Are Your Eyes Mismatched?

Leo Durocher, the fiery win-at-all-costs baseball player, and later manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, once remarked, “I never question the integrity of umpires. Their eyesight? Yes!” Durocher would have questioned their eyesight more if he had known they were suffering from aniseikonia. So, should anyone care about this condition? And why do so many suffer this visual problem when it can be corrected?

Trump Showed Himself to Be More Responsible Than the Politicians on Both Sides of the Aisle

The simpletons who are gloating that the rejection of the Health Care Repeal and Replace legislation shows that Trump is no longer a master at the Art of the Deal seem to overlook one simple fact. Every deal with a chance of closing has to have two parties with open minds who WANT a deal. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton got things done because they had negotiating partners.

Remaking Syria: A Military Update, the Diplomatic Situation, and the Israeli Angle

After more than six blood-soaked years, some half a million dead (mostly civilians), and millions of displaced people and refugees, there are signs that the military stage in the Syrian civil war is approaching an end. The war, which began as a civilian uprising, evolved into a war among jihadist organizations and then into a war among entities vying for regional dominance, bolstered by respective regional and international powers.

A Week of Diversity and Terror

On Saturday, Ziyed Ben Belgacem pays a visit to Orly Airport in Paris. He grabs a female soldier from behind and grapples for her rifle while holding a pellet gun to her head. He warns the other soldiers to drop their rifles and raise their hands.

Now let’s move on

Republicans blew it! Read all about it in my recent commentary.

Iqra Khalid succeeds in getting the Camel’s nose of Islamophobia into the tent of Free Speech

My first two open letters, HERE & HERE, like the legitimate concerns of tens of thousands of Canadians, have fallen on deaf ears and you have succeeded in getting the Camel's nose of Islamophobia under the tent of Free Speech to start spitting and belching its offensive cud.

The Right Way to Repeal and Replace Obamacare

Obamacare was intended to be the first step to a government run national health insurance system. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, with all the Congressional Democrats following their lead in lock step like lemmings, foisted this government mandated and partially government run insurance monstrosity on the American people

NIMBYs, including Chris Wallace, Want Obama But not Ivanka in ‘Hood

There’s more than one messy little detail that the New York Post doesn’t mention about the loud Ivanka Trump complaints from NIMBY neighbour Marietta Robinson and elitist Fox News talking head Chris Wallace. Astute Canada Free Press readers report that Robinson is a registered Democrat; was appointed by Barack Obama to a consumer protection agency; is filthy rich; was awarded big money from a 2.2. billion buck lawsuit related to a contraceptive device and did some UN work.

Terrorism from the Swamp

"If I send you a machinegun and tell you it is a baby carriage, and I send it to you wheel by wheel and nut by nut and you do not know until you have assembled the thing that it is a machinegun and not a baby carriage," that is exactly what has happened to this country. We are being sold machineguns without knowing it is [a]machinegun."

Amona and Israel’s hobbled sovereignty

The destruction of fifty-one Jewish homes in Ofra and Amona in February by order of the High Court raises questions about Israel’s claim to be “the nation-state of the Jewish people.” The evictions made no sense, and, although Prime Minister Netanyahu signed an agreement on behalf of the government with the residents of Amona to provide alternative housing in a new community, he has failed to honor his commitment. The families remain in distress, helpless and homeless.

Jerry Brown Saving The World While California Burns

"As a symbol of California's commitment to the environment and combatting climate change, the Department of General Services (DGS), in cooperation with the Joint Rules Committee, will turn off the State Capitol dome lights for one hour (from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) this Saturday, March 25th, to observe Earth Hour."

I would be shocked if the Dems hadn’t surveilled the Republicans and vice versa

Healthcare bill defeated: the world ends

Reuters: "In the past few years, the House has voted more than 60 times to repeal or alter Obamacare, but Republicans had no hope a repeal would become law as long as Obama was president and could veto their bills."

Fake philanthropy news

The 2016 book Dark Money is dishonest in multiple ways. First, it is deeply exaggerated. Author Jane Mayer may work at one of America’s snootiest magazines, the New Yorker, but she has the scruples of a National Enquirer headline writer. Her sensationalism begins right on the cover with her subtitle: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right.

Why is swamp queen Jamie Gorelick advising Jared Kushner?

Recent headlines announced Ivanka Trump would obtain a coveted office in the West Wing of the White House. Breitbart reported on March 20 that, according to Ivanka's "ethics advisor," she "will not have an official title, but will get a West Wing office, government-issued communications devices and security clearance to access classified information." That is curious enough on its own.

Senator Schumer kills the filibuster

The Filibuster, we hardly knew ye. Then Democrat partisanship slew ye.

“I’m willing to give him time and space to get the job done.”

I spoke to a veteran of the Iraq war a couple of days ago about the failure of the healthcare rewrite.

IN MARYLAND RAPE CASE, LIBERALS ADHERE TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

On the morning of March 16, a 14-year old girl was allegedly raped by two illegal aliens in a high school bathroom in Rockville, Maryland. One of the alleged rapists, Henry Sanchez-Milian, is an adult, 18 years old, while the other suspect, Jose O. Montano, is 17-years old.

Musk misses the earmark on Mars Colonization

Elon Musk has hit back at claims that President Donald Trump’s new NASA bill will be good for his space exploration business, saying it does nothing to get SpaceX's mission to Mars off the ground. Musk also claims the new funding will not provide a boost to his aims of making commercial travel to Mars a reality for the public.

Free Judge Napolitano!

BuzzFeed, described by Wikipedia as “a liberal American internet media company based in New York City,” is in the “donor spotlight” at the national news museum in Washington, D.C., known as the Newseum. The “honor” demonstrates how the media have changed and how low they have sunk.
