Don't flatter yourself. I'm not accusing you of being Trump. I'm pointing out that you have the same pathology as Trump. An affinity for conflict and vindictiveness. And speaking of being childish, your compulsive need to follow me around to feebly attempt rebutting my comments makes you about as infantile as it gets.

Right on Senator, with exception to Lisa, our republican leaders have no honor, just suppression of our freedoms and beliefs. The day will come when these citizens realize who the real trash bags are, How many times do we have to refight old battles. Nobody will respect the US.

Cash is always the preferred payment for businesses that want to avoid taxes and for consumers who want to avoid paying HST. However, this Square payment option is a low fee convenient way for customers that don't have cash to pay. I'm not really sure why there is suspicion that businesses who use this are not reporting taxes correctly, it wouldn't be any different from people who are using other services for credit/debit card transactions.

Apparently public sector union folks believe that: "Outsourcing within the public service should, by its nature, be short-term, limited and targeted to areas where missing expertise is quickly transferred to permanent employees." Given the adversarial disposition of the writer (she runs The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, a public sector labour union), the Phoenix problems encountered represent a remarkable coincidence - a demonstrable event aligned perfectly with the union's stated position on outsourcing. Begs the question as to whether this coincidence was engineered, or perhaps even manufactured, to produce evidence supporting the writer's polarized beliefs about outsourcing. She's certainly got quite the pitch going .... http://www.pipsc.ca/portal/page/portal/website/aboutinstitute/pres ... and Canadian taxpayers fund her every ambition.

I'm surprised no one else commented on the irony contained in this editorial. The Editorial Board spent most of their time and efforts bemoaning the sad state of gun availability, carping about how easy it is for guns to fall into the wrong hands, and advocating tighter controls... and then they "take heart in the courage exhibited by church neighbors who wounded Kelley in a shootout and chased him down to his death" and also pay homage to Jean Assam, the volunteer civilian security guard who killed a mass shooter at a Colorado Springs church, commenting that "such bravery and ability likely saved lives." These were PRIVATE GUN OWNERS, too... in this case, "good guys with guns." C'mon guys and gals, you can't have it both ways.

Or maybe how Newsweek knew about but ignored the Monica Lewinsky bombshell, before Matt Drudge broke it propelling his Drudge Report to the number one aggregating news site on the internet? The fact of the matter is the liberal media routinely refuses to break stories of Dem scandals- even when they have plenty of damning evidence, but wholeheartedly report on Repub "scandals" even when they have no evidence.

I agree with your statement completely. Whether one believes or not is moot, because EVERYONE dies we will all learn the truth of it. Let's assume the Christian viewpoint is correct, just for arguments sake. You have a good man who is an atheist, but gives to his community and is extremely charitable, humble, honest and honorable in every way. In the same town you have a 'Holy' man, who preaches love, charity, kindness and believes wholly in Jesus as his savior, but this man is corrupt, bigoted, commits sins, and does not truly love his neighbors, but uses them for money. Which of these two men will go to heaven? Matthew 9: 12-13 is often interpreted incorrectly. Jesus said he came for the 'spiritually sick' as he spoke to 'righteous' men of his day. Often this passage is used to say that 'good' people cannot go to heaven just for being good. I disagree. I think he wasn't pointing out the 'good' who lack faith, but the self-righteous, who are clean on the outside but foul inside.

Not only could this offence be impeachable, it could be high treason. At the very least, perjury: "Sally Yates, the acting attorney general, judged an intercepted call “highly significant” and “potentially illegal” under the Logan Act, which bars private citizens from interfering in diplomatic disputes with other countries. When word of the Flynn-Kislyak call leaked on Jan. 12, a Trump official denied that sanctions were discussed. The White House spokesman, Sean Spicer, gave a similar answer on Jan. 13, as did Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 15. After Mr. Trump’s inauguration, Mr. Spicer said on Jan. 23 that Mr. Flynn again assured him that sanctions had not been discussed. Shortly afterward, Ms. Yates, with agreement from James Comey, the F.B.I. director, informed Donald McGahn, the White House counsel, about what really happened."

Easy solution, problem solved and we don't have to spend very much money to dedicate those lanes.

continued... Jews helpfully label themselves officially: Secular (cultural) jews, Reform Jews, Conservative Jews, Orthodox, Ultra-orthodox, Hasidim, etc. Christians have dozens of pretty clearly defined denominations from ultra-liberal to ultra-conservative. So it is much clearer than in Islam, where the battle between islamists and moderates, liberals or secular Muslims isn't between clearly defined groups, but a battle to define what is "mainstream". The battle around the hijab has been going on among Muslims themselves for ages, and after decades of liberal Islam winning, the islamists are now regaining ground, and the left like you are siding with them. The Left that used to ridicule Victorian prudishness and Christian missionaries for making "naked savages" cover up, now see nothing negative about claims that women who bare more than their faces are "immodest" and displeasing to Allah.

Sorry to say but the Empire Builder that stated in 1929 as this reporter (Don C Brunell) report is incorrect. Amtrak was not formed until 1971. The earlier years were the passenger service by the railroads. IF this 'gentleman' were a resident of Glasgow, MT, or Essex, MT, he would not promote taking away his ONLY method of transportation. The organization of Amtrak was to replace the private train service provided by many different railroads across this great country. My last 7 years of railroading was as Manager then Director of Amtrak Train & Power Operations on the Burlington Northern Railroad. In my position I was able to ride many of the 15 daily trains operating on the BN tracks. They were well used by the people all across the country as well as people traveling from end to end of the route.

The science may indeed change over time - that is the nature of the scientific method - but the fact is that it's the best science we have, it's been consistent for several decades now, and the threat is so significant we'd be fools to ignore it.

Health insurance premiums were growing at an un-affordable and unsustainable rate well before the ACA. Although the ACA has added to the expense for sure, you can't say that we had affordable health care coverage before the ACA but now we don't because, even without the ACA, premiums would have likely risen to close to what they are now. The problem is not the lack of affordable insurance. Insurance will never be affordable so long as it's a for profit enterprise trying to pay the expenses of another for profit enterprise that sells services that are necessary but without sufficient cost controls.
