As a supporter of Ted Cruz I have had many supporters of other candidates tell me that he would not be electable in the general election. I disagree. Yes, Cruz is caricatured in social media and elsewhere as unlikable and as one who doesn’t play well with others. He’s too extreme and we need someone […]

The latest CBS poll suggests that the Donald Trump juggernaut continues to roll, with 35 percent of Republicans supporting him. Ted Cruz, his nearest rival, garners 18 percent. Jeb Bush, the candidate who should have been the obvious choice if conventional wisdom about money and politics was even remotely true, is dead last with 4 […]

Practically everyone has heard the term GMO and thanks to whacky leftist publications and advocacy groups, people believe GMO to be synonymous with evil of some sort. Chances are that unless you’ve been conned into believing the anti-GMO propaganda and eaten only unprocessed or organic foods for the past 22 years, you’ve been consuming Genetically […]

Here’s a little something to keep in mind while listening to all the presidential candidates make promises about the economy. In a period of 36 years, from 1865 to 1901, three American presidents were assassinated. The country was so divided that, at one point, five consecutive presidents received less than a majority of the popular […]

Talk about hitting the ground running. Mary and my flight from Florida landed in Las Vegas at 8:30am. We jumped into an SUV with our Conservative Campaign Committee team and began traveling Nevada, waving “Ted Cruz” signs at busy intersections and highways in Henderson, Pahrump, Beatty, Tonopah and Mina. I love our boots-on-the-ground campaigning adventures. […]

It’s one thing to disagree with the decision to go to war in Iraq. That, believe it or not, was once a (SET ITAL) minority (END ITAL) view. According to a Gallup poll taken in March 2003, the night after the Iraq war began, 76 percent supported President George W. Bush’s decision. Two months after […]

World War II broke out when Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. A once preventable war had become inevitable — and would soon become global — due to three fatal decisions. Most infamously, the Western European democracies had appeased Hitler during the late 1930s in hopes that he would quit gobbling up his […]

President Obama recently released his last budget, laying out his priorities and proposals for FY2017 and the years to come. Not surprisingly, it’s a tax-and-spend budget that not only does nothing to get us off the unsustainable financial path we’re on, but also it claims that more taxes and spending will grow the economy. According […]

There is a fair way to deal with the political battle over replacing the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia: Let the people decide in the November elections. Let the people choose a president in 2016, and senators — nine U.S. Senate seats are said to be in play — and go on from there. […]

Few people in modern history have fulfilled their oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” more than the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia was so well respected that the Senate voted 98-0 in 1986 to confirm him. These days it would be difficult to get a unanimous vote in support of Mother’s Day. It […]

Colorado dodged a bullet. After a stinging backlash from local leaders and Rocky Mountain politicians in both parties, the Obama White House retreated this weekend from plans to dump in our state 1,000 minors who immigrated here illegally. Good riddance to the feckless feds, and don’t come back, y’all. Now, let this be a lesson […]

The Tesla S is the closest thing to a totally driverless car available now. I had to leave my state to test-drive it. New York’s archaic laws forbid taking both hands off the wheel. Once outside New York, the Tesla representative in the passenger seat had me turn on the autopilot. Suddenly, I was doing […]

On Tuesday, March 1, millions of Republican primary voters will likely cast wasted ballots, causing a massive wave of anger and discontent. In the March 1 primaries — choosing about one-third of the delegates in each party — most states will divide their delegates in proportion to the candidates who exceed a minimum threshold of […]

Even before Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released his before-the-corpse-is-cold statement suggesting that the next president should pick Justice Antonin Scalia’s successor, it was clear the Republican Senate is not going to confirm whomever President Obama picks. There’s too much at stake. A new Democratic justice would shift the balance of power on the big […]

Democrats are giddy over the prospect of President Obama replacing conservative Justice Antonin Scalia with a liberal. But Republicans are equally adamant about blocking Obama’s lame-duck appointment. “This vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. It’s rare that a president makes a Supreme Court appointment […]

Many people of mature years are amazed at how many young people have voted for Senator Bernie Sanders, and are enthusiastic about the socialism he preaches. Many of those older people have lived long enough to have seen socialism fail, time and again, in countries around the world. Venezuela, with all its rich oil resources, […]

On Saturday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the foremost thinker of the originalist and textualist judicial philosophy, died. It threw constitutional loyalists across the nation into mourning — not just because Scalia was a brilliant expositor of the founding document, a great defender of the constitutional order, but also because with Scalia’s death, Democrats are […]

During Saturday night’s GOP presidential debate in North Carolina, Donald Trump asserted that former president George W. Bush and his administration deliberately misled the world about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Trump declared: “They lied! They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none.” This claim […]

PARIS — What if Russia and the Syrian government succeed in wiping out the Islamic State? It’s a distinct possibility as the Syrian army closes in on Raqqa, the stronghold of the terror group’s so-called caliphate. If such a victory were to occur, a critical narrative would die. Which narrative? Well, let’s ask the establishment […]

Much has been said regarding the latest American company to pull up stakes and leave the country. Carrier Air Conditioners is leavingIndiana and moving its plant to Mexico.   During Saturday’s republican debate, Trump brought up this fact. He said he would not use an executive order to punish Carrier for leaving. Instead he would […]

This special episode of The Glazov Gang was joined by Dr. Peter Hammond, the founder of Frontline Fellowship.  Dr. Hammond came on the show to discuss How the Animal Kingdom Exposes Leftist Utopia as a Sham, unveiling the world of animals and its delegitimization of the socialist fairy tale. Don’t miss it! And make sure […]

Amid the petty bickering, loud rhetoric and sordid attack ads in this year’s primary election campaigns, the death of a giant — Justice Antonin Scalia — suddenly overshadows all of that. The vacancy created on the Supreme Court makes painfully clear the huge stakes involved when we choose a President of the United States, just […]

I realize that as an evangelical Christian I have a dog in this fight, but I want to say a few words about evangelicals and the unfortunate effort afoot to make them the political boogeyman. There are so many misconceptions about “evangelicals” — from the definition of the word to the intentions of the people […]

Not all Republicans are talented valedictorians residing on Mt. Genius, but today’s Democratic party and its supporters have become disgustingly dumber as the presidential campaign wears on. It escapes me how a Democrat, let alone any American citizen, would cede their rights to bureaucratic dolts. But that is the preference of the Democratic electorate. Their […]

A pillar of contemporary leftism is the notion of “white privilege.” Given that a generation of high school and college students are being taught that a great number of “unearned privileges” accrue to white Americans — the charge of white privilege demands rational inquiry. The assertion turns out to be largely meaningless. And more significantly, […]

Apparently American Muslims are not American. Oh, they may think they are, but this is evidently not the case. Normal Americans go to work every day and send their normal American kids off to school. They don’t consider themselves particularly special. They don’t ask others for a carve out or to be celebrated as being […]

The CBS presidential debate in Greenville, South Carolina, started off with a moment of silence in memory of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose death was announced earlier in the day. And the debate that followed was a sort of tribute to the late jurist. Not that Scalia was much talked about. Every candidate agreed that the […]

Hillary Clinton has not been having a good couple of months. Her run to the White House was supposed to be a “gimmie,” a tap-in putt. It was hers for the taking, and she scratched on the 8-ball. Not that she doesn’t deserve it. On little accomplishment of her own, she’s become one of the […]
