J.Bob has a habit of making claims based upon inaccuracies. He has no interest in climate facts that don't fit his preferred world view.

How is being told it’s ok to go ahead and sin an adult spirituality? If anything, it’s childish and self centered. Our Lord told us to deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow Him. Telling folks that they are too ignorant/weak to keep the Commandments is what is infantilizing.

scary area

It's both! I'm very objective in the matter and have evaluated both the pros and cons of the outcome. In the end, the dumb suckers got most of their money back and still got a half a$$ed decent boot camp session unlike in the accredited university where "Chicano Studies" suckers ended up with a worthless education and zero recourse to get back the $35k+ and 4+ years of wasted time. Trump University did offer a better deal for 90% cheaper for their real estate boot camp no matter how you try to spin it.

How do the politicians get in to power?

He was​ the only player that showed up against the Seahawks, maybe that's what dude meant?

hopefully one of these guys can shoot the 3 well and be a slasher to the rim.

"Quibbler in our midst" is something you like repeating often when you are confronted with someone correcting inaccurate information.

Lying Trump has been begging the Democrats and the Open Borders Republicans to deliver a DACA Amnesty Bill to his desk and he will grant amnesty to the illegal aliens...... this huge betrayal of american citizens who voted for him will result in him being a one-termer......and he'll deserve to be kicked to the curb...... what a lying skunk he has turned out to be.

Strong international leadership &. Trudeau? Oxymoron

Jesus didn’t mean to be taken seriously? Really?

Jack Reacher writes: "Maybe someone could expose the ties between the Canadian media and the Liberal party. Especially the CBC." -- If you know there are such "ties", Jack, why don't you step up and "expose" them? Could it be because it's all just imaginary on your part? And which "Canadian media" are you insinuating has "ties" to the Liberal Party? Would that be PostMedia, the largest newspaper chain in the country and publisher of the National Post, the Toronto Sun, the Ottawa Citizen and many other bastions of Liberal propaganda and apologists? Or perhaps you meant the Globe and Mail, endorser of the Conservative Party in the last four federal elections? The socialists who run BCE (CTV) and Rogers? Please Jack, share with us your rationale for alluding to "the ties between the Canadian media and the Liberal party."

Deflect and distract from an incompetent president. Nice trolling.

You Nailed it . I voted for him the first two so I was a progressive . Not this time so now I'm a dumb redneck racist. Gary Mason should go bang his head against a wall.

To call this a "Muslim ban" is ridiculous. This is a great example of "strawman" argumentation.

Oh, just the 40 year old allegation magically coming out right before the election. You've never heard the term "October surprise"? You don't remember Anita Hill? (nobody really believed her but desperate Democrats who didn't matter. This is right out of the Democrat Party playbook.

Yup, the Vatican stamp with Luther and Melanchthon replacing Our Lady and St. John at the foot of the cross was blasphemous.

This is really sad, as is the fact that most of the people reading it ignore what the article actually says for the sake of continuing to believe the falsehoods they are being sold. The article states that kids from the language school get better grades than kids from all the other (lousy) charter schools, but that the grades their students receive only puts them in the top ten when compared to Denver's poor performing public schools. Furthermore, charter schools get to cherry pick students and deny entrance to other kids, while the public schools have to take all students, including those from the bottom of the barrel. So what the article really says is, if you cherry pick your students and teach them Spanish and Chinese in a language charter school they tend to do worse than an average kid at a failing Denver public school who is taught English first. But hey, don't let the facts that are presented get in the way of the misleading spin you want to hear...

This story does not reflect reality. King Co Judge did not that Pepper "improperly voted to amend city contracts with consultants on the city's Master Development Review Team." In fact he found the opposite to be true and nullified Yarrow Bay's standing to join in the lawsuit to "protect Mayor Benson." ALSO the Dec 5th Special Election, at a cost of some $22k to taxpayers, to recall Pepper has been CANCELLED by King Co. Election. This was all true as of late October. For heaven's sake report the truth. Call King Co Elections to get the facts.

Voting single issue is why we are in the spot we are in. You would vote Democratic vs R. Moore because the Democratic candidate is an ADULT vs. Moore (whether the allegation is true or not).

How about imposing a particulate matter tax? We have 'experts' that can help. Please take them.

Over $10 a gram? The actual cost to the producer would be closer to $3 not $8...so you start with a lie. Stick with your local economy and screw the corporatacracy, I guarantee it is better for the economy as every $ gets spent locally and does not go towards making some more offshore billionaires.

Agree but I have to say that the jokers in charge of this state are hardly Democrats. The self-interested monocrats that run this state into the ground are an unique blend of arrogance, incompetence and treachery.

The voters didn't agree with you Mr. Lemma. That's what counts.

Actually the initiative DOES NOT allow a commercial or multifamily building to use solar instead of a green roof to meet the requirement. Only in addition to. You still have to put in a green roof for 30% of your required area. I did read the initiative, every word. I think a LOT of voters were misled on the solar option, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

...just in time for the long weekend.

i am sure the women were all decent - it s not so much the people in the corner as the man himself being entirely indecent

Wow, a university that actually realizes controlling their costs is what it's gonna take to keep tuition from soaring even more.

AT: Give me a call sometime and let's sit down and discuss the difference between the Evolution of the Species and Social Darwinism. Absent a face-to-face interactive conversation it's really hard to address your (IMO) misunderstanding regarding the two. regards, Gary Crum

We haven't ruled out Hulk Hogan, but we HAVE ruled out Terry Bollea.

Anything more useless than rappers and their talentless music?

Ah! So it is you who is setting himself/herself up as the arbiter of what one is permitted to read and not permitted to read on this thread. Such is the tyranny of liberalism, censor everything they disagree with.

The Iraq War didn’t meet the just war criteria, what is Bishop McElroy talking about? I think unilateral disarmament would be suicidal.

This is a performance league. If Thomas was a free agent right now would he get paid the same? I think everyone knows the answer. Haven’t seen the fire in a long time.

Firman's use of the term "excessive force" is political and doesn't belong in law enforcement. It certainly tells us who his masters are, though. Need some new knee pads, buddy?

But, when I was in Middle School here in Springfield, some 'misbehavior' resulted in meeting one of the PE teachers who utilized a device known as a paddle. It was used on a boy's bottom to draw excess blood away from his head to cause him to think more clearly. A memo was sent home to the parents when it had been used and why and the parent had to acknowledge it in writing. The one time that happened to me, my father reinforced the lesson in a similar manner. As I said, that only happened one time.

Don't care what you do. Sexual harassment isn't justified by any job, nor is assault. Plenty of law enforcement personnel that don't have a lengthy list of violations.

Friends and mothers will always side with the accuser and they are not reliable witnesses. In this case of the 14 year old I read she didn't tell her mother until 17 yrs later, even that I doubt. She could have just told her after she talked to WAPO. As for the friend, have they been in touch for the last 40 years and she sure have a good memory.

What a joke, these people are rich off of making people fat. Of course they don't want people to know how bad their food is for them. I am a daily calorie counter, and go out of my way to learn about our food, yet still find the % system confusing. 4 grams and 20% of fat??? what does that even mean? The percentage of fat I need is different than the percentage of fat you may need.

If that is indeed the reason for Trudeau's not attending, he should have made it clear beforehand.

Ok, buh-bye now. Buh-bye.

The underlying issue is sexual morality, not sex-ed. I don't think anyone is suggesting not to have sex-ed, and to 'let them find out for themselves.' However, sexual morality and sex-ed are obviously inextricably linked, and because secular ethics and faith-based morality have clearly conflicting views sexual morality, the manner in which sex-ed is delivered to children needs to be respected on both sides .

"The rich are not like you and me." Puh-leeze.... stop pretending to be a pleb, Ms. Wente. Real plebs in this country cannot afford to attend BSS. Pretending to be a pleb simply makes for disingenuous commentary.

What is sad to believe is that Russia would want the corrupt Marxist to lose! Totalitarians LOVE company. -uneducated (DPS) voter!-

Disappointing to see them closing. Their services were great! Employees super friendly!

Souki just ain't da man.

I had high hopes for the Trudeau government. The recent problems with Morneau and the tax havens have been very disappointing. Trudeau should have reacted more quickly to the complaints of conflict of interest in Morneau's tax changes to the self employed. And the wealthy MP's should have known better than to shelter taxes as well. I'm liking the look of Jagmeet Singh more and more.

No, Sanders isn't, (and I like me some Sanders), by statistics anyway. Sanders isn't double covered, because Thomas always is, pretty easy to look good then. I think DT is only second to Julio Jones since he's been in the NFL stat wise, but DT has a ring. I have the sneaking suspicion that if JJ was in Denver, people would find something about him they don't like, that's the way it goes.

And do you really think Trudeau has ever had a real job? If it weren't for his last name he wouldn't be hired at Dairy Queen.

Close but not quite, Pete. I've had both cats and dogs my whole life, and one of my favorite cats "just got out" during a power outage. I wasn't irresponsible, it was just dark.

Trudeau wants to give the business $8 a gram. Can you imagine if we nationalized this and that $8 created an additional $20 billion in revenue (their numbers are far too low and on purpose) for the tax payers? Just imagine it could all go to the municipalities and reduce our property taxes. Better to make a few more billionaires....

Wrong. Unable to agree on any particular method for selecting presidential electors, the Founding Fathers left the choice of method exclusively to the states in Article II, Section 1 “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors….” The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly characterized the authority of the state legislatures over the manner of awarding their electoral votes as "plenary" and "exclusive."

It is time for Canada and the world to learn of the danger of Saudi Arabian Wahhabi Islam . This atrocity propaganda campaign , is the fruit of that ideology of control disguised as a religion . The genocide is committed by the Wahhabi , and then blamed on the Burmese . These jihadist "rebels" are not nice , they kill their own , and then cry wolf . If 71 police officers were killed in Canada , we would look deeper than just the CNN report , I hope .

Hey, I have an idea. Instead of asking Amy about the costumes, how about asking your coworkers/friends of that ethic background if it would bother them. I would imagine most would say it wouldn't, as long as there are no "extras" added, like holding a hatchet while you're wearing the costume. I think it's just Americans who get offended by everything.

Hate to burst your bubble, dear, but those things actually grow here.

"Beginning to get the idea", is she?

Ah, the eliteism of those that live in Colorado rears it's ugly head. And what's funny, I doubt you are a native, just someone who moved there and now feels superior.

Funny, the LW never stated homicides (he mentioned crime rates), and you replied to MY thread, in which I clearly stated I was talking about gun death rates. So no, I don't grant you direction of this discussion. Your tired argument will remain meaningless until Illinois starts enforcing its stricter gun laws (relative only to other states... certainly not compared to the rest of the world) at its border. While our states' borders remain porous, states' laws' impact will be blunted.

i was excited for the bigs coach brought in, it's sad that 2 or the recruits might not play this year. let's go bows.

It's really hard until you get paid for it.

Hey Steve, Why don't you tune me out? Because you're paid to troll this subject in local rags? Have your employer send me an contract and a 1099 and maybe I'll jump on your gravy train. You know who loses credibility and respect? "Doctors" who can't support their practice with their own skill and have to turn to industry lobbying. Allisa Port Angeles Citizen Retired

Well his career as an actor and comedian are probably over. On the other hand, it doesn't stop him from having a shot at the Presidency.

For those having trouble reading between the lines, the article indicates this is the only charter school in which the students score grades in math and English that are comparable to the top ten public schools. Or, put another way, only one charter school is competitive with Denver's failing public school system, and even then it's only in the top ten, not the top five. Yeah for charter schools and the disingenuous and not-too-bright parents who send their kids to them.

Sadly for you, you left your other post up on a related thread: "Thuggernaut 36 minutes ago You've posted this same lie under many different accounts over the years. But if you have to post a lie to feebly deflect away from this, you've said all we need to know about how bad Justin has conducted himself and embarrassed Canada." Now go away.

Fourteen of the 15 smallest states by population are ignored like the big ones because they’re not swing states. Small states are safe states. Only NH gets significant attention. Support for a national popular vote has been strong in every smallest state surveyed in polls among Republicans, Democrats, and Independent voters, as well as every demographic group Among the 13 lowest population states, the National Popular Vote bill has passed in 9 state legislative chambers, and been enacted by 4 jurisdictions. Now political clout comes from being among the handful of battleground states. 70-80% of states and voters are ignored by presidential campaign polling, organizing, ad spending, and visits. Their states’ votes were conceded months before by the minority parties in the states, taken for granted by the dominant party in the states, and ignored by all parties in presidential campaigns.

Don't know about that: Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that living in a home where there are guns increased risk of homicide by 40 to 170% and the risk of suicide by 90 to 460%.4 The risk of dying from an unintentional gunshot injury is 3.7 times higher for adults living in homes with guns, with handguns in the home posing a particular threat.5 On a state-wide level, states with higher rates of household firearm ownership have been shown to have significantly higher homicide victimization rates.6

"Total tax revenue could be as much as $1-billion a year, said Bill Blair, the former Toronto police chief turned lawmaker who's leading the government effort to legalize pot. He stressed estimates are "speculative," since it depends on how large the legal market will be." If the plan is to charge $10 or more per gram, there won't be much of a legal market. That puts an ounce at more than $300. In lots of places that would be twice what it currently sells for. I just don't get how they think that's going to put the black market out of business. I certainly won't be investing in any pot stocks. Cheaper just to buy some dirt.

It’s just more virtue-signalling. But keeping fingers crossed that Trudeau doesnt do his messianic schtick and open his arms wide to welcome all and sundry to Canada!

If you make over $100,000 you are well-off. Yes, it costs more to live in San Francisco, CA than in Boise, ID - but, if you spend beyond your means, that is your choice. If you own a home with a market value of $500,000 or more, you are well off. Required annual income is $108,575 to obtain a $500,000 mortgage at a 4.5% rate. Reality Check - Currently, a little less than a third (29%) of all U.S. homes are valuable enough to make taking the Mortgage Interest Deduction worthwhile; under the proposed tax changes, that number would fall to just 5% percent. If you've already got a mortgage, things won't change. You can still deduct the interest you pay on mortgages up to $1 million.

The underlying issue is sexual morality, not sex-ed. However sex-ed cannot be taught without the context or bias of sexual morality. Therefore, since secular ethics clearly conflicts with religious morality on this issue, the delivery of sex-ed needs to be respectful of both sides.

Bratakos said that the fire would have been contained to the unit of origin if had sprinklers. What he fails to state is that there were units with louvers on the doors which spread the fire faster. Why weren’t HFD inspectors issuing citations for this fire code violation? And before the Marco Polo incident, how many deaths occurred in high rises verses single dwelling homes? Figures will show that sprinklers in homes would save many more lives.

decent pervs goes well with the p-grabber in the WH

The hyper wealthy rely on tax deductions all the time. I'm not exactly sure what that statement meant here without seeing the details, but I don't see any reason a tax specialists relying on tax deductions to make a budget work means they are wealthy or frivolous.

and in removing this dysfunction from the classroom when the dysfunction happens, causes disruption to the rest of the school hearing a child screaming when they are removed, drama drama drama and why this dysfunctional drama needs to be removed for good from public schools and put into AE, where dysfunctional students are used to this, and why they were removed from the public schools, so their dysfunction is not doing the same. DUH.

If this is true; then, there's a question of character.

We don't care what the "authorities" think. We don't care what you think either. We know how to think for ourselves in this community. Lol.

And here I thought CO2 was the biggest threat to mankind ? Apparently it's just garden variety pollution. Can we have our carbon taxes refunded then ?

"The left uses their sides lying to say Trump lies regularly, however they can't quote a specific incident, as I have above, where Trump out and out lied." Just how impenetrable is your bubble?

>> .. bagman and consigliere That's what makes it a good article , otherwise - would have been a puff piece, god knows we have plenty of these.

So we will be taxed twice? Pay tax on the tax? Not sure if I have this correct, but we will be paying tax at a buck a gram, or 10%, and then your province's sales tax on top? How does this make any sense? So in NL that would be 25% tax... (10% + 15% HST) Please tell me I am wrong.

We will see the same article about SouthWest and it's FAILED attempt to cut it in the Aloha state if SW fails to deliver Aloha gift envelopes stuffed with cash on every flight to the (D) racketeering mafia running this state!

Paul Scott as Speaker of the House could ascend to the Presidency. Now do you want to talk issues or stick to personal digs? "The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected House Representative, though every Speaker so far has been an elected Member of the House.[3] The Speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the Vice President and ahead of the President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate.[4]" Wikileaks just google Speaker of the House. t's an idea that have been brought up by people that are interested in designing a legislative process that isn't locked in Partisan BS. The US goverment can be designed in many ways that still fit within the contitutional framework.

What do we notice about these men that have sexually harassed or assaulted women? Physically they are repulsive & have had great difficulty finding consenting partners but somehow feel entitled to beautiful women. Get a reality check.

The important thing to note here is that people aren't coming to his defense denying the allegations. They're all downplaying them. Meaning these people knew from the get-go they were real. Which means they probably knew about this for some time. How long have Alabama Republicans been protecting this pedophile?

For an act to be a mortal sin, it has to be grave matter, with full knowledge and full consent of the will. If full knowledge or consent is lacking, it’s still a venial sin. But you really want to argue there are people too uninformed (then inform them) to know adultery is a grave sin? Or that most people who commit the sin of adultery suffer some kind of clinical nymphomania that make it impossible for them to give full consent? And if they are having sex without giving full consent of their will, isn’t that rape? Do we really want to go there?

Saudi oil is not imported to the USA in any large amounts if at all. Oil, even US oil, is marketed at a world wide fluctuating price when sold on the open market. Perhaps since the USA is all but self sufficient that US oil prices for oil used within the USA should be regulated at a fixed price of about $35/barrel and the remainder sold at world prices.

I agree...all four of the co-(g)hosts were marvelous in their former milieux...but this? Why would CBC fool with (dare I say it) an institution? Oh...yeah...the objective is to capture the demographic of the right-now ADHD crowd. Best of luck with that. Wendy??? Diana??? Please call home. Absolutely unwatchable.

What he did was wrong, but at least he has the guts to admit it. Now for the consequences . . . .

That’s just weird. You get more excitement from the refueling visit of the third wife of our current president than the effort BO put into traveling and learning our state. Have you been to Kotzebue? What “local” taxes did you incur from his visit?

Julio dropped a game winning TD last weekend. Broncos fans would probably be calling for him to be cut and replaced by Bennie Fowler immediately.

Re golf courses spraying chemicals. Which State or City departments are responsible for checking on what these golf courses are spraying to kill weeds?

MSW - really - your opinion piece straddles both sides: - continue your rant about Democrats needing to get their act together - but now you have to reflect what happened on Tuesday Guess what - you are guessing and projecting in an area you obviously have little knowledge. Some added points: - guess what - Virginia voting results indicate that the local/state Democratic Party is recruiting some very good candidates (so much for what you have been complaining about) - various groups have organized and made a significant impact (so much for lack of identity with the Dem Party) - bigger issues appear to be - turnout (duh, Clinton failed to generate Obama like turnout and she paid a price....it may really not have anything to do with middle class, industry workers, etc. - healthcare - most cited reason to vote (duh - cut across party, race, economic classes) You might want to spend some time studying before posting - go to Nate Silver's 538. Not sure what happens next but Dem Party ok

The problem in our society is that most people feel so entitled to their car that they are blinded and resistant to anything that make life for people safer and healthier. But that makes no sense. Most cars on the street carry one person, just like a cyclist or a pedestrian, but most of the energy cost is just to move the car, not the driver/passenger. Plus, cars require a huge amount of infrastructure at tax payer expense. Private motor vehicle use is the most subsidized form of transportation. More than transit, and definitely more than cycling or walking. Talk about an irrational society.

finish the season strong!

I will field that one: Unrefined toxic waste from a Simplot phosphate fertilizer plant at 515 S. Hwy. 430 Rock Springs, WY.
