Ken Berwitz Interesting phenomenon: oil prices have suddenly jumped from about $38 a barrel to the mid $40s. And the rise in oil has occurred as gasoline prices have finally lowered to where, in my opinion, they should have been already. This has caused a situation where gas at the pump is about where it should be relative to oil by the barrel. Hallelujah. Now: let\’s...
Hey, as long as there are Democrats calling Republicans terrorists, who support nazi tactics in deporting illegals, and as long as they are implying Jews who oppose the Iran “deal” are disloyal Americans, why not call congressional Republicans complicit endorsers of murder too? All it takes is mainstream media giving sick comments such as these a free pass –...
We now know what “racist comments” prompted vester lee flanagan – AKA bryce williams – to shoot and kill WDBJ newsperson Alison Parker, and Adam Ward, the cameraperson who had the misfortune to be with her at the time. They include Ms. Parker saying that she was “swinging by” a location and that she was “out in the field” covering a story. I feel it...
Has Hillary Clinton finally stanched her downward spiral? Uh….no. Excerpted from the decidedly leftward, usually Hillary-friendly, Des Moines Register: Liberal revolutionary Bernie Sanders, riding an updraft of insurgent passion in Iowa, has closed to within 7 points of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential race. She\’s the first choice of 37 percent of likely...
President Obama has already told us that “Republican hardliners” who oppose the nuclear “deal” he and John Kerry cooked up with Iran are comparable to Iranian terrorists who chant “death to America”. President Obama has already suggested that Jews who oppose the deal are disloyal – with his hard-left pals making this charge in so many words. And now we...
Ken Berwitz Hillary Clinton\’s presidential candidacy is sinking like an unlucky Mammoth in the La Brea tar pits. So what does she think will resurrect it? Here are two examples: -In Cleveland, on Thursday Clinton said this: “Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don\’t want to...
I assume most readers have noticed that, as Hillary Clinton\’s campaign continues to unravel, Jeb Bush\’s campaign is doing the same on the Republican side. That, folks, is the benefit of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders to this campaign. Like them or not, people are contrasting their straight-talk, no weasel-word BS campaigns with the standard-issue “say it in a way that...
Ken Berwitz Suppose NBC News reported that a White sheriff\’s deputy, in full uniform, shot a Black man, execution-style, while he was doing nothing other than filling his car with gas at a service station. Do you suppose race would be mentioned? Well, a short time ago, I watched NBC news report about a White sheriff\’s deputy, Darren H. Goforth of Harris County (Houston), Texas, who...
It is often said that the most dangerous animal is one who is cornered, and has nowhere else to go. Politically, the comaparative just might be an accomplished politician, looking for one job, who has been stopped dead by his own party…and has nothing to lose by lashing out and saying so. Excerpted from Philip Rucker, Ann Gearan and Dan Balz\’s article in the Washington...
CNN is telling us that it is not going to include Carly Fiorina among participants in the upcoming Republican debate it is hosting. Even though the polls say she is – in fact, the latest data show her in the top 7. Why? Here\’s a possible answer for you: Ms. Fiorina, as you may have noticed, is a woman. And a woman running Republican and doing well among...
Ken Berwitz What gorgeous, perfect beach day this is. My beautiful bride and I are taking full advantage of it, here on the sands of Avon By The Sea, down the Jersey Shore. (For you non-Jerseyites, that\’s Ah-von, not Ay-von.) Okay, enough of this chit chat. Time to head for the water. Political blogging re-commences later in the day. ================== We finished...
As anyone knows, I am, to say the least, no fan of Donald Trump\’s. But I know a hit job when I see one. And the Washington Post published a hit job on Trump that I feel compelled to call it out on. Here is the description, in Philip Rucker and Robert Costa\’s article, for the Washington Post, of Univision anchor Jorge Ramos\’s confrontation with Donald...
Ken Berwitz Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) has a problem. It can only find people on one side of a controversial issue. Yesterday, pro-choice Diane Rehm\’s show spent an hour called “New Tactics In the Anti-Abortion Movement”, which discussed the series of grisly, devastating Planned Parenthood videos issued by the Center for Medical...
Does Hillary Clinton really think she can “ice” Joe Biden – i.e. scare off big donors and, by so doing, scare off Biden too? Evidently so. From Gabriel Debenedetti\’s article at politico.com: Hillary Clinton\’s team is getting tired of the Joe Biden talk. And this week, they want to kill it. From a sprint through Iowa that deflected attention from the email saga to...
Ever hear of Stevie Riks? I didn\’t until ten minutes ago. But I just watched/listened to his “Misheard Lyrics” routine on various rock songs, and I laughed out loud – partly at what he was doing and partly on how unbelievably silly the presentation is. Click here and see what I\’m talking about. After that, we\’ll go back to politics, where most...
