Literally nothing Kritof failingly attempts to portray Trump as interacting with his CIA leadership would play out in such a way. Such a sophomoric portrayal by Kristoff is tantamount to a grown-up calling another one a "doo-doo head." The ADN has simply given up being objective - they have no journalistic fiduciary duty to give balanced perspective of our Presidential candidates, and what we are all left with is Nicholas Krisof, Shannyn Moore, and Elise Patkotak.

Regardless to how anyone here feels...state legislators can vote all day long to take away merit increase but the fact if the matter is that it is illegal for them to do so....the state has a legally binding contract in which these merit increase are guaranteed ...should the state seek to blatantly violate the terms of the there collective bargaining agreement each Union has the right to sue the state of Alaska for those compensation and more ...and these unions will win these law suits as the state has no ground or right to supersede these legally binding agreements...ultimately they may take the merit increase away for a short while, but the state will end up spending a lot more money in legal fees and man hours plus they will end up retro paying every state employee for these merit increases...they have to know this ....it is not complicated ...so unless they are truly idiotic they will abandon the HB and wait to renagotiate term with each new contract whe they come up...

We can balance the state budget without a destructive state income tax if we get control of the run-away state spending. We need to return to the number of state employees we had 15 years ago (plus 15% for population increase). After all, the state was able to deliver state services 15 years ago without any trouble. To avoid a shock to the system, we should cut 5% of state employees annually for about ten years until we are down to a level we can afford. To balance the budget we should reduce / eliminate the PFD and use 4% of the Permanent Fund balance. We may need to borrow a little bit of money from the Constitutional Budget Reserve (CBR) if oil prices stay under $50 per barrel. If the price of oil goes up we may be able to add a little money to the CBR.

Are you aware that 3/4 of these people killed by police officers WERE white people? If you weren't, I am not surprised, because no one talks about them. And you are making excuses for a murdering racist who murdered people he didn't even know simply because they were 1-white, 2-police officers. Think about what you said Wavemaker.

I agree we need to wipe out the radical Islamists. Problem is, we were helping radical Islamists in an effort to topple Assad. We need first of all to come clean about what is our foreign policy. We need to stop the hypocrisy. We need to stop supporting terrorists in any way shape or form; we need to support govts. that are fighting Islamism; we need to stop sending arms to regimes that support Islsmist terrorism (Saudi Arabia, for example). If we just clean up our act we can get wholly behind the job of wiping out the Islamists. But that will entail certain alliances will have to change (Saudi Arabia, for example).

The rail project needs to be (fiscally) rescued, not killed. American designed Maglev 2000 technology can be used to convert the steel wheels on steel rails system to urban maglev. This can be done while easily keeping project costs within the available funding of $6.8 billion (from federal funds and GET collections through 2027). The legislators and council members are aware of the maglev cost estimate folio even as they approve short-term measures that do not address the project’s long-term fiscal problems. They know what can be done but lack the political “backbone” to address conversion with federal officials. An extension of the surcharge just to complete the 20-mile system will be “throwing good money after bad” and is nothing more than an easy way out for our elected officials, including the mayor and the governor. Leadership is desperately needed but is conspicuously lacking.

"Republicans prefer - exclusion, disrespect and unbridled individuality. Apparently, it helps explain why they come up short politically in Hawaii again and again." Mr Lanier, do you even KNOW any republicans?? I do, LOTS and you didn't describe any that I know. Admittedly we are a frustrated group on these islands because we continue to see total corruption virtually dripping from any and all government offices and the people just continue to vote the same people back in office with promises of more free stuff, cheaper housing, food stamps etc. We are as close to a socialist State as we can get and it's sad.. We have three of the most worthless people in congress that we could possibly find, simple bobble heads that to the Democrat mark without thinking and likely can't find restrooms when they need them. Voters made ONE right choice with Tulsi. You are right, Republicans will likely come up short until HAWAIIANS wake up to the fact that they are little more than slaves.

The only immediate solution I see is to go double tight end set on every down. Have Green and Huerman stay tight to help the tackles. Single set back with only two receives in the pass pattern. If you have a little success there you'll force opposing defenses to cheat their safeties up and that creates one on one for your outside receivers. Pass sparingly and run...run...run..until it hurts. You'll get some 3 and outs early..but if your defense can keep the score close you can wear an opposing defense down and see some openings late in the game. The Little Guy

That Lee is a BS response. The first line of defense for the ignorant is always belittle your opponent, put them on the defensive. But that does not make your argument any stronger. I am quite aware of "what science is" and have been reading both sides of the argument on the AGW theory for a long time. There is a lot of research that counters what you call conclusions. There is also a lot of evidence that shows some of the "science" being presented is forged. There is a lot of reason to be skeptical. Which by the way is different from being a denier.

People have asked him to come clean. That means he needs to say why he believes he has indigenous ancestry. Who told him? When was he told? What exactly did they tell them? He's always been vague about these questions. But they should be easy to answer. Unless he's the source of all the family stories. His claims varied. True. But how was it a narrow range? If I told you my mother's family was from Sudbury and my father's was from Montreal, then a year later I told you my mother's family was from Thunder Bay and my father's was from Kingston, you wouldn't say I had erred in a narrow range because those cities were vaguely in the same areas. Heck, no. You'd say I had a problem knowing where my family came from and that I'd better check with my family to see what the truth was. Boyden writes fiction. That I don't object to.

I was thinking of using Omidiyars sea water cooling project to pump in the sea water, raise its temperature by running it through the hot buildings, and use the ocean thermal energy conversion to help power the solar distillation of the water. But we could all be dead by the time this comes to fruition. Because of the high humidity we should be able to use affordable dehumidifiers that run on clean energy to provide home drinking water at least.

And yet, the only way this man was able to win was to carry groups said to oppose him, to "convert" enough of the "majority" you write of who don't agree, and to change slim margins in entire states from one party to the other. So tenuous and fleeting this "majority", so unclear the notion "minority". I'll suggest, Sid, the matters you characterize as "all Americans agree" have been spoken for by enough Americans as to throw them into doubt, as evidenced by a pariah being elected. Perhaps, a serious wake-up call for the party of history. You constructed a good list for all to look at and refresh where they stand. Even life-long Democrats changed because of the change of their party on these issues in the last few decades. As evidenced by...

Thanks for the lead on the link, J. Two things that leapt out of this National Post piece: 1. Post-Khadr, THREE separate, recent polls suggest Liberals have a fairly strong lead over the Conservatives and even moreso, not surprising, over NDP. Howcum? 2. Nothing to do with Khadr. One of the three (Abacus) "credited the state of the economy for the Liberals’ strong showing, with 68 per cent of respondents saying the economy is growing." Well, of course. Khadr has a teeny, tiny affect on the average household. The economy, though, oh, yeah. That's the big one. Economy A-OK? Liberals and PM are A-OK. No wonder the Conservatives are screaming about the Rolling Stone cover. They are desperate for any perceived weakness, no matter how ridiculous it makes them look.

Why should Jake need to give anyone evidence of some of his relatives' and friends' bigotry? It's his opinion that they are bigoted, and he is re-evaluating his relationship with them. Unless you know Jake personally, and/or know the people to whom he refers, why would it matter to you? Jake is not telling you, or anyone else, not to interact with them. Yes, if I were to accuse a particular person of bigotry, I should have good reasons. If it were a public person, or someone whom you knew or knew about, then I should be willing to give my reasons. But if I mention to someone that I dislike some of my cousins, because I consider them to be bigoted, and don't name the cousins or don't say anything that would identify them, I don't think that it's necessary to explain to others what it is that they do that is bigoted.

Today City Manager Brad Miyake declined to engage Bellevue's independent electrical analyst to validate our better solution (the same one PSE installed to provide reliable power to downtown Bellevue). In his refusal, Mr. Miyake gave several technical explanations of why PSE's solution would serve the community better. However, Mr. Miyake erred on several important points, according to two experts who were employed as transmission and distribution engineers by PSE for more than 20 years each. The City refuses to expend any funds to get the answers we seek. CENSE is now considering raising our own funds to answer these important questions. If our solution is cheaper, produces better reliability, and preserves this beautiful urban boulevard in East Bellevue, it should be validated before destruction of these trees begins. Many thanks to the tribal leaders who helped us understand the importance of saving trees for their environmental and spiritual benefits.

I am glad to see you are benefiting from the child tax benefit but are such expenditures sustainable in a government so deeply in debt. If interest rates rise guess what the government is gong to cut? The last Liberal government in the 1990s faced with international pressure on debt slashed everything. Expect that in the future. Secondly the definition of the middle class varies depending who you talk to. Studies in the US put the middle class between 40,000 to 500,000. The US 1% makes more than 3 times what the Canadian 1% makes. Many of the Canadian 1% are paid by the government like doctors. The money simply isn't there to support this government spending. Also you make more money as you get older. This is the time when people are really saving for retirement. So your prepared to deny people a proper pension?.

Do you disagree with this: “Every survivor of sexual misconduct must be taken seriously. Every student accused of sexual misconduct must know that guilt is not predetermined,” she said. “These are non-negotiable principles.” Do you agree that, if this this is true, it should be the standard used in these kind of criminal cases: Unlike in criminal courts, where guilt must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, colleges were told to judge students based on whether it’s “more likely than not” they committed the offense.

Spin it anyway you wish Wyatt, I stand by what I said. We all will pay just like we do for all your liberal wants and needs. It's why we are going broke. As long as someone else is paying for your free ride choices you're good with that. Buckle up baby, the buck is coming to a stop.

Well Mr. "Earth", these staples as you called them are subsidised by the gubment and are responsible for the high diabetes and gastro intestinal problems experience by many natives. The latter being responsible for 70% of med flights in the region. That is a soft genocide.
