Ken Berwitz I don\’t watch Bill O\’Reilly much, because he talks over his guests and they rarely get a chance to voice entire sentences, let alone thoughts. But if the reports are correct, and Donald Trump will be on O\’Reilly\’s show tonight, I assure you I will be watching. What are the odds that thin-skinned/super-egotistical Trump walks off because...
Ken Berwitz Today, January 27th, is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Here is Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\’s statement to his country and to the world: Dear Friends, Preserving the memory of the Holocaust is more important todaythan ever for in this period of resurgent and sometimes violent anti-Semitism,it is commemorations like this that remind us all where the oldest and...
Ken Berwitz What is the Republican Party trying to do to itself? Currently, the two leading candidates are Donald Trump – a candidate I admit to assuming would be gone by now but, instead, seems to have grown in popularity (not just among Republicans either), and Ted Cruz, a bible-thumping, take-no-prisoners religious zealot who demands that his view of social behavior become...
Ken Berwitz In case you were wondering, here are Donald Trump\’s verbatim comments prior to announcing, through his people, that he would bug out of Thursday\’s Republican presidential debate on Fox News Channel: “I told FOX you should give money to the Wounded Warriors. I\’m not a fan of Megyn Kelly. I think she\’s a third-rate reporter, frankly, not good at...
Ken Berwitz It has just been reported that Donald Trump will not participate in Thursday\’s Republican presidential debate on Fox News Channel. The reason? Megyn Kelly, who dared to ask him a tough question or two last time (as she did with every other candidate), will be moderating…and just might ask him another tough question or two this time as well. Poor baby. Poor...
Ken Berwitz First we have the paragraphs of the day, which come to us from an essay written by Darnell Earley, former Emergency Manager of Flint, Michigan. They were written in October 26 of last year, presumably in an effort to head off being blamed for the disastrous water situation there – the one mainstream media have been happy to pin pretty much exclusively on Republican...
Ken Berwitz Last week Sarah Palin screeched out an endorsement of Donald Trump (am I the only one who thought she sounded like a banshee on uppers?) Now the news appears to be that Trump will be getting an endorsement from Jerry Falwell Jr. Given Donald Trump\’s entire history, it is not unfair to immediately wonder what he has offered these two for their hands in political...
Ken Berwitz I pulled this picture from Thomas Lifson\’s blog at americanthinker.com: It\’s not easy to see, but the one house with a sidewalk that no one bothered to clear – maybe waiting for someone else to do it – has a “Bernie” sign on its lawn. Funny? I bet even Sanders would be laughing.
Ken Berwitz How careless was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with classified data? Read this excerpt from Fox News\’s Ed Henry – which includes a telling quote from then-Undersecretary Wendy Sherman – and see for yourself: A 2013 video, obtainedexclusively by Fox News, raises fresh questions about how Hillary Clintonhandled sensitive information at the State...
Ken Berwitz What is a payless Payday: When there is a budget impasse, and government employees are not paid when they\’re supposed to be, because no money has been legally allocated to pay them. What is a debateless debate: When there is a “Town Hall Meeting in which each of the candidates tells you why he/she is better than the others without actually talking to each...
Ken Berwitz Is Hillary Clinton healthy? Watch this possible indicator, which occurred earlier in the day during a speech in Iowa: Ok, let\’s be fair. This may not be anything. I\’ve had coughing fits every now and again, and when they happen my voice weakens for a few minutes (usually...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC\’s “Morning Joe” show. It seems Bill Clinton – either on his own or because Hillary sent him out to do it – implored primary voters not to be lured in by Bernie Sanders, because, in Clinton\’s words, Sanders sounds angry and his slogans are easier to say. Here is...
Ken Berwitz I write a lot about what I call “The Lost Tribe”: Jews and non-Jews who support Israel but have somehow found a rationale for supporting the overtly anti-Israel Barack Obama as well. Well, here is a perfect example of an Obama Jew, via excerpts from an article at Israel Hayom (Israel Today): U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro told Army Radio onMonday that he...
Ken Berwitz Donald Trump, this weekend: “I could stand in the middleof Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn\’t lose any voters, OK?” Trumpsaid to laughter at a rally he held at a Christian college in northwest Iowa. “It\’s like, incredible.” Translation: I own you idiots, hook, line and sinker. It doesn\’t even matter what...
Ken Berwitz I was going to move to other topics, but I have to put this up. Yesterday\’s edition of The Washington Post – written a week and a half after the incident I referenced in my previosu blog, had an article, written by John Wagner and Philip Rucker, titled “Sanders: Clinton is running a \’desperate\’ campaign that lacks excitement”...
