as theDonald stated, for over a score past US Presidents just turned a blind eye towards the Broken pact on a Nuke Free Korean Peninsula by the North. The US supposedly tried diplomacy all those years. I say supposedly because SQUAT was settled with the so-called diplomacy, I question was there ever REAL ultimatums to quash the Kim's ambitions? NO President of both parties wanted to deal with this CR@P for over 20+ years. What's another few more years, you might say? The North's End Game of reaching it's Nuke ambition goals! Their spokesman has just mentioned to All that there's no more Diplomatic talks until the got the goods to strike the WestCoast. And you can't be that naive what he says is not true, right? It means Kim Jung Un will ask and do what he pleases for ONE KOREA under his Rule! I could live with a ONE Korea under Kim's rule, IF the South Koreans agree to it! I'd put that in the S.K.'s Liberal leaders head.

I think SA just published this just for media sake because it's been on for two days. I'm sure Coach Rolo is not complaining and he took this job to give back to his alma mater and the people of Hawaii that welcomed him. Although, he's one of the lowest paid NCAAF coach and that seems quite a lot of money compare to other professional jobs, why are people surprised and saying he doesn't deserve it. Football is a form of entertainment and entertainers are well compensated in this country. You can be a clown and get paid more that our educators or professionals. Bottom line, Coach Rolo is not asking for a pay raise or a bonus. Go Warriors!

This useless excuse of a man has done nothing constructive, introduced no legislation of his own, but only has a focus on destroying everything Obama achieved that was good for our nation simply because Trump loathed a popular president. Just wait until the red state folk, and the alt right feel the pain of losing the subsidies, and can no longer afford adequate health care coverage in the individual market. The "lucky" ones will buy junk insurance that covers virtually nothing. And without the subsidies, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), insurers will raise rates in the individual market by about 25 percent. The CBO also projects Trump's actions will increase the federal deficit by $194 billion from 2017 through 2026. Good going Trumpers. You fall for everything this guy says, and you are responsible for every bit of this horrific man's destruction of our country.

Not just you Bronson, but I've been amazed at how some people have grabbed the idea of "fake" news – meaning made-up stuff, with no basis at all in fact – and tried to apply it to mainstream media, which definitely has room for improvement, but, generally speaking is nothing but facts. I'd probably argue, in turn, that mainstream media's biggest flaw right now is based on being "first," at any cost, and not being diligent and checking "facts" and putting them into context before reporting them. For example, it is a fact that Reince Priebus claimed Trump had a "landslide" electoral college victory, but underneath that fact is a series of other facts that make the initial fact dubious: http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2016/nov/21/reince-priebus/despite-losing-popular-vote-donald-trump-won-elect/ ... so Priebus making that statement is not "fake" news but an attempt by him to create a false narrative about what happened

Lazeelink: I'll stretch and call it a draw, based on the links. Obama said: “The American people rightly remember what we as a country accomplished in bringing to justice somebody who killed over 3,000 of our citizens,” he said. “And it’s a mark of the excellence of our intelligence teams and our military teams, a political process that worked. And I think for us to use that time for some reflection, to give thanks to those who participated, is entirely appropriate, and that’s what’s been taking place.” Biden and Bill Clinton laud the president. I'm not so naive that I think they did it without Obama's assent, but it's a far more modest approach than Trump would use. I certainly misunderstood your position. You appeared to be standing up for Trump's 'achievement' in appointing someone to the Supreme Court. One thing the links did? Made me wish for the U.S. political climate of just five years ago. The Obamas and the Bushes were adversaries, but respectful.

I'm not making an accusation, but it's understandable why people are making the connection. Trump was disrespectful to the Khan family after their speech at the DNC convention - non-Caucasian, he was insensitive and unsympathetic to Mrs. Johnson minutes before she was to receive her son's coffin - non-Caucasian, he drew equivalency between African American protesters and white supremacists in Charlottesville, even when a protester - non-Caucasian was killed and several injured, BUT he offered $25,000 of his own money to assuage the father of a fallen Caucasian soldier. Again, no accusation because accusing someone of racism is a pretty damming accusation and you better have incontrovertible proof - I'm not sure the proof here is incontrovertible, but surely you can see the connection points?

Part 2 Archbishop Lefebvre wrote in Religious Liberty Questioned: all of this is based on the Church's fundamental principles, on the fact that the Church is truth, the only truth. This is the way it is; you either believe it or you don't, of course, but when you believe, then you have to draw the consequences. That is why, personally, I do not believe that the declarations of the Council on liberty of conscience, liberty of thought, and liberty of religion can be compatible with what the popes taught in the past. Therefore we have to choose. Either we choose what the popes have taught for centuries and we choose the Church or we choose what was said by the Council. But we cannot choose both at the same time since they are contradictory. Nope, the schismatic Lefebvre rejected Dignitatis Humanae. He was right about one thing, however: DH flatly contradicts what Pius IX said about freedom of religion.

When the Apostle Paul found that some believers were offended because others were eating meat that had been used in sacrifices offered to pagan idols, he determined to never eat meat again if it caused anyone to be offended (1 Cor 8:13). He had to work to nurture and recover those whose faith was offended by the behavior of others in the church and I'm having to do the same with people who have pointed me to your postings in this forum as the reason for them no longer wanting to be part of the church. If Paul was willing to give-up eating meat if it prevented someone's faith from being harmed, why are you unwilling to do the same and quit arguing about debatable topics?

Look at the article it is about LEGAL immigration and talks about regulation-- which my post says I support. My point is that it regulation is good, but cutting numbers of immigrants is bad for our country and our economy because of our falling birth rate among non-immigrants. The result is older people with fewer children, and those fewer children are also having fewer children in a trend that cannot be stopped once it is established since so many women are past child bearing age and they are adding to the older population. With fewer women to have children, and smaller percentage of young supporting large percentage of old dependents like Japan. What has saved us from going over the edge like Japan is large numbers of legal immigrants who are having more children than Americans. Without immigrants we end up like Japan, South Korea, Germany and other places in Western Europe-- a nation with a high percentage of elders-- mostly women.

If past motions are anything to go by, it will lead nowhere specific. Traditionally, there has seen to be value in having a Parliamentary debate on the issue to raise public consciousness.

Not a great parallel, DD. Over the years there have been hundreds of changes made to make automobiles safer. Many of them specifically designed to make children safer as they ride in automobiles. Seatbelts, airbags, requirements regarding "child seats", crumple zone frame designs, and scores of other design/safety improvements. Children are safer in autos today than they have ever been in the past. I would suggest the exact opposite is the case with firearms. First, by their very design, many (virtually all which have been used in mass shootings) are built to kill other people. They are not hunting weapons. They are weapons of war. Additionally, high-capacity magazines are readily available, enabling mass shooters to kill far more victims before "reloading." Guns are, by their very purpose, deadly. We register automobiles...but not firearms. We license all drivers.....not firearm owners. If you like your comparison, great, let's up the ante on gun control...

They're willing to put Americans at risk of terrorism rather than protect our borders to keep potential terrorists out. They want to punish corporations for being successful, oblivious to the fact that many Americans derive their livelihoods from those corporations.

I have no issue with your analysis of "the media", whatever media that is (I suspect it's media that tends to disagree with your assessment). But it is just a different issue. Tommy guns are virtually non-existent because government (The People) decided to do put a heavy tax on them after children were killed in 1930's gang warfare like Bonnie and Clyde. There was no "slippery slope" leading to further bans, people can still buy all sorts of guns and bullets. I've seen Dr. Gina interview a promoter of the AK 47, saying it is just really a hunting rifle that can fire a clip of bullets because, heck, that bear may keep charging. And, since criminals could have this weapon, any home needs one to engage the assailant in a hail of bullets to protect their family. So sure, crazies use them. Stop the crazies. Unfortunately, if we start turning in crazies, any person who wants to get back at their neighbor who pissed them off can call the police and report them as crazy. I'm no buying it.
