TRUMP ROAST

Ken Berwitz I do not recall another instance of a major Presidential candidate making a statement so quickly and vehemently condemned by other candidates on both sides of the political aisle. And deservedly so. Donald Trump, the world\’s richest barroom loudmouth, has proven – again – that he has absolutely no business being anywhere near the Oval Office. The same man who...

ASK A QUESTION, GET AN ANSWER…

Ken Berwitz A good lawyer should never ask a question he or she does not already know the answer to. Cable News show hosts, by the nature of their medium, can\’t orchestrate their questioning that way.  They can only hope their questions get the answers they are looking for. But sometimes they get answers which force them to admonish the questioner on-air…..and get the...

A QUICK QUESTION FOR DEMOCRATS WHO WANT TO BAN GUNS FOR PEOPLE ON THE NO-FLY LIST

Ken Berwitz 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 a serious appeal process in case there are mistakes): Do you think we should ban people on the terrorist watch list from working in the Department of Homeland Security? Excerpted from Adam Kredo\’s...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes from Richard Engel – the NBC/MSNBC correspondent who, to say the least, is not what you\’d call a Republican partisan. Here, while on Chris Matthews\’ “Hardball” show last night, is the first thing he said about President Obama\’s speech: “He laid out this strategy, again. And it\’s really the same strategy...

HILLARY\’S EXCELLENT POLICY ADVENTURE

Ken Berwitz I do not like or trust Hillary Clinton.  But any day she makes an excellent proposal, she deserves credit.  And yesterday was one such day. From David E. Sanger\’s article in yesterday\’s New York Times: HillaryClinton said on Sunday that the Islamic State had become “themost effective recruiter in the world” and that the only solution was to...

ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA\’S DEMAND THAT CONGRESS AUTHORIZE MILITARY FORCE…

THE PRESIDENT\’S SPEECH

Ken Berwitz Blah blah blah. The President\’s speech:  14 minutes of assurances that we are currently doing everything possible to destroy ISIS and, more generally international terrorism.  Not one new strategy.  Not one new policy.   Does anyone seriously think we are currently doing everything possible to destroy ISIS and, more generally international terrorism...

linda stasi: PIG

Ken Berwitz If you have the stomach, here is linda stasi\’s latest commentary for the new york daily news.   In keeping with the ugly, sick verbal vomit spewed by this “newspaper” about the San Bernardino massacre – in which it equates the National Rifle Association to terrorist murderers and calls politicians who offer condolences and prayers to the victims\’...

A QUICK QUESTION FOR HILLARY CLINTON, ABOUT RAHM EMANUEL

Ken Berwitz A quick question for Hillary Clinton.  Since Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago and long-time closer-than-close confidante of yours, is being battered by Black activists who are calling him a racist and demanding his resignation…  …what will you say when your opponents, both Democrat and Republican, demand that you publicly take a position one way or the...

IS THIS OUR FUTURE? WHAT IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DOING ABOUT IT?

Ken Berwitz Here, excerpted from Darren Boyle\’s article in London\’s Daily Mail, is a chilling reminder of what happens when terrorist organizations are allowed to grow, virtually unabated: ISIS has recruitedexperts with chemistry, physics and computer science degrees to wage war withweapons of mass destruction against the West, a shocking European Parliamentreport has...

CHRIS CHRISTIE TAKES ON THE NEW YORK TIMES

Ken Berwitz Yesterday\’s New York Times editorial makes the truly incredible claim that the terrorist atrocity in San Bernardino, California showed President Obama was correct when he said, the week before, that there was no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland (I\’ll leave it to you to figure out how a terrorist attack shows that), and then pumps out...
