WTI oil opens at $38.95, down $1.50 RBOB gasoline opens at $1.5140 a gallon, down 3.09 cents. What happens when the market opens with a major-league plunge, as everyone seems to be predicting? I\’ll update during the day. ================================================ UPDATE: At 4:51PM, WTI oil is at $38.25, down $2.20 for the day, a drop of about 37% in two months… …and...
Ken Berwitz One of Hillary Clinton\’s scariest nightmares took place this weekend. Joe Biden met with Senator Elizabeth Warren. If Warren, who has endorsed no one so far, should decide to cast her lot with Biden, it would, at the very least, offset Hillary\’s “I am a woman” exclusivity… …and, conceivably, put her in line as Biden\’s...
Ken Berwitz I just watched a segment of Meet the Press, which discussed Hillary Clinton\’s email scandal. The two panelists? -Howard Dean, former Democrat presidential candidate and huge Hillary Clinton supporter, -Peter Hart, Democrat pollster who, during the interview, referred to Ms Clinton as a “marvelous” candidate with “intelligence, experience and...
How do you like your “human rights” hypocrisy? Nice and clear, so there\’s no mistake about it? If so, good. Because I\’ve got a nice, clear, no mistake about it example from Norway – a country which makes no secret of its hatred for Israel and Israelis (do you read that as “the Jewish state and Jews”? Maybe you\’ve got a...
Peggy Hubbard is a Black woman who grew up in Saint Louis and just made a video discussing the police, and Black-on-Black violence. Ms. Hubbard is angry. She uses a lot of profane language. But the opinions she expresses, I have no doubt, are shared by multitudes of Black people she is courageous enough to speak for on a video….which has been viewed over 5 million...
Today\’s paragraphs come to us from Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post – who, I assure you, is strongly supportive of Hillary Clinton. Her latest column is in the form of a letter to Ms. Clinton. Here are its first two paragraphs: Your e-mail problem has mushroomed from a self-inflicted nuisance to a self-inflicted wound. The reason is simple: At every decision point...
Black Skin Privilege is a term recently introduced by former communist/left wing radical-turned-conservative activist David Horowitz. It refers to the free pass media give Black radicals, who seem incapable of saying or doing anything ugly enough to be criticized for it. Matthew Vadum, writing for Horowitz\’s frontpagemag.com has provided a very worthwhile commentary...
Let me start with a statement of disclosure: as anyone who regularly reads this blog knows, I am no Donald Trump fan. I refer to him as “the world\’s richest barroom loudmouth” – because I see him as an egomaniacal, bombastic man whose popularity is not as a viable presidential candidate, but as someone running for president whose direct, blunt opinions...
Apropos of nothing political… If I see that stupid Acura commercial with the “Holiday Road” song and the blonde waving at the driver one more time I am going to start throwing things at the TV screen. Acura apparently thinks it has something special there. To me, it sells neither the car nor the movie….and even if it did, relentlessly running the same commercial...
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is currently at $40.45 a barrel – the lowest it has been since Barack Obama took office…which is when it started climbing, and stayed higher throughout his first 6 1/2 years in office, which is a little something the Obama people conveniently forget to mention. RBOB (Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending) gasoline futures are currently at $1.54 a...
Remember Aesop\’s fable about the sour grapes? In case you don\’t, I\’ll post it below: A very hungry fox walked into a vineyard where there was an ample supply of luscious looking grapes. Grapes had never looked so good, and the fox was famished. However, the grapes hung higher than the fox could reach. He jumped and stretched and hopped and reached and jumped some...
Ken Berwitz Just how much of a liar is Hillary Clinton? Well, here are excerpts from the New York Post\’s editorial of August 16th, which provide a partial – repeat, partial – compilation: “I remember landing under sniper fire.” “I actually started criticizing the war in Iraq before [Obama] did.” “We came out of the White House not only dead broke...
This politically incorrect and probably very unfair joke was just sent to me by my sister. See if you laugh too: So I was walking through the mall and I saw a Mexican Book Store. Being curious as to what was in it, I went in. The clerk asked if he could help me. I asked “Do you have a copy of Donald Trump\’s book on his U.S. Immigration Policy regarding illegal...
While we\’re on the subject of mainstream media abrogating its journalistic responsibilites, almost certainly based on partisanship…. Two days ago I also blogged about the beyond-astonishing revelation that President Obama and Secretary Of State Kerry agreed that Iran could perform its own inspections of a nuclear facility. Yes, you read that right. Iran was given the green...
Two days ago I blogged about the latest Planned Parenthood video released by the Center for Medical Progress – during which a former Planned Parenthood employee discussed, in grisly detail, how her supervisor showed her the beating heart of a baby…before sticking s scissors into its face to kill it, taking care to avoid hitting the brain, which was slated to be extracted...
