In the previous blog I put up what I thought was the most idiotic headline of the year. I still do, but this one is definitely competitive….and, incredibly, it comes from the same web site. Here is how cbsnews.com headlined Donald Trump\’s rejection of a potential endorsement from career racist/anti-Semite David Duke – who complimented Trump earlier this week: Donald...
Did you know that no presidential candidate of either party supports gun control? Neither did I. But here is the headline currently being used for Rebecca Kaplan\’s article at cbsnews.com: “After Roanoke, Hillary Clinton is the lone 2016 voice for gun control” Please note that this does not say Clinton is the lone voice for additional or more stringent gun control...
In the just-released Quinnipiac poll, referenced in the previous blog, respondents were asked “What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Hillary Clinton?” Here is every answer that received 10 or more mentions: Liar: 178, Dishonest: 123, Untrustworthy: 93, Experience: 82, Strong: 59, Bill: 56, Woman: 47, Smart: 31, Crook: 21, Untruthful: 19, Criminal: 18...
Among the results of the latest Quinnipiac poll – as reported by Arit John of bloomberg.com: Here\’s one more reason to continue speculating about whether Vice President Joe Biden will enter the presidential race: he polls better nationally against the leading three Republican candidates than Hillary Clinton, and has a higher favorability rating, too. According to a Quinnipiac...
Has Barack Obama intentionally bought media bias, by giving high-level positions to spouses and siblings of media big shots? I received this from our pal Toy Insurance Bob this morning. I have checked every part, it is 100% true: YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS SYSTEM WAS RIGGED AND YOU COULDN\’T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, HUH? THIS MIGHT SOLVE THE PUZZLE. ABC News executive producer Ian...
Are you aware of how significantly violent crime has spiked this year – especially in major cities with large Black populations? Let me start by putting up these excerpts from an article published last July 10th at USA Today: After years of declining violent crime, several major American cities experienced a dramatic surge in homicides during the first half of this...
John Hinderaker has written a short, excellent, response to the standard-issue politicking of Barack Obama immediately after Alison Parker and Adam Ward were shot and killed by an angry, bigger, deranged man who – I think we would all agree – should never, ever have been legally able to purchase a gun. Here is a taste, in the form of a short part of what Earnest said and...
How ridiculous is Donald Trump? Here is a link to Jesse Byrnes\’ article at thehill.com, titled “Trump vows no more \’bimbo\’ tweets”. And here are a few excerpts….in rust, with my comments in blue: Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would stop sharing tweets referring to Fox News host Megyn Kelly as a...
Let me start with my conclusion: Hillary Clinton is too phony to be believed. And whatever else you may think of the #blacklivesmatter bunch, they\’re too smart to think this kind of pandering, clearly aimed in their direction, has an ounce of sincerity. Now let me show you what prompted the above comments – this statement, which is taken, verbatim...
Ken Berwitz The following is a statement from Jeff Marks, station manager at WDBJ, which employed Alison Parker and Adam Ward, the reporter and cameraperson killed this morning by Vester Lee Flanagan, AKA Bryce Williams, a former employee of the station: “I\’ll tell you what I know.

Just before noon, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil is at $39.24 a barrel – that\’s down about 35% in slightly over two months. And Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending (RBOB) gasoline is at $137.93 a gallon – that\’s down about 21% in just the past two weeks. Why are gasoline prices not falling accordingly? And when do we get outraged by the fact that they are...
If you happen to be running a social event this political season, I\’d suggest you do not seat Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly at the same table. But you already knew that, didn\’t you? Well, did you know that the same apparently goes for Ms. Kelly and Ted Cruz? Cruz, who seems to have something of a man-crush on Trump, doesn\’t like tough questions from Kelly any more than The...

Here is the latest in our ongoing series of what we lose if we lose Israel. Excerpted from an article from the Environmental News Service: StoreDot is developing a new type of battery with innovative, synthesized organic compounds that the Israeli company promises will charge an electric car in five minutes, providing 300 miles (480 km) of driving distance. That\’s more than twice as fast...
