Today\’s quote comes to us from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer. And, before you read it, I suggest you brace yourself, because you might fall over – either from disbelief or because you are laughing so hard. Do you remember Eric Garner? He was the serial miscreant who police tried to arrest while he was illegally selling cigarettes. Garner, who had...
Let me try to show you how divorced President Obama\’s description of the nuclear “deal” with Iran is from reality: Excerpted from Eli Lake\’s piece at bloombergview.com: Representative Devin Nunes, a California Republican, told me Tuesday that President Barack Obama was incorrect in asserting that the nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers will keep Iran...
A nuclear “deal” has been reached with Iran. Here is a picture of the proud group that is basking in the glow as they take credit for it. (From L to R) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, Iranian...
To nobody\’s surprise, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, today, announced his candidacy for President. There is a lot to like about Governor Walker. And, frankly, a lot to dislike – mostly regarding social issues. But anyone who underestimates a conservative who can win multiple elections – first in the city of Milwaukee and then in the state of Wisconsin –...
Two weeks ago Oil was about $61 a barrel. Since then, it has dropped slightly below $50 a barrel and, as I write this, is about $52 a barrel. That\’s a drop of 15%. But gas prices, at least in my area, have not dropped at all. My one-word question: why?
This latest installment of in the Real Racism series comes to us from Chicago. According to Susan Pederson, she had just dropped a friend off on the South Side, near the University of Chicago, and was driving home with her two small children in the back. She stopped at a light. And here, according to Eric Horng\’s article for ABC affiliate WLS-TV, is what happened then: Police say...
It is no surprise that there are Mexicans who do not like Donald Trump. And it should be no surprise that one such Mexican is joaquin “el chapo” guzman, the head of Mexico\’s sinaloa drug cartel, who just escaped from prison in Mexico City in a way that inherently required him to have a good number of accomplices. Now that guzman is out, he has gone on twitter – ...
This is the easiest of blogs to write…because all I have to do is put up the statement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made regarding the incredibly stupid Iran “deal” being cooked up by our twin incompetents, Barack Obama and John Kerry. From today\’s article in the Times of Israel: Prime Minister Netanyahu says that as Iran was welcoming the world\’s...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Brianna Keilar, whose clearly warm feelings about Hillary Clinton probably caused the Clinton campaign, after three months of shamelessly ducking mainstream media, to select her for a one-on-one interview. On yesterday\’s CNN State Of The Union show, here is how Ms. Keilar characterized that interview – immediately after Democrat...
Let me start by providing a few links I found at the invaluable drudgereport.com. I certainly urge you to read them…but I think that, even if you don\’t, the titles themselves tell the story:. Iran, powers near to historic deal; USA says tough issues remain... Tehran Made Illegal Purchases of Nuke Weapons Technology LAST MONTH... EFFIGY OF OBAMA TORCHED DURING...
A short time ago I wrote a blog criticizing Pope Francis for his coming encyclical about climate change. I reminded the Pope that his status as Vicar of Christ relates to religious matters, not the political cause du jour. My exact words were “… in my admittedly limited research on the bible, I cannot recall ever seeing him designated as Vicar Of Environmental...
Ken Berwitz Apropos of nothing political… So I\’m using one of those retractable hoses in the front of our house. I bought it a year ago, &, since then, it has sprung four different leaks – but I have managed, through judicious use of marine glue and duct tape, to keep it going anyway. Until this morning. I\’m busy watering a rose bush and all of a sudden, I hear a...
I just googled “Baltimore tourism Freddie Gray” and “has tourism in Baltimore been affected since the death of Freddie Gray”, then looked at the first couple of pages. I cannot find one article written since April that talks about this. My guess – and I think it is a pretty logical one – is that if tourism was not affected by these events...
The New York Times could not have done more for sales of Senator/presidential candidate Ted Cruz\’s new book, if its “brain trust” (such as it is) allowed it on the Times Best Seller List, and wrote a glowing review…..instead of denying it a place on the list and writing no review at all. Could the Times\’ partisanship possibly have been...
Thank you, Megan Murphy. Ms. Murphy, who writes for London\’s Financial Times, has written an honest assessment of the three months since Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for President – the kind that you are not going to find in almost any mainstream media on this side of the pond. Here is the beginning of her commentary….along with an exhortation...
