You can't fire an FBI director.  You can only impeach (by the house senate)


I think they will be fighting Hawaiian, Alaska/Virgin America, Delta, United , American Airlines for gate space during peak times at HNL. They all use or will be using medium size aircraft and fight with Wide bodies during this period. State is retrofitting  the diamond head concourse for Island Air which would accommodate SW if they entered the Inter-Island Market. Somebody has to pay for it if Island Air goes under.


To compare lynch to tebow makes no sense,tebow was a pitcher playing quarterback,he had all the other intangibles to be successful but style didn't equate to the NFL,you need to go back to what Elway said about lynch when drafted him he knew then he needed some time to develop,he went from a spread offense to west coast,different terminology and then kubiak retires and coach Joseph brings in McCoy,three different styles.patience is needed for lynch not scorn Trevor is the starter for this season hopefully lynch will be ready for next season,as far as sloter is concerned he was a camp arm he didn't have a realistic chance,every time the Broncos draft a quarterback in the later rounds and look good against the other teams bubble players people over hype these guys,slower may turn out to be good but not in Denver,Elway has been around every aspect of football,his dad was a coach plus he was the best college quarterback in college,and one of the best in the NFL,I trust what he says.


Along with all that money comes expectations of a payoff. Campaign finance is a joke. What voters want is complete transparency on political donations at $1000 and higher amounts. We want to know who is providing the money. Neither Democrats nor Republicans push for it since transparency is not desired by many rich and corrupt donors.

The unnamed operatives in both political parties also are not being truthful when they try to blame the problems on open primaries. The far left and far right just don't want open primaries. Open primaries allow more people to vote instead of allowing them to push forward with their extremism during the nomination process. The political parties mostly exist to serve their own needs to gather votes and money rather than the public interest despite their claims to the contrary.


I lived under Mao's reign myself actually, for quite long time. Xi is nothing like Mao, nor his reign.


Holy journalism Batman, Ibbitson has metamorphosed  from the ultra right to something close to communism.


Imagine if an inmate died while COs stood around outside his cell waiting for "backup."  Or a woman was allowed to die from neglect, all the while other inmates were begging for help for her, or an inmate got assaulted by an officer and the other COs covered it up; imagine a CO lost his temper and broke a mentally challenged man's nose by smashing his face into a concrete floor then was allowed to "retire" early with full benefits, was hired back and only fired (no charges filed) after he brought a gun to work and threatened a fellow CO. This actually happened at Spring a Creek.


The tone of your reply speaks volumes. Is someone who commits voter fraud without being convicted of such disqualified from receiving a PFD check?

Their proof of residency may be something very different than their voting registration and last I checked residency was the only qualification for receiving a dividend (share of the state's accumulated wealth owed to Alaskans).

It's not welfare, you're thinking of the cash subsidies disguised as an unregulated financial security the oil industry is gifted for doing nothing but produce oil they were going to produce anyway.


I was referring also to Ms Altenhofen, who like many cyclists who write in to the paper clearly feel superior to people who use cars for transportation.  No, Ms Macarelli's daughters don't need to take kids to daycare, grandma to the doctor and commute 30 miles to a job now, but someday they may.  Maybe they won't be able to brag about their "one car lifestyle". Will mom look down on them at that point?

I have no idea about 'doth protesting too much'.  I'm expressing my opinion.  If riding a bike fits in your lifestyle, go for it.  But don't disdain those who don't have the health or lifestyle that enables biking everywhere or even anywhere.  When people talk about how virtuous they are in their "happy healthy lifestyle" and "not contributing to global warming", that's what they are doing.


You're his carny barker?

Thousands of jobs?

You don't even believe the nonsense you imagine.

Excuse me? There is no moral equivalency here, Richard. When you make one all you are doing is supporting Nazism, full stop. "Both sides" are not wrong when one side consists of swastika wearing, "Heil Trump" shouting, goose stepping honest to god actual Nazis. Why is it so hard for you guys to condemn this? Republicans used to be against fascism and Nazism, but in the age of Trump I guess they're somehow considered an acceptable faction of the conservative movement. How are you not ashamed of this?
Stop misusing the term "free speech." No one was arrested for saying or printing anything, therefore there was no infringement of free speech. Free speech means the government cannot impose jail time, fines or other legal penalties for engaging in protected expression. It does not mean that everyone else has to listen to your BS or treat your ideas as legitimate and deserving of equal consideration with all others.


I agree with the other posters here...just raise the property taxes.
10% increase should do it.  If the average homeowner is currently paying around $5,000.00 that would amount to only $500.00 more per year.  Or to put it into terms that Liberals would understand...
that's less than a Timmie's a day.
Just ask Bob Chiarelli


Uh-huh. But of course, the motion does bind the govn't to do what the motion says the govn't has to do if adopted.

Wow, Liberals are really into double-speak these days, aren't they.


Too funny! Liberals and their costumes.  I can't decide which is more ridiculous - this, or the pink kitty hats.
On November 8, the anniversary of Trump's victory, a bunch of them are planning to scream up into the sky.  This should be very entertaining.


I wonder if your niece meant saw no men in Roman collars. Just watching on television I recognized three Jesuit priests and one Dominican but none wore collars.


You can most definitely patent a process... the same way you can patent a drug... pretty much the only way chemists make money. It costs a lot of time and money to research a method, or a process, on how to make or extract a compound, or drug, and if you do that, you are entitled to monies from whoever wishes to copy said formula. It's pretty much the basis of the entire biotech industry so I don't know why I need to explain this. Fact is they have a cost effective and efficient process to derive these compounds at high purity which are widely used and sought after. There there is a growing demand not only as a skin product, but as a way to help lower cholesterol. The preliminary trials for that are looking very positive, and once published, there is then access to a industry which is worth billions. Aveeno is a company which already purchases from Ceapro.. it's the active ingredient in their products, so yeah I've checked them out. 100 years of MD's concentrated in one drop. Nice.


Calling someone stupid does not reflect well on you or your decency and ability to participate in an adult debate on issues. In fact...using the words you feel okay to apply to others...well they make you seem rather st*pid.


Look like Leah is heading for a divorce.

No surprise, she is white and the statistics say most white women initiate divorce.

I guess hypergamy didn't work for her this time.

You can try again - for white women men are like cereal - just try a new one out.


I'm amazed at what people don't know about driving laws. a guy I work with didn't know it's illegal to change lanes across two solid lines.


If that is the US position, and not just bombast to placate Trump's base, then we should abandon the talks.


It's not illegal or unusual to ask for loyalty.  And Comey agreed to be loyal!

I'll tell you in advance what the Russia investigation will uncover:  nothing.

They've been "investigating" for 6 months and they still have nothing.  If there was something going on they would have found it by now.


How's the weather in Moscow this morning, 'bot?


I read that in a book by Stephen Hawking.


Cool.


Attacking the messenger is the evidence of old tired leftist thinking.    I have quantum AG reports to support my assertion.  What do you have?


I tend to believe there was some biased reporting here.  Only Jeannette can answer that.  Some reporters like to use sensationalism in hopes their story will go 'viral'.   Hopefully that wasn't the case here.


I'm basically a liberal except on immigration.

But, no matter if Trump moves to the far left or not, I say we still need to have him removed from office.

He's really dangerous.  Maybe even more so right now than ever before.  He's actually playing his last hand.  The GOP won't trust him after this, and the Dems simply will not embrace him unless he's giving them clear wins.

He can't give ANYONE a clear win for too long.  It's not about "winning" as he so dishonestly and ironically coined during his campaign.  Except, to the extent "winning" means his Narcissistic impulses and needs are fulfilled.

What he does today could turn on a dime.  Just like what he was doing, literally yesterday, did.

What that means, for all of us, liberal or conservative or in the middle, is that we are at grave risk due to the guy's condition caused instabiity.

Congress needs to act.  Mueller needs to hurry.  Pence needs to learn lessons about bipartisanship in the meanwhile.

We need to come together..


Alaska has by far the highest rates of Alcoholism, Drug Use, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Molestation, Neglect, and all manner of Human Depravity per capita.  Are you living in a cave and can't do research, or do you need help ?


Let's use your same yardstick against Mexico which deports thousands of "residents" back to Guatemala and has a massive wall along its border with that country. A wall so big it would make the one Trump fantasizes about look like a flimsy picket fence.


Your consultation is a sham, since you've obviously already made up your mind.

As a middle aged business owner that makes in about 100-150K a year annually, taking no vacations, working 70 hours a week, ALREADY paying 53% tax in Ontario, this proposal ensures that I have no incentive to try to grow my business for more 47 cent dollars.

If this goes through, I will work less, probably live longer, but I will be sure to donate to the Conservative Party of Canada as much a I can afford as the only pathetic measure I can use to protest against your assault on how I've spent the last 20 years of my life, on my retirement, and on my children's future.

I will never forgive what you are doing it.  Meanwhile how does the Liberal government spend this money?  Outside of Canada to a large extent, or on non-Canadians.   Sickening.


In civilized countries, it is not necessary to pack at weapon at church since the chances of a shooter bursting through the doors is pretty much nil. In the U.S., not so much.


I am  all for protests, having heard some of the vulgarity coming out of Madonna's mouth I would have been totally embarrassed  standing amongst these demonstrators.   Besides we females have the world by the tail and can be anything we want to be.


All forms of hate needs to be eliminated. All forms of racism, Islamophobia, Homophobia, anti-semitism and laws discriminating against Transgenders.
We need to get behind Justin, Obama, Hillary and Premier Wynne and fight all forms of hate which includes Trump!


It's pretty evident you didn't read the transcripts of what was actually said, nor did you research the actual case.  You've probably read some Breitbart garbage.

Where exactly is "Columbia" anyway?

How many years of investigations into Benghazi did we get to pay for?  Investigations that one after another didn't turn up anything, until the email server was turned up, I might add.  The fact that all of our intelligence agencies as well as the FBI believe that the Russians did try to mess with our elections and the fact that several members of Trump's campaign had close ties to Russia do make it worth looking into.  I get that you feel that Trump is getting a raw deal, but even the Republican controlled Senate is concerned enough to be investigating.  This isn't just a Democrat run thing.


Wonkette has this GIF for a post related to McTurtle's speech after they were unable to kill the most vulnerable Americans. Still makes me laugh.

no! no!
a thousand times NO!


It isn't involves an idiotic grin on his face as if some minor, childish rhetorical point is a major victory. The guy had a huge amount of maturing ahead of him, Tim will tell if that is within him. But he can stay with wiping the stupid bratty 12 year old boy grin off his face.


The Progressive Party had nothing to do with the Progressive Conservative Party. Have someone read the articles I listed to you. You need to learn.


OK, Elaine, you have the same information we have.
On the basis of this story, if you had to decide whether this story is "more likely true" or "more likely false" without any third option, how would you vote?

Of course, the bishop is innocent until proven guilty; but that doesn't mean we have to assume  on available evidence that it is equally likely that he is not-guilty as that he is guilty.


Again, you must be a newbie.   :-)

(It's a joke. You can get it if you try. Otherwise, I guess I'll just keep trying. Are you Pan?)


As a businessman myself, I'm not a big fan of turning any business away, and that's important because to turn business away suggests one has pretty strong feelings about his/her reason for refusal of service.

Better to not know, then one does not need to be put in a moral dilemma.  But if a client approaches a merchant and expresses his unrepentant participation in sinful acts (in the belief of the merchant), he should be allowed to deny that person service.


Build it around New Mexico, too.


Well if you starve a program for funding, of course it's going to lack funding. If you expand Medicare to more people, you would of course have to have additional funding to accommodate those people.

Medicare is NOT driving the cost increases, Medicare keeps costs down.


Sounds to me like they just gave up and crawled into their tent.  They should have kept fighting to remove the snow.


See what Dr. Fred Baughman had to say about druggin military personell, and how they dont die from suicide they die from a combination of antipsychotics  in combination with antidepressants. They die in their sleep from cardiac arrest. See what Dr. BREGGIN HAS TO SAY. ALSO dr. BREGGINS NEW BOOK IS ALL ABOUT PSTCHIATRIC DRUG WITHDRAWAL,


A book I'm reading right now called "Ratf**ked" which chronicles the very purposeful tactic of the Republican party via SLCS in 2008, after Obama and Dems. swept the country."Leftists" lost the Senate? In 2008, Obama had a majority in both houses, so might want to recheck your "facts".

Thats when Karl Rove and some others made a plan, REDMAP, to attack 25 vulnerable state houses with extreme outside money to take those state houses at any cost so they could get the levers of redistricting. They did in 2010, and redistricted in such a gerrymandered way as had never been seen before using a computer program called Maptitude.

The lines they made for congressional districts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina flipped those states from Democrat congressional majorities to Rep. by a huge ratio. The funny thing was, even though the Dems. took most of the total votes in those states, R's took a much higher ratio of congressmen. This is not democracy.


Rest in Peace.  Wonderful talent, beautiful music; I will always look back at those concerts and gigs in Waikiki and elsewhere with such pleasure.


Commmoner-
In the 00's people continued to buy cars from GM and Chrysler.  Just sayin' .


That specific area is mostly locals, homeless, junkies, and predators.


The penalties are only half of the problem the other half is UH doesn't know how to play defense.  Every team we play has their highlight game against us. Next year year everyone will schedule their homecoming game against UH.


FM:  There are relatively few non-Alaskans who earn enough to pay an income tax.  Most non-resident employees work in the seafood processing and hospitality industries, are seasonal, and do not earn enough to pay an income tax.  The ones that would pay the tax are the 200,000 Alaskan wage earners that earn enough to pay the tax.  So you prefer to burden hard working Alaskans with an income tax to get a few dollars out of non-Alaskans.  You must not be an Alaskan.


Seriously?

No, Woody Allen.


Are you insinuating something? I don't know this family. I read the story and made some comments in a public forum. The GoFundMe is a separate issue. What we were disagreeing about was whether to call 911. You are strangely trying to win that discussion.


Muslims and Christians co-existed historically more than Germans and the French. Europe has had continuous wars from the 1st century to the mid 20th century. The peace we see now in in the EU is the longest period of peace in the last 2000 years.


Therefore - by your own calculations, Daysofmiracle - Trump DOES represent "roughly half of the American people", right?

So, here we are...


Wow, I'm a critic of HNL but one of the few good things I've experienced during the past year has been going through customs/immigration upon arriving from foreign sites. Now with the electronic customs machines my in and out have been 10-15 minutes. Those improvements are likely due to it being under the federal government. What I still don't like is the WikiWiki buses that are too old, slow and uncomfortable. You are right about getting through NRT.


Because most of the work you're proposing to have inmates do is currently being done, if done at all, by unionized public employees.   I can still hear the late Al Baffone of Laborers' Local 71 howling at us about how our use of "convict labor" was putting his members out of work because we were using inmates to help cook and serve food in the prisons.   And we'd rather our roadsides be scraggly, brushy messes or mass beds of dandelions than put some inmates out with a sling blade and make the State look like somebody cares.


I'm an immigrant who came to Canada as a child. I'm old enough to remember a time when immigrants understood that coming to a new country was essentially a trade-off. You got to come to a new place that was safe, stable and more prosperous. In return you had to adapt to life in a new society. That didn't mean you had to give up everything from your past but there was a clear understanding that your life would change.

Now we have people like Ms. Khan who think that Canadian society must change to accommodate their social and/or religious beliefs. Sorry but it's just not possible to come to a new country and expect to live the way you did in your old country. That expectation is neither realistic or reasonable.


Adam Silver is one of the most sexist administrators I've read about. He puffed and pounded his chest relocating the All-Star game out of North Carolina over the state's bathroom bill. So Silver has no problem of whoever uses what bathroom in Charlotte, no matter what the person "feels" like that day. But when it comes to a woman, a 101 percent woman; who acts and thinks like a woman; a woman who has the evidence she is a woman when you look down her pants: Silver does not want her on a NBA team. She has to play in the WNBA. He should have kept the NBA out of politics and kept his focus on the game.


Not like CONservatives.


Stand for Salmon makes good sense, and is very needed to protect our sustainable coastal economies.  I will sign and vote for it, and would urge others to consider doing so as well.

The NRA just needs to go away. It always amazes me that otherwise responsible gun owners continue to allow these whack jobs to make them look bad. It's high time for the NRA to stop running our country.


Your examples are accredited universities that have to meet high standards to maintain their accreditations. The online schools Betty DeVos would allow have no track record and nothing to make them accountable. We would have thousands of little Trump universities scamming students, their parents and the state departments of education out of millions of dollars. Dumb idea.


i would gather 200 of my closest friends and have a sit in in the hallway .200 of the biggest people i could find, instruct them how to become counterproductive to being moved...


Correct. I just meant to point out that we have the skill sets and desire to apply for dollars for such services such as mental health and addictions prevention and treatment; these services, without us applying for them, would just end up in other hands outside of Lane County (with us taxpayers still paying for them).


Here it goes again, down the toilet, thanks to Republican Legislator, Gattis. Penny wise and dollar foolish.  Completely cuts off internet service to 40 rural communities, to save $695,000 in the state budget, and in doing so, gives up $3 million in federal matching dollars.  Roughly for every $1 dollar saved - $5 dollars is lost.  Thanks to our 4th grader Republican legislator.  REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER.


I see your point JSB1.  I worded my question poorly.  I should have asked:
"What higher human purpose is served by places like this?"


WHAT?!?  WE CAN'T  HEAR YOU!


Hey *Starz,* you know what every mass shooter in the last 2 years has had in common, besides being registered Democrat and ardent Hillary supporters? *None* of them have been NRA members.


My fellow Trump supporters, this is a Hillary forum. These people that vote for her are dangerous to a free republic. It would be ok for them if Hillary barbecued a baby & ate it on the White House lawn. They will give her a pass for literally anything! Trump is winning low-lifes, like it or not, ha, ha! She can't get more than 100 people at her rallies. Hillary in Ohio appeared on stage with Jay-Z, right after these performers denigrated women! You people with your pc good intentions will pave this country a road to hell!


A Speaker has to be chosen and I'm not sure how this is done in BC.  If one of the Greens is chosen to be speaker, it would give the Liberals a majority of one.  This subject was discussed on CBC TV week or so ago but I didn't pay much attention.


It is about time.  It should have never reached this point.  Nice to have him back.  May he have have the best year yet.


It's actually quite funny how the childish Libs here default is always name-calling while having the nerve to pontificate about being well- educated on so on.  Almost as ironic as the feigned outrage over fake news, email hacking, Russia, etc, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.


Mr. Luchs:  Please quit making such sensible, rational suggestions.  The EWEB site was a good option months (is it years now?) ago and remeains so.  I, as you say, could make a beautiful civic center surrounded by parkland.  The downtown site could be sold for development, enhancing the city core.  I think, and the responses to your letter confirm, that the Council needs to "rethink" the City Hall proposal.

Thank for "rekindling" this thought.   regards, Gary


Upgrading and protecting our electrical grid should have been our #1 priority for the last 30 years. I really hope that if we do any future "infrastructure" spending that the grid is tops on the list. People NEED to contact their representatives and push for this. Forget political bickering and lets focus on protecting our nation. It's security, it's jobs and I cannot see how anyone from either Party can complain about that. Lets fix this problem before we face an apocalypse situation. This is no joke.


Learn to read.  She didn't say she wanted to kill the President.  LOL


This would be a welcome change for me, moving to CIBC. I've grown to dislike President's Choice and Loblaws ever since I heard about how they took advantage of one of their business partners involving frozen yogurt (YoPro Treats) and effectively ruined them. Google for: YoPro Loblaws  ... to get a view to how a small Canadian entrepreneurship story was turned into a nightmare for those two poor people.  It was several years ago, and I don't know how YoPro is doing, but it's probably still before the courts. However I am very glad to be able to divest myself of my banking with President's Choice, and I hope others will agree that Loblaws is a voracious and predatory company for what they have done to YoPro and presumably other small Canadian businesses.


My name is Nick not Mark. Can you explain what your 50  + year old siblings are doing....I don't think so. Go ask him yourself...


I'm of the opinion that examining what made us who were are today, no matter how ugly or distasteful to those faint of heart, has ever turned anyone into a pillar of salt.


Not as tragic as the Phaneuf deal, but not significantly better.  Senators management is working hard to build a mediocrity.


Out-physicaled?  Didn't Rolo bring in Bubba Reynolds from Nevada to be his  Strength and Conditioning Coordinator?  So he's throwing Bubba under the bus?
Regarding Dru, "“He missed some throws,” Rolovich said of Brown."  Now that is an understatement.  Dru missed a streaking Isaiah Bernard who was so open you could have run a bus between him and the DB.   I think Rolo is being too soft on Dru.  “It wasn’t great protection, either.” The O-line didn't hold their blocks long enough?  How much time does Dru need?  Okay, while we're at it, let's throw the O-line under the bus too.


Can I be next?


How has the guy who isn't even president yet "filled the swamp"? haha...must still be Bush's fault


This is called inflation.


Alceste: You focus on the difference between the Commission and the Tribunal, but ignore the main point - the clear bias of the Chief Commissioner.  This is from the Commission's website:
"The OHRC has unique legal powers under the Human Rights Code.  We may conduct inquiries, make an application (a complaint) directly to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario to allege discrimination and seek a Tribunal order, or intervene in applications before the Tribunal. The OHRC may also take part in cases before other administrative tribunals and courts." One of its "unique legal powers" is to launch prosecutions before courts and tribunals. Apparently you have no problem with the Chief Commissioner/Chief Prosecutor with "unique legal powers" being so obviously biased. The Tribunal is a separate organization that does hold hearings, including adjudicating prosecutions launched by the Commission, and does levy financial penalties to be paid by those convicted to those judged to be aggrieved.


I've been a longtime Wind/Freedom customer and love it. Many Canadians, unfortunately, b*tch and moan constantly about Bell and Rogers but, when given an alternative, just go back for more abuse. Small-time thinkers, for sure.


You obviously have no clue of what is actually going on. In the last 5-6 years it is not uncommon to get a month's worth of rain in 3 or 4 hours. Severe weather events are characteristic of climate change. The Calgary flooding of 2013 cost 2.5 billion in damage. We have had repeated major flood events on the prairies at a rate far beyond all historical measures. There is a reason why the big farmers are spending millions on drainage systems.

Climate change is real, pal, it is happening and dirty Deniers have their heads in a dark place.


UnAmerican if you have a so-called orange wannabe presidential candidate advocating mob rule.


You can't fix stupid


"This partisan bill is an ACA-total-repeal bill that takes insurance away from millions of Americans – including hundreds of thousands of Coloradans."  This statement is totally distorted! And, please remember, Obamacare was a partisan bill!


Well, this has certainly opened up a can of worms.  Is pot better or worse than alcohol?  A neighbour drinking in his backyard isn't bothering me, if that's all he's doing, but pot smoke is really objectionable.  I can see that this is a situation where bylaws might be useful to make life more civil for everyone.  Just because something is not criminal, like keeping junked cars on your lawn or playing loud music late at night, doesn't mean that it's uncivil, and that's where bylaws generally step in.  If you want to live someplace where you don't have to consider the feelings of your neighbours, you need to live somewhere very far from other people.


Morneau goes off on one direction at the G20 just before our friendly neighbour gears up to go in the completely opposite direction. While one is making Canada poorer again, the other is making America great (and richer) again. This would be just fine for Justin & Co.  if Ms. Clinton had gained the presidency and implemented soak the rich policies too. But with Mr. Trump in power, the contrast  in policies is increasing by the day, and the coming budget is going to make everything worse for our investment climate and economy.  The Liberals are on the wrong track on fiscal management, but they might just be able to convince their supporters that attacking 'rich' people they are making everyone equal and that's fair and anyway it was the Liberals that let them into the country in the first place. Will the politics of resentment work? So far, so good.


Crap propaganda !  Both sides hate and accept funds from haters. Seems as though the Liberals are way more violent than the Conservatives, but are painted as more violent by the False News Media? Remember your history ! African tribes were the largest group of Slave Owners, and they sold their brothers and sisters into slavery.


History has not yet been weitten just wait to see Do you really  believe America will be better off 4 years down the line? Good Luck with that and once again as the Brexit the more impact will be the poor blue-collar  people who voted for this insanity You can not pray globalization and the technological breackthrough away The cat is out of the bag adapt or die


>Can you name any “young growth” sales that have been proposed, not objected to by environmentalists, and then proceeded to harvest?<

Yes, the Dargon Pt. timber sale on Prince of Wales Island  and the Hecate [Island] timber sale, to name just two.


I had the option to buy my Jeep 2016 with no bells and whistles, mostly, except for sound system and up to date blue tooth communication, automatic transmission, the rest as in the older times.
Saved over 10 thousand dollars in a new vehicle.


Richard. We're in the same business - I've followed your posts for years. Unfortunately, I think you are wrong in this instance. Yes, aircrew and station agents can have a seated passenger removed - for a very good reason i.e the person(s) poses a danger/hazard to the flight (drunk, disorderly, incapacitated, threatening as prime examples). But not for corporate purposes. Add the use of overwhelming force (3 large male rent-a-cops?) and you have prima facie assault.

United was totally, categorically and criminally wrong with their actions. I'm pretty certain the airline will pay dearly for their mistake.

Best regards.


Oh, yes, Max is a "libertarian." Max is a "conviction politician." There can hardly be anything more fundamental than deciding where we want to live.  A libertarian would oppose immigration controls other than those designed to keep out criminals, paedophiles and terrorists. But here's Max, falling in line with all the other big-government-interfering-in-our-lives weenies. His position is not particularly radical for a Tory - suspicion of brown people is a fundamental value for that party - but can we all quit pretending that he's anything other than another pandering statist? Beating up on some egg farmers' quotas? Oh yeah, Max is all in. Standing up for the right to move freely and lvie where we choose? Peep, peep, peep!


US will be sending millions of illegals aliens along with all potential terrorist as refugees to the Canada following Justin statement that Canada is will take them in.


This is shallow, headline grabbing reporting. And many readers are taken in by the headline and forget that everything an economist says is based on DOZEN assumptions that mostly get it wrong. Lets face it more disposable income redistributes wealth which raises the standard of living of those who are at the bottom. No HEALTHY small business is going to shut down because they have to pay their two employees a few buck more. As long as raises are kept to moderate ($15/hr is moderate) then all is fine.


Salmon have to be protected. I agree with you.


This is third world corruption at its finest. Basically Del Duca is using taxpayers' money to bribe voters in his riding. It's nauseating and doesn't belong in a true democracy. Del Duca should be asked to resign.


But junkies ad chisma to the streets of Vancouver!


I read this, then went back to read about lucy vinis' state of the city address on Monday, then wondered why Eugene just can't contract with Springfield for city operations. Eugene will hire an Airport Art consultant, why not just hire out for the whole package? Make Eugene great again!


Wiliki, Mrs. Johnson is upset because the only way Trump could remember her husband’s name was from a report he had in front of him.  How else was Trump supposed to remember the names of more than 1.2 million men and women who serve on active duty and more than 800,000 more who serve in the reserves and are frequently called to active duty.  Such criticism is unjustified.


x
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced the first episode of The Story of Us last month. The series was commissioned by the CBC
-----
isn't our PM over-exposed?
really, introduced the first episode?
why not just give him a role as one of the actors - maybe one of the ruggedly handsome lumberjacks?

is this payback for Trudeau increasing the funding for the CBC?


Snopes has a good summary, but there is other information out there.  There is precisely zero evidence to support the notion of Pizzagate.  It appears to be a nonsensical right wing nutcase conspiracy theory.


"Trump has not yet said where he will get the billions of dollars needed to pay for thousands of new border control agents, a network of detention facilities to detain people in the country illegally and a wall along the entire southern border with Mexico."
Surprise, surprise!  Coming from the man whose projected expenditures on his family's transportation, lodging, and protection in the area of nine digits he completely disregard legal and logistical constraints.


I am so Happy that we have Good Pope Francis to stand up to the greedy interests and ignorant leaders who believe the only reason this planet exists is for them to make a quick $ by exploiting its resources.


Especially since the Republicans handle the budget, right?


Not sure how this guy plans on remedying Alaska's financial problems.........


I didn't see where anyone said she will be indicted, it was said she's being investagated and that's a fact


It's all about trade secrets!  Sort of like a new CEO telling the new CEO all they need to know..  I think it's a great opportunity ..


Well, I misread the letter but you fortunately went with my shift to non-government groups even though Steve was writing about the government!


Yes... Hillary and company are winning the Gender War that is raging in the US election... and Trump is getting bashed from all sides.  He has two Gender War cards left in his arsenal of smut:

1. Hillary is a lesbian and will not be accepted as Commander-in-Chief

2. Hillary has cuckolded Bill and is a fraud..!

... and both cards are being tossed around in Trump's circle of supporters... quite sad but politics is a dirty nasty game... wonder how that will go over ....lol


1. Lead teachers to lowering the bar? Consistency? Is that what OCISS's true purpose is?
2. I mean where the bus companies were colluding under the noses of the DOE, yes. "Saving the state millions."
3. If DAGS is the joke, then the DOE is the punchline. Have you seen the condition of most schools?
4. Who's hiring and screening all those teachers with inappropriate behaviors? Isn't it DOE Personnel?
5. (Not 6) The AG is the state's legal department. What kind of "in-house DOE assistance" might you be citing? Does the DOE hire its own lawyers?
6. Is OHR "cleaning up the mess" that OHR let grow for decades?
.
The DOE has too many middle managers (EOs) and they grow their own work to justify their existence. DOE is the second biggest expenditure of tax dollars, and spends over $16,000 per pupil each year. We are not getting our money's worth.
.
The DOE needs a full and comprehensive external AUDIT of its central operations.


I think we offer stipends because the priest will be there when we can't. We pay inflated prices for candles and Mass as a form of sacrifice. The Eucharist is free because we cannot add to the sacrifice of Christ, but someone has to buy the bread and keep the lights on. I had a Mass said for my father on the first anniversary of his death. There was a transcription error, so Justine Bindner, whomever she was, had a Mass said in her name. Who knows, maybe my father had an absorbed twin.


luvable is the st vinny's of the dog world.  both my pups are from rescues from luvable and it still amazes me that these 2 genius dogs were set to be euthanized. luvable has a link for donations.  hint hint.

I'm with Michael Albertson, keep up the good work Senator Wielechowski.


Trumps whole agenda is just to undo anything Obama. He cares little about proper policy, whats good for his country or any individual group. What he cares about is undoing anything Obama because Obama has made him look really stupid, but then again that wasn't all that difficult when you are dealing with a narcissistic idiot in the first place.

The Trump presidency will laughed at for generations and he has nobody but himself to blame. Remember, he picked the finest team ... nobody picks one better. Just look at his picks now eh Mr. Sessions and others


I'll bet he mentions fish camp in his speech

Sorry my bad.  O'Leary throwing his hat in the ring is critically important news.  Worthy of hyper-focused left wing attention....and nothing else.

Exciting stuff, tell me, did he tweet about the colour of his tie?

Did he tweet his latest thoughts on skim vs. 1% milk?

What, he can't speak french...uh-oh, does he like expensive orange juice?

Rivoting...


No questions about Russia, of course not, most Americans don't care and the Dems really don't care and they want it to go away because the Dems know the real truth of Dem collusion will come out with the Special Consul's report.

All of the commentary on this seems to ignore the viewpoints of the voters themselves, most of whom simply want to see more jobs back in Alberta.

You could easily have urban ridings go PC and rural ridings go Wildrose, giving them a combined majority in the legislature and forcing them to work together (or face another term of NDP government).

Wouldn't that serve both parties right.


I disagree with the author. when it's 16 below out like it was this morning, I am going to warm my car a little bit. let things warm up just a bit


From Factcheck:  It’s true that Obama raised a record amount of money from Wall Street for his 2008 presidential campaign, as the ad says. But Obama has had a rocky relationship with Wall Street executives since taking office — especially since signing legislation in the summer of 2010 that imposed tougher regulations on the industry.

And, there are some regulations which should be scaled back!  From US News:  "My feeling is that President Obama came into a terribly difficult situation. He did pretty darn well in the first two years. We had an economy on life support," Peter Morici, an economist and professor at the University of Maryland, said during an interview on C-SPAN earlier this month. "He got it up and rolling. But over time, a lot of the things that he did started to build up and create impediments to growth. This has been the slowest recovery since the depression."


More money for contraception in Africa? A look at the population growth charts shows that of the 30 countries with the fastest growth 23 of them are in Africa - 3-4% annually for each one of them. If the intent of this money, and the hundreds of millions handed over in past years, was to control the birth rate then it's not working out very well. Where is this money really going?


The law does NOT require "Free" charging station but "A" charging station.
Many places have started a pay as you go collection system for charging station.
We had a leaf for 3 years. charged it at home overnight. Never had a problem. Now we are registering another electric car with greater range expect that we won't have any problems.
I do not believe, other drivers than I so cannot state for certain, that we have ever used a "public" charging station.
Same thing as people who run out of gas. Bad planning, wishful thinking.
As for socialism you are right it is time to get those socialistic oil and gas companies of the government welfare rolls.
Erase subsidies, erase tax breaks, make them pay taxes etc just like everyone else.


There's been a mosque in Greeley for years. No signage, no hint of anything on an ugly commercial building on 8th Av, no trouble, either.

Pleasantly surprised the Council found a backbone last night.


I'm curious, is Colbert leasing from you directly or is that a sublet type arrangement?


Yes, let's definitely speak some truth about Faye Stewart's career.  There are negatives which should be remembered.


"Institutional racism" is a conspiracy theory propped up with correlation-causation fallacy and "white privilege" is a junk concept based off a bad essay written in the late 1980s by a Berkeley radical. Can you name the essay without Googling? Have you actually read it?

It was Rachel Maddow who, on the night of the election said Hillary would win by a landslide. I assume you trust anything that Ms. Maddow says, right?


Ugh.  I am a fan of the CBC for the most part, but the talking points in this article show how out of touch they are becoming.  No wonder the knives come out every time they are mentioned.

I do not understand how quality can be promoted through the establishment of arbitrary gender targets or aggressive funding of "underrepresented" filmmakers.  Either these people have the talent to create a piece that resonates or they don't.  Funding should go to those that do.

The Vice media party sounded equally odious, but for different reasons.  The hipster doofus mentality appeals to only a small fraction of the population, and the prevailing tastes of that sliver of population change the way an amoeba changes shape; i.e., by the minute.  Glomming on to the flavour of the day is a futile exercise that should only be attempted by club kids and edgy bands.


Throughout the 50s and most of the 60s, and for most of the period I can remember before that, the Church was a fairly monolithic institution with a fairly unified Mystical Body of Christ.  You may not have liked what they believed, but that's another question.  Then came the Reformers and the outright revolutionists.  When that occurs --- when a reforming or revolutionizing force sets out to change the status quo, monolithic institution -- who is sowing division?  You may even be RIGHT to seek fundamental change, but in doing so --- and especially in the WAY it's done --- it can hardly be said that the static Church seeks "division" by trying to preserve its existence in the face of efforts to fundamentally change it. Those who seek "reform" or "fundamental change" are the ones seeking to divide.  Indeed, not merely divide, but marginalize.  And that's what we have now.


I do spare a thought for first responders but not because they have to miss Christmas. Wish I could join them.

"I have a big problem with the demonization of so-called 'elites,'" So...quick question: Does that extend to the demonization of clergy and bishops? Because they get regularly condemned on this site for beings "theological elites." Just a thought


And...it was a sweet deal for the State, since the Army wasn't compensated.  They just chalked it up to training and public service.


Tie executive compensation to a multiple of the lowest-paid employee. This fix is easy, obvious, common sense, and therefore of course will never be implemented.


Given that two of the crimes against aboriginal women Elizabeth mentions were committed by police, maybe the inquiry should start with them and their relations with aboriginal people.


but the democrats are in charge and they say they care about us so this can't be true - can it?

decades of power and nothing to show for it except scandals, backstabbing, higher taxes and a welcome mat for illegals to come on in.


I wonder if the liberals and the liberal media have any idea how massively their democratic candidates are going to get SHELLACKED in the 2018 midterms and again in 2020 when President Trump is easily re-elected in a LANDSLIDE!

The liberal moonbats on the coasts are very much enjoying the vileness as the liberal media continues to try to destroy President Trump using any method they possibly can, including a Russian collusion fairy tale and now trying to paint him as a KKK racist.

But the Americans that voted for Trump in 2016 aren't quite as amused as the liberal moonbats are.  We are taking notes. The payback in 2018 and again in 2020 is going to be SO sweet - as we once again get to witness sobbing liberals with green snot-bubbles coming out of their nose from crying so hard about "stolen elections"!

RESIST the liberal media!  Vote for Trump/Pence 2020!


Nobody believes Jeff Sessions is guilty colluding with the Russians.What  we are witnessing is a desperate Democratic party trying to tar and feather the Trump administration .They have nothing else going on, no policy,no ideas, no substantive solutions. All  they have is a bunch of mud that  isn't going to stick and  looming  mid terms in Republican strong holds.
The moral outrage is laughable, this story also included a  debunked CNN fake news story that  included hooker urinating on Donald Trumps  bed at the Ritz Carlton  Moscow.
The fact is America has a shadow government leaking information , the crime isn't that Jeff Session met with an ambassador when he was a United States Senator its the flood of leaks coming out of the White House from Obama hold overs.
The swap cant be drained fast enough.


Military Lawyers, yeah that says it all. People that clearly become rattled when not working in an office. Bergdahl should be hung or shot by firing squad period. He deserted his post, his unit and got men killed in the face of the enemy. PERIOD end of story, he admitted to it. No one who has served oversees gives a rip about why he did it , he got men killed and needs to face the music for that.


Sorry Dan and Lisa, despite your desire to abort, you are required to carry this candidate to term. Trump is the baby you Republicans have made, and you should have kept your knees together if you didn't want to be responsible for your behavior.


SB only woks if there are corresponding increases in treatment and different philosophy in regards to community supervision. I agree reform  is frustrating , but it is necessary. We simply have not the dollars to keep doing what we have been doing. Big money for poor results doesn't work anymore for Corrections than it does for education. I also have to agree with Mr. Wolforth about too many Valley voters who elect these folks who promise them something for nothing. Sad to watch.


The neighborhood they moved to is Jefferson Westside and it really is the best neighborhood in town these days!


I would absolutely love to see the media explain why they cover these catty lawsuits regarding the immigration suspension and why not one of them are covering the lawsuits against the DNC for its corruption and rigging in the primaries.


I'm not an "Unlimited" subscriber but I'm intrigued by the headline about Wilbur Ross being pushed out of the way by the American NAFTA chief negotiator. I can find no reference to this anywhere else! For all Trump's posturing on NAFTA, the real work will be done by the professional negotiators for the parties and they will only accept general guidelines from the politicians, not micro-managing and political interference. That is why Trudeau is only making general remarks and not ludicrous claims as Trump does.


both countries are the biggest trade partners with a near equal export/import difference....regardless of leaders, the economy will dictate the outcomes..


Terrorism must be fought, yes. But National aggression against neighbours must also be stopped. This is a lesson of world war II. And make no mistake about it. Russia has been an aggressor.


Ron
Well stated. You might Google The Spirit Level. Made this Libertarian think. Rather than economic, their model is living conditions.


Or you could simply follow the constitution and save that $75,000 on governing.


Give it up already.  There is nothing that any government can do to reverse what has happened, short of an armed, socialist revolution.

Over the centuries, people have come in their millions to escape the limiting strictures of the economic class system in Europe.  Welcome to deju vu all over again.

With AI, robotics and automation advancing at breathtaking speed, the economic plight of those at the bottom of the pecking order can only worsen.


You see Brian, you are making assumptions about me and decided to paint me into something you can compute.  You know nothing about me, so it's interesting that you can group me. The thing is, I've agreed with some Wente columns and I've agreed with some Renzetti columns. Can you say the same thing?


Let the story of Zuma be a lesson to black people who vote for the ANC beacause it's the party that looks like them, next time I hope they would've learned to listen when we warn them not to vote for a criminal - 783 corruption charges - and a rapist.

Do visit your earlier statement about being racist or not. Gather your thoughts and probably rephrase your point. I think you could do better than this. find this.


It is evident now that mass immigration is serving to save incomes of  ruling class not improve economy nor increase living standards of people not belonging to "elites".


YES!  End Obamacare and dry up the already-shrinking government black holes that are "ACA exchanges."  A free and open insurance market and open, transparent pricing of medical services is all we need to fix our costs of medical care.  Doctors charge ONE price for every service, and customers compete for the lowest price.  Insurance companies charge ONE price- free of government strangulation and  regulation - and customers shop for the lowest price and best coverage.
.
Free markets, free of bloated government spending, free pricing structures, and free from government lies and corruption.  THAT is how we solve America's health cost crisis.


Bring this activist court to heel.

Our Constitution doesn't need a re-write.


So how come pollution got so bad here?

Market failure or dumb customers?


You can't win an argument with a Flat Earther, folks. If I hold a mirror up to your face, you will see that your head is round, with peaks and valleys and curves and depth. The Flat Earther, however, will examine the mirror, show you that it's flat, and then proceed to tell you that the roundness of their head is a hoax and you should never believe what mirrors tell you. Their capability to deny what they see with their own eyes exempts them from all scientific, logic-based explanations. Just give them their billboard (and tax exempt status) and they'll be on their way.


It amazes me that some posters who have, in the past, supported officers shooting young black me who have no weapon and are running away from them now attack the State Police for shooting Finicum who was armed, refused their orders to get down on the ground and reached toward his pistol.  Your post is a very civil invitation for Outsider to explain the logic of such actions.  Well played, Sir.  regards, Gary


A lot of us don't sing. We stand with respect. In Hawaii, people are kinda shy and don't want to sing if they sing junk. Thats respect! Mr. Hatakeyama has the right spirit and heart. We need a lot more like him.

Obamacare is 100% owned by Democrats.  If you're a Democrat then you need to claim your share.


The winner receives $6,000.00.   You can not hardly get out of town on that amount.  A quality food cart costs $10,000.00.


Very important!   In what  way?


Regarding your edit, (isn't that 7 min. bit annoying?), Judy Curry most certainly does not dispute AGW theory.


how about going after the mega rich, justin trudeau - and large, mn corporations.
go for the big bucks.


In the guise as the head of an agency he's supposedly leading, Pruitt is actually a proxy for the oil interests of his home state and elsewhere he so ably served as Oklahoma's Attorney General. It's then natural he'd be concerned about the confidentiality of his communications serving his mythical, debased and damaging agenda.


This is almost a form of a Ponzi scheme....

You might have a bit more credibility if you refrained from using absurd terms like Ponzi.  I am sure there must be some kind of financial Godwin's Law equivalent when the Ponzi card is played.

A company that issue shares in lieu of cash payments to a shareholder is able to retain that cash to reinvest in the company.  Resulting in the ability to fund capital inputs leading to further cash flow growth.  Clearly it is up to the shareholder to decide if they feel the company is deploying their capital in the most efficient manner.

Alternatively they could go directly to the market, or a banking syndicate to fund those needs incurring significant costs in the process.


What an amazing competitor she is! Keep on truckin, Allie!


Does anyone really care about the name-calling the democrats use to describe a conservative?  Except of course the left wing media and others trapped in the same smelly bubble.....


Isn't amazing how someone gets so rich working as a public servant???

The money isn't coming from her constituents !

You no where it's coming from!! Big corporations!
Wouldn't you love to see her net worth progress every year since her Daddy gave her the job?
Since congress will never vote on term limits, lets do it for them! "VOTE HER OUT"


It's Saturday and all sorts of like problems on the Peninsula!


Behold the neo-facists are out in the open now, giving free voice in North America to their holy trinity -- state power, nationalism, militarism -- expressed relentlessly by their prophet, Trump.
Firmly in place in France, UK, Italy, Hungary and Greece, evidence that the movement has now gained a toe-hold in 'socialist" Canada is best found in the comments posted in The Globe, Canada's "national newspaper."


Sorry, I realize now you interjected your comment in a thread between Burnt Norton and myself, in which he had called election predictions 'fake news.'

Although why you felt the need to repeat your comment about fake news using Alex Jones Infowars youtube, beats me.  I've already laughed about that one.


My recycled pop bottle fleece vests work better than the quilted down vest I inherited from my father. Dry off faster when I come in from the Wet / Left Coast weather, or from getting sweaty doing yard work.


big test this week , their playoff hopes are in their own control now.


Home ownership costs are high only if you are entering the market today.

However, most Canadians are NOT entering the market today, they either own their own home already, or they rent (note that Ontario has 1.8% rent controls, similar in other provinces), or they have a low mortgage because they purchased a home several years ago.

You can bellyache that the price of homes is too high, and I won't disagree with you, but for the BoC to include a high home price in a CPI calculation, to account for the tiny percentage of the population buying a home this year (and an even smaller percentage, when you consider high prices are happening only in Toronto and Vancouver), seems to ignore the fact that a large percentage of the Canadian population is not as affected by this increase... especially renters (1.8%), and those that already own their own home.


Would it change anyone's opinion about the seriousness of the problem, if someone hacked into the control stations of Canada's electric power grid and overloaded the major transformers so that they burn out?  How would it be to live without electricity for a couple of years?  (The time it takes to manufacture and install replacement major transfomer equipment.  Most electric utilities in Canada only have a few pieces of reserve equipment for limited emergency situations).  Or how about if hackers shut down electronic banking and electronic funds transfer?  Maybe use bicycle couriers to transfer little pieces of paper between financial institutions, for example: I.O.U.  fify million dollars today ?


You mean the leader of the majority winning party?


Actually Ukraine lost more civilians in the Second World War than Russia. But you wouldn't understand that, since you obviously believe the war started only in June 1941 - it actually began in September 1939 when Uncle Joe Stalin and Adolf were allies, and dismembered not only Poland but sustained each other as France and the Low Countries were over-run and the Battle of Britain joined - not to mention that the gates of Auschwitz also opened up during the Nazi-Soviet dalliance. You Russians paid for your slavish servitude under Stalin. You are going to pay for playing Putin's game - you are already well beyond the pale of civilized Europe.


Why would the opposition party share its data with a spokesman for the Democrats?  Conduct your own poll and publish the results.
.
Anyway when given stats you seem unable to understand their meaning. "... 67% went into government or public interest law."   67% John.  Where did you get 76%?
.
Forgetting that gross error for the moment, public interest law is defined by UH as Native Rights Advocates and Public Defenders, both funded by the Government or OHA.  Now you can tell me that the public defenders office and OHA aren't political.
.
You're right about one thing you don't get a law degree from UH expecting you''ll be a partner at a law firm.  You get it to go into local politics.
.
Finally if your so wired into AG Chin tell him to publish a statement saying that he will not run for Governor.   Don't hold your breath waiting for a response.


Yes, standing up and speaking one's mind is the essence of democracy, which we are doing.  Trump and the GOP want to hear only those who revere them.


It does not fit the narrative.  Quick run and hide.


and they have not found shred of evidence to that effect. the collusion theory has run out of steam.


"… want to turn..."? Mr. Pilot, it has happened, and for over at least a 2 year period. It is high time we retake that square and indeed the entire downtown area. How about large groups of peaceful citizens with cameras that stand near these folks and record them? The groups could work in shifts. Openly film them. Don't interact, mind you, just film and observe. Do this for a week or two and I think, if the groups are large enough and persistent enough, that the light of observation will remove the blight.


The only "we" is us as individuals, and we get no say in how our money is spent. There is a good reason why the private sector works. "We" are deciding what we want and are paying for it.


In an earlier trial, the case was thrown out because the Chief introduced unsolicited comments damaging to the uncle of his wife .  After the case was thrown out, the uncle claimed he was framed by the Kealohas with the help of a select number of HPD officers. Complicit/conspiracy?


in addition to training not every available job is in the same location as the potential worker and people are less mobile.  Not everyone wants to uproot themselves and their family, particularly if one spouse has a decent job and the other is looking for work.  It is not as simple as we like to believe.


Part 2
In the earliest large public liturgies, Roman and Byzantine, the ambo/pulpit was an elevated structure right in the middle of the nave. There were no pews, so the faithful were free to move around, and for the readings, they moved towards and stood around this ambo. This arrangement may have been adopted directly from the synagogue. Given that there were no sound system, and basilicas (the type of Roman building used) were cavernous, this arrangement was culturally perfect for proclaiming and explaining a sacred text to a captive audience.

Transposed to our culture, we use a sound system and we read from the front of an auditorium facing the education targets; and we proclaim the scripture in their native language whenever possible.

If you are familiar with the full Missa Solemnis, Jay, you will see an interesting moment in the organic development unique to the Roman rite. The Epistle is read from one side, and the gospel from the other; and both are read FACING the people.


Because people are uninformed and have no clue about laws....then hide behind an anonymous online account to make threats.


The Wagons are beginning to circle , it does appear that there is something there , there
No leaks with the Mueller Team , that's a good sign of professionalism, I'm just hoping for a fair , thorough, impartial investigation that leaves no unanswered questions , the American Public deserves No Less than this


The issue here is not that the writer expresses personal views; the issue is that she hasn't provided a review.


It's immaterial if his purchase is technically legal or not, what counts is he was able to walk right into a store and walk out with guns.

What this points out is the process isn't as rigorous as it should be, and buyers aren't really thoroughly vetted enough to eliminate these kinds of mistakes.

It demonstrates that the process of purchasing guns should be better managed and more tightly controlled.


The legislature does whatever she wants though.

One day the legislature actually discussed reducing tax credits.

Kara Moriarty scolded the legislature and called it a "flagrant money grab!"

So they dropped it.

Alaskans have all been complaining to them about violating the Consitution, giving away our resources for free, paying the oil companies from our savings to take it...but the legislature couldn't care less.

I think she might be offering special favors that the rest of us are unwilling to perform.


I sometimes wonder if there are any in Washington, especially democrats, or in the libtard media that understands or even wants to understand what exactly President Trump did. I suspect this inane pandering to the sheeple and illegals is pure political pontification. Trump, in his astonishing wisdom, merely rectified an illegal power grab by Obama by sending the DACA decision to congress, where it belongs.


The BC Liberals became so corrupt it is hard to imagine how they will rise above it. Extremism in leadership  has no place in a democracy. The BC Libs have courted the extreme while ignoring the common good. Worse yet, they would not follow the laws and developed a punitive and retaliative backlash to any challenge. Or else they simply ignored the issues and thumbed their noses at the public. Christy Clark acted like she was completely invincible regardless of her childish and outrageous conduct. The Libs did not care what the people thought or how tainted  their image had become. They demonstrated repeated conflict of interest. They abused power in every Ministry. They ignored the weak, vulnerable and marginalized. They governed without conscious and without a soul. They framed us into extremism. As far as their outlook for BC, what a shame - they trashed the picture and kept the frame.


Would stripping the bishops of their civil status as corporations sole make it easier to hold them accountable, or more difficult?


I'm one of those Obama-Trump voters. If anyone cared to ask why, I can tell you that it had nothing to do with race. I voted for Obama (both terms) because I thought that he could turn things around in the U.S. I disliked and mistrusted Hillary,  the democratic party and self-serving politicians in general, so stop generalizing and talking about something you know nothing about, except what you read in the G&M.


Wonderful article. I had the life changing experience of living in McGrath and learning from natives how to hunt, gather berries and wood, and what it meansto live in a community. I was able to hunt my first moose there and share the bounty. I kept one quarter, a young couple with a child got half, and another young man got the last quarter. An elder also came to the kill site to gether favorite parts including the tongue, liver, caul fat, kidneys and everything else she was able to use. Hunting is part of rural life that many who have not lived there will not understand.
Your story was beautifully written and brought me back to 2010 when McGrath was my home.


Tricked you.


We don't direct money to transit...the politicians do.
And you can count on them squandering the money...


There we go. Civilly sharing our opinions. I'm not alarmed at anything involving altered data. This is what I think of as "ominous":

I don't personally wish this guy any harm....and I do hope he rests in peace....but I think, given his behavior at a critical point in our national AND international catholic religious history...that noting it is my choice, as a counterpoint to this CNS piece....


While I support much of the Green ideology, voting Green in the past election was a mistake which served to split the left.

Regardless of whom the Greens support, the government will fall before the next scheduled election.  At that time, people that voted Green will be forced to abandon their support and vote for a government, rather than a dream.


The most that this article evidences is the possibility of meaningful information through convenient and opportunistic investigation, and in return, having to manage a slick, foreign connected opportunist.  There IS NOTHING more to the article.  The mention of the possibility that information could be had as evidence of Russia funding the DNC is the only compelling substance of this article.


Pathetic idiot. Yup should have spent more time behind bars. And larger fine. You need to make a statement about what the penalty is for vandalizing. There goes the idea of making Waikiki great again. As I've said our judicial system sucks.


Tax grab. But a good tax grab.


I see where you got your numbers from.

The welfare number of $26000/yr is for a family of 4 (a couple and 2 children).  That is approximately $6500 per person.

Using your reference for a family of six, that would equate to approximately $39000/yr.  Unless you're a genius with finances who is extremely thrifty, it'll be very difficult to live on $39000/yr to support 6 people.  That family that was profiled is 1 mom with 3 daughters and 2 sons.  2 of her daughters have a disability requiring wheelchairs.

If you were in the same circumstances as that family, would you be able to support your family on $39000/yr?


Move the capital to Anchorage? After finding out what a capital move would cost (billions of dollars in the early 1980s), voters said no. How much more expensive would it be this many decades later?

Dropping a massive chunk of the Permanent Fund on a capital move and economically devastating an entire region of our state is not smart business, no matter how you pitch it.


you need help,  should get it soon


Knowing what Chuck Totto had to endure from the City administration, It would be surprising if any competent person applied for the job of Executive Director of the Honolulu Ethics Commission.  Maybe that's what Caldwell was planning on.


She is not responsible...... she is there as the new CEO with, I assume, knowledge of the KPMG business (having been with them as a Management Consultant), and with a new Board out things to right. There is no reason she will not succeed providing transparency and disclosure.

The previous Board members were forced out and paid off the minimum legally to get them to leave asap. There are separate Laws here... employment, Labour etc. Should any of them be found to have been specifically corrupt they will hopefully be punished as Criminals.... some may well be banned to practice as CA's.... many of those who left were not incidentally CA's.... some may be purely negligent as Board Members by not heeding the warnings out there about the Gupta businesses and doing nothing!


NO.

The Swiss and Swedes have studied it, and a growing population is not needed to maintain a prosperous society.

And Japan is leading the way with a declining population with everything from robots, to experimental living arrangements.

So no, you do not need an ever expanding population to keep a country prosperous.


That was one of the worst-pitched big games I've seen in a long time. But I have to admit, I did enjoy seeing Werth and Harper, two of my least favorite guys in baseball, strike out to end the Nats season.


Progressives also believe that the 17 agencies talking point was done for impact sounds a lot better than 3/4 ! More impact makes it seem more real ! And please note the three agencies being reported they all didn't say "highly confident. " as reported by politifact & the rest of msm the most important agency to investigate cyber security NSA said the were "moderately  confident " . The odd thing about this whole thing is in showing any confidence in a report given to them by a private security firm hired by dnc to investigate the server . The report they handed in was full of holes and our intel took it w/o question and w/o being able to check out the server themselves,  ! I call bull💩!


Kearon.  There is no national conspiracy between unions and greenies. Because they both are mostly Democrats, doesn't make it a conspiracy.

I'm not pro Keystone or coal fired plants.  Just think you are totally ignoring the issue of global warming and the urgency to do something about it. Give the "environmentalist" label a break. That is a 70's term.  The greening of America is now mainstream and is fighting against corporate greed and pollution (of all kinds). The vast majority of Americans don't agree with your earthly science.


You have no problem when Pope Francis uses the church to promote fighting climate change and allowing illegal immigration. However, when Pope Francis speaks out against birth control and abortion, THAT'S when your separation of church and state kicks in.


We agree yet again.  I'm going to bed.  You're evening has just begun..... Enjoy.  :-)


Was this written by CNN?


Fired? Huh?


It's interesting to read some actual facts - which is the fundamental flaw of the TRC.  There is no frame of reference.  For example, we hear about the estimated 6,000 children dying out of 150,000 over roughly one hundred years.  But there is no reference to childhood deaths among children on reserves as a comparison.  We know tuberculosis and influenza were responsible for a good number of deaths in the early part of the last century across Canada but the media is drawn to the dramatic with the CBC tells us that the death rate in residential schools was higher than soldiers in the Great War.

I think ordinary Canadians (not settlers) are tired of the endless victim routine and demands for cash.  I know I am.


"The dirty boomers tried to pull up the ladder behind themselves like they always do.  But this time the other generations voted to stop their selfishness.  Now Morneau's cuck council are trying to defy the will of voters.  It's disgusting."

Very very well put!


"maximum benefit of the people" doesn't just mean individual dividends. Collective dividends are needed to fund a good standard of living. When the state of Alaska was being formed the federal government knew that with it's size and population base Alaskan's would not be able fund a workable level of government, and they(the feds) didn't want to be on the hook for it. The common ownership of resources was absolutely meant to fund government, that was key to the statehood pact. The PF came later as one of those resources paid off big time. Again, the PF was absolutely created to fund government down the road since the resource is non-renewable. The PFD was added to protect the PF from over jealous politicians. The PFD is not a "free-money giveaway", it's a shareholder (Alaska resident) dividend. Like any company in financial trouble Alaska must look to various ways to get out of trouble. Cuts to dividends, cuts to spending, other sources of revenue, and ....? Damn, out of characters!!


What do you "Think" I don't know ? Here are the facts

1. The guy had "PTSD" and a head injury and a history of mental instability
2. He was drunk, on drugs and shooting guns
3. the police were called
4. He brandished a weapon in front of or at  police
5. The police acting in self defense shot him

The rest of this story is fluff and ignores the facts of the case. And I noticed you have NEVER answered the question about who gains in this ? Mr. Babb ? The supposed grieving family stands to make 7.5 mil, this is not going to bring the deceased Mr. Babb back to life. Do us all a favor, stop assuming you know so much about people's inner workings, you don't know what was going on in the mind of Babb either, so give it a rest.


But it is not so cut-and-dried for those intimately involved in such situations.  The agony they are going through is all about not letting go of their baby son until all possibilities have been exhausted, and that also allows them time to privately prepare for what they realize at some level is the final outcome.  They are entitled to that, and if we find ourselves impatient with them, it is because of our own lack of the ability to tolerate the extreme tension and anxiety so clear in this and similar cases.  Better we should pray for them, and to be granted the grace of compassion and faith in the God who has created us all.


Who is paying for this? Where does nature come back into the picture for this animal. This money could have gone to reduce our debt.   The Sealife center was just a government spend prodect without any value. What a waste of money.  This country is 20T$ in debt.  We are going to have to lose one sea lion to save the country in the long run.


2.
d) that the reality of mankind- in the belief that we are in the (pale as it is) image of God - that humanity it self and in relationship is as valid a source for God's meaning and teaching as is what we know in our Book(s) (the ordinary person, the Peter, is the rock upon which church, whatever that is, is built).
e) that our mission is to meet in sacred space, in communities of good will, intelligence, discernment, in respect of our body of tradition, to re-search what a, b, and c mean and to evolve a renewal of Christ in community in creation.
"Magisterium" and "hierarchy" are to be guide, mentor, consolidator, recorder, consensus finder, enabler.


Yes, close that puppy down at 10 pm. Every night. And thank you for that. Methinks your business caters more towards those working in or with the Nesbitt court house area. Best of luck to ya.


ebony:  Ya, I agree with you that there is more to this story.   Like you say, that area was combed by rescue personnel at the beginning of the search.  I have been out on search and rescue missions and personnel do not just walk around looking, they also CALL out the lost persons name every 30-50 feet.   I still smell Skunk perfume in the air.............


If McGuinty and Wynne had done absolutely nothing while in power, passing not a single law or spending nothing, that would've been much, much better.  See if a monkey was in charge, the performance of the province would've been better.


"I don’t ingest THC ...  only ... CBD’s that are not psychoactive ... and I don’t brag about it ..."

I stand corrected.

On Googling "CBD", I'm presented with a choice between "Christian Book Distributors" and "Cannibidiol".  I'm going to assume you mean the latter.  ;-)

"Sorry you’re having to eat addictive painkillers for relief."  No issues here like that (haven't heard of anyone addicted to aspirin) - but thank you for your concern.


A start but what about the .9%  Medicare Hospital insurance tax increase? Affects the same affluent taxpayers.


They opened up the Yukon River Quest to SUP's this year. 11 entered and 9 finished the nearly 500 mile race from Whitehorse to Dawson City. They guys sound ready.


"Meteorologist and physicist Piers Corbyn, brother of UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, claims the world is cooling. He states outright that “there is no such thing as manmade climate change“. He also states that “the truth is the IPCC of the UN is a political not a scientific body, and it even amends scientific documents before publication to conform to diplomatic niceties.” The scientists are politically appointed to the IPCC. Corbyn explains that “science” as we think of it gets so entrenched in its current thinking that it’s often difficult for new theories or more accurate explanations to break through the status quo."

As for having you fooled, you didn't need my help.  As for having has these levels of CO2 and much higher before man could have caused it, an honest man would wonder how that happened, and why it isn't the same causes now as then.

Where's Bulaia?!  It was a long time ago but we need new people to come in and stir the pot.  I'd consider even the younger guys there like Schitz as jaded by the old generation Dems mentality.


Trump held a trick or treat session at the White House today.

"Sarah Huckabee Sanders brought in a box of White House-branded Hershey’s Kisses.

Trump turned to the closest kid and said: 'You have no weight problems, that’s the good news, right?'

(…Trump fat shames his own press secretary right in front of her.)

           Later, Trump went to Mueller's house and said Trick or Treat.

Mueller filed an indictment.


Sadly I believe the majority of the bill for these privileged stay at home idiots to be marching is footed by demasculinized husbands, boyfriends & fathers on their day off work & probably cooked their own breakfast, took care of the kids, chopped the wood & were forced to masturbate if they were lucky enough to borrow their balls from the safe.


Great comedy commentary from the entitled & coddled.


J:  Well then by all means that is exactly what the Dem's should do.   All will be well now.


All popes from St Peter down were infallible, Vatican I simply confirmed this fact.


Poor choice of words on my part but my reply was to Arlen who made the original reference to Cal as she stated "He’s pushes his christianity in his articles all the time".


He's busy campaigning for Hillary in Chapel Hill today. Lying about how Trump is planning to cut off Medicaid, cut Pell Grants and bulldoze Michelle's garden.


This is just about what the average attendance will be after the first year.  I wish the expenditure could translate into something other than warm feelings for the university.  I would prefer to have seen the same amount invested in the veterinary school for which the university is known.


Yeah, well thought-out critique. Thanks.


The devil is in the details- and we shall see, but if we can manage to get a budget that works for 95% of Oregonians -as opposed to the top 5% (many of whom we know siphon their monies out of state at our expense) -that would be an accomplishment.


If you don't think there is drinkable fresh water in Alaska....if you don't think people living off the grid are finding healthy water to drink... I don't know what to say... except maybe you have  been programed by our Government to the point that you can not reason anymore....or maybe you just don't get out much.


Oh, please. Haven't you got anything better to do than come on here and spout ignorance about a great American. You don't know anything about him, so stop pretending you do. You just have nothing better to do than troll this comment section.


I think there should be basic regulation.  I am not against people owning guns.  After all around 50% of gun deaths are suicides.  But I do think basic requirements should be met such as not being crazy.  I also feel that people should show proof of insurance just as when they buy a car.  You have to do this when buying a car, why not a gun?  Also when someone buys a lot of gun, he should be mentally evaluated every 3 months.


Thanks Elaine.  You just proved my point.


With rent control and required payments to tenants for no-cause evictions, we will see more rent increases, more for-cause evictions, bigger deposits, and tougher screening by landlords.
Rent control doesn't lower the cost of buying, building, and maintaining rental properties. It does not defray the costs to replace carpets, screens, appliances, vinyl, or fixtures, nor does it reimburse the property owner for paint and cleaning after a tenant trashes the property. That will get passed on to future renters.
Yes, rents go up. So do taxes and all costs associated with buying, owning, and maintaining property.


Another misleading head line brought to you by the RG tabloid.


Great article Diane; thanks! -Linda Willow

I wonder if mental illness plays a role in this.  Mental illness is already stigmatized in Anglo-Canadian culture, and is even BIGGER for Chinese - especially immigrants who aren't fluent in English. :(


Yeah...Rona was so much more transparent about her trip that it only came to light now!  Interesting "openness".   Wonder if her billionaire was also an old family friend whom she has known since she was a child?


Seems light to me.


I can choose where I get treated now.


The problem with this new Conservative Party is that they're zealots. They have a messianic belief that their ideology has been handed to them from Mt Sinai's top. They consider all other parties to be infidels and agents of Satan.

Opposition to Harper would not have been so fierce if he'd behaved like an ordinary politician. What upset people was the gargantuan Omnibus Bills, the gutting of Stats Canada, the gagging of government scientists, and the repeated use of cloture to end debate.

This "We are Right and You are Wrong" attitude won him enemies where he had none. It wouldn't have been so disasterous an end for him had he been just a little bit statesman like.

And now the party is looking to a buffoon because it wants to harass Trudeau rather than debate him. Because debate would assume that there were two sides. A buffoon on the other hand is a law unto himself.

O'Leary is Trump-lite. He's also the end of the United Right. He'll make Trudeau look polished and experienced


Maybe there was only two citizens there because the rest were working during the week? I know I personally couldn't get home during lunch hour while at work. I live in the neighborhood and it's full of hard working people. Many people here work more than 40 hours a week and don't have time to go to stuff like this.


If Pope Francis can meet with representatives of the Lutherans and the Muslims, he can meet with Cardinal Burke and the other cardinals.

family reunification?
which groups are asking for that? aside from free day care for those families, how does importing parents and grandparents solve the "aging population" problem?


Lindemuth already found the way to reduce prosecutions and incarcerations. Instead of court just make them political cases like in Fairbanks. Why bother with a court of appeals that deal in fact and evidence and conclusions of law, or the Supreme Court for the same reasons. We have seen how  loud rabble can intimidate in a criminal case and get it removed from court and other politicians refuse to allow the retrial. See how that saves cost for trials, expensive  well trained judges and incarceration. Just let the rabble and politicians decide the criminal cases. See problem solved.


There is  more evidence Obama hacked Trump than evidence Russia Hacked the election, the FISA warrant for starters...


King Theater on King Street; Princess Theater on Fort Street; Liberty Theater on Nuuanu Avenue; Roosevelt Theater on Maunakea Street; Golden Wall Theater on School Street. These are the downtown Honolulu theaters I remember from the 50's, and they all had beautiful interiors, especially Princess Theater. Toyo Theater was beautiful too, with a big archway fronting it on River Street. I went there with friends to watch Japanese language films.  Kewalo Theater, Kaimuki Theater, Cinerama Theater, and all the Waikiki Theaters -- it was a wonderful time to watch movies on the big screen.


Bonus point： They have no kids.


The elitist are academics , they have shown nothing but contempt for the masses and the fall out is theirs to burden.

In other words the math curriculum isn't teaching math or arithmetic.


Your claim is that a person that makes a donation should do whatever they want with it. I claim the opposite. If a person wants to do whatever they want they should not make a tax-deductible donation, but rather just buy it. We reserve tax-deductions for money going for the greater good, and when it is used instead for thrones, that social contract is broken.


No, just someone who whines about not making enough money and having to possibly pay a tiny percentage and who will fire all her employees because she is so cheap and move to a state and country where she doesn't have to contribute anything. That about cover it for you?


The Navy was here prior to and during WW2.  I don't see a whole lot of difference now.


I see, so since the first 6 programmers were women then there's been a drastic decline over the last 50 years from 100% down to whatever % we're at now... is that what you're saying? How about looking over the last 30 years when computer science became more prominent and the population size of programmers became large enough to make statistical observations. What have the enrollment rates been over the last 10, 20, 30 years? If it's been declining over that period then I think you've got a point worth discussing.


I think Donald Dumb is a perfect leader for you.


We just got forced to give money to a belief system preaching planned parenthood which believes a child is nothing until it breaths air and that homosexuality and promiscuity are fine, even transgendering.  Wake up people!  Belief systems abound and need to be exposed.


G20- "THIS IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!!"


Wikileaks is covered in page three of Trumps new book, "How to Insult Friends and Marginalize People".


Bob Wallace states: "We can power grids 100% - 24/365 with only wind or solar by adding enough storage. A 100% solar/storage or 100% wind/storage would not be the most cost efficient solution, but it is possible."

Right.  "... with enough storage" it's "Possible" With sums equivalent to the GDP of a nation maybe. The amounts of storage required to power a nation's grid sufficiently for anything much beyond a power generator's capacity factor is truly staggering.

The Bob goes on to say "Do realize that nuclear can have only a limited penetration unless we install enough storage to time-shift output from low demand to high demand periods. That's why the world has built most of its pump-up hydro storage. To time-shift nuclear."

What an absolute crock of BS!  Unlike intermittent renewables that only generate electricity nilly-willy, nukes are quite able to ramp up and down with demand. That they do not is a function of economics not technical capability.


Trump loves it ! Why don't you ?


Trump should just get into NASCAR, his mouth breathers would be ecstatic.


Pay anyone enough money and they'll be 'loyal', no matter what they think of you.


Now we're in even worse shape by not making the QB change week ago because it's a short week.  They should have taken the opportunity of the 8 day week going into a Monday night game to give Osweiler the long week of practice and gameplan with the starting unit.  Now we basically have just 5 days before the early Sunday start in Philly.


Why does the legislature want to allocate $10m for a road in Cold Bay when this highway is in drastic need of funding?  Everything from pullouts to more patrols.  Get real legislators.

I have enormous empathy for opioid addicted Canadians, and I wholly support finding a means to help these people.  At the same time, I am extremely jealous of the time, effort and tax dollars being spent on opioid issues when Canada still refuses to provide a Vaccine damage compensation program, OR to investigate and support vaccine damaged individuals and families.  If "We must turn the tide on Canada's Opioid Crisis", we must also wake up to the reality of vaccine damage that happens to Canadian citizens and give them the support and tax dollars they need to cope with (often) life-long disabilities from vaccine injuries.


Orange?


the burden of proof is on the Washington Post to prove their case!  sorry that's the way our system works. Every official in the room denies it and It's nearly impossible for Trump to prove a negative..

so the Washington Post needs to provide the source's name/evidence anything... or this is a non-story.

Where's the beef?!?!  This is most likely another media slur against Donald Trump again.

Again ....still waiting for evidence that Russia colluded with Trump.


Anti-trumpers are marvelously adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. An undeserved sense of entitlement and imaginary moral superiority coupled with blind self assurance  will do that every time.


Lol! Nice comment considering you name! I like it.


and you are the king who decides everything? too funny.


What the subject?  I got lost in the debate on the table.  I thought we were all concerned about the exploitation of our ocean resources.  Other than some being personally offended with talented talkers at the table, I have learned alot.  It's up to me if I agree or not.


"Bill Clinton: "I could have killed" Osama bin Laden"

"The 9/11 Commission Report, released in the aftermath of the attacks, documented the proposed December 1998 strike on Kandahar, noting that the Joint Chiefs of Staff advised the president against launching cruise missiles at bin Laden and his associates. Officials were concerned about residual damage, including the roughly 200 to 300 civilians who could have been killed by such a strike."

"Roughly five months before that strike was aborted, though, the U.S. did launch airstrikes at terrorist bases in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan that officials alleged was helping al Qaeda build chemical weapons. Those attacks were justified as retaliation for the bombings at U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya earlier that month."

No nerve agents were found.

Thanks for the correction on the spelling.  Wonder what the  crux of the matter is to you. I was responding to JJ onmatters pertaining to the article.  You're the one who made it all  about me.  It is true that I am not, as of this  writing, currently spoken for.

Kindly take a number and get in line.


Obama couldn't get your Republican buddies to fund his stimulus package.  Put the blame where it belongs. That includes Bush, who ran this country into the ground, just as Trump will do.  Then run, like all cons do after they screw everything up. Then after the Dems come in to clean up the cons mess, we'll get to listen to you whine and complain that the Dems and lies aren't cleaning fast enough. ESAD.


So every post that disagrees with you is liberal. News flash conservatives don't much care for Chump either.


On the margin; and I don't think I am the only one, if it comes to choosing a product or service and one choice says "Made in the USA" then I will pass and go with the other alternative(s). No one likes to be bullied or pushed around, and that is just Trump's style with Canada and Mexico  and indeed with most of America's allies. The "ugly American" seems to be making a comeback and no one cares.


They obviously pulled out because of the second quarter numbers which showed a loss.  That is right in the article.  They may have projected it would be good but it wasn't.  Pure business decision.  If they had been able to achieve savings in the merger, they would have used them to subsidize the losses.  That is right in the article as well.  Another case of sensational headlines not fitting what is actually in the articles.


Not sure but I believe the use of gender as a grammatical term (e.g.: in German, whether a noun takes a male, female or neuter article - der, die or das IIRC) precedes any other use.  I am not arguing with using it regarding how one feels about one's identity and I prefer it NOT be used as a synonym for sex  (let the squeamish squirm).

No Docs, but we went immediately to the Beartooth upon our return to Anc.


Alie: Other than "The Bruins laid back to much in the third" I agree with you all the way.  Habs actually pushed more than the Bears expected, that late in the game. The Bears wanted to win it more than the Habs, and they did. Tough loss for Habs but they did get a point.


There is no system that makes decisions.  People make decisions.  People made Ms Sorgini's time difficult.  They should be charged for not following previous court decisions and wasting our money based on their personal bias.

I guess she couldn't say what the real cause of her not getting elected was.  A lot of people cannot stand her.

I've never heard a failed candidate say "I'm just not a likable person".  They blame everything and everybody for their failures.
