Ken Berwitz Karl Rove has Hillary Clinton in his political crosshairs. And his group, American Crossroad, has just put out an ad attacking Ms. Clinton by claiming she is a hypocrite who is running against Wall Street, while simultaneously being funded by Wall Street. Here, see for yourself: Ok, it\’s a killer ad. But is it accurate? Well, here, from opensecrets.org, a...
Ken Berwitz There are reports that some “A-list” movie personalities – Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith among them – will be boycotting the Oscars because there are no Black nominees this year. If the nominations were determined by a committee – especially one with a history of exclusionary decisions – I would be supporting them. But this is not done by...
Ken Berwitz Do you remember the Republiican presidential debate hosted by CNBC last October? Do you remember the (there\’s no way to sugar coat this) stupid questions? The intentional focus on trying to get one candidate to fight with another instead of discussing issues of importance to the country? Here are the first few paragraphs of the letter what RNC Chairperson Reince...
Ken Berwitz From my blog on Friday: In the latter part of 2015, Hollywood has given us to movies straight from the leftward lean of Tinseltown: “Truth” , which tried to convince us that Dan Rather and Mary Mapes were right about George Bush missing some National Guard duty 35 years before (which, even if true, would have all the importance of coming in third in the National...
Ken Berwitz Make of this what you will: Oh, one other thing: Al Lewis, who played Grandpa Munster – real name, Al Meister – was from Brooklyn New York. If these two share the same face, maybe they share the same values too.
Ken Berwitz I am putting up this blog, in the form of Daniel Greenfield\’s headline and sub-head for last night\’s debate, without even reading his commentary, because I like it so much: The Democratic Party\’s Choice: Lenin or Nurse Ratched But either way, the Democratic Party is the Obama Party. Now I (and I hope you) will read what else he has to say. If it is half as...
Ken Berwitz These opinions about last night\’s debate are lifted from Alan Rappeport\’s article for the New York Times. I have no problem doing this, since all I am “taking” is other people\’s quotes. Here they are. See what you think: “Bernie needed an overwhelming victory in tonight\’s Democrat debate. At best, he got anarrow one...
Ken Berwitz I watched only part of the Democrats\’ presidential debate last night – mostly after we got home from visiting our older son, our beautiful daughter (in law) – I put that in parentheses because we think of her more as a daughter – and our transcendentally spectacular grandchildren. What I got from it was that all three candidates did very well in laying out...
Ken Berwitz Well, I guess Donald Trump\’s idea about Ted Cruz being his running mate is off the table….at least this week. Excerpted from Isaac Arnsdorf\’s article at politico.com: The fracas between the Republican presidential front-runnersescalated Sunday as Donald Trump went after Ted Cruz\’s likability, calling hima “nasty guy.” “Nobody likes...
Ken Berwitz From my blog on Friday: The excessive expectation? “13 Hours” will exceed the entire gross of “Truth” (which has been out for the past three months) and “Trumbo” (almost two and a half months) by the end of its first week in release – quite possibly by the end of its first weekend. As of Friday, “Truth” (released...
Ken Berwitz Nothing else to write about Betty White, who was born on January 17th, 1922 and is, by far, the longest-lasting TV star in history (she started in 1949). That title says it all.
Ken Berwitz Want to see another example of the typically duplicitous Hillary Clinton, as described by the typically excellent blogger Paul Mirengoff of powerlineblog.com? Please use the link and read it all…but here is some of what Mr. Mirengoff imparts to us: According to Politico,David Brock, Hillary Clinton\’s surrogate, reportedly will begin airing attackads calling on...
Ken Berwitz Rachel Maddow is the closest thing MSNBC has to a superstar — which is to say that she is a distant second to Fox News Channel in the ratings, but just about everyone else is even worse. Ms. Maddow, despite her poor viewership level, is certainly a smart, savvy person. And, as such, I believe she knows why the Democrat Party – under DNC chair and ultra-loyal...
Ken Berwitz I\’ll make this short and to the point. Ted Cruz is correct to say he is a legal citizen of the United States. He clearly meets US criteria. The latest authority to affirm his status is Floyd Abrams, a constitutional scholar…and nobody\’s idea of a right wing operative, I assure you. But Donald Trump is also correct to say his citizenship will be...
Ken Berwiz Today\’s quote comes to us from Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), former 9 term member of the House of Representatives, and chairperson of the Hous Intelligence Committee. Here is what Mr. Hoekstra has to say about the Obama administration\’s record on transforming US foreign policy: “Almosteveryone of this administration\’s readjustments in foreign policy, whether...
