YOGI BERRA R.I.P.

Ken Berwitz My last blog drew from an article by Lee Smith Mr. Smith, apparently, is also an avid baseball fan – or, at any rate, an avid Yogi Berra fan.  And he has written what amounts to a beautiful obituary for Mr. Berra, who passed away on Tuesday.  You can read it here, and please do. Personally, I saw Yogi Berra play many times at the old Yankee Stadium.  On TV, of...

Ken Berwitz Today\’s Paragraphs Of The Day come to us from Lee Smith (presumably not the great relief pitcher) of weeklystandard.com.

HILLARY CLINTON & MILLENNIAL WOMEN

Ken Berwitz Millennial women are generally defined as women born in the 1980\’s who reached adulthood around 2000 or shortly thereafter. Politically, this means that not only are they old enough to be 68 year old Hillary Clinton\’s daughters, they are almost all older than Hillary Clinton\’s actual daughter, who was born February 27, 1980.  Now:  how does...

Just asking….

THE DESECRATION OF MEMORIALS FOR FALLEN POLICE OFFICERS

Ken Berwitz Are you aware that memorials to fallen police officers are being desecrated all over the country? I\’m betting that this blog is the first you have heard of it happening.   First, let\’s get some particulars on the table, then we\’ll discuss why virtually all mainstream media are suppressing this story.

PRESIDENT OBAMA’S OPPOSITION TO BAIPA

Ken Berwitz Since my previous blog referenced the fact that President Obama opposed, and did whatever he could to block, the Illinois legislation that would have protected live babies out of the womb in 2008, I thought you might want to see what I wrote about it at the time.   From July 29, 2008:   OBAMA AND BAIPA (CONT.) Ken Berwitz I wrote about Barack Obama’s opposition to the Born...

PRESIDENT OBAMA: PRO-INFANTICIDE

Ken Berwitz That title is not misprint, a sarcasm or an exaggeration.  President Obama supports infanticide. From H. R. 3504, the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act”, which was introduced on Tuesday: (1) If an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to...

WHY IS KIM DAVIS NOT BACK IN JAIL?

Ken Berwitz kim davis is back as a Kentucky County Clerk.  And is refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples – as the law says she must (don\’t tell me about state law either; the Supreme Court ruled on this, which supersedes state laws.) Every time she refuses to do so she breaks the law.  She therefore has no business as a County Clerk.  All legal steps...

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD

Ken Berwitz “Food, Glorious Food” was one of the haunting, brilliant songs from Lionel Bart\’s musical “Oliver Twist”. Young Mr. Twist, as you might imagine, did a lot of fasting – though not willingly, for a religious holiday, as we did. But I doubt that he broke his fasts with the kind of food we had tonight.   Another year, another fast over...

DONALD TRUMP\’S WHINING CRYBABY CHILDISHNESS (CONT.)

Ken Berwitz Donald Trump?  Tweeting out whining, crybaby childishness?  Again?   Oh, brother. You can click here to read them all (and there will probably be more after I post this).  Here are just a few: oreillyfactor was very negative to me in refusing to to post the great polls that came out today including NBC.  .RichLowry is truly one of the dumbest of the...

HILLARY CLINTON\’S HEALTH: WHY IS THIS A NEW STORY?

Ken Berwitz Hillary Clinton\’s health is suddenly back in the news. The Drudge Report  is currently featuring a headline which states “Book:  She\’s Sick”, which links to a month-old National Enquirer article which claims Clinton may have had three strokes already, and is suffering from the early stages of multiple sclerosis.
