Sure, Obama is personally popular, but the same cannot be said for his policies or his legacy.
Democrats didn't just lose the 2016 presidential election, they lost seats across the country at every level of government under Obama's tenure in the White House.
Unlike most U.S. presidents out of power, the Obamas are staying in Washington, D.C., so their younger daughter can finish school. But let's be honest, they're also staying so they can respond to the new administration.
When I was a UA student, I was given the ultimate runaround when my student group wanted to bring author and activist David Horowitz to speak on campus.
When I visited Israel for the first time, in 2014, on a trip sponsored by the National Religious Broadcasters, I went to the Museum of The Bible with our group. There, we saw the most ancient and original versions of both the Hebrew and Christian bibles.
The world's oldest Christian populations have been driven from their homes and have become nearly extinct in the Middle East.
The vast majority of people in academia, especially at the administrative level, have so little confidence in their ability to make an argument for their liberal cause, they choose to keep conservatives from making their own case at all. It's pathetic, cowardly, unconstitutional and completely predictable.
In order to truly get deficit spending and federal debt under control, the Trump administration is going to have to eventually address entitlement reform. If not, Trump will not only become part of the Washington status quo on the issue, but will leave burdensome and expensive problems for future generations.
Historically, Democrats have been far more united than Republicans when it comes to policy, ideology and public debate.
I'm not Cuban and therefore don't have any family members who were oppressed by Castro's regime. But I do have a number of friends whose families were.
Of course Castro was Cuba's longest serving president. After all, he was a dictator.
James O'Keefe is a journalist, doing the work 'real' journalists don't dare, and has been conducting undercover investigations for years with dozens of scalps collected along the way. The more the 'true' journalists who back the Democrat machine attack him, the more emboldened he becomes to pursue his next project.
In the wake of a Trump victory, the Democratic Party is tacking to the left in an attempt to harness the populist message that put Trump in the White House.
In the category of U.S. interest, Israeli intelligence services regularly share valuable and essential information about the Middle East. As the region has all but collapsed under Obama's leadership, Israel has been a reliable, steady, stable force in the region.
Denying that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel does nothing to promote peace - instead, it disrespects a longtime, helpful and humane ally in the Middle East.
The U.S. relationship with the Palestinians is a limited, one-way street for a number of reasons, one prominently being a lack of common moral values.
Here's the reality: There is always a credible threat, and terror can strike at any time, anywhere, especially as lone wolf attacks backed up by Islamic ideology become more prevalent.
We don't have to learn to live with terror, but we must be prepared and accept the reality it is here.
All Americans are taught, and hopefully believe, in the idea that we are all created equal and should be treated that way.
All lives matter, including black lives, which is a value we should be striving for rather than condemning.
