The Bible is not the only source of evidence.   Creation calls out that it was created.  Miracles happen and are denied.   Man's heart calls out for its creator.
Your 're-evaluation' is similar to what you call re-interpretation of the Word.  As has been played out here, there indeed can be different interpretations of what different passages mean.  Is that not similar to what happens in scientific circles?
Also, you say that the knowledge that produced things like computers just happened to pop into somebody's brain.  True, it might be based on some other idea, but it just happened.  Similarly evolutionists say life happened.  A chance happening.  Does that actually not take more faith than believing in a creator?   I know you are going to  counter that this solar system is not unique, but still is it not interesting that this system is set up just right for life?   Miracle upon miracle upon miracle would've had to happen for evolution to work.


That's pretty harsh and very judgmental, and your statement presupposes attitudes and beliefs you can't possibly know.  None of those condemnations are true of ALL of us, even though many of us share a few in common.  You might also admit to McHale that you haven't updated your own allegiance to the RCC to include Vat II since almost everything you write refers to concepts held predating the Council.


When the principal hires a coach who had similar problems at another school this is what you get.


I think he'd have to go after the estate because it'd have been her breach of a verbal agreement, and thos proceeds don't pass through the estate with an explicit beneficiary designation.


With Carbon taxes, higher gas taxes, pensions. cap & trade, highest electricity rates, debts increased at an alarm level  introduced by both Liberal parties, Ontario & Canada future looks very bleak, but I believed in our PM 's selfies and what he told us "The budget will balance itself".
How naive the citizens of this country become and trusted in all politicians' lies and empty promises during election.


That's not why the cost has gone up. Really, open a book or simply read the entire article.


APU's ski program produces more olympians than the whole UA sports entertainment industry in its entirety.

UA can move to a club model. They already have for woman's hockey.

Burdening a student body with college loan debt through mandated fees and tuition to subsidize a sports entertainment industry is immoral at best and perhaps criminal.
We are not Trump University.

UA has user fees for field trips, lab fees, why not "pay to play." If you want to be on a UA intrrcollegiate athletic team it should be worth paying $20,000 for the privilege. Either a college athletic experince has value than can be monetized with user fees or it is not worth very much.


I don't believe that's true across the board. I believe there are still some principled members of both parties serving in Washington. The question is, how many and how courageous are they?


At the congressional seat level there really wasn't a way that they could 'safely' force a 4-3 or 5-2 set of congressional districts. They could force a 3 safe Dem seat 2 safe republican seat and 2 competitive districts that pitted 2 incumbent Republicans against each other. Lest anyone forget Colorado was for a couple decades a solidly 4-2 5-2 Republican house majority even while Democrats controlled the statehouse due to the differences in redistricting at the state level.

But this is nothing new.  Anyone with a half a brain could tell that Colorado's legislative districts have been gerrymandered by the Democrats either in the legislature or through the courts (more recently always the courts) for the past 40+ years.


If you can't say anything without name calling, please stop commenting.


While your take isn't necessarily wrong (if a little scattered), I doubt Tillerson closed this out of a sense of hypocrisy.  State is understaffed and rudderless. I promise you that doesn't help those in certain war torn countries.

You want to a trial for the players of The Project for the New American Century?  I'm in, but watching our diplomatic arm crumble isn't going to help anybody.


I guess I'm not against a requirement for testing of CBD, but the fact is that cannabidiol is one of the most well studied cannabis derivatives, shown to have unique and beneficial pharmacological properties, and is legitimately indispensable to some medical patients.  It would amaze me if Charlotte's Webb, a nationally distributed CBD extract isn't already tested for strength and purity.  I hope the control board resolves this question expeditiously and allows this product back on the market, as quite frankly it is safer and more beneficial than THC, which they are allowing to remain on the market.


IF you happened to listen to Brett Baier's interview with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the DNC last night you may wonder how such a poorly speaking head ever got her job.  She must have repeated the phrase "at the end of the day" at least 6 times,  What a disgrace.


No, your statement has no basis in fact. He didn't 'play dead or injured'; he was seriously injured and barely alive. He didn't assassinate 'the medic trying to help him'.  Please do not make statements that are untrue in support of your opinions.


Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here.


That'll learn em !


Exactly, that's one of the points Mr. Wehner made.  regards, Gary


18 years and the guy was right there. Wonder if the ex is who turned him in?


I've got some old 16mm films my father took in the late 30's and 40's around Alaska. Wish I could afford to get them digitized---too expensive! Air show in the mid 40's at Merrill Field, a hangar fire at Merrill field, ski jumping and slalom in Cordova, Bristol bay in the 40's and early 50's etc.


What they're espousing now is not the Dutch tolerance of old.


Of all the millions of people the GOP could have chosen to be their nominee for president, the chose the absolute WORST one, and the only one who could lose to Hillary Clinton. THANK YOU Jim Crawford!


I won't be voting for Ms Collins in 2018.


The Sun published an update, the Grandma who complained to Trudeau,  she could barely afford to eat after paying her carbon tax and hydro bills has been receiving threats-"trolls and haters have been flooding her Facebook wall with negative comments.-
“There are people all over the place who think I’m hired by a politician and I’m a criminal committing fraud. "
The leftist media, let this information slip by, as usual, giving the PM the kid's glove treatment.
I can't find this news in the Globe.


That would be "Hobart" road


Actually, it started with mis-prescribed fentanyl patches. Too high dosage, too many prescribed, no monitoring, no follow-up


We have no plans to travel to the USA while Trump is in office. There are plenty of other choices in Canada and around the world.


Joe, you don't get it, do you? Read what Justice Zabel said about his own behaviour:

“I find it very difficult to find the words to express my profound regret for what I did that day,” said Zabel.


Nope, I support that decision (still don't like Wynne though).

The best way to raise wages is to create good jobs. Canadian politicians should copy Trump and cut regulations, cut taxes, and end those bad "free trade" deals.  But they won't.


Reign in spending.   You have a spending problem not a revenue problem.    Money for the CBC, Bombardier, other countries, pet projects, but now we are selling our furniture to keep the government ponzi scheme alive.    As government workers retire at age 55 like Kings and Queens.    Unsustainable !


Like many others I have no faith in this government to get this right.

The only thing going well in Ontario is real estate and if this blows up it will have negative consequences on the whole economy.


Nothing:  Yes, hetro people are usually more discrete because most have common sense and think about what is appropriate and what is not.  Hetro"s   are not out to flaunt the fact that they are in a relationship.  Lesbians want to flaunt it as a Power Grab control trip.   Problem is, a majority of the public do NOT agree with it as in this case as its DISRUPTING classes,  and may affect the teacher’s work performance, student relationships, teacher relationships, the regular operation of school or except as it may conflict with the statutory responsibilities of the school board.

"It would appear" that you know very little about information security. Private industry is victimized by malware on an everyday basis. Being infected by some variant of a virus that has been around for a while does not automatically mean the organization was negligent or that its employees were inferior.  That could be the case, but there certainly isn't enough information in this article to conclude that it is.


It's so sad that universities are not only stepping back into the in loco parenti mode that was the norm in the '50s, but now they are abandoning the notion that they are market places of ideas in favor of pressure to conform.

For those who find themselves offended by other people's remarks: Either make a cogent argument against their stance, or re-examine your own position; perhaps they are correct, hurtful though it may seem to admit it. Meanwhile, follow the oft-given advice of cyclists: htfu.


Exactly. Government funding for independent media is the very antithesis of a free press - or free media. Real reporting - unclouded by opinion or bias - is not likely if the very body that is being criticized is a funding source. I wonder how far the Washington Post would have followed Watergate, if the Nixon administration had been a major financial contributor?


The guy didn't even hold the job for a day before he was booted.


You are not in the majority. Trump won, and so did 3 republicans in the last 3 special elections. The real afront was Hilary and her lies and graft at public expense. Like Russia controls 20% of our uranium. Hmmmmnnnn....Facebook ads or Uranium...what is more dangerous? Trump is probably an afront to "restorative justice" but definitely not to justice.


I said that earlier also Kami888. elway will sit on his hands and do nothing


ugh cholo needs to stay away from bad burritos. ended up on the throne taking a schatz for almost an hour.


Yep, looked a lot like the last 3 weeks with Siemian.

Ugh.


OMG - I am so sick of these stories.  why are people so deceitful? so greedy, so willing to lick the floor of the bus?   is no low too low?  a real estate agent...making a chunka off this woman?  Boyst...Lange?  throw both their behinds on a work crew.  sick of this crooked cr*p.  our laws need ot toughen up or we can just kiss our collective behinds goodbye. once again, divided we fall.  MS LANGE - MS BOYST - if you had any ethics - 2 weeks from yesterday would have been each of your last day on your job..  shame shame shame shame. you s*ck at being a public employee.  go away.


False - gerrymandering is a practice intended to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries.

Nowhere did I say or pointed that the change in district was for political purposes.  It was for population demographics based on economics of the two islands.

You must be thinking on party terms and feel this impinges on your party advantage.


This USAF commander disagrees with you, Bill

Really great that fans are staying away from something so serious. Taylor shouldn't be overwhelmed with worrying about her fans at a time like this, and the fans understand that.


The domestic terrorists at the company called "civil comments" are attempting to destroy your first amendment right to free speech!
Only in communist countries or in Nazi Germany you had to have approval of your speech by your peers!
That's not the United States of America!
That's Russia under the iron fist of a loser named Putin!
RESIST LOSING YOUR 1st Amendment right!
Here is the communists website I HOPE all hackers that are reading this understand it is time to take this website down are you listening @ "anonymous" our free-speech is being destroyed by these losers
Be a real American patriot like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington that fought for our first amendment rights for free speech !

That doesn't excuse slew-footing and two-handed slashes to the back of the head. Ovie should be gone for several games but the league is more concerned with television ratings than anything else. Bank on that.


Maybe, but it's more likely that a lot of Green votes would shift to the NDP in an attempt to put that party over the top more decisively. And it's also possible that, having given Clark a warning, some erstwhile Liberal voters will return to the Liberal fold.  The large Green vote could be a one-time thing.


Yes. I like their experience but they seem too political. I'm not sure that they would want to rock the boat and clean up the force of the "bad apples".

My guess is that investigations need to be started and punishments dealt out. I would also guess that most of the dept needs fixing. There needs to be a lot of re-education as well.

The commission also needs to stop political promotions as well. Police work can be life or death. We need professionals on the job and not the best campaign worker.


Mr. Joseph of Portland is a "day late and a dollar short."  Environmentalists of all stripes have been denouncing Earth  First's claim  from the time it was reported.  While there might be a few radical  nuts out there hiding behind their anonymity,  I don't know a single true environmentalist who supports the disgusting practice of tree spiking.  Nor do we know if the reported log  spiking at Noti even happened.
       The real threat to loggers, mill workers and trees is discussed  in today's article "26 million trees have died   in the Sierra Nevada."


I know bogus when I see it. In many ways, from what I've seen, the entire field of forest management looks so laden with ideology as to be dangerous to the human future. That's what I bring to the table; the ability to recognize the point where ideology overtakes science.

I read the Society of American Forester' statement on man-made climate change, for instance.  While they DO recognize that MMCC is a primary concern for future forestry--unlike you--their response to it is so self serving as to take your breath away. It could have been written by PR flacks from Georgia Pacific or Weyerhaeuser.

http://climatechange.lta.org/wp-content/uploads/cct/2015/03/climate_change_SAF1.pdf

I guess you come by your ideological biases honestly, but, seriously, bro', you've earned the invective even if you ARE only the messenger for an entirely compromised discipline.  Forestry reminds me of the economists I used to know, a political ideology camouflaged as a science.


That will make a nice down payment on the carport.


One of the few actual FN leaders in Canada who has a positive outlook that his people can be self reliant. He ad the Osoyoos Band have done remarkable things building business and jobs within their community I still would like to know if they have plans of severing all finical aid with the Feds and special tax status to truly become an independent Nation that doesn't rely on us taxpayers.
No wonder most of the other FN leaders look down at him and try to browbeat him into their engrained belief they must always rely on the taxpayer..... he's talking sensible stuff that they don't want any part of.


I stopped flying Frontier ,but hats off to them if they are really more profitable under this new system, I guess there are a people that will take infinite abuse as long as the price is right?


I think our government is influenced by bad decisions. This is Canada, not United States, we do not incubate that many start ups nor can we compete being even 10% of what Silicon valley is.....

There are not that many tech jobs in Canada, and we already have a robust work visa program giving over 100,000 work visas a year way more than H1B visas in US

This is a ploy by companies to keep wages low!!


Yes. It would be fitting for the underperforming Raiders to once again repay their fans by beginning another decades-long run of losing.


"....or to admit too and she corrected the prosecuted a few times:  Corrected the Prosecution - LMAO..never heard it stated in those words.  corrected the prosecution/.....  did the prosecution "correct her" back.?  RU her bestie?


Ramaphosa should have admitted to all the allegations and disclosed even worse.

The ANC reward the worst scum. If he has not committed those acts, he may as well start today.

Remember JZ has a minimum of 780-odd charges and he still was the ANC's head of moral regeneration.


“Canada is unwavering in our commitment to fight climate change and support clean economic growth"

I agree with Solutions2. Help Trump. anything to not have Hillery in The White House


They will do both.


So the left-wing journalist says, "the inoffensive motion by Liberal MP Iqra Khalid".

I guess Ms. Bozo cannot remember that s. 13 from the CRHA was finally repealed when it affected freedom of the Press - Western Standard and McLeans. Now she wants to go down that road again does she? It also restricted freedom of speech and brought punative action against individuals without due process by skipping the criminal courts and sticking into the Administrative Law area where is was pretty well an absolute liability offense.

It was statements like hers, by the LPC, that brought the affront to freedom of speech in,  in the first place.


... you don't actually think he has ever read the US Constitution?  Daddy paid for poorer kids to take his civics tests.


rage against the machine........."hands up don't shoot" never happened. A stupid protest based on a lie and backed by no facts. Yeah I would stake my livelihood on that one. It just shows that they aren't that smart.


Melissa Mar-Viverito is wrong by saying ”We are going to become this administration’s worst nightmare.”  She and her anti-law associates already are the country’s worst nightmare.


The article missed one important point: Kathy depends on the ignorance of the Ontario electorate. The less she has to disclose, the better her odds of getting away with it. No question, the more corrupt the politician, the less they divulge to the people they are (supposedly) responsible to.

And don't forget: the Liberals are still in power because they were RE-ELECTED. Yes, the public servants and the unthinking Toronto voters may be happy, but their narrow views are killing the province.


Oh let me guess, black people right?


From wiki: ITEP, as well as the associated Citizens for Tax Justice, has been characterized as liberal.

There's a real shock.


"The Roman Catholic leadership does not support the GOP. I would say that the RC leadership is very critical of the GOP on several issues."

Charles, please Dolan gave the prayer invocation at the GOP convention.  Many, many parishes pressed parishioners to vote for the GOP.


"They point out that the Holy Father's document is being interpreted by some in ways that contradict his predecessors and the Church's teaching."

That is like Trump's "Some people are saying...."  There are some people who will always misinterpret.  Blaming Francis for that is the design of this sinister cabal.


For some that may be the case. When someone's actions deserve scrutiny, and they pass this test, and the opposition can not except the facts; then yes it's partisan and psychotic! Having varying standards of accountability for each party is a whole other can of worms


One of the more interesting problems in my experience in the Church is the utter lack of acknowledgment of women who have miscarried, except for some gossip and nosiness from some people, and a desire to see it investigated from folks like R&R. Not even so much as a prayer in the Prayers of the Faithful except about once in all the parishes I've been a part of. And that after a request.


Sure, new housing could be built in the primary core but it would not be TOD housing, which by definition provides less space for cars and revolves around the use of a fixed transit system (that is why buses don't spur TOD, they aren't fixed they are highly flexible). The goal is to not build more sprawl, but rather high density, low price housing. Currently, everyone without kids pays for the schools that serve other peoples kids. And some people in certain areas, like ewa, already pay more via impact fees. SO this really is nothing new.
Pleas provide the list of schools in the primary urban corridor that have been considered for closure. I am only aware of rural schools.


Thanks Dan for this very funny essay, as you have spoken for a lot of high school coaches that have ever attempted an overnight:)


No time to throw rocks...  My business dealings are taking up too much of my time.  Off and runnin in 14 days or so for a couple weeks,  then full pin for 3 months,  off to the Orient for 10 days in mid May so far, business dealing,  hey,  up top on an A380 for the run Singapore to Perth AU...That's going to be special.  I'm not getting any younger.   But its fun..  As long as its fun,  its gettin done....
Maybe get together late July, be down your way then.  Gotta go visit the big house before they tear it down.  A bucket list thing of mine,  wanna see where Paullie spent the past 25 or so..... .   Stay warm,  be safe..


Yeah, I hear you George. However, next year will be the second big ratchet down on retiree post-retirement benefits such as COLA, or a lost of about two thirds of what they expected after retirement. I suspect there will be a third ratchet applied in 3-5 years that will eliminate the remainder, especially after the next economic downturn. A few retirees will whine a bit, but that's about all. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that post-retirement benefits are, for all practical purposes, gratuities.  Of course, a retiree's base benefit in nominal dollars has constitutional protection, so a claw back will be more difficult on their base benefit, but is possible.
PERA members should become aware of their vulnerable position, and that their pension is in essence subject to legislative spending priorities, public sentiment, and the Governor's executive power (veto) ... so even if the legislature were to vote unanimously on a solution, the governor could veto.


Extremely poor decision to throw the ball out of bounds on the last possession to save the Chargers a timeout. Bad, bad play calling.


I see all of this as a culmination of every time the left has called the right racists and all the phobes - for years. They've said it so many times, people on the left believe it. It is very insulting to republicans, and they are very quick to denounce the group(s) for the very reason you see happening here. Trump is not a racist, but they are pushing this narrative as if he were the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. It is very divisive and inflammatory, and does not get to the root of our problems.

The media is painting the alt-left as social justice warriors who have moral superiority and are fighting against racism. Today they are looking at the Charlottesville event in isolation. If you look at the whole picture, and look at everything they've done since the inauguration -- the violent protests, smashing storefront windows, burning limousines -- you can see they are not as nice and innocent as the left treats them. Not once has this behavior been condemned.


Grow a set and use your real name . What are you afraid of ?


This is a civil comment? What? Are there special rules for opioid users or something?


Whoah now. "I don't wish harm to anyone one"... then "I do hope it happens. Casket and all." Kinda contradictory right? It's like saying "I don't want anyone to get hurt but would wish harm on your family in order to prove my point."

If you're looking for numbers.... plenty of innocent Americans are killed daily, by strange paranoid men like yourself.


For a laugh, try Infowars.  It makes Breitbart look the the venerable Times of London.


Anyone interested in the pesticide issue can see with their own two eyes--no need scientists--the massive damage done by papaya pesticides in Kapoho Hawaii....often looks like the fields are napalmed....and only a hundred yards from water catchment....I AM AMAZED......but a little neurotoxin organophosphate can't hurt....


Haha, definitely white trash.


You're accusing the Holy Father of meeting with the Greens for monetary and political purposes???


I've made $64,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. Im using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. Heres what I do,

The perils of being overbooked.


What a weak, lazy PM, all show and no substance. Pretty boy empty headed governing by the tax and take your money Lieberals.


President Trump is already pushing back on this alleged agreement in a late night Twitter post, but if ultimately realized its a very good deal for the DACA "dreamers" and the Democrats but not so much for Mr. Trump. Reversing a promise made by President Obama in 2014 to the children brought here by undocumented immigrants, was, in reality, both short-sighted and cold-hearted on Mr. Trump's part. These young people want only an opportunity to succeed and contribute to the one society they, for the most part, have only known. For the president, getting a commitment for additional border security, although no wall, allows him to still claim a small victory. If implemented, it could be a "dream" solution for what had become a nightmare policy U-turn.


Sure but in the meantime don't we have a migrant crisis to deal with?


Canadians don't want a social conservative.  That is what he is and any policies he releases will try to conceal that essential element of who he is.


The public cannot possibly help find this guy if the cops hold on to the information for two weeks before releasing it.  Also that has got to be the worst image of the year.  Time to trash that useless surveillance system and to spend $200 at Costco to move your surveillance into the 21st century...


Has someone added a person to the Godhead, maybe Ashura, the ancient wife of Yaweh? That would be heresy (unless the whole Church through council agrees to it. Correcting how we use natural law reason is not heresy (by taking away the supposed superior competence of the Pope, reason be damned). The consequence, of course, would be reinterpretation of certain moral questions. I can't wait either, but I think we need the asexuals in the clergy to out themselves (like Burke) and apologize for imposing their natural instincts on the rest of us, who don't share their peculiar natures.


I think it is great that these young people come up and do service


Yikes. You cannot compare capitalism to the dividend. It was capitalism but now that we need a tax it becomes socialism.


None of these instances would provide the quantities currently being created by the current manufacturers.  Black markets and small producers can be controlled much more easily than the current unrestricted systems within this nation.  All of it being driven by profiteers willing to slaughter humans at any cost.


Yes like the speaking engagement fees dirty bill got after the sale of uranium to the  Russians. Funny how the Clinton foundation taps have dried up with no play to access.
Truly entering the mind of the left is an exercise in madness, thank God for TRUMP.


I would not let one on the list back in.


Nobody has a right to tell you what you can think, say, wear, view on the internet, talk about. These are fundamental human rights.
-
Canadians have an ethnocentric misunderstanding of the significance of the burka or hijab.
Most of the world does not believe there is anything wrong with being "barefoot and pregnant."  The mother is sacred. The burka is about preserving femininity. It is a type of feminism to preserve the women.
-
Should women parade themselves around as sex symbols? Many would say no, not your mother.  Canadian women are paranoid of the patriarchy and male oppression, it is sociopathic. 100's of Millions of women are happy wearing their burkas and hijabs. It is extremely arrogant, prejudiced and above all misogynistic to act as the moral naggers to the planet.


Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight. Luckily that Moose didn't charge and stomp that person.


Yes, get some restaurants and bars with a view of the waterfront, finally.


They've chosen to issue bonds in the first session a week back and I have a good feeling they will go with bonds all the way to fund the entire $15-billion dollar expenditure. Municipal bonds are the most prudent and timely funding source despite issuing them violates the Federal rail funding contract and therefore Honolulu can kiss any future contributions from the Feds goodbye. Despite the loss of federal funding, it's a prudent decision in my opinion! If (D)etroit can do it there's no reason why we can't!


Good ole Carpa!  Another "When you don't like the message, shoot the messenger" comment.


Canada has become a country of handouts,everyone wants a handout ,and the working person wanting to get ahead has to pay for it.

It is time for Alaska to behave as a state and not as a ward of the federal government.  The state's entitlement mentality must change.  Alaska needs to stand on its own two feet and no longer require or expect others to foot the bill for unsustainable lifestyles.


Why would we want to sell the country? Let's keep it.


I voted for Nenshi in the first two elections and I didn't in the last one. Did I become a racist over the past few years?

I don't think so - I just got tired of a mayor who wants everyone to know he is the smartest guy in the room in every meeting and yet has no answers to Calgary's issues (except raising taxes).

A little humility would go along way, but unfortunately you'll never get it from Mayor Nenshi.


I thought of the Cabinet shuffle until I read your comment..  You're probably right.  I didn't read the article well enough to recognize the "temporarily".


Wow, that's a blast from the past.
Right up there with no restaurant alcohol on Sunday.
In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield, "I resemble that remark."


That's old news Mr Nicolos, and Mr Clinton isn't on the ticket. If Trump goes there, he's finished.


I WILL never GO GIRL again!!! ever!!!


My understanding from a retired SS Special Agent friend is that for visits like this one, helicopter travel is avoided when possible as they consider it much more vulnerable to both accidental malfunction and deliberate interference than travel by motorcade.


Hey Skier.......  my sentiments exactly.  I never go to Walmart anymore...  for many reasons (wage disparity etc.,) but partly because as one walks thru it, one sees the unnecessary plastic garbage people randomly throw into their carts..   Same with dollar stores;  these junk shops just wreak of plastic shite.    Who dreams up all this rubbish that is shipped over in massive containers, I often wonder..
     We need to have a heavy push by provincial governments to seriously consider changing our
science programming to include land fill issues, pollution and sustainability..  Right at the elementary level so that we bring on a new generation of fresh thinkers and advocates for environmental sustainability.


I enjoyed the Philippine fast food chain "Jolibee" chicken when I visited San Francisco-now they are coming to Ontario (which has a large Philippine community)--I bet they can give KFC/Popeye's a run for their money


Yes, Wiki Leaks just released emails, memos etc apparently showing that the following
so called Republican received monies from the Clintons to ensure that Hillary won
and in the event Trump was elected, they were to work to undermine Trump.
The Republicans named are Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John McCain, John Katich, Paul Ryan,
and Lindsey Graham.  Golly, Surprise, Surprise.


When you move into oil country you better expect drilling rigs everywhere.


On a almost daily basis we read of example after example of Republican legislators demonstrating incompetence, stupidity, or contempt for the public.

Just a few recent examples:

1.  The repeated illegal attempts to pay $32.5 million for the TajMahawer, to a Republican party insider.

2.  The Kevin Meyer fisaco where lobbyists bought him a fancy dinner- ahead of his vote to buy the TajMahawker.

3.  The Senate official who drove drunk, and left the scene of an accident.

4.  Lesil McGuire blowing $40,000 on travel last year.

5.  All the legislators who are collecting per diem way, way beyond their actual expenses.

6. The $4 billion dollar deficit these bafoons created.

7.  The $1 billion in corporate welfare for Big Oil they refuse to end.

8.  The refusal of the legislature to pass a budget in either their 90 day, or 120 day session.

Good grief.  We must replace as many of these clowns as we possibly can this year- before they destroy our state.


Lol LOl LOl Lol Lol Lol Lol ...ROTFLMAO


only a Canadian would be prepared to accept less and be ready to redefine the Canadian dream as a micro apartment in the sky


I would agree that this is a good idea if the CBC were held accountable for being politically neutral and if they would stop producing such inane nonsense as "little house on the prairie" and etc.  They would have to stick to the things they do best, documentaries, news programs, and investigation journalism.


agreed Richard....you notice how only just over 6 years ago, foreign tourists were flocking to Syria, the nation now led by " a madman" but who wasn't quite mad enough back then I suppose to deter sunbathers, over 9 million of them as a matter of fact, to see UNESCO world heritage sites and enjoy resorts on the Mediterranean ...a nation, quite modern and comparatively secular that yes, had ties to Russia, but more importantly, to Shia Iran...

so the madman, the dictator, somewhat unlike the democrats who run Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Emirates, and Kuwait had to go....

so back when the country was safe enough for women to travel through to see the sites, we figured it could be better if the dictator had a little less Persian-love in his heart...now, with the nation in ruins, we seem to believe that if he'd only had the good sense to see it our way 6 years ago, all of this brutality could have been avoided, madmen, what are ya gonna do


shores intelligence level is always equal to the liberal party talking points he is handed every day!


My problem with HB250 is that it fails to capture the full 6% from the incomes that have deductions and pay nothing to the IRS.


The Catholic Church is just another 'basket of deplorables'.

Amazing how liberals complain about 'stereotypes' and 'profiling' and 'painting with a broad brush' until one of their candidates gets criticized.

Then, of course, demonization is clearly authorized and encouraged.


Women choosing to wear face coverings are not breaking any laws of Canada.  The government of Quebec is trying to create a law that would force women to stop wearing face coverings in certain circumstances.


We must have someone who is a better leader than Ige. I will give him credit for privatizing the Maui hospitals, but that is it. He reinforces the principle that legislators with no real excecutive leadership experience in either government or the private sector make poor leaders and in particular poor Governors. Abercrombie was a good example of that. There are exceptions, but Ige is not one of them.


Hah! Hah! So do I, as a good Brit. Well said, girl! (No misogyny intended.)


What is Peggy talking about?  I know a bunch of young people who have started their own businesses and are doing very well.  She must be living in a bubble.


But the real story here is the insider trading in Unilever call options in the days prior to the news release.   It's not what you know that counts, it's who you know.


I have lived in three different diocese in my 60+ years and never have I heard of lay people being consulted before a bishop is appointed. It may well be the case that a select committee is engaged to the exclusion of us 'little people'. If Pope Francis can make this change in a way that all who wish to comment or give input are permitted to do so that would promote the credibility of the church.


any rebuild has to start with firing Gibbons-he is absolutely (and always has been) totally useless-this clubhouse is like a ship without a sail--no direction and absolutely NO discipline under him-if the Blue Jays hope to rebuild from what's left of the farm system Anthropoulos so destructively depleted they will need someone other than Gibbons to guide the younger players

Watch, what really is happening is more $$$ for militarizing the police.  Prohibition doesn't work, interdiction doesn't work but you watch, a bunch of money will go to police departments around the state to buy more hardware.  Someone else will call for more privately owned halfway houses.  Actual money going to educate and employ credentialed addiction professionals.......crickets.....

Finally something we can all agree on.

Also, Alaska legislators have a huge office slush fund that they can spend on whatever they want.
Just lilke per diem, they don't have to account for it.

$20,000 per Senator
16,000 per House member

This is for 90 days of "postage and stationery" when they mostly have internet newsletters.

Do Senators really need $300 per business day for office supplies?

This is much higher expense than any other state, and they have fewer constiuents
http://www.ncsl.org/Portals/1/Documents/legismgt/2016_Leg_Comp_OfficeandPhone.pdf

The amount spent on staffers also greatly exceeds other states.

Time to cut these extras as well.


Do you really think that relative small donations totaling $1,350 is enough to buy off someone or create a conflict of interest?  I hope you scream and yell so much about the conflicts of interest when the NDP/Green party do something to support a union, which has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars.


Jim this is an article about the State of Alaska budget and a state income tax.  Your property tax contributes and funds the MOA.  Owning two properties in Anchorage I'm familiar with the taxes levied.  Alaska is the only state of the 50 that doesn't pay either an income tax or sales tax.  My statement is correct, you contribute 0 to the State of AK aside from a gas and alchohol tax.


And supposing in answer to you challenging me for back up I had replied as you just have: "There is ample backup ... Just look for it".

You consider it civil when you dish it out, but anyone who dares to challenge you seems "uncivil" to you.

P.S. Check back previous exchanges between us. Which of us ended up having their commentary removed because it failed the civility standards? Here's a clue: it wasn't mine.


Here's an idea.  How about expanding benefits for current Canadians to encourage larger families here.  The current balance works okay, however, this new policy is out of hand and will end up replacing the current population with 3rd world underachievers who do not share our values and culture. Within a few generations this will turn our country into a corrupt mess like the countries these new immigrants mostly hail from these days.  This globalist nonsense needs to stop.  Canadians need to come first and politicians also need to look at the long-term consequences of their actions.


Payback serves a useful purpose. If only the Republican Party plays mean, then after awhile they think it is their right. For eight years Congressional Republicans did what they could to negate President Obama's administration, and even to try to negate his legitimacy as an American.
So yes, Senator, you have my best wishes for your attack on what I am sure will be a mean spirited choice for the Supreme Court.
I find myself not only negating Trump's legitimacy, but see him as a tool of special interests, and not my president. I see Putin when I see Trump, I see Netanyahu when I see Trump, I hear Nixon when I hear Trump.

good time for BP & Ice to put the hammer down on the non human criminal illegals that live in the shadows and pick this plant.
Ever go out where they pick, I do all the time. Garbage everywhere in woods. They throw shit everywhere including the highway.

pack up illegal criminal non humans, bus is ready.


Thank you CB for continuing to inform the public on this issue.

There is another group of citizens that are not being represented on the Commission. They probably have the most to say about policing habits. Where are the VICTIMS advocates??? Victims have NO VOICE on the Commission.

Victims of crime and botched investigations are left out of the loop and have no say in decisions regarding victims rights and HPD's responsibility and duty to protect the public. Why is that!??


Why do we need anyone who is holy through some idea of "apostolic succession" if we don't recognize the agency that has been legitimizing this succession for 2000 years?

The idea of spiritual authority that is divorced from scripture and tradition is a strange and contradictory idea indeed.


If you do the math this will only pay for around 75 days of the current state expenses.

This is robbery from the people of Alaska to cover the governments inability to do their jobs.

This will not even carry us until the first of the year.  This money will not even cover the current daily debt load for the next 3 months.


'In Canada, the study of contemporary world history has not been mandatory on most high school curricula, a lacuna that has lessened our aptitude for awareness.'

Having grown up in Europe, this never ceases to boggle my mind, how important subjects like history, geography etc are elective subjects in high schools here.  No wonder everyone is 'unaware', read ignorant.  In Canada of all places, where everyone comes from somewhere else, it should be absolutely mandatory and would engender further understanding of each other's origins.


I know a city park director who has to go through layers of bureaucracy to buy a pencil sharpener. The amount of paperwork is ridiculous, and heaven forbid she should misspell anything. Doesn't seem very consistent to me.


The Rogers clan can sell their four properties up on Lake Rosseau for approx 25 mllion and give Tulo a raise....then he might raise his batting average up to 250

Serioulsy folks how daft are the Jays fans.  Leading in attendance with their pathetic team.  Do they really have nothing better than to root for overpaid immigrant athletes, some that cannot even speak English....ghees.  Common fans, learn a sport, take up water activities ride a bike as I do. completing 95 kilomters up in the Forks of the Credit.  Much better that sitting on plastic seats in a concrete tomb.
Remember the Participaction AD.......need I say more.

Get out and off your butt and quit idiolizig these guys who dont give a rats a.....s  about Toronto or you.

I know the truth hurts, but they ONLY care about their paycheck.

BTW not charge for this free bit on advice.


You forgot the free legal services the government of Canada provides. Those would seem to be the same services seen by some as driving so much of the reconciliation agenda- the fees are just too rich to let simple things like common sense and constructive compromise get in the way.


I remember Caldwell asking that question, but I don't recall her saying that.


I am for that. Seeing as I pay close to 25% Federal Income Tax on the PFD it seems ridicules to pay tax on this then turn around and pay income tax to the state.


Cnn,msn,Reuters  and bbc all have world news stick too ak topics not false flag terror drills trying to get the publics reaction for prelim martial law tests! Nobody got hurt this was for show for punk UN conference!

TSE and TCOU hunchos will try to move CAE to Southern Ontario! Quebec does no deserve such a successful firm eh...


Good god, who actually still thinks this. Give me a break, this is just utterly stupid.


Wow -- a Trumpster calling out another commenter for being "politically incorrect" ?!?

Doesn't that really mean, " I WIIIIIINNNNNNNN " !


Looks like another typical result from an election under a party proportional voting system. (MMP) The third place finisher, with only 7% of the popular vote, will determine who governs New Zealand. And the two main parties are already trying to curry favour with the 7% kingmaker.


We are getting there, just be "patient".


Well I don't know about that all I know is if you get up off yer but you can get rich. I did it and my brother in law did it as well


It would take a 20 second tv commercial to explain the situation, or a few tweets or a newspaper ad - and every BC voter would understand the necessity forced on teh Greens/NDP.
They might not all like it, but it certainly wouldn't put democracy under strain - which will happen if the Lt-Governor doesn't call on the coalition to govern.
Bud, why do you think BC voters are stupid? Are you actually a BC voter? I am, and I think I and my neighbours  can figure this out.


I am looking forward to seeing how this thing operates up here.  By the way, prl didn't move vast amounts of anything.  prl does paperwork.  lynden , ravn, and trucks moved the cargo.

If Ganot is a good coach, as Matlin claims, then as the fans deserve, he should play the name teams and ranked teams. Winning against a bunch of lower division and bottom dwellers proves nothing, you ain't going to get a top 25 ranking that way.  And why is it that of all of UH's major sports, only Ganot has such an embarrassingly easy schedule. The NCAA just said that for its tournament, more emphasis will be on quality away game wins and Ganot schedules only one. So kiss the potential upsets of ranked teams goodbye, kiss an at-large bid goodbye, and kiss the free publicity for good recruits by winning national TV goodbye too.


Yeah, and these are the same types of people that have been harassing women's healthcare clinics for decades.


re "Many do not report violent crime out here as nothing is done."
That statement is patently untrue.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
What evidence outside of your mind do you have to support that claim?
Problem is once you say something is fact that flies in the face of fact you lose credibility.
Your opinions have been racist, low & now just outright bizarre.


The media would love us to forget that populism is a strategy not a political ideology.


You mean "the real prime minister Butts"


Isn't Jimmy Kimmel a comedian.
In whose world is a comedian "essential viewing"?


You're probably right. Paid admin leave all summer long....


After our then Justice Minister, Vic Toews, impregnated his baby sitter, Harper (via Peter MacKay) appointed him to be a Judge in Manitoba. Too bad he's not around to save his Senatorial appointment, Don Meredith. One thing about Harper's ruinous judgment:  it was always consistent.


"No peaceful-minded individual has ever read the literature of an extremist group and then, through a process of rational thought and calculation, decided it is a wise choice to become someone who would slaughter a crowd of strangers."
That about nails it.


Lol


Obviously the pulpit is not the place for personal criticisms. But please, not yet another article on how this Pope is great. He is not doing anything new. Yeah, help the poor people. That's nothing new. He is holding firm to his bizarre theory that women are all alike and have a supposed "feminine genius," and therefore women should be limited in their life choices. He wants us to think in terms of women lacking a "male genius," and that women should be barred from the best positions in Church administration and not allowed to serve at the altar. I don't think all women are alike, and I don't think I am afflicted with a "feminine genius," rather, I think we are all individuals, some more savvy than others. Plenty of people out there are just plain gullible and ready to believe whatever someone in a white dress says and call him a saint. Assenting to and spreading this idea that women must limit themselves and keep in their place is harmful to all women and their quality of life.


...and sees many more important issues disappear during the election campaign. Referendum on its own would be alright - despite the cost for Elections Canada and political parties. The likely proposed changes to our system of government would be so ultimate and complete that the people must first be heard..


Yes, it is ironic and most unfortunate. However there is no question that white rule in South Africa had to go. The consequence of ending white rule and its apartheid system meant that the formerly disenfranchised black South Africans had to step up and run the country. Yet they had no experience in doing so, because they'd been blocked from holding any political power by the white supremacists.

Realistically it will take many generations for black South Africans to put their system in order. It will be a painful but necessary process.


Funny, I wonder how these news sites picked up on it then and the DP missed it entirely. No, actually I don't wonder!

Seeing how this is becoming a trend - to sit during the national anthem - I wonder how grade school children will process this message ... "We stand for the national anthem in respect for our country, unless you grow up to be a professional athlete, in which case you don't have to."

I don't have a problem with public-private partnerships.  However I would prefer that it was a US company they were partnering with.


Well, it's about what you'd expect from the party of Lucifer.


The ANC have been benefiting from the state capture project since Mac Maharaj (was it him?) introduced the Guptas to Mbeki. As Treasurer, there is no doubt Mkhize knows and has abetted corruption. Say no more.

Well I sure hope sound-proofing is in the Coupeville School District's budget...


Can Ron Wyden call himself a lawyer?  Or attorney?  Ever?   Does the Oregon Bar allow that?


I know! Let's replace all of the Native American mascots with caricatures of white pioneer women, or with caricatures of Daniel Boone, George Custer, Betsy Ross, Calamity Jane! Change the name from Braves to Crocketts with an image of Davy, depicting his opposition to the Indian Removal Act.


No, they are not as American as you or I. At the Trump protest downtown a few months ago, we sat at my office window and watched them wave Mexican flags and hold signs that said "make America Mexico again." They make tax-free money and mail it home to Mexico, a total loss for our economy. Stop virtue signaling as if you know who and what you're talking about.


This is so stupid. He is putting a target on all American's backs. We need to get out of the Mid-East immediately!


Pedestrians I know you have the right of way when crossing the street, but you have to understand the laws of physics.  If you get hit by a vehicle you WILL lose.  Physics does not care who is right.

You also have to understand there are many reasons a driver may not see you crossing the street.  It's a lot easier to see a vehicle than it is to see a person.

Be safe out there and let's stop focusing on who's right and wrong so we can minimize injuries and deaths.


Balanced budgets? Your rose colored glasses are lying to you.

"Been to LA lately? It looks like Mexico City."

As you probably know that part of the country used to belong to Mexico.  There are people of Mexican, Spanish and/or indigenous (mostly a mix of all three) heritage that have lived in Los Angeles for probably longer than your ancestors have been in the US.  If you are so concerned about those who are there illegally then a simple solution is to make many legal and stop the rest from illegally working by going after employers.

"Nazi card" <-- See what Hotubjoe said below.  (Thank you Joe).  To add to this, the tactic they are using is a waste of money.  Who harasses a 10 year old girl on public taxpayer money?  Ridiculous and if you cannot see that you have some serious thinking to do.


At this point in this entire zoo all I can do is remember, and paraphrase the "great" Mitch McConnell.
.
"We are focusing on the email server of Candidate Clinton, because it is an issue. If she did not want it to become an issue, she simply should not have had a personal server handle classified communication"...point taken....
.

to which I say.
.
"If Trump did not want "Russia" to be an issue, his campaign, and people he has surrounded himself with, should simply not had so many secret meetings with Russians, which many of them then denied"
.
They did not have meetings with other adversarial countries like China or Iran, or even allies, like Italy or Denmark. There was  even a paucity of meetings with countries with Trump hotels....so why all the meetings with Russia?
.
No Trump ally has even said "hey I had meetings with people from Poland, and Vietnam, as well"..its' all Russia.
.
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck....


Yeah Jane, I'm in total agreement with shisaisama here.  Please stop blaggarding discrimination like it's a bad thing.  You've been totally brainwashed by secularists like Martin Luther King Jr and Pope Francis and their unnatural pro-decency, anti-discrimation bias.
Discrimation hasn't always been a bad thing!  Check out this amazing God-centered, pro-discrimation quote:

"In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following: (a) The level of the superior race becomes lowered; (b) physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap. The act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator. And as a sin this act will be avenged."

It comes from one of our greatest pro-discrimination, anti-secularist leaders!

Yup.  I'm not a fan of Julien as a coach; Therrien had to go, but I don't like Julien's style.  Of course, to a Habs fan, anything to do with the Hated Bruins simply stinks to high heaven!


Where is the record of all these tens of thousands of years of indigenous history? It doesn't exist because nobody had any way to record it. The indigenous peoples weren't advanced enough to have writing. The blissful image of learned natives communing with nature in peace and harmony is an invention. Natives were as warlike as any other people of that era, and constantly killing each other off. Their average lifespans were about thirty years, and they worshiped all kinds of primitive gods because they had no science and thought the gods controlled everything.


How are you still writing biased anti Trump BS articles ? Are children and SJW reading the Globe & Mail ? You should be ashamed of
yourself. The article reads like a 13 year old SJW wrote it. Seriously ? NK have been launching missiles and provoking China etc. No one else is going to stop that crazy chubby weirdo child. You should all be very thankful there's an actual man in the while house again.


I am sick and tired of this nonsense. Since this f.cking idiot is leading the country he is trying to influance our thoughts.


Please give an example. And I have visited many Alberta sites so I would not bother claiming these. The level of environmental stewardship has been very low and there are thousands of sites across Alberta neede remediation.


The irony here is that now the state gets to pay billable hours to a private attorney to make a decision on the ethics complaint.  Both complainants are actively shooting themselves in the foot with their frivolity.  Way to go guys, you are now officially part of the problem.

Our families fought for what the flag and the Pledge stand for. Not the flag itself.
And what the flag and Pledge stand for is the right to sit during the Pledge as a form of dissent.


Qbcoach15, you might want to do a bit more research into how masterful Clinton was in gaming the system to avoid the draft. He was not simply busy being a Rhodes Scholar in England.  His successful efforts earned him the nickname "Slick Willie."

Osweiler.   2015.  Started 7 games.   5 wins, 2 losses.  The reason the Broncos got into the playoffs in 2015. Super Bowl win. And Manning gets the accolades for it.   The thing is, if the record in those 7 games was 2-5, there'd have been no accolades for Manning to receive.


Great article.... many see the government as this super being that will provide in the age of entitlement rather than a business going out of business.
The real issue is we have an economic problem and it’s time to stop thinking of Canada as a Do-Gooding, deep pocket, holy than thou, nice place to live, that looks after any stray dogs, …. and start to realize we are a business unit with tuff choices ahead.


The Trumpster isn't fooling anyone, especially anyone at Langley, but the folks there deserve special recognition for not bursting out in laughter every time the Trumpster opened his mouth.

During the Trumpster's visit with the CIA he commented, "This is my first stop officially, there is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the CIA than Donald Trump, there is nobody".

Everyone knows there's something wrong with people who talk about themselves in the third person. Seriously, everyone at Langley who had to listen the Trumpster deserves a medal for having the self control not to laugh the Trumpster off the premises.

The London bookies have a better track record.  Latest odds I could find was May 2016.

  "Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win in November at odds of 4-11, according to the online bookmaker Ladbrokes — meaning you’d have to wager $11 to win $4.

The New York City tycoon, meanwhile, is a 9-4 underdog, according to the bookmaker’s website."

"So whom do the oddsmakers like for vice president?

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who was the last man standing against Trump before he quit Wednesday, comes in at 4-1. Right behind him is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 6-1, according to Ladbrokes."

Wanta put any money down?  On Trump VP or Final Result?  Big chance to make big money!


Or just not bring them so our own citizens can have what they need and after they have all they need - then see what we can afford and only help that many - that would just be simple common sense wouldn't it ?


An accident due to stupidity. He was driving like an idiot and caused a death.


The most common sin of both the right and the left is a refusal to recognize the successes of the other. Hence Mr. Keller can't find a single positive thing to say about Castro and Cuba. Not, of course, because there aren't positive things to say. Rather, he refuses to see them either in comparison to other Latin American states, or in historical perspective. Here's a bit of the latter.

Despite the fact that the USA lost the Vietnam War to the North Vietnamese, that communist country now exports more goods to the USA than to any other country. Had the USA not had its bizarre and childish hate on for Cuba, I'm sure that nation would have prospered as well.


Not to mention Bill and Monica in the Oral office.

When my first grandchild died, a Jewish couple sat shiva with my wife and me. They wept with us, to show their concern. This was not emotionalism, this was being fellow mourners. And being true friends.


And physicians still tend to practice in the manner they prefer (patterns/volumes of diagnostic testing, variations in treatments). We already know this. But more data collection has done little, if anything, to significantly change these practice preferences.

Time and time again, context and culture have been identified as the critical determinants. And much of this was discovered long before the advent of high technology and sophisticated analytics.

I do suggest you look over some of the research from The Dartmouth Institute I cited above. Years of data - same old story. US findings, but one can easily assume Canada is not much different (except for lower volumes due to more restrained capacity).

There are already systems and administration in health care. If additional administration and data does not improve care or reduce costs, then it represents a dis-economy. It becomes a show piece suggesting greater efficiency or higher quality without the actual outcome.


Name-calling instead of providing facts. Classic. By the way, do you have insurance ? How about you proving your heritage ? Because, it would be a good thing if you are a white male, with blue eyes, blonde hair and lots of money in your bank account. Otherwise, it is 'screw you' time...


The only way it is homophobic is if the gay population took it to mean that Donald Trump is actually gay & they found it insulting that Colbert would lump him in with them for a laugh. But as a joke for those Americans who do not understand, it implies that Trump is Putin's b***h. And that remains to be seen. Money buys a lot of things.


McCain needs to focus on his health. He is out of touch with Americans. His wife'a $$$ is not his and he thinks he earned it. He has always lived about his means on her skirt tails. Hope she doesn't have an accident or he will cast her aside like his first wife. He does not speak for the USA. He speaks for all the corporations that are paying him off.


WHAT is with the hair?


May I suggest you study up on Sex Offender statistics instead of listening to everything you hear in the media? Like the fact that of all types of crimes, sex offenders are least likely to reoffend. Look at this Vukovich guy, he has been in and out of prison  on a wide verity of crimes that cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars and also hurt victims.


I see life as a woman who, like every other woman on the planet, lives in a sexist world. So what? It seems to me you feel free to be dismissive of sexism.

This is all distraction  so  people will not talk about Hillary's Saudi Arabian  financial support,  and their overt influence on the election. That was real . Russian influence is spurious at best.


The schools should have been located on the reserves, so the students would go home to their parents each night.  It was feasible even at that time, as was shown by the one-room schoolhouses that dotted the rural prairies.  Doing so would have prevented nearly all the sexual abuse by the predators who were attracted to the schools.

However, today's social justice warriors would still level accusations of "cultural genocide" because the students would have been taught English, math etc.


During the trial, the details of what the video showed were described in detail for everyone in the courtroom. Neither the prosecution nor the defense stated that any blows to Mr. Bumpus by Officer Sharlow were given either in the field or in the booking room of the jail. Another officer in the field admitted to administering several blows to Bumpus in order to get him to stop biting Officer Sharlow. That same officer also stated that he kicked Bumpus in the abdomen as he charged towards him. That contact was done by Officer Lindsey. Officer Sharlow did deploy his taser which incapacitated Mr. Bumpus who was then handcuffed and put into the patrol car by other officers at the scene and NOT by Sharlow. Officer Sharlow drove his patrol car to the jail. Yes, Officer Sharlow did take Mr. Bumpus to the ground, but he was never beaten by Officer Sharlow, or anyone else. It is unfortunate that the Register Guard is unwilling, or unable to provide their readers with accurate reporting.


It's odd  --  so does he.


Theresa May deserves to be unpopular not only for her rigid personality but also for her opportunism for calling an unnecessary election she mistakenly thought she would win in a landslide.

Jeremy Corbyn deserves much credit for his comeback and especially his ability to attract young voters. His was a moral victory if not entirely an electoral one.

I don't think Corbyn can form a government--he would need the support of the Liberal Democrats, Scottish and Welsh Nationalist Parties, and "others," including the Greens and Sinn Fein. He would also need the DUP to waver in its support for May.


A nice lesson for this millenial: yes, actions do have consequences


Harvey Schacter is slipping a bit.  Over 5 hours after this latest piece hit the on-line, and I'm posting the first comment.  Maybe the ONLY comment. Some unsolicited advice:

Harvey!  Listen up!  You may not get another chance at G&M! You have to think about instant hooks in the headline. Anything that features the word "think" won't qualify. (In fact, that goes for the subject matter, too.)

Last headline was a real winner: "The six types of mean men you meet at work."  Hot-button material for sure.  To prove it: over 80 posts within a day (even acknowledging the usually multiple posts from "Victimitis.")

Write something that posters can poke fun at--or each other.  Lots of reactions to "Mean" were "funny." Not too many laughs here.

But do try again.  Remember, gender sells.

Thanks for your post however since it's just a rehash of an article that has already been refuted by multiple sources, including the ones I provided, it can hardly be considered credible.

Looking at the graphic, it doesn't seem (to me) like a very comfortable ride.

A fully-loaded 737-900 has an absolute maximum acceleration of about 0.27g (it's actually less - I'm ignoring drag and rolling resistance of tires on runway). Applying (for "human comfort") that performance to the Denver - Ft. Collins route and presuming it actually reached a cruising speed of 700mph, you'd spend 2 minutes accelerating to 700mph at 0.27g, 5 minutes at 700mph, then 2 minutes decelerating to a stop at 0.27g.

I foresee a spike in barf bag manufacturing futures.


Your trash talk would be more impressive if a) the Globe didn't apply a community-based approvals process, which means the Globe let us police ourselves and b) the Globe were a government agency and required to uphold freedom of speech laws.

Sometimes a North Dakota Mandan and perpetual outsider sees things quite clearly.  It is not just incompetence and lassitude in Hawaii which hold this place back.  One has to follow the money to see who benefits from the incompetence.  There are very good reasons why we are held back by poor decisions and inside dealmaking.  Follow the money and be alert....


He won't have the massive power of a corrupted democrat party to facilitate his abuses.That will be a plus.
Saw an article recently that made the case for Trump that he would be the easiest to impeach, if necessary. Ben saying that all along. At least with him there would be some return to the "separation of powers" concept.
Of the two VPs that would potentially replace these candidates, Mike Pence is far superior.


If Johnson did so while he was working, then he did it on the taxpayer's dime.


We are now officially A kakistocracy (English pronunciation: /kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi/) : a state or country run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as 1600s. It was also used by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829.


Next to Hillary, lol


Buh? It's a freaking tribute to a young person who lost their life too soon.  It's not an appropriate article about which one should be a gross, rude, nasty person when commenting. But if you don't know that it's time to start over in preschool and learn those simple life lessons on how to behave.


"It’s rarely the fault of a motorcyclist when an accident happens."

"Rarely" is a bit of a stretch.  I'm no statistics expert, but two of the three accidents described in this article appear to have been the motorcyclist's fault....


Some children are strong willed and need that extra control! I didn't need one with my other two children, but my youngest son was a different story. I used to think it was silly when I saw parents putting their children on a leash. That was until my son tried to dart into a lake. It was the best decision I could have made! It's unfortunate that anyone would verbally abuse a parent for trying to make sure their child was safe. I guess you are damned if you do and damned if you don't


Long before doctors connected the dots between smoking and cancer, they knew from the very beginning it caused emphysema, yet in the same breath the Surgeon general suggested smoking was in fact good for you.  While I'd like to believe times have changed with government being more truthful, here we sit decades later, with our current government on the one hand saying they indeed recognize the dangers of drugs and their addictive properties, yet allowing the sale of said drugs within our community  in the name of profits.  So what kind of lesson is that teaching?  If we want kids to understand the difference between right and wrong, good or bad, then I strongly suggest we get them out of public schools,  because they will not learn those things there, nor is it the job of government to be teaching such things in the first place.

Crybaby GSA, when Americans vote for a candidate in the US election, they are also acknowledging there are rules in place in order for their preferred candidate to win. So whining about the electoral college AFTER the election makes you look like a sore loser.  Plus, remove California from the mix and Clinton loses the popular vote which was the whole purpose of the electoral college: to not give populous states that much sway in the election.

My idea of progress are governments that operate for the people in a manner that is characterized by its rationality, humanity and compassion, openness and accessibility, lack of extreme ideology, absence of superstition, paucity of magical thinking, and total absolute sanitation against corruptions actual or optical. These governments should only err militantly on the side of peace, liberty, and equality when conflicts of interest between constituents and outside corporate or oligarchical interests are raised, and yet, statistical research conducted in recent years on policy outcomes say that over 80% of the time this conflict comes up, the constituents lose in US policy.

He probably checked the area out prior to the event, just need the camera where he entered...likely took the same path. No one does something like that without having done a dry-run. That and he is dressed in black, so its clear he planned this ahead of time. Either the reflective bag is by chance, or this fellow is an avid night-walker, suspended/revoked license. Definitely lives near-by if on foot. If his motive was anger due to noise because he lives so close, thats why he slashed 80 something tires. An aircraft tire isnt as thin as a car tire neither, so he may have even been employed by someone there as an A&P mechanic. Hope the judge throws the book at him, sick of vagrants and thieves running rampant in Alaska. Then start chain gang on an epic scale, make them mow, pick up garbage, sweep rocks, trim trees, patch asphalt. Send them through anchorage with bags and paint, clean this town with the degenerates (mandatory). Failure to comply = 10 yrs added to sentence.


Isn't it though? Hope they like playing in empty stadiums.


Lightening doesn't strike twice. The election of the Grande Orange Twit south of the border does not mean a Grande Fromage Bubblehead will get the majority of  even the Conservative vote in Canada. So far he is using exactly the same rhetoric that the Grande Twit did in his runup to the vote.


A Libertarian presidency can only help the down-ticket Libertarian candidates, most of whom do not support "gun control." So, if that what he said (and others don't think so), it isn't as important as some say it is. Let's get Libertarians in office at all levels.


God's children are killed all the time in US military actions - now that's hypocrisy.

Obama didn't bomb for many reasons, one being the complexity of the situation in Syria.  Trump just bombed Assad,  the enemy of ISIS, - the  terror group he campaigned on eradicating.  That's not just hypocrisy, it's stupidity.


Not quite. There are still more whites than others, and will be for a while. Nice try though. You're true colors have shown through.

How many times did  Trudeau's " family friend" the Aga Khan ask  him  to take a vacation with him BEFORE he was Prime Minister and in a position to influence Canada's support of  his  Aga Khan Foundation  .


And if Wente had actually "read" the article, she would have found out the study compared Seattle to a 'Synthetic' Seattle of different areas of the state. Further, another study (using a different 'Synthetic' Seattle) came to the conclusion that, for restaurants, the increase had little effect.

And the authors of this other study had criticisms of this study. So the study's conclusion is hardly a slam-dunk.

But we still have the usual crowd predicting doom-and-gloom.

But then these are likely the same people who predicted a jobs boom when Ontario lowered its corporate tax rate to be the lowest in North America. (We're still waiting on that one, aren't we?)

Liars figure and figures lie.


If you think this kind of garbage is good for kids or for anybody for that matter you deserve kids that this produces. Of what use is it and didn't any of these people that condone it get past 4 letter words in the 9 years they spent in grade school. Just like pot stink up your own house but don't make everyone smell it. Others have rights too!


Much of that debt came from shenanigans in the banking industry and mortgage companies who manipulated the Free Markets causing the tax payer to bail them out. Then there was two unfunded wars and the new Patriot Act. How about no new wars or at least not pre-emptive ones for weak reasoning. How about more regulations on banks to avoid these catastrophies so the taxpayer doesn't get nailed? It's the wild speculations in the housing industry ( Wall Street) that got them cooking up the prices and over inflating the results. It's happening again right now so don't complain when and if a new collapse occurs.


I've never heard of this charity, but it sounds pretty cool.

Thank you for the reminders that SB91 is evidence-based and subject to ongoing evaluation and scrutiny.


Since they screwed up the wording on the bill why are they getting paid to fix it? Take away the per-diem and that will give them incentive to get it done in the minimum time possible and to be more careful in the future.

The gravy train has run out of gravy and is headed for the cliff. BTW, Kathie Wasserman, ex director of the AK Municipal League-a nonprofit, is on the PERS state retirement program. Why the heck is that? Why are Alaska taxpayers footing her retirement? Ed Graff always threatens with the fear of losing teachers. Teachers make up only 1/3 of the ASD workforce. How about cutting the overhead which eats up nearly 50% of the ASD budget?

Oh, Anon, I am not a sociologist, or any other type of expert.  However, it seems to me that a good first step might be for more white people to listen more closely to the experiences to those who are not white, to really hear what it feels like to live with racism.
I think that there are way too many white people who, on some level, believe that treating non-white people with equality takes something away from whites.
While I realize that many of the problems that people suffer in our society are caused by lower socio-economic status, racial discrimination crosses s-e lines.  I know a black judge who has been unable to hail a cab, a black Colombia graduate on whom police were called, because a neighbor believed that he did not belong in a particular neighborhood.  I know of many professional black men who have seen women clutch their purses tighter, because the black man has approached.   I could go on... And these are just the people whom I happen to know.
Cont'd.


Paul "I only said I was with Trump to get re-elected" Ryan, along with the rest of the backstabbers have only shown their true colors.


It’s a tragedy of modern public education that so few understand the founding principles of our democratic republic. Under British hegemony in the mid 18th century the thirteen colonies were not a unified political entity; each colony had its own unique interests and grievances with King George’s rule.

After the war founders had to reconcile disparate regional objectives lest this new nation descend into a conglomeration of petty fiefdoms. Federalism, enumerated powers, and the Electoral College were but a few of the techniques designed to unify a nation while theoretically preventing any state or regional dominance (4 of our first 5 presidents were Virginians).

We should not dispense with the Electoral College as a knee jerk reaction to one election.


CONTINUED 2...Other public safety issues where it would be useful are:

>Allow potential victims to vet known stalkers or acquaintances under a restraining order
>Allow gun clubs to vet potential members
>Allow shooting ranges to vet suspicious customers
>Allow proprietors of "build your own firearm" gun shops to vet customers
>Help prevent straw purchases by allowing FFL’s to vet all individuals involved with the purchase of a firearm as a gift
>Allow mental health workers to vet troubled individuals like the Aurora Colorado theater killer
>Allow resource officers & school officials to vet suspicious students like the Arapahoe High School killer in Colorado
>Allow the family of the mentally troubled Lafayette, LA killer to verify he couldn’t purchase a firearm
>Allow police officers to vet anyone they contact - (note the routine background checks performed by police often do not include information about firearms eligibility because they don’t directly access the NICS database


Sorry, Doc. You are way out of line here. Learn the law before you comment. Don't just make stuff up. Even the police, who generally are sticklers for the law, will advise you to take the lane if it is required for your safety.


Caldwell is trying to double all City fees, fares, and other charges to pay for Rail.  Next he will want to double property taxes, etc.  AND IT STILL WILL NOT BE ENOUGH FOR THE HUNGRY RAIL CONTRACTORS AND UNIONS.


Yes yes because Big Government and Small Citizens is so effective, hows that working for you in Ontario??
Thank god Trump approved Key Stone after 8 years Obuma dithering.


Good article by MacDougall but why did he shill so long for Stephen Harper if he truly holds the views that he expresses here. The guys at the whacky end of the leadership bunch are Harper wannabes.


In the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party, they and the nation are two in one.  Love your country means love the party and in hierarchy the party is above the nation because 'without the Chinese Communist Party, there is no new China' as they always say.  That part is correct because the current corrupt state of  'new' China (environment, culture, morality, trust among people and with public institutions) is the result of the brutal rule of the CCP.


Because the left wants to control what they teach other peoples kids and resists any change.  Opt in is common sense, not using abortion providers to teach sex-ed is common sense, but the rabid left freaks out at the mention of such common sense ideas.


win win.

Monte Carlo is looking better everyday.....................


The central issue here is whether or not the fundraisers are "preferential". They are not. Anyone can attend, no one is excluded. Just like with any CPC or NDP fundraiser.

Its like saying a minimum $75 donation to the NDP for a "have a drink with Tom event" is preferential if you don't drink.


It's a nice analogy but is there any evidence it applies to macro-organisms like people? Not to my knowledge. So far it is just a cool sounding slogan. What is it the right calls it... virtue signalling?


And there are condos that lie empty too.   There are quite a lot in some buildings.


Cutting spending for legal services and public broadcasting (which gave us Fred Rogers and Sesame Street), all while the Trump family spends several million dollars of taxpayer money each weekend for golfing and shuttle flights to Florida.

Thanks, Mr. President, you vile, disgusting trash.


So, if the dossier really were true, it would have been one of the biggest breaches of the Russian intelligence services, EVER.  They had all this dirt on a potential US President, and they just gave it up to Steele, why?  For a few dollars?  Or maybe, to affect the US election process for Hillary?  That kind of goes against any common sense that the Russians would give up leverage like that on a potential POTUS.  It also goes against the narrative that Trump was in bed with the Russians, doesn't it?  It seems to me the only way any of this dossier could have been true is if Hillary was "in bed" with the Russians and they colluded to destroy any chance of Donald Trump being the next POTUS.  FAIL!!


Hi Icon:

"... Republican president who left office in disgrace ..."  Mr. Nixon overstepped the bounds of propriety in office and for that was properly hammered by Congress.  He also had his genuine accomplishments, as others note on these boards.  And certainly, disgraceful behavior in office isn't restricted to Republican politicians by any means - Ted Kennedy's serial sexual predations, Mr. Clinton's perjury and impeachment, Mr. Rostenkowski's corruption and imprisonment, etc, all come readily to mind (all prominent Democrats).

"... role of the Environmental Protection Agency in protecting the health of Americans ...  laughable that you would bring that up ..."  You have charming faith in the infallibility of the EPA, but a lot of thoughtful people don't.  This would include at one time the editor of _Science_ magazine  (one of the premier hard-science publications on Earth), who felt compelled to inveigh, in print, against some of the disingenuous excesses ...


You have a lot of rage and hate. I don't understand.


The fact is - you're likely not going to shelter more than that $50K stream in your corporation. Say that you take the extra out as salary or dividends, pay the tax up front, put some of the money into a TFSA, and spend or invest the rest as 'after tax' money.  My question, given the amounts that can now be sheltered between an RRSP and a corporation, are you paying that much more tax by paying up front, compared to later withdrawal?   In fact, many people over-shelter their income and end up paying more tax in later years, than they saved in earlier ones.  I'm not sure you're doing a thorough analysis given the new limits.


As more are now employed by the Federal Government since 2000 than not, it's time to restructure work WITH WISE MISSION STATEMENTS and reduce overhead. If it doesn't contribute to real productivity or RFD, "You're fired" days are surely coming.


Are you kidding, NCR?  Conservatives live for pentagon waste.  In the Dick Cheney tradition, wars of opportunity and the billions of $ that flow in to corporate coffers are the conservative raison d'être.


how can you tell?
Odds are equally good that it was a drunk conservative.


The survival trait of pilot fish is that they take advantage of the high-pressure zone in front of swimming sharks, which saves their energy, to be in position to feast on the scraps of sharks messy feeding.
The "no state income tax" people are the pilot fish for many of Alaska's elected officials. They have been living off of the fat of the land, and are conserving their financial resources by voting for the candidates who promise them that their finances will continue to be maximized, at the expense of the other 85%.
Doesn't get any more greedy and selfish than this. After rent, car payments, insurance, food, clothing, and other basic expenses are deducted, Walker's veto of half of my PFD amounted to a huge percentage of my disposable income.
Add the expense of auto repairs, studded tires, work tools, and etc; and I'm $6,000 in debt, before the year is half over. I will have to sell my work van in the fall because I owe more on my other vehicle than it is worth.


I think the blame should actually start with Bush.

When he (and 80% of the country) wanted to go to war with Saddam, I was one of the 20% that disagreed.

1) I thought it would likely turn into the exact situation it did - with ISIS, et. al.
2) I thought that NK and Iraq were bigger potential problems.

Steven - If it is not gay marriage or abortion, I would count of silence.


L2G:  There are far too many really nasty, ...I'd say deranged...individuals around us today.  Indeed, they are frightening.  Your story is "horrible"...no one should have to endure the stalking you describe.  Our son-in-law is the secretary of the local NAACP and yesterday showed me an email he had received from an anonymous site somewhere in Kansas.  It was the most vile, hateful racist commentary you can imagine.  He receives such emails rather regularly.

The internet has done good things.....it's also done some real damage.  It's now possible for folks to spread their hate far and wide and to, as in your case, target individuals for such vile harassment.  There's no easy answer.

I'm sorry you were attacked in such a cowardly fashion.  I understand your feelings.  At the same time, I oppose using violence to meet hatred....violence only begets violence.  best wishes, Gary Crum


Pocho, the reports are that the soldier's mother and wife were in the vehicle at the same time, on the way to the airport to meet the soldier's body, and they all say the same thing.  Trump couldn't even remember the soldier's name.  "The mother of a soldier killed in an ambush in Africa said Wednesday that President Trump “did disrespect my son” with remarks in a condolence telephone call."   He rubbed salt in  their wounds and continues to make us all ashamed.


Your photos fail to show RTD trains running red lights.


Went, the old plagiarist herself! What a fabulous source of facts. In case you don't know, Wente writes Conservative partisan opinion pieces, she isn't in the news business.


If the man wants to kneel, let him. After all, it's what us veterans fought for, right?  I see no wrong doing. He has the freedom to stand for what he chooses, to enjoy the freedoms we all fought for.


What if President Trump is playing chess, as in getting China to finally act, which I think is the real purpose towards what he and his administration are doing, and all  the commentators here can't see past their nose and are playing checkers? I always bet on the billionaire, every time vs the masses, they didn't get to be billionaires by being stupid.


They are guaranteed and CDIC is funded by the member institutions and their depositors, not the taxpayer. This article and the gem he published yesterday make no sense. Just another panic monger. Nice journalism Carrick.

I really don't care a fig if she wins the Conservative  Leadership Role or not but I'm incensed at the gratuitous ,
big easy,  racist smear campaign conducted to discredit her.

People throwing those Poo Balls couldn't hold a candle to her accomplishments.


Except he's right -- you don't know what you're talking about.


i do not know what you are on but really , grow up, just because many of us have the same ideas does not mean we are all the same, you know there are people out here that do not think and believe as you ultra left wing people do you know! please feel free to continue living this fantasy all you like while the adults debate these story's maturely


Sorry … Try Clinton over Drumpf by 9.

_“a new Suffolk University poll of likely general-election voters in Pennsylvania shows Clinton with a commanding lead over Republican Donald Trump. In a two-way matchup, she led Trump 50 percent to 41 percent, with 8 percent undecided. In a four-way scenario, with Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson added into the mix, Clinton led Trump 46 percent to 37 percent, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 5 percent, Green Party nominee Jill Stein receiving 3 percent, and 9 percent undecided.”

P.S. If you're going to post poll results that were referred to in an article that's over a week old, you might want to check up-to-date reports.


Trump is doing what he promised to do.  Why whine about it ?
With the upcoming Oscar festivities  anti-Trump Hollywood should add this one quickly, for this was quite a performance.

Gosh.  It only took about 10 hours for your "algorithm" to allow my comment to be published.  I'm writing this new comment at 5:40 PM on Monday.  Let's see how long it takes to see the light of day (if at all).  To paraphrase an old saying about justice: comments delayed are comments denied.  There's no way to engage in dialog when there are such lengthy delays.  Totally unacceptable.


I don't care where his blood hails from (speaking as a 3rd generation Canadian) - just    keep   writing.


Arpaio, who is now 85, is scheduled to be sentenced on 5 October for his criminal contempt conviction by a judge on 31 July.  However, he plans to appeal the conviction and get a trial by jury.  It would be best for Trump to hold off doing anything while the appeal plays out.  If the appeal is approved and Arpaio is found not guilty by a jury, end of situation.  If the appeal is denied and Arpaio is subsequently sentenced or if he is found guilty by a jury, Trump could then decide whether to commute the sentence, as President Bush did for Scooter Libby, or pardon Arpaio.


I would like to remind you that the people responsible for 9/11 were deep believers in god and full of spirituality.  I'd also like to remind you that violating many of the 10 Commandments is punishable by death.
To credit a non-existent entity as the source of all good and evil is ridiculous and irrational.  A belief in a "god" does not elevate your moral character nor give you the right to claim superiority or justify your moral worthiness while implicating that non-believers are evil.  Can you think of a better way to insult non-believers?  Atheists have no choice but to shrug this nonsense off.  Religious people would like to ram it down our throats as an act of righteousness.


The problem with Trump in terms of legislation is that he has no plans, principles, or Agenda.
His priorities change from day to day, and absolutely nobody can predict what he will tweet next.
