in as many as 39 states last year."....

Uh.........huh?


Sounds like the price of healthcare will be moving higher here in Alaska if the bill passes in current form. It will not only add more admin fees which get passed on directly to the consumer, but it will also add more doctor visits that further burden the patient load of the physicians while running up the tab for patients and insurance billing.


Terry Glavin at the National Post wrote an article a few weeks ago that compared Trudeau to Trump. He made a very interesting case that when you get past the superficial bluster, the two aren't that different and will probably get along just fine. Both born to privilege and campaigned on a fake populist agenda, both are committed to privatizing publicly owned infrastructure and assets, and as is becoming clearer by the day, both have uncomfortably close connections to authoritarian dictatorships.


Keala R. Kaanui, It was a long time ago when Ala Moana Center allowed UH students to park there and catch a bus to campus. That's when Ala Moana Center had lots of empty parking spaces. It's doubtful that the Center would do that now because parking is to tight. You're right that the rail station would increase business for Ala Moana Center. But the business would be more from people taking rail TO Ala Moana Center, not so much from people taking rail FROM there.  So it is doubful that the Center will provide parking for rail passengers.  If you have information to the contrary, please provide it.  Meanwhile, the rail project plans to build park-and-ride facilities at only 4 rail stations, and Ala Moana Center is not one of them.


The organizers have since DISINVITED a pro life group. It seems the only women that count are those who believe abortion should be kept legal.


And there's still time to backbench McKenna  before parliament resumes tomorrow.  But I suppose the root cause is Butts, who will be tougher to neutralize.


Rosemary cannot seem to stop giggling (Power and Politics)and often comes across as glib.  She also seriously needs a wardrobe consultant....her outfits almost always destroy her credibility.


Very good series, Eric.

Robbie Alm is correct that we only build infrastructure once.  Hawaii continues to live in its past.  We certainly have a growing population and limited resources (islands' state) that come at a high cost for a service network such as HECO and consumers.  The monopoly of old as it relates to our electrical needs is no longer relevant.  Having any large company come to bolster HECO and a stronger monopoly is not the model for today and our future.  Neither is more outside competition that brings more residents and is a strain to all infrastructures (housing, health, environment, law enforcement, etc.).  As a state we need to do less importing of outside resources (fuel and conglomerates) and develop more self sustaining structures of energy (solar,etc.) and invest in our people (education).  Hawaii's people have become pawns to power brokers (tourism, rail unions, super pacs) that are deep threats to a sustainable island lifestyle (not homeless).


Its not MOPED parking that I'm concerned about, but illegal loud mufflers that haven't been fixed that continue to roam the streets in Kalihi late at night/early mornings.

HPD needs to crack down on these illegal moped owners that happen to be millennials in violation of the law.


Oh my God and Heaven, how absolutely corrupt our politicians in Salem have become!!!   They are going to repeal the Corporate Income Tax, which will save countless millions for the filthy rich corporations like Nike, Intel, and Comcast.  In return, this Gross Receipts Tax is nothing more than a hidden sales tax, which corporations will simply pass on for consumers to pay.

The general public: the ordinary citizen, is getting screwed big time here.  This matter is absolute proof that Salem is now controlled by corporations and special interests.  The people of Oregon soundly defeated a tax on Gross Sales in last November's election.   Have our leaders all forgotten that?  Democracy, a government that is of, by, and for the people, does not exist in Oregon anymore.

Our current leaders in Salem are clearly frauds.  They don't represent the people.   They are lapdogs to special interests and corporations.  This is a very underhanded and treacherous deal.

Our state is going to the dogs.


Egypt cannot have a Muslim leader either as we have recently witnessed. Coup detat.


best comment I have heard so far:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22OVZOx8-s


They were ridiculing him, sky. Try and keep up.


Also, Obama's crowd was big because supporters thought they were going to start handing out free stuff right away.


Meanwhile of course Jay is taking full advantage of his COSATU springboard into "consulting" (J&J) and making heaps of the loot he finds so filthy when made by others; I won't guess who made theirs more honestly. Then he also birthed the Eskom debacle back when he was a cabinet minister. It would not surprise me if his company wasn't "consulting" to the ANC right now on nuclear power either. He epitomises sanctimonious.


I get your point, and I can see why parents want to be able to decide what kind of education their children receive. But if we look at it from a child's rights perspective, don't sexually mature individuals (those capable of sexual reproduction) have a right to biologically accurate information about how their bodies work, along with information about how to avoid unwanted sexual advances? What about families that don't  protect their children, even those families that are loving and well-meaning but oblivious? Don't "minors" still have rights that should not be set aside by requiring parental consent? Given the fact that sexual ignorance can be life-threatening and place young people in harm's way, I think we need to entertain the notion that children are human beings with rights of their own, not the property of parents to control as they wish.


the mayor has a lot of gall to shift blame on others and to think we are gullible to believe his spew. 95,000 to 100,000 tourist a day traveling Nimitz to Waikiki, really?"impacts safety/health"!  I didn't know.  doesn't want to see the encampments expand! this didn't grow over night. danny garcia "ready to lose it all"! when you have nothing, losing it all is not stressful. Caldwell: the State could use help with enforcement, frustrated with Legislature, State could have stepped up and done their part with sit-lie, instead City is filling in the vacuum. this doesn't sound like a mayor that need financial help from the State to fill in their vacuum of an over budget and delayed Rail project. $78,000 annually for homeless clean up crew, every year this is in the budget, same results every year.


Fake news?  Who's the source of this news?


Casandra and Chris in Ottawa....the bobbsy twins shilling for a loosing cause.


You can't make this stuff up: A person asks him in English about the difficulty of getting English service (about mental health, no less) in Quebec and he answers the person in French.  Hilarious!  You see, these "town halls" are not really about us, the people, they're about HIM.  The questions are not to provide information to the questioner, they are really about him and his opportunity to campaign while ostensibly "working".  On election night he said it's about us, repeatedly, but in fact that was not the truth.  For the Narcissist in Chief, everything is always about him.


Hmmm found this after seeing Austin's pic on the FB page of the friends involved with Grunwald & Woodford deaths. What ever happened with this case? Is there a connection?


You do not love your country more than when you can complain about it. If you do not like discontent, and the freedom to have it, perhaps you are correct. We are losing our freedom.


Lock Em Up throw in the Keys.


Jesse Farmer 293 - Yes, you would find scientific references boring...


Let's rewind this tape. After the Broncos beat Dallas, Kiszla said that put the NFL on notice and Denver's defense was back, reminding people of the Super Bowl win over Carolina.
Now, Kiszla says Denver needs a new coach.

That is what has bugged me about the Denver press for many years. They put X team on the pedestal and then are the first to criticize when things don't go their way (knowing they have been embarrassed by not having met expectations). Kiszla also alluded to the Rockies in the World Series in May. (I wrote alluded). How did that turn out?

Kiszla, maybe your lesson is to analyze each week at a time, not have these visions of excess.


: why does everyone dislike your comments?


If you don't know the meaning of the word "deflection" you probably shouldn't use it in a sentence. And stop assuming you know what her "actions" were since you don't actually know. The den was wrong to kick out the kid. And that action proves nothing whatsoever about your imaginary scenarios of bullying and societal persecution.


Where was the EFF? They blocked the highways! Why didn't the EFF remove them? And despite the fact that a police officer was assaulted, it doesn't sound like the riot police with their rubber bullets were deployed!


Brady can be taken off his game by some hits and look for some late ones, roughing the passer type by the Steelers Harrison and Dupree, similar to how Denver last year and Ravens before that beat the Patriots.  And Big Ben can lead scoring drives when needed.  With no Gronk the Pats can be upset.


Give and inch and....you know what's next.


I would venture that Tammie Wilson is sympathetic to constituents' concerns because she's in a safe, right-leaning district.  Not mentioned is the fact that OCS is a political breeding ground for the left  (e.g. Tom Begich, Bettye Davis, Karen Perdue, just to name a few).  I figure that in some districts, taking on OCS as a legislator who has to stand for re-election every two or four years is tantamount to painting a bullseye on your back.


you wanted the job then do it! a week holiday - ok but that is way too much - even though you are working down there - right


does it really matter?  Harper picked people who kept their mouths shut and read from scripts well


I think the point here is , if you are going to talk about finance, you might let the person who ran a financial company and is your finance minister talk about it , rather then fielding most of questions without any real knowledge.


You're probably right. But my point isn't that their education defined their personal choices, it's to push back against people who want their personal choices to define education.


Quickly finding the other to blame is not the answer. We have lived for centuries in a culture that separates and divides people, and teaches each isolated group that they are superior so must be willing to give up their lives for "a greater cause".  All ideologies that require human sacrifice are based on contempt for all life, a worship of power over nature.


The Mueller thing all seems like an effort to explain how Hillary lost an election.  She lost. It's over.  Most of us are a lot more interested in finding out how 20% of the US uranium supply got into Putin's hands.  In one case, we have speculation and no crime.  In the other case, we have a clear crime and nothing but dumb looks on the faces of all Dems.  What is this?


I may be 5' 9'' and weigh 180 lbs but I can't possibly do worse than Donald "This-Way-To-The-Quarterback-Sir" Stephenson. So give me a call John Elway. The sooner I get on the field, the sooner I can help the team get to the Super Bowl. Thanks.


Liberal media and open mindedness go hand in hand, so if you want newspapers to speak their mind and report on actual facts that are vetted and researched, then you want them to be as liberal as possible instead of censoring them when they report on stuff that you don't like to hear like government ineptness.  In countries such as Russia and China, liberal media are an endangered species where  reporters are often jailed or targeted for assassination.


Not so. 'Cast in stone' as an idiom has been used since the 16th century.


This land is Canada.  This isn't some long gone native tribe land.  This is the city of Mississauga in the Province of Ontario in the country of Canada.


Indeed not, and worthy has nothing at all to do with it. None of us are worthy.

What is arrogant is three decades of claiming superior chops at sorting out the Deposit of Faith than the teaching authority in the Church.


I think what's being overlooked is that the Baptist schools aren't actually being accused of violating anyone's Charter Rights. The Charter protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation, it doesn't command celebration of it.

What should disturb people, is the government is stepping on the freedoms of Association, and Religion. Freedom of association cuts both ways: you can choose to associate with something, or choose not to. Other people can choose to associate with you, or not. Someone may want to associate with the Baptists, and the Baptists may choose otherwise. Within very broad strokes, the government isn't supposed to have any say in religion. You can't kill someone, then try to hide behind religious freedoms, for example. If they can make the Baptists violate their religious beliefs, they can make the Muslims, and the Jews, and the Scientologists. Take note, Atheists, they could make you pray.


Now U R a theologian ? Pleeeze !


Well the current situation is they are selling out to the highest bidder and that ends up with totalitarians or morons in charge.


Flagged for un civil comment


He's one black conservative liberals love to hate.


The writer of the article can donate all they want.
Nice of them to critique how a nation spends it's money.
The US is the most indebted nation on earth, the free for all of handouts has to stop at some point.
There is never, ever going to be a shortage on the planet of "causes with their hands out".
Givers must chose cautiously.


I'm not exactly sure what answer is.  What I do know is that northern VA has a BIG problem with MS-13, as does Maryland.  Any allowances for 'sanctuary cities' is not going to help the situation.   It's a pretty good bet that any crime resulting in multiple arrests of people whose last name ends with a 'z' is gang related.  Check the news & police reports - that's reality; not racism.

If Northam thinks this isn't an issue, he's got another thing coming.  It's not a good feeling to wonder if the guy on the 10 Most Wanted List was picked up 2 miles or 10 miles from your house (FBI won't release the location).


He learned very fast from the clintons save canada Jail this POS fast


So someone that doesn't have experience to do a job, shouldn't be doing the job...sounds eerily familiar...


You have no clue as to my net worth.  If you did, you might be a lot less pompous and self-congratulatory.

But, since you weren't born until 1990 according to an earlier post, I can accept your hubris as being pretty typical of a 27 year old who thinks they've hit the big time.  It's refreshing to hear you have all the answers.  Not only all the answers, but also the conviction to believe that everyone else is wrong and only you are right.

Write back in 30 years to let us know if you're still a big-shot.


His sycophant lieutenants believe the country should respond by lining up behind the Narcissist in New Jersey, comparing his North Korea bluster to the Cuban missile crisis.

 In fact, it is the inverse: President Kennedy in that crisis answered Soviet brinksmanship, he didn’t provoke it.


Bombardier is as crooked as a dog's hind leg, maybe more so, and when you get the spectacle of May, Trudeau and Canada's ambassador to the US huffing and puffing you just know that Bombardier is being as crooked as usual, a bit like most Quebec corporations and the Quebec government. Go Boeing.


Wie doesn't have to win every time. The contests love to invite her because she is so pretty, smiles a lot, and talks like a good sportsperson. She makes a lot of money from sports corporations and advertisements. She never gets into trouble or says anything awful. Doesn't drink or smoke. Just a good girl. Compare that to that female tennis champion and her deadly accident or Tiger Woods.


So this means that all of the local school bonds will be null and void since "the state" will be funding schools...


Everything but the most important thing for a moat, water! Most of the wall would be in a desert. The Rio Grand and Colorado rivers are over exploited already. It wouldn't work anyway, moats are easily breached by existing technology known as boats!


.. and Mueller has plenty of "suspects" to investigate.  "The Donald" will find that everyone he has "backed", and then threw away like a soiled napkin will "roll-over" rather than go to federal prison for him.  Further, his dealings with "The Bank of Cypress" (the one controlled by the russian mob) will get him convicted for "money-laundering" ... and that is just the beginning.  Stay tuned for further developments!


Timeline Correction--------Mexican Prez officially advised and cancelled visit ~8 hours BEFORE 'childish tit for tat' dTrump0 tweeted that it might be better to cancel the meeting.

G&M better get their 'alternative facts' straight in future!


What a refreshing change. Instead of talking indirectly he will talk right at a country. He seems to keep things simple instead of complicating issues so much any plan leads to almost nothing. The stock market has sure embraced Trump.


These activists are the new Creationists.  Short on science, long on BS.


No, it isn't. Volunteering, helping friends and neighbors and cleaning your house are examples of services provided without the profit motive.  One of the reasons the Canadian system is cheaper is because it runs at cost without having to make money to give to shareholders.

I might add that I have no problem with profit in many sectors and was actually in business myself for a long time. The evidence is that the American system costs more however, and profit is a significant cause. Someone unlucky enough to need medical attention should not end up broke so someone else can profit.


The indictment, announced on May 28, said history's longest serving Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, third in line for the U.S. Presidency, predecessor of Nancy Pelosi, a serial child molester, yes - a pedophile, made $1.7 million in payments out of the proposed total of $3.5 million.


I don't have such aspirations, but thanks all the same.  I had checked that one, though, and found one ambiguous reference to what he said on the NYT, and many, many on right-wing blogs.  A fair person would have wondered what he actually did say, and checked it out.  Here's what he said:

"Je pense que nous devons toutes et tous avoir un esprit de responsabilité dans cette période extrême, c'est-à-dire ne céder en rien à la panique, ne céder en rien à l'instrumentalisation qui pourrait être tentée, qui serait d'utiliser la peur."

"Parce que ce que cherchent justement ces terroristes, c'est la peur, c'est de fracturer le pays, c'est de le diviser. Ils ne peuvent pas nous vaincre, ils peuvent nous affaiblir."

"Le risque zéro n'existe pas. Quiconque prétendrait qu'avec lui ou elle il n'y aurait pas de tel risque est à la fois irresponsable et mensonger."

A little different, wouldn't you say?


Democrats are always trying to throw God out of anything Government, now they want divine intervention from praying. What a bunch of Hypocrites. Now that the democrat party has been decimated due to the anti-american policies of Obama and Hillary they cannot stand the consequences.


North Korea is not in the same league as the US, no country is when it comes to conventional military superpower. We aren't talking about foreign insurgencies and enemies that are indistinguishable from civilians - the US has no equal when it comes to the conventional power - especially in the air and in the seas, where it counts if all hell breaks loose. The F-22 Raptor is unparalleled, not to mention the bomber groups. It's not a secret, the US doesn't hide their capabilities, the North Koreans can hear the sonic booms of fighters on the border and they can see the naval battle groups operate seamlessly with each other and with their allies (specifically Japan and South Korea). Kim Jong Un is using the same playbook as his father in terms of trying to get concessions under the threat of military confrontation.


Yeah, but those wealthy immigrants are wealthy and pay the lion's share of our taxes.  Something like 40-0dd percent of all taxes were paid by the top couple percent.

We people making less than 100k/year are paying not as much of the tax.  Why would the government look to the poor people for taxes when they can let in foreigners with their billions of dollars, they buy inflated properties and pay tax on them, bring high end luxury brands and businesses to the area and generally turn it into a gentrified #nopoors place.


It's nice to see some grocery stores are putting in seating areas so customers can sit down and enjoy food like chicken wings or soup and sandwiches from their Deli. Some I understand have WiFi as well.


Donald Trump is spending this morning of his vacation lamenting the removal of various monuments to treason in defense of slavery:
One thing I’ve been surprised by during this slow motion car crash into a raging dumpster fire is the sheer depth of Trump’s stupidity and ignorance.
You could tell during Tuesday’s press conference that he thought he had come up with a new and especially powerful argument when he lectured the reporters about the previously unappreciated fact — no doubt just relayed to him by an advisor in the previous day or two — that Washington and Jefferson owned slaves (wait until he finds out that Jefferson liked to rape some of his).
On top of everything else, he’s just really really dumb — and of course he remains blissfully unaware of this.


O' Callahan's on Coburg Road was never the same after that and Pontiac took a hit  with an over stock of Trans-am's.


Many thanks for expressing your opinion. It has been helpful in my decision to vote.


"Peaceful Dissent" Don't you guys go around burning down libraries and then complain about the lack of books after?


Mr Cole thankyou it has been a pleasure reading your columns.


Charles your are a total dumb shit.  You watch way too much mainstream media. You have zero journalism skills.  I am sick of the Federal government  left and right The Bush Dynasty Both Clintons the Soros paid gangsters and the 8 years of Obama and his thieving administration. Trump knows and sees what is going on with the elite left and right that are destroying  America and our rights. You and most of your alaska dispatch cronies have your head so far up your buried in the sand you cant see the truth and destruction of America.


Since this office is under the mayor, it's a good sign that it will be effective in long-range strategic planning throughout the whole city government.


btg:
Good points all.  It is noteworthy that the experts who lecture us on the gain from mass refugees' immigration never discuss the solid option of a low population density economy.  They hold fast to the creed of population growth =economic growth, omitting the key mediating factor of population productivity.  In today's Canadian economy, that productivity depends crucially on high literacy in English or French.  The current pace of Syrian refugees into Canada means that many of these people may not receive the education necessary to make them fluent in English or French: the country does not have sufficient dedicated teachers and schools to meet the need.  The current mass immigration of refugees from Syria and Africa is sowing an underclass phenomenon that will haunt Canada for a very long time if not forever.


Weights always could do this, I guess it's positive the realization is becoming more public.


They do not own Bombardier, they own one product. Also DeHavilland never left they simply were sold.


It's so difficult to think without WW to guide us...


It's not a sport unless someone is playing defense against you. It is a game that is played competitively.


Although the comment was distasteful, the Gloom, Boom and Doom is some pretty good reading. He's clearly highly intelligent.


The doctors and researchers that Bollinger cites have been pretty carefully chosen:
https://vaccinesworkblog.wordpress.com/2017/04/19/truth-about-vaccines-who-are-the-experts/
Bollinger has jumped on the vaccine wagon as he jumped on the cancer one. He is making a living from people's anxieties.
Obviously you are one of the disciples; there is no point in trying to point out the problems with Wakefield and many of the other 'experts". These are people making a living from people who  are genuinely concerned about their children, and who are not able to distinguish between junk science and carefully researched studies.
I know parents of autistic children- they will try anything to help their kids, but they are not gullible enough to accept that vaccinations were involved in their children's development.


Meanwhile we've been doing this for 25 years in Puna... Just that now the County adds $10,000 for septic, min $5,000 for plumbers and electricians, and has made single wall, post and pier, and  decks without walls beneath them illegal.   All this has been done using locally available materials, paying a fair wage, building off grid, solar and cachement included.  It's just illegal because it's not a mini McMansion on a slab, paying into the plumber and electrician's lobby, made using $thousands of dollars of ugly simpson hardware, and incorporates actual craftsmanship like post and beam joinery, and hidden fasteners.  You can build that way, if you hire an architect, and try to find engineer who will do the studies the County wants.   So basically you can spend another $10k to pay architects and engineers to tell the County that your home is safe.  I commend this effort, but wonder why it has to be pre-fab from china AND bypass local fair wages.


OK ... but if a 5-year-old insists that they are really a little boy when they were born a little girl (or vice versa), we take their words at face value and not as a fantasy, like wishing to be a horse?  :-/  Why the difference?  Or more to the point, how are we sure there *is* a difference??  o_x

To be sure, when writing the original comment I had in mind that recent case in Colorado, where a sex-change operation was performed on an individual; they discovered that they *still* weren't happy.  Then they wanted another series of surgeries to "change them back" to what they were in the first place.  :-/  Sounded to me like someone lost in some sort of fantasyland, but I concede one shouldn't generalize from a single instance.

Thanks for your words.


How does US policy tarnish a successful visit by Theresa May with a policy that has little to do with Britain?  What a bunch of cry babies everyone is.  Not clear what protest in England will have against Trump.
He is doing what he said and he got elected, not clear what all the shock and outrage is?  The majority of what he does is over blown by the media.


Kingwell picked out one thing, the concept of fairness, to demonstrate Trump's unsuitability as president. Trump has cried "unfair" so often that denying Kingwell's argument is beyond reason. Trump went so far as to cry "rigged" about both the Republican primary and the general election when he was doing badly in polls.

But fairness is only one of many areas where Trump is an outrage. Many of his cabinet picks are openly hostile to the departments they lead. That's just absurd. Scott Pruitt has sued the EPA on behalf of oil companies. How are 15,000 EPA employees going to feel about him leading them?

Trump ended his fourth troubled week as president with a rally in Florida. It turns out that presidenting is hard, so he needed an adoration fix. That night he said "You look at what's happening last night in Sweden, Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden." He said this with such an attitude of disgust and derision, but no one knew what on earth he was talking about. The man is deluded.


Eeeww.  Stop draining the swamp!  Fill it back up!  The slimy black guck at the bottom smells very, vey bad.


Maybe when you're slagging off your co-workers, an entire sex, it's hard to support that "free and open" discussion.


Carter Mesker and Raymond Justice, the two who organized the "trip" and shared pics of them harming the birds, get off free...off they go

hope you sue these bastards for slander


It's a real pity that it isn't political suicide to let people rot, as was commented upon in this article. On the contrary, it's quite regular politics to let some people rot, and sometimes to even let most people rot.


A politician who keeps his promises and works, definitely "not" status quo!


There has been a smell on this for a long long time. Action is long overdue.


I understand transfer of energy. A sudden transfer of warmer water, via a hurricane, to a temperature sensitive reef can impact that reef in a short period of time.


The repeal of S21 wouldn't have stopped the Northslop from laying off 30% of their work force.  You can argue the merits of ACES and the Merits of SB21 ad naseum , but the differences are on the margin.  The real issue is the drastic decline in oil prices, pure and simple.

Your debating on whether chocolate frosting is better or Vanilla is better when oil prices took away the whole cake.

And at 15K per resident, we're spending too much,.

You know, I think that these frequent mass shootings have reached a point where they actually help the NRA and Republicans.  They are so frequent now that people have become desensitized.  These days, being attacked by a guy with a high-powered assault rifle is just a part of being an American.  Like living in Iraq and possibly getting car bombed... it's just how it is.


What does the Bible have to do with me paying for someone else's health insurance?
Yes, I have insurance, but the monthly cost, deductible, and copays are so ridiculous that I cannot afford to go to the Dr. for a simple office visit....SMH on this one.......


It's the EU squeezing cash out of the UK and will stoop to any level to keep them in and paying the bills!


Doesn't the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce have their own marketing people? Do they really need Mary Ann McGivern to shill for them in NCR?

As the resident of a city (Kansas City) that has time and again been treated like a red-headed step-child while the Missouri legislature throws one bone after another to St. Louis, I have a hard time mustering much sympathy for their situation. Yes, they have urban challenges and the need for a more robust business community. Name one major metropolitan area that doesn't.

This piece is worse than filler. It's free advertising.


Thanks David, this is one of the more honest article's the SA has ran since the BOONDOGGLE HATED RAIL was shoved down our throats. We have been lied to by our City/State Leaders, Mayors, City Council Members, Legislators and the only newspaper available on the island. Talk about having the newspaper in bed with HART while they confuse the voters about the truth. Any luck at all the Federal government will cut off the funding and send in a real prosecutor to investigate the graff that has occurred within our government. The managers at HART have and are fleeing the sinking ship like rats from a sinking vessel. Now its time to stop this monster in its tracks before more businesses are destroyed and hard earned tax monies wasted. The RUSTING RAIL HAS BEEN A LIE FROM DAY ONE ORCHASTRATED BY NONE OTHER THAN KIRK CALDWELL, MUFI HANNEMAN, PETER CARLYE, NESTER GARCIA, WAYNE YOSHIOKA,  JOHN WHITE, IKEIKA ANDERSON & ALL THE MEMBERS ON THE TEAM OF LOSERS AT HART. We the public have lost all HOPE


WOW!!!! 6 people!


Conway has been a Republican campaign boot licker since the 1980s.  She blows any way the wind tells her to blow.


Unfortunately the constitution doesn't have an amendment to ensure safe parks.  But it does have one that ensures due process.  That being said something needs to be done to take back control of the City Parks.  I understand they are public places that everyone has a right to, but they are being overrun my addicts, homeless and drug dealers.  A good solution would be a city court that handles these cases quickly.


muckamuck and company feel the need for psychiatry and thumb sucking to empower themselves, never met a cost others can't afford.


Charlie, can you tell us what web browser and operating system you're using?


That was one heckuva insightful response to Lee.  Your debating skills are second to none.  I wish mine were of your caliber.  But since they're not my only response to you is: <mute>


I would think that the conservatives that are qualified to teach in universities would probably rather make more money by applying their skills in the business world.
To be a professor requires wanting to be one (usually).
I do not believe that any left bias is intentional (at least not in a conspirators way). You simply have schools that want to maximize their profits, so they offer more degree programs. They tend to be in areas that didn't used to have degree programs (i.e. Asian Studies), which themselves tend to attract both liberal profs and students. It's not a big, scary plot to brainwash youth, just a result of simple economics. Student loans are guaranteed to anyone that is admitted to a university--why turn them down? Create a degree program that appeals to previously untapped markets!


Michael - By sinking to ridiculous personal attacks I can only conclude you lack a logical argument?


As they should be since we now have the greatest young talent in the world.


Well said. Publicly funded institutions must provide all services the public funders (taxpayers)  expect. In education too but that is a whole other issue.


I don't understand why K2 is not more popular. We've known for years (over a decade?) about its potential benefits, yet there is still not enough clinical evidence to warrant its use. Wouldn't it be easy to give women vitamin K2 in addition to calcium and vitamin D, and see what happens? It seems like it'd be easy to recruit patients for such a simple trial. Lots of people are already supplementing, however, badly worded and outdated Health Canada laws make it difficult to obtain K2 in Canada (due to a legitimate limit on K1 dosage affecting all forms of K).


He should sue


Obviously you don't live in the US, do you.


No he wasn't, I was there, I shouted at him as an independent voter from Montezuma County Co. he just didn't want to answer simple questions.


Great article - education is key. Canadian rugby star Jamie Cudmore is taking a leadership role in European rugby. Concussions will always happen but it's important to recognize the symptoms and make sure concussion protocols become part of the team's culture.


Shameful comment from a wage slave to big oil, climate denier. Hope your kids & grandchildren learn that you and yours promoted chocking our planet and looting an area the size of Florida to get at AB & SASK +300% CO2 content tar sands sludge.


This essay is wonderful, but the label  "Catholic left" seems to fit in with the left-right split that is polarizing America today.  Liberal, conservative, moderate mainstream ways of thinking are being forgotten in favor of European style far right and left wing ideologies. Can we at least have a "near right" and "near left" sensibility that brings people together rather than driving us farther apart?


Why has the price of Oil been removed from the market updates.


"Lincoln fired McClellan because he wasn't ruthless enough."

Not exactly. Before Lincoln was elected president, he was a lawyer/lobbyist for the Illinois Central Railroad, where McClellan was vice president and chief engineer. McClellan resented having to take orders from someone who had been his subordinate. In November 1861, Lincoln came to the house where McClellan had his headquarters on the ground floor and his living quarters upstairs. McClellan kept the president waiting for half an hour, then sent someone down to tell Lincoln he had gone to bed.

McClellan kept dithering during the Peninsular Campaign of 1862. Lee pulled a massive bluff on McClellan, getting him to believe that the Confederates greatly outnumbered him. McClellan abandoned the campaign, which he could have won. Had he taken Richmond, the war would likely have been shortened, since he would have the Tredegar Iron Works, the only steel mill/cannon foundry/locomotive factory in the South.


Ruling, Neko? I didn't know we had rulers in our country. Of course, after the election of Trump, all bets are off. 😊


The mods drink heavily so ya neva know, hit or miss with the liberal post 😃


I love the 'heartwarming outpouring of sympathy' for, and the 'deep commiseration' with the suffering and slaughtered Coptic and other Christians, as expressed by the many comments to this article by the numerous NCR readers so articulate on issues of justice, and standing with the oppressed.


The industrial revolution was brought upon by a shift in technology advances. Demand for products drove that, not who owns a business private or public. I don't think you know the actual definition of capitalism.


No one delivers a speech with as much dignity and passion as Obama. He is certainly the most articulate American president in my lifetime since Kennedy.

Ah, yes, our pension money being handled by an ever growing bureaucracy which is resembling, more and more, a high priced Bay St. firm.


This mental-illness liberal Congresswoman voted "nay" on every bill that concern military veterans.   Its no surprise, Democrats were always "anti-military" andti-veteran benefits and care since liberalism invaded the Democratic party years ago.
    I am a proud to be an American to have Donald Trump as my U.S. President.  He is for and only Americans. Yet half of America (Democrats, liberals, atheist, prochoice, political correctness, secular folks) hate President Trump because of his pro military, pro Godly family values that he is bringing back to this country.
      Its early yet, but all signs point to the reelection of Donald Trump.  The sour-grapes mental-illness Democrats  are still fighting President Trump last election.


The real threat to baseball comes from corporate America, which will happily throttle the life out of a game they don't understand in their effort bind it to time constraints in order to monetize it.


Exactly; Explaining Judge Johnstone, who explained quite clearly ("I never could make it commercial fishing in Bristol Bay" Permit #58180 Permanently Transferred 3 times.) Couldn't read the Limited Entry Act either. Couldn't make it judging either.

"In the sailboat days, the professional, year round fisherman was an expert and far superior to the modern "part timer." The present day school-teaching, moonlighting, gadget-depending, garage mechanic  type of fisherman did not appear until the sailboats were eliminated."

Boots, inequality is a fact of life.   We are now seeing the first generation of kids who didn't keep score in soccer because the parents didn't want feelings to be hurt by "losing".  Now these kids are grown up and having difficulty coping with life.  They cannot handle not getting a job they interview for and have hoards of other problems because the world unfortunately "keeps score".

In my days, the kids would say "I'm the winner, see my prize, you're the loser who sits and cries".   Sounds cruel but we learned to cope with losing and tried harder to win the next time.


Alaska’s seafood industry employs more people than any other private industry in the state.  Alaska’s fishing industry supported 60,749 jobs. Oil and gas employ more people than the seafood industry because of the massive secondary impacts, but seafood employs more people directly than any other private industry in the state.


Everyone from all sides is wondering what's wrong with the republican Congress.  But many also realize that a bill should not be introduced until and unless it is an improvement on existing law.


I'm glad to see they've included teachers on this committee, as well as a student and parent. Too many "educational" decisions are made by bureaucrats who have no idea of the day-to-day reality of today's schools.

"  psychology of the club "..uh, right. Like that makes a difference. Btw (why is this board cluttered with baseball know nothings? You know who you are -" I hate Toronto, I hate Rogers, I hate baseball therefore I hate the Blue Jays and will post about it every chance I get, in the absence of a meaningful existence.) the Jays didn't "let him go", he chose Cleveland even though Toronto offered him 20 million more.


God's infinite love and mercy and grace are a free gift. Jesus invited sinners as they were. The Pharisees. who separated themselves, were rejected. I'd rather join Jesus and the sinners than your excluded club. Jesus called us to the Kingdom of God where mercy and forgiveness are are unconditional. Restorative justice is about love not gaining grace which is a free Divine gift.


Lorrie Goldstien said it best:
This  explains Trudeau’s July 1 Canada Day message on our 150th anniversary, that he’s “jealous” of immigrants who choose to come to Canada because they care more about it than natural-born Canadians who are, “Canadian by default.”
Again, of course – because in Trudeau’s “postnational” Canada, it’s BETTER to come from somewhere else.
Similarly, a PM who believes in a “postnational” Canada with “no core identity, no mainstream” isn’t going to be overly concerned about would-be refugees flooding across our border from the U.S. at such an alarming rate, that we have to house them in Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

The Liberals lost the immigrant vote to Harper and are desperate to ensure it doesn't happen again, hence the endless pandering.

President Snowflake's most ardent support clusters among (badly aging) Baby Boomers like himself, and the Me Generation has always possessed a certain remarkable talent, statistically, for embracing rhetoric over reality and living up to the truism that there are none so blind as those who will not see.

No, there were many absences. Doyour work


Following your logic, you'd have supported the burning of the books in Germany too.


All  logistical problems which can be solved the same way many of them were tackled by our Protestant and Jewish cousins.  What is most critical is that the people be fed, both by Word and by Eucharist, it matters not whether those doing the feeding are male or female, married or celibate.


I'm not sure about "bad-ass" sounds like a similar descriptive to how policing was in the apartheid regime..."they must drink piss"? exposing of people's body parts? squeezing their balls? ...can we get respect for law and order without savagery or being derogatory?


Everytime I read stories like this it brings back horrible memories for my family.   Like the Stark family, our lives were shattered 8 years ago when a man hit and ran over my dad in broad daylight.  My dad and mom were walking in a very quiet suburban street at 10 am on a clear day in Jan.  when this man claimed to be blinded by the sun hit my dad.    My dad was in a coma and passed away one week later.   This man was charged but was found not guilty because there was no intent to harm according to the judge.    We also could not bring into evidence telephone records (we believe that he was texting at that time) and the court could not accurately determine the car speed. The judge let him off without a fine or warning!!     In an era where texting and driving are prevalent, we need to change our legal system to reflect today's culture.    How can we let these people off with small or no fines after they have ruined the lives of so many!   My children will never know their grandfather!

According to Christian Manion you are mistaken and the situation with ND is exactly the reverse . A good University is in the business of teaching not imposing its religious dogmas on its students.

How would you feel if you were a high profile public servant, terminated without cause, and have the Premier state publicly that you hadn't done any work while in the job (a statement proven to be false)?

That's defamation by definition...a false statement about someone that damages their reputation.  Horgan's subsequent retraction and apology will mitigate the damages, but it can't/won't "un-ring the bell".

It is not "the end of the world", as you put it, but it is a compensable tort.  The judge's role will be to assess the egregiousness of the statement and determine the damage created by the tort.   It's the judge's opinion hat counts, not your opinion or mine.

But I doubt it will get to trial.  Horgan doesn't want the bad publicity of his mistake being aired out again, nor the financial cost of his mistake known.   That's a lot of political motivation to settle out of court.


Just more of the evil back-room attempts by an evil administration to protect their main constituency, the world oil monopoly and its billionaire barons linked with the Russian Dictator.  Time for a Revolution.


I am approaching 70 years of age and the Church I grew up in no longer exists.  Way back in my youth the majority of Catholics in my community were liberal Democrats and their   Church actively supported the cause of social justice.  Today,  when I turn on right wing national Catholic radio the  broadcaster boasts that the majority of white Catholics voted for Trump,  the man  who openly   mocked a disabled person in front of a laughing crowd of his cult followers.  This was an extremely cruel and heartless thing to do but apparently  it did  not offend   Catholics.


So define "Islamophobia" then. I believe I speak for a probable majority when I say - I would like a concrete definition of this word. Alceste why don't you be the first to take a crack at it. Let's condemn "Smurphobia" Yes, let's do let's do. But first I would like a definition of that, or else it is utterly meaningless. I love how this G&M piece was done up at 9pm and and then scuttled off to the website sidebar... Let's get it up front and center again for 300 more comments! HAHA!

Oh by the way, it's not utterly meaningless if you are looking to give your government and think tank buddies some good chunk of tax dollars to carry out all the tough tough research. Don't break a nail on it...

While you might be pleasantly surprised, your delegate won't give a Libertarian their vote.  Delegates are bought and paid for by both mainstream parties.  The Electoral College is a sham !!!


Maybe the 13th pick, with, say, Barton and Chandler, and a conditional pick next year.... non top 5? I know Hermangomez has a brother on the Knicks. But Chandler is a free agent a year from now and he won't stay as a third stringer if Gallo's here too.

Another idea might be Sacramento at 5. Faried, Chandler and the 13th pick? Probably another pick too.

I don't see the Nuggets signing a Hayward from Utah as a SF replacement for Gallo, and PF is their weakness. A defender and maybe shot blocker that can still get 15+ points a game.

I know Porzingis is a wish, but man, him with Jokic, and Murray, maybe..... just maybe, a Mudiay that reaches his potential, it'd give them a chance. My thought on it, compare to GS, and Jokic over Pachazulia, Millsap would hold his own with Green, Porzingis with his length against KD and his are kind of washes at forward, and Murray just might put some numbers up. Add the depth, and the Nugs are much closer to GS than now.


Don't let trolls get your goat.  Just toss them a stone to the chops as you go over their bridge.


Hello Philco3, the post writer's comment right here is bang on the money:

"This nonsense about America relinquishing leadership and abandoning its allies is political spin that reads like something from an Internet poster malcontent."

I am a Canadian and I wrote much the same thing in my separate post on this board. It is stunning to me that so few are noticing the glaringly false premise upon which it is based, the Ottawa Minister's proclamation.


Dermot, I don't think Trump has his eyes on Iraq's oil. No...it's Iran's oil that's gleaming in his eye.  But not until after a long, bloody, endless, and incredibly expensive war.


Wow. Really inspiring infographic.


No I haven't. I've heard the left accuse him for months of racism but have no examples yet. Still waiting...


Yea, Russian, Chinese and NK hackers were so stymied by the impenetrable RNC network protection.
In reality, these guys can likely infiltrate every level of our digital infrastructure at will -
So really, those supporting Trump, are you not outraged or at least moderately  concerned that any part of the "OUR" election was  influenced by the Russians(foreigners) and at least not curious why? Then the enemy's job is even easier!.  And what makes you believe they don't have a pile of dirt on the Donald? It's basic KGB spy 101, to have your adversary in a compromising position!  If you are dumb enough to think the RNC's geek squad stopped them, you were dumb enough to have voted for Trump.
and btw, Wikileaks isn't exactly the 21 century version of Radio Free America!


"Dedicated public servant"? Humor. "Qualified"? More humor. The only thing Hillary Clinton has ever run is the State Department, and even her handlers were concerned with how badly she was capable of acting.  And dedicated public servants do not increase their personal wealth by tens of millions of dollars. It's time for you and other Hillary supporters to grow up and acknowledge the fact that you are partly responsible for the Trump Presidency. Democratic leaders "pre-chose" Hillary and shoved her down Americans' throats and they spit her back up. These two horrible candidates were like watching two bad teams playing football--there's no telling what might happen. So thanks for giving us Trump. I hope you learned a lesson, so you won't repeat this cycle's mistakes. Remember.....your candidate lost to Donald Trump! Donald Trump!  Quite obviously your candidate was flawed.


Dave my friend, every issue has a point or there would be no need for debate or even the existence of a committee.  What is pointless are the conclusions.  But, you do make a good point.  You really got me thinking about that.


You might look into the effects of those toxins in the air. Something else the state is lying about, rigging the pot.

What evidence?  The whole of human history, if we’re being honest, and not simply virtue signalling.  The overwhelming majority of the great figures of the past, and even the present, are men.  What evidence do you offer to the contrary?


take a deep breath..


Before folks hop on the bandwagon of criticism of the cast of Hamilton, they should actually watch the video showing what the actor actually said and how he actually comported himself. Both his words and his tone were quite respectful. He used a sincere tone to thank Pence for attending and merely asked that Pence and the new administration endeavor to represent all of America. Yes the cast "singled out" Pence, who had already been recognized by the whole audience upon his entrance, but persons who volunteer to serve as president or vice-president have already singled themselves out.


I disagree.  I think multiculturalism is just the interim, temporary stage between the old dominant group and the new one.  History has almost no examples of different tribes living in harmony without a dominant group or groups except for in interim periods, as far as I can tell.

So, Trumplethinskin has run how many companies into bankruptcy? This action allows him to walk away from his obligations and still keep his money. To quote the great man himself, "this makes Donald Trump smart".  Political leaders are not dumb. They see how the game is played.

Chief:  Right, civil discourse is much more effective than ad homenium attacks.  Unfortunately the latter seem to dominate the comments section.  Your last sentence is dead on but does the legislature have the courage to take action?  I doubt it.  The "big" expense money is in three areas:  Medicaid expansion, education, and health and social services.  The "big" revenues sources are oil government, and tourism.


The USA is negotiating according to its own interests...Canada is negotiating according to globalist interests ( and those of Justin's friends such as Bombardier) , alienating the US President and walking away from the table gains Canada nothing.


So a publicly stated commitment by Mayor Ferrell and all councilmembers that there would be no tax implications of the PAEC has evolved to messaging that taxes being used for it is essential to our "public health." I enjoy good entertainment as much as the next person, but I do not believe going to a performance at the PAEC will keep our community healthy. Nor is paying $23+/show a viable option for many in Federal Way. City leaders (including me while a councilmember) committed to not allocating our tax dollars to offset PAEC construction or operations. There are numerous other things we could put our tax dollars toward that would go much further to ensure public health. This letter is intended to do one thing, to shape public perception that the PAEC is so good for us that we should be okay with our tax dollars being spent to bail out the city after Mayor Ferrell, Deputy Mayor Burbidge and certain councilmembers pushed it through without all the funds in place to pay for it.

The lesson to be learned from your comment is to strive for a position that pays more than minimum wage.

Well spotted BS, SB!  She and the other C from Ottawa are life long Liberal loving Larry's wingmen here, quickly jumping after his every column to post even more puerile purple prose than paid columnists like Martin can get away with (yet).

Mind you, Larry got close to the line this time and there is hardly a single sentence that is not either inaccurate, contradictory or downright hilarious.

One favourite was his line that Andrew Scheer lacked the gravitas to be leader.  Do you remember the gravitas The Clown Prince had in 2013 when he became leader?  Seen any Trudeau gravitas lately or ever?  Me neither.

I also chuckled at his comments about the successes of traditional conservatives like Reagan and Thatcher because I remember well how the liberal media at the time including young Mr. Martin demonized these two leaders as Genghis Khans on steroids.

Hawaii has enacted the National Popular Vote bill to ultimately guarantee the majority of Electoral College votes and the presidency in 2020 to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in the country, by changing state winner-take-all laws  (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states),


"One in five Canadians suffers miserable chronic pain;" And the writer accuses the front-line workers of inflating the numbers..?

This woman's logic doesn't add up.  She disputes that fentanyl street deaths are an epdemic, implying that they're not a matter of grave concern, because the number of deaths is small relative to the general population..? ('only' a thousand deaths in BC last year, by the way). Yet, she has a "rare-rish" inflammatory desease - something that also occurs in relatively low numbers.  Should we therefore apply the same disregard for her own condition?

She doesn't ackowledge that over-prescribed pain meds can lead to addiction and dependency, which can cause the user to seek out illicit sources, tumbling further and further into a hole from which there is no escape.  The chinese stuff is what they buy after the doctor no longer acquiesces.

Street junkies are using fentanyl to escape some sort of pain as well. She has more in common with them than she realizes.


Ms. Amylou.  It's baffling why ADN censors have allowed your very un-PC post to remain. For heaven's sakes, you're not supposed to care about your own country as it smacks of nationalism...like the nazis.  At least according to our "progressive" friends.

Hello Just as good as you,

What Andrew from Toronto said:

"The religious minorities is about refugees. The entry ban is for everyone except diplomats."

Thus, my criticism of the headline is, contrary to your lengthy prattle, perfectly reasonable.

And thank you for your acrobatic contortion in trying to extract yourself from making fun of my name, your sophistry about "nom-decran" - but your acrobatics contortions there would have been more amusing had you barked like a seal whilst executing the amusing display.


I'm sure that sort of a plan is already underway by now.


Boo-effn-hoo.  Libtard poor sensitive wittle feewings.  Can’t have Lemon blubbering all over the cable again now can we ?


Bit prudish Clem?


I remember Nixon standing on the hood of a car and, facing a lot of demonstrators, flashing them the V for victory sign. Their reactions and riots helped insure his election.
For the record, I was one of the protestors and protested pretty much everything that miserable man did. He and Kissinger told the South Vietnamese government not to agree to peace terms, until he got in to office. That war lasted years longer and thousands of more Americans died.
The only way Donald Trump gets to sit in the White House is for many riots to break out. That will bring out a lot of people who perhaps wouldn't have voted for him. Peaceful protest is one thing, overturning cars and hurting people quite another.

After our agent hooked us up with a builder he quietly became the contractor and the builders agent. Our commission rate was 8% and builder got 2.5. When we got the lawyer on him his only defense was that we had called him to work with so now we had buyers remorse because he shafted us. DM me on twitter for his name and the flybynight builders.

On this I am opposed but see Charles has made some interesting points, look the fact is, Whales ARE intelligent like Dolphins and if they were killing Dolphins then what? If you have seen the movie the "Cove," then it puts things in perspective. We can talk about culture and all of that, but can we be completely honest the Native Culture of the past is just that, the past. I cannot name all the ways it has been for lack of a better term diluted. So to say they are living in the cultural way, is kinda intellectually dishonest, modern boats, motors, heck houses, they have access to health care. If we say it all right for Naives to kill whales then it needs to be okay for everyone, Japan, Norway, Iceland. Just like Ivory, either we ban Ivory or we kill the elephants. This racist case exceptions is not good for anyone, allowing one set of people to step back and forth into the 21st century based on race to their advantage is just as bad as what Wohlforth describes.


As an Albertan, the only thing I am looking at with respect to the Tories and Liberals is how each leader/party will react when the new government in BC (I'm betting on NDP-Green) slams the door shut on our oil and gas industry and the  federally approved pipelines. If it's the usual detached response with platitudes ... then we have a serious problem with our federation.


So... just to be clear... you're bashing the Liberals for failing to implement overly simplistic and ultimately ineffective policies and you want to replace them with someone else whose ideas are equally simplistic and ineffective?

Here's a thought: vote for someone who offers practical solutions to practical problems.  It's so crazy it just might work.


I  myself would give her the benefit of any doubt but I would have preferred Trudeau to say he was aware of these incidents and that they were deemed to be non issues, rather than the nondescript response he has provided.


Ms. Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and honorary Canadian citizen ...

Yeah, that explains everything.


You're right.  It's Saudi Arabia.  But you understood my reference.  For my education, what stupidity are you not giving pass? And what is your guidance?


also all these congress people who are against it mostly democrats say its always for the rich which is lies because we pay the taxes these congress people think its there money when reality its our money and giving the lower class and middle class and small business a good tax cut means that congress will get less money for there wasted pork barrel spending that's why they use the media to spread there half truths and lies and say its a tax break for the rich. lets just see what the final proposals will be.


I would suggest that a more appropriate title for this article should be, "Oil Wealth Giveaway Hardliners Play Chicken with the Alaska's Permanent Fund"


As do your ad hominems.


$300-400k/mile... (not incl. everything.
Will see NO upgrades (and probably no upkeep neither).
And will probably see a handful of travelers.

It's this "nickel and dime" mentality Alaska politicians have. A notch on their belt of some mundane accomplishment. Stop seeing Alaska as some state in the industrial age for you to add your name to some book of accomplishments.
Someone should hand the state's accounting books to feds, that'll stir some feathers and empty offices. (If the state chose to even follow standard accounting practices; which they don't)


It's not the Mexican Gov't that is paying $2/hr.  The factories are owned by GM, Ford etc. If they wanted to pay their Mexican workers a decent wage, they could.


Over on this side of the ocean Toyota isn't the biggest seller, General Motors is. There is a reason for that in that tbey make what people want and they make a quality product.

You belittling GM actually acknowledges what I said because you ignore what the industry critics are saying. Its people like you who can't or don't want to adapt to what industry expertise is telling us. Some people can accept information and other can't because of built in biases.  If you enjoy living life with the shades drawn then I feel sorry for you


I'd be open to the idea of building a dorm.  Otherwise, no.

@John Deel you like this predictions, here ya go... giving you the date this time.


The eminence grise of the most dialogue happy publication in Catholicism/pseudo-Catholicism arguing against dialogue! Oh, how rich the irony!

He is right, of course. Neither Pope Francis nor the Church has much to gain. In the wildly libertine culture that permeates the US, and the West generally, it is nice to have a few other defenders of basic Christian morality, but this bunch has adulterated that morality with such a mix of anti-Catholic ideas on the death penalty and immigration that the result is a brew noxious to all but themselves.

Perhaps I am wrong thinking this is a pro-dialogue publication. As MSW reminded us they oppose dialogue with the "dubia cardinals" too. Perhaps it is only dialogue with the heterodox and liberals that they think is wise.


All Christians, regardless of denomination, believe Jesus is the One Way to God. It's why we're called "Christians".

St. Justin Martyr (d. 165) said that there were “seeds of truth” scattered about in the teaching of the great philosophers. St. Paul honored the Athenians for their pious worship of the “unknown” God (Acts 17). Catholics, unlike many/most protestants, believe there are “other sheep” who do not travel with the flock but who do belong to the Shepherd. They may be devotees of Mohammed or Buddha because their hearts have recognized some sparks of truth and goodness in the teaching of those men. If they die good Muslims or Buddhists and are saved, they are saved not by Mohammed or Buddha, but by Christ.

(Your sarcasm and misrepresentation of Christian and Catholic teaching is tiresome)


Again - WHERE ARE YOUR EXAMPLES???

Totally meaningless comment otherwise.


So far so good.


I only know retired and former members of McGlaughlin (?) Youth Detention Center, but I do know the culture there was very different, and far more rehabilitation-oriented, than was the culture of the Corrections Department.
The people I knew were sticklers for holding inmates accountable for their behavior, but also sought to steer their charges - as best they could - toward leading responsible, lawful lives after their release. If this is the culture Director Williams brings with him to the Department of Corrections, then let's hope he can move DOC in that direction.. Good luck to him!


Did you mean communist (comunist), socialist ($ocialst) and Democrat (Democat)?? This is a perfect example that Alaska needs to spend more money on education not less.............


Yeah, I already got that. When "civil commenting" starting listing all of its posts as "Roy Anthony AKA Trumphile Dysfunction" until the system finally approved his nym-change and dropped the "Roy Anthony AKA" prefix. Deceptive and manipulative VEGAN cat-licking TROLLS use every trick in the book to avoid being exposed for what they truly are. (Screen-grabs available for 100% proof. :-) )


It is my understanding that this kind of cutsy poo financing is exactly the way that Greece began its slide into oblivion. Of course we control our own currency, but a 50 cent dollar may not be to everybodies taste.


Surely, this Federal judge can be fired, right?
I mean for the protection of America of course.


Work Farce:

Your point regarding the need to be aware of the costs and consequences of the First World War is valid. However, you generalize to the point of absurdity when you make a statement such as "that Germany was immediately determined to wage a war of revenge (WWII)."

What is ignored is twenty years of German domestic politics and developments in international affairs, all of which could have produced a much different outcome. Decisions made in Berlin, London, Paris, Moscow, Washington, Rome, and all the other major seats of power - including Geneva, home of the League of Nations , and New York, centre of world finances - all had a bearing on how the world shaped itself after the treaties were concluded in 1919.

At first glance, history appears to be written by the victors. Look deeper and you will find that there is a chorus of voices, both nuanced and bombastic, on such subjects. Expect more as we approach the centenary.

I'm a trained historian, but only one voice.


It's been my experience that those who apply terms such as racist, bigot, islamaphobe, etc. are merely labeling others with their own characteristics, especially when they have no facts, truth or common sense to back their position.  All it takes is opening your eyes, and doing the research...to refuse to do that, leaves you willfully ignorant.   I expected nothing more (or less) from you....Not sure what world you live in...but it's not the real one!


Ah yes, parroting my last sentence back to me.

I'd forgotten the level of your debating tactics. Well done, moon howler.


Also, people can take CBD WITHOUT the THC , or very low THC.  Many people, especially with chronic Lyme disease and other autoimmune diseases are having excellent success in symptom/pain control using CBD.
As doctors should know, CBD inhibits the FAAH enzyme, a compound that activates the CB1 receptor. CBD reduces the activation of CB1 by THC, thus reducing its psychoactive effects. The activation of adenosine receptors by CBD is what gives the anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory effects of CBD.


You guys really need to come up with something more original.


Why should they be?


Yeah, right. That is as silly a lie as any other lie.


A318 is discontinued, the new engines were not adapted for it.  The A319, the next one up, has been a very slow seller, just like the 737-MAX7.


Accepting such innuendo charitably does not mean accepting it without criticism.


Glad you found something civil to say!  Though your hating on Obama is tiresome.....


Oh well.


"so far, Mr. Gross says he has $200-million invested in Canadian commercial paper, yielding about 75 basis points"

Yes yes a history of  Protestants vs Catholics bla bla bla.
How the ragging left love their toe tags with anyone that doesn't fall in line. .
The nice thing about your dribble is how  quickly its being rejected on a global stage.
The NDP are done in Alberta just as Kathleen is done in Ontario.

I will muse as the alt left squirms with their removal from office. in  2019, yes their wouldn't be a   conservative Premiers west of Quebec.to salvage the train wreck.
The alt left is desperately attempting to censor vital details and free through with the  use of political correctness. A modern day version of the GULAG  that desperately attempts to represses our right to think on our own!!!
We see you Marxist and we reject you.


Judging from all the media, op-eds and comments I have read, terrorists and crooks might find that Trump would flip-flop on them and stiff them in grand public fashion while Clinton would take their money and coddle them behind closed doors.


yeah, it  is, except for no job market,  a totally inadequate jail system, and worst of all a totally underfunded and undermanned police department.


We are all equal when it comes to the PFD, either stay with the same system or give it to the legislature to piss away to all of us equally as special interests.


What an asinine statement, why would democrats target the groups that have been the most reliable voting block they have had for the last 40 years.  Next time try using facts and numbers instead of vague, hysterical claims so that you don't look foolish


Really happy that this company chose Federal Way for their latest store. Asset to the community


You applaud police violating their constitutional oath to all citizens as a petty retribution for being excluded from partitipating in  private function?

Wow, just...wow.   Talk about ludicrous.


Good for Trump, he is going to make a terrific President.  Lewis disrespected him first so good on Trump for firing back.  Time these leftie a-holes started getting used to push back.

Yawn.

Everything else is obfuscation......


She has her good days and bad days (but is always too prolix).

Look up a story called The Wind Bloweth Where it Listeth by Charles Portis.  It takes the monkey and journalism thing to whole new heights, a very funny read.


Let's be real here. This is happening because a group of citizens ask for the forest service not to destroy/close roads and the forest supervisors position was to state that if roads closures were not allowed the m alheur national forest would not allow timber harvest to take place which meant iron triangle the 70 million dollar benefactor to the "stewardship" contract would not see their money paid out. So, since former Grant County court judge Mark Webb has a personal relationship with iron triangle, plus a financial benefit to gather all power to the "collaborative" group that pays his wage he, as the executive director decided to work to get the forestry commission disbanded, so his on is justified and he and his friends can have complete control over project development and who gets the pay outs and Mr Webb continues to draw a tidy salary for facilitating the greasing of the tracks. The good ol'boy system runs rampant in Eastern Oregon, and the forest service helps fan the flames.


Clearly Trudeau is selling out Canadian security one purchase at a time.  My guess is that this is part of securing a free trade deal with China, a country Trudeau admires but has an abdominal human rights record and is show more and more belligerence as its economy grows.  These are not good signs.
As a strong supporter of free trade, but also as a person who loves Canada, I can do without the benefits of free trade with China in favour of a more secure and protected Canada.
Now, where are all those on the liberal-left who spent years attacking Harper for negotiating trade deals with China.  Be reminded that Harper never allowed the sale of a high-tech company with military products to be sold without a full security review.
Trudeau has disgusted me.


Schatz didn't study the climate change issue.  He is just following the party line which is anti-Trump. Of course, Trump doesn't have a clue but is against the existence of  climate change because that is pro-business.


What's a moth piece?


I think you meant, "...the media have a left-wing bias...."


Anything remotely to do with military secrets should NOT be for sale to the Chinese, who must be laughing at us for even considering such a thing. Don't do it.


He knows who he is selling to - Trudeau already said all the Canadian aid to other countries is to be focused on women. So asking him to take in mainly women refugees is a guaranteed sale.


Russia is internationally recognized as the legal successor state to the Soviet Union and assumed the Soviet Union's rights and obligations. So I am not sure how you dont see the connection. Today, Putin regimes tries to revive the Soviet past, conceals the past crimes and commits new crimes against own people and people in other countries, like Ukraine and Syria.

Following the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Stalin collaborated with Hitler and helped to boost his regime militarily and economically. Together they invaded Poland and other countries killing together innocent. No Ukrainians did such atrocities despite being attacked by both evil forces.


City of Port Townsend (all cupcakes)


As most any Trump supporter knows the Administration has several tools on the internet to get information. You can go to White House. Gov or to the Trump website or you can sign up for the newsletter. Unfortunately, these journalists are just trying to accost ( pun intended) the president and his representatives. To the best of my knowledge there is nothing that says that there has to be a press briefing. If the journalists don't like it they are welcome to boycott we can find more.


yea.. send Conniesz' personal residence address to Coalition for the Homeless as she seems to be eager to house them..


I am printing this one out, very interesting and informative. Thanks for posting this.


Thank Gary, I have and yes I did leave on ill terms. You are the right to say what I believe the are. I despise that group of owners. Maybe I was harsh but if you knew what I know you'd be hash also. (I removed my post because it was too harsh.) Still think Miller Coors is a step up for that swill of a owner group.


EPD won't come into the Whiteaker. I think it's a lack of courage thing; they're afraid of both the criminals and the community since we still haven't forgiven them for the many crimes committed by their officers here over the years. I'm amazed you even called them. None of the rest of us even bother since they've made it pretty clear they won't show up.


Yet in Ontario, who's had the reigns driving the province into the hole it finds itself today? Who's responsible? Who should be held accountable?


Hey donald keep doing your best deals ever; you finally figured out that your deplorables are loud, & obnoxious,  but unfortunately there are just a few of those small minds. You are so brilliant, you realize you won't win another election with the 34%, so you're switching sides.  Unfortunately Special Agent Mueller doesn't care. lol


So, not only do you want to see people who care about climate change jump off a cliff, you also want to euthanize the elderly to save you money.  You must be kidding, none of that will happen.  Social Security and Medicare will be fixed easily by increasing the income cut-off, which hasn't been raised since Harry Truman died.  Congress, specifically Republican congresspeople, are to blame.

I'm pretty sure that, hidden by a phony username, you are projecting anger, and you really don't want to see your parents kicked over a cliff.  Right?  Or maybe you intend to throw yourself over a cliff before you reach 67 years of age?


This whole state is a joke brah


Nearly forgot to mention that one wall of a huge dormitory at UAF is falling off.  A chunk of the wall fell down and crushed a car. . . . over a year ago.  Haven't heard anything about it since.


Please excuse him. You see, in his mind, CleanupEugene lives in a small town in Oregon in 1952. He still thinks gas is 20 cents a gallon, drives a Hudson Hornet, and grooves to the swingin' sounds of Miss Patti Page. He thinks women who think a sexual thought have "blazing saddles" and that all the lesbians want to recruit his wife. Pssst, don't tell him it's 2017!


On their current course, South Korea and Indonesia will be  considered 1st world countries thanks to Capitalism, and Socialism is theft, no matter how you spin it or what modifier you put in front of it.
.
Job opportunities are not "dismal," and no one is forcing anyone to either go to college or take out loans to do so.  I pay 0.00 to attend UAA if I graduate in the top 10% of my class, and I cover its cost in one summer of work.


This whole thing has Darwin Award written all over it. He was stupid for going in the first place, as is everyone who let him do it.


The solution, as much as I had to say it, is for Canada to be systematically targeted by terrorists.

The military needs to have a raison d'etre...a mission to focus on, or prepare for.  Otherwise, instead of focusing externally, they focus inwardly (circle the wagons and shoot inward).  That how politics, optics, gamesmanship, career climbing, harassment, one-upsmanship etc. becomes the substitute agenda for preparing for war.  We have a disproportionately high number of generals and HQ staff, busy playing the game, while lacking adequate equipment and combat staff.

Canadians don't like war and don't want to pay for preparing for one.  We can get away with it as long as we aren't targets.  But once we are a target, and we inevitably will, then we will complain about why our military wasn't ready.  There's nothing like a punch in the nose to re-establish priorities fast!


We have heard your pro rapist BS before.  These people are never cured, but get better at not getting caught.  The best thing we could do for a reduction in rape is triple the sentence, I don't mind paying the extra cost.


" legislators got a per diem raise from $213 to $275 when the U.S. Defense Department increased its expense rate"

They aren't the DOD.  They didn't 'get' a raise, they used this as an excuse to give themselves a raise.  Is this even legal?

Is there a lawyer here that can file a class action lawsuit against the legislature?
First of all they are violating the constitution with SB21.

Can we audit how the legislature spent all those billions when the revenue was rolling in?
WE need to follow the money trail and catch the corrupt bastards that looted the state.

It seems pretty clear they work for oil companies(and themselves) not the people of Alaska.  Can we put together a case to deliver to the FBI?

We have to do something, arrogance and hypocrisy have no meaning to these corrupt bastards.  It is an insult to our intelligence and an insult to the great (wo)men who built this state.

They will tax us, take our PFD and still keep spending on what they want unless we stop them.


Better they should both become members of Club Lead.


Continued from above

This whole situation was caused by the Bombardier Beaudoin family hanging onto a controlling position with a minority of shares and their belief that taxpayers money should be a source of funding. If the government had insisted on a regular share class structure the first time they wanted grants or loans Pierre Beaudoin would have fired a decade ago becuase he is largely to blame for the mess Bombardier is in.

Someone like Bellemare would have been found a long time ago and if the company got in trouble the equity markets would have most likely provided funding letting the free market work and saving tax payers the trouble. We would not then have had this trade complaint. The free markets saved Home Capital AFTER they did the right thing and cleared house.

Canadians will get behind Bombardier buying their stocks and bonds and advocating for them the moment the Laurentians stop scratching each others back on everyone elses dime. I would love to love Bombardier.


I believe that the military's reason is more pragmatic and systemic:  Weapons carried daily by troops get damaged, lost, rusted, or stolen.  Daily carry may be necessary in a war-zone, but not in state-side barracks.  Ammo is restricted because it "vanishes" so often, mostly due to unofficial, off-base target practice.  Troops could be issued individual gun lockers, but it is much more efficient to manage inventory and control weapons in the armory.  Terrorist acts on U. S. military bases is a relatively new phenomenon, and the bureaucracy is responding in its usual glacial manner.


"The Education Department has rescinded 72 policy documents that outline the rights of students with disabilities as part of the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate regulations it deems superfluous."

That's right folks, the tRump administration thinks protecting the rights of disabled kids is "superfluous". This POTUS and his sycophants like DeVos are morally bankrupt. They show time and time they are wholly unfit for leadership and governance.


How bout Linux which is free and very reliable.....  never going to happen.  Its all about the apps.


I think that when the oil boom returns to Alberta, everyone from BC who wants to work here (which, judging by the number of BC license plates in the fab shops, mod yards, construction sites, and shopping mall parking lots here in the last two booms would appear to be about half of BC's population) should have to apply as "temporary foreign workers"...


Don't you find it strange that after thousands of alleged death threats that the police have not made one arrest?


Thank you


Trump took a completely legal deduction, otherwise the state and federal tax authorities would have made him pay the taxes. If you don't like it, the ones to criticize are those who made the tax laws or allowed them to stand. Since Hillary Clinton was a Senator, she falls in this category. Trump does not.

Criticizing Trump for taking a legal deduction is logically the same as saying he should have paid more than he was legally required to pay. Unless a person taking this stance pays more taxes than they are legally required to pay, or they at least require anyone they would vote for President to do so, then they are a hypocrite seeking a particular political outcome as the only reason for their hypocrisy.

By the way, no candidate for President is required to release their taxes. It's an option. When someone else obtains and releases them, it's a crime. That should be the story here, and we as citizens should not tolerate such a thing. We still get to vote for whomever we wish.


DARE isn't toxic.  Marijuana is toxic.


Regarding that statue; in winter it will provide shelter from the wind, in summer shade from the African sun, it may also provide an income to some enterprising informal scrap dealers and in the meantime the pigeons can speak for us all.
1963 was a long time ago.... of greater current interest is the whereabouts of  Zuma's next site of arrest?


Conservative Xtians would ban reality if they could.   After all, they do their dead-level best to insulate everyone from  it while substituting their comfortable delusion.


Bush fought the military industrial complex who was generating mega millions with providing things like armored vehicles on long term contracts. Then every time Obama even hinted at leaving Afghanistan Congress went crazy, the war mongers cried over leaving, the contractors went back to lobby more in Congress and overall  anything but leave was the result.  Now Trump needs a win and Don the OHIO CON see this as a way to get him one.


Doesn't matter. I will still not fly on United airlines.  They will be in the dog house for years.


Not to mention the increased CPP payroll tax for businesses.  Layer on the small business tax reforms, carbon tax (not necessarily a pass-through if it hits certain supply chains multiple times) and higher income tax if you are successful, and you could sum up Trudeau in two words: job killer.


I think gallup is a couple of steps quicker than boldin.


I would go further. I don't think doctors and nurses should be involved in this at all. The conflicts of interest are far too great. If society feels assisted death is necessary there should be a special profession trained to do it. it would be staffed by people who believe in it, rather than trying to co-opt people who don't.


No....the "talented" Mr. Butts hired this chap.


Typical bureaucrat: not spending HIS money, so cost isn't a factor. Let the hoi polloi pay for it.


Send HitLIARy, Nancy Pelosi and Obama as diplomats to NK and offer them as an sacrificial offering to calm the fat boy.


Just because the dreams are there, doesn't mean the geology is.

We are wasting precious state resources on this wealth redistribution effort.


Having ranched in Middle Park and using 33 csf of Colorado River water, I do and have participated in that history. I was referring to the fact that a lot of water rights can't be be transferred from one drainage basin toanother, say Western Slope to Eastern.


Another of these uber-patriots who don't know enough about patriotism to know that you DON'T wear the flag as clothing. Couple their corn-pone phoniness with abject stupidity and it comes out like a barlock...and you get useless yellow flag magnets for your car to 'honor' our troops.


Really, Buster?  So you know all the women who get abortions?


Now you are just talking crazy.  Gun owners should be responsible?????


I'll just leave this here: http://sanevax.org/vaccines-and-the-myth-of-herd-immunity/


How many states do we have again?


No, not cynical. This is similar to what is going on in California,  which has a bill that would punish with a fine and jail if you use the wrong pronoun for a transgendered person. They specify...are you ready...transgendered nursing home patients. No doubt for the reasoning you describe.  Once they get that through no doubt other ages will follow.

One would think it's hard enough to get good workers in that industry without the fear of jail. And if it were a serious problem one would assume that the quaint practice of firing a problem employee would suffice. So now we have folks who think words should be punished by the state, and using the elderly to get started.


Nancy:  You may or may not know that those students and their teacher(s) were attacked on this site by critics from the right......."they didn't write that letter themselves"....they're just "sheeple" being used by left-wing teachers.....etc.

Like you, I commend the courage they showed in both their actions and with a very civil letter in response to the rather uncivil comments regarding their demonstration in support of the other young people who have taken action to promote addressing climate change.

He or his family should have forfeited Canadian citizenship or not received it in the first place.
