Today\’s quote comes to us from Mandy Hitchcock, who writes for huffingtonpost.com. In her latest piece, Ms. Hitchcock imbues us with a nugget of information that I have to admit I have never seen or heard before – that White people invented racism. Not that there are White people who engage in racism, mind you – I assume we all know that such White people exist. No...
I count Walter Williams as one of the Black people I wish more Black people would listen to. And his latest column, titled “Fiddling Away the Future”, is a classic example of why. A few key excerpts: Let\’s list major problems affecting black Americans. Topping the list is the breakdown in the black family, where only a third of black children are raised in two-parent...
Over the past week, no doubt fueled (bad pun there) by the Greek tragedy and its effect on the euro, oil prices have dropped 10%. As I write this, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is at $54.13 a barrel. Last week it was over $60 a barrel. Where will it go from here? Your guess is as good as mine. =========================================== UPDATE: As of 3:52PM Eastern time...
Ken Berwitz For years I have considered “UN” to stand for “Useless and Neutered”. There are many reasons why. But few as starkly clear as this. The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is now in its 10th year of existence. During that time, it has issued a total of 116 condemnations to all of the countries of the world combined. Here is the list of those...
Matthew Vadum, writing for Canada Free Press, has provided us with an excellent, though unsettling, even scary, explanation of why a young woman, Kate Steinle, was shot down and killed by an illegal alien who had already been deported 5 times, while she and her parents were doing nothing other than strolling on Pier 14 in San Francisco. Here is an excerpt…which I ask you to read...
Suppose I told you that Hillary Clinton is running as a political moderate (i.e. her sudden lurch back to the left somehow does not count), was a “mainstream, moderate, pro-business” Senator (try to find a major issue her senate votes were not on the left side of), and that Bernie Sanders, a self-professed socialist is part of the Democrat Party\’s “economic populist...
…who think stricter gun control laws mean less gun violence. In Chicago, over the July 4th weekend so far (there were still about 8 hours to go when this was last updated), 8 people have been shot to death and 41 have been wounded. Chicago has among the strictest – if not the single strictest – gun control laws of any major city in the United States. My quick...
Juan Cole is a history professor at the University of Michigan. He is also a far-leftist and Israel hater. But you don\’t need me to tell you this – not if you read his June 21st blog entry…the one in which he blames pro-Israel Jews for dylann roof\’s shooting spree at a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina. Here is how it begins: The Muslim-hatred of...
This poll, which measures media credibility, intrigues me more than most. That is because instead of asking whether we believe mainstream media, it asks whether mainstream media are intentionally misinforming us. Excerpted from Ken Paulson\’s article for USA Today: The tenets of American journalism can be distilled down to a couple of basics: Reporters should report objectively...
Ken Berwitz At a July 4th parade in Washington D.C….. Don\’t you love that the Hillary logo\’s arrow points straight at Matthews? Admittedly, this may be pure coincidence. Maybe he just knows the lady carrying that end of the sign and is talking to her (though she doesn\’t much look like she\’s paying attention to him, does she?) ...
Timothy P. Carney, writing for the Washington Examiner, has provided us with an excellent analysis of why it is perfectly logical and symmetrical to support gay rights, but to also support refusals to provide goods/services which are against someone\’s religious and/or moral beliefs. I am providing a significant excerpt below, but urge you to click here and read it all: “This...
I wish everyone a happy July 4th. I hope everyone is safe on this July 4th, since we are told that there is a credible threat that ISIS and/or other islamic terrorist groups are going to launch attacks on us. And I hope with all my heart that the current Secretary Of State – whom, I am truly sorry to say, I have very little faith in, recognizes that July 4th is probably one of the two...
Ken Berwitz Having written many blogs on this subject, with the information coming from easily available sources, I remain amazed – and disgusted – by how many media venues continue to promote the fantasy that the Obama administration has a positive record on job growth. Let me stop right here and offer excerpts from two article – one, from Reuters, was written in 2013 and...
Hillary Clinton is worried about Bernie Sanders. And should be. It\’s not that Sanders is going to beat her out for the presidential nomination. That is the longest of long shots. But the fact, with little money and little publicity, he is increasingly competitive with Ms. Clinton in the first two primary states, Iowa and New Hampshire, presents a huge problem: -It...
Well, it is finalized. Aaron and Melissa Klein, the young Oregon couple who owned a bakery and refused to print a same-sex inscription on a wedding cake, are being fined $135,000. Reminding you: they did NOT refuse service to the gay women who wanted the cake, nor did they refuse to sell them a cake. The sum total of their “crime” was, because the...
