Ken Berwitz Here is a noteto the world\’s richest barroom loudmouth, Donald Trump, in the form of excerptsfrom JohnMerline\’s article at Investors BusinessDaily: DonaldTrump has boasted that he\’s “leading every poll and in most casesbig.” Not anymore. The latest IBD/TIPP Poll shows him in second place,seven points behind Ben Carson. Thenationwide survey...
Ken Berwitz I take nopleasure at all in posting that title. But it is the nicest thing I cansay about debbie wassserman schultz today. Fresh fromaccusing – about 90% directly, but with a tiny bit of weasel-out room – MarcoRubio of attended a fundraiser at the home of a nazi sympathizer – an absolutelie… … schultz isnow claiming – with the same tiny bit of...
Ken Berwitz The dismantling of Hillary Clinton\’s presidential campaign continues. Excerpted from Colleen McCain Nelson and Peter Nicolas\’s article in yesterday\’s Wall Street Journal: Some Hillary Clinton donors are defecting to Joe Biden, resisting entreaties from the Democratic front-runner\’s campaign to stand by her despite...
Ken Berwitz If you think this blog is primarily about how many illegals are going to be voting in the 2016 elections, you are wrong. That is the junior partner in what you are about to read. Paul Goldman and Mark Rozell, writing for politico.com, have put up an angle on the tidal wave of illegals into this country that I admit I never thought of…but which is so logical, and...
Ken Berwitz Elizabeth Warren. Ward Churchill. Andrea Smith. Jamake Highwater. And now Taffe Reed. Wow, a few more and they can start their own tribe. Excerpted from Blake Neff\’s article at dailycaller.com: Dartmouth College announced Thursday that Susan Taffe Reed, who attracted scorn and ridicule for claiming membership in an Indian tribe regarded by other Indians as...
Ken Berwitz Hi, remember me? In 1945 Billy Wilder made a terrific movie, starring Ray Milland, called “Lost Weekend”. In his case it referred to a man on an alcoholic binge. My lost weekend was a little less exotic…and certainly less refreshing. It had to do with some kind of a computer crash. But – albeit missing a few...
Ken Berwitz It\’s a long story, but all of my blogs from Saturday on are now missing. Not to worry, though, I have them. In about an hour I will put them back up in order – though, possibly, the comments will be missing – I\’m not sure. Sorry about that, but I think the problem\’s we have had are finally over.
Ken Berwitz Apropos of nothing political… Why do some people think they are doing you a favor whenthey give you driving directions with three times the amount of detail youneed? If you have to make a left at the fourth light, do you reallyneed to know that there\’s a Dunkin\’ Donuts at the second light, a pretty rosebush at the third light which you might not be able to see...
Ken Berwitz With the greatest of thanks to Pamela Geller – who did nothing other than what anyone in mainstream media could have, but just about none did – we find out that, on chris harper mercer\’s myspace page, he had exactly two friends: Jane Ortiz (who has virtually nothing on her page), and mahmoud ali ehsani. And here mahmoud ali ehsani\’s page...
Ken Berwitz The numbers are in, and they stink. The unemployment rate has stayed at 5.1% only because still more people have given up looking for work, leaving the job participation rate at a 38 year low. And what jobs are being created are predominantly being taken by “foreign born” workers – which, I would bet my bottom dollar, is a euphemism for illegal aliens willing...
Ken Berwitz The previous blog pointed out what an uninformed loudmouth Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is. Speaking of polar opposites, today\’s quote comes to us from another Republican presidential candidate – Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Here is what Mr. Rubio said about Russia and Syria, during the September 16th debate: “It\’s pretty...
Ken Berwitz Excerpted from article at cnn.com: Trump saidFriday that he would “absolutely” put Carson in his Cabinet if hewere to win the presidency. “I wouldput him — I\’d love to have that,” Trump said on MSNBC\’s “MorningJoe.” Trump calledCarson a “nice man” and said so far the two have had a “verygood...
Ken Berwitz I just caught the end of an interview, on CNN with joe olson, the former President of Upqua Community College. He informed us that there was a discussion about whether to have armed security at the school, there were people on both sides, and it was his decision not to have any. He was then asked if he regretted that decision. And as 10 students lay in the morgue and others...
Ken Berwitz Who is chris harper mercer, the killer of at least 10, with 7 more injured at Upqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon? Here is the first information I\’ve seen, taken from a surprisingly detailed article by Liam Stack in today\’s New York Times: -He was very withdrawn and very close to his mother; -He wpre combat boots, green army pants and a white T-shirt...
Ken Berwitz It was just hours after the Umpqua Community College massacre. The dead had not yet been counted. The names of the dead had not yet been released. The killer had not yet been named. His motives had not yet been determined – though there were reports (since confirmed) that he sought out Christians in particular. It was not known whether he acquired his guns legally...
