Ken Berwitz I have never used this blog to solicit a penny for anything. Not for the blog and not for any of the worthy causes my family and I care about. But this one time I am making an exception. Every year, we participate in “Cycle For Survival”, which funds clinical trials, studies and research initiatives to fight “rare cancers”. As you may beaware...
Ken Berwitz Hillary Clinton, speaking about the email scandal during her meeting with the editorial board of the Des Moines (Iowa) Register: January 11th: “If you\’regoing to be retroactively classifying materials that\’s an impossible standard.You know it\’d be like somebody in the Department of Transportation settingspeed limits that had cameras where cars were...
Ken Berwitz Bernie Sanders (to enthusiastic applause and cheering), during the Democrat presidential debate of October 13, 2015: “The Americanpeople are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” Excerpted from Peter Nicholas and Laura Meckler\’s article for the Wall Street Journal: Sen. BernieSanders, closing out his campaign inIowa, took a...
Ken Berwitz Ted Cruz is running for the presidency of The United States. He is not running for the presidency of his branch of evangelical Christianity. Yet, this – as excerpted from an article at kwwl.com – is what he told a crowd in western Iowa yesterday, while exhorting them to vote for him: At a stop Saturday at Darrell\’s Place in Hamlin, Iowa, Cruz urged his...
Ken Berwitz Yesterday, the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Presidency (the editorial is only about the “Democratic nomination”, but if you think the New York Times has any chance of endorsing a Republican over Hillary Clinton, you\’re deep into the kickapoo joy juice). This, in and of itself, is not a surprise. But I thought I\’d call to your...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Iowa Republican Rep. Steven King – who, it should be noted, is supporting Ted Cruz for the presidency. Here is what Mr. King had to say about Mr. Cruz\’s primary rival, Donald Trump: “He has, from a regular person\’s perspective, unlimitedresources and he\’s willing to use whatever access he has in order to get...
Ken Berwitz “Democracy can\’t be just for billionaires and corporations. Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain, too. You brought our country back. Now it\’s time – your time – to secure the gains and move ahead.”: Hillary Clinton, June 13, 2015 (and many other times, in many other ways, as well) It has just been announced that...
Ken Berwitz As we all have heard many times, Albert Einstein\’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. My congratulations to Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, for showing us a new one. Excerpted from Justin Huggler\’s article for London\’s Daily Mail: Angela Merkel has warned asylum seekers that...
Ken Berwitz The email scandal. The email lies. Even media\’s Hillary love – and it is as deep as the ocean – is not going to make this go away. Excerpted from Paul Sperry\’s article in today\’s New York Post: The State Department is lyingwhen it says it didn\’t know until it was too late that Hillary Clinton wasimproperly using personal e-mails and a...
Ken Berwitz There is nothing like being with grandchildren. And today we hit for the daily double. We spent most of the day at New Jersey\’s Liberty Science Center with our transcendentally spectacular grandson….then brought him home and spent time with his every-bit-as-transcendentally-spectacular sister. Not only that, but on the way to the Center, when some...
Ken Berwitz Lots to talk about today. But very limited time to do it – for a very good reason: Grandma and Grandpa are taking their sainted 9 year old grandson to Liberty Science Center, in magnificent Jersey City, NJ. Last month we took his equally sainted sister to American Girl in Manhattan, so this evens things up. I\’ll try to blog, in an abbreviated way...
Ken Berwitz Apropos nothing political… I just spent a half hour playing something called Yu Gi Oh with my 9 year old grandson. He seems to know exactly what he is doing. But I still cannot figure out the first thing about this game. Either he is very smart, I am very dumb, or… actually, I\’m not sure there\’s another alternative. OK, back to...
Ken Berwitz How would you feel if your 11th grade daughter came home from high school with an assignment requiring her to practice writing Arabic….by writing The Shahada – a statement of faith to Allah. Not a simple sentence or a few words, but a specific religious commitment which, in Islam, would mean conversion to the faith? Well, here, excerpted from Tom Tillison\’s...
Ken Berwitz I have always had the greatest respect for Lester Holt, current anchor of NBC Nightly News. But his question to Hillary Clinton, aired on last night\’s broadcast, is forcing me to rethink. Here it is: “I want toask you about a moment at the town hall the other day. A young man, a BernieSanders supporter, stood up and said young people don\’t trust you. And...
Ken Berwitz How gullible can the Swedish Government possibly be? Well, gullible enough so that it has taken in so many “refugees” from Syria and who knows where else that its culture is rapidly changing…but not as fast as its crime rate is rising. With this in mind, I thought you might like to see these pictures, pulled from Sue Reid\’s article in London\’s Daily...
