Newly published data from the U.S. Treasury shows that the federal government has amassed $76.4 trillion in debts, liabilities, and unfunded Social Security and Medicare obligations. This amounts to $614,000 for every household in the U.S., a burden that equals 90% of the nation’s private wealth, including the combined value of every American’s assets in […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Louis Lionheart, a Christian preacher and scholar of Islam who came on the show to discuss his experience of Debating Muslims about Mohammed on the Streets of Santa Monica. He unveils the problematic ingredients of Muslims’ arguments about their religion and shares the myriad forms […]

If Democrats really care about the plight of illegal immigrants flooding our borders, they should do a better job taking care of them before they reach voting age. A recent Government Accountability Office investigation found the Obama administration lost track of thousands of immigrant children captured crossing U.S. borders. According to the Washington Free Beacon, […]

The Republican race goes on after Super Tuesday. In ordinary years, Donald Trump’s wins in seven of the 11 Super Tuesday contests after three out of four wins in February, together with his delegate lead, would make him the nominee. Politicians would hurry to back the apparent winner. But, thanks to Trump, this is not […]

Hollywood does a lot these days to drive America’s liberal social narrative. They are normally at the forefront of every wacky feel-good leftist cause. Leonardo DiCaprio took the little time allotted for his first Oscar acceptance speech to preach his global warming nonsense.   DiCaprio said: “Making The Revenant was about man’s relationship to the natural […]

Yes, Donald Trump is the front-runner in a crowded Republican primary field. Yes, he can draw votes from Democrats. But those two facts don’t mean Trump can win in the general election. As 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney argued during a speech designed to stop the Trump surge in its tracks, “Trump relishes any poll […]

When losing to the star of a reality TV show, is it really so crazy to resort to reality-show tactics to defeat him? I’m not referring to Marco Rubio’s decision to fight fire with fire with Donald Trump and return insult for insult. I, for one, thought it was wholly appropriate for Rubio to give […]

Mitt Romney’s speech against Donald Trump is not likely to win many converts. Romney’s remarks will just further vindicate and entrench Trump supporters. Romney, though a good man, is quintessentially GOP establishment and has shown, by his speech, that he still doesn’t understand the role he and his colleagues have played in bringing about the […]

Donald Trump currently has 319 delegates out of the 1,237 needed to win the Republican Presidential nomination. That gives him a modest lead over Ted Cruz’s 226 delegates, but there’s still a long way to go. Some anybody-but-Trump Republicans have focused on a different number. When you add up the delegates from all the opposing […]

Mitt Romney made a compelling and urgent case for why the Republican Party’s soul is at stake in this election cycle. And speaking of Romney, his experience in 2012 illustrates why those who are shrugging that it is too late to stop Donald Trump are mistaken. Attempting to stop Trump is not some underhand effort […]

On his radio show Wednesday morning, Glenn and his posse, Pat, Stu and Jeffy, did a recap of the Super Tuesday results. Everyone now knows that despite Trump winning 7 States, his night was not the runaway success he predicted and that pundits touted the day after. As it stands today, before this weekend’s five […]

Which presidential candidate was born the poorest? Whose log cabin birthplace was the most ramshackle? Hillary and Bill Clinton are worth well over $100 million, largely due to years of leveraging their government service to pull in astronomical speaking and consulting fees from Wall Street, foreign investors and big banks. Yet Hillary Clinton, a graduate […]

If you are tired of reading columns about Affordable Care Act failures, don’t read any further. If you’re not, please meet yet another example of how the shockingly incompetent government has wasted so much of our money in developing and administering services that are taken for granted in the private market — namely, the ACA […]

Last Sunday was Oscar night, where the leftism of Hollywood — one-third of the “axis of indoctrination” — is on its annual full display. (The other two-thirds are media and academia.) The biggest surprise of the night was a lack of Donald Trump jokes, two at the most. Of course, there were zero sightings of […]

In the film “Girl, Interrupted,” the character played by Winona Ryder is watching TV in a psychiatric hospital. There is a news report about a demonstration and the narrator says: “We live in troubled times. The institutions we once trusted no longer seem reliable.” As I begin the laborious process of doing my income taxes, […]

Amid the celebrations of the successful Dunkirk evacuation of World War II, saving most of the British and much of the French Army, Prime Minister Winston Churchill cooled the festivities by saying “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” […]

I could vote for Ted Cruz in the California primary, I realized as I learned the senator from Texas won not only his home state on Super Tuesday but also Oklahoma. Cruz also beat Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses and claimed the top spot in the Alaska caucuses Tuesday. OK, so maybe I’ve scolded […]

The worst political blunder of all time, according to scientist Freeman Dyson, was the decision of the emperor of China in 1433 to cut off his country from the outside world. In the wake of that decision, China lost its position in the forefront of human achievements and fell behind, over the centuries, to become […]

When the dust settles on this wild and wacky GOP primary season, there will be at least one clear Biggest Loser: the Republican National Committee. After 2012, when liberal journalists routinely hijacked the party’s 20 televised debates while cashing in on ratings and advertising revenue, the RNC resolved to change narrative-surrendering business as usual. There […]

Government pretends it’s the cause of progress. Then it strangles innovation. We know government understands that new technologies are important. The military invests in robots and traffic cops use radar guns. But when the rest of us use robots or fly drones, government gets eager to put rules in place before things get “out of […]

Presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, along with President Obama, say they want high-income earners, otherwise known as the rich, to pay their fair share of income taxes. None of these people, as well as the uninformed in the media and our campus intellectual elites, will say precisely what is the “fair share” […]

The Republican Party has long been led by the rich and the powerful who win elections by persuading the lowly and powerless to vote for them. Ever since the early Roman Republic, when the Plebeians were pitted against the Patricians, the rich politician’s goal has always been to land the poor vote to win. They […]

Last Thursday, all hell broke loose at California State University Los Angeles. Hundreds of students gathered to chant slogans, block entrances and exits to the student union auditorium, rough up those who wished to enter, pull the fire alarm, and trap other students inside that auditorium under threat of violence. Police officers stood aside and […]

Is Joe Scarborough having his Colonel Nicholson moment? That’s what I wondered Monday morning as I watched the host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” insist that Donald Trump’s inability and unwillingness to simply and plainly denounce the Ku Klux Klan in a Sunday CNN interview was “disqualifying.” For those who might not have seen “The Bridge […]

Hillary Clinton is sweeping the Democratic primaries across the South by capturing nearly all the black votes — a staggering 86 percent in South Carolina. She’s doing it with poisonous lies designed to stoke racial resentment. Clinton routinely tells blacks they are the victims of “systemic racism” and scolds whites for not demonstrating more “humility.” […]

Remember the Occupy Wall Street movement? The 2011-2012 protests sought to bring Arab Spring-type “revolutions” to the United States through a combination of urban camping and complaining loudly about the state of the world. The Occupy movement fizzled out because it failed to translate the whining into political action. Hey, Occupiers, it only took a […]

Eventually – maybe sooner than later – the primaries will conclude and it will on to the general election. As it stands now, the presumptive nominee on the democrat side will be Hillary Clinton. I still can’t believe it, but I guess criminal behavior in America, at least on the left is not only NOT […]

The “Super Tuesday” primaries may be a turning point for America — and quite possibly a turn for the worse. After seven long years of domestic disasters and increasing international dangers, the next President of the United States will need extraordinary wisdom, maturity, depth of knowledge and personal character to rescue America. Instead, if the […]

Just what is the Trump movement all about? I’ve tried to get to the bottom of it by conversing with various Donald Trump supporters on Twitter. I have found that most outside the movement are having great difficulty understanding it. It’s like nothing we’ve seen — at least on the Republican side of the political […]
