We are ecstatic to announce that Team Tommy’s effort to help Tommy Robinson get a top legal team has ended in success! Tommy won his day in court on April 14 when the judge dismissed the charge of “battery” against him and also questioned the police’s motives. We would like to extend our eternal appreciation to all […]

Secretary of State John Kerry toured the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Museum in Japan this week, a month before he and President Obama will meet foreign ministers at the G-7 Summit. Reuters reported that he witnessed “haunting displays [of] photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them […]

Maybe the makers of “The Big Bang Theory” don’t watch “Meet the Press.” Hillary Clinton got into a bit of trouble earlier this month when she told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd that “the unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights.” Clinton was merely noting that some restrictions on abortions are permitted under the law. […]

It’s one thing to be upset with the so-called Republican establishment for failing to stand up to Barack Obama and his destructive policies, but it’s another for a GOP presidential candidate to exploit that anger illegitimately against a fellow anti-establishment candidate. Many of us have been critical of the GOP leadership for opposing conservatives in […]

As I’ve watched the 2016 campaign unfold, I’ve come to realize that the millennial generation has a better grasp on reality than the nation’s top political journalists. The younger voters recognize that we live in a world where the culture leads and politics lags behind. Journalists, on the other hand, mistakenly cover political campaigns as […]

The intensity with which some American companies try to use the government to trick or deceive consumers is astonishing. Yet the extent to which lawmakers seem content to cater to these crony pursuits never disappoints, either. Case in point: the current attempt to protect contact lens sellers from competition at the expense of consumers. An […]

Does this sound familiar? “They wanted something new, something fresh, and they found in this man a radical discourse. He said he would get rid forever of the old elites.” Or this: “He ran as the outsider, the non-politician in a country which had come to distrust politicians. The media loved him, and he loved […]

The Winter of 2015-2016, which came to an end a few weeks ago, has been officially designated as the mildest in the U.S. in 121 years according to NOAA. While this fact will certainly add a major talking point in the global warming debate, it should also be front and center in the current economic […]

This special edition of the Glazov Gang was joined by Dr. Peter Hammond, the founder of Frontline Fellowship. Dr. Hammond discussed Tortured for Christ, sharing the nightmarish barbarity he has endured for bringing Jesus to the communist and Islamic worlds. Don’t miss it! And make sure to watch our special 2-part series with Dr. Peter […]

“Gestapo tactics.” That’s how Donald Trump’s recently installed campaign manager, Paul Manafort, characterized the Ted Cruz campaign’s successful effort to win all 34 of Colorado’s pledged national convention delegates at the long-scheduled Republican congressional district and state conventions. “Today winning votes doesn’t mean anything,” Trump complained. “It’s a corrupt deal going on in this country […]

Donald Trump recently ignited another controversy when he mused that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was obsolete. He hinted that it might no longer be worth the huge American investment. In typical Trump style, he hit a nerve, but he then offered few details about the consequences of either staying in or leaving NATO. NATO […]

1) “Political correctness” is just a fancy term for not telling the truth. 2) Obama says he wants “mandatory” voting, as it is in Australia. Voter ID is “unduly burdensome” — but (SET ITAL) forcing (END ITAL) people to vote is not?! 3) Obama says with “mandatory” voting, “You start getting 70-80 percent voting rates.” […]

As the tax deadline approaches it’s once again time to consider how the federal government wastes our money. Remember the spending caps that were supposed to keep Congress from overspending? Gone with the wind. How about the promise Republicans made about no more earmarks on spending bills? It disappeared almost as fast as a gold […]

The intensity with which some American companies try to use the government to trick or deceive consumers is astonishing.

President Barack Obama once said he regrets not learning to play a musical instrument. Yet with those long, thin fingers of his, you can imagine him as a cellist, maybe a pianist, or perhaps he’d be playing some mournful and mischievous notes on an oboe. But the other day in an exclusive interview on Fox […]

Circle this date on your calendar: April 22. I’ll be in Chicago that day attending what may be a very significant milestone in American politics and domestic policy. It’s going to be a wake and a wake-up call, part memorial and part protest. If you are a so-called American “STEM worker” in science, technology, engineering […]

The Libertarian Party might get more votes this year. Before the primaries, Time Magazine, frequent pusher of trends that do not exist, put Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ken.) on its cover and called him the “most interesting man in politics.” Then Paul fizzled, and pundits said the “libertarian moment,” if there ever was one, had ended. […]

During Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign visit to Liberty University, he told the students that our nation was created on racist principles. Students at a Christian-based university, such as Liberty, do not often hear the founders-as-racists argument. But it is featured at many other universities, as well as primary and secondary schools. Most often, the hate-America […]

Question: Why in John Kasich still in the race for the Republican nomination? Answer: To be Donald Trump’s vice president. Question: So why is he still fighting for delegates? Answer: To have a dowry to present to Trump in return for the vice presidential nomination. The nuptials are scheduled for July 18 in Cleveland. Save […]

This week, the Bernie Sanders revolution finally ate its own. The vultures of the hard left forced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to sink her own carnivorous beak into the withered flesh of her titular husband, former President Bill Clinton, denouncing his key legislative achievements and relegating him to the dustbin of history. The […]

I wouldn’t say that the GOP is falling in love with Ted Cruz, but maybe it’s falling in like. In arguably the most improbable political season of our lifetimes, this fact has to rank high on the list of things no one could have seen coming. If they gave out report cards for first-term senators, […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Stephen Coughlin, the co-founder of UnconstrainedAnalytics.org and the author of the new book, Catastrophic Failure. Stephen discussed The Hoax of “Countering Violent Extremism”,revealing how the Muslim Brotherhood is directing our foreign policy and national discourse on terror. Don’t miss it! And make sure you watch […]

Everyday I get an update called “Your Daily Yahoo stories” for whichever day of the week it is. Yahoo is ultra-leftist and, as do most sites like this, normally caters to the shallow. All “your daily stories” have a liberal bent and/or are typical ridiculous entertainment/celebrity memes. Toward the bottom of the page, after highlighting […]

If you’re employed, beware. An alarming attitude is sweeping the nation that your paycheck is fair game to fix any social problem. Left-wing legislators across the nation are mandating deductions from everyone’s paycheck to fund paid family medical leave programs. The programs are used mostly by women to stay home with their newborns. Sounds warm […]

If you took all the lies out of political rhetoric, how much would be left? Apparently even less than usual this year. The latest, and perhaps biggest, lie — thus far — is that Donald Trump was cheated out of delegates in Colorado because the voters did not select the delegates. Two very different questions […]

If the Central Intelligence Agency’s role is to discreetly promote the economic and political interests of the United States, then there’s one country that ought to be awfully disappointing to the agency right now: Saudi Arabia. In fact, if there’s an issue on which America and Russia could potentially agree, it would be the damage […]

We hear many fallacies in election years. The fallacy that seems to be most popular this year is that, if Donald Trump comes close to getting the 1,237 delegates required to become the Republican nominee, and that nomination goes instead to someone else, then the convention will have ignored “the voice of the people.” Supposedly […]

I have been concerned for some time that forces supporting Donald Trump have intentionally been laying the groundwork for claiming that Trump will have been cheated if he doesn’t earn the GOP nomination. When this primary season began, few people gave Ted Cruz a snowball’s chance to be in serious contention, but he has repeatedly […]

Just about all candidates for president regularly announce their intent to unite Americans, to “bring us together.” It’s a gimmick. If they are sincere, they are profoundly naive; if they are just muttering sweet nothings in order to seduce Americans to vote for them, they are manipulative. In his acceptance speech at the 2004 Democratic […]
