Defender of the Press. Stephanie (‘Rocky’) Grisham

Defender of the Press. Stephanie (‘Rocky’) GrishamThe music theme from the ‘Rocky’ movie should be playing in the heads of Jim Acosta and other journos whenever they hear the name of new White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham. But members of the mostly anti-Trump White House press corps will, rather than being grateful that she cleared the path for them to cover the President Donald Trump/Kim Jung Un handshake will be too busy looking for ways to knock her out of the ring. “Stephanie Grisham replaced Sarah Sanders as White House press secretary only recently, but Grisham reportedly has already been injured on the job.” (Fox News, June 30, 2019)

The Humanitarian Hoax of Ballot Harvesting

The Humanitarian Hoax of Ballot HarvestingThe Humanitarian Hoax is a deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy.

Questions We’re Often Asked: Can Caterpillars Sting?

Questions We're Often Asked: Can Caterpillars Sting?In one word: Yes. But with more and more people raised and living in urban areas, there is a disconnect with nature. A simple rule then: if you don't know for sure, Hands Off! Stinging caterpillars--some of the most widespread in North America are listed below--have urticating, hollow hairs containing toxins. When touched, these break off, enter the skin and release their poisons. This may result in anything from a discomforting itch to excruciating pain. Top contenders include:

Dead End at Bernie’s: Sanders Will Never be President

Dead End at Bernie's: Sanders Will Never be PresidentFor those still feeling the Bern, I've some bad news: Bernie Sanders will never be president. This is first and foremost because he'll never, ever be the Democrat nominee. The man who never really was yesterday's candidate (except in Vermont) is nonetheless yesterday's news. While I wrote about this prior to Thursday's Star Wars bar scene (a.k.a. the Democratic Debate), that no one is talking about Sanders after that event tells the tale. His case is a curious one, too.

JIMMY CARTER AFFLICTED WITH RUSSIAN FEVER

If we don’t laugh we could all go insane, but could all die laughing at Pelosi & Social Media

The leftwing media world is getting crazier by day, and it's not just the 2020 Democrat primary contenders letting it all hang out at their absurd debates. According to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "it shouldn't be a crime to cross into the United States illegally". It shouldn't be, as far as you're concerned, Mrs. Pelosi ,but according to the current law, it is.

Failure to change asylum laws will sink Democrats in 2020

Failure to change asylum laws will sink Democrats in 2020The Democrats have just got seven days left to join President Trump in amending America's asylum laws - after President Trump delayed --for 14 days - plans for nationwide raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to deport undocumented families. The declared positions of the 25 Democrats in the first of their debates seeking nomination as the Democrats' Presidential candidate in the 2020 elections indicate there is very little chance of changes in the existing asylum laws being agreed.

For bee alarmists, Groundhog Day comes in June

For bee alarmists, Groundhog Day comes in JuneDid you think Goundhog Day only comes in February? For anti-insecticide zealots and others in the environmentalist movement who've been preoccupied for years with bees and "colony collapse disorder," it actually comes every June. That's when the Bee Informed Partnership--a University of Maryland-based project supported by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)--releases the results of its annual survey of honeybee colony losses and health.

Donald Trump: America’s first wartime (Culture War) president

Donald Trump: America’s first wartime (Culture War) president Trump’s lack of decorum, dignity and statesmanship: I don’t care. I can’t do without this President. He fights for America. My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer.

Hobby Your Left

Fort Polk, 1966One summer evening as we lounged on Jaybird’s porch, looking across my father’s Mississippi Delta cotton fields, I asked the wise old black man, my best friend and mentor, what his final piece of advice would be on the last day before he departed this earth for his well-earned eternal rest. “Always advance — never retreat,” he answered. “Does that mean I should go down fighting instead of giving up, even when the odds are stacked against me?”

Hedged In or Sitting On the Fence?

Hedged In or Sitting On the Fence?Fences, it is said, make good neighbours but Dean Fosdick suggests considering a hedge if you're in need of a fence. Writing in The Washington Post, he notes that, when managed properly, hedges cost less and outlast wooden fences. But hedges require regular watering, weeding, fertilizing and, unless informal, shaping. Other than the ubiquitous chain-link fence, apparently almost indestructible, fences made of treated wood will need maintenance every few years. Even then they will succumb while living barriers continue to flourish. Nevertheless, as Robert Frost once advised: "Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up."

Ford F-150 King Ranch an awesome hauler

Ford F-150 King Ranch an awesome haulerThere are Ford F-150's and there are Ford F-150s. And one of the most lusted after among them is the King Ranch. Well, that's according to my non-scientific poll of folks who met me while I had a 2019 King Ranch for a week, a truck that garnered ooh's and ahh's from a variety of ages and, it appeared, demographic and economic groups. Truck folks, it seems, like the King Ranch.

Judicial Watch’s Weekly Update: Judicial Harassment of President Trump on Census

Tom Fitton, Judicial WatchThrough the years, we have been vigilant defenders of integrity in our elections and that has included exposing efforts to dilute the will of U.S. citizens at the polls. So of course, we are disappointed in the Supreme Court's ruling that delays, perhaps permanently, the Trump administration's plan to include a question on the 2020 census inquiring about a respondent's citizenship status. It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court has endorsed the continued judicial harassment of the Trump administration. It ought to be an obvious point that the U.S. Census should try to figure out how many Americans and non-Americans are present in the United States.

Scaring the Public on Climate Change

Scaring the Public on Climate ChangeAn Earth scientist's recent article making the rounds on social media highlights a terrifying conversation he had with "a very senior member" of the IPCC, which is the UN's body devoted to studying climate science. The upshot of their conversation was that millions of people will die from climate change, a conclusion that leads the author to lament that humans have created a consumption-driven civilization that is "hell bent on destroying itself."

TAXPAYERS FEDERATION BACKS ONTARIO’S NEXT STEPS IN COURT BATTLE AGAINST CARBON TAX

TORONTO, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is committed to continuing the fight despite the Ontario Court of Appeal's disappointing decision in favour of the federally imposed carbon tax. "As interveners in Ontario's court battle, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is disappointed that the court didn't end the carbon tax in Ontario," said Jasmine Pickel, the CTF's Interim Ontario Director. "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's carbon tax is costly and hurts the most vulnerable Ontarians--yet it won't succeed in fighting climate change. We applaud Premier Doug Ford for fighting the carbon tax and urge him to continue this battle at the Supreme Court."

Swamp Creature John Roberts Strikes Again on Census Citizenship Question

Roberts and the Four LiberalsPlease remind me, again, but for which country is John Roberts the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? That apparently would be the United States, unfortunately. Thursday, June 27, marked the second day in a row that Roberts joined the Four Looney Liberals on the Supreme Court: Elena Kagan, Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Stephen Breyer to undercut President Donald Trump by refusing to allow the Commerce Department to ask the citizenship of people in the 2020 U.S. Census.

SCOTUS Invites Lower Court to Untie Hands

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Supreme Court today ordered a lower court to reconsider its earlier ruling that a World War II-era memorial cross in Pensacola must be removed. In Kondrat’yev v. City of Pensacola, a federal appeals court had ruled that the 78-year-old cross must come down, with two of the three judges saying that the outcome was “wrong” but that their “hands were tied” because of the so-called “Lemon Test.”

The UN and Anti-Semitism

The UN and Anti-SemitismA United Nations General Assembly meeting on Wednesday, organized by Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon, was devoted to the global scourge of anti-Semitism, a refreshing event held at a venue usually consumed by animus against the Jewish state of Israel. The most moving speech was delivered by Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was shot at a San Diego synagogue by a Jew hating gunman on April 27, 2019, the last day of Passover. A parishioner, Lori Gilbert-Kaye, was killed.

Is it Better to Be Employed at $8.00 per hour or to Be Unemployed at $15.00 per hour?

https://canadafreepress.com/images/uploads/LEHMANN062819-100.jpgThe push is on by the Democrat Party to have the government mandate a $15 per hour minimum wage. If there ever was a job killer proposed by our feckless politicians, this would be right at the top. Everyone wants to make as much money as possible working at a job, but it should be determined by the free market not by a government mandate.
