Ken Berwitz Lindsey Graham, whose presidential campaign never got off the ground, has announced he is out. Too bad…he was one of the better ones. More to follow.

Ken Berwitz During last week\’s press conference, President Obama stated that ISIS has lost 40% of the territory it once held. At that time, I blogged that, after conducting a google search and looking at the first three full pages, I could not find any reference to this 40% other than Mr. Obama\’s. I wondered if someone would ask him about it during the Q&A...
Ken Berwitz This one is for all the golden retriever (and, for that matter, other dog) lovers in the house. I dare you not to smile: © Imgur .
Ken Berwitz Is House Resolution 2802 – the “First Amendment Defense Act”, (FADA), the end of any possibility Republicans have to win the White House next year? If the party\’s candidate supports this bill as it is written, the answer is probably yes. And it should be. Let me start by noting that we should all beware of titles that mislead us. This is true in...
Ken Berwitz When you lie, repeatedly, and most media judge you not on whether you lie but how poised and self-assured you are when lying, this is what happens. During Friday\’s debate, Hillary Clinton claimed: “He is becoming ISIS\’sbest recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insultingIslam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs come to us from Josh Sanburn\’s article for Time Magazine…in which he makes the case that the trial of six Baltimore Police Officers regarding the death of Freddie Gray may is – to say the least – in big trouble: After a Baltimore jurydeliberated for more than 16 hoursover three days, a judge declared a...
Ken Berwitz In an eye-opening blog at dailycaller.com, reporter Chuck Ross shows us that Hillary Clinton\’s claim that she gets relatively little money from Wall Street big shots “you can check” is just another one of her lies…..which, if she says it with a knowing smile and poised composure, is supposed to become credible. Excerpted from Mr. Ross\’s piece: When...
Ken Berwitz Too bad that, relatively speaking, almost no one watched this debate – including us (we were with friends, talking, playing scrabble, and only sporadically watching/listening). Within the above limitations, the impression I got was that: -Bernie Sanders was very – make that almost exaggeratedly – animated, both vocally and physically. (The last time I saw...
Ken Berwitz Could have been offensive…. But, actually, is tremendously entertaining and fun. The “Christmas Can-Can”: Great, great singing. Brilliant choreography. Entertaining….and just plain fun. I hope you enjoyed it.
Ken Berwitz As you are probably aware, war broke out yesterday between the Democratic National Committee (AKA “Hillary\’s House, being as it is run by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who co-chaired her last presidential run)and the Bernie Sanders campaign. It seems that, through some technology glitch, private information about Hillary\’s campaign became available to the Sanders...
Ken Berwitz Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a great hall of fame NBA hall of famer. He could do things on a basketball court that I – a big basketball fan in those days (much moreso than now) would have thought impossible until I saw him play. It turns out that now, at the age of 68, as a social commentator, he is still doing things that I would have thought impossible. Unfortunately, for...
Ken Berwitz The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll is out. And it shows that race relations are at a 20 year low. You would have to go back to the OJ Simpson trial to find a time we are more divided. Why is this the case? Well, if you read the Daniel Nasaw;s article for the Wall St. Journal, there is a very simple answer. Black people are outraged over a series of White...
Ken Berwitz It is now 2:05PM Eastern. President Obama – as is his habit – is late (15 minutes so far), and keeping everyone waiting for his grand entrance. ——————— He starts by claiming great job growth (no reference to the fact that most of those jobs are part-time rather than full-time)…and that the unemployment rate has been...
Ken Berwitz Wow. I just watched/listened to Jeff Weaver, a spokesperson for Bernie Sanders\’ campaign essentially tell us that at the DNC – lead by Hillary supporter Debbie Wsserman Schultz – the fix is in for Hillary Clinton, and it is ready to go to federal court over it. I didn\’t tape this announcement – I\’m sorry I didn\’t. But...
Ken Berwitz This one is for anyone who still is under the delusion that media do not jump through hoops for Barack Obama. With a major hat tip to Alex Griswold of mediaite.com… …This morning\’s New York Times originally had this snippet of information, regarding a private meeting Mr. Obama had with various newspeople: In his meeting with thecolumnists, Mr. Obama indicated...
