Ken Berwitz I hate being put in theposition of taking sides in a dust-up between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump – two peoplewhom, for very different reasons, I will not cast my vote for. But that is the position I am in. Ted Cruz made a fool of himself by attacking Donald Trump, on the grounds that “Donald comes from New York and he embodies New York values”. I...
Ken Berwitz Is this true? Was $150 billion or so in freed-up money, a “deal” that allows Iran to continue building a nuclear arsenal, and the humiliating capture of our sailors not enough? Did we have to give MORE to Iran? From the Fars (Iranian state) News Agency, we have this: TEHRAN (FNA)- 4 US inmates inIran, including Jason Rezaian, have been freed under a...
Ken Berwitz As the controversy rages over Black actors and actresses (no, there is nothing sexist at all in distinguishing them by gender) being shut out of Oscar nominations, I would like to mention what I consider to be a major omission. Did you see the movie “Room”? I hope you did, because, apart from being a brilliantly constructed, extremely moving story, it had one...
Ken Berwitz You cannot make this stuff up. And, as NBC News has made sure, you don\’t even have to. Excerpted from Kyle Blaine\’s article at buzzfeed.com: NBC News journalists – including veteran reporter AndreaMitchell – conducted interviews last week with Juanita Broaddrick, the Arkansaswoman who says Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, but decided not to go...
Ken Berwitz Alyssa Rosenberg writes for the Washington Post. And she has written a review of the new movie “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”. Ms. Rosenberg\’s opinion is that the movie stinks…and that it is a ridiculous attempt to legitimize conspiracy theories about the Benghazi massacre, which does not work. Hence, her final...
Ken Berwitz To the folks who either think that imposing more taxes on “the rich” solve many/most of our problems (that would be Hillary Clinton supporters) or just about all of them (that would be Bernard “Bernie” Sanders supporters)… …please click on these two links which I pulled from drudgereport.com: MARKETS SUFFER WORST START TO YEAR SINCE GREAT...
Ken Berwitz How dirty is the Clinton camp? How murky are their activities? This might suggest an answer to you – and keep in mind that it comes from Shane Harris\’s article at dailybeast.com, which isn\’t what you\’d call a right wing web site: The State Department put up virtually no resistance when Hillary Clinton\’s private lawyer requested to...
Ken Berwitz Yes, Ted Cruz made a stupid comment about “New York Values” But the Daily News headline this morning leaves Cruz\’s comment t so far behind, he can\’t even see its dust: Drop Dead, Ted? Go back to Canada? What are the idiots running this paper going to put on the front page if Ben Carson says something they don\’t like? Go back to...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from a Republican presidential candidate who didn\’t make it to the first tier last night: Ms. Carly Fiorina. During something of a hostile interview by Alisyn Camerota on CNN\’s “New Day” show this morning, Ms. Fiorina had this to say about Hillary Clinton. “…Hillary Clinton has spent her entire life on a...
Ken Berwitz Rep. Trey Gowdy, who chairs the House Committee investigating the Benghazi massacre, has taken a lot of heat – most of it, as would be expected, from Democrats. But some from Republicans as well. Mr. Gowdy pledged to conducted the hearings in closed-door sessions, and has held to that pledge. But, according to Sarah Westwood\’s article for the Washington...
Ken Berwitz As anyone who reads this blog knows, I don\’t make predictions. But I do have expectations. Here\’s one that, I am happy to say, has been exceeded: the first set of reviews for “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi” are, on average, ok. Not great and not good, just OK. Metacritic.com, which compiles and assesses movie...
Ken Berwitz How desperate is Hillary Clinton\’s campaign becoming? Desperate enough to trot out daughter Chelsea Clinton to attack her opponent/left-wing favorite Bernard “Bernie” Sanders – to the chagrin of a good many Democrats. Excerpted from Jonathan Easley and Amie Parnes\’ article at thehill.com: Chelsea Clinton is stepping onto the 2016...
Ken Berwitz Here are my thoughts about last night\’s debate. First off, I congratulate Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo on an excellent job. With relatively few lapses, and all of them of short duration, they kept the focus of this debate on issues, not the ludicrous playground-quality attacks that dominated earlier debates. Yes, there were some. But the lion\’s...
Ken Berwitz Pat Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, one of the four who died during the Benghazi Massacre on September 11, 2012. Ms. Smith claims that Hillary Clinton lied to her face by telling her the attack was spontaneous, the result of a video made by a private citizen in California. Hillary Clinton says she never told Ms. Smith any such thing. Someone has to be lying. When...
Ken Berwitz From an article in Tuesday\’s Lincoln (Nebraska) Star-Journal: A Lincoln woman\’s fight against gun violence scored her a personal invitation to greet President Barack Obama in Omaha on Wednesday. Amanda Gailey, associate professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is among 10 members of the group Nebraskans Against Gun Violence who will attend the...
