Donna, I suspect that you, like myself, have never been contacted by any of these "reputable" pollsters and have never had your opinion solicited by these supposed "opinion makers". So we'll just keep on supporting the man who singlehandedly toppled BOTH Left and Right sides of The Swamp, when all the talking heads said it was impossible and laughed at him...and us. Stay Strong!!!

So they want housing and then complain when the city decides to go ahead with low-cost housing development plans..

And your example completely backfired. Deflection much?

I for one am sick and tired of the racist and bigot cards just because you don’t like a a person or group. I work with Muslim’s, Jews , Hindus and just about everything in between and what they do is there own business. What I do care about is how pathetic politicians have become in the last decade jumping on any band wagon to get a few votes. For example take bill 24 that the NDP are about to pass,they hid behind the LGBTQ to justify it and yet all it does is take away parental rights. What parent or relative of a child would drop them off at a place where they would never know what is happening behind those closed doors. If your child was having thoughts about hurting themselves you would never know because the teachers are bound by an unconstitutional law that’s says they can’t tell you. When government goes after childern and bullies people at the same time they say they are trying to stop bullying.its time for Canadians to wake up and remind MLA’s who the boss.

The rot in SA cANCer is deep, unsurpassed deep to survive without proper action.

"The Trudeau government has responded with a carefully calibrated response: stating that women have the right to dress as they want. . . " But don't the rest of us have the right to be free of people wearing masks in our midst?

He's an embarrassment to humanity. Semper Fi my eye.

Indeed, the God of the Old Testament is simply not credible as the Father of Christ. The Old Testament is largely bat-sh*t-crazy. Richard Dawkins said it best: "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." Christ, whether you believe in his divinity or not, was altogether different, and apart from loving the aforementioned bully, a wonderful model by which we'd all do better to pattern our own lives. Roughly 99.99% of so-called "Christians" don't do that, unfortunately.

It's hard to tell if you had a point in trying to rebut what I posted or to support it. The New Deal was one of America's highest achievements in fighting the economic depression, and resulted in saving millions of families. Of course the government paid for it. That's the point. We should have done the same thing after the Bush-GOP Great Recession.

The women went on record with their names. I'm sure they are willing to testify. We can't very well get rid of this pig without a hearing, because he sure as hell won't step down on his own.

This has nothing to do with Obama, who as CIC, hardly could be accused of war on the military. You are as insubordinate as you are ignorant.

He was a thief !

The true extent of this whole Hollywood dama will never be exposed. A concern I have about this whole sordid business is whether it is OK for half naked actresses to drape themselves over influential actors and directors with their boobs hanging out, openly admit to using cocaine and other drugs, appear in explicit sex scenes in movies and who come out years later claiming sexual abuse by those same horrible actors and directors who, those years ago, they were all draped over. Does it speak to their character? just asking?

theres a great big empty prison out near Palmer..... No new one needed.

Billionaire Larry Ellison's Ohana Airline Holdings sold the airline to a local investment fund in early 2016.

The law is clear - no covering your face. Doesn't matter what religion one is, you must be able to communicate with the rest of our society.

Take note. Bergdahl will probably have his conviction reversed due to the meddling of Commander In Chief Turnip.

amazon here would hurt residents more than it would benefit. most of the positions will be filled by people from out of state, and maybe 50% of those from out of state will be from another country (H1B visa IT workers). real estate will get even tighter. denver doesn't need it, it already has a very low unemployment rate. leave amazon to a smaller city.

Any driver that runs over a pedestrian deserves an automatic life sentence. No exceptions.

If you think that's Econ 101, you apparently did not earn a passing grade. If your claim were true, there'd be no vacant commercial buildings in distressed neighborhoods. Get out and look around a bit. Things don't work that way.

Good to know that you can assess the veracity of MULTIPLE victims without ever having met them or read more that a brief news blurb. No more need of judges and juries with you around. Can you drop by my place one evening? I can't figure out which of my cats keeps tipping over the water dish, and your power of determining guilt and innocence would be VERY helpful.

Alabama Evangelical Voters Don't Care How Many Underage Girls Roy Moore Molested-- Here's Why From rape to who got abortions, to how evangelical churches protected their pedophile molesters, one story emerged: Protect the 'Work' at all costs! The children who a pastor rapes are told to keep silent less they 'Hurt the Lord’s Work.' And the children are blamed: 'Your skirt was too short! You led him astray!' There's never any acceptance that a pervert walks among them.

If our President wants a sexual companion, all he has to do is grab them by the "kitty".

Doesn't really reduce heat. Blacktop, or pavement, absorbs and retains heat more capably than roofs. Uses more water in a water resource scarce climate, on rooftops with no shade over the plants, resulting in a faster evaporation cycle for water. It may or may not be good for the environment, there's much in play with that. The soil doesn't absorb moisture, like it would at ground level, so any excess is drained off and added to the water treatment system. Not being able to have deep roots, using fertilizers, it will likely be an issue the public won't be aware of. Similar to the ethanol mandate (on a smaller level), with drainoff really messing up the Mississippi delta flowing out to the gulf. But it feels good.... for some to say something's being done for the environment. If it's about oxygen and air quality, it would make more sense to mandate property owners plant a large tree every 100 feet of property line. It would also be less expensive, initially and in lifetime costs.

I now choose to live life as a biblical character.

Be honest... Who amongst us doesn't have a secret fantasy of peeing on terrorists? I'm willing to bet that American Muslims even share that fantasy. The marine should be given a golden metal.

NDP are not an egalitarian party in any sense. There are the closest party to comunsin/totalitarian government that you can get and still be called democratic.

Don't feed the trolls.

The correct word is "had". There's no other way that the City can do it. Saiki has an obligation to provide funding. He shouldn't hold it against the City. This is an important investment in our future.

I'm with Dan. A trial has WITNESSES, too, and it's reasonable to give a judge and/or jury a chance to decide if they are credible. From what I know so far, this guy was a lech and a molester, and he supplied alcohol to underage girls much younger then himself, with pretty obvious objectives for physical gratification. Or it's all a vast left-wing conspiracy, as I'm sure ANYONE on Fox or Breitbarf can confirm. A trial could help discover the truth. Certainly more than any number of comments here can do.

Mary and Joseph are fictional characters; Roy Moore is real.

Unless the apple trees grow dollar bills they don't produce more than $100 worth of fruit. Apparently you have never tried to grow apples in Alaska.

sloter is currently the vikings backup qb. bradford is injured, so he's 2nd on the depth chart rn.

Thanks for the reference to Market Growth GIC's. I wasn't familiar with this kind of product. On first scan, they look kind of interesting.

Well, apparently I did read it and you did not. Try pulling it up online and reading it. You cannot substitute solar panels for the entire requirement. Even if you install solar, a minimum of 30 percent of the required area MUST be green roofed. Now you can take your uncivil and uninformed attitude back, and educate yourself on what this harmful measure actually mandates, and then come back and be more civil.

Often, profitable businesses are located in distressed neighborhoods due to decreased land cost, ever heard of Yankee stadium?

Read Imbelli in First Things on this (MSW links to it today), as well as Evangelii Gaudium. When you become pope, we will ask you your opinion on whether this heresy or not. As it is, this is an observation of how the Church really does business and has been for at least 30 years and probably much longer than that. Heresy, by the way, is not a spiritual issue. It is all group dynamics and best explained by sociology. The sociology of the Church has changed since your ideal time. We are not shifting back just because you object. If you enjoy feelings of superiority, don't let me keep you from your fun, but realize its all about you, not the Church. The Church is fine but you are depriving yourself of its unity.

I am amazed at how many among us here in South Africa are completely without sin. A sign of a good leader is one who can admit they have made a mistake and then move on, having learnt from that mistake. This Blade has done. Rather than casting stones, we should now be applauding him for having realised that he has made mistakes, and that he has had the courage to admit this. Keep moving in the direction of right over wrong, of good over evil. I wish you all of the best Blade!!!

Roy Moore isn’t the abusive anomaly, he’s the patriarchal norm. This goes back to the Bible itself that puts brutal men in charge of churches where women must be silent. Voices raised in protest are exiled. Moore is a poster boy for evangelicals like Ralph Reed, who should be in jail for double dealings with the casino owners. He’s a poster boy for the professional hater Franklin Graham. Moore with his gun-waving, Bible-quoting is no different in hypocrisy than is Sarah Huckabee, as she quotes Jesus with one side of her mouth and lies for Trump daily out of the other. AWAY with these scum! Take back the House in 2018.

Do you know what a sexual predator is? Bill Clinton is a sexual predator. He did much worse than kissing. Hillary Clinton protected him. Did you support them? Are you a terrible person too? Your innuendo that I am “terrible people” because I am not talking the political bait you have eagerly swallowed, is another example of rushing to judgement.

So who called out Notley when she said Catholics don’t have consensual sex. Is that coded language for male Catholics are rapists? The fact that she wouldn’t aknowledge what she says puts her as a bigot and racist?

Well then imagine our surprise when for some reason, contrary to you unfounded confidence, we somehow still can find abandoned buildings in distressed neighborhoods. Why is that? This initiative is bad news for struggling neighborhoods where they're not building big new shiny buildings. It is sure to lead to more abandoned buildings when struggling owners lose their business tenants because they can't afford the exorbitant cost of replacing the aging roof with a freakin' garden. Own up to it.

Congratulations to these student athletes on reaching their goals. Some may be receiving a full athletic scholarships, partial athletic scholarships, academic scholarships, financial aid or athletic grant in aid, they all will continue perusing their dream of competing on the next level and continuing their schooling. Good Luck!

I really don't know. I imagine that there are some services which are not duplicated being a city and county. In fact, I believe that was the reason Denver became a city and county in 1902. I really became aware of this when checking out property taxes in Colorado Springs. Yes, their city property taxes were lower than here in Denver, but then they also had county property taxes which caused their total property tax bill to be nearly double of what we pay in the City and County of Denver.

Not_if_we_are_with_the_Pope.

the difference is we didn't share a long open border with those countries.

With each new class of recruits, the dept should get cleaned up. Bottom up reform. And if any whistleblowers get harassed the chief should be ready and willing to help them. These are the future leaders of the Honolulu Police Department

Our own legislators looked at the possibility of overturning Amendment 64. Luckily for them, they decided against it.

This article is sexist.

"Bimbo eruptions." Hillary Clinton

Too bad there isn't a courtroom video. Did everyone in the courtroom burst out laughing? That would be a hilarious thing to witness.

If relations are downgraded SA would be the loser for multiple reasons. The Israelis are not concerned with gesture politics. The only downside is to Sa Jewish community since it would give the go ahead for more anti semitism from the ANC and EFF.

It's prosecution out to lunch as usual. One of those huge, table creaking, all-you-can-eat take home buffets; but by invitation only...

I was a child about 50 years ago. I stepped out onto the street without looking and a car ran over my foot and lightly bumped me. It was my fault but I was lucky. Bruises went away in a few days. But in your world that poor driver would still be in jail. Suggest you think for more than 3 seconds before you comment. That way you might not look so ignorant.

Did you honestly miss the entire "drought resistant plants, once per year fertilization and weeding, as well as 5% reduction in heating and cooling." You do realize what a water retention system does, right? Store water and reuse. That's literally what they are designed to do. When you claimed all plants need deep roots you pretty much admitted your ignorance. You do this for a living, huh?

You get what you vote for and Berkowitz is about as tough on crime as Rahm Emmanuel.

JT-a special piece in the cesspool.

The guy that knows more about this subject than you. Sorry. I speak from experience and knowledge. Reading something doesn't mean one is knowledgeable on a subject. I've been around some highly ambitious people, yet, they weren't immune to failure. They took shortcuts and didn't examine things long enough, or thoroughly enough. A few were running large organizations. They still flopped.

Mlandu is a racist fool. He has minimal support and wants to dictate. He is also incomprehensible. What does “For us to sit here with no nuance is a betrayal of intellectualism.” actually mean? And Connie September politicking when her party has no representation in the SRC at all.

Dominican priest George Dyer sexually molested me multiple times in the late 60s and early 70s. He coerced me, a special needs child, to invite other boys to meet him so he could abuse them. Over ten years ago, the Dominicans offered to pay for my mental health therapy. Recently, I asked the Domicans to pay for mental health therapy to help me deal with the issues that still linger with me due to the sexual abuse. The Dominican Church refuses to guarantee that they will pay for mental health therapy for me, They imply that IF they pay for it, that it will be limited. The harm caused by the sexual predator, George Dyer, has lasted a lifetime. The Dominicans protected a serial pedophile. Although he is now dead, they continue to protect him.

Another car/driver hating story from the lefties at the G&M. Because we all know there is just no way that a pedestrian could ever be at fault in car/pedestrian collision.

Canada is filled with Christian Supremacists.

How would a struggling owner pay for the remodel or expansion of the building? The qualifying factor that would enforce the law upon existing buildings. Enlighten me.

China has badly polluted air from burning dirty coal. That filth even makes its way far from China. Some of that pollution gets deposited in Alaska after being carried here by the jet stream. Helping China burn clean natural gas is a positive step. There will be less mercury, lead, thorium, strontium, and other highly toxic metals being dumped into our atmosphere. Alaska gas should be part of this effort given our proximity to China, and our need to monetize our vast gas resource. Gov. Walker deserves credit for advancing the project to this point.

Wrong, no equivalence to the ludicrous absurdities we're seeing in a constant stream from the right. Comparing child molesting to any of your examples is an indefensible attempt at normalizing one of the most horrible crimes, all for the sake of propping up your political ideology. Party over country. Sad. And then the guy saying the Virgin Mary justifies Roy Moore molesting a child, for you to defend this is a complete absence of moral compass.

Jesus did not condemn the polygamous Jacob but relied on what he had told Moses in the Burning Bush that he was the God of Jacob and that Jacob was among the living. Quite confusing cultural mores, including the sexual ones, with eternal doctrine. Pederasty cries to Heaven for vengence because it steals youth. Adult homosexuality is not in the same ballpark, especially if God created some males that way, like for instance Bl John Cardinal Newman, who was buried with his lover in the Cathedral. When they tried to separate the bones because small minded idiots were yelling scandal they found it impossible to do so. Love wins out.

Yet, you clearly don't have experience. Stating non factual plant root requirements and even liking a comment that stated "a garden must be installed" even though that too isn't factual. The only thing you've shown to have experience in is non- factual statements.

Riding a bike in the rain just isn't that difficult. I'm an old man and a bit of rain doesn't stop me or my equally old spouse from riding. It doesn't even stop our three- and five-year-old grand-daughters, whom we pick up daily from pre-school on bikes. Perhaps you are descended from the Wicked Witch of the West and must be careful to not get wet, but the rest of us do just fine with fenders and rain gear. As to those sub-zero days, it's only an issue if ice forms on the roads, which happens only a handful of days per year. If it happened more often, it would be worth investing in appropriate gear for that (bikes come with studded tires too, you know). We do agree that ODOT wastes money. However, I suspect that what I call waste you call worthy road work. Did we really need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars building several bridges, some temporary, just so we don't have to lower the GVW limit on I-5 to the national standard of 40 tons?

It's the government's fault with all their illegal parking spaces. Parking fines are nothing but a hwy robbery by the State. People have a problem the state should not create more of problem for them, they should help to solve it. There should be no parking on major street what so ever. Traffic is too congested in the GTA just creates stress and pedestrians come out from between parked cars and drivers can not see them. There should be free parking on side streets to allow people to park. Toronto is too congested because of corrupt city planners. One-ways streets blocking out entire neighbourhoods is another problem.

Ooops I thought this was going to be about winning the ladies.

Have you not yet taken time to read the very initiative you're defending here? "A garden MUST be installed" is factual. Read the dang ordinance and educate yourself on what you're supporting. There is a requirement that a minimum of 30 percent of the required roof space MUST be green roof garden. You cannot completely substitute solar for the green roof requirement. Stop questioning this truth and read the ordinance.

So, what is drunk tweeting?

Except that there's separate corroboration that's coming out. And corroboration of first person testimony is indeed evidence. Just because it's timed the way it is doesn't ipso Darco make it untrue.

The Sunday Times won't ever nominate itself as its 'Mampara of the Week'. On Sunday Danny Jordaan was the Mampara for not responding to Jennifer Ferguson's allegations, which legally, was inadvisable - typical of the media, it sees the mote in other people's eyes but not the splinter in its own. Like most of the local printed and Internet media, (including DM), ST is politically correct, self-righteous and its standard has almost visibly declined in months.

"Must be installed on all new structures and must be installed on exsisting structures for a permit to be approved for a remodel or expansion." Did you read the full innovative?

It's funny to use a sports stadium as an example. The Chargers moved from San Diego, even though the land they were on is the cheapest in the San Diego area. It's no more relevant to this than Yankee Stadium. Some buildings will require costly upgrades to their structures before adding in installation and operating costs of a rooftop garden. Well said, Al.

Typical. You ask for something impossible then complain when the authorities try something. The point is there can never be anything for nothing and manipulating market forces ends in tears. The long and short of it is that when people who have nothing want somethingg, some one else has to pay, so the question is who pays and who benefits. Take the whining about "richer areas" and Sea Point. Isn't it obvious that if you are getting something for nothing or highly subsidized you are not in a position to demand what other people are paying through the nose for. The aregunent about living where you work makes no sense. Imagine every waiter working in a Mayfair restaurant demanding account ideation in the most exoensive area of London. Same applies to New York, where working people live in corridors and haven't got time to demand football pitches. The difficulties the authorities have in finding solutions arise from the expectations and entitlements encouraged by activists and NGIs.

How about the word "denial?" You know it's not just a river in Egypt...

Given what the ANC has achieved in SA, getting them involved in the Israeli-Palestinian process promises only one thing - disaster. They have no credibility to suggest to anyone what to do. Given that they also promote progressive internationalism (their own words) they arguably have their own agenda and can not possibly claim to be a disinterested party to such a process. One thing though, isolate the Holy Land and the ANC alienates themselves from millions of SA's own people who practice their Jewish or Christian faith. Not that the ANC hasn't done so already.... nothing that can't be rectified as soon as the ANC is in the dustbin.

They wouldn't, that's the whole point. It sounds like you hang out only in RiNo or LoHi or LoDo or whatever hipster trendy four-letter nicknamed hot spots are attracting all things man-bunned and bro-bearded. Get out into other parts of the city and you will find MANY 25,000-square-foot-plus buildings in neighborhoods that are having difficulty attracting a fresh food grocery and other services you take for granted. It's hard enough to get a grocer to move into a food-desert neighborhood without also requiring an additional $300,000 in capital investment to add a pointless turf area on its roof. Nice if it makes someone feel good from their high rise downtown condo that they're saving the environment, as they look out on the horizon over neighborhoods without services.

This is sort of like the people that permitted the selling of AR15's to the public 50 years ago, they thought it was a good thing and now look at the mess. China is not hot on the prospect of the two Koreans merging as they don't want Americans on one of their borders, personally I'm not to hot on the deal of having China having a say and working in Alaska. Why in the world is Alaska in such a hurry to let foreigners in to pillage and plunder, aren't we enough trouble within ourselves. What is the problem within Alaska that we aren't smart enough to manage our own resources or leave them in the ground until we are. There is enough natural gas there to make Alaska a great industrial state, our weather isn't that bad anymore, we have resources, water, good air, oil, gas, fish, coastline, billions of dollars but I'm wonder about brains. Look at the countries at our latitudes, they are all long lived and healthy, prosporus with happy people, why not us. Vote Walker out if we need to.

True reflection of the mindset of UCT “Fallists”: on Wednesday, in the context of a water crisis in the Western Cape, they chose to ‘disrupt’ through opening taps to flood the Steve Biko building. They are despicable. “Intellectualism”? Don’t make me laugh!

moergabe

Don's nasty comment deserves answer...so a repost. You're full of.....nonsense. Why don't you simply go back to bullying with your hundreds of smiley faces? They're more interesting than your comments made about me but not to me. I've always considered that cowardly.

Silly rabbits....it's not what you make; it's what you keep. Contentment might be the most important factor in wealth building.

Defining issues are... Crime??? Are you kidding me, for millennials near Vancouver and Toronto its obviously housing affordability

Not only that. Both countries' names end in an "a" as well. Other similarities include hockey, Inuit, seal hunting, and lots and lots of trees. Russia has really nice trees like New Brunswick.

Yes, force. Your own reply demonstrates that. It doesn't take a remodel or update to trigger the requirement. A basic roof replacement does it, and every building will require this over its life cycle. Again, it appears you haven't read the initiative wording. Please stop replying to every single post without going to the website and actually reading it.

We’re you this excited when Obama spent three days?

If only you knew the history on how those "4 letter hipster hot spots" originally got started. Bummer.

The chargers stadium is old and no longer up to standards. The chargers moved to a larger market to improve cost. I can't believe you actually tried claiming you did this for a living. Lol.

Affordable Housing is a bit of an oxymoron statement as someone pays for others.... and it is never enough for the beneficiaries! That the issue is affordable housing in the city centre areas where many tens of thousands would prefer to be located exacerbates the issue..... Neither is this a Cape Town problem, every city in the world has the same issues, although it fundamentally worse in a tourist location adjacent to the sea!

I'm not surprised Harber never mentioned it but let us not forget ENCA journalist Nickolaus Bauer's nasty bit of race baiting about Black Monday.

The people of Alabama will decide to send Moore to the US Congress; their decision. Congress will accept whomever the votes choose. Alabama voters decide and will be proud of whomever they choose.

Do you feel better, believing you know everything and have answers to all? If you don't want to listen to something you don't understand, or you just disagree, it doesn't matter. But I do sense an inferiority complex, when one makes him or herself a know it all while feebly attempting to dismiss others. Oh well. Yes, on a rooftop, plants won't have deep roots. Buildings won't add several feet of soil onto a roof. It'll be inches.

Blooms a smart dude, i hope this company takes off, those bikes are rad but a little pricey.

In our case our justice system is not pursuing JZ and brave journalists (JP, the DM & Amabungane teams and others) are trying their best to unearth so much overwhelming evidence that the justice system can or should no longer ignore however our captured organs of state are "ignoring" the actual evidence and instead are pursuing the journalists with invalid charges! On the up side, the information exposed does serve another purpose in that it provides insight to voters ("voter education") which might serve as a catalyst for change at the polls in 2019 (a long shot?). In the US Robert Meuller adapted the Capone gambit and is going after all the President's men. Perhaps our journalists could adapt the Capone playbook by further exposing JZ's sons & family and putting "unbearable" pressure on them to get to No.1...?

This is literally unbelievable. You are telling me to "read the full innovative [sic]," yet the quote you used DOES NOT APPEAR in it. So once again I implore you to stop these rapid-fire replies and actually read the harmful initiative you're failing to quote properly. The existing building requirement is on page 6: "When an existing building or building addition with a gross floor area of 25,000 square feet or greater requires roof replacement the roof shall be built to include a combination of green roof and solar energy collection in accordance with Subsection A (2) or the maximum amount of coverage possible so that major structural alterations are not required." No mention of remodeling. Here's the part that says you can't substitute all-solar instead: "combination green roof and Solar Energy collection may be used to fulfill the requirements of the Coverage of Available Roof Space as defined in Subsection A (1) so long as the combination is no less than 30% green roof..."

But you claimed that deep roots were necessary just 5 minutes ago, where was the experience then?
