The SoCal hypocrisy isn't coming from the ever-shrinking Orange County Republican faction, nor does the CA of Reagan days even exist anymore-nice attempt, though. As far as Portland goes, it doesn't sound like you know much about the subject, otherwise you'd know about things like "inclusionary zoning"....which has NOTHING to do with size, but rather types of housing. Again, decent effort-no dice.

Southern California outside of LA is not exactly a hotbed of progressism - in fact if you will recall, the John Birch Society's home is in Southern California - and Orange County named their airport for Ronnie Rayguns. The Portland example is not about affordable housing it is about the size of the structures, not the people who will live in them.

Not sure how old you are, but when I was young our biggest worry was the impending ice age. I'd bet that'd be a real stinker to humans as well. No, not saying there's no issue with climate change. Trouble is, I don't think we're smart enough to know what we're really doing to the planet. And, to be clear, I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything about it. I agree that we should cut back on pollution. Yanno, I'd bet as big a problem to our planet is our ever-growing population that found its way beyond the controls of nature. I'm thinking if they included a cap on that along with the pollution control measures, we'd be talking about a real plan.

There is nothing "partisan" about the facts of physics. Adding trillions of tons of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere will trap more heat, there is nothing "partisan" about the physics of radiative heat transfer which have been understood and measured for more than a century (google arhennius). And meteorologists have understood that warmer ocean temperatures fuel stronger storms for decades too. What is "partisan" is denying the same science which predicts hurricanes paths and intensities with no actual opposing scientific data.

Just like there are lots of places that a rich guy can build a home.

> Man do rich people hate it when poor people are provided housing near them. Fixed that for you: Man, do rich people hate it when *richer people* build temporary high turnover housing for their ski resort employees next door. Could you imagine that? Once that popped up, there would never be another night of quiet, forevermore. I'm not a fan of rich people either, but here I'm with the landowners, not the corporate developers in for a cash grab at the expense of everything else. I'm sure there are 100 other sites where they can place their high-rent party castle.

Whatever possessed them to do such a TERRIBLE THING!!!!!!!!!???? Could it have been-oh, I don't know, could it have been ...............SATAN?!!

Hate to break up the levity. I understand some people want to joke about this as they do when female teachers "rape" schoolboys (e.g. "Lucky kid, I wish I would have had a teacher like that!"). The inappropriateness is only recognized by such people when the tables are turned and the incident is personalized. So imagine this had been a group of male staff "admiring" the genitals of your recently deceased wife or daughter. How funny does it sound now? These 5 would likely not still have jobs and would be required to make the rounds, informing neighbors of their status as registered sex offenders.

Fore, I have indeed moved on and am very happy to have been led in what I experience as a more authentically Christian direction. What I experienced was more than a quarrel - that's where I'd put disagreements over liturgical music and the like. For me, it was a matter of conscience regarding justice issues as addressed in the Gospel by the founder and fulfiller of our faith.

Hopefully, your quarrel with the CC is over and you have moved on (unless you are into proselytism, which I don't think you are). Quarrels should never last long if the fault was only on one side (and obviously "the fault" -- from your perspective -- was on the CC's side).

I never disputed that point. Absolutely the Constitution guarantees them due process. But that's all. Unless Congress changes the law, these illegals can be provided with said due process and then likely deported. Obama's implementation of the DACA EO and Trump's cancellation of the EO changes nothing in this regard.

Charluckles is right. Most constitutional provisions apply to non-citizens. DACA didn't change that.

Persons in Daca were given an approved status-- documentation--by meeting strict criteria in the law. Daca is legal because it has not been ruled illegal or unconstitutional when it has been considered by the courts . Trump has terminated Daca although Daca persons with remaining eligibility can complete the program. He has left it to Congress to fix or improve the program-- he said today that if congress failed to fix things, he would presumably do so by presidential power.

Moral position???? When did an ILLEGAL act become moral? Crossing the border without proper documentation is an ILLEGAL act. Every country has an IMMIGRATION LAWS; you break the law and you get deported/imprisoned. There are millions who are doing the proper thing and going through the proper way of getting here. Get your moral compass checked before giving your voice. What the DACA has created is underground human trafficking where juveniles are stuffed into cargo containers with the promise of a better place only to find themselves selling themselves on the streets to survive, while their parents are stuck in their homeland scraping every cent to pay back loan sharks they borrowed the money for the traffickers in order to get their child into the USA ILLEGALLY.

They will fly 5 more years or so, then they will have too many miles on the airframe. Their avionics will be obsolete or close to it.

There's noting wrong with our F-18s - most of NATO is also using 40 year old airplanes and nobody's complaining except the American manufacturers.

President Trump got 17.5 Billion to aid Texas disaster victims now. That would have been held up. He can revisit the debt in 3 months. Smart move by the good President.

You got a point there Dave, give Chump a chance.. He cut a deal with Democratic congressional leaders “Chuck and Nancy,” as he calls them to fund the government and raise its borrowing limit this month. Bottom line Trump got rolled. Gave Chuck and Nancy what they wanted and got zero in return. The Art of the Deal. NOT.

Congress do your job so we can keep Trump out of it. But he'll take credit for it anyway.

Got that right! Good one Maipono! ......also ,permit me my two cents. Obama had exceeded his executive order by circumventing the constitution ,by giving amnesty to the Dreamers/ illegals. This is Congress' job ,not Obama's! Now where are the liberals judges i,e, Watson or Doug Chin siting his over reach of his authority. Crickets! Not a Peep! I agree Maipono let Congress do it's job for a change! But maybe not,remember how the GOP ,in 2012 was against DACA and now today, seems to be speaking from both sides of their mouths.? Yep, so true, once politicians get elected they'll do a 180% on their constituents. Don't trust these buggahs. Waha Nui! IMUA!

Really ? Name ONE more dishonest leader than Trump. I'm not talking corruption (though bankrupting the secret service by charging them rent to protect him at his own properties is pretty damn Zuma-esque in corruption levels). I'm talking straight up honesty. Lots of politicians lie, tell half-truths, engage in spin... But I am not aware of any politician before, anywhere in the world, who would so blatantly lie about otherwise quite inconsequential things - while the very people he is lying to are WATCHING the reality happening. He literally stood in the rain and lied and said it wasn't raining. He claimed the largest inauguration attendance of all time -while we all saw the empty stands, and read how both the D.C. police and the Parks service (the ones who know) corroborated a lower figure. Here is a politician who expects you to take his word over the evidence of your own eyes. He has no understanding of what the word 'truth' even MEANS.

Quite an exaggeration in your penultimate paragraph AJ.... Plenty more dishonest leadership than Trump...... tho' I understand you really don't like him. Can't say I am either.

And here I thought even the dumb kids got a schooling this year in Reality vs. Propaganda! "Obamacare" IS the conservative health care plan. It's flaws are a direct consequence of its "market friendly" approach that does little to nothing to control cost increases by providers. The GOP has no other ideas (short of rationing health care) or they would have proposed them already. (The left, however, has plenty of workable alternatives should the ACA ever go. After all, this is a "problem" only in the U.S.A. as every other country has long ago resolved this issue.)

"Amended"?? More like scraped and rebuilt from the ground up.

Fair enough that China pick up some of the blame. Would China have got involved if the US weren't in South Korea..? If all the partitioning was to benefit the locals then I would understand... It wasn't. It was all about projecting their own power and stopping the other side from doing the same. It's hypothetical but what would have happened if the whole of Korea had elections. Or the whole of Vietnam? There is a chance there would have been Civil Wars anyway but at least the issue would have been settled as it was eventually in Vietnam.

David how can you leave out thousands of Chinese troops pouring over the border with Korea. Mao boasted it as the 2nd revolution and 'we will bleed the US to death' by sheer overwhelming manpower.Even the Russians urged him not to. After WW2 the whole world was nuts to provoke another terrible war, no heros all insane.

That's because you don't care about the reality Bill. Just use 2 minutes of your time, google 'scientific consensus' and you'll find the definition and it is not 100% agreement. The only people that Global Warming Theory requires 100% agreement are those that are ignorant about scientific processes and prefer their personal mythology. It does not surprise me that you have the facts wrong, You don't seem to like, care, or trust the science profession, (unless it can make you a profit, or just make you 'happy'. Sorry, the world is not all 'good news'. Maybe you're still shamed by the smart kids in school who gravitated to a career with great intellectual challenges? I refuse to demean those who maximize their gift of intelligence and habits of long hours of passionate pursuit of scientific proofs. We are all born with different talents, a shame you can't acknowledge achievement, especially those that point to the greater public good.

I thought according to libs it was 100% consensus that we had human caused climate change? What happened to the other 3%? Could it be that they see something that the others do not? Could there be data manipulation?

On the one hand Walker claims there is a demand for Alaskan LNG, while on the other there seems to be an abundance of LNG in the country. How about some actual information on the market prices to show probable competitive pricing our Alaskan LNG with our suppliers. To sell Alaskan LNG the price has to insure that it is competitive and can be delivered at a better price than other suppliers.

There was no torture conducted in Canada, nor requested by Canada, so you can give it a rest. The "solid probability" of which you speak was in the Liberals' speaking notes. Forgive me if I am skeptical with this rationalization. People can be guilty of a crime even of they don't confess and insist on their innocence (Kadr did not insist on his innocence; rather, he says he does not remember. His defense is his assertion that the confession was forced). To imply that Kadr is entirely without guilt is grossly naive. To put him on the same level as those falsely imprisoned for whom their innocence was later proven is absurd.

Wrong. It's not speculation. Its solid probability based on what was happening. Costs for that case had already ballooned since Harper passed the buck when he could have fixed as you rightly point out. Regardless of it being Liberal or Conservative the fact is the federal government security people broke the law and subjected a citizen to torture in Guantanamo where this "conviction" originated under a "confession". It was not a real trial. Its Canada and we do not torture. If that is true we have to pay. If that is not true then I'd like to nominate Andrew Scheer and other Conservative MPs to visit Guantanamo and receive the same treatment for the same amount of time and report back if they think it was a Charter violation.

Most people don't even know directional drilling exists. Let alone know that it has no impact at all to the ground thousands of feet above it. I do give you credit for knowing about directional drilling though. Nonetheless, the headline is still written to leave a gross misrepesentation. For instance, a simply "2 miles underneath HS" would leave a much less dire (and far more accurate) impression.

Sorry - I did not realize that your entire post was about just the headline. But I still don't see the applicability of your criticism of said headline. When I clicked on the headline, I expected to read about directional drilling; I was not under the kind of impression you suggest.

What could a judge strike down? Judges have zero input or power over Executive Orders signed or vetoed by Presidents. Nothing Trump did was illegal and was completely within his powers. The lawsuit is nonsense and just a political ploy by Democrats.

Really curious to see the legal justification for the lawsuit. After some of the positions taken by some of the judges on the travel ban - I could easily see a judge striking this down.

Yawn. From all of your anti-feminist comments, it's obvious that you are fixated with gender equality just like any angry white supremacist is fixated with race. What I was getting to is: why? Does it make you feel superior? My experience is that only insecure men feel the need to argue that women are not fully equal human beings, and that means in the church too. Your mama might have bore her lot without "moaning" but she seems to have failed to raise an enlightened and secure male. Evolve.

I am not fixated with gender at all, I only reply to those who are fixated upon it themselves. Nearly all the progressive contributors here seem to be obsessed with matters involving either sexual activity (contraception, abortion, homosexual activity, same-sex marriage, adultery, etc) or feminism and gender issues. You misread St Paul when you claim "all are apples". It is obvious that the Apostle is saying, it doesn't matter whether you are Jew or Greek, etc, salvation won by Christ's sacrifice is open to all. The message here is that despite the vicissitudes of life here on earth, which we must bear, eternal life with God is possible through Christ and only through Christ. The Apostle's concern was not with man's or woman's earthly plight, it was with their eternal existence. What you mean by my "delusion of grandeur"? I cannot guess save that it is phrase which might sound good to progressive ears. BTW, 'colour' is the English spelling, American English is not the lingua franca.

Having money in the corporation that you're intending on using is different from holding money in a corporation because you'd rather not take it out in dividends or in a salary and pay the personal tax on it. The measures are designed to curb the second reason. If you're in such a downturn that you need to take money out of retained earnings, then you're probably not going to have a taxable income for that year and any interest income you've earned will be offset by the losses. You can loan your corporation money and there is no tax implication. There's a little bit about it here. http://business.financialpost.com/entrepreneur/how-to-pay-yourself-while-incurring-a-minimum-of-taxes

Savings accounts don't earn 3% these days. Plus, this $5000 is intended for use by the corporation - eg to buy equipment, or to cover cash flow in a downturn. How are you going to move it from the personal account back to the corporation?

I assume you are OK to retroactively pay full market rates for your medical education at the same time? Sorry Dr. Parker, but you are coming across a bit self-important. Lots of professionals (lawyers, accountants, engineers, teachers, etc..) also put in lots of free work for their clients and students as well.

This is a great point and should be what us docs should be focused on right now. I know that as soon as this passes I will try and mobilize my colleagues toward more transparent and fair compensation. The gov't must pay its fair share for our services. There is enormous amounts of "free" work we do in the system - now its time to send the bill. We must treat people fairly. I learned this from JT.

Very few public sector workers make anything like $150,000, sorry to burst your indignation bubble.

Two nights ago, I had dinner in a favourite Italian eatery where the owner really has "the owner's eye", never stops working the evening service, and by force of nature, knowledge and charisma makes sure that every guest has an evening to remember. After dinner, we discussed the Liberals double whammy of the feds proposed tax grab and Ontario's 35% minimum wage increase over 18 months. He says this is class warfare, and he is simply going to throw in the towel and retire. Who to believe - an actual entrepreneur or former teacher Trudeau and former school board big spender Wynne both facing elections. Mr. Trudeau may actually believe what he is saying and so the new level at which to declare class warfare starts at $150,000 a year. But there is a huge difference between a public sector $150,000 income guaranteed with a 35% benefits package and the uncertainties of a $150,000 competitive market income with no benefits package at all.

You do realize that when people realize they can get 'free money' from running for office the government will go bankrupt from funding 'public campaigns right? You also realize that it would be illegal to spend money to 'get on the ballot' which has its own set of issues (how do you spread the word about a petition to get on the ballot without spending money or accepting contributions (in kind or otherwise). The funny thing is all the 'dark money' you so decry WOULDN'T be dark money if there weren't campaign contribution limits. It would go to the party or the candidate and be in the open. The very things are are proposing are causing the issues you dislike.

Well, you can set campaign contribution limits on candidates. They exist right now, I've linked the state SoS page on them below. What you can't do is stop someone from spending unlimited amounts of undisclosed funds into 'charity' groups. These groups spend the majority of their cash on campaign advertising. So long as they show a thin veneer of non-coordination with actual candidate campaigns, they get to operate unfettered. https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/CampaignFinance/limits/contributions.html Right now, seems to me, so much dark money floods our system through these channels that politicians are beholden to whoever dumps the most in on their behalf. As for unelected clerks choosing who gets funding, it's quite simple and is done all over the place: Whoever can make the ballot, per usual rules (petition collection, usually) gets a slice of the funding. A robot could do it, if a clerk makes you uncomfortable. In the end, the result would be similar.

It is your comment that is infantile. We all support health care, schools and roads & contribute taxes to do so. But Trudeau has proven his propensity to waste our money on his pet projects. How is giving Bombardier or Ford money good for Canadians? The first is shameless in its corporate governance practices and the second is a $40 billion company (not really in need of government support).

This comment is so infantile; yes you earned the money, but presumably you drive on roads, you use health care, your kids go to school etc etc etc... who and how do you think all that gets paid for.. leprechauns from the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Grow up guys!!

Well, I agree with you that after we ordain women & take care of the sin & abuse against all women created by a form of discrimination that teaches women they are less sacred, less worthy, less complete Christians, than men, that there is no reason to keep people called to priesthood from being ordained simply because they are married. However, this discrimination does not constitute any injustice because many faiths demand sacrifice. So although I don't have a problem with changing this after women are ordained equally to men to the exact same unrestricted Holy Orders & Sacrament as celibate men, this should never be allowed before women are being ordained priests. This would constitute gender segregation and the complete oppression of all women by all men in our church. This is a worse sin than we are already committing by allowing the gender discrimination to continue at all. I would picket against any parish that had an ordained married man as one of its priests in the U.S.

On active duty I served with several legitimately married priests whose wives enhanced their ministry. Together they provided a richness and wisdom that we celibate males will never have. There is no reason why priests have to serve the church only in the manner which we are familiar with in the US such as living in a rectory. There are countries/cultures where the life of a priest as we know it is not the custom. Priests can earn salaries in jobs that are compatible with priesthood, e.g., doctors, teachers, business owners, public service, etc. While we will always need priests who serve to teach, lead commnities in prayer, etc, it is not necessary that there be a male only "priestly class" or "caste" as we have now. Service as a priest need not be a permanent lifetime commitment. There are issues that need to be addressed, questions to be asked, serious respectful dialogue to take place. The Spirit is at work among us, and we don't have to fear questions and dialogue.

"The reason these kids have little chance to get into your Ivy League university is because you charge four times the amount of a state university." Nonsense. My school gives any successful applicant whose family's FAFSA show an AGI of under $250K a totally free education. I know; I was one of them - raised by a single mother in the slums.

Please. Rural america provides some of our best and brightest and has since America's founding. Rural public schools often provide a far superior education than their urban counterparts. Remember the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) tests from grade school? Iowa has one of the best public school systems in the nation, same with Nebraska, Utah, Minnesota, etc. The reason these kids have little chance to get into your Ivy League university is because you charge four times the amount of a state university. The rural kids don't have those resources and are smart enough to stay away from the boondoggle you are running.

Thanks for the update! Remember it is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the most overturned appeals court in the country. So they say if you have a relationship with a resettlement agency, you do not need to worry about a Presidential Order. So an ISIS friendly agency will be able to bring in terrorists by the thousands. No problem. Do you think it is smart to have 3 lefty lawyers in robes setting immigration policy? I read that it is a Presidential responsibility. It was in the Constitution so I doubt that these guys would be familiar with that fact. Do you personally believe that introducing tens of thousands (or as Europe has done, millions) of uneducated, non English speaking, culturally adverse to Western values (freedom from religion, women's rights & tolerance for all) mosque trained bigots is a good thing for America? The fringe of this group believes murdering civilian devils is morally correct. Why do you welcome such a culture with open arms? Try to keep up, Ok?

No. Try to keep up, OK? A U.S. appeals court on Thursday (9/7) rejected the Trump administration’s effort to temporarily bar most refugees from entering the country, ruling that those who have relationships with a resettlement agency should be exempt from an executive order banning refugees.

You'd be shocked at who is in our universities. My son has talked to kids who not only don't know what the big deal is about Korea now, they don't know there was a Korean War. The Middle East? When he mentioned a friend stationed in Kuwait, they seriously asked why he's there, because everything is fine - the countries are getting along fine and there's no terrorism any more. My son, who generally keeps up with the news, was incredulous.

Now you are all on with liberal instructors. Sigh. I would like to think those who study in university can think for themselves. Sure some might be naïve but they are smart people.

Cops and conduct needs to be MORE than just a editorial feature (especially in Seattle), even though that's not what the author is doing. The police provide the content, the reporters just report on it. If you think that this is happening too much maybe you should plead with the police officers to be more careful in wielding the power that they've been granted.

Hey Casey. Nice snarky tone. So is "Cops and Conduct" a regular editorial feature? Because you certainly aren't imitating a reporter with this. One angle to the story would be to question the accuracy of the inquiry. You know, the one that found the officers actions justified. I could go along with that. But to quote another of your writers making a statement that questions the officer's actions isn't doing anything other than communicating that my, isn't he a clever writer. Then bringing in the Carl Haglund lawsuit as a way to make the point that Ms. Sawant just calls them as she sees them, is a way to demonstrate what a clever writer you are. If we always make fun of our police officers as bumbling incompetents, do you think that will help us attract better candidates?

Maybe you think so but really his candidacy is a joke and you will find that this time around he gains far less support than he did in 2014. People voted for him back then out of sympathy for his dying brother, not because of Doug personally. He is far more odious and detestable with an abrasive personality that just doesn't cut it.

No, Ford is very electable. The last election was extremely close with Doug Ford as a last minute substitute. With a full campaign he can win. Toronto deserves a great mayor, a mayor who looks out for the interests of the average taxpayer, Toronto needs Doug Ford as mayor.

They have a good supply because they are buying ours and sending up the price. Obviously carbon taxes multiply the effect.

Dear Shawn: Please put on your reporter hat. I happened to drive though Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and North Dakota during the "price spike" and noted no significant change in the price (I paid the equivalent of Cdn 70 cent/litre at the Costco in Fargo, ND. If this is truely a supply issue, it should affect both sides of the border and regions equally. The fact it does not should cause you to use some of those cell to actually try and explain why only Eastern Canadian consumers are getting gouged.

Rusin has had a phenomenal season, and most nights Black seems to know just how to use him. Bud's lineups make me scratch my head sometimes, but he's squeezed a lot of wins out of this pitching staff. Rusin's season also makes me laugh out loud when people talk about how bad "the bullpen" has been this year, as if no relievers have been reliable. Neshek's been terrific lately, McGee's had a very solid season (3.61 ERA and 1.11 WHIP) and even Ottavino seems to be effective again. Like almost every team, the Rockies certainly have some punching bag relievers. But they also have some guys who have pitched really well.

I agree...what would this team have done without Rusin this year, and whodathunk it early on last year? GREAT job!

On one front, it makes total sense: Ontario retail beer and liquor are comfortable with ongoing practices of encouraging conusmption of a commodity that is known to cause social ills. With cannabis, they can still push teh consumer good without the all that pesky guilt wrecking everyone's nap-time. But an announcement does not an edifice make. Brick and mortar outlets won't be cheap, nor quick to appear. It's why an existing retailer (e.g. Shopper's, Brewer's Retail, etc.) makes more sense. But, as Gang of Four once said, it's (bureaucracies) not made for great men. Look for the province to push mail-order in the short-term, a garbage-heavy process (unrecyclable plastic, medical-grade packaging) with little redeeming social value (aside from props to Canada Post) and not much in the way of job creation (we're not talking 50,000 Amazon jobs here). And the taxes generated? Let's go ask Tweed or Aurora or Organigram what a gram fetches... does it beat the black market? Like as not.

Brilliant. Only unionised provincial employees can be trusted to retail marijuana. Funny, pharmacies across the country are in private hands, yet they aren't shovelling narcotics out the back door, are they? This is nothing but a sop to the public service unions; another bureaucracy, more built-in votes for Wynne. Anyone want to bet the Ontario government will be able to lose money on this endeavour?

It's good to read a rare appreciative (though qualified) comment about Justin Trudeau. Our P.M. is one of the most interesting and important leaders in the world. He's recognized abroad for his qualities and ambitions. However, there is the persistent streak of reticence that runs through the Canadian psyche that blinds us to celebrating our best and brightest assets.

They aren't sticking up for Alaska . They are trying to hurt Trump any way they can. They love it that Murkowski turned traitor to her party and love it that they can count on her to side with them . Obamacare is something Murkowski said she'd help get rid of , and instead voted to keep the disaster going . Democrats always tell you how many more people have medical insurance under Obamacare , yet never mention how badly it's hurting working families who have to pay for they're insurance . They also never mention how over 20 thousand Alaskan's have no medical insurance under Obamacare and instead have to pay a fine to the IRS for not having insurance because it costs too much. They don't care about those people who have nothing but a fine to pay as long as the free loaders who pay nothing keep getting they're insurance for free. Murkowski's vote may very well cost her the next election---just as Begich's vote in favor of Obamacare in part cost him his.

I'm glad to see some senators, even if they aren't from Alaska, sticking up for Alaska.

Artificially keeping prices low doesn't make any sense either. Eventually the bottom will drop out. People will do the "jobs we don't want to do". They will be forced to, and instead of competing with illegitimate poor people for a race to the bottom, wages would actually rise. Jobs that used to be considered 'starter' jobs are filled by teenagers, young adults, college kids, and seniors are now taken by foreign nationals as careers. That's not how it's supposed to be.

Translation: I'd like to see an America where crops rot in the fields, the average new construction house in Colorado is 1000 s.f. and costs $600k, and a dinner out costs $100 a plate.

Rob Ford died a year and a half ago. Like most people I gave him a grace period of "if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all." There comes a time when it's important to return to the truth, though - and that time has definitely come when his brother announces his campaign for mayor with: "I am here to continue Rob’s legacy."

Both China and Russia have done little to stem the flow of goods or foreign workers from North Korea. As for Cuba, Iran, and Syria....Russia, Russia, Russia. They will not enforce the sanctions. If North Korea had no one to turn to maybe they would talk and negotiate in good faith. Leave them a backdoor and they will just play games.

Putin and Xi both employed sanctions against North Korea, and it didn't change anything. That's why Putin now says that sanctions are exhausted, and it is pointless to add any more. Just look at the nations the USA is sanctioning to see the sanctions never work: Russia, Syria, North Korea, Cuba, Iran... Why do you think sanctions would magically work in this case? Also, look at what happens when a nation does give up their WMDs: Libya, Syria, Iraq... The USA invades them and destroys or tries to destroy their leaders. This G&M article left out Putin's specific comments about that. Nations are now aware what surrendering their weapons to US demands. It means death. So, because the USA has proven itself to be an untrustworthy nation, North Korea is unlikely to be willing to give up its WMDs.

Nothing uncivil below....but instead this is a response to deHaas's own comment using his own language, which remains on this website. No need to go low and small by hurling pointy little invectives: "such a big word for RD". You send insults, but you would not be wrong to put "Ph.D." after my name, but no need for that. This is not an Engineering journal.

Geez - your reply appears to be the *tendentious summary* (such a big work for RD) Here you go - from Francis himself about folks who call the work of unity and common good - tendentious: “A Catholic Church reduced to mere baggage, to a collection of rules and prohibitions, to fragmented devotional practices, to selective and partial adherence to the truths of the faith, to occasional participation in some sacraments, to the repetition of doctrinal principles, to bland or nervous moralizing, that does not convert the life of the baptized would not withstand the trials of time. Our greatest danger is the gray pragmatism of the daily life of the Church in which everything apparently continues normally, but in reality the faith is being consumed and falling into meanness.” (Document of Aparecida #12) Yep, RD, *falling into meanness* - please reflect on this BTW - doctrines and their applications do change in our history....dogmas do not. So, protest is part of the church process

No actually I gather my data from the growing body of both research and legal work coming from this and other cases of PFOA contamination around the country. And no 70 PPT is not really considered safe to drink long term that was the limit set by the US EPA but that limit will most likely be lowered to somewhere in there area of 20 PPT in the near future. I hope the rest of the Team Whidbey is as bright thoughtful and full of facts as you are I really can't wait to get you on the stand and depose you ...... have a great weekend.

This is a non-issue for the town of Coupeville and you know it. The following is take directly from the Seattle Times. "The Navy tests also detected a PFAS chemical — at a level below the EPA guideline — in one of four Coupeville wells that collectively deliver water to more than 1,000 residences and businesses. The water from that well has always been blended with other flows. Once diluted, separate testing showed levels much further below the EPA guideline." So the level is below the EPA guideline so it's fine to drink. You know this information but choose to purposely spew inaccurate facts to try and gather people to your non-existent cause. Sadly for you though, the citizens of Whidbey Island see right through you.

I wish that people would learn to be more precise with their use of concepts and science. It is an undeniable fact that our climate is changing, and that anthropogenic emissions play a key role in that. While the insurance industry has paid attention, some governments continue to deny it while they simultaneously enable the reduction of forest and wetlands, and allow buildings in flood plains or near beaches, then subsidize private profit with public funds. The results are exasperating.

I wish that people would learn to be more precise with their use of concepts and language. It is an undeniable fact that our climate is changing. It has always changed since the beginning of time. The open question, at least in some minds, is whether and to what extent (if at all) the changes we are experiencing are the result of or are exacerbated by human activity.

and we grew up and actually took a scientific look at homosexuality and realized it was a natural variation. Modernists looked at scripture and found that the Torah was not universal law, but an attempt to build a Jewish nation and keep it during diaspora. Historians look at the condemnations of sexuality by the Church (both hetero and homo) and discovered we had been duped by an Asexual hierarchy, which is even more sexually abnormal than homosexuality. No more.

Sodomy was condemned by the Church and by saints as a grave evil, an abomination, one of the four sins that cries to heaven for vengeance. In Catholic civilization and culture people regarded sodomy with revulsion, and Catholic governments had sodomites put to death. People today talk about homosexual orientation, but that is misleading. Everyone is created by God to be sexual complimentary to the opposite sex, regardless of whether or not they are sexually attracted to the opposite sex. It is God's plan of creation and it is natural law. He made men and women to be suitable mates for each other. For people to behave in a sexual matter with others of the same sex in ways that are only appropriate for those of the opposite sex is contrary to the order of creation and to nature, and gravely offensive to God.

[Video of his comments on around six different occasions have been shown on national TV in the past week . He admitted his action wasn't constitutional] Yeah... I just did a quick search for "Obama says DACA not constitutional" and came up with nothing. So I went above typical skepticism, especially after you failed to provide a link. I found some old videos from 2011 and 2012 being misconstrued. I suspect you are similarly misconstruing or revising what Obama actually said. Probably something like "DACA is not a law" because EOs are limited to only affecting the executive branch and do not change or affect laws. In fact, legislation that EOs conflict with defeat EOs. Unless you have a link to one of these videos you claim I see little choice but to conclude as such.

Video of his comments on around six different occasions have been shown on national TV in the past week . He admitted his action wasn't constitutional , and was only meant as a short term fix. Even today , nearly all legal scholars admit what he did wouldn't pass the courts . When Trump rushed the ban on people entering America , most claimed he didn't give enough notice . Now he's given legislators six months to fix the situation and come up with something constitutional---and his critics still cry. We must be a country of laws unless we want every person for themselves and anything goes. Personally , I think when these dreamers protest , the feds should be there to grab they're illegal parents who protest with them.

Especially, according to the President, if you are famous.

Judging by the number of comments straight conservative males make on all columns GLBT, I beg to differ. I will be the first to congratulate some of them if they ever post on straight male sexual proclivities with the same righteousness and vehemence they reserve for gay men. There a number of reasons that will never happen, the first being that dissing the sexual activity of straight men is considered effeminate. 'Locker room' talk rules the day.

Actually, while we will never know for sure, he probably could have. From what I could see during the election, while both camps had their staunch supporters, many voters seemed to pick who they viewed as the lesser of two evils. Trump came across rather buffoonish (not sure if that's really a word) but Hillary is/was completely untrustworthy, elitist, and entitled. She literally turned the stomachs of many people I spoke with. Democrats, mind you, who voted for trump because they had too much self respect to hand the nation over to Hillary.

Bernie is a goof. He could never bear Trump.

Hey Boots, do you know what influenced McVeigh for going the way he did? Does David Koresh and the Branch Davidians ring a bell? Remember how the Feds opened fire on them, led by your very own Janet Reno...? Who was the president then? He must have given the go ahead to attack American citizens... McVeigh saw this and that is the reason he did what he did... And stop insinuating that McVeigh was a conservative as if WE are like him. We deplore all kinds of hate groups. I don't see you deploring left wing zealots and radical Muslim terrorism... You seem to ignore it by pointing out people like McVeigh, for the monster he was, and say, "Hey, these guys are doing it too.." Goes to show your ego is your only concern.

Fortunately hawaii doesn't have many Timothy McVeighs. Those are truly the ones one should be concerned about.

You concluded all of that about Joe simply by reading one question in the DP forums? Lots of people probably conclude quite a bit about you just by doing the same thing: speculating based on their agenda. You probably wouldn't want to hear the results.

Joe, it's evident that your impetus is the desire to control people, what they read, what they smoke or don't smoke, etc., what liberties they are granted, etc.

President Trump is not: "begging for war." NK violations of international law -- e.g. ignoring years of UN sanctions to develop WMDs, firing a ICBM over Japan, and reckless NK threats against Guam, the US mainland and Allies such as Australia, Japan, the U.K., and the RoK, would provide him with a legitimate casus belli if he wanted one. It's impossible to characterize a 26 year-old with little political experience who takes over a dictatorship of 25 million people and successfully conducts a massive blood purge of the military, including his uncle, to consolidate his power as a "wimp." Sanctions have not hurt Kim personally because they have not been enforced strictly. Arguably, sanctions did end apartheid in Rhodesia and South Africa because violators were punished.

He "s exactly like Trump, begging for war, he is ,no doubt a wimp in disguise, just like Trump. That"s how bullies are wired, Bannon,Miller,Gorka ?...sanctions don"t hurt rich folks, nor dictators.

News articles? Vehicle crashes? Gunshot victims? Police? The second law of thermodynamics? Self threading projectors. You are going to have to narrow it down a little.

You don't really understand these things, do you?

States challenged Obama's EOs and states will challenge Trump's EOs. There's nothing magical about being a Republican.

Yes. EOs are designed to be an exercise in discretion given by Congress. No congressional law allows prosecutorial discretion for a large group of defendents, nor does it allow the president to give a form of lawful presence to a group of people illegally present. The companion DAPA was challenged in court and found unconstitutional. The same logic that struck down DAPA can apply to DACA. Attorneys general from 10 states were proceeding with a court challenge unless the President ended DACA, which he legally could have done on Inauguration day (as with any EO, which is why the illusion of DACA being real security and a good plan is a hoax, and sending it to Congress to make real law should be supported not vilified). The fact it had not yet been challenged through the courts and a court ruling issued against it does not make it constitutional, nor imply that it is. https://law.stanford.edu/2017/09/06/michael-mcconnell-on-executive-orders-daca-and-the-constitution/

Nice spin, Ye. Canada isn't building fake islands just to try and bolster a dubious claim to international waters as the Chinese government is.

And how do you think Canadian govt would react if Chinese ships drop by and sail through NW passage without giving a word to the Canadians?

Hi Steven, I meant the "Chariperson" of SAA. Thanks for the feedback. But I still do see why the SABC Board needs 12 members. More board members probably means no real meaningful decisions get made. I hope I am proved wrong!!!

Hi Henry - she is Khanya Kansile, Chairwoman. Known her and worked alongside her. Completely independent of politics, and respects governance. Of course the other SEOs can't say the same. I have great faith, time will tell ...
