Why do I say this? Here is all you need to know, courtesy of an article at Bloomberg.com: Ajudge in CorpusChristi said Texas\’s alleged goal of preventing voter frauddoesn\’t outweigh the discriminatory effect on the poor, blacks andHispanics. “Thedraconian voting requirements” imposed by the law “willdisproportionately impact low-income Texans because they are...
How much of an amateur is Mich McConnell\’s opponent, Alison Lundergran Grimes? Enough so that she actually ducked answering a reporter who asked “Did you vote for President Obama in 2008 and 2012”? No joke: she spent 40 seconds doing as clumsy a dance as you will come across, to avoid responding to that most basic of basic questions. Want to see for...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Gwyneth Paltrow – an elitist airhead who makes comments which , if media spent one day reporting them they way they report anything Sarah Palin says, would cause her to roll up in a cocoon, and only leave her Brentwood mansion for Oscar night and select events at the country club. Last night, Ms. Paltrow hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama and the...
ISIS is laughing at the anemic US and “fauxalition” joke of a response. An airstrike here and there, as the murdering Islamic lunatics take over more and more territory. Now they are poised to invade, overwhelm, and commit mass murder in the most grisly forms they can think of in the Syrian border town of Kobani — as Turkish troops sit less than a quarter mile from the...
Take a good look at the title of this blog. Because you certainly don\’t see it very often. But this year? Incredibly, it might be accurate. In the past week, Republicans have started picking up considerable steam one state after another. For example, look at these senate races: -In Kansas, incumbent Pat Roberts, after trailing his supposedly...
One Michael Brown incident wasn\’t enough? Evidently not Yesterday, a Saint Louis off-duty officer shot and killed a Black 18 year old – Vonderrit Deondray Myers Jr. Crowds have already gathered demanding justice, shouting the “hands up, don\’t shoot” line used after Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson, MO officer Darren Wilson. Police cars...
Apropos of nothing important – and apropos of nothing that will mean a thing to you…. Mike wore his shirt a second time and Lee noticed there was a stain on it. Why am I posting this? Because I was more or less dared to, that\’s why. Ok, back to politics, where just about everyone and everything is worn, recycled and stained one way or another.
Here is proof that you don\’t need Warner Bros. to see Looney Tunes in action. Just check the PC that now is rampant in our public schools. Here is the latest example, from Katherine Timpf\’s article at nationalreview.com: ANebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stopreferring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boysand...
Last night, CBS had a terrific scoop – one which neither NBC nor ABC could produce. Its new poll came out – showing that, less than a month before the midterm elections, Democrats are in disastrous shape, and – if the poll bears out on election day – will get their clocks cleaned in epic fashion. A few highlights: -On the generic ballot question, Republicans, who usually...
This cannot happen. President Obama – using his nonexistent power to change laws at will, like a hugo chavez or fidel castro – has got to do something to stop it. Because, if he doesn\’t, people will be voting on reality rather than dishonesty, and Democrats are going to lose senate seats. What am I talking about? Im talking about the fact that, as things now...
Today\’s quote comes to us from an especially rich source (that\’s a pun…as you\’ll see in a moment): President Barack Obama. Here is part of an email that just went out under his name: “Ifthe Republicans win, we know who they\’ll be fighting for. Onceagain, the interests of billionaires will come before the needs ofthe middle class.” Pretty...
Several days ago there were unconfirmed reports that Thomas E. Duncan, who came here from Liberia while infected with the ebola virus – and apparently knew his condition but engaged in physical contact with an unknown number of people anyway, had died. Those reports were wrong. But today\’s are not. Duncan has just died at the Dallas hospital which, despite all their...
The last blog was based on data from the latest CBS News/New York Times poll. So is this one – and it contains a message that Republicans, as a party, had better be paying attention to: __ What does this say? It says that the country – even, I suspect, a great many people who personally find same-sex marriage unacceptable...
Some blogs just write themselves. From the just-released CBS News poll: CBS News Poll. Oct. 3-6, 2014. N=1,260 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3. “How would you rate the job Barack Obama has done in assessing the threat posed by ISIS militants in the past few months: excellent, good, fair or...
Ken Berwitz Let me start by saying what I\’ve already said in a previous blog. Turkey\’s involvement in the so-called “coalition” President Obama has put together begins and ends at self-interest. That is why Turkish forces are sitting back, like spectators at a ballgame, as ISIS envelops Kobani, a Syrian city on the Turkish border, with the clear...
