Ken Berwitz In case you have not heard, there are two milestone media events in the news today…. -Al Jazeera America, the money pit which bought an unwatched network, Al Gore\’s Current TV, and became an even less watched network, is closing shop. April will be its swan song. When oil was over $100 a barrel, Qatar, the network\’s source of funding, could afford to lose...
Ken Berwitz Yesterday I blogged about the fact that muhammad al rahman al-shumrani (there are several different spellings of his name), a proud terrorist murderer who has vowed to Kill Americans the minute he gets out of Guantanamo, was let out of Guantanamo by the Obama administration. I just googled his name and checked the first three full pages. NOT ONE MENTION OF HIS RELEASE FROM ANY...
Ken Berwitz Alan Rickman, the actor and theatrical producer/director, died today of cancer, at the age of 69. Usually I put up either an R.I.P (Rest In Peace). with news of someone\’s death, or an R.I.H. (Rot In Hell). With Rickman I\’m putting up neither, because I\’m somewhere in between. On the R.I.P. side, Alan Rickman was a successful actor, with a unique, understated...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from muhammad al rahman al-shumrani, a Saudi national who has spent the past 8+ years at Guantanamo. Here are two quotes from al-shumrani from 2007, as noted by the staff at that time: “When I get outof here, I will go to Iraq and Afghanistan and kill as many Americans as I can.Then I will come here and kill more...
Ken Berwitz Iran has released video of the captain of one of the ships taken by Iran contritely apologizing for his actions. I will wait to find out what reasons he had for that apology…and hope profusely that there is more to it than what you just saw. I strongly suggest we all keep open minds until we know for sure.
Ken Berwitz I\’ve seen this before. But since every time I see it I laugh, maybe you\’ll laugh too. Incidentally, this is not a joke or a photoshop. The store exists, in the Hung Hom section of Hong Kong (not to be confused with Well Hung Homme, which is French for a man who has a very large….uh, never mind.)
Ken Berwitz You cannot make this stuff up. Excerpted from Anthony Gockowski\’s article at campusreform.org: Oregon State University (OSU) will be hosting aworkshop called “Making the Unknown Known: ExploringImplicit Bias in Everyday Life” as part of a nine-day commemoration of MartinLuther King Jr. The workshop will teach students “to uncover and challenge...
Ken Berwitz Here is Secretary of State John Kerry\’s thank you – that\’s right, thank you – to the terrorist lunatics in Iran, for “rescuing” our sailors who, Iran claims, touched on Iranian waters. And here is the respectful way our sailors were held until their release: US marines arrested by Iran\’s IRGC Navy...
Ken Berwitz Should Donald Trump be barred from entering a state, on the grounds that he is a racist? Well, one Democrat legislator in South Carolina thinks so. Here is why, via excerpts from Harriet McLeod\’s article at yahoonews.com: A Democratic legislator in South Carolina has a message forRepublican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump: Stay out of my...
Ken Berwitz Raising the minimum wage – I\’m not talking about gradual raises which reflect the way the economy is moving (which I support) but sudden disproportionate ones – was mentioned in glowing terms by President Obama in last night\’s State Of The Union message – to thunderous applause….by one side of the aisle. But do they really have anything to cheer...
Ken Berwitz From cousin Kathi/Hana: I wrote about the above encouragement to kill Jews – here, and here, among other places – after the hate-filled liar, mahmoud abbas, said it. I also pointed out that mainstream media called him a “moderate”, despite this, and countless other words and actions of his, which proved he was no such thing. But since...
Ken Berwitz I have a quick question for Jane Mayer, the New York Times writer who has just put out a book, “Dark Money”, which suggests, among other things, that the Fred Koch, father of Charles and David Koch, made a fortune by building up Hitler\’s nazi regime. First, allow me to tell you what the “evidence” for this claim is – straight from the New York...
Ken Berwitz Today, moveon.org, which, to my knowledge, is the largest left-wing organization in the country (unless you count the Democrat Party under Obama/Reid/Pelosi, that is) has endorsed… …Bernard “Bernie” Sanders for the Democrat presidential nomination. Not Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders. That has got to smart. But, much more importantly, it is...
Ken Berwitz At another time in our history – a much uglier time – if a southern politician was in trouble, a sure way to generate more votes was to “out-seg” his/her opponent. That is, to show that no matter how staunchly the opponent supported racial segregation, he/she was even more so. Well, it is 2016. And Hillary Clinton – a perfectly awful...
