Quite obviously Assange masterminded the US election with help from Putin using a Sinclair Spectrum and a 56k dial up modem, from a cave in the Philippines, during which Duterte sat on a bicycle hooked up to a generator to supply the power. - We know this because Snowden was hacking the Brexit vote using carrier pigeons and an old card trick to manipulate the votes. It's all scientifically proven using intelligence reports from 235 intelligence agencies who do not regard intelligence as a prerequisite for the job. - 88

thank you motley.......you, with your post, highlight the difficulty in discussing this issue. You seem to suggest that anyone opposed to kids playing football is somehow emasculating them. Football is a "manly" sport and carries with it tremendous status for high school boys. It's not surprising that over a million young men (and a few young women) play high school football each year. I would suggest that the possibility of lifelong brain damage from playing football far, far outweighs the possible emotional damage and sexual role identification issues from NOT playing football. Additionally, of course, were there not football, these same kids would be playing other very active and, at the same time, less damaging sports....so their masculinity might still be saved (thank goodness)....(that's a little sarcasm at the end, by the way) Gary Crum

I suspect R&R is not all that familiar with Baum's theology. The fact Baum admitted he was in a gay relationship negates anything the man did in his entire life.

I agree this should not turn into a pre-emptive military strike. But, you can bet your tail they have a plan. I can guarantee you our air defense system is turned up to 11 right now. And, this wouldn't be one of those boots-on-the-ground thing to lead the way. Did you follow what happened in Desert Storm? That was an air campaign that was carefully planned out and worked fantastic, minimizing US casualties. Btw, my 35th Wild Weasels were second ones in to squash the Iraqi radar. :-) Anyway, we spend far more than any other country on our ability to kill, and it shows. It's why I have so little fear of these supposed threats on the planet we have to supposedly attack. They're nothing compared to our capabilities. Kim might get lucky here or there if he goes full stupid and tries sending a strike our way. But, that first will be his last. Guaranteed.

First, nothing can rival GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Micro$oft) the 5 most powerful American technology companies since data is the fuel of AI and data are already monopolized by those web giants businesses. Second, there are other strong research groups outside Canada at Stanford University, MIT and CMU. Other pioneers like Yann LeCun, a French, works for Facebook, and NYU.

I think what John assumes is Immigration is indeed an unmitigated good and people just might mis-perceive the benefit. What government should do is tweak and temper immigration policy to suit the times, based on evidence and foresight. How many should come in? What type (family class, economic, refugee), as they all have different needs and costs, but also different moral dimensions. What is frightening is we speak as though immigration is only good, but bears no costs. Ignore the realities of real peoples' concerns (unemployment, integration, strain on social services) and then they really will turn to a hard-core populist, like a Trump, to deal with their concerns.

I can see how Neal enjoys his "sleight of hand" metaphor. It can be helpful in explaining legislative gambits. But Neal seems unaware that he is a victim of the earlier sleight of hand. In the dimly lit room, he did not see that McKelvey had swapped out a good bill for a bad, look-alike bill. Having missed the first deception, he only saw the second deception, as was the magician's intention! Angus inserted "poison pills" into the bill, features designed to cause the bill's defeat. He did this against the will of the bill's supporters. He expanded the bill beyond restricted use pesticides, added termite treatments, and greatly broadened the class of users who would be impacted. He was engineering the bill's defeat, but so his colleagues would be blamed. His actions were secretive, hidden. But it the rest of the House who is accused of violating "transparency"? He thought he was being slick. They disagreed. Neal is a classic victim of the misdirection he writes about here.

Dumping biologic raw sewage in the St Lawrence is a lot different than the potential for polluting with dilbit/oil the freshwater watersheds of Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec that supply drinking water for 80 million people. There is a reason why the existing "East" line is only natural gas and why the oil/dilbit (Enbridge) line travels south of Chicago {largely avoiding the Great Lakes watershed) to get to Sarnia Ontario. Built in the early 60s for the National Oil Policy to subsidize Albeta oil, a surprising consideration for waterways existed then, which appears mostly absent (Ontario) in today's dumbed down world.

Do you know the original minimum wage was used to keep black workers out of construction jobs. (I know that is NOT what you are going for.) Look at the Minneapolis airport. They raised the min. wage and now 2/3rds of the wait staff are gone. They replaced them with iPads. You make your order on an ipad, swipe your CC and the food comes out. Now those people had to find other jobs or get the min wage of $0. Similar things in DC and Seattle. growing economy except for those in food service.(outside the area food service jobs are growing)

First notice the distinct line at the bottom of the bluff, then the slide area just to the right of the patch of bushes.

In other words, what is the "wiggle room" that the legislature and governor will have to use the money for non-intended areas such as PERS? What is the net some/gain?
