The dictionary defines “bogeyman” as “an imaginary evil spirit, referred to typically to frighten children.” Hello, Donald Trump. It’s not clear whether he set out intentionally to elect Hillary Clinton, but there is little question that he could not be fulfilling the role of Republican bogeyman to greater effect. As Commentary’s Jonathan Tobin noted, during […]

Over the past year, while the U.S. economy has continually missed expectations, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen has assured all who could stay awake during her press conferences that it was strong enough to withstand tighter monetary policy. In delivering months of mildly tough talk (with nothing in the way of action), Yellen began stressing […]

PARIS — Candidates in the U.S. presidential race would be wise to pay attention to what’s happening in France. Over the weekend, France’s so-called “far-right” National Front won 27.7 percent of the national vote in the first of two regional election rounds. Anyone looking at this result through a strictly ideological lens risks oversimplifying it. […]

On Dec. 9, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a constitutional challenge to racial preferences in college admissions. These preferences obviously hurt whites and Asians turned down to make room for less qualified minorities. Ironically the preferences also harm many Hispanics and African-Americans — the very students that are supposed to be helped. No wonder […]

Months ago, a concerned American at a school in Texas spotted a 14-year-old Muslim boy toting around a contraption that looked very much like a bomb. That Texan called the police, who came and detained the boy; after learning that the boy’s device was actually a disassembled clock, they released him. Weeks ago, a concerned […]

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel — the Democrat who suppressed a police video of a white cop killing a black teenager in order keep black votes and win re-election — has a favorite saying. “Chicago is the most American of American cities,” Emanuel has said, repeatedly. “It’s not just any city. If you want to come […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang presents The Daniel Greenfield Moment with Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center who writes the blog The Point at Frontpagemag.com. Daniel discussed Migration is the Greatest Threat to National Security, unveiling something Obama and the Left just can’t seem to understand: It’s not the […]

The president says: “ISIL is not Islamic,” despite the fact that Islamic is in their name. “ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple,” he adds.   Before I go any further, let me clarify Obama’s steadfast insistence on using the term ISIL instead of ISIS. ISIS is the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, […]

LONDON — Wisdom can often be found in unexpected places. During debate in the House of Commons on whether Britain should join the U.S. and Russia in bombing ISIS targets in Syria, Hilary Benn, the shadow foreign secretary of the liberal Labour Party, delivered a speech that approached Winston Churchill in its vision: “And we […]

Moments after Sayed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik, murdered 14 innocents in San Bernardino, CA, our radical leftist President and his Attorney General dealt with the carnage by attacking the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution. When President Obama took the oath of office, he pledged to defend the United States and the […]

When the President of the United States asks the television networks to set aside time for him to broadcast a speech from the Oval Office, we can usually expect that he has something new to say. But President Obama’s speech Sunday night was just a rehash of what he has been saying all along, trying […]

Once again, President Obama emerged from his permanent sabbatical on the war on terror to inform us, in a bizarre address from the Oval Office, that he has things firmly under control and there’s no need for us Americans to be concerned. Excuse me if I’m not comforted. Obama has made quite clear that he […]

  There is something I forgot to mention in my Sunday column about California’s gun laws and their failure to stop the San Bernardino terrorist attack last week: I supported California’s 1989 assault weapon ban. The bill passed after a vicious elementary schoolyard shooting in Stockton left five children dead. The shooter had an AK-47. […]

  According to the father of the San Bernardino terrorist, Syed Rizwan Farook, his son was “obsessed with Israel.” In an interview in the Italian newspaper La Stampa, the senior Syed Farook said, “My son said that he shared [Islamic State leader] Al Baghdadi’s ideology and supported the creation of the Islamic State. He was […]

So, Mr. President – ISIS is contained and on the run, are they? Well, I agree with half – the on-the-run part. They are on the run – running all over the globe.   First though – remember this?   A report in the Wall Street Journal cited a German Defense Ministry official http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/08/14/the-troubling-truth-behind-isis-chemical-weapons-claims who said […]

Although there is a sense that Donald Trump’s unusual and outlandish run for the presidency is the first ever of its kind, this is not entirely true. Californians, such as myself, remember how Arnold Schwarzenegger captured the governorship of California in 2003, in a campaign remarkably similar to Trump’s. Obviously, governor of California is not […]

I am so sick of these progressive Democrats waiting to pounce on death and exploit it to their advantage. It takes a special kind of person to do it, to see something awful unfolding on television and think, “How can I use this to my advantage?” That’s the modern American left, and it has to […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang presents The Nonie Darwish Moment. An ex-Muslim who is the author of The Devil We Don’t Know, Nonie focuses on The Truth About The San Bernardino Terror Attack, stressing how it is high time to stop shaming Americans for wanting to protect their nation. Don’t miss it! And make […]

Dear New York Daily News, You’re doing it wrong. Long before the blood was mopped up, before police issued the all-clear, before the motives of the shooters were known and the names of the dead were released, before you had any idea how the murderers in San Bernardino obtained their guns — or their bombs […]

There are two kinds of Americans. One sees a mass shooting — such as the recent killings in San Bernardino, California, and Colorado Springs, Colorado — and automatically thinks other people should not be able to buy or own guns or own some kinds of guns. The other learns of a mass shooting and takes […]

This morning Glenn Beck said his security analyst and former CIA officer Buck Sexton at the Blaze confirmed that Homeland Security held the official release of San Bernardino radical Syed Farook’s name for several hours to give enough time for the terrorist’s family along with Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR to hold a press conference. […]

This mass shooting was definitely radical Islamic terrorism. Than can be no question anymore. Whether Syed Farook was radicalized here or abroad is immaterial at this point. It certainly should become relevant as the investigation continues, but he and his wife did kill in the name of Islam. That’s a fact. It wasn’t Christianity, Judaism, […]

There are just eight-and-a-half weeks to go until the Iowa caucuses, with two of those weeks devoted to holidays during which polling is ordinarily not conducted, and the race for the Republican presidential nomination seems to be taking perceptible shape. And it continues to defy conventional wisdom. Since mid-July Donald Trump has been leading in […]

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.   He came on the show to discuss When Islamic “Refugees” Turn to Terror, shedding disturbing light on the most dangerous “course of action” of the enemy. [See also Stephen […]

In the aftermath of Paris and before San Bernardino, Hillary Clinton articulated the forced catechism of the left: “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” What happens when a major political party becomes so wedded to political correctness that it […]

What do you call it when elites fly their private jets to an international climate change conference to forge a deal with despots that caps American prosperity without our consent? You call it progressivism. It’s estimated that 50,000 carbon-spewing humans participated in the Paris climate conference. But while President Barack Obama was taking his working […]

In my youth, Dec. 7 was always a big deal, as we remembered Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, most of those alive on that fateful day in 1941 are no longer with us, and the collective memory of the event has faded. Subsequent generations have other powerful dates to remember. Nov. 22, the […]
