I don't think so. If the women were of age (which they were) and willing (which they seemed to have been), it wasn't illegal. There is no evidence that these presidents misused their power.....it looks like the women in question were attracted to them (at least in part) because of their power. It might be morally repugnant to some, but it wasn't illegal.

Only Capitalism works; get the government out of health care & cut costs by 50% (CATO Institute). All these Utopian socialized medical programs in Europe are failures. Our military has to defend these countries, because they spend the money on health care. Health care costs more & more money. Health care offers less & less; which brings one to the "death panels. Medical care becomes slower & slower. Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security are bankrupt; living on cash flow.

Two huge gets for the Rockies, especially Jonathan Lucroy. A veteran presence at catcher, one whose numbers will presumably get Coorsified, is not to be overlooked. The failing is not addressing the rotation. No matter what Jeff Bridich and Bud Black say, if they could have gotten Yu Darvish or another established arm, they should have. Maybe they didn’t have the chips to make it happen or just got outbid, who knows. But if they really believe a collection of kids and no-name hopefuls is going to match up in a post-season series, they could be sadly mistaken.

Masonic death threats? No, it would be the Illuminati. Granted, the Masons are much more of a powerful bloc in places like Mexico and Italy, but the election of Ratzinger was all about the fact that he seemed the one eyed man in a room of people blind on how to handle clergy sexual abuse. John Paul II is easily explained by people who thought Vatican II had gone to far. As for Bergolio, if the Masons would be agaisnt anyone, it would be him, unless you are saying that his ideas of universal brotherhood in Christ would somehow gel with the masonic outlook. I can see that, but that is also a scriptural outlook. My-grandfather was a Mason, and I assure you, there is no grand conspiracy. Indeed, it would be nice if Fracis lifted the excommunication, since my mother's family has a long history in the Lodge.

Canada's health care system is in turmoil. The central gocernment just cut a substantial amount from the budget and told the provinces to do more with less. They already have long waiting lists for CT and MRI scans, etc. This will make things worse for them. Rather than look for greener grass on the other side of the fence, we should find ways to get care to the 10% of our population who do not have access, without totally disrupting a system that is providing care for 90%. If costs of co-pays and deductibles are too high for some, lets find ways to help subsidize those. Fix what is broken without breaking what works.

AP news feed. "Lotter said “the comparison is absurd” because Clinton had set up a private server in her home at the start of her tenure at the State Department and, unlike Clinton, Pence did not handle any classified material as Indiana’s governor." "The vice president’s spokesman, Marc Lotter, said Pence “maintained a state email account and a personal email account” like previous governors in the state. Lotter said at the end of his term Pence directed outside counsel to review all of his communications to ensure that state-related emails were transferred and properly archived by the state."

If you don't think the NRA makes their own political weather, you seem to be holding a hopelessly naive opinion on the matter. The facts are well-reported. Politicians fear defying the NRA, even for the protection of public health and safety, lest they find themselves in the projected crosshairs of a SuperPAC or at risk of becoming Swift-boated. Addressing someone else's comment: I do support fully our US Constitution's Second Amendment protection of well-organized state militias to better enable the public defense from external aggressors, nothing more and certainly not the NRA's revisionist thinking and sociopathic libertarian-eque for-profit theories.

Another important bit of context, (supplied by NY Times, Nov., 2015): 2015 was the year the US recorded that there were more Mexicans LEAVING than US than entering the country--legally or illegally. Over a period of a few years, the "leaving" tally was 140,000 over the "arriving" tally. Now, many would jump to the conclusion that, "Aha! See? life in the US wasn't so good after all!" Well, that may have been the case for some, but the more important reason that out-migration was bigger than in-migration was...beefed up border patrols by legitimate US services and vigilante groups. It was simply tougher to get in. And--wow--all this long before the Presidential election! Why spend a ton of money building a "wall"? Could it be...politics? Just like "top of the pack" military build-up. Pointless, when you already have close to 7,000 nukes at your disposal.

I believe the author shows his own bias (which is natural, of course) when he insists that mass attendance "fulfills a divine command." Does he derive this from a protracted understanding of the 3rd commandment? This seems quite silly and archaic to me... did Jesus *invite* us to follow Him or did he "command" us to attend RCC mass? I certainly fit the mold of "skeptic" in terms of his idea of mass being a "sacred obligation," especially where he presents as "fact... that it's offensive to God if they deliberately choose to ignore him"--as if tending to an elderly parent (for one example) would be a poor way to keep holy the Sabbath. To keep holy literally means to "set apart." Other than tradition in the early church (the earliest of whom attended house gatherings--not mass--incidentally), there are no "facts" that command mass attendance and/or that it is offensive to God to honor Him in other ways... not suggesting that mass attendance is bad but "sacred obligation" seems a stretch.

Yes. I like their experience but they seem too political. I'm not sure that they would want to rock the boat and clean up the force of the "bad apples". My guess is that investigations need to be started and punishments dealt out. I would also guess that most of the dept needs fixing. There needs to be a lot of re-education as well. The commission also needs to stop political promotions as well. Police work can be life or death. We need professionals on the job and not the best campaign worker.

"Donald Trump impersonates a president, and gets away with it." . The Globe notes that he "... painted a false picture of a country besieged by drugs, criminals and terrorists. ..." . Well, gosh, Stephen Harper did the same thing, yet the Globe endorsed his impersonation of a Prime Minister ... . .... four times in a row ! . The Globe's criticisms of Trump may be entirely accurate, but they, and even more so the Globe's indignation, are a bit hard to swallow when the Globe fails to acknowledge that it has been an enabler of the very same kind of polarising behaviour that has brought us to this point.

As a loyal Trumpublican, Mr. Crawford is, basically, defending a TV personality-showman and castigating the media because it reports the outrageous crazy-talk. Superficially, Mr. Trump stood out when compared to the lackluster slugs who tried to run against him in the primaries. Now Mr. Trump is just solidifying his base. He has no choice but to continue the crazy talk that got him this far. There are no more votes to be gained by moderation.

Myself as a pet owner of several dogs to other pet owner " READ THE SIGN". (pic above) Irresponsible pet owners do not need to own pets, leash laws are protect your animal and other animals in the same area from harming themselves or others, not just other pets. A loose dog will run down any rabbit or furred animal it finds, (so much more humane than a trap I'm sure, sarc.) causes issues for other people trying to enjoy the area with poop everywhere and loose dogs running you over on the trail. Remember, not everyone likes dogs and have the same rights to the trails as you. Need to have someone at the trail head handing out tickets to unleashed dog owners. maybe that can help pay for the new enforcement of the trapping reg. Only sound fair to both parties. Other than that it is not a bad ruling.

It has been mentioned somewhere that Russell Martin threw out a runner trying to steal 2nd. Congratulations. At last. As this was a strike-him-out-throw-him-out double play, and not a straight steal, well, not sure you can actually say Martin gets the credit, but we'll let it slide this time. See where Bautista came to the plate in the 2nd inning, bases loaded, 1 out, and he drove in a run. I mean, it was on a weak grounder to 3rd, and he was out @ 1st, but still, this is why that wily old git John Gibbons has him batting lead-off--cuz you want you better hitters coming to the plate more frequently. Or at least, this is what certain posters have maintained for the past few years, that batting order matters, load up the top of your order with your better hitters, like Bautista. They get more ABs. And Bautista, with his .215 or so BA, he definitely deserves to bat high in the order, right?

This was a cowardly attack that must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It is part of Canada's fabric that people of all faiths can worship freely and without fear of violence and persecution. I agree with most of the article, however, face coverings are only common in countries with no freedom of speech, no gender equality, and no freedom of sexual orientation (without exception). Canada is a secular country with laws independent of cultural codes interpreted as piety. It is clear based on history that fundamentalist demands for submission to strict religious codes never wane, Turkey's secular protections have eroded into religious fundamentalism in under 10 years (rolling back 70 years of secular progress established by Ataturk). Europe's experience has demonstrated that cultural segregation stemming from strict religious interpretations results in division and conflict and ultimately regresses society.
