Ken Berwitz How lucky we are that ISIS is contained….. Excerpted from Nick Gutteridge\’s article for London\’s Daily Express: Bloodthirsty Daesh Islamists posted notes through the doorsof dozens of random neighbours in several cities across Sweden, including thecapital Stockholm, threatening to murder “non-believers” in aterrifying campaign of violence. Sweden...
Ken Berwitz Here it is. Somehow, I think you\’ll get the message without any help from me:
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Chris Matthews – who, over the years, has become an increasingly rich (maybe poor is the right word) source of scratch-your-head-and-wonder-what-planet-he\’s-on commentary). This time, it has to do with the views of Ted Cruz and Chris Christie regarding ISIS – you know, those nice folks who hate us for who we are, kill people...
Ken Berwitz So I\’m watching the Today Show this morning. It is now 7:20 – well into the broadcast, thus well into the time when the news would be presented. And, during that 20 minutes, the Today team has done a major story on the latest poll showing Donald Trump has increased his lead in the Republican field….and no other polling at all. “Ok”, I...
Ken Berwitz In case you think media\’s “Trump and Trump alone” coverage is only hurting his Republican rivals…. ….please be advised that it is also hurting Hillary Clinton\’s rival – and, in the process, helping Ms. Clinton enormously. From Jonathan Easley\’s article at thehill.com: Donald Trump\’scampaign is drowning out media coverage...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s Paragraphs come from the great Thomas Sowell, who at 85 years of age can still write – and think – rings around just about anyone. Here is how he views Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia\’s comments about affirmative action and Black students, which have been (fraudulently) cast as racist by people who, I am 100% sure, would have understood them...
Ken Berwitz FYI: That title does not have a typo. The double “l” is correct. Keep reading and find out why. Here is an excerpt from Jack Mirkenson\’s brutally honest article at salon.com: The mayor of the third-biggest city in America-whosestewardship of Chicago was direenough before you even got to thepolice-is on the ropes. He is a former...
Ken Berwitz In the course of writing this blog, I have seen countless videos of people disagreeing with one another. Thousands and thousands of them I am sure. Sometimes the disagreements are pretty even – i.e. both sides do about as well in making their points – and sometimes one side seems to win out over the other. But rarely have I seen as one-sided a video as...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from President Barack Obama…who had this to say about fidel castro, the hardline communist, who has been a hardline communist from the time he took over Cuba in 1959 to this minute: “I do see in him a bigstreak of pragmatism. In that sense, I don\’t think he is an ideologue.” I award Barack Obama Quote Of The Day...
Ken Berwitz Ed Begley as Juror #10, speaking about a Puerto Rican boy on trial for murder — 12 Angry Men (1957): Look, you know howthese people lie. It\’s born in them. What the heck? I don\’t haveto tell you. They don\’t know what the truth is! And they don\’t need any real big reasonto kill someone, either. No, sir. They get drunk. They\’re realbig...
Ken Berwitz So you\’re a mainstream media venue – one which has spent more than a year glossing over thuggery and calls to violence from the racist hate group, #blacklivesmatter. And now one of its big shots has been convicted of arson and burglary and is sentenced to 13 years in jail. How do you explain that? Well, the easiest way is not to explain it at all….which is why...
Ken Berwitz I\’ll make this short and sweet: Does anyone believe most countries are actually going to abide by the “global warming deal” which was just concocted in Paris? I wouldn\’t believe most countries would abide by it if there were a significant mechanism for enforcing their cooperation. And there isn\’t any mechanism for doing so at all. In short...
Ken Berwitz Since our wonderful mainstream media have immediately buried this story, I am now reposting a blog I wrote almost a week ago – because it is every bit as important now as it was then: A quick question for the Democrats who want to ban gun sales to people on the no-fly list (a position I support, provided there is good reason for them to be on that list, and there is a...
Ken Berwitz Donald Trump, the most obvious reactionary in contemporary politics, is, I am very confident, about to unload on Ted Cruz. Big-time. Why am I so confident that it is going to happen…and why am I virtually certain it is going to happen in the next couple of days – maybe even today? Because the latest poll in Iowa – conducted on behalf of Bloomberg News/The...
Ken Berwitz “When he saw you, he greeted you with a hug. He tried to make you laugh…He was a jokester, that\’s who he was.” Those words, voiced by a clergyman – who also happened to be a relative – were voiced about a 17 year old young man. And what a nice young man he must have been, always trying to make people happy. Must have had a wonderful...
