I disagree with Biden on the issue of sexual assault guidelines he helped champion. I'm not sure if it was the way the guidelines were written or how they were interpreted but the effect was to convict men without giving them a chance to defend themselves. There are numerous examples of this happening. I'm all for protecting women but there's got to be a reasonable level of fairness involved.

You respected the opinion of a racist segregationist enough to elect him to lead the "free" world. I put "free" in quotes because Trump didn't think black Americans should be free to live where they want. This is the stuff of leadership? This is what we want representing our citizenry and our country abroad? A guy who was busted for ILLEGAL housing discrimination and racial discrimination? I wish more people would be a little less tolerant of racism today. At least when segregationist George Wallace ran for national office he didn't even earn his party's nomination. Fast forward to 2016 and Republicans not only nominated Trump, they elected the segregationist to lead us. Tells me a lot about the values of the modern Segregationist Southern Strategy... I mean Republican Party.

Yesss of course. So what was the reason the terrorists attacked America on 9/11 as well the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut in early 80's, the 1993 WTC bombing, and the USS Cole?

I suppose that is true if one is in high school, knows nothing about Russia, believes anything, entertains her or himself writing limericks on bathroom walls, and reads and writes at a 4th grade level.

No one was stopping her from having an opinion. But perhaps it was how she expressed her opinion that drove her friends away. Maybe her friends didn't realize what type of person she was until she made it clear. Or maybe she was an a___ and was using this as the reason why people avoided her.

Meanwhile, another comment that was deleted was about this. This distraction by Walker takes reporters away from looking into serious irregularities re: Beltrami's candidacy because they 'don't have the time to look into it' as they have to report on what should have been a private health matter explained away with a simple press release: http://mustreadalaska.com/vince-beltrami-shouldnt-even-be-on-the-ballot/ BELTRAMI DIDN’T TURN IN HALF THE SIGNATURES REQUIRED When Vince Beltrami filed signatures to run as an independent candidate, he came up short. He had 70 verified signatures. He needed 170. But the Division of Elections certified Beltrami anyway, ignoring state law: AS 15.25.170. Required Number of Signatures For District-Wide Office.... The Division of Elections has had a bad year for performance. It had to have one of the legislative races,... Division of Elections will not release a copy of the signatures on Beltrami’s petition,... ...inept, mismanaged, untrustworthy...

1) Sports Strategy 101....change a losing game. Who knows if Herbert is "able to carry the Ducks" but we will not know until we try. Plus one issue is for certain: Prukop is gone after this season and presumably, Herbert will be here next season. 2) No it is not entirely Prukop's fault but in the bigger picture it is the fault of the coaching staff for this consecutive season "strategy" of thinking FCS level quarterbacks can come in and consistently play at FBS levels. The coaching staff either A) Failed to recruit an FBS level QB so that is on them or B) Were unable to coach the players they did recruit to an acceptable playing level...again on them. This is more of a coaching issue than player issue.

"particularly the quick pace of it." Absolutely: the jump to $14 is an increase of over $2 in one shot. I just finished listening to a very interesting discussion on NPR's "On Point." They were analyzing the recent move in Portland, OR and the roll-back of the recent increase in St. Louis, MO. They pointed out that an increase of $1/hr was enough to unsettle things and hurt more workers than it helped. Increasing the minimum wage can be a good thing, but only if it's done with care. There's nothing prudent or incremental about this proposal. Implementing it is like playing with fire... very irresponsible.

You would almost think from this article that it is the Russians building military bases on shoals in the South China Sea (claimed by other countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines) and whose forces came to the aid of the North Koreans after Douglas MacArthur had his army march right up to the Yalu and had to retreat back to the 38th parallel, is now claiming sovereignty over international territory in the South China Sea, a serious threat to navigation, and has an ever-larger navy to back up the bases and threaten the neighbours, including Japan. So the American government might actually recognize that they need to work with the Russians on common problems. If not, why not?

Interesting article - but: - What exactly is the "new economy" ? We really have no competitive high tech sector in Canada anymore and it will be extremely difficult to catch up to and compete with the global players. And let's not denigrate the resource sector tech challenges. - As for having a wealth fund managed by our governemnts ( e.g. Ontariowe ) ... that would be like handing your retirement portfolio directly to the bank robbers without the inconvenience of banking it first ! As for a more general case for the "new economy" insofar as it is STEM related: our media reporting, promoting and understanding of STEM in general is so abysmal as to be MIA - whereas headlines on the plethora of gender pronoun controversies seems de rigueur !

EV batteries are fully recyclable, and unlike the lead acid batteries in gas cars, are completely non-toxic and do not contain any heavy metals. An EV battery contains around 10 kg of recyclable lithium versus the 10,000’s of kilograms of gasoline that is burnt by a gas car over its life. Contrast the minimal impact of battery production with the numerous waste streams produced by gasoline powered cars, which include: all of the toxic by-products of mining, extracting processing and refining the fuels, the tonnes of emissions produced by each gasoline car each year, the billions of litres of polluted engine oil, transmission fluid and coolants resulting from servicing gas powered cars, the contamination from underground fuel tanks, pipeline leaks, train and truck accidents, the groundwater impacts of fracking, the pollution of the oceans from spills, ballast water and oil well blow outs, etc. Oil production is clearly orders of magnitude more toxic and harmful than batteries.

If we ignore that corporations have some ability to control employee behavior during office hours, and just assume that the NFL players have a right to political statements even during their paid hours, then Trump's message to his base that they have political power by not buying tickets to an NFL game, or otherwise paying for a game in ESPN is also a valid political statement. It is basically a potus asking his supporters to boycott NFL games until they make a decision on whether to allow politics during paid hours. Is it divisive? Sure it is. It is valid to discuss if the flag is or is not sacred and whether people can exercise political and economic power by withholding their purchasing. Some people are just angry that Trump is pointing out that his groups of supporters also can organize the same boycotts of NFL teams. The actual impact in coastal towns where very few voted for trump is at best 10% lower revenue. In Trump states, it could be 50% of revenue.

There is a rarely mentioned coincidence of interests here between economic conservatives and multicultural progressives. The former love the fact that additional immigration increases the number of unemployed, boosts the supply of labour, keeping wages relatively low or even reducing them, thus bolstering the bottom line. "Progressives," on the other hand, not only get to increase the "diversity" that is the ultimate goal of their multicultural fantasy religion, they also get an appreciative bloc of voters, jobs for immigration lawyers, human rights advocates, social service workers, civil servants, and a whole slew of other well paid jobs that keep them all working. None of this is altruism people. It's cynical self interest masquerading as humanitarianism.
