Ken Berwitz As any regular reader knows, I often blog about what I call New York Times “idiotorials”. In case you\’re wondering who edits them…. ….please read Clay Waters\’ remarkable rundown of the unreasoning – and sometimes fact-challenged – hatred Times Editorial Page Editor andrew rosenthal displays in discussing Republican aspirants...
Ken Berwitz The downward vortex continues to swirl. Excerpted from Nick Gass\’s article at politico.com: In the latest Monmouth (University) survey, Clinton drew 42 percent to Biden\’s 22 percent. Sanders picked up 20 percent, while 10 percent were undecided and all other candidates earned 1 percent or less. In last month\’s Monmouth poll, Clinton picked up 52...

Ken Berwitz The following excerpts are from Walter Williams\’ latest column for frontpagemag.com. I wish they could be required reading in every classroom in the United States – most especially in largely Black urban areas, where children are being taught the exact opposite of his fact-based common sense: It would be foolhardy to argue that slavery has had noeffect or that...
Ken Berwitz I know that title is very insulting. But it is no more insulting than what Hillary Clinton told the Associated Press in an interview yesterday. As reported by (AP competitor) Reuters: Democratic presidential front-runnerHillary Clinton told the Associated Press in an interview on Monday that shedid not need to apologize for using a private email account and server...
Ken Berwitz A major politician, one who might wind up winning the presidency, is angry. Very angry: “I\’m mad, I\’m angry,” (the politician) thundered, attacking the U.S. economy as “devastating for workers.” “Let me tell you something, man,” (the politician) said. “The tax code\’s not fair. The wealthy aren\’t...
Ken Berwitz Did you know that Kim Davis was a Republican? If you read the New York Times on Thursday, you do. The problem, however? Kim Davis is a Democrat. Oh, yes, the Times corrected itself afterwards….i.e. after its readership was told the complete opposite. Either that is one bodacious editing error, or there are people at The Times who do not like to acknowledge that...
Ken Berwitz What if a Republican, talking about Hillary Clinton\’s difficulty in obtaining an endorsement from AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka, said this: “Say you\’re in love with a girl and want to marry her. She\’s playing it cool. So you figure the best way to make her jealous is to flirt with someone else. Trumka wants to marry Hillary, but until she\’s...
Ken Berwitz A vortex is a whirling mass of air or water. I assume you do not need me to tell you why I see Hillary Clinton as being in a downward vortex – one which has continued pretty much from April 12th, when she announced her candidacy, right to the present time. The latest demonstration of that downward vortex? Bernie Sanders, a 73 year old Senator from a small...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from former Governor of Arkansas, cable show host, and current Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. This is what Huckabee had to say to George Stephanopoulos, on yesterday morning\’s This Week show, about the Kim Davis jailing: “You\’ve got Democrats who ignored the law when it was the law to have traditional marriage, Gavin...
Ken Berwitz President Obama likes to tell us about how much he has reduced the national debt – a debt, it should be noted, that has been “reduced” from years of trillion dollar plus deficits, every one of which occurred on his watch*. In case you\’re wondering how he is doing it, here\’s one of the ways, as excerpted from an article at examiner.com: As most...
Ken Berwitz As you may be aware, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the Democratic National Committee Chair, who represents Florida\’s (disproportionately Jewish) 23rd district, announced today that she is supporting the Iran “deal”. I did not see/hear her do so, but I read that it was a tortured decision which caused her to choke up with tears. To which I reply –...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) who is challenging Hillary Clinton for the Democrat presidential nomination. Here is what Mr. Sanders has to say about his campaign, compared to the downward-trajectory spiral of Ms. Clinton\’s: “Don\’t tell anybody. I think what theyknow is that four months ago, when I entered this race, if you...
Ken Berwitz Here we go again. Megan McCain, Senator John McCain\’s daughter, had the temerity to criticize Donald Trump on Fox News\’s “The Five” show. And here is Trump\’s reaction, via Twitter (which he seems to spend a great deal of time on): “Meghan McCain was terrible on The Fiveyesterday. Angry andobnoxious, she will never make it...
Ken Berwitz Have you noticed that the media narrative regarding Hillary Clinton\’s use of a personal server during her four years as Secretary of State has predominantly been about the effect it has on her presidential campaign? Well, there are far more important consequences than Ms. Clinton\’s political ambitions. Here are the first two paragraphs of Richard Pollock\’s...
