One can only hope that the excesses of the "age of liberals and progressives" is FINALLY coming to an end - or at least the intense political struggles that are occurring will eventually introduce more balance into our social and political cultures than has been the case for the last few decades. I, for one, will be happy if, when I reach an advanced age, society looks back on the period just past as a time when some of the loopy and irrationally idealistic dogmas of the left come to be seen as ridiculous as those of those Medieval theologians who debated how many angels could fit on the head of a pin. | 0 | not toxic |

"A correction now: Over the course of this last week we have made some regrettable errors on air regarding the Muslim population in Europe, particularly with regard to England and France. Now, this applies especially to discussions of so-called ‘no-go zones,’ areas where non-Muslims allegedly aren’t allowed in and police supposedly won’t go.
"To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones in either country and no credible information to support the assertion there are specific areas in these countries that exclude individuals based solely on their religion. There are certainly areas of high crime in Europe as there are in the United States and other countries — where police and visitors enter with caution.
"We deeply regret the errors and apologize to any and all who may have taken offense, including the people of France and England."

“My party doesn’t exist anymore,” she said.
And my Canada doesn't exist any more. It's been disappearing since the Mulroney-Campbell era.
We are "in great peril" of being dragged down the same slope of fascism Trump has pushed the US.
Ms. Campbell's Mulroney government started the fall down that slope with their sell out to Reagan and the corporatized Americans, turning Canada into a "branch plant" of the global economy owned by billionaire oligarchs. It was under Campbell that Canada was run less as a nation, more like a corporation.
As the Justice Minister in that 1984-92 era, she presided over the shrinking of legal aid so that today the wealthy can buy justice but the rest of us live at the mercy of the wealthy and upper middle class. Today women cannot afford legal help even when custody of their children is at stake.
Campbell as champion of women's rights? Oh, yeah, the women's rights of the upper middle class. | 0 | not toxic |

Okay I'm a big fan of Jeff's, but leaf mold, anthracnose, brown patch and dollar spot are all common fungal turf infections that can remedy themselves in summer eventually but are brought on by leaves lying on turf thru winter along with temperature and humidity.

Republicans talk all the time about the need to have simple, flat tax plans with no deductions or credits and yet, the SB21 scheme is about the most convoluted, complex piece of tax legislation this state has ever seen. Alaska Oiligarchy should use a system that rewards simplicity at every level and that oil companies could send to Juneau on one piece of paper. Would probably save the state millions in administration costs as well as saving the oil companies the need to hire an army of accountants. | 0 | not toxic |

Fortunately shooter is still alive and we may learn what motivated him to leave.

As for now I’m 100% correct, there’s no support that CC had anything to do with anything EXCEPT for the known fact that CC guns drawn slowed investigation of an active and at large shooter.

In fairness, the Super Hornet Block III (I am not sure if we are getting this one) is a very capable aircraft chock full of the latest technology including a fairly low radar cross signature. It is not as stealthy as the F-35 and many not have its flying performance, but it is not bad. The larger question is whether the costs will be more or less the same. Assuming the F-35 comes in at a fly-away cost of $80M it would be in the ballpark of the Super Hornet. So do you buy 80% of the capability if the costs are the same? | 0 | not toxic |

I can imagine all that you stated and see it while driving into any US city. We have homeless citizens and illegals and I have given money and food and other to both. You mentioned rights well no they don't have the same rights as citizens but with pro illegal alien states and/or cities they are able to operate as though they DO have the rights of citizens. I live in a border town in an illegal sanctuary state that has been overrun by illegals from Mexico and now other countries, as well. This state has lost its focus so no more much that the needs of citizens a re no longer even in the equation. It is this that is not fair, sir. Now, imagine being one of my Black friends and having your neighborhoods that were once majority black and jobs that were majority black filled and resources that once were able to you now inaccessible and absorbed by illegals and those they've given birth to ON the backs of blacks' ancestirs' 14th amendment.

Ridiculous.
The definition I cited: ""control of an organization or group by the majority of its members."
The definition you cited: "a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives." You somehow feel that the involvement of elected representatives is a requisite of democracy, but that's not what your definition says.
So no substantive difference in either definition. In both cases the essence of democracy is majority rule. | 0 | not toxic |

He originally said he might not accept the results and everyone freaked. Then the Democrats "did" what he only talked about and went into a frenzy to try and overturn the results. And no one notices the hypocrisy? IF Putin had anything to do with providing hacked emails of the DNC to WikiLeaks, the information was still true, but too boring to have actually affected Hillary's campaign. James Comey"s actions, on the other hand, probably did affect a very small percentage of voters. Not enough to swing any states. That was meddling that no one seems to care about.

Hillary Clinton lost because she failed to win enough votes in enough states to electorally win. Any bad news that hurt her campaign was true, unlike the smear campaign against Trump with the parade of sexual harassment "claims" that disappeared as quickly as they appeared once it became evident that it wasn't working.

Not quite, Silverhorn. Krugman, writing at 1 AM election night, predicted a global recession. Next morning he apologized publicly (does Trump ever do that? How about Bill O'Reilly?) and said he had overreacted out of shock, which is understandable - I had the same reaction, a truly deep gloom as we went from rational Obama administration to Trump. I'm getting used to that now, and so, I assume, is Paul Krugman. I think you exaggerate for effect. If you don't like Krugman's economics, social theory, or politics, that's your business, it harms me not at all. | 0 | not toxic |

"if Saskatchewan doesn't implement a price on carbon, does that undermine other provinces' efforts to reduce GHGs or Ottawa's chances of meeting its international targets? The answer is yes, which suggests it is a matter of national concern."
The answer is no.
1) A carbon tax has very limited influence on fuel consumption.
2) Saskatchewan sequesters large amounts of carbon which helps meet targets.
3) Saskatchewan also has other CO2 reduction programs and initiatives that are more suited to its situation. | 0 | not toxic |

Perhaps the saddest aspect of all is that the toddler, if they live, will readily forgive her mother if she sees her again. Brutes and molesters count on this ready forgiveness to keep on with their atrocities. There is no excuse for any adult, male or female, to do this type of damage to a child. While I am not opposed to corporal punishment, there is a huge gulf between what is acceptable and what is not. Anybody that bruises a child or raises a welt has gone way to far. For a toddler, a loud no is all you need to get their attention. As they grow stuff like time outs can take on meaning they understand followed up at a later age by adding loss of privileges is a more effective way of correcting a child. In no instance is kicking, throwing, shaking, etc. reasonable. Call for help if you or your spouse are even approaching any of these extremes. | 0 | not toxic |
