This article and to a greater extent, the CNN story I just watched shows the dishonesty rampant in much of the MSM, some in favor of Hillary. The article described the bomb in NJ as exploding in a garbage can shortly before a scheduled 5K Run by Marines. In fact, the 5k run was scheduled at 9 AM, was delayed, and the bomb went off at about 9:35 AM on a section of the course where if the run had started on time, there would have been a large number of runners at the location the bomb went off. On CNN, a few minutes ago, they first showed a video of Trump relating that he had just been briefed on his plane that there had been a bombing in NY City, Then they showed a video of Hillary saying that we need to wait until we get all the details before commenting in detail. This comment was actually after she had already stated that she had been briefed about a bombing in NY City. The reporter then stated that Trump talked about a bombing and Hillary talked much differently. A flat out lie! | 00 | not toxic |
Paul Krugman "Could ignorance, incompetence be the silver lining?" Actually as it turns out Krugman and other liberals ignorance and incompetence is the silver lining that helped to elect Trump.
The better question is what "lessons reasonably rational citizens " learn from a liberal, Krugman type of meltdown?
From one of the latest mainline news conferences Rep. [D] Maxine Waters claims President Trump is currently supplying bombs & bombing Aleppo, Syria. Waters also claims Trumps, Putin/Russia is currently invading Korea. While Maxine Waters wants the-Impeachment of Trump, Rep. [D] Nancy Pelosi believes Bush is still the current President and that she can't work with Bush. At the news conferences both Pelosi and Waters claim Trump is ‘Incoherent,’ ‘Incompetent,’ ‘Reckless’. Really? Hilarious in light of Kruggy questioning if "ignorance, incompetence be the silver lining?".

Northern industrialists needed a justifiable system that could still be seen as congruent with American ideals but could still allow cheap or next to free labor. Slavery was an embarrassment and the trade of goods being manufactured in the North would run into problems if it was being done within a slave system of which the rest of the world correctly had already banned and saw as the savage system that it was. Capitalist liberalism is self serving - "tolerance" of immigrants and newly freed slaves as migrants, for example, provided a source of cheap exploitable labor. There were two sacrifices needed to save capitalism - Republican abolition and later the Keynesian Democratic New Deal. Both worked to the political benefit of each of the two parties in the end by maintaining economic capitalism with the veneer of political democracy... | 00 | not toxic |

I wasn't implying anything about how you many interpret scripture, but that Pope Francis and the majority of bishops do invoke Matt 25's "welcome the stranger" as Jesus' endorsement of open borders.
One can invoke tradition as the most reliable indicator of correct Catholic social teaching. But history tells me that tradition doesn't trump reason and conscience.
An example: Catholic bishops in the South never admonished the Confederacy for its stance on slavery, and even after the Civil war, some churches had segregated schools and pews. My conscience and reason tell me this was an error; yet the Catholic social teachings of those times said it was just. What would Catholic leaders of those days have said about their fidelity and interpretation of Catholic tradition? No doubt they'd have been sanguine they were in the right.
By the same token, I feel that Francis and the bishops are not entirely correct, not absolutely right, in views about immigration. | 00 | not toxic |

It seems you don't like oil workers, but know this they don't want to be out of work because of foolish ideas!! HB 247 will cost lots of jobs and the state will be broke with a shut down TAPS!

Now we see the real reasons for Joe Biden's visit. He was Obama's emissary for:
1. A treaty banning drilling in arctic waters - one that the incoming president can not easily reverse.
2. The co-opting of Canada into a show of belligerence in Latvia. The border of Russia is already bristling with NATO missiles and defensive weapons. This provocation is unnecessary and only serves to further destabilize the region.
Both of these are Obama's "up yours" to the incoming president. Obama has been no friend of Canada during his eight-year presidency. Only now does he court Trudeau, who in his inexperience has given the finger to both the USA and Russia. Trump has clearly signalled that he wants to thaw relations with Putin, but after a few hours of flattery by Joe Biden, Trudeau has been persuaded to do exactly the opposite.
Obama will be gone in a few weeks, but Trudeau will remain to deal with the consequences of this deliberate provocation. Neither Trump nor Putin will forget. | 00 | not toxic |

Poll reports are fine, but polls are fickle no matter who uses them. I'm not a populist. I think truth is self evident and reveals itself over time.
The most frightening thing about the administration, besides its heavy authoritarian/military leadership, (fine but not in these numbers), is the attack on press and the courts. Like the modern version of these institutions or not, they are foundational pillars of democracy that have to work as a counterbalance to an over reaching political leadership.
These are the characteristics of an administration focused on blind power. A minority of Americans now have 'the good King' who will fix everything to fit their world view without the annoyance of Congress, Press, or the Courts. That's a bad dream for me. I pray I'm wrong.

Even if not shot in the back, he was not moving away. The officer shot him out of fear, which does not make for a righteous shoot since the officer had been chasing him. He could have waited for help if he could not take him down alone. It is not like he did not know who Brown was. The cop was mad because Brown had punked him in his own car. Black lives matter more than police egos. As for Travon, self defense goes out the window once Zimmerman, after being pushed down by a justifiabily afraid Martin, got up and rushed him. He became an assailant at that point and anything that happened is a consequence of that fact. Martin was not aggressing Zimmerman after the initial contact, where he believed he was justified in standing his ground. Events proved him right.

In the case of Hillary Clinton the hatred is completely irrational. It is the cumulative effect of twenty years of Fox News and right-wing radio vilifying her 24 hours a day seven days a week. It all started because she was perceived as uppity simply by virtue of the fact that she wanted to be a productive First Lady who didn't simply stay home and bake cookies all day. That enraged both men and women on the right for whom such a declaration was a step too far. The right found their villainess and they haven't let up on her ever since Roger Ailes took the helm of Fox in '96.
Hatred of Trump, however, is completely rational based on the very real possibility that he could single-handedly bring on Armageddon, which maybe is why evangelicals like him - they're ready to be raptured and Trump's their man to make it happen. Trump's very instability would instantly tank the stock market and it would never recover from the crash he would cause. Then there are the wars. God help us all. | 00 | not toxic |

Just so everyone knows what they are talking about, there are two components to what businesses in Portland pay. The city business license fee and the county's business income tax. They are a percentage on GROSS sales, so they are, in effect a gross receipts tax.

How do you fix the issue? Costs are costs and there is no right to subsidized living in the private market regardless of the tenants advocates say.
The mess in rental housing started with rent controls and these were compounded with changes to the income tax act which removed the immediate tax deductibility of all upfront costs of constructing new buildings. This, of course, was all part of "social justice" as it hammered those Snidely Whiplash landlords and made them pay their "full share" of taxes. Of course purpose-built rental development died and so began the shortage of rental market housing. | 00 | not toxic |
