Ken Berwitz Latest reports are that 13 (though other reports range from 7 to 15) students have been killed and many others injured (which makes a higher death toll very likely) in the massacre of students at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. It is also being reported that the killer is no longer active – meaning he has been captured alive or is dead. I don\’t know...
Ken Berwitz Today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the United Nations about the Iran nuclear “deal”. The most dramatic part of Mr. Netanyau\’s speech? Enumerating the threats Iran has made against Israel, accusing the UN – with absolute accuracy – of “deafening silence” regarding those threats. Then glaring at the delegates...
Ken Berwitz As we watch Russia bomb anti-assad rebels with not a fear in the world that anyone – certainly not the USA and just as certainly not the UN – will do a thing about it, I thought I would repost this blog, from September 27th, 2013….just in case anyone thinks that the incompetence and ineptitude of President Obama and Secretary Of State John Kerry are something new to...
Ken Berwitz From the great Investors Business Daily cartoonist Michael Ramirez, comes this simultaneously funny and sad….and painfully descriptive explanation of Hillary Clinton\’s current political condition. Inevitable? Yeah, right.
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from the world\’s richest barroom loudmouth, Donald Trump, who,while on CNN yesterday, told show host Don Lemon that: “I love the fact that ISIS is being hit by Russia” The problem? ISIS is not being hit by Russia. Russia is hitting rebel troops which the US supports in their fight aganist the mass murderer, bashar...
Ken Berwitz Based on their play over the last week, I have a new name for the New York Yankees. Because, though it is still highly unlikely, they have managed to put themselves at risk of being shut out of the playoffs – which, just a week ago seemed to be no issue at all – I am now calling them the Tankees.
Ken Berwitz Hillary Clinton\’s campaign reported that it raised $28 million over the past quarter. That sounds pretty impressive, until you consider the fact that Bernie Sanders, an obscure senator from Vermont who is challenging her for the Democrat nomination (while Joe is Biden his time), raised just about as much – $26 million. She can\’t outraise Bernie...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s paragraph comes to us from Gail Collins – New York Times op-ed columnist, staunch leftist and, apparently, just as staunch defender of Planned Parenthood. Ms. Collins\’ latest column deals with this week\’s House hearing, in which Cecile Richards, CEO of Planned Parenthood, testified. While referencing a question from one of the hated...
Ken Berwitz Rarely do I repost a columnist\’s entire piece. But in this case – with great apologies – and admiration – to retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters, writing for the New York Post, I am making an exception. Here is Mr. Peters\’ assessment of the situation in Syria – how vladimir putin has again shown Barack Obama up for the weak, inept...
Ken Berwitz I just read Matthew Balan\’s blog at newsbusters.org, which describes how CNN New Day\’s host, Chris Cuomo, invited David Daleiden, who was behind the Planned Parenthood videos that CNN and ABC and NBC and CBS and MSNBC have done their best to suppress (have you seen even one minute\’s worth of the videos on any of those networks?). Apparently, instead of...
Ken Berwitz Can this possibly be a surprise? From David Eldridge\’s article at rollcall.com Rep Luis V. Gutierrez, one of Congress\’ most outspoken advocates for immigrants, on Wednesday called for expanding the Affordable Care Act to cover all of the estimated 11 million undocumented migrants in the United States. “The goal is to make integration and inclusion real for...
Ken Berwitz Led by twitchy.com\’s postings, the conservative blogosphere is jumping to report that, in yesterday\’s hearings, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards (former Texa Governor Ann Richards\’ daughter, in case you\’re interested) either said or acknowledged that 86% of Planned Parenthood\’s revenues come from abortion. Well, you have to be a bit...
Ken Berwitz To the folks who either claim, or believe the claim – that those Planned Parenthood videos, made by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), were “heavily edited” or “doctored” (they mean different things), I have a question: How come, in all the instances where this has been claimed – and it has been pretty much an everyday occurrence among...
Ken Berwitz Can this be true? Has the Obama administration allowed over 1,500 people with overt terrorist ties, into the United States – with more to come? If your response is “That couldn\’t be true, I watch the network news every night and didn\’t see a thing about it” you can stop reading now. You\’re assumption that network news – or...
Ken Berwitz Here is the beginning of Pamella Geller\’s excellent, insightful article about ahmed mohamed, the 14 year old “victim” who apparently took the inside of a Radio Shack clock to school in a casing that made it look like a bomb, pretended he had “invented” it, got his desired result – a reaction to what could have been a bomb, which any intelligent...
