The New York Times is at it again. Today\’s lead editorial is titled “The Big Lie Behind Voter ID Laws”. You can read it by clicking here. But who is telling “The Big Lie”? Let\’s find out. Here is the first part of this editorial – the part which tells you about “The Big Lie” – in rust…with my...
Ken Berwitz My congratulations to White House National Security adviser Susan Rice. Unaccustomed as I am to saying this, we actually agree on something. From Megan R. Wilson\’s article at thehill.com: White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice says other countries “haven\’t done enough” to help stop the deadly disease Ebola from spreading. “We are...
If you\’re wondering why Democrats all over the country are pretending they are against Barack Obama – maybe never even heard of him – maybe this latest Gallup poll will explain. In Gallup\’s latest three day rolling average, Mr. Obama\’s approval rating is at 39%, and his disapproval is at 57%. At quick glance, that is the highest disapproval rating...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) – who, it should be noted, is not up for re-election this year. Speaking of the ebola virus, this is what Mr. Nelson had to say: “Itwould seem that another means of reducing the chances of exposure tothe virus here at home would be to temporarily suspend unnecessarytravel to the United States under existing visas and...
No, Republican Senator John McCain is not running against “Independent” Senator (in reality, self-professed socialist who caucuses with Democrats) Bernie Sanders – though McCain was the Republican candidate in 2008 and Sanders is making noises about running in 2016. But if you want a clear-cut choice between Mr. McCain\’s and Mr. Sanders\’s views of what...
Tense but peaceful protests over Michael Brown\’s death and other fatal police shootings in Missouri and elsewhere stretched across the St. Louis region Friday as organizers urged hundreds of participants to avoid arrest so that they could return for a weekend of demonstrations. That is the first paragraph of a Fox News story on the protests regarding the shooting deaths of Michael Brown...
How would you feel if the government of your country not only allowed you to illegally cross the border and go to a neighboring country, not only encouraged it (by, among other things, putting out booklets explaining how to deal with the neighboring country\’s border patrols)….and now is paying money to keep the neighboring country from sending you back? In a sane world, you would be...
As the family of michael e. duncan, the Liberian man who came to this country apparently knowing the likelihood he had ebola, complains that his hospital care was not first-rate enough, we now find out that one of the hospital workers has contracted the ebola virus from him. Think of it as a parting “gift” from duncan, who, if he had lived and returned to Liberia...
It is always hard to pick a “most disgusting political ad of the year” because, lamentably, there are so many to choose from. But this one has got to win hands-down. Here is an ad for Texas gubernatorial candidate, Democrat Wendy Davis, attacking her opponent, Republican Greg Abbott, who, due to a freak accident in 1984, has been wheelchair-bound since he was...
My wife and I will be driving to Brooklyn this morning for what promises to be a joyous family occasion. But not everyone in Brooklyn is joyous today. Excerpted from Matt McNulty\’s article for the New York Post: Ateen who had recently returned home to Brooklyn following a trip toSudan was rushed to the hospital with Ebola-like symptoms on Fridaynight, authorities said. Theteen was rushed...
Michelle Obama was sent out to Iowa last night, where she made a campaign speech extolling the military career of Democrat Senate candidate Bruce Bailey. Except the candidate\’s name is Bruce Braley…and he never served in the military. If Ms. Obama had said “Bailey” once, we could chalk it up to inadvertent error. We all make them. But the 7th time she called him...
I, along with countless others, have repeatedly written about the futility of air strikes on ISIS, without ground troops. Over this time, many cable news people, and many of their guests – including every military veteran I personally have seen – have said the same. I can do it again now, or just put up CNN\’s lead story, which you can click on for the...
“Congress is hardly functioning these days. It can\’t pass legislation that is controversial and it often can\’t even pass legislation on which there is broad agreement. Its reputation is abysmal, and even its members rarely dispute the popular indictment. “It needs fresh leadership, energy and ideas, and Cory Gardner can help provide them in the U.S...
Would you agree that bad news about ObamaCare – which not one Republican senator voted to enact – would be bad news for Democrats in this midterm election year? If so, would you agree that if network news shows had bad news about ObamaCare and did not report it, their abdication of journalistic integrity would be good news for Democrats? With the above in mind, please note that as...
kim jung-un, daddy\’s little boy who became the head of North Korea, and aside from showing his love to that leading intellectual Dennis Rodman, delights in starving and killing North Koreans while threatening South Korea and the rest of the world, has not been seen in over a month. This includes yesterday, when he didn\’t appear at a ceremony commemorating his father –...
