"(i.e. how much ad revenue each personality brings to the company)," None - The BBC does have adverts

As usual with the "pay gap" propaganda pieces the most important information is missing. How does the pay gap look when accounting for relative viewership (i.e. how much ad revenue each personality brings to the company), years on the job, qualifications, experience, working hours, etc. When those factors are account...

They really need to put the healthcare law aside and let the ACA implode on itself. If it survives then Obama was right and we can move forward.

The ACA did no-such thing. What happened was that the insurance companies and the healthcare providers took advantage of the fact that everyone has to have insurance, and raised premiums accordingly. Every plan suggested since would do nothing to change that.

What is all that about "His party will not let him do it"??? Let us not ignore and forget the fact that Trump has already issued an Executive Order - Telling all companies that they can not hire a foreign worker under the H-1B program when an American is available to fill up the position for the foreign worker.

Vern Miyagi's suggestions clearly show ignorance of the graduate level material readily available on the subject of nuclear attack. His comments to even suggest that there could be a place to go or something to do in the event of nuclear attack is reckless, irresponsible and flat out untruthful by providing any kind o...

Vern Miyagi is a retired Army General. Not exactly a typical civil servant. He is a "no BS" kind of guy. He does not sugar coat or make "politically correct" answers for anyone.

Just let it go and don't refute it means that I "love Obamacare?" Just like "seniors love Medicare?" You're so deluded it's not even funny. I can't wait until you actually know a senior who deals with Medicare or someone who is on an actual exchange. You're so out of touch it's pathetic.

I googled his name, and then selected images. The photos do add a visual element to the situation, including the Law Enforcement poster.

If you see a picture of the man who drowned, you could understand why the teens did nothing to help him. The man had tattoos on his face and all over his neck like one of those vicious gang members.

This second story (centering on Gustafsen) pretty much sets this up for the church. Here we have a priest who was an abuser, and wants to make things right.
