Ken Berwitz How successful have mainstream media been in burying the truly sickening videos showing Planned Parenthood executives indifferently discussing the price for various intact baby parts – which cannot legally be sold at a profit – as they sip their wine or munch their lunch? Very successful, if your measure is strictly whether these videos have seen the light of day...
Ken Berwitz Is this a reason that is why Donald Trump is getting support for his demand that all Muslims be barred from entering the USA? Excerpted from Matt Apuzzo, Michael S. Schmidt and Julia Preston\’s article in yesterday\’s New York Times. (Please pay special attention to the last paragraph, which I have put in bold print): Tashfeen Malik, whowith her husband carried...
Ken Berwitz I probably could excerpt Daniel Greenfield\’s frontpag.org commentary about the “Chanukah Party” held by Barack Obama this year. It certainly would be more fair to Mr. Greenfield, whose complete blog I could then link you to. But I\’m not going to. With apologies to Mr. Greenfield (whom I have linked to numbers of time in the past) I am putting up...
Ken Berwitz Happy holidays from Haifa!!! Here, excerpted from an article in the Jerusalem Post, is how Chanukah is how the season is working out in Israel: Customs workers in Haifa thwarted an attempt to smuggle 4,000 anti-Israel stuffed dolls to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank Tuesday, according to the Jerusalem Post\’s sister paper, Maariv. The dolls, which...
Ken Berwitz Apropos of nothing political, this is put up to celebrate the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra, who was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, on December 12, 1915: Extra points if you remember what Sinatra song that came from. Happy birthday, Frank. OK, back to politics, where the usual refrain is “don\’t be don\’t be don\’t”
Ken Berwitz You know all about the IAEA report which confirms that Iran is ignoring the “deal” cooked up by President Obama, Secretary Of State Kerry, and agreed to by a half dozen equally naive, deluded representatives of European countries, right? (Sorry about that: I thought I\’d start out with a little humor). Actually, though, if you happen to read the Chicago...
Ken Berwitz And he doesn\’t even have to pay for it. Donald Trump is currently way ahead of those other people he is running against. I call them “those other people”, to be in keeping with mainstream media – which have decided that they will only cover Trump – not just when he makes an outrageous statement (which happens pretty much all the time) but even when he...
Ken Berwitz My congratulations to National Review\’s Andrew McCarthy, for explaining exactly what is wrong with Donald Trump\’s proposal to prevent all Muslims from coming into the United States “until we figure out what the hell is going on” (whatever that means), and what the correct policy would be. Interestingly, he has written his explanation as a response to Charle...
Ken Berwitz The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments on Fisher v University Of Texas – a suit initially brought in 2008, by Abigail Fisher and Rachel Michalewicz (Michalewicz subsequently removed herself from the suit), alleging they were denied admission to the University of Texas in favor of Black students with lesser qualifications – that this was illegal under the Equal...
Ken Berwitz I wish there were a shortage of material for this series. But there is a surfeit instead. Here\’s the latest, via Blake Neff\’s article at dailycaller.com: The University ofMaryland is sponsoring a poster campaign encouraging students torefer to illegal immigrants as “undocumented citizens.” The inaccurate term, first noted byCampus...
Ken Berwitz Welcome to the new Germany. Excerpted from an article at BBC news: A German court has ruled that Islamists who patrolled acity\’s streets as “Sharia police” did not break the law and will notbe prosecuted. Ninewere arrested in September 2014 after patrolling streets in Wuppertal, westernGermany. They wore bright orange jackets with the words...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA). Two days ago, while on (what\’s left of) Larry King\’s show, “PoliticKing”, Ms Sanchez informed us that… “…we know that there is a small group, and wedon\’t know how big that is – it can be anywhere between 5 and 20%, from thepeople that I speak to –...
Ken Berwitz “Hoist by your own petard”: Injured by the device that you intended to use to injure others. How many times has Rahm Emanuel – as a key operative for Bill and Hillary Clinton, then for Barack Obama – used charges of racism to damage the opposition (usually, but not always, Republicans)? Plenty of times. I wonder how he likes being on the receiving...
Ken Berwitz There is an excellent article by Ed Morrissey, at thefiscaltimes.com, in which he shows us what almost no mainstream media will – just how disastrously ObamaCare is not working, how many of its co-ops are shutting down and how dramatically it has affected the economy President Obama and his media cohorts keep trying to convince us is doing so well. Here are excerpts...
Ken Berwitz Remember that very funny movie, “Ghostbusters”? Remember the part where the ghostbusters are in the mayor\’s office trying to convince him that they can protect New York City from evil spirits, and the Archbishop shows up? Here is the dialogue between the Mayor and the Archbishop: ARCHBISHOP: (entering) Goodafternoon...
