Unlike last month’s contentious GOP debate on CNBC, the event staged by Fox Business Network and The Wall Street Journal was thankfully less about the moderators and more about the candidates. It was about content, not about which moderator could ask the best “gotcha” question. We are moving beyond the “who won” stage in these […]

One need not be intricately familiar with the tale of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” to appreciate that the federal budget process has similarly become an alternate reality replete with sketchy characters, peril and the absurd. In the latest trip down the Beltway rabbit hole, a Republican-led Congress relied on Democratic votes to produce a two-year […]

Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio strengthened themselves in the fourth Republican Party debate, which was held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, last night. Trump regained his former form — irreverent, blunt, feisty, fearless and strong. He dished out red meat all night. His best moments were in his dissection of the excuses for granting amnesty, […]

There is a video that could tear Chicago apart. It will go viral if released, and the world will see something ugly and frightening on the Southwest Side. It comes from a police dashboard camera. City Hall worries that political hell may be on the way. Activists are primed. The politics of race and police […]

You don’t have to wander long in the liberal commentariat to find projections that the Republican Party is in a death spiral, doomed by demographics, discredited by the dissension among House Republicans, disenchanted with its experienced presidential candidates and despised by the great mass of voters. There is something to be said for each of […]

A few days ago I wrote my opinion regarding the “racial strife” at theUniversity of Missouri. http://commonconstitutionalist.com/current-events/social-justice-warriors-invade-a-university/ Much to my disappointment, but not surprise, the president and the Chancellor of the University have both been forced to resign. Let me rephrase. Both men knuckled under the pressure of their own white liberal guilt. Their collective attempts to […]

Well, this should make the crapweasels in D.C. listen. On Monday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals told the immigration power-grabbers in the Obama administration to stuff it. The amnesty sympathizers in the media mourned mightily. “Appeals court rules against Obama’s plan to protect about 5 million people from deportation,” the Associated Press spun. “Court […]

Sometimes I like Donald Trump. He makes me laugh when he mocks reporters’ stupid questions. Sometimes he’s smart. When Maryland’s lefty governor said a tax on rich people would “raise revenue,” Trump told me why it wouldn’t. The taxpayers would just flee: “I know these people! They’re international people! Whether they live here or in […]

What’s the best place to get a no-show job? The federal government. Uncle Sam pays corrupt or incompetent employees not to come to work, because it’s easier than firing them, never mind the cost to taxpayers. Congress is trying to get to the bottom of this outrageous waste. So far, the Obama administration is stonewalling. […]

University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe must wonder what he did wrong. It all began back in September when the black student government president complained that a racist drove by in a truck and allegedly called him a racial slur. Then, in September, a group of black students said that a drunken white racist shouted […]

PARIS — If you want to learn the identities of American special operations forces personnel, including members of the elite Delta Force, you may want to avoid the experience of being stonewalled by the U.S. Freedom of Information Act and just try asking the Chinese government instead. Last week, a friend of mine, a former […]

This special edition ofThe 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 Muslim Brotherhood: Above the Law in America, unveiling how stealth Jihadists are now out of reach of investigators, national security analysts and members of Congress. [See […]

Dr. Ben Carson’s whole life has been very unusual, so perhaps we should not be surprised to see the latest twist — the media going ballistic over discrepancies in a few things he said. Years ago, when I was writing some autobiographical sketches, I dug up old letters, to check out things that I remembered […]

Since I began reading the Bible, I have been fascinated by the story of Jesus’ encounter with two of his apostles on the road to Emmaus, a village close to Jerusalem, in one of his resurrection appearances. The two men were despondent because Jesus, who had been crucified and buried just a few days before, […]

Activists at the University of Missouri just won themselves a trophy Monday. After weeks of protests against the president of the University of Missouri System, Tim Wolfe — and, most importantly, after the Mizzou football team threatened to boycott games until Wolfe quit — the administrator caved. “It is my belief we stopped listening to […]

JERUSALEM — I want to explain why I am in Israel. I am in here with 450 American (and a German and a Canadian) listeners to my radio show. About 400 are non-Jews. We are here on a “Stand with Israel” tour organized by the syndicator of my radio show, the Salem Radio Network, and […]

“‘Who shut s**t down? We shut s**t down,’ was one of the many chants over a hundred students, faculty and staff shouted duringThursday’s Concerned Student 1950  http://www.themaneater.com/stories/2015/11/5/concerned-student-1950-organizers-and-supporters-t/ walkout in support of graduate student Jonathan Butler’s hunger strike calling for the removal of UM System President Tim Wolfe.”   That’s typical of the college experience these […]

Incredible as it may seem, MSNBC host Rachael Maddow managed to get though an entire two-hour Democratic forum where she questioned Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley without once mentioning the email scandal or the FBI investigation of Clinton. Not even one mention! Did Clinton demand that Maddow avoid the topic as a condition […]

President Obama’s unilateral rejection of the proposed KeystoneXL oil pipeline that would have brought petroleum and jobs to the U.S. is another in a long list of issues dominated by politics rather than common sense, economics and science. After seven years of dithering on Keystone, the president said he was following the recommendation of Secretary […]

This new special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined byIngrid Carlqvist, a Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute. Ingrid came on the show to discuss Sweden: On the Verge of Collapse, unveiling the cliff that Sweden is speeding toward — as the mass wave of Muslim “refugees” overwhelms the country. [See also Ingrid […]

About a quarter of the way into the CNBC-hosted Republican debate at the University of Colorado, Sen. Ted Cruz reached back and cast a lightning bolt into the proceedings. He jolted the debate, the whole debate process, and possibly even the election. CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla raised the issue of the debt limit with Sen. Cruz. […]

A frustrated hopeless patriot wrote: “Unfortunately Mr. Marcus, it’s not only the left but also the right that is out to destroy America. Wicked people in high places, the elite if you will, control both parties. That is why no matter who is elected that nothing changes.” This patriot brother’s discouragement explains why I want […]

This story starts with a transgender high school student who was born male but identifies as female. As a public high school student, she wants the school to recognize her as a girl, to call her by her new legal name, to allow her to use the girls’ bathroom and to accept her in girls’ […]

In this new Jamie Glazov Moment, Jamie dissects The Leftist Heart of Darkness, unveiling what resides in the heart of leftists to deny why Sonia Bibi was set ablaze for refusing a marriage proposal in the Muslim world.   Don’t miss it. And make sure to watch the special Jamie Glazov Moment in which Jamie proclaims […]

Apparently, integrity and critical thinking are not qualities found in today’s mainstream media. We know this after watching the CNBC-hosted Republican debate billed as one which would focus on “the key issues that matter to all voters—job growth, taxes, technology, retirement and the health of our national economy.” Obviously, that did not happen. Instead, Americans […]

“‘Shut up,’ he explained.” That’s a sentence from Ring Lardner’s short story “The Young Immigrunts.” It’s an exasperated father’s response from the driver’s seat to his child’s question, “Are you lost, Daddy?” They also can be taken as the emblematic response of today’s liberals to anyone questioning their certitudes. As with the father in the […]

U.S. News & World Report’s http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/highest-acceptance-rate has released their annual college acceptance list. It has ranked some 1257 colleges and universities with their average acceptance rates ranging from 100% acceptance all the way down to 5%.   Obviously 100% acceptance means that if you apply, you’re getting in. I assume all you have to do […]

“The U.S. Public Becoming Less Religious,” reads the headline from the new Pew Poll Religion in America series. The share of Americans who profess to believe in God has dropped from 92 to 89 percent since the Pew Research Center conducted its last Landscape Study in 2007. That said, the U.S. is still home to […]

What if the polls just stopped working? Admittedly, this needs work as a plot device for a Stephen King novel. But for politics, it might be pretty awesome. This week, businessman Matt Bevin won a stunning upset in the Kentucky governor’s race. It was only the second time in more than four decades that a […]
