Thanks for the school lesson but you are the very one who has criticized Obama to no end and now you can't take cracks coming back at you. Obama is a son of Hawaii. Show some Aloha pride in a native son. Or maybe you are from the mainland and have no such pride. If that is the case please go back where you came from because Obama is one of our own.

Nice job Anita. This is really sad. I support rail. We need it for the West side and Central Oahu. But the anti-rail folks have created self-fulfilling prophecies with lawsuits that cost money, delay construction and incrementally drive up costs. It's clear that selling the idea of even more taxes to support rail will not fly, even though it is fueling a robust construction industry thereby creating jobs. And...this is infrastucture not rampant low-density, unsustainable residential development. So good news for union jobs and for our economy. In addition I also believe that once the system is built out (way behind my time) people will love it as they do in every major city that has mass transit.... In the short term - sad.

"The Trump administration has not always been careful making rules — the first immigration executive order was a classic of the genre — in ways that have undermined its goals." More fake news! Barry chose the list of countries who cannot properly vet applicants for Visas, Trump just acted on it. Secondly, if any president BUT Trump had issued the exact same order, word for word, it should never have been questioned by anyone. This was a perfect example of Democrat corruption and sleaze, tainting the judiciary. I mean, the justices had to rely on the emanations from Trump's election campaign rhetoric to justify overstepping the boundaries laid out in a very, very clear 1972 SCOTUS case that said as long as the order deals with national security the lower courts give deference to it! They had to rely on campaign rhetoric and the unconstitutional idea that non-citizens resident outside the USA have any rights in our courts at all to provide a fig leaf for their naked hatred of Trump.

I don't expect you to ever understand the difference between the Russian and American oligarchies, we all have our limitations. In Russia, the visible governing state and deep state is one and the same. What you see is what you get. In the US you have alternating puppets with the same sets of hands behind the scenes (CFR, Health Insurance lobby, Defense lobby, Israel lobby, etc.) manipulating the strings and scripting the teleprompters. The illusion of democratic choice where in all matters of significance there is none. The absurd paradox is you actually think that the US government is more "democratic", "transparent", etc. when the puppet handlers are hidden from view and any public scrutiny. The hypothetical American "free press" with their investigative skills has been absent for decades, and totally relies on deep state for leaks. Stay in your bubble, I'm sure it is comfy there.

Laws are made in this case to protect the pets/humans. on the other hand these owners don't want to take responsibly for their actions. They blame someone else for their action. Also they want government to take care of it for them. If a pet owner has his or hers property damaged, they have every right to to sue in civil court. But that takes effort, time, and money.

'and that it's offensive to God if they deliberately choose to ignore him!' This is precisely the kind of theology that makes younger generations leave. What kind of tin pot God is 'offended' by a particular individual's missing Sunday Mass?

Wow! Amazing how this just slid through the city council without much fanfare or hoopla. I guess this is what the mayor is touting as TOD. For the people of Hawaii? I note that the council really went out of it's way to add a whopping 10 "affordable" units, which won't even be in the tower, rather on the side of the parking lot, probably next to the a/c units, or something. I'm a little surprised to see Sylvia Luke supporting this, but not out of character for Espero, the rail hero. Expect this to be the future norm. High end development, not for locals, using the "TOD" area development rules to go bigger and denser and making money for those out of state. Well, mostly, the politicians that support these projects all get nice contributions towards their re-election and union support because they are creating temporary "jobs." Hideous.

There is no general lack of wind anywhere at all. There is simply less *reliable* wind inland than on the coast. So it doesn't make sense to build them there...yet, once the coastal locations are all used up, it will make sense. But, as in any industry, pick the low-hanging fruit first. True windless nights remain an exceedingly rare event even with just coastal sources anyway. To have one you need a scenario where the warm Indian ocean AND the cold Atlantic Ocean BOTH have heat equilibriums with the nearby land... AT THE SAME TIME. There are very few scenarios where such heat equilibriums happen at all (which is why sea-wind is so reliable) - but to have two such differently temperatured oceans achieve them at once ? That's like throwing a tennis ball over your roof and having your friend throw one from the other side and try to hit your ball halfway across. Sure, it can happen - but only once in every few hundred throws. Hence one or two nights a year.

If we were living in a Disney Movie of a certain era - these two characters would morph/switch. Her character would now reside in Trump's body/life and visa versa. But - I really wouldn't wish him upon the citizens of San Juan. Need a slight script/formula adaptation. One that morphs her into Trump's body - and simultaneously lets her still maintain her own body. New version with a quasi cloning theme. Now what would happen with the original Trump spirit/character? Perhaps he would re-emerge as a humanitarian aid worker. Who wouldn't do any work (cause, dirt, sweat, you name it) and got fired. Or at least that was the daydream I indulged in after again watching her video message, and then reading her response to Trump's attack. She is a leader. He is an elected, bloviating, blistered moran who should slink away quietly, but never will.

Mike Pence is a nice guy and will hardly generate a headline. Russia is not our enemy. They are not Communist and they are not the Soviet Union any more. You people sure do like living in the past, like 40 years ago. This is 2017, not 1977. Some of the posts here remind me of columnists during the Cold War. Since then the Berlin Wall came down, Germany reunited, Poland and all eastern Europe gained independence, the Soviet Union collapsed, glasnost (look it up)happened and democracy came to Russia. The Ukraine/ Russia dispute is none of anyone's business as Crimea was stolen from Russia by a Communist dictator in 1953 and given to Ukraine. Both Russia and Ukraine were part of the Soviet Socialist Union back then. Crimea was part of Russia, not Ukraine since the 18th century.

Mr. Hayes, the purpose of the initiatives currently being targeted by the Commission's proposed ordinance is NOT to "engag[e] in litigation on a matter that is not of county concern." Rather, the purpose of these initiatives to authorize the people of Lane County to recognize and enforce rights to health, safety, and welfare, and curtail the corresponding corporate activities that violate the protected rights. Both the aerial herbicide and GMO bans are designed to protect the people and environment of Lane from environmental contamination by corporate farming and forest activities. The Self-Government Charter Amendment is designed to recognize the people's inherent and unalienable right to decide issues in their communities for themselves. The system of law - through manufactured legal doctrines like state preemption - is designed to protect corporate interests from the people. These initiatives seek to correct a biased system that protects profits over people and planet.

While PPV has impacted home attendance, significant decline was a result of the Chow losing seasons. Getting the fans back to Aloha Stadium won't be easy even with the turn-around to winning ways last season. There needs to be improvement at Aloha Stadium. Problems are limited parking for general pubic and decline in quality and quantity of food concessions (Aloha Stadium take too big a cut from concessionaires). Going to Aloha Stadium has to be a fun experience and that includes parking, food and friendly environment. Fights and unruly fans in the stands because of too much beer does not help. So it's not all about PPV. It's about the total experience at Aloha Stadium.

TJYOM, unfortunately your post proves your lack of knowledge about fiscal and monetary economics policies. Perhaps you simply misunderstood Keynesian economics or perhaps you are just parroting what you've heard on Fox. Carter's administration paid the price of high interest rates because we failed during the Nixon years to actually pay for our war in Vietnam. Bush the Elder's administration paid the price for the failed economic theory "trickle down economics" aka Reagonomics. Obama's administration did at least get the country recovering from the failed Bush policies of trickle down economics plus unpaid for wars in the Middle East. That extra 10 trillion in debt built after Bush left office, belongs to failed Bushonomics and an unfettered GOP Congress. Every single thing in the Trump budget is aimed at just one thing, tax cuts for the top 1 percent. You Trumpkins are about to reap what you have sown.

Why is it many tenants and the socialist politicians who pander to them, have the notion that landlords are some kind of social resource? Does a landlord owe more to society than all other citizens owe? Housing gets expensive . . . their solution? Preclude landlords from charging market rents. Stupid because it acts as a disincentive to building more rental units. If there are problems with housing & incomes and some people need supports, why should landlords provide that support, instead of society in general? Why should rental legislation create a two-tier rental system, where people who have stayed for years are paying rents vastly under-market, while anyone new moving into a suite is competing with all other tenants and has to pay market rents? Why should a landlord be called upon to subsidise some tenants and not others? The landlord has no duty to subsidise any tenant, for any reason. If subsidy is due, all society should pay it.
