Ken Berwitz Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws of any major city in the United States. Maybe the strictest of all. This past weekend, there were 45 shootings in Chicago, leaving at least 8 dead (as of now). So far in 2015, there have been 2,206 recorded shootings in Chicago, resulting in 328 deaths. Here are the data, by race: ace of...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from that noted humanitarian…and dear friend of al sharpton\’s (who MSNBC had no shame in putting on its weekday lineup for years, and now has given a Sunday morning show)…louis farrakhan. Here is what farrakhan had to say about those “wicked Jews” (his words, not mine) to an enthusiastically receptive Black crowd, just...
Ken Berwitz It is all over the news today that Scott Walker, whose campaign went from something to nothing over the summer, will drop out of the Presidential race tonight. If this had happened in July or August it would have been a big deal. Now, however, it is an asterisk. Still way too many people in this race, including people, like Gilmore, Pataki, and a few others, who have about as...
Ken Berwitz Did you happen to see this video, from August 4th, which has angry, emotional, insulting…and thoroughly dishonest….Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) attacking fellow senators who support the defunding of Planned Parenthood? Please click on the link, watch it all (less than 2 1/2 minutes), and then follow along with me on how many lies Warren told: -0:17...

Ken Berwitz In Raul and Fidel Castro\’s Cuba, dissidents – i.e. people who do not like the freedomless hellhole it has been for the past 55 years – are being arrested and otherwise prevented from meeting with the Pope. And he seems to have no problem with this. In the United States, President Obama has stocked the welcoming ceremony with, among others, a...
Ken Berwitz Hey, they jail dissenters in China. In Iran, sometimes they don\’t even bother – they kill them (while President Obama stands by and does nothing, like in 2009 – apparently practicing for Syria years later). So why not use the RICO act to go after climate change dissenters in the USA – especially when they dare to disagree that there is man-made...
Ken Berwitz Apropos of nothing political…. This week summer will end, and it will be fall. But I just came back in from our garden, the one that has been feeding us and pretty much everyone we know since before July 4th, with basil, tomatoes, a cucumber or two and a zucchini so big that they could use it to anchor a medium-sized Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Best garden and...
Ken Berwitz Congratulations to 14 year old ahmed mohamed (his name now will go uncapitalized). Not for creating a clock and being victimized by his Irving Texas high school when he brought it in to show to his teachers… …but for pulling the guts out of a 1986 model Radio Shack clock, putting them into a suspicious-looking case that could easily have housed a bomb, and bringing it...

Ken Berwitz Being grandparents is great! We are on our way back home now, having spent Saturday – day and night – with our beautiful grandchildren, while their mom and dad attended a wedding in Manhattan. We couldn\’t have had more fun! The next blog I write will be about politics. Which, I assure you, does not come under the heading of fun. Not for me, &, almost...
