The best news is right.  This will permanently destroy any hope for a two-state solution, giving the Palestinians even more of an excuse than ever to refuse to negotiate. Delicious. See you in Jerusalem at the US Embassy inaugural party! The Palestinians will continue to suck on sand and rubble as they have for the past 70 years, watching as their children commit suicide, and as another generation and future generations of Palestinians go down the toilet. Nice.  All in all a great Christmas present to the world. Thank you to the UN Security Council.

But so much for their reality. Let's get back to our reality. Merry Christmas to all!


Apparently the Federal Government still disagrees with you.  Section 8 vouchers don't have to be used for rentals.

 "Housing Choice Voucher Program provides "tenant-based" rental assistance, so a tenant can move from one unit of at least minimum housing quality to another. It also allows individuals to apply their monthly voucher towards the purchase of a home, with over $17 billion going towards such purchases each year (from ncsha.org analysis). The maximum allowed voucher is $2,000 a month."


Please for the love of GOD! STOP WAKING ME UP EVERYDAY WITH YOU RUDE AS HELL DELIVERY DRIVERS DESTROYING THE PEACE AND QUIET WITH THEIR NOISY, NO EXHAUST HAVING PIECE OF SHIT, GREEN MINI-VAN WITH PLASTIC FOR A REAR WINDOW. I HAVE WRITTEN TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK THEN COMPLAINED AGAIN, NOTHING! CALLED AND TALKED TO JOHN AND HE SAID HE WOULD TALK TO HER BUT, HE GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL BECAUSE HE KNEW NOTHING WOULD GET DONE. HE WAS RIGHT! I FINALLY HAD TO CHASE THE DRIVER DOWN AND SHE SAID, "IM GETTING IT FIXED THIS WEEKEND." WELL ITS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND SHE IS BACK AND IM ABOUT TO LOSE MY MIND AS NOONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!  please stop the noise! fix the van! fix the van! fix the van! fix the van!


Well you misunderstand.

If your main consern is your wife's health...guess what...your concern is where it needs to be: with your wife, that is, your family.   So I was right.

Your old enough that youre likely covered under medicare anyway...

http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare-medicare/

Obamacare has already been collapsing for 12 months, with the premiums galloping away.

All of Obama's promises on this have proven to be outright lies. "Like your health care plan? then you can keep it"...etc.

Yah.

If your middle son is most concerned about the world his children will live in...guess what?  He's concerned with the family.

He should renew his obigation as a Catholic (because I'm certain that you've lived the faith so well that he's also a happily struggling Catholic)....and he has set to the task to form his children in all the good virtues.

These virtues will ensure that no matter what world they enter...they can thrive with God.


Why does the amendment only reference "churches"?


as far as I am concerned this law violates the 1st amendment of government sticking there nose in our own business and being controlled by the government telling us what we can and what we can't do, its our right to make our choice when it comes to family all they have to do is ask parents if they would respect there children and not smoke when there in the car I feel a lot of parents will follow that advice and do it and leave government out of it, its almost like when that mental disorder lady who wrote years ago it takes a village where government tell you how to raise your kids, America you better wake up because that's how communist begins  to take over, as for manure and clodwell and others who vote for this why don't you go to North Korea and live there since you love the communist way you will not be missed.


What ever happened to quality and competence as values outweighing political correctness and quotas?

Margaret says: "I’m all for diversity. But these future researchers have important work to do. They could save lives. Don’t we want people who can research and teach, instead of prove how diverse we are? I guess not. We’ve got quotas to fill."

Well said Margaret - I agree whole-heartedly.


Tri...Let's stipulate that disagreements over Chaput vs Cupich or One Tobin vs The Other Tobin or Trump vs Clinton or Affordable Care Act vs An alterntative or Contraception vs. NFP or Maureen Fiedler vs Raymond Burke or the Reporter vs the Register do NOT constitute "SCHISMS"------any more than Winter vs Summer or JP II vs Charles Curran constituted schisms.

It's about time we Catholics, on the Right and on the Left, trust each other to discern, to rigorously inform our consciences, and to love our Church family. Enough with the Litmus Tests for determining "authentic" Catholics. Imagine how silly--VERY silly--it sounds: "You're more/less a good Catholic because of whom you vote for or how you plan your family or how you are intimate."

Why at Mass yesterday did I see in the parking lot cars with Hillary stickers and cars with Trump stickers, with the drivers ALL going to Mass and Communion? Celebrate it; don't lament it. Nobody was in schism, I assure you.


In my opinion, Bill Morneau is the worst finance Minister in the last 50 years.


Has anybody though to ask what the Indians what they want. I mean I was not hear when they abandoned their land and it appears family, they took Billions and billions of dollars, and still we are no further ahead. We give them more money, they are still takers and there are more Indian children in state care than ever. Cleary they need to meet us half way, and need to become contributors, instead of takers. But in the early days they took what they could get or find maybe they will never change until we stop giving them money. We can help find them jobs but they have to want to work. I do not think more appoligies are required, more tax payer money, I think the Indians have to show some leadership and get out to work and pay taxs like everybody else.


Republicans can screw with Democratic primaries too.... and it would be just as wrong for them to do so as for the Democrats to do so in Republican primaries.


What, on a good guys with guns exemption?


It's our job as taxpayers to cure drug addicts?  Cool!  Most of us just don't get addicted, but that's so late 1900's.  you want my house, too?


This is how these things work.  Outside corporation funds the mine/oil/etc. project.  They bring in lots of outside construction and operation people, people with plenty of experience, probably people they use elsewhere through a contractor that caters to their industry.     They pay off the politicians with thousands of dollars in campaign funding and in other ways.   They pay a CEO an obscene amount of money for doing One Thing: ensuring that the corporation gets the job done with as little expense and as much profit as possible.  Period.   The End.  The shareholders/owners receive the largest part of all the money made, the CEO receives tens or hundreds of millions, and everyone else gets as little as the corporation can get away with.  They get "jobs," and usually without much in the way of security, longevity or benefits.  One hundred highly paid CEOs in the US have as much in retirement as the bottom 40% of all Americans.


I'm not interested in "vindictiveness" and it's unfair to paint it that way. I'm interested in "justice."

I had a drunk driver hit my car and take off, going through red lights while fleeing. I had gotten out of my car to talk to him and he came extremely close to running me over in his escape.

The police caught him, but he got a plea deal (even though I had a witness) of DUII diversion, reckless driving down to careless driving, hit and run reduced to some kind of diversion/keep nose clean and it disappears, and dropping reckless endangerment.

Does that feel like justice? Not to me I was almost killed by his actions and had a witness to the event.

So yes, I'm angry when I see drunk/hit and run drivers get kid-glove treatment through a settlement that is unnecessary. Prosecutors using a settlement, dropping legit charges so they don't have to do their job and go to court.

If you're charging a suspect with a count and you can uphold it in court, then take it to court.


"....And Mr. Trudeau continues to be popular in international forums, such as the NATO and G7 summits he attended this week...."
.
.
.

Check the international media...Bloomberg yesterday left Trudeau off the greeting as well as intro speech round-up from the G-6 leaders. Yes, G-6.

Yes, if "Tiger Beat', or "Teen Vogue" were covering the summit, Trudeau would be front and centre, but the external (adult) world has moved beyond the novelty of a father/son PM, and is back to focusing on real news, not celebrity update....


trlumfant, a simple question for you, did you make your way to China recently?


I'd defer to the author who is an actual educator.
Glad mine is almost out.


Well, Trump needs a war and this looks like the one.


What about non-violent offenses, like the mentioned example of someone who trespasses to get out of the cold? I assume you wouldn't advocate for the death penalty in that case. So wouldn't you want them to figure out why that person is destitute and try to fix the problem, if they are going to be in custody anyway?
As to DNA, don't believe everything you see on TV. In real life, DNA evidence is usually a messy, inconclusive  chemical analysis where there is always a chance of a false match.


Doubt it.


Dogs aren't machines. All the documentation is on http://helpsleddogs.org. People with common sense know that dogs can't run 1000 miles without suffering greatly.


I work for a company that everyday helps the victims of revenge posting.  I am a bit concerned the author focused much of the piece on youth.  While I agree that the damage done to young women is profound and deadly. The stories of Amanda Todd an Rehtaeh Parsons are difficult and heart wrenching to be certain.  However the most significant amount of revenge posting is by and with adults.  It is adults that do most of the naked online sharing.  It is the parents of girls that are ultimately responsible for the rise in revenge posting, not the youth.  Parents are not only responsible for teaching their children "no" but they must stop the activity themselves.  Children learn from role models in their life.  Children and teenagers learned sexting, sending and asking for inappropriate images from their parents, uncles, dads etc. When speaking at schools as to the effects of cyber bullying it is the teachers that ask for help after not the students.


As the priest shortage continues it is becoming more obvious that celibacy has trumped the availability of Mass and the Eucharist to the people of God in the minds of our church leaders.  Unfortunately, given the intransigence of the last 1700 years there will be no hierarchical movement to change this during our lifetimes.  Judging from the past, the future will simply bring more of the same as more and more of the laity feel that their spiritual needs have been minimized by a Church seeking to continue its grasp on sacerdotal control under the guise of the questionable "holiness" of celibacy as opposed to the "holiness" matrimony.  The unspoken and unbroken barricade is not celibacy, because there are married priests. IT IS CONTROL and the refusal and lack of faith and trust in the Spirit to let go just a little of it.


Agree with SA.  Crack down on drugs and alchhol.  This is a real mess for Hawaii.


......I must go get my Rangers gear ready for tonight....I hope no one runs into Fairey Price tonight..


And Chuck & Eric play the victim card right on cue.   After posting for years as an alt-left female under the moniker JJP58, this is not surprising.


That's why climate change is the better term...but the globe literally is warming with record average temps year after year. This causes more volatile weather cycles. Just like what we're seeing locally this winter.


WHAT PART OF "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" IS TOO HARD FOR LIBERALS TO UNDERSTAND? . WA STATE IS A LOST CAUSE.AND HAS BEEN SINCE FIRST NOTICED IN 1935 WHEN POSTMASTER GENERAL NOTED "THE SOVIET OF WASHINGTON"..


Imagine away. Since the people you refer to do not exist, imagining them is all you can do.


It seems a remarkably acute characterization of Mr Trump's persona - at least.


Wouldn't that be just a form of surrender and letting the bullies win, Bud ?


"...but the practice continued in different areas."

BlueHeron: In the free world, as it were, one never hears of the practice. One never, for example, hears of US Orthodox  women deacons in Orthodox parishes. Nor in Western Europe, Eastern or Russia. You note that there are some nuns ordained deacons in monasteries; that in the Armenian Church (Oriental) images of "a husband and wife deacon team" surface. Big deal! But at the recent Pan Orthodox council on the island of Crete, the women's diaconate was not listed at all as a priority, as something to be promoted. Something is awry in the whole thing. Hopefully, the commission called by Francis will review Fitzgerald's work, among others, and clarify what global Orthodoxy does not seem to be able to. I know Orthodoxy likes to distance itself from the "Churches of the Reformation," churches of the second millennium, but in this issue (women's diaconate) both groups might find common ground.


Yes, research, Kyoki.

You're half right to say that the SCC said that "The Court also ruled no absolute duty for Canada to repatriate a prisoner held aboard."

They actually said:

"The appropriate remedy in this case is to declare that K’s Charter rights were violated, leaving it to the government to decide how best to respond in light of current information, its responsibility over foreign affairs, and the Charter."

The Harper government's decision on how to to that:  nothing. It left him in Guantanamo for another two+ years.

The important thing about that 2010 case is that it confirmed the federal governments liability in Khadr's damages suit- the most important issue in that case.  The Harper government could have settled in 2006, and should have settled in 2010, but did not, thereby increasing the eventual damages.


Harper was heavily criticized regarding the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act.


RFK's brother signed an order to withdraw from Vietnam in October 1963 when the politics supported escalation.  Respectfully, you are misinformed.  JFK had been to Vietnam in 1951 and realized the French would likely lose.  In 1954, he was the politician in Congress denouncing the Eisenhower / Nixon / Dulles brothers plan to send nukes to Vietnam to help the French (who were losing at Dien Bien Phu).  If JFK had been allowed to stay in office the escalation in Vietnam would not have happened.


This Interesting article allows the Globe shape public opinion. I sense a conflict of interest by the Globe. Judges speaking out with personal opinions is a goldmine for the Globe to either agree with the opinion or hang the judge. Judges are people and people have different opinions.

The two questions that I have for the Globe are: what do you think was lost in the Senate investigation by judges speaking privately; and would more or less opinions be expressed in public hearings. I don’t see the Globe showing judgement in publishing this article.


When I look at my activity it's telling me you responded, but I don't see your response.

So what era was it a utopia?  You said, "the city has taken a nosedive over the past 20 years."  You considered it utopic prior to 1997?

Well, the violent crime rate was higher all through 1990s than it is now.  So crime has actually improved in Colorado Springs over the last 20 years.

Maybe it's the vagrancy issue that has you all upset.  Sorry, I don't have any stats on that.


I believe that we should also respect the religious convictions of the folks in Bountiful BC, where they believe in polygamy. What could be wrong with that??


15 cop cars over at this house right now (11/1/17), police with guns drawn.  Literally 50 feet from a Sunnycrest Elementary bus stop.  JOHNNY HORN is the owner who never has to be held accountable for the drug dealing people that he has live there.  The Mayors office and Police Department has accomplished nothing in the 15+ years that the neighborhood has been dealing with this problem house.  CAN ANYONE HELP??


Dag nab it, we are all adults here and I should have been able to read dragon's comment.  Must have been ewwwwwwww hahaha.


Interesting that your reporter goes to the trouble of mentioning that Diabetes Canada receives funding from manufacturers of nonnutritive sweeteners, but does not appear to have bothered asking whether the University of Manitoba’s George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation or the individual researchers who conducted the study received direct or indirect funding from the powerful international sugar lobby.


Step one: UN get your ass in there with an army and take out all combatants. Step 2: repatriot all the refugees back from all over the world to help rebuild the place. Step 3: govern country from the UN as punishment for not being able to settle your issues peacfully. Repeat this process whereever there are problems in the world. You want Globalization then this is how to do it.


Yes, of course some people need and use trucks. The problem is the other 99% who are victims of lifestyle marketing. How much money do the big three spend on truck advertising versus developing more practical and efficient vehicles?


Do you honestly expect a fair and impartial ruling based the "investigation" of Trump and his campaign, by attorneys who supported and contributed the Democrat party and specifically Hillary Clinton's campaign? Seriously? You don't see any type of conflict in this "investigation"?


I think that Trumps bringing politics back to the people has reduced the sort of fascism that the political elites in America were bringing in.


Yep, if his name was Daryl Dixon, he'd probably still be alive right now.


No way.  A battery isn't going to last ten years . Don't risk your life on a battery lasting that long. Replace them every six months to a year.  Better to be safe than sorry. I would hate to hear about you in the paper .


NK has nukes, long range missles and a submarine that can transport them.  It's not a question of "IF" they will attack us, but "WHEN" will they attack.


Fiendishly clever retort. Right up there with "Says you!"

Best to use a naturopath. They both prescribe and sell their "medicines" with no conflict of interest recognized from their college or the government.


had  np years back at va suggest waiting til later in year was best for me regarding protection. maybe was because of my advancing years. not sure, but that's what i've always practiced since. so nov/dec i i get my annual many shot list updated. ymmv.


So is this a paid position as a commissioner?


I agree, as a retiree I consider myself and most of my age group as part of the "tax base". However this will not necessarily be true in the next 20 years when people without pensions or savings will be retiring. There is some kind of disconnect in all of this.


Anchorage is none of those things.

Never leave home without the ability to defend yourself. What exactly is wrong with that statement? Not everyone lives in a nice cul-de-sac.


Alright, I'll presume good faith since you've responded (this will take a couple posts), but capitalism is not merely a system where private individuals own the means of production. It is a specific social relation between wage-labor and capital, under conditions of systemic market dependence. Defining capitalism purely in terms of who owns the means of production neglects a vast body of scholarship working with a far more robust and systemic description of capital's "laws of motion," and reduces it to a quibble over property rights. Even if we replaced individual private ownership at scale with cooperatives, systemic market dependence remains, i.e. I still have to get a job and secure a paycheck or starve.


Ussibelli (spelling) coal is a mega coal mine and wants to expand into valley.


A liberal coalition is being formed because of Gorsuch? Give me a break. The libs have been seducing the right into falling for baloney and now they can't. That's all that there is. Soon it be even more difficult for the faulty thinking left when we get another Justice that is even more right. They set themselves up for this these last 10 years, or more, beginning with how they bashed Bush, then you have to pass the bill to know what's in it, then the failures and lies and attacks, there is no reason for the existence of the left except that God has his plan which somehow includes adversaries that must be overcome. Praise him that we are overcoming, no matter the resistance, foolishness, hated jealousy and every form of evil that accompanist it.


(1) "...Would Canadians really want our films and TV shows to have to tick the boxes of a government-mandated matrix of some politician’s idea of “Canadian values”?..."

(2) "...It’s probably best to leave these decisions to the artists and producers..."

(1) YES !  (2) NEVER !

The Electoral College requires you win the largest part of the vote in differing geographies, to avoid a large majority in a tight geography from dominating.

I don't agree with/like Trump but he won 39 states, and 85% of the counties of the USA.

The Democrats pushed their vote % in places like Philadelphia...winning a seat with 90% of the vote, counts the same as 51%.

Canada? You could win 175 seats (majority) crafted from the lowest population seats, and only get say 40% of the vote in each. Simple math says that you could fashion a "majority" government from something like 17% of the votes cast.

(say the bottom 175 in pop have around 40% of the total pop, and you win each of those seats  with 40% of the votes cast - 40% being a typical win in a 3+ candidate riding. Voila - a 16 - 17% "majority". In fact, even today, take out the seats a government doesn't win, they are ruling with a small % of the votes cast - even far less than the sub - 40% majorities Canada typically gets. )

Don't have to take it from me, talk to any business owner in North Pole. Actually all dollars spent in Alaska add to GDP, which would include salaries paid by the government that are spent here.


1) The more things change, the more they are same.

2) You deny nothing you happen to agree with.

3) And you don’t have to read critiques of your comments.

Yes  their will be NO NDP vote next time around ,  NO Kathleen, just high debt, soaring housing cost,  lies and broken promises.
Should make for great media!!!!!
Bye bye status quo, your 39 percent wouldn't happen again.


I don't know if the rat lung worm money was diverted as retaliation, but it's high time Tokuda is removed as WAM chair.  She has become arrogant, misusing her power and position for personal means.  As she grand-standed on the rail funding issue and launched a mean-spirited attack on gov. Ige's proposed budget,  I wondered if she was setting herself up to run for governor.   She has no one to blame for there downfall but herself.


All Christians, Jews and other religious denominations are angered and will retaliate every time another Muslim demand is made and honoured.     This is beyond ridiculous that Muslims are allowed to force their religion down our throats.   This is a very serious situation and there will be more violent attacks when our government refuses to curb this activity.   Muslims can take time from their days at school to pray, yet our Lord's prayer has been dismissed as being controversial.    Yes, this is going to get very ugly and could easily turn into civil war. That comment is not outrageous.  Muslims have come from that very climate and they didn't leave that on the shores behind them.   This is just the beginning of a rally.


Those materials will be quite interesting.  With a 4-2 vote on the review board, I'm guessing there's some question regarding the actions of the officer.  Policies of transparency enhance accountability and accountability leads to more responsible action on the part of police officers.

I'm not sure on this case....I think some witnesses did video the incident...However, I'm a strong advocate for "body-cams" for officers.  They provide that accountability and protection for citizens AND the police officers.    Gary

Facebook revealed on Sept. 6 that it had found 470 pages and profiles linked to the Russian troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency.
Facebook on Monday turned over more than 3,000 of the Russia-linked advertisements from its site over to the Senate and House intelligence committees.

The ads and accounts were created to push false information and lies in order to amplify divisive political issues across the political spectrum, including gun rights, gay rights issues and the Black Lives Matter movement.


Canada did away with VISA requirements for Mexican immigrants today. How's that for moving into the future?


You should hear Kaaihue's dumb stupid psycho presentation on Hawaii's Election Fraud. Real stupid!! She's an embarassment to Hawaii, someone tell her to change her last name, it's shameful! This is the reason why Hawaiians don't get involved in politics, it's shameful!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dowO-NhwT2Q&t=20s


I think most people's minds are made up long before election day, and something like Comey's last-minute "bombshell" (which was a dud) won't sway voters who have already decided that the anti-Trump or anti-Clinton hysteria is a bunch of "hooey". Have any significant number of minds changed over the last three weeks? I doubt it.

Early voting benefits a lot of people; the elderly who can't stand in long lines and may have mobility problems; the working people who just can't take a half-day off to trudge down to a polling place; the person who must vote in a strange neighborhood where unfriendly or even armed persons are "watching" the polls; the person who wants to visit grandchildren in another state; on and on.

Frankly, the voting day that Goldberg depicts is a Norman Rockwell fantasy that, for millions of Americans, didn't exist and wasn't available. Frankly, Goldberg is a charlatan, peddling snake oil.


What flavour of kool aid are you drinking? Sorry,  swallowing.


Do you pay attention to what women wear? I do, and I see more women combining head scarves with typical Western wear (I don't mean cowboy clothes, I mean Western as opposed to Middle East clothing). There was a similar fashion in Eastern styles a century ago. I don't know about hot, the loose robes worn by both women and men look as though they might be quite cool.


Here is why making sure voters are legally able to vote matters.

Like the Supreme Court seat the republicans have chosen to keep empty for nearly a year, I'd rather see the presidency sit empty than have Conald Trump occupy it.


There is nothing wrong in attacking "junk science".  Mulroney did not question this.  What he does question is the belief, or even the certainty, that science can give all of life's answers.


Why are you putting words in women's mouths, "Nah...?"
It bespeaks your patriarchy.

"And trust and good faith from Indigenous communities are vital to this process, otherwise why even bother? You could just reprint various reports and commissions that have been held over the years, which now sit dusty on shelves."

Lizzy Acker is another lefty nut job looking for something to be offended by. She would fit in well with all the "white hipster faux guilt" types here in PDX. (yes, I stole the hipster line from a Facebook poster)  Perfect fit for this story.


We have seen this before, stop normalizing. That's my diversity.
You had a child. George W. Bush said we had to invade Iraq or else there would be atomic war. Your child volunteered, went, and died in the dust. You then found out the lies and the corruption that allowed the Republicans to loot the treasure at the expense of your lovely child. You wondered why no one fought to stop the war.
We see another Republican in office, there by the skin of the electoral college. He is ignoring intelligence briefings and rattling sabres. You have a neighbor with a child of military age. You tell him to be skeptical, very skeptical, and not to allow his child to go to Trump's war in...(Iran, Korea, wherever).
The lives of the poor are as nothing to the posturing politicians who love war and the war industry.
I mourn for my country, taken over by a Putin stooge.
I mourn for the coming war dead, as America is stampeded into another war by all those Marine generals.

What one woman may consider a frivolous flirt that she finds complimentary, a  lesbian may consider an outrageous transgression of unthinkable sexual horror.  The act itself may be perfectly  benign, but the reaction completely hostile. How are police to balance the two attitudes towards one act?  There needs to be a standard of what defines sexual assault based on intent and  definable  harm, not merely the emotional  reaction to it.


"If it feels good, do it." Whatever this belief is, it isn't Catholic. Nothing about picking up your cross and following Him.

Why should you tell someone risk eternal hell fire for momentary pleasure in the grand scheme of things?


ask any trooper in private what happens with these " subsistence" caribou. the waste is incredible. in the spring, when they start thawing they just drag them onto the ice to float away. problem solved!!


Remember when Joey Meyer and Glenn Braggs were tagged by the Brewers as well!  He's better than a 3rd Rd. pick!  Would love to see what he decides to do!  Congrats to the Harrison `Ohana!

How many people will stop off in Creswell?

And why?


The labor market saw a solid bounce back in April after a disappointing March as the number of jobs created blew past expectations while the unemployment rate hit its lowest level in 10 years.  The data suggest the economy is set for a spring rebound after a weak first quarter, and pushed Wall Street’s odds for a June rate rise to more than 80%.


Are people really considering living in 399 sqft for the rest of their lives? I'd think having your kitchen counter double as an ironing board gets really old after a while. If people want to live in a tiny house, more power to them, but this seems like a fad people will buy into and in 2 or 3 years the charm will wear off and most will be back to looking for 1200sqft luxury apartments.


Thank you Sam for a little perspective. I love how people are so quick to compare their petty little actions as war.


I don't know enough about that to be sure why Russia is considered our enemy---and neither does anyone else who has time to post here.  I do agree in general that it's usually a good idea to get along with whomever you deal with (friends, enemies, business associates, spouses, neighbors), but that's not my call regarding Russian relations.

I know that in big important organizations like Congress, the Justice Department, the White House, etc., there's a lot of top secret information you and I can only speculate on.  Within these organizations, transparent communication is essential to keeping things running smoothly and nobody going rogue with their own self-serving agenda.

When Flynn and Sessions LIED about their contact with Russian personnel, that untruth alone compromised whatever system is in place.  Agree?

Then you could add in whatever secret communications that were so huge they HAD to lie about it.  Do you have a theory as to what was discussed and why they lied about it?


Personally I would not vote for Trump anymore then Hillary. However the facts are that a number of Blacks as well democrats support Trump and they have or are voting for him. But this on going LIBERAL LEFT INTOLERANT HATE hiding behind and falsely labeling  bigotry, racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia with everyone that does fit into the liberal narrow world view is completely juvenile horse hockey.


Anybody who relies on Fakebook or the WAPO/DP cabal for news (political or otherwise) (even though "otherwise" is on life support) deserves the geniusity they will thus display. (and write comments here) (after they check Facebook!)

The Democrat Party lost big because of socialized medicine, open borders and contempt for taxpayers. The Republican Party has also adopted that proven model for LOSING.

I get the distinct impression that banks purposely buy the crappiest cameras available on purpose.  The $39.00 camera I bought from Amazon takes clearer images than most bank photos.


That speech sounded more like a grocery list and was a far cry from uplifting in these times.


I'm no fan of Megyn Kelly, but I hope she will do a good job on this interview, although I suspect few will watch it.  It's sad that so many people refuse to listen to ideas that are contrary to their own.  I don't like Alex Jones, and I don't believe his conspiracy theories, but I want to know what he has to say.  I think he is wrong about 9/11 and Sandy Hook, but that doesn't mean he's wrong about evertything.


You like it, Boris?


New message?  I don’t believe the truth will set you free, lol


what a lib troll bunch of nonsense, harris turned ontario around after the disaster of the ndp, ontario grew huge in its economy, over 900,000 NET private sector jobs, balanced books for years, since then the libs have totaly destroyed the good work harris did and you are grateful for that? man you need help


The mounting campaign of a self-aggrandizing ex-president to qualify his pitiable performance is barely tolerable; the campaign of this also-ran defies explanation.  There will be no cheese with this whine.


Just curious: Robert C. Hansen murdered at least 17, and possibly as many as 21 young Alaskan women during the decade of 1973 through 1983.  Was he Polynesian?  Didn't appear to be in the photos I could find.  So what were you saying about "...none of this BS in Anchorage in the 80's..."?

So what's your complaint?  That Polynesians aren't actually killing folks, but just assaulting them?  SPEAK UP!


Spelling lesson:

Hypocrite is spelled K i m m e l, but it's usual spelling is l i b e r a l.


Emboldened by Trump not respecting the law, Bibi and his gang are only too happy to follow suit in the hopes that Trump will back them unconditionally. Maybe, but this boldness could also seriously backfire and the consequences would be dire.


I'd argue that, yes, men's soccer is generally more watched, but that a significant reason for that is because men's games are more /available/. I'd watch the hell out of women's games if they were more readily accessible, but they don't get nearly as much air time or advertising. And there's some fairly strong evidence (see world cup viewership numbers) that others would also watch more if it was more available, at least in the US. So a ratio of revenue:pay isn't a great way to measure "fairness", either, as it can be heavily influenced by biases in the overseeing body regarding how many revenue-earning opportunities the team even gets.
.
There's a big Catch-22 for the women's team, where they're not given air time and visibility because they're 'not attracting viewers', but it's far more difficult to grow your base without that air time and visibility. And even when they ARE given the chance and then CRUSH the ratings, people still respond with "no one wants to watch women's games".


It probably was a local.  There are way more stupid Alaskans than stupid tourists.


This idea of Senator Hoffman starts a debate that has bedeviled most of our Rural and Remote Villages for 50 years. High cost energy. This is an opportunity to look at regional grids to be ready to accept energy that could be provided by the Donlin mine using natural gas. High cost energy for villages across Alaska is one of the biggest obstacles to economic development along with very high transportation costs. This proposed legislation deserves further debate and will hopefully become a catalyst for lowering the cost of energy in Rural and Remote Alaska.


So far ten readers agree, and one, Want2bfree doesn't.  You've got to admit, she's consistent. Consistently wrong.


It is waste not waist, if you are going to whine about what the governor is doing at least spell check.


Hmm. RAM couriers have been linked to Cyril Beeka, the Cape Town crime lord...


Thanks for staying away!!!!!


I've been one of his supporters that really wanted him to be given the shot to start this year and see if he'd rise to the next level like it seemed like he might.  Instead, he's really regressed the last 3 games.  I'm now ready to say it's time to give up on thinking he may be anything more than a stop-gap starter until we can find a true starter.

But with as bad as this OL remains, it probably wouldn't matter much even if we did have a true starter at QB.  We'd just get him killed anyway.


Wake Island and Hawaiin islands are part of US terroritory.  This was in international waters - not China's territory.

Not the same thing at all.


Frankly, it looks like I win again. Keep trying peeps! You are up against the finest competition. 2nd place is not that bad.


Actually, that sounds like a fine and just idea. Instead of filling prisons with people (and these kids would be there for five or six decades) and providing very high paying jobs for people who enjoy subjugating others in a controlled environment, we could actually teach these young thugs a thing or two and make an old man's injury mean something.

My mother's tribe used to do that sort of punishment - make you responsible for the family of the man you killed, make you work to pay for the property you destroyed, that sort of thing. Historic accounts say it worked pretty well, especially since -- at least initially -- you were ostracized from pretty much any other community activities. You were essentially a slave for a period of time and then, as you proved you could be trusted, you were given more freedom. As a rehabilitation tool, it seems to have worked much better than our current incarceration system that just teaches people how to be better criminals.


Assault on the media is a MUST to bring truth back to the public.
Bias agenda driven news is a tool not news. The fake news and brainwashing news must stop!

Mr. President you own the FCC right now. Time for some rules to change and fines to be implemented for FAKE NEWS! Freedom of the press is one thing, freedom to commit perjury to the public is not freedom of the press. It’s time we hold the news networks accountable to their actions. This is malpractice!

Since the news can receive leaked top secret information, post such information putting people on trial as such, they need to abide by the court system laws. When they commit perjury they HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE!! Take their license away, prosecute each little conniving reporter, editor, CEO and company individually under the new rules!


Wikipedia is not the fount of all truthful knowledge. Info. from there needs to be taken with a grain of salt


There's been a lot of "creative" accounting under the Liberals.  It will be interesting to see what the new government uncovers.....


Another Trumpette proves that they lack the humour gene....


"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

So if the Church hierarchy would rather have no liturgy, no communion, than to allow women or married folks to be priests (or, simply, any baptized person to be a presider), then their hearts clearly must not be with the communion but with their sexism and prejudices.


Yeah Mr. Dalton, motleycrew has forgotten all about segregation and how he benefitted from it as a white American. The least African-Americans could do is pretend that American society isn't racist. Can't you just make white racist American feel better about who and what they are? You know, like Trump has.


Does this mean no more transfer payments to Quebec?


Omar Khadr got his Canadian citizenship by being born in Toronto.


In your belief that “marches are only about expressing hate and intolerance”, has it occurred to you that you may be in error, that those marching against Sharia are fearful of the hate and intolerance of those who - - in the name of a religion whose very name means SUBMIT! - - would run down crowds of pedestrians with large trucks, hack innocent bystanders to death with knives or detonate massive amounts of explosives at a public concert?

And clearly what the so called counter demonstrators want to do is not to exercise their First Amendment right of free speech in opposition to the pro-Constitution faction, but to deny that same right to their fellow citizens of a pro-Constitution persuasion.

Do you really believe America in the name of “tolerance” should give free rein to those who believe they are called to "evangelize" with a sword to force others to SUBMIT?


when will they activate the GUARD?


I'd be much more interested in what a long time public defender or successful private defender has to say on this matter.  If I wanted to be lobbied by a prosecutor, who needs the cooperation of the police to get their job done......I'd be gung ho about this bit of fluff.


The federal government should just shut up and pay the bill. Schatz should demand answers on why they are asking questions. Pay the bill. Obama said!


It appears that the saturation point has been reached in this particular market; that is the number of people with the disposable income to patronize these establishments has been met or exceeded and increasing prices given the large number of competitors is not an option.

In order to improve profit margins restaurant owners seem to believe that the primary solution is to drive down wage costs using temporary foreign workers.
In such a case taxpayers will have to underwrite the social supports required for these employees who won't be able to survive without them in a high cost city; this is unacceptable.

There will certainly be attrition in this industry and those who survive will find creative ways to attract customers and to find ways to improve working conditions and wages.

The fittest will survive and prosper; ain't that how capitalism is supposed to work?


This Country just keeps getting stranger and stranger. It's sure not the Canada I grew up in.


I agree with almost everything you wrote, Jean.  I don't want to see my neighbors or friends or loved ones devastated by healthcare costs, either.  I wish everyone had the kind of healthcare SCF and ANTHC offer.   Everyone could have it, as evidenced by the all the other developed countries that offer single-payer, government funded healthcare to their citizens.  Every other developed nation pays a fraction of our costs and exceed our statistics on morbidity and mortality by huge numbers.  We are the lowest among all developed nations for most major measurements of health, but we pay the highest costs by far.  This IS us.  Things are this way because of who and what we are.   If enough people wanted different, we would have different.


Ontario is projecting to collect 6-8 billion dollars in five years through Cap & Trade. What do the Liberals think this is going to do to the economy and unemployment? People will not be able to afford to spend money.There is no mention that hydro rates will spike. This fraud will be detrimental to Ontario and Canada. These politicians need to ask themselves why Australia cancelled their Carbon Tax?


The PM wants to have at least one article in the new agreement of which he has a basic understanding of the concept.


Thank you for this excellent review, Marian Ronan!
Yes to Phan's concept of "Multiple Magisteria" to include "those of the theologians, the laity, the poor, and believers of non-Chrisitan religions (which) must also be considered to achieve authoritative teaching."  Phan might even add women here since women's input is so consistently ignored by the Magesterium.

Great point here:  "Just as Jesus Christ humbled himself by becoming human (Philippians 2), Christianity is called to a kenotic (self-emptying) theology in which it renounces its assumed superiority over other religions. The mission of the church, then, is not "to the gentiles" but "with the gentiles," collaborating with members of other religions to bring about the reign of God."  https://RiteBeyondRome.com


I was just commenting on the idea that any increase in the cost of production will create an equivalent rise in prices, based on an actual recent increase in cost for me.

So, I agree that every step in the supply chain is potentially vulnerable to cost increases, although even if production costs rise it may not get passed on. On the other hand, 5% of jobs are minimum wage, and many of those are restaurant/retail, so the number of minimum wage jobs that touch a supply chain can be high (agriculture) to low (specialized tool construction).


"We know how to do this."  What?  Embrace?  Welcome?

It is so - o - o - o important for NCR to have comments that are Civil, so we are saddled with that.  Little is remembered of this editorial but the 'not-civil' name-calling and hyperbole.  But we know for certain that such is entertainment and it sells newspapers, doesn't it?  Hardly an 'embrace' or a 'welcome.'  I would have much preferred a piece that is dignified, analytical, and respectful of the office, and gives me facts on what has actually been put in place, legally.  And dispense with the hand-wringing and shrieking and grandstanding.  If there is a point to the editorial I guess I missed it amongst all the bombast.  Bombast is ultimately polarizing and nonproductive.

People have known for many months that a Muslim travel ban might be coming and they couldn't be prepared for it?


Exactly! Maybe we'll get to see Brady's new backup in the 4th quarter. Here's how bad our team is. If we had switched coaching staffs with the Patriots, we got Belichick and his crew for the whole week, and they got VJ and his staff all week...we'd still lose to the Pats. BUT we'd get to see shots of Belichick on the Denver sideline with a look on his face that said, "My aching back, how did this organization draft some of these guys?" Plus, we'd get shots of Vance on their sideline with an expression that said, "Man, I got to get me some short white wide receivers."


It asserts the claim that we are nothing without god, similar to Trump's claim that he would repeal and replace the ACA quickly.


Sorry to say but I apparently missed that. Care to enlighten us?


I don't really care about the individual protesting but when a coach orders his entire team to stay in the locker room as protest because of how he feels, that's crossing the line.

Steelers = trash organization which carries down to their intolerable fan base.  At least there's one person with honor on that team...one who actually risked his life for others, not like the spoiled millionaires pouting in the locker room.


"You should be willing to chip in for state government and services, as I am". You are free to chip in all you want, by sending checks payable to the state Treasury and turning down your PFD. I must ask how often have you done this? If never, than why, if you are so guilt ridden over being provided all these free state services?


Why doesn't anyone know how many jobs went to TFWs?  Why are the Liberals so disinterested in tracking those numbers?

I would say its because Trudeau and his gang don't want Canadians to know. Why do you think?

And yes, I did ask similar questions during the Harper years.  More people show do so, while there are still Canadians with jobs.


Meanwhile the bond market is tanking, as it sees deficit spending and inflation ahead.

Well I have said it before but I will say it again, the longer this goes the greater evidence of a false flag with the FBI's participation.  It seems more than probable given the FBI's penchant for placing provocateurs among targeted groups, that this Bundy thing has a script that goes all the way to back to Washington DC.  Note how the FBI seems to think that the media and locals of Burns are the problem not the "occupation".  And it is a little unclear why the state police are not taking action and what about the Burns police department?  Ultimately the goal appears to be to create artificial conflicts among different citizens so that united beneficial cooperation is off the table in favor of violence and greater federal control.


People who rent out rooms and homes on AirBnB are operating businesses. They are getting revenue that should be treated as business revenue, i.e., pay excise tax. They should be subject to transient accommodation taxes like hotels and other places that house visitors for pay, perhaps at a different rate. If insurance is required, they should get it. If licensing or registering is required, they should do it. In other words, since they operate as a business, they should be treated like any other business. That's legal and fair. If the Legislature or Council thinks they should get exemptions, then let them pass a bill for that. (I don't work for the travel or hotel industry. I used to have a business and pay ET. I think they should be operate fairly and equally.)


Comments open eh? That already tells you an Awful lot about the Suspect.


More importantly:  does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?


Some Republicans are talking about 'ghost voters' who haven't voted since Reagan but will show up on Nov. 8th and sweep Trump into office. It is more likely the ghost voters that show up will be those who are mortified at the prospect of a Trump presidency and will give Clinton a landslide victory.


Think what the ACA could have been if Republicans cared more about governing and the American people, rather than throwing them under the bus to pander to a racist, misogynistic base.

I think Lighthizer is the wrong person to be leading these negotiations for the US. He is too abrasive and unbending. These characteristics may work when he is dealing with steel magnates but now it is voters actually sitting across the table from him now.

If he managed by some miracle to get Mexican negotiators to accept a deal on his terms it will be portrayed next year, during their election, as the rape of Mexico by America and rejected.

Similarly with Canada. We look for improvements to NAFTA because it is not working so well for us either. Why accept terms that only make things worse?

I think our negotiators have the measure of the man. This will be a long and tedious set of negotiations.

If Lighthizer is serious about wanting a deal he had better reconsider the end date again because at this rate he will be negotiating well into 2019. That or change his style, which is unlikely.

A leopard cannot change its spots.


Hillary's long, long past caught up with her. Bernie hilariously, in his younger years, was too lazy for a commune and got kicked out.


And while it was true that the furs in Europe commanded a large price tag, the axes and weapons that the FN obtained by trade were much better tools than that they could fashion from stone and perhaps raw copper.


Interesting information and I thank you for that info but what does this have to do with Hitler being a left wing ideologue? Ted Bundy was not a mass murderer in the same league as Hitler, Stalin or other left wing ideologues.


I am certainly no politician, nor a military strategist of any kind.  But, with Kim backing down, now seems like the perfect time for Trump to come out with a statement along the lines of, "Thank you for reconsidering your plans.  We are open to negotiations to resolve the current situation peacefully".

I understand the possibility of that is somewhere between little and none, but to me, it seems like the perfect time to attempt some political discussions.


who are we going to blame this good news for?

Sled dogs are exempted from an animal control ordinance, just as they are exempted from state animal cruelty laws. That's the problem. They shouldn't be exempted from anything. They deserve the same protections. If a dog is nuisance barking, there is an issue with how the dog is being cared for.


A few minutes with Google got me this: If we chose to pay down the entire PERS unfunded liability over a decade by adding a tax to motor vehicle fuel, alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages and divided it equally among only those three items, we're looking at forty cents per gallon of fuel, forty cents per alcoholic drink and twenty cents per non-alcoholic drink.

We should perhaps add a comparable tax to marijuana and drive-through food and drink, which brings all those down by a 40% so we're looking at
less than a quarter per gallon of fuel and per alcoholic drink and just over a dime per non-alcoholic drink.

None of those are going to get standing ovations (what tax does?). Can we at least admit that much of the consumption shown is luxury in nature?  I just did this little back of the envelope to point out that this debt is payable. There's really no way to pretty up a debt that is roughly $10k per adult in the state no matter what color lipstick one uses.


Kilmer's vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) or "fast-Track" on the Trans Pacific Partnership is the reason I won't support him. He clearly is following the president's lead and will vote for the TPP. This disasterous trade deal will further the impoverishment of American workers in service to global capitalism.


Huh. He was 15. Under Canadian law, you're not considered adult enough to drive, drink, vote, smoke, leave school,  or marry at 15. I'm sure I missed a few. Why then  is it that he was considered adult enough to be an enemy combatant and not a child soldier? I support Omar Khadr 100%. He was railroaded by an incompetent American kangaroo court.


Hate  to say it. but I agree.  While I support Obama overall, sometimes it seems he is tone deaf to certain situations, a little "too cool."
This is one of  those times.

And  all our best to the suffering citizens of Louisiana, a state so far away in so many ways.

Add this to the proposal to privatize Air Traffic Control which will be paid for by fuel and other fees that will damage general aviation (non commercial) and there will be no air service at all for rural areas and small municipalities.

Basket,  I disagree with your interpretation of the deferral. I think the deferral results from the difference in the corporate tax paid annually by the corporation and what is paid when the capital is removed from the corporation.  Once the capital is removed from the corporation, it is taxed at the nominal rate. The benefit is that money left in the corporation can be invested and earn additional returns (thus paying additional taxes - capital gains).  Taxes are paid in full, there is just a delay between when the revenue is earned by the corporation  and when the individual pays the income tax on them, similar to an individual RRSP.

Every politician vetts the speech personally days before delivery.  If he is a legitimate candidate he would have known the errors or at least asked them to be fact checked.  Trump lacks knowledge and is an expert at "playing to all your fears".  IMO


Correct.  The genie's been loosed.  There are already enough weapons in the hands of Americans to arm some countries.  We must live with what we have allowed to be created, before our very eyes.  Whenever the Supreme Court can rule that words in an constitutional amendment should be disregarded, and when people buy that, we ought to know we're in trouble.

BUT, if we were to start on sensible limits today, maybe we could save some lives down the road.  Of course, that's assuming this country lasts long enough, which many of us don't believe will happen.  We are taking ourselves down, people.


Alaskans, this is the new union tactic in a very conservative state, get a liberal/democrat to run as an independent to fool as many voters as possible and steal an election.  Beltrami has already endorsed Hillary Clinton....the most anti oil candidate to every run for president.   Alaska without oil will look like a third world country....simply not enough people working to pay Alaskas bills without it.   Don't be fooled, this guy will have taxes through the roof and your PFD gone if he gets his way


I think a little history needs to be explored. The first political act in my life was to orchestrate a building moratorium throughout the city of Poulsbo.

I'm not conflicted any more, just as good.  Was 4 months ago, perhaps.  Not now.  Just disappointed, and a tad angry.  And I suspect I'm not alone.  That's cold comfort, though.  Especially when I see the leadership of the NDP and the roster of could-be, would-be Conservative candidates.


Hello Owl,

I see, so you are in favour of having Canadian laws being such that for any non-Inuit writer here who wants to write a novel about the Inuit, the writer must first pay two million dollars, the "asking price", to an Inuit literary group, and for a non-Japanese poet here who wants to write a Haiku, the law you favour would require that the poet first pay two million dollars, the "asking price", to a Japanese Canadian literary group.

Thank you for clarifying, in the laws you favour, your preference for the term "asking price" rather than the phrase "being forced to pay".

Look, regardless what words you prefer to name the money requirement in question, I am opposed to the situation you embrace.


Wiliki, you are full of baloney.  Prove your claim or admit you are lying.


I have to tell you, Kurgan, that I am so grateful for your continued posts.  They are  rays of much needed sunshine.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Poor tillerson finds himself having to constantly make excuses for the bombastic buffoon currently occupying the white house.  Trump, meanwhile, seems determined to ratchet up the tension, without regard for potential consequences.  He sounds more like an insecure tin pot dictator trying to be relevant than the leader of the free world.  His military advisors really need to reel him in if they can.  He is definitely not helping matters and should just STFU.

(In fact, vehicle thieves can't receive a single day of jail time unless they have a prior conviction under the current version of the bill.) Perhaps your representative would be interested in knowing your thoughts on lower sentences for these folks?


no one needs to tie Junior in knots
he is doing it himself

electoral reform Yes then No
deficit of $10 billion then $30 billion
balance budget in 4 years, Yes then No

infrastructure yes then where?
stimulus yes then None

refjugees 25,000 then 40,000

someone help untie Junior in knots


All USFWS numbers for polar bears are only estimates. It is impossible to physically count them all with existing technology or at least the way it is applied. Same story for many other endangered and threatened species world wide....


Lisa Bloom also said: Lynchings continued until the 1950s, as thousands of black Americans were hanged for offenses like “disputing with a white man.”  (A much smaller number of whites were lynched as well, often for taking the side of a black person.) Is that why you are so angry at me? I dare enter a dispute with you???? Suffice it to say "I have no umbrage with you." (Good line from the film: Gone with the wind…LOL)

I stopped reading the Globe regularly after the "unfounded series"....pure feminist one-sided propagandist garbage. Though I'd check in today to see if anything's changed....nope, not even a little bit.

Though we can empathize with your POV, don't ever think that poor people are "picked on".
Also, when you use the word "taxpayer", think closely about who that really is. The bottom 50% does not subsidize the top 50%.
There is no shame in working hard, contributing to society and then expecting to keep the majority of what you earn.
Remember this comment re: whether the NDP would raise personal income taxes?
“I am categorical on that,” he said. “Several provinces are now at the 50 per cent rate. Beyond that, you’re not talking taxation; you’re talking confiscation. And that is never going to be part of my policies, going after more individual taxes. Period. Full stop.”
Tom Mulcair made this comment in the context that Governments already receive enough money to adequately fund all of our Programs and Ministries. He, along with most of us, recognizes that Government is saddled with lousy Managers who are led by incompetent PMs, Premiers, MPs and MLAs


The most succinct summary of why the GOP keeps trying to pass this abysmal, harmful, deeply unpopular bill is that Republican members of Congress are more afraid of their donors than their constituents.


I'm very surprised the public editor used an entire column to discuss typos and editorial fixes, but not a word said about the new software running the Globe's forum.

Let me be the first to say that running an online forum isn't just a thankless task. Rather, for offering a free service to the public the provider will be constantly criticized by people who think it's their right to post abusive, libelous falsehoods on a private web site. While using an anonymous name, no less.

I've seen every iteration of the Globe's forum software since it began in 2005. This one isn't bad, although there's still some obvious bugs to fix. I'm in favour of the quid pro quo it offers: if you want to comment, you have to review other comments. I really appreciate the new forum's emphasis on civility, although it would be nice to know how that is being applied.


Over a billion people can't be simply 'fortunate'. Western companies, looking for cheap labour have found it long time ago, from India to Bangla-Desh, from Taiwan to Turkey, etc.
It took a deliberate and concentrated effort to turn such a huge country from a poor agricultural to an advanced hi-tech economy.
THAT is the reality, not yours.


You do have a point.  I am just against both.  I have been against war since the Vietnam war as I have seen how the government just lies.  But I also have been against the death penalty especially after Inouye stated that when HI did have the death penalty, most of the people killed were Hawaiian and the rest were various other minorities.  He claimed that no white person was ever put to death but I think there was one.  Fact of the matter is it is never good when government starts killing.


What a lightweight archbishop.  A joker.  Who can take anything he says, does, or prays seriously.


The plans as we can loosely see them will enrich shareholders who avoid grossly stupid narrow investment strategies.    Now you involve millions who know own IRA's not garaunteed pensions.

But about half of all Americans do not have disposable income to invest and their retirement/security comes from government distribution of our shared national wealth.   I'm fine with growing shareholder wealth but cutting government support for health and housing is unconscionable.


It's arguable as to which has been greater: the protection provided or the problems caused by the US.


Aloha,

If you contact Mr. Djou's office http://djou.com/contact/ he's very forthcoming about his stance on raising taxes to pay for the Rail. He says absolutely not! The interview where he was 'quoted' saying that was taken out of context. They asked him repeatedly the same question in different ways, ultimately "what if there were NO other options but to raise the GET and every other option was disappeared." and he said "fine, THEN I would, but that's not the reality."
He also doesn't have the resources that the Mayor does (internal numbers) to come up with an ultimate plan, but he's very open to discuss various options that we DO have. He is looking at several options, because right now several options exist and without sitting in City Hall, he isn't going to say 'This is the way we have to do it."


I certainly don't approve of such efforts to thwart enforcement of laws enacted to keep our country safe.  Prove to our lawmakers that the laws are unjust, if you feel that they are.


Where did I say any of that?
Quit acting like you're the victim and grow up. It's unmanly.


TIME for a red hat.    Make Trudeau a Drama Teacher Again


Yes keeping debt targets by tripling the spending they promised during the election.


If you think there's no manipulation taking place, particularly on the issue of the availability of qualified Canadian workers, you're kidding yourself. To stand an equal chance at good employment, tens of thousands of highly qualified Canadian IT workers, for instance, have migrated to Silicon Valley (the world's IT capital), where they're valued and appreciated, unlike at home where they're merely expendable. On a proportionate basis, qualified Canadians far outnumber Indian and Chinese IT workers in Silicon Valley. Now, of course, the Trudeau government has "eased" the rules for employers who want to hire TFWs (i.e. reducing the onus to prove a lack of qualified Canadians), which I guess reduces the necessity for deception and outright gives foreign workers prioritized access to many jobs in this country. Meanwhile, qualified and ambitious Canadians will continue to be forced to migrate to work and establish businesses elsewhere.

Mr. Facie fails to recognize, or chooses to ignore, that the question is why are we called to empathasize when a man like Scalise is shot, but neither Scalise (who will live) nor any other Republican will empathasize with the thousands of Americans who will die so that they can give themselves and their wealthy benefactors a tax cut?


Colorado getting greater by the day.  It will be 1% better when u leave don't let door hit ya on backside ...


The real problem is no insurance program is going to control the prices of services.  All you can do is manipulate how much of those cost an insurance policy will pay.  Even a great policy will limit payments to 100% of what is considered normal and ordinary charges.   All these promises are false pretenses that claim they will provide better coverage for less cost with no ill affects to you.  Really, when has such a promise ever come true on anything with insurance companies.

State's new method for predicting oil production could mean lower forecasts
 Author: Tim Bradner, Petroleum News   Updated: 9 hours ago   Published 10 hours ago
An apparent sharp drop in projected Alaska oil output in the state's most recent production forecast is due more to a change in forecast methodology than underperformance of wells and fields, officials at the state Division of Oil and Gas said.

Under the new forecast released Dec. 14, Alaska will produce an average of 490,300 barrels per day in the current fiscal year instead of the 507,100 barrels per day estimated in the most recent previous estimate made last spring.

The estimates also reduced expected output for next year, in fiscal year 2018, the 12-month period beginning July 1, from an average of 488,800 barrels per day to 455,600 in the new estimate.


It is about who has inflicted the worst damage.


You are right in that Walker and the state go for the "shock and awe" cuts to what you identified, plus troopers and incarceration.  This is done to bait people in thinking the sky is falling, so they can fall for the "broad-based" tax scam that will only propagate wasteful spending in state government.  But it is not just the R's.   Walker is (in theory) an "I".  If you want to blame someone, blame the state employee unions for having so many politicians (Walker included) on their puppet strings.  And blame state employees that pay union dues that field union corruption.


Its easy for Cruz to win when all Sanders can put forth is 1930s style economics.  Good luck Dem party.


my god you are a lib lunatic! ontario;s economy can grow 100% and it still by GDP $ would be much lower than it was before the libs came to power! with still some 250,000 FULL TIME Jobs less than when they started!,, our economy is flat and creating part time over full time you ignorant sheep,,,

wynne is the worst and most corrupt premier in ontario history


Any islander who seriously believes that yet another 2.5% annual fare increase isn’t a done deal–a raise significantly above the increases in consumer prices or social security payments–hasn’t been paying attention.

Over the last several years, our legislators have passed transportation budgets which assume that ferry fare increases will be 2.5% in the aggregate–even before WSF begins its fare-setting process.

Sadly, having public meetings is largely a waste of everyone’s time. If WSF–and our legislators–truly wanted to incorporate public comment, these meetings would occur before budgets, and fare increases, are cast in concrete.


Because ? ? ?


Well    ....a  quick fix  would be to encourage conversion of homes  to multiple units  ....and  have 2 versions of rent control ...one  for  large corporate interests  and  one for  mom and  pop rentals  ...think about it ...if  individual  owners could ,  quickly and  easily ( ie  no red tape , few regulations  and  charges )  convert part of their homes to  a rental unit  .....there would be thousands of new units available  with in months .


(part 16)
Bottom line:
Trevor finished with the 8th overall best QBR in the 4th quarter, beating out the likes of Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, and Matthew Stafford:
http://scores.nbcsports.msnbc.com/fb/leaders.asp?type=Passing&range=NFL&rank=110
I bring up this stat, because Trevor Siemian and the Broncos in the 4th quarter were typically playing from behind in a tight game, and were playing mostly out of the shotgun, a situation he will typically find himself in most of the game in the 2017 season, with better play calling and overall talent surrounding him.(not just the 4th quarter as it was in 2016)
We keep hearing that Paxton Lynch, will make tremendous growth in his second season as a player, why can't Trevor Siemian make that same growth as a second year starter, who had the whole offseason where he was fairly healthly and will only battle one qb for reps in training camp?

Twitter and all these social media companies claim to be egalitarian and open to new ideas and democratic and so on - in true Silicon Valley "saving the world" fashion.  Actually, they are even more dangerous: globalized hard core capitalists who do not want nation states and care about the every advertising dollar even from terrorits, foreign governments etc.

Time to regulate them like utilities and force them to crack down on terrorist content and foreign government intervention.  We don't allow this on radio or TV or by email - so why do these social media clown get away with it.

They are monopolists and nothing more.  Regulate the crap out of them.  It will save society.


It does not matter and you don't get it. The Canadian Supreme Court has already ruled as I pointed out, and it does not matter what any lower court has to say. Try reading the entire judgement of Morguard Investments Ltd. v. De Savoye, which was then extended to n Beals v. Saldanha in external cases.

And please stop quoting lower court rulings they don;t matter. So guess what the decision has been made and Omie will lose, and so will Jihad Justin in 2019


I agreed with ya Kiszla right up to the last sentence. Making the playoffs now is pointless. The privilege of being swept by the  Warriors achieves nothing but to put a few million in the Kroenke's pockets. This off season was a perfect case in point. On draft night, instead of perhaps being in the top five, the Nuggets floundered and came away with no player who is ever going to have a significant impact on this team. Nothing will ensure the departure of Jokic in three years more than seasons of winning 48 games and getting humiliated in the first round of the playoffs. With little reason to believe that will change. No one likes to lose. I have played on teams in tournaments where because of stupid seeding rules it was a smart move for us to throw a couple games. That never tastes good going down. But that is they way the NBA is structured these days. A team can work the system or be condemned to mediocrity.


Where are the cuts before raiding the pfd?
I said months ago while the legislature was  in regular session nothing would be done until after elections. They owe to many lobbyists and mega project promises.

Our wealth WAS held in common but this year it is held in veto. The judge will have an interesting time deciding which mirrors the law the closest. He or she could surprise us all and order that we party away the entire fund and move on...


Having 2 vehicles is reason to settle for one of them being inferior.


We shall see how powerless Schaltz and the democrats are.  Frankly they just need to sit back and watch the republicans destroy themselves.   All this might just change next year.  Republicans have a tendency to really blow it because they only care about the rich and no one else.  Why anyone would vote for such a bankrupt party is beyond me.

Just remember it has been over 50 years since a republican president submitted a balanced budget to congress.  The real pathetic thing is that today's repblicans would never chose this president today.  How sad.


Why would you think you controlling firearm access to an inappropriately behaving child would be something that "ticks off the 2nd amendment crowd,"?  What ticks this member of the 2nd Amendment crowd off is idiots doing stupid stuff with guns that causes so many to try to make my interests something more regulated and inconvenient, or me look like a criminal just because of my enjoyment.

These 180 degree turns from the losing side should be a source of embarrassment, but for "true believers "he's not the only one!".

And John Lewis is an embarrassment.


Hanigan may be one of the most overlooked contributors on this team.  While Murphy is one of the best rated catching prospects and Wolters has done well, it seems to me that Hanigan's veteran presence and baseball smarts have been instrumental in all four rookie pitchers' success this year.  I haven't looked up the stats in all the games, but it seems like when Hanigan is behind the plate the rookies go 6 innings give or take 2/3 with giving up only 2-4 runs.
I don't think he gets enough credit.


Trump Derangement Syndrome at work.
PR was solidly in the cone and they did very little.


I am looking forward to getting a Diesel electric F750 with six doors and a ten foot bed.  With an electric motor at each wheel for true 4x4.  An onboard 6000 KwH on board set of sequenced battery packs will provide ample juice to run the many accessories on my RV.

When the batteries run down I can fire up the diesel to charge them up again.  All that I need is a substantial lottery win.

Meanwhile back in the real world I will likely drive my 11F350 until 2032 when I will be in the market for a 2025 F350.  If they have a hybrid electric option by then I will likely avoid it.  Times are good.


I agree that there may be an issue of fairness when it comes to the distribution of dividends to family members and the conversion of income into capital gains.  These steps result in tax avoidance.  Have at them.
However, taxation of passive income on retained earnings is short sighted.  There are a great many corporations that retain earnings in good years in order to cover costs, including employee salaries, in lean years.
A business needs the ability to plan over longer periods of time.  It also seems logical to grow those retained earnings through investment.  Increased taxes on these retained earnings (some say 73%) will cause owners to take the earnings as larger income and pay their "fair share", while leaving less in the corporation.
In the lean years, with less business revenue, the owner will resort to cost cutting and layoffs, or will borrow and assume risk in order to make payroll etc.
The  unintended consequence may be fewer jobs for the "tax disadvantaged".


It's just too bad that Mr. Saddler and his Republican colleagues haven't been in a position all these years to adopt a fiscally-sound budget.

Oh, wait.........

He would have slightly more credibility if he had said, "Look, we're wrong to give ourselves a per diem that is four times what a regular state employee receives, much less paying some of us per diem for living in our own homes. That can't be in any way justified and we'll do away with it as soon as we get back to Juneau."

Yeah, I know that it's a drop in the bucket, but it's a drop that might demonstrate that he gets it, and that blaming someone else for the state's mess is both juvenile and counterproductive. Instead the message is: "Business as usual next session." Not surprising, but profoundly disappointing.


What a brilliant, hopeful article. More co-operation, less politics!


Top speed wasn't the issue, rate of acceleration was. He sped up too fast, lost control and then his life. Instead of attacking the article and others here, honor your lost friend by learning from his mistake. Ride safe, man.


McCarthyism.


I will have to look a h school bond breakdown. Last year it cost 3 million for one school's roof replacement which I find ridiculous. This breaks down to 4.87 million per project, granted that the cost of each will vary but still a lot.  ASD recently had to spend money to stay under the limit for their savings account and also hired a $10,000 a month lobbyist.  Seems they have money they can spend at random.

I talked to a guy who runs a gym in NYC. He told me that MMA guys come in to learn more about boxing and most are terrible. They will spar with boxers-- some retired, some just above amateur-- and they get schooled. The difference is between boxing and punching as he put it. BTW looks like another grappler vs puncher thing is happening again in UFC with Demian Maia coming up.


They both LOVE Obamacare and will do their best to keep it just the way it is. Socialists like these have no trouble agreeing with what they both like.


Alternatively, the Liberals could fix their spending problem and stop tinkering with the tax code!  Give consumers, investors and businesses some PREDICTABILITY so that they can plan ahead.   Tax rates are already progressive, and there are breaks for investors and businesses to ensure some incentives for risk taking.  There are unintended consequences with making the tax system too progressive or punitive to risk takers and successful hard workers, just as there would be by taking an extreme libertarian approach.


Which parts do you like? Please be specific.


The truth are in his lies.


Agreed. One of the basic rules is that the market - debt or equity - does not care what an investor or issuer needs or wants. Looking out more than a decade, what happens when retired boomers move decisively into dis-saving mode?


So excited for the UO and this super positive development.

The Knight Campus will afford a chance to develop a reputation of excellence in the midst of a culture seemingly eager to settle for mediocrity.

Much gratitude toward Mr. and Mrs. Knight for their incredible commitment to our university.


"That's the problem."

No. Actually the problem is NOTHING short of complete self incrimination is actionable. There isn't and will not be any credible evidence to what was discussed, just hearsay. What you call a "correction" can easily be described as a "clarification". My point is simply Congress should move on from the dog and pony show and get down to the act of governing, save the theater for 2018. It's a waste of my money.

This is a red herring.

No one has said that perfect families exist, Holy Father.  No one.

Why lash us with the obvious?

But our Lord did tell us to "be perfect as my Heavenly Father is perfect"

This is a perfection of charity, not one of power/mastery over the temporal.

And so we must realize that Our Lord wants us to struggle a bit with Him every day, drawing a tiny bit closer..and when we fall down..He wants us to run to Him..as He runs to us...so that He can help us.

It's not pastoral to tell people.."don't bother struggling...don't aim for holiness".

I mean just look at the sad pile of marriages we've seen since "no fault divorce"


Underwhelmed?  Parker's experience is a common response that many women use: "stashed the experiences so deeply in my psyche’s junk folder" -- it felt wrong, so it was buried to avoid confrontation.  Confrontational women, not too long ago, would have found themselves on the floor -- maybe with a black eye to boot -- for talking back to their spouse.  The essence of that attitude is still alive and well -- as many don't see their behavior as something they "should not engage in" nor do they consider it "abhorrent behavior".


The law as it stands now pretty much restricts marijuana use to homeowners. This will need to change at some point. Short of forcing hotels and rental owners to allow use of this othetwise legal product, allowing use in social clibs seems like a potential pattial fix. And think of the tourism dollars!


"megalomania, paranoia, demagogue". You're trying to describe Trump, right?


Thanks for responding.  Unfortunately I still believe you've mischaracterized the situation.  While the FY18 budget includes $19.2m from State appropriations, the remaining $39.8m is mostly skimmed as overhead  from faculty grants and contracts i.e. faculty work.  If Statewide is eliminated that money doesn't go away, it goes to the MAUs where it belongs.


The new comment rules and procedures at ADN absolutely are terrible.  I have never seen this kind of delay and aggravation at any site that I have visited over the last 21 years.  It is not a pleasant experience to post at ADN.


I am ashamed at my alma mater.  I am ashamed at the whitesplaining, plantation-owner mentality displayed in the some of the comments below.  Really?  "...would think be grateful to have the comfortable lives most of us have...."    Really?  Yes, slave-owner, thanks for letting them come into the house now, and wear nicer clothes?  NO.   I will keep marching on behalf of POC,  LGBTQ, Muslims, and immigrants.  When one is in chains, none of us are free.  Nancy Schurtz needs to be fired.  Deady Hall should be re-named, and the Black Student Task Force should get to name it.  Speaking of, all 13 of the demands the BSTF asked for should be met.   Otherwise what kind of backward, hillbilly, ignorant, racist,  football-obsessed university do we have here?  Shall we change the Duck theme song to "Dixie"?


Interesting comment Blacklocus. I had thought to mention that as well in my original submission and have made this suggestion in the past. The Churchill option has many advantages including providing much needed Northern employment opportunities. I do not know what the ice free period is at present but this will probably increase with time.


the same as fund them in the public sector...the employee and the employer.


"If the job of an Ecumenical Council...."

So Vatican II was a joke?  As all the earlier Councils were? If I were Unitarian or even a Primitive Baptist, I would agree with you. Church Councils are a waste of money. Christians are a church apiece, or should be, with each Christian making up his or her own mind,  as it were, with the keys of the kingdom on each person's precious belt. The Spirit operates on a battery of individualism, right? That's seems to be the only "image of Spirit" you wish to look at in your theological mirror. But as a Catholic, that is childish, incoherent. We Catholics do theology through Church Councils, with theologians, the faithful and leaders examining the longest woven cloth of belief in Christian history -- as we have for two thousand years. Newman notes this in his work, including his last major work, THE GRAMMAR OF ASSENT, as have our greatest theologians. You're free, Kari, to step on the feet of these watch-people if you like, but to no effect.

"Law is an ordinance of reason, promulgated by rightful authority for the common good."
[Aquinas].  When the needs of the common good change, because of the times, because of historical changes, because the needs of human society REQUIRE a change---laws also must change.

Each one of the catechisms that you mentioned were written at a certain time and place in history.   Those times and places are LONG past.  Even the CCC of 1983, failed to understand that instant worldwide communications and accelerated travel give rise to both complications and opportunities regarding the diversity of disciplinary practices.  Millions have almost immediate access to information about whatever practice occurs in any regional [diocesan] church.  Shared knowledge is a source of further creative adaptations, and is a force for freedom in local churches, rather than an excuse for NEEDLESS UNIFORMITY or HOMOGENIZATION.


You are right, but few have the ears to hear it.

New direction?  Our courageous bishops understand their role is to prevent anything New from creeping into the church.  No new direction, no new ideas, no new discussions.  This approach will, no doubt, continue to yield results.
