The British press covered the white supremacists march much more thoroughly than any 'western' paper with more photos and more details. Those details are being shared today so companies who have hired those thugs, can fire them as they do not represent what any company wants in an employee.

Jeff Sessions lacks credibility. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-rules-charlottlesville-alt-right-rally-can-go-on/ Antisocial personality disorder is running riot in The Patriot Movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_movement Civil society in America depends on The FBI and The Justice Department doing it's job and upholding the Constitution and the law. Are they? Republicans appears to be staging to cross The Rubicon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Rubicon

Yeah, typical response from a religious warmer I must say. Mass extinctions? Data please. Extreme doughts/floods? Data please. Extreme waves/freezes? Data please. Each question mark references a prediction that is not based on climate models. There is no scientific consensus on those issues.

Really? The only effect of climate change from your point of view is to turn a 94 degree day into a 96 degree day? With an outlook like that you should stay in your conservative safe zone where climate change has only "warmed the planet a bit." The rest of humanity (on your behalf) will try to deal with ocean acidification, mass extinctions, melting permafrost, rising seal levels, extreme droughts/floods, extreme heat waves/freezes, and all the environmental refugees fleeing these disasters.

I'm sure the Black Panthers were very proud of the violence they partook in, and BLM too, but how "proud" someone is is IRRELEVANT. We're talking about ACTIONS here. Not from a century ago, but in recent years. Of course KKK violence should be resisted by reasonable people. As should BLM violence, and Antifa violence. To suggest one's violence is bad but the others' is OK is highly hypocritical.

The KKK is VERY PROUD of their history and continue to subscribe to it. Has there every been an apology from a Grand Dragon for a lynching? Hardly. Their historic pride is what makes it relevant. If they were so "modern" why would they care about a stature of R E Lee? Your last sentence proves my point. KKK has been a threat, a proven national hate and terrorist group for decades, a century and more. They are to be resisted. Any downplay of the their underlying motives and agenda are to be continually re-exposed.

Traffic will be a mess regardless. It would be nice to have a system to get into town that ia not tied to the automobile. Only way I went into Chicago was by train. No way would I fight that traffic.

Melissa Rota, business owner in Kakaako, very stylish of you to want rail completed. After all, rail will improve YOUR business no matter if it does not relieve traffic.

[There is no moral equivalency here] I do not make any statement in regards to moral equivalency there are some words that should be presented for legal equivalency/wrongs. The cops were late in defending a lawful parade by the alt-right on Saturday. The alt-right march through the University was a clear provocation the night before. Finally, if it was a lawful protest (and the court's indicate it was) and the cops were not acting appropriately (their tardiness is well noted) even white supremacists are entitled to defend themselves from violence even if they provoked it. Personally I'm inclined to lay more responsibility on the alt-right protesters as the optics show they acted with malicious intent to provoke a fight with counter-protesters and the counter-protesters obliged. But, until more facts come to light (who threw the first punch) it is too early to conclude so at this point it isn't wrong to lay blame on all sides including Charlotteville's police department.

Excuse me? There is no moral equivalency here, Richard. When you make one all you are doing is supporting Nazism, full stop. "Both sides" are not wrong when one side consists of swastika wearing, "Heil Trump" shouting, goose stepping honest to god actual Nazis. Why is it so hard for you guys to condemn this? Republicans used to be against fascism and Nazism, but in the age of Trump I guess they're somehow considered an acceptable faction of the conservative movement. How are you not ashamed of this? Stop misusing the term "free speech." No one was arrested for saying or printing anything, therefore there was no infringement of free speech. Free speech means the government cannot impose jail time, fines or other legal penalties for engaging in protected expression. It does not mean that everyone else has to listen to your BS or treat your ideas as legitimate and deserving of equal consideration with all others.

If they were marching with the old Soviet hammer-and-sickle flag and pictures of Stalin and Che, then you would have an argument to label the activists you mentioned as "extreme left". (Although I'm guessing you meant groups like Black Lives Matter when referring to "radical racial groups" and you will need to explain to me what you consider a radical feminist.) "Left" or "progressive" will suffice. They're not like the anarchists that sometimes show up at marches and do property damage.

The extreme "left" has been mobilizing for decades, via our educational institutions, radical feminists, radical racial groups, indigenous activism, environmental activists, and so on. So, hey, it's just not acceptable that "fascists", or those on the right, get to tear the whole thing down too - stop it!

Trump does his best presidential imitation when he reads off a note card in his hand that one of his handlers wrote.

None of the statements from the "white House" are from Trump. They are from his handlers, themselves tried and true White Supremacists, i.e., Bannon, etc. Time for a Revolution.

They should have been angry, since like the "services" they were paying for, I was a complete scam. Of course, mny jobs fall into this category. Many people that sit around on their behinds all day either in front of a computer or in a police car aren't really "doing" anything. I know I didn't. I certainly talked a lot, which seemed to be the only requirement for the position. Recently I met a young man that poured cement and worked it in the hot sun all day. He was actually creating something that someone would use for a practical purpose. He didn't hide behind his uniform or suit to justify his daily bread. He wasn't a thug, or a thief meeting with his buddies after work at the local Hooters to see the big game. I admire him. People on public dole, public or private deserve our contempt. As you hinted at, their is no difference between the government sponge and the one sitting in an office for a company. They the same liars and cheats

Are you saying you were/are "a parasite", like the government employees you lumped into a single category in another thread? I wonder how the excessively charged policy holders of that insurance company felt about paying your salary?

The inquiry is supposed to look for causes and suggest solutions. It is NOT supposed to be a big expensive therapy session.

What I'm about to write will upset you if you think this situation is simple and can be resolved easily. Traumatized and victimized people (I'm writing this because I'm a retired psychotherapist who has worked with many such individuals) need to be deeply heard and understood, and must dictate the terms of engagement, if they are to feel safe and understood. Otherwise, they feel undermined, hurt, angry and dismissed. This is extremely sensitive territory, and applies to all human beings who have been through a kind of hell, even if from a non-victim's perspective, it seems unreasonable. The only effective apporach is to listen, empathically, hear what they have to say, try to understand everything from their point of view. You don't have to agree with everything that's said, but you do have to go along with it, if healing and resolution is to occur. Truth and reconciliation is painful, slow and costly, but effective.

My mistake. I meant to say Hodgkinson. I believe both men are imbalanced but that they were both part of a side. Unfortunately, the shooting of Scalise and the others took place at a congressional softball game. Look, the Klan, neo-Nazis and white supremacists of all stripes are evil. But I'm not going to stand by and let the unbridled partisanship that is the hallmark of this blogging community blame the events in Charlottesville on Trump while they ignore the violence on the left. There have been violent demonstrations, the suppression of free speech and death threats from the left since Trump has been elected. Sin and evil are not the sole province of the Right or Conservatives or the GOP.

I never said that Fields wasn't acting as part of a side. I said that about Hodgkinson, which doesn't mean he didn't connect his lunatic act with support of Sanders in his own mind. It just means there was no rational reason to do so. I make no assumptions about Fields and his motivations. Hopefully, that will all soon come to light. But I do know that an act like his is much more likely to happen in a tense environment like Charlottesville than in a Congressional softball game.

When Muslim extremists killed people in San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, Florida, I don't ever recall Obama mentioning that the perpetrators were Muslim extremists. Nor did the mainstream media attack him for hours on end for not saying "Muslim extremist," as it is doing to Trump. I guess you've conveniently forgotten this, and the hypocrisy which goes along with it.

I agree: Ignoring the Nazis, the KKK, the white supremacists is not a morally acceptable option. Thank you for the quote: the insight is important.

"discover a dead cockroach in with the water" Ask any petroleum engineer or fracker; "dilution is the solution to pollution". They scoff if something spills on the ground or spews into the air and atmosphere.

Well it could be worse. Try making 25 cents an hour while using a hoe in a field all day long to weed, while drinking from a water barrel in North Carolina summer heat and at the end of the day emptying out the barrel to discover a dead cockroach in with the water you had drank all day (water that had been supplied by the farmer employer). And you guys complain about sitting on your butts making big bucks...lol.

Yeah I don't believe her.

This case disgusts me. There are other women who would have slugged the guy (think Sharon Osbourne, Naomi Campbell, Courtney Love, Madonna, Beyonce, Joan Jett, Queen Latifa) and been done with it. Another report says Swift was crying in the trial. What??? She's such a fragile diva. "... and held on for a long time during the meet-and-greet." So not only didn't she respond, but she allowed him to CONTINUE holding on?? (And that assumes her testimony is the truth...).

Walter: let us not forget, President Obama accomplished many great things despite the GOP congressional leadership openly stating they were going to oppose everything he brought them and "make his Presidency a failure." They worked very hard to do just that. President Obama is a very, very decent man. I am honored to had had him as our President. I would be honored to have him as a friend. On the "flip-side", Donald Trump is, IMO, a disgusting human being, an altogether indecent man. I'm ashamed to have him as our President and would NEVER have him or anyone like him as a friend. Gary Crum

So all those missed opportunities over 8 years of Obama shows him as lacking in " True decency and true leadership is doing that "right thing" because it's the right thing....."?

It doesn't "diminish the human rights" of anyone. Imagine this: your ancestors had been enslaved by a group of people. They were eventually freed only after a bloody war, in which a guy named Robert Lee lead the fight to keep your ancestors enslaved. Your grandparents and even parents weren't allowed to go to good schools for the same reason your ancestors had been enslaved. Your grandparents were murdered by a group named the KKK, for the same reason your ancestors were enslaved. The KKK was able to get some statues of Robert Lee erected 50 years ago. Now the statues are finally being taken down by your government, but the KKK is marching with torches, protesting the statues' removal. Other people are marching with the KKK but "not because we're racist! because we want to keep our rich US history intact!" It might just make you feel a little good that the guys who fought to keep your ancestors enslaved are not going to be revered with public statues anymore.

You're right, "it's a statue for goodness sake," and no way does leaving it there diminish the human rights of black people or anybody else.

She knows if she's running, I hate when they don't tell the truth. Why do politicians do that? On anther note rumor has it that our Mayor on Kauai, Bernard Carvalho Jr. will be a possible candidate in the race for governor too since his term limits expire in 2018. If Bernard does run which is highly expected he would make the best Governor the state ever had! Civil beat needs to do a story on Bernard Carvalho running for Governor, a great article for you new reporter extraordinaire, Brit!

What are you talking about? I didn't say that being willfully ignorant is an excuse for doing the wrong thing, or even just being young and stupid. I'm calling you on carelessly deploying an insult like "mental case" to discredit racists. First because racism is wrong regardless of the health of those who adhere to it. But mainly because people with mental illness have enough to deal with without adding that to their big pile of stigma.

That's the excuse all Republicans use. How many times have you heard a Republican say "Nobody knew" ......... ............. after they were warned publicly by others ?

Michael, yes, you bet I'm against hate groups of any ideology and absolutely against mob violence regardless of what side of politics they're on. And I thought all Americans agreed that neo-nazis, fascism, racism, and bigotry are not the American way and these groups that openly hate people for not being white, with their adulation of Adolf Hitler, are not anything related to normal conservative politics or disagreements between liberals and conservatives. Do you not see neo-nazis and white supremacy as evil? By definition? Because of what they stand for?

"How can anybody defend hate groups?" Sooo...obviously then, you were adamant about Not defending the Liberal Hate Groups That we have seen Riot, main, injure and kill? Or "Black Lives Matters" Hate group ?- "whose very existence is about hatred and bigotry." (and they) "openly espouse Black supremacy and advocate violence and racism". One Man's "Terrorist" is another Man's "Freedom Fighter"etc...ad infinitum. It's all in One's point of view.

I'm also tired of all the 'pretend' inquiries that never solve anything & just keep wasting so much money that would be better spent on FN education or something like that, Maybe they should be told to have the inquiry organized & run just by themselves instead of getting government involved to run it.

Royal Commissions are the governments way of putting things off for a few years., until everyone forgets about the original issue. Surprise! This issue is not going away, it has already cost us buckets of money, and nothing at all has been done. I don't have a suggestion for a resolution. Anyone?

good that you read the memo and can judge for yourself had you taken the advice of this columnist you 'd be operating on blind faith - or confirmation bias as we pseudo scientists call it

@Hjohn: I've read the memo. I see footnotes that offer additional commentary from Damore and allude to specific practices at Google, but zero citations to research that support his assertions about differences between the sexes. If I missed them, please let me know where they are. Because if Damore wanted to present his POV as rooted in science, those needed to be there. Their absence means their quality cannot be assessed (which is the whole point). Also, Damore's only reference to sexism was that that he didn't deny it existed. He then comes out against measures that have been introduced to address it, offering no meaningful alternatives. I don't believe he thinks it's that much of a problem. Which is important. I actually do think that biological factors can contribute to differing workplace outcomes between sexes. But 1) systemic sexism at work is a FAR bigger issue and 2) the people I meet who are focused on biology are the ones who don't see systemic sexism as a big deal. YMMV.

No. Dear chief will lose his/her job if they follow your recipe. You are a horrible man!

" ... This is extremely sensitive territory, and applies to all human beings who have been through a kind of hell, .." To be up font - I am not into the psycholog of victimhood, never mind the bottomless pit of money it requires, usually without constructive results. Our family - like many millions post WW2 Europe - went trough hell from NAZI, then Communist persecution, at the receiving end of carpet bombing, yet emigrated to Canada to make a new life. You cannot change the past - save your energy to make a better future. The FN are in dire need of a bette future so how about an Inquiry into that ?!

How many times have presidents of both parties not followed that rule?

“War is up to the president, and perhaps up to Congress,” Mattis said. Perhaps Mr. Mattis, the Secretary of Defense, second in command of the largest military in the world, ought to review the rules his office operates under: Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution grants CONGRESS [caps for emphesis] the power to declare war. The President, meanwhile, derives the power to direct the military after a Congressional declaration of war from Article II, Section 2, which names the President Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

There are three points of view here. That of those whose ancestors were slaves, that of those whose ancestors died fighting for the Confederacy, and (least importantly) those of us who are interested in preserving mementoes of history. To avoid undue strife, the interests of each group should be considered. I like your comment about there being no objective "history'. So true. Generally, the winner writes the history books.

They're not "rewriting" history but putting one generations' interpretation of the past in the context of current knowledge. There is no one objective "history" just waiting to be written down by us. People produce histories according to their own needs out of the events of the past. How do you think black Southerners feel about statues erected to men who fought to maintain the enslavement of their ancestors? One highly doubts that they see these statues as "ancestors who died defending their states from invaders."

The way the site loads is that it places every picture from top downwards, before collapsing them all into a slideshow. If mxer has a less capable or mobile browser that didn't fully load the page, it's possible he or she had to scroll down through all the pictures in the "slide show" before reaching text. It's shoddy design.

Strange: There is one picture. The others you can choose not to scroll through.

you can answer that for yourself. since you foresee no viable missile attack today, you, yourself, would say that there is no need for any defense whatsoever. No defense is a perfectly adequate defense, according to your predictions.

If you read my post again, you will see that with respect to: 1) Scuds/short range and intermediate missiles the answer is "Yes." 2) With respect to ICBMs, submarines, and satellites the answer is "probably Yes now," but "definitely Yes" within a year. For the third time, do you believe that GMD provides an adequate missile defense for the US?

"it seems most of the violence, as of late, is coming from the left." You focus on the vandalism and ignore the murder. No amount of vandalism can be "more violence" than a single murder.

I didn't say it did. This is a story about vandalism, not murder. And once again, we see another example of left-wingers engaging in vandalism and destruction.

If they would have been ignored like the infantismal organization they are, then life would go along just fine. They are a non issue. We don't have a democracy. We have a Constitutional republic and this speech is allowed and appropriate per that constitution. People get most disillusioned, frustrated and then violent when they feel like they are suppressed. Let them speak and blow off steam. There is no danger in a strong republic.

How so? I would say that the reactionary right is by far the biggest threat to the priniciples of democracy here. Look at those nazis rallying in Charlottsille. There is your violent enemy.

I understand that. But that doesn't give the counter-protesters free reign to incite violence- just because they are on moral high ground. Doesn't work like that. And the criticism of Trump on this issue is ridiculous.

Palatable, of course violence is bad. But one side is advocating the purging of Jews, blacks, minorities and immigrants from America. The other side is against this. They are not the same regardless of who punched who first. Don't fall for the "violence is the issue." White supremacists and Nazis here, in America, are the issue.

Reminds me of the old joke about the airline industry. Q: How do you make a little of money in the airline industry? A: Start with a lot of money,

So Rogoff paid $34 million in 2014 and now the paper is worth less than $1 million? Seems Rogoff got fleeced by McClatchy and now again by Binkleys. I rarely say this but I agree with Rhyner. There is no way the paper will continue to employ even a fraction of the current 200 employees in a few months time. This is, sadly, the end of a great journalistic enterprise. The loss of jobs couldn't have come at a worse time. I also agree with the folks saying the new ADN will be primarily a vehicle for Binkley's campaign and political agenda.

Only this isn't school and you aren't the teacher admonishing your little serfs. Trump wasnt apologizing. He was amplifying his position. You, Gary, are the same nitpicking type as the editors, constantly parsing words of every post and everyone, arguing endlessly about what is meant. Must you be the eternal pedant? You can't possibly read other people's minds so why not just take it as it is?

Over my years of teaching I experienced incidents of administrators and parents telling a kid to "apologize" to Mr or Ms Whomever. These were "forced apologies" and, IMO, were meaningless. Courage, character, dignity and, yes, remorse, to have real meaning must come from WITHIN. Trump's initial comments were extremely weak. He tried to "have it both ways".....to appease folks while carefully avoiding alienating his supporters from the ault-right, the white supremacist movement and the white nationalist movement. Only when the public outcry from across the political spectrum reached the point where it could not be ignored, did he make the statement he should have made in the first place. True courage, dignity and character are extremely important characteristics for leadership. They are, unfortunately, IMO, foreign concepts to Mr. Trump. Gary Crum

Adriannea... its interesting that the jury is not permitted to see any media accounts, only what is presented as evidence in the court room. And despite the media not being able to "manipulate" the jury... the jury came to the decision that Mueller is guilty and Swift was the innocent victim...

I know on thing for sure. from the beginning the media has been doing all they can to spin this in taylors favor..only interviewing people who side with her, and basically trying to paint her as a hero and victim when she has absolutely no proof and no one.. even the people who were watching her so closely,like the photog and her security whos job it is to watch closley, saw this supposed looooong but grab...I smell total BS..and im sorry but I dont believe her for a minute,the fact is this DJ, he voluntarily took 2 lie detector tests and passed them both. when he was asked the lie detector tests both said he was being honest when taylor wont take even one..why do you think that is. she also basically wouldn't answer any of his attorneys questions or cooperate which is odd.I hope the jury doesn't fall for the media manipulation, and doesn't make the wrong decision regarding a celebrity out of fear, especially when the celebrity is someone as dishonest and nasty as taylor swift.

Well if you don't think that there should be hatred for racism and racists that says a lot about you. We fought a world war against Nazi's and the evils of racism and I don't think any sane human being would say that those who fought against Hitler and the Nazi's were using "similar MO'S" or "eroding civility"....

Different agendas to be sure. Vey similar MOs though. Hatred and violence that erodes civility. And that it gets politicized should send out the alarm for us all. Consider the Charlottesville Mayor holding back his police force even as violence escalated.

That is absolutely true. I've been one of the most vocal critics about national socialism and how wrong it is to call someone who doesn't call themselves a Nazi a Nazi. But what is equally true is that there is no room in America for coming to a rally one group is holding spoiling for a fight.

There is no place in American society for neo-nazis period.

The fact that Trump likes to profit from anyone who walks into his business is not evidence supporting your claim that he supports the LGBTQ community. It is his actions that tell us what he supports, not his words, and his actions so far are against the LGBTQ community. This cannot be disputed, as he "tweeted" a new directive banning transgendered individuals from the military, and did so with zero input from his policy or military advisers.

And of course, you never let facts stand in your way: 'He's the first private club owner in Palm Beach, Fla., to admit an openly gay couple, according to Laurence Leamer, the author of “Madness Under the Royal Palms,” a book about Palm Beach society. Mr. Trump made his club, Mar-a-Lago, more open partly out of disdain for the restrictions that barred Jews and African-Americans from joining exclusive clubs in Palm Beach. "It’s one of the best things he’s done in my view in his life,” Mr. Leamer said. “He really changed the nature of Palm Beach.” Rand Hoch, a gay activist who founded the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council in 1988, recalled bringing dates to Mar-a-Lago on two occasions. Both times, he said, Mr. Trump, who loves to play the role of greeter as guests arrive at his club, was pleasant and approached the two for chitchat."' https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/23/us/politics/donald-trump-gay-rights.html

"Antifa went looking for a fight, the nazis were there legally" . The naziz et al lost that distinction when they violated the police orders. The authorities had set things up so the removal protestors would use one enterance to the park and the counter-protestors would enter by another. The nazis et al split up and used both entrances, ignoring police orders to return. While the nazis et al had a limited permit, both groups were there equally legally.

No, violence against white supremacists, although tempting for sure, is still wrong. Antifa went looking for a fight, the nazis were there legally (also looking for a fight) but within their right to assemble nonetheless.

That would have only been possible if the process made provison for the Constitutional Court to be the final decision-making authority in the matter.

The MPs may have asked her proper questions, but their final choice would always be subjective, as was the case in the secret ballot. Party interests first ! A better option would have been to leave the final decision to the Constitutional Court - they seem to have a better idea of the big picture.

Just looking at him you can tell the dude isn't very bright. Elway seems to have his most draft success in the later rounds (where he probably defers to others). 2016 1st two picks are busts, Lynch and Gotsis. 2015 2nd round bust Sambrailo (jury still out on 1st round pick Shane Ray), Heuerman has been a bust taken in the third, 2014 Cody Latimer and Schofield are busts (Bradley Roby taken in the 1st is still playing the 3rd wheel, don't know if he will make a decent #2, or #3, 2013 Sylvester Williams is gone and more-the-less a bust, Montee Ball bust, Webster is gone, 2012 Brock in the 1st, Wolfe thankfully did pan out in the 2nd, Hillman is gone and more-the-less a bust taken in the 2nd round, 2011 did well with Von in the 1st but Moore and Franklin busts in the 2nd and 3rd. Elway has become just another drunk conservative stuff-shirt. Shouldn't have extended him. Broncos go 8-8 or 9-7 again.

Lynch doesn't seem to have the mental capacity for a multiple read offense. Really looking like a swing and a miss with this pick.

Oh, they do it on the regular. Usually Soros leads the charge, with Hillary and Obama at each shoulder. Afterwards, they hand out those sweet SorosBucks to the blahs and the libruls and those with a "metropolitan bias" (cough, Jews, cough) that helped. And it's all covered up by the FAYK NOOZ lizard people. You can only get the truth from Alex Jones and Breitbart. And if you set your radio to certain bands between MSM stations, you can hear them reading out The Troof between 1-2 AM.

Never heard of your new AM radio boogymen Antifa lynching people...or burning their churches....or dragging people to their death behind trucks.

Conversion to American designed urban magnetic levitation (maglev) will enable use of the existing guideway and completion of a project that meets all major terms of the 2012 Full Funding Grant Agreement while staying within a budget dictated by the available funding of $6.8 billion. The State Legislature should deny the city any new funding authorities, pass a resolution for a comprehensive audit, demand a pause in development while changes are discussed with federal officials, and insist that the city and HART examine ALL alternatives for rescuing this over-priced and mismanaged system. Maglev 2000 technology offers a means for avoiding further financial “surprises” that will come with an obsolescent steel-on-steel system.

Here's an option, convert it to a dedicated busway.

Hello little troll. You sound like big baby man trump when he is insulted, he acts like a child and returns the exact same insult. Trump has been proven to always lie and he never tells the truth. Educate yourself. This isn't about left or right, trump supporter or not. This is about the facts and the truth. You don't have to agree with everything trump does. Unless you want a dictator leading the country?

@Lucy Martin: He tells the truth, you lie. That makes YOU the troll.

Personally, I like what happened in many former Soviet republics and even in today's Russia. Lenin statues were removed from their previous sites of honour, gathered up and placed in 'sculpture parks' that people could visit if they want to (or not). Keeping the statues visible but not in prominent places and using them to speak about the past seems a good strategy.

History is a odd thing. Remember it, and the seeds of past mistakes tempt the hateful, unwary, and uneducated. Forget it, and everyone is doomed to repeat it. Why not gather up all the monuments and statues and put them in the "Big Ol' Museum of Mistakes and Horrors", complete with historical information about each of them, and their consequences had they not been defeated? Remember everything. Forget nothing. Consider it all. Know the consequences. Never let it happen again.

Banquo - you have a sordid history of making negative comments about North American vehicles, actually anything that isn't made by your employer Toyota. Check out industry comments, virtually all say the same thing that this is a well built product. In fact because it's GM truck based I would trust it far more than a Toyota truck base design due to the very bad history of rust related problems and recalls of a series of Toyota based trucks. Personally I respect many comments on here but yours is always tainted. You are completely untrustworthy and frankly incompetent when it comes to comments.

...yet another poorly built GM product that will lose 50% of its value the day it is driven off the lot...

There are always complainers. If the complainers had their way, we'd still be shuffling in and out of the old Stapleton airport and we wouldn't have one of the top airports in the U.S.

I love all the naysayers - the same type of comments that were said about the hotel that is printing money for the airport. I think the terminal is dated pray when I'm in that line that an active shooter doesn't decided to hover above. This is a bold project that is needed. My greater concern is how they keep it from going over budget.

Why do you insist on it being an "either/or" situation? That is a false framing of the situation which leaves us open to being very emotionally manipulated. As our rich social teachings stress ... particularly since St. John Paul II ... we need a continuous pro-life ethic. That deals with the inter-relatedness of everything. Abortion is but one piece of our throw away culture of death of which unrestrained greed and environmental devastation to the point of Earth's ecosystems no longer being able to support us are also part. As I said - go below the surface of two unsavoury candidates to why those were the choices you had.

The slaughter of millions of innocent, unborn children is not of primary importance any longer? Trump may not be a staunch pro-life character but at least he wasn't an abortion enthusiast like his opponent.

1) You are absolutely right. Lincoln was a Republcan and a geniune hero. I am sorry that you didn't cite him, instead of trying to tie Kennedy to your party...my soul shivers. 2) This statement makes absolutely no sense -"Think again Nixon brought in the voters that were disgusted that the Democrats brought to the table like the KKK, Jim Crow in the south." So there were white Southerns, Democrats all, who marched with MLK? 3)"A hallmark of the Conservative agenda is preserving the Constitution, something the Democrats have tried to dismantle ever since it was written."....prove that. What part of the Constitution are the Democrats currently trying to dismantle? Republicans have Moore running for the Senate in Alabama who consistentily disobeyed federal law in regard to the 14th amendment. Moore insisted on putting the Protestant Ten Commendments in a place of honor and refused to let his staff issue marriage licenses to gay couples - in direct violation of their civil rights.

I think that Lincoln would suffice as a hero and I was around when all of this rebranding was going on so I think I know a little about what I am speaking about. If you want to hang your hat on Nixon bringing in Southern racists into the republican party. Think again Nixon brought in the voters that were disgusted that the Democrats brought to the table like the KKK, Jim Crow in the south. Yes, they were religious and yes they were conservative as far as racist or anti-Constitution you are wrong. A hallmark of the Conservative agenda is preserving the Constitution, something the Democrats have tried to dismantle ever since it was written. Regarding identity politics, clearly you are either unwilling to see what is going on around you or are ignorant. By dividing the country up into special interests Poor Whites, Blacks, Asians, Gays, Straights, Rich, Poor only serves to weaken us.

Chris Apassingok. Sorry for the typo.

Thank you Ms. Rothe for your excellent letter. The animal rights extremists have revealed themselves to be among the forefront of those killing this planet. They shriek and flail that 130 million stray, feral and free-roaming "pet" cats must not be destroyed because of the "sanctity of all life" while ignoring that their precious "community" vermin torture and destroy 23 BILLION native mammals, birds and reptiles each year. And it's to be expected that Paul Watson wouldn't hesitate to revile and curse that young hunter Chris Assingok for feeding his people. Scratch an animal rights fanatic and a white supremacist pops out like pus from a boil. Those who flagged this as "uncivil" are abusing the comments system. I don't have to AGREE with them to be judged "civil". And I will replace this post every time they delete it.

1. there hasn't been a bike mfg industry of note for decades - even the high end like Cervelo builds in Taiwan now. . 2. Why risk anything, when you can work for the government? Only sucker now seek to go into the private sector...

I wish our government would take trade as seriously as Trump is taking it. The other day I went to buy two tires and two tubes for a bicycle and found out you can buy a new bicycle in a big box store, made in China, for almost the same price. The Chinese are just dumping bicycles into our market and killing bike manufacturing in Canada. Would the federal government contract out civil service jobs to China at 1/10th the price to tax payers? I don't think so. Why the double standard? Who is protecting our bicycle manufacturers if there are any left in this country? Not our government.

The CPC had two extremists as their possible leaders: Bernier and Scheer. Pretending they are moderate isn't going to wash.

Anyone who has lived here long enough knows that Canadian politics doesn't stray too far from the centre. There isn't a whole lot that separates the Liberals from the Conservatives. Mainly they differ on economic issues such as government spending and taxation. Otherwise you may often close your eyes and not know who you are listening to. Case in point: I would never vote for Kathleen Wynne but she made a stand earlier this year on the bottled water issue in Guelph vis a vis Nestle's contract to pull water from the aqua fir. I agree 100% with her on this issue but am a long standing conservative voter. Hell, you even have Patrick Brown writing Justin Trudeau a letter saying he supports a carbon tax. The rest of this noise about Nazis, alt right, BLM etc is just fodder for the media and the trolls who love to come on these forums and spout off their nonsense.

Am I not being racially profiled? Tell that to the people that were being kicked off the Evergreen State College campus. As far as the right to live where you want, it does go both ways. As far as the rest of your screed, I have two words: affirmative action. I have no complaints about equality. I support the "I have a dream speech", do you?

Bill, no one is racially profiling you. No one is trying to prevent you from voting. No one is denying you the right to live where ever you want because of your race. No one is denying you employment because of your race. No cop will arrest and threaten to kill you over a broken tail light. You will probably not even get a ticket. I guess equality is a demotion for you. Being judged on merit must be scary for you. You don't know what you've earned and what you were given for just showing up white. Take responsibility for your choices in life and stop whining.

what about the parents - sending your kid on a field trip to go swimming - all the while knowng the child cannot swim, the parents bear responsibility

There need to be criminal negligence charges against these teachers/principal. We entrust our kids with our public institutions and compensate our educators very well. By allowing a child into the water, all the while knowing the child cannot swim, the teachers bear responsibility. They had a protocol that they intentionally ignored. Just apologizing and giving the teacher's paid leave is infuriating.

With all due respect, I did not question the authorship of the St. Francis Quote. I asked you to cite your source of the quote by POPE Francis. Thank you.

Why is context important? No matter what the context is, the statement is false if it attributes authorship to St. Francis, who would preach in up to five villages a day.

Roosevelt and Wilson owned slaves? There's a lot of hysteria being vented here. The removal of public art, which these hysterics otherwise generally despise, is now going to bulldoze Arlington National Cemetery, level Palmyra, chisel the faces off Mt. Rushmore, burn all the books, and put an end to history. Please! Take a chill pill! Those Confederate statues were kitsch art cheaply made and sold by the hundreds to towns big and small all over the South after the Civil war and well into the 20th century to put into parks and courthouse squares. It's time for those Southerners to join the USA and the 21st century, and put behind them the fantasy that but for the loss of the war, they would all be plantation owners. Except for a very few, most of them would be barefoot and penniless sharecroppers.

Should we also remove any monuments to Franklin Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson? How about the Washington monument? We'd have to nearly level West Virginia to remove all trace of Robert Byrd.

It's getting to the point where they won't be able to hold a Klan rally anywhere. Maybe Alabama. They can all go over to Jeff Sessions plantation.

These cancellations are happening all over the place. There was a cancellation of a protest march (ala C'ville) at Texas A&M yesterday. Maybe they'll appeal to former cheerleader Rick Perry. But eventually they will just crawl back under their rocks or back into mom's basement.

"In a museum in Havana, there are two skulls of Christopher Columbus, one when he was a boy and one when he was a man." -- Mark Twain, The Adventures of Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass

I find myself recalling the anecdote a musician told, at a concert we attended, of having visited Ireland, and just outside the airport, meeting a huckster with a skull, supposedly that of Brian Boru. This musician was tickled with the sales pitch, and bought the skull. She mentioned the interesting reactions going through customs. A year or so later, she was in Ireland again, and as fate would have it, ran into the same huckster (apparently you don't quickly forget somebody selling skulls). He had another skull, smaller than the previous one, which he was also selling as the skull of ... Brian Boru. She talked with briefly as he made his sales pitch, and then told him she'd purchased the skull of Brian Boru from him the year before. His response: "This skull is from when he was younger." Exhumation, removal of bones, hair, cloth -- so much for "may he rest in peace." And more sarcastically, it's amazing we adore Jesus, without any verified relics.

Exactly, Neko. There is not one thing we know about Donald Trump today that we didn't know on the day he announced his candidacy.

False equivalency featured prominently throughout the 2016 campaign season. I recall outlandish false equivalencies regarding the candidates routinely propounded in this very forum. After all, Hillary used a personal email server for work, so both candidates are "flawed"! And the ever popular volley that "liberals" "always" "call people they don't agree with" racists. There is nothing surprising about this turn of events. It was obvious all along Trump is a revanchist bigot and that a Trump presidency would be a disaster. Thanks, Trump voters (and that means you, USCCB). You'll pretend to forget, but I won't.

There was an agreed upon demonstration that day. One prof took some grief for not participating. No other white faculty member complained- what's that tell you? It was ONE paid day off, that poor guy really suffered.

What would you be saying if it was mandatory that all blacks were kicked off campus for a day, organized or not? Racism is racism. Affirmative action is an insult to both blacks and whites. it unjustly promotes on group above another. It gives the impression that blacks only get prize because of the color of their skin. I acknowledge what was the motivation behind it. As far as decent, I will dispute that. I take it you supported the Black Liberation Army? After all, there had to be payback for the years of slavery, correct? Never mind the fact that they were sold into slavery by fellow Africans. Never mind that there were black slave owners. It is all about race, correct? If you want to see racism, look in the mirror.

How do you figure you can get 5:1 leverage using a brokerage account? Or are you using a pure HELOC or LOC to invest assuming one can get the same leverage? Most ppl don't just buy one stock. I would use the TSX or a blend of global equity markets through an ETF or Fund to compare returns NET of fees. Cherry picking is a bit disingenuous.

Purchase royal bank in March 2013 for $61.20. Current price is $93 so let's call it a 50% return. Plus 4% dividend per year. At the same leverage ratio as you, you're coming in behind the bank stock owner. And you didn't have to pay tax, legal and other fees to purchase your property? Can you realize $487k when you sell or do you have to pay realtor fees? And that means you're not living in the place if you're renting it out so there's no need to consider rent paid for the renter. Do you want me to continue or can you cover that? Oooops....you've just been proven wrong again.

I agree there are some that are racist against AK Natives. It is absolutely wrong and needs to stop. There are many comments in the comments section that are racist against other races too. How about being open and address all racism against all peoples.Then and only then can Mrs. Walker's dream become a reality.

Donna, have actually read the comments section of the Alaska Dispatch News? The open and thoroughly repugnant racism toward Alaska Natives that is on regular display by ample numbers of individuals is a stalwart segment of the society.

VDARE is an American website focused on opposition to immigration to the United States and is associated with the alt-right and white nationalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDARE Ya. They ONLY deal with the alt-right and white nationalism. That's all.

Let me try this again. Even VDare only addresses immigration levels and sustainability, they need to change their name to American Citizens Lives Matter. Fits better as their descriptive wording. And that removes the words White Lives Matter, which I assume got Post 1 banished, lol!!!! (I am laughing because Black Lives Matter is A Ok, go figure that one!)

Of course our delegation is anti Trump. The Donald is a racist and I would expect reps from the Aloha State to reject his divisive moves.

Our Congressional delegation is distancing themselves from the President? Who wrote this article? They've been from before day one anti Trump.

I believe it.

when I was in high school back in Indiana, the old man who took care of our parish reminisced about the days that the KKK marched in front of the church on regular basis.

The best comment!!!!! And correct 1000%...

The title should be "This is exactly the conjecture that Konrad Yakabuski wanted to write". Did he interview Steve Bannon? - no Does he quote from Bannon's writings? - no Does he consider the possibility that the Charlottesville incident was a manufactured conflict by the Democrats (including the city mayor, state governor and a newly minted White Supremacist "leader", Jason Kessler)? - no When you analyze cause and effect from the point of view of who benefits, a very different picture emerges from the one that the media wants you to believe. Neither Bannon nor Trump benefited from recent events, but those bent on cleaning out the remnants of Confederate history did.

"I think many 'progressives' don't understand the degree to which they've been co-opted to the causes of suppressing wages, raising housing prices, lowering living standards and boosting corporate profits." I couldn't agree more, but the term "progressives" is not how I would define the people who vote for political parties like Harper's conservative or how I would define the base of any "conservative" party. Conservatism is the antithesis of progressive. Although, I will concede that they are eventually drug into modernity, all be it kicking and screaming initially. Let's agree there are a lot of credulous voters out there who continually cut their own throats at the ballot box.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with your views, however I don't believe it to be morally reprehensible to oppose public policy on rational grounds that run counter what are essentially elitist-corporate interests. I think many 'progressives' don't understand the degree to which they've been co-opted to the causes of suppressing wages, raising housing prices, lowering living standards and boosting corporate profits. I believe that in many aspects public policy debate has been systematically polarized and 'emotionalized' in the service of a very narrow set of interests but many appear not to realize this.

Google, Microsoft, Nike, United Technologies, NASA, Boeing, MIT, IBM, GE, Honeywell, Harvard, Dow, Dupont...yes America is a basket case. Asia sits on a pile of cash?! Have you looked at the national debt of Japan?!

The party is over. The present divide was in the making - Reagan/Thatcher/Mulroney planted the tree, we reap the fruit. Canada is next - you read it here first. North American Dream was based not on hard work (... others work harder and longer hours) but on fluke of history. When 20th century dawned, Europe was committing suicide, and Asia on its knees. We had monopoly on capital, skills, and technology. Terms of trade only got better 1914-45. After WWII it was said in Europe's Capitals that America is so rich that Europe could live well on its throwaways, and Asia is so poor that it could survive on Europe's refuse. Today Asia sits on a pile of cash, geriatric Europe ekes out existence childless, and here we are under a mound of debt. Once we the master, China, India, Africa were slaves, working on starvation wages, that they refuse to do now. Asian wealth is based on education that we neglected. Trump Nation Alt-Right rather than harping for handouts should get education, skills

Shouting someone down is not "give and take". It is childish and completely inappropriate for democracy.

Sir, cmon! the public square is one of shared opinion, not a kindergarten class where a scold keeps everyone quiet. The give and take was appropriate for a democracy. Gardner is an elected official, not a tender teenager, and should expect vocalized response. Perhaps if the Senator appeared in front of his constiuents more often, and for as long as there were questions, attendees would feel pushed to be heard.

1) I am not a "Yank." I am a citizen of the US, and a human being. 2) So what? Killing Jews was legal in Germany in 1944. Oppressing votes was legal in the 1950s south. Discriminating against people of color, and making them use separate restrooms was legal then, too. Doesn't make it moral or right. Your attempt to belittle another human's understanding of this by using dog whistle words like "politically-correct" is disgusting and reprehensible. 3) Wrong. 4) Wrong. 5) Irrelevant what other "goals" the North had. The main reason for this war was the fact that the secessionist did not want to give up their slaves, and were willing to dismantle a country over it, 6) The "main issue of the war" to Lincoln was the preservation of a nation. The secessionists' insistence on keeping slavery, and their willingness to dissolve the union was the catalyst that caused him to have to act. 7) Agreed that the murder of Lincoln was tragic. The rest of your diatribe was nonsense.

1) Your post is uncivil. You are a Yank. 2) Slavery was legal in 1861, just as it had been for Plato, Caesar, Elizabeth I, et al. You make the egregious error of applying your politically-correct 2017 standards to people who lived more than 150 years ago. You are like Ponnuru. 3) In 1861 nothing in the Constitution forbade secession. 4) Lincoln and his allies acted illegally by ignoring settled law -- e.g. Dred Scott and the Constitution. 5) The North had many goals other than slavery such as high tariffs and cheap Western land which were antithetical to the South's interests. 6) Even Lincoln stated clearly that slavery was not the main issue of the war. 7) Certainly the murder of Lincoln was and has been a disaster for the US. The brutal Yank military dictatorship in the South caused wounds which have not healed and have only been made worse by people like yourself who refuse to admit that both the North and the South shared considerable blame for our nation's worst tragedy.

Along with Trump.

Steve Bannon and Sebastien Gorka must both be shown the door.

A racially charged hate crime and a alcohol and drug fueled crime are the same thing to you? Wow.

Which statues are coming down because of this guy? He did the same exact thing that the guy in Charlottesville did. That's all it takes to solve things like this, right? Just remove some statues or flags and the problem is magically solved, right?

There are limits. If you don't be;ieve me, go to the Brown Palace lobby and advocate for legalizing child prostitution.

First off, if there were any 'fine people' protesting against the removal the statue, they were no longer 'fine people' when they start chanting Nazi slogans and marching with the KKK/skinheads. Secondly, you refer to "people of honor on both sides." Well people of honor on one side fought and killed so that they could continue to whip their 'property.' The people of honor on the other side fought and killed to end it.

Maybe the fine people that the president was referring to were people that did not want us to whitewash history. People that wanted us to remember that there were people of honor on both sides in the civil war.

Still living in an alternative reality, huh?

I agree with trump. He never defended the actions of either parties involved, he only stated that it took both sides to escalate the situation, and that was the truth. Nobody likes natzi idiots, but it took another group of idiots to come out and create that mess. If everyone stayed home no one woulda even known that there was some silly little protest over the statue and it woulda dissapeared without a whimper. Too bad the alt-left had to come and pick a fight. It's clear the violence was even more to blame on the alt-left after viewing many you tube videos from the event. Of course the main stream media will work hard to cover up the truth, and spin it just the right way for the globalist agenda. Trump tells it like it is and the snowflakes can't handle it, that's sad, say goodbye to free speech. Stop the CBC!
