Melania you are the best, thanks for making American Great.

I couldn’t agree more. I was simply pointing out that your examples were not concrete and would not apply in all situations. Each scenario has to be judged but its own unique circumstances.

Edison sits on the edge of the uber-liberal UO campus. This is where the kids of UO staff attend school. A simple and effective solution is to kick these brats out of public schools and make their parents home school them. Why do liberals tolerate that baloney?

How can anyone consider such a volatile commodity as currency?

Miller is not the only one to call Brady the G.O.A.T. Most QBs, including Hall of Fame QBs have said the same thing as well, including: Jim Kelly, Troy Aikman, Joe Theisman, Kurt Warner, Boomer Esiason, Steve Young, Donovan McNabb, Ron Jaworski, Fran Tarkenton and Warren Moon to name a few. Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger too. Looks like its a consensus.

"Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed. Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers’ aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn’t need them any more." -from "War is a Racket" by U.S. Marine Corp. Gen. Smedley Butler, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor twice. http://thoughtcrimeradio.net/2015/11/pdf-war-is-a-racket-by-gen-smedley-butler/

"This is the usual tactic of the Washington folk, they think all the rest of America are ignorant, puritanical rubes..." Actually intelligent Americans KNOW that the rest (those who back Trump or this RUBE Moore) are ignorant puritanical rubes. It's no secret. Common sense is not prevalent among conservatives. Just angry ignorant people who have no ability to grow up and grow a brain. I could give a flying fart in space about the allegations by this woman. What is important is that Moore is an extremist bible thumping moron who thinks his religious beliefs should override the Constitution. If the people of AL still want this kind of person representing them then I pity them. I believe they need to turn off the tap to the takers of AL.

Christians should be very, very careful using bible mythology to justify modern morality. Remember, using the Holy Bible, Jesus was born a bastard.

you seem to have very bad luck

How do you know the perp wouldn't have just surprised her, overpowered her, and killed her anyway?

To ensure full access, Medicaid has been joined to private insurers such as Kaiser Permanente. Medicaid patients at KP are treated the same as paying customers. BTW, after the ACA was passed and starting in 2014, KP took in record numbers of Medicaid and ACA subsidized new patients. However, the number of KP providers has not come close to keeping up with new demand. Therefore, long-time, paying KP patients are having to wait up to 3-months for appointments with their primary care providers (PCP) and up to 6-months to see a specialist. Non-emergency elective surgeries require up to a year wait, and PCP's are much less likely to recommend these quality of life procedures. So, not only are paying, non-subsidized patients getting the shaft with higher premiums and copays and coinsurance, but either forego or wait an excessive time for treatment.

Keeping education available to all requires affordable education. UA used to be reasonably affordable, especially as a major university. But with constant tuition increases this is no longer so. UA is pricing itself out of reach of those that need a local university.

So, because two groups happen to have the same talking points, they must be conspiring with each other? When am I getting my subpoena from Gabby then?! Why do you make the NRA out to be so powerful? Their budget and influence in D.C. is nothing compared to interests like petroleum, pharmaceuticals and food & beverage. Their only power is in their members and supporters who are politically active and vote. Politicians don't look to the NRA for approval, they look to their constituents.

Trump exploited the birther bulls**t because he knew his base ate it up and a very large plurality of Republicans still believe it. It is questionable whether Trump the con-man actually believes in anything other than his entitlement to whatever he wants.

Maybe YOU need to be more aware of your surroundings. Its called self-preservation. Not saying the car drivers weren't at fault, but if you were hit, who loses the most?

Another goon with a gun and badge story.

We knew this would end badly.

What a loser. Traitor

I have no problem with this course as long as no one objects when black/brown/yellow/red racism course are added in the future.

As long as the C&C, doesn't use the same people, that have any connection with the RAIL. After all, waiting until 2050 for its completion, will make everyone forget any incompetency, and will probably make a nice retirement pension, for those employees who are not born yet.

I know you are Chinese Propaganda element! You show up on any articles that contains word "China" China invaded Korea in 1950 and you show no shame in it. This is not 18th century. Your power hunger will be short lived. We know that you are imploding from within. Trump does not seems to understand. He is just an ignorant RE cartel who depended on Russian money to get out of bankruptcy.

Moe Thomas, Why the surprise? Like most metropolitan newspapers, DP leans center-left politically. EVERY news source has a bias. You are basically grousing about rain being wet.

Of course not . History will likely record Obama as our worst president. Still , even as a card carrying republican I went out to see him in person. Just as I just did with the Trump's in Hawaii . At least her visit won't cost local taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars as Obama's visit did.

What is homophobic? Republicans have generally been against gays but seem to often be gay themselves. Nothing wrong with being gay but there is when you advocate against them.

Someone please send that Chinese guy a life sized Trudeau doll with an irreversible head position.

sad

Interesting that Citron Research put out its report about Shopify on the first day of the quiet period. Is that not a violation of securities law or are short-sellers somehow immune from responsibility for anything? Perhaps it wouldn't be appropriate for the short-seller research to indicate that the report is being made during the quiet period and so no disclosure would be needed on the report. It would probably be a waste of the regulators' time anyway. It would be a waste of time because people wouldn't know the reason why the company being targeted wasn't saying anything. /sarc

This too shall pass, like everything else. And Mr Trudeau knows it, he can say and do what he wants, his poll numbers never waver. The education system and CBC have done good work, and GTA is solidly pro-Trudeau, and the young and females continue to shun Conservatives. Every day that passes more Liberal voters come of age, he will be here as long as he pleases.

Even a bigger chunk of their money will be spent on transportation come March.

People on this comment board, and others, who defend Moore are defending a pedophile. How does that feel, Trump sycophants? Maybe you can still become more vile and disgusting? I'm sure you'll all try! This is what Trump's Republican party has sunk to. Defending a pedophile. Just when it seems Trump sycophants can't possible dig any deeper into the bottom of the cesspool that Trump created......

I agree, mostly. I think there was little space between John Paul II and Benedict theologically, but I think there was some difference between them in terms of their understanding of the clergy sex abuse crisis. Lest I be misunderstood, I don't think either of them did what was required, but I think Bxvi was the better of the two. As Prefect of the CDF, Ratzinger was given responsibility for managing the sex abuse crisis, and I think at some point some of it began to sink in. Ratzinger was pope for about five minutes when he removed Maciel -- he knew, by then everyone knew, what a despicable man Maciel was. My question I is: How could JP not have known? How could JP honor Maciel in Vatican Square and describe him as "an efficacious guide to youth"? Did Ratzinger try to persuade JP to deal with Maciel? Was Ratzinger unwilling to confront JP about Maciel? One of those things must be true. Ratzinger really owes it to the church, to history, to Maciel's victims, to account for this.

RIP John Hillerman. Condolences to his Ohana.

Trump doesn't try to improve the country. He tries to improve the $ position of billionaires like himself. He tries to take healthcare away from millions. He appoints a legal hack to the SCOTUS to make life easier for billionaires. He withdraws from the Paris Climate Accords to plead the fossil fuel industry. He wants to pass a new tax code to give bigger cuts to billionaires and move the tax burden to working people.

This all reminds me a bit of when 65% of Nova Scotians voted against Confederation with Upper and Lower Canada, but their voices were silenced by some of the dirtiest, rotten, double crossing, anti-Democratic, drunken scoundrels to ever have crawled on the face of the Earth : http://ns1758.ca/antifed/newscot_anticonfed-1868june16.html Quote : “... a fraud on the Imperial Parliament...” Whazzup with that ?

So full disclosure. I decided to move my family out of Denver to a suburb 4 miles from my original house with a much better schools system and a lower crime rate 4 years ago. It was the continued garbage like this that pushed me to move. Never been happier. Denver has a million issues more important than this, but they decided to focus on this one. It shows the lack of leadership from the elected officials. Just like them being able to find money for an illegal immigrant defense fund but not for their failing schools. Is it any wonder so much development is being done outside of Denver? Why is the DTC is booming. Yes, plenty of new buildings going up downtown. All of them grandfathered into not dealing with this nonsense. This is a feel good measure at best, but the homeless downtown would have benefited more from the attention. Liberals have really become the party of inaction, hashtags, and meaningless gestures.

Comments here reflect the behaviour of our legislators. Habits that cause no harm to others but breaks my morality code, justifies applying the full weight of the law, arrest incarceration, and permanent criminal record. History will judge this as a very dark time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that Rhyme! Some 50+ years later, it still plays in my head when I'm crossing the street.Perhaps the Entitled Generation needs that education!

There's a difference between pandering and using thoughtful, intentional language designed to unite. Great rhetoric is a gift. People like Jefferson, Lincoln and FDR inspired people with their words to rise above their selfish interests and find nobility and unity of purpose. Trump's use of language is appalling. He rarely gives the impression that he's put any thought at all into what he says, and his most notable phrases are all caustic. There's no "Ask not what your country can do for you" in Trump's toolkit. The gist of his tiresome spiels is "Get yours and screw everybody else." Sure, that appeals to a certain segment of perpetually discontented people (who, by the way, are still going to be discontented long after Trump's gone.) But it sure doesn't inspire anybody. Okay, moving on. Have a nice day.

Seriously, get off the fruit tree rant. This is Alaska, unless you want to enclose all of Anchorage in a dome the only fruit growing around here is you.

Kahuku used to lick everyone in the OIA. This year...idk. Looking at the scores.... either they degressing... or others getting way better. I don't know why Kahuku is letting other teams turn the competition into a close game. Not typical of them.

Where are all of the Mudiay bashers this morning? I am convinced that the regular haters are just miserable people looking for an outlet to ventilate their own personal life frustrations. This team is exciting!

Lovely article...but...how much more inspirational and meaningful for us (in a practical manner) would these well-lived lives had been if their spiritual and scriptural insights had made it into our institutional theology, which is 99.99% male in its present form.

I was always taught that the two "universal commandments" are truly based on the ten "rules"...those two do not "transcend" the ten, but are the logical outcome - that the ten themselves are "centered in love." For instance, you cannot truly love your neighbor if you covet his goods. In fact, one can say you cannot love God without adherence to the first four commandments...you cannot love your neighbor without adherence to the last six. Jesus never suggested tossing aside the ten. In fact, He said He did not come to abolish the Law and the prophets, but to fulfill them. Somehow, I think, we gloss over this important passage.

Teenagers and job seekers are always advised to be careful what goes on Facebook because employers can find this and may not hire you because of it. Grown men already in the business world should already know that the reverse is also true, those looking to be hired or do business with you can find your Facebook postings and not do business with you. Facebook seems to have ratcheted up his outspoken manner to the nth degree. Unfriend him yes. And if the bills rely on his job you may want to start looking for alternative funding, he may not have his job for long.

Has anyone done an environmental impact analysis of this proposal? You know,the environmental impact to strengthen rooves to handle the extra weight of the dirt and plants, the cost to water the plants, fertilizer,extra staff to care for the plants (driving to and from work), city inspectors to make sure the plants are in and kept healthy,Trash hauling to carry away dead leaves and branches (or can we just burn them on the roof in an incinerator?) and lest we forget, bug spray to keep the vermin in check. This is the most non-environmental, non-clean air initiative I could imagine. It looks like someone just thought it would look pretty.

Crapwell needs to pay back now as the unions and contractors are calling in their chips after all the donations. Why does this podunk place have such grand aspirations only to F things up royally in the execution time after time???????

If true, Steve was out of line. But she did take her clothes off for Playboy and the world to see. For money, of course.

They will make him Chairman of the Joint Chief Staff.

Cmon, is he kidding? Nearly every leftist is a secular athiest by definition.

You're right. I have let my anger at your continued insistence on your right to add a non-nutritive, potentially harmful chemical to our drinking water, in spite of a clear preference by the majority of those who voted to cease doing so. It is obvious, also, that you don't care about children's oral health, but only about the money you make doing your "job." Getting sucked into a dialogue with such a vile mercenary is foolish, and serves no purpose. Goodbye, Mr. Slott, and may God have mercy on your eternal soul.

I rarely believe in regulation and mandates unless safety or commonsense environmental concepts are involved. I do believe if an idea has merits as this certainly does, incentives and education would be better paths to take.

Doctors giving out opiods like candy? Have pharmaceuticals not been artificially manufactured through prescriptions and big pharma?

What about the mold that may also be present on the inside roof of the dome ? How do they clean that or do they figure it won't matter ?

Other than common courtesy between human beings. When breaking that rule of diplomacy becomes a justifiable reason, look out.

So “old fake news” doesn’t count. So why do you believe the Judge is guilty? His “old news” story predates the Bill Clinton rape charge. In your bimbo lying-women diatribe you neglected the biggest liar of all. Bill Clinton got on National television to tell a couple hundred million American citizens; “I did not have sex with that woman.” You left Monica out of your list of victims. Bill’s semen on her blue dress proved Bill and his entire cabinet a liar and bunch of fools. He was convicted of lying under oath to a federal judge, lost his Arkansas law license and was impeached by the US Congress. Those are some real facts. You are very selective in which women accusers we should believe. Are these women lying about the Jufge? I don’t think so but you make a good case they may be.

you took that out of context, He simply said the truth, who wouldn't blame them, a good deal for them. You would do the same given the chance, who wouldn't?

Morlino is a troglodyte but nothing will happen unless the pew people short change the collection plate. Only a change in revenue will get the attention of the higher ups. Morlino is at his highest level of incompetency and he'll likely stay there.

While I see problems with bureaucracy, this woman's case is not drawing my sympathy. Instead of building a life in Canada, she remains single and hangs on to "family in India". She sends money to India (some of which might have paid for better legal advice in Canada). The closeness of her relationship to her niece and the niece's family is not sufficient for sponsorship. Meanwhile, the niece failed an English test, but did not try to improve her English and re-take it. Also, what is the niece's husband's occupation? Can't he apply for immigration? Or does he not have language and other skills to make it?

Sadly, our PM keeps reminding us that he is a leader without substance. Hopefully most Canadians are starting to realize that.

Your fantasy of who I am, however, would be consistent with what I say on here. Bill's conservatism is so clownish and extreme that it really COULD be a parody PS: Hippies tended to be apolitical and more interested in lifestyle than activism. My sympathies in that period were with the Weathermen, the SDS, the Panthers, the Red Army Faction, George Jackson, Angela Davis, MAlcolm X, the Algerian and Cuban revolutions . . . radical politicals and freedom fighters.

Folks, this is Alabama, inbreeding capital of the US (maybe Tied with Mississippi). You think they care if he molested a 13 year old? They're probably wondering why he waited so long.

I have a close relative who works for this organization In Brooklyn, NY: https://www.camba.org/. It is incredible, and yes, one of their multiple goals is to get people off the streets and into housing. Their outreach and fundraising is phenomenal. St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Community Services in our area is providing similar kinds of help, but not as comprehensively. Still, CAMBA's profile is a great model for what can be done.

Then that means bringing in from the mainland or foreign countries. None of which is enticing once they see the expenses, incompetence of HNL C&C and delays in payments...

Sounds like people are getting steam rolled out of there 😀

Using Mary, if such a human actually existed, and the having the idiocy of attempting altering Biblical scripture to fit a narrative to protect and excuse a pedophile shows the level of ignorance of Evangelicals, in a state that has the reputation of brothers marrying their sisters. Mary was, per the Bible, a Virgin, meaning "untouched by any man." Moore is a sick, twisted, perverted, liar, choosing the wrong time to not admit, to not step aside, to not demand a full investigation (which the innocent usually demand and deserve), and foolishly to use the Donald "sexual predator" failing defense. Wrong time, wrong place, wrong moment in history, because this is the moment, after decades of bullying, death threats, fear of reprisals such as jobloss, and more, women are COMING FORWARD, again after and I reiterate, DECADES of forced silence about abuse. Anyone, male, female, christian, not christian, who stands with Roy Moore,is standing on the wrong side of history.

These people, who defied the status quo of the WW2 era, were very brave. Political correctness, no matter what era, can still be very cruel. However, the American Japanese people did not advocate the killing of anyone, who were not one of them.

Not unlike the one that's in my pants!

Russia ships oil year round through their north. They even have ice breaking tankers...

@SykesCharlie on Twitter: Will the party that accepted the Access Hollywood president draw the line at Roy Moore and a 14-year-old girl?

You're directing us to "The Daily Mail"? The rag Wikipedia won't accept as a reference due to its "reputation for poor fact checking, sensationalism, and flat-out fabrication” ? Try again.

Hell, they run them on the crevasse moraine & Matanuska lake trail systems. IN the forest!!

Moore is so mainstream that most Republicans are denouncing him. Got it.

Busted -- you nailed it Margaret! Nothing worse than watching phoney Trudeau play a PM on TV... zip the class rhetoric and focus instead on delivering good government.

Another one of his “public-private partnership” fantasies!! LMFAO!

"What does it say about Canadian society that every incident in the U.S. is covered here in depth with literally thousands of jokes and smug and sanctimonious judgements." Canadians are taught from an early age they have to be better than the U.S. at something - ANYTHING. That quest for some type of superiority and permeates every facet of their society. They live in a constant state of denial when presented with facts concerning their self perceived value and victims of their own myths. It's a very sad way to exist.

"Exposive chemistry"? Shouldn't this be "explosive"?

Why is this news? Its not like this isn't a common occurrence in Hollywood. Real news would be some one who wasn't harassed. Is there anyone?

Did he own anyone else? Then shut up.

you already give them money to maintain roads for cars ... why not for more transit?

However it does say in your teachings that working on the Sabbath is punishable by death, that having slaves is OK sometimes, and that you should be put to death for eating shellfish. But you're right, the bible doesn't explicitly encourage sexually assaulting minors.

That's what all governing parties think until they lose. The last election was the Conservatives to lose. They should not have lost, but did. Too bad they lost to a group far worse at governing than they were. In BC, the "Liberals" had no business losing, but they did. Canada deserves better, but will not get it because now the voters want pictures, not policy that creates a better environment for regular people to succeed. Regular people don't matter. I believe Trudeau et al have shown, in a very short time period what they are, and many who didn't vote for them believed they were. Opportunists, who use government for themselves, not the people.

I remember hearing people once say inner city gangs were an American problem. Well , this garbage is in our cities of Canada. I recall when there once was hardly any news on gun shots, knifing and useless juveniles roaming the streets to kill for running shoes, technology and a 'diss' and they knew to wear their pants like a man and not comic character Charlie Brown. YA right, It was only in America. My point is: KEEP BURYING HEAD IN SAND.

Keep yer hands off! geesh.

The weak tendencies in the church are when dogmatists attempt to infantilized the laity and in so doing attempt to infinities themselves as if they know the great Mind of God. Cupich continues to be a very strong cardinal for Chicago..

The Alaska Sporting Clays Association (http://www.aksportingclays.com/) who happen to have members at Birchwood Recreation Shooting Park brought 9 of their throwers to help put on this 5 stand event. A shout out should be given to this Association who's Board of Directors works year round to support sporting clay shoots around South Central Alaska.

This is one of the more bizarre catches of the Mueller fishing expedition. It will likely turn out to be another dirty rubber boot. Other sites say that Gulen was a moderate CIA "soft power" asset in Turkey and the moderate Muslim world and always has been. The fact that Turkey has been cozying up to Russia recently (normalization, buying Russia's missile defense) means that they will be demonized in the western media. This could be the real agenda here. I cannot believe that a former high ranking General like Flynn would not know all this. I expect this will turn out be very similar to the Don Jr. Russian lawyer meeting where a meeting was set up under a false pretext and the real agenda only came to light later. All this based on FBI informants and investigators. The fate of the Newburgh Four comes immediately to mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Bronx_terrorism_plot

I enjoyed under seige. The rest seemed a bit repetitive.

A person who makes 100k a year manages to live on 65K after tax income. Cant someone who makes 10M a year live on 6.5M after tax income???? This is just pure greed and an affront to all the 'little' people who just plod along and pay their taxes.

Obama's 'apology tours' were a despicable disgrace, and an affront to this nation's service men and women. It's one example of why Obama's legacy will go down as the greatest 'Divider-in-Chief' in US history.

this won't deter his gun loving illiterate supporters. none of these hillbillies see anything wrong with dating a 14 year old. they probably see him as one of them now.

Trump wasn't even in politics when he started on Obama's birthplace. And let's be honest, there is hardcopy evidence of Obama's birth in Kenya that liberals like to ignore, but has some merit; that is the pamphlet by Obama's literary agent when Obama was 30 that stated that Obama was born in Kenya. You can argue all you want, but anyone whose ever had anything published and anyone who publishes knows that it is important for anything that an author writes or that is written about the author always has to be run by the author. Biographical summaries are typically written by the authors themselves, starting with our high school yearbooks. Not to open a can of worms, but let's be fair that there are questions that have not been answered without a shadow of a doubt.

It's never worthwhile eliminating avenues of collusion and manipulation in the markets, whatever those may be. I'm sure the OSC understands this. And do American investors know that "Citron" is a French word meaning "lemon"?

Bede taught me how to operate all the equipment in the old control room, Grant Hall, APU. Alex taught my graduate level communications course (electrical engineering) at UAF. The last I heard, he was teaching at CMU, near where I live now. Good luck to both. Alaska Pacific University; University of Alaska at Fairbanks; Carnegie Mellon University.

"Revitalized" immigrant neighborhoods have grocery stores with high quality meat for low prices. Anything less and there are riots in the streets. :)

No problems finding tens of millions of dollars to pay off terrorists like Khadr but no money to look after Canadians.

There is absolutely no "good for" in this case. Standing up a group of major international officials at a scheduled meeting is beneath contempt. Trudeau is an irresponsible, petulant child.

Thank you. Remind that Mary was a Virgin, untouched by any man. Which means Joseph never touched her, as Roy "pedophile" Moore is accused of undressing and touching the genitalia of a 14 year old, and other lewd acts with other underage females. No woman makes these accusations lightly. It takes great courage to come forward, even though now is the moment women are coming forward after decades of forced silence.

Pot calling the kettle black, rth?

BANG ON! It takes a person with a high I.Q to find humour in tragedy and not a stab in the dark.

Moore is the same so-called "christian" that said this, "“Homosexual behavior is a ground for divorce, an act of sexual misconduct punishable as a crime in Alabama, a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one’s ability to describe it.” He claims it's the same as bestiality. Look up the rest of this moron's nice "christian" comments.
