Ken Berwitz For some time now, I have been blogging about the fact that, for (ahem) unexplained reasons, polling which measures Donald Trump\’s support never seems to include Democrats. Very strange, given the uniqueness of Trump\’s campaign – which makes the prospect of Democrat defections different than in other elections, and maybe a great deal more likely. Well...
Ken Berwitz I just read the latest commentary by powerlineblog.com\’s Scott Johnson, who, while in Council Bluffs, Iowa during a Hillary Clinton speech, engaged the woman sitting next to him in a discussion which hit on her use of a personal server during four years as Secretary Of State. Here is how it went, and what Mr. Johnson makes of it: I asserted that thereis considerable...
Ken Berwitz As you are probably aware, the movie “13 Hours: The Inside Account Of What Really Happened In Benghazi” is due for release next week. But a pre-release, pre-review account of it has been written by Michael Cieply, and is in today\’s New York Times. Below, is a small swatch of what Mr. Cieply wrote, after which I will issue my challenge: While Mr...
Ken Berwitz Hey, we finally found those elusive savings that President Obama and his fellow Democrats assured us would come from ObamaCare. Problem is, the savings are realized by gutting ObamaCare. Excerpted from Sarah Ferris\’s article at thehill.com: A GOP-led effort to repeal the biggest parts of ObamaCarewould cost about $42 billion less than previously expected, saving more than...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs come to us from Eliza A. Webb, the leftward writer for leftward web site salon.com. Her latest commentary puts the wood to what Ms. Webb considers Hillary Clinton\’s inconsequential, too-little too-late proposals for banking reform…and reminds readers of which Democrat reaps the enormous benefits of banks\’ largesse. Here, see...
Ken Berwitz Let\’s start with a couple of givens: -The Huffington Post (huffingtonpost.com) is an almost exclusively left wing web site -Lanny Davis is, and has for many years been, a world class Clinton supporter (an “enabler” if you wish…the term fits very well). With that in mind, it is hardly a surprise that Mr. Davis\’s latest commentary at...
Ken Berwitz There is nothing wrong with immigration from one country to another, assuming the motives of the immigrants are positive in nature. And there is nothing wrong with Muslim immigration from one country to another. But there is something wrong with opening a floodgate of immigration to people from violent, anti-western countries with little or no vetting of who they are and what their...
Ken Berwitz According to Matt Lamb\’s article at thecollegefix.com, East Carolina University, in Greenville, North Carolina, has adopted the following definition of “sexual battery”: “The intentional or attempted sexual touching of another person\’s clothed or unclothed body, including but not limited to the mouth, neck, buttocks, anus, genitalia, or breast, by...
Ken Berwitz “Chrazy Chris” Matthews is at it again. Here is what Matthews – the absolutely horrified Matthews – had to say about Donald Trump\’s calling Hillary Clinton an enabler: “Trump\’s now going back and calling Hillary Clinton anenabler. I\’ve never heard anybody say that about her. This is pretty personal,and I would think, over the...
Ken Berwitz Politico.com is featuring an article by Nick Gass, about the first political poll released in 2016. One of its findings is that Donald Trump overwhelms every other Republican opponent……among registered Republicans and Republican leaners. The poll also shows Hillary Clinton with a large lead over Bernard Sanders. I\’ve provided the link, and encourage...
Ken Berwitz I just watched two trailers for Michael Bay\’s “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”. This one, and this one. If the full movie and its message are one fifth as compelling as these trailers suggest, Benghazi was even worse than I thought. And Hillary Clinton, who lied about Benghazi then, and has never stopped lying about it since, is going to...
Ken Berwitz Today was the first day of Bill Clinton\’s stumping for his WINO (not a liquor reference, but the acronym for Wife In Name Only – which most people, even Clinton supporters, would probably concede by now). And MSNBC\’s Andrea Mitchell caught up with him at his stop in Nashua, New Hampshire, long enough to ask a question. Regardless of how you feel about the...
Ken Berwitz Let\’s start with these excerpts from Abby Goodnough\’s article about ObamaCare, from yesterday\’s New York Times: Clint Murphy let thedeadline for getting health insurance bythe new year pass without a second thought. Mr. Murphy, anengineer in Sulphur Springs, Tex., estimates that under the Affordable Care Act, he will face apenalty of $1,800 for...
Ken Berwitz “Congratulations” are in order. It was a banner year for Baltimore….if you enjoy seeing a major city go down the tubes, that is. And wait until you see the explanation of why, as described by Sun Reporter Kevin Rector, in the following excerpts from his article in today\’s paper (the bold print is mine): Blood was shed in Baltimore at an...
Ken Berwitz I was watching The Today Show this morning, during a discussion of what effect Donald Trump\’s invocation of Bill Clinton\’s sex life might have on her campaign. And again (this is not the first time by a long shot). I heard what apparently is going to be mainstream media\’s general party line, which is that it can\’t hurt Hillary because that was a long time...
