I have been a radio talk show host for 33 years, nationally syndicated for 18. I have never experienced anything similar to what I am experiencing now. Until recently, the only hate mail I ever received was from a small number people on the left. The major reason for this, I am convinced, is that […]

The problem with socialism, Margaret Thatcher is credited with saying, is that you eventually run out of other people’s money. But the late Mrs. Thatcher — heroic conservative prime minister of Great Britain — was too well-mannered to tell people what actually comes next. So I’ll have to do it. After socialists run out of […]

Europe is rapidly heading toward a meltdown over its growing “refugee” problem. Of course it is self-imposed, at least by politically correct politicians, like Germany’s Angela Merkel, who evidently and rather blindly believe that demonstrating how big ones heart is should trump national interest and security. As has been documented here, most of these so-called […]

When you go to the California Democratic Party’s convention, and you happen to be the rare registered Republican in the press corps, you have to come prepared with an answer to The Question: Can I vote for Donald Trump in November? (My answer: I don’t have to decide now. Trump hasn’t won the primary.) It’s […]

I was going to write about how the Republican presidential campaign has become gutter politics, but given Donald Trump’s horrid statements, the gutter would be a step up, because things have descended into the sewer. Never in modern times has there been a presidential candidate who has hurled more personal insults and hurtful accusations at […]

In last Thursday’s slam-bang Republican debate everyone saw Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz do a fine job of demonstrating Donald Trump’s ignorance and inconsistencies. But many may not have noticed Cruz’s citation of a Feb. 9 Wall Street Journal article that casts light on the immigration issue — and suggests strongly that Cruz’s and Rubio’s […]

There he was, stripped bare and standing in the middle of the debate stage. Donald Trump was eviscerated in Thursday’s debate. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz took turns pummeling the founder of Trump University with his own words, his own history, and delivering body blow after body blow. It was more than enough to convince […]

Deborah came on the show to […]

Down in South Carolina, in the days before the Republican primary, I was shocked by the number of South Carolinians who told me they were trying to decide whether to support Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. This choice is, of course, possible in an open primary state such as South Carolina. But what could possibly […]

Ever since Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez shot and killed Kate Steinle on a warm July evening as she strolled along Pier 14 with her father, San Francisco’s Sanctuary City policy has enraged swaths of the rest of America. Lopez-Sanchez, you see, had been convicted of multiple felonies and deported five times. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would […]

Ever wonder what has become of the $150 billion of Iranian assets that Barack Obama and John Kerry freed up on our behalf? Did Obama or Kerry ever bother to ask – Gee Ayatollah, what do you plan to do with all that extra cash?   Will it go to education or maybe healthcare? Perhaps […]

It takes more faith to depend on the government than it does to trust in God’s provision, but you’d never know it watching Progressives worship at their government golden calf that owns nothing at all unless it takes it from you. Thanks to capitalism, Bernie Sanders went from being an unemployed middle aged socialist hippie […]

Does Donald Trump’s big win in the Nevada caucuses mean he’s the inevitable Republican nominee? He has made himself the favorite and could sew up the nomination with the first winner-take-all primaries March 15. But it’s not inevitable that he will become the nominee. The question is how others can prevent it. Trump won 46 […]

There’s still time to turn it around, of course. But now that many conservatives are moving from the bargaining phase to the depression phase of the Kubler-Ross model, we can begin to grapple with the prospective reality of a Trump-vs-Hillary general election. Whether you’re an ideological conservative, a proponent of limited government or someone who […]

From 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified (coincidentally my Twitter handle – @Ratifiedin1791) all the way through 1933, the federal government left us gun owners be. But in 1934 it all began to change as progressive icon and bully, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed for and signed the first nationwide gun control legislation, the […]

I’m not sure I’d ever heard of Jimmy Savile prior to revelations that he was a monster. A hugely popular DJ and TV personality in the United Kingdom for decades, Savile lived a double life as a child molester and rapist. He abused older victims as well. His victims, many of whom were patients in […]

As a Reagan conservative this is a particularly difficult primary season. We finally have what many of us consider a near-perfect candidate on the issues at a perfect time in our history, but obstacles persist. Admittedly, it’s not like America got in this desperate condition accidentally. For decades, we have been electing leaders who have […]

Call me a loser conservative, but Donald Trump is not my cup of tea. Rand Paul was the candidate I liked, one who suffered a charisma deficit, yes, but a conservative who actually referred to the Constitution. I thought he had a chance to attract young voters and realign the Republicans away from their war-party […]

The race for the Republican presidential nomination has a long way to go, and it?s still quite possible that some candidate other than Donald Trump will be nominated. But, to the shock of many, it?s also possible that Trump could move into the White House next year. The reason why was visible in the first […]

Complaining about Donald Trump seems to some like sour grapes. I know it appears this way, but it’s not. Sure I say I’m a Cruz guy, but I’m really a Constitution guy. If anyone running was closer to the idea of upholding the Constitution, I would be their guy. It’s not a matter of sour […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Arash Hampay, an Iranian Human Rights Activist. Arash discussed surviving Horrific Torture in Iran’s Gulag, sharing the nightmare he endured in the Islamic Republic’s jails. To help Arash and all the suffering victims under the Islamic Republic (and Islam) that he represents, contact Anni Cyrus […]

The United States has targeted a lot of rogues and their regimes in recent decades: Muammar Gadhafi, Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, Mohamed Farrah Aidid, Manuel Noriega and the Taliban. As a general rule over the last 100 years, any time the U.S. has bombed or intervened and then abruptly left the targeted country, chaos has […]

Hillary Clinton has never been asked whether she verbally intimidated alleged rape survivor Juanita Broaddrick. Nor has Clinton been asked whether she spearheaded the so-called “nuts and sluts” strategy to silence and intimidate women who alleged affairs with or sexual abuse by Bill Clinton. The books “Hell to Pay” by Barbara Olson and “No One […]

Everyone knows the meaning of the word “hypocrite” and no one can claim absolute constancy when it comes to living a life consistent with one’s stated values. But in this election year, hypocrisy is on full display. It is now being practiced with neither shame nor irony by leading Democrats, who once forcefully argued positions […]

This month, Twitter announced it has a Trust and Safety Council because, as CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted, “Twitter stands for freedom of expression, speaking truth to power, and empowering dialogue. That starts with safety.” Apparently the social media platform’s powerful CEO hasn’t figured out that when you pat yourself on the back for speaking truth […]

On February 16th, The Washington Post printed the article, “It’s time to kill the $100 bill.” This came on the heels of a CNNMoney item, the day before, entitled “Death of the 500 euro bill getting closer.” The former cited a recent Harvard Kennedy School working paper, No. 52 by Senior Fellow Peter Sands, concluding […]

Of the seven main candidates running for president, only one wants to keep the Affordable Care Act in place: the Democratic kind-of-front-runner Hillary Clinton. Everyone else wants to get rid of it. Most Republicans would replace it by returning health insurance regulation to the states, although they would also lock in much of the ACA’s […]
