Ken Berwitz Remember when syed farook was being characterized as a guy who – against the grain of his “typical American” family, became radicalized by his Saudi wife? Remember his next-door neighbor, enrique marquez, who got him the guns they used, supposedly had no tie to their terrorist massacre/had no idea that his good pal syed had become an islamic radical bent on...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Republican Senator and presidential candidate, Marco Rubio. This is how Mr. Rubio challenged George Stephanopoulos, the career Democrat-turned-Morning-Show-Host, on ABC\’s Good Morning America: “…there isn\’t a place onEarth where America is stronger or safer after Hillary Clinton was Secretary ofState or Barack...
Ken Berwitz Months ago I speculated that, barring some major unforeseen circumstance, Donald Trump\’s ridiculous, barroom-loudmouth presidential candidacy would soon end. Well, it didn\’t. Here, in my opinion, is why. Let\’s start with the fact that, like what he says or not, Trump says it. He doesn\’t dance around, he doesn\’t mince words, he...
Ken Berwitz From cousin Hana/Kathi – and does it ever say a lot. /
Ken Berwitz You\’re going to think I\’m making this up. But I\’m not. Clyde A. Lynch was the President of Lebanon Valley College, in Pennsylvania, from 1932w to 1950. Not surprisingly, a building at the school is named in his honor. But that is terrible. You see, the name Lynch Hall has racial overtones. Therefore, it must be changed. Or so says...
Ken Berwitz This is the start of a new series: The Idiot Of The Week. The first “winner” (if that is even the right term) is CNN\’s Ashleigh Banfield, who decided it would be a great idea to ask Donald Trump supporter/conservative blogger Jeffrey Lord about Trump\’s intention to ban all Muslims from coming into the country this way:\ “If you supplant...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Washington Post columnist and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer. Here is his opinion of a subject I often blog about here: the absurdity of tying gun control laws to terrorist attacks: “(California has) universal background checks, they have magazine limits, and they have a ban on assault weapons. Look, if...

Ken Berwitz Remember when someone cared who Time Magazine named as its “Person of the Year”? Strains your memory a bit, doesn\’t it? I watched the Today Show this morning, and they had Time\’s Managing Editor, Nancy Gibbs, on, to announce the winner. First, let me tell you who it isn\’t: -It isn\’t Donald Trump who, like him or don\’t, is...
Ken Berwitz It does not get any clearer than this. Donald Trump is currently the leading candidate to be the Republican Presidential nominee. -Trump has come out with a demand that no Muslims be allowed to enter the United States until “we find out what the hell is happening.” -Every major network news venue – NBC, ABC and CBS – have major...
Ken Berwitz Maybe it was the toilet paper shortage. Maybe it was the everything else shortage. Maybe it was the incompetence and corruption, Maybe it was all three and more. Whatever it was, Venezuela\’s Mesa de la UnidadDemocrática (MUD) coalition has not only taken control of the country\’snational assembly, it has overwhelmed it. The latest count...
Ken Berwitz Here is the latest example of Academic Brownshirts stifling any semblance of freedom of speech, in the name of never ever offending anyone (except whomever the University considers OK to offend, that is). From Eric Owens\’ article at dailycaller.com: Administrators at a private college in Coloradohave suspended a student for almost two years because he responded to...
Ken Berwitz Terrific cartoon from Glen McCoy. Why do I say this? Take a look, and you\’ll know:
Ken Berwitz Now that Donald Trump has opened the door so completely that three double-wides could get through it at the same time, it is no surprise that Hillary Clinton is quickly trying to capitalize. But, with Ms. Clinton\’s characteristic political tone-deafness, she is doing it in a way that makes her every bit as vulnerable as Donald Trump has made himself. Excerpted from Joel...
Ken Berwitz Here\’s a definite entry for this year\’s Darwin Award….in fact, as you will see from the following excerpt of a story in Sunday\’s Naples (Florida) News, we have four entries: A naked man accused of driving 110 mph across AlligatorAlley with three female passengers was arrested Saturday afternoon on a DUIcharge, the Florida Highway Patrol reported. Around...
