You have an old view on green roofing design. I generally like most of your posts, but I think you are out of touch with what is happening TODAY with green building design. None of which btw would Denver be 'gen 1' in implementing.

There is no "return on this investment." Water will be wasted, and buildings damaged.

"Up a few thousand" huh? Can you be more specific? What code changes would cause that?

If passed as it is now proposed, my taxes will go up a few thousand, and my income is close to the median. Some households with children will benefit, and some will not. However, I think there is an excellent chance that "tax reform" won't pass as written. We know that any tax bill passed by a Republican Congress will primarily benefit wealthy people, and we also know that the wealthy don't need more money, while many families of working people can well use it, spend it, and stimulate the economy while increasing federal revenues, paying down the debt.

Well, since we all originated out of Africa, you could say that about the rest of the world as well.

There are no humans "native" to the Americas. Some had ancestors who arrived a bit earlier or later.

The machinery is only as good as the operator, that goes for technology as well.

Wait a minute. Why on earth do we need "sweeping changes"? Human error should be the last resort when it comes to avoiding a collision involving some the most advanced pieces of machinery on earth. We are supposed to be able to detect a missile being launched from NK, make a decision how to respond, and then be able to shoot is down while it is flying at mach -----, and we can't figure out that we are on a collisions coarse with a floating city block? If that really is where we are with our detection systems on our ships, God help us.

Correct! Companies should have to train Canadians before they are allowed to get their staffing needs filled through immigration.

How about before we bring in more people we train Canadian young and unemployed so they can get jobs and contribute to society? Then after they are taken care of we can look to fill any remaining jobs with immigrants. Less of the job churn Morneau told Millennials to get used to.

The immediate and explicit threats made by Leftist politicians from Washington, Oregon, California, and the Obama administration to take away firearms and to marginalize the ability to access both ammunition and firearms was the single best driver of increased ownership of firearms-- it was truly amazing.

My distributors are still out of stock on them. I had no desire for one until the liberals started saying I don't need one. I guess they're right. I don't need one but as soon as they come back into stock, I'll own one. Gotta love this country!

The federal Liberals don't rule BC or Quebec. Don't you read the news?

The minister said we need more immigration to supply more jobs for existing Canadians? That's a lot of gall for Liberals to say when they just shut down the Western Canada energy industry. I guess this means the Liberal policy is to make existing Canadians subservient to these new richer immigrants the Liberals are wooing, who source of money is still very questionable and in many cases unknown.

So durn easy to get you to resort to weak insults Sylvia via lame ad hominem during a debate. Why do you demand of others what you are too lazy yourself to do? Easily Exposed.

I'm not the one making claims here, I contest the claims made, and you try to shift the burden of proof away. Why do you keep asserting what you can't defend and why do you demand your opponent meet a burden of proof you refuse to meet? You're under the age of 21, aren't you?

"Maybe make it to where at least a couple character witnesses need to come forward and vouch for the buyer." Seriously? The invasive background check isn't enough for you so now someone has to be dependent on a "character witness' in order to exercise a Constitutionally protected right? Sorry, but that's never going to fly.

I don't yet know the details of the shooter, but I'd be willing to bet it's someone who would be categorized as "unstable" mentally. So, maybe some sort of law making it harder for anyone to buy a gun. Maybe make it to where at least a couple character witnesses need to come forward and vouch for the buyer. What I do know for certain is that SOMETHING needs to change. You might think things are fantastic the way they are, but I do not anymore. I'm all for people having the right to defend themselves and their loved ones, but it is my personal belief that that right shouldn't be given to every single person who is a citizen in this country.

If you've ever read my posts before, I've said that slavery wasn't the only issue involved in the civil war. You are erring as much in the opposite direction. Your points show no research or thought. 1. Lincoln didn't start the war by ignoring Dred Scott. In fact, though he argued against it, he didn't do anything about it. 2. Buying slaves to free them wasn't an option in much of the south. In fact it had become illegal in many places. Before it was made illegal, there was a time when Quakers churches were some of the largest slave owners. They bought or took possession of slaves so that they could free them. This was very disturbing to southerners. 3. In 1861 there were 34 states. 15 were slave states. The free territories also outnumbered the slave territories. Although that is somewhat fuzzy as they weren't states yet, it could have changed. 4. Slave ownership. 1860 Census. 32% of white families in the south owned slaves. 46% in South Carolina, 49% in Mississippi.

Ridiculous. Allen E., who comments about the War from a Northern perspective would probably agree that Jones' analysis is arrogant, ignorant, and disingenuous. Both the North and the South were to blame for the War. Lincoln ignored settled law and Dred Scott to proscribe slavery; he avoided obvious solutions such as buying slaves rather horrible carnage to free them. Many issues including tariffs, slavery, cultural differences, greed, and desire for cheap Western land combined in a witches' brew which led to our nation's greatest tragedy. Slavery was quite legal in most states and all of the territories in 1861. It is quite unfair to project 2017 values on those who lived 156 years ago, especially in light of the willful ethnic cleansing and depredations which the North systematically employed against the South. Most Southerners were fighting to defend their homes and sovereign states against Yank invaders, not for slavery because most Southern soldiers didn't own slaves.

Those fast ferries were not only way over budget, they weren't effective because they could only go at their best speed when well away from the docks. So they were soon scrapped, one never got to do one run. Before they were built the ferry experts said they would not be effective, but the politicians emotionally stuck with wasting our money on them.

Only 50% over budget, what a deal! If I recall the NDP fast ferries and the new blue bridge in Victoria are about 100% over budget. And in both cases the governments were raving about the projects. The reason these projects go over budget is the government is involved.

Good question. Wonder how they are doing.

"Canada welcomed nearly 60,000 people in the refugee and protected persons program in 2016, thanks to the landmark Syrian refugee effort." And how are those folks doing? Have they settled? Have they found meaningful employment? Have they found housing that they can afford? Are they still collecting government welfare or are they self sufficient?

Neither a car or a gun can kill, on their own. "any moron can own one and misuse." Correct. It's the misuse of either a car or a gun that kills. And yet you would rather blame in inanimate object over the person misusing the object.

... that is old data you Are working off of. Gun deaths now out pace car deaths. Cars have been getting safer, guns aren't at all ... any moron can own one and misuse. As is evidenced by those that voted for Cheetolini, stupid people abound everywhere here in the USA and we haven't been able to fix dumb yet. Lots of Republicans shop at Walmart ... you seem to be eating yourselves.

I seem to remember a couple of wars that were fought (and won) vs the British so they would keep their noses out of our business. Take the hint limey, we dont care about your thoughts on our domestic affairs and we certainly don't want to follow your lead on anything, especially National Healthcare. Just because we saved Western Europe three times does not mean we want to be like y'all. We've done just fine without you people for 241 years, Britain, not so much.

Why doesnt someone stand up and say " Read my lips. Taxes pay for our children's schools, our hospitals , our police ? " Taxation is a wonderfully fair way to make America Great Again . Here in Britain we pay more tax than you guys but I went to uni for free and my health bills are tiny , mainly the parking at the hospital! :)

So what? What is your point? We have had *catechism* people and pastors for a thousand years. You offer no solutions - you just whine.

I agree that pastoral situations should be considered on their own merits. The problem is that the Catechism still says otherwise, and there are lots of pastors telling people they can't have the sacraments.

I'd say gun ownership today is due to a misunderstanding of the 2nd Amendment. We need to amend it again to specify that not all Americans have a "right" to own a personal arsenal and semi/auto weapons.

Guns? You mean those things listed as a right in the US Constitution? Owning a gun is a right. Driving a truck is a privilege. And I wasn't aware that you needed an FBI background check to buy a truck. "...we aren't looking for common sense gun control to stop every shooting just prevent most of them." Your error is that you think criminals will be affected one whit by the gun controls you want to pile onto the existing gun controls. Check out the website heyjackass(dot)com to see the results of strict state and local gun control laws. Leftists are frustrated that the Second Amendment exists. I understand. But either pass a constitutional amendment to change or eliminate it, or move to a country without the right to keep and bear arms. It's really that simple.

You damn near can't deduct your medical expenses anyway. They have to total 7.5% of your income, for most people, you would have to be seriously screwed up to pay that much in medical expenses, or really really poor.

Curtailing voices? Who's been curtailed? Fr. Weinandy doesn't seem to have any problem expressing himself or, for that matter, finding listeners. For what it's worth, I never bought in to the notion that Curran, Schillebeeckx, et al were silenced either. We throw around hyperbolic language quite a bit on this site. There are theologians and other thinkers living in totalitarian regimes who are truly silenced. But contrarian theologians and papal critics? Not so much. As long as they have breath and somebody willing to pay attention to them, they're free to say whatever they like.

In reading this piece, and the comments that follow....has anyone else noticed the hypocrisy very well evidenced? Many, many posters here have decried and gotten their knickers in a knot over Fr. Curran, Fr. Flannery, Bp.Morris, Fr. Reynolds (ironically sacked by Francis himself), and theologians "silenced" (a word many here have used) by PE Benedict... ...yet have no problem with curtailing voices asking for clarification and pointing out seemingly ambiguous statements from Pope Francis. Why is that? Where is the consistency in the criticism? or is it that if the one asking questions agrees with the left-wing, liberal, "progressive" ideology all is fine...and those poor voices were maligned and "silenced"; but don't dare question from a more traditional standpoint. Those voices must be removed and repressed. Does anyone see the hypocrisy? For that is surely what it is.

There was no informed consent given to search the residence. The person who allegedly gave consent was not in a position to lawfully give consent. That's why the officer conveniently couldn't "remember" who he spoke to. That amounts to an unlawful search and a violation of section 8 rights.

Your comment is true but not applicable in this case. No one's charter rights were violated.

Bob Zybach: Depending on what you mean by "...There are now far more trees spread over many thousands more acres in western Oregon than at any time in history.", e.g.: 1. The assertion's year certain baseline basis, 2. The number of trees in that year, 3. The number of trees now etc., this is, at best, an extraordinarily sketchy statement. Finally, are there url based data that prove this?

Jose: Thanks -- this is the best way to document differences & fuel discussions. The history of silviculture is thousands of years old, same as agriculture. A primary purpose in removing forests by Europeans was to provide grazing lands for their domestic animals. These animals represented food, transportation, companionship, wealth, & -- literally -- "horsepower." One reason American settlers were so attracted to the Willamette Valley is because the conifer forests had been cleared thousands of years ago by purposeful fire & kept mostly free of invasive trees through regular burning ever since -- creating millions of acres of grasslands for grazing animals by displacing the people & wild animals who previously lived here. This story is not unique to western Oregon & does not support the blanket deforestation/plantation narrative promoted by many anti-logging activists. There are now far more trees spread over many thousands more acres in western Oregon than at any time in history.

From a Wikipedia page on 'Terrorism' "Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror, or fear, to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim." I don't think he was attempting to achieve 'political, religious or ideological' goals.

So promises are just things that "can be changed as the need arises?" Great for expediency, I suppose, but an ethically bankrupt way to go through life.

Hick is a progressive, and as such he's for leveling the playing field so each has an equal measure throughout life, including retirement. In Hick's mind the public retirees need to take a cut so that the progressives can expand the social safety net for everyone. The courts have ruled that the PERA benefit is not contractual but a promise that can be changed as the need arises.

Again, just for you, benm: My overwhelming feeling on this is that anyone who is displeased by Canada or it's institutions is free to leave. At no time is anyone required to remain and endure the tortures of our free society.

Considering how quickly this regular pool of critical, overly fragile commenters jumps on every similar article, I can't help but conclude that they're either paid to do so or out of work & tf. even more of a drain on Canadian society than the subjects they so vehemently deride. I'd be concerned if the outrage wasn't so hilariously impotent. Go, guys, go!

But that is tax money that should have been spent in Alberta, we the people worked and earned that money and we want is spent in Alberta.

And Alberta, as a jurisdiction redistributed precisely the same amount. Perhaps you should actually understand fiscal federalism before telling others to get off of _their_ high horse.

Both parties have much to answer for but, in Hawaii, there is no one else to blame except Democrats who have been running the show for 50 years, even with a Republican governor. Explain your town butcher analogy, and I'll explain how Obama was even more unqualified than you think Trump is and how Hillary should be defending herself in court if not actually sitting in prison. "Hillary Clinton has a record of deadly foreign policy blunders, judgment so poor she effectively allowed U.S. adversaries to take state secrets, corruption so deep she feels no shame in receiving piles of money from countries with appalling human rights records, zealous advocacy for left-wing causes, and interest in stacking the Supreme Court with activist judges." http://thefederalist.com/2016/05/24/5-reasons-to-stop-kidding-yourself-that-hillary-is-better-than-donald/

Modern Republicans are just as corrupt as Democrats but at least they aren’t communists. Ronald Reagan brought in record tax receipts with his expansion of the economy due to his tax reductions. He simply did what John Kennedy did in the 1960’s. The Democrats, who controlled both houses, ignored the debt and simply spent the windfall. Just because the government gets more of your money doesn’t mean it is enough or will be spent wisely.

Oh, they care dearly about it until they get into office, then suddenly it no longer seems important. Look no further than their hero Saint Reagan, who obliterated the deficit/debt. Heck, even still, he raised taxes multiple times, something most R's hilariously don't realize.

bavius writes: "Trudeau and Morneau, both trust fund millionaires" -- You really should research these things before putting up your posts. The entire Trudeau Family Trust consists of $1.2 million, which generates income spread among all the surviving family members. Justin gets about $20k annually out of it. Accuracy counts. But research is so hard, isn't it?

Trudeau and Morneau, both trust fund millionaires, are raising taxes on the middle class and lower income brackets. Trump is cutting taxes for the middle class and lower income brackets. No wonder the MSM hates Trump. Trump is working for the people, not special interests.

..."-sin is our nature? Is that what you are saying?"... It seems to be recognized in the 'Adam and Eve myth' story that humans sin very easily. I find that to be true in my life. Don't you, in yours? I easily put my own momentary pleasure ahead of what my reason and knowledge tells me is my - or others - real good. That's pretty much what makes a 'sin', isn't it? That's just a part of the ordinary 'human nature' we are all born with.

So---sin is our nature? Is that what you are saying?

Quite passivist and fatalist. Why?

There are many issues altering climate change, just like they have been for eons. Politics didn't come into the picture until we had people declare, 'We can stop from happening'. Once again the climate is changing and all of the draconian rules, regulations, and taxes are not going to stop it.

Or the entire federal budget could be cut. Did you ever have to curb your spending in the real world? I wish I could just print all the money I wanted for every good deed I imagined. Instead we are buying everything we want with a credit card with our grandkids names on it. Good deal for us but too bad for them.

"because under the budget instructions, the planned tax cuts can’t increase the national debt by more than $1.5 trillion over the next decade. " Why increase debt at all? If the GOP really cared about American citizens, they'd pay for middle class tax cuts by increasing taxes on the rich. Instead, the rich stand to gain the most with these cuts. Just another giveaway to the GOP's real constituency.

Get over it ...if it doesn't work out the wilderness and Indians will take over...............

Yes, bears hibernate in the winter but elk, moose, wolves, deer, mountain sheep, wolverine etc. do not. Further, the very reason this proposal was advanced was for SUMMER skiing on the glacial snowfields. Grizzly, Black Bear and Grey Wolf populations in that area rely on many of the riparian and avalanche paths to hunt prey in the SUMMER I can think of few impacts that would be greater on these apex carnivores than a paved road, with hundreds of cars back and forth in the SUMMER. So, to be blunt, Jumbo's allure of SUMMER skiing is exactly why it is so potentially damaging to wildlife.

You're right--Indirectly, we do pay. I hope, there will be NO additional dollars for a legal fund. If the people want to spend band's money in challenging this, that's their right. We'll likely never know, as PM cancelled the "transparency" that would have had all Nations across Canada submit their expenditures every year. Story today re: RCMP response to shooting death of a FN boy. A year ago, the boy's mother and former chief of the band posed for a photo. Mother then reveals details of life in the family's modular home. It has no sewer hookup; there's a "field of raw sewage beneath the trailer." Mom said, "Our water's shut off. Our sewer's not hooked up…There are three broken windows that have not been fixed for two years." (G&M Oct, 2016.) This, about 150 K. west of Saskatoon. What's our money buying out there in the Red Pheasant reserve? "We've asked for help but we're talking to deaf ears," Ms. Baptiste said. Question: does the chief hear you, Ms. Baptiste?

Enbridge pays their lawyers, indian bands don’t, we do as taxpayers.

Weinandy's complaints against Francis reminded me of how dissenting views were marginalised and stamped upon during the two previous papacies. Jesus' words came to mind: "How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? ...." (Luke 6:42)

All I could think of as this story came to an end was this: The Pharisees and Sadducees came and, to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He said to them in reply, “In the evening you say, ‘Tomorrow will be fair, for the sky is red’; and, in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you cannot judge the signs of the times. An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then he left them and went away. (Matthew 16:1-4)

The record shows otherwise. As more people carry, gun violence has actually gone down. And it hasn't turned our cities into chaos. Except for the gang-related gun crime in the cities that have the strictest gun control laws. Laws only affect those who obey laws. There have been several surveys of hardened criminals in our prison system, and the thing they fear most is an armed citizen. They try to avoid them. Nearly all attacks like this are at "gun free zones." Most NRA members and gun owners are well-trained in their responsibilities and do not panic. Many of us are veterans. One of the safest places you can be is at a gun show, where guns are all around you.

Read the sister article "Panicked people, shoppers drawing guns created chaos, delayed investigation into Thornton Walmart shooting." Your assumptions about gun presence are not correct.

Why do you think the NDP were left with only two seats the last time they were in power?

And Ms Schley is off base in stating that Russia is a "proven enemy", this after a long investigation the only proof of collusion found by Mueller was the Clinton machine paying the Russians for dirt on Trump. There is zero evidence of Russia doing anything aside from a lousy $150K in facebook advertising. At worst, Trump will be exposed for using Russian mob money to finance one of his fabulous hotels. This new McCarthyist bent liberals are foaming about their figurative mouths over is a waste of time, energy, and effort. Furthermore the DNC leadership purging progressives who supported Ellison and Sanders in the name of diversity is true treachery.

Over ten years. That $150B/yr. A mere bag of shells to what Obama added in debt per year.

"I believe gun owners killing themselves remains pretty constant 2/3..." I doubt you have any problem at all sleeping at night knowing that some gun owners kill themselves. In fact, I'm sure you celebrate every time it happens and wish it would happen more.

I believe gun owners killing themselves remains pretty constant 2/3, but murder suicides would be part of that stat ... what is UP is those that die from those that have guns wrong place wrong time ... 38000 annually is a BIG NUMBER ... but one that no matter the growing stat, won't impress gun owners in the least. More guns is their ONLY solution.

Trump has had zero effect on the American economy. It’s fallacy to credit Trump with any economic gains. All credit goes to Obama who took America out of the crash of 2008 and instituted job creation plans ( which was his election plank). The stock market is doing well because companies are sitting on vast amounts of cash, much of it in safe jurisdictions overseas. Most major companies are waiting for the Republican tax proposals to take effect. Let’s talk in 3 years to objectively assess Trump’s effect on the American economy. And honestly ask yourself as a Trump supporter if your life has improved economically. I don’t see how it will help those in the lower/middle class.

President Trump’s MAGA is having a good effect in Canada? Since Trump it’s been nothing but great news. I don’t listen to the nay sayers at the CBC,CTV,G&M,STAR all those leftist news outlets I see the effects of President Trump and I like it ! Trudeau has no proof he’s done anything good for Canada - he wants pot legalized - what the hell is that all about? He wants more refugees and those who walk across the boarder he doesn’t send them home - are they part of the “unemployed” ? Selfies, stupid look on his face (cause he knows he knows squat). The numbers reflect increase demands in the US and we do lots of business with them so our business will be busier thanks to President Trump !

This "feel-good" piece, as you put it, was merely a list of VERY subjective opinions from various people on why they thought people move to and from Seattle. Many people move AWAY from Seattle when they realize how bloated government taxes, regulations, and costs are-- and saying so doesn't make it "political BS." Seattle is a good fit for you, however: instead of refuting what was said in my post, you instead turned to your feelings, which is the reason Seattle has so many of the bloated government costs they have today. Instead of asking "does this DO good," your local government asks, "Does this FEEL good?" That's pretty much what it came down to for you, Andy: your "feelings" were hurt, and you wouldn't stand for that, would you. Signed, An Alaskan who could not care less that you live in Seattle.

Way to ruin a feel good, interesting piece with political BS. Seemingly can't escape it anywhere. Signed, former Alaskan living in Seattle.

Thank you President Obama. In reality, although it's great jobs are added, it's unfortunate that it's because of tragedy (and tax payers are paying for it -- a hurricane stimulus). These hurricanes would have happened regardless who the president is, so this job bump would have occurred regardless.

Where are all the Obama-lovers who every month where job growth was positive, came out and said "Thank You President Obama."

Btw-I realized later where you were going with this. The EITC's. Yes, you are correct. Folks with ITIN's cannot get those tax credits. I went into Child Tax Credits, without being clear that I was. I stand corrected for the confusion.

Per your usual, you have conflated several unrelated groups, ideas, and/or concepts to make your false point. All income earned in the United States is subject to income tax, whether it was earned illegally (e.g. Al Capone) or earned by an illegal immigrant. Illegal immigrants have received tax credits, just like all other taxpayers. There is no separate tax code for illegal immigrants. Your Turbo Tax piece is irrelevant, as whether one is a citizen or not has no bearing on ones obligation to pay taxes under the U.S. tax code. Children living abroad are verifiable. Whether the United States chooses to verify such, is another matter. You are as simple as they come and know relatively zero about taxation in the United States.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Canadian youth, and LGBTQ individuals are disproportionately represented. I agree that we have bigger problems in Canada, but troubled youth isn't petty or insignificant. It's one of a raft of problems that need to be addressed.

I dont know about anyone else, but I am sick and tired of these petty and insignificant issues which form the pet projects of the political elites. Surely we have bigger problems here in Canada. Enoug already..

"No sympathy for the Friar." To be honest neither do I. But I also didn't have any sympathy for Elizabeth Johnson and yet she was made to be the ultimate victim of "hierarchical church oppression."

No sympathy for the Friar. He violated the Franciscan rule for one thing and violated his vow of obedience while doing so. And, to put it in secular terms. He publicly dissed the owner and CEO of his company. He was justly fired for doing so. Funny thing is, had these sorts of things happened under JPII or Benedict, not only would he have been fired, but probably been suspended from active ministry, but also have been silenced or expelled from his community.

Those, too. Mostly I'm remembering a recent episode where Hammond brought a Porche (of course), May brought a Ferrari, and Clarkson brought a McLaren. He went on a bit about it trying to kill him, but it was Hammond who really had some trouble. Oddly though, they both liked the car.

I thought that it was Lamborghini that had the reputation of building automobiles that tried to kill you the first chance it got. Not unlike the old Porsche 930 Turbo.

"...as most immigrants tend to concentrate to cities where there are already a strong community..." Suspect that is still true. But more of them are leaving there for places like...Saskatoon. G&M article a few days ago gives recent statistics that reveal a definite trend...Immigrants are leaving B.C., especially Lower Mainland, for smaller and more affordable towns and cities. Specifically--In BC's case--the prairies. The reason is obvious: they can't afford to live in BC. And that includes small-town B.C., the Chilliwacks, the Kelownas and Vernons, where new 1,500 sq. ft. rancher homes START at $615,000. Many, many new larger homes in Saskatoon for under $400,000.

Immigration needs to be targeted in the many cities in Canada that are desperate for people - i.e. New brunswick/NF&L/Regina/ Saskatoon/etc. THESE are the cities where more immigrants would be a boom for, however this is not the reality as most immigrants tend to concentrate to cities where there are already a strong community of their respective culture is, I.e. Toronto/Vancouver- and to a lesser extent Montreal. Toronto has TOO many people, the city just cannot handle more people until the city gets its shit together and invest in infrastructure/transit/JOBS/affordable housing. That is what is going to happen and that would not be good for the many people struggling to get work/afford to live in TO/VCR/MTL

That's funny! Nothing like a bunch of sarcasm hitting at the leftwing racism-criers about how everything is racist. Identity politics by the left has reached a new low.... Thanks for the laugh. It was sarcastic, wasn't it?

It's not rocket science people, it's white supremacy. Nothing riles up Trump's cult like pointing out the "spoiled" "ungrateful" "undeserving" "boys" who make a lot of money as successful atheletes. The fact that many of them have come from nothing and worked harder than Trump or any of his goonish offspring to get where they are is never touched on.

Could you be more of a jihadist apologist ?

Simple. The death penalty was eliminated in civilised countries many years ago. Somehow the American love of revenge and slaughter has kept it in the US. As to sending the guy to Guantanamo Bay or declaring him an "enemy combatant", that's just silly. I'm not sure that the term "enemy combatant" has any validity in American civil law or even military courts in the US and I'm even more doubtful that Trump could legally send anybody to Gitmo bypassing the American legal system. The only way prisoners got to Guantanamo Bay was being spirited away from battlefields in controvention of international and US law. Apart from that you're quite right :-)

"On February 27, 1849 Bishop became accepted as a citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaii." (wiki) He arrived in 1847, and died in 1915. So, if I have this right, you might say this makes him 2/68 ths foreigner and 64/68 ths Hawaiian. However, in the time period you are referring to he was 100% a Hawaiian citizen, not a foreigner.

Mr Bishop's wife was not a foreigner although Mr Bishop in fact was a foreigner. Federal law rules, not Kingdom law, when it comes to who is deemed owner of objects regardless of which ali'i line donated it.

I can only talk to my personal experiences. I am the provider of a family of four. I have been their provider for nearly 20 years and my costs were at least affordable. My expenses have increased more than 5 fold since 2010. I agree it wasn’t perfect before Obama took office, but at least I could provide for my family. What Obama has done is unaffordable and is breaking the backs of many middle class Americans like me.

Wait, you don't think our healthcare was a mess before Obama? The republicans need to blame Obama on everything while ignoring their own parties current disaster is simply hilarious.

If he was asked to do something truly illegal or violates the Geneva Convention, I can see disobeying. Sounds like this clown was just on the job and didn't want to be because he saw mistakes being made by his superiors. Uh, duh. Yeah, some in the military are pretty dumb. What you do is try to make it better. Go to someone who's in charge of them that'll listen to logic, if Bergdahl had a viable complaint. I did it many times and the problem was removed. What's comical is that he says their orders were putting his troops in danger. Deserting puts your fellow troops in danger! One day we might actually have a real situation where the war's legit, and that kind of behavior like Bergdahl can weaken our defense.

"Superior orders, often known as the Nuremberg defense, lawful orders or by the German phrase Befehl ist Befehl ("only following orders", literally "an order is an order"), is a plea in a court of law that a person—whether a member of the military, law enforcement, a firefighting force, or the civilian population—not be held guilty for actions which were ordered by a superior officer or an official. The superior orders plea is often regarded as the complement to "command responsibility." One of the most noted uses of this plea, or defense, was by the accused in the 1945–1946 Nuremberg trials, such that it is also called the "Nuremberg defense". It was during these trials, under the London Charter of the International Military Tribunal which set them up, that the defense of superior orders was no longer considered enough to escape punishment..." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders ) It seems like such oaths are fraught when the war objectively trends immoral and illegal.

I will say that after serving both in the military and as an elected official in a small town, convincing an individual to go against orders or what the government/media tells them is difficult. I look at our last presidential election and the current state of the republic as a prime example. Trump as a Strong arm Republican candidate from the outside, Democratic party blatantly sidelining Sanders as a potential threat to the Clinton campaign. Yet we still have brainwashed masses clinging to both parties and attempting to justify their actions. If you expect the members of the military to act strategically outside orders handed down from above it would take a coordinated coup and we have good evidence throughout history of how well thats gone for the general populous. So kudos to you if you have that much faith but having been inside and looking out I would advise you that it is not warranted.

I was with you right up until the last sentence. Two-thirds of Americans do not even own a gun. There is no weapon on this earth that would protect you from the United States military if they decided to come after you, which in my opinion is simply outrageous anyway. The military is comprised of our family and friends and overseen by a duly elected government.

In your own words "perhaps". You are speculating. By doing this and not basing your support of the legislation on facts you could be placing an at risk teen in more danger. Will there be a parent of a LGBT teen who has committed suicide saying, "If I only knew."?????

Exactly. It is kids of these parents who are actually afraid of their parent's knowing what they are going through. They fear (perhaps legitimately) that their parents are NOT going to support them.

INCORRECT. The laws applicable have to do with foreign support of activity that is illegal, possible seditious. Don't try to narrow it to Trump campaign looking for Hillary ILLEGAL actions! The Russians were publishing lies to try to influence our election, AND hacking our emails and election systems. Any activity in furtherance of those crimes is illegal.

"Collusion is an agreement... to obtain an objective forbidden by law...." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collusion No matter how hard you try to torture the English language to make it seem otherwise, a willingness -- even enthusiastic willingness -- to receive evidence of Clinton criminality from any source is neither "collusion" nor improper.

Robert Mueller realizes that he's being exposed as someone who should've recused himself. Now, he's going after the low hanging fruit from the Democrat Party. He'll nail one of them with a slap on the wrist and call it a day. Afterwards, people will say, "What about Russia collusion with Obama and Clinton selling 10% of our uranium to them?" Tight-lipped Mueller will say that the investigation is over.

That's no justification to pursue idiotic proposals, ….witness Trump. The pipe dream is not economically feasible. No LNG project. Stop wasting millions pushing idiotic failed proposals.

I`m pretty sure most of the 138,000 Alaskans who voted to build our own gasline would disagree with your election prediction, even more so if you and the rest of the gasline naysayers are proven wrong, in the run-up to November, about the chances of the project`s success. This Alaskan is hopeful and praying hard that the Governor and President return to the states with good news that will do much to fix the huge trade imbalance we have with China. And China/Asia is already Alaska`s largest trading partners, so let`s continue to show them free and fair enterprise is the best course of action to keep a peaceful and prospering relationship, and to fend off nationalistic jingoism.

If trump doesn't want to be "miscomprehended," he should shut his mouth, since most of what comes out of it is incomprehensible garbage. Besides, the issue here is his apparent belief that being potus is the same as being king. When asked today about the vacancies in the state department, the narcissistic buffoon said, "I'm the only one that matters."

Again, you've managed to miscomprehend how Trump speaks. So, when it does happen and when Trump does make the decision to force him out, then, it is as you say, till then, it is speculation and currently an attempt to illustrate the possibilities. After all, if the FBI or DOJ is not going to get to the root of the DEMS issues, there is a definite problem and we need to find somebody that will go after the riff-raff.

Under Obama there was more leniency which meant that police had more discretion in inquiring about a person's citizenship and in notifying the immigration authorities who also had more discretion on deporting people. As well there was more consideration regarding breaking up families where children, being born in the US, were US citizens.

Although Trump has talked a lot about deportations, the number of deportations are actually down from last year — from an average 20,000 deportations per month in 2016 under Obama to an average of 16,900 since the start of Trump’s presidency. This woman could have just as easily been deported under Obama as under Trump. However if she had been deported under Obama there would be no Globe and Mail article about her.

guess what...you're talking about it, all i really wanted. despite your tone, i actually learned from all of your perspectives.

This. Exactly this. I drive from Denver to the Springs four or five times a year. I always have more than one destination in that city. Why on earth would I eschew an hour-and-a-half car ride for a train? Yeah, maybe the train takes only an hour. So what? What the heck am I supposed to do when it drops me at the station? Take a taxi or ride share service to the places I need to go? This idea is insane. If these train enthusiasts want to cobble together private funding to realize their dream then fine. But keep the taxpayers off the hook for yet another pie-in-the-sky, virtue signalling, 150-year-old technology, over priced and under utilized choo-choo train boondoggle.

I equate 'political correctness' with fear. It is ostrich-like behavior. If you eliminate all references to things you hate/dislike/fear they can never harm you. Unfortunately for them, that is not reality.

I am convinced political correctness is a mental illness that is void of intelligence, cognitive reasoning, logic, and common sense. They remind me much of Pentecostal Christians.

Walker has cut the State workforce by about 4% since he came in office, BTW we would still be running a deficit if the budget was cut in half. You appear to be as math challenged as Pete Kelly

Impeach Hillary? You mean like this? http://prospect.org/article/impeachment-hillary-clinton

The reason you thought that is "your bad" alright. "2. The allegations that you just said were false." What that means is that I can read, and understand that "allegations" are neither true nor false, but are a series of alleged (note the root) events and/or actions that if shown to be factual can lead to a conclusion. If that conclusion happens to be that someone has broken the law, then there are hearings and arguments and presentations and firings and pardons and all manner of shenanigans. Perhaps you can point out to us all where I said I believed anything to be true. Or is that going to be just another "my bad" for us to see here, another "mistakes were made". You're really racking' 'em up, Bill.

klastri, As a lawyer, even if not a trial lawyer, you well know that evidence and concerns that should never enter into deliberations do in fact make a difference in the real world. Speaking just to civilian criminal proceedings, not every trial where a defense objection is sustained and a judge instructs a jury to ignore testimony ends in a mistrial. However, things once said and heard cannot be unsaid and unheard - no matter what the admonishment. By extension, it is likewise not unreasonable to suggest the judge's penalty decision in this case was influenced by President Obama's declaration (as Commander in Chief) that gaining Bergdahl's freedom amounted to adhering to the noble doctrine of "leave no man behind." A relatively light sentence would be entirely consistent with this viewpoint. Frankly, I've noted extralegal "justice" applied many times. An example revived recently was OJ Simpson's minimum prison sentence for robbery. Payback? Do you disagree it was so?

You know something (anything?) about what facts the judge considered? You actually have some evidence, of any kind, that the Colonel thought about President Obama? That is actually what you are suggesting?

Murder doe not equal murder. If that were the case there would not be such a thing as manslaughter or accidental death. Murder is to kill with malice, without reason or unlawfully. The death penalty does not fit that definition but nice try.

Murder equals murder. The death penalty is murder. Murdering a murderer is murder. Enacting the death penalty takes place with murder by a murderer. What you advocate for is murder. If we enabled you control over these individuals and you murder them, you are no better than them.

It is because it is effectively a monopoly. Health care outcomes have not improved much since the 1980s. Providers just charge you 10x since the government does not regulate them.

I know. Our costs are out of control.
