The good news is that unemployment is going to continue to decline, says a new research note from investment house Goldman Sachs. The bad news is that doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily have a job as the joblessness rate continues to decline. “The unemployment rate is falling,” reports IBT,“but that traditional sign of health for the […]

PARIS — One of the most common questions that I’m asked these days is whether U.S. President Barack Obama is a brilliant bamboozler or just a bumbler. Some people are utterly convinced that the chaos in the Middle East — with America waging a yearlong bombing campaign against the Islamic State, only to be bailed […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Pierre Rehov, a French-Israeli filmmaker whose two new films are War Crimes in Gaza and Beyond Deception Strategy.  Visit his site at PierreRehov.com. Pierre came on the show to discuss his new films and how they reveal Hamas’s War Crimes and Israel’s Innocence. He makes the […]

President Obama’s intrusion into the mourning community of Roseburg, Oregon, in order to promote his political crusade for stronger gun control laws, is part of a pattern of his using various other sites of shooting rampages in the past to promote this long-standing crusade of the political left. The zealotry of gun control advocates might […]

As he runs for re-election in November, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon faces no opposition. The cozy position was unlikely, when you consider that Gascon arrived in the city as a pro-death penalty Republican from Arizona in 2009 after then-Mayor Gavin Newsom picked him to be chief of police. Today he’s the rare prosecutor […]

Fair people are disgusted with GQ columnist Drew Magary’s vile denunciation of Ben Carson and his comments on the Oregon shooting, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with leftist vulgarity and double standards. Not only did GQ print the post, in which Magary wrote “f— him,” but also it titled the piece “F— Ben Carson.” […]

Important parts of our two great political parties seem bent on demonstrating that their parties are incapable of governing coherently. House Republican rebels have pushed Speaker John Boehner out the door without advancing a plausible successor and have risked leaving the speaker’s chair vacant. Hillary Clinton has backpedaled and flip-flopped to fortify her flagging campaign […]

The invective against Dr. Ben Carson coming from the left is extraordinary, even for the left. Now that Carson, one of the pre-eminent brain surgeons in America, has become a viable candidate for president, the left has labelled him everything awful it can come up with. One left-wing columnist, Charles Blow of The New York […]

The first Democratic presidential debate, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct.13, will likely boost each of the candidates who participate — largely at the expense of Hillary Clinton. The debate will be a contest of four versus one, as Senator Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee and former Virginia Senator […]

I guess we’re still at war in Afghanistan. We must be if we’re flying sorties and striking targets from the air. So with that said, one must therefore agree that in war things don’t always go as planned, be it a ground offensive, an air campaign, or a combination of the two.   Mistakes will […]

When Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) walked into a Capitol Hill conference room to meet with his Republican colleagues last Thursday, he seemed a certain bet to be elected the next speaker of the House of Representatives. Subsequent reports revealed McCarthy already knew he didn’t have enough votes to win, or if he did, it was […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center who writes the blog The Point at Frontpagemag.com. Daniel discussed Russia’s ‘Holy War’ on the Islamic State?,shedding light on whether Putin’s military action in Syria is really about fighting ISIS. Don’t miss it! And make […]

An ongoing point of contention in the Republican Party has been the extent to which clear identification with traditional Judeo-Christian values is a good idea. My sense is that, when we add to the equation the growing impact of non-white voters, standing strongly for these traditional values — which would put Republicans in stark contrast […]

John Boehner is out (eventually). Kevin McCarthy is out. Conservatives in the House of Representatives are on a roll. But where is the roll going? I applaud the ouster of these insiders. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the career ambitions of politicians. But what comes next, what follows […]

The worm has turned for China and the U.S. But unfortunately it’s because both countries are rotten apples, full of worms. Remember when China was lecturing Obama about having greater fiscal discipline? Sure you do: It’s memorable in popular culture because Saturday Night Live did a hilarious, mostly true sketch about China’s then-president Hu Jintao […]

Rep. Tom McClintock of California is about as conservative a Republican as you can find in Congress. As a state legislator in Sacramento, he was a well-known budget hawk. In the House, writes The Almanac of American Politics, he has been “a faithful conservative vote, though an occasionally nettlesome one to GOP leaders seeking to […]

It’s been reported recently that Israel has made the discovery of a lifetime. They’ve discovered a massive oil field in their Golan Heights territory.   Israel reportedly consumes about 270,000 barrels of oil per day, although other estimates put consumption far lower at around 190,000 barrels. That’s somewhere between 70 and 100 million per year. […]

In this new Jamie Glazov Moment, Jamie discusses What a Woman in Hijab is Really Saying to You, unveiling the terrifying truth about what it really signifies.  Don’t miss this special Jamie Glazov Moment: And make sure to watch the special Jamie Glazov Moment in which Jamie discussed The “Not All Muslims Do That” Suicidal Charade, […]

We hear you loud and clear about guns, President Obama. It’s a little odd though, that you’d make insinuations about taking our guns away after the recent college shooting in Oregon, especially now that the EU Times reports the Federal Security Services (FSB) listed the shooter as an “American black-Islamist terror suspect” not quite the […]

“Lean on me, when you’re not strong, and I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on.” The Bill Withers song has been covered by countless artists, but the rendition of “Lean on Me” performed in a duet last weekend on the season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” had novel poignancy. It was sung by […]

You win the presidency, Richard Nixon supposedly observed, by tacking to the right in the primaries and to the center in the general election. Hillary Clinton seems to be following that strategy except, as a Democrat, she is tacking to the left. This strategy has risks, as Nixon, who lost the presidency once and won […]

After the horrific mass shooting at a community college in Oregon, President Barack Obama made an impassioned case that gun violence is “something we should politicize”: “This is a political choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in America. We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved […]

In this new episode of The Unknown, Anni Cyrus discusses To Be Raped Under Islam, revealing the horror she endured under the Islamic Republic — and how she prevailed and is fighting back. And make sure to watch the previous Uknown episode, in which Anni helped us in Understanding the Islamic Republic Through the Qur’an. […]

Hillary Clinton revealed on Wednesday that she opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, providing just the latest evidence that she is little more than political ambition wrapped in a pantsuit. Pay attention to the press coverage, because it’s fascinating: Nobody takes Clinton at her word. I’m not just referring to her conservative critics. Slate’s Jim […]

In Hollywood, anything is possible — if you’re a privileged femme fraudster with cover-up pals in all the right (or rather, left) places. Last week, upper-crust Manhattanite actress Lena Dunham dropped in at the Beverly Hills home of billionaire mogul Ron Burkle, who was co-hosting an event with Hanoi Jane Fonda, organized by the Rape […]

The Justice Department has announced that it will begin releasing 6,000 “nonviolent” inmates from federal prisons starting at the end of this month. Welcome to the era of de-incarceration. At a conference named for former New York Mayor David Dinkins (who presided over the city at a time of runaway crime), Hillary Clinton decried the […]

How about the next time the mainstream media decide to fabricate a controversy against a conservative presidential candidate, they choose something less laughable? The media’s latest faux gasp concerns Dr. Ben Carson’s comments about the Oregon school shooting. When I first watched news reports on it, I didn’t immediately grasp the reason for the fuss, […]

In the United States these days, about 95 percent of all new “laws” are written by bureaucrats rather than approved by Congress. A pair of recent news stories documents the dangers of bureaucrats gone wild. Last week, the U.S. officially defined 70,000 ways we can get sick or die. These classifications must be used by […]

The smart folk at Grammarly — an online grammar checker — examined Facebook posts written by supporters of the 2016 presidential candidates in a savvy bid to garner free press. It helped that the grammar site’s findings confirmed the left’s most treasured conceit — that liberals are more learned than conservatives. Specifically, the study found […]
