Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from President Barack Obama. Speaking on Thursday\’s edition of CBS\’s This Morning, Mr. Obama told the country that: “ISIL (that\’s ISIS to you less intellectual types) is NOT* going to pose an existential threat to us. They are a dangerous organization, like al-qaeda was, but….” Mr. Obama then went...
Ken Berwitz With a major hat tip to Katharine Timpf of National Review, here are summaries of three universities\’ idea of a holiday party (and be sure to click here for Ms. Timpf\’s entire article): -Cornell University: Cornell has informed its students that they should not use mistletoe for their holiday parties – not because it might generate a little kissing, but...
Ken Berwitz When Donald Trump told us that thousands and thousands of Muslims celebrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks, most mainstream media accused him of making the story up. Then newspaper articles started surfacing which referenced the celebrations – not the number of people Trump claimed, but that the celebrations took place. Fascinatingly, one of them, serge kovaleski –...
Ken Berwitz I have a bit of information, then a few questions, for the “journalists” at the New York Daily News, who decided that yesterday\’s front page should accuse Republican presidential candidates of being “cowards” (yes, that is the exact word they used) for offering condolences and prayers to the families of the people killed and injured at the San...
Ken Berwitz A quick note to point out that a number of web sites – none of them very familiar to me and none that I have a solid reason to trust – are reporting that Marco Rubio had a mistress – a Washington D. C. lobbyist – and their scandalous relationship is about to blow wide open. I don\’t know if this is true, and am not trying to suggest it is. I post...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Donald Trump. Speaking to an audience of Jewish Republicans, he said this: I\’m a negotiator like you, folks…Is there anyone in this room who doesn\’t negotiate deals? Probably more than any room I\’ve ever spoken.” This, I assume is supposed to ingratiate him to Jews. Just wondering: Would he tell a...
Ken Berwitz How comfortable are you with people on no-fly lists – presumably because they are too high a risk – being able to legally buy guns? Not at all, I hope. But yesterday, the Senate, due to almost unanimous agreement by Republican Senators, voted to block legislation that would have prevented them from doing so. This includes Republican Presidential...
Ken Berwitz “If a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn\’t make them Kobe Bryant.”: President Barack Obama, speaking about ISIS…oops, make that ISIL (that\’s what the really smart people call it), less than two years ago. Now CNN, the Washington Times, and other venues are reporting that tashfeen malik, the wife and terrorist accomplice of...
Ken Berwitz This one pretty much speaks for itself. Why does the “terrorist attack = stricter gun control laws” crowd never realize this? Why is it so hard for them to understand that gun control laws, however salutary they may be, do not address terrorism, because they do not mean a thing to people who disregard the law? When will they learn this? Ever?
Ken Berwitz Donald Trump\’s poll numbers are again soaring…because every time there is a terrorist attack, whether in Paris or in San Bernardino, California, his “bomb the shit out of them” and “take them out” comments – no explanation beyond that – resonate with voters (and don\’t for a second think we\’re only talking about...
Ken Berwitz Yesterday I put up the New York Daily News\’s first page – in which he called people who prayed for the victims of the San Bernardino terrorist attack (there\’s no doubt about that anymore) cowards, and called it the most disgusting front page of the year, Well, one day later, and here\’s competition: the Daily News front page this morning: Who edits this...
Ken Berwitz The following exchange took place at a Hillary Clinton town hall meeting in New Hampshire: Questioner: “You say that all rape victims should bebelieved. But would you say that about Juanita Broaddrick, KathleenWilley, and/or Paula Jones? Should we believe them as well? Clinton: Well, I would say that everybody should be believed at first, until they...
Ken Berwitz Were syed farook and tafsheen malik terrorists? Or is that an unfair attack on Muslims? Well, let\’s see. According to CBS News: The husband-and-wife attackers who slaughtered14 people at an employee banquet fired as many as 75 riflerounds in the assault, left behind three rigged-together pipe bombs with aremote-control device that apparently...
Ken Berwitz As someone who strongly supports significant gun control, that does not simply disarm law-abiding citizens, I have a challenge for the people who are screaming for more gun control laws after the San Bernardino massacre: Tell us what new gun control law would have prevented it. What new gun control law would have stopped syed farook and tashfeen malik from doing what they...
Ken Berwitz If they met online and he went to Saudi Arabia to marry her this spring, as is being claimed, how is it that they had a 6 month old baby? The story being floated about this two is mathematically impossible….which raises a ton of questions about who this “tafsheen malik” really is, what her relationship was to farook and, more generally what happened here. This is...
