Jamie Glazov recently rocked the Eagle Forum’s California State Conference of 2015. He tackled The Media’s Willful Blindness about Islam, Regaining Integrity in the News and Entertainment Media, The Left’s Unholy Alliance With Islam, and much more. For those of you who missed it, we are running the video of Jamie’s talk below: And make […]

You would think that a groundbreaking TV show for women hosted by women would do its best every day to respect and uplift women. Instead, ABC’s “The View” — originally created by veteran journalist Barbara Walters to represent women “of different backgrounds, different generations and different opinions” — has devolved into an ear-splitting bickerfest of […]

The question dogs any woman who writes about politics: “Don’t you want to see the first woman elected president of the United States?” The unstated premise, always obvious, is that you are some sort of traitor to your sex if your hand isn’t itching to pull the lever for someone with the correct chromosomes. My […]

The wheels haven’t come off Hillary Rodham Clinton’s bus quite yet, but they’re getting wobblier. Hence the Joe Biden boomlet. As a columnist, never mind as a conservative, I think it’s a fantastic idea. (A Biden vs. Trump debate would cause a national popcorn shortage.) But is Biden really the answer to the Democrats’ problem? […]

I wish the presidential debates could focus on what’s wrong with the status quo and solutions rather than on what one candidate thinks about another’s silly remarks. I don’t want to hear Jeb Bush cajoling Donald Trump to apologize to his wife in front of millions of people. I don’t want moderators to force a […]

It seems lately I’ve spent an awful lot of time defending the Trumpster, Donald Trump. And frankly, I’ve gotten some feedback that I’m just a closet Trump supporter.   Well, I am, but only on one, maybe two issues. There is his position on illegal immigration, as well as his stance on the military, which […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was hosted by Ari David, the host of the Ari David Show Podcast, and joined by Former Senior INS Special Agent Michael Cutler. Mr. Cutler discussed 9/11: Fourteen Years Later — and What We Haven’t Learned, unveiling America’s border security nightmare. [Read his paper The 9/11 Commission Report and Immigration: […]

I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears when Ben Carson was asked about what his response would have been had he been president on 9/11. I couldn’t believe his answer. He said that a better response than sending troops to Afghanistan to hunt down al-Qaida would have been to make an all-out effort to achieve […]

A fear is sweeping over official Washington. Like teenagers whose lenient parents have let them get away with way too much over the years, Washington’s political class is afraid that this time the voters really mean to give the politicians what they deserve. Both Democratic and Republican voters are unhappy and have shown great reluctance […]

“Anything could happen over the next few hours,” CNN anchor Jake Tapper announced at the prime-time Republican presidential debate. Anything did happen. Billionaire Donald Trump made faces and rolled his eyes. He mugged as a petulant little boy would mug. He insulted his opponents for no apparent reason. When Tapper asked the reality TV star […]

California is the land of hypocrites. As I pulled into the parking lot adjacent to my radio station in Los Angeles, I noticed a Mercedes R500 sitting next to me. Between the Mercedes symbol and the R500 label sat a big, fat bumper sticker: “BERNIE SANDERS 2016.” The Mercedes R500 retailed at $71,000 back in […]

There is a tragic monotony to the latest massive human migration, this one involving Syrians fleeing their war-torn country. Whether the migrants are from Mexico, the Islamic world or elsewhere, it is always the same: Migrants flock to the West. Mexicans who elect to leave their country do not hop trains to Guatemala. Fleeing Libyans […]

If you’re somewhat cruel and evil, it’s easy to pull the wings off nervous and vulnerable Chicago Cubs fans. They have a great young team and a top manager and are fighting to make the playoffs. But Cubs fans, being Cubs fans, are anxious they’ll blow it once again, as they have through all the […]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker just proposed a plan to overhaul the country’s labor laws, called “My Plan to Give Power to the People, Not the Union Bosses.” It would do that by expanding employee choice and holding unions accountable to their members. One of the main underlying themes of the Republican presidential hopeful’s private-sector reforms […]

Is Vice President Joe Biden in or out? Many praised Biden’s “honesty” for saying to Stephen Colbert on CBS’ “The Late Show”: “I don’t think any man or woman should run for president unless, number one, they know exactly why they would want to be president, and two, they can look at folks out there […]

Self-declared socialist and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders entered what his supporters must consider the belly of the beast on Monday. He spoke at the conservative evangelical Liberty University in Virginia. Some of those supporters sat in reserved seats, ensuring his remarks would be received with some applause. Liberal and Democratic speakers at Liberty are […]

Dr. Ben Carson has finally spoken out on illegal immigration – outlining his plan to tackle the problem. His plan appears to start out like gangbusters as he says: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/ben-carson-immigration-plan-ian-tuttle “But let’s just say we get them sealed [the borders], because certainly in a Carsonadministration that would be done within the first year.”   I say […]

In this presidential cycle, voters in both parties, to the surprise of the punditocracy, are rejecting experienced political leaders. They’re willfully suspending disbelief in challengers who would have been considered laughable in earlier years. Polls show more Republicans preferring three candidates who have never held elective office over 14 candidates who have served a combined […]

How many wars can we fight? Our presidential candidates demand “stronger action” against both illegal immigration and illegal drugs. But those goals conflict. The War on Drugs makes border enforcement much harder! America’s 44-year-long Drug War hasn’t made a dent in American drug use or the supply of illegal drugs. If it had some positive […]

As the new school year begins, you might like to be updated on some school happenings that will no doubt be repeated this academic year. After this update, I have some questions one might ask the black leadership. The ongoing and escalating assault on primary- and secondary-school teachers is not a pretty sight. Holly Houston […]

Some are born great. Others achieve greatness. And some have greatness thrust upon them. William Shakespeare might have been thinking of Joe Biden. While the Democratic world ruminates on whether the vice president has the emotional strength to run for president, the political realities are such that he may have to run. Ready or not. […]

Two of the biggest global challenges of the past decade — terrorism and the 2008 financial crisis — have given rise to some well-intentioned legislation that has missed the mark. The U.S. Treasury Department is charged with maintaining the nation’s financial health. Things like money laundering and terrorist financing jeopardize that health, but there’s so […]

Since monetary policy can’t ensure a growing economy and president Obama acts like he doesn’t consider a healthy economy even necessary, the only thing left to do is what they should have done long ago: Get rid of the regulatory burden that’s keeping the brakes on the economy. It will do more than just help […]

Robert McDonald, head of Veterans Affairs, claims he’s making “great progress” delivering health care to vets and turning around the agency’s mismanagement and corruption. Don’t believe him. Right now, more than 35,000 combat vets who are automatically eligible for VA care are stuck on hold because the VA’s enrollment process is broken. It’s been going […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was hosted by Ari David, the host of the Ari David Show Podcast, and joined by Nonie Darwish, the author of The Devil We Don’t Know. Nonie discussed Why Have Arab Countries Abandoned Muslim Refugees?,  and analyses why the media won’t demand that Arab nations take care of […]

One reason for Trump’s popularity is the “what have you done for me lately” effect. Over the years we’ve all been witness to and have even supported republican candidates who, when they started out, were conservative, went to Washington and within a term or two, moderated their views to the point where they just fold […]

A hostile review of my new book — “Wealth, Poverty and Politics” — said, “there is apparently no level of inequality of income or opportunity that Thomas Sowell would consider unacceptable.” Ordinarily, reviewers who miss the whole point of a book they are reviewing can be ignored. But this particular confusion about what opportunity means […]

In a country with more than 300 million people, it is remarkable how obsessed the media have become with just one — Donald Trump. What is even more remarkable is that, after six years of repeated disasters, both domestically and internationally, under a glib egomaniac in the White House, so many potential voters are turning […]
