A few lies told by Cohen and spread by the globalist, progressive MSM:

1) The first allegiance for an honorable Southern man in 1861 was his native state.  Like many other West Point Rebels, General Lee made the extremely difficult decision to defend his home state against the invading Union.

To do otherwise would have made him a traitor to his first allegiance.

2) General Lee believed in manumission;  his will stipulated that.  He believed that before blacks could be freed they had to be educated and taught a skill so that they could prosper in society.

3) General Lee and many other Southerners believed that slavery would eventually die out on its own without war.  That's exactly what happened in Brazil.

4) The false equivalence between Southerners trying to defend their homeland and Nazis is disgusting.  The Nazis were in favor of genocide for many groups and wanted world hegemony.  General Lee and his army just wanted to keep the Yank barbarians out of Virginia.

Cohen lies.


A philanthropic  immigrant from the Muslim world.

 This helps to prove that Arab immigrants  enrich our country.

We need more Muslim immigration, not less.


Oh, right--because a president who is a womanizer, commits adultery with an intern in the oval office, sexually harasses women as president, tries to use his office to bully the women into silence, then lies about it under oath, claiming not to know the definition of "is" has integrity and character than is beyond reproach.

The person who is married to him, who says that women who claim harassment and abuse should be believed---but did not believe the several women who accused her husband and likewise tried to bully them into silence also has integrity and character that is beyond reproach.

Dude, seriously?

I grant Trump is no integrity or character--but what politician does?  You don't get to be a high level politician like a senator, president, SCOTUS justice etc, if you have integrity and character!  I accept that.  If you are going to throw stones at Trump, make sure you save some for Slick Willy and his wife.   They are no better.


As it is likely you make more than me I would appreciate you forwarding monetary compensation to myself and any others in a similar situation on a monthly basis.
We will be doing better and you will be feeling better for doing so.
Thank you for starting this initiative.
Please forward your address.


This Paris, accord for us, treaty for the rest of the rest, only came to be, because the Copenhagen agreement failed, thanks to China for voting against it.  The Copenhagen deal was actually a better deal. If failed after is was revealed, from release e-mails that much of the global warming data was manufactured. In order to come to the conclusion research wanted.

"Around the world, climate change is a metastasizing danger, for some countries even an existential threat."

 1) who are these counties and who are their leaders? 2) what form of government controls these countries? Why is it America's fault that some countries feel threaten? We cleaned are back yard, because of the liberty and freedom we enjoy. It's interesting that We the People, any where, being in charge is termed "man made" climate change, but political leader being charge, is some how is going to control climate change.


absolutely AND the city should pay a fat and lucrative settlement to the Nurse; nothing deters behavior in municipal employees like civil court cases.


In a 50 - 33 vote, The Senate agreed that they will remain irrelevant, and have absolutely no will to do the work they were appointed to do.


Jesus taught us to call God Father. God revealed Himself to be Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He did not reveal Himself as Goddess in any text of Christian revelation.  If calling God "Father" is good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.


I love love love Republicans running scared! This scenario wouldn't be a problem if they had at least paid lip service to working with the Dems but they got pretty darned arrogant and decided they had a mandate. This is so doggoned funny it hurts to laugh!


I love how this article starts off with the 'facts' about the number of subscribers and YouTube videos this person has, as if that is somehow proof of his beliefs. I sounds sickeningly like Trump's belief that he must be right (about everything) because he's dupped millions of people into paying attention to his nonsense.  If that's true, Ashton Kutcher and Paris Hilton are the smartest people in the world!

I happen to believe the world is under seize from Martians who are attacking us by throwing hero sandwiches at us -- and who are secretly controlling us by making us believe in the 'global, round earth' lie. And if I get a few million people to follow me on Twitter it will be proof that I'm right! Maybe I'll get a book deal out of it too.

It must be a slow news week at the SWR.


Another poster boy for an Alaska three strikes law. There is no excuse that can explain why this guy shouldn't have been locked up well before this murder. The courts don't work. We have to leave them less discretion to let guys like this walk.


So in fact the definition of "hate speech" used is a lot broader than simply calling for extermination or genocide, after all, Alceste?


Well it looks like two sides can play this game. Yesterday there were musings that Trump may fire Mueller. Today we have the story from the other side that indeed Trump is under investigation. Official Washington just Trumped Trump. Get rid of Mueller now and Trump shows he is guilty as sin.
The Trump team has a lot to learn about gotta politics. But then again as Ryan says Trump is new to this game.Unbelievable.


Obscene.  Shameless.  Liberal.


65 for Native Alaskans...74 for Non-Native Alaskans....but as you may know the lower life expectancy for Native people had to do with (and still does) the rural life they lead....rural people, worldwide, have shorter lives partly do to the accident rates of rural living and in AK, substance abuse (alcohol/ snuff) also leads to shorter lives as does obesity.....these are the problems in rural AK for whites and natives alike.

2004...Natives 70 yrs.....non-native Alaskans 77 yrs...so there is progress....in lifestyle choices & in less dangerous pursuits....chopping wood...hunting...boating...camping away from a health clinic...etc.

It's not the water....no matter how much you wish it was....one of the men that would NEVER drink city water died in his 50's....he was crushed by a large truck when they were moving houses w/ big equipment to make room for a bigger airport....which is typical work in rural AK....the % of people who have "city like" jobs inside buildings is much less.


Bicycles predate the automobile.


Hey, don't blame us! We didn't vote for Bill Clinton!


Equality and rights secular ideas? Paul the Ap. would disagree with you in an irreverent hurry.


There are currently two schools of thought regarding the reason for climate change
1. Natural variations of the Earth and solar activity
2. CO2 emissions generated by human activity

As the debate continues on the reason, one understanding has been confirmed, "only one of the above can be Taxed".....   I wonder if the politicians know this?


"Back-channel communications with people are ways to communicate with people, again not in front of the press, as an example, but that information is not necessarily kept secret from the rest of the government," Kelly added."

Simplistic garbage for simple minds.  Trump Chumps will go for it, since it's meant for them.  As though anyone, anywhere only communicates in front of the press, and there are no other options other than setting up secret back channel communications with a country - an enemy -  that launched a cyber attack against the country. Not to mention bailed out the President - which it helped put into office using the cyber attack - financially numerous times, and who is entangled in various business relationships.  Oh yeah, and whuch is under investigation for all that and more. Because all that normal.

No, Kelly, it's not "normal" and business as usual.  Spin away, and put an investigative target on your back in the process.


IME smokers tend to be mostly considerate, even cowed and apologetic. And the most militant and intolerant anti-smokers are former smokers, not those who have never smoked.

"eating the seed corn for another meal rather than planting the seed corn," he said, or, in a more Alaska-focused analogy: "I'm a big fan of sourdough pancakes. And if we treat our Permanent Fund like we treat sourdough starter, we'll be fine. No one would ever use up all the sourdough starter. The first thing you do is you take it out and leave it for the next batch."

Really Bill?! Like the State has already eaten all the Constitutional Budget Reserve funds, (their share, from the Permanent Fund Program) intended to be used for emergency budget "shortfalls", but instead--how should I say this nicely--"taken" by the State to pay for its ever increasing and completely unjustified size? Seriously?! The largest per capita spending in the country, and on exactly what infrastructure and systems?

Now yours is gone so you take 1/2 of our shares from  the past 5 years avg.?! those should not even be considered as the payout # is based on past years! OUR money is there!! Not yours! SMDH!


And its going away. LOL


Sounds like the Hawaii version of Elizabeth Warren.


The Governor chose Galera for the Education position. He then appointed the BOE, including Galera.  So now the Ige hand-picked BOE chooses the Superintendent, and one of the candidates is a former BOE member who everyone knows Ige wants?  I hope the BOE recuses itself from the entire process to ensure a fair process.


Guantanamo,

Wrong, I implied no such thing, and I will provide examples to demonstrate:

1. Timothy McVeigh, terrorist and white male. He blew up the Oklahoma building killing dozens. His functional manifesto was big government was taking away rights of people, such as to bear arms, and his lesson to government was to stop executing anti-gun policies like in Waco and Ruby Ridge.

2. Ted Kazinski, the Unabomber, terrorist and white male, his manifesto was government and elites were embracing too much technology to the ruin of society, his lesson was for its designers and fosterers to stop.

3. James Kopp, terrorist and white male, shot abortion providers. His manifesto was that liberal abortion access must be ended.

4. Nidal Hasan, MUSLIM AND NOT A TERRORIST, shot 43 people at the Fort Hood military base. He was not a terrorist because he specifically targeted non-civilians, shooting at uniformed soldiers. That was not terrorism, it was an insurrection or a rebellion or an act of war.


Great article Wente!


The Notwithstanding clause is not a get out of jail free card.  If he won the settlement the most the government could do is refuse to pay and then be taken back to court to enforce the judgement.

The Notwithstanding clause can be used to create a law to violate someone's rights - famously the only usage is to allow the primacy of French in Quebec  It cant be used to avoid a settlement when the Government has already violated someones rights.


It is crazy, and that is their reality. House rich, cash poor in many cases.


I assume the laudatory assessments in the foreign media means the UK Guardian.  Perhaps Al Jazeera and whatever the daily in Davos is.

I strongly doubt he has re-fashioned Canada's global image simply because Canada does not interest a global audience.  For those who do care about Canada, he has definitely cut us away from our closet allies and returned us to our position as the so-called honest broker for the third tier nations but who wants to be a useful contributor to the first world when you can get all that adoration from the third?  It costs less and looks great on Instagam and, even better, it helps prop up that Millennial constituency that needs to be kept from noticing that its future is being wiped out by ill-conceived Keynesian tribute budgets.


You say "nonsense" to verifiable facts? You can look up the Trump U fraud trial (remember when Trump the xenophobe said Judge Curiel's Mexican ancestry prevented him from judging the case?) Verifiable. You can look up the fact that Donald and Ivanka's elitist ties, shirts, handbags, shoes, etc. are manufactured overseas, not in America. This isn't a matter of belief or opinion. Look at the label on your Trump tie. Verifiable. It's verifiable, not believe or opinion, that Trump bought Chinese steel for his buildings. It's verifiable that Trump has filed BKY multiple times, leaving small contractors and investors on the hook. It's verifiable that Trump has stiffed small contractors, refused to pay them and told them to take him to court, knowing he could bleed them with legal costs. He has spent his life in court. He is litigious and he's only out for himself. He's a con man and only the most gullible of rubes still believe his cons. Congrats on that Trump U "diploma" though. LOL.


The ANC caucus an ally of the people of this country???? What absolute rubbish. For the last ten years the ANC caucus has defended Jacob Zuma and in the process the ANC caucus has allow  the man, a criminal, to destroy this country. Anybody making such statements, especially an ANC member of parliament, is not suitable to represent the people of this country.   Zuma must go the ANC cannot be allowed to defend him any longer.


Give me a break!  President Trump is going to slow down on supporting oil development in Alaska.  I don't believe it, and I don't believe Dan Sullivan does either.  If he really is "troubled" by Trump's threat, he ought to stand up for Senator Murkowski who's doing right by Alaskans!  He ought to stand up to our bully President; he ought to stop cowering and start governing like Murkowski.  And, while he's at it, he ought to look at how many people in his real state are going to lose coverage too.  Thank you Senator Murkowski!  Your constituents are with you!  Stay Strong!


Thank you Tim!!

Haha - thanks for nothing rustle.

Perhaps your homeopath is giving you too high a dose?


And of course this convicted felon went through a proper background check because there is a law about that.


and you yourselves came from siberia. so everyone is from somewhere else. some came sooner, some later, but all have come. how did you police yourselves before? before the massive intrusion by juneau? or dc? the more power you give away, the less you have.


You might find some acolytes here prepared to believe you were only "expressing an aphorism of sorts" but for others, yes, your mentioning change through violence three times is advocating it.


But will you answer my question?


.9 is 90%


Arnie has lost my respect. I refuse to see any movies with him in it. Maria worked so hard to support him like a good dedicated wife just like Jane Fonda did trying to raise money for Tom Hayden's elections. Glad to ready Hayden is dead already. Both men are hypocrites and should stay out of the newspapers. Drop dead, Arnie.


Thank you Margaret.  The President of this once highly regarded institution of learning is beyond spineless.  It is indeed sad that McGill graduates and the current class are tarnished by her cowardly behavior.


Mellisme,
" His followers are the only people shortchanged, then again, they deserve to be for being so gullible."
lol
And in which way his followers are shortchanged, by Americans making over  100 billions of dollars, and keeping their alliance with the West at the same time.
Wow, double Wow. Only in your gullible mind dear poster, you will never understand in the real world, if they don't sell it to the Arabs, Canada will, or China, Russia.


How much does the government subsidize the oil and gas industry?


SB-91 protected class strikes again!


All new technologies are cost "prohibitive" when first introduced.  The costs are reduced with time.  Both solar and wind production technologies are experiencing this right now.  My folks bought our first television in 1949...a cabinet about the size of a volkswagen and a screen smaller than some laptop computers.  It cost $849 in 1949 money, that equivalent to about $8500 in today's dollars.

Just like TVs,  those renewables are getting cheaper and more cost competitive every day.   That's, IMO, a very good thing.  Gary Crum


Wow.....over simplify much...?


testosterone running high in america.  nothing like war to help the hungry distract them from their hunger.  conservative answers to all lifes retched ills can be found in armaments.  needless unaccounted trillions continue to be spent on the military while the conditions in which people live in some parts of american inner cities is worse than third world.


Another excellent example of  a red hat attempting to defend the indefensible.


China, the Super Power, is flooding the world with dangerous counterfeits.


According to the research by the EMP Commission, there was not a nuke too small to be safe from EMP, if detonated 300km+ about North America.


Tom is not just a puppet of the health care lobby.  Although many of his top donors include medical companies, he has also taken money from Koch Industries and Wall Street.  Tom appears to be a politician who wants to represent all corporate interests.  A great pick!


"Denounced by all". To hell with you G&M, and your suggestion our freedom to speak should be curtailed. A multitude of people detest her....in life, you reap what you sow. She's reaping the scorn for proceeding with her twisted personal agenda.


I have never seen any elected Republican willing to "Work together" with members of the Democratic party to get things accomplished that they were elected to do, represent the people who voted them into office, not just the wealthy, big corporations, or corporations. A democrat mayor Berkowitz announces Anchorage will see a $14M surplus in 2015. Some of it could be attributed to no snow.  Republicans are the only ones trying to eliminate the vote for women and minorities. There are people who can't see that Republicans are in office to further their own agenda, not the interests of the people who voted for them. Dumb and blind people are easily lead and manipulated.

Most PV should be close to point of use so things like roofs and parking lot s which will actually help keep places cooler and nicer.

I know of building that have been using ice cooling for years for thermal storage and I have a system using thermal mass storage that has been used for year so many of these things are not future but are already in use.
Work on improved electrodes, catalysts, and other components in batteries and fuel cells is progressing rapidly and a number of fuel cells systems are running now.

scary


Trump only gets upset if the attacker is not Caucasian, or a white supremacist. The history is there. It's easy to see. He just wants to boost his racist base, and politicize these events by non-Caucasians in order to pass his racist agenda.


Using the criminal court to 'negotiate' Constitutional land disputes is something underhanded that Trump would do.  Unchecked power inherently evolves into abuse of power.


Mark, How do you know what worked in the 1800's?  Don't believe everything you watch on TV (westerns) or read on the internet.  I can find different statistics on the subject on the internet to support what I want to believe.  I don't believe everything I was taught in school.  Also, we didn't even have a clue what was happening from shore to shore.  The media was not that quick as they are today.  I'm not sure too that statistics were that reliable in those days.

People are so quick to say we need to fix the morality problem but rarely do they provide any plan on how to fix it.  You want to keep your guns?  Then shoot out your mouth with a plan to fix the world!

Do you have children?  If you do, how are you raising them to make sure they stay out of trouble?  Are you the best possible parent you can be?  Would you bet your life that your kids will grow up to be responsible adults?


"Mr. Bendtsen’s property at 405 Railway was just assessed at $14.512-million, up from $5.751-million last year. In 2016, he paid $68,852 in taxes. Based on the 2017 value, his taxes will be an estimated $175,000."

That is a larger than average increase to be sure, but taxes will not increase by 2.5x as the article states; all these increased values will determine the mill rate, and overall taxes in Vancouver are reported to be going up 3.9%. The assessed value of my home went up about 40%, but I expect this to be about average and therefore I will be paying a tax increase of about 3.9%.


You're so right.


Great story.


We were taxed for Social Security and Medicare, we are taxed for taken Social Security, a tax on a tax.  Medicare is taken from Social Security, but we paid a Medicare tax, where did this tax go?


Good auspices of America notwithstanding, they took a "handful" of Canadians, but only after Americans' pets were first loaded (Canadians came after animals), and then the Canucks were charged $1,500/nose and dumped in Costa Rica with a visa which expire in 7-days.


Well, the "Orthodox Liturgy" is ours too since the Byzantine Catholics use the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil.

Hey! I'm Ben, the guy who asked the question about native Hawaiian sovereignty at the panel. While unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for the panel to answer this question fully, a handful of the people in the crowd reached out to me after to give me their personal responses. Even if this question caused discomfort on-stage, it's very warming and encouraging to know that many folks there and online are/were willing to teach me about their struggles! Sending my support and solidarity from the continent.


Where was Mason talking about "stiffening one's spine" when Obama, the wimp-in-chief was busy executing his spineless foreign policy.


As documented here on Civil Beat, the total statewide retirement system’s unfunded liability is $8.7 billion (with a B).  All of it accumulated under Hawaii Democratic party control.


sher said; comment was about history in general, not Canadian history.
But WE are ALL here for Canadian history, no ?
Got a GOOD ONE for you ;
the Peoples of the First Nations move/ walk on foot or by canoe / they do not yet know an animal called "cheval" because it has no horses in 1634 North America continent. This is
Sir Samuel de Champlain then Gouverneur Général of Canada who will place a 'command' to the Chief Veterinary Officer of the stables of the kingship of King Louis XIV (a kind of Mega Royal Ministry of Agriculture, oui?). In 1662, "Stables" of France’s King Louis XIV will emerge one of the most remarkable horses to conquer North America;
 the "Canadien" horse (“French Canadian” horse/ see Google-pictures & info).
You knew it, eh Sher (Chère ?) ?
Got another one and...a GOOD ONE to laugh at (you might say ?)


Right On, Ken Higgins!


I thought the House version was well balanced. Make no mistake, it gave some borderline crazy concessions like interest rates on money owed. The oil reps in the Senate are convinced that the only way to develop oil in Alaska is to give Big Oil what they want or they will leave. Has anyone, at any time ever said where big oil is better off? North Dakota and the Permian Basin seem to be better for the wildcatters, but Big Oil? We need to look at a state owned field and the possible ownership of TAPS. This would involve big risks to the state, but we are now subsidizing those risks with SB 21, the cash payout bill basically written by the oil reps in the legislature. It also hurts Alaska that one of the architects of SB 21, Senator Dan Sullivan is doing backflips to help the Tar Sands in Canada which competes with Alaska. Doing everything Big Oil wants doesn't make you pro oil, it just makes you pro corporation and pro monopoly and possibly anti Alaska. The Senate is wrong on HB 111.


"systematically replaced"? Nice work with the hyperbole and paranoia there franco.

What next? A rant about Protestants?


That's all the Trumpies have left now, isn't it? "Snowflake", "Crybaby", "Bless your heart"... now that the thin-ice logic of the Trumpists are being challenged and you have no real response, you can only weakly and wistfully try to deny the opinions of others.

Yesterday I saw a widely spread video of Muslims attacking a Christmas tree at a mall. "Deport these devils!" was the gist of the comments. Hilariously, the video is actually a traditional tree climbing race of the Christian Kurds, filmed in Iraq, but the Trumpies see a few hijabs and assume it is violent mob (never mind that many in the crowd were wearing Santa hats). This is the kind of unchallenged dumbness that works to win an election but not in governance.


YRU worrying? He's got the Missus's moolah.  He'll be just fine.


Taboot, you say, "The weather changes every day, not the climate..." So you are trying to tell us that climate does not change?
Obviously, to make a point I was exaggerating when I said it changes every day. But climate or weather or whatever you want to call it does change several times a year. The climate is different today than it was 6 months ago, and it will be different again in a few months.

Best,

Actually, yes, I have in fact worked in more than one restaurant in my younger days.  The disgusting stuff I watched happening in the kitchen on a regular basis was one of the reasons I didn't continue to do so.  Well, that and the $2 an hour plus tips I earned (yes, it was a long time ago).  But, to address your question here, if making payroll and keeping the doors open comes at the expense of deceptive, evasive, or just plain ol' bad business practices (ie., the restaurateur telling me I am eating a pork chop when its a duck and -knowing- it is a duck, for example) then maybe the restaurateur should find a new line of business that doesn't depend on honesty and forthrightness.  Speaking of which, I hear a bunch of bums that refer to themselves as our "State Representatives" are fixin' to get kicked out of office this fall.  Should be a perfect opportunity for folks with said lack of restaurateur skills to seek new (and probably much more lucrative) employment.


First flaky Nancy Pelosi and noe Adam Schiff, both disgruntled Liberal Democratic hacks from the once-great State of California. Give us a break from these fools. The election is long over and the Democrats lost and now Hillary Clinton and the DNC are the coluders with Russia and were profìteering with their disgusting dirty tricks. They need to be investigatedthoroughly and imprisoned for their crimes.


So Millie you're on board with that one?


How on earth can these simple-minded people spend our tax dollars on something this worthless? If the unthinkable happens, we don't have a chance and North Korea knows that if they send just one thing our way, there will no longer be a North Korea. Add this one to the rail fiasco along with the superferry, etc. I think I'm moving to the mainland. How do people like this get to run our state? Oh, I forgot, few people here vote.


Lol, dotard gets stuck in another swampy muck. His goo is knee deep in DC. He has to eat his own goo on this one. Cant pull out a recording? Every potus communication is recorded. Especially official ones.


Interesting study but the article and the study presume that we all want same day access.  Do we? If same day access meant more tax would we pay it?


Trudeau's speech disgusts me.  He describes Canada as though it is one of the most depraved nations on Earth, when it is one of the most just and fair.
His blatant opportunism, hypocrisy, and bent prespective on issues in Canada are frightening and dangerous to Canada's future economy and social stability.
Reality check: Twice as many Indigenous boys and men are missing and murdered than girls and women, but that doesn't warrant the Government's attention.  All part of a poverty cycle.  Hypocrits.
In 2019 we need to vote the Liberals out before they can do anymore damage.


Her right to disturb a towns peace and scare kids just to force city council into a hotel. Nasty rich old bitty. Blackmailing town with her bodybuilder jailbird. She better stay in Florida. That towns people are scared and frightened people do terrible things too.


I agree with you, but it's hard to see how you get there without some sort of Orwellian "Ministry of Information" which is even more terrifying.


Press relations are not that big of deal in the grand strategy of foreign relations and domestic governance that should occupy the efforts of the President of the United States.  If Donald J. Trump would focus on his duty to protect the nation and govern for all Americans a positive press image would naturally follow.  He can hire press agents and image makers until "the second coming", and he can tweet up a storm; however, he should never forget the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln:

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."


Shocking and disgusting comment.  Unbelievably perverse.


Justin Trudeau, the avid boxer, beat that Indigenous First Nations man senseless fair and square.  Get over it already!


Follow the money .  See what she does with the leftover money now that two recounts won't actually happen .


Opps, another "fake" news storey.


And sadly for me, my senator, Gary Stevens, who lost his perspective after his strongly-principled stand against SB 21 cost him the power he once had. An object lesson in human nature. Time to get all of that retirement money, Gary. Time to get Out.Of.The.Way.


Wow! As a mainlander, I am proud and gratified that sensible, safety-first, gun laws have trumped the NRA's frothing-at-the-mouth rhetoric in at least one state. Thank you Hawaii for leading the way!

EU is anything but a democracy and EU "government" is just a self-serving group of corrupt and incompetent politicians, in addition to being un-elected.  As to Spain, it has committed a terrible mistake by attacking the voters to stop them from voting and expressing their will, to stay in or leave Spain. Spain has probably solidified the pro-independence block.


Sigh can the globe ever stop with STEM and women. It is not as though women in Ontario haven't had 25+ years of support for STEM, maybe just maybe they don't want to work for the soulless IT departments of the Amazon's of the world or in certain aspects of tech. Because tech such as biology, medicine, chemical engineering, etc is full of women who perform very capably.

Maybe we need to up our highschool standards in math and critical thinking (literature/history) in order to get students better prepared for uni/college. In fact a lot of the jobs that Amazon et al are looking for could be filled by technologists and college trained programmers.  Maybe microsoft et al should be investing in training?????


The discussion of Islamic values and their potential incompatibility with Western values doesn't stem from simple distrust of people with a different religion. It comes instead from observations that a very disproportionately high level of terrorism is performed in the name of Islam and that majority-Muslim countries tend to have a great imbalance of rights for men vs women, straight vs gay, Muslim vs non-Muslim. In addition, the spread of Islam thru violent conquest since the time of Mohammed himself, while often similar to the spread of other religions in the past, is still advocated today by a vocal, murderous, & rather large group of folks in the name of Islam. In a free society, we must be able to discuss how to address such an influential and dangerous ideology (if held by a minority of Muslims or not) without the discussion being shouted down by accusations of Nazism and imminent holocaust. Yes, we must always guard religious freedom, yet also our free discussion of ideas.


The government should pass a law requiring a mandatory dress code of sweat pants and flip flops.  Then we can all look like government civil servants and be comfortable at work.  That way everyone will be equal looking like lazy slobs.


They backed her because she's not Joe Miller. That's what she gave them.


To not reduce their per diem sends the wrong message. At a time when everyone is being asked to make sacrifices  in a reduced PFD and the imposition of some sort of tax, Seaton is completely tone deaf.


... the remaining market participants have no such protection from either competition or rampant taxation. It is every man for himself
in the private sector.

So for example: If an occupant of a property is a small grocery
store such as on the Danforth it would be easy to predict costs.
Hydro costs are in his records. Wage costs are in his records.
Reported profits are recorded. Wholesale purchases are in his records. It would be quite easy to calculate the effect of property tax increases on his business. Compare his numbers against the
average for his category and tax property accordingly.

Some competitors would do better others worse. Presumably
the poorer operators would close up. Rents would determine
the properties alternate desirability.

If a jeweller opens up instead of  a beauty parlour simply
tax based on the aggregate metrics for jewellers operating
in say 2000 square feet.

Bureaucrats put all that computing power to work or else face a dystopian street scape ...


What about next year?


So we're supposed to respect murderous racists?

Not a single prisoner in the Arizona Tent City died for lack of health care or nutrition.


Raingull: Your logic fails. Just stop.  You are showing how clueless you are each and every time.


"Thin skinned?" Rempel? Hardly. She's so tough she wouldn't look out of place carrying a spear while wearing chain mail and a helmet with horns. She's just an opportunistic politician playing to her audience.


An income tax might - might - raise $200 million .... but how much would it cost to collect? How big would the new bureaucracy have to be? Hint: Big. Real big and expensive. Knowing how we do things, there would be offices in every city in the state, staffed with clerks and multi-language skills, latest computers and cool new displays. Interactive, digital, glowing.  How long would this tax stay in effect? Until oil got back to $70? $90? Another hint: Forever.


'
…I'm supportive of the you moving part.  That's a good contribution to the discussion.

Carrying out that suggestion is all that's left for you to walk that talk.

Godspeed.

Bill Morneau, "the respected Finance Minister"? Only in the eyes of a socialist publication. He is clearly displaying evidence that he is in way over his head. Lord God, give me Michael Wilson again


Ganot ends his first season with his recruits and his coaching in the bottom 50, 303 out of 351 according to the NCCA D1 ranking at present. Last place Alabama A & M at 2-27.


It is time for Provinces to be put under a microscope and be accountable for their spending. If there were no strings I am sure Wynne and company would put that money into general revenue and  use the funds to buy votes for the next election. Not one cent would find its way into healthcare only votecare!.


LOL what a pile of garbage this health system is.  Meh, just throw more money at it, right?


Why would you assume that anyone would choose chemotherapy?  I have already informed my health-care provider that, were I ever to get cancer, I would not allow chemotherapy or radiation to be performed upon my body.  There are plenty of less-invasive, alternative therapies available, but the medical community would never consider them, just like it does not approve of CBD oil for depression and pain.  Everyone I know who has had cancer, and has had conventional therapies, has had the cancer chased to other parts of their bodies, or had it return with a vengeance.  They may have had a few-more years, but at what expense and with what quality of life?  A friend who has had breast cancer forced into remission is now confined to her sofa.  She has no strength, is tired all the time, and looks like death warmed over.  But she will tell you, proudly, that she "beat cancer."  Really?


Homelessness is a national problem and should be addressed at the national level. It is indeed disturbing that Eugene city leaders are considering programs that will multiply the number of homeless persons coming to Eugene. The city's ability to address homelessness  will continue to be overwhelmed so long as federal programs remain inadequate. By making the homeless problem still larger, city leaders risk losing public support for parks and recreation paths that are already becoming the domains of vagabonds and illegal campers. Moreover, the city may very well find itself on a downward economic spiral as businesses and citizens become displaced by the inevitable influx of the nation's homeless. Eugene city leaders would be wiser if they join with other cities to instill a greater sense of urgency in congressional delegations to pass legislation that increases affordable housing and access to social programs.


I have some complaints too, but really, the 'right's' worst publications like Fox not-news and affiliates is no remedy. And nobody is preventing the 'right' from starting their own paper. Every red state needs a blue forum and vise versa. And the Anchorage Daily News 'sold' it's business to the Anchorage Dispatch.


What a joke! After 8 years of Obama we are more divided that we have been in decades! He set race relations back decades and it will take a lot to undo the damage he has done. He was a waste of time with no accomplishments of value. Of course the left will attempt to gloss over all the damage he has done and make him look like a sick hero.. Hillary would have been as bad or worth.. At least with Trump we have a chance to fix what Obama broke AND move forward..


State of the Nation  !  Zero.


Good question.  Of course in the past they had simple weather boxes that measured rainfall and temperature with a very accurate thermometer, but would have to be physically read.
You wonder how many people missed a day, or a reading, and just made up temperatures to fill in the box.
I think I will buy my own little weather station for my back yard and start an accurate record to compare with these geniuses.  The same people that are telling us this are the same people spreading false data.
Wouldn't it be amazing if we found that these same sensors are used all over the Earth, and made by the same company, and the company purposely calibrated them to show false data.
The Global Warmers always tout the "data", which once again has been shown to be wrong.
There should be an investigation.


Removing the equipment from the stream is going to do the same amount of damage whether they have a permit or not.  Would you prefer it gets removed now or sits there causing additional damage while they spend a week, month, or longer to get a permit or get it out now?


Kalaheo touched on this yet why do the FEDS show some fiscal responsibility by holding back their part of the funding until the City can prove they meet FED requirements in order to get access to more FED funding, yet the STATE doesn't do similar.  What's wrong with this picture???????  Let alone the taboo  subject that no one in Government brings up of the recurring "O & M" and the power to run this monstrosity.  Oh that's right, PRP said the SUN will power it.


So in other words he was a Canadian of convenience?


NK has promised to annihilate the US and its allies.

"When push comes to shove..." -- i.e. if NK attacks the US and/or its allies -- e.g. SK as it did in 1950 -- you don't believe that Trump would "push the button."

Is that correct?


So where the hell was security you can't say they didn't expect it?


California.... Sixth, largest economy in the world at 2.46 Trillion GDP.  Right in-between Great Britian and France.  12.2% of the nations population.  In 2014, Californians sent the federal government approximately $6,671 in personal income taxes per capita, while receiving back $4,855 in federal direct aid per capita, that's $1,816 per person.    The Tax Foundation study, suggest that Californians pay into the federal kitty as much as $50 to $70 billion more than they receive.  ... Hmmm No Loss?..


Loud mouth, displaying every sign of mediocre leardership and generating all Fake news led by WH administrationstaff and oval office. Ignore him and you live a better life. This ugly personage has no credibility any longer.


A true tropical beat that has stood the test of time and will continue thanks to those who value and respect the architectural choices of historic Hawaii.Bravo to you for bringing our attention to those who are preserving a Sense of Place in Chinatown. Well done Denby.


Considering that Obama  sent out 500 drones to kill people extra judicially, failed to close GITMO, initiated  a war in Libya that  had nothing to do with  protecting people and destabilized  an entire region AND covertly funded armed support to rebels in Syria....

it will be disappointing if the Globe tries to spin this as Trump's problem

Human Rights abuses were atrocious under Bush and Obama but  the media didn't tell us about how their  policies  resulted   in humanitarian crises, failed states and massive refugee flows until well after the fact.

What has Trump done? Stopped support for the rebels and tried to seal a deal with Russia to bring peace to Syria and Ukraine but the MSM and  the deep state could n´t have that could they

not on your nelly


I'm not sure making the playoffs would be considered a great season. The definitely had their best season in many last year. I'm expecting them to get the eighth seed this year. Where you aren't an expert is your opinion of Nurkic and touting of Plumlee. Here's what the Oregonian wrote about Nurkic: "Few players in franchise history have changed the trajectory of a season -- or the future --  the way Jusuf Nurkic has in just three months. Rip City caught a case of 'Nurkic Fever' shortly after the Blazers acquired him in a trade from Denver and the affliction hasn't waned, as Nurkic's blend of swagger, skill and fit have fit perfectly in Portland. His surprising and inspiring play changed the narrative of the season and rescued a team that would have entered the offseason with alarming questions without him."


Actually it is asking too much. The reason disability laws exist is exactly because of people like you.


Very naive comment.  The money used for that eyesore could have been used elsewhere, saving the need for more taxes.  Math is hard...


You definitely are and always were a racist and sexist.  Your posts have always shown this.  Now you just think you can be open about it and malevolently so.  Let me guess, despite your purported colour blindness, you still managed to surround yourself with mostly white males but you convinced yourself that they had more "merit".

Anyone who claims they cannot see white privilege and based only on his/her own lens and so therefore declares it doesn't exist because they are unaffected by it themselves, is definitely privileged.


What's different is that the people have a voice today, methinks. There's no going back to Garden-of-Eden mentality/ theology. Urgently! It's time to change the paradigm.


Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Eric Bolling, and Donald Trump. What do they have in common? They're all Republicans, sexual abusers and, in some cases, rapists.


Have you lectured him sufficiently?  Read the catechism to him?  Obviously he needs preaching about the doctrines of the church.


I could support this if every statue had a plaque outlining every traitorous charge that the individual should have been tried for.


Never trust anything a trust-fund baby or a "my daddy gave me a company" person.


Every day we need more people with technical knowledge that they can acquire in a multitude of schools throughout the country. There is employment waiting for anyone motivated to learn a job after some school. So what's the problem? No one applies that's hireable. They either want too much for knowing nothing or their drug and alcohol problems are very visible, or there is obviously no hope. Kids that show up from the village have an advantage. For the most part they had dads that made them work. It can take a bit longer to get them going on the technical side and with the people skills but once they make it over the hump, the sky's the limit. The world doesn't need ditch diggers anymore,but it's a good way to start ! Now, repeat after me; >I don't drink or do drugs. I'll never be late for work, I'll work as long as you need me too and I'll work hard. Look your future employer in the eyes and watch him or her light up. Now, just shut up and listen. That means stop talking.


"...when another person, other than the perceived offender, is inside of the vehicle;" It does not authorize force merely to prevent vehicle theft.

I'm not giving my opinion, I'm stating the reasoning given at time of passage, which you can go read on the Legislative website, and how the jury instructions will read if you ever try to use it as a justification in court. Both clearly refer to carjacking. From the jury instruction:

"A defendant [portion referring to the driver being carjacked omitted] outside of a vehicle may use deadly force upon another when and to the extent the defendant believes it is necessary to terminate what the person believes to be the theft of that vehicle when another person, other than the perceived offender, is inside of the vehicle; this paragraph does not apply to a person outside of a vehicle who is involved in a dispute with a person inside of the vehicle who is a household member of the defendant."

Look at the price of college, with the Federal Gov't being in the loans business. Colleges can charge what they because the cost becomes hidden AND if the borrower tries to default, they can't.

When the gov't subsidizes ANYTHING, the price of that thing goes UP.


I'm far from a billionaire, but my IRA is very productive.
Go buy some Index Funds.


I'm guessing you also remember those "kick sand in your face", Charles Atlas ads on the backs of comics...how about stamps sent "on approval", and those little "mermaids (shrimp) you could grow... We were kids..easy targets for such scams.  We're now adults and, apparently, crooks feel we're still easy targets.  But, always remember, "they will double the order for just the price of the extra handling and mailing"  I think this means you'll not get a "free lunch", but "two free lunches"

Cynicism...realism.  I agree, it's the old "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

However, let me try to change your outlook.  Give me a call sometime and I'll buy your lunch.

All Trudeau had to do was not say something stupid, which he has done before, so the right posters here, including me, are grateful he didn't during the press conference.
The real work now begins, so we'll see if he's up to the task.
And I know you libs think you are the naturally governing party, but our election cycle goes every 4-years (you can look it up for some help) and he won't make it 12-years. He's already put us in deficit by 3-times his promise and reneged on many of his election promises. He's not even close to the intellectual capacity, political smarts and experience of Chretien, who didn't make it 12-years. Study your political history, fanboy.


I like to see the Dems reaching out to veterans.  Up till now, they've largely given that demographic up to the repubs, as they had with Christians.  Hopefully, the party will have as-much success reaching out to the military as they have with the religious community.  But I also hope that these candidates don't throw their service into people's faces, like Mike Coffman did.


Way past time to pass these costs on to the customer.  You get convicted of a felony, you immediately lose your PFD for life. You get sentenced to drug rehab or prison, welcome to some supervised labor on the chain gang.


Too bad they don't waive parking fees for that day so more families could enjoy it.....


Companies & their workers in other industries must compete against third world countries and wages paid in those countries.


Other Americans, however, are another matter. They attack you on buses.


The NDP would love the opportunity to drag BC back into "Have Not" status like they achieved in the 1990's in just 3 years. It took more than 10 years to recover from that disastrous ideology.


there now an animal hospital


Ahead of schedule?  What was the schedule, 30 years?  Only the Leafs could be ahead of schedule not having made the playoffs in 13 years!

This could only come out of the Toronto media.  Preposterous and hilarious at the same time.


Ok. Judgy McJudgerston. You know all.


That revolution will be difficult for you since leftists don't believe in guns or the military.


Wow, its like the World's most crazy tin foil hat conspiracy theorists all work for PBS, CBC and BBC. The same folks that said "Trump could never win". :)


The term "orthodox" is just as biased as 'conservative'.  Are they a cult---like "orthodox Jews" are?.  The term "heterodox" implies that 'anything goes'---which is not necessarily what liberals believe.  Liberals are not arguing with what is stated in the Nicene Creed---which defines the basics of what we as Christians believe.

In the 'marriage/family life teachings' of the official church since the 1930's, it is both the 'manner' and 'area' that liberals oppose---most of which are focused solely 'below the belt'.
And it is the fact that those who 'lay down the law' are 'professional eunuchs' whose only REAL experience of married life was when they were children still living at home before going to the Junior Seminary at age 13/14.  Most of these cardinals have no idea how to even approach a woman as an equal [as in married life].


As long as giving 'strong recommendations' to the Pope is the limit of the real effectiveness of this group, there is no point for this committee to reach out to anymore survivors.  The meaning of the word 'strong' is in the ears of the receiver.  Most abuse victims are totally aware of this dynamic and have found out 'strong' recommendations mean nothing to bishops and higher clergy who are not accountable to anyone outside Rome.  Ergo, for bishops, the only 'strong' recommendations come from the Vatican.  It doesn't work the other way around.


Lots of the run up in the markets were based on the hope of a trillion dollar infrastructure promise and the tax reform promise. He did not talk or give any details about that yesterday. I expect  the tax reform part to be executed (because the Replublicans want it) but the infrastructure spending will be a challenge(most republicans dont want it). He talked about building his stupid wall and repealing Obamacare. Both of which does not help the Markets or the dollar.


You missed the nuance Jay.


I agree with you, St Thomas was quite a card in his day.


Yet, you continue to ignore the hundreds of millions of dollars in profit she collected through pure corruption and tried to hide through having a private, illegal, email system.


If no one knows then HOW THE HECK can the Legislators, having the fiduciary responsibility of spending taxpayer money wisely......keep taxing us into perpetuity for this boondoggle?  Why not build a bridge to the mainland or to connect the islands?  Same thing.  That's my point.  I'm not against viable, practical traffic solutions.  But apparently this whole mess isn't about solving the bad traffic on the west side of Oahu.  I envy your kind where you don't have to worry about how much things cost.   And I don't understand your point about me making assumptions.......I never did.   Aloha!


Well, Eric, you could have fixed all of what you assert on the forums here when you worked for Tom Berg at the City Council!


And I didn't even mention how the populists think government is the great satan, when the cost of buying a house has gone up by anywhere from 100% to 500% in the last 10 years, without any help from the government.

So paying $1500 a month for your mortgage is just fine but paying taxes is a huge waste? Gimme a break.


If a person is a virgin (or non-seeing anyone), then they aren't straight or gay until active? Does that "rule" apply to the many high schoolers are completely addled over the gender of their choice but haven't actually done anything about it yet?


Can we see no more of Chatwood?  15 of 75 losses on his record.  And he was to be the #2 pitcher?


I totally agree with Joseph wanting the Broncos to have an attacking offense. I totally disagree with the way he stopped attacking in the fourth quarter and started handing off the ball, trying to run out the clock. This didn't work for Fox, it didn't work for Kubiak, and it won't work for Joseph. Keep attacking, knucklehead.


DT has been in the public eye for over thirty years.  We have all witnessed his immorality and his vulgarity the entire time.  He is a very bad man.  I don't think prayers will help.  I want his administration to fail because I think it is contrary to what Americans value--things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, women's rights, voting rights, the air we breathe, the food we consume, etc., etc., etc.


So, is it fair to charge families or make them pay for park use? Yes I do think it is fair to have car sticker purchase.  It is more fair than tolls on 405.  At some point the middle class will not be able to carry the lower class. Are we at this point now? We need systems in place to share loads. Reasonable rents and choices.  The B&O tax is for roads only.  The sales tax hits lower class citizens the hardest. The increase of taxes goes to support DSHS, section 8, funds in police and parks very underfunded and with population growths, green space is under attack.  Small towns are expanding into natural habitat because the money to save them is gone.  Look at the city of black diamond, Covington, maple valley, carnation, falls city, issaquah, north bend.  Tiger mountain is no longer secluded open space. The trails in the 90s are housing developments. We need a plan.  That is an idea.  Not the best, but good.  We cannot tax up, and min. Wage law placed thousands in unaffordable space.


This road crosses over 40 avalanche zones and still will require ferry access. It's pork for engineer and contractor lobbyists. Period. Sweetwater Hydro, Kensington Mine, and most significantly MacKinnons' investment property adjacent to Kensington Mine. Legislators who go along do so for pork for their own pet pork projects. Deals are made. I'll support you if you support me. Whoosh.  There goes Alaskan's PFDs.


Go Blazers!!  Big win!!!


I'm guessing you mean globalist Trudeau who is busy selling Canada to China for pocket change. Yes I'd never vote for him either.


I support Evan Siddal of CMHC who says collecting data is racist and that ignorance is bliss.

I also support Minister Morneau who has hired the disgraced former Superintendent of Brokers of BC, Carolyn Rogers, to not find out how much foreign money is coming into the country as he also believes ignorance is bliss.

Remember "Stupid is as Stupid Does"


All things equal, UO is eight points better in a game with 80+ points.

   However, this game reaches a high-flux position because of Cal's turnovers vs Oregon's penalties.  Oregon's problem is greater than Cal's which increases the odds of an upset.


Be thankful that you didn't have to see a dermatologist for a skin cancer or one of the other specialists that is in short supply because the public system makes it difficult for them to see you for your particular type of problem in your home country.
Top down central control produces favourites and losers arbitrarily.  You were lucky.


That's too facile a response. Ebes gave a reasonable answer to the question. I don't agree with him, and I would believe that the number of "confused or former Catholics who may visit this site looking for guidance or information" is minimal. But he has a reason for being here, unlike some of the traditionalists who seem to be here merely to troll.


Don't think it's "Ken"--not sufficiently ponderous. I believe the winged monkeys have been dispatched again and some of them are new. It could have been the New Ways piece.


Maybe it would be better just to call it the Labrador Retriever party.  Get color out of it because after all, black labs matter!


Why did Stalin and Hitler divvy up Eastern Europe between themselves?


Thanks for the translation of the acronym, Nigel.

If you don't read a post, then how can you respond to it?  For example,  I stated that US bombing caused NK to hate the US;  then you went on to say that I didn't understand that US bombing caused NK to hate the US, apparently because you did not bother to read my post before critiquing it.

You are wrong about Kim's accelerating WMD/missile program.  It speeded up under Obama's do nothing strategy.

Try reading the articles suggested.

Iraq was invaded in 2003, not 2010.

There are no good options with respect to a lunatic fascist, Kim, who has WMDs and missiles.

SK & Japan can defend themselves well with ABM systems; NK artillery can be neutralized.

A nuke in a container (which can be defended) is better than 200 NK ICBMs and NK transferring WMDs to Syria & Iran.

Getting rid of the crazy, fascist tyrant, Kim, is the least bad option.  The RoK, Japan, Australia, and perhaps even the PRC will assist.  Kim is an unacceptable threat.


Sadly Trump is doing the right thing but the socialistic congress is unwilling to do their share to help move America ahead.


I feel for you Jerry. My son lives out on that side and it just is not fair that the Waianae coast residents do not get the attention they deserve. I recommend many of our politicians need to take a month out of their very "Busy" schedules, live and commute from the leeward side to get an idea of the daily issues and wasted time spent in traffic.


Good comment. and as for ' [In] cases in which THC was the only drug present were analyzed, the culpability ratio was found to be not significantly different from the no-drug group.” '
Yes but this would apply to experienced users.  First time & less experienced pot users should not get behind the wheel.
Part of the education program that is needed.


still too much? unless you are taking a car, yes.
and i am sick and tired of civil comments restrictions on speech.
i may not agree with you, but i agree with your right to say it, sans
4 letter words. CC: you don't rock.


Our most fundamental right is the right to vote.  Yet I have to be registered to do so.  And I have to be an adult.  And I can only vote for certain elections in specific locations.  Why is that?

Rights do not eliminate the states' authorities to impose regulations.  The Supreme Court has stated that explicitly.  Justice Scalia, specifically.  You might chafe at some of these regulations.  Too bad.


Nope


It was like someone put every Woody Allen trope in a blender and hit the Chop button. Jesse Eisenberg doing Woody is impressive for about twenty minutes, then tiring, then torture. But, you know, Woody's like the Chicago Cubs. "Wait till next year!"


GOP got GOOPED.


They're actually not doing much reporting about Mr Trump here, probably because they either don't have any sources or can't bring themselves to admit he exists. Instead, they're talking ABOUT him as a caricature, which I consider very dangerous since tilting at windmills usually doesn't end well.

There is much to report/complain about Mr. Trump, but it won't happen until people get past the tirades and start doing some real reporting.


Trump, contradicting the many and diverse scenarios outlined by White House staff to "explain" the Comey firing, admitted on national television that he fired Comey simply because a number of FBI investigations were putting heat on the White House. This is, de facto, an admission by Trump that he had obstructed justice. Trump asking Comey for a declaration of "loyalty" in a private dinner constitutes obstruction of justice. Trump asking Comey to stop the FBI investigation into Flynn's contacts with Russian figures constitutes an obstruction of justice. There are, of course, additional examples.


THis or just upgrade rail service with a drive on train like the Eurostar and remove the highway completely. This would cost far less and solve the problem by using the railbed which is pretty stable.


Would spelling be yours?


Glad that the musher was found and is ok ! Sounds like it was an accident that his dogs got loose and took off. It happens. Glad that everyone is all ok !


I'd like to see your calculations.
70% of "this guy's" property taxes may go to the Kenai Peninsula Borough.  Some goes to the City of Seldovia where the mill rate is higher than the Boroughs and a lesser value of his property value is located.  You  go on and provide the calculation.   But only a relatively small % of that goes to the School District and an even smaller % goes to the school in Seldovia.  Check it all out and report back.


This is a shocking statement following the recent event in Quebec City.


Temporary and seasonal jobs are a great way to gain experience and often lead to full time permanent employment.


I wish there was a "rolling eyes" emoticon.


The way the left is going after the first amendment lately, nothing would surprise me.

The lack of coherence in your post does surprise me a bit, though.


"Students can’t and won’t be forced to expose their body to another if they are distressed about it."

Damn, I wish I'd known that when I was in high school. It certainly seemed like you were forced to then.


An unusually blatant example of trolling from Ms. Wente today, but I'll bite....

Yes, Margaret, I would apologize and willingly pay my $0.30 share of the settlement, though I would much prefer that two successive U.S. governments and at least two successive Canadian governments had not put me (and us) in the position that made it necessary to do so.

Option A. Khadr is captured with severe injuries, which are properly treated while he is legally and humanely interrogated. If warranted by the facts of the case, he is tried in a court of law appropriate to his age.

Option B. Khadr is captured with severe injuries which are not properly treated. He is severely abused in detention, his rights are completely disregarded, and he is sentenced in a military court with scant interest in ascertaining the true facts or in acting within the bounds of law.

Tough choice, isn't it, Margaret? But actions have consequences for governments as well as individuals.


You hear this month after month.  Private sector Canada is being flushed down the toilet, while the overpaid, underworked public sector feasts at the trough.   Meanwhile, useless Justin only cares about carbon taxes and his activist causes.  Canada needs a leader for ordinary Canadians.


renters have no place to rent.  I am not concerned about landlords. .  But you cannot force property owners  to rent their place out.  Rent control hurts those who want to move and newcomers the most, because existing tenants don't mive, and there is no new rental units.


"HOW do suppose society holds governments accountable?"

Elections or revolutions - take your pick.


Also like racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and just plain stupidity.


I was commenting on illegal prostitution as it is here in Colorado. I was not making a broad judgement.
Illegal prostitution goes hand in hand with human trafficking. I am against that and think it is disgusting.
Prostitution in Colorado often involves minors.

So what I was talking about is disgusting and harmful.
Two consenting adults engaging in private is great.

How are you doin’? </joey voice>


That was then, this is now: A trove of more than 100 of the leaked Wikileaks diplomatic cables in 2010 provides an unvarnished view of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan's career at the U.S. Department of State, where he spent two-and-a-half years holding high-level meetings on oil and gas, climate change, and other issues. Sullivan's work on climate change included meetings with German, Mexican, and French diplomats, some of them involving lobbying on behalf of an initiative from President Bush to "actually get a framework agreement among the major economies and (a) long-term global greenhouse gas reduction goal by the end of 2008," according to one summer 2007 cable. The cables show Sullivan's efforts behind the scenes. A public address and press conference he gave in Europe in 2008 also addressed the Bush administration's climate change initiatives.

The gratuitous, unmerited - in fact the "unreasonable" - love we give to our neighbors (or not) is a direct expression of the love we have for God.

"least of your brethren" applies, John.

Too much self focus...your hurt, your pain, you.  waaHAAH.

I "side" with Christ.

That we make a big deal about our hurts, our pains, our bullied memories..says that we think an awful lot about ourselves.  We hold ourselves very high on the priority list...higher than our neighbor, and higher than God.


Do you think he two year extension is so that when they come back for more, it will be a non-election year again?


"The majority of Americans are right when they say Russia accomplished a regime change in USA without firing a shot."

They didn't.  You're trying to infuse a  Nikita Khrushchev statement as an American belief. Americans do think the Russians interfered but only 26% of them think their interference made any difference.  Nice try, though.


You must have seen the Kid Rock video where he dreamed of bullets costing $5,000 each.   People would have to save up their money to buy a bullet to kill someone.  This is not a new idea.  I have  always feared "bullet control"  as the back door assault on the Second Amendment.


Not a bubble team - they have some talent and more is coming from the ranks.
But almost every team will be life and death to make the play offs next year... its called parity.


This means someone investigating these matters discovered these items and gave Podesta a heads up ... who then retroactively disclosed his "actual" "real" "demonstrable" Russian work.


Dixon's letter is a bunch of drivel.  FOXNews has surely helped advance the nation's cause, hasn't it?  I refuse to jump to conclusions, and will wait to see what happens before I get excited.  This is an example of the media's doing its best to agitate.


On no, the Horror, Congress actually having to do its job. Perhaps Congress is held in such low regard by the populace because it's obvious they do nothing but cash paychecks.


I believe you but it still does not answer why she said it disappeared overnight when she went to collect her paycheck.  Why lie when it serves no purpose?


Everyone didn't drive SUVs 25 years ago in Edmonton. I don't remember any problems at all driving regular cars. And parking was way easier.


The only thing "ruinous" about global warming (which is only occurring in the "fudged" data) is the fraud being perpetrated by the fasted growing CO2 producers; China, Russia and India...who are all increasing CO2 emissions with no constraints while the U.S. is reducing CO2 emissions. But it is never enough for the fascist left. The socialist dictators club (U.N) was hoping U.S. would elect a Democrat Party President who would pay them tributes to support their tyanny...but Trump said no. Too bad. Hillarity would have been ALL IN!


Sixth - Snatch $2.4 trillion in cash from the world's billionaires (assuming that wouldn't crash the worldwide economy ... which it would) and divide it among the 99%ers in the US (about 319 M people) and we all walk away with a one-time payment of - $7,500. Yeah, that's all of it.

Seventh - And, of course, that's only a one-shot deal. Medicare for All will require $10,000 per recipient for every year going forward,  increasing as time goes on. Tax burden increases on all of us and pretty soon we're all paying 50%-60% and then the government starts reducing available medical care quality to cut costs ... as they do in other countries now.

So, it's not that I think you should have to be rich to afford medicare care. It's that I think medical insurance -- if it exists at all -- should conform to economic reality and I think I'd rather have access to actual medical care rather than pay for placebo medical insurance.

It's not about a lack of compassion. It's about understanding reality.


Spilling coffee is a more believable story than say, wiping a server clean of 33,000 "personal" emails. And, then she says " . . . like you mean with a towel?"


He or her doesn't understand gun speak. A rim to them is something totally different, wink wink.


Ironic watching Murky cast her vote against GMO salmon, citing "public health concerns", when she can't muster a vote in favor of common sense gun laws.


As I mentioned  in.http://boreal.ca/DearJames.htm "It's not that I don't appreciate the view from your standpoint, but I am presumptuous enough to believe that I am performing a public service which the mainstream media cannot, or will no longer perform, mainly out of fear and political correctness.

In my opinion, readers of this opinion piece by Khan could benefit from some of the observations about Islamic scriptures you will find on my website that the mainstream media avoids for the reasons just stated and that is why I post a link.


Thanks for the clarification - it's so hard to keep straight who on the left is whose minion these days (even though we all know they're all ultimately funded by George Soros, right?) - but I'm still not sure what you mean by "bought and paid for." If you're saying that "the teacher's union" bribed NAACP leadership into opposing charters, then please provide some reputably-sourced evidence; otherwise, you're just a Hannity.

Of course the "average working family in a poor area" - one wonders at what your definition of that might be - is free to decide what's best for their children. The argument of the study that Mr. Izard so vehemently decries, as well as my point about the NAACP call for a moratorium, is about what happens when rich white people decide that they should starve public schools of funding in order to promote a system of unaccountable, classist, borderline-segregationist charters.


Do you know that Vancouver is owned by the Chinese who send all profits back to China? The Russians doing business in Toronto send it all back home too. What are we going to do about this? The Indians send millions back to India to family and friends much of it benefit money issued by our government . What should we do ...or are you going to take care of it for us? I guess you are Sunni?


Of course it's your vote. No one, to my knowledge, has suggested otherwise.  However, in states where the vote might be close, a third party vote is, in effect, a vote for the candidate LEAST like the one you vote for...ie. you would have voted for A, not for B and you voted for C....you cost A a vote by doing so........idealism vs pragmatism.......


"The median four-year cost of medical school (including expenses and books) was $278,455 for private schools, and $207,866 for public schools in 2013 according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

"According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2016–2017 school year was $33,480 at private colleges, $9,650 for state residents at public colleges, and $24,930 for out-of-state residents attending public universities."

Looks like the costs to become a doctor in the US could easily exceed $300,000. One of my nieces is now in her second year of internship. Her costs, including the value of the many scholarships she received, exceeds $300,000. She can work some of it off by putting in ten years of 501c3 practice.

Looking at the accrued interest that piles up on student debt and the $15,000-$30,000 annually that many US doctors have to pay for malpractice insurance, one could see how Finnish doctors could work for substantially less.


Most of the time when a conservatives hears something he doesn't like, he'll rush to call it fake news. But you went right to step 2...you introduced an alternative fact with your "52 employees in wind and solar to produce what 1 in coal does". I don't have to guess where you pulled that from.

Neither alternative facts nor the industry con of referring to it as "clean" coal is going to change that the fact that in 2017 coal is a filthy, inefficient fuel, agimarc.


Be aware because this time will be pretty hard.


Joe, your spot on.. What a different set of people living in Alaskan urban communities than Alaskans I knew over 4 decades ago


Why are you so scared?

I'd like to buy that Lance Corporal a beer. That man knows what the position of Attention is and how to hold it! OOO-RAH!

When you have over 100,000 rich Chinese buy up your homes, that is the result.


Anyone can pull "facts" from the internet. If I pull "facts" from a source that you think is to conservative, would you believe them? How about a liberal source? Unless one is actually in the production themselves you wont know true fact from BS.

The political right survived 8 years of Obama's "insane executive orders".

I posted (to HUGE down voting) during that time - as the left was cheering Obama's executive orders - that this was a dangerous precedent, and that they should be very careful, because at some point, SOMEBODY ELSE would be sitting in the Oval Office, signing these.

Now, somebody else has "a phone and a pen" -  the shoe is on the other foot, and the left is howling.

Good...


Along the same lines, one way to estimate the total cost of the carbon tax would be to average out Ontario's inflation rates for at least a few months in 2017 vs. the inflation rates in Provinces like Manitoba and Quebec (who didn't bring out a new carbon tax) during the same months.

For example, for January Ontario saw 2.3% year-over-year inflation vs. 1.3% in Quebec and 2.1% in Manitoba.  Of course there is a lot of variation and other reasons why inflation might be lower or higher in any given month, hence why averaging out over a longer of period of time can help "smooth things out".

Sill it is not unreasonable to guess that Ontario's Cap 'n Trade added maybe 0.6 percentage points to inflation, averaging inflation here vs. Manitoba and Quebec.  So if your family's after-tax income is $50,000/year the cap'n'trade tax might be costing you about $300/year?

Actually the cap'n'trade tax is expected to be a bit regressive, so with $50,000/year income it probably costs more than $300.


Much of what American voters are witnessing this election cycle actually occurred back in the 1930s in the country we now call Germany.  The all-powerful demagogue is an important link not only to both eras and countries, but to how easy it can be to deceive people even in this age of technology!


The Democrat party is the most dangerous threat facing America.  Far more dangerous than ISIS, they do nothing to help Americans, and everything to help themselves. Tar and feathers time folks.


This article is about Trump, not Clinton. Are you simple?


He was a pastor of the Confessing Church who was sent to the death camps for participating in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Hitler.  He was hung 30 minutes before the Flossenburg concentration camp was liberated.

So many teens (unfairly) get a bad reputation. Most are great. But even among good kids, from early adolescejce, there is immense social pressure to "not be a snitch" and turn a blind eye to criminal behavior. Snitches get stitches, after all. Some even celebrate and glamorize the thugs. Sometimes out of fear or coercion, but many think it's "cool" to be a hoodlum and tough.

But yes, it's baffling as to why all accomplices (that can be proven) aren't being charged. Perhaps there is debate about whether they should be charged as juveniles or adults, to what degree of charge should be filed, or whether others involved were actually willing participants or threatened into aiding. Just some possible explanations.


So in other words you haven't moved on


Typical...through your country under the bus because your pick lost.


As these protesters march across Canada against Islamophobia and Trumps immigration ban, are they  aware that Muslim families, here in Canada, are selling their young daughters to 60 year old Muslim men?

SELLING their young daughters!

Here in Canada!

Are they aware of this as they march against Islamophobia?

Not true. NYPD stopped him, just google it. Officer Ryan Nash, NYPD


"In the immediate aftermath of the Vegas shooting, gun haters were blaming firearms owners and the NRA."

Which was an entirely appropriate reaction, and which in a normal country would be followed up by political and legislative action.


Don't overthink it, young lady.  The legislature allowed OTW (One Term Willie) to tamper with folks PFD payouts (veto NOT overridden)  and discovered what is meant by a "third rail".  Unless there is a sudden outbreak of vastly improved hearing amongst legislators this election was simply what might be called "a good beginning".

Now?  On to the recall!

"Most parishes have a range of activities and programs for such groups".  When was the last time that you saw any program in any parish program earmarked for Singles---ONLY.  AND it did not attempt to play "cupid" with them?

Secondly, you did not READ carefully what I wrote.  I stated that "the very people Jesus held up as heroes/heroines both in his parables or whom he met in actual life---were those who were seen as "irregular" or in "irregular situations."

Your conclusion is that ONLY people who are in living together and not married and the divorced and remarried are in 'irregular situations'.

In Jesus' time, Samaritans, lepers, non-Jews like Romans and Syro-Phoenicians, tax-collectors, the crippled, blind and lame, elderly widows----were in "irregular situations".

Jesus came for those in irregular situations.  He did not come for those who Think that they are the righteous.


After Governor Hammond and Arlis Sturgilowski the Republican party died.


Not that the recent development in Chinatown got it all right but they are moving in a better direction. The addition of art galleries, bars, theatres (Hawaii and Kumu Kahua), and restaurants gives a truly urban vibrancy that is hard to beat. By keeping aspects of Chinatown like the markets and small shops in place makes for a better experience  as a whole. A complete gentrification of Chinatown would be a mistake.

Inclusiveness is the key and. like it or not, homelessness is part of the fabric of the Chinatown. They may be shoved here and there but the deeper problems still remain. I would like to see these new entrepreneurs, Millennials or otherwise, proactively deal with the homeless in way that is more humane and supportive, rather than simply focus on profits and personal gains. After all, that's what makes Chinatown such a  wonderful place to live, work, and play in the first place - creating a real community for all.


What a great post!  I hope that Mike will think about wintering over and doing research for a book.  My wife and I went by this historical piece of history many years ago and it's good to see folks are living there.  We're over 80, but maybe this would be a place to retire.  It has to beat the lower 48!!


I want to congratulate Dave Donley for his integrity and outrage at the way Alaska's votes were counted. It ended the way it should have ended with all votes going to the nominee. However, it could have been done through a change of votes to declare that the delegation would unanimously declare all votes for Trump. I am surprised that the Speaker, Ryan, didn't ask for a unanimous declaration that the convention was for Trump. Donley was correct in demanding a recount, And the lawyers were right to declare all votes for Trump. Cruz's speech proved that he is not a team player and did not deserve any Alaska votes or any other state's votes either. He was part of the 17 that insisted that Trump sign a pledge to support the eventual nominee. Cruz signed that pledge and then refuses to honor it since Trump was the nominee. This shows that Cruz is not worthy and is not honorable to ever become a serious candidate for President in the future. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.


And, of course, still no talk of the $30 Billion dollar deficit of the Hawaii State Employees Retirement fund.  This will only make it worse!
At a certain point you just run out of other people's money!
But hey, Ige wouldn't have a chance of being re-elected without some vote buying.  Would he?


Coming up next ... restrictions on the resale prices of houses.

Perhaps, given time, we can return to all the tenets of early medieval Christianity and ban all commerce that seeks to make a profit without directly producing the item sold. Usury can go out the window as well.


Pfiffner was a good lawyer and now is a good judge. Parnell nominated Pfiffner and he was approved by the legislature because of his anti-abortion background. I find it amusing that the conservative's penchant for nominating judges based on social issues comes back to haunt them.


You can thank Bill Clinton for this mess.


You're right, but people surrender voluntarily in return for free stuff or a discount; it starts young. Facebook uses face recognition to track you when people identify you in their photos. People accept auto insurance telematics boxes without knowing how the algorithm is judging them. Hackers will have fun though.


I quit cycling in 2010.    Our area has two-lane
highways without shoulders.   I'm much safer now, and
I prefer hiking in the forest over being on roads.

Around 2000, I'd been hit by a truck which ran a red light
at an intersection.  The driver was old.  I went over the hood.
My shoulder was sore for a month.


How come CNN writes that an explosive device blew up in Saskatoon yesterday and the Globe doesn't talk about it ?


Does anyone else think that EFC1127A doth protest too much?


I get it, you're nic in a new disguise, right?  Very funny, dude!  Especially the part about Trump not being hateful in his dealings with people--just ask all those people he shafted by refusing to pay his bills.  You're very funny!


Thank you


Are they sure the roof will hold?


It never occurs to these geniuses when you have no money, no car, barely any food or shelter, that it isn't too shocking that you actually don't want 10 kids.  Most poor women can't get access to birth control so their situation becomes harder and harder and that is why abortion rates in poor or oppressive countries are higher not lower than in places like the U.S.


Keep the U.S. out of it.


The Trumpists don’t care about dead citizens unless it can enhance their political power or please their corporate masters.


yes, fornication is a sin against oneself. But only oneself. Not your father, mother, family or God.


Yeah you never called me despicable and immature before the last election. Guess the Big Island is Trump country huh? Maybe you should rename the TMT the Trumpscope.


And any law that goes against the constitution is not a law. Please read our constitution to fully understand what this is all about. It is written in very clear English so all can understand unlike most of the "laws" written today.


The $79 rate you are quoting is actually commercial (business), the residential rates provided by private sector ISP’s on this network are different and lower. For example, at least one ISP has already announced $59/month residential (home) gigabit service in Lane County. Many of the early subscribers are actually small businesses, where $1,000/month is a lot of money. Moreover, in the coming weeks and months you’ll read about multiple local school districts, government agencies, and residential neighborhoods around Lane County who are benefiting from this work. You don’t need to be a big city to have world-class internet infrastructure, any longer…


So he has a good head for criminology and corrects a lot of misinformation. Maybe it's because these topics are the ones that bring out the knee-jerk reactionary weirdos who only parrot the half-truths and outright lies MSN/CNN/DNC et al feed them.


How could you say that? No one deserves to die no matter how bad they are.

What is the point in logging them? Are you going to try to manage them for adequate escapement? Or maybe a maximum sustained yield?
There is actually a position worth examining that the Board and ADFG lack authority to "manage" a fishery on non-AK hatchery fish. They might even be considered an invasive species as they could be eating up bait stocks that Cook Inlet Kings need before they get to the rivers.


Seems to me its the white rednecks that are doing the littering.I love how you assume everyone is a "leftie". There are as many conservatives concerned because, well, you know...science.


My own personal take was that Mike Pence looked presidential, which may be enough to win over some undecided voters who are antsy about voting for Trump at the top of the ticket. Tim Kaine made the mistake of interrupting too much, which didn't go over well, but on matters of substance he seemed more in command of the facts. Unfortunately for Pence, the portrait of Trump he presented bore no resemblance to the actual Trump, and for anyone who values truth in this election (which, as in war, seems to be the first casualty) that's a problem. Time will tell, but as Steve Schmidt said yesterday, this was probably the least consequential VP debate in a generation since all the interest is being generated at the top of the ticket, specifically with Donald Trump's daily antics.

Great description of the Democratic Party of today. Particularly their expertise at fraudulent elections entwined in corruption and cronyism. How else did they do such a dismal job in the Ghettos, retain power while the Blacks murder each other, have little education or job opportunity.  Hillary, scapegoating election loss to Russia which I think is pretty well debunked. Probaby their own IT guys. Oh yeah  the Clinton man on the inside Comey. Even the media???? Eruptions on the moon??/ Ha, Ha? Wanting to control the Catholic Church. Protect the Military Complex and Arms industry by promoting war with Russia. Disdain for Right to Life!  Wanted to go on a fetus late term  murdering spree so fully developed fetuses could fetch a better price for Black blood and baby parts!


Wow, our young PM was really quick to condemn this barbaric act as a terrorism against Islam.
Will this have anything to do with his family ties to Iran, holidays with a rich Islamic prince, close friendship with another pro-iranian Obama,  addressing a mosque with ties to Hamas and defending the niqab.
Where's his outrage for the honor killings, female genital mutilation.
His refusal to identify islamic terrorism by it's name speaks volumes of hypocrisy.


It's bizarre to me that if someone holds a public office (I.e. HPD, DPA, Mayor) they are protected. When there is misconduct by any of these offices they are protected under the law! But, when you are a victim of police misconduct or prosecutor misconduct you have NO protection. Public citizens who become victims of police misconduct or prosecutor misconduct can file Complaints, but that's all it is! All too often such complaints go to the bottom of the pile or are dismissed outright! Sad, very sad....


Way to go Robyn and the Wahine ! Dave is a tough act to follow....Good Luck !


Would "neutralizing threats" include:
i) nuking watch batteries with radiation?
ii) selectively releasing radon gas from sealed areas so it can seep up and poison people?
iii) aiming cell/radiation masts at people's beds so they are bombarded with the kind of radiation that those who are honest agree can significantly increase cancer rates.
iv) ensuring there is silica added to bevrages so that once ionized by radiation, it causes a form of "silicosis"?

Hold it.   How many people, I mean "super criminals" did Bill Clinton put in jail during his stint as president?  Do the incarcerated count towards the employed or the unemployed?  Just wondering.  Bill Clinton has even conceded that his policies caused the prison population to explode.

Cameras may help in giving us better policing and raising public confidence, if actually used, with proper oversight outside the policeman’s "blue club" (with due consideration for privacy). They won’t solve all the problems we have with excessive force or inappropriate force, but they may encourage more restraint. It’s a good step towards police reform which is sorely needed nationwide and here in Kent. I only hope we have the civilian leadership that Tukwila, Seattle and other cities have shown. The KPD Chief doesn't seem to want to be in front of the issue - he's characterized this as a money issue vice safety (everyone's) and professional conduct. Maybe a change in leadership is warranted if timely progress is to be had? Must we wait till the city’s insurers show the cost breakdown of civil suit payouts for bad police behavior? Aren't recent controversial police actions and body count enough to demand action? Next step - challenge the policeman’s protection racket, their union.

That's the thing about legislation...if there are concerns about the constitutionality of it, it's best to let it die. The fact that Dunleavy was this enthusiastic to push this potentially unconstitutional bill speaks to his incompetence.

Seems like a lot of people are willing to spend a lot of money for not much. I bought a Chrysler Horizon with a 9 month loan in 1979, a Voyager without a loan in 1986, another in 1992 with an 18 month loan, and a Yaris in 2008 without a loan. Chrysler used to abuse their warranty registration access to my address to send me marketing material. I told them to have more faith in their product, because I planned to drive them past Y2K and to stop wasting their money trying to peddle me new vehicles. The VW Beetle arrived in the middle of the ear of Planned Obsolescence for the Auto Industry. Ford launched a market research to get information about their surprising competition, assuming that bugs were being bought by people who could not afford a "real" car. To their surprise they found that VWs were being bought by doctors, engineers, scientists, lawyers, ..., who didn't fall for the Planned Obsolescence new car as status symbol PR line.

QNX has a suite of self driving related products for over a year now, go look it up.  They have been in the automotive for decades and have a head start right there.  What does QNX primarily being used for infotainment have to do with anything?  Linux and Unix are used for everything from simple games, to complex applications and more.  QNX can be found in nuclear plants, satellites and other high security applications.  Plus why does Blackberry have limited resources?  They have billions in the bank, billions in assets and thousands of employees and decades of know how, not to mention having Fairfax investments standing behind them.  You show nothing to back up what you are saying here.


The new administration has finally figured out that we are giving away the Canadian store to China by telling them we have open access to the American mall.

Less than half of sexual assault trials result in a conviction. Perhaps the real problem is not lack of judges, staff and space but too many prosecution being approved to go forward by the crown. If there were fewer unwinnable cases in the courts the other cases could receive more attention.

I have and like cars but enjoyed the article. It was mentioned how much time the average car spends being parked. There is a clear opportunity here for disruption by figuring out the insurance issue and allowing owners of cars to rent theirs out, like Air BnB. I think I read about something along this line. Clearly the big hurtle is how to address liability, repairs and the like. I strongly doubt that a car insurance company would be amused if their insureds were renting out their vehicles. But for every problem there is a solution and perhaps a price to be paid. Many of us would likely gladly 'lend' our cars more often, if we felt that we were covered in terms of liability, and a fair amount paid to cover overhead and opportunity.


It's not just Pillay. She did the honourable thing and resigned after the fact, but thereafter the Shelley Garland author was tracked down and surprised at his place of work. Not unlike what the Apartheid-era's secret police did to people back in the not so good old days.

It's disingenuous and it insults everyone's intelligence to try and make this out as his error for pointing out the procedural problems in many of our not so reputable media franchises.

Ultimately, the editor could have just contacted the real author and asked for a follow-up op-ed to set the record straight. This as an olive branch and as an attempt to restore some of its reputation. Now it appears that the author pointed out egg on their faces and they turned themselves into omelettes.
