Ken Berwitz Why is homeland security not bothering to monitor the whereabouts of people it considers to be terrorist threats? How this even remotely possible? In case you\’re wondering why i would ask what seems such an absurd question, please read this excerpt from an article at foxnews.com. It will answer your question…and, I would think, put a chill up and down your spine...

Ken Berwitz CNN is loving it. The Republican debate generated an audience of 18 million people. Not the 24 million who watched the first Republican debate, but more than 20 times CNN\’s usual audience for that time of night. Then we have the Democrat debate….the one you\’re supposed to either not know about at all, or not be able to watch because of when it has...
Ken Berwitz Suppose high school students in, say, Jordan – which is billed as one of the more moderate Arab countries – was being taught english calligraphy. And the words they were asked to write were english for “It is a very nice day”. Do you think there would be a fuss over that? I doubt it. Now suppose those students were being asked to write “I pledge...
Ken Berwitz Every year the Media Research Center (MRC) compiles a list of especially dumb comments made by broadcast and print media – and picks one that stands out from all the rest as the single dumbest of them all. It probably does not surprise you to know that the competition is fierce. This year\’s winner is a comment made by Melissa Harris-Perry, the hard left and thoroughly...
Ken Berwitz Without comment:
Ken Berwitz In an effort to differentiate itself from the main competition Coke and Pepsi, 7-UP used to bill itself as “The Un-Cola” Well, it had nothing on President Obama. He has far outdistanced 7-UP by giving us “The Un-Deal”. Some time ago, I blogged that this beyond-imbecilic “deal” had neither been agreed to nor signed by Iran. It...
Ken Berwitz Poor Chris Matthews. Poor, poor Chris Matthews. Someone gave him a tiny little taste of what he loves dishing out every day – in this case, Dan Joseph of conservative MRCTV. And look what happened: Joseph: “We just wanted to know really quickly, how is your leg?” Matthews: “What leg?” Joseph: “The leg. Is the...
Ken Berwitz Here are the first three paragraphs of an article just posted at judicialwatch.com. See if you find them interesting: A Middle Eastern woman was caught surveilling a U.S. port ofentry on the Mexican border holding a sketchbook with Arabic writing anddrawings of the facility and its security system, federal law enforcementsources tell Judicial Watch. The woman has been...
Ken Berwitz Ishaan Tharoor is a foreign affairs reporter for the Washington Post – and a hardline leftist. Here is what he tweeted during the “undercard” part of the Republican debate last night: “At what point can wejust say the undercard debate is a bunch of old white men yelling at each otherabout things they have no control over?” In the spirit of good...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from New Jersey Governor and presidential hopeful, Chris Christie, via last night\’s Republican debate. This is what Mr. Christie had to say about “no-fly zones” “A no-fly zone means ano-fly zone. That\’s what it means. See maybe, because I\’mfrom New Jersey I have this kind of plain language hang...
Ken Berwitz There is an old saying: “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Well, here\’s a new one: “the road to political correctness is paved with intentional racial disparities that lead to disastrous results.” From Jason Riley\’s commentary for the Wall St. Journal (you need a subscription to read it at the WSJ link, but google...
Ken Berwitz After spending my first five years in Brooklyn, I grew up in Queens. So did Donald Trump, though I am pretty sure his home was a bit more impressive than ours. We spent four years in the projects, then 7 in what then was an inexpensive “garden apartment” in Kew Garden Hills (which now, I understand, is an expensive co-op; funny how these things...
Ken Berwitz As I write this, the Republican presidential debate, on CNN, is about to begin. And, since the people who read this blog are largely political junkies, it\’s a pretty good bet that you will be watching it. Unfortunately, however, I will not be able to join you – not in real time anyway. I am about to moderate a training session which will almost certainly end...
Ken Berwitz I\’ve written about Hillary Clinton\’s health many times over the past year and a half…and I\’m writing about it again today, because, in his latest commentary at newsmax,com, Ed Klein, author of “Unlikable” – The Problem With Hillary” (admittedly a very negative book), is making several points that should be of legitimate concern no...
Ken Berwitz Isn\’t one of the basic functions of a university the exchange of ideas and beliefs, so that all sides can be heard? Well, that\’s what I always thought. But, apparently, at Harvard these days, there is currently an attempt to remove this concept through intimidation. Excerpted from Blake Neff\’s article at dailycaller.com: A group of Harvard professors...
