Ken Berwitz For years, we have been treated to the steady ratatat of “journalists” assuring us that 97% of the scientific community believes in “anthropogenic climate change” (that\’s a big word meaning “caused by humans”….and, yes, the term used to be “athropogenic global warming”, until proponents…including many recipients...
Ken Berwitz Here are the first two paragraphs of J. K. Trotter\’s article for the (usually leftward, Democrat-friendly) gawker.com, which should disabuse even people in full denial mode…. Few journalists are more thoroughly connected toWashington\’s power elite than Politico\’s ChiefWhite House correspondent Mike Allen. But as newlyreleased emails between the...
Ken Berwitz Here is the first and last paragraph of an article written by Peter Hermann, which appeared in the Washington Post\’s November 18th edition: District police are searching for a group of teenagers whothey said attacked a woman and her child in their sport utility vehicle inGeorgetown earlier this week and smashed the sun roof with a rock. Police had no descriptions of the...
Ken Berwitz President Obama just started talking. His opening? “I just talked to MY Nationa Security Advisor, MY Attorney General, MY……….. This is one of the many reasons I have a problem with Barack Obama. They are not HIS, they are OURS. He says it all the time, and it infuriates me every time he says...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs – which, in actuality, comprise his entire blog – come to us from powerlineblog.com\’s Scott Johnson. Here is what Mr. Johnson has to say about President Obama\’s joint press conference, yesterday, with French President Francois Hollande: As President Obamaenters the stretch closing out his second term, he is dedicating himself...
Ken Berwitz Chicago is seething. The reason? Release of a video tape from last year\’s shooting/killing of 17 year old Laquan McDonald, by police officer Jason Van Dyke. While we still do not know all the facts regarding this case, the video, by itself, seems to make it clear that this was an unjustified police shooting. Even if Officer Van Dyke\’s first shots do turn...
Ken Berwitz Why is there enmity – significant and growing – between Israel and the Obama administration? In answer, I will post the first part of Jeff Jacoby\’s latest commentary for the Boston Globe. See if you can figure out the answer for yourself.

Ken Berwitz My wife and I were just in a party goods store, to pick up items for the upcoming holidays. It was toward the end of the store\’s hours. There were just a couple of customers, and the only employees I saw were three females – two middle aged women and one young woman, probably still in high school. A Black man walked into the store. Physically, he looked...
Ken Berwitz Apropos of nothing political… ….with Thanksgiving approaching, let me say this year what I say every year. Speaking as someone who enjoys food as much as anyone – more than most, actually – I would rather go hungry than eat tofurkey. Even the sound of it repulses me. Ok, back to politics – which, sometimes, makes even tofurkey sound good by...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from something called the Princeton Open Campus Coalition – which, I am certain, is a newly formed organization. It has sent a letter in which it requests a meeting with Princeton\’s President, Christopher Eisgruber. But instead of enumerating a list of demands, one of which is that Mr. Eisgruber resign because he is not sensitive...
Ken Berwitz No need to blog here. Just look at the New York Daily News\’s front page: The end. And I do mean the end.
Ken Berwitz Suppose I said the following to you: “I don\’t believe in race. There is only one human race. America is a melting pot and it is the land of opportunity”. Would you feel I had a positive outlook, maybe even call me a bit of a dreamer? Would you see me as someone who has good things to say about others, and about where we live? Well, if so, you...
Ken Berwitz I congratulate the New York Times for doing something I would have thought just about impossible. The Times managed to publish an entire editorial about Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post journalist just sentenced to jail in Iran, without once mentioning President Barack Obama\’s refusal to include his release, and the release of two – possibly three –...
Ken Berwitz In case anyone tells you that there is anything even remotely approaching political neutrality at major college campuses… …you might mention the following facts to them, as reported by Kathryn Watson of dailycaller.com: Administrators andprofessors have funneled seven times more cash to federal Democratic candidatesand causes than to Republicans since 1990, according...
Ken Berwitz First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for...
