Something About This Russia Story Stinks
Nearly a decade and a half after the Iraq-WMD faceplant, the American press is again asked to co-sign a dubious intelligence assessment

Why, well Ann Coulter sums it nicely.
" Democrats REALLY hate Russia. They've never forgiven Russia for giving up communism.,"
20 days until the end of a error.
It's the most wonderful time in 8 years !!!


Really? This revelation from Buzz Feed and the rambling of the hateful left trying to connect  Jeremy Christian to Trump reminds me of the old Chinese proverb; When you find yourself in a deep hole a wise man knows when to stop digging. Something tells me by tomorrow the left will be in overdrive trying to spin like tops out of a very deep hole.
Good luck!


...and the Liberals have a leader who considers those not "pro-choice" persona non grata. Chretien allowed pro-life Liberals to vote their conscience and speak on pro-life issues. Political PUNDITS  and those media scribes and electronic town criers write and voice  "opinions".


Using material written by Dan lvey, like in Schitts Creek?


OK, you don't like Trump and his behavior, but at least have some consistency in your protests.

How, for instance, does feminist icon Gloria Steinem keep a straight face while she's voicing her solidarity with Muslims? Let me get this straight: She's outraged by Trump, but has no beef with a religion that dresses women in ghost costumes and practices honor killings and FGM?


Yup, it's just a twitter thing. Don't mean nuffin.
Ask trump about that. Isn't he a hero of yours?

Kurgan, do you have any intention of responding to what I actually say, or do you insist on continually lying?


They line these poor kids up like they are a heard of cattle. Sad.


Respectful comments won't come about someone you don't respect.


The Shanaplan has been near perfect from the management team to great drafts and great FA signings. 100% agree..in Shanny we trust!


You are right, Ranger Granger, the age of consent is 16.  Unless it's a person of authority over her  such as a school teacher or counselor, that sort of thing.


Please proclaim how the Perverse Prevaricator produces the propensity for palpations from the pith to the periphery in the body politic.


BC's carbon tax ceased being revenue neutral in 2013/14.

http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/how-b-c-s-formerly-revenue-neutral-carbon-tax-turned-into-another-government-cash-grab

"According to data from the government’s own projections, the carbon tax will result in a cumulative $865 million tax increase on British Columbians between 2013/14 and 2018/19. So much for revenue neutrality."


Thanks, Casper, for that reminder.  Called to mind something Hamlet said:
"That it should come to this! . . . .
So excellent a king, that was to this
Hyperion to a satyr . . . ."


And that's a complement....


I wouldn't hold my breath - it will cost a lot of money to buyout the Federal Employees.


So competence, civility, and compassion are less important than an alleged ability to annoy a fantasy group? I'm sure the people of Puerto Rico appreciate your sentiments ...


You should probably ask the school that mace question instead of asking randoms on the Internet.

And FYI, that's what bears do. A big ole huff and and a charge. In bear talk that means go away. If it wanted to hurt that other woman it would have.


Dump Sessions.


"Canada needs to play hardball"
         --- Gregor The Terrible
No Gregor TT. Canada has to play a fair ball by stopping the hidden subsidy that would behooves our Economy in the long-run rather than being humiliatingly forced to accept crashing quotas. And what Canada really need is competitive actions rather than affirmative actions for us to get ahead.


We need an eye roll, here we go again emoji reaction.


The science isn't about Google, it is about how males and females have different distributions of various attributes related to job preferences.

That is perfectly relevant to the discussion at hand.

Discussion of how they might apply differently to the Google case  are legitimate however, but that is speculation.


I'll root for any Canadian based team, as long as it isn't Vancouver, Winnipeg, Calgary, Ottawa, and Montreal.  Especially Montreal, and especially Ottawa....


You seem to be confusing the Fundamentalists with the Catholics. You make excuses as to why baby killing is simply more viable for the Western world. No Catholic would think that Catholic doctrine could ever conflict with the truth, I think you have unmasked yourself as a simple-minded troll playing the part of a liberal cafeteria Catholic. I don't think you know anything about the Church.


"Funny, when the USA was at their apex they taxed the rich at 85%"

And they allowed unlimited deduction of mortgage interest and dozens of additional allowances against that - which is why the Middle Classes payed so much more tax back then.

BTW, It was Kennedy who cut those exorbitant rates, not Reagan


The whole "medic" label is a crock. It was Delta Force that went into the compound. No one is going to send a soldier into a battle completely unarmed with the idea that that person is a "medic" and the other side will not shoot. Complete baloney that the US Government has been milking since Khadr was captured.


A good friend that I have known since the 6th grade grew up in a very strict Mormon household in a very strict Mormon community. I always knew that he was gay. He did, too. In fealty to his parents and church, he did everything they wanted him to do in order to not be gay. He served on a mission. He went to special camps. He prayed about it. I believed he prayed sincerely and with dedication. He went to BYU. At the age of 25 or so, he decided that either God had made a mistake or that the LDS church was wrong about homosexuality. He left the church at no small cost. I've never seen him happier or healthier.

Best of luck to young Savannah.


I don't fault children for the misdeeds of parents. But to him who is given much, much is expected. And in that I concur with Denise: Harry is indistinguishable from the rest of British royalty in terms of his contributions to the betterment of humanity. Whether their impact on tourism and the economy justifies the riches heaped on them by taxpayers is for economists to sort out.

They are nothing if not a contradiction - an anachronism that continues to defy the egalitarian instincts of modern society. At worst, the embodiment of a condescending, indifferent if not arrogant culture of privilege. If the one-percent were a hive, royalty would be their queen. At best, as much victims of that entrenched culture as the great unwashed who crane their necks for a glimpse. Birds in a gilded cage lacking the sense to leave when the door is left open.

Not an environment in which free-spirited Diana could - or would be allowed to - survive. Hence Harry's anger and the empathy perhaps due.


Never buy a dodge , especially second hand as you will have a lot of bills to pay.


Because a homosexual orientation is supposed to not be acted upon whether or not one enters the priesthood?  Since a priest sacrifices having a wife and family, how does one sacrifice something they don't desire to begin with?


Still need someone???


There's a part of me that hopes the GOP actually does get their bill through the Senate.  Then when the profit margins for Big Pharma, for profit hospital chains, and the AMA start nosediving bigly, these giants of the financial markets might see some benefit in a single payer system.  It's obvious the health of the constituents the GOP is supposed to represent is way down the priority list when it comes to health care.


The problem is that there is no equivalent to a PATRIOTIC  party, that TRULY would FIGHT for this Country. It is sold, owned by scavengers, rotten corrupted politicians who only think in their shit-soiled pockets. It is the same all over the world. This world is dominated by EVIL.


Oh do explain.

How does the US "allow" China to pollute?


All is not well where assisted suicide is legal. The foundation of assisted suicide movement is crumbling under the weight of pitfalls. There is documented abuse see Thomas Middleton Fed case where he was killed via the OR policy for his assets. A public policy failure.
I was my wife's 24/7 caregiver during her last 18 months of declining autonomy.
Pitfalls in assisted suicide laws need attention. We already have the right to refuse treatment. Many who believe in the concept under the choice banner have second-thoughts org when they read the language of the actual bill and realize our choice is Ignored and certainly not assured.


.

  No.

Being an assistant coach in a low- level team makes sense I think. His system might work there.  It has become outmoded in the US.  Say what you will but Rolo is a decent man with ethics and high expectations for his players.


Where is the candidate Republican or Democrat who has a program  to beat him next time?  Being "Not Trump" wasn't enough this time, after all.

Will I Hate Trump be enough for 2018 or 2020?


I guess I missed the part where it says "standing militia"?


I've always preferred to give money directly to the charity of my choice.


Yup, your partisan desires were not upheld, Jack. Clearly a crime has been committed…again, ha, ha, ha.


Thats what we need. Incompetent mentally challenged doctors. Go progressives go!


Oh no, the author and the feminists she quotes don't hate men - just masculine men.


" What he is saying is that if we give these employees a raise they will be happy and not try to improve themselves."
-Thats not what he is saying at all. In fact, its the opposite. When employees are happy and motivated they strive to do better. Thus, they are more valuable to the company and in return increases revenue. These happy motivated employees are the ones who get promoted.

"A populace that stagnates and gives up on any improvement. This is exactly what is wrong with the Progressive Liberal Democrat Party"
-It's literally called PROGRESSive. Progress is in the name. It is furthest from stagnation that you can get...

"How about cutting taxes so people to keep more of what they make now?"
-Trickle down economics has been proven not to work for a LONG time now. Time to update our thought processes. You realize if we 'cut taxes' then we the state will have even less $$ to pay for things like police officers, firefighters, national guard, state employees, etc?


PLEASE- it's going to be legal in less than a year- let's keep the "medical" pretense out of this. No prescriptions for marijuana PLEASE- just go and buy whatever you want and leave the doctors out of it!


That's a contradiction in terms.


If you read the investigative news article that the Register Guard published on deconstructing this shooting, you would know that there were no other witnesses to the shooting, other than the police marksman.   And that no video of any kind was recorded that showed the shooting, or what the police officer saw.

There is no way to know if Babb really pointed the rifle, or if the officer mistakenly thought that he was pointing the rifle at him.

The article also points out that Babb's hunting rifle was not loaded.   He had retrieved the rifle, but had failed to get any ammunition for it.

You should take the time to read that article.   Babb's VA counselor, who was initially on the phone with him during the incident, is highly critical of the Eugene Police.   Her testimony in court could potentially be very damning to the city.


The State of Hawai'i will be utilizing the Judiciary, to offset POTUS Trump's Executive Orders.

Since everyone, will be running to the Judiciary, to offset POTUS Trump's Executive Orders, don't expect much to be accomplished, for quite some time.

Since utilizing the Judiciary, is costly & time consuming, expect the Executive branch of government, to employ financial Darwinism.

The State of Hawai'i, better set up an office, inside the Judiciary, for at least the next 4 years.


Horrific. And Trump wants to dismantle the EPA.


It's a big problem, but any intervention targeted at the Chinese tours would be unconstitutional, wouldn't it?


What you so bitter about, another bitter lamb fan tired of getting their arse kicked by the Buffs?


University faculty have academic freedom, which means that they are allowed to study anything within their discipline. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is not entertaining "truther drivel" when it supports the right of faculty to pursue their own line of research.


No, they haven't been cited, or clearly stated, or posted anywhere.  What is it you think you're seeing, and where?


My preference is a form of secularism meaning all govt employees refrain from showing any religious identity. This means, for example, an elementary school teacher cannot wear a burqa in her classroom. This is also in-line with the idea of separation of church and state. Next. I would say it is unacceptable to have one's face completely covered in public; so I would also be in favour of a burqa and niqab ban, such as in many European, and even in some majority-Muslim, countries. This is also recognizing, I think, the fact that the burqa is basically the dress-code of Islamic fundamentalists and hard-line Islamists.


"Nones" is a colloquial term for U ofT students who don't have a religion? Better to call religious students faithers.


Yes of course there are guarantees in the charter which are meant to apply to third world regimes/dictatorships of which the US is not one.  I thought Canada had a list of countries that were supposedly "safe" where one could not claim the above to try and game the system into getting into Canada.  The law needs to be enforced here and these people sent back to the US right away otherwise what is the purpose of rules if you can just cheat to get around them?


The property owner obviously doesn't have a problem with it (since it's either the energy company, or someone that struck a deal with the energy company to drill there).

You're talking about people nearby that DON'T own the property where the drilling is taking place.


Blessed are the meek (those so wait for the lord) they shall inherit the earth.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Life is about the sheep and the goats (snakes and wolves).


Let's hope Mudiay isn't traded and becomes another Chauncey Billups. Coming into his own after several years, and winning titles. Steph Curry didn't light it up his first few years either. Not to say Mudiay will have a career like them, but it's too soon to give up.

The trade with Portland was bad. No doubt.


It almost seems like the author of the report knew what he wanted the results to say and defined "remedial" accordingly. Hmmm, why would he do that? Wait a minute. Isn't this the same guy that attempted a hostile takeover of Mt. Edgecumbe a year ago and was rebuffed? https://www.adn.com/education/article/university-program-proposes-taking-over-state-run-mount-edgecumbe/2016/02/02/
Was this report peer reviewed by anyone?


I was at the beach last week and a 4 ounce piece of fish with a few chips was $12.95, then $2.50 for a drink and then tax on top of this. I suspect this is where the economic growth is coming from. It is unsustainable in my opinion. Lunch for a family of 6 was $100. I think a lot of families will be packing their lunch from now on. You can buy a whole cooked chicken at Safeway for $12.


We aren't a country if we don't have borders, and don't respect them.


You'll note that Dunleavy has offered no credible plan for climbing us out of the $3 billion hole.  Clearly he believes that voters won't notice that either they solve the problem this year or there won't be a PFD for anyone.  Period.


...And 1st amendment rights...


Could someone please tell me what is so wrong with the Saddledome? Renovated twice, sound is fine (for concerts), great views of the ice etc.
No one has touched on this fact. Any idea' why?


For crying out loud, wake up!  They are not "investment advisors".  They are commission salespeople.  Until they are definitively prohibited from flogging any financial product or service in which they have a direct or indirect interest, there will be no ethics.

And notice that I did not add a qualifier about it being OK so long as they disclose their interest.  They will find a way to weasel past that.  Absolute prohibition.

And by playing along using the polite euphemism "advisor" this author is enabling them.


Totally agree with this article. Google the story of Dr. Peter Watts, a (white) Canadian sci-fi writer. In 2009, he was leaving (not entering) the US from Port Huron, over the Blue Water Bridge. US Customs stopped him for some unknown reason. He apparently questioned his treatment, and didn't respond to their orders quickly enough. As a result, he was roughed up, charged with a felony, and dumped on the Canadian side of the bridge without his car or jacket, in winter, in the middle of the night. The US Attorney's office refused to prosecute him, so Customs went through the Port Huron PD to press charges. He was subsequently fined $1600 by a US judge, and lectured on the importance of obeying US law-enforcement. He mercifully avoided jail.

Ask yourself if you really want to take a chance on being treated like this, and for what? Entering the US is like a negative lottery. Most of the time, you'll be okay, but if your number comes up, you can have a very, very bad day.


"You liberty loathing leftist conclude that unless we live in a federal police state, we will all perish."

I like to not be food poisoned.

"A deep love of individual liberty, & our constitution,"

While you voted for and hero worship Trump, a man known to hold and proudly declare beliefs that are completely opposed to the constitution.  Well done, buddy, well done! ;)


Wow, you're quite the violent thug, aren't you?  As far as I can tell, you're the "human failure" not the homeless.


Kathleen Wynne should be very concerned after seeing what happened to the Christy Clark Liberals.   The two governed from the same failed playbook.

Very unpopular

Former education ministers turned leader after long term previous leaders had to resign

Unpopular carbon tax that did nothing

A hugely unpopular clean energy program that only raised hydro rates and did nothing to clean the environment

Repeated scandals over lack of transpsparancy

Privacy Commissioner condemnation over repeated barriers to freedom of information

Deleted email scandals where staff charged

Rejecting calls to limit political contributions

Condoning and promoting pay for access

Imposing a band aid solution on real estate that will not work

Oh wait, Justin is guilty of many of these as well.

Maybe we can see Kathleen and his ouster  in the next election.

One can only hope.


There is no way to either "take" or refuse a pardon. It's an official act of the pardoning authority and doesn't need the permission or agreement of the person pardoned.


She has no case and her reputation is already destroyed so this another act of trickery on her part


I think you mean a Maui surcharge would go to Maui, correct?  I’m not sure where “.05%” is coming from (I also saw it on one of the conference committee drafts), but the rate is .5%.


she's no beauty queen eh

if you say that about her now only a yer into your relationship when love is supposed to be blind  I give your relationship  5 maybe 7 years tops


If Trump ever has to answer under oath he will need to resign very quickly.


Break??!!! WTH!!!! Get back to work and get it done!!!!


Do you understand what "critical thinking" means? It's evident that it's way over your abilities.


Not that you - a small Alaskan oil company owner who actually lives in Florida - has a dog in this fight eh, Donkel?
Why don't you be honest when you're on here shilling for yourself as an oil company owner?


Congratulations to Dean Hansen and Mitch Hagstrom and the Continental Bank Staff.
I only wish I had purchased the stock many years ago when it was privately held.  Now, it has gone through several variations.  A great local bank that has made good and gone on to statewide status.  Bravo!


Yes I read the article, but it's not very informative. It says the average price of milk went up 3 cents between 2014 and 2015, but never says what the average price is. It only gave Canada's highest price and lowest price, which doesn't really tell you a whole lot. Sorry but the fact that you can find reasonably priced milk at three Ontario Costcos doesn't equate to milk prices being "about that same" as they are in the U.S. Nor does $8/gallon milk being sold in downtown Toronto prove that prices are way higher.


Actually Richard, as of Saturday's count (and they're still counting as I write this) Hillary Clinton got 63,390,669 votes to Donald Trump's 61,820,845. That's 1,569,824 more votes for her than for him. The only way that Trump won was because he got help from the Electoral College (it's kind of like Affirmative Action). So if I were you I wouldn't be using your argument too often. 1.6 Million more Americans wanted Hillary Clinton to be president than Trump.


I challenge Paul Conte to answer these questions.

Describe the organization entrusted to use the roughly $250K settlement money from the LUBA appeal of Capstone in the interest of neighborhoods...

* Where can we read your organization's structure and processes (e.g., bylaws, incorporation as a nonprofit)?

* Is this group TrustTheNeighbors.org or some other entity?

* Who are your officers and how are they elected?

* When and where are your meetings?

* Are your meetings open to the public?

* What is the process to decide how to use these funds for further appeals?

* How many individuals actively participate?

* Are any city staff or councilors involved in these decisions?

* Are any members of city boards and commissions members of your group?

Any group that expects to be treated seriously by City Council in public processes needs to be transparent.

Yet you have refused to be forthright in your role feeding Councilors Brown and Clark the proposal you now support in this op-ed.


Sorry, her words require actual punishment. It's a Fed crime to threaten POTUS which she did.  No one is above the law.


Outsider: Stop worrying about them, and focus on the other outsiders. Become friends with *them*. Don’t try to copy the clique-y ones to get back at them. Just use the opportunity you have to make new friends with the other ones who are open to it. Heck, those guys could be your friends, too. It doesn’t have to be divided into men in one group, women in the other.

Also, like someone else said, they were friends already. They may not be doing it on purpose, they just have a history together. Sure, they could be more inclusive, but, like with the bachelorette party - why would anyone invite acquaintances to an event that’s meant to be for your closest friends?

You can’t force a close bond with a group of people whose main thing - or only thing - in common is that their significant others are friends. If it happens naturally, great, if it doesn’t, oh well, don’t take it personally. Make friends with those you can - girl or guy!


You're creating a false dilemma. The simple fact is that employers are hiring anybody who they can get. The employer may not provide health insurance and that may be due to the mandated types of coverage.


If the protesters at a sit-in have guns, and they've  made it clear that they're willing to use them, then there is no difference.


As Americans, we must feel bit dismay even if it is expected that our institutions ranked so low among all people of this land. This isn't about political parties or who is president. Decline began long before Trump....more like from Gerald Ford/Jimmy Carter days. Of course, that note will fall on deaf ears to those who will continue the blame game.


Kathryn Bigelow took similar "poetic license" with "Zero Dark Thirty," to the point of making it seem as though torture is what got Bin Laden captured. Since that premise was strongly disputed by those who actually knew something about it, I refused to see that movie. To my mind there's a difference between poetic license and historical revisionism, especially as it relates the highly controversial issue of torturing  human beings. The question for me with "Detroit" is whether or not Bigelow's "poetic license" ventures into the realm of historical revisionism to such a disturbing degree as it does with "Zero Dark Thirty." I'll do a little more research before I see the movie, which I'd like to do, since it's gotten such good reviews and also because I'm a big fan of the young English actor John Boyega.


Freddie: I live in the middle of this nonsense and often wondered the same thing.  The franchise overworks things and takes itself too seriously, in doing that, they lose the greater picture and actually accomplish little.  With all that money, I guess they don't have to worry about winning anything?


With so many comedians out of work.. why are you trying to be funny?!?!


Would giving you my name make your world a better place? It is sad that you attempt to point your dirty little finger at others and cast a label upon them like a child while saying they are not adults. The freedom this website allows to choose any name for myself appears to be keeping you awake at night. Just to cause you no more distress and pain, you may call me Rik. Now, you may resume your infantile ways.


If I hire someone to kill people for me, why would I care if they are male, female or the the sex of their choosing? Nobody asked me too many questions 45 years ago when I signed up and I was about as worthless as they come. I could, however, be trained to walk long distances and shoot people.


Have you been to Harrison Park? Do you have children there? What do you know about the "changes"  that need to be made regarding our neighborhood with 40 different languages in it?

Our students are SEVERELY BEHIND! How could you comprise their future for a field trip or how to make a circle? What kind of future are you slating for our children?

This is a desperate situation for children who are YEARS behind instruction. How can we allow this to happen? We live in a global society. Our students will be contending for jobs they will barely comprehend while fed pipe dreams by the upper class that foundations don't matter. Only those prepared will

Targeting our neighborhood because someone wants to do the same thing that they do in SW is insane. When did hard work become a luxury? These families of ours want support so their children will make it.  When is a child who is failing given a free pass? Our parents see this very clearly. Why doesn't anyone else? This is an atrocity.


Steven MacBride I guess you were sleeping or on another planet. You missed the smear campaign the Republicans put on during Obama's presidency for 8 years. And Obama treated everyone with respect and dignity something our present has never had.


Khadr never fought against Canada.


Somehow this level of cray only seems to be found among state senators. Though the House does also have more than its share of nuts too. At least the Democratic Party, of a red state, is willing to call her out on it.


Nothing to do with concerns about Russia? So what's the threat? The Swedes are going to invade because the Norwegians are kicking their butts in cross country?


I expect Granny Mao's speaking fees will be much lower now. :)


"Jamming through"...seriously?? It took just at 1 year to do the ACA. Plenty of meetings, some even televised. By comparison, It has been 6 months and the GOP has tried twice to come up with something. The secret Senate work by the 13 Guys was a highlight.
If you'll note, the taxes involved to keep the ACA funded fall on the highest income groups. Further, the insurance is not "free" but it is subsidized IN PART. So no, you didn't end up paying in any realistic sense for somebody's insurance.

To claim both parties are equally disinterested in the lower and middle class, you might want to examine just who will suffer the most under the GOP plan.


Canadian taxpayers are used to people making it on our money.  Usually politicians and their cronies.


It certainly seems to be true that many people are troubled by the changing world. In the US election, they voted for Trump, when it should be obvious to them that he is a fraud who will never (yes, never) do anything to help them. The times, they are a changin'. If you don't want to evolve with them, best get out of the way. My biggest fear is that Trump, in his childlike stupidity and obstinacy, will blow up the world.


Graduated in 2004; so not too long ago as I'd like to think that my experience is still relevant. I'm rather critical of your statement that what I said was "dumb" when let's see... if your daughters came along, say in the 1970s, that putting them now around 40 years of age they'd know a thing or two themselves and *might* just agree that many Alaskans have their heads in the sand about these types of crimes. Bear attacks and moose tramplings make headlines for days every time one happens. Yet hundreds of rapes a year don't get enough coverage to make it clear to this generation that the risk factors are real and people get horribly hurt and traumatized, it's beyond sad. Just saying!


Shameful ! With no more federal money, the legislature should just end this disaster at Middle Street. But our legislature is weak and
have not been able to make strong and principled decisions in the past. Their solutions have been to raise taxes , fees and anything else that they can think of.


S. Seybert, you think that's bad, you should see the load of crap the legislature is dropping this year.


Tax people's health insurance plans as compensation and provide a tax credit up to the amount to cover a normal plan.  Of course, Obama demagogued the heck out of that in 2008.  Also, allow everyone to have HSAs.


They should ask Trumps to build a hotel.


it's not guaranteed' to underperform. Don't be silly.

the author's OWN portoflio of etf's has grossly underperformed his colleague's (at globefund)active portfolios . Why is that? Also, he is usig his OPINION as to asset allocation; active investing....just different shades


This question and attendant headline are utterly ridiculous!  Has no one ever heard of a virgin Caesar?  Gin and tonic without the gin?  A Cuba Libre without the rum?

If this is the level of thinking and ingenuity of this person, perhaps they shouldn't even bother attempting to network.


"And there often seems a kind of willful blindness to the supernatural and evidence-free underpinnings of many of the increasingly popular (and, too frequently, government-sanctioned) alternative health practices."

Mr Caulfield is hardly a proponent on what is the truth, he has no academic credentials in science of any kind and as voiced his opposition to alternative medicine, another talking head who never met a column or microphone he didn't like.


This is what summer in Oregon sometimes looks like, particularly in the southern end of the valley. Winters here can be weird, too. Being new to the area, you aren't expected to know that.


That driver needs to go to jail and stay there for a while. What was he thinking? and why is he not in jail this morning. If this little special needs child had been killed then he is arrested. WOW this is pretty sad.


Erdogan is one of the world's thugs.  In the company of Putin, Trump,  and Orban.


Like Christy Natsis who caused the death of a father of three. Her breathalyzer readings of 209 (the limit is 80) were excluded by the judge due to charter violations.  And then of course there was Justin's mom.


Just up the street was Jack Kostenich's barber shop. Think my folks drug me in the for my first haircut!


Obama was the original birther with his bio stating he was born in Kenya. Hillary said Obama wasn't eligible during their campaigns in 2008. Obama's grandmother says he was born in Kenya.


I think the author needs to reread Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine".


The church presents celibacy as a charism, a gift, given to certain members of the believing community as a witness oriented to the kingdom of God in which women and men will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
The Sacrament of Orders celebrates and confirms the call of certain members of the community to celebrate the sacraments of the church with and for their sisters and brothers.
There is no logical or necessary connection between the two.  A person gifted with the charism of celibacy may or may not be called to Orders; a person called to Orders may or may not also be entrusted with the charism of celibacy.
The discipline that links the two -- that requires celibacy as a condition for orders -- artificially shrinks the pool of candidates for orders, and it disfigures the charism of celibacy. "Mandatory celibacy" is an oxymoron, if celibacy is understood as a charism.
Enforcing celibacy on a widowed deacon is simply, incredibly stupid. The bishop ought to be ashamed.


Liberal Progressives are a threat the to American way of life that the Majority of America believes in.  Country, Flag, Borders, Language, Culture, Military, Guns, God, Morals, Economy.


corbluo:

just pushing that special interest group aren't you, at everyone else's expense. Again, pay for it yourself if it is so important to you, and get out of my wallet.


Three of the bothersome essential benefits Trump and the House Republicans want to remove from their health care plan are in-patient care, out-patient care, and emergency room care. Oh, medications too. But other than that, your health insurance will be great.


your information is as week as your post.


Terrorists not anarchists....and that's the silliest things I've ever heard.


The problem with linking their compensation to your success is how do you measure success and when does the meter shut off.

In my opinion the only way an investor can really control their fees is by using the fixed rate per transaction.  You know what the total fee is upfront and you have full discretion over how much or little you incur in a year.  Any investor who is put in a position of feeling like they are being pushed to make trades should find another adviser (or gain the knowledge to manage their own affairs).

Percentage based models usually mean the meter is continually running - win or lose and regardless of how much or little work the adviser is actually doing.


muckamuck,  Putin is Trump's ventriloquist.


He was video-taped building IED's - the same IED's that killed Canadian troops. The entire Khadr family is a disgrace to Canada - their continued presence is a stain on this country. The Khadr family is one of traitors and cowards, they fought against Canada with the likes of rabid dogs in the Taliban - Khadr owes his life to the mercy of US troops. There is a $134 million civil ruling against Khadr in the US, $10 million will be a start. Any Canadian who sympathizes with Khadr is a disgrace to Canada - sympathy with traitors and cowards who fought alongside the Taliban. Have you no shame?


Comments are more helpful when they're based on fact.  Like this: http://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/files/serve?File_id=0856CFE3-D3FA-4E4E-99AD-1FF537180161


Just very glad I don't live in Hawaii anymore.  We'll see all you sensible people who pay taxes over here soon enough and then there won't be enough taxpayers to pay for these peoples cigarettes and drugs and I think it's safe to say that is going to be a problem.


Don't give price money and see how many Americans will win.


The land didn't belong to Israel and a state should never have been established in PALESTINE.


"Alaskans need a well rested & better informed legislature!"

Agreed. Let's give them their well-deserved rest in November.


Yep, you're an a hole


Wavemaker, Because I'm a genius I happen to know that none of the employee's involved are 'Alaskan'.


The Chinese are supplying the demand for elephant tusks, shark fins, rhino horns.....this is known worldwide.  This is not racist or biased or anti Chinese.....this is the absolute truth.  Just like N americans like their fentanyl......I dont deny this.   But to hide behind the truth that the CHinese not NOT wiping out nature due to there strange superstitious notions that tiger penis will make their penis bigger is bullcrap


You should check out a pizza joint where Hillary is running a child prostitution ring.


Trump loves enemies of liberal, democratic, true global multilateralism and doesn't have the time of day for natural allies.

Who wants to partner with a domineering, thin skinned, irrational and pernicious partner?


True. But bringing Uber and Lyft to Anchorage is the next step.
Taxi permit holders are terrified of losing their racket.


This stuff gets weirder by the day.  The mighty U.S. government cowed by a handful of hicks.  Bet ISIS, Russia, China, al Qaeda, N. Korea, etc. are having a ball planning their next strategy against Fortress America.


Clear sign the progressive indoctrinators have infested their schools.


With narrow and specific exceptions for people working for foreign governments, being born in Canada make you Canadian.


Using and dealing are the same because they're both equal parts of the same violent and dangerous lifestyle. Otherwise, I don't find anything in your comment, except perhaps your analogy to bank robbery, to dispute.


"Pay far too much"? Compared to what? Where do you think we are on the Laffer Curve? And why do you think that?


Big bummer. Gonna watch The Postman again. The words "you don't have to live like a refugee" spurred me on during a major life crisis in 2015. Love Tom Petty. Great guitar riffs!


Yup, it's tilting the ugly meter towards the hideous scale.


WAIT!  I thought Y2K was going to kill us all.
Are these the same experts that said 90% of us would die because of the Y2K computer problem?  Remember? Jan. 1, 2000, All the power companies, hospital equipment, banks, airlines, water treatment plants, rail roads would all shut down and not be able to boot up again.  Within days people would be fighting hand to hand for food.


Just to clarify - this was written by me (Ken Smith) when I was NOT on the School Board. This, the title should just be "Kenmore resident".


U elected him....  The rest of the world is laughing at you...  But so what....  I have more to say but will refrain not to hurt 300 million of my southern neighbors.


I wonder if Bennie's wife will take this all the way to SCOTUS now?


Thank you.  I was able to find a lot about him on the internet. I also read some "conservative" criticisms of Howard Zinn and now understand your response to my recommendation of his lecture. I found a lot of fault with the analysis, but that's a different story.  All analyses are inadequate. Even the best marine biologists in the world testifying on both sides of the Exxon Valdez spill trial couldn't agree on the science.

I was already aware of the many relationships between the US and Nazi Germany, and the mutual admiration. I think bankers in the US supported both Germany and the US, and I also believe that many Nazis were assisted in relocation to the US after the war. They were seen as assets in the cold war and in fighting communism.  I don't divide reality, not even political reality, into right/left, liberal/conservative.   I don't blame things on the "right" or the "left."  I'm a-political but I have to admit that this election is interesting, and I can't read enough.


Here are some of the attorneys Mueller has hired:

Zainab Ahmad, a top national security prosecutor on detail from U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York.
Rush Atkinson, an attorney on detail from the Criminal Division's Fraud Section at the Department of Justice.
Michael Dreeben, an appellate attorney on detail from the Office of the Solicitor General, described by former colleagues as one of the brightest criminal law experts of the past two generations.
Andrew Goldstein, a public corruption prosecutor on detail from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York.
Adam Jed, an appellate attorney on detail from DOJ's Civil Division.
Lisa Page, an attorney on detail from the FBI's Office of the General Counsel and a former trial attorney with the Criminal Division's Organized Crime and Gang Section.


I would describe the proposed regulation as "over", WAY over.


Thank you for the Council breakdown, but as you say "nice try."

1.  Conservatives in London (metropolitan, not City of) are very liberal.  There would be no expectation at all that a Conservative member would have voted to  cut housing and social services in K&C.
2.  Net spending on Housing 2016/17 to 2016/17 has increased in the Burrough (based on budget) from £15,152,000 to £16,886,000.  (Check it out on the Council Website)
3.  You have not provided anything to back up your assertion that Conservatives voted to decrease funding for housing; you are just towing the liberal party line that says conservatives vote to defund, but clearly as the budget numbers above state, funding is going up.

Check your facts and check your privilege my friend!


None that are currently on the books.


Well, obviously UH football needs to be eliminated. What an obscene salary!


Perhaps you should read the article.  It's about Alaska.  Not Trump.
But as we've seen in the past, with our legislators, especially the group of republican CBC members, the lobbyists could toss a few fifties on the floor and they went groveling.


It's not about the union. It's about the kids, and the hack Donald found for education secretary with no credentials, no credibility, and ignorant ideas.


if they make a judgment based on the laws and society rights of that time and find in favour of those wronged, great, lets deal with those actually who had this happen and move on. BUT lets not judge the actions then on standards we set today.


Cut off their hands and feet just to make sure.


With all the vagrants living on our streets, drunk and shirtless is getting more common everyday. I sat at the traffic light at SE Barrington and 20 and watched a homeless couple smoke a joint while holding their beggar's sign. Classy.


Yes, let the government fund the media (and thereby the salaries of those in the media).

You only have to look at the CBC's constant fawning over Trudeau/inability to let the Duffy thing go to see which political party promises the most goodies to them.


I'm surprised there haven't been more comments about the attraction of getting instant pot.

Oh, wait ...

;{O)


This is why we need to make Alaska a Right to Work State. The unions don't need to run the State of Alaska anymore.

Catholic morality ought to respect the actual outcomes of children since it harps on the notion that two straight parents are always superior to anything else. What is the proof except the outcome of the kids?


I think the DP editorial board barely knows what's involved with changing out a flat tire on a car. That's how out of touch they are with normal Americans and that's why they don't know the difference. Either that or they are a bunch of deceptive schleps.


I dont know (re 'bad form'); every now and then I think I had such a great thought or a funny comeback I WANT to like myself!  Ok, so I usually resist but still, I'm tempted.


LOL!  People who want to question her experience can just truck on out there and check tracks - then they'll know, one way or the other, and be able to talk from a truly informed position.


Better odds than Vegas.


Excellent, truly excellent.


This is a BS piece of made up DNC propaganda being spoon fed to the willful idiots that refuse to do their own research.


So in Canada when the Senate stands in the way of a an elected Parliament and thwarts the will of the people we call for the abolition of the unelected and unaccountable body, but the Globe feels that In Britain Parliament must listen to a similar unelected body.


And you, of course, were all ready-teddy in support of our last REAL president, no?


As soon as Trump and Devoss do away with the establishment clause of the first amendment, I'm sure our friends at the Anchorage Baptist Temple will be itching for some good old state money to fund their anti science, anti evolution, anti-climate change "madrassa" school.

Speaking of "madrassas", what would stop an ardent Muslim from starting one using state money?

Be careful what you wish for, Trump supporters.


Time to blow this team up and start over. The overpaid, brittle, injury prone players they have are only going to get worse. Their only half decent reliever Osuna now has an "anxiety" issue? Give me a break. Why doesn't he talk to real people that have real issues and don't play a game earning millions .
Put a fork in them.


"... the media are merely representing us ... ie the whole world...."

Speak for yourself. Many of the world's people do not approve of justice by lynch mob.


I'm not attempting to tell you for whom you should vote. Just attempting to even the playing field.  I totally understand why many good, sincere, honest and honorable people don't seek elected office.


The Holy Spirit was speaking especially strongly and boldy and confidently in small font footnote #351!!


And the best part is Obama and Bush carried out basically the same foreign policy of disastrous misadventures in the Middle East. Obama spent more and racked up more debt than all previous presidents combined. Race relations are worse than they were since the 1960's. His only legacy other than destruction of our influence and stature is a failed healthcare law which no one likes save a few true believers. All propped up by a dishonest and complicit media who can't criticize the first "black" president. These guys are still blaming Bush, who was also a nightmare.


Was it his own money, or was it from the Trump Foundation which is money other people have donated?


Canada is becoming the new 3rd World.  Compare the returns of the US Stock Market to that of Canada.  There is no business investment confidence in this country as our government is focused on environmental and social issues, catering to special interest groups, opening the door to refugees and illegal border crossers, basically we are importing poverty.


Tulsi is no Harry Kim as Kim has consistently shown in his two terms when he ran for Mayor of Hawaii that he would not accept large donations or donations from any company or PAC unlike Tulsi who is trying to show people that she is the "goody 2 shoes" by not accepting PAC monies while she goes galavanting around the world appeasing leaders like Assad in Syria...why didn't she campaign on those issues before her constituents....haw....do you think she would have been elected??  How can her constituents be so duped as to ignore what she supposed to be doing and that is representing her congressional district yet her supporters think she is the greatest...greatest of what that she would advocate the U.S. to appease people like Assad to avoid war....give me a break......and now she wants to run for national office or even Sen. Hirono's seat.....give me a break!!!


You really want to direct people to Heller, Dog?

You risk folks coming to the realization that the internet representations of the Second Amendment have been liberally (or conservatively as the case may be) edited and bastardized to support NRA-speak.

Never understood how the SCOTUS took concept that "a well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state" (which is what the 2nd actually says) and extended to a right not to be required to have trigger locks on home kept weapons.   An additional low point for the same basic Court that gave us Citizens United.

Both good examples of how constitutional provisions, and their interpretation are subject to political winds as much as legal ones.   Which is why I agree that as currently configured, the SCOTUS takes the side of gun likers to use the 2nd to knockout any attempt to legislate gun restrictions.

But, that doesn't stop constitutional amendment, nor future changes to the make up of the Supreme Court.


Warner's right.  The investigation needs to be allowed to go where it goes.  This will either clear Trump or implicate him but firing Mueller or pardoning those indicted would be seen by the world as motivated by guilt and as obstruction of justice.  For the future of the GOP, the American justice system and the Trump administration, this controversy must be brought to a legitimate conclusion. Obfuscation, accusations and disproven denials won't do, we need to establish what happened, whether, or which, people were involved and stop Russian meddling in our future elections


The charges do not fit the crime. If she woke up and he was having sex with her, while she was sleeping, that's RAPE not molestation.


you feel that jews are suicidal and immoral unless Jews are prepared to vote that Jews are illegal at the wailing wall.  Why?

What do you suppose the reaction of Arabs to such a vote would be?  Recall that Arabs aren't Quakers.  Indeed, if they had been Quakers they probably wouldn't have cleansed  Jews from the Wall in the first place, not to mention from various Arab countries.


Having to resort to personal insults, Rmiller?

Really?

You lose...


$ 60 Billion? I feel the reasons Alaska's laws are pro monopoly is that they are written by the wealthy majors to bring Alaska's oil wealth to London and Houston not to Alaskans!
It was sad in 2009 they only raised lawmakers' salaries from $24,012 to $50,000, now they want higher quality leaders so the think it is time to decrease it, why?
This seems to be the same reasoning the DNR uses for lease sales, the state offers many millions of acres but could only get bids on less than 5% and sometimes no bids so the DNR reasoned if they increase the oil & gas lease rentals 1,000 to 8,000% the DNR DOG would get more but they got no bids! They increased the Minimum bid from $10.00 to $25,00 in CI 15 and got no bids!
I feel they buy leaders, this may lead to another FBI investigation and maybe we will see more oil & gas bribes and maybe 20% of the state leader may go to jail not lust 10% like last time when VECO, Bill Allen, Vic Kohring and many more legislators were on top of Alaska CBC list.


Really skyline, you feel the left engages in more name calling then you far right types.  Objectively was trump or hillary more into the name calling?  Is jackbauer or retireefinally heavier on the name calling then say, The workfarce or Chris in Ottawa?   BTW Merkel does not belong to a left wing party, nor did Obama and Hillary...nor does Trudeau.  You  just detest the centre as well so like to 'label them as left wing.  As a person who is left wing I find that labeling old.   You know me skyline I believe that finance capitalists like yourself are the root of the problem despite your deflections that it is the government and everyone else...


Lovely Island!  I have not been able to afford any trips off of Oahu though.


I agree with half of that but Walker has not been fiscally responsible with the state's money.  He has hired unnecessary executives with super salaries, opened $10 Million marketing offices in Texas and Japan.

He used state money to hire a political consultant for his next campaign running as a Republican in the Democratic party again.  Looks like Democrats are stuck with him again running against an even worse Republican.  Wonderful.  How is that even fair?  Get out of our party!

When Walker came into office, he admitted SB21 was a failure.  He stated for the first time in state history we are making less than zero on our oil.

Instead of raising awareness and lobbying for change, Walker traveled the state pushing for an income tax and theft of our PFD, the exact opposite of what he promised before he was elected.

What we should be discussing right now is how to get our fair share of oil revenue. If we were taking our fair share of 1/3=+$3 Billion...there would be no crisis.


oh please bush had nothing to do with the crash, you can though thank clinton for it since it was he who forced the banks to give sup prime loans that created the mess


Yep we'd all love to see the "evidence".  Why doesn't Donny disclose the evidence?  May be it is just a minor detail.


Hold on. The article states that 80% of the University's revenue comes from tuition. My argument is that without easy student loans, that percentage would be much, much smaller, because students would just choose not to go if they couldn't afford it (like in the old days). It is impossible to deny that student loans are enabling the University to charge more and the state to provide less, when the amount of loans nationally is $1.3 trillion and on the rise. If that's not taking advantage of indebted students, I don't know what is.


You like that line, you use it so often.


Mr Dunce is still practicing for Scaramouche's new program "Dancing with the Self-fellators"


Faith and science are intermingled everyday in the field of healthcare.  From brain surgery to childbirth to cancer treatment to saving lives from accidents to intentional harm from criminal activity.  Surgeons, nurses, orthopedists, cardiologists all do their humanly best with the skills and advancements and treatments and techniques and pharmaceuticals available.  Once their job is done,  faith, hope, patience, divine intervention is depended upon by most including the patient, the staff, and the specialists.


I noticed the graphic they just put in this is for renting a 2 bedroom HOME, not an apartment. So now a minimum wage job is supposed to get someone a 2 br house?


It should be obvious that Wynne is not going to hang around to face the electorate. She is going to resign, and the Liberals are going to make some fall guy/girl leader in the hope voters forget that it's not Wynne but the Liberal Party that got Ontario into the mess it is in.

Wynne will retire to run some newly-minted organization with a nebulous purpose but a lower six figure salary and entitling her to another pension after seven years of 'service', funded by guess who.


OK BOB, we agree! My point is, our country needs to export our resources at world market prices until such a time that the world doesn't want them anymore! Anything else would be complete and utter lunacy!...I think you would agree with that!


I see our resident racists have not shied away from supporting their brethren.


See how open-minded and magnanimous the orange-coiffed one is? He is actually, maybe, willing to look at facts and listen to experts. His experts! Of course he won't admit that himself. That's what underlings are for. There are important tweets to attend to, action heroes to disparage, boasts to be made.

Oh, and the sad, horrible, lying media, still conspiring with Hilary and the Dems to make the Donald look immature and unpresidential. Too bad. Such a shame. But NO WAY, not after the 20th!


Seeing as how she wasn't attacked by the homeless guy, I'm not sure what your point is.


Lineups would be too long. But what you suggest would be very good for pharmacists - who'd be looking for their own slice of the "marijuana pie."


Fraser served as a Brigadier General, not as  a Major General, in Afghanistan.....


I was asking the same question yesterday.

Given their bromance, how was Trudeau not able to succeed with Obama on this.


Maybe to that land out by the airport? I'm assuming, though, that the county owns the fairgrounds. If so, moving it would involve some complexity like a land swap and/or a big chunk of cash, even if the county does agree.


Exactly.  The top combined provincial + federal tax rate is 47.7% in BC so there isn't a lot of room to raise it much further without crossing the 50% barrier which most have said is the psychological barrier and tends to have negative impacts.  Sure the NDP might just raise the top rate from 14.7% to 16.8% which would give a combined rate of 49.8% thus staying under 50%, but this wouldn't bring nearly enough revenue to cover their costs.  They have to raise taxes on the middle class or PST to cover them and good luck selling that politically, thus they won't do this.


John:  tut, tut.  We all know that a celibate priesthood is without problems.


Do you think "that fascism serves the interest of capital more efficiently"?    Does fascism not breed discontent and therefore become self-defeating?   Are there valid indicators of fascism improving the interests of capital in the long-term?  Is there any real difference in the improved economic conditions of eg China vs South Korea?


I wonder if commander fancy socks gave Gord an update on how this Liberal government has been solving the clean drinking water issue on aboriginal reserves. I suspect no update was given because no progress has been made despite all the commander's belly aching. RIP Gord.


NOt always a cut and dry situation so the courts will have to judge each accident on their own.


I look forward to seeing how well this works!


Read Alicja Baranowska's comment.


Kind of like "the less Kiszla writes, the better the Denver Post Bronco coverage becomes."


Does anyone proof read these at the DP?
"The vast majority of drivers who survived and tested positive for marijuana use — last year it was 100 percent — were found to have the drug at levels that indicated use within a few hours of being tested . . . "

So you are saying that EVERY driver who survives a crash is positive for MJ?  That's what "100 percent" means.


'
Thanks Harry,


At the podium;
"Bonjour Washington;
Je suis tres joyuex de parlez avec nous,est  mon tres bonne amis, President Trump...."
etc etc
"We have TWO languages...dig it folks,we are uber cool."
What a weak attempt at "statesmanship"...


Why apply for citizenship? Just move there. That's what the Trumpophobes say is OK to do here. But when you do, make sure you pay your taxes, because that excuses being an illegal.


Sick hobby. People trying to live acting like it's 1890.  I hope that soon Alaska can come into the 21st century but it seems unlikely.


It HAS changed from when a vast majority of these brains received their damage.


What?


The resolution to automation is not to discourage it. It is going to happen regardless  what we do. If we ignore it our trading partners will eat our manufacturers' lunch.

One solution is to encourage a lot more small businesses serving local markets  However, this is old school and unlikely to put everyone who looses their job to automation back to work. Equally important is a change in attitude by ordinary people.

Workers must adapt to the new jobs of the future rather than expect job to be tailored to their needs. Unfortunately the jobs of the future have not yet been created so workers cannot train for them until they arrive.

Our government should commit to more retraining programs as well as support to selective economic sectors that are showing success in this turbulent environment.


The silly thing is you're getting mad at the wrong person. They are working less due to burnout and being attacked by government and now people like you. Provincially MDs are paid less than 50% of recommended fee. Your family doctor is paid $30 for a visit, they keep about $15 after expenses to the clinic. They work 70+ hours/week to see people like you at the expense of their health and family.  Now they're being penalized by the Federal government for putting in more hours..what incentive is there to keep going at the expense of your own health and family when now the government will take 73% of every paycheck. It's outrageous.


Omar and the entire Khadr (self-described al Queda) family have made fools of the Canadian government.
There is no excuse that rationalizes paying Omar $10.5 million.
We must look ridiculous to the rest of the world.


Yes, because Rachel Notley was responsible for the bottom falling out on the world price of oil.  O'Leary seems to miss that very important fact about the Alberta situation.


Do we have indigenous approval for this?


Just another BLM Thug...won't work here..go back when you came from..


The upbeat tone of the column bears no relation to how the game went.  Your Js were outplayed in all aspects of the game, all aspects.  Pitching, hitting, defence, running the bases, fundamentals, power, bullpen.

CWS might be 31-36, and last in the AL Central, true, but Your Js, they are 32-35 in AL East, also in last.  Your Js 3 games out of the WC, CWS only 4.  CWS have a RD to the good by 8 runs, Your Js to the bad by  21.

So now, Your Js hafta win tomorrow to avoid a sweep at the hands of 1 of the few teams in the AL with a worse record than they.  Unbelievable.

And please, Stroman gave up 3 HRs.  Solo or not, that's not good pitching, he certainly did not have a good game.  His game score, for those who take note of such stats, was 46.

46 is not good.  Nothing wrong with being positive, but being in denial is something else entirely.


For God's sake, of course they did.  Why do you think they were hours from taking it to a vote?


Exactly!  You can't condemn one teacher for spreading falsehoods when there is another whole publicly funded school system set-up and based completely upon a fantasy story.


Good questions, and I agree with much of what you say here. I don't agree with the conclusions you draw, though. Yes, the measure doesn't stipulate the amount of the "other funds," and so our elected officials have to deliberate about exact allocations as the budget and revenue picture takes shape. But this is why we elect them. We wouldn't want to do this two years ahead of time on a statewide ballot. And the Measure does provide a constraint. The revenues have to go the designated areas. Yes, other funds can be moved around but the new revenues are strictly designated. A process has to take place.

Does funding alone create a wise and effective educational plan for Oregon? Of course not. But without stabilizing our revenues and our tax structure it will be more difficult for any plan to work.

Finally, I am probably as pessimistic as you about the potential for positive change in our educational system. But I'm going to keep fighting for it. We need the funding to have a chance.


Should 74-year-old Slom lose in 2016, one wonders if being out of office will give him more time to date younger women, OR if his no longer being a state senator will make him less desirable to younger women.  It's one of the many mysteries of Slom.  Perhaps Malia Zimmerman and Slom's more recent youthful paramours will write about this subject on her Hawaii Reporter website.


Aloha, Slu - So 10 congressional committees have participated in hearings on Benghazi, and those investigations have yielded 13 reports. None has yet to identify any wrongdoing on Secretary Clinton's part. You find her "Benghazi conduct" egregious, so I'm curious why you think these investigations, led by some of her fiercest critics, have yet to hold her accountable. Is she manipulating a GOP-dominated Congress and her critics, too?


Dumboski is part of that group in our country that has an elected leader that promotes this attitude. It will just get worse in the next four years. But let's not forget....it's all hidden by a Christian facade.


The numbers and the link I cited were from Oak Ridge National Laboratories, a branch of the U.S. Department of Energy and its largest lab focusing on energy research.

Like many self-styled 'skeptics', you display your own ignorance at every opportunity.


He wasn't elected because he was loved. He was chosen to put a stop to Le Pen. Not that different than Trudeau's landslide win to put an end to Harper.


Indeed.  And wouldn't it be nice if Colorado would be as aggressive in dealing with companies that routinely disregard the law.  Fat Chance!


So robbing banks and homeowners is a better trade off?? Its up the individual to make the right decisions in life to better themselves. But please, lets blame everyone else for the downfall of individuals instead of letting them be accountable for their own actions and choices. That's the American way now.


hey!


He just needed to sell something valuable for more drugs. Now days these idiots pop up daily in our news. Do we need more?


Hinson should run for office.  I'd vote for him.


I have mostly confined my activism to writing letters to legislators and media regarding laws and causes that I support or oppose. But I will be joining a protest group on the 21st in our city. I have a friend who uses a cane or walker. She is so incensed about our president-elect's shenanigans that she is attending, and she and another friend have convinced me to participate with them.


Salt Lake City would be perfect!


Not necessarily.  The estate tax (and gift tax) are taxes on the transfer of property.  It is entirely separate from the income tax.  We can have a discussion on the merits or fairness of a tax on the transfer of property, but it really should be a separate discussion from income tax, which is a tax on earnings and profits.  And accumulated wealth that is a result of growth in value or appreciation can entirely escape income taxation when passed to a succeeding generation because of the rules relating to step ups in basis.


So should I infer from your posts Joe that rational think is not a reactionary value? Or is it also the liberals who are deleting my posts? Get a grip.


Duffy was a tool of the CPC which abused the power of government for partisan purposes.
It makes you wonder how long Mr Duffy was a loyal minion? Was it the case while he was still in "the media"?
And Duffy was being loyal to the boss who gave him his job, so the main issue was the payment of money by a party functionary in order to conceal their actions from the people of Canada.
Yet one more example of a failure by the RCMP.


"Trump’s policies threaten Alberta’s economic recovery"

----------

No...

Notley’s policies threaten Alberta’s economic recovery

Wynne’s policies threaten Ontario’s economic recovery

Trudeau’s policies threaten Canada’s economic recovery

Stop looking for scapegoats...own up to what YOU have done.


Please do share your extensive library of Liberal misdoings over the last year.
I'm sure you will even back them up with reputable links, also!


Sweden has a conservative government right now LOL


May I remind you of my many messages - Colorado will not tolerate your support of this mess so I do hope you've some solid new career plans in place.


Harper had enough of a populist message during his tenure which was agreeably marked in message of fiscal pudence during the financial crisis and the subsequent nascent recovery.

Trump has changed the conversation to jobs, so called free trade and immigration by extension.  Our conservative party want's to retreat from the Harper era to something that won't reflect in a portion of the base that has evolved.

It is ok to not vote in federal election going forward. If your global view as it pertains to home is not represented-don't worry about being criticized with the usual arguments. It is about the only incursion one can  still say no to in this country.


Yes, it's a coming-of-age story.


We should learn the word  TAQIYYA. the pious Islamic practice of telling  lies to deceive non believers to promote and defend Islam. . It  is very effect on soft headed liberals.  It is as important to Islam as charity is to Christianity.


Joe, now that you've interviewed the packers, please interview "cow-calf producers."
Neither the NCBA or Colorado Cattlemen's represent cow-calf producers.
Please contact individuals including Bill Bullard (R-Calf), Jess Peterson (US Cattlemen's), and Representative Kimmi Lewis.
Thank you.


Well done Garrison.    I've also noticed that the Prsesident is prone to change his mind.   That's a very good thing.   I not only don't care, but will applaud if Pres. Trump moves closer to some of my values.   The kind of push back Pres is facing from the successful men and women who have careers in government service, is not the same as working with those who depend on you for their wages.

That's a good thing for the President, he needs partners, not employees, to give him the truth.  How he learns the common world most of us live in, will determine his success.    I'm not optimistic honestly, but we owe the next generation hope.


No public money for them either,also tax the venues including golf courses.Two wrongs don't make a right.


This is flying off on a tangent.  I'll just say this:  that this is the first time in my 27 year career when I've received criticism for asking a demographic question.  That's all.  Thanks, Tesa, for at least reading the results file.


in his letter, Wajahat Nasir uses the word "barbaric" to describe Sunday's mosque attack. Indeed. We recall that Kellie Leitch claims to be much concerned about fighting "barbaric practices". So why was her voice conspicuously silent when other leaders rightly responded with compassion and outrage after the attack?


The Republicans say they want their health care/health insurance bills to provide the same things the Democrats wanted when they passed Obamacare. Cut premium costs, offer choices, subsidize costs for those who cannot afford it, cover pre-existing conditions, offer policies that cover things people typically want. And they want more people covered by insurance (noting that do not want insurance companies to leave the exchanges). But just to satisfy a few conservatives, they cut coverage, cut Medicaid,  and cut taxes-- this contradicts what they want to accomplish! Stop the cuts-- they hurt people and only benefit the very, very few who get the tax cuts. Then fix the exchanges-- the insurance companies have suggestions on that, so have some hearings. Then they get a bill like they want!


Non payment of taxes, leads to the most representation for the rich. Payment of taxes amongst everyone else, leads to little or no representation. Seems like a revolutionary concept to me.


Take a break and go swimming at the pool, maybe pee in the water so you can get back at all the military lovers.


I hope you are right about that.
I also hope there is a full scale investigation on all of the shenanigans the Liberals were up to... starting with crown corp debt. Then real estate. Then some of the other scandals.


This is now front page news across the nation. Is that "being a doormat" to you?


Well, feel free to join MADD or any other cause you consider worthwhile. I'm going to stick with trying to pass legislation to tighten restrictions on semi-auto weapons.


You shouldn't need to register the shares directly with the company.  Best to call TD Waterhouse to confirm their policy on DRIP discounts.


Those things don't matter...she has a GREAT STORY about how hard she worked to get out from under the poor choices her mother made. That's all that matters.


Originally natives were backing Brazeau, the beefy bruiser home boy who was going to beat sh!t out of a limp wristed white boy with pretty hair.  Brazeau was the Great Red Hope. Nobody took into consideration Brazeau's smoking.   Tax free native cigarettes get credit for his wheezing collapse in the ring.


What an excellent football game.


No one's going to ask Trump: During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?


Just a reminder for everyone: the polls immediately following the conventions mean even less than usual. The conventions are intended to stoke emotions, and polling right after them picks up a lot of in-the-moment feelings that tend to settle back to a baseline a couple of weeks later.


I don't agree, it hasn't slowed Kay down at all.  In fact, he is more vocal than ever


I did a project on this in grade school...in 1978!! The fact it is still an issue is pretty disgraceful. It could have been cleaned up for a fraction of the "green" dollars we have squandered on wind and solar projects.


so how do we boost our non resource exports? What do we make/do that is needed by the rest of the world and we do better than anyone else?


Right-o.  Because cops are just such stand up guys and gals.  Keep telling yourself that.


How about we start with Gorka, who is associated with Hungarian neo-Nazis and who wore a medal associated with the Hungarian Nazi collaborators?


Ms. Clark was arrogant and abrasive and brushed Linda off...very rude IMO. I am left of Centre but would be loathe to vote for someone like this...


Yes, sadly and seriously.  I'm as pissed at Trump as anything else.

Still, my dad and I talked about it for a while today and feel like we need to send a message. He wanted to burn all the tickets for the year, I wanted to sell to some good friends who happen to be Raiders' fans. This is our compromise. Not watching the game on TV either. I don't buy a lot of Bronco gear but I won't burn my TJ57 jersey or my SA27 either.

Good thoughts about donating to vets or kids. Probably won't happen as empty seats are the idea here. We'll see how the season goes and where this protest goes. Didn't watch the game yesterday which felt weird. It sounds like I didn't miss much.


You are retarded if you inferred any political affiliation/policy position from that article. It states that one should practice good hygiene...


At some point in this squabble, you know the dollar signs popped up in her eyes.  Apparently, the husband was waiting at the arrival site holding up a sign asking if anyone has video of the incident.

They should throw her in jail.


Please, G & M, don't make these  wrong changes to the way readers post comments.
It was perfectly good the way it was.
These new changes make commenting too slow and unwieldy.
Further, the emoticons are silly and childish. Showing the names of those who disagreed will increase personal vitriol.
The best thing about comments was thumbs up or thumbs down because that way a person knew if his or her opinions were popular or not.
  It's now difficult to find if anyone has replied to a post.
Receiving an email notifying a poster that he has received a response was also an excellent feature.
  The best features have been removed, replaced by bad ones.
   Many readers have now left this website, as shown by the large decrease in the number of comments posted in this Letters to the Editor page.
  Please cancel the changes. They are time-consuming, childish and ridiculous.
  I question the intentions of the G & M in making these frustrating changes.


Words fail me.   Incredibly tragic and sad.  Love and support to an incredible family  who knows how to love and live with nature well.


The "blind bidding" is a feature of the market here that is as bad as "gazumping" is in the UK property market.    Gazumping is so bad that it actually is a word that means "to swindle".

The practice of massively overshooting the list price on the first bid (by 20% or more) happens so much at the moment it's suspicious.   For example, does that so-so semi down the street in a catchment with so-so schools really warrant $220k over the asking price of $799k?

I also have been hearing of stampedes of people attending open houses and have to wonder if all are really interested in the housing market, or are there some people being paid (or otherwise incented) to create "traffic" and make people increase the amount they bid.   Some of the open house attendance numbers I've heard are so high they are ridiculous.   They aren't credible given how often there are on-line viewing options now.


Really ?   What now ?


It should be clear to everyone that there is no single problem in this matter. The factors involved are numerous and extend well outside the criminal justice system. Tinkering with the rules of evidence or retraining investigators is not going to fix it.


I am woman of 59, live in  Id. & a good friend of mine lives in FL.. The RIGHT TO WORK STATES.Both pay slave wages. Both states the RICH Corp.& Bus. owners are the one's who profit, while they make majority of people  poor or homeless. TRUMP  look at the statistics, of both states w/people on welfare & or unemployed. Reason being the EMPLOYER can fire you for no reason or make up one, so he is not breaking a federal law on firing. No recourse. Ex: Employed for 10 yrs. HEAD GARDNER, for homeowners assoc. GOLF COURSE,  board members are Rich Calif, transplants. I was a key employee, never  wrote up, was forced to work 20 hours overtime every week for regular pay. Trained  volunteer woman who lived on the course on how to, do my job so they could fire me in 2015. Hired a kid to do the weeding & grunt work, for 9.50 per hr. & eliminated me & pay of a whopping $13 hr. started @7.50 hr All to save 28$ a day. Try living on that TRUMP. Get rid of RTWSL. like Wash. people live good there.


He'd probably be more disgusted with the shrieking leftist media making up fake news stories daily. If anything is true of Thompson it's that he was his own man. I'm sure he would not be blindly following the lemmings on the left over the cliff.


LMBO!!!! Might could be at least partly why she is an "Ex Mother In-Law"??!!


his act is getting so tiresome - you need to vomit after it


While I support initiatives to raise the minimum wage, I do not think that Ellison's proposal here is fair to people who have struggled to purchase a home. His plan calls for decreasing the mortgage interest tax benefit in order to help subsidize low income housing. This punishes and puts the burden on middle class working families, instead of where it belongs . . . the EMPLOYERS who do not pay a living wage to their workers!  Why should homeowners pay for housing because Walmart doesn't  want to pay their workers a living wage?  If you own and operate a business, it is your responsibility to pay your workers a fair wage.  It isn't the nation's responsibility to HELP a business owner by housing their employees!


Yes, let them buy their own.


With Donald gotta be Ultra...#MAGA


What good is it if the average American household income is roughly $10,000 higher if the cost to live is $15,000 higher. Politicians keep promising a higher income but has anyone looked at the price rise of everything except gas of late. I also remember when the high price of gas was blamed for increased costs but has anyone seen the prices dropping lately on anything? This Secy of Treasury helped the banks walk off with billions  and the CEO's walk with millions upon millions.


People are hounding the P uppet M aster on on Social Media, this is his way of trying to "appear IRREGULARY" that he has a handle on it.  It's illegal PERIOD!


he will be best remembered for the taint associated with the airbus scandal


they really expect to get away with the criminal conduct surrounding that illegal contract for the taj mahawker.

what's more, they expect to get paid for it...a lot.

if we alaskans let these people spit in our faces while picking our pockets, there isn't one single crumb of self-respect left to divide among us.

somebody needs to go to jail.  i'd go so far as to say several people need to go to jail.

somebody needs to pay that illegal contract out of their own pockets, if it is, indeed, paid at all.  the public was never represented in the 'negotiations'.

what is wrong with us?  is theft in broad daylight just hunky-dory as long as it is committed by the right people?


Nothing uncivil in this :)


BTW, it's very apropos that the clown-in-chief, and typical Faux viewer (AKA, lover of fake news), Drumpf, was involved not JUST in fake television as a game show host for a "reality TV show, he ALSO was involved in fake wrestling.


Lol, you just showed how poor your reading comprehension really is! 3 homes in 2 different countries...is the United States no longer a country? Lmao. The USA (1 country) and Italy (1 country) 1+1 =2. Lol, you either can't count or can't read. Probably both. Anyone that accredits there success or demise to the presidency is just pathetic. If you can't adjust to political or economic changes than you'll never be truly successful. Control your own destiny and stop riding on the coat tails of others.


He was only one year shy of the legal marriage age in Canada, he knew what he was doing and so did his parents. He is a murderer.....no question about it. That money should go to the widow of the man he killed.


@Rick Tubania:  While it may be true that no one person has filed for bankruptcy, did you maybe think that a person could still be kicked out of their place of residence because of the GET and it's multiplier effect on the cost of food, health care, and medications?  Maybe they literally couldn't afford to declare bankruptcy because they didn't have money to hire a lawyer?  The last time I checked, there are a lot more homeless people now than back in 2008 when the GET tax didn't exist.  My point in all of this is you cannot say without a shadow of a doubt that the .05 percent surcharge hasn't resulted in someone becoming homeless.  Remember that only the middle class with enough assets and the rich can afford to actually declare bankruptcy (lawyers are expensive), so you saying that "no one (individuals) have filed for bankruptcy because of the .05 percent surcharge" doesn't really say much.  I'll bet there's at least a few people out there that have ran out of money because of it.


"Don't you watch the news or are you one to call it fake news ?"--Try not to argue with the caricature in your head.

"millions of seniors rely on medicaid for nursing home care, yes they are trying to gut medicaid as we know it !"-- Funny how it keeps growing despite all these efforts to "gut it".


B-real, wait... Who are you?  Lol why do you think you matter more than they do?


Republicans are actively trying to take your healthcare away so they can give tax breaks to billionaires.

Facts make you so very insecure that you become irrational and delusional.

No shame in telling the truth, snowflake, it's obvious you haven't heard much of it.


HOORAY FOR OBAMA!

For protecting our environment from the EVIL GREEDY people who only care about money and themselves and don't care what damage (e.g. Prince William Sound) they do!

OBAMA WILL HAVE A GREAT LEGACY!

SHAME ON YOU EVIL OIL DRILLERS AND ENVIRONMENT KILLERS WHO ARE TOO DIM-WITTED TO KNOW YOU ARE ACTIVELY SLITTING YOUR OWN THROAT...DUMMIES!


BTW, last December a talk-how host (CJAD, anglo) invited non-Christians to call in to say how they felt about Xmas, expecting a ot of complaints about feeling like outsiders, etc. It didn't happen, he was inundated with Sikhs, Hindus, Jews telling him they loved Xmas, had a Xmas tree, etc., no matter how much he tried to suggest the reverse...

It is really only a tiny subset of the monotheistic religions that considers it forbidden, a betrayal of their religion to celebrate other religions' holidays. Those people have every right not to do so, but they should stop trying to prevent everyone else from enjoying it.

I celebrated Eid with a family of Muslim friends, and Holi when I was in India, it didn't turn me Muslim or Hindu. Many Muslims from countries that once were moderate and peaceful, nostalgically tell of Muslims and Christians celebrating each others' holidays.


Biagini, isn't that some kind of ham?


The current bill will drastically cut medicaid. It will also make it so that insurance companies, although they won't technically be barring people with pre-existing conditions like before the ACA, they will be able to raise their premiums drastically for those individuals, making it unaffordable, and thus unavailable. Many people will be back to that terrifying spot of not knowing whether or not they can afford the necessary treatment to survive. Many Europeans find it unfathomable that an accident or cancer diagnosis could lead to bankrupcy, whereas, sadly, in the US, that's seen as just the way things are. Pure capitalism does not mix well with healthcare, as people's quality of life, and even lives themselves, hang in the balance. Even if the new bill is trying to keep the government from intervening too much with people's healthcare or insurance, the way the transition's being handled and its current wording will impose far more control & power over people with health conditions.


The study is fundamentally flawed. A construction worker does not equal a cashier.


Canadian ad agencies are just regional branches of American; the clever people are in the United States.  The lack of advertising imagination, here, is embarrassing.  If you want  truly witty commercials and print ads, move to England. Canadian advertising staff are Toronto and Vancouver plodders.

PRESIDENT ZUMA AND AMNESTY: Amnesty is usually used to express "freedom" and the time when prisoners can go free.
Since President Zuma has never been charged by the court of law, nor his life in danger, amnesty seems to be far fetched.PRESIDENT ZUMA AND AMNESTY: Amnesty is usually used to express "freedom" and the time when prisoners can go free.

Don't be so sure.  He didn't get into the WH by not knowing how to manipulate the media.  Actually, this is one of his classic tricks.  Blast out some outrageous tweet to misdirect.  It won't hurt him with his true-believers.  They eat it up.


So happy to hear the surgery will go forward!

Like Edwin and credibility should be  spoken in the same sentence.

Edwin's comparison of the Volt and Cruze is a bad joke, like all his comments. You can't find a single automotive journalist making such a dumb comparison. Only in Edwin's small little world is that viable.

Poor Edwin has been shell shocked as of late because all those comments he has made about GM being so evil and bad have been proven to ever so false so now he is dreaming and scheming his new forms of entertainment.

Now he can't even cover up his deleted comments anymore because this new format tells you who deleted them. Edwin's little comic world is fast coming to an end. Nobody believes him, people cut him to ribbons, and now he can't cover his tracks any more. Isn't life grand Edwin.


No it isn't it's an illegal head tax not allowed by state law the Oregon constitution on. All the exemptions violate state law section 32 of the Oregon constitution on uniform taxation in the territory area. The penalties for non payment violate Oregon state tax law on only being able to charge a 5% penalty per year for non payment. Big deal they have said that for years about the IRS and I still haven't received any bill in my name for non payment after 5 years proving how inept these collectors at the revenue bureau are.


"This is really hard."

It appears it might be.  But maybe not THAT hard. Even if it is, better to know now (" Mr. Trump’s administration must provide 90 days’ notice to Congress outlining its aims in trade talks before kicking off negotiations.") than by being gob-smacked at the table later.  "Dear Americans, thanks so much for the "heads up"...

"I don't envy negotiators."

As bizarre as it may sound, some canuck negotiators might be eager to sit down and "square off" (or something) with the Americans across the table.  As weird as it may seem to most of us, some people RELISH the fray. They may walk into the room with a bunch of "and another thing!" and "or by the way..." requests (err...demands) of their own.  We don't know, and that's as it should be.  Shhh...maybe we've got negotiators who can't wait to do a little gob-smacking of their own.

If worst comes to worse, we might console ourselves that, "nothing is forever."  A parting shot might be: "see ya in four years."


Um, the Creation Museum is in Kentucky, in the South.

Cincinnati is in Ohio, in the Midwest.

You have to drive about 20 miles out of Cincinnati to get to the Creation Museum, which is about the same as driving from Vancouver BC to Blaine, Washington, USA.

Not to mention that the major airport in the region is in Kentucky, closer to the Creation Museum than is to the city of Cincinnati - so it is unclear why inbound travelers would be landing and then driving north across a state line to Cincinnati if their goal is to visit the nearby creation museum.

The museum Cincinnati is famous for though is its art museum, which is superb.

Did somebody run over your cat in Cincinnati? Is that why you spew hate against the place?


Holy shit, this article is way too casually written. Phenibut can ruin your life with its severe withdrawal. Adrafinil can completely transform your personality, making you antisocial and self-absorbed.


Wait a minute.  Trump stated he will "Jail" HRC, he is threatening to use torture on our enemies and declare their families legitimate targets of war, and will deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.  I think there is reasonable comparison between Trump and Castro.


you mean like CNN caught on tape saying Russia is a nothing burger but it boosts ratings


Public Auctions are public and all of them are PUBLICLY advertised on the government websites and in local papers. What's even more hilarious is that the (D)onkey PUBLIC officials didn't bother to check that their own a$$es were being auctioned off!


When you go to another country and break the law, you get what you bargained for.


It's a strategy for hiring people who will stick around. Relax you people. It makes sense.


This piece fundamentally misunderstand the data. Republicans are included in the "all adults" data. So the swing among Republicans created the swing in the overall total data.  This argument is like having a basket with half apples and half oranges, and saying "It's not just the apples, half of the whole basket is red fruit!"


Wow how did Elway become involved in this?  Give the guy a break, drafting is tough.  Just look at Pats coach Bill Belichicks draft record and you will feel better about Elways.


Trudeau is just another Cadillac communist.  He admires the head of a regime that put any vocal opposition people in jail.  They still do.  He admires the head of a regime that confiscated the property of not only Americans and Canadians but also Cubans.  Trudeau is likely an admirer of Joseph Stalin and Idi Amin as well although it is unlikely  he would eat his critics if he could, he would only imprison them.


"didn't like the optics"
Yeah, looks pretty much like that necropsy being held at Kincaid.


More capable than most...by far.


Why does anyone think there will be anything to ‘learn’ here?

Most likely there is no way to prevent or identify his unique circumstances and prevent the next one

If the USA were serious it would restrict access to guns


Does anyone believe a word these leftist hacks have to say about anything?


Actually because she is in the Senate she did not in fact vote for Ryancare. There is so much that is bad and nothing that makes premiums or deductibles go down for Alaskans that I hope when she gets done "studying" the Senates version of ryancare/trumpcare she will make a decision based on what is best for Alaska versus the party. Tough time to be in her shoes when you have to be subservient to two goons like McConnell and trump.


So what stops Trump from demanding a recount in New Hampshire?


Arpaio is as much of a horse's -as as the moron who pardoned him.


Anyone who voted for 0bamacare should have left office a long time ago. Thanks to your poor judgement, Ed Perlmutter, millions have suffered. Good riddance.


She should know, she was there.


If the author of this article was not a biased liberal, he would have reported that TOTAL State spending....all accounts...all funds...did not go down.   State spending is unsustainable and when legislators refused to even cut their personal chef, that was the first clue the income tax was only about increasing spending.   Second clue was how the income tax proposal grew from $200 million to $700 million since last year.


Think she has to get with life and reality. Move on if you can't accept that, and leave this guy alone.


Please show me chapter and verse in the New Testament where Jesus Christ advocated "sack and destroy entire cities".  I believe you don't know the difference between the Old and New Testaments.


She certainly doesn’t hide her SJW stripes when she starts explaining why you “can’t” discriminate against white people. She deserved that comeuppance.


"Dirty people from dirty states" -- you mean like the UO students who trashed campgrounds at Mt. Shasta last spring?


I have no idea where these challenges will go but I can feel the growing frustration that many Canadians feel with regard to 'First Nations'. While I believe there is still much empathy for aboriginals as a people, I believe that respect for the 'First Nations' leadership is dwindling rapidly. Their opposition to these projects does nothing to help most rank and file native people. It is simply a self-serving shake-down scheme wherein the few get wealthy and the remainder are relegated to the status quo. It is not good for Canada and it is certainly not good for indigenous Canadians.


Why do we need an FBI or any other investigators when we have the NY Slime to tell us everything? It is inconceivable that so many people believe all the Slime prints.


Such BS reporting, candy for gun-haters.


For once Thomas, I agree with you. I'm going to run out and buy a lottery ticket today.


Think that Thornton's proposed rules are tough, wait until the fracking industry tries to come back in to redrill those old wells in the RiNo neighborhood or out on the southwest side.

Might as well just give up on urban fracking as industry costs are going to go through the roof well beyond any chance of profitability.

In-fact, it look like from some of the comments here that what has been going on is conservative anger against Metro Denver's liberals.

If you want civil war so badly maybe we should have it, either that or have the urban Front Range secede from right-wing Colorado so that we can enact our own laws firmly protecting urban residents health, safety, and property values from an angry conservative-led industry run amuk with the full support of Colorado's conservatives.


No one gets bombed, simply for being different. The word racism has been so overused and incorrectly used it has virtually lost all of it's thunder and is completely ignored by a large number of individuals. White guilt just isn't working anymore, time of new insult.


You have given an explanation for why we have street gangs. They are following your advice and take their lives in their own hands. They show the same level of compassion as the police that hunt them. They even pay for their own guns and bullets. We pay for that stuff for the police. By your definition the police are socialists.


Is this young lady for real ?...


I've always wondered about "women's nights" at bars.  Isn't charging one gender less discriminatory to the other?


I've been skeptical myself, but I do see one potential scenario:
A frequent criticism of wind and solar energy is variability, and the need for an agile grid to absorb excess generation.

Consider the scenario where a region's wind production is greater than the grid can absorb; flipping a switch on plants to electrolyze water for H2 production would be a quick way to absorb that excess generation.


That suggests they're not buying a large enough tract of land


More like not incur more debt with little in the way of return for the American taxpayer.


Please simplify it. Just ask Coghill if he balanced the budget yet, or is he kicking the can down the road for another year, while he seeks to stay in office, rather than do his ONE enumerated constitutional duty to pass a budget that`s funded,.. not stolen from future Alaskans.


He also did not say the French or British should not have them either. Israelis don't threaten their neighbors every day with nuclear annihilation and broadcast daily recreations of blowing up Arab cites. Sorry you see no difference between Israel and North Korea- Guess that is what crazy hate of a people will do to you.


Beautiful work.


Alaska should concentrate on right-sizing the bloated state government.  After all, the state was able to provide adequate state services with 60% of today's state workforce just 15 years ago.  Alaska should reduce the number of state workers by 5% every year until the level of workers reach a reasonable level.


Lisa is smart, grounded, realistic and knowledgeable. She's the right choice.


Um...yea sure.


What isn't mentioned but was on the KHON2 news, HPD Cpl. Mark Ramos retired from the police force last week. Coincidence maybe, but retiring just one step above the lowest officer rank? Why so early? Something that might raise an eyebrow or two considering what's been going on in HPD.


Kurt Corey showed a gentle kindness that made one think about his style after an interaction. Like remembering what someone said and later smiling, Kurt's mellow personality was something I reflected on from time to time. And he did this despite the challenges of running a department with a focus on transportation - an area with many strong opinions.
It's difficult to lose a team leader such as Kurt.
