Ken Berwitz It wasn\’t enough that, during CNN\’s Democrat debate, Hillary Clinton was given more time to speak than anyone else. Now it appears that the network (which, during her husband\’s time as President, many sarcastically reffered to as the “Clinton News Network”) is deleting comments critical of her as well. From Brian Maloney\’s blog at...
Ken Berwitz Which part of President Obama\’s foreign policy is a more complete disaster: Afghanistan or Syria? The competition is fierce. We already know – or I hope we do – that President Obama botched Syria completely. No leadership, talking tough about “red lines” that Syria ignored, with no consequences whatsoever, and now over a quarter...
Ken Berwitz My son called up to tell me I should put on the Texas Toronto game. Boy was he ever right. In the top of the 7th inning (which just ended, after 53 minutes), Texas went ahead of Toronto, 3 – 2 when, with a runner on third, Toronto catcher Russell Martin threw the ball back to the pitcher, but it hit the batter\’s bat and careened toward third base. The...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraphs come to us from Daniel Greenfield, the erudite, prolific, and a lot of other three and four syllable words worth, regular contributor to frontpagemag.com. This is just a part of his take on yesterday\’s Democrat debate: Amid this nonsense, Jim Webb broke in with occasionaloutbursts of common sense. When “gun violence” was being...
Ken Berwitz Remember Cecil the Lion? Remember the weeks of non-stop coverage over his death, and what a horrific crime it was? Remember the demands that his killer, Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, be extradited and tried for killing such a beloved icon? Well, forget about it. Zimbabwe says everything is OK and Walter Palmer is persona grata again. Excerpted from USA...
Ken Berwitz Note to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton: The reason “those damn emails”, as Sanders referred to them, are bringing down Hillary Clinton\’s poll numbers, is because she allowed this country\’s foreign policy – including every document that was, became, or always implicitly should have been, classified – to be available for hacking by any country...
Ken Berwitz Let\’s start with the end. Who is the winner of last night\’s Democrat Presidential debate? To quote a famous spouse of one of the candidates, it depends on what “is” is. If what we\’re talking about is who did the best job debating, the winner – based on every post debate poll I have seen, is Bernie Sanders, hands down. In the...
Ken Berwitz I\’ll blog about the debate itself tomorrow. But two comments about Anderson Cooper as its moderator: 1) He is asking serious, tough questions for which he should be commended. 2) He is giving Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but mostly Hillary Clinton, an inordinate amount of time at the expense of the others on the podium. While it is true that they are the major...
Ken Berwitz I just tuned in to CNN and noticed that they have a panel discussing what might happen in tonight\’s presidential debate. It consists of leftward Democrat Peter Beinart, Democrat operative Donna Brazile, Democrat operative Paul Begala, and the moderator is Democrat Anderson Cooper — who, not incidentally, will also be moderating the debate. How nice to see that CNN is...
Ken Berwitz Planned Parenthood, which vehemently denied profiting from aborted baby parts….announced today that it is no longer going to accept money for “fetal tissue”. Here\’s my favorite part of the article I just linked you to: The group\’s president Cecile Richards disclosed the policy change in a letter to the National Institutes of Health, which...
Ken Berwitz Months ago that title would have looked ridiculous. But now? Excerpted from Dana Blanton\’s article at foxnews.com: As Democrats prepare fortheir first debate Tuesday evening, the latest Fox News national poll findslittle movement in the primary. Clinton remains the front-runner amongDemocratic primary voters (45 percent), with Bernie Sanders (25 percent) andBiden...
Ken Berwitz From an article at cbsnews: A pair of Palestinian men boarded a bus in Jerusalem and began shooting and stabbing passengers, while another assailant rammed a car into a bus station before stabbing bystanders, in near-simultaneous attacks Tuesday that escalated a monthlong wave of violence. Three Israelis and one attacker were killed. The Jerusalem attacks, along with...
Ken Berwitz There was a fascinating editorial in yesterday\’s Investors Business Daily. It suggested that the policies espoused by self-described socialist Bernie Sanders, and hard-left poseur Hillary Clinton (at least until it is expedient not to be), have been a huge windfall….for exactly the people they rail against. Big banks and big business. On what do they base this...
Ken Berwitz “We have allowed our Police Department to get fetal, and it is having a direct consequence. They have pulled back from the ability to interdict …they don\’t want to be a news story themselves, they don\’t want their career ended early, and it\’s having an impact. “What happened post-Baltimore, what happened post-Ferguson is having an...
Ken Berwitz Don\’t like Hillary Clinton as a candidate? Then attack her daughter Chelsea in the most personal, vicious way you can. What a great idea. That\’ll show \’em. If you have any sense of decency, and/or an IQ above 47, olaf ekberg\’s blog at theamericanmirror.com (it is too short to excerpt) should sicken you to your core: It must...
