Of course they approve, they are the puppet masters, The Guptas are puppets, they are there to distract us, while they stealing a few billion there are others stealing trillions. Remember Project hammer? Bet few do, 100 trillion dollars stolen from SA by Oppenheimer, Rothschild, Wiese, CIA etc and now sitting in accounts at Citibank. Do you really think they stopped their ways when the cANCer took over? The investigations into Project Hammer meant they had to become quieter, the Guptas and Zuma are nothing more than fall guys intended to keep the media's attention so the real thievery can continue.
If the reporters really start digging deeper they will find the connection between Zuma, Guptha, Ramaphosa, Motsepe, Rothschild, Oppenheimer, Wiese, Rolf van Rooyen, Citibank and all the other players in Project Hammer. The only difference is then it was De Klerk now its Zuma. | 0 | not toxic |

argyle5663 - it's not a game of chicken though and the "blink" may include nuclear war. Pretty hard on the south Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, and the many innocent North Koreans just trying to get along. NOt to mention the rest of us as nuclear dust doesn't stay put.

Be truthful - they all, regardless of party, do it. Some more blatantly than others. Flat rate per diems are the norm and usually do not require itemizing unless costs exceed the rate.

The cartoon header of this editorial sums up the problem and I doubt that the writers ever thought about it. In the cartoon, everybody is angry, depressed or discouraged. This is the real issue, weapons are a symptom. Yes too many people are being killed no doubt about it. Remove firearms and our violent death rate will go down, but only by a few percentage points. With the attitude of people here in the US, something else has to happen. Despite what we might like to think, we are a downtrodden society compared to our parents, earnings are smaller, nobody sees a future other than dystopian, life is not “good.” When we address these issues, we could have all the firearms we want, and there would be less violent deaths. Let us not attack the symptom, let us attack the disease and cause. | 0 | not toxic |

Now this IS something new: Cal Thomas devoting almost half his column to extensively quoting Germaine Greer.
I especially like this passage, Cal: ""We are prepared to believe lies if they affirm our deepest desire to feel good, if not about ourselves, then about a goddess statue that can be as devoid of spiritual power as the false gods created by pagan peoples." It reminded me of somebody, a current celebrity, though famous for not for his beauty but for being a plainspoken, no-bullshit, populist champion for the common man. You think Diana ran a great con?

Monetary policies have driven most of the economic recovery up to the election, e.g. federal reserve making low interest rates, QE, etc. The surprising surge in the stock market since Trump was elected is primarily based on his pro-economic agenda. IOW, fiscal policies coming from the White House is viewed as a significant driver to improve our economy. Of course the challenge is to have Congress reach a compromise to pass these bills.

"NOT ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND DEMANDING ANSWERS?"
I'm not certain exactly what leverage you think a federal manager has. We've just seen this week, U.S. Senators, with cameras on them, presumptively with the power to ultimately refer folks for criminal prosecution, unable to get any answers out of the Attorney General, who seems to be suffering from an acute case of amnesia.
Like most of gov't, there's probably a dozen or more people who all have a say on matters and whose approval must be won but not one of which is personally given the authority and power to see that "Project X" is done. (Indeed, doing so would only raise the risk of fraud and mismanagement.) Bottom Line: the VA had no business taking on a construction project this size/complexity; Congress resolved by taking this power away.
There's plenty of blame to assign here but the idea that one guy can pound the table and impose his will on the entire VA is not only absurd but an assertion of great comic relief! | 0 | not toxic |

We "know" in our hearts when supposed "Evangelicals" promote the prosperity gospel; when hierarchs rationalize the exclusion and diminution of women; when Trump opens his mouth; when "phobes", decry mercy, acceptance and inclusion of those outside the norm". We know and they know for the simple reason that we are not totally stupid, but more importantly, because we are all sinners. All of us have that inborn propensity to the "not good", to the lesser good than the higher. Otherwise we would not have free will. That is the "felix culpa" that is otherwise known as original sin.
Let us stop pretending that "legality" excuses the immoral, uncivil; that "political" excuses abuse of civility, truth, justice or the common good; that "religion" excuses abuse of truth, justice, reason, or Jesus.

You are so wrong. What you didn't learn about Alaskan Natives is that many of our ancestors DIED because of the invasion of western civilization. This is what the government didn't want to teach you in schools.

I suppose you think that's witty, or profound. or sensible ... but it's petty and comes out of a radically impoverished understanding of the church. It seems to have the intention of ending a conversation, and in reality, it usually does.

It is absolutely essential that we eliminate from the legislature the oil industry senators and house members. Kevin Meyer and Peter Micciche are Conoco employees first. Their loyalty is to Conoco, not the State of Alaska. Getting rid of Gattis was essential as too is Coghill.
The republican majority has tilted the system so far in favor of the oil industry that the only way to reverse the trend is to vote as many of them out of office as we can. That means putting the Democrats in charge. There is no other alternative. Besides, it is theoretically impossible for the Democrats to do any worse than these republicans, many of whom are proud members of the Corrupt Bastards club who somehow managed to survived the carnage of the FBI crackdown a decade ago.

NYI, man, 8-14 in reg, godawful, most would say. But, only 1 game worse than LA's 9-13, and nobody's saying the Kings are terrible.
'Cept LA is 6-1 in the fake hockey 3-on-3, 0-2 in SO. They're winning in extra time, which is all luck, many think.
Astute observers of the game, which excludes most posters here, will recall that 2 seasons ago, LA missed the playoffs despite having the 6th-best record in reg 37-27, as they went 3-15 in extra time. 3-on-3 and the SO should keep worthy teams out of the post-season? Don't think so. The game is great the way it is, throw the gimmicks out.
So, those who tell you how exciting 3-on-3 is, just laugh in their faces. Fact is, 3-on-3, it's ain't hockey, it's sizzle, sideshow. Yes, it's better than the plague called the SO, but that's hardly an endorsement. | 0 | not toxic |

Where are the families? My mother-in-law was in a nursing home for the last several years of her life. She did not receive Medicaid. It cost $5,000 a month and exhausted my in law's savings. How many families can afford to pay $5,000 a month for nursing home care?
As for it being a "personal choice" to have a low income job without health care benefits, not everyone has the education, training, capabilities, or skills to find better paying work. And sometimes the jobs are not available, even for those who qualify.
So you don't think you should pay for medicaid benefits? We all pay the cost of the uninsured who show up for care in emergency rooms because ER's can't turn anyone away. The costs are passed on to the rest of us.
