Ken Berwitz It has happened again. At a “town hall” event, a child came up to ask a question of Hillary Clinton, which she, of course, hit out of the park…. ….because, with about 99.999% certainty, I am sure it was a staged event. I can\’t say this with 100% certainty. But how many times does it have to happen before you know? In this set-up, a boy...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes from the ever-entertaining, if rarely watched. hard-left, racially tuned-up Melissa Harris-Perry, who hosts a weekend show on (where else?) MSNBC. In discussing the need for gun control, this is what Ms. Perry had to say when a guest pointed out that the biggest problem was illegally rather than legally obtained guns: “Alot of people shoot their...
Ken Berwitz How far are some mainstream media willing to go for Hillary Clinton? How about changing history – and not long-ago history either, but history from a couple of weeks ago. Remember the last Democrat debate, on December 19th? Remember Hillary Clinton telling us that ISIS was using Donald Trump in recruiting videos? Her exact words: “They are going to...
Ken Berwitz Chicagoloo. Quite possibly the end of Rahm Emanuel\’s politial career. Brought on by the same people he, and other big-city Democrat machines ,have cultivated all these years. Though ugly and at least somewhat unfair, there is a certain poetic justice here. Excerpted from William Wan and Mark Guarino\’s article in today\’s Washington...
Ken Berwitz In a blog written earlier this week, I said the following: Trump has not yet, to my knowledge, said something like “Put Hillary Clinton in the White House, and you\’re also putting Bill Clinton there, with four years of time on his hands. No intern will be safe, and every time he lays his hands on one it will be Hillary who facilitated it. She will not only...
Ken Berwitz The New York Post has published an editorial about the Clinton Foundation – zeroing in on who gave a lot of money and what they may have expected for it. I am excerpting the Post editorial below. And the hardest part of doing so is figuring out what to leave out. This is the best I can do – along with a plea that you use this link and read every word: It...
Ken Berwitz I have a quick question for mainstream media – especially the mainstream media which commission political polling. The following data, from Nate Cohn\’s article in the New York Times, which was put out on New Year\’s Eve (thus guaranteed to get lower-than-average exposure), show how Donald Trump is doing among people of each party affiliation….with a major...
Ken Berwitz As you may be aware – as you are aware if you read this blog (click here to see why) – it has come to light that, for years, the United States has been spying on Israel. This leads to today\’s quote, which comes to us from President Obama…and – with a tip of my imaginary hat to Tom Blumer of newsbusters.org – was made almost two years ago, on...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs come to us from Matthew Continetti, writing for the Washington Free Beacon. Here, from his latest commentary, is what Mr. Continetti has to say about embattled Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: How bad is RahmEmanuel? He makes Bill De Blasio look good. He was forced into an unprecedented runoff before winning a second term lastspring. In early...
Ken Berwitz Apropos of nothing political… …tonight, I drove Route 18 from downtown New Brunswick straight to where it becomes a highway (below Spring Valley Road) without stopping for even one light. To do that is to make something like 15 to 20 lights consecutively. This probably means nothing to you. But since, in 43 years of driving that stretch of road it never happened to me...
Ken Berwitz Here, via Rachel Bade and Josh Gerstein\’s article at politico.com, is the latest news about Hillary Clinton\’s email scandal – the one mainstream media have moved heaven and earth to bury, even as it grows and grows: More than 1,200 emails from Hillary Clinton\’s private server during her time at the State Department have now been deemed classified, after...
Ken Berwitz I was just reading a list of particularly dumb quotes from media personalities, and came across a quote from Chris Matthews* – which left me shaking my head in disbelief that even Matthews – who has become a paradigm of nutty commentary – would say it. Last May, while reporting about a fatal Amtrak train derailment near Philadelphia, Matthews actually said this to...
Ken Berwitz We all know that Hillary Clinton is an avid women\’s rights advocate, don\’t we? After all, she is front and center demanding full abortion rights. Equal pay. And that women who accuse men of harassment, molestation and rape be believed, not trashed….. ….uh, wait a minute. Katherine Timpf, writing for nationalreview.com, challenges that...
Ken Berwitz Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is as rough and tough a politician as you can find. He is capable of fighting his way through just about anything. But this may be the one he can\’t fight through. According to Michael Tarm, Tammy Webber and Sophia Tareen\’s article in the Associated Press, emails have been uncovered showing that Mayor Emanuel\’s office colluded...
Ken Berwitz Dear friends, great restaurant in lower Manhattan (Babbo, on Waverly Place), no traffic into the city (an amazing little secret – you go through the Holland Tunnel and you zip right through), street parking (our car was less than 100 feet from the restaurant door), and, since we left shortly after midnight, also using the Holland Tunnel, light traffic out of the city. I would...
