Ken Berwitz We were fortunate enough to be out with friends during most of last night\’s Republican debate. When we got home, put the TV on and watched “highlights”, we were disgusted by it. Donald Trump is doing to the Republican Party what he did to the United States Football League (for some reason, almost no one talks about Trump\’s actions and tactics in that...
Ken Berwitz Stunning news. Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia has suddenly passed away. Scalia, had attended a private party last night, while vacationing at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in West Texas. When he did not come to breakfast this morning, Ranch personnel went to his room and found his body. There are huge judicial and political implications here. But, for the...
Ken Berwitz For those of you who even recall that he was running, be advised that Jim Gilmore is out of the Republican presidential derby. Unaccountably the 145 votes he got in Iowa and New Hampshire – combined – were not enough to keep him hot on the trail of a presidential nomination. We\’re down to 6.
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from digital media practitioner/expert Zerlina Maxwell. Here is what Ms. Maxwell has to say about rape accusers: “We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says.Ultimately, the costs of wrongly disbelieving a survivor far outweigh the costsof calling someone a rapist.” I have a problem with someone being...
Ken Berwitz In case you wonder how Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are defined, by the brilliant political analyst/commentator, Charles Krauthammer….. Here are excerpts from his latest Washington Post column: Bernie Sanders is carefulnever to blame President Obama directly, but his description of the AmericaObama leaves behind is devastating – a wasteland of stagnant wages...
Ken Berwitz As we have discussed in previous blogs, one way that southern politicians won elections years ago (it probably still works in some places – south and non-south, today) was by “out-segging” their opponents: i.e. by demonstrating they were more hard-line segregationist. But now, as Hillary Clinton sees her advantage over socialist Bernie Sanders evaporate...
Ken Berwitz On Wednesday, I posted the latest video from James O\’Keefe\’s Project Veritas Action, showing how easy it was to commit voter fraud in New Hampshire….including Democrat campaign workers advising Mr. O\’Keefe\’s people what will work best to accomplish the fraud. And, as always, mainstream media have buried it so deep you\’d need to go the the...
Ken Berwitz I\’ll make this short and to the point. Secretary of State John Kerry has announced that he, with Russia, has brokered a cease-fire in Syria. If you believe there is any real cease-fire in Syria of any lasting nature, you are desperately in need of a detective, to help you relocate your common sense chip. Next blog.
Ken Berwitz Boob-baiting the bubbas. This expression, which came from the eminently quotable Daniel Patrick Moynahan, means talking stupidity to people on the theory that they are stupid enough to buy it. With that, I will put up an exchange which took place, yesterday, between CNN\’s Jake Tapper and Democratic National Committee chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz: TAPPER:...
Ken Berwitz This couldn\’t be better for Bernie Sanders if he had personally orchestrated it. That yellow jacket Hillary Clinton wore during last night\’s debate? The one she was in while trying to outdo Sanders in attacking the moneyed financial interests…like, for example, Goldman Sachs? It appears to be exactly the same yellow jacket she wore when meeting with Lloyd...
Ken Berwitz It doesn\’t look like Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), who is seeking the Democrat nomination to run for Marco Rubio\’s seat, will be going on any fishing trips together. From Gary Fineout\’s article at ABC News: U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Friday called for U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson to drop out of the...
Ken Berwitz Did you watch last night\’s Democrat debate between the typically rumpled Bernie Sanders and the oddly dressed Hillary Clinton (whose top looked like a combination Mao jacket and rain slicker)? Two hours of “I can give you more free stuff than she can” and “No, I can give you more free stuff than he can”, peppered with the accumulation of an enemies...
Ken Berwitz Here it is, from “the comical conservative” (who, in this case, truly is). No explanation needed. NOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT… BILL CLINTON IS GETTING $12 MILLION FOR HIS MEMOIRS. HILLARY GOT $8 MILLION FOR HERS. THAT\’S $20 MILLION FOR MEMOIRS FROM TWO PEOPLE WHO FOR EIGHTYEARS REPEATEDLY TESTIFIED, UNDER OATH, THAT THEY COULDN\’T...
Ken Berwitz I call this willful blindness. What do you call it? Excerpted from an article at foxnews.com: The FBI is investigating a machete attack Thursday nightthat turned a popular, Israeli-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, into abloodbath, but local police say there is no indication so far of a terrormotive. Of the four patrons wounded in theattack at the Nazareth...
Ken Berwitz Very little time to blog until mid afternoon. But I have to take a moment to note that, on the Today Show, I just heard from Savannah Guthrie that John Lewis is “not just a Black Icon but an American icon”, and from Peter Alexander that Marco Rubio “cracked under pressure” during the last debate For the record: -I have lived in a mostly Democrat/liberal...
