There was a time when even Trump agreed with you: D Trump, June 2015: "I think they should put it in the museum and let it go," Trump said of the Confederate flag during an appearance at his new golf course in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. "Respect whatever it is you have to respect, because it was a point in time, and put it in a museum. But I would take it down. Yes."

We've been waiting to see that "decrease" for six decades. The worthless program known as "TNR" was invented in the UK.

Paul: I actually think it's going to be a very long presidential term for everyone who cares about the future of our nation and the world. IMO, we have a very disturbed man as President and his actions are a legitimate threat to all our welfare. I realize you disagree with this and I respect that disagreement. If you'll pardon the cliche'...."I hope I'm wrong, but fear I"m right" in my assessment of the danger he represents. He, to me, represents the greatest test we've had of our system of checks and balances.......including, in a worst-case scenario, possible implementation of the provisions of the 25th Amendment.

With all due respect, what kind of fiction is John Doyle reading? 13 Reasons Why is nowhere near close to good fiction. Entertaining, yes -- and teenagers love it. But as a script, it's terribly written: the characters have stilted speech (just look at every line the main character's mother says... it's like watching a grade 7 play); not to mention that each episode begins with obvious, uninsightful statements about teenage life (my favourite: "Friends... they're difficult", or "Boys are selfish".) Good fiction? It's closer to Twilight, John Doyle. Let's be realistic, here...

Mousey, my sleep habits, as a writer of over 32 years, and published author is not your concern, nor should you attach a moral judgment to it, unless you don't mind coming across as provincial and extremely innocent. I have not attacked "anyone who does not support Fred" but only those who have only uninformed attacks to offer and little more. I know Fred. He's my friend. And I will defend him. That doesn't mean we're fucking. It means I'm a loyal Irish girl who stands by her tribe. Deal with it. :)

This council is the gang that couldn't shoot straight. They've gone on endlessly with their chatter about joining downtown to the river and have dedicated tens of millions of dollars to that end through a newly created urban renewal district and other sources. Now they complain that the riverfront is too far from downtown (good grief, it's a few blocks). I guess the city manager and his crew don't want to walk any extra distance to get their coffee during their fourteen daily coffee breaks. Meanwhile, they're balking at a construction bill that is about $10M more than they anticipated while not even considering how much the larger second phase is going to cost. With planning like this, do they wonder why many of us want to do away with the entire planning department?

Jeremy Christian is absolutely representative of the extreme left who would forbid the right to speak to anyone other than those they agree with. He toyed with supporting Trump after his true hero, Bernie Sanders lost to his true enemy, Hillary Clinton. He really hated her. He finally said he could not support Trump under any circumstances. Like so many mixed up youth on the fringe of leftist ideology his anger is seen time and time again in the "Resist" movement and ANTIFA which is extremely fascist. The silent majority is aghast at the sickening radicalism, racism and intolerance creeping through college campuses and universities.

Let me tell you calls this article "an attack on decent, tolerant, honest, hardworking and law-abiding Americans by implying the US President and half the US population who support him were responsible for her death." A startling claim. What I read was: "Rizwan Jaka, chair of the ADAMS Centre’s board, said his 19- and nine-year-old daughters – fourth-generation Americans – have been called “terrorists” and told to “go back to their country.” But he said this does not reflect the broader community. “It represents a tiny fringe. Ninety-nine per cent of Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland are loving, peaceful,” he said on the sidelines of a vigil for Ms. Hassanen on Wednesday. “Those few that have hate in their hearts … they exist in all cultures and backgrounds."

The current French president, Emmanuel Macron, wants to be king. His presidency, he has said, will be a “Jupiterian” one, after the Roman king of the gods. He has sought to emulate the grandeur of the great Sun King, Louis XIV, by convening the French parliament at Versailles. He wishes to reduce the size of parliament by a third and to circumvent it by referendum if it won’t approve his proposed reforms. “The French people are not driven by patient curiosity,” he has said, “but by an uncompromising demand. It is a profound transformation that they expect.” So far, it seems, the French are untroubled by the royal tendencies of their just-elected leader.

Please specify what this $1.5B of services consist of.

#1. The US didn't impose a slave sales tax on the southern states..they imposed it on the NORTHERN states where slavery was still LEGAL! Google to see which states. Slavery was STILL LEGAL in DC, but sales had been banned. (None of the slaves in Union states were freed until AFTER 1865, as the Emancipation Proc. ONLY "freed" the slaves in ANOTHER country..the CSA.) #2. The federal govt. was founded by the states, not the other way around. If states want/wanted to leave the Union, they are/were free to do so. It was LINCOLN who violated the Constitution by refusing to accept their secession, which is strange given his 1848 speech to Congress lauding the secession of Texas from Mexico! (google that as well!) The southern states had already seceded, set up their own government and had their own Constitution. I'd say that was a separate country, as we were, when we did the same with the British in the 1700s. Or do we still belong to England?

You know I almost always support your view Science, but comparing the modern woman's choices to those of slaves is a bit over the top. The women's movement served the nation well in bringing recognition to women who chose a professional direction with or without children. Women also have the option to be full time parent, (really challenging complex work, with high personal rewards), with a man who is good with having a work career.* Just saying women have good choices, and slaves had none. *These are meant as functional roles, not gender, it would be the same for any two people in a couple that has children. Employers are already finding women often have strong leadership skills. As that base grows, so will women sitting in executive offices.

Elaine, tell me if you agree with me? NCR always seems to write its editorials for a very small audience: Very liberal people who have left the Church or who are at extreme odds with the Church and Her authentic teachings. We should all acknowledge something NCR refuses to accept: the Universal Church is now growing by leaps and bounds in the southern and eastern hemispheres of our globe, and these areas are even more conservative on moral and theological issues (albeit liberal on economic matters) than most Western religious conservatives. Which Western, mainstream conservatives have called for the imprisonment of gays? None that I know of.

We can't even know if there was a Jesus of Nazareth. But if you subtract all the stuff that is similar to Pagan imagery, such as virgin birth, human sacrifice, anointing, resurrection, drinking blood, bridegroom, etc., then you are left with Jesus' message of love, forgiveness, repentance, and presumably his mistaken belief the world was about to end. Probably most would agree Jesus was some sort of itinerant preacher and healer. I don't agree with the book 'Zealot' which has Jesus as an ordinary rebel in the civil strife of the times, with oppressed Jews fighting against Romans and their wealthy Jewish collaborators. Jesus seems more special than that. But it is important to know something of the mythology and the politics of the times to understand what may be factual in the New Testament. Jesus' message of a loving 'Abba' does not seem to be compatible with passages that make Jesus into a human sacrifice. And Vaticanism is not going to tell us much about Jesus with any accuracy.
