Sherlock Holmes famously solved the mystery of the Silver Blaze by noting the dog that didn’t bark in the night. It strikes me that in this wild and woolly campaign cycle there have been numerous dogs not barking in the night, or in the daytime either. Start with the race for the Democratic nomination, which […]

If for some reason you needed additional evidence that the Republican Party is deeply incompetent, unprepared, uncoordinated and inexcusably lazy, then try watching Cecile Richards’ appearance in front of Congress earlier this week. Now, I get that these kinds of hearings are normally a waste of time, but in this instance, the GOP had some […]

“Crime drops to new lows,” read Tuesday’s San Francisco Chronicle headline for a story about historic lows in crime statistics, nationally as well as in the Bay Area. I hope you enjoyed that headline, because it could be the last time you will read it for at least a decade. Though violent crime rates dropped […]

The last fundraising report indicates that the Sanders-Clinton match has all the hallmarks of the Obama-Clinton race of 2008, with Hillary Clinton making the same mistakes: –As her momentum slows, so has Clinton’s fundraising. In the winter — second quarter — she raised $48 million. But in the third quarter, this past summer, she raised […]

This new  edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by BattleCat, a pro-American activist whose  videos can be seen on her YouTube Channel BattleCat Avenger. BattleCat came on the show to discuss Obama’s Islamic and Racist Agenda. She called out the Radical-in-Chief on the malice behind his efforts to flood the U.S. with Muslim refugees […]

The bride, Edda, was 20, glamorous and well connected. The groom came from a prominent family. Their wedding was Italy’s social event of the year in 1930. If the occasion was marred in any way, it was through the inability of the bride’s father to part gracefully with his first-born daughter. He was so distraught […]

If the humiliation of the Obama administration continues at this rate, by this time next week you should expect to see Secretary of State John Kerry on all fours at the United Nations, getting paddled by the Russian foreign minister and shouting, “Thank you, comrade! May I have another?” On Monday, President Obama and Vladimir […]

“I’d say a lot of people want liver.” The propagandists of Planned Parenthood don’t want you to remember that earlier this summer the group apologized for the “tone” of one of its top officials, Deborah Nucatola, who casually hawked unborn baby parts to undercover journalists from the Center for Medical Progress as she swilled wine […]

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s questioning of Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards exposes the depravity and dishonesty of her organization. Richards and her colleagues act like cornered criminal defendants whose only defense is to dissemble and counterattack their accusers, for the truth is not in them. Planned Parenthood piously holds itself out as […]

I always thought it was Skynet that was going to run the Apocalypse. Or perhaps an Atari computer system named Joshua that just wanted to play chess with its floppy disks. Or maybe Skynet was just a beginning. Because it turns out that it’s something far more sinister, far more evil will take us down. […]

Despite the oversized field and non-traditional candidates, the battle for the Republican presidential nomination is starting to shape up in familiar ways. There will be a champion of the establishment wing taking on the champion of the party base to determine the nominee. One interesting possibility is that this year’s finalists could both be young, […]

California has a new death row; it’s called Virginia. Anti-death penalty advocates, federal judges and defense attorneys have been so successful at blocking capital punishment in California that a San Quentin death row inmate has more to fear from being extradited for a capital murder to another state than seeing his sentence carried out here. […]

Dear Republican Members of Congress: Consider this an intervention. You guys do not understand how to hold a decent hearing. Hillary Clinton danced away from your Benghazi questions like Muhammad Ali. Your threats to hold more hearings on Planned Parenthood and Benghazi are about as frightening as President Obama’s warnings to Vladimir Putin that “doubling […]

On Tuesday, members of the House Oversight Committee grilled Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards over undercover videos linking high-ranking employees with illegal sale of fetal body parts. Under heavy questioning, Richards admitted to supporting sex-selective abortion, acknowledged that the vast majority of Planned Parenthood’s nongovernment revenue springs from abortion, and awkwardly attempted to explain away […]

Unpopular though it may be to say so, I, for one, grew exhausted by the nonstop pronouncements/commentaries of Pope Francis. The spiritual leader of 1 billion Catholics — roughly half of the world’s Christians — Francis just completed a high-profile, endlessly publicized visit to the United States. But unlike past visiting pontiffs, the Argentine-born Francis […]

Donald Trump is the most recent Republican presidential candidate to release a plan to reform our burdensome tax code. Though all the proposals are different, they share common characteristics. They would cut income tax rates on households, lower the tax code’s bias against savings and investment, close some loopholes, and reform America’s anti-competitive corporate income […]

“The Late Show” host, Stephen Colbert, in an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., said conservative icon President Ronald Reagan actually raised taxes and signed an amnesty bill. Gotcha! To the delight of his audience, Colbert argued that if Reagan could “compromise” by raising taxes and granting amnesty, why can’t the intransigent Republican conservatives of […]

Hillary Clinton and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel have so much in common, in politics, in truthiness, and now in their questionable use of private email. They both know politics and muscle the Chicago Way. They worked together in those Bill Clinton presidential years, Hillary as the first lady who wouldn’t bake cookies; Rahm as the […]

The White House Historical Association is promoting a Christmas ornament honoring our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge. This summer, Coolidge was added to the “racing presidents” feature at Washington Nationals home games, in which mascots representing past presidents sprint down the sideline. The club even gave away a Coolidge bobblehead doll. Does this mean the long-neglected […]

You’ve heard endlessly about “white privilege” from the professional social justice warrior gripers. But rarely does that crusading crowd — or their spiritual leaders in the White House — acknowledge the brutal impact of wealthy Middle Eastern thug privilege in America. I’m looking especially at you, Barack, Michelle and Valerie Jarrett (who hosted Black Lives […]

The world has enough real problems without declaring everyone a “victim.” Bill Clinton says Hillary is a victim of a right-wing conspiracy. Lindsay Lohan, when jailed for driving drunk and breaking parole, says she’s a victim of cruel and unusual punishment. Michael Sam says his NFL career would have gone better had he not come […]

War is nasty, brutal and costly. In our latest wars, many of the casualties suffered by American troops are a direct result of their having to obey rules of engagement created by politicians who have never set foot on — or even seen — a battlefield. Today’s battlefield commanders must be alert to the media […]

The latest NBC/WSJ poll, conducted Sept. 20-24, has Hillary Clinton only slightly ahead of Bernie Sanders in the national sample of registered Democratic voters. Clinton polls at 42 percent, Sanders at 35 percent and Joe Biden at 17 percent. With Sanders a bare seven points behind the former secretary of state, her candidacy is in […]

The impending departure of Speaker of the House John Boehner gives the House Republicans a real opportunity to accomplish something. But an opportunity is not a guarantee. It is a little like a football team being first down and goal at the ten-yard line. You have a good chance of scoring a touchdown from there […]

Sessions of the United Nations General Assembly always end up getting reduced to pleas for financial support. It’s like an annual telethon without the phone number on the bottom of the screen. No number is required, since you’ll be donating anyway through your government. What’s most troubling about the current set of pitches is that […]

Last week brought more disturbing revelations about Hillary Clinton’s emails. A majority of Americans think she’s lying about what she did as secretary of state and what she’s done since to cover up, according to a new Fox News poll. As the scandal hounds her, she’s trying to lose the scent by announcing a plan […]

Almost exactly seven years ago, House Speaker John Boehner said of the Wall Street bailout bill, “I think this thing is a crap sandwich” — but he’d vote for it anyway. I remarked at the time, “It’s crap sandwiches for as far as the eye can see” — and I was right. Boehner finally had […]

In 2011, masochistic Liberals embraced China as the model empire from which the United States could learn much. They were organized, we heard. They could manage change better then the West, we were told. They got things done, it was said. “Perfect order and global governance are not realistic expectations,” George Soros told a group […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Saba Ahmed,an Islamic Lobbyist with the Republican Muslim Coalition, and Mark Christian, a former Islamic Imam who is now the president of theGlobal Faith Institute. The two guests went toe-to-toe about women’s rights under Sharia and Ben Carson’s comments about Islam. Don’t miss it! And […]
