Ken Berwitz Donald Trump, during last Saturday\’s Republican debate: “I\’m the only one on this stage that said, \’Do not go into Iraq. Do not attack Iraq\’. Nobody else on this stage said that. And I said it loud and strong. And I was in the private sector. I wasn\’t a politician, fortunately. But I said it, and I said it loud and clear...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Brent Staples, who is a member of the New York Times editorial board. Take a look at this tweet from Mr. Staples, about whether President Obama should pick the next Supreme Court Justice….and get a birds-eye view of why the New York Times editorials are what they are: “In a nation built on slavery, white men proposedenying the first...

Ken Berwitz As I type this, Donald Trump is giving a press conference. Among the things he has told us are that George Bush got on that ship and essentially said the war in Iraq was over – absolutely untrue – and that if Ted Cruz doesn\’t apologize to him he\’ll go to court and challenge Cruz\’s legality as a natural born citizen because he was born in Canada...
Ken Berwitz According to an article in Time Magazine, there were 468 murders in Chicago in 2015 compared with 416 the year before, a 12.5% increase. CBS News is reporting that, in Chicago this weekend, another 6 people were shot to death and 14 injured. So far in 2016, 72 have been shot dead. Projecting that over a year would generate 585, another 25% increase. My question to...
Ken Berwitz Victor Davis Hanson, writing for pjmedia.com, has given us a very worthwhile analysis of why Hillary Clinton\’s campaign is in its current sorry shape. Here are the first two paragraphs: Hillary Clinton may yet win the Democratic nomination-if sheis not indicted. After all, it is hard for a New England spread-the-wealthsocialist like rival Bernie Sanders to appeal to...
Ken Berwitz Did Donald Trump immediately oppose the war in Iraq, as he claimed during Saturday\’s debate? If so, where is any proof? Even a little? Excerpted from Paul Mirengoff\’s article at powerlineblog.com: Trump had plenty to say about the Iraq invasion after it hadtaken place. In the early days, when it wasn\’t going well, he called theinvasion a mess. But...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs come to us from John Ralston, writing for the Reno Gazette – Journal. Mr. Ralston has written a superb piece, discussing the upcoming Nevada Democrat primary – one which shows with full clarity how serious Bernie Sanders\’ challenge to Hillary Clinton has become, and how desperately the Clinton campaign is trying to dismiss it. Take...
Ken Berwitz Oh, I almost forgot: happy Valentine\’s Day. It doesn\’t get sweeter than that.
Ken Berwitz The New York Times likes Hillary Clinton. It supports Hillary Clinton. And it is not about to allow some trifling little matter, like four years of Ms. Clinton\’s emails as Secretary of State being on a personal, easily hacked server, get in her way. No, no, no. The latest batch of Hillary emails has just been released. And this is how The Times\’...
Ken Berwitzz Warning: the poll that will be referenced in this blog is from a Republican source. And there is little doubt that Republicans would like the Democrat presidential primary fight to be tooth and nail for as long as possible. With those caveats in mind, see what your fascination level is with this, excerpted from Elliot Smilowitz\’s article at thehill.com: The...
Ken Berwitz There is a petition – signed by almost 10,000 people, demanding that Chris Matthews be suspended as host of MSNBC\’s “Hardball” show. Too partisan. Can you believe those dirty Republica……oh, wait. Excerpted from Peter Hasson\’s article at dailycaller.com: A MoveOn.org petition demanding that MSNBC suspend...
Ken Berwitz Incredibly, the question posed in that title is being raised. Let me put this one to bed right now. Barack Obama is the President of the United States. He is 100% within his rights to nominate anyone he chooses to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. And the United States Senate is 100% within its rights to accept or reject Mr. Obama\’s...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs come to us from Michelle Malkin. Ms. Malkin is is more than a little upset over John Dickerson being the moderator of last night\’s debate – her “upset” level edified by Dickerson\’s “Candy Crowley” moment – interrupting and arguing with Ted Cruz). Here, from her commentary about...
