The agenda of trump and sessions to increase criminalization to fill prisons for non-violent offenses is really their version stimulus for the building, maintaining and managing of prisons for profit. And doing so all on the tax payers' dime. It's actually a genius money laundering scheme of taking public money and turning into to private money to run away with that sessions is trying to orchestrate with things like messing with sentencing. Plus this should in turn increase the number of minorities and poor people in prison who turn to the drug game because of limited opportunities. So it's a perfect set up for the American people to willingly allow the agenda trump and sessions to rob them blind. But this is the America that Americans wanted and voted for in making America great again. | 00 | not toxic |

PS - There are many sterling smaller cap dividend providers out there, several of them former income trusts.
For example, one that I've held for years is ENF. - current yield (including the just announced 10% dividend increase) is 5.8%.
Again, it is interesting to look at the long term total returns of this one versus the far more well known and considered more Holy Grailish by many, ENB.
The 5, 10 and 13+ year returns (back to Oct 9,2003 which is the earliest data point for ENF in longrundata) for ENF versus ENb are:
5 Year ENB- 12.3%, ENF - 16.4%
10 Year ENB - 14.9%, ENF - 18.7%
13 Year 3 Month ENB - 16.1%, ENF - 17.7%.

This was not a case of refusing boarding, it was a case of removing passengers who had already boarded. It was not a case of overbooking, but of expecting employees to be given priority over passengers, at the very last minute. What kind of planning is that?

Look at YouTube videos and there are lots of videos where there was some malfunction of a mortar round. The person would drop the mortar into the tube no problem, however instead of flying out of the tube at high velocity it would shoot out a few feet up and then drop right in front of the mortar crew. The ones you see on YouTube must have been only training mortars because even though the crew all run like hell away after it fall just a few feet in front of them, the mortar does not explode. There was one video that the mortar exploded in the tube but again must have been a training mortar because if it was real one, everyone around the explosion would have died like this Afghan army accident. | 00 | not toxic |
I love it when an article contains unsupported statements "but is also known to be employed as a shortcut by illegal cannabis grow-operations when a crop is threatened by an infestation." Being from the west I like, most here know people in the old medical grow industry as well as in the illegal industry and for the most part they ran like organic food growers. The crops they grew were smaller than the 20,000+ sq ft operations that make illegal pesticides both necessary and easy to use.

" Alaska is extremely financially and educationally generous to the Native population." Really? I mean really? Explain to the rest of us uninformed readers why a handful of rural Native villages sued the Alaska Legislature for discriminating against them over underfunding their education formula funding which is protected under the state's constitution. The villages that sued the Legislature won their lawsuit. And let's not forget that even though rural Alaska is essentially responsible for providing the rest of the state with oil/PFDs, rural Alaska is still way behind in connecting to basic Internet services and computers. Now tell us again, Tesa Ann, how generous Alaska is when it comes to equally funding rural Alaska schools, or providing sewer and water systems that urban Alaska appears to enjoy. | 00 | not toxic |

Great balanced article by Devin--as usual. I hope my praise doesn't get her fired.
A quick point:
i was critical of the one ambulance added in 2010 because of the added labor costs. But the population in 2010 was growing rapidly so it had some thin justification. We gained 30,000 residents between 2000 and 2010. We,ve only gained about 3000 residents since 2010 and population is currently declining because of our recession. Adding two new ambulances during this financial downturn is clearly not based on urgent community need, it's just using a Tax Cap loophole to deceptively increase property taxes to enable the growth of government | 00 | not toxic |

One of the things that seasoned administrators do is to delegate. President Trump is a seasoned administrator so rather than to hands on a problem, he delegates it to someone that knows how to handle the problem and report back to the administrator.
Some of the complaints that I have read regarding President Trump is that all the people that were appointed to positions in his administration were business billionaires. News flash folks, most business billionaires are seasoned administrators and "know" how to solve a problem and report back to the administrator. The problem is with the press is that they are allowed to inject their opinion into a story and the senior editors are too lazy to do their follow up research to find out if the reporter is screwing the pooch.
I like the policy that the President of the United States calls the family of a fallen hero to help them through the troubling time of the loss of a loved one.
