I checked her Facebook page she actually lied about her child having cancer; I didn't want to believe that a person would actually do it; but sure enough for months she was on her page promoting her business and talking about her fight for her daughters cancer.

Truly sick and disgusting, exploiting your own kid for money.  How is loss of freedom and losing your children worth any amount of money?  Not just the money she got in donations but the money she got for her company because people used her business over others in a way to help her gain extra cash.

I'm beyond floored and her marvelous maid business which was expanding from Fairbanks to a second one in Wasilla I guarantee you is dead and gone now.


It doesn't appear that the governor is the problem folks. We call ourselves partners with the oil companies yet our partners make money while we loose money in the deal that was set up by our previous governor and our states congress that are still in office. In Alaska voting for a republican means voting to loose money in our partnership with the oil companies. The republicans refusal to dump sb21 (senate bill 21) even after school teachers were being fired, and my personal favorite, out of control criminal activity and no money to fight back gives me all the reason I need to vote these lackeys out. To vote for a republican is to vote against yourself. Voting for a republican means oil companies profits first, my needs ,maybe second. If your angry about your government , then change who you vote for and keep changing until it starts working for you. Look at your bank account, look at your retirement account. Do you like what you see? It doesn't matter who,just not republicans.

Damn these character limits.

As I've said, while I don't agree with the veil I have to agree with the woman's choice to wear one. I can see how you feel this is a way to subjugate woman and reinforce the "property" aspect of a male/female relationship but isn't it better to allow the woman the opportunity to remove the veil in her own time rather than forcing her not to wear one? Isn't that just a different form of forcing an external viewpoint on her?

As for "numbers" whatever you meant was somewhat unclear. The wearing of a veil is still rare in Canada and terms like "mass immigration" are meaningless. What quantity is "mass"? What reduction in the current immigration levels would mena that it is no longer "mass". And frankly even with our current immigration levels, the number of women wearing a veil is very, very low.

Yes you, and we, should always be concerned about our freedoms but I don't see that there is much evidence that Muslims in Canada are to be feared.


Me too! And Amazon is not the only egg in the basket; example, Newegg (forgive me.) Besides, we can order from the U.S.-it used require jumping through a few hoops but I have noticed that it has gotten quite easy now.


This is the single best argument for the superiority of Star Trek over Star Wars that I have ever read. Well-trolled, sir, well-trolled.


Neither government nor special committee have established a practical proportional representation. But the BC Citizens Assembly has. It received expert veteran checking from Dr James Gilmour, asked by Iceland to conduct STV elections to their special assembly.
Canada itself used STV/PR for some 30 years in 4 cities provincial elections and for up to 50 years in some municipal city elections.

For those who oppose rail, you may likely agree the Salvage the Rail option being proposed is far preferable to the current 21 mile elevated rail plan.

There have been tragedies around the country and around the world," Saltzman says. "I wasn't going to have a tragedy on my watch when I had the authority to do something."

Saltzman still doesn't understand--he doesn't have the authority to do what he did.

Makes me wonder if he's been on the Commssion too long--he believes he makes the rules regardless of purview or legal jurisdiction. Tomorrow he'll be changing zoning law to facilitate a project he likes.


Nope. That was arpaio. How are you seriously defending rapists right now?


It'd probably take some time for those instances to decrease as all the ones who thought people like us were bluffing would have to "drop dramatically" first.


The pics of those camps are just gross. APD really needs to clean them out again and keep doing it. I'm not without sympathy but our public spaces should not be allowed to look like this.

No, but they will be able to get financing to take out the VTB when banks realize they have earnings to generate. Most people with 800k to put down have *some* understanding of how money works. Not all of them, but most.


Editorial standards seem to be getting lower.  The author is making childish mistakes as though he doesn't know the topic.  First in setting "rules" against "people" or pastoral care as though the "rules" (which is a kind of silly word for Church teaching about morality, as though Christianity is Islam or Judaism) have nothing to do with the care of souls.

And next concerning canonization.  Does the author simply not know what a saint is and what it means to canonize one?  That a saint is not a folk hero/celebrity "good person" (not that the two mentioned even make it into that category) or even an exemplary Christian but someone who has attained the Beatific Vision.  And that canonizing someone is a declaration that he is definitely in that state.  Which is why it is (or used to be) a long and cautious process, so long that Albert the Great wasn't canonized until about 1930!

These are not matters of opinion but of fact.  "Why does the Church have rules?"  "What does "saint" mean?


It seems to me, if governments wouldn't waste our tax money, governments would need less tax money and Canadians could pay less taxes and Canadians would have more money to buy goods and services to help businesses survive and do more business and expand and hire more people.


From a  poster:
"For a contributor to scream to stick with the plan, the re-build, and to rightly, given that view, question the Boyle trade, for that poster to then turn around and attack someone who essentially agreed with him that the trade was questionable at best, I don't get it."
"Said poster then goes nuts pointing out how this trade makes sense, at least according to others."

Apparently, this post "goes nuts" and is the "attack":
"A poster on this thread was "trying to find someone who can explain how trading a 2nd rounder and a prospect for an aging slow footed 4th liner fits into this so-called plan...". Last week, the Hockey News outlined exactly the rationale for this trade. (I guess the poster does not read the Hockey News). Although the asking price for Boyle was projected to be a 1st round pick.
http://thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-should-target-brian-boyle/"

Wonder how Brian Boyle feels about being called an "aging slow footed 4th liner"....speaking of attacks.


When you tweet and someone who disagrees with you replies with a Breitbart link to prove their point, that's called Klansplaining.

Interesting response to something JGD wasn't talking about.


Cuba is still run by thugs who hate freedom and democracy.
Fidel was a ghastly dictator, and so is his brother.
They have never had any respect for human rights:
Just ask their political opponents and the gay community in Cuba.
I hope that Trump ignores any pleas by Francis to get along with the current regime in Cuba.


Liberals love to sell a carbon tax by saying "It will force us to become more competitive in using and producing energy".

Nonsense!
It will force a lot of Canadian manufacturers into bankruptcy.
It will force manufacturers looking to invest in Canada to look else where.

We keep getting told we live in a global economy and competition is everything.  Our government just tied both of our hands behind our backs and threw us in the ring.


Absolutely.  Watch the Truth about Unfounded to get an understanding about false accusations.

It's funny.  I looked at the dispatch logs after I read this article.  ALL of the santa clara fire dept that responded to the fire were there with in 5 minutes.  The Eugene units were there in 10 only because they were not at the station when the fire was reported.  DONT blame the fire for their response times,  They do a great job.


And what does that Foundation do, Jeff, with those millions? It builds hospitals and schools in poor countries. It is called a charity. Harper made the Aga Khan an honorary Canadian because of those good deeds.

Edwards, on the other hand, co-owns the Calgary Flames. And this oil billionaire wants taxpayers' money to help build a new hockey arena in Calgary.

Can you spot the difference? The first clue is that an orange is not an apple.


As does Islam genius. Oh and subjugation of women, and the KILLING of non-Muslims. So your point is slag. Could me and my transgender bf get married in a mosque? Get a grip.


It's been a long time since the Sec of State actually did the audits job because any faults would lie at the feet of the Democrat Party that controlled government and hired all the managers,  administrators,  and civil service help which,  of course,  was required to belong to one of the various public employee unions and pay dues to elect,  of course,  more Democrats.  All the legacy of John Fitzgerald Kennedy,  the horn dog intern banging President so admired by the left.  He allowed the Feds to unionize the bureaucracy.  Big mistake.  Look what they are doing to Trump under cover of union protection.  Leak,  and leak some more.  Untouchables.  And no different in Oregon.  Public employees are untouchables.  A protected class.  The enemy of the 'deplorables.'

This legislative flurry in the Anchorage Assembly and State legislature will result in a lawsuit being brought against the Muni by taxi emblem permit holders and the will win, resulting in tax burden to the property owners so Uber ca make a profit. Stupid in spades.


In the immortal words of BO, 'come onnn maan'.  So, he’s either incompetent or a liar.

There ya go! Thank you James


The left worries that conservative judges like Gorsuch will interpret the law as it is written.  Instead they should be relieved that he and others are not inclined to legislate from the bench as liberal judges are inclined to do.  Imagine where that would take us.  Half or more of the bureaucracy in Washington could be ruled unconstitutional.


All about me? Yeah, that's whole reason I quit smoking cigarettes right after I got married way before I had a child, the reason I spent months eating really well, taking supplements and vitamins, not drinking and not smoking pot because it was all about me and I totally didn't care about the future of my "baby". Goofy huh? Oh that's a nice thing to say but you're telling me fetuses is an inappropriate term? Truth is that morning sickness or rather HG which is what I had, can be dangerous to both the mother and baby. It is in no way selfish to smoke pot if it's helping you which in turn will help your baby. Don't let people take away your medicine. It's probably safer than the pharmaceuticals they'll give you that are involved in lawsuits over birth defects, it's safer than starving, getting anemic, malnourished, anorexic and dehydrated. I believe it could prevent post partum depression too and is a safer alternative to drugs used to treat post partum depression.


Q - What kind of loser loses $100,000,000.00 in 2005 ??


And then what, Janette? What do you do with the information? Keep your children away from them? But if they are not people in your family's social circle, would your children have been playing in their yards to begin with? And virtually all sexual abuse of children is committed by those people who are in the family's social circle, often family members themselves, not by someone you don't really know who is on the registry and happens to live in the neighborhood. Certainly you need to and want to protect your children, but this is best done when you have the facts.


*ad1. I have a PV system installed in 2011. I now need to increase the amount of panels to cover charging of a EV, but, HECO will not allow it, unless I give up the net metering status. It is not in their best interest to let me increase the out-put. As I say, it will always be profits first with HECO.


If the World was made aware of the brutality of the CCP, first, nobody would buy anything from China, and then the people of China would wake up and arrest the ones who had committed the horrible atrocities against humanity and the cruel CCP would cease to exist. For example, a young lady was illegally arrested for practicing Falun Dafa. They brought her to a hospital and asked her to sign a document giving the state the right to harvest her organs. She knew they meant while she was still alive. She refused so they beat her, knocked out a few teeth, then cut off her fingers. Unthinkable cruelty that is never mentioned by Western media nor the U.N. because of corporate greed.


Probe? Sure thing.

Right after the probe into the sanity of the current POTUS.


Trump is just a proxy, shorthand for character traits you value. If you think lying, fraud, misogyny, xenophobia, extreme narcissism, self-dealing hypocrisy, breaking of promises sacred (nuptial) and profane (debts) are all just peachy, then go for a Trump supporter.


We, along with the UN were in combat against the North Koreans in the Korean War - the PPCLI won the Presidential citation there and we had 5,000 troops involved. We are technically still at war with that country and you say that they are no threat to Canada? GET REAL.

The hate for NK??? A country that is about to vaporize its neighbors and us? You must be on crack.


So Trudeau is like Trump willing to forget about facts and act like  there was a real investigation to determine what happened.  He is also willing to forget about international law and the rule of law and the  UN charter to which he claims  to serve. I doubt his father would have been so inclined to throw international law under the bus so fast.


Indeed.

Of course there is that inconvenient fact that their culture included slavery. Their whole economy depended on it. Even after slavery was abolished the southern culture had the keeping of blacks as second class citizens as its ultimate aim.


Yes crime has always been part and parcel of the tourist trade in Waikiki but the criminal elements
there now are much more hardcore and they need to dealt with by the City, the hotels and
HPD.  Assigning more CRU units there along with more officers would help. Vice should also
be there in force focusing on the pimps and prostitutes and drug trade. If these people get the
idea that everything is open for them, they will increase like the cockroaches they are.
Temporary increasing police presence is like trying to put out a oil fire with water.  You tamp it
down but it springs back right up.


I don't understand how Notre Dame is directly involved in funding anything. They are not self-insured, at least for students. The student plan is offered by Aetna, which covers many colleges and universities. The other issue is that grad students are required to enroll in the plan, so that requirement automatically means that any contraception must be out of pocket. Individual plans are far too pricey or limited for most students, so I don't see how ND is not imposing its beliefs, not only on ND students, but on Aetna, which probably has a boilerplate policy for colleges and now has to make a special plan for the opt-outs.


Yes in some cases it may. But here I see someone who has an unrealistic sense of return on investment.

I hear a lot of people speculating that Anchorage has a serial killer.  I understand that police want to protect their investigation; but citizens deserve to know how safe/unsafe it is for them to be in local parks and trails.  Police need to tell us more!


Trump continues his tiresome practice of mixing implied threats with implied suggestions that reasonable accommodations are possible.  Canada and Mexico need to ignore this one man Greek Chorus and maintain a fact-based, firm but reasonable focus throughout these negotiations.

If Trump renews his threats of withdrawal from NAFTA if his demands are now accepted without reasonable compromise and reciprocity, then Mexico and Canada (and the peoples of both countries) need to be prepared to suspend negotiations until such threats are withdrawn.

There are many interests in the US that will act to thwart US withdrawal from NAFTA in such circumstances.  If we're firm but reasonable a reasonable, balanced reform of NAFTA is possible but Canada and Mexico will be tested throughout by Trump's temptation to bully.


"fore" not "for". I forgot to mention the issue of sovereignty. When critical infrastructure monopolies in the private sector get bought up by overseas interests, sovereignty is in big doc-doo. Thats is the situation in the UK where its gas and electricity utilities are all controlled by other European countries - that wasn't so bad before Brexit maybe but a different matter now.

All DNA tracing can do is give some indication (probabilistic not definitive) of the origin of a particular pattern of DNA.

We know a bonobo is not a human, and we know people today are human.

What we do not know is where the dividing line is. Logically there was a first human.

Since God exists outside time and space, Adam and Eve could have been created, lived, and died anywhere without regard to any DNA testing.

This is an excellent example of a case where a theological truth is in no way contingent upon science. At best we can opine that there is no evidence of a prior unfallen creation in the record on this earth.


HRS, correct. We, and the big island have excellent police officers, and yes, there are the bad as well. I see Allie attributed much of her comment to the police force, which was not my intent, but rather illustrating how much crime is rampant on the big isle.

Erdogan is trying to put into place the "Managed Democracy" that Putin has imposed on Russia, wherein a fig-leaf of controlled media (while allowing a few ineffective opposition outlets to exist as long as they remain ineffective) and sham elections keep the dictator in power indefinitely.

Erdogan sees how Putin is able to control the message and the political process while looting the nation and he wants that for himself.

It's no coincidence that he is cozying up to Putin.

Expel Turkey from NATO and end any ties to the EU.

Dictatorships have no place in NATO or the EU.

Let him try to build the Turkish economy with Russia as his partner.

So the President quits and pouts. Who in recent Alaska history is also a faux conservative populist who demonstrated that when the going got tough, she got out?

Time to hold that bozo to full account.


You got that from this article???? Wowwwwww!


Most people resist change and when competition is involved change is inevitable.  If you want a slower, more traditional race then run the Yukon quest. Mitch and Dallas have changed the way the race is run and have proved that they can win with teams that haven't been pushed to the edge but that would continue down the trail if the race was even longer.  It isn't just resting dogs in the sled, they also train year round! Most mushers are used to taking the summers off and it takes a lot of effort to figure out how to exercise dogs in the summer.  Also mushers like nick petit, who wasn't resting dogs in his sled, almost caught them so the resting dogs isn't the only way to win. Iditarod isn't going to slow down and if you want a camping trip where you build fires in the wilderness and cook the beaver you just killed to feed your dogs then start a new race.  There are plenty of other races to run or you can run Iditarod knowing that your not going to be in the top 30.


Canada's Climate Change Policies under the Federal Liberals (as near as I can tell.)

The judge is doing his job.

The source of all US law is the Constitution.

The office of the presidency is a creature of the Constitution.

It is governed by the Rule of Law, just like everything else.

The decision is not a denial of federal power.  It is merely a re-statement that executive power must be exercised within Constitutional bounds.


Gee whiz, Nick, how do you NOT know about Carl Marrs, et al?  Bill Allen was his groomsman at his spendy wedding.   Steven Box wrote a good book titled,  "Crime, Power and Mystification."   The book shines a light on the benefits of corruption.


Fat chance...Donald can only talk about his issues.....and Justin can't talk.


I just don't get Trudeau's statement that Canada is less of a country because of the passing of Gord Downie. First and foremost Downie was an entertainer, an entertainer whose appeal did not attract all of Canada , despite the over the top accolades. Canada is not the sum of one man or woman or many men and women. Canada as a country is defined by many things and people, it is not defined by one man. Any of the interviews with Downie came across showing a man who loved to perform,nor more nor less. His legacy will be the music, he didn't expect or ask for sainthood.


Ya know... I reads lot of comments... And it's like there are two different languages....which is really kind of sad.... And it does seem to be the right that's pushing the wedge.....

We have a lot of folks who will confuse their opinion with a fact.... and describe things in exaggerated terms....with a lot boogie man.... People are already babbling about the demise of America if Hillary wins...emotion over reason type stuff....

Maybe the Internet has caused people to think they're smarter and better informed then they really are... Look at any discussion of climate science and they come out in droves....

I think what some call infringement of their free speech... Usually the left is doing it... Is actually them getting called on their statements and claims.... My ignorance or misinformation is not equal to another's knowledge and experience.....and things that are wrong should be discarded... Today they take on a life of their own....


That's not the situation described in the article.


There is a bike path around most, if not all, of Kapiolani Park.  Here’s a map of the area.  http://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/files/2013/02/BikeMapOahu-5c_HonoluluDetailWaikikiKahala.jpg

As I recall, in some places the sidewalk is right next to the path, so if you were on the sidewalk, then it’s possible you could be cited.  If you’d like to contact me with more details, I’d be happy to try to help you figure it out.


"138,000 of us voted to build the gasline if we can make it work."

Oil companies who do this for a living have opted out. That right there is a big ass red flag Walker cannot make this work at a profit.

How far you willing to deplete Alaskan's to figure out what the oil companies already have?

Your IF is at a price more costly than losing a few billion dollars on a one term governors wet dream. Your gamble is causing massive funding to be redirected from public schooling. Your IF is causing severe economic hardships which lead to stress which affects families being healthy. Your IF reduces public services and resounded times.

Moreover your support of this BS project has caused relationships between representatives and governmental agencies in Alaska to fight one another for a fractured budget. Workers in place who protect communities, teach children, secure a safe way of life.

Who has already benefitted from the millions upon millions already thrown at this pipeline? Not Alaskan's

Thanks for the links. I love a good statistic. I'd start with separating the premise of violence and politics though. The latter is the easier. Regardless of the politics, gun control advocates (not gun ban or forfeiture dreamers) aren't very concerned with what a person believes when they shoot the gun, they want to reduce immediate access for a number of reasons. The former, the shooters themselves, I'm personally not concerned with either. I don't look as race, religion, etc, as a causality. Other people can have other opinions. So, I agree, to an extent the group you are referring to is stereotyped just as much as the myth of the thousands of sleeper cells in america based on ethnicity or religion. It's a fine line between profiling in a common sense way and abuse. The lines are pretty blurry these days.


The pre SB-21 CBR was 13 billion dollars ( the exact amount needed to build a gas line  ) until Parnell gave it to the oil companies. No industry except crude oil is,or has been, promoted by the oil company representatives in our Legislature. No infrastructure has ever been considered that provides any incentive for business Alaska that does not serve the oil industry. Companies , other than oil, find it cost prohibitive to operate in Alaska because of the high utilities, and logistics. They either have no access, or it costs too much to operate a business in an oil monopoly. Republicans have done this to Alaska intentionally to get the PFD when it is at it's highest point ever. They refuse to proceed with potential new sources of income such as a gas line,or Cannabis, or alternative energy projects that would lower the cost of doing business in an all out effort to keep the oil industry profitable, for themselves. They are why we NEED the Federal Governments protection.

After being born here, leaving to CA for 20 years in 85 and moving back, I am shocked at the never ending economic depression that exists in this state and the never ending requests for increased taxation. You all remember that when you are writing your checks to the Lane County Tax Assessor in the coming months (which is $4500 in my case). These people will never stop unless we stop them.

I spoke to a CBS polling contractor who told me a week or more before the election that that they had a great deal of uncertainty in their polling. The fact that uncertainty was not reported was telling (to me) that the reported positive polls for Mrs Clinton were a failed attempt at influencing voters. Why isn't anyone concerned that CNN attempted to influence the election?


Never heard of it.


Okay.  At least this incident caused airlines to make changes which benefit the passengers so great.


What would you know about honesty. You are the one trying to convince people that trucks are such a great bargain and then go about denying what automotive journalists and people say about the horrendous costs of ownership of Trucks. Honest would be admitting these costs and their excessive contribution to CO2 omissions.

Your vain attempts to discredit the EV world was actually quite dishonest with constant talks of bankruptcy and other non existent problems. What would you know about honesty?? Seriously.

I'm not surprised your on the Rebel - most people that ignore science are.

How ridiculous!  Better for whom?  The middle-class Canadians that have to bear the financial, economic and environmental brunt of mass immigration?  Better for the veterans that are unable to get housing or care that they need?  For the un- or under-employed Canadians who are competing for jobs with 300,000+ immigrants and refugees every year?  For the seniors who can't afford medications?  We can still be decent in a way that does not involve opening our doors to the displaced and disadvantaged people of the entire world.


Oh well, that gives Panya something to do.

Young people are thinking for themselves?  They are?

Young people are the ones most likely to crumble under peer pressure.  Young people are the ones most likely to parrot what they have been told by the media and entertainment industries.  It is one reason why advertising is geared to them...it is relatively easy to tell them what they think they want...and they will buy the product and the concept.

And although you refer to your book often and claim pre VII is the fear to be avoided...Perhaps the fear that is being inculcated into them now is what should really be avoided - the fear of bucking the system that offers such pressure, the fear that to truly think for themselves will ostracize them, and the fear of a secular world bent on obliterating Truth & belief that does not line up appropriately with its agenda.

What say you?  Although it doesn't fit your narrative.....


Mueller and his side kick need to recuse themselves.


you seriously believe "that the Conservatives years of hyper fund raising "cash for access"passed without notice"?

Given that the Conservatives couldn't pass gas without being pilloried in the liberal media (Robert Fife included) your statement is laughable


Time to give the Puerto Ricans their freedom.


I wish the day would come when an automated system could zero in and zap any would be robber with 100,000 volts like a bolt of lightning from heaven.


"Yet angry white men voted him in. All because they are afraid of the future and want to go back in time."

Way to go with completely not getting it and expressing your prejudice against working-class men. I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary and Jill Stein in the general election but I understand the economic frustration and anger that elected Trump, because I'm working-class. A lot of people are tired of struggling to make a living in an economy that is rigged against them. And a lot of those struggling are not white. Or men.

You really need to do some reading. I suggest: "Listen Liberal" by Thomas Frank; "Our Kids" by Robert Putnam; and "Hand to Mouth" by Linda Tirado. Or, if you're not willing to learn, you can just keep losing elections.


These injection sites should be located in Liberal riddings.


Good post.


Oh Wow oh Wow!   I just wish I was AS "connected" as all these insightful people responding to this article.   PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    God, you people are unbelievable!!!!!!    Google, like Microsoft, Facebrag (er, Facebook) and Twits (er, apologies again, Twitter), are all nothing but corporations wanting to make as much money, in (almost) anyway possible.  Are they better than the Standard Oil's, US Steel and other oligopolies of the past?  Yes, in some ways.  But make no mistake about it, they will do (and push) the boundaries, both legal and ethical, as much as they can to improve their bottom line.  Having spent 25+ years in the investment industry, ALL on the institutional side, I can tell you from experience that these companies are as ruthless, and in some ways more insidious, than their predecessors.  Unlike corporate monsters of the past, these inceptions now control everything you watch, listen to and follow, then use it against you.  It's 1984 in 2017.......WAKE UP PEOPLE!


Yes, jobs are up.  The stock market is up.  The illegals are self-deporting even before the wall has started.  Our country is back on it's way to greatness again.


ANWR is much larger than Area 1002. The birthing areas are not all of the area. Nobody is proposing drilling in a valley, this is the coastal plain. Even directional driling has a distance limit.

This is not a series of comments about whether or not we need the oil, should burn it or turn it into plastic, or any other side issue. The LTE made a series of unsubstantialted claims about the impact on the Gwich'in.


Yeah, because they never had wild fires until the last 150 years.

 If, you're attempting to attribute this to climate blame, please try to keep religion out of the conversation...


Perhaps another perspective might be, that we are too focused on our own wounded-ness and we might want to less self-absorbed and more concerned with our fellow human being and how we are treating them and sacrificing for them and doing for them. It can be quite healing and allows one to forget one's troubles more so that merely being active and dropping the rope. Radical love and altruism is likely more important than radical acceptance.


I didn't know we were the only state to oppose this.


Promotion?? What about an outright firing!


Wavemaker, as you well know, there is no such thing as serious jail time passed out in Alaska.

Within a matter of weeks very lucrative plea deals will be reached for all six defendants with some judge agreeing to give them a 'stern talking too and time served'. Of course in light of recent events in Nome, the judge will likely not have the backbone required for the 'stern talking too' portion of the sentence.


The orange buffoon is not to blame here, this police culture has been around for decades.


btw, that south American country is Venezuela, a country rich in oil resources, but government socialistic policies have caused chaos in economic structure of the country, leading to almost a complete collapse of economic activity, no jobs, high prices, no food housing, etc.


I have been to Halifax and have heard zero about this? Must be just a commercial to sell jewelry.


In the case of Ms DeVos. She is super wealthy. How is the fact that she spend a lot of her time and wealth on passionately improving outcomes for poor kids a bad thing?


Thank you Denver Post for giving the bike helmet window lickers a voice. Sure they have a right to believe whatever and say whatever they want, but their right to believe in a flat earth does not supercede my right to laugh at them.

Fact is, they grasp at straws with flawed maths and wild conspiracy theory. Quite simply, they are wrong.

And dont fall for the poor me they spout here. Watch their videos on YouTube. They are the most arrogant and intellectually dishonest people on the planet. They ridicule just as much as their opponents.


Spoken like a true Liberal, spitting on the grave of the dead. Classless goons.


More Hollywood Stupidity....so boring. But the bigger question is ,why is this NEWS worthy?
I say to Mr. Kawaipunahele aka;Patrick Stewart, Good Luck with that  US citizenship application. First Red Flag? Unable to assimilate with the Leader of American  people .....It;s  as stupid as me saying: I want to be  British subject/citizen so that  I can Oppose the Queen of England.


no more laws we have far too many and each new law is an assault on my freedom.  If you want people to donate provide an incentive for them to do so

So much money is at stake. Pebble will pursue this as long as they think they can subvert the system, grab the gold & to heck with the salmon & people who depend on them. Just like BigOil.


Too late, they're doing the hiring now in public institutions of all kinds.


Let's see....T had a torn ACL while at Northwestern and shoulder surgery this year -- both contact related.
Check.

I'm pulling for the kid, but comparing his physical stature to Elways is like comparing apples to orangutans.


The Church has been patriarchal since you became a Catholic (and long before then....).  Now you protest that culture?  Operative word is "protest."

What does the Church stand for if it changes like the wind at the demand of the current culture?


Well, it's "silly and juvenile" to one outsider - you.  And you've spent many hours over several years telling Canadians that.  A reasonable person might wonder why.


I see the well fed cats at Kanaha hunting all the time. You don't understand cats at all if you think feeding them turns off their hunting instinct. There are over 1,000 cats at Kanaha after years of TNR and it obviously DOES NOT WORK!!!!

If you want to be a cat hoarder don't impose your mental illness on the rest of us by doing it in our parks and filling the beach sand with cat feces.


Both Duffy and Wright should be prohibited from holding any public office as both of them along with Harper betrayed all of us (Canadian taxpayers). BTW is Duffy working for us? or just collects paycheck for doing nothing.


I say invest in your own future and don't expect to subside off the work of other younger people later. My employer doesn't match retirement contributions and certainly doesn't have a pension program. I work for a non-profit. Which, really, is not any different than a state or federal employee, and, I don't think it is right to expect your employer to pony up for your well being later in life just because you are a public servant. I certainly don't expect social security to be around by the time I am 65-67-69 or what ever it will be when I can't work anymore. Enstar just faced the same fiscal uncertainty which flipped our gas bills up by a ten dollar "customer charge" that I'm more than willing to bet was to pay for their retirees. That I understand. It's corporate. You have to pay. But civil servants? No. The ex presidents should be pulling their own weight. Just my thoughts.


And if I actually go where you suggest I go, I end up here:

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-2015/tables/table-20

and if you tot up the total homicides in 2015 (more recent data!) you get 13,455 of which 9,616 are from firearms, which is actually up over 70% of the total.  So Nohman... not sure what you're looking at.

Again, I'm not really fussed about arguing the issue itself, just pointing out when "alternative facts" are quoted.


AnonAJ, deep gratitude for sharing that about your husband dealing with his physical problems with "a lot of class." I find that inspiring. I was dealt a very severe blow this year healthwise and have really been knocked for six. I'm going to try and follow your husbands example. Thank you!


Protecting the PFD is no sideshow - no more than protecting individual's personal bank savings accounts.
The real deception is ignoring the oil/gas tax & credits, those are the mega-swindles we Alaskans are enduring - yet from the Gov. on down, no one attempts to fix it.
Continuing with mega-projects -including the obscene Pipe Dream -- now those fall into the felonious dereliction of duty category.
15% of Fed.Inc Tax is not onerous & Pres.Trump plans to reduce FedInc tax. I favor a small Income Tax.
A statewide Sales Tax is appropriate. Take time to read, understand the little book "THE FAIR TAX" The very poor need not be hurt.
Attempting to buoy up the statewide economy by gubmut spending is as wrong-headed as mega-spending on an LNG line & dreaming of a miracle to make it profitable. Govt spending to "fill our budget to maintain a vibrant economy." is pure ideological malarkey.
I do agree with the obvious - that we should tax Gross volume & Gross sales of oil/gas -NOT the NET.


On the other hand, we can stand by and watch a loved one suffer through yet another 'faint hope' treatment, knowing full well there is 'no hope' but yet we are told its in their best interest. Sorry, not from where I am standing and personally, I have already made my wishes clear. Hopefully, you'll never have to make a decision like that.


As opposed to the party that not just condones--but actually celebrates--infanticide, sodomy {you know, grave sins which cry to Heaven for vengeance}, and open borders? Please.


You are so misinformed.


Drumpf is all waha and threw his VP and staff under the bus.  Prepare for President Pence or even President Ryan.

Marine Le Pen will make an excellent leader in France. I'd vote for her.


I think the "pork and beans" doctrine applies here. You'll recall that it was first articulated by His Eminence, Eustacius Cardinal Van Camp, at the Second Council of  Cibus in 1397.

"Yea, verily, shouldest any of the faithful inadvertently consume some portion of meat or meat by-product in a dish otherwise intended to be meatless, they shalt not suffer the pains of eternal torment."


Wealthy Hong Kong investors buying up property are destroying our neighbourhoods.  Houses remain empty and decay, beautiful character homes are torn down for some gaudy monster home, everything deteriorates.


Education is mostly funded by realestate taxes and not everyone pays those, not even all parents.  If you want vouchers that's fine - I am not against vouchers I am simply against vouchers that are used as partial payment, which makes them a subsidy for people who can afford the difference between what the voucher provides and what the actual school cost is.  Press schools to accept vouchers as full payment and we have no disagreement at all.


Criticizing in this instance, is trying to influence business owners into firing staff or denying expression of that freedom. The original protest was to bring light to a problem. Trump made it personal. He deserves everything he gets.  I never heard anyone complaining about people waiving the flag or standing at attention.


It says all the accusations about what Trump said was just posturing for political purposes.


I'm not using that as an excuse. The past happened. It happened everywhere in the world. Human history is not pretty. You can't look back. Throwing money and apologizing only creates a martyr situation. Why can't people see that?


So Byrd, who was an actual LEADER OF THE KKK is cool, because he "renounced" it? Yet Trump is a nazi sympathizer with no evidence what so ever? A born and bred new yorker is a staunch confederate revivalist?

Do you guys hear yourselves?

I wonder why the DNC and MSN don't just declare Clinton the President and save us all the messy business of actually having an election?


This is what Carlson says. And it seems like this is a rather unusual school which doesn't mean that it's of lesser quality. But it seems that they have a different approach to teaching and should be evaluated in a different manner... their measures of student achievement should be different.

“Our school is based on community. We want to eventually be a sixth-through-12th grade school anyway, so we’re always going to have multiage learning happening,” Cushman-Patz said. “We want our communities to be able to engage with each other when it makes sense to do so, but at the same time, the space that we’re getting is an underutilized part of campus where Kaimuki’s students aren’t going.”

Wendy:     If the players do NOT like the Interactions they are having with POLICE, they should try OBEYING the LAWS......


You know, Alberta & Killingsworth used to be the "crummy parts of town" up until a couple of years ago. That neat corner convenience store on 9th & Alberta was called "Murder Mart" for a reason. In the last 15 years, the neighborhood went from gangland to a more rock n' roll vibe, but it was still the "crummy part of town" throughout. That's where younger people were living. The restaraunts and bars there were hardly "expensive eating out," because they were hole-in-the-wall dives. Now that's all gone and we have "artisan ice cream stores" and "boutique shops." The same houses that were renting for $1200 are now going for $3000. New people just made it pricey in a short time. People are mad because they got essentially kicked out of their neighborhoods by old white money. So the complaining is not BS. Look past your own front yard and your own past every once in a while.


You know, Democrats could work constructively with the Republicans to design a replacement for Obamacare to the benefit of Americans.

On the other hand, they could just sit back on the rears like four-year-olds throwing a tantrum and watch Obamacare implode without even trying to help Americans.


And still no coverage of the rioters at the UW physically assaulting, beating, and tossing paint-filled glass balls at members of the public who were exercising their right to see Milo whatever his last name is?

Mike --- thanks for the dialogue. Hard to sharpen our foils with people who always agree.

I used to share your soviet-era view of economics. Had an epiphany many years ago though that good intentions are not as important results. You know-- that whole "tragedy of the commons" concept.

Without incentives to innovate and improve, the public education industry is
always going to take the "safe" and well worn path of education delivery that has changed very little since Horace Mann and the 1840's --because so many adults have a vested interest in that model.

Unfortunately for those people vested in the status quo, innovation and disruptive mastery-based education delivery models like Carpe Diem, Kahn Academy, Rocketship and many more are rapidly emerging. They will have the same effect on education that Uber has had in personal travel and Redfin is having on real estate transactions.

Without competition, we get the expensive stagnation that is the hallmark AK public schools.


Hmmmm...this news outlet is always lamenting the culture wars, but seems to be fanning the flames of, well...a culture war.  Why doesn't Coday et al come right out and admit it..."its bad when WE lose, but great when WE win!"?  At the end of the day, no one lost their mind in 2011 and no one is going to be dancing in the streets in 2017.  Many people refused to say "And with your spirit," just as many others will refuse to say "Glory to God in the highest and peace to God's people on earth." And the world will continue to turn.


Yes, I did, DG.
A Model T flatbed truck too. I was a tall boy, and the ability to reach pedals made the world much bigger for me than my mates.
In the later days of kidhood, my Uncle caught his right hand twixt the stalk rollers of a two-row corn-picker. Took him in to his elbow where he was able to kick and disengage the power take-off and stop the goddam thing. He sat on that tractor in agony and then shock through an entire afternoon before he was found. He was a man's man, and I loved him endlessly, and often think about that time he spent on his rig, alone.
I'll never forget the sight of his blood on that machinery.
To his great fortune, my aunt was a woman's woman and pulled him through it.
My great fortune was to come from people like them.
For most people, John Deere's are cute, little tractors now.

Other than butter and cheese what other animal fats? I eat pig backfat prepared in a variety of ways quite often (uncooked/smoked, or slowly simmered with spices). Does DHA survive the process of cooking? How about rendered fat?


There's no such thing as alt-left.   "The difference between alt-right and alt-left is that one of them was coined by the people who comprise the movement and whose movement is clearly ascendant; the other was coined by its opponents and doesn’t actually have any subscribers."

Your arguments are flawed in so many ways it's hard to keep up. First off, Alaska's Constitution doesn't say the state's wildlife belongs only to those who pay hunting license and tag fees. That right there makes your entire funding argument bogus. Wildlife belongs to all Alaskans, whether they hunt or not.  Therefore all Alaskans should have a voice, which includes fair representation of course, on the Board of Game.


Trump voters own every racist, bigotted, mysogynist utterance of their candidate.  Claiming not to be a racist is just more of the same White privilege denials attempting to justify their traitorous act against the nation and all human rights under the Constitutional Republic.  Their vote makes compatible hate and violence against all who dare to dissent from the whole package of anti-Constitutional statements made by every Republican running for office as they tried to outdo each other in their racist bigotry.  Trump stated clearly his hate and violent base nature born and bred in his German heritage.  Elena speaks truth.  "You just can't handle the truth".


why stop at the liberals?


Why has Canada - along with pretty much every other country- quietly enacted bank bail-innlegislation? This has happened just over the last few years. YOU the depositor are on the hook to recapitalize the banks. Money will be taken from YOUR account to achieve this.

Why have we had countries with negative interest rates? There is now over $13 TRILLION in negative interest government debt, world wide. What happens to all of the giant mortgages in this country when they come up for renewal, and interest rates are back to historical norms, which means that everybody's mortgage payments will DOUBLE?

Don't forget how the very low interest rates have crushed pension funds and insurance companies. Social Security in the US MUST invest in Government Bonds ONLY.

We are FAR closer to this entire mess tipping  over than you - or most people - realize...


Is two bucks a reasonable price to pay for a fair election?  I think so.


Then get the fluoride in your toothpaste and in pill form if you want it so bad but the rest of us should have a choice if we want to be poisoned.


if you look at a graph from 1950 to the present and plot soft drink consumption along site the rise in gastrointestinal malignancies--esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, heptobiliary etc---the rate of increase in both are absolutely parallel to each other. Cigarette taxes have been around for years--its absolutely time to tax sugary drinks as they clearly have just as much a cause vs affect profile


I don't recall you asking this of Mr. Kenney.


Lance Pruitt as Speaker of the House? You must be kidding. He is way too much of a uninformed twit to even continue being seen at the Alaska House of Representatives! Voters would do well to return him to his previous job at Sears.


By Calling Kim "Rocketman" Trump descends to the level of an immature middle school child. If the speech was written by a staff member he or she should be fired, if Trump wrote the speech himself he should stop writing now. The use of childish insults negates the impact of anything that is said afterwards.


And all of the other fast food retailers.

I am astounded that any of them can sustain the volume business to sustain profitability when I see at least 4 of these franchises advertised at any major highway exit.

The food may be inexpensive but it is unpalatable and generally unhealthy.

There is going to be a broad ranged 50% plus job loss rate in the near future due to massive productivity gains due to AI and automation.

Boondoggle averted, no credit to Liberals ... or even the NDP:

"How BC’s LNG Fiasco Went So Wrong -- Government, cheerleaders were blind to market forces that doomed the pipe dream. Will NDP make the same mistake?"
https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2017/07/31/BC-LNG-Fiasco/


Parliamentary tradition and precedent suggests the L- G should call upon the NDP to form the government since they have the majority support in the house.  The NDP with the support of the Green should be given the opportunity to govern.  If they are unable to continue to govern then they will need to advise the L-G who at that time then should dissolve the legislature and the election should be held at that time.


The lawsuit was because he was not given due process, it has nothing to do with injuries.  Our government did not follow our laws.  We have laws that deal with war crimes, murder, terrorism, treason.  Our government decided not to follow them.  That is why he got the settlement.

In Kornoola Australia, a suburb of Melbourne, Muslims commandeered a public park. They forbid dogs.  They forbid women to sunbathe.   They forbid public BBQs being used by non-Muslims lest they cook pork on the grills. They forbid outdoor church services on Sunday, while holding prayer sessions for hundred of Muslims with amplifies calls of ALLAH AKBAR. Gangs of young Muslim men patrolled the park to stop outsiders from using the park for sports and recreation, sometimes violently.  The Muslims entered an application to build an enormous mosque that would hold 1500 people, thus taking over the park completely.  The usual accusations of Islamophobia and racism were issued by the usual socialist polticans, leftist media and Muslims. who poo-pooed all concerns about the loss of public space.


First of all, let's not put these idiotic opportunistic thugs on any side, whether it be left, right, or centre. These bozos are simply agent provocateurs looking for a free party and do not represent either political stripes.

Has anybody actually been charged for the killings prior to Marikana? It would appear that the horrific murder of those 10 has been reduced to a meaningless side issue.


Buster1960, not all women practice your religious dogmas. Most important is that the church needs to understand that just like the Health care for men covers their complete health that includes their reproductive organs, so does women's Health care cover theirs. Because women are the ones to carry the product of intercourse it stands to reason that contraceptives, pregnancies and when needed or wanted, abortions are also part of that coverage. As a man you also have no right to make health care decisions for women and their families. Enjoy your God and let others enjoy theirs. Women are very good at making their own decisions which benefit them and their families as well as society. Fewer abortions occur with affordable contraceptives. Less crime occurs with abortions of unwanted pregnancies. Have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Oh how soon do we forget that Obama called ISIS Al-Queda's "JV" team. Obama is not superior but an idiotic MORON!


I subscribe to a watchdog website that monitors and posts videos of police brutality (the liberty cryer) and there are enough to raise an alarm in some places. I don't see so much a  systemic problem as I do a localized one. And the biggest problem is not the shooting but the police force coverup of them. Another big problem is always going strait to race as the cause. If there is a problem and you root out the wrong cause you fail to fix the problem and may well exacerbate it.

Nation wide police fatal shooting consist of 50% white, 25% black and 25% others. The only ones we ever hear about nationally are the blacks.  Why is that?

Another problem is that police almost always are justified  when they shoot someone, even in that case in Chicago where the cop shot a man over a dozen times while he lay on the ground.

If BLM wanted to work the issue instead of making a racial statement the would include the other 75% of the nation that are included in the shootings.


how do you see her being a lesbian make the situation any different if it were in a male/female spouse relationship?  i saw it as simply spouses cheating on their respective spouses having a hot and heavy affair at the workplace. always inappropriate...the locked door to the copy room and Jane Doe and John Smith are nowhere to be found.  . i don't know why gender is an issue in that all are female.


Poor little rich boy.  I suppose it explains why he parties with prostitutes.  I hope his girlfriend had him tested.


If Bombardier's credit is so good why not go to a bank for a loan like the rest of us?  Why not sell more shares?


Good point on Manning. He always found a way to work around deficiencies on offense. He always make the o-line better, made mediocre receivers look better than they were, etc.

I loved the draft - it's just a matter of figuring out QB long-term. If we can get a franchise guy, whether it's on the roster already or not yet, then the team will return to competing for titles.

Nice to see the o-line getting the attention it deserves finally.


Lies.  Most of these "Valdez" people live in Seattle.  Crolwey's web site shows the headquarters for this division in WA.  Crowley also grounded a vessel.


You hit this right on the head.  I took a $10,000 pay cut from the DOE to go work at a private school so my daughter could go for free.  I only had 75 students a year, and about two hours of prep time a day.  I was way less stressed.  It's not always about the money.


Pardon me? Trump said "it's a military operation." He did not say "it's like a military operation." Amazing the baloney Trump supporters try to promote.


The fact that Pelosi was re-elected by the Dems is a stinking miasma of their insistence on ideologues.


Agreed - that's how the "system" works but you forgot to mention the extreme power and influence of teacher unions within this system you described.


Of course, who wants to be stuck with child support? Not a single enlightened liberal male that I know of!

It has nothing to do with what car he is driving.  A german oil-change from the dealer is easily $100-120 with OEM filter and factory-OEM synthetic oil

cost is actually a red-herring.  If someone could tell you your oil was good for another 5,000km with zero risk of engine damage, would you go out and change your oil, "just to be safe?"

The science shows that with a synthetic oil, oil changes can be done in a range of 12,000-20,000km.  Conventional oils sludge up in approx one-half the mileage driven.  The biggest risk to an engine failing over time isn't lack of oil changes, but low oil level condition between oil changes.


What makes a police officer's life more valuable than any other life? Why is one life, no matter the person, more valuable than the next?  A human being is a human  being, it does not matter if they are a grandmother, a father, a policeperson, a doctor, or a homeless person.  Every person has potential to do good or to do bad.


Yes the CIU needs closer supervision and/or re-organization.  More importantly though is why our controversial Police Commission failed to employ internal controls, investigate and take action on our infamous ex-Chief?   Not only did they fail to do their duty, many of the commissioners actually supported him and gave him a golden parachute.

We should not rely on outside agencies such as the Feds to be a stop gap for poor management.   The City Council needs to enact legislation now to improve the Police Commission's effectiveness, accountability, and transparency to the public.


I think that Burke would do well to retreat to a life of prayer and penance, forgoing public appearances and publications, for a minimum of one year. He seems to be flailing about, as though mired in quicksand.


It can be considered a tax if the benefit that pays out to you is less than you put in.

http://www.urban.org/research/publication/state-state-coverage-and-government-spending-implications-better-care-reconciliation-act

The facts show that the current Senate bill is terrible for Alaska, and harms Alaska more than many other states.  For example, federal health care spending would decrease by 41.7% in Alaska, significantly higher than the national average of 32.5% (which is bad enough).  The state estimates the loss to be $3.1 billion.

The state says 34,000 Alaskans covered by Medicaid would lose coverage beginning in 2020.

Senators Murkowski and Sullivan have both expressed concern about how the bill impacts Alaskans.  During the recess they and their staffs have an opportunity to speak with constituents, people in the medical community- including nurses, doctors, and hospital staff), and find out more about how a bill hatched behind closed doors will adversely impact thousands of Alaskans.


Sloter isn't even close to being ready for 1st team defenses, put him on the PS and bring in a vet for a bod until Lynch is healthy.


Grandparents and Grandchildren are not close relatives? What strange corner of the universe did this come out of?
I was raised by my Dad and his brothers - so my Uncles were not my close relatives? On my Dad's side - only one Uncle is left and six cousins - I have no siblings. According to the reasoning in these new rules - I have no close family at all on my Dad's side. What a load of shibai! YMMV

I would respectfully request that all on both sides of this issue go to the Go Fund Me site and make a donation to the hundreds that are hurt from this despicable act of evil.  Now is the time to come together, let's wait till the facts come out before we play politics on the issue.


America thanks you.


It's the term they are urged to use in their handbook.  It sounds cutesy.


All of your comments and responses to this article have been full of falsehoods, no doubt fueled by leftist ideology. Zinke DID NOT overturn the ban on lead shot for waterfowl hunting, which dates back to 1991. Zinc overturned a ban on lead projectiles for hunting big game, i.e. rifle bullets. And there is a MAJOR difference in price for solid copper ammunition over traditional copper semi-jacketed lead ammunition. A box of Barnes TTX copper ammo is close to $50 per box. A box of Winchester Super-X (lead with a copper jacket) is just under $20. If hunters want to use copper, and pay more for it, fine, welcome to it. But this is something for the market to decide, not the legislature. If YOU want ME to use copper ammo, YOU buy it for me. otherwise, this is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to price me out of hunting. The end of hunting is your goal, not the protection of the environment.


The public sector union compensation will always remain high because the Liberals need to continue make happy their voting block.

That's the problem, you don't have the cultural context to understand that we already see about $300 billion prioritized elsewhere. Newcomers are our natural allies. They lived life on the same end of the dirt stick in their homelands we do as we do in ours.

You were once Newcomer and we showed you how to survive the winters and what to plant in the fall. Nowadays 70% of the world's food comes from  Indigenous plants, except you have a weird way of planting in the Spring on a denuded plot of land. We were the best of Trade Partners for 200 years, but you have already forgotten so much my friend. :)


Furthermore, self-government must be self-financed; otherwise they aren't even a semblance of an independent group. And I'm quite sure shutting off the financial support is not part of this Principle 4.

Thanks for this excellent piece.  Sadly, the over regulation of nuclear energy is not likely to be removed by the Trump administration.  The NRC was created by an act of Congress and it will take Congress to reign it is.  That is not likely to happen even with Republicans in the majority.  Congress is controlled by special interest groups.  The producers of natural gas, the petroleum industry, is a lobby more powerful than any other and they do not want to compete with nuclear on a level playing field.   Prior to the creation of the NRC the U.S. built close to 100 nuclear power plants in about 15 years.  The coal industry was the only significant organization opposed to nuclear at that time.   Now the petroleum industry will ensure the NRC continues its work.


You're right, there's no fix in for a power 5 team. The fix comes from the cartel the power 5 have created and are locking out deserving programs like Airforce and CSU from even competing for a national championship.

75 friends who would come to your special day and give gifts is pretty nice.  Be happy you have that many who like you.


You raise an interesting point, paulsixe, with "...way more incorporated small businesses than anyone thought."

Oh, the government knows how many there are.  But, individually, they are anonymous. They're mostly "little guys"--I was incorporated, too, and worked out of my basement. More of them today than when I did it!

What the government DIDN'T see coming--because they are short-sighted and driven by the image in the mirror instead of their constituents--Is the backlash of so many anonymous individuals can lead to something the media loves--underdog backlash by "jus' folks."

And the fact they didn't that possibility--or if they did, wrote it off--is just politically stupid.


Nobody has verified the site. How soon will it take to start pumping out oil? Where exactly is the oil? What infrastructure will be needed? Is this even for real? Lots ofquestions before we jump the gun.


The problem with cars like the Dodge Demon is buyers who have more money than brains. Or they have puny egos that need a boost and show-off. That's OK if they give their Demon a workout at the drag strip, but not on a public highway.

The OPP recently charged 3 drivers with speeding (separate incidents) on a remote section of the Trans Canada highway near Lake Superior. Two drivers were doing 145 km/hr and the third driver was doing 151 km/hr, all in a 90 km/hr speed zone. They were driving a GMC truck, Jaguar and a Pontiac. Imagine what they could do in Demon.


Sorry about that.

Real estate markets rise and fall on sentiment.  If everyone believes prices will rise then demand exceeds supply and prices rise.  However if everyone believes prices will fall then everyone wants to sell and no one wants to buy.  We are already in a market where people with average incomes can not affort to buy.  And this is in a market with near historic low interest rates.   It is at the point where any small tug on the rug could topple the whole market.  And the scary thing is that years of price increases can be erased in a very short period of time.  Panic only occurs on the downside.  It doesn't take a lot of research to figure out what can happen.  Just read about real estate in a market like Florida in 2008.

The important thing is, will we be able to spend $120 million ($30 million in normal construction money translated to "Hawaii Construction Project Dollars") on the airport while still retaining the ugly and old look of the newly named airport? I can see where this will be like having an old beat up car with a brand new replacement panel on it.
All kidding aside, I do think it is important for Hawaii's airport to be able to accommodate the largest passenger aircraft in the world, and also think that the planners should look at what it would take to possibly increase any changes to allow for aircraft like the Stratolaunch.

Good point. In cases like these the police officers themselves receive danger pay bonuses, and other special duty perks.
They also use their heavy artillery, showing up in flack jackets with high powered weapons and such. The equipment wholesalers love it.


One common theme of these recent incidents is the fingerprinting and photographing of some folks. In these cases the traveler was turned away after the guards obtained the fingerprints.  I believe it's obvious that the guards had already decided the traveler would not be permitted entry. Yet the continued the charade in order to collect those prints.  It's quite clear to me that if the guards ask for your fingerprints, they have already determined your not getting in.

I have been involved in gun rights for more than 20 yrs. I am fully versed in Federal law. Read your own bill. It states "under indictment," that's a plain language reading. As the saying goes, "a decent prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich." Yet the accused is not allowed to present evidence to the Grand Jury and, per the law, is legally -innocent- of any crime until actually convicted.

ixtlan, I agree. We should either get rid of the boards, which lack any decision making authority and are therefore ineffective, or truly empower towns with local councils and mayors. The current system provides the appearance of democracy without true representation - all too often devolving into a forum for grousing about problems without the ability to do anything about them - waste time brah!


It is remarkable that neither the Liberals changing the bill nor the people advocating for the change can tell us how many people are likely to be eligible to be added to the roll of status Indians.  There is potentially a lot of money involved.

You're trying to fool people - there are no lone horses roaming 400 acres or 1000 acres anywhere.  Some places are more amenable to wild horses than others and in some of the places that are hospitable to them there are overpopulations which leads to environmental problems which include starvation of some of those horses.

Also bear in mind horses are not a native species.


The Washington Free Beacon has shown nasty, anti-Trump propaganda is no different than Hillary Clinton's evil tribe.  How disappointing.  I've added TWFB to my list of trash magazines I never buy - only read on occasion at the check-out in the grocery store.  Is there no honor left in the political arena?  Apparently not.  This past year for conservatives is has gone down thanks to Mitt Romney, Bill Kristol, Erick Erickson and now the Washington Beacon.  No wonder no one trust the media - both sides.


So, the first amendment no longer applies? Funny, I thought the POTUS was supposed to uphold the Constitution, not selectively choose when it does or does not apply.


Every President has their good points and their bad points and President Trump has a wider spread than some, but his administration is getting it right when it comes to the reduction of regulation.

Unlike popular myth, the president really can't control the legislative agenda. That's Congress's job. FDR was able to bully them and that created the popular myth of the POTUS as king, able to do whatever he wants, but it is indeed a myth. Congress was always meant to be the primary governing body through its law-making capacity.

But, for a century now, the administrative state (technically under the auspices of the POTUS, but continuing from one administration to another) has added layers of regulation on top of laws that strangle our economy. Alaskans know this better than any other state.

So, good job, Sec. Chao and President Trump, for recognizing that red tape strangles and you can still have robust environmental protections without federal abuse of the states.

Toronto's population and large concentration of corporate dollars should be enough to compensate for competition from baseball and soccer

It is disappointing that the Globe failed to mention the Toronto experience with a high-speed rail link from downtown to its main airport, particularly when that project appears to be a financial nightmare for taxpayers.  Below is a link to a Globe article from 18 months ago which stated that the trains were 90% empty.  Government public transit mega-projects have a long history of costs much higher than forecast, and revenues much lower, with taxpayers paying for the huge losses.

The Russians are saying that Putin got everything he wanted from this meeting, and most important, the first true bi-lateral meeting as equals between our countries in decades. Russia has been trying to get that acknowledgment for many, many years and Trump just handed it to him. And now Putin is daring Trump to call his statement that Trump "accepted" the denials a lie. Trump won't do it, you watch. Who knows what was really said in that meeting...

"“He was a great guy,” Mueller said. “I never flew with him, so I don’t know his pilot skills.”

That's kind of interesting.  Renting a plane is not like renting a car where you grab the keys and drive off.  A plane's owner always checks out a perspective renter's skills (pattern flight, some touch and goes, etc.) before he lets somebody rent his plane.  This guy must not have a very big rental fleet....less now.  I'd never rent a low wing 50 year old Piper for a circle island sightseeing flight.  No newish high wing Cessna 172s in his fleet?


Every single claim of Rep. Bill Johnson is a myth.
1) Cutting the business tax rate to 15% (from rates "up to 40%")
First of all, most all businesses pay nowhere near the official top rate of 35% (not 40, Mr. Bill!  Why lie about something that anyone can look up?).  Much more typical: ATT paid a tax rate of 8.1%; Boeing paid a tax rate of 5.4%. last year.  A few companies (with bad CFOs?) certainly pay 35%.  I have no particular objection to lowering all businesses' tax rates to the same 15 or 20% (with no special deals or loopholes for anybody).  BUT, the cost of those cuts is estimated at $2 trillion in lost revenue.
See http://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-15-corporate-tax-rate-could-cost-the-government-2-trillion-2017-04-25

What's going to make up the income shortfall?  You guessed it, raising either individual tax rates or raising the budget deficit.  There isn't much else.  I wonder which of these Mr. Bill is for??


Wouldn't a simpler ordinance be "No selling of any product or service on public right of ways?"  Sometimes, the more specific a rule, the more people will try to find a way to get around it as, in this case, there is no mention of "WHEELED" devices, so it must be OK!


I voted for Nader instead of Bush, because I couldn't possibly vote for Gore, but Bush won without my vote. The end does not justify the means, we must vote for who we want, not who we think will win.

Right-wingers often throw around the term "free speech" as a cloak to justify attacking or disparaging others. What they don't seem to understand is that there is a huge difference between free speech and hate speech. Hate speech should have no place on any campus, or anywhere in this country. It divides communities along religious, cultural, racial and political lines. This is not healthy for our country or our youth. It is possible to show respect while criticising someone at the same time. And why is it that the most inflammatory people in this country are the only ones complaining that their "free speech" is being violated?


Joy and celebration when 22 people were murdered? I think we can deduce from that what side you are on Ross.


I always buy travel insurance for trips/cruises because of the unknowns that could occur--accidents, weather, delays, etc.

THe cruise line (Carnival in this case) insurance is more expensive and has lower coverages than going direct to our travel insurance provider GENERALI  Travel Insurance.  Their website www.generalitravelinsurance.com has plans with the highest medical and emergency transport coverages in the marketplace.


One factor working agains this prediction is that the decline of the Euro against the USD - thanks in part to Donald Trump's inflating inducing budget plan - is a de facto devaluation that is likely to help paper over the economic weakness of the southern European economies. The Euro is a good bet to slip below par with the USD.

"Let them fight"?  Utter hypocrisy to advocate this when you arm and finance their enemies. "The liberal hates himself." Find a liberal to complain to. I'm not a liberal. Most are as useless as the self-worshiping, hypocritical "super-patriots" who embrace the satanic fallacy of "anna khairum min'hum"--"I'm BETTER than him." It rationalizes their bloodiest atrocities, and ultimately it WILL destroy them. Military "superiority" and the economic largess derived from it doesn't automatically equal cultural, social, ethical, moral or spiritual superiority. All it means is that your "superior" at killing and stealing. And that is ALWAYS a temporary situation.

If the average age is 25 and they have been here for at least 5 years chances are they weren't children when they got here. Reagan's biggest regret after leaving office was the amnesty he made a deal and allowed ...he knew it was like putting up a sign telling the worlds transients ...if you can sneak in to our country we will hand you a citizenship and lots of freer stuff. All over the US (outside of mexifornia oregon and washington) finding a democrat in power isn't an easy thing to do. The legal voters of this country decided at every level that the GOP should be trusted with that power because they would follow the law and support the middle class the left has destroyed with attacks like O-Care and failing to protect their wage rates from cheap unskilled foreign labor. We can either do what we promised we would do or we can prepare ourselves to take their place on the back benches ...


Sounds like the Sullivan agenda.  But you forgot the part about eliminating Unions.


Yes, it is exhausting to hear the boomers complain. In addition to being in a terrible position financially, millennials need to listen to the know-it-alls  complaining about them.
