Why would these investors be buying houses that they can't rent out because there's nobody to live in them? That doesn't sound like a particularly realistic worry. If they continue to build houses when there's nobody to live in them house prices will go down, which is exactly what we want.

It’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ job to parse Trump’s statements and highlight any possible positives, brush away any negatives. He’s a grown man who shouldn’t need any more help. When Trump says out loud that other presidents didn’t make calls, he’s generally saying they didn’t do as good a job of reaching out as he is now. The time limit for the “He’s not an experienced public official” excuse has long ago expired. Btw, he’s WRONG about the others not calling. He frequently makes WRONG statements. Once or twice is to be human. Every other day is an ldiot. Would you disagree with that? A classier statement would have been, “Sorry, I forgot to mention them in my speeches, but I’ll write letters and call the families, as my honorable predecessors all did.” These events are all recorded. Why would you doubt the accounts, which will be easily checked and verified or disproved within hours? Why do you believe any BS Trump says (hint, you can easily do a search on “fact check”).

Russia is a Western nation and culture with interests completely aligned with the West. You can see that in two world wars, where the Russians were allies. This dynamic would be true today if things actually got serious. If you stand back and ignore the noise for a moment; it becomes very clear that the notion of Russia as 'enemy' is simply not true. Google Putin's own comments on this topic - they are illuminating. So you need to ask yourself and research, whose interests does it serve to demonize Russia? It's a fun rabbit-hole.

Which verse of the bible are you referring too, there are three. United definition: "joined together" politically, for a common purpose. The fasci they formed were scattered over Italy, and it was to one of these spontaneously created groups, devoid of party affiliations, that . Fasci or Fascists were "scattered over Italy". HMM lots of dictators all over Italy. Fascim definition:an authoritarian and nationalistic "right-wing" system of government and social organization. synonyms: authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; More (in general use) "extreme right-wing", authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice. You can argue until the cows come home but facts are facts. Since your in the verse mood “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” You quoted this verse earlier and yet you have thrown many a boulder at Hillary. and others. Do you live by the rule of the Bible or are you just good at quoting.

I consider Kellyanne Conway to be the High Priestess of spin. Her ability to explain Pres. Elect Donald Trump to the people of the U.S. has quite a lot to do with his becoming president. In this age of twitter and soundbites, when most citizens rarely read a newspaper article, not even online, her ability to manipulate and justify the most belligerent comments made by her boss, Donald Trump, make her a real asset to such a determined opportunist. We do not need her teaching like-minded Canadians her tricks. I hope Alberta's far-right Conservatives don't give leave of their senses for a dream of "Making Canada Great Again".

Why did you ignorantly say the Constitution lacks a provision without reading the Constitution before commenting? Yes there is something in the Constitution that says the federal government must build and maintain an interstate highway system. It's in the Postal Clause. Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads". Too bad you're too lazy to make the effort, especially citing "only 17 pages long." You also imply that if Congress passes an unconstitutional law, it's okay to pass more of them. That defeats the purpose of the Constitution and a federal government with powers that are "few and defined." As for your other ignorant and incoherent statement, if Congress can "only" do what the Constitution specifically says then limited government, state sovereignty and a Constitution that serves its correct purpose. If we don't have a Congess to pass laws, who else would they be passed? Try reviewing your comments before posting.

Scott, very informative article. It shows the difficulty in futures trading. You need to get both the direction and the timing correct. It looks to me that if the price is currently being driven by the futures market as you indicate, than this means that we should eventually see the price of oil increase to reflect supply/demand balance. The investment in production has been much lower the past 2 years as the price of oil has been declining. Eventually this will have a large impact on world production and with demand on a steady but slow upward climb, inventories will drop. I see US shale being able to fill some of this void with fairly quick turnaround, but it won't be able to make up all production that is being lost, especially in those long time frame and expensive deep water wells. This seems to me like a good opportunity to pick up some solid low cost, well financed producers that have seen stock prices driven down due to concern about the recent drop in oil prices.

There's a world of difference between saying "something someone doesn't like" and insulting a woman who is with you. For example, "I think Trump is an excellent candidate (that's something Mr. Capri might not like) and "lady, you're a real dyke" (that's an insult). I don't know exactly what was said, but it notes it was a homosexual slur. Certainly, Mr. Capri should not have touched the man....in today's world, you're just going to pay a price for such an act. As I mentioned in another post, it's too bad the woman who was insulted didn't step up and slap the man herself. I'm 74 and for all the years of my "youth", if a man insulted a woman, he was likely to get seriously embarrassed when she slapped him. It reads like this guy deserved it. Would she have been charges with assault? Maybe, but can you imagine a guy filing an assault charge against a woman whom he insulted and gave him a well-deserved slap? It'd be rather embarrassing, wouldn't it.

The irony here is that Marx, who wrongly believed the Russians wouldn't adopt his political-economic system, nonetheless pretty much pegged it when he said the rulers and beneficiaries of the advanced capitalist states would jettison patriotism except when they needed it to whip up impoverished masses to fight their wars-for-profit. And so we see it happening. And not just with Trump schmoozing Vlad the Derailer and saluting the fat Korean kid. Both parties have sacrificed US interests on the altar of Israeli interests since the Truman administration. AIPAC operatives have been on-hand at every presidential inauguration since to convey the new CIC his marching orders from Tel Aviv (except POSSIBLY Nixon's, and they jumped on him with both feet to bail them out of the Ramadhan/Yom Kippur war in '73).

Angela Merkel has been a great proponent of multiculturalism. Unfortunately, the massive influx of migrants to Germany had no real intention of becoming Germans. Instead, they expected to remain Syrians, Turks, Pakistanis or Moroccans, but with first world incomes and benefits. Within this patchwork of parallel societies reside groups of people with values that are inimical to those of the host country. Radical Islam is the most visible example, and incidents of terrorism, mass sexual assaults and other crimes are some of the consequences. If it is allowed to flourish, it could within the next 20-30 years destroy the traditions and integrity of many western European countries, including their economies.

Bill Clinton's economic conservatism did not occur in a vacuum. You will recall Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" and the fact that Republicans obtained a majority in Congress in 1994. Obama is also an economically conservative Democrat and also faced a Republican majority in the House. Progress will be made when the Republican party is fully repudiated and the Democrats take over the political center. The Republican party is showing its true colors in Donald Trump. With the Republicans, you've got a range from "weapons of mass destruction" Dick Chaney to "deport all the Mexicans and Muslims" Donald Trump and their followers range from misogynist Christians to knuckle dragging white supremacists. Mentally stable Americans really have only once choice--making sure the Democrats win so that the Republicans LOSE. To not repudiate Republicans would mean that Americans are a fundamentally defective people--like Republicans.

I think there is a lack of funding for many print media that makes that level of competence and supervision very tough to meet, including those who know this stress in the company. With consolidated ownership on the world/national level, the public runs the risk of very filtered news that favors elite power/wealth interest. Small papers like the RG are losing audience to those who have a broader medium to work with. Did you watch any of the Bannon interview the other night? There is much I dislike about the guy, but I found myself agreeing about the 'sell out' of both parties to special interest. I think he stated the party design as a Patronage system - and I have to say that is very much my own opinion as well. It's 'pay to play' in most countries and it's no different in the United States.

That's absolutely amazing to me that you would compare a situation in which an alleged victim calls the head football coach to report allegations, wholly unsubstantiated and lacking in verifiable credibility, to advise him of her situation, to what happened at Penn State. Furthermore, the 'victim' requested that the head coach not punish the assistant coach, nor report his activities. McIntyre, against her wishes, immediately reported the allegations, all of which were purported to occur off campus, & none of which implicated Mr. Tumpkin in carrying out these acts in his capacity as a university employee, to the Athletic Director, who then immediately reported this to the chancellor. Clearly, we must have read a different Kizsla solutionless 'whine-fest,' & I'm guessing that you can't point out where, in either report, even the slightest hint of bad faith or impropriety occurred- both report indicated that there was NONE. Substantiated, multiple on-campus child-rapes vs 'she-said'

It's not really a valley, there is slight terrain that does shelter the calving area just barely enough to make a difference. I'm going off memory from the Duhbya attempts to exploit ANWR 12 some years ago. I read about the proposal and sent letters to my representative, I can't remember who. Look at the track record, reckless fracking has ruined ranches in Colorado and everywhere. The Deepwater Horizon debacle and the Exxon Valdez spill indicates a bleak outlook for the caribou and the Gwich'in. The primary issue is ANWR was supposed to be in perpetuity, Trump's rampage through every liberal sacred cow is the issue. Global warming and the essential tact of leaving this huge carbon sink intact is part of the issue whether the LTE writer brings them up or not. Trashing one of the very last pristine and vital areas for gasoline is irresponsible, shortsighted, greedy, and proud.

If the passenger did not cause a threat to the security of other passengers or crews, removing him with EXCESSIVE force that caused bodily harm is outright wrong! You can offer him more compensation; or upgrade him; or rebook him on a later flight; or simply choose another more agreeable passenger. Whatever happened is totally uncalled for. United handled this situation badly and so was the Airport police. By the way, where is the captain during all this?

He may not have given an absolute number but he certainly said on a relative basis (to Obama) that there was an issue and then preceded to analyze the root causes for the smaller crowds incorrectly. There were now magnetometer stations, Obama had the grass protectors, etc. He did give absolute numbers for the number of transit riders which were shown subsequently to be incorrect. The guy will have to quit his job if he wants to have any sort of post-Trump credibility.

Bologna the schedule has been delayed because of frivolous lawsuits by rail opponents. It's also caused the cost of rail to go up. Opponents of rail should blame themselves.

Then how is it, that in the first three centuries of Christianity's existence that the Eucharist was celebrated in Home Liturgies and that more often than not, had a female presbyter. Afterward, the Christians gathered also ate dinner together---prepared often by the presbyter---a woman of the household. It was only after Christianity became accepted and later became THE state religion, that churches were built and the presbyter became priests and all male. This is the early history of the Church, which the hierarchy won't honestly discuss with people [or admit]. If they did, they could not continue to insist that males only can preside at the Mass. Jesus ordained NOBODY. Nowhere is it written that Jesus anointed anyone---never mind just men. No where in the Gospels, does it state that Jesus gave the Twelve the mission to celebrate the Eucharist. Rather they were to preach the Gospels and baptize all nations. [Mk. 16:14-18; Mt. 28:16-21;Lk. 24:36-49;Jn.20:19-23; Acts 1:6-8]

I agree with you. The article mentions other Canadian banks looking to go into/expand to the US for growth, but it doesn't consider what it will cost to achieve growth. The cost to acquire US financial institutions is high and the CAD isn't anywhere near par. The best time to buy US banks has passed. The ideal time would have been when the CAD was strong relative to the USD and American financial institution stock values were beat up by the mortgage meltdown and US recession. Sure Canadian banks could start from scratch and open up their own banks in the US but it would take a long time to achieve any level of scale and the competitive landscape in the USA makes it more difficult to capture market share. I own the stock as well

To be clear Bremmer absolutely despises Russia so he will see conspiracy wherever he looks This was more of a sidebar than a meeting since it took place during dinner but the Globe via Bremmer are making this out to be an "official" dialogue no doubt divulging state secrets. cum grano salis look for updates on entertainment tonight

Affiliation? Actually education is the correct term. That is why Joan's comments can be trusted. She has education and integrity. Sure is nice to have reliable folks around. Kinda like the fella that pointed out that over 90% of the weight you claimed was water. Have you apologized to him yet?
