Others have posted that Holt is a Republican, and you have ethical proof that Hillary received the questions before the debate? I can see your Pinocchio nose growing from here. Benghazi is now a dead issue. Hillary kick the Republican-led congressional panel to the curb during her 11-hour politically charged inquisition. The FBI director has thrown down his gantlet and said no "legal" wrongdoing. Get over it, Davis. I suppose Holt has caused tRump to derail his campaign the day after the debate and go after the Hispanic former beauty queen? Hahahaha | 0 | not toxic |
If we are to supplant the black market with a legal, taxable and quality controlled system, Alaska needs to get it's head out of it's ass. The roll-out over the past 2 years has been an embarrassment. Supply and demand, in this market, is a foreign concept for our state. I'm somewhat amazed at Don Young's recent actions on this issue, and I think that that may be foretelling that this issue will work itself out. | 0 | not toxic |

One thing I see left out of this conversation is the domestic violence changes. I dealt with a domestic violence restraining order both times I divorced my same wife (I remarried her). She claimed I was going to go to Kodiak Island from Anchorage Alaska though over 200 miles of water to get my rifles in her house to kill her. At the time I was at the VA dommicillar without clothing or any where to go and no money to get home. Kodiak police confiscated my rifles from my wife that belonged to me. They never gave me a receipt or notice. Told me because I had a domestic violence restraining order put out on me I could not own a gun without getting permission from the office of the prosecutor in Alaska. It's been reported that he was waiting for a court date for a domestic violence order. In Alaska domestic violence order in front of a judge is graduated nearly every time. How was he carrying a gun? A screw up in the sex violence. Could have killed the woman instead and become another stat | 0 | not toxic |
Get rid of the violent bums downtown and on both the Eugene and Springfield river banks and the bike paths and get back to me.
Until then, the only 'hard question(s)' they should ask the city is:

"When can we expect the stabbings and killings to be stopped?"
"What are you doing to make those things happen?

Math, Let's try it...
70 million (for only the road) divided by 374 (2010 census figure) = $187,166 per person.
THEN we build a school, new houses and whatnot for a total of somewhere near $500,000 each...
ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON.
Math again... If dividend checks were to remain at $1,000 each person would be getting...
FIVE HUNDRED DIVIDEND CHECKS.

The intelligence community has stated categorically in every hearing that Russia hacked the Democratic Party's computers AND that they interfered with the election with a planned and widespread disinformation campaign. Comey testified to that as well. Good god, even the sane republicans know that. That's why you hear Graham and McCain wanting harsh sanctions against Russia now. It is not alleged. It is fact. The story is correct -- it's other gullible people who are being swayed by actual fake news (ie.

If data on water consumption is unavailable or unclear, even within the city, how can they declare, as they've been doing, households and watering gardens are to blame for high consumption and dropping dam levels? Household use was the main target of water restrictions, NOT bulk users like industries incl tourism, business and government. But these users, and reportedly old age homes and housing estates to water their gardens, got exemptions despite the seriousness of the situation evident in January already.
Then and later I asked the director of water & sanitation, Xanthea Limberg, JP Smith and Patricia de Lille this and other questions. No answer. I suspected but these articles confirms my fears the city has manipulated and not revealed all the data (worse, they don't know) to hide their mismanagement of the crisis, eg they misjudged it hoping for early rain, and/or it's worse than we think. And THEY accused residents of 'politicising' the crisis, residents who'll bear the brunt. | 0 | not toxic |

Longtime political commenter Mr. Jenkins is aghast (aghast, I tell you!) at the behavior captured on Mr. O'keefe's video. He can't site any similar incidents in the last 50 years or so, which makes the current situation so much more remarkable.
You'd never know it by reading his op ed pieces, but Mr. Jenkins is practical, knowledgable and experienced. He knows that many big candidate rallies have someone supported by the opposition shouting "Trump is a racist" or "Clinton is a rapist." He knows there are T-shirts outside the crowd and inside the venue with similar messages. He knows that Mr. O'Keefe's modus operandi involves selectively editing video in order to artificially increase the appearance of malfeasance, and that he's paid the price in court for excessive editorial license.
He also knows that responding to taunts and T-shirts with violence is never appropriate.

We do have valid reasons for owning guns. It's called our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say we need a "valid" reason to own a firearm. It also doesn't require a valid reason to protest, practice free speech or vote. People like you are scary. You think it's our governments right to dictate who can have a firearm, well, it is not.

There are some pretty simple solutions to what people call harassment. If your kid isn't bathing at home kids will tease them. If they do or say stupid things kids may tease them. People in general tend to group up by common threads. Occupational therapy exists for a reason. Find your kid some outcasts that are similar to them so they have healthy relationships and outlets for being frustrated. But stop finger pointing blame at your kids bullies. there comes a time in your life where you have to learn to stand up for yourself without swinging chairs or desks or acting like a crazy person. You're supposed to do something about the problem B4 you get "fed up" talk to your kids. Hell take a day off work and attend their classes.

W Abbott,
OK, let me put it another way. Moses had been reduced from being a prince in Egypt to a mere shepherd and he probably expected only to be a shepherd for the rest of his life. He was at his lowest point and that was exactly when God was most able to begin using him because he would not be depending on his own power, but on God. That has been my experience, too. God took me from my spiritual lowest point, raised me up and gave me a mission to work for Him in His power. Seeing the results God delivers leaves me praising Him for His wonderful works. Each confirmation is like finding an unexpected bonus in my paycheck and gives me more reason to want to love and obey Him and continue doing whatever He wants me doing.
I pray that you will let God show you the mission purpose He wants you doing in His power so you can have your own experience with the Holy Spirit. It will be a spiritual experience vastly exceeding anything you have yet known. | 0 | not toxic |

I suspect Beyak is correct that there were decent and caring people involved in the residential school program, and probably there were students who did benefit from it.
And one might be able to find examples of Nazis who were not malevolent, and dog and cat meat would provide a means of nutrition as well as correct the problem with strays....
But the overall narrative of the residential school program was its intent of cultural assimilation and there were far too many instances of neglect and malevolent abuse.
Beyak may be technically correct, but is blatantly politically naive. | 0 | not toxic |

Horizon had a lot of trouble maintaining operations during the previous cold snap in January last year when Fairbanks hit -40F. (Delta also had issues.)

Another part is perhaps the Q400s are difficult to keep flying in those conditions using only a separate small maintenance facility (the remote part, as in remote from Horizon main ops) designed for only two or three aircraft servicing Alaska, as opposed to the 737 fleets. | 0 | not toxic |

Your relentless rants against the MSM may make you feel oh so good, but they have no relation to the facts.
According to Editor and Publisher: "At least one-third of the top newspapers in this country (the U.S.) came out against President Bush taking us to war at that time. Many of the papers may have fumbled the WMD coverage, and only timidly raised questions about the need for war, but when push came to shove ... they wanted to wait longer to move against Saddam, or not move at all." A third of the papers in U.S. backed the invasion, and the other third did not take a stance.
As to your reference about the recent U.S. election: Almost all polls showed Hillary leading throughout the campaign. The MSM reported what those polls said. And, in the end, Hillary led Trump by 3,000,000 votes.

Thank you, HM, for what may well have been an unintended consequence of exposing the essence of this forum's inveterate moralist. Much like a young boy who mimics the batting stance and swing of his favorite ballplayer, our rural rube fancies himself a latter-day Mencken, betrayed by his aping of the satirist's style, his cadences, even his absent-minded sprinkling of "indeed" and phrases like "ipso facto." And Mencken, as everyone knows, was fascinated by Nietzsche. Yes, it all makes sense now. Just as that young boy's dream never escaped the sandlot, our Mencken worshipper's limits are circumscribed by carefully cataloged op-ed filler masquerading as reason and pith.
A side note: Check out "Men versus the Man: A Correspondence between Robert Rives La Monte, Socialist, and H.L. Mencken, Individualist [1910]," available online, and pages 116-117 for Mencken's views on the American negro [his words] and European immigrants.

Your analysis is posited on the assumption that the NK leadership is "quite rational." I differ on that assessment as 3 generations of despots have viewed themselves as divine under the political-religious philosophy known as Juche. Perceiving him to be God-like and having divine prerogative, it is doubtful that Kim Jong Un sees himself or his country as vulnerable to any threats posed by the USA. Therefore their development of nuclear capability is not seen as a deterrent as you suppose but rather their god-given right and anyone who opposes that idea of course faces "god's wrath." | 0 | not toxic |
We used to produce and sell everything here in Canada, and while 'free trade' has been good for us generally, it has quite obviously also created vulnerabilities, as we now find out with one monolithic and dysfunctional trading partner.

Most importantly, we're missing out on secondary processing of lumber, beef, petrochemicals that would create and keep jobs in Canada. I think 'free trade' is still the way to go, but we have to be much more intelligent in how we manage it. | 0 | not toxic |

Wind power does work, but it's very site-dependent. The power in wind is also a cube of the wind speed... and wind speed increases the higher you go. This is why turbines that work are tall (120'+ to get away from ground turbulence), and are sited in spots that have *constant* wind... ideally 7mph or more. I'm sure no one wanted 120' towers at this site, but that's really the way to get wind power... but even then, this site doesn't always have wind. Along Ediz Hook would be a better location (as long as turbines didn't interfere with approach to airport out there)
An option for this park site given its occasional wind could have been solar PV panels; 3kW of PV panels (about 12 panels) might have cost $15k and would be generating electricity already, because all commercial PV components are UL listed. The ROI on PV these days is maybe 10 years with minimal tax / production incentives, (5 to 7 years with incentives) and the maintenance is minimal... no moving parts! | 0 | not toxic |

Every single one of those pictured looks able bodied. We have to help these individuals help themselves by teaching them to become self-sufficient. Providing valuable resources to individuals who have no interest in working or complying with societal rules is irresponsible. GIVE THE RESOURCES TO THOSE IN THE SHELTERS - you know the homeless not on drugs, willing to comply with rules and curfew and trying to find a job. Doing so will facilitate interest in those living on the streets to kick the habit and go a shelter. Also, it may discourage mainland homeless from relocating here if homeless benefits are tied to shelter participation. | 0 | not toxic |
This is a lie. Stop lying. RIO tinto walked away after the former globalist EPA block that violatef US law... but ensured years of delay. Rio had to free the capital given the then certainty of years in courts.
So the truth is quite different than you claim. Globalists and the former EPA broke the law, used promised of years of court delay tactics to scare partners... and then cla after the fact that the project is not economically viable... despite a conservative $10 Billion NPV assumping zero copper gols molybdenum price inflation over 80 years.
You all are SAD. Your lies are so clear. | 1 | toxic |
Political correctness run totally off the rails. The woman's choice was in poor taste, or at best thoughtless. If she's bright enough to teach law, she should be bright enough to know the morons and dweebs around her were going to raise a ruckus. But, whatever. Freedom of thought depends on freedom of expression. We censor her Halloween costume (Like, man, seriously?) and what's next? George Orwell must be so very proud. | 1 | toxic |
The article says that the man went to court and won. It's borderline slander to imply criminality to a person that was vindicated by the legal system. | 0 | not toxic |

This is a demoralization of an entire generation of young people who put the sexual temptations of others different from their own above the goal of Eternal Life in Heaven. Homosexuality is categorized by the Catechism of Adultery. It is not their fault but the fault of the human-centered liturgical revolution of the 2nd Vatican council among other demoralization tactics. Look into cultural Marxism of the Franfurt School which has successfully divided people along racial lines where no division existed before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIO4oSLwK3A | 0 | not toxic |
Looking less than average against second and third teamers sure as heck won't win you a job. Ask your boy Paxton. He'll tell you. Getting outplayed by a 7th round pick and an undrafted free agent....wow...that has to hurt the ole ego.
