I agree entirely. My guess is these people didnt have flood insurance and are trying to make the argument that an hour of stacking sand bags would save their home. engineered structures didnt survive this event, operation sandbag was just going to add to the list of destroyed structures.

A warning wouldn't save your home. Don't build where flooding may occur, and you don't get flooded. Choices and consequences... figure it out.

Certainly you know the difference between a regulation put in place by and administration, and a Law passed by congress. Please don't try to conflate the two.

Based on what? They could be more qualified by a mile and still be rejected because of race and/or color, simple as that. That's why these programs exist.

He is saying that giving preference basses on race and gender is wrong. If you support racist and sexist legislation, just come out and say out. If they were the MOST qualified, they wouldn't need protection in getting hired based on their gender or color.

Its not the commercial activity.... "And the study placed most of the blame not on the commercial fishery, or environmental factors like coral bleaching, but on non-commercial overfishing." Even aquarium fish have a catch limit for commercial fishermen which does not endanger breeding stock. But non-commercial fishing will need catch limits and education so the public will respect these limits. "...Community-managed fisheries. This concept, blending traditional Hawaiian practices and DLNR oversight, more closely resembles how pre-contact Hawaiians once effectively managed their resources within a moku or ahupua‘a. Appropriate harvest seasons, restrictions on certain fishing gear, and a periodic kapu on species could have impressive results when tailored to specific ecosystems."

I agree with this article. Shoreline fishing and diving which I have done from kid time will start to wane due to the private development, improved gated communities, and overall lack of accessibility. It's the commercial activity which is done for profit that separates the conservationalists from entrepreneurial greed. It is always mind boggling to me that anyone would base his living on a natural resource. Just saying.

Here are their Audited Financials as of December 2016. Show me where the $25 million will come from. I can't find it. http://www.eweb.org/Documents/documents-publications-policies/2016-financial-annual-report.pdf

motley: Yes, EWEB uses the ratepayers and taxpayers as their money tree. Asking ALL employees to take a decrease in pay, Ha, Ha, Ya Right, that's NOT gonna happen. So, I would like to see some of their profits come back to the ratepayers and taxpayers in a annual rebate check every year , until the $25 MILLION DOLLARS is payed back..............

Yea, but the "experts" should know how to handle these people in such a way to respect them and their willingness to help..........even if its to stay at the checkpoints to help with logistics.

SAR units routinely practice for these types of missions and are infinitely more qualified than Joe Sixpack who's "done a few 14ers." In the current conditions, wannabe rescuers are much more likely to get in the way and/or end up needing rescue themselves than being able to pitch in and help out.

Good comments that elevate the conversation.

"Better" can be meant in a number of senses. Contemplation is "better" in that it is analogous to our final end, that is, contemplation of God Himself in beatitude. This is echoed in Augustine's "restless heart" where Augustine finds contemplative rest in "seeing" the Divine. However, I think Our Lord is here getting at something else. His words do not mean that the contemplative life is a "superior or "better" vocation or that those who choose a practical vocation are "lesser." Our vocation is ours in an intimate, personal sense. It is what is "better" for us to do with our own life! Marriage is the best vocation for one called to be married. Religious life is the best vocation for one called to religious life. Christ is here defending the contemplative life, Mary's vocation, from attack by those who would say "Do something useful with your life!" Its not about the superiority of the contemplative, but about defending it as an authentic way to live out the Christian life.

You were doing good until you couldn't help yourself and launched into a peteism. This- "Your feelings are hurt because these players don't immediately fall in line and salute when President Trump gives an order. And they are not disrespecting the National Anthem or the flag. They are kneeling. You just want EVERYONE to stand at attention with their hand over their heart, or they are unAmerican spoiled brats." is so typical. Once again (and I do this often) you can offer no proof that my feelings are hurt by what I wrote on this forum. On top of that, your comments are proof to me that your feelings are hurt because liberal toes are being stepped on. And, as always, I love how you won't admit that I made some very real points. It is real that the message has been compromised. It is real that fans are insulted by big men playing a game are protesting on the fans dime. But you ignore reality and jump on the one word that hurt your liberal feelings- unAmerican.

"People don't like what is perceived to be unAmerican activity." No, SOME people perceive it that way. Others, including me, see it as peaceful protest, or dissent. "People don't like what is perceived to be unAmerican activity." No, SOME Americans are calling other Americans unAmerican solely because the players are protesting in a matter they don't approve of. Protest is as American as it gets. The Boston Massacre was over a protest. The Boston Tea Party was a protest (it was also destruction of private property and trying to place blame on Native Americans, but we'll skip that.) Your feelings are hurt because these players don't immediately fall in line and salute when President Trump gives an order. And they are not disrespecting the National Anthem or the flag. They are kneeling. You just want EVERYONE to stand at attention with their hand over their heart, or they are unAmerican spoiled brats.

Brad12, investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election and alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia have been ongoing since July 2016 and have been or are still being conducted by the FBI, CIA, NSA, several Congressional committees, and since March 2017, by Special Prosecutor Mueller. Despite 15 months of investigating, not a single piece of evidence has been produced to support the allegations, yet you blindly accept the unproven allegations as fact. I will believe when I see incontrovertible evidence.

Russian connections and all... Great integrity.

But I believe in her so we know that she wouldn't been put there if she didn't have the qualities to lead.

With respect Ms Dlomo, the sudden appointment of a black woman as CEO, after months of silence on their awareness of the fraud, shows their absolute disrespect for ordinary south africans. Oakbay made a representation that R30 million spend on a Sun City wedding was a legitemate business expence. That was a fraudulent misrepresentation. Who in Oakbay made this presentation as it is criminal offence and he/she should have been before the court already. Who in KPMG signed of that these wedding expenses as legitimate business expenses, openly fraudulently? No need for an external investigation to prepare the case. There are more angles to this toffee. KPMG to continue business must save clients and the main object is too demonstrate to these clients that whilst KPMG will take some steps, the important factor is that KPMG will continue to cover client secrets. Also KPMG is making a power show of their flop. Returning R23million fees is nonsense. It was never earned. R40 million is nothing.

You see, how it works is that the President proposes, then Congress crafts the legislation, they talk about it, and then get it to the President's desk for signature into law. I don't know why the left continues to make a connection between health insurance and calls it health care. The health care industry is doing great in our country. ACA was designed to fail and drastically raise costs to the consumer and the providers of care. If even Medicare can't pay out to the providers in a timely and accurate manner, don't believe that ACA would do a better job. Wait until those on the exchanges find out their premium rate costs will go up next year. Then maybe the left will see the folly of letting Mr Obama and the Democrats force all Americans to consume, or else. If you really are interested, ask any of the 4 august personages that are our Congressional reps to tell you if they invested in health insurance companies in the last 7 years. Hmmm.

You can thank, in great part, lil Marco Rubio for sneaking in the defunding measures in 2015/16 legislation that is now taking effect. Still waiting for trump's no-increase, better-coverage, no pre-existing restrictions, and oh- CHEAPER, health care plan. You know- TrumpCare... did he leave his BIGLY, 'best chocolate cake in the world' plan in his gold-plated bathroom?

For my money, Trump should be kept off Twitter. Every time he uses it, he sows (even more) discord.

It takes guts to call out Trump the way Corker has on Twitter. Reince Preibus was a backstabbing coward who leaked information to the press. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell absorb insults from Trump all the time and do nothing. Corker is correct in his Twitter rebuts but Trump marches to his drummer to appease his Twitter base. My concern is how Trump will react the next time he's called out for his impetuous behavior. Clearly Trump has an issues with verified facts. Eventually the lies will bury him. Hopefully. Soon.

She was talking RATE of firing. Not total rounds. You don't have to shoot 100 rounds in order to shoot at a rate of 100 rpm. Math isn't your strong suit is it?

Why would the shooter use a 'bump stock'- a legal alternative to possessing an illegal 'Full Auto' (machine gun), when he was going to already be illegal in committing murder? He could have just removed the sear - Oh but that would be illegal. He shows concern about not being illegal (?), but then kills people? It makes No sense. Something's wrong here. Feinstein: “Individuals are able to purchase bump fire stocks for less than $200 and easily convert a semiautomatic weapon into a firearm that can shoot between 400 and 800 rounds per minute and inflict absolute carnage,” she said, calling for a ban on their sale." LOL! Truly an idiot.Tell me, HOW does a AR-15 or similar rifle fire 400-800 rds when they only hold 20-30 rounds?

Proving the the alt left is even more in denial about pop culture than previously thought.

Every minute detail about Trump and his family?? Here's a basic, foundational question asked of EVERY President: how much money did you make last year? We do not know and will not know until the Special Counsel issues an indictment. We do NOT know "every minute detail" about Trump or anything close to that. Donald Trump "accomplishments" involve little more than the aggressive abuse of the tax and bankruptcy code and a skilled grifter's ability to hoodwink an endless stream of clueless fools .... like yourself.

More babies are killed annually through "reproductive health services" in the US than by guns. Services and birth control can be bought through almost any health care provider. Choices in reproduction activities are also a significant category of causes of death- are they on the list to outlaw also?

Your posts remind me of a hilarious compilation of CCTV footage I saw of guys trying to steal ATMs using various kinds of trucks and machinery, and things going terribly wrong. I can just see the cops using the Jaws of Life to extract some boob from his VW that he sealed himself in by trying to drive between two bollards. Maybe they should steal a front loader and a dump truck while they're at it. The equipment would be worth more than the guns. You should take this act to comedy clubs.

/facepalm at you confirming some of the key things I said. If the bollards are too far apart then they will use a littler car and go between them. The bigger vehicle is to deal with taking on the bollards not the building. Two thieves generally aim for the door so they don't have to deal with clearing stuff. If you take away the door completely they will deal with limited amounts of 'clearing stuff' to get at what they want. They can and would 'create a hole' by ramming the side of the building and backing out or just leave the stolen hole maker in the building while they leave in another vehicle. The I beam bollard you mention is very easy to get out of the ground with a push/pull and a semi decent chain or strap it's done. You don't think the front door is the only door on these buildings do you? Again as you described your bollard it's no more difficult to remove than a basketball backboard post. In fact it could be easier.

Comment 2 [continued] how to respond to the Royal Commission’s final report and how to restore trust in the Church. The Royal Commission was very critical of the clericalism of the Catholic Church, of the efforts by bishops everywhere to protect the reputation of priests and of the Church with (an utter) disregard for the need to protect children and deal with sexual abusers. Among many issues raised, there was discussion of the lack of females in decision making/governance roles. There was also pointed discussion regarding mandatory reporting of information received regarding child sex abuse, including what was/is learned in the confessional. The Australian Bishops Conference has also called for a national Plenary Council to be held in 2020: “It’s clear then that the Church here is passing through a time of deep, painful and permanent change – which is why the bishops have decided for a Plenary Council, [continued]

Comment 1 This article appears to want to link this visit by Archb Hart, Coleridge and the Truth, Justice, and Healing Council head as somehow directly connected to the potential trial of Card Pell on child sex abuse charges. I don’t think that is why the meeting happened now. A more complete article by Christopher Lamb of The Tablet is found here: http://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/7883/0/australian-church-facing-biggest-crisis-in-its-history-says-brisbane-archbishop- The Australia Royal Commission is due to release it findings in mid December after years of grueling inquiry into institutional response to child sex abuse. The Catholic Church is one of the religious institutions that has been beaten to a pulp in the long inquiry. As Coleridge put it: “The Church has been shaken to the core, or as one well-informed voice has said, ‘It has broken the heart of the Church in this land.” My thought is this meeting is more about [continued]

So you're saying we shouldn't trust Fox News. ….thanks for that.

We tend to accept information that confirms our prior beliefs and ignore or discredit information that does not. This confirmation bias settles over our eyes like distorting spectacles for everything we look at and points in one direction. So many People judge things according to the disposition of their minds, and had rather imagine things than understand them, because if one didn't they would scorn ALL of humanty for todays history not just one! Because people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly!

Completely agree with this comment, I'm so disillusioned with the DA's non management of the western cape drought. Come 2019 they will be coming after our votes again, if they want mine they had better have got a very good plan in place and I'm not feeling too thirsty.

From a citizens point of view the possibility that Cape Town might run out of water under a DA Government is worse than most of the poor governance debacles under ANC rule elsewhere in South Africa. I am talking about on the ground day to day governance / service issues that have nothing to do with clean audits and a strong stand on corruption, etc, etc. This is nuts and bolts stuff. The DA is most emphatically NOT being blamed for the "worst drought in history". That is simply a smoke screen. The DA is being blamed for its atrocious management of this crisis over the past 18 months. They introduced restrictions too late, they did not make restrictions strong enough and, worst of all, they did not enforce restrictions. Even now there is no visible evidence that water delinquents are being harshly punished. Water savers are not being rewarded for their efforts. How about offering a discount to those users who have reduced consumption by more than 50% Ms de Lille

MC, I've only lived here 4 months and even I know that First Nations could set fires in the old growth, without a general conflagration ensuing, because their old growth was "naturally" much more resistant to fire than our patently unnatural, cutover, monoculture tree plantations. Also, the fire season has been made much longer, drier and hotter by anthropogenic climate change. The problem is not binary, not cut vs. preserve, nor human "forest management" vs. nature's course. Environmentalists and Big Timber are locked in a debate that no longer has any relevance, other than the fact that it stalls discussion of what really needs to be done.

Do you include the indigenous humans here in Oregon who burned the forests for centuries before the Norse showed up as being 'unnatural', too? Should we now let all the lightning-caused fires burn and see what happens? That was most of our fires this year. That's 'natural', isn't it? Those humans and their hiking trails shouldn't even be there. Or their nudist camps or resorts that were threatened by the fires this year.

The stock makes it easier to shoot more accurately, as in not from the hip, which is what the hooking your finger in your belt loop ends up having you do. So while you are technically correct, you are still wrong, in that it would have been almost impossible to make those shots if shooting from the hip.

"Sadly, you don't appear to care about the women he's alleged to have harassed, either. Your reaction is delight that he's a liberal, and that's about it. And you're not the only one." Attempting to turn the tables on a contributor to this forum, yet again. And top it off with the self righteous, back of hand on forehead Shakespearean you seem to "delight" he's a liberal, schtick. If he was a conservative you would stand in line to make disparaging comments. You wonder why libs are viewed as the epitome of hypocrisy?

The Guardian article says that lots of Hollywood women have spoken out, but not many men. Sadly, you don't appear to care about the women he's alleged to have harassed, either. Your reaction is delight that he's a liberal, and that's about it. And you're not the only one.

The judiciary is supposed to be separate from politics. You goobers just can't seem to get that. Maybe he believes it's alright to pick the best person for the job. And you don't remember any warning about Robert's because there were none. He was very qualified for the position he holds

Guess this will finally solidify where John Roberts stands on the political spectrum. You can NEVER be sure just who these people are until they start their reign. I remember warning about Roberts when conservatives were cheering his nomination.

$4400 CAD /month in rent "seems cheap" compared to Toronto huh? What's your UK salary in CAD? (spoiiler alert: salaries are way higher in the City than in Toronto) Cost of living is about housing cost % versus your gross/net income. Math is easy when you only stay on one side of the equation. You can prove almost anything that way.

Still seems cheap in Toronto, I currently live in the UK and I must say the 4,400 CAD a month over here for a 2 bed 2 bath 800 sqft flat no parking, no storage, in an "up and coming neighborhood"(aka don't go down the wrong streets at night) with a 30 minute commute to London will go a long way in Toronto. I reckon I'll get the same for 2,400 in Toronto, looking forward to moving back in a few months. You haven't seen expensive till you live in London.

Looking at state/national politics ... it's a lesson that the public seems not to have learned. When we vote for "change," we seem to put into office people with the same (lack of) ethics. Is the current governor any less ethical than those who preceded him?

This add's to the reason's why Walker needs to be voted out of office. There is little doubt he has a buddy he wants to give the job to.

The reason benefits are paid out at a higher percentage is because wages are generally lower than private sector counterparts. I choose to work at a university and make just over 40k per year. I could easily earn 50k in a private sector, but my retirement wouldn't be guaranteed. We sacrifice now for future security. And now I get another 3% pay cut this year after not getting COL raises the last 3.

Agreed. PERA's investment returns aren't really the problem. Basing benefits on an unrealistic 8% expected return was. Benefits were simply way too generous for what could be supported. Allowing benefits to reach 80%, 90%, even 100% of highest average salary is wholly irresponsible. 60% is a more common private sector max. And more responsible. Allowing benefits to start as early as age 50 or 55 was equally as irresponsible. As was a whopping 3.5% annual COLA baked in regardless of inflation rate. The people that retired during those years hit the jackpot. Can't blame them for the government being stupid and irresponsible, of course. But they've WAY over-benefitted, and now current employees and taxpayers are taking the hit for those irresponsible over-promises. Only now are these proposed changes getting closer to reality and sustainability.

I hate the free press because they are full of fake news, twists reality, and is trying to subvert our duly elected govt. The worst part are all the lemmings drinking the Kool Aid and believing the tripe.

Let's see ... clear and obvious injustice is okay because ... what, they brought it on themselves? Is that the talking point now? And quiet, peaceful protest of that is unpatriotic? That makes no sense, but you blindly repeat it. Our country has tens of millions of lemmings so blinded by brainwashing that they don't even believe what they see with their own eyes. The multiple videos of police shooting unarmed people of color are readily available. So are the videos of our so-called leaders making asses of themselves. But the lemmings choose to believe what they are told to believe instead. Parrots. Sheep. Blind obedience is the fuel of totalitarians. No wonder you hate the free press. It reveals the truth.

Kinda shows too just how much HRC was possibly a worse candidate.

When Trump boasted about his perverted sexual predations, the right fell all over themselves to excuse it and attempt to normalize it as 'just how the boys do'. Even the self-proclaimed and self-styled 'righteous' evangelical extremists decided they'd just go ahead and accept Trump and hold him close, never mind their Christian hearts might go all aflutter. Used to be, for those self same evangelicals, even one divorce would summarily disqualify a candidate, but today, with Trump, they don't care if he runs through wives like some people do the number of new cars they might buy. And the boasting and admitted perverted sexual predation? LIke Trump didn't boast and admit his crime. Sexual perverts should pay for their crimes. Period. As one, as a society we should condemn them and not allow them to escape punishment. But, if you're a right winger, you only act like you're outraged if it's not a right winger caught in their perversions. No better example of the right's hypocrisy

Your response was expected. I use to be like you! Some day, if its not too late, you'll see the real light. Peace comrade!

Touch screens were first invented by DARPA so U.S. and Israeli SOLDIERS (aka, MILITARY) could practice hijacked airplane recovery. (aka, your, "Originally for military use") . Jeeps, designed/invented for the PURPOSE of transportation of the MILITARY (again, "originally for military use") . "1911 ... bang, bang" -- yup, you ignored it, but I'll say it again: "Originally for military use" . So will you try to ban 1911's for us? I didn't think so. . I have as many firearms as I care to have-- that's sort of the point. Why, Comrade, would you let us all know how much the state should say I get? "Peace and Light?" You want nothing of the sort.

Brah...wat you tink JPO is????

Maybe it's time that HPD looked at taking a page from the military playbook and start a ROTC-like program. Sponsor tuition for a criminal justice degree with a required time in the force (i.e. 5 years of service) for promising recruits. If they fail to graduate with the degree or fail to serve the time required in HPD, they owe payback on the tuition. Could be a win-win. No college loan debt for the recruit and HPD gets a more educated, committed officer.

Gratian was all they had.

Interestingly, there was no Canon Law prior to 1150 and the only Canon Law that existed between 1150 and 1917 was the commentary published by Gratian -- a theologian, not a pope or bishop -- which was never formally accepted by the popes, although it served as the official text for the study of Canon Law in seminaries and universities.

What would even be better would be thoughtful state legislator took some time discussing the bill, did their homework, listened to professionals, looked at data from other states and talked to skeptics about the flaws in it when the original bill was jammed through by Coghill and others for political purposes to throw red meat to the base. As a bonus these same legislators tear the economy down, defund programs that then fail to address social programs, act like you care about the drug problem, while putting through a terrible piece of legislation to make all those things worse then take no responsibility and blame others. Exactly what happened. Evilly cleaver.

The current crime problems in Anchorage have very little, if anything, to do with SB 91. I would imagine many of those who cry out for a repeal of SB 91 or a tearing down of much of the positive aspects of the bill would also feel so much better if they could simply beat shoplifters. Some would like to hang people. It's too bad we can't allow SB 91 to run its course and hopefully improve things for everyone. No, we have to run amok and burn down the barn with Frankenstein monster in it rather than address the true causes for much of today's crime, which is poverty and addiction. From what I read in the paper, most of those who commit crimes get caught and go to jail. Few remain free. Unless of course they are the super connected from wealth, executive positions in corporations or political politicians. They often pay a fine and continue to scoff at the rest of us. Those are the ones we need to lock up.

Agreed. These buzzwords don't help bring any point across. What happened to convincing people of a viewpoint by just being articulate? Speaking of being articulate; please, dear author, get an editor on this article.

"Some feminist men, those who are anti-rape and believe in reproductive rights" lol wut ?? "It’s another soft stab into the heart of anyone who fights for the notion that women are people." The author is saying that if you don't identify with her brand of feminism, then you are pro-rape and anti reproductive rights. In fact, even if you do identify as a feminist, you might still be pro rape. :/ Either you agree with everything she wrote or you are a misogynist. I can bet being a 2nd wave feminist (equality before the law) doesn't conform to her version of feminism (women should be accorded special rights and privileges). The rest of the article is a mess. Full of short, buzz word laden paragraphs, using down the rabbit hole internet links for argument. It reads like a buzzfeed article. How long did it take to write this, 30 minutes? If this is modern feminism, then it is in trouble.

Texans don't ski? Why wouldn't her dog be trained to ride a lift if that's an activity she enjoys? You know, the whole point of a service dog is to help one function and enjoy the activities they enjoy, those activities would be taken into account during the dog's training. Besides, my dog doesn't have lift-specific training, yet he would have no problem riding a lift. Up. Sit. Stay. Off. He obeys those commands perfectly. Plus he goes skiing with me all the time, so the mountain environment is very familiar to him. I don't know why some of you people think this is a big deal, it's not.

I made a comment to your post where you cite the murder rates of some Democratic strongholds. Using the link you provided, I responded by showing you the mow murder rates of other Democratic strongholds......once again debunking your drivel. Thanks for that link....you made it real easy. Since you seem to have missed it, here it is: Murder rates of other Democratic strongholds: Seattle- 3.4 Portland- 4.2 San Francisco- 6.1 Denver- 7.8 Austin- 2.5 Boston- 5.7 Charlotte- 6.9 Columbus- 9.1 Honolulu- 1.5 San Antonio- 6.4 NYC- 3.0

Really, Quit While You Are Ahead. I replied to this inane post ->"I wonder if the congressman would like to leave his family, friends, and home to "be an economic development lift for Mexico and Central America." Really. Best to opt out now. . . . (It is uncivil to say can one spell Stupid?! Lol!)

He would do that because he wants to "be an economic development lift for Mexico and Central America." He's altruistic.

"Anger"?? The last time I looked you conservative fools are reallllll quick to back Chumpty Dumpty no matter what spews from his childish mouth or even worse, his mindless teeets. But you guys stay on that train. Sooner than later it's going to de rail and that's when the realllll anger from you guys will show its ugly head!

Now that was funny JSwr...you asking the libtards to "think". Valley and mtF only spewing out libtard idiocracy. Why is there so much anger from the libtard left?

Ah the Consrvative brain. All about controlling others. Just because your old and the best years are behind you doesn’t mean you need to hate progress.

I got hit by a cyclist at a designated pedestrian crosswalk. Cars stopped but the cyclist did not. He sped away without stopping. Cyclists act like the rules of the road do not apply to them. Most do not obey traffic signals or any rules. Many ride on the sidewalk hitting pedestrians. Our elected officials are so afraid of the cyclist mob that they will do nothing about it. We need some leaders who will stand up for pedestrians.

Sorry Bill but that just sounds like a lie that can't be proven or disproven(the part about the investigation). We'll never know. Plausible though with a Republican Congress. How many Bengahzi hearing did they waste our time and money on with no new information - pure partisan BS. Dems are gonna do the same to Trump. Partisan Ship of Fools. Accidentally a nice play on words!!

Only because of Democrat deflections and the results of the election. If you think the investigations into Trump's activities are big deal, you forget what Hillary had waiting for her after she had won. There were already investigations into her activities that were delayed for the election. They were all set to resume in Jan. Trump called them off, if you remember.

Furthermore, it's also telling to note that Trump is doing his best to distance himself - and alienate - the establishment base of the Republican Party that he is officially aligned with. Trump is not a true Republican or Democrat - just a creep.

Trump admitted to sexual assault. Weinstein is now accused of multiple sexual assaults. Their political leanings don't have much to do with it, as far as I can see. They're both creeps, regardless of which party they represent or support.

Seriously? And you think this was "just one of those things?" And by the way, humans are animals. Just another animal. Nothing special. Our lives are no more valuable than any other.

I'll bite. This one was special because..... People die for a variety of reasons every single day. Sometimes from disease or old age, sometimes by accident and sometimes by intent. I'd change all that if I could. Animals die every day. Sometimes from diseases or old age, sometimes by accident and sometimes by intent. I'd change all that if I could.

Instead of waiting on government bureaucrats, you should learn to rely on yourself.

I think that you need a minimum three day kit for your car (for getting stuck in a snow storm or sliding off the road) and a 30 day or longer kit for your home. You also need to be able to pack out your supplies if you are forced to leave your home. If you have an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, or a firestorm (like we just saw in California) it will be a year or more before you can find a new home and you will be one of a million refugees waiting for salvation from government bureaucrats.

I agree we will have a difficult time getting a simplified tax code but for other reasons. Our current tax code and system are being using for social engineering and as a punishment and reward system based strictly along political lines.

I would love to see a simplified tax code, but do you honestly think it will ever happen? The large tax prep companies will throw a boatload of money at Congress to convince them that making the tax code simple enough that those companies aren't needed will kill jobs. They will find a way to spin it and run ads that say something along the lines of "Call your congressman and tell him to vote against the tax simplification act, it is a job killer" . That will be the end of a simplified tax code.1

Lamar Hunt actually liked soccer more than football and is the reason we have MLS in the US. It was his third attempt at starting pro soccer in the US. Maybe if he cared more about football they would have won more often. The last time the Chiefs lone Super Bowl trophy was seen it was with Clark Hunt on Antique Roadshow getting appraised.

Yes, the late Lamar Hunt was a founder of the American Football League (AFL) and is the father of current owner Clark Hunt. Hey if the Chicago Cubs can win a World Series after 108 years, the Chiefs have fairly decent odds of getting to the NFL Championship game and maybe even winning a few in our life times. The ownership of the Chiefs seems refocused and into winning in the postseason. By the way, Lamar Hunt coined the term "Super Bowl" after seeing his child (Clark Hunt?) playing with a super ball.

Nafta has nothing to do with job killing cross border shopping

I would like to see the analysis by the government as to why NAFTA is so great. For individuals buying in the USA we are subject to 21 % Customs and tax plus Brokerage if it is not covered by the travel limits.We pay materially more for automobiles and many other items than US buyers.we subsidize all these industries that get tax breaks like automotive,poultry etc. NAFTA may be good for Cdn Businesses but they don't pass on the benefit to the Cdn population. Its time the Cdn Gov distributed its risk and initiate more trade agreements with the rest of the world with less dependency on the USA .If it was not for Cdn oil the U S would have a material trade surplus with Cda.While Cda fails to create a supply chain for West East and West West to mitigate our dependency on US mkts.All this has been going on for years with little action by all political parties

What he implied was that if you're gainfully employed and contribute to society in quasi-meaningful ways, you're much less likely to go out in broad daylight and commit crimes. . And he's absolutely correct. . It should also be noted that adding "living in a two-parent, stable household," and "having a high school diploma" to that list makes the chances of being a criminal punk reduce to just about zero.

I believe all 911 calls are recorded.

How many unspent cartridges were found in the aftermath? Should tell you how fast police got control of the shooter. That first caller is the first hero. I suspect some hotel or 911 operator schmuck didn't take him seriously and time was wasted. For the want of a nail a war was lost.

To be fair, I don't believe the Somali refugee in question was permitted to enter Canada and file a refugee claim on the current immigration minister's watch.

It is constantly embarrassing to me when I read yet another apology. Where is the head of the Somali Society in Canada (and also our Immigration Minister) and why is he not explaining why a Somali terrorist was allowed in from the US to attack Canadians (perhaps he had a ministerial pass from the Immigration Minister)

So wouldn't the 'tradition' of standing during the National Anthem be an elective gesture as well? Who's requiring anyone to stand for the National Anthem?

Another anti-Trump article. I looked up the website . It states that it's a tradition for "civilians to place their hands over their heart" during the evening song. And yet I've never heard of this tradition despite many years of living on military bases. FYI: a tradition is not a rule which means that compliance is not required.

Engineers working and alaska are supposed to take those kinds of situations into consideration… And it sounds like the new airport was just a faulty and expensive luxury that couldn't really compete with the cheaper old landing strip… "New" and "modern" and expensive" isn't always equivalent to better.. Case in point.

m: Before pillorying the engineers it would be helpful to know what they knew when they designed the airport. Climate change has affected permafrost and it is likely that is what is causing the problem. Possibly unknown when initially designed.

You sound a bit like the Swedes Garrison is describing What "spoke volumes about our country" also occurred in the 90's When parents had to explain to their children what "oral sex" was because headlines claimed the President was engaging in it, at the White House.....and not with his wife And the wife, who knew all the way back in Arkansas, did NOTHING, Because she was paving the way for her own White House run And everyone knew she covered.....(just as everyone covered for Harvey, for the money), Consequently she built a Nations mistrust of her (the e-mails & the bank speeches didn't help) So bad was her shaky foundation....that she could not even defeat the most deplorable man who ever ran for POTUS It all started back then Then a crooked DEM party, who serves itself only, just like the Republicans do, INSISTED we have this person for our leader And the rest is History....being written as I type

Everyone agrees that Your Js have bigger problems that who's the back-up catcher, uh, yeah, of course. Why you singled out that particular point out of the many problems with this team and its management raised by the poster....diversion.

It's really not. back up catchers are bad. This year, the Jays' were super bad. This isn't arguable, and I just assumed we all knew they were and didn't need to state the obvious. However, the level of expectation on should have out of the position should be very, very low and sometimes I think that's not the case with most. My point was that among the Jays deficiencies, an specifically the ones the poster listed, back-up catcher is down the list.

Not to forget that the Sioux drove out original plains tribes " In the 17th century the Sioux were pushed westward by tribes, particularly the Ojibwa and Cree, "

Not just whites. Mik'ma and other tribes also used scalping (where did european colonists learn the technique?) and hunted out other first nations. Look at the great lakes and the Iroquois conquering and eliminating all others.... Native North Americans were as violent and bloody as Europeans at times. And eventually they used guns, steel and horses too, after the Europeans came.... TO suggest North America before the Europeans arrived was some happy paradise of non violence, lack of ecological environmental impact and oppression/slavery/ genocide is to engage in historical revisionism, and does a disservice to human history and the history of native north americans in particular.

The one and only expression of sympathy you have ever expressed is in the post which I said was "bull". You are clearly incapable of expressing sympathy, just as you are incapable of denouncing racism. Since you are a demonstrated and unrepentant liar. it appears that your saying you sympathize is just one more of your lies. Instead you give us pietistic platitudes. You are a fraud, RD. You lie, you show us constant arrogance, pretending you are better than us, you refuse to say that racism is wrong, you object to showing sympathy. You pretend to be a hyper-Christian, but you back this pretense up with mouthings that you undoubtedly plagiarize from your Opus Dei guru.

Some people have sort of a "rigorist" view of sympathy: if someone isn't constantly handing them virtual or actual kleenexes, then they're unsympathetic! If they - while being sympathetic - also engage in a bit of "demanding" sympathy, then they're not being sympathetic. To become the people that God wants us to be is a demanding task. We have to learn to set aside memories from 50 years ago of being bullied! Otherwise we become too self focused and unable to live charity with others close by. We begin to count our charity. I think we need to set aside these sort of stale and self-focused views of sympathy and learn let the God of surprises teach us new ways that sympathy can be exchanged.

I have consistently refused to believe that this is a "right/left" thing. And while I do acknowledge that many (either directionality) should indeed know better, there remains the attractiveness of relying on one's own trusted (but not trustworthy) sources for explanations of science with political overtones. The state of climate science literacy among the public would be much improved in the absence of those sources so anxious to dispense their own versions of that science.

A large number of my friends are actually far right. As such, many will include me on their chain mails. It is disgusting at how foolish these guys are for passing this on to others, esp. when i KNOW that they KNOW BETTER. Even if 100% of all volcanos erupt, including all of the super volcanoes, it would not touch what man has put into the air. In fact, it likely would not touch what China has put into the air. The accepted numbers on them does NOT match up with satellites. OCO2 shows that China emits a LOT more.

Hillary isn't an active politician at this point and Bill... well who knows what he's up to? I lost my attraction to Clintons long ago. I've always resented that Hillary and the Dems, thought she was 'entitled' to the nomination. It was classic partisan politics and yet another example of how power/wealthy corrupts democratic process that work on the assumption of equality. *By actively blocking independents (NA) in Oregon from having any say in the selection of candidates, both parties assure that they don't really care for the opinion of over 30% of Oregons registered voters. If you include those who are not registered, but eligible to vote, The Party is not down to selecting candidates with less something around only 30% of the public having any input at all. Hillary's character has zero to do with Trumps demeaning comments and bullying, let alone any influence on his foreign or domestic policies. I understand the double standard/hypocracy. It's a valid point.

Have you gotten a Hillary lover to admit that Bill is guilty of sexual assault and an enabler? Have you got a Hillary lover to admit that she is paranoid and a liar?

I see your point to a degree. But I wouldn’t say that they’re a non-threat...They could lob one somewhere & cause some serious problems and damage....Or what about miniaturizing in sneaking one in??..And setting it off-internally!!

North Korea is in no way a threat to the US they are merely a pimple on the ass of humanity! In saying this they need to be dealt with once and for all and hopefully China will do what is necessary to solve this problem. It has gone on for too many years and cost too many American lives!

That's correct. Most Americans are unaware that no giant transformers are made in the USA. The only producers are China and France. Utility companies do not keep extra transformers on hand because of the huge expense. They order them as needed and it takes many days/weeks for them to arrive. The USA has been very lucky for the last thirty years, dodging the solar CME's which have struck the planet in scarcely occupied areas of the planet.

Scientists (NASA included) BEGGED congress years ago to appropriate funds and shield the grid as well as ensure backup parts (transformers especially), for the eventuality of a solar flare, to no avail.

No. It's Boeing. Dreamliners!

Nope, airbus. Their long haul planes 330-200s, short haul, 321's, interiland, 717s. They are looking at 5 330-300s for long er flights, maybe Hong Kong.

From his mathematically challenged supporters.

Bill Smith wants to keep taxes down, while putting money out to fund a new arena. Where is the money coming from?

Kumbya is greek, use a Kappa. Cumbya is a term used at those Vatican gay orgies. Regardless, I am not arguing for a kumbya moment. Quite a few priests need to be be outed, not as gay, but as asexuals, and counseled on what their sexuality entails and how it has preverted Catholic sexual teaching. They need to feel as uncomforatable with that as they have made the rest of us feel for normal heterosexuality.

"We are all Church". Cumbaya, cumbaya.
